Chapter 455: Breakfast Can Be Skipped
[You fought a fierce battle last night, Constitution +1]

[You have been recognized by everyone, Charm +1]

When Lin Jiang woke up the next day and opened his eyes, he saw only Jiang Xiaoqi was by his side.

There were also the sounds of pots and pans clanging outside.

If nothing unexpected happens, Fang Jie and the others are making breakfast.

They stayed up too late yesterday, and Lin Jiang looked at Jiang Xiaoqi who was sleeping soundly, so he didn't pull her to do morning exercises.

After getting up and leaving the room, I saw that only Fang Jie was in the kitchen. Tang Wan and He Wenyi were gone.

Lin Jiang stood behind Fang Jie and hugged her from behind.

"Where are they?"

Being hugged from behind by Lin Jiang like this, Fang Jie's body suddenly softened. She stopped what she was doing and had no intention of cooking anymore.

"Xiao Wan asked for leave and came back. She has to rush back today, so she's leaving first. Wen Yi has to record the last episode today, so she wants to leave first too."

“Where did they record it?”

"We borrowed the TV station's venue and recorded it there." Fang Jie said:

"I'm going to go over and take a look later, do you want to come?"

Lin Jiang looked at his watch. It was already past eight in the morning and Xu Yingjun would not be back until the afternoon, so there was still enough time.

"Then go over and take a look. I have nothing to do in the morning."

"I'll cook first, we'll go over later."

"Xiao Qi is sleeping right now. I don't think she will wake up for a while, so there's no rush to make dinner."

"I think you want to do morning exercises here." Fang Jie said angrily, her voice numb.

Lin Jiang's hand slowly moved upwards, and Fang Jie's body became softer.

"You know me well. I can skip breakfast, but I can't do morning exercises."

"Bad guy, four of us dealt with you yesterday, and you're still not behaving yourself this morning."

"But in the end, weren't you four still the ones who lost?"

"You are simply not human."

Having said that, Fang Jie began to cooperate with Lin Jiang.

"Isn't this exactly what you want? Do you want to find someone who is not good enough?"

"You're just being ungrateful after getting the advantage." Fang Jie said coquettishly.

After a while, the mini-game ended and the two moved on to the next stage.

Fang Jie's voice spread throughout the room.

Just at this moment, Jiang Xiaoqi appeared at the door of the room. Seeing the two of them, she instantly became much more energetic.

"Sister Fang, you were scolding me last time, and this time you and Brother Jiang have also started." Jiang Xiaoqi said with a smile.

If everyone was in this state, Fang Jie wouldn't have anything to feel embarrassed about.

But Jiang Xiaoqi had just woken up, and Fang Jie was in this state, so she was still a little shy.

"I did this for you, too. Otherwise, your brother Jiang would have to look for you, and you wouldn't have been able to sleep until now."

Jiang Xiaoqi showed a wicked smile on her face, and said in a somewhat gloomy tone:

"Then I would like to thank Sister Fang."

Jiang Xiaoqi went to the bathroom to wash up, but the two continued.

After a while, Fang Jie's body was too weak to continue, so she was replaced by Jiang Xiaoqi who had just washed up, and the morning exercises ended perfectly.

After breakfast, Fang Jie changed into a very business-like outfit: a white hip skirt, a matching women's suit on the upper body, and a burgundy shirt underneath. Coupled with her own temperament, she looked like a strong woman, which made Jiang Xiaoqi extremely envious.

After leaving the house, the three of them drove away separately.

I followed Fang Jie all the way to the TV station. This was the first time I had been to such a place since I was a child.

From the outside, the building looks a little old, but when you get inside, you'll find that it still has something there.

After coming in, the two walked side by side.

Fang Jie's high heels made a clicking sound, and with Lin Jiang beside her, people passing by, both men and women, would subconsciously turn around to look.

"The recording should have started by now. You can take a look at her performance and give an objective evaluation. By the time we start promoting it later, I will have a better idea of ​​what to expect."

Lin Jiang nodded, and the two walked towards Studio No. 4.

The light in the room was a little dim, with only the stage on. A middle-aged male singer was singing on the stage with a particularly soulful voice.

The auditorium was full of people, who were also enchanted by the performance, some even shed tears.

Lin Jiang listened carefully and found that the male singer on the stage sang just so-so.

It's not that great, and the emotions aren't that rich, but the audience cried after listening to it. I have to say, the acting is really good.

"How much did you pay for it?" Lin Jiang asked in a low voice.

"Those who can't cry are 300 per show, and those who can cry are 450."

"This is considered a technical job." Lin Jiang said with a smile.

"In the circle, this has formed an industrial chain. Finding normal audiences will not have this effect." Fang Jie said:

"In short, the entertainment industry is like this. The artists and stars are acting, the audience is also acting, and only the fans take it seriously."

