The trainees have their phones confiscated during training, but they get to use them for half an hour every evening. Today's hot search topic made all the trainees who bore grudges against Xiang Yutang overjoyed.
Xiang Yutang was already facing a scandal before achieving fame and was being bashed!
Yesterday, Zhu Zhengchu had entrusted the staff to handle the person who took the secret photos with full confidence. Who would have thought that this staff member was so useless that the culprit got away. Today's hot search topic was: Xiang Yutang and Zhu Zhengchu.
The content released by marketing accounts was roughly that as a girl eager to debut, Xiang Yutang had acted coquettishly towards Zhu Zhengchu in the practice room. Zhu Zhengchu had looked helpless, and Xiang Yutang had been reluctant to leave in the end.
Xiang Yutang's face was blurred and unclear, but Zhu Zhengchu's face was clearly visible. Associated with the current top - tier celebrity, Zhu Zhengchu's fans frantically searched for information about Xiang Yutang. As a result, they found nothing. However, the fans still kept on lashing out.
"Really? She can just throw away her dignity to debut?"
"No need to be so desperate to be famous. Leave Zhu Zhu alone. He shines on his own."
Xiang Yutang was eating a lollipop while reading the negative comments. She inexplicably felt like laughing. "They haven't even seen me. How do they know I'm ugly?"
Zhuo Ziyu was extremely worried. "What on earth did you do yesterday? How come you got photographed today? Sigh..."
Xiang Yutang comforted her. "It's okay, okay. Negative popularity is still popularity. It's good to build up some popularity before the show starts."
Zhuo Ziyu had a gentle nature and couldn't bear to see these people speaking maliciously. She wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. "How can these people talk like this?"
"Hey, don't cry. It's me who's being bashed. Why are you crying?" Xiang Yutang quickly took out a tissue to wipe her tears and patted Zhuo Ziyu's little face. "Such a pretty girl. How can you cry like this?"
It would have been okay if she hadn't patted. But after this pat, the next day's hot search topic was about her again.
Xiang Yutang Bullying Her Roommate.
One had to admit that the media's ability to distort the truth was truly remarkable. They made it seem as if Xiang Yutang had really slapped Zhuo Ziyu instead of just a gentle pat on the face.
Xiang Yutang was in awe of the contemporary photo - editing techniques.
She was quite calm, but her agent wasn't. The agent immediately called to question her about what was going on.
Xiang Yutang calmly explained everything. Gu Jiacai told her not to act rashly and that the company would handle it. Xiang Yutang smiled. She hadn't planned to do much anyway.
After Zhu Zhengchu learned about this, he was also extremely troubled. This new trainee was outstanding, but she was really attracting hatred. So soon, a rival company had come out to target her.
"Boss, what should we do?" Gu Jiacai was waiting for Zhu Zhengchu's solution.
Zhu Zhengchu rubbed his temples. "What else can we do? Negative popularity is still popularity. Let their paid trolls keep bashing her for now to attract some attention. After the show starts, it depends on whether Xiang Yutang can attract a wave of fans on her own."
"What if she can't..."
"If she can't, we'll talk about it then. But I think with her performance, it shouldn't be difficult." There were quite a few people in talent shows who had turned fans from haters. Zhu Zhengchu inexplicably believed in Xiang Yutang.
Gu Jiacai had no choice but to follow his instructions. "Okay."
"Also, communicate with the program crew. Xiang Yutang is not allowed to sing. And you remember to warn Xiang Yutang more. She must not sing!" Just thinking about her singing made Zhu Zhengchu's head ache.
Gu Jiacai was completely confused. Not allowed to sing? How could there be a contestant in a talent show who didn't sing?
"Boss, how can we do this? No one doesn't sing. At least give her a few lines."
"Definitely don't give her any lines. Put her in the Chinese - style music group. Let her play the flute or the suona. Anyway, any musical instrument that can keep her mouth occupied will do." Zhu Zhengchu didn't want the reputation of his company to be ruined by Xiang Yutang.
Gu Jiacai was puzzled. Driven by curiosity, he specially went to Xiang Yutang's dormitory to listen to her sing.
After that, Gu Jiacai understood a truth: one must never be too curious!
The company remained inactive and didn't publicly announce that Xiang Yutang was already an artist under their banner. Xiang Yutang was also not panicked at all. She just practiced for the show when it was time to practice and had fun when it was time to have fun.
Gu Jiacai thought that apart from other things, this new trainee had a really calm mindset. If she really became famous in the future, she should be able to withstand great challenges.
The person who could withstand great challenges was currently in despair because the vegetables in her mobile game farm had been stolen.
"Damn it! Which shameless person has been stealing my vegetables every day! Fuck!"
Zhuo Ziyu quickly covered her mouth. "Tangtang! I've told you not to swear. If the program crew records you, it'll be over. Be good and don't swear."
After Xiang Yutang complained a few times, the program crew took away her phone again. She always wanted to sing when she was idle. Zhuo Ziyu could only desperately think of other things to divert her attention.
"In the future, you'll be an artist under Teacher Zhu. You have to listen to them. If they bully you, we'll terminate the contract. I'll pay the liquidated damages for you." Zhuo Ziyu was a hidden rich girl.
Xiang Yutang lazily lay on her lap. "Hey, since that time, Teacher Zhu hasn't come to me. I thought I could still sing for him."
Zhuo Ziyu was speechless. "Teacher Zhu is a well - known vocal teacher. One of his vocal lessons costs who knows how much." How could he have the time to listen to your caterwauling.
But for the sake of Xiang Yutang's feelings, Zhuo Ziyu didn't say the last sentence.
However, her words about "vocal teacher" made Xiang Yutang sit up. "Vocal teacher? Is he that amazing?"
"Of course. He's all - round, but singing is his strongest suit. When he was still an ordinary person, he became famous with just one song."
"But I've never heard his song."
Zhuo Ziyu was speechless again. "Of course you haven't. All you listen to are songs from the 1980s like 'Shaolin Kung Fu Is Great'. How could he still sing those?" Xiang Yutang wasn't good at singing, and she even liked to challenge old - fashioned songs. Those songs were already difficult to sing, and with Xiang Yutang's singing skills, it was simply unbearable.
"Is he really that amazing?" Xiang Yutang looked at Zhuo Ziyu expectantly.
Zhuo Ziyu suddenly had a bad feeling. "What do you want to do?"
Xiang Yutang happily jumped out of bed. "Then I'll go find him to learn singing. With his guidance and my artistic talent, I'm sure I'll quickly become famous all over the country!"
Zhuo Ziyu quickly grabbed her. "Um... Tangtang, how about we prepare for tomorrow's show recording instead?"
"I don't want to. I want to learn singing from him!" Xiang Yutang's beautiful little face glowed, as if she had already seen herself holding a microphone at a concert and becoming famous all over the country.
It didn't really matter whether she became famous or not. The main thing was being able to hold a concert! So many people listening to her sing. Just thinking about it made her excited!
