Chapter 635 Harmonious Retirement

"Ouba is going to be the president?!"

No exaggeration, it took Li Zhien a full 10 minutes to react to it after eating.

"That's right, and this will happen soon." Zhu Ziren replied.

"Then why are you wasting time on me!" Li Zhien patted Zhu Ziren's arm excitedly, "Hurry up and study hard with President Hong and take over his position as president!"

Zhu Ziren smacked his lips: "It's not bad to stay with you for a couple of days, and it will be the end of the year in a while, we don't have much time to stay together, I advise you to cherish the present."

"And" Zhu Ziren asked Li Zhien's face, "Why are you so excited when I become the president? I am the president of Cube Entertainment and not the president of your LOEN company."

Speaking of "before", the relationship between Cube Entertainment and LOEN Company is still very close to a certain extent. After all, they are both generals of the same kakao department, but in terms of status, it seems that LOEN Company is a bit higher.

"Although he is not the president of our LOEN company, he is also the president of a big company." Li Zhien said excitedly: "This is enough for me to go out and show off!"

Zhu Ziren was a little speechless: "Is it just that useful to you?"

"Then what else?" Li Zhien rolled his eyes, "What do you think you are useful for? After becoming the president, I can have something to talk with others when I am on the show."

"Okay, I'm ready to watch TV." Li Zhien didn't bother to argue with him, ""Produce 101" is about to start, let's watch it together."

"Is today already Sunday?" Zhu Ziren was taken aback, "How does time go by so fast?!"

"Because you've been very busy recently. Although you say you're busy, in fact you don't even have half a day to spare." Li Zhien calculated for him, "Things about TV dramas and movies, and various industries Between things, things between cube entertainment, and the time spent dealing with other people."

"I don't know if Ouba enjoys it, but I know that if you keep working at such an intensity, your body will be the first to fail." Li Zhien said solemnly.

"Well, thank you for reminding me." Zhu Ziren nodded, "But my next main thing is to study with President Hong, and this period of time should be relatively relaxing."

"You know whether it's easy or not, anyway, I can't bear anything for you." Li Zhien said heartlessly: "Come on and watch TV, the beautiful sister I like is coming out!"

The beautiful younger sister that Li Zhien likes refers to Kim Ji-soo, the person who is rated as the most handsome among the trainees.

In "PRODUCE 101" back then, who was such a person?Zhu Ziren seemed to have a special impression of that man, but he didn't remember it very clearly, because the so-called number one appearance didn't seem to bring any great benefits to anyone.

"It's not bright enough." Li Zhien looked at it and suddenly sighed, "Ouba, can she still make her debut?"

"As long as you don't get eliminated before the last round, then there's no big problem." Zhu Ziren thought for a while, and changed his statement, "It doesn't need to be the last round, as long as the next round is the round of position evaluation that is being recorded now, she held on." It'll be fine."

"What is the current round of recording? What is the next round?" Li Zhien asked curiously.

"The next round is a single evaluation that divides the trainees into three positions: lead singer, rap, and dance. Just like the literal meaning, only the ability of a single position is evaluated."

"The next round is the theme evaluation. The producers produce songs. After forming a team, everyone randomly gets a certain song and digests it, making it their own performance."

"The last round is the debut evaluation. At that time, we will become a live broadcast. Whether we can debut depends on everyone's votes, and has little to do with other things."

Zhu Ziren briefly explained.

"Then why is the position evaluation the most dangerous?" Li Zhien asked.

"Because of Jin Zhixiu's ability, she can only go to the lead vocal group, but the lead vocal group is not easy to kill." Zhu Ziren sighed, "Among the trainees who came this time, there are too many people who can sing Almost all her advantages in it are gone."

"At least you have a pretty face." Li Zhien said nonchalantly, "For some people, as long as they have a pretty face, everything is enough. This is also an advantage."

"So there is still a high possibility that she will come out." Zhu Ziren relaxed a bit, "If she comes out this round, everything will be smooth."

