Because he was taking Lu Aileen with him, Li Shuo did not sit in the first row, but sat in a secluded corner of the third row under Nie Shuangying's arrangement.
The Drama Grand Prix competition started soon. Li Shuo didn’t watch much of the competition. He just chatted with Lu Aileen. The latter paid close attention to the competition. Whenever there was a different theme, he would always explain it to Li Shuo. , and it was also through Lu Aileen's interpretation that Li Shuo learned that this Drama Grand Prix covers almost all aspects of stage art expression:
Drama, drama, singing, recitation, etc.
Also, almost all students from other schools who are able to take the stage have already passed the first round of selection, so the quality of the performances on stage is also ridiculously high! Especially Li Ziqin, she directly put on costumes and performed a song "The Peony Pavilion", which contained a lot of tenderness and revealed the soul-stirring emotions. After the performance, the audience burst into warm applause!
While applauding, Lu Ailin said to Li Shuo: "As expected of the successor of Kun Opera, the winner of this Grand Prix is none other than Li Ziqin!"
Li Shuo smiled noncommittally and whispered "Not necessarily", but Lu Ailin didn't hear it.
……
Li Ziqin is not a proud person, but she is extremely confident in her performance. After performing perfectly on the stage, she returned to the backstage and soon received the title of "opera attached" A warm celebration from the students of the school.
"Qinqin, you performed well! This time you signed with Leng Yi, it's stable!"
"Don't talk about signing with Leng Yi, it is possible for our Qinqin to win the championship, she has the strength Well! ”
Amid the clamor of the students, Li Ziqin instinctively said modestly: "There are many outstanding talents in our Drama Academy. I calm down and accept that I am lucky to gain and lose my life. The process of participating in this kind of competition has been It’s a very valuable experience...”
This is actually not popular among young people, but the students know Li Ziqin well and know that she has a relatively calm personality, but there is a lot of chaos behind the scenes. Za, someone next to him immediately said disdainfully:
"Participation is the most important thing when participating in competitions only for people who have no ability at all! Those who participate in the Grand Prix are naturally rushing to win the prize!"
Everyone knows the speaker. She is Zhu Rongjun, one of the seed contestants in this Grand Prix. Even though she is from Jinling Art School, when she came, she had already been signed by Leng Yi in advance.
The biggest goal for ordinary art students is to be signed by Leng Yi! The biggest difference between it and commercial brokerage companies is that it will selflessly cultivate students, and the contracts are standardized, and it will not force its artists to stay. It is the best springboard for art students to enter the industry, no one else!
Facing Leng Yi artists, Li Ziqin retorted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "Of course I am here to win the award, but there are so many of us, who can 100% guarantee that we will win the award? Zhu Rongjun, you who have signed a contract say so "You can stand and talk without pain in your back!"
This girl was so smart that she divided the two fronts of "Lengyi contract" and "non-contract" in one sentence, so for a while, almost all the students around her looked at her. Zhu Rongjun's eyes were quite unfriendly.
Zhu Rongjun knew that Li Ziqin was the successor of Kun Opera and regarded her as her opponent in this Grand Prix. The reason she spoke this time was to attack Li Ziqin.
With a sneer on his face, he poured cold water on his face and said, "It hurts your back to talk? You're from the Drama School, but you don't understand the unspoken rules of the Grand Prix like me, who's from the Jinling Art School. Tsk, tsk, it seems I'm looking down on you." Now..."
"So Tell me, we contracted artists don’t know whether we can win awards, but non-contractors like you will definitely not be able to win awards! Because this is our Lengyi rule, otherwise, you will be treated as Lengyi. What is the game for? ”
Zhu Rongjun confused Leng Yi and Leng Wen here, but ordinary students naturally cannot understand the difference between the two. They only know that they are both cultural and art companies affiliated with the School of Drama.
"Zhu Rongjun, what are you talking about!"
"It's like making the Grand Prix a shady secret..."
"What kind of messy hidden rules, I don't believe it. ! ”
The camps Li Ziqin divided in one sentence took effect immediately. Countless classmates criticized Zhu Rongjun and wanted to drive her out immediately!
This woman cut off everyone's hope as soon as she opened her mouth. Isn't that what makes people hate her?
Li Ziqin looked thoughtful and felt that Zhu Rongjun's words were not without purpose, so he decided to go back and ask Li Shuo.
