China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 783: True Human Awakening

"Rocket Girls has been very popular in the past two years, it's a shame that they are disbanding like this"

Below the stage, Gu Wei and Long Danni stood together, watching the group of little girls who continued to dance passionately on the stage.

Back then, "Produce 101" was jointly created by "Wajijiwa" and Tencent Video. In the past two years, Long Danni was personally responsible for the various schedules and activities of "Rocket Girls 101". Now that the girl group she created is about to disband, she naturally feels a little melancholy.

Gu Wei smiled and said, "Although these girls debuted through [Produce 101], they all have their own management companies. Working for Tencent for two years according to the contract is a way of repaying the platform for promoting them in the first place. If they want to hold on to them any longer, the management companies will turn against them."

The [Produce 101] talent show is different from the previous "Super Girl" and "Fast Boy" shows, and it is not a talent show for amateurs.

The original 101 trainees all came from major domestic brokerage companies.

According to the agreement between the companies, platforms and program teams, the 11 people who will eventually debut will form a girl group, which is now called [Rocket Girls 101], and carry out various activities for a period of two years.

In the past two years, Tencent and Wajijiwa took the lion's share of the revenue generated by the girl groups.

For the agency behind these 11 little girls, two years of profit concessions are not a loss.

After the gilding of Rocket Girls 101, the fame and popularity of their own trainees have been qualitatively improved. After the girl group ends, it will naturally create more benefits for the original company.

"In fact, I still admire President Gu. She is an unknown little girl who used to work as an assistant. Not only did she debut as the third place in Produce 101, but now her fame is even higher than the entire Rocket Girls team combined. Few companies in the industry can match her marketing ability."

When the "Produce 101" talent show was first held, Yang Chaoyue was already very famous, but there were other people who were as famous as her at that time, such as Meng Meiqi who debuted as the center.

However, after just two years, the popularity of other girl group members has declined a lot, while Yang Chaoyue has left them far behind. The name "Koi" has spread all over the Internet. It seems that she has not done anything, but her fame has already broken the circle.

In the hit TV series "Joy of Life" which aired in the past two months, her outstanding interpretation of the role of "Ye Ling'er" made her fame and popularity more solid.

Long Danni is responsible for the work of 101 people in [Rocket Girls 11], and she is usually biased towards Yang Chaoyue, after all, the other party is Gu Wei's man.

But she knew that Yang Chaoyue was becoming more and more popular because Wei Ming Tian Xia had been providing him with resources and constantly marketing him on the Internet.

"Haha, President Long, you're too kind. Chao Yue is my person after all, and the company will certainly remember her when there are suitable resources.

As for marketing, Weiming Tianxia invests a special amount of funds every year into the publicity and marketing of its artists.

Although Chao Yue hasn't helped me make money yet, since I plan to support her, I won't lack money in this aspect.

And don’t you think she has a talent for being a star?”

"Yang Chaoyue?

I have been coaching her for two years, and I haven't found any advantages that stand out compared to other girl group members, but she has quite a few disadvantages."

Long Danni didn’t know what Gu Wei liked about Yang Chaoyue. Was it just her good looks?
There are so many good-looking female artists in the entertainment industry. Not to mention the girl group auditions, the actresses who graduated from major film and television schools can be considered beauties among ordinary people, and there are some who are more beautiful than Yang Chaoyue.

And Yang Chaoyue seems to be only good-looking. She is not very good at singing or dancing, and her acting skills are also average. Is it just because she worked as Gu Wei's assistant for a period of time and Gu Wei still has feelings for her?
Gu Wei smiled and shook his head: "Chao Yue is not from a high family and has no education, but she is a very smart person. I discovered this when she was my assistant.

Another thing is that she knows exactly what she wants and lives a clear life. This alone makes her better than most people."

Gu Wei recalled a conversation about Yang Chaoyue on a variety show.

A guest asked her if she wanted to have a relationship, and her answer was that she didn't want to have a relationship at all, she just wanted to make money.

'Good jobs are hard to find. Every year, thousands of college students enter the market to compete with you for jobs. Your boyfriend can find one whenever he wants.'

These are Yang Chaoyue's original words. Because of family reasons, Yang Chaoyue, who came from the village, is mature beyond his age.

Her goal in entering the workforce was very clear: she just wanted to make money.

"Finally, it is sincerity and down-to-earthness, which is the most important reason why many fans like her."

The two were chatting as the singing and dancing on the stage ended. The farewell ceremony entered the next stage. All the members of the girl group stood on the stage and took turns to step forward to give their farewell speeches.

Starting with Meng Meiqi, who ranked first, she reviewed every detail of her joining the girl group over the past two years, expressed her reluctance to leave the team, and choked up while speaking.

The same was true for the people behind. Everyone was very sad about the disbanding of the team. Tears rolled down their eyes as they spoke, and a sad atmosphere spread throughout the venue.

Finally, it was Yang Chaoyue's turn.

She had already started crying when she was listening to other people's farewell speeches in the team. By the time she went on stage, she could no longer hold back her tears. Her facial features wrinkled together and she began her speech in tears.

