Chapter 136 Fire up(1/2)
"Sister Jingrong, how have you been during this time? Is the Country of Silence fun? Well... is the Kimchi Country fun? I have never been to both countries. Which one is more fun?"
During the video call, Qiu Ming was a little awkward looking for something to say.
A few days ago, Xu Jinrong first went to Kimchi Country and then to Silence Country to attend two award ceremonies.
To put it bluntly, it is aimed at developing "international influence".
In the kimchi country, I was purely a guest of honor for one time, and later negotiated for several endorsements.
On the other side of the country of silence, they won an award, a less important award for Best Asian Pop Music.
This award is not well-known in the country of silence, but it can deceive people in China. After all, they don't know the value of this award. They just intuitively feel that it is a great thing to travel across the ocean to win the award.
Therefore, Xu Jinrong was not in the country these days, and the director of the artist department and her father personally took her to these two countries. However, Lin Xiaoxiao did not follow her because she had to take care of other artists under her.
Back in China, Xu Jinrong did what she always did. When Qiu Ming wanted to work out, she sent a call request to Qiu Ming.
Qiu Ming felt that "Sister Jingrong" was a bit strange today. She didn't speak much and only stared at him.
He could only talk when he had nothing to say to avoid embarrassment.
Xu Jingrong didn't answer his words, but only asked: "I watched the news, you and Chu Xiaoling... seemed to be having a big fight."
Qiu Ming nodded: "Yes, she came to me that night to listen to the arrangement of her song. Unexpectedly, she was secretly photographed by the entertainment reporter... Well, luckily my face was not photographed, so I was okay and didn't meet her.
trouble."
Xu Jinrong kept looking at Qiu Ming very seriously and asked, "Are you really just listening to the arrangement?"
Qiu Ming replied: "Yes, she and I listened to the arrangement once, and she sang the song again, and then she left."
"Just...nothing else?"
Xu Jinrong pursed her lips: "You stayed in the room for so long... and you only did these things?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ming immediately understood that she wanted to inquire about this.
It seems like a woman loves to gossip...
Qiu Ming felt that Xu Jinrong probably wanted to ask him, the person involved, about what happened that night after seeing the news. However, Xu Jinrong had always been aloof and could not ask such direct and explicit questions like others, so she asked so tactfully.
Qiu Ming quickly explained: "Sister Jingrong, I assure you that Tuo Xiaoling and I really only talked about that song and did nothing else."
"You...what did you promise me?"
Xu Jinrong showed a rare shy look, with a little panic in her eyes.
Qiu Ming thought she was embarrassed, and asking for gossip was inconsistent with Xu Jinrong's aloof persona, so he quickly said: "I just want to tell you that nothing happened between me and Chu Xiaoling that night... Well,
It’s just that the random writing and making-up stuff on the Internet didn’t happen.”
Xu Jinrong hummed softly and asked again: "But why did she dress up in disguise so late at night? She stayed in your room for so long... Then when she left, didn't she take off her sunglasses to let you look at her?
And then left?"
"No, that's not the case."
Qiu Ming quickly waved his hand and explained: "She came wearing sunglasses that day, and when she left, I felt..."
After listening to Qiu Ming's explanation, Xu Jinrong seemed satisfied, with a look of relief on her face.
Qiu Ming looked at Xu Jinrong and felt that "Sister Jinrong" had probably seen the news when she was overseas. She had been holding back this gossip for a long time, and now she finally asked herself clearly and felt comfortable.
"Sister Jingrong, how about... let's stop talking now. I want to start working out."
"Wait, let's talk about one more thing."
"What's up?"
"I heard from Sister Xiaoxiao that after you finish filming this scene with Zhuo Lan, you will be temporarily transferred to Sister Qin Shu, right?"
"Yes."
Qiu Ming nodded.
This was something Lin Xiaoxiao had agreed with him before. Because the executive manager of another singer Qin Shu in the company suddenly resigned, he was temporarily transferred over to take charge of Qin Shu's work.
Firstly, it was to fill the vacancy, and secondly, it was to give him an opportunity to relieve him of his job as an execution broker.
Although Lin Xiaoxiao said it was only temporary, it was an opportunity for Qiu Ming and he was very happy to accept it.
Therefore, he had already asked the artist department for Qin Shu's information in advance to make preparations in advance.
Qin Shu, a female singer, debuted at the age of sixteen, and it has been exactly ten years now.
From the first year of her debut, Qin Shu won the Best Female Singer of the Year at the Mid-Summer Music Festival, and her song "The Sun Shines High" became one of the top ten golden songs of the year.
