Looking at the stars

Chapter 18 First Visit to Feihua Entertainment

The weekend was only two days. She went to see her grandfather on one day and on the last day of vacation, Gu Nianbei went to see her best friend Su Yetong.

Su Yetong has been very busy recently. She cannot even rest on the weekend and is still in the company's practice room to watch her artists rehearse.

After returning to China, Su Yetong joined Feihua Entertainment as an agent. Feihua Entertainment is a very famous agency in China, with many big-name stars signed to its name, such as the first-line artist Liu Jiayi mentioned earlier.

Not everyone can get a job at Feihua Entertainment. Su Yetong was able to start work quickly after returning to China. Her internship experience abroad, academic qualifications and family connections all played a decisive role.

But Su Yetong had just returned to China after all, and she couldn't manage big-name artists after joining the company. Now the company has assigned her a three-member boy band with little fame.

Even so, Su Yetong was extremely busy.

When Gu Nianbei arrived at Feitian Entertainment, Su Yetong didn't have time to come out to pick her up.

She had no choice but to follow the instructions and go in to find Su Yetong herself.

As he walked in, he saw many artist posters hanging on the company's display wall. Gu Nianbei looked at them with great interest.

Jiayi, are you going back now?

Suddenly I heard a staff member passing by talking.

Gu Nianbei turned around curiously and saw two women walking towards him. Gu Nianbei could tell at first glance that the woman leading the group was actress Liu Jiayi.

She was wearing casual clothes and a black hat, and was greeting the staff with a faint smile: Well, we're done for today.

As they passed by, Gu Nianbei heard her conversation with her assistant:

Are you going home or somewhere?

I'm not going home. I'm going to have a spa first and then meet someone. You don't have to follow me.

…

Gu Nianbei didn't stop, she went straight to the practice room mentioned by Su Yetong.

When I pushed the door open, I heard loud music coming from inside.

Nian Nian, you are here!

When Su Yetong saw Gu Nianbei, she came over and hugged her happily.

You are such a busy person, I can't even make an appointment with you on the weekends. Gu Nianbei said with a smile.

Su Yetong pulled Gu Nianbei to a corner of the practice room and sat down, saying: You know our industry, if we encounter an artist who is difficult to manage, don't even expect to have a vacation.

From your tone, it seems that you are not easy to lead? Gu Nianbei raised his chin towards the three dancing boys and said: You look a bit unfamiliar, can you introduce me to them?

SKY boy band, for the time being, has no big reputation, and the members are in the prime of their lives, very rebellious, and difficult to lead. Su Yetong sighed a little dejectedly and said: There is no way, I just joined the company, so I can only take these.

There are still infinite possibilities at this age. If you tap your potential, you might be able to lead a boy band leader. Gu Nianbei said with a smile, holding Su Yetong's shoulders.

Su Yetong: Thank you for your good wishes.

At this time, the music was turned off and the three boys collapsed on the floor.

Yuanhao, you lost the beat several times just now.

And Ke Zhen, you did this action wrong.

The dance teacher pointed out the mistakes that were made among them.

The boy named Shen Yuanhao complained: Teacher, time is too tight. I can’t remember the movements at all. Please simplify the movements for us.

Dance teacher: It won’t be interesting even if it is simplified any further.

Why don't you just design the movements to be more attractive? Whether it's interesting or not is not a question of whether the movements are simple or not. Ke Zhen retorted.

The dance teacher clapped his hands and said, "Come on, let's practice a few more times. You will remember it after practicing more."

I am so tired, I don’t want to practice anymore, said another boy Yuan Jie, very uncooperatively.

Seeing this situation, Su Yetong sighed and said to Gu Nianbei: You see, they are so lazy. The teacher was driven away by them several times, and it was me who persuaded them to come back in the end.

Gu Nianbei glanced at those people and pursed his lips.

Su Yetong clapped her hands, walked over and said to the three boys: Take a break for ten minutes, drink some water, wash your face, and come back to continue practicing.