".Wow, sorry, Mr. Long, I'm not good at anything, but I'm the best at arguing with the boss."

As soon as she finished speaking, the sad atmosphere in the venue disappeared and everyone started laughing.

Long Danni in the audience couldn't help but smile as she looked at Yang Chaoyue: "Boss Gu is right, she is indeed very down-to-earth."

Gu Wei also looked at the stage with a smile. Some people can be liked by everyone just by showing their true selves. It is obvious that Yang Chaoyue is such a person.

".But the pressure on me was really too great. I just participated in a competition and I really didn't expect that I could be in a girl group for two years.

You don't know, it's like being woken up by your sister early in the morning and being told to go dance.

I said no, but she said Yang Chaoyue, you can do it."

Yang Chaoyue cried as he spoke, and everyone in the venue laughed so hard that the originally sad farewell speech seemed to have turned into a talk show.

“In fact, I have experienced a lot of controversy in the past two years.

They said how could Yang Chaoyue be in a girl group? I can dance like her.

I want to say that I set a good example for you.

You see, God doesn't necessarily only love smart people. There is a one in ten thousand chance that he will favor us stupid kids.

So don’t give up on your mediocre and stupid self, maybe God likes you.

He will make many people like you, and you deserve all that love."

This sounded quite inspiring, but she then changed the subject, as if she was thinking of something sad, and even her voice became hoarse.

“But this love is too heavy.

I have to get up and dance every day, and I am so anxious every day.

If I make a mistake in jumping, people scold me, but I want to say that I have really practiced for a long time.

But I don’t know why, but whenever I make a mistake on stage, I get so mad.”

Yang Chaoyue couldn't stop crying on the stage, and everyone else couldn't stop laughing.

But no matter how happy she is, everyone can feel the sincerity from her speech.

"Boss Long, how can someone like Yang Chaoyue not be liked?

Her own characteristics determine that she will definitely stand out and become popular, even if her professional skills are not good enough."

Long Danni nodded in agreement: "If we talk about her simply as an idol, she is undoubtedly qualified.

As an idol, as long as your fans like you, everything else is just a small matter.

Her personality is indeed likable!

But if you want to have a long-term future as a star, it is not enough to rely on fans alone."

Gu Wei understood what Long Danni meant. Domestic entertainment is different from Korean entertainment. There is no future in being an idol. After becoming famous, you can either transform into an actor or continue on the path of music.

It is obvious that Yang Chaoyue cannot be a singer, and as for acting, she is not very good at it at the moment.

"Take your time. She is still young. As long as she is willing to study hard, everything is possible."

[Rocket Girls 101 Farewell Ceremony] The entire ceremony was broadcast live on Tencent Video, and several related news items became hot searches that night.

Among them, the part where Yang Chaoyue expressed his gratitude was forwarded by many netizens.

"I'm not good at anything, and I'm number one in arguing with my boss" ranked fourth on the trending search list.

Many netizens felt that Yang Chaoyue was very much acting, and his farewell speech on stage was also a "performance."

However, more fans support Yang Chaoyue, thinking that she has encouraged many "stupid kids" with her inspiring journey of counterattack.

In any case, in two years, Yang Chaoyue has grown from an unknown assistant to a well-known idol with 1700 million fans on Weibo.

In 2019, she made it into the "Forbes China Celebrity List", participated in the filming of many TV series, and also performed outstandingly in the hit drama "Joy of Life".

Even though Rocket Girls 101 has disbanded, Yang Chaoyue has become a rising star in the domestic entertainment industry.

After the farewell ceremony, Gu Wei had a meal with Long Danni, Huang Zitao and others and returned to the hotel to rest.

After washing up, Gu Wei took the script of "The Crowd" and read it. The filming of this movie will start at the beginning of next month.

"The Crowd" is adapted from the Japanese movie "The Key to the Darkness". The script that Gu Wei got was very different from the original version played by Andy Lau, and was more similar to the Korean remake "The Key to the Darkness".

As I was watching, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Gu Wei felt a little strange, so he stood up, walked to the door and opened it.

"Chao Yue? Why are you here?"

Standing at the door was Yang Chaoyue, who had just cried wildly at the farewell ceremony.

"boss"

After getting off the stage, Yang Chaoyue changed into a white dress. Her face was slightly flushed. She stared at Gu Wei with her big eyes, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Gu Wei looked at Yang Chaoyue with a frown on his face.

"you've been drinking?"

“We had dinner after the show and I had two extra drinks.

Boss, I asked Sister Dan about your hotel room. I told her I had something to talk to you about. Don’t blame her.”

"Don't stand outside, come in."

Gu Wei let Yang Chaoyue into the room, walked to the living room, poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

"I don't have any honey. You just drank some wine. Drink some warm water."

"Oh well."

Yang Chaoyue took the cup with both hands and obediently took a big sip of water.

Gu Wei turned around and walked to the sofa and sat down, crossing his legs and looking at Yang Chaoyue in front of him.

"It's not too late yet. I guess your Rocket Girls 101 farewell dinner shouldn't be over yet, right?"

"I told them I had something to do, and I left early after having two drinks~"

"Your team has disbanded, and it will be difficult to get together again in the future. Why are you looking for me if you don't want to stay with everyone for a while?"

