Chapter 710: Chapter 710
The second day, He Jinxia woke up early, bid farewell to Sheng Yan as he entered the airport and then returned home to watch reality TV shows.
For an entire morning, she skimmed through three programs, watching each one carefully, and finally settled on one. When she saw the name of the program, the corners of Jinxia’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch—
"Your Life, I Guard".
She didn’t know what the person in charge of the program was thinking with this name. If she wasn’t just a star invited to record, without the right to make changes to the program name, she would definitely have given it a thorough makeover. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noveⅼfire.net
The concept of this reality show was related to fire safety, with an excellent purpose, and it stood out as refreshingly different from the numerous other reality shows on the market. It was just the bizarre name that had almost made both her and Luo You miss it.
When she first glanced at it, anyone would have thought it was some kind of large-scale dating show!
Having settled on the program, He Jinxia called Luo You.
"Okay, I’ll discuss with the program team. You mentioned before that you wanted to invest in a program—it’s a very good idea. Just so happens your endorsement fee has also come in, quite generous at that. I’ll look for related information to see if there’s an opening for you to get involved."
Luo You worked more and more efficiently, quickly confirming the next steps. The conversation shifted, and he said:
"After you left yesterday, I immediately called the person in charge of "Burn, Boys" to convey your thoughts. The person appeared very hesitant, and I think the chances are slim."
He Jinxia hadn’t expected to thwart Deng Zhaoyan in one strike and block her completely. She spoke indifferently, "If they choose not to accept, I will no longer cooperate with "Burn, Boys" from now on."
Luo You: "Naturally, why should we give our heads to the enemy, asking to die quicker?"
If "Burn, Boys" refused He Jinxia, it would mean they were inclined to reconcile with Deng Zhaoyan, and that their willingness to do so was rather strong. Although Zhaoyan was not yet a regular guest, it seemed to be only a matter of time.
Jinxia and Zhaoyan were like fire and water, avoiding appearing together unless absolutely necessary.
Just as he was about to hang up, Luo You suddenly mentioned, "It’s Friday today. "Strongest Female Trainee" is officially airing. If you are free, you might want to watch it. If the ratings are good in the next couple of days, we’ll invite you to be a special guest next week and collaborate with one of the girl groups."
He Jinxia paused, seemingly having thought of something, and asked, "’Strongest Female Trainee’ has aired, so wouldn’t Shengshi Entertainment’s ’Sunshine Youth Charge Ahead’ also be aired?"
Speaking of Shengshi Entertainment’s program, Luo You had a strange expression on his face; he couldn’t quite grasp what the top brass was thinking.
Although they were sworn enemies with Shengshi Entertainment, and both programs were meant to compete head to head, the hype had been built up since May, getting more intense and starting to feel like a tragic love affair. The online sentiment also got a bit odd.
Comments like "Good brothers, walking together," "Best buddies sharing the joys," and "Real men, admiring each other as worthy opponents" started popping up.
What began as a fight to the death now seemed, in retrospect, like a performance, each taking its turn on stage, round after round of nonstop climaxes.
Gathering his thoughts, Luo You said, "Right, Shengshi Entertainment’s program is clashing with Tonghua Entertainment. We both picked Friday, but we’ve chosen different online broadcasting channels and television stations to air it."
He Jinxia nodded, indicating her understanding, and hung up the phone.
She had been filming for the past few months and wasn’t very familiar with the company’s internal operations, nor with the complex thoughts in Luo You’s mind.
In the evening, He Jinxia sat in front of the TV, watching "Strongest Female Trainee," while her phone buzzed nonstop.
Yu Yanyu was an amusing character, who after wrapping up the film in the crew, returned to his "reckless, free-spirited, carefree" lifestyle, incessantly texting in the Huami endorsement group chat. He was bursting with energy, yet—
No one paid any attention to him ╮(╯▽╰)╭
The kid couldn’t stand being ignored and somehow managed to add Ren Xiao and Qiu Zhenze to the group today.
[Huami Advertising Endorsement Quartet] was officially renamed to [Yu Yanyu’s Happy Bros Group]!
He Jinxia noticed her phone buzzing unusually, opened it, and saw this ridiculous group name.
Suddenly, she felt the urge to leave the group!
Fortunately, she wasn’t the only one who found the name unbearable. Qin Siqin also felt very uncomfortable and immediately challenged Yanyu about it.
While watching TV, He Jinxia glanced down at her phone, splitting her attention and occasionally typing a sentence or two to echo Qin Siqin’s sentiments.
Ren Xiao and Qiu Zhenze, also not feeling awkward, politely sent a [Hello everyone.jpg] and swiftly sided with the girls, teaming up to gang up on Yanyu.
Yanyu was teased mercilessly and didn’t stand a chance. In his own words, he was left with a swollen face and tearful eyes, forced to submit and change the group name—
[Yu Yanyu’s Happy Bros Group] was then changed to [Happy Fountain of Joy Everyday Group]!
Although this name still had a strong whiff of teenage angst, it was at least much better than the previous one, and Qin Siqin and the others reluctantly accepted it.
He Jinxia’s eyes curved into a smile as she mostly just watched the screen, occasionally laughing at what they said.
After watching for a while, she stretched her neck and looked up to see that the show had moved to the stage where the girl group members were showcasing themselves.
The so-called self-showcasing was singing and dancing.
There was no elimination at this stage, so everyone tried hard to show their best side and utilize their strengths to leave a good impression on the judges in front of them and the viewers in front of the screen.
There were only one hundred and twenty trainees selected for this program, which would average twelve groups of ten, but the reality was not so ideal.
Some were individual, with more forming trios, quartets, or quintets. In total, there were twenty-one groups.
The production team tried to give each group some performance time because after this round of performances, the next episode would introduce the elimination round.
He Jinxia watched the first few groups perform and nodded her approval; although the venue was a bit crude, the lighting was good, and the trainees were very skilled.
Some trainee groups’ performances were not weaker than some third-tier girl groups on the market and showed a lot of potential.
He Jinxia heard that a large-scale reality show for selecting girl groups had already been started abroad, a new type that had been organized just last year.
Tonghua Entertainment wanted to undertake this venture and had already communicated with people responsible for similar shows abroad, gaining a lot of valuable experience.
She found herself sitting up straighter, putting down her phone, and watching the show with full attention.