"Theme evaluation is the most advantageous evaluation for trainees of large companies, because the trainees of large companies are better at digesting themes than the trainees of small companies, which makes no sense."

"Well, it's actually not unreasonable. The trainees of large companies usually have more exposure to various theme projects, and sometimes they can see the exercises of their seniors and absorb their experience, but the trainees of small companies don't have that kind of resources. of."

"So after this theme evaluation, there will only be 22 trainees left. Among these 22 people, they are either players from big companies with stable and outstanding strength, or dark horses with outstanding talents who have improved their abilities to be on par with trainees from big companies , how good the final debut evaluation will be can be expected."

"To be honest, I can guess who these 22 people are." Zhu Ziren spread his hands, "But no one can give the answer in advance who will make his debut."

"It seems that the show's requirements for trainees still have a theme digestion ability that is placed on the back?" Li Zhien's eyes lit up, "Interesting, and by the way, I also understand why Oppa won't let big companies come in the future." Participated in the game."

"The ability to digest the theme is an implicit requirement that everyone has for idol groups. Every idol group has to do this." Zhu Ziren explained: "This is not mentioned on the show because it is more high-end. Players in the entertainment industry will notice this, and our audience may not be that high-end."

"However, we have said that the goal of our program is to create a first-line idol group, so of course the ability to digest the theme must be assessed." Zhu Ziren added.

"Also." Zhu Ziren looked at Li Zhien with interest, "Tell me, why don't I plan to let big companies participate in the future?"

"Big companies have too much of an advantage in the future, and the theme evaluations have an advantage. When it comes to the final debut evaluation," Li Zhien shook his head, "I don't think trainees from large companies will lose to small companies in the vote."

"It's almost like this." Zhu Ziren patted Li Zhien's head in relief, "You can teach a child."

"By the way." Li Zhien suddenly thought of something, "Wouldn't all the people from your three big companies make their debuts in the end?! That would be a big blow to everyone."

"If the blow is not small, then the blow is not small. Could it be that our big company wants to get rid of its own people?" Zhu Ziren curled his lips, "Then what is the meaning of our existence? Let's watch TV."

After half an hour.
"Ouba, why did she retire? Didn't you get her out?"

Li Zhien pointed to Li Xiuxian who was saying goodbye to everyone on the TV and asked.

"Well, of course she doesn't count, she ran away by herself." Zhu Ziren retorted.

"But why did she run away?" Li Zhien was puzzled, "Although she is really not good at dancing, she will definitely not be eliminated this time, right?!"

"That's right, I won't be eliminated this time, so I have to eliminate myself as soon as possible." Zhu Ziren said in a helpless tone, "No one thinks that Li Xiuxian really wants to debut on this show, right? It's not necessary at all! She retired because she couldn't run anymore if she didn't run!"

Yes, after this evaluation, the position evaluation will definitely not be able to stop this singer, and the subsequent theme evaluation will definitely be able to pass smoothly. No one will think that Li Xiuxian will suffer a loss in the final voting battle, right?
So, Crooked Chicken Company is also very clear that it will be difficult to find a reason for Li Xiuxian to leave if she is not allowed to run now, and this opportunity must be seized.

You see, just 2 minutes after the picture on TV was broadcast, the official announcement from Crooked Chicken Entertainment came.

The whole content of the announcement is not important. The meaning is basically that our contestants left the show because they felt that they were not suitable for girl groups and more suitable for band singers. I am sorry for everyone's expectations and votes. What.

The comments below the announcement were also harmonious, and Lee Soo Hyun's own fans and fans from other places sent blessings one after another.

It is indeed a blessing.

Lee Soo Hyun's fans already felt that their own artists were not suitable for girl groups, so it is definitely a wise move to quit the show now. As for fans from other places, they should be thankful that their favorite trainee has lost a strong competitor.

Anyway, the only ones who are confused are the audience who don't participate in anything and just watch the show.

"Ouba, the final voting result is out, Shi is No.1, what do you want to say about this?" Li Zhien played a reporter who was interviewing.

