Chapter 950 1050. Walking on Thin Ice
When Zhou Duoduo arrived at the box, Nie Wei was already sitting there, drinking coffee in a leisurely manner.
Seeing the waiter bringing Zhou Duoduo in, Nie Wei also ordered a glass of iced coconut milk for Zhou Duoduo.
Zhou Duoduo felt a little uneasy when she saw Nie Wei, wondering if her brother was going to scold her, after all, she was indeed wrong today.
However, since Zhou Duoduo entered the room, Nie Wei did not show any anger, but asked her some questions about her trainee life.
"It's pretty good. The dormitory is for two people. I heard that only students in Class A were eligible to live there. Brother, is this a benefit you gave me? My roommate is also very nice, warm and generous. He told me a lot of things that trainees should pay attention to."
"I also made a few good friends in Class C who I can talk to, including Mu Han who made the same mistake with me today..."
Speaking of this, Zhou Duoduo suddenly showed a cautious expression and asked Nie Wei softly: "Brother, can you also help Mu Han? She is really my best friend. I'm not asking you to look at her differently, but can this incident today not affect her?"
The reason why Zhou Duoduo asked this was that she heard Huang Ting say during dinner just now that bad performance during the trainee period may affect the consideration of the performance when joining the group in the future. Mu Han didn't care, but Zhou Duoduo took it to heart.
"Don't worry, just because she fought in front of you to protect you today, I won't let what happened today become a stain on her future assessment. Of course, this also requires her to be able to enter Class A and enter the girl group selection. It's too early for you to think about these things now, the rookie of Class C."
Zhou Duoduo heard being called a rookie again, but this time she was not angry, because it was her brother who called her that, and of course she would not accept it calmly.
"Humph, we will enter Class A sooner or later, brother, just wait and see."
"Then I look forward to it." Looking at his sister like a little fighting cock with high morale, Nie Wei smiled and stretched out his hand to rub her hair, causing the girl to be coquettish.
"I hope you can think about this today." After chatting, Nie Wei finally mentioned the key point of asking Zhou Duoduo out today.
Things happened. In Nie Wei's opinion, it was meaningless to scold Zhou Duoduo, not to mention that the girl was not completely wrong. At least choosing to resist in the face of oppression was right.
If she was a newcomer with no background, Nie Wei would call her stupid, but she is Zhou Duoduo, Nie Wei's sister, and she should not be bullied in the Chinese entertainment industry.
What Nie Wei wants to say is that there is something wrong with Zhou Duoduo's way of handling things.
"Duoduo, how do you understand the public image of celebrities?" Nie Wei suddenly asked.
"A good image?" Zhou Duoduo thought for a long time and gave an answer that she was not sure about. Nie Wei just smiled after hearing it. He never expected Zhou Duoduo to really explain this to him. After all, this is still a very distant thing for Zhou Duoduo.
"You are right and wrong. Of course, at least it is true for most stars."
"A star's public image is actually a label that attracts fans. Have you ever played an RPG game? This is similar to the attributes of those characters."
"Some stars have the attribute of fire, and their public image may be passionate and upright. Those with the attribute of water are gentle, introverted and low-key. There are also stars with the attribute of wood, who are gentle and meticulous. There are also stars with the attribute of steel, who are masculine and straightforward."
"Of course, there are also some stars with the attribute of dark, and those people with negative thoughts will especially like such stars and artists..."
"In short, for a star, the public image is his attribute. We are a girl group, and we also need idol members to establish their own public image."
"For example, Song Qian, our company gave her the label of gentle and meticulous plus cute. She can cook and know how to take care of people. This is her ability to magnify her gentle and meticulous label, and cute is the company's requirement. Idols cannot be too mature. Although I asked the members to call her Qian's mother, they didn't... If you really want her to be a "mother", her cute and youthful nature is the best neutralizer. "
"But if one day, the media suddenly reported that Song Qian bullied team members backstage, what do you think would happen?"
