Chapter 564 March Sky Tears Off the Global Spokesperson of the Dream Order?
The captain's words invigorated the other team members.

They were already discouraged because three teams were using one dance studio, and they felt they didn't have enough time to rehearse and wanted to give up.

But when they heard the captain say that Jinli would meet with them, they became as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood and started working hard.

The dance studio is not big enough and there is a lot of noise.

They went to an open space outside to practice, first memorizing the dance moves, and then using the mirror in the dance studio to meticulously refine each move.

This scene was silently recorded by the camera.

Late at night or early morning.

The production team of "Shining Glory" is selecting usable footage and storing it in a media library. This way, when needed, they can simply retrieve ready-made footage from the library without having to sift through it all again.

Each resource library was labeled with a name: [Hardworking and Diligent], [Serious and Focused], [Perfect Actions], [Funny and Humorous], [Lighthearted and Witty], [Interactive and Loving], etc.

Soon, some staff members collected the footage taken today and saw that the trainee team sent by Chenxi Entertainment had chosen to practice dancing outdoors because of the limited dance studio space.

Everyone was so engrossed in their training that their cheeks were flushed and they were drenched in sweat, which surprised them.

The staff were unsure of what to do.

This material should logically be placed in the material libraries for "hard work and diligence" and "serious focus", but they just don't practice dancing in the dance studio.

So the staff member asked his superior.

When his superiors came to take a look, based on his many years of experience producing variety shows, they believed that this footage, once posted online, could generate a lot of buzz.

First of all, the topic is controversial.

As the saying goes, black and red are still red.

If this clip is broadcast, netizens might criticize the production team while feeling sorry for the contestants.

But this move did generate buzz for the variety show, so it can still be used when necessary.

So the superior said, "Put it in the material library and add a special note saying 'Special'."

Even the trainees from Chenxi Entertainment didn't expect that they would become overnight sensations because of this clip broadcast by the show, which helped them pass the first performance and even make it all the way to the finals.

Jinli here.

After watching "Shining Glory", she had hot pot with Wang Hongdou and others, and then returned to her large apartment.

She had already done a live stream this morning and read a book, so she wouldn't do another live stream when she got home tonight.

She thought for a moment, then picked up a reference catalog of majors and corresponding cut-off scores from various universities in previous years.

Jinli felt that she also needed to start preparing.

Since you're confident you'll do well on this exam and get into a top-tier university (like a 985 or 211), you can start looking into different majors.

She doesn't have a specific major in mind yet, but she's certain she'll go to university.

This is not only to fulfill the original owner's obsession, but also to satisfy her own curiosity about the human world.

Having worked so hard for so long, with her goal within reach, she also wanted to climb to the top and see the view from there.

Turning to the first page, you'll see the admission scores for Tsinghua and Peking Universities, as well as the specific score requirements for each major.

Jinli has a tenacious spirit. She started by looking at the major from the first page, not caring about the grades, but just looking to see if there was a direction that interested her.

She skimmed through the text, but suddenly her gaze fell on a particular line.

Hmm, this major...

That's a good match.

interesting.

The day after "Shining Glory" aired, March Sky and other talents gathered together.

Gu Cheng had already seen it yesterday. He said "It's meaningless" in the group chat and then stopped talking.

By browsing trending topics on blogs, people like March Sky roughly understood what was going on.

However, the information that can be found in trending searches is ultimately somewhat one-sided, so they still took some time to get together and watch it together, as a way of showing their respect for their future competitors.

When watching variety shows, everyone was surprisingly quiet and didn't complain.

Gu Cheng glanced at Chen Lin and noticed that he barely watched the variety show and spent the entire time talking on his phone.

Luo Yi, who was standing to the side, noticed something amiss. He glanced at the chat screen and saw that Chen Lin was chatting with Qi Guan Mingzhu. He even saw a rather cringe-worthy conversation.

Chen Lin: [Sister, I've been running around doing so many gigs lately, I'm so tired!]

Luo Yi clicked his tongue and shook his head.

This kid, will he die if he doesn't act cute with his older sister?

A spoiled brat!
After watching the whole thing, team leader Yan Xingdong was the first to ask, "What are your thoughts?"

