Chapter 57 Life always catches you off guard(1/2)
It has been half a month since Chi Nuo signed as a trainee of Rubik's Cube Media. She has worked really hard since signing the contract.
I come to the singing room before 7 o'clock every day, sing my voice, practice breathing, and practice vocalization. During the day, I learn music and dance from professional teachers. I cram in some basic knowledge when I have time. When I go back at night, I endure the exhaustion and take out a lot of it.
Time for self-study.
Every day seemed to be a repetitive cycle, full and busy. Even though she was tired, she enjoyed it at the beginning.
After the initial novelty faded away and he gradually became familiar with everything around him, Chi Nuo discovered that reality was far from as beautiful as he had imagined.
In Rubik's Cube Media, there are eleven trainees like her, seven girls and four boys. She is the latest among these eleven to sign the contract, only half a month later, and the one who came earliest.
The girls are almost ten months old.
These eleven people study together every day. Compared with the other ten people, she can obviously find that her skills are the worst. Although the teacher is conscientious and conscientious, the progress of the course has been planned in advance, and it is impossible for the teacher to do it for her.
She answered the questions alone.
There is fierce competition among the trainees, and the solid basic skills cannot be faked. Chi Nuo can only grit his teeth and work hard to catch up; even so, facing the gap that cannot be bridged in a short time, Chi Nuo still feels powerless and frustrated.
.
In the words of these veteran trainees, Chi Nuo understood many things: for example, each trainee only has one year, and if he cannot stand out in this short period of one year, the only outcome is to be eliminated; for example,
The pressure of competition is not only within the company, they also have to compete with newcomers from other companies for precious debut opportunities; for example, the probability of a trainee getting ahead is very small, and there is a high probability that all 11 of them will be wiped out; for another example...
…
The cruel reality poured cold water on Chi Nuo. The feeling of powerlessness and frustration made her confused. She no longer had the excitement and joy when she signed the contract. Instead, she felt that no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to do it.
The first day.
Years ago, Xiao Yuxuan gave her another possibility, a chance to be helped by Yu Anzhen, but she gave up because she couldn't bear the long wait.
Even though she gave up this opportunity, Chi Nuo still paid close attention to Yu Anzhen's activities. During this period, Yu Anzhen was in deep trouble. She was secretly glad for her choice.
She knew the news about the press conference, but she was busy studying during the day and had no time. After going back in the evening, Chi Nuo specifically looked for the video of the press conference online.
She is envious of Yu Anzhen's huge popularity; she is envious of Yu Anzhen's new album being released soon; she is also envious of Yu Anzhen being slandered and slandered by the entertainment media, because she is not even qualified to be paid attention to by the entertainment media.
In addition to envy, Chi Nuo also felt a little unbalanced: Xiao Yuxuan only gave himself two songs, but devoted himself to creating a new album of twenty songs for Yu Anzhen. Not only that, the popular TV series "Love Has Thousands of Tribulations"
"There seems to be one of the ending songs sung by Yu Anzhen.
Oh, by the way, the two new songs just released by Yu Anzhen were also composed by Xiao Yuxuan.
Why? Why?
Chinuo only learned about the two new songs when watching the video, so he couldn't help but search for them on the music platform immediately.
It took almost no effort to see the results, because Yu Anzhen's name was clearly listed in the singer column behind the two songs ranked eighth and tenth on Huayun Music's monthly new song list.
After listening to them separately, Chi Nuo discovered that both songs were choruses. Both songs were very nice, and the lyrics and music were of a high standard. The popularity can be seen from the rankings on the new song charts.
In addition to Yu Anzhen, the other name of the singer is Chen Yumo.
Chen Yumo?
Chi Nuo thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have any impression of this name. There was no matching information about a singer with this name on the Internet. It was obvious that this Chen Yumo was also a pure newcomer.
Out of jealousy of Chen Yumo, Chi Nuo was also a little dissatisfied with Xiao Yuxuan: Didn't Yu Anzhen have to wait at least half a year for a chance? How come Yu Anzhen brought a new person less than a month after the new year? What if?
Let’s make it clear in advance. Could it be that I can’t even wait for this month?
This opportunity should have been yours!
Chi Nuo only knew that Xiao Yuxuan had a sister, but he never asked him what her sister's name was, and he didn't know that Xiao Yuxuan took his mother's surname of Xiao.
Anyway, in her opinion, it was Chen Yumo who stole her opportunity!
That night, Chi Nuo suffered from insomnia. She was very tired but couldn't fall asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she seemed to see her name replacing Chen Yumo. She was in a complicated mood and didn't fall asleep until late at night.
Because he didn't have a good rest, Chi Nuo had two panda eyes and was not very energetic the next day. He made frequent mistakes during dance practice in the morning and was criticized by the teacher.
He didn't even eat lunch, and Chi Nuo just wanted to seize the lunch break and catch up on some sleep.
When I came to the special lounge, I just closed my eyes when a staff member came in and hurriedly said: "Don't sleep now. Mr. Zhao from the Artist Business Center is waiting for you in the office and wants you to go there quickly!"
"
He quickly got up and washed his face. Apart from being a little depressed, Chi Nuo looked in the mirror in good condition. He didn't bother to touch up his makeup and hurried to the office of Zhao Haisheng, the company's vice president.
"Mr. Zhao, are you looking for me?" Chi Nuo said hello with a sweet smile as he closed the door.
Zhao Haisheng pointed to the chair on the other side of the desk and said: "Oh, Chi Nuo, you're here, sit down wherever you want! Your face is a little pale, what, are you feeling unwell?"
Chi Nuo touched his face and explained with a smile: "Maybe it's because I slept late reading a book last night and didn't get a good rest."
