Originally thought it was an ordinary competition based on strength, but at the end of the day, they all entered the top three, but the organizer suddenly made a mistake.
What can be done in an afternoon at most, they have to divide it into three days to complete, today compares this and tomorrow compares that, today compares this with this and tomorrow compares that with that, and also poses for photos in front of the billboards, and the competition During the period, their images can still be used for all commercial purposes...
Although there are indeed people watching, and the popularity of this game is getting higher and higher in this city, and there is even a special time for this city's TV station to broadcast it, but from the perspective of the players, it is indeed a bit too much to squeeze the contestants .
Originally, my eldest brother wanted to finish the competition quickly and then go back to school to concentrate on studying and prepare for the next half-time exam.
If the organizer does this, I feel that I have lost money no matter what.
—He must have the patience to advertise to others. He had already agreed when the two brokerage companies came to him before. Maybe they are already popular now, so there is no need to work so hard for the tens of thousands of dollars
It doesn't matter if you work hard, at most three days, just treat it as a loss and buy a lesson.
But what is even more irritating is that the scoring criteria for the top three contests has changed again. This time, in addition to the scores of the dancing machine itself and the judges' scores, it is also necessary to refer to the total number of votes cast by the audience in the last three days as a comprehensive data for the top three. ranking.
The prize for the first place is 50,000, but the second place is only 20,000, and the third is only 10,000. The difference in grades is too great.
But the first place depends not only on strength, but also on popularity. In addition, the proportion of judges' scores has also been increased to 40% of the total score, and the judges are arranged by the organizer. It is also difficult to get high scores if they advertise in various ways.
In the future, it is not only necessary to play the dance machine to win, but also to curry favor with the judges and gain the popularity of the audience, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Competition today is no longer just a competition.
The organizer obviously planned it from the very beginning, and no matter how you look at it, this deal looks like being tricked into a thief's boat.
Although Yan Han only wanted to win the third prize at the beginning, but since he gained professional music skills, he has also paid attention to this competition. Every weekend, he will find time to go to the shopping mall to practice. And hard work is not inferior to others at all, and tens of thousands of people have fought hard, there is no reason to give up at this time.
So on the eve of the second game of the finals, Yan Han, who had been tortured to the point of upset in the first game, specially consulted Lin Jianlu when they were writing summer homework together.
Brother Da Lin is knowledgeable and talented, books about law in the house occupy an entire wall of bookcases, and according to Yan Han's knowledge, Brother Da Lin has read all those books.
"So is it a violation of the rules for the organizer to do something like this?"
"Breaching the regulations is not considered a violation." Lin Jianlu said: "When you filled out the registration form, they have indicated that the format of the competition is up to the organizer, and matters including advertising have already been indicated in the competition description. "
Yan Han: "..."
"But the wickedness is real."
"...then there is nothing to do? In the next two days, I am doomed to sacrifice my appearance for fairness?"
In yesterday's first match, he didn't cooperate with the organizers to advertise the sponsor because he couldn't accept it. As a result, the judges gave him a very low score.
In the end, he practiced hard for a month, and Yan Han knew his own level. He also watched other people's games, and he also knew the level of his opponent.
If it was true that he did not perform well and was given a low score, he wouldn't say anything, but the judges gave him a low score because the reason was completely nonsense and unfair. Not to mention Yan Han's dissatisfaction, even many spectators who watched the competition felt baffled.
The good thing was that although his popularity hadn't been particularly raised, it had always been very high, and the low scores given to him by the judges were not enough to make him eliminated in the first place.
But even with the big brother's violent temper, he couldn't bear the loss of being dumb.
So, why don't you hurry up and ask Brother Dalin for advice.
"Nonsense again." Upon hearing what he said about sacrificing appearance, Lin Jianlu looked at him helplessly and said, "Leave this matter to me."
"What can you do?"
Lin Jianlu pondered for a moment with his downcast eyes: "The organizer behind the scenes of this game is Tianhua Entertainment, so it's not easy to start..."
"Huh? Tianhua Entertainment?"
The name Yan Han has an impression, it seems that the manager who came to chat with him when he signed up and wanted to poach him to become a star was Tianhua Entertainment
As a famous first-tier city, there are two major domestic entertainment companies hovering in this city, one is Tianhua and the other is Luxuan, because people from these two companies have offered him olive branches, plus Wen Juerong and the others This kind of people who pay attention to the entertainment industry will sometimes mention it, so Yan Han still has an impression of these two companies.
