Chapter 1389 The cruel truth
After singing the song "Follow Me", Jin Siqi ignored the upcoming schedule and went directly back to the dormitory to pack her luggage.
"Siqi, are you leaving now? The game isn't over yet." At some point, a soft voice came from the door. Jin Siqi turned around and saw Tao Keyi leaning against the door frame, meaning
He looked at her unclearly.
Maybe she came here specifically to see the plight of a loser, but this time she was going to be disappointed.
"No need to wait. I'm going to be eliminated anyway. Instead of waiting for others to drive me away, I might as well just pack up and leave early." Jin Siqi's tone was brisk, completely different from the previous state of being anxious for promotion, "Ke Yi
, does the previous agreement still count? When you get the role of the female lead, I will join you and play a small role!"
Tao Keyi frowned, as if she was a little surprised and dissatisfied because the situation did not unfold as she expected. After a long pause, she asked tentatively: "Are you really not going to stay for a few more days?
It will take some time for the tutors to settle the results, maybe a miracle will happen?"
Jin Siqi shook his head and smiled: "I had already planned to give an explanation for the training during this period after participating in this competition, and then apply to the program team to withdraw from the competition regardless of the result. This seat should not belong to
Mine was obtained by hurting others, so I should give it back to someone who is more qualified to own it."
"It's you," she temporarily stopped arranging her clothes and looked straight at Tao Keyi. "With your strength, if you compete well, you can get a good ranking. Why do you have to hurt so many people?"
Ways to improve yourself?”
Tao Keyi blurted out: "Because there can only be one winner! In a large-scale competition, only the first place is the only winner. Apart from that, the second place and the third place are all winners."
They are losers! Is it because they are not strong enough? Is it because they do not work hard enough? None! Just because they failed to grab the first place, they can only be eliminated! You will understand this truth one day!"
"No, with your IQ... it wouldn't be surprising even if you still can't understand it." Her expression suddenly became a little strange, and in her eyes, which were always covered with false smiles, a layer of mist and hatred rose.
, unwillingness, are all intertwined in it, "Because you have no strength, so you naively think that with strength, everything will be different... This is the sadness of the frog in the well, no, it is also a kind of luck..."
After smiling absentmindedly for a moment, she turned around and closed the door, took out the jade slip and pressed it a few times to bring up an encyclopedia interface, then pushed the screen in front of Jin Siqi.
"Before participating in this competition, I had been in this hundred-member women's team for several years. But, you and others, have you ever heard of my name in this women's team? Even if I am now specifically
I’m telling you, if you look at this photo again, can you find where I am?”
Jin Siqi looked at the encyclopedia introduction in front of her. It is indeed one of the most popular women's teams in the contemporary era. Anyone who pays a little attention to entertainment news will have heard about it. But when it comes to who is in the team...except for a few who are more famous.
Apart from those with the best development, she had never even heard of the names of the others.
Looking at the group photo in the entry directory, a group of girls of similar age and figure were mixed together, wearing the same team uniform, making their appearance lose their original recognition. Not to mention finding Tao Keyi,
She can hardly tell the difference between these people! She is about to suffer from prosopagnosia!
"Sure enough..." Tao Keyi observed her expression, and finally sneered after a while, "Can't you find it? Yes, let alone you, sometimes even I can't find it myself..."
"You think I'm going smoothly in this competition and everything is easy, but you don't know that my starting point is more difficult than you! My family has always been against me taking this path. They think it's too much to show up and perform.
After all, they are inferior people. They hope that I can find a decent job, ordinary but practical, so that they can introduce me to the neighbors with their heads held high... But, that is not what I want!"
"I don't know how many conflicts I had with them over this matter! Finally, they finally agreed to give in and let me participate in a trainee activity of a big company... But they said, unless I can get the first place in the competition,
It proves that I have the strength to take this path, otherwise, I will have to give up my dream and do the job they assigned me honestly!"
"At that time, I was naive and really thought that this would be an opportunity to seize my destiny... Therefore, even if there were tens of thousands of competitors at the same time, I was never timid because I believed that I was capable!"
"Do you think I haven't worked hard? During that time, all of us were crowded into dormitories that were much simpler than now. No one recorded programs for you, and there was no network to promote you. The only sweat we shed was ourselves.
Only then can I see it!”
"In order to get the first place, I worked hard every day from dawn to dusk, practiced hard, and studied hard. I developed a lot of problems at a young age! Fortunately, every time I went to team practice, I was able to confirm that I was very good in the team.
This makes me feel that my efforts are valuable. To use a current saying, it means 'the future is promising'."
"After going through one game after another, I finally made my debut as a trainee, was selected as a member of the women's team, and signed a contract with the company... I remember that Feng Yin also took this path at the beginning, right?
, it’s just that she never had the chance to sign a contract and debut, so she was delayed as a trainee for so many years. So, it seems that my luck is better than hers. However, everyone has their own sadness."
"At the beginning, although a few key promotion matches made me aware of something shady... the people who got good rankings were not as good at dancing as me! But at that time I didn't think much about it. I thought that since I succeeded
As a member of a girl group, sooner or later I can use my strength to make everyone remember me!"
"And what is the result? Except for the few girls who got the rankings and were highly praised by the company... the rest of us have become tools created on the same assembly line! We wear the same training clothes,
With the same hairstyle and no personal characteristics, even if we form a group to perform, we only have the purpose of being a background board!"
