Chapter 30 Late Night
"goodbye."
"Goodbye everyone~" Lin Qin, as always, slowed down the nanny car, and when he saw the guests who were on the same stage just now, he rolled down the window and said goodbye to them.
"Ah, as expected of an entertainer from Sakura Country, you are so polite." Faced with the sighs of the guests, Lin Qin smiled embarrassedly, nodded, and then slowly left at a faster pace.
She has heard this kind of praise no less than 10 times in a month of continuous activities.
In fact, today, just to get such a sentence and to impress these guests, she let the nanny car stay in place for ten minutes, and only let the driver start the car after seeing the guests appear.
It has been a month since Lin Qin arrived in the magic capital of Huaxia. Before coming, the company told her:
[Huaxia entertainment industry is the biggest mountain, we are going to conquer it. And with your talents, you shouldn't just stay in this small country to live comfortably. The world is a stage, and it is huge. 】
In fact, Lin Qin thinks that there is nothing wrong with living comfortably. If the whole world is a stage, where would the audience sit? Why do you have to stand in the center of the stage?
But she couldn't refuse the company's arrangement, so she could only come to a foreign country to work hard. After some work, her Huaxia brokerage contract was signed to a company in Shanghai.
She has done very well in Huaxia language since she was a child, and she has made rapid progress when she came to Huaxia. From the beginning when she was afraid to speak on the show, she was able to express herself freely after leaving the script.
This powerful country is very tolerant and open to foreign cultures as rumored, but people in this country don't seem to be completely like this, at least not in the entertainment industry. After all, people still live in groups, xenophobia is an instinct, and selfishness is human nature.
Lin Qin has been here for a month, and feels that there seems to be an invisible barrier everywhere, blocking herself from this place. It is not difficult to move, but the sticky feeling is overwhelming.
In fact, Lin Qin is not the only one who feels this way, almost all foreign artists who come to China feel this way.
So Lin Qin had to change her casual attitude in Sakura Country, because in China, foreign artists were even more cautious than local newcomers.
[Today's program recording is better than yesterday's. Keep going. 】Lin Qin closed the car window, relaxing the tense nerves.
"It's been a long time since I've had a rest tonight, Ah Qin." The agent in the front row turned her head, smiled and shook the tablet in her hand at Lin Qin.
"Yes, Sister Chen, you can take a rest too. I've worked hard for you these days." Lin Qin responded to her manager with a smile.
Sister Chen is the manager sent to her by Linqin Huaxia Company, and also has assistants. After more than a month of running-in, everyone is no longer a stranger. Although we can't say how well we get along, as a manager, nothing is wrong.
"Sister Chen, how was my performance just now?" Lin Qin sat up straight and asked the agent after a while.
Sister Chen switched to a document on the tablet, which listed some texts, which were the shortcomings and highlights of Lin Qin's performance recorded by her offstage at the recording site.
"Today is generally not bad, but when you don't understand some Internet buzzwords spoken by some guests, you can ask them. This is a point to watch."
"Okay, I remember."
"The best thing is that you can surf the Internet more, memorize some of the latest and hottest Internet buzzwords, and the effect of saying them on the show will be fine."
"But I don't even go on social networking sites very much. I don't know what happened to today's [embarrassing]..." Lin Qin said distressedly.
"That [Embarrassment] has become popular recently. Although it is popular, it is quite boring and will pass away soon... It seems that Han Jue made it."
"Han Jue? Is that... Han Jue from "Tucao Daxiu"?" Lin Qin was surprised.
Lin Qin was very impressed with Han Jue. She once thought that Han Jue would quit the entertainment industry either actively or passively after the performance. I didn't expect to hear this name today.
"Yes, it's that Han Jue," Sister Chen nodded, and said softly, "I guess there must be an expert behind the scenes to guide me, every movement..."
Sister Chen stopped digressing, and continued: "Also, when you were recording today..."
After Sister Chen pointed out some of Lin Qin's shortcomings and finished talking about ways to improve, she almost arrived at Lin Qin's apartment.
Lin Qin said goodbye to the staff of the working team, went upstairs to take a bath, and then opened a bottle of red wine to watch a literary film to relax the body that has been spinning around recently.
After finding the movie, when she was about to watch it, a call came to her cell phone.
【Zhang Yiman】.
Zhang Yiman was the first artist friend of the same company that Lin Qin met after she came to this Huaxia company.
In a variety show, two people found out that each other was from the same company, so they got to know each other.
It was only later that Lin Qin found out that the other party was a singer that the company planned to promote next year. Although Lin Qin didn't understand why the other party contacted her frequently for a month, she could tell the good from the bad, so Lin Qin didn't resist the other party's proactive contact, and later took the initiative to maintain this contact.