Yang Chaoyue took a step forward with the cup of water and got closer to Gu Wei.

"Boss, I'm here to thank you."

Gu Wei was a little amused: "Thank me for what?"

“I said a lot at the farewell ceremony, most of which were my true thoughts.

But there is one thing I said that is different from the facts.

I know that the reason I can be liked by everyone and have the fame and popularity I have now is not because of God’s one-tenth of favor, but because of your favor, boss.”

Gu Wei smiled.

"Chao Yue, do you remember when you were my assistant, I asked you if you wanted to be an artist?"

“Yes, I remember it very clearly.

But at that time I didn't dare to even think about it. I felt that it was God's help that a girl from the countryside like me could become your personal assistant, see the world with you, and get a high salary every month.

As for becoming a star, I didn’t even dare to think about it at that time.”

As Yang Chaoyue spoke, his thoughts seemed to go back to the time when he was an assistant three years ago.

“In fact, I could see at that time that you were very suitable to be a star.

First, you are beautiful and have a good foundation. Second, you are mature and sober beyond your age, and you dare to think and do.

Gu Wei already had a premonition of what the young assistant was here to do.

"Your popularity is largely due to your likable personality. I just helped fuel the trend from behind, but I didn't contribute much."

Yang Chaoyue took another step forward.

"Boss, I feel ashamed when you say I am mature and sober, but I do know my own worth.

I don't have many advantages, but many disadvantages. In comparison, I am not as good as my teammates.

The current popularity and fame are only due to the support of the company behind me and the support of you, the boss.

So today, on the special day when the girl group disbanded, I came here specially to thank the boss."

As she spoke, Yang Chaoyue put the cup of water on the coffee table beside her, pulled the zipper behind her with her backhand, and with a gentle tug, the white dress on her body slipped to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, a body full of youthfulness and graceful curves appeared in front of Gu Wei.

Gu Wei did not have any drastic reaction to this. He kept smiling and leaned back with his arms folded. He had expected this when he first met Yang Chaoyue.

"Very beautiful, have you thought about it?
Thank me with yourself?
In fact, there is no need for you to do this. You are an artist under my company, and it is normal for me to support you.

You have been my assistant for two years, you should know that the last thing I lack around me is beautiful women."

While Gu Wei was talking, Yang Chaoyue took off the last piece of clothing covering his upper body and clasped his hands across his chest. The blush on his face from drinking deepened, and even his fair skin turned a little red.

She did this after careful consideration, thinking about it countless times, and after making the decision, she drank some wine to give herself courage.

Two white and slender legs were crossed together, and then she took two steps forward and sat directly on Gu Wei's legs.

“I thought very clearly, I liked the boss.

But before, I was just a little assistant, an ugly duckling, and I didn’t dare to have any extravagant hopes.

Now I am a famous female star.”

Gu Wei put one hand around Yang Chaoyue's slender waist and the other hand on her round and white thigh.

He could feel that although Yang Chaoyue spoke very well, goose bumps appeared on the other person's delicate skin the moment he put his hand on her.

However, Yang Chaoyue had no intention of refusing. He even opened his hands that were on his chest and put his arms around Gu Wei's neck.

"Boss, I don't ask for anything, I just want to thank you."

Gu Wei placed his hand on the other's thigh and rubbed it twice, then slowly climbed up, thrust it forward on the flat belly and continued to rise.

Yang Chaoyue's face became redder and redder, and his eyes became more and more blurred.

"You like being a star, don't you?"

Gu Wei lowered his head and kissed the other person's fair neck, then moved to her ear and suddenly whispered something.

Yang Chaoyue's originally blurry eyes suddenly became clear.

She turned around, put her arms around Gu Wei's neck, pressed her upper body against him, and became more passionate than before.

“Although I said I was very stressed and anxious on stage, I really like being a star.

For more than two years, I have become accustomed to this kind of life of being sought after.

I want to be a star forever, like make a lot of money.

I am stupid, I don’t know anything and I can’t do anything well. I don’t have much, only myself.”

The two of them were whispering to each other, and as he listened to Yang Chaoyue's words, the corners of Gu Wei's mouth curled up slightly.

He was absolutely right. Yang Chaoyue was mature and clear-headed beyond his age.

The other person coming to you to thank you is only one aspect, and liking you is also part of it, but this is the most important thing.

Yang Chaoyue was too clear-headed. She knew that there was no love without reason in this world, and if you wanted to get something, you had to pay for it.

Although Gu Wei didn't say anything, she knew that all she could give was herself.
But this is not a bad thing for Gu Wei. He is not Liu Xiahui. How could he refuse such a fresh and delicious little assistant who came to him on his own initiative?

As for the other party's request, it was too simple for Gu Wei.

With Yang Chaoyue's current popularity, he can ensure that he will continue to be popular by just making some plans and providing some resources.

Not to mention becoming a superstar, being a second- or third-tier female star in the entertainment industry is easy.

Sensing Yang Chaoyue's immaturity, Gu Wei was gentle with her for a while, then stood up, picked her up and walked towards the bedroom.