Without waiting for Zhou Duoduo to answer, Nie Wei gave the answer directly: "Even if the truth may be that the other party annoyed Song Qian first, or even just the two of them were playing around, the media will definitely add fuel to the fire. There may not be the truth with pictures, but there must be hot news, especially when you are more popular, there will be more such news."
"When this happens, the only result is that a large number of fans who were originally attracted by Song Qian's public image will leave because of disappointment, and her popularity will drop. If they want to rush up again, they will need to spend several times the price."
"Maybe you think this didn't happen, it's just my example, then let me give you another real thing. In 2008, Li Yapeng's "beating" of reporters was very fierce at the time. Do you remember it?"
"I remember." Zhou Duoduo nodded. In fact, needless to say, she also knew what Nie Wei was going to say next.
It was entirely the reporter's fault from the beginning. He almost pointed the camera lens at the child's face. No wonder the father was angry. This kind of person deserves to be choked.
But in the end, there was no winner. The reporter was beaten, Li Yapeng was detained and paid compensation. Although many people on the Internet supported Li Yapeng, many people also felt that he was too impulsive and ignored the safety of the children. In short, there was no winner in this matter.
Zhou Duoduo suddenly felt that the example given by her brother was very similar to her situation today. They were both provoked first, and then they all fought back, and the result was a double loss.
Looking at Zhou Duoduo's thoughtful expression, Nie Wei smiled: "It seems that you have thought it through."
"In fact, for today's matter, you only need to change the way you deal with it. Tell the teacher and let the teacher handle it. If the teacher is unfair, you can also go to the head of the department. If even the head of the department is biased, you can come to me. I want to see who dares to play favoritism with my sister in Huayi Company. If you want to be biased, you can only be biased towards my sister."
Zhou Duoduo was amused by Nie Wei's biased remarks and felt relieved.
"Don't think it's funny, I'm serious."
"You are Zhou Duoduo, my sister Nie Wei. No one can bully you in the Chinese entertainment industry, but it is inevitable that you will encounter brainless people. Facing a situation like today, what you need to do is to seek help. Now you can ask your teacher for help. When you debut in the future, you can ask your agent for help instead of rushing up stupidly."
"For any idol, fighting is obviously not a glorious thing. Remember, if you want to take this path in the future, you must be cautious in the future. Any impulse of yours may tarnish your future, and that's when your brother can't help you."
"Maintain your own image, and maintain it carefully, just like cherishing your own eyes. Remember the three words "walking on thin ice", which is your motto in the entertainment industry."
This is Nie Wei's advice to Zhou Duoduo, and it is also the main reason why he specially asked her to meet in the cafe today.
Zhou Duoduo understood what her brother meant by what he said to her, and nodded seriously. She was originally only entangled in her own mistakes, but now after being advised by her brother, she realized that today's actions were just a small mistake, but if she got used to doing this, she might make a big mistake in the future.
After finishing her coconut milk and listening to the advice, Zhou Duoduo wanted to leave. Nie Wei did not stop her, but took out three gift bags from his side and handed them to Zhou Duoduo.
"A gift for you. I know you have two good friends, so I bought the same gifts for them. The friendship during the trainee period is very precious, remember to maintain it well."
Zhou Duoduo smiled when she saw that there were gifts. She opened a gift bag on the spot and found that what Nie Wei gave her was a super cute little rabbit.
The rabbit is not expensive, but Nie Wei did ask someone to bring it back from the United States across the ocean. It is mainly a token of his heart. Moreover, gifts between trainees do not need to be luxurious. It is enough to please the little girl. For example, this little rabbit is a super safe choice in Nie Wei's opinion.
As expected, seeing such a cute stuffed rabbit, Zhou Duoduo simply couldn't let it go.
"Go back to the dormitory early, and don't fight in the future. I won't tell the elders at home about this, but if you get hurt in a fight again, I can't hide it."
"Okay, brother, I know." Zhou Duoduo waved her hand and hopped out of the coffee shop with three little rabbits.
Nie Wei waited for about ten minutes before leaving.
