Chapter 69 Tan Yu's Defeat
Chapter 69 Tan Yu's Defeat
With the help of some music critics, the popularity of Shen Yuege's two new songs has soared even higher.
Shen Yuege has now fully cemented her status as a diva.
Starting with this album, no one will say that Shen Yuege is a "pretty face" diva who lives off one song for life anymore.
Meanwhile, as time went on, "The Summer Breeze" became one of the most popular songs on campus.
If a guy can sing this song when pursuing a girl, his success rate will be 30% higher.
The battle of the divas came to an end with the release of their final song.
Among the four main characters in this great battle, Shen Yuege became a true queen of pop.
Although Liu Siqi's popularity was overtaken by Shen Yuege at the last minute, her amazing album made her a rising star.
Although Xu Manlin was no match for the two above, her album was of high quality, and her reconciliation with Shen Yuege at the end earned her praise from fans for her integrity, which boosted her popularity considerably.
Only Weng Qingya and her company, Legend Entertainment, emerged as the ultimate losers.
In particular, Legend Entertainment has become a pariah after being exposed by some so-called insiders for deliberately suppressing Shen Yuege, signing unfair contracts, and blacklisting her.
But in this chaotic battle, there were two "outliers": Liu Jun, the singer of "Little Apple," and Lu Ran, the singer of "Rice Fragrance."
In terms of popularity, Liu Jun's "Little Apple" is in a league of its own.
It's not only a popular song for elementary school students to sing and dance on their way home from school, but it's also a favorite for square dancing.
This song is even played in many stores.
Compared to the songs of several divas, "Little Apple" has many festive elements, making its simple melody easier to remember.
Liu Jun's personal Weibo account has also seen a significant increase in followers in the past few days.
She has even rivaled many third-tier celebrities.
...
In the office of Starry Entertainment's eighth long-running drama series.
The Star F4 gathered together to rest.
Recently, the group of them have been working tirelessly on the script for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," doing all sorts of dirty and tiring work without complaint.
Their goal was to promote their department and hopefully land a role in the show.
After the first and second rounds of personnel screening, none of the candidates passed the assessment.
But compared to the other three who looked dejected, Liu Jun didn't seem to be in a particularly bad mood.
Liu Jun held his phone, constantly refreshing his Weibo feed, while boasting to the other three, "Brothers, I've gained more followers! I gained another 50,000 followers today."
"Hey, becoming a star isn't that hard. It's just a matter of singing a song."
The other three couldn't stand Liu Jun's smug attitude.
Ever since "Little Apple" became a hit, Liu Jun has been glued to his phone every day.
Unlike the previous song "How Lonely It Is to Be Invincible", the popularity of "Little Apple" was phenomenal.
"Damn it, get the hell out of here!" Tan Yu was the first to lose his temper with Liu Jun and yelled at him.
Originally, the Star F4 were a few playboys who just loafed around at the company. However, recently, due to the short drama "The Return of the God of War," the company's opinion of them has improved somewhat.
But in the end, they were still just four spoiled brats.
But Liu Jun became famous with his song "Little Apple".
He has even seen young female employees from the company come up to him asking for his autograph.
They're all spoiled brats, all rich kids from companies, and all follow Lu Ran, so why is it that Liu Jun can become famous while the other three can't?
Tan Yu felt a little resentful.
Most importantly, the four of them were repeatedly rejected by the production team, and were even passed over without even meeting the director.
When did Tan Yu suffer such torment?
He felt very frustrated because he had worked hard but had not received any reward.
The thought of giving up even popped into my mind.
Although Liu Jun was somewhat amused by Tan Yu's words, the uncontrollable smirk on his face still made the others very uncomfortable.
"Liu Jun, that's enough. At least consider how others feel." The most perceptive Sun Tianyu noticed Tan Yu's odd behavior and quickly criticized Liu Jun.
Liu Jun realized that he seemed to be getting a little too proud, but he was actually acting out of necessity.
These past few days, not to mention Tan Yu and his group, even Liu Jun would probably have considered giving up if it weren't for the song becoming popular.
Casting and filming a long-form drama is indeed not as casual as a short drama. The group of actors were initially very enthusiastic and thought they could achieve great things this time, but they got stuck at the very first step.
Just as the group realized their own limitations and were even preparing to face reality, Lu Ran walked in.
"Hey, all of you guys are here today." Lu Ran looked around and saw that all four members of the Star Glory F4 were there.
It's worth noting that since the filming of the short drama began, the group has rarely been together in the department. It's quite rare to see them all together so early today.
However, Lu Ran also noticed that the atmosphere among the group was a bit off. Apart from Liu Jun, who was in a better mood, the other three looked dejected.
"Brother Lu, do you think we're pretty useless?" Tan Yu, who couldn't keep a secret, spoke first.
"Oh? Why would you think that?" Lu Ran was somewhat surprised.
You should know that the previous group of people not only did not think this way, but also acted like they were invincible all the time.
"We wanted to play a few roles in 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' but we were rejected twice after auditioning," Tan Yu added. "All four of us were rejected."
The rejection of the four was not unexpected by Lu Ran, because only Zhao Dapeng had some acting skills, but only to a limited extent.
However, Lu Ran still planned to continue to learn more about the specific circumstances of the individuals.
"Have you auditioned yet?" Lu Ran asked.
"I tried, but none of them worked," Tan Yu replied disappointedly.
The problem is that even asking his father won't help; methods that used to work every time are no longer effective.
"Oh, what roles did you try out for?" Lu Ran asked casually.
"The Four Ghosts of the Yellow River," Zhao Dapeng answered first.
"Pfft!" Lu Ran couldn't help but spit out his saliva when he heard Zhao Dapeng say the words "Four Ghosts of the Yellow River".
You guys have absolutely no ambition.
They are, after all, young masters; they should at least have some class.
While it's true that the more important a role is, the more demanding the acting skills are, and the less important a role is, the less stringent the acting requirements are.
But there is another condition: the character himself must fit him.
Lu Ran felt that the group was heading in the wrong direction and decided to correct them.
Okay, I'll take you guys to try out the scene again in a bit, and you guys can switch roles.
Tan Yu, take a look at this first.
Liu Jun, this is fine.
Zhao Dapeng, you're good at this.
Sun Tianyu, just give me this.
Based on their characteristics, Lu Ran selected several relatively suitable roles for them.
Compared to the previous Four Ghosts of the Yellow River, Lu Ran felt that the new characters were more suitable for the group.
In the end, they are just a few young masters.