"Hey, Sister Lin, do you have any plans for the evening?" The voice on the other end of the phone was crisp and crisp, and it sounded crisp and cool on a hot summer day.
"Hey, Xiaoman, I'm resting at home tonight." Lin Qin said while sipping red wine.
"That's great, Sister Lin! Let me take you out to play!" Zhang Yiman said happily.
Lin Qin was hesitating, finally had a night of rest, wouldn't it be good to stay at home?
"Go, let's go~ That place is very fun!" The other party acted like a baby.
Lin Qin sighed, she really would not refuse people, she always has.
"Okay, but I have to be back before 12 o'clock." Lin Qin said softly.
"Yes! I promise to come back!" There were not only clanging voices from the opposite side, but also the sound of feet stomping on the ground. Lin Qin guessed that the other party might have saluted.
Lin Qin didn't tell her manager Sister Chen, so she changed her clothes and went downstairs to wait for Zhang Yiman to pick her up.
Zhang Yiman is familiar with Lin Qin's community, she has already been to Lin Qin's apartment once.
Not long after, a red ordinary car stopped downstairs of Lin Qin's apartment. Before the parked car honked, Lin Qin walked out of the apartment corridor wearing a peaked cap and a mask.
Lin Qin got into the car, and the person sitting in the driver's seat rushed over happily as if wanting to hug her.
Lin Qin doesn't like physical contact with unfamiliar people very much, but seeing the innocent smile on the girl's face, Lin Qin also showed a helpless smile while hiding back, and finally lowered his reaction, and reluctantly let the girl hug her Just a moment before you have time to put on your seat belt.
Zhang Yiman has long wine-red wavy hair, and her fair skin is also very obvious in the dimly lit car. Delicate and pure facial features coupled with charming hair color create a contradictory beauty.
The girl was very satisfied after hugging Lin Qin, and started the car with a smile.
"Where are we going?" Lin Qin asked looking at the scenery outside the moving window.
"Hey, go to a fun place." Zhang Yiman nodded rhythmically as she said, even though there was no music in the car, she could still twist, as if the music was in her mind.
"Sister Lin, you must be so sure, you can't tell others. I dare not go alone, and no one else in the company will take me. I can only find you." Zhang Yiman wanted to cry but couldn't Added in a tearful tone.
Lin Qin frowned when she heard this, and said, "Where are you going? A nightclub? Or a club?"
"No~~ It's a bar! My friend said there will be a rap competition tonight!" Zhang Yiman immediately denied the indecent image in Lin Qin's mind and explained.
Lin Qin calmed down a little.
She knew Zhang Yiman, a girl with good appearance, what route she would take to enter the entertainment circle, and she also knew how much the company had placed high hopes on Zhang Yiman. If the company knew that he did not stop Zhang Yiman and caused some scandal in the end, then he would definitely be implicated as well. Although I am well-known in Sakura Country, I still have to start over in China. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am walking on thin ice. If I am not careful, I may have to go back to Sakura Country.
"You still like to rap?" Lin Qin was surprised, carefully looking at Zhang Yiman from head to toe. From the outside, this girl has nothing to do with hip-hop at all.
"Nope~ It's just that my manager sister gave me a show pretending to be in love, and she didn't tell me who the other party was. What if it was an ugly uncle? Sister Lin, tell me, they didn't get my consent, and they didn't Tell me who it is, should I be angry?" Zhang Yiman looked angry.
【No. ] Lin Qin almost couldn't help blurting out that obeying the company's arrangement is a must for an artist. At least until the wings are hard, it's better to be an entertainer with your tail between your legs.
"Yes! Right!" Zhang Yiman waved his arms, "So! I want to resist them! I want to learn the spirit of hip-hop, starting with listening and singing."
Lin Qin looked out the window and fiddled with her short hair, not knowing what to say about her.
Fortunately, it was just to listen to the music, and the situation was not too serious, so Lin Qin acquiesced to Zhang Yiman's decision. Moreover, people who listen to singing, the probability of being able to recognize these two female artists who are 5 lines away is very small.
"Can I get home before 12 o'clock..." Lin Qin thought melancholy.
Finally, they got out of the car and went to a place called [Seven Mile Bar]. Both of them were wearing masks and peaked caps. Zhang Yiman's wine-red hair was not completely hidden, but still looked very noticeable. Fortunately, everyone's attention is on the upcoming game.
The competition started quickly, it was a knockout round, several players would fight in pairs, and the one who stood at the end could have the final battle with last week's champion.
The level of the contestants varies from high to low, Zhang Yiman and Lin Qin do not dislike them.