Why did he think it was just a small competition after a long time, and it was also run by the giants of the entertainment industry behind it
"The water here is very deep. It's normal if you don't know." Lin Jianlu explained to him: "It looks like an ordinary competition, but in fact Tianhua has been planning it for a long time. The essence is to attract more competitions for his agency. Do you have any contact with the five eliminated in the quarterfinals? They should either be signed by an entertainment company, or they are on the way to sign a contract."
"Of course, someone with extraordinary aptitude like you will be favored in the audition."
"..."
He understood the routine. But the point is...
"Brother Dalin, how do you know so much?"
Yan Han couldn't help admiring him even more!
At that time, Lin Jianlu was also doing his summer homework. When he heard him ask this question, he just replied flatly: "Oh, because Lu Xuan owns shares in my family, so I knew about it before."
"Ok?"
Yan Han also put on a pensive look, he can't be blamed for being unable to react, it's just that the impact was a bit big all of a sudden.
"You mean Lu Xuan Entertainment?"
"Ok."
"The only Luxuan entertainment company that can compete with Tianhua?"
"Ok."
"..."
Yan Han froze for a moment.
"Brother Lin."
"Ok?"
"Is there any awesome industry in your family that I don't know about?"
"...There should be many." Lin Jianlu replied after serious thinking, and then asked solemnly: "Which aspect do you want to know first?"
"No, I was just joking."
Yan Han smiled at Brother Lin, and he vowed never to discuss this kind of industry with Lin Jianlu again!
In any case, the next day, the second game of the finals, came as scheduled.
Since entering the finals, it is necessary to fill in the identity, and Yan Han's participation in this competition has never been a secret, so in the end, he could only write "female" in the gender column in the eyes of many students.
But because his temperament is too tough, his gestures are full of masculinity and handsomeness, so the clothes arranged for him by the organizers in the finals are all neutral and handsome clothes, and even today's set is simply men's clothing .
That's right, after entering the finals, because of the need to advertise, even the clothes were prepared by the organizer, and he couldn't take the opportunity to earn points by relying on the task of the drag queen!
So this is a loss on top of a loss!
In addition, they have to arrive at the scene two hours before the game, and they will be given makeup by a special makeup artist. It's like participating in some talent show. It takes half a day to throw in like this, which also makes the elder brother very upset. another reason.
However, the other two contestants in the finals didn't care about this kind of thing at all. Apart from Yan Han, the other two contestants were a man and a woman. .
The girl is a sophomore in high school, she will be in her third year at the beginning of school, she is an art student, and she wants to apply for a well-known film and television academy in China. It can be said that she has unlimited potential.
Both of them have lively and cheerful personalities who are willing to express themselves in front of others, while Yan Han is completely different from them.
The most fundamental reason is that the eldest brother wants to take the first place because he doesn't want to give up the 50,000 yuan, while the other two players seem to be the ones with particularly good family conditions, and maybe they don't care about the tens of thousands of dollars at all.
Although, in their eyes, Yan Han is the real local tyrant - the clothes he wears are all world-famous brands, and they are the latest models of this year.
There is a luxury car to pick you up and drop off at every turn, and they are not the same car. Today it is a Rolls-Royce and tomorrow it will be replaced by a Maybach. Who can compare to this.
The most irritating thing was Yan Han's attitude, not only the two contestants couldn't see it, even the staff of the organizer couldn't help complaining—
"How rich is this family who can wear thousands of dollars worth of clothes as if they were going to the vegetable market?"
"Throw it away like a pair of shoes! It's like throwing away like a pair of shoes! Last time I saw with my own eyes that she was still wearing Versace's sportswear in the morning, and changed into Hermes' new style in the afternoon!"
"Is it fake? Who is so wealthy to participate in our competition? And I heard that this person has nothing to do with the higher-ups, otherwise the first match of the final would not be..."
"It shouldn't be fake, you haven't seen the car that brought her here today..."
In the midst of everyone's discussion, Yan Han who came to participate in the competition is still the most beautiful boy in the crowd. The makeup artist is circling around him, gesticulating with the powder in his hand on his face, stunned It was half a day without daring to fall—
In her opinion, this face is already perfect, even if it looks up close, the skin is so good that there are no blemishes, there is really nothing that needs to be improved by makeup.
In the end, the makeup artist had no choice but to discuss with Yan Han: "Your face is so perfect! For the sake of the stage effect, I will simply put some glitter powder on you and do some eye makeup."
Yan Han became expressionless, and said with a very cold attitude: "Whatever."
There were only two days left, Yan Han went to Lin Jianlu, and said he wanted to defend his rights, but the rights protection was a later matter, and he had to participate in the remaining games of these two days no matter what.
