Chapter 153: PickPickPick i
Ichimoku has always taken the image and words and deeds of its artists very seriously.
No, not all the time, the reason may be traced to Huo Xingchao.
Huo Xingchao, when he first debuted, was young and vigorous. He was the kind of boy who was fearless and reckless.
Although he doesn't talk nonsense - because he is not too talkative. But expression management basically doesn't care.
When the reporter is interviewing, he sits in his seat, indifferent and lazy. He will only answer when he is asked. If the question is about something else, he will continue to play his microphone as if he didn't hear it.
And they XVII back and forth to the airport, many times there will be special news media waiting at the airport to take news pictures, for many stars, they will stop to take a picture for the media.
Even if it doesn't stop to shoot every time, most of the time it will cooperate.
After all, such a news map, when the time comes, let the team contact the media to repair it, maybe it will be a hot search spot again.
In any case, this is better than finding a photographer to pose for a photo by yourself.
But Huo Xing turned toward him—from! Come! Do not!
Every time I get to the airport, I say hello to the fans, then I immediately put on sunglasses and a hat, and strode forward.
Fifty percent of the pictures taken by the photographer are blurred, 30 percent are from the back, and there are only a dozen or so full-armed front and side pictures.
Therefore, during the period when XVII first debuted, it may be because the limelight was too high and the captain was too free and uninhibited. At that time, the negative news and the positive news were basically divided into half.
And more than half of the negative news is saying that the captain is playing a big name.
But what to do.
XVII was so popular at the time. Every time an album was released, eight out of ten songs were written by the captain. He alone raised the company's revenue by an unknown number of percentage points. Could the company really hide him? .
The idol group industry in mainland China is not as complete as the development of neighboring countries, and the company's control is far less powerful than theirs.
Fortunately, Huo Xingchao's talent is enough to support his willfulness. No matter which circle you are in, as long as your business ability reaches a certain level, you are allowed to have a little temper.
- However, the company has a psychological shadow.
Back then, the public relations department was simply heartbroken for Captain Huo.
Since XVII came out, with the improvement of the assessment level, the trainees in the future have higher and higher requirements on the image and expression.
Mount Tai collapsed without changing his face - this is the most basic requirement of the company for the image management of the trainees.
Because Lu Nan has always lived at the bottom, and the original owner of this body is not very motivated, he has never understood this point. When he saw the scene of Zhi Qian's face changing instantly, the whole person was stunned.
On the other hand, another roommate looked at her dumbfounded, a little sympathetic to her, and took the initiative to say,
"Well, I have shower gel, I'll lend it to you."
Lu Nan turned his head and nodded dazedly,
"Ah, well... well, thank you."
Zhiqian was applying a mask in the bathroom, the girl pulled out a bottle of shower gel from her box, handed it to her, smiled,
"Don't worry about it. Sister Zhiqian is like this. She speaks more directly, but she is still a good person. We didn't practice dancing well before, and she was always helping us."
"But isn't she tired?"
Lu Nan frowned slightly.
"Obviously I don't laugh very much, and I don't like to act like a spoiled child, but I act like that in front of the camera. Even if I can do it at the beginning, what should I do after a long time?"
"Eh?"
The girl was frightened by her sudden serious tone, and she didn't know how to react for a long time. She glanced at the bathroom and felt a little helpless.
After a while, he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Well, there's nothing you can do about it. If you want to debut, you can't always do what you want to do. People won't like your real appearance, so you have to shape your image a little... …”
This girl is actually still very young, and she has only been in one year for less than a year. She came to participate in this show and saw so many beautiful and unfamiliar young ladies and sisters. She was still a little nervous, so when facing people from her own company, I can't help but feel a sense of trust and speak more candidly.
And these things were all told to them by the teacher during class.
The teacher said that idols are different from actors and even singers.
Actors and singers are all people who stand by their own hard power.
But idols are different. In terms of acting skills, idols are definitely not as good as professional actors. In terms of singing, there are no professional singers who are outstanding. In the end, what an idol sells is a character design.
When singing, dancing, participating in variety shows, or even just sitting and listening to songs at the awards ceremony, you must do a good job of expression management.
"Look at the people around you, everyone is beautiful, everyone can sing and dance, and there are countless trainees just like you. If you don't have the strength to disdain the heroes, you must manage your own character well."
—This sentence is what the teacher said to them at the very beginning, and almost all the trainees at one glance remember it clearly.
But now it seems that the sister Lu Nan in front of her doesn't seem to care much.
Lu Nan pulled the corners of his lips,
"In that case, what's the difference between people and products, but it's just a fake image created by the company for you. Don't you get tired of pretending for a lifetime?"
"Not tired."
