Chapter 124: Behind the Scenes

Chen Ziyan and He Heng sat in the last row of this conference room.

Both of them were agents and had known each other for a long time. Back then, He Heng was able to bring Jiang Yuqian to the position of a first-tier female star, and Chen Ziyan helped a lot. The relationship between the two was very good.

It's just that as agents, their faces were rarely familiar to these young artists in the company. After all, they rarely met, and when they did, they wouldn't notice their appearance.

"The aesthetics of these young people signed by the company are still the same as before. Are they all going to debut as boy groups?" Chen Ziyan recalled the faces she had seen all afternoon. "Out of over a hundred people, the ones who left a better impression on me are still the few kids who debuted three years ago."

"Those few people were idols who were truly compared out. Later, the talent shows were canceled, and they all became trainees." He Heng said with regret. "But they were not very lucky. After debut, their popularity started to go downhill. There is no stage for boy groups in China, and it is difficult to maintain attention. These kids were very young and had no opportunity to act. A year ago, MX appeared out of nowhere, and Feng Zhi became even more depressed."

Chen Ziyan: "MX is a standard boy group style. Is there a market?"

"Now online variety shows and music festivals are doing much better than three years ago. Three years ago, when Feng Zhi debuted, there weren't many stages, but MX had mature stages and programs to maintain exposure and increase popularity as soon as they debuted." He Heng said. "Time and fate."

"Not necessarily. The few kids in Feng Zhi all have some qualities. As long as they are grasped properly, it's not impossible for them to become popular, especially their audition today. They have never learned acting, but they all acted quite well, especially the last one, named Lu Yanhe, right?"

Chen Ziyan's gaze fell on the boy who was lowering his head and reading on the front right.

"To tell you the truth, the role for this audition was originally recommended by Yuqian to Luo Dao, but later, Vice Ma Zong and Zhou Ping'an communicated with Luo Dao, and it became this kind of open audition today." He Heng sighed again with regret. "I don't know how this kid offended them."

Chen Ziyan nodded and said nothing more.

"Sister Yan, are you really prepared to manage a few more people this time?"

"Hmm." Chen Ziyan nodded. "Took a half-year break, was also idle, felt bored."

"I don't know which newcomer can be so lucky to get your favor." He Heng laughed and said.

Dozens of people waited until 6:30 PM before Zhou Ping'an came over.

"Everyone disperse. The results won't be announced on the spot today."

For a time, indignation arose.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Yeah, we waited here all afternoon."

"Made us wait so long for nothing!"

Zhou Ping'an was too lazy to care about the complaints of these young people and left as soon as he finished speaking.

Li Zhibai cursed, got up, and said: "Let's go, why are you still sitting here."

Lu Yanhe put away his book.

"Eat dinner together before going back?" Li Zhibai suggested.

Cheng Hai shook his head: "I have an appointment tonight, not eating with you guys."

"Yo, who did you make an appointment with? A girl?" Li Zhibai asked immediately.

Cheng Hai said helplessly: "Don't talk nonsense, don't let Zhou Ping'an hear it, it'll be a bunch of trouble again."

Cheng Hai left, Tu Song wasn't there, and only the three of them were left.

Li Zhibai drove them directly to a restaurant.

But it happened to be the evening rush hour, and the car was stuck on the road, which was depressing.

Li Zhibai tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, the tapping sound ringing continuously with a certain rhythm.

"However, why were there no results on the spot?" Li Zhibai asked suddenly.

Yan Liang shook his head. "Don't know, maybe there was no unified opinion."

"What unified opinion could there be? Isn't this matter decided by Luo Dao?" Li Zhibai said. "And, looking at the performance on the scene today, is there anyone who could be better than Old Lu?"

Yan Liang looked at Lu Yanhe, hesitated, and asked: "Could it be that Brother Ping'an obstructed it in the middle?"

"He doesn't have the ability to obstruct Luo Dao. He is bossy in front of us, but he is just a small agent in front of Luo Dao." Li Zhibai said.

Lu Yanhe looked at the stagnant traffic outside the car window and said: "Who knows what's going on? Don't guess blindly. Anyway, if there are no results today, they will come out in two days."

"Luo Dao, thank you for your hard work today."

Vice Ma Zong accompanied Luo Yuzhong to stand up with a smiling face. "We have booked a private room near the company. How about having a casual meal together?"

Luo Yuzhong waved his hand and said: "Auditioned for an afternoon, it's exhausting. I'm old, and my energy is not as good as before. Let's not eat. Ma Zong, let me go back to rest first. We will gather again when we have time."

Vice Ma Zong sighed and said: "It's precisely because I consider you exhausting and hard-working that after dinner, there is a massage and foot bath. The shop does it as a masterpiece. You worked hard to give our kids so many valuable opinions, we can't let you go back so tired. That would be us being ignorant."

Luo Yuzhong looked back at Jiang Yuqian.

Jiang Yuqian understood and smiled slightly, saying: "Ma Zong, Luo Dao's wife has urged him several times, asking when he will go back. Luo Dao is embarrassed to say."

"Oh? So it's your wife urging you to go home?" Vice Ma Zong said with a smile immediately. "Where is your home? I will arrange a car immediately to pick up your wife and have dinner together."

Luo Yuzhong: "Alright, Ma Zong, thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it, but it's really inconvenient today. There will definitely be an opportunity to gather next time."

He patted the back of Vice Ma Zong's hand. "You worked hard today too, rest early, I'm leaving first."

Vice Ma Zong still wanted to keep him, but Jiang Yuqian blocked him quietly, sighed, and said: "Alright, Ma Zong, Luo Dao is really tired today, don't force him. There will be plenty of opportunities to eat together later. I'll go send Luo Dao off first."

After speaking, Jiang Yuqian quickly caught up with Luo Yuzhong.

She accompanied Luo Yuzhong into the elevator.

In the elevator, there were only them and their assistants.

Luo Yuzhong sighed and said: "Your Ma Zong is really difficult to deal with."

"He relies on this set to sit in his current position." Jiang Yuqian asked: "Director, are you satisfied today?"

Luo Yuzhong laughed twice and said: "You little girl, didn't you see it? Still need to ask?"

Jiang Yuqian said: "Isn't this worrying that your requirements are too high? I'm not even sure about auditioning for your play, let alone them auditioning."

"Heh, then you must not say that." Luo Yuzhong said with a smile. "People around me are very happy that you are starring."

"No, it's only when I act in your play that I can finally act in a play that is both acclaimed and popular." Jiang Yuqian said with a smile. ===== CHAPTER 125 =====
