After the first performance, the program team specially arranged a day of relaxation time, saying it was used for the trainees to communicate with each other.
Lu Xu and the others changed into their regular clothes and came to the practice room. They saw the instructors wearing cool clothes and sunglasses, which looked a bit like a beach party.
"Wow, is this a themed event today?"
"Don't tell me, I haven't been out since I came to the training camp. I really want to go out and see the scenery."
"If you want to see the scenery plus one, you can even dream of going out for some fresh air."
...
The concept of fully enclosed training was given before the program was recorded, and the trainees were informed before entering the apartment. But after staying in one place for a long time, it's normal to occasionally want to go out and take a look.
Just when they were talking about whether today was a themed party, Qin Kewei suddenly took off her sunglasses, bent her eyes and smiled and gave a new notice: "To celebrate the success of your first performance, the program team specially spent a huge amount of money to prepare for everyone. A feast between the sea and the sky..."
The idea of "spending huge sums of money" is usually for the sake of program effectiveness, so everyone just laughs at it and doesn't take it too seriously.
However, Qin Kewei's next words made their tense nerves suddenly become excited: "The program team has rented a cruise ship on the East China Sea. Today, everyone can relax and have fun on the beach."
"!!!"
"My dream has come true?! Can I really go out?"
"Ah ah ah, cruise ship! Long live the show team!"
.....
When they learned that they could go out to play, the trainees immediately cheered.
However, it is a group of young people who are in their early twenties on average. They are naturally happy to finally be able to go out and have fun.
The trainees left the apartment according to their classification, only to find that the bus had been waiting at the door of the apartment early.
Lu Xu originally wanted to join his teammates, but was suddenly called over by the coordinator.
"Xiao Xu is here." Fan Zeng was originally discussing something with Ji Xiunian, but he couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lu Xu coming over.
"Good morning, Brother Fan, good morning, Brother Nian." Lu Xu walked forward quickly and greeted the two of them politely.
"Good morning." Ji Xiunian looked at Lu Xu and stepped forward with a smile, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
"Xiao Xu, there are two commercials today and I need you to take them."
At the beginning of preparations for "The Birth of an Idol", many brands said they wanted to sponsor the show. However, at that time, the prices they offered were about the same, and they didn't think the trainees would be popular. The brands used their own former spokespersons.
Now that the ratings for the two episodes have continued to rise, there is now a new financial backer, dad, who is spending money to get the naming rights. Another thing the two families have in common is that they both take a fancy to Lu Xu and ask him to speak for them.
For example, SK's facial masks focus on rejuvenating and hydrating, so Fan Zeng thought of arranging for current trainees from Class A to come over for filming. Lu Xu is both a popular king and a spokesperson requested by investors, so he is naturally also a C-position in the advertisement.
"In addition to SR's facial mask, you also have a DR's perfume commercial to shoot today."
"Dr? Isn't that the one that Brother Nian endorses?" After hearing this, Lu Xu subconsciously went to see Ji Xiunian, feeling a little surprised.
As an internationally renowned luxury brand, DR has relatively high requirements for selecting spokespersons.
Looking at the entire country of China, Ji Xiunian has been invited to speak for him in the past two years. The Huaguo spokesperson among them is only domestic, but Ji Xiunian is different from others. He signed a global spokesperson for the first time he cooperated with DR.
This means that the advertisements Ji Xiunian shot for DR are not only released domestically, but this black-haired and yellow-skinned Chinese can also be seen on major foreign platforms.
At the beginning, Lu Xu adhered to the concept of "know yourself and the enemy and you can fight a hundred battles without danger" and kept all the information in Ji Xiunian's mind. It was also because of this that when Fan Zenggang mentioned DR's perfume, Lu Xu immediately thought of Ji Xiunian.
"Hahaha, look at it and I'll tell you, Xiaoxu, you are really a die-hard fan of Xiunian." When mentioning a brand casually, the first reaction is not to be happy but to think of Ji Xiunian. This is the behavior of fans.
Ji Xiunian was in an unexpectedly good mood when he heard this, and nodded gently: "My cooperative brand is good."
Lu Xu was even more confused when he heard this, not knowing what it meant.