"Well, hard work is necessary, but you should also pay attention to rest. After all, your body comes first."
After sitting down, Chi Nuo responded: "Only when I came to the company did I realize that the knowledge I learned in school was not enough, so I had to work harder to make up for the shortcomings. Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your concern. I will pay attention to it in the future."
Zhao Haisheng did not say more on this topic, but instead said: "I shouldn't have taken up your lunch break, but the meeting has just ended all morning, so please understand. I'm here to talk to you. I have something to talk to you about.
To communicate, I’ll keep the story short.”
"Mr. Zhao, do you have any instructions?"
Zhao Haisheng waved his hands with a smile and said: "Don't always be yours. This is not the first time we have dealt with each other. Don't be so polite! The first thing is that the company plans to set up a girl group in the near future. The name is temporary.
It is decided to be called Mitsuhide Girls Group. The members are still being inspected and selected, and you trainees are also within the scope of inspection.
I have had preliminary exchanges with some people. Although you have many shortcomings, you also have your own advantages. For example, you have a good image and your voice has its own characteristics. Therefore, I plan to make a recommendation to you.
The reason I tell you this news in advance is that I want you to not be arrogant or impetuous in the future, and to polish yourself and improve yourself. It would be a pity to miss such a good opportunity!"
Happiness came so suddenly. Chi Nuo was so surprised that he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, thank you, Mr. Zhao! I will definitely perform well and try to seize this opportunity and not let you down!"
"Sit down, sit down and talk! I told you not to be so polite! Of course, don't be too happy too early. As I said just now, you do have a great chance, but the key to whether you can be selected in the end is your own performance!"
Chi Nuo's face turned red, he suppressed his excitement, nodded repeatedly and sat down again.
"The second thing I want to tell you is this." Zhao Haisheng played with the signature pen in his hand and said: "The release plan for Fang Jiaying's new album has been finalized, and it will be next month. The company has no intention of releasing this album.
I value it very much and plan to make great efforts to promote it.
However, the new album is still missing one song, because it’s the end of the month and I really can’t come up with any songs in a short period of time.
It just so happens that you have a good song in your hand, and Fang Jiaying wants to discuss with you whether you can give her the song first, and then she can return it to you when she has a suitable song.
My personal view on this matter is that Fang Jiaying is your senior and a popular star that the company devotes a lot of resources to promoting. Agreeing to this matter will be of great benefit to your development in the company.
Therefore, I will communicate with you on her behalf and listen to your opinions."
Chi Nuo's face turned from rosy just now to pale again, and the more she listened, the more chilled she became.
He said that he wanted to discuss with himself and listen to his opinion, but the vice president of the company came forward to make the request. What is the difference between this and robbery?
If you agree, it will be good for your development, but if you refuse, will it be very harmful?
It sounds nice to say that when you have a suitable work, you can return it to yourself, but what kind of work is called a suitable work? Can the quality be guaranteed? When will it be returned?
How is this different from beating a dog with a meat bun?
Just now, I was told that I had a chance to be selected into a girl group, and now I want to steal my song. What is this? An exchange?
Even if it is an exchange, is it fair?
Being selected into a girl group was just an unfounded possibility, and I didn't even have a single character, but I really wanted to give away a song that I liked so much!
Chi Nuo didn't dare to think about what kind of situation she would be in if she refused on the spot, but she really didn't want to agree, so she swallowed and said: "Zhao...Mr. Zhao, Teacher Gu is arranging that song, and he promised me to say
After the arrangement is completed, let me release it as a single. Moreover, the arrangement is still in progress. Sister Fang’s new album will be released soon, so it’s too late, right?”
"I will greet Teacher Gu and coordinate with several experienced teachers to join in the arrangement work, so the time can be guaranteed.
Don't worry, since it's me who comes to communicate with you, I will definitely keep things straight. Fang Jiaying lent you this song, and she will give you back a song that will satisfy you in the future. I will guarantee this.
So, now it’s up to you whether you agree with Fang Jiaying’s proposal or not.”
Looking at Mr. Zhao's smiling face again, Chi Nuo felt that he looked disgusting. Even though the situation was stronger than others, she still wanted to make the final struggle.
"Mr. Zhao, it's like this. That song was written for me by my friend Xiao Yuxuan. Out of respect, I have to ask his opinion before making a decision."
Zhao Haisheng actually nodded in agreement: "Well, this is deserved!"
Chi Nuo breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to stay any longer. She stood up and prepared to leave: "Mr. Zhao, after asking my friends, I will give you an answer later. If nothing happens, I will leave first."
Zhao Haisheng stopped Chi Nuo and signaled: "Wait a minute, Chi Nuo, don't leave in a hurry. Sit down, sit down first."
Chi Nuo had no choice but to stay, feeling as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
"You mentioned Xiao Yuxuan just now. I want to ask one more question: If our Rubik's Cube Media invites him to join, and you are friends with him, do you think Xiao Yuxuan will agree?"
This question opened up a new idea for Chi Nuo: If Xiao Yuxuan can join Rubik's Cube Media, it will definitely be good for him! With his talent, he will definitely be reused, then does he have a backer? After all, first come first, first come first.
The moon!
Chi Nuo shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhao, although I have a good relationship with Xiao Yuxuan, I can't answer this question well. However, if the company intends to invite him to join, I will do my best to persuade him."
Zhao Haisheng nodded when he heard this. Chi Nuo's answer did not surprise him and should be consistent with the truth.
If Chi Nuo took over everything and promised that everything would be fine, Zhao Haisheng wouldn't believe it at all.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Haisheng said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit it! In this case, Chi Nuo, call Xiao Yuxuan now! Just ask him if he has time in the afternoon. I want to make an appointment with him to talk about some important things.
To be continued...