Zhiqian came out of the bathroom, her eyes fell on her lightly,
"Isn't it fake when the actors are performing. And when you become a company employee, can you live according to your own mind without any scruples?"
"..."
Lu Nan was at a loss for words. After a while, he thought of something, and retorted with a frown.
"But brother Huo Xingchao is not like this. He is also an idol, but he lives very real, and he is still very popular if he is different?"
Huo Xingchao.....Brother?
Why do you think so much about what fans call him?
Zhi Qian raised her eyebrows, and frowned when she saw her unconvinced face,
"If you think so, then you can just do it according to your own ideas. Why do you want to diss me?"
"Where can I diss you? I'm just asking."
"Okay, I won't bother you about this."
Zhiqian climbed onto her bed, and before closing the curtain, there was a light inquiry in her tone,
"Turn off the lights for an hour, okay?"
The two girls who had been silently listening to them nodded immediately,
"Oh, yes, yes, I can do it in ten minutes."
Zhiqian didn't say anything else, just pulled the curtains, isolating the lights and Lu Nan's unconvinced eyes from the outside.
......
In fact, what Lu Nan said was right, but what the teacher said was also right.
In this world, there is no one who can pretend not to be tired all his life, but there is also no one who can live as he pleases.
People come and go, no matter which industry they enter, they all dance with shackles.
If you are strong enough and your status is high enough, like Huo Xingchao, you don't need to rely on character design to attract fans' attention, you can untie a few shackles.
But even senior Huo Xingchao was not as arrogant as the public said, to the point of not caring about the rules at all.
There is one thing that the makeup artist sister told Zhiqian.
She said that Huo Xingchao didn't really care about many comments from the outside world, but as the star with the highest traffic, in this era of more and more younger entertainment, in fact, underage fans may account for 50%.
A lot of things have to be taken care of.
One day, a media accidentally took a photo of him smoking in a nightclub, but Huo Xingchao didn't pay attention to the negative news about him "smoking", "drinking", "bad boy" and so on.
As soon as he is an adult, why can't he do things that don't break the law and don't violate morals.
Second, the people who made these remarks might not be drinking and smoking when they typed these words.
But at that time, there was another comment. After he accidentally saw it, he was silent for a long time, and he never smoked in public since then.
The makeup artist sister can't remember exactly what the comment said, but she only knows that it means that Huo Xingchao, as a star, has so many underage fans, seeing his idol smoking, drinking and going to nightclubs, and he doesn't know if his outlook on life will be different. From now on, it will turn to such "bad behavior" as fashion.
This seems to mean a bit of moral kidnapping, but for some reason, Captain Huo was not affected by other more vile and vicious comments, but only read this comment.
The makeup artist sister said, "Actually, he is not as bad as you think. He is really a good boy. The most rare thing for people is that they can live their own lives and not be influenced by the outside world, but sometimes , and will change himself for the sake of others.”
......
Zhiqian wanted to be someone like Huo Xingchao not just because he was famous. It's more because, as Lu Nan said, he has the confidence to live himself, but always has a kindness in his heart.
She felt that the "idol" should be like Senior Huo.
The little girl huddled under the covers and looked at the WeChat ID entered on the WeChat screen. After hesitating for a long time, she still didn't dare to click to apply.
"Huo Xingchao"
- This is his WeChat name.
Concise and straightforward, without any twists and turns, it completely fits his character.
This micro-signal, Zhi Qian asked her makeup artist sister a long time ago.
But she never dared to add.
- Because there is no reason to add it.
But today, suddenly it seems to be happening again.
She thought about it and typed a few words:
Hello, Senior Huo Xingchao, I am Zhiqian. Received your ticket, thank you very much! Then......
Then, how should the reason behind it be written?
The little girl pondered for a while, but before she could understand it, she was caught off guard by the sound of WeChat's prompt.
- Your friend request has been approved.
......
Zhi Qian was still in a daze, but after a few seconds, a series of messages appeared on the screen like dominoes.
Huo Xingchao: No thanks.
Huo Xingchao: I want to ask you something.
Huo Xingchao: Do you want to perform on stage without a guest?
Huo Xingchao: In return, I can bring you some Thai specialties next time I record the show.
Huo Xingchao: Of course, if you've already been eliminated by then, just pretend I didn't say it.
Huo Xingchao: ? Are people still there?
......
Zhiqian pursed her lips and asked her sister, the makeup artist:
sister!
Sister sister!
There was a quick reply: what's the matter? It should be late at night in China, why haven't you slept yet?
Xixi cute: Do you want to call senior Huo Xingchao and ask him if he has lost his phone recently.
Sister ancy: What's the matter, you found his mobile phone?
Xixi cute: no...
"Ding Dong"
Huo Xingchao: Zhi Qianqian, I will delete you if you don't reply.
