CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 132 - 119 Another Withdrawal
Chapter 132: Chapter 119 Another Withdrawal
Tencent Headquarters
As soon as Yang Xiaoyue walked into the lobby, she saw the boss of "Kedou Entertainment," the company behind the "Fashion Girl Group," coming out of another elevator.
"So quick to act! I thought they’d wait until after the first public performance to place their bets."
Yang Xiaoyue guessed that the other party came to discuss debut matters after seeing the show gaining popularity.
Before the show started, to convince these girl groups’ companies to participate, Tencent promised many debut positions.
Of course, those were empty promises, to put it bluntly, they were deceiving, and such things are commonplace in the entertainment industry.
Even big bosses can lie without batting an eyelid, unless there’s a mutual exchange of benefits or your status is such that they dare not leave promises unfulfilled.
"Mr. Wan, were you looking for me?" Yang Xiaoyue smiled.
"Xiaoyue, have a seat, there’s something I need to discuss with you."
Wan Kai’s words surprised Yang Xiaoyue. The show was progressing smoothly, what could be the issue?
"Xiaoyue, Mr. He from Kedou just came over. He wants to take Zheng Chengcheng away to shoot a drama."
"How can that be? There are less than five days until the performance. If she leaves, what will happen to her group’s segment?" Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoyue was shocked and angry.
"Moreover, Yu Xiaohong from their girl group left because of family matters. If another person goes, what will the trainees think?"
Wan Kai’s face was also grim: "Xiaoyue, I understand what you’re saying, and I’ve explained the pros and cons to Mr. He, but you know, Kedou is an entertainment company from Taiwan, and there’s nothing we can do."
Yang Xiaoyue’s expression turned even uglier: "Mr. Wan, it’s not 20 years ago anymore. Our domestic entertainment companies don’t have to look at anyone’s face."
Wan Kai smiled faintly and looked at her deeply: "Xiaoyue, cut all unnecessary footage of Kedou’s people for me."
"Okay, Mr. Wan!" Yang Xiaoyue agreed with satisfaction.
"Also, increase the screen time for Meixuan from Galaxy, and also give Lv Fangxin and Ye Yuwei more airtime."
Yang Xiaoyue understood giving Meixuan more airtime—such moves were aimed at dealing a blow to Kedou using Yuehua—but why more time for Lv Fangxin and Ye Yuwei?
"I don’t want to see another Kedou," Wan Kai said coldly.
Yang Xiaoyue nodded to show she understood: "Based on the feedback data, Lv Fangxin’s beating and attention are the highest, but the Galaxy we’re giving hope to isn’t doing well."
"Hmph! Old Mu doesn’t want the fans of his small group to cast their votes for us. He’s unwilling to give up that little money and fears losing the girl group market." sneered Wan Kai, leaning back in his chair.
"In fact, the company really doesn’t care about just the money from fans’ votes; what we’re after is a mainstream market share." Wan Kai paused and continued, "The standalone mobile phone ad for the next episode goes to Lu Bingbing."
"Mr. Wan, mobile phone ads are the most high-end brand endorsements. Shouldn’t they go to the most popular person?"
"I know, not even Little Juzi, Galaxy’s top member, can get such an ad, so..."
Yang Xiaoyue looked into Wan Kai’s eyes, and with her high IQ and rich experience in the industry, she understood his intentions—this was a lure!
Once Lu Bingbing gets that ad, what will her fans think, and what about Galaxy’s fans?
They would naturally hope for better prospects for their idols, and Lu Bingbing herself would certainly be greatly affected.
Old Mu can forcibly control Lu Bingbing, but can he control those fans?
"Xiaoyue, there may be some fans coming to follow and film during this period. As long as they’re not excessive, just ignore them."
"Okay, Mr. Wan, let’s leave these matters to the comprehensive management department to handle!"
Yang Xiaoyue knew that Tencent must have other arrangements.
Base
Zheng Chengcheng was packing her luggage, and some girls who were usually on good terms with her came to say goodbye.
Afterward, everyone tacitly left, leaving only Yang Ni and the others from her original group.
Chen Luoyan went over to turn off the cameras, as it was rest time, and turning them off was allowed.
"Chengcheng, I wish you success in your drama shooting," Yang Ni, feeling conflicted, hugged her.
"I don’t want to leave either, but there’s nothing I can do." Zheng Chengcheng smiled bitterly.
Actually, leaving this time was not saddening for her, just a bit of a pity.
Because she realized she didn’t have much popularity on this show, and continuing would just mean being a background character.
Going out to act is also good. After all, Kedou is a professional film and TV company, and it’s quite famous in Taiwan. The drama this time was with a top star.
"I’m just afraid leaving will impact you guys."
"It’s fine, our company discussed dual coordination of work with this side when we came," Yang Ni wasn’t worried about this.
"I think there’s no impact either, everything was already negotiated," Wang Miaomiao laughed.
At this time, the ones feeling a bit down were Chen Luoyan and Zhao Juke, who had low popularity here and no acting opportunities.
"Everyone, do your best! You will definitely debut successfully," Zheng Chengcheng gave each teammate a big hug.
As these girls were saying their goodbyes, Lv Fangxin was working hard in the practice room.
She was practicing with extreme seriousness, focusing on every movement.
She thought others would blame her for being "clumsy," but surprisingly, everyone was helping her, including her original teammate, Mei Zhu.
"Fangxin, don’t worry. Our song is just a sweet little tune, not difficult. As long as you grasp those key points, you’ll be able to dance well," Jiang Xijie looked at her encouragingly.
"Captain, I’ll definitely work hard," Lv Fangxin also encouraged herself.
"Great, do you know what your biggest problem is?" Jiang Xijie asked.
"What is it?"
"You can actually dance," Jiang Xijie didn’t answer her question directly but said something that surprised everyone.
Lv Fangxin also widened her eyes, as it was the first time someone said she could dance.
"If without music, you can smoothly dance the whole routine, and you also learn moves quickly." freёnovelkiss.com
"Then, Captain, is that true? Then why can’t I follow the music well?"
"Because you lack musical sense, you don’t know which movement to do at which beat, and once the music starts, you get confused."
Jiang Xijie explained seriously, knowing that this could ruin her singing as well.
Of course, she wouldn’t discourage Lv Fangxin.
Running her own company, she instinctively wanted to motivate employees to do their best and improve the company’s performance.
Additionally, she knew she wasn’t very popular, but within this group, Lv Fangxin was very popular.
If they could perfect the stage performance, maybe audiences focusing on Lv Fangxin could notice them.
"Captain, what should I do then?"
"It’s simple, I’ll give you a signal before each beat where you need to hit a point, and if you follow others then, you won’t make mistakes."
After setting a plan for Lv Fangxin, Jiang Xijie looked at Mei Zhu.
This girl was slightly better than Lv Fangxin, unable to sing either but with some dance foundation, like a late starter.
"Mei Zhu, your problem is your singing voice not coming out, but you have no issues with dance."
"Captain, what should I do?" Mei Zhu asked, feeling anxious.
Her personality was a bit introverted in front of strangers, not daring to express herself.
"If you really can’t hit the notes, try lowering the pitch by a semitone."
"Is that okay?"
"Yes, it’s fine. Our song’s key isn’t high, and non-professionals won’t notice if you lower the pitch."
Jiang Xijie patted Mei Zhu’s shoulder in encouragement.
Pan Junya from Milky Way Girl looked at Jiang Xijie’s arrangements and felt she had come to the right place.
Though this group’s overall standard wasn’t high, the atmosphere was great, and Jiang Xijie was indeed a competent captain.