Zhou Duoduo's fight only caused a little commotion among the trainees. Even in the main building next door, few people paid attention to the small conflict among the trainees, and the isolated incident that Mu Han was worried about did not happen.
Apart from worrying about how to write a thousand-word self-review and whether it would be embarrassing to make a public self-review on stage, there was basically no change in their lives. Well, there was a change, that is, Zhou Duoduo gave her a rabbit doll, Mu Han liked it very much, and he would hug it to sleep every night.
Huang Ting also likes the doll Zhou Duoduo gave her, but she is more curious about Zhou Duoduo's relative. When giving gifts to her sister, he can also consider her friends. What a thoughtful and warm brother he is. He also understands the girl's heart very well. She likes the gift very much.
The girl is in love. After receiving the satisfactory gift, Huang Ting even began to have a little fantasy about Zhou Duoduo, the legendary brother. For two consecutive days, she wanted to get a photo of her brother from Zhou Duoduo. Seeing Zhou Duoduo's beautiful appearance, she thought her brother must be very handsome.
Unfortunately, after being noticed by Zhou Duoduo, she ruthlessly told Huang Ting that his brother was married, and Huang Ting was disappointed for a while.
Of course, the girl's feelings come and go quickly, not to mention that it was just a vague good impression, so Huang Ting's disappointment did not last long. With a ticket to Huayi's New Year's Eve concert sent by Zhou Duoduo, her heart was immediately filled with excitement, and there was no place for disappointment.
"Wow, Duoduo, your brother is so powerful that he can get tickets for Huayi's New Year's Eve concert. The tickets were sold out in half a day, and the seats are super good." Huang Ting took the ticket and looked at it with shining eyes.
Although this ticket is not a VIP ticket, the location is very good, not too far or too close, almost the best location except for the VIP area. She was really surprised and pleasantly surprised.
"Hahaha, he has some connections with the ticket company." Zhou Duoduo made a lame excuse, but Huang Ting believed it, and Mu Han, who also received the ticket, believed it too.
After all, if there were no connections, how could the tickets for such good seats fall into the hands of the three of them? The key is that the three tickets for such good seats are all consecutive numbers. It is not easy for others to grab one, but Zhou Duoduo's brother can get three consecutive tickets. This must be a connection.
"Duoduo, why did your brother get married so early? Otherwise, I must meet him and pursue him. Such a capable and careful man is simply the best boyfriend." Huang Tingting covered her chest and said with a crazy look.
"Don't dream." Zhou Duoduo glanced at her roommate lightly, thinking that she was daydreaming, and this guy actually wanted to be her sister-in-law. Zhou Duoduo silently gave her four words, naive delusion.
"Hahaha, Duoduo, you have given me two gifts, and I haven't given you anything yet. Why don't you come to my hometown to play during the Chinese New Year, and Lao Huang, you come too. I will cover all your food, drinks and fun at that time." Mu Han put his arm around Zhou Duoduo's shoulders and invited Zhou Duoduo with a generous look.
She was really satisfied with her new friend, not because of the two gifts, but because the way they get along with each other is very generous, without so many quibbles, which is very much to Mu Han's taste.
That's why she wanted to invite Zhou Duoduo and Huang Ting to her home to play, which was the most sincere invitation in Mu Han's eyes.
Zhou Duoduo was slightly moved when she heard this, just like a student knowing that he was going to summer camp, traveling with parents and visiting classmates' homes alone, even if the place is the same, the feeling is definitely different.
But she was still sober, this matter was not something she could agree to immediately, and she had to ask her parents before she could.
"Me too, I'll ask my parents first, but it's definitely not possible this year during the Chinese New Year. I haven't been home for half a year. My mom and dad always call and say they miss me. I have to go home. Why not next summer, we can go on a trip together again, and we don't have to go to your hometown. We can discuss a place we both like and then go there as a group." Huang Ting suggested.
"Okay, we'll go play together then."
When the girls started discussing their travel plans for half a year later, Nie Wei also gave Zhang Ziyi a VIP ticket for the New Year's Eve concert.
Thanks to 0773, Fantasy Paradise for the generous reward.