Sister Ye Tong, please ask the teacher to simplify the movements. We have practiced them many times but we just can’t do them well. It’s too difficult. Shen Yuanhao said.

That’s right, we’re going to go on stage in two days. If something goes wrong, won’t you still have to ask the post-production team to edit it for us? What a hassle… Ke Zhen agreed.

You know it's troublesome, so just dance well. If you make a mistake, I won't clean up your mess. Su Yetong warned them angrily.

You are our manager, if you don't clean up the mess, who will? Ke Zhen laughed and said in a slightly sarcastic tone. The other two also laughed meaningfully after hearing this.

Su Yetong clenched her fists and was so angry that she wanted to curse.

Suddenly, a burst of sneer came from behind.

This guy isn't even famous yet, but he's already putting on airs. With this attitude, you won't even make it to the dawn and will be completely forgotten.

Gu Nianbei walked step by step to Su Yetong's side, glanced at the SKY boy band, and said sarcastically.

The boy named Ke Zhen's face turned red. He stared at Gu Nianbei and asked: Who are you?

Gu Nianbei smiled lightly and asked instead of answering: "What about you? Who are you? How about you introduce yourself to me first?"

Me! Ke Zhen was choked, and got up from the floor with a red face, straightened his back and said: I am Ke Zhen from the SKY boy band!

What kind of boy band is SKY? Does it have a representative work? What are they good at? Gu Nianbei frowned and continued to ask with a puzzled look on his face.

This series of rhetorical questions was simply a slap in their faces. Shen Yuanhao and Yuan Jie could no longer bear it and jumped up from the floor, but they were hesitant to speak for a moment.

Gu Nianbei looked at them, laughed out loud and said: Oh, are you a boy band focused on looks?

You can't even introduce yourself properly and you don't even have a famous representative work. Where does your sense of superiority come from?

You haven't even gone on stage to perform yet, and you're already thinking about asking your agent to clean up the mess. Then why don't you just go on strike? Gu Nianbei took a step closer to them and asked with a faint smile.

Gu Nianbei: You can't even perform such a simple dance. With your professional ability, you should go back to study liberal arts and stop being a stepping stone for other artists.

The competition in the entertainment industry is fierce. Don't think that you have a bright future just because you are signed to Feihua Entertainment. If you don't work hard, the company will abandon you in a matter of minutes.

The SKY boy band was so embarrassed by Gu Nianbei's criticism that they hung their heads and stood there without saying a word.

Gu Nianbei saw that the weather was about right and continued, "Are you still standing there? Time is precious. I advise you to seize the time and work hard on your dance moves. As long as you have the right attitude, even if you only have two days, it will be no problem to win a performance."

The SKY boy band instantly became full of fighting spirit. Without even taking a break, they turned around and followed the teacher to practice.

They were inexplicably lectured by a woman who appeared out of nowhere. The point is, when this woman was talking about them, Su Yetong didn't show any intention of stopping her...

While practicing, the SKY boy band silently guessed in their hearts: This woman might be a new leader of the company...

Gu Nianbei and Su Yetong then left the practice room. Su Yetong took Gu Nianbei's hand and said: You still have a way. Seeing you like that just now reminded me of how you worked. I miss you so much.

You can't indulge these rebellious kids. Instead, scolding them appropriately will boost their morale. Gu Nianbei said with a smile.

Judging from their condition, there shouldn't be any problem here, let's go eat something, Su Yetong suggested.

Okay! Gu Nianbei agreed happily.

But they had just taken two steps outside when Gu Nianbei's phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Gary calling...

Hello? Gu Nianbei answered the phone suspiciously.

You go back to the company.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Nianbei looked at Su Yetong apologetically and said: I can't have dinner today. There is an urgent matter in the company and I need to go back.

Su Yetong: It’s okay, then go quickly and be careful on the road.

Okay, let’s make an appointment another day.
