Chen Li was the manager of Tianxing Entertainment. She had once groomed an international movie king.
However, after this international movie king terminated his contract with Tianxing Entertainment, Chen Li did not have a top artist under her management. The best she had was only a second-tier artist, and she had fallen to the bottom.
Until this year, Chen Li groomed Ye Xi.
Ye Xi and Shang Yaozhi shot to fame after filming "The Spy in Disguise" and became the hottest female celebrity with countless fans.
Chen Li's status in Tianxing Entertainment naturally rose as well. Many artists wanted to sign under her.
Ye Xi was now very popular and had endless offers, so Chen Li did not have to worry at all.
She selected a few newcomers and sent them to "Youth 202" to compete.
Chen Li had already noticed Yun Heyue when the auditions for "Youth 202" started.
There were many beauties in the entertainment industry, and they were much prettier than Yun Heyue.
However, there were fewer and fewer talented young people nowadays.
Shang Yaozhi was an exception.
Chen Li decisively contacted Yun Heyue and wanted to sign her.
After several attempts, she was rejected.
She could not sign a good talent under her, and Chen Li would not allow Yun Heyue to join her rival company.
Otherwise, with Yun Heyue's talent, she would definitely become the new top star of the entertainment industry if she debuted.
She still had a chance to suppress Yun Heyue.
There were still five minutes before the singing auditions ended. Chen Li informed one of the music teachers that she would use up the time that was originally reserved for Yun Heyue.
This music teacher had a deep relationship with her, so Yun Heyue would only get a zero for the singing part.
Even if Yun Heyue got full marks for dancing, she would not be able to compete with the contestants she brought.
She wanted to oppress Yun Heyue and force Yun Heyue into a corner.
This way, Yun Heyue would either have to sign a contract with her, or get out of the entertainment industry. She would not be able to sing or dance.
Yun Heyue ignored Chen Li. She took out her phone and typed a message for Ying Zijin.
[Sister, it's okay.]
[They are all noobs. I can be in the top ten just by dancing.]
Ying Zijin was silent for a moment.
This reminded her of what Wen Tinglan had said about the children in the Elite Class being silly.
"First place is yours, so it's yours." Ying Zijin opened WeChat and sent a message to her secretary.
After that, she sat down and said indifferently, "Wait for a while. Let's eat something."
Since she had promised Yu Xuesheng to take care of Yun Heyue, she would help him to the end.
Yun Heyue was very obedient and sat down with her.
Seeing this, Chen Li walked over.
She did not take Ying Zijin seriously at all. She was just an assistant.
"Yun Heyue, as a senior in the entertainment industry, I advise you to be obedient." Chen Li smiled. "Signing a contract is just a matter of a name. You don't even have a company. Do you really think you can debut in the end?"
Talent shows were all about capital competition.
Yun Heyue continued to ignore Chen Li. She was playing online with Ying Zijin.
Chen Li furrowed her brows in displeasure. Just as she was about to speak, the door to the hall was suddenly pushed open.
An angry roar startled the contestants waiting outside the arena. They were flustered and exasperated.
"Who took up other people's interview time? Huh? Hurry up and get out here! Do you think you own this place? Hurry up! Get out here! Don't make me repeat myself! "
Chen Li's smile froze. She jerked her head up and her expression changed. "Producer Lee?"
Producer Lee did not even look at Chen Li. He rushed to the door of the recording studio and kicked it open again.
He pointed at the contestants who were still inside and scolded them in front of everyone. "Do you think you're God? Do we have to serve you? Take up other people's time? Who do you think you are! "
The contestants were stunned by the scolding.
Even the music coach who had a deal with Chen Li was pale.
After Producer Lee finished scolding, he was still angry. He slammed the folder in his hand. "You want the screen time, right? All of you will go according to your score. If you maliciously take up other people's time, your score will be halved! "
Producer Lee was also terrified.
Whether it was this interview or the public performance voting in the future, the major companies would control it.
Without a backer, one would be suppressed. This was a very common thing in the entertainment industry.
Producer Lee did not take such a small matter as the interview to heart. However, Chu Guang Media's call knocked him out.
The original words were — —
"The production team is so powerful. They can't even protect fairness and the interests of the contestants. What's the point of holding it? There's no need to hold it anymore. "
First Light Media was the biggest investor this time. It had surpassed one of the organizers, Tianxing Entertainment.