Li Shuo is actually Li Ziqin’s trump card. She has never told anyone that she is actually a signed artist of Shuoguo Culture. Compared with Lengyi, Shuoguo Culture, which operates commercially, has strict regulations on artists. In addition to the strict requirements, other aspects are even better.
Zhu Rongjun ignored these voices, looked at Li Ziqin, and said with a half-smile: "If you don't believe it, let's verify it with the scores later. I dare not say that I can get the first place in the preliminary round, but the ranking will definitely compare. You’re high!”
As he spoke, he glared at the students around Li Ziqin and shouted, “What’s the fuss about?”
The voice was so loud that it suppressed the voices of others, and then she turned around and left like a winner!
Li Ziqin appeased everyone and took the opportunity to gain a wave of popularity among the students. Then she took off her makeup and changed clothes. When she walked out of the backstage, it was already past 4 p.m., the first day of the Grand Prix. The preliminary round has ended, and all the guests and audiences off the stage have left, leaving only a few sparse classmates.
These are all contestants or their friends. Everyone is waiting for the results.
Everyone just waited until early 5 o'clock, and a list was released on the big screen behind the stage.
There was a "coax" from the crowd at Jinling Art School. When Li Ziqin saw the name "Zhu Rongjun" appear at the top of the list, he felt an unconcealable sense of loss in his heart.
"What!" "Why did that guy get the first place in the preliminary round!"
"I didn't pass the preliminary round. It's unreasonable!"
"Qinqin, congratulations, you passed the preliminary round. . ”
The students around Li Ziqin were wailing. Among them was one of her senior sisters who had not even passed the preliminary round. There were also friends who had accompanied her, and they could barely smile at her.
Yes, Li Ziqin only made it into the semi-finals squad, not even the top three! Judging from her performance on the scene, even if she is not from Leng Yi, she should at least be in the top three, right?
But no...
The cold reality is like an iron wall, enough to make ignorant young people hit their heads and bleed!
Li Ziqin took a deep breath, comforted the students around him, then walked out of the education and training center and dialed Li Shuo’s phone at the corner: "Mr. Li, I heard something unpleasant today. Good rumors... Then I saw that my preliminary results were barely at the bottom..." She told what happened here After explaining the matter, he complained to Li Shuo: "Maybe I am too proud and cannot accept this kind of achievement for a while. What do you think?"
Received At the time of the phone call, Li Shuo was having dinner with Lu Aileen. Hearing Li Ziqin's complaints, he raised his eyebrows!
Taking a deep breath, Li Shuo said: "I know the matter. There are indeed rumors about the Drama Grand Prix, but believe me, it is not as outrageous as the rumors spread. In the final analysis, we are meritocracy! Moreover, Li Ziqin , you are different from ordinary students, you With me and the company standing behind you, you will never encounter a similar situation again in the rematch, I promise!"
Emotionally speaking, Li Shuo could say more to Li Ziqin, and even tell her directly! , Don’t worry, I said, you are the champion!
But smart people will not make promises before the results are known! Furthermore, Li Ziqin is not Reba, and his relationship with him is limited to his boss and his artists.
Giving kindness without repaying it only exists in movies and TV dramas. Even if Li Shuo wants to use all his strength to help, he should always let the other party know that he has done it for her. Maybe it will not make Li Zi Qin's commitment to her body should at least make her loyal to the fruit culture directly full!
"Did something happen in the competition?" Seeing Li Shuo put down his mobile phone, Lu Aileen asked with concern.
"It's not a big deal, don't pay attention to it."
Li Shuo said vaguely and saw Lu Aileen's big eyes narrowed slightly. This was a sign of her curiosity and wanting to find out.
So he explained the hidden rules about Leng Wen hosting the Grand Prix.
After Lu Aileen listened, she said dissatisfied: "I have heard before that artists who are not signed by Lengyi cannot win awards in the Grand Prix. I didn't expect that it was Lengwen Company's idea, but most people can't If you win an award, you can't join Leng Yi. This is basically a case of putting the egg first and then the other. It’s an unsolvable problem that came first! When did the academy become like this!”
“Don’t be angry, it’s not just the academy, it’s like this in most places. If you are a judge, you would rather be your nephew. Easily pass or compete fairly with others? ”
"What you said makes sense, but I am not a judge. I hope that students can get a fair competitive environment!"
"Okay, I will listen to you. I will take care of this matter later... "
"Then tell me, what should I do?"
"Well, this..."
Li Shuo just coaxed Lu Aileen, and for a moment he was of course Don’t know how to start!