Achieving such results as soon as he debuted can be described as a promising career.
But as if in line with the saying that debut is the peak, Qin Shu's situation went from bad to worse from then on, and he never gained momentum again.
Although she has been releasing works over the years, and some of them have good sales results, if compared with those popular stars, she can really only be regarded as ordinary, and there is no way to satisfy the company when she debuted.
expectations for her.
Therefore, she gradually became a marginalized person in Feitianxia Media and became dispensable.
It is said that Qin Shu's executive agent, who had been following her before, had several disputes with Qin Shu because of this matter, and finally resigned and went to another company.
According to Lin Xiaoxiao’s words: “She is a bit of a literary person with a sense of pride in her bones. She can obviously do many things well, but she just doesn’t do them because of the strange ideas in her mind. So over time,
That’s how it became.
Alas, this may be what people often say: character determines destiny. If she continues like this, she can eat this food, but it will not be interesting to eat. Looking at her situation in the past two years, I guess I have it too.
The thought of retreating.
But she is a good person, but she doesn’t have much to do. If you follow her, just treat it as a bit of exercise and do your best!"
Lin Xiaoxiao said that the company is already preparing a new executive agent for Qin Shu. Qiu Ming is just filling in the gap and will come back to take charge of Zhuo Lan when the time comes.
After all, Qiu Ming and Zhuo Lan have achieved very good results. Under normal circumstances, the company will not break up this kind of combination that has already done well, so as not to mess things up for no reason.
The company agreed on a month for Qiu Ming to follow Qin Shu. Qiu Ming had no objections, but Zhuo Lan was unhappy after hearing the news.
It was Qiu Ming who did the work for Zhuo Lan. Zhuo Lan thought it was a good thing that Qiu Ming could be "promoted" and he couldn't hold him back, so he agreed.
Xu Jinrong said: "I have a complete set of information about Sister Qin Shu here, including some of her previous albums and photo albums, as well as posters. I will bring them to you when the time comes, so you can take a look."
"ah?"
Qiu Ming was a little startled.
He had already started downloading Qin Shu's songs to listen to, but they were all downloaded from the Internet.
Nowadays, everything is digital, including albums, photos, posters, etc. It really feels a bit chronological.
Xu Jingrong explained: "I used to be a fan of Sister Qin Shu, and I liked her songs the most, so I have all her stuff."
Qiu Ming thought about it and suddenly felt a little enlightened.
Although he has never met Qin Shu in person, according to Lin Xiaoxiao's description of Qin Shu's temperament, he does look a bit like Xu Jinrong. They are both literary youths and very arrogant at heart.
No wonder Xu Jinrong likes Qin Shu.
If Qin Shu's temper is similar to Xu Jinrong's, then Qiu Ming feels that he knows how to get along with him.
I wonder if Qin Shu is the same as Xu Jingrong, who looks cold at ordinary times but is a talkative person in private?
…
In the practice room amid the clouds of fresh fruits.
The seven girls from T9 are working hard to practice the singing and choreography of "Drunken Queen".
This is the first time they have reunited since Jin Ying'er's incident, and they cherish this opportunity in their hearts.
Therefore, during the past few days of practice, they raced against time and were not willing to waste any time.
However, the human body always has its limits. After singing and dancing to another whole song, they were all so tired that they collapsed on the ground and didn't even want to move their fingers.
Xu Yuan, who had always been known as the little fat girl in the group, lay directly on the ground, motionless like a salted fish.
Chu Xiaoling kicked Xianyu with his foot and said: "You were slow in a few beats just now. Pay attention next time!"
"I know, I know, I promise I won't be slow when I officially take the stage... I'm just too tired today."
Xu Yuan answered weakly.
Tuo Xiaoling refused to give up: "You have to do it well when you practice, so that you won't make mistakes when you go on stage. If you think of being casual without going on stage, that won't work!"
Xu Yuan weakly turned her head to look at Chu Xiaoling, then turned to the others and said, "You all come and take a look at her. The way she is fierce to me now is exactly the same as Sister Linguang before. I can't help but resemble her."
Qu Qingcheng couldn't help but laugh: "She is much more fierce than Sister Linguang, just like a tigress."
"Tigress, oh, you made me laugh so hard, hahaha..."
Zhang Tingxiang was inexplicably struck by the point of laughter, and immediately fell to the ground laughing.
"What's so funny? Are you crazy?"
Chu Xiaoling glared at Zhang Tingxiang, then turned to Qu Qingcheng and bared his teeth: "Do you dare to say that again, do you believe I will bite you?"
"Wow, what a tigress! She wants to bite me!"
