Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"Holly, are you okay?" The two of them clinked their glasses and drank, then Zhang Yang refilled the other's glasses and asked.

"Hey" Yu Dongqing picked up the small glass again and drank it all before saying: "Guo Guo lost the competition and won't come to Yanjing!"

"What? Guoguo? Chen Guoguo? Is that the girl you saw at the Midi concert last year?" Zhang Yang was confused.

"Well, it's her."

Yu Dongqing told what happened recently.

Zhang Yang listened quietly without interrupting. Until Yu Dongqing finished speaking, he didn't want to joke around as usual, but asked seriously:

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Actually, I don't know either." Yu Dongqing played with the wine glass in his hand, looking confused: "I just feel so depressed."

"I think the girl did the right thing."

"Huh?" Yu Dongqing raised his head and looked at him.

Zhang Yang picked up a peanut and said slowly: "If Chen Guoguo comes to Yanjing, you two will definitely meet. What will you do then? Renew your relationship? Will there be any results for you?"

"Chen Guoguo is a good girl, but she is not suitable for you. I think she did the right thing. Breaking things off right away is good for everyone. It is good for everyone to leave good memories. I admire this little girl very much."

"But..." Yu Dongqing wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by Zhang Yang: "Let me tell you something more. The matter of Du Hui and her student was exposed by someone, and now it has caused a storm in the city."

"ah?"

Yu Dongqing heard that Du Hui and he brought a female graduate student together, but it was only secret and he didn't expect it to be made public.

"Fortunately, Du Hui is single now and the girl is already in her mid-twenties, so the impact of this incident is not too bad. However, teacher-student love is expressly prohibited by the school, so he was ordered by the school to temporarily stop teaching."

No wonder I haven't seen him in recent times.

"What happened next? What was the girl's reaction?"

"The girl openly admitted that she loved Du Hui and said that she would get married as soon as she graduated from graduate school. However, the girl's parents disagreed and even came to the school to find the school leaders. The school was also very passive. So far, this matter has not yet happened. solve."

"Why"

Yu Dongqing let out a long sigh, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"So, Dongqing, a high-quality man like you should find a woman to get married as soon as possible, so as not to keep girls from worrying about you. Not long ago, there was a scandal with a Hong Kong star."

"What a scandal, a bunch of entertainment reporters are so full that they have nothing to do." Yu Dongqing laughed and scolded, knowing that Zhang Yang was joking with him.

Talking to old friends makes me feel much better.

"Zhang Yang, I remember you told me that your friend's daughter also participated in the Happy Girls Competition. How was her result?" Yu Dongqing suddenly remembered something and asked.

"I was eliminated in the first round of the audition. Later I even listened to that girl singing. I really admired how she had the courage to sign up."

"Haha." Yu Dongqing laughed.

"Hey, Dongqing, there are people on the Internet saying that there is something shady about your audition this time!" Zhang Yang lowered his voice: "Someone paid to bribe your judges in order to advance and get a better ranking!"

"Really? You said that human relationships are inevitable, but I don't know which one you are talking about. Anyway, I haven't met them." Yu Dongqing answered calmly.

"Maybe someone will find you later. You are one of the four music critics in the finals!"

Yu Dongqing smiled and said nothing.

The Happy Girls Chengdu Division was an upset. Chen Guoguo, a player who was favored in the early stage, was eliminated due to her abnormal performance in the promotion round.

Many people analyzed that it was because she chose a new song in the promotion competition. The fans who called her felt sorry for her and urged her to fight again next year. Of course, there were also fans of other players who were gloating about her misfortune and started trolling online.

However, all this had nothing to do with her. She spent all day in the library and devoted herself to writing the paper.

The matter in the Chengdu Division had nothing to do with Yu Dongqing. He never watched the game again from that day on, and he had no interest in the entire competition.

He still gets up to send his daughter to school, runs and exercises, stays at home at noon, and occasionally goes to Liu Yimin's bistro in the evening to sit and drink beer in silence.

This afternoon, the real estate agent at Hujialou called and asked him to come over because he had something to do. He wanted to collect statistics on the rental situation.

After Yu Dongqing drove there in a hurry to finish her work, as soon as she left the property office, she saw a girl hurriedly walking towards her. She turned out to be Guo Xin, who was renting her basement.

Yu Dongqing had never seen her again since meeting her on the day she rented the house. This time, she was prepared to nod her head as a greeting and pass by.

But the girl greeted warmly: "Hello, Teacher Yu."

Yu Dongqing had no choice but to stop and reply: "Hello."

"Teacher Yu, I rarely see you in the community." Guo Xin said.

It seemed that this girl was a bit familiar, so Yu Dongqing had no choice but to say: "I have moved away."

"Oh no wonder, by the way, Teacher Yu, I see you are the music critic for the Happy Girls Finals. Music critic is quite hard."

Yu Dongqing then remembered that this girl was also a singer, and asked casually: "You also signed up?"

The girl's face darkened after hearing this.

"Yes, I signed up, but it's a pity that the 20th promotion to the 10th was eliminated."

"oh"

Yu Dongqing said oh without saying anything.

"Actually, Teacher Yu, I think I sing quite well, but the other person is more popular than me. The public judges are a bit biased towards her, which is unfair." The girl seemed unconvinced.

More popular?

Yu Dongqing glanced at the girl again.

The length is pretty good.

"It doesn't matter, keep working hard next year!" Yu Dongqing said without any pain or itch.

The girl wanted to say something else, but she couldn't speak anymore when she saw him like this.

Yu Dongqing said again that she had something to do and left in a hurry.

Perhaps the girl's complaint was right.

But this is reality.

How can there be so much fairness in the world? Especially in the entertainment industry.

The girl may not understand these principles, but it doesn't matter, life will gradually make her understand.

These are none of your worries.

It's mid-May, and all the regional competitions of Happy Girls have ended. All fifty contestants who participated in the finals gathered in Yanjing to compete in the more intense and cruel finals.

According to the rules of the competition, the top three selected from the five major competition areas will automatically enter the next round of competition. The remaining thirty-five players will then be divided into five groups by lottery, and each will compete. Four players will be eliminated in each group, and the remaining fifteen will be eliminated. The famous players will enter the top thirty together with the top three from the five major competition areas.

Then there are the top ten qualifying rounds, the top ten promotion rounds, and finally the championship, runner-up and third place.

In addition to Yu Dongqing, the final judges include independent musician Liu Weici, music critic Huang Zhengkai, who is known as a poisonous snake, and famous singer Liu Qing.

It is broadcast live every Friday and Saturday night. During the competition, Liu Weici and Huang Zhengkai often bicker and argue over a certain contestant. Liu Qing, as the only female judge, behaves politely and becomes the most popular judge.

Unlike the first two male judges who were sometimes ruthless in their comments, they even made the female contestants cry. Especially "Venomous Snake" Huang Zhengkai, during one of the finals, a contestant explained before singing that his voice was a little uncomfortable and he asked for your understanding if the singing was not good."

Huang Zhengkai expressed dissatisfaction on the spot: "Then stop singing and just leave." This immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction among netizens, who criticized him for being impolite.

Yu Dongqing is already used to it.

What is this?
