Entertainment: Top players who started out as trainees

Chapter 66: The worsening situation & the early arrival of the pie
"That's probably what happened."

Looking at Ning Luo's conflicted expression, Ge Fuhong leaned back in her chair, clasped her hands around her belly, and smiled gently.

"Don't be so anxious to make a decision. You can go back and think about it carefully. Feel free to contact me when you have made up your mind."

"If you sign with our company, I believe your future will be much easier."

"I see."

Ning Luo stood up respectfully and bowed to Ge Fuhong and the director who had hardly said a word, then left the room.

The moment the door closed, Ning Luo's face instantly turned cold.

He received the threat hidden in the other party's posture and words.

If he doesn't sign, his future will be difficult!
At least that's the case during the show.

The character of this "variety show godmother" is much more sophisticated and ruthless than that of the other "talent show godmother".

But so what?
Ning Luo gently bent the joints of his fingertips, and the slight pain from the joints gave him a strange sense of pleasure.

If you can delay it, keep delaying it. If you can’t, just reveal your cards.

Anyway, the program team has never stopped suppressing him from the beginning to the end, and the failure of the talks is just a matter of intensifying the intensity.

no big deal.

He is no longer the weak person he used to be who could be manipulated at will!

Ning Luo had just walked out of the building when he saw two figures walking towards him not far ahead.

The one in front was the staff member who had just brought him here, and following behind was Cai Xukun.

It seems that he is not the only one who has this "blessing".

Ning Luo couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, nodded to the other party, and then quickened his pace to the practice building.

He had seen the dispute between Cai Xukun and his former agency on Weibo, and he didn't know what choice this guy would make this time?

In the office, the smile on Ge Fuhong's face had long disappeared, and she was leisurely sipping her tea.

As if she had thought of something, Ge Fuhong turned her head to look at the chief director beside her and asked curiously, "Will the second ranking be announced tomorrow?"

"Yes," the director nodded, put down the teacup, and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

"We just agreed on the rankings yesterday. Those guys have been giving us a lot of trouble these past few days."

Ge Fuhong chuckled and joked, "Why are you afraid of trouble when you can make money?"

A smile also appeared on the director's face.

They did make a lot of money this time, and they can make two more in the future.

This time, they can be said to have turned a disaster into a blessing.

"Have you arranged Ning Luo's grades?"

"second."

"Ok?"

Ge Fuhong paused while pouring tea and looked at the director in surprise.

“This is the result after the operation.”

The chief director explained helplessly, "I'm not trying to be perfunctory with you. In fact, in this ranking, Ning Luo's actual votes have surpassed Cai Xukun. It's just that we considered that this guy is not easy to control, so we pushed him to second place."

"To be honest, besides you, many other people have asked me to lower Ning Luo's score."

"But there's nothing we can do. The votes he and Cai Xukun have are so far ahead of the other trainees, almost double the difference. In order to maintain fairness, we can't do too much."

"Moreover, the data released by Ning Luo's fan club during the last ranking was very ugly, and we had to put a lot of effort to suppress the popularity."

Ge Fuhong couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "What a difficult little guy."

The director joked: "It makes you love and hate it, right?"

"Haha, you are the same."

……

The next day, the program team called all the trainees to gather in the studio.

As PD Zhang walked onto the stage, the second ranking announcement officially began.

After this ranking, 23 trainees will be eliminated.

The two missing ones were asked to leave because of a fight two days ago.

So, idiots can be found everywhere, regardless of profession.

After the greetings, PD Zhang started to announce the votes. When Ning Luo heard that the number of votes for the 34th place exceeded 177 million, he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly and joined the heated discussion with everyone else.

With this number of votes, it would have been ranked in the top 15 in the first ranking.

From this we can see that the popularity of Idol Producer is indeed a bit exaggerated.

For Ning Luo, this is good news.

As the rankings were announced one after another, Ning Luo pretended to shout and yell like everyone else, but he was also silently analyzing the situation in his mind.

The 29th, 27th, 19th and 13th places are Huang Xinchun, Bi Wenjun from Yuehua, and Li Quanzhe from Dingze.

The rankings of the top three have not changed much compared to last time, and they should be pure supporting roles.

Li Quanzhe fell out of the debut position and became a new supporting role.

No. 23, Ning Luo’s best friend Zhou Rui, rose 8 places.

Ever since he tasted success in his last performance, this guy has been rushing towards becoming more "feminine".

No. 14, Zhou Yanchen from Guoran Entertainment, up 13 places.

This guy seemed to have tasted the sweetness of playing the victim, and he looked sickly every day, but Ning Luo doubted whether he could hold on to the end.

Because this guy is not pretending to be sick, he is really madly testing the edge of hypoglycemia.

No. 11, Kunyin Bufan, was squeezed out of the debut position.

Tenth place, Kunyin Lingchao, 949 million votes, rose two places, but still did not make it into the top nine for debut.

Ninth place, Rubber Entertainment’s You Changjing, 1179 million votes, up two places.

Eighth place, happy and simple Wang Ziyi, rose four places.

Seventh place, Guoran Sky Ghost, 1220 million votes, ranking remained unchanged.

Sixth place, Chen Linong, with 1675 million votes, dropped four places, which is reasonable.

He tui!

At this point, the situation is very clear.

The top five are definitely the trio of Ning Luo, Cai Xukun and Yuehua.

Judging from the rankings, the biggest winner in the negotiations between major companies and the program team some time ago was Yuehua Entertainment, with all its members entering the top 35 and three of them securing their debut positions.

Next is Happy Simplicity and Rubber Entertainment.

Although several members were eliminated, it was enough to push the main members Wang Ziyi and You Changjing to the debut position.

The worst off is Kunyin Entertainment, with two members standing by for the debut position.

It is probably because Kunyin was reluctant to pay the protection fee, or it did not pay as much as the other companies.

The final debut list will probably be composed of the top 11 members this time.

Ning Luo guessed silently in his heart.

The leading advantage of the trainees in the upper circle is now obvious. Unless there is a major change or a company makes violent recharges, it will be difficult for the members behind to catch up.

Moreover, the negotiations have dragged on for so long that the major companies will certainly not just do it for a simple 60 to 35 split. It is very likely that they will start dividing the cake in advance.

Whoever is willing to pay the protection fee and reserve the spot in advance, the program team will cooperate with that company in the next few episodes, give their trainees more shots, and help with their character setting.

The popularity of the trainees ranked 7 to 11 is similar.

If someone suddenly gets a lot of screen time and his or her personality becomes more likable, he or she will naturally gain more followers faster.

Even if they are not in the lead, they will not be left behind, and the program crew will find it much easier to operate.

When it comes to the third ranking, the program team can do it again.

Double the benefits, double the happiness.

However, if it is really as Ning Luo guessed, his screen time will probably be greatly reduced in the next few episodes of the show, and he may even be subject to malicious editing to suppress his popularity.

Ning Luo couldn't help but curl his lips.

It’s all Chen Linong’s fault. He pissed off the company and caused him to be implicated in advance.

It seems that we have to keep a low profile.

whispering sound!
The feeling of being pinned down by someone is so damn uncomfortable!
Except Zhang Ruonan.

Cheng Xiao is also an exception.