Luo Yi: "It's much worse than I imagined. The contestants this year are not very good, and the quality is worrying. Only the last few performances are watchable."

Although talent shows are primarily for entertainment and to make the audience happy, they won't deliberately hide any segments that showcase talent.

There are probably too few truly talented stages available, so they broadcast inferior performances to create a false sense of security and lower the audience's expectations.

Yan Xingdong agreed, saying, "That's what I thought too. What about Xiao Lin?"

This big, goofy guy was smiling broadly at his phone the whole time, and he directly called out names.

Chen Lin raised his head, looked blankly ahead, then lowered his head again and said perfunctorily:
"I didn't watch much, but I knew what this variety show was trying to achieve from the very first performance. The contestants were of very poor quality."

"They only revealed a few mysterious figures near the end. They've placed all their bets on June Xia from the first two episodes; they should just watch June Xia's performance to see the quality of this show."

Yan Xingdong didn't say anything, but looked at Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng said succinctly, "My thoughts are the same as yours. It's so boring and meaningless. It's all just hype and gimmicks."

If they continue with this editing style, they will suffer a significant loss of users.

Yan Xingdong said with some concern, "I see that Tianding Entertainment's support for the new boy group June Summer is almost unprecedented. I wonder if this boy group will..."

Gu Cheng: "No."

He interrupted decisively.

"Times have changed. Things are very different now compared to when we first started out. Back then, there weren't so many entertainment apps on mobile phones, and the video industry wasn't as developed. But now we live in an era of information explosion."

Aside from established artists who have already gained fame, it's very difficult for newcomers to stand out.

Some newcomers to the entertainment industry don't even have the same level of popularity as online celebrities in the video industry, or actors who specialize in short dramas.

“So Captain,” Gu Cheng said with certainty, “they are not us, and they cannot replace us. Tianding Entertainment is just directing and staging its own carnival.”

"Once the feast is over, no one will pay for their actions."

Suddenly, a voice came in, "Well said. You all need to have this confidence and trust your own judgment. Only in this way can you maintain your pioneering spirit in the industry."

Looking up, I saw Zhang Guang walk in with a smile on his face, looking travel-worn.

With the surge in March's engagements these past few days, he's been quite busy.

The new company has just been established, and the team is newly formed. Many of them are not experienced, so he needs to do many things personally.

If March Band weren't already a mature team that didn't require him to personally accompany them on set, he would definitely have collapsed from exhaustion.

Seeing his delighted expression, Chen Lin couldn't help but ask, "You came in so loudly, Brother Guang, is something good happening?"

Guang Ge couldn't help but chuckle, "When have I ever not been loud enough to greet you all? Haven't I always been as warm as a spring breeze?"

These words sent chills down the spines of everyone in March.

What I fear most is Guang Ge trying to play the emotional card with them. Every time he does, I know there's something he needs them to do.

Yan Xingdong spoke up: "Brother Guang, stop keeping us in suspense. What important announcement have you given us this time? Do we need to pull some strings?"

Zhang Guang grinned: "You've really misunderstood me this time. It's not that I want you to tear up the announcement; it's that the company that made the announcement has approached you directly and appointed you as their global spokespersons."

Everyone else looked over curiously, and Chen Lin added emotional appeal, "Who is it? Only big brands can rise to the level of global brand ambassadors."

Small brands don't care about global reach; they're already impressive if they can expand beyond China. Often, securing a national brand ambassador is considered the highest level of success.

Zhang Guang directly revealed the answer: "A top-tier luxury brand—Ru Meng Ling!"

The moment the words "Like a Dream" were uttered, everyone in March Sky sat up straight.

Ru Meng Ling is an established luxury brand that keeps a low profile, unlike Fang Fei which makes headlines several times a year and makes a big splash.

Like a Dream has a kind of understated luxury.

Many high-ranking officials, nobles, and upper-class families, whose traditions have been passed down for generations, use the "Like a Dream" token.

The most outstanding feature of "Like a Dream" is its bag.

The new bags launched each season are highly sought after worldwide, and many social media influencers can gain huge attention simply by posting a photo of the new Rumengling bag online.

Of course, at the same time, it is also a major area for counterfeit goods. However, in recent years, due to the strict crackdown on counterfeits, few stores dare to go against Rumengling anymore.

But luxury brands can't just make one classic product forever.