"Just because everyone knows it's unfair... rumors have gradually begun to spread in the team. It is said that those girls are either relatives of the organizer, or there are financial backers behind them, or they have mines at home, and they have nothing to do with it.
Except for the exception, there is a backstage, the rankings of all competitions have been pre-determined, and the rest of us are just responsible for accompanying the runners! Responsible for handing over the winner's crown to others!"
"For the sake of fairness on the surface, the women's team will still hold some competitions from time to time. It is said to encourage everyone to train hard, to make the hard work go up, and to make the slack down... Only by climbing to the top can you have the opportunity to show your face in front of the public.
! I am also the stupidest in my stupidity. I still refused to give up and participated in the competition, but I was slapped a series of times by reality!"
"The trainee mode and promotion competitions are all just formalities...the decision-making power is completely in the hands of the organizers, whoever they want to advance can be promoted. They put the people they want to promote into this competition.
, and then let them get a good ranking and get gilded, and after they have gained initial fame, they can legitimately make their debut and make money... Ha, it was then that I realized that the classes in this world have been fixed for a long time. I was delusional.
Those who turn over only through 'hard work' are the biggest fools!"
"The company just wants to build a loud enough brand, bring all of us together to form a brand, and let our strengths be used for him... But what about the personal development of our members? What is our way out? They have never considered it.
Passed!"
"I went to the program team... I went to protest. The staff actually told me that they only train people with commercial value... If I can make myself popular, they can tilt the company's resources towards me...
But if they don’t support me, how can I make myself popular? Isn’t this a joke?”
"What's even worse is that we originally signed a long-term contract with the company... During the contract period, we are not allowed to participate in other competitions at will, nor can we withdraw from the team, otherwise it will be a breach of contract and we will need to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.
How can we have the money to compensate? So we can only obey the team's arrangements honestly... Even if our treatment at the time is no different from being hidden in the snow!"
"Can you imagine how desperate I was at that time? According to the contract, I have to stay in the girl group at least until I am thirty... At thirty, a girl's best age has passed! Even if I go solo
What future is there? When we first signed the contract, we thought we were getting a long-term guarantee, but who knew we were signing a contract of sale! The names we signed with our own hands were enough to completely destroy our dreams!"
Listening to her almost crazy narration, Jin Siqi was also secretly surprised. She didn't expect that Tao Keyi, whom she regarded as a "winner in life," actually had such a dark past.
"Then...how did you deal with it later?" Although she knew that Tao Keyi's participation in this competition must have successfully terminated her contract with the original company, listening to her narration and empathizing with her, actually made Jin Siqi also join in for her.
anxiety about fate.
"Later..." Tao Keyi repeated the word with a wry smile, and her body trembled uncontrollably, "Later...I met a godfather at a business banquet, and everything that was supposed to happen happened. Then...
, he helped me settle the liquidated damages, so that I could finally regain my freedom..."
"That was the first time I knew that money could come so easily. It turned out that problems that seemed extremely difficult to me could be solved in this way... It turned out that this is what it feels like to have a sponsor..."
At this point, her eyes were already vaguely red. She took a deep breath and looked away, trying her best to hold back tears.
"When I was a child, I didn't like my face. Some people always said that I looked too beautiful and that I was not the type to endure hardship... I also hated that sometimes when I walked on the street, I would always be looked at with lewd looks.
Looking at it... But that day, I suddenly felt lucky to have this face. It can help me get what I want..."
"When I finally got my wish to go solo, I knew that those partners who worked hard and complained with me in the past did not have pretty enough faces, so they could only continue to hang out in the girl group and continue to be contracted.
Restraint, delaying my youth... However, I have no contact with them anymore, and I also know what they are talking about me behind their backs. I have also become a person with financial backers, and I have become the kind of person we once hated the most.
.”
For a moment, Jin Siqi was speechless.
When she was browsing the forum, she did see Tao Keyi's post, which mentioned this "godfather joke". She didn't take it seriously at the time, but now it seems... there is nothing going on in the circle, it's all just making up rumors.
Ah. I'm afraid this secret was revealed anonymously by the members of the girl group who were jealous of her in the past.
"You are also looking down on me, right?" Tao Keyi sensitively noticed the change in Jin Siqi's eyes, "Then I would like to ask you, what would you do if you were in my original position? Do you accept your fate?
? Are you willing to be a pawn of the girl group, or are you still working hard to make progress and pretending that hard work will really be useful? "
"After experiencing previous lessons, I have become smarter. I know that what these entertainment companies value is just the popularity of artists, which can help them make enough money! So this time I participated in the competition, I grabbed it
I took every opportunity to make myself famous. After dancing with you, I asked my godfather to help me buy trending searches, so that I could directly enter the public eye. And later the MV guest appearance, all... you think
I got the popularity through luck, but in fact, it has never been driven by capital!"
"You actually bought all the hot searches in the early stage by yourself?" Jin Siqi was surprised, "I didn't even know! I... thought you just relied on your own hype...?"
"You don't know! There are so many things you don't know!" Tao Keyi sneered, "Do you think hot searches are so easy to get on? There are thousands of people hyping it up, so why am I the only one on the hot searches? The program has just finished
At the beginning, everyone was so transparent. Do you think the audience is so interested and would care about the past one by one? So I say you are really stupid!"
"The dance, comments, reposts, and hot searches were all bought! It just created the illusion of 'just becoming popular'! You still believe that being in the fashion industry can be completely separated from the operation of capital, just relying on
Can you get ahead with strength or luck? Every person you see who just happens to become famous is someone behind the scenes who spent money to support them!"