Seeing this, Lu Ailin said with some disappointment: "I thought you were different from others, but now it seems... forget it, let's not talk about it."
This woman actually got into trouble because of Li Ziqin's matter Angry!
Li Shuo was a little confused and wondered: "Li Ziqin is my artist, I will definitely worry about her, but it is you, what is the situation?"
"Nothing, I'm such a sentimental person!" Lu Aileen pouted, then put down the knife and fork in her hand without eating.
Li Shuo rarely sees girls lose their temper in front of him. The main reason is that the women he comes into contact with are all masters who are used to watching their words and emotions, and everyone follows him and relies on him.
But Lu Aileen is different. Because of her face, her life has been smooth sailing. Even if the studio has not been going well in recent years, it is because she does not want to take more advertising orders. In fact, Lenghai has a large number of bosses and rich second generations. , I am willing to place an order with her unconditionally, and even send money!
Two people who are favored by the world get along for a long time, and this kind of stubbornness will naturally occur.
Li Shuo was a little unhappy, but his reason allowed him to suppress his emotions and said with a smile: "It's just a small competition, no matter how big it is, I promise to handle it beautifully for you later!"
Lu Aileen also felt that she was on top. After hearing this, she lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Shuo, Ying'er often says I am too young and have always lived in my own art world. Maybe I am not suitable for having a boyfriend, because it is difficult to meet a man who is as emotional as me, especially about art..."
< br>Li Shuo stretched out his arms and pulled Lu Ailin into his arms forcefully. The latter immediately fell down obediently when she was vulnerable.
"What are you talking about? How can a woman be unemotional? Just let me make the decision for you about those rational things. Whether it's studio management or taking advantage of losses in daily affairs. As your boyfriend, I will naturally help you. It's all up to you! If you like this, then You give full play to your talents in this industry, and you will always remember that I am Li Shuo, and I can give you everything in the world!”
Scumbag men can not only make women happy, but also give women false security! Feeling, these two points often hit women’s vital points directly!
What makes women even crazier about Li Shuo is that not only can he say it, but he actually has the strength to do it!
"Hmm~"
Lu Ailin's eyes were filled with confusion. Before she could react, Li Shuo also lowered his head and came closer...
Apart from art, Lu Ailin's life is actually quite ascetic. The two have been ambiguous for such a long time, and Li Shuo has long been impatient. Now that he has seized the opportunity, he naturally takes the initiative...
Fortunately, Lu Ailin is not A conservative woman faced Li Shuo’s attack Not only did he not resist, his lotus-like arms actively hooked around his neck...
After the passionate kiss, Li Shuo struck while the iron was hot, hugged Lu Aileen, and said countless love words. Gradually, the two of them fell in love. When people walked out of the restaurant, the dark red Bentley happened to park in front of them.
During the afternoon Grand Prix, Lu Ailin had already seen Bentley and was surprised once. Now she was easily carried into the back seat by Li Shuo. Then Li Qinghe saw that "something was not good" and took the initiative to get out. They got out of the car and gave up their private space to the two of them.
Five minutes later, under Erin's resistance, Li Shuo finally stopped attacking the bottom lane: In this wave, he cleared the first and second bases in one go, leaving only the final baseline. This progress , he was already very satisfied.
On the other hand, Irene, after all, she has foreign ancestry and looks more European and American. She nestled in her arms and promised softly: "When the matter of the Grand Prix is over, I will give it all to you, okay? But you need to guarantee that the result of the Grand Prix will be , it cannot just be Li Ziqin who wins the award, but everyone in the public In a fair and equitable environment, culture and art can be better interpreted! Best of all, it can change the status quo of the Drama Grand Prix for a long time..."
"No problem! Look at me!"
In front of the beauty, Li Shuo patted his chest and agreed with great pleasure!
In the next 2 hours, Lu Ailin happily took him shopping and playing together. She didn't mind hugging and kissing me during the process, which was considered to be more than 90% of the progress opened to him.
But after sending Lu Ailin home, Li Shuo began to scratch his head: It is easy for Li Ziqin to win the award, but it is too difficult to meet Lu Ailin's requirements! Especially fairness and justice. Not to mention how many people's interests this will infringe on, even Li Shuo himself doesn't want to be fair. How can he achieve this?
Just when I was thinking about this, Si Jiawen made a rare call and said in an unusually soft and charming tone, full of temptation: "Brother Shuo, I miss you, come and stay with me~" (End of Chapter) )
