Chapter 573: Shining Glory

People really shouldn't chat; once they do, everyone has their own difficulties.

Before long, the Pink Girls group chat also saw several teammates responding to Jin Li; they were all busy running promotional schedules today and had no time to watch the new variety show.

Yu Lina recently took on a new drama, the very one Jin Li and the others had suggested—not following the idol drama route, but rather the "strong woman" route.

In the past, she was a female lead who lived wholeheartedly in pure-love idol dramas.

But now, she has to transform into a "sea queen," maneuvering between multiple men every day.

Because of the strong woman character setting, she faces countless temptations every day.

A simple and cute "milk dog," an aggressive "little wolf dog," a scheming and black-bellied colleague, a powerful and gentle, affectionate boss—all these men have intersected with the female lead.

After seeing the script settings, Yu Lina felt she couldn't quite hold it, so she specifically asked her manager: "Are you intentionally finding me such a restricted-level script?"

As it turned out, the manager said: "Actually, no. I just released a bit of news to the outside, and the production team for this drama came knocking on our door."

"Don't look at the script settings as if they are very restricted; the logical career arc within it is actually very complete, while the emotional arc is conversely a bit chaotic."

"Actually, I suggested to the director to change the script to 1V1, but the director refused, saying this is adapted from a novel and it needs that 'multiple male leads' flavor."

Because Yu Lina couldn't quite grasp it, she quietly shared the script with Jin Li and the others to look at.

Unexpectedly, it received unanimous praise from the others.

"Having grown accustomed to the pure-love dramas on the market, seeing one with such a heavy flavor occasionally is actually quite refreshing."

"Don't change this one. Moreover, the female lead is actually quite a fit for your image; otherwise, the production team wouldn't have come looking for you in the first place."

"Haven't you noticed that your debut experience is very similar to this female lead? We were all not favored by people, yet we debuted because we unexpectedly became popular."

Can a strong woman be a strong woman from the very beginning?

No, that's not it.

Strong women also have naive and simple moments.

Therefore, the female lead of this drama also suffered the "beatings of society" when she first graduated and entered the company, and was also pitted by insidious and cunning colleagues.

But she was very lucky; she got a piece of news that could make the headlines, so she became an overnight sensation and became the "fragrant steamed bun" in the TV station.

Because of the TV station's emphasis, the business piled on her became more and more, so the female lead gradually transformed into a strong woman, but from then on, she also lingered in the flower bushes.

However, don't look at the "sea queen" having so many lovers; the "sea queen" also has a "white moonlight" in her heart—that is, the ex-boyfriend she uniquely recognized and whose parents she had met.

Speaking of which, the reason the female lead was able to get that news that made her an overnight sensation was actually because her ex-boyfriend yielded it to her.

The ex-boyfriend and she went deep into a war-torn place in order to get this news.

When others were firing guns, the ex-boyfriend blocked a bullet for her and almost died in front of her.

From then on, the ex-boyfriend no longer engaged in relatively dangerous news work, while the female lead rose steadily by relying on this news.

The two of them turned into two different parallel lines from then on.

Therefore, the end of this script also wrote the ending for the female lead, this "sea queen."

The first love "white moonlight" returns, and she settles her heart and lives happily with the "white moonlight."

When this ending is broadcast, Jin Li and the others can all predict that netizens will definitely be polarized about it.

There are not many dramas on the market that feature a female "sea queen" as the main focus; as long as this drama appears, it can fill the market gap.

Moreover, the career arc of this drama is indeed very good. In the netizens' imagination, it would be best for the female "sea queen" to always linger in the flower bushes and not stay for any one person.

However, the adaptation respects the original work.

The original novel was written like this, so the director did not delete or change the ending.

Yu Lina also specifically looked for the original work, asking why she had to write such an ending, and why not let the female lead have them all.

The author said: "Men are rational, women are emotional."

"Men won't get married because of a momentary impulse, but women will be with a man forever because of a momentary impulse."

"Moreover, behind the 'sea queen's' behavior is actually a lack of trust in relationships; she doesn't trust any man, and doesn't even trust that anyone can let her open her heart."

"Loneliness is a very terrifying thing; I just hope the female lead who fought and struggled tenaciously will no longer be lonely."

This reason convinced Yu Lina, and also convinced Jin Li and the others.

Because of the sisters' approval, plus the production team's sincerity, Yu Lina decided to take on this drama.