"This reminds me of He Wenyi. I feel sorry for her fans." "It feels quite fulfilling, doesn't it?" Fang Jie said with a smile.

"really."

After chatting for a while, the singer on the stage finished singing.

Fang Jie was looking at her phone. Lin Jiang glanced at her and saw that she was talking to He Wenyi.

"We arrived a little late. He was the fifth to sing, Yu Na was the sixth, and Wen Yi was the seventh."

After saying that, Fang Jie looked at Lin Jiang and asked, "What do you think of his singing?"

"Average, definitely not as good as Wenyi's."

"We have discussed this before. There are eight people participating in this music variety show. She and Yu Na are in the first echelon. The rest are new singers and some out-of-date singers who are just rehashing old songs. It all depends on how she performs next."

Lin Jiang nodded. If the recording went smoothly, he should be able to finish watching He Wenyi sing.

After the male singer left, the host came on stage and had some small interactions. Soon it was the sixth singer's turn, a female singer.

Lin Jiang still had some impression of her, it seemed her name was Li Xuan.

Open your gifted eyes.

【Name: Li Xuan】

[Singing talent: 71]

【Actor Talent: 19】

This level is far from He Wenyi's and poses no threat to her.

There were two men sitting in the audience on the other side.

One of them was in his forties, wearing glasses and well-dressed. You could tell at a glance that he was in good condition.

The man's name is Liu Ke, and he is the vice president of Qinghong Entertainment. Yu Na was the one who signed with the company, and the relationship between the two is unclear.

Next to him was a middle-aged man with long hair, wearing a Tang suit-like outfit, which was a bit retro.

And this person is Qinghong Entertainment’s music director, Wang Sheng.

When Lin Jiang took Tang Wan to record a song, he once saw him belittling He Wenyi to the point of being worthless in order to praise Yu Na.

"Li Xuan's performance seems to be pretty good and stable."

"But this song is too flat. Apart from the fact that it is performed relatively steadily, it doesn't have any other advantages," said Wang Sheng.

"It seems that our plan was quite successful. The new song that these people rushed out is still a little bit inferior in quality."

"Of course, but even without this competition system, her singing skills are still not as good as Nana's." Wang Sheng said calmly:
"Among these people, the only one who can really pose a threat to Nana is He Wenyi."

After saying this, Wang Sheng also laughed and said:

"The person we looked down upon became inexplicably popular after changing companies. If we had known this, we would have asked for more money."

Liu Ke smiled and said, "It may be related to her company. I learned about this when I was having dinner with Mr. Zhou. The boss of YM18 is quite powerful. The movie "Charlotte's Troubles" they invested in was a big hit and became popular in the circle. Now that they are in the limelight, it is reasonable for them to spend money to give her some resources and water army."

"I remember seeing you guys in a meeting at the company one time. I heard CEO Zhou say that you had to get first place. CEO Zhou also seemed to take the movie that started shooting recently very seriously."

"I heard that Mr. Zhou and the boss of YM18 have some deep grudges, so he spent a lot of money to bribe the judges to change the competition system, just to suppress He Wenyi." Liu Ke said:
"And the movie "789 Bureau" that we invested in together with Longteng Media also collided with their second movie. Now the new and old grudges have come together. President Zhou is naturally concerned about this matter."

"They are really wealthy enough to spend so much money."

"That's their business. I heard they're also competing in other areas. As for the outcome, it has nothing to do with us."

"Ah."

While the two were talking, Li Xuan had finished singing, and the next to appear was Yu Na.

But because it was a recording, after Li Xuan finished singing, other shots had to be recorded.

There was an NG when the host was announcing the show, which delayed Yu Na for half an hour before she appeared on stage.

Yu Na wore a dress similar to an evening gown and walked to the center of the stage under the gaze of everyone.

The audience at the scene shouted one after another, and the voices were louder than those of the previous singers.

"The name of this song is "Migratory Birds". How about you listen to it?"

Lin Jiang didn't say anything, but listened quietly.

"I stay where I am, listening to your footsteps going away into the starry night sky..."

"I pursue the distant sky, and it is the light and shadow that leave behind the illusory clouds..."

Yu Na sang very emotionally and seriously.

The song was well written, but her performance was a bit disappointing.

In the final analysis, her talent is not high. She can sing to this level, which can be said to have been developed to her limit. There will not be much improvement in the future.

"It's not bad. If she continues to sing like this, I can give her 70 points at most. If Wenyi can perform normally, I can give her 95 points."

Fang Jie looked at Lin Jiang with a little surprise.

"This is the first time I've seen you speak so highly of someone."

"In fact, her current level is about 90 points, but the song I gave her is very suitable for her, so I can add points. Judging from the current situation, Yu Na is no longer worthy of being her opponent."

After listening to what Lin Jiang said, Fang Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

"If there is such a big gap, even if they want to do something behind the scenes, they won't be so bold."