This was a sugar daddy!
What if he was unhappy and withdrew his investment?
After Producer Lee hung up the phone, he rushed over from the office in a hurry.
As for Chen Li?
How could she compare to a sugar daddy?
Producer Lee took a breath and turned his head. "Next contestant, you can go in. I'll give you more time. Don't feel pressured."
Chen Li's face turned green.
Ying Zijin leaned back in her chair lazily. She raised her chin slightly and signaled Yun Heyue to do as she pleased.
Yun Heyue then went in.
The contestant in the recording studio came out in a sorry state.
Chen Li was so angry that her whole body was trembling.
However, she was facing the executive producer. She was helpless and could only hold her anger.
The contestant lowered her head. "Sister Li, I'm sorry."
"He's lucky." Chen Li's chest heaved up and down heavily. She sneered. "The executive producer happened to be here today and saved Yun Heyue once. I'd like to see if he'll be so lucky next time."
She had been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years. Yun Heyue couldn't compare to her.
"Go to the dance studio." Chen Li picked up her bag and said coldly, "You still have to dance later. Perform well. The company won't let the production team reduce your screen time."
**
Yun Heyue finished recording quickly.
She was usually quiet, but her voice was very explosive. It could easily attract everyone's attention.
As expected, she was the only one who got full marks.
The dance was the same.
After Yun Heyue finished her dance, she looked like she could handle it with ease.
She bowed to the mentors and walked out of the dance studio.
The two mentors talked to each other.
"Yun Heyue's waist is too soft." The female mentor couldn't help but exclaim. "It's rare for a guy to be able to do that. I'm starting to wonder if he's a girl."
"How is that possible?" The male mentor shook his head. "If he's a girl, how could he be selected? But he's really too good. His singing and dancing skills are different. The other students can't compare to him. "
"I saw that during the initial evaluation, he was able to get the first A," the female mentor agreed.
"But his weakness is also very big. He can't manage his expression well. He almost can't smile."
The two mentors were just casually talking. No one knew what happened in the end.
**
Ying Zijin sat outside and waited.
The video of the interview was confidential. Only the mentors, producers, directors, and other management could see it.
Whether it was the manager or the contestants, they wouldn't make it public.
But as a sugar daddy, Ying Zijin easily got the video of the dance studio from the female secretary and watched Yun Heyue's dance.
She really liked to watch pretty girls. They were pleasing to the eye.
After Yun Heyue washed her hands, she passed her phone to her.
Ying Zijin lowered her head and looked over.
There were two sentences.
[Sister, I heard from Brother Xuesheng that you like money.]
[I can help you earn money. If someone asks me to sing, I can sell a song for 10,000 yuan.]
Then, Yun Heyue typed another sentence.
[I only need food and clothes.]
Yun Heyue was still wearing her dance costume and wearing cool eyeshadow.
Ying Zijin noticed that there were many scars on her wrists, big and small.
Although they were covered with foundation, they could still be seen if one looked closely.
It wasn't hard to imagine how many beatings she had suffered in the past.
"No need." Ying Zijin shook her head slightly and chuckled. "I don't lack money."
She didn't lack money now, but she still liked to experience the joy of earning money.
Anyway, there were always idiots who gave her money on the NOK forum.
Especially the person who offered a reward of five million yuan for a translation task.
She didn't know who was so stupid and rich, but she wasn't interested in finding out.
"Let's go." Ying Zijin rolled up her sleeves and put on her hat.
She let Yun Heyue go first and followed behind.
After all, she was an assistant now.
Sometimes, this kind of role play was quite interesting.
Behind her, in the hall, Chen Li stood there with an ugly expression.
She had already stopped her once, but Yun Heyue still got two full marks.
The second place was more than 40 points behind Yun Heyue, which showed how terrifying Yun Heyue's singing and dancing skills were.
But Chen Li really couldn't figure out why Producer Lee suddenly came and embarrassed her.
She took out her phone and dialed a number.

There wasn't supposed to be a third update, but suddenly there was a recommendation and it was pulled back by the editor. I think it wants me to fail (?)
Babies, Ying Huang might be published. The good thing is that you can collect the book with the background, but some of the settings and background will be changed greatly. Things that are too mysterious will have to be deleted. Can you accept it? Anyway, I don't know how to change it.