At this moment, Yu Lina posted a 【blushing】 emoji in the group.

【I have to act with different handsome guys every day, I'm a bit nervous. I feel like I've developed PTSD toward beauty; I feel disgusted as soon as I see a handsome guy.】

The others all sent a 【despising】 emoji.

Gong Zitong: 【You are "in happiness but don't know happiness." Help me ask that group of handsome guys around you if they are interested in participating in a wilderness survival activity. We are currently in urgent need of "little fresh meat"~】

NANA: 【OK OK, I'll say it now~】

Xi Sister Meng Ze: 【@Jin Li, I've been busy rehearsing lately and have no time to watch the variety show. You watch it first and help me summarize some explosive points.】

【I have a premonition that I will definitely be asked by reporters about those trainees in our company.】

Not only Meng Meng, but Qiguan Mingzhu also tagged Jin Li, wanting Jin Li to summarize the explosive points.

Jin Li sent a 【laughing out loud】 emoji and replied: 【Alright, alright, alright!】

After a while, Wang Hongdou, Ma Mingqi, and their manager Luo Fan also rushed to the lounge.

Just at this time, "Shining Glory" also premiered.

As the first talent variety show to air this year, the premiere of this program has attracted attention from many parties.

Not to mention how industry insiders view it, just looking at the netizens, they have high expectations for this variety show.

For one, the production team behind this variety show is the top talent show team in the country.

Just by looking at the team, netizens believe they won't step on any mines.

For another, it is also because there really hasn't been any talent show variety show this year.

The appearance of this variety show can be considered as filling the gap in the talent show market in a disguised way, attracting some of the netizens' attention.

"Iron-clad variety shows, flowing stars."

After doing talent shows for so many years, they still produced a batch of netizens who love watching talent shows.

The third point is also a point that everyone is particularly curious about.

Can the brand-new boy group "June Sky" launched by Tianding Entertainment replicate the glory of their predecessors "March Sky," step onto the shining stage, and become famous in one fell swoop?

Unlike other talent show variety shows that start with a "king bomb" stage to hook the netizens' excitement,

they started by showing painful accident stages.

And what made the Chenxi Entertainment crowd very embarrassed was that among the first five accident stages, two groups were artists sent by Chenxi Entertainment.

Because the trainees were too nervous, accidents occurred such as obvious off-key singing, wrong notes, wrong lyrics, and wrong dance moves.

In the self-introduction segment, they said their company was Chenxi Entertainment.

The big screen introduced the most famous artists of this company at present, namely Jin Li, Xi Sister Meng Ze, and Qiguan Mingzhu.

The three members of the Pink Girls group appeared on the big screen together, making many boy group contestants exclaim "Wow."

Not to mention the contestants, even the judges let out bursts of exclamation.

After all, the Pink Girls group that these three people were in before was truly famous throughout the country, just one step away from becoming an Asian top group.

If it weren't for the former company splitting their company due to property division issues, they might very well have continued toward brilliance.

But "to wear the crown, one must bear its weight."

When the Pink Girls first debuted, they were also scolded by many people for their poor business ability, but they responded to these doubts with one concert after another.

And now their junior brothers have come to participate in a talent show, but their performance is like this.

One judge asked sharply and pointedly: "Do you think you are worthy of being Jin Li and the others' junior brothers?"

"Do you dare to show your stage in front of Jin Li and the others?"

"If Jin Li and the others were here, what kind of comments would you hope to get?"

That judge was very sincere, but also very cold, saying: "I won't comment on how your stage is; I only ask you, do you dare to show such a stage to Jin Li and the others?"

These new trainees all lowered their heads in shame.

One judge said: "Poor business ability is a capability issue. But if the attitude is poor, then don't be an idol. From you, I don't feel the slightest attitude of love for the stage."

The judge's comments were very cruel, and the Chenxi Entertainment trainees all lowered their heads in shame.

But Jin Li felt something was wrong.

"They had at least a week of preparation time from knowing the news to going to the first stage, so why did they prepare such a stage? Is there not enough rehearsal time in private?"

Because she had been in a girl group, she knew that many dances in a team could actually be learned quickly.

Like those artists who have been famous for a long time, they have to perform a stage in a week.

And outside of rehearsing for the stage, they have to go to variety show schedules every two or three days, leaving them very, very little time to rehearse for the stage.

