After replying to the corresponding email, a new official announcement was soon released online. Of course, the official announcement of Lin Yi's participation in the program was not a surprise at all to the hundreds of millions of young netizens on Starnet, but rather a shock, and at the same time, they questioned the choice of the "Where Are We From" program team.
Of course, the production team was well prepared for this, and they all refused by saying that the personnel arrangement was decided before the news of Lin Yi's negative relationship broke out. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it was decided anyway.
Lin Yi read the comments for a while and had to admit that the netizens surfing the Empire Star Network were indeed slightly different from those he was familiar with on Earth.
Due to the many years of war, the development of the entertainment industry in the Empire lagged far behind the living standards of ordinary people, so that even the fan circle culture that Lin Yi was familiar with has not developed much. Apart from the war, the more important point is that the mainstream of the Empire is recognized as restrained and rational emotions, which also inhibits the prosperity of the overall entertainment culture.
This is not only reflected in the personalities of netizens, but also in many current film and television works, mainly because the actors in current film and television works have almost no expression. This is fundamentally different from the money-making stars with poor acting skills that Lin Yi was familiar with before. In the end, it is because the overall personality of the people of the Empire tends to be reserved and restrained. Even if the inner emotions are surging, the part that is revealed outside is still kept back as much as possible.
This overall character affects not only film and television works, but also music. If the film and television works can score 50 out of 100, the music is almost only 10 points.
It’s not that there is no beautiful music in the empire, but people are not inclined to use music to express their inner thoughts. Therefore, most pop music is soothing and gentle, and there is even no habit of adding lyrics. It feels like you can just listen to it casually.
Lin Yi was too lazy to read the comments from the show crew of "Where Are We From" for the time being. He closed the relevant webpage, then lay on the sofa, closed his eyes and pondered his current situation.
The original owner's debt plus the monthly living expenses and rent are estimated to be around 20,000, which is also a considerable monthly expense in the Capital Star. The penalty for breach of contract for the advertisement is currently an unchangeable status quo, but Lin Yi plans to return the house. This house was found by the people from Yinyue Entertainment Company when he first came to the Capital Star. Now that the relationship has been torn apart, he naturally cannot live in this house anymore.
Lin Yi didn't think the sudden rent increase this month was a surprise. Continuing to live here was no different from living in a well and waiting for others to throw rocks at him.
"Xiao A, help me find some houses online that are priced around two thousand. It doesn't matter if they are a little small, as long as they have a bed and a bathroom." Lin Yi said.
Although he came from a well-off family in his previous life, he suffered a lot while growing up. He had to practice all kinds of techniques, not to mention going out with the crew to film when he was a teenager. He had to stay in yellow sand and go through ice and snow. During the most difficult times, he often went without sleep for several days in a row.
Little A agreed. While it was busy, Lin Yi thought about the next thing.
It is said that he can earn 50,000 yuan by participating in this variety show, but Lin Yi calculated the imperial tax rate and some miscellaneous things, and estimated that there would be more than 30,000 yuan left.
Of course, he didn't mind the 30,000 yuan. After all, he was just a person with only a few dozen yuan left in his name. Even the 30,000 yuan could only support him for the next month.
According to the original owner's current reputation outside, if it weren't for Yinyue Entertainment's intention to crush him to death, Lin Yi would not have been invited to such a variety show. So in other words, the intention to crush him actually solved Lin Yi's urgent need.
He doesn't intend to suffer any loss by appearing on variety shows, nor does he intend to be played a trick on others. However, this also means that after the other party knows that he will not get any good out of such a matter, it is impossible for them to be stupid enough to give him such an opportunity to be exposed.
As for other programs or companies, they would not extend an olive branch to Lin Yi at this time. For an artist who just debuted and was blocked by all netizens before making any splash, other people would not even give Lin Yi a second glance, even if they were crazy.
Under such circumstances, Lin Yi had to consider his own livelihood. He could not rely on others, he could only rely on himself.
Lin Yi quickly came up with a plan. Although filming was also Lin Yi's favorite and something he was very confident he could do well, it was obvious that he might not get such an opportunity in the short term. His only breakthrough could only be composing music.
He likes music, enjoys music, and also has a talent for creation. When he was on Earth, apart from being an actor, the identity of a singer-songwriter probably better represented him. If he were reborn on Earth, he might have to worry a little about the listeners who have developed a taste for music and would need him to spend more effort to please them. However, the current situation of the First Empire is very favorable to Lin Yi.
This place is like a blank piece of paper, allowing Lin Yi to freely draw the work he likes.
At present, if ordinary people want to publish their own works and make a name for themselves, the only way is to publish their works on the Internet platform where people of the same interest gather. For example, it is impossible for ordinary people to find an entertainment company to publish songs. Nowadays, major entertainment companies in the empire do not care about music-related businesses at all. Unless you are a big shot who has already gained a good reputation in these fields, you can consider getting a chance to release a record once in a dozen years.