Lin Qin knows how to rap, but she thinks the rap skills of these contestants are not bad. And Zhang Yiman is a complete noob, just follow along and join in the fun. They are very devoted to every game, cheering up the players on both sides, and when they hear powerful sentences, they will follow the crowd and yell loudly.
The whole process was hearty, and I heard that they were already sweating profusely.
It's just that Lin Qin tugged at the corner of Zhang Yiman's clothes before hearing the attack and defense of the master, and motioned for his watch, which meant [It's almost 12 o'clock! I'm going back to sleep! 】
Zhang Siman also feels that it is almost the same. It is enough to experience rap today, anyway, it is just a whim. Moreover, if you say go back before 12 o'clock, go back before 12 o'clock! Doing what she says is her ninja way!
In the end, they slowly left the excited crowd and walked outside the bar. When they walked up the stairs, they could hear the host shouting excitedly behind them: "I can feel that Lao Han is very angry today! Let us expect anger Lao Han’s rap!~~”
Then Lin Qin and Zhang Yiman who were walking on the stairs heard an angry voice and started rapping with a strong rhythm. The lyrics could not be heard clearly, and the sound was already very weak when it reached their ears, but despite this, even through the wall, they could feel the sharp flow like a blade. I really don't know what the audience will feel when they face this voice on the basement floor.
But unfortunately, I couldn't stay and listen. Now everything is less important than Lin Qin's sleep time, they hurried to the car.
"What's the name of your dating show?" Lin Qin asked curiously while sitting in the car.
"I don't know, I forgot, and I just quarreled with my manager's sister, hehe~" Zhang Yiman said embarrassedly.
"Then when will the recording start?" Lin Qin was helpless, but this kind of thing seems to be especially understandable for Zhang Yiman.
"7 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Tomorrow??? It starts at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, and you still come out to play at night? Aren't you going to sleep?" Lin Qin looked incomprehensible. Recording at 7 o'clock means waking up at least 4 o'clock. Although it is not uncommon for a newcomer to debut or catch fire, sleeping 3 hours a day. But if an artist is given time to sleep and the artist does not sleep, he is probably either a past artist or a workaholic.
Zhang Yiman is neither, she is willful.
"Oh, it's only at this time that I have to come out to play, so my manager sister will know how angry I am!" Zhang Yiman snorted heavily.
"Your manager still knows you're out?"
"I know, she's still waiting for me at my house." Zhang Yiman looked relaxed, without burden.
Lin Qin sighed.
Finally, after Zhang Yiman sent Lin Qin home, he returned to his residence.
The manager who was sitting on the sofa saw Zhang Yiman opened the door but didn't come in. Instead, he poked his head in, and immediately retracted when he saw her.
"Yo, you're still back? I thought you wouldn't come back after quitting." The manager crossed his arms and watched Zhang Yiman slowly move in with a sneer.
Zhang Yiman is obviously not as confident as he brags in front of Lin Qin before.
Zhang Yiman moved a few steps, then flew towards the manager, hugged the manager's arm and leaned on the manager's shoulder, and said coquettishly: "I'm going to relax~"
The manager supported Zhang Yiman's head with his palm, and leaned back desperately, looking disgusted and wanting to avoid it.
"Stop doing this trick." The manager simply stood up.
Zhang Yiman looked like he was about to cry.
The manager just looked at her, watched Zhang Yiman's performance, and said from time to time: "The grievance is not enough, I need to release a little more."
"The fluttering of the corners of the mouth is very good! You have improved!"
"Hey ~ yes, keep it up, I'll help you take a picture, this is the best cry this week."
"Ahhh!" Zhang Yiman danced and danced like thunder.
In the end, still under the lesson of the manager's finger poking Zhang Yiman's forehead, Zhang Yiman still acted like a good baby, and the incident of running away at night was over.
However, both parties know that it won't be long before the willful will still be willful, and the headaches will still be headaches.
"Sister Qin, are you so relieved that I'm acting as a couple with a stranger? What if my acting skills are too good, and I'm too deep into the drama, and I'm kidnapped?" Zhang Yiman lay on the sofa, resisting acting Final struggle.
"Hehe, don't worry, you won't fall in love with anyone you like. In short, don't get too close to him, it will easily implicate you." Manager Sister Qin said.
[One of the ways to blackmail a person is to make another person infinitely higher, so as to belittle that person. When the public opinion and public relations are messed up, Xiaoman becomes a victim, and fans will come easily, and the road will be paved. 】Sister Qin was thinking about something that she would never tell the girl in front of her.
"Oh." Zhang Yiman nodded to show that he understood.