Mature artists can get a stage ready in a day or two; like these immature artists, they should be able to grind out a stage in a week.

Not to mention that the stage rehearsal time given by these talent show variety shows is very short; they have to rehearse a stage in two or three days, and some people rehearse almost 24 hours a day.

Jin Li felt that the artists chosen by Chenxi Entertainment shouldn't have collapsed to this extent.

She frowned slightly and lowered her head to send a text message to Sister Fang.

Because of her sudden seriousness, Wang Hongdou and the others, who were still laughing and playing, didn't dare to speak.

Sigh, the trainees sent by Chenxi Entertainment performed like this; if they dared to laugh again, wouldn't they be too lacking in awareness?

After a while, Sister Fang replied.

【Those trainees got their phones today. I also just found out that the stage they rehearsed was not this one.】

【Instead, because the stage effect they rehearsed was very good, it was temporarily changed to this one. This was requested by the organizer; they have to listen to the organizer. They only rehearsed this stage for one day.】

Jin Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and she shook her head gently.

Talent show variety shows ultimately cannot escape "god-making" and hype, and it is obvious that the artists sent by Chenxi Entertainment were taken by this program as stepping stones.

However, with March Sky no longer renewing their contract with Tianding Entertainment, it is not surprising that Tianding's attitude toward Chenxi Entertainment has also plummeted.

Jin Li asked: 【Were they eliminated in the first episode?】

Sui Lingfang: 【I don't know the result either. In these two days, the first episode's public performance stage is about to come out, and they are currently in intense rehearsal.】

Jin Li: 【Let them cheer up! No matter the result, they are the best. I'll sign autographs for them when they come back!】

Although she is not very optimistic about Chenxi Entertainment choosing to enter the group field, these people are ultimately her junior brothers, and they are all called "senior sister and junior brothers" outside.

No matter if she recognizes it or not, others will put such a label on her and the others; this is also something that famous artists must experience.

So compared to rejection, Jin Li chose to accept it directly.

If it weren't for the fact that she doesn't like this variety show, she wouldn't mind dragging Meng Meng and Pearl to the program to encourage them.

Sui Lingfang: 【Okay, I will tell her. You just watch the program, don't be too serious.】

Jin Li replied with an "OK."

The first episode of "Shining Glory," with the method of "the beginning is very dramatic, but many powerful stages appeared in the middle and late stages," firmly occupied the first place on the hot search.

Among them, those "junior brothers" of Jin Li also became famous overnight.

But netizens scolded them, thinking they were not worthy of being the Pink Girls' junior brothers.

However, "black red" is also red; now they can only comfort them like this.

It's just that what everyone regrets is that the first episode of the variety show couldn't show all the contestants' stages, especially the June Sky that netizens were most looking forward to, which was placed last by the program team.

They didn't even show their faces, only their backs.

Just like that, the first episode of the variety show ended.

Because they didn't know how June Sky's stage performance was, netizens discounted whether they could replace March Sky's position.

At the same time, because of editing issues, there were negative reviews everywhere.

【How many years has it been, and you're still using this method to cheat clicks?】

【I advise you not to keep us in suspense too much; if the stage isn't as good as imagined, we will only give bad reviews!】

【March Sky would never rely on such gimmicks to attract people; they always show their real strength. If the program team uses editing to add points for them, can I think they are afraid?】

No matter what, the popularity of the mysterious June Sky has been stirred up.

On the other side, the recording site of "Shining Glory."

The Chenxi Entertainment trainees were arranged in a dance studio and could only share it with other trainees.

And in this dance studio, three teams were sharing it.

As for one team per dance studio?

It doesn't exist.

The Chenxi Entertainment trainees complained: "Why can June Sky occupy a stage alone, and they were even pulled over today to re-shoot their first stage?"

The captain among the trainees said in a deep voice: "Don't think so much. It's good enough that we can take care of ourselves; don't worry about those privileged classes."

"I just think it's unfair; they are too overbearing! They occupy not just one dance studio, but three. They are only one team; what do they need three dance studios for?"

The captain still wanted to ease the atmosphere, and just at this time, he received a text message from Sister Fang, and his eyes lit up.

"Let's work hard. When we return to the company, Sister Jin Li will see us, and she will also sign autographs for us. Let's all cheer up!" ===== CHAPTER 574 =====