Luxury brand giants always have the mentality of wanting both, so Rumengling has expanded outwards to include high-end product lines such as cosmetics, accessories, ready-to-wear, and jewelry.

Especially in the area of ​​makeup, which has been their main focus in recent years, they emphasize flawless foundation that lasts and doesn't smudge.

The reason why March Sky is so familiar with Ru Meng Ling's product structure is that their makeup products are all sponsored by Ru Meng Ling himself.

Every time they perform on stage in public, the dressing room backstage is filled with Ru Meng Ling makeup products, and the makeup artists can only use Ru Meng Ling makeup to apply their makeup.

They do not accept other makeup brands recommended by makeup artists.

Therefore, when there are many celebrities, the organizer's overall coordination ability is put to a very high test.

They need to remember the brands that each celebrity endorses, and arrange for dozens of kinds of snacks and drinks that each celebrity eats and drinks to be delivered to the corresponding celebrity's backstage area.

However, if the organizer is powerful enough, they can disregard these things and simply remove all the packaging and not record any brand names.

However, many of the organizers are not well-known, and some events are sponsored by brands. Therefore, when celebrities attend such events, they often have to contend with the brands they endorse.

Some dedicated celebrities will even refuse to drink water with the label removed, leaving it in a corner where it won't be photographed.

Chen Lin exclaimed in shock, "Brother Guang! My God, how could you do that?!"

You used to be just a good agent, now you've become a god!

We haven't attended any events related to "Like a Dream" this month, and you quietly tore off the global endorsement deal for the series!

Gu Cheng suddenly spoke up: "I remember Jin Li is also the brand ambassador for Ru Meng Ling, but she endorses individual handbags."

Zhang Guang smiled and said, "This brings us to Tianding Entertainment's assistance. I received news that Tianding Entertainment contacted Ru Mengling, wanting to remove the global spokesperson title from the newly launched boy group, and made many concessions."

Yan Xingdong couldn't help but say, "Has He Yan lost his mind? A boy band that hasn't even debuted yet dares to think about becoming the global spokesperson for Ru Meng Ling."

Zhang Guang shrugged: "Yeah, I don't know what he was thinking. Maybe his mindset is still stuck in foreign countries, and he thinks that money can buy everything."

The problem is, "June Summer" isn't a mature product yet. So many people are giving "Like a Dream" free advertising every day; wouldn't it be better for "Like a Dream" to give that money to internet celebrities with millions of followers?

He then changed the subject, "Later, He Yan proposed another plan to Ru Mengling, which was to jointly promote idols. Tianding Entertainment would join hands with Ru Mengling to create the June Summer Boy Group."

Perhaps the prospects of the plan were too tempting, so Ru Mengling sent someone to see June Summer. However, after meeting her, Ru Mengling thought about it for a few days and still refused.

He Yan later used some connections abroad, and someone mediated between them. Ru Mengling met with He Yan again. He Yan was very persistent, but the person in charge of Ru Mengling was getting a little impatient.

The person in charge felt that the uncertainty surrounding the global spokesperson was causing a lot of trouble, so they decided to expedite the selection process. I don't know what their internal discussions were like, but this opportunity ended up falling to you guys.

Even the usually unreliable Chen Lin said, "This sounds so frivolous, can we really believe it?"

Zhang Guang thought for a moment and said, "I don't think they chose you on a whim. You should have always been on their shortlist of considerations. This time it just happened to be the right opportunity."

Moreover, you've been quite popular lately, frequently topping the trending searches, and these are mostly positive ones. The public has a very high level of goodwill towards you.

“However,” Zhang Guang emphasized, “Ru Mengling also put forward a condition, that is, they will wait until Gu Cheng’s college entrance examination results are released before officially announcing the news of the global spokesperson.”

Zhang Guang looked at Gu Cheng: "Your college entrance exam score will determine whether Ru Meng Ling will ultimately choose March Sky as its global spokesperson. So, are you confident?"

Gu Cheng smiled slightly and asked in return, "If I said I was confident that I could get into a university of the 985 or 211 level, would you believe me?"

Everyone else replied in unison, "I'll believe you if you say so!"

Gu Cheng felt slightly embarrassed and said modestly, "I think you guys are more confident than me."