Zhu Ziren shook his head: "I have nothing to say."

There really isn't much to say.

This is a competition show. Apart from the basic elements of strength, the other thing that needs to be competed is the popularity of the audience, and there is no need to doubt how likable Jin Shizheng is.

I didn't mean to say that other trainees are not good at this, but Jin Shizheng is indeed very strong.

"After watching the show, why don't you go out and have a drink? Anyway, today is the Double Ninth Festival."

At the end of the show, while the commercials were playing on the TV, Zhu Ziren put forward a new suggestion.

"Okay." Li Zhien agreed straight away, "Today is both Sunday and a holiday, there must be a lot of people on the street, if we go out together, it won't be eye-catching!"

"Then let's go." Zhu Ziren smiled and took her hand, "It's almost time, it's time to prepare winter clothes for myself."

……

It's relatively easy to go shopping with Li Zhien. The little girl's sponsorship means she doesn't lack anything in clothes. She is more enjoying the feeling of being with her boyfriend.

"Ouba, there seems to be a street performance over there, do you want to see it?"

Seeing something lively on the street, Li Zhien hurriedly dragged Zhu Ziren to see it.

"It's them." Zhu Ziren walked a few steps and recognized the girl group AOA performing.

In fact, it can't be called a performance, it just caused a little shock after filming the show and leaving here. It's not clear whether it was the company's intention or an employee's mistake.

"Who is Ouba?" Li Zhien looked up at him pitifully, "I can't see, the people in front are blocking it."

"I'll carry you on my back, you look straight up."

Zhu Ziren said as he squatted down with his hands behind his back.

Li Zhien judged the height and carefully put both knees into Zhu Ziren's hands, and put his arms on Zhu Ziren's shoulders to stabilize his figure.

"I'm ready for Ouba." Li Zhien signaled.

Zhu Ziren who received the signal naturally stood up cautiously. Thanks to his decent height, Li Zhien also saw who the person over there was.

"I'm a member of AOA, no wonder there are so many people watching." Li Zhien sighed.

"You know them?" Zhu Ziren was curious.

"Yeah, who do you think I am?" Li Zhien pressed her body on his head in dissatisfaction, "It's an artist who debuted while I was hosting "Inkigayo", how could I not know him?!"

"It's good to know each other." Zhu Ziren has nothing to babble about, "Do you want to come down? I've seen it."

"Come down, this is too eye-catching." Li Zhien slid down Zhu Ziren's back, "Fortunately, everyone's attention is on the artist, otherwise I think we might be on the headlines tomorrow."

"That's not true. On the streets where young people gather at night in South Korea, there are many couples who do more exaggerated things. No one will find it strange." Zhu Ziren said indifferently.

"Ah, that makes sense." Li Zhien didn't bother to worry about it anymore, "Ouba, I'm a little tired, let's go home."

"Okay, go home."

……

About 10 minutes after arriving home, Zhu Ziren received a photo from Agency D.

"Zhien, come here quickly, I'll show you something nice."

Zhu Ziren hurriedly called Li Zhien to come and see.

"What's the matter, Ouba?" Li Zhien, who had changed into her pajamas, hurried over, glanced at the phone and smiled happily, "The person who took the picture is good at taking pictures."

Agency D provided Zhu Ziren with Li Zhien behind his back to watch the lively scene. Although it was secretly photographed, the shooting level is really good, and it is more than enough to be used as the cover of any magazine.

"Send me a copy of the photo, and I will keep it forever." Li Zhien laughed more and more as he looked at it, "Ouba, the two of us are really compatible, and the emotion contained in such an ordinary photo is incredible."

"It's a good match." Zhu Ziren rubbed her head and sent her the photo.

Then Li Zhien immediately set the photo as the background image of WeChat Moments.

The photo was taken from Zhu Ziren, so no matter who the photographer is, Li Zhien will not worry about being exposed or anything like that.

But it's a pity that that's the only place she can show off publicly.