Life is like this, making money is not easy.
Although being cheated, the difficulty of this difficulty has increased, but who would have trouble with money.
So he not only came to follow the whole process of the last two days of the game, but also had to be active, take the initiative, and maximize his interests in order to be worthy of himself.
Brother Da Lin said yesterday that he would help him settle this matter. Lin Jianlu's method was also very straightforward - he planned to call the top management of Tianhua Entertainment directly to negotiate. Although Tianhua and Lu Xuan were competitors, the market Resources are limited, and the two entertainment companies occasionally have to shake hands and make peace.
What's more, the entertainment industry is not the main industry for the Lin family.
The Lin family has a great career, as long as he speaks, Tianhua will give him face.
Lin Jianlu's original words are that they don't need them to directly promote you to the championship, as long as they do it relatively fairly.
But Yan Han already had calculations and plans in his heart, and besides, he felt that there was no need for such a petty troublemaker to move out of the big mountain of the Lin family, especially Brother Da Lin seemed serious. My son's phone calls went out...
In retrospect, in fact, he told Lin Jianlu these things just to vent his dissatisfaction, but Brother Da Lin is a practical man, he will not complain or vent, he will only solve it.
But what should I do, the discomfort in Yan Han's heart after Lin Jianlu made such a fuss subsided a lot.
Life is bound to encounter many difficulties.
Sometimes what makes people unhappy is not the difficulties themselves, but that there is no way to solve them, and they have to face them alone.
So when there is a way to solve this difficulty and someone helps him and faces it with him, the difficulty is actually not a difficulty at all.
Yan Han's current mood is exactly like this.
And thinking of Lin Jianlu, his cold and hard face became a little loose, Yan Han slightly raised the corners of his lips, and after putting on makeup, he asked actively and proactively: "So wait a minute, what is the arrangement and process? "
With a smile, he drew the attention of the people around him when he said a word.
When Yan Han wasn't enthusiastic or cooperative, his competitors didn't take him very seriously. The staff of the organizers looked at him more like a dead man, and the general thought was—here came another one who didn't understand.
I didn't expect that the man who had a murderous face before suddenly asked about the process? !
The staff in charge of publicity stuttered, and then said: "Wait, I will record a separate interview with you later. If the effect is good, it will be broadcast before the start of the game. This is the draft. Please read it first."
The staff member said, even inadvertently used the honorific title.
Yan Han then got a few pages of A4 size printing paper.
Some questions are displayed in it, as well as related reference answers, which seem quite boring.
But the meaning of the staff is already obvious—he can record the interview without following the content of the draft, anyway, if the recording effect is not good, it will not be broadcast, and it will be him who will be embarrassed on the eve of the game, which will not be good for canvassing votes. The organizers have nothing to lose.
The force behind it is Tianhua Entertainment. There are many good-looking and capable people in the company. Out of the arrogance of a kind of industry giant, even if they all think that Yan Han is a once-in-a-lifetime good seed Willing to "condescend" to recruit him.
Unless he wants to.
Therefore, he is just a player in a small competition who has not broken out of the siege, so no one tells him these things, and he depends on his own understanding.
—If you want to be an artist, you don't even have the awareness and emotional intelligence, and you won't be popular in the future, so there is no need to talk to him at all.
After handing him the manuscript, the staff left indifferently, but in the following time, when the other two contestants were still carrying makeup artists around to apply powder on their faces, Yan Han had already read the manuscript seriously.
And because he was the first to complete the preparations, he was also the first to be interviewed.
Yan Han behaved naturally and properly in front of the camera, with a rare smile on his face. When he smiled, he felt a little stunning, but he still spoke humorously, and his painting style was very unique.
Just a few minutes of interviews can also be full of conversation and laughter, which makes people feel good after watching it.
"Okay, pass!" After the interview was recorded, the planner applauded in satisfaction, and watched the playback a little bit unsatisfactorily, then looked at Yan Han in shock, and couldn't help saying: "This classmate performed very well, Why don't you do this earlier, so you don't have to..."
The planner didn't say anything later, so Yan Han just smiled, as if he didn't hear anything, and didn't ask anything.
Standing up from the table filled with all kinds of milk and billboards, Yan Hanchong planned to bow and left the recording room.
The staff members who were watching couldn't help talking in a low voice, "It seems to be enlightened."
"Let's just say, who wouldn't want to be popular?"
When Yan Han was recording, his two competitors were also standing beside him, and now hearing what the staff said, the girl couldn't help complaining to the boy: "I thought it was some kind of independent god, but it turns out it's just That's it. You obviously wanted to be popular, but you were so reluctant before, and you thought you were a persecuted white lotus? This is too bitch."