Fan Zeng smiled and explained: "As you know, DR used to only look for Xiu Nian to shoot commercials. But their general manager of Central China accidentally saw your performance and wanted you and your brother Nian to shoot for their new products. Let's make a commercial together."
"Am I cooperating with Brother Nian?" Lu Xu asked Fan Zeng, but his eyes fell on Ji Xiunian. Shooting an advertisement itself doesn't appeal to him, but if it's with the target person, that's another matter.
How did Fan Zeng know that Lu Xu's talent show was a part-time job? When he asked this, he thought he had accepted Dr.'s endorsement at a young age and couldn't react.
"Yeah, I'm working with your brother Nian on DR perfume. How about it? Are you very happy and want to go shoot now?"
Fan Zeng asked so straightforwardly that Lu Xu couldn't say much. He just looked at Ji Xiunian with a bright smile and said, "Yeah, it's super fun to work with Brother Nian."
Then I thought about it, no wonder the program team was willing to spend huge sums of money to rent a cruise ship. It turned out that it was just to shoot an advertisement.
There is really no one like Fan Zeng who has the economic acumen.
Just as Lu Xu was thinking about it, he heard Fan Zeng on the other end suddenly sigh: "Hey, hey, the news of Lan Gaojie's retirement will soon be out of control, and I don't know how the fans will react. You said that Lan Gaojie is the same, The competition was good, and it's on the rise again. It's no big deal that you have to quit the game just after gaining some fans."
Most of the time, Fan Zeng sits behind the scenes and doesn't communicate much with the students themselves.
So I don't have any particular bias or favorite players. What he looks at is not how the players were before they came, but how they performed after participating.
Of course Fan Zeng values a player like Lu Xu who is good-looking, capable and the first in two rounds. In addition, players like Lan Gaojie who have risen from F to A and have countless topics are also very popular with Fan Zengqin.
Although Lan Gaojie lost to Lu Xu in the voting yesterday, this in itself will not affect the final result.
If Lam Gaojie can continue to grow in popularity as he is now, he might be among the final 11 debuts.
But who would have thought that after losing just one game, Lan Gaojie fainted and was sent to the hospital and never came back.
"Did he say why he retired from the competition?" Lu Xu pretended to be confused and wanted to know how Lan Gaojie planned to deal with his death.
"It's harmful!" Fan Zeng shook his head at the moment, and said with a bit of resentment, "What can I say? I just made a phone call and said I wanted to withdraw from the competition. I thought about trying to persuade him, but I was still impatient and asked him why. He just said yes. I didn't mention other personal reasons. You said that our draft is not just a house game. Since we have all signed up to participate, even if there is something that requires us to withdraw from the competition, it is appropriate to come and talk about it..."
Fan Zeng was indignant and felt that Lan Gaojie was just making trouble.
His popularity is not low, and he doesn't know what his fans will think when he suddenly announces his retirement.
Fan Zeng said so much, but Ji Xiunian frowned, obviously struggling with something: "Brother Fan, did you contact Lan Gaojie again later?"
Fan Zeng didn't know why: "I contacted him. Someone answered the phone the first two times, but I couldn't find anyone after that."
Ji Xiunian frowned even more when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask again: "Are you in contact today?"
"I haven't contacted you yet today, and I don't plan to contact you. Just retreat. Anyway, I will never consider cooperating with him again in the future."
Lu Xu stood nearby and listened to the two of them talking, his eyes involuntarily stopping on Ji Xiunian.
Most people would be either sad or angry when they hear the news of a player suddenly withdrawing from the competition, but Ji Xiunian was different. When Fan Zeng mentioned Lan Gaojie, Ji Xiunian looked complicated, even worried.
Lu Xu couldn't help but wonder if Ji Xiunian knew something.
Finally, when Fan Zeng went to see the camera, the two of them had a brief moment of alone time.
Lu Xu tilted his head, looked at Ji Xiunian and asked curiously: "Brother Nian, I think you just seemed to have been thinking about asking Brother Fan and the others to contact Lan Gaojie. Is there any reason?"
Ji Xiunian couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this. He originally planned not to tell anyone else. But facing Lu Xu's face, he couldn't lie. He hesitated and said slowly: "I don't know why, but I always feel that his time is running out. Alas, I hope I am wrong."
