EBE Chapter 625: Choice
Chapter 625: Choice
Tangxing Entertainment's requirements for newcomers, especially in music, are more stringent than those of other entertainment companies.
Every once in a while, the company will rate the performance of new trainees on various aspects, including but not limited to learning ability, singing level, and creative ability.
In addition to these, there are also hidden items.
For example, appearance is very important, but sometimes not so important.
For example, after communicating with Xizhou, the language level of Xizhou will be included in the inspection project.
Chen Yubai's ability to stand out this time has a lot to do with his language skills.
Among all the trainees, his ratings in other projects were at an upper-middle level, and coupled with the skyrocketing hidden score, he naturally ranked first.
This is an open secret among new employees in the company.
Because they all knew that what the company needed this time was a singer targeting the Xizhou music market, and language was of paramount importance.
Most people envy Chen Yubai for being able to seize this opportunity, but only a few are truly jealous.
Therefore, after Chen Yubai became an overnight sensation, he received many messages of congratulations.
Chang Yun looked at him with surprise and was a little puzzled: "What's with that expression? With so many people congratulating you, shouldn't you be happy?"
Chen Yubai spread his hands and said, "I thought I had been excluded a long time ago."
"After going to the recording studio, the people who used to chat with me stopped talking to me."
"Maybe they've figured it out." Chang Yun smiled. "Many people are like this. They're worried that their friends aren't doing well, but they're also worried that their friends are doing too well."
Chen Yubai nodded in agreement, his fingers flying as he kept replying to messages from his friend list.
Chang Yun handed him a bottle of water and said, "I haven't asked you yet, how does it feel to become famous overnight?"
"Yeah, it's quite exciting, but also feels a bit like a dream."
Chen Yubai paused, then looked up and asked, "Brother Chang, is this a big deal? Do you think my family will be able to see the relevant information?"
“There’s a high probability that we can see it.”
If Chen Yubai's family cared about him, they would have seen it even if it was a low-probability event.
"call--"
Chen Yubai breathed a sigh of relief. "I hope they've calmed down and don't think I'm still messing around."
"That probably depends on how long you can stay famous."
If it is a short-lived event, Chen Yubai's family will be even more dissatisfied.
Chen Yubai understood the subtext and asked impatiently, "Then what should I do next?"
"Normally, if one or two songs become popular, you should strike while the iron is hot and continue to promote these two songs and tour at various venues..."
Just as Chen Yubai was about to ask about the "unusual" situation, Lu Wantang walked in.
It was already the second day after the street performance, and the few of them were in the conference room that came with the hotel suite.
"Why are you all here? Why don't you go back to your room to rest?"
"I think Xiao Chen is a little too excited and probably can't sleep." Chang Yun stood up and took the documents from Lu Wantang's hand.
Chen Yubai nodded in agreement.
"Why did you bring these here in person?" Chang Yun glanced down at the file names. "Pick them out. Just let me get them."
"I'm going out for a walk."
As early as last night, the address of the Tangxing Entertainment team was known by many media with a keen sense of smell, and they cannot leave the house for the time being.
Lu Wantang glanced at Chen Yubai, and Chang Yun instantly understood what he meant and placed several documents in front of the latter one by one.
"You take a look at it first." Chang Yun pointed at the documents on the table, pressed Chen Yubai's shoulder, and motioned him to sit down.
"Wantang, would you like coffee or tea? This hotel has many varieties of coffee, all of which are of good quality, but they only have a few types of tea, which seems to be just to make up the numbers."
"Then coffee will do."
Chang Yun made an OK gesture and immediately went out to prepare.
Chen Yubai's attention was focused on several documents.
Three of them are music variety shows from Xizhou.
The others are all business activities, with the remuneration, time arrangements, etc. clearly marked.
There was another one, which was a pop music competition jointly organized by the entertainment companies of Beizhou and Xizhou. Among the judges was Qiao Xinyue, whom Chen Yubai was very familiar with and liked.
He kept comparing these notices that had the same time slots, picked out three of them, and was struggling to decide which one to choose.
Chang Yun gently placed the coffee in front of Lu Wantang.
"what is this?"
Looking at the green color on the cup, Lu Wantang was a little surprised.
"Matcha ice cream latte, I think you might like it."
Lu Wantang nodded.
Whether it's matcha or latte, she has no problem with it.
Chang Yun sat down on the chair closest to her and asked in an almost whispered voice:
“He hasn’t chosen yet?”
Lu Wantang pursed her lips and smiled, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.
Chang Yun understood: "Did you deliberately choose a project that would make it difficult for him to make a decision?"
As soon as the question came out, Chen Yubai, who had been struggling for a while, finally raised his head:
"Hey, Mr. Lu, Brother Chang, I'm having trouble choosing. Do you have any suggestions?"
"Suggestion..."
Chang Yun saw that Lu Wantang didn't stop him, so he thought for a moment and said, "I see you've already picked out three announcements. Which three are they?"
"There are three variety shows. Two are from Xizhou, 'Xizhou Singers' and 'Xizhou Voice', and the other is a competition held by Xizhou and Beizhou."
Hearing this, Chang Yun nodded as expected.
"'Xizhou Singers' is a program created by the French region and held in the central city of the French region. 'Xizhou Voice' is a program from the British region and held in Olinde. The two programs are of similar quality and are both well-known programs in Xizhou. They have made many popular singers famous."
"But I'm more optimistic about 'Voice of Xizhou'. I heard that the show is going to have a younger director and is planning to invite more singers from other continents in the future. In comparison, 'Xizhou Singers' is more traditional and they're probably just inviting you for a bit of a formality."
"Wantang is also optimistic about "Voice of Xizhou", right?" Chang Yun said, looking at Lu Wantang.
The latter nodded: "This program was the first to send an invitation letter, which shows sincerity."
Chen Yubai pushed the relevant information of the "Xizhou Singer" column a little further away, "Then what about this competition in the two northwestern continents..."
Chang Yun teased: "I remember your idol is Qiao Xinyue, Teacher Qiao?"
"Yes!" Chen Yubai's face turned slightly red.
"There will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future." Chang Yun comforted him, "There's no need to participate in this."
Chen Yubai understood immediately: "You don't think this show is good?"
"That's right," Lu Wantang replied. "Although it's a semi-official program, Nanzhou and Dongzhou may also have similar programs."
Chang Yun continued, "So, even if the two continents haven't yet gotten used to each other, the show might be very controversial and might even get a lot of attention, but that controversy won't be very beneficial to the singers."
Not to mention, Chen Yubai had made a plan before his debut, focusing on Xizhou.
Lu Wantang didn't say anything more, only saying, "We won't interfere with your choice."
At the end, he even made a joke: "After all, I'm not a black-hearted boss who likes to force people."
Chen Yubai smiled and said, "I'll think about it carefully."