The boy's gaze was still on the direction where Yan Han disappeared, and he just smiled and didn't speak when he heard what she said.
Because Yan Han suddenly became enthusiastic and knew that he was actively cooperating, so in the next round of competition he scored very high with the judges.
The other two contestants do have a foundation in dancing, but in terms of dancing machines, Yan Han, who is extremely talented, is the best. As for popularity, after the short interview was released, there was a wave of votes at the end. Yan Han's popularity rose again, so after the overall score of the second day's competition, Yan Han ranked first without any suspense.
Because today's performance is really surprising, the scores in all aspects are very high, so if you add up the scores of the first two games, Yan Han ranks first, the girl ranks second, and the last boy who is studying in college ranks third name.
After the competition, the other two competitors met again, and the girls all said jealously: "They obviously want to praise Yan Han, and this time the first place must go to her."
The boy's performance is very buddhist. He originally participated in the competition because he was bored. After a while, he only responded indifferently.
The girl was even angrier: "After a long time, the two of us are here to run with you! You don't care at all? Could it be that you also like that Yan Han?"
The boy looked at the girl helplessly.
Because she wants to apply for the film and television academy, and she will also be in this circle in the future, so after realizing that this is an opportunity, the girl is active and enthusiastic enough in the competition. She has already signed a contract with Tianhua, so she attaches great importance to this ranking, after all If it is to be used as a bonus item, it must be the first, and no one will remember the second in this kind of small competition.
"Prepare for tomorrow's game." The boy left without saying anything.
"..."
And Yan Han was also stopped when the game ended and left the field.
The activity director personally approached him to talk to him about signing with Tianhua.
Yan Han's attitude was very straightforward, but he refused very respectfully: "I'm sorry, I have no plans to sign Tianhua yet."
"This... you don't want to think about it again? It's a good choice to sign with Tianhua. You look good, and the company will definitely make great efforts to promote you."
Yan Han said politely: "I'm still a student now, and I don't intend to sign a contract, it will affect my study too much."
"Have you thought about it? Aren't all the people in the circle as patient as I am?"
The activity director's face turned cold as he spoke. In his eyes, Yan Han was just a student, and Yan Han put away all his hostility. Not only did he have a very respectful attitude, but he was also cautious when talking to him, as if he was afraid It looks like I said something wrong.
He has seen many students like this, not to mention students, even the newcomers in the circle who are not bowing in front of them, yelling at each teacher, not wanting to offend anyone.
In the past, Yan Han refused to enter, and only wanted to pursue a fair and just game, so they didn't talk to him about signing a contract. There was no black box operation, and it was all sponsors who let him squeeze into the top three based on his strength. He has a good appearance and intends to keep him to earn benefits for them.
Now seeing the other party's attitude has also softened, and compared with the soft and hard ones before, Yan Han, who has softened at the moment, is looking at him with a pair of deer-like eyes. There is a little recklessness, a little ignorance, and more because of worry. Chu Chu, who refused to sign the contract and affected her ranking, was pitiful.
Such a person will make people have a desire to conquer him by virtue of nothing.
So seeing that he was not completely unresponsive, the director coughed lightly, and tried to persuade him earnestly: "Think about it again, I have inquired about it, your family is relatively difficult, and going to school will cost you a lot of money, right? The first prize must be very important to you, right? Do you really want to give up the first place like this?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, the face of the "pretty and pitiful" "girl" in front of him also changed, and Yan Han bared his teeth in satisfaction: "So Director Wang, you mean that if I don't agree to sign the contract, I won't get the first prize." name?"
"You... what do you mean by that?" Director Wang's complexion changed after years of work experience, and he immediately denied it: "I didn't say that..."
But his words have been interrupted by Yan Han.
But in the blink of an eye, the frightened deer turned into a wolf with its tail exposed. Yan Han shook the recording pen he took out from Lin Jianlu, and the red light flashed brightly on it, indicating that the recording was in progress.
Yan Han continued: "Why did the street dance king require me to sign Tianhua? Why would my ranking be affected if I didn't sign? Director Wang, what do you mean by that? I don't understand."
His voice is full of innocence, with a message of "I'm so flustered".
But there was a smile on his face, a cruel and flamboyant smile. If he hadn't finished the recording work, the eldest brother would have been laughing "hahahaha" by now.
God knows how painful it was for him to say "ruthless words" to him just now in order to achieve that effect and make the other party relax his vigilance!
