"If Wanxing feels envious, your agent will probably be very happy."
"She always says that maybe she doesn't give you enough work, otherwise how would you have time to stay up all night playing games..."
The pointed remark sent a shiver down Lu Wanxing's spine.
He then consciously raised three fingers and said, "I swear, there won't be a next time. I will definitely go to sleep before midnight from now on."
"You made this promise yourself," Lu Wantang said quietly. "If your manager ever complains to me again, I'll have him take a look at the schedules of the trainees in the Xizhou Korean region."
"The Korean area?" Lu Wanxing looked puzzled.
This clearly touched on a blind spot in his knowledge.
Lu Wantang didn't mind giving him a brief explanation of the 'trainee system'.
Lu Wanxing listened attentively to the explanations of the system's formation, changes, and origins, but didn't truly grasp their meaning.
But there were a few things he remembered very clearly—
"The average daily training time is twelve hours."
"When my schedule was tight after my debut, I might only get about four hours of sleep a day."
"You need to receive comprehensive and systematic training."
……
Lu Wanxing gasped in shock. "Isn't their competition a bit too fierce?"
"No wonder that region, despite not being among the top in terms of area and population compared to other regions, ranks quite high in terms of entertainment development."
In particular, boy bands and girl groups have a significant influence across the entire planet.
Its star-making model is truly unique.
"So, if you want to experience their work intensity, then feel free to stay up all night."
Lu Wanxing repeatedly said she wouldn't dare, then pointed to the entertainment news she had just seen:
"Look, even the marketing accounts are saying that people in the Korean region drink too much coffee and may have evolved... They are seriously sleep-deprived every day... If ordinary people are this greasy, celebrities must be too!"
He spoke these words with lingering fear.
Lu Wantang smiled slightly, knowing that her casual 'threat' had worked, so she said no more.
Just then, PBtv's usual interview program ended.
After a few commercials, the preview for the second episode of "Voice of the West" appeared.
Because it was a live broadcast, the preview only showed a few rehearsal scenes before the camera shifted to the well-organized backstage arrangements.
Lu Wanxing's attention also shifted from the phone search page back to the television.
"Who's the challenger this season? Did you get advance notice, sis?"
"I don't know."
Lu Wantang shook her head.
I also mentioned what I had found out.
This information comes from various people claiming to be staff members.
"If they claim to be staff members, then it's definitely all fake."
Lu Wanxing said with great certainty, "Everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement. Compared to gossip or vanity, work and salary are more important, right?"
Lu Wantang nodded: "So, this is the experience you've gleaned from various gossip forums?"
Lu Wanxing's eyes widened, and she blurted out, "Sister, how did you know?"
Lu Wantang wanted to keep everyone in suspense, but seeing that the show was already in its final countdown, she gave up on the idea of building suspense.
"Let me emphasize first that I saw it by accident, not intentionally spying on your phone screen."
As she spoke, she made a 6 with her fingers.
"No fewer than 6 times, and each time on a different gossip forum."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wanxing suddenly felt ashamed that her little secret had been discovered by her family, and her face involuntarily turned red.
Lu Wantang looked at him leisurely: "I remember you weren't this interested in gossip before..."
Besides, Lu Wanxing herself is an insider in the industry. If she wants to know any gossip, she can just ask around and find out. Why would she need to browse forums?
“It’s Yi-ge and Sang-ning-jie.” Lu Wanxing betrayed her teammates again. “Sometimes they gossip in the group chat, it’s like an encrypted call, I can’t understand it at all.”
Unfortunately, the gossip they share is so explosive that it's frustrating not to get the full story.
Thus, Lu Wanxing naturally embarked on her journey through gossip forums.
Lu Wantang was speechless: "Can't you just ask them directly?"
As soon as the question left her mouth, she realized something and exclaimed, "Oh, you don't want them to know that you actually want to hear gossip too, right?"
Lu Wanxing covered her face.
it is more than words.
Lu Wantang patted his shoulder, "I'll keep it a secret."
"But if you have any gossip from inside the company, remember to share it with me."
"Chang Yun should tell you about everything that happens inside the company, right?"
Lu Wanxing always felt that Chang Yun was like an all-around housekeeper, able to know everything about Lu Wantang or the company.
“There are already three branch offices, he might not be able to manage them all.”
Sometimes, gossip spreads faster than any other channel.
"Row."
Lu Wanxing nodded, which was considered an agreement.
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Wantang glanced at the time: "It's exactly eight o'clock."
As she spoke, the two of them turned to look at the television screen.
The logo of "Voice of the West" leaps into the air.
The logo's color is quite different from the previous one.
The ways of appearing and exiting have also changed.
Next came the opening piece composed by Alder.
Lu Wanxing couldn't help but exclaim, "A master is indeed a master."
"I've listened to this song on repeat so many times, and it still sounds great every time I listen to it."
Lu Wantang also agreed.
Lu Wanxing picked up the remote control from the coffee table: "Should we turn on the live comments? These days, live streams all have real-time comments, right?"
"Ah."
With Lu Wantang's permission, Lu Wanxing fiddled with the remote control, and the bullet screen function was activated.
One 'real-time comments' after another floated across the top of the screen.
To avoid affecting the image quality, Lu Wanxing even made the font size much smaller.
[Here it comes!]
Looking forward to tonight's rankings!
I bet Cleveland will be number one.
[Clephia is an insurmountable mountain for everyone, unless she makes another mistake.]
The production team invited the wrong person.
……
Aside from the initial barrage of comments, various inflammatory remarks followed one after another.
For example, Louis got first place in the last episode by luck.
For example, Cleefia is stronger than everyone else, and as long as he doesn't make any mistakes, he's basically guaranteed first place.
For example, Rosalyn is very likely to be eliminated at the bottom.
Lu Wanxing, who suggested enabling bullet comments, pays close attention to these comments.
He looked for a while before saying, "It seems that not many people think Chen Yubai will be eliminated."
"But nobody thought he could reach the top."
"Isn't this middle-of-the-road position a bit awkward?"
If Lu Wanxing put himself in that situation, the pressure would probably be even greater.
"That depends on what he thinks." Lu Wantang sipped her milk tea, her voice sounding rather sassy.
"If he also thinks that Louis or Clementia are invincible, then he probably really can't win."
"Is it really that idealistic?" Lu Wanxing glanced sideways.
"Well, emotions have a great influence on singing, it's really subjective, as is subjective aesthetics."