But the so-called big names rarely release this kind of record, because the style is the same over and over again, so it doesn’t matter to everyone whether to release it or not.
Of course, Lin Yi can't find an entertainment company to release his works now. He prefers to publish his works online. But he won't use his real name to publish them. At least he has to use an anonymous identity. Otherwise, people will be able to sentence his works to death without even listening to his songs.
Lin Yi followed the original owner's memory and opened a large forum. The content of this forum is quite complicated. It can be said that as long as there is something in the empire, there is an independent section here, and there is not much gap between the sections. According to the last statistics, 60% of the empire's netizens go to this forum at least twice a week, so the traffic is needless to say.
The music section is not very well-known here, but there are always people uploading their works here. The website will also give the creators some money rewards based on the number of hits on the work, and the audience can also reward the person who posted the work according to their own wishes.
Lin Yi just clicked in and saw the hot posts in the past three days displayed under the general section. The content of the posts ranged from fancy ways to consume nutrient solution to a summary of high-quality alphas from the capital star, covering an extremely wide range.
As expected, Lin Yi also saw several posts from the original owner of Hei on the front row, but he was too lazy to read them. He just planned to register an anonymous account for himself.
Unlike on Earth where there were only two genders to choose from, male or female, there were six genders listed here. Although he still felt a little uncomfortable, Lin Yi tried his best to suppress his desire to complain, and then put a check mark behind "omega male".
After registering, he went back to the forum homepage. He hadn't started writing the song yet, and had nothing to post now, but he glanced at the best posts in the main forum, and when he saw the post "Capital Star High-Quality Alpha Summary", Lin Yi's gaze lingered for a moment, then he thought about it and clicked in.
The original owner grew up on a small planet and basically attended a specialized school for omegas since childhood. Not to mention the number of alphas he had seen, the quality was indeed very average.
The moment Lin Yi clicked on the post, a website that looked very well made appeared in front of him. Lin Yi was stunned, thinking that he would see a large photo with a few soft articles like those on the Earth Forum. It was not that he was easily surprised, but that this website was a bit exaggerated.
The website is divided into regions, family background, physique, height, and even weight. There are dozens of categories in total, and you can choose single or multiple selections. There is nothing it can't distinguish.
Is this really not a privacy issue? Lin Yi thought as he randomly clicked on the first link. He immediately jumped into a very neatly constructed and beautiful web page. There was a photo in the upper left corner of the page. Next to the photo were detailed information about height, weight, age, and even whether the person was married. There was also a lot of text introduction, starting from the alpha's learning experience and personal experience, which was very detailed.
The average height of male omegas in the empire is about 1.75 to 1.8 meters, and a few may reach more than 1.8 meters, which would be considered an unpopular height. The height of male alphas is about 1.85 to 1.9 meters, and 1.95 to 2 meters is the data of a few alphas with excellent physical fitness.
Lin Yi's current height was barely within the pleasing range, 1.79 meters, not too tall or too short. From this point of view, it was not bad, but compared with the alphas he had seen so far, who were often 1.90 meters tall, he was still petite.
Lin Yi had never been in a serious relationship in his previous life, but his sexual orientation was clearly that he liked men. He felt that this was barely a consolation, otherwise if he was a straight man and was sent to such a world to be a destined bottom, he might have to die again.
He quickly browsed through a few alpha pages and his eyes fell on the real-time message area below.
"I rely on this post to keep myself alive every day! Woohoo, I really want to give birth to babies for these alphas. But unfortunately, I'm just a beta. I can't be with an alpha in this life. The best I can do is find an ordinary beta like me to live with."
"Don't be discouraged, beta girl upstairs. You should always have dreams. Maybe there is an alpha who likes this?"
"Hey, big brother, this is not the way to encourage people. Stop giving them empty promises, okay? The alpha and omega are together because of physiological mechanisms. An omega can easily release a little bit of pheromone and it's enough to crush a beta that has no smell like boiled water to the ground. What are you thinking?"
"That's right, how can we compete with others without pheromones?"
Originally, Lin Yi was just a bystander who had nothing to do with this matter. Unexpectedly, someone below suddenly said something that hit Lin Yi on the head.
"Like Lin Yi, isn't it said that his glands were severely injured and he has lost his fertility? Does that mean he can't emit pheromones anymore?"
"Correct. An omega like him can't even be called an omega. An omega without pheromones and fertility is worse than a beta. At least a beta can give birth to a child, and his physique is stronger than his."
"A vicious person like him deserves it! Even an alpha who can't find a mate on a deserted planet wouldn't even look at him."
Well, Lin Yi calmly closed the webpage. It seemed that he would be hit everywhere in the short term, so he might as well go to sleep and have a rest.
