[ A Certain Xia Who Wants to Retire: I was just overwhelmed by all the different fragrances, but you smell the best.]
[C: You can wear my clothes next time you go out.]
[ Xia Zhiyi, who wants to retire: Sure, I'll try it next time.]
The two have different body types. Although Xia Zhiyi to various treatments, she is still shorter than Fu Chi.
Although Xia Zhiyi had some methods to make himself grow a little taller, he originally thought 1.8 meters was enough, and the remaining two centimeters were due to excessive growth.
The key point is that if he gets any higher, it will actually affect the scripts he can accept.
This resulted in Xia Zhiyi and Fu Chi wearing slightly different clothes.
However, this was no big deal for Xia Zhiyi.
" Xia Zhiyi," Xu Chen called out from behind.
Xia Zhiyi turned around. " Sister Chen, are you done with your work?"
Xu Chen moved his business notebook aside, leaned back, and slowly exhaled. "Pretty much. It's that variety show Fu Yunyi is a regular on. The originally booked guests have been cancelled. See if you're interested in filling in."
Xia Zhiyi: "... If I remember correctly, he's only a regular guest on one variety show, right?"
Xu Chen looked at him and nodded, "Yes, it's the one you're thinking of."
Xia Zhiyi: "... But I'm an actress."
Xu Chen: "You don't need to worry about that. The one who's missing now is the dance instructor. You shouldn't have any problems, right?"
Xia Zhiyi: "... What did Fu Yunyi say?"
He said he just wanted to finish the show properly and didn't want any more trouble or problems to interfere with his work.
"Oh, by the way, Fu Yunyi's been having a blast as a mentor at the base lately, I guess he's gotten carried away."
The variety show that Xu Chen mentioned is actually a talent show, and it's a talent show that's almost entirely broadcast live. The reason I say "almost" is because the production team isn't that crazy; the contestants' rest and washing time isn't broadcast live.
However, cameras in public places are always on at night, which led to some contestants practicing dance all night in the dance studio when the first season started, whether for show or because they were really working hard.
Well, then, due to lack of energy, I was distracted during training during the day and unfortunately broke my arm, forcing me to withdraw from the show's recording.
Live-streaming variety shows have developed well in Xia Country over the past three years, especially after the government began to regulate live-streaming content to a certain extent.
Well, how should I put it? When Xia Zhiyi first saw someone livestreaming their attempts to have a baby, she was a little shocked—some people really will stop at nothing to make money!
Then he was arrested.
Then the live streaming was shut down.
However, this does not affect the development of the live streaming industry. To date, not only are various live streaming platforms booming, but there are also many live streaming variety shows.
However, compared to the general public who broadcast live on live streaming platforms, live variety shows are still subject to certain restrictions. If someone makes a mistake on a live variety show, it's not just a matter of damaging their personal image; in severe cases, their career could be ruined.
Live-streamed talent shows, live-streamed farming, live-streamed travel, and so on—currently, the most popular are parent-child variety shows, while dating variety shows are the most difficult to judge.
Well, the second most difficult to evaluate are talent shows.
Because this stuff comes in all shapes and sizes.
The show " Boy Band, Debut!" which Fu Yunyi participated in is currently the best-rated. The first season had a tendency to deliberately hype up the show and create drama to attract viewers, but the atmosphere changed after the head of the second season was changed.
The first season, ostensibly a talent show, was actually all about showmanship, comparisons, and feuds. As long as you could get screen time and traffic, being famous or not didn't matter!
In the second season, the mentors relied entirely on their abilities, and their comments on the contestants were based solely on their skills. So-called "playing the victim," "studying hard," or "writing long essays" were all useless!
You said you haven't slept for days in preparation for the performance, staying up all night practicing the dance—have you practiced well enough? If you haven't, then your practice was ineffective. Why don't you reflect on that? Did you practice while others didn't?
You said you worked so hard since childhood to debut, to pursue your dreams, and despite your family's difficulties, you persevered and came here—have you even trained? If you've trained and your skills aren't up to par, shouldn't you consider whether this career path isn't for you?
You said your teammate is actually great, and you really can't bear to see them eliminated, so you hope the mentor can give them another chance—how about you two switch places? You give your spot to your teammate, okay?
play?
Keep acting, and see if the production team buys into it.
capital?
The biggest investor in the program is Fu Chi, the head of Hangu Group. No company in the entertainment industry can compare to him in terms of capital.
public opinion?
Well, the online trolls are practically starving these days, so manipulating public opinion isn't going to be that easy.
It's important to know that because of Xia Zhiyi's actions, those foreign forces that had been secretly trying to brainwash the people of Xia Country through the internet in the past two years have all been exposed one after another.
With the success of the unconventional approach in the second season, the third season was also highly anticipated when it premiered.
Because Fu Chi invested in the company's name this time, the program tried to invite Fu Yunyi, who won the Best Actor award earlier this year. After learning that he was a celebrity mentor, Fu Yunyi agreed.
Of course, Fu Chi invested in this program mainly to promote the company's products and, incidentally, expand his influence in the entertainment industry, since his wife works in that field.
Perhaps this is why the style of the second season is completely different from that of the first season.
Whether Fu Chi's investment in this program was related to that dream is unknown.
Xia Zhiyi about the show, but he had never thought that it had anything to do with him.
Xia Zhiyi: "Can't you find a suitable dance instructor? I know martial arts, but in dance, does sword dance count?"
I don't know that kind of Boy Band dance.
Although the popular dances these days aren't very difficult for him, he can learn them with a little practice.
Xu Chen: "If you participate, I can make you a martial arts instructor."
Xia Zhiyi: "... They're doing Boy Band audition, right?"
Xu Chen shrugged. "Anyway, the higher-ups have been vigorously promoting the inheritance of Chinese martial arts these past few years, so the program team won't mind."
Are you serious?
Xu Chen: "I was just kidding."
"Ha ha."
Xia Zhiyi: "... If Fu Yunyi can't find a suitable person, then you can talk to me again."
He's my nephew after all, and he doesn't have much to do lately anyway, so it's fine for him to join in the fun.
Xu Chen gave an OK sign.
Three days later, Xia Zhiyi received the result that she had passed the audition for the role. After telling Xu Chen, she received a call from the production team saying that the drama was expected to start filming after the Dragon Boat Festival, but all the actors had to join the crew in advance for training before then.
Xia Zhiyi: "Etiquette training? No need, I know how."
