Chapter 87 Teacher Shi’s “Busy” Day

AAA accepts the royal family: [It has landed, don’t worry. 】

Good night, Makabaka: [Okay, no worries~]

Ikeno put away his phone and saw Coco, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, waiting outside the airport.

It's been a while since we last met.

Ever since he terminated his contract and established his own studio, Keke has been busy like a top, acting as the studio's housekeeper and agent.

Although the two have been communicating through phone and WeChat, the number of times they meet is far less than before the contract was terminated.

However, looking at the little girl's energetic look, she seems to be enjoying her current life.

"It's okay to be decisive, Sister Ke."

Coco wore a long trench coat and had neat short hair, looking like a capable female elite in the workplace.

Hearing the voice, he felt a little embarrassed. He quickly took the backpack from Chi Ye and gave Xiao Liu a reproachful look.

"There were a few notebooks in there. I saw them on the plane. I have to memorize them myself. Don't blame her."

Ikeno explained.

Keke said earnestly, "You have to pay attention to your image now, Brother Chi. A lot of fans want to pick you up at the airport, so you have to pay attention to your outfit. If your rivals take ugly photos of you, they'll use them to spread negative marketing against you."

"Ok, I know."

Chi Ye nodded, and everyone got into the car quietly. The driver drove, and Coco sat in the back seat. She took out a document, handed it to Chi Ye, and lowered her voice: "This is what he gave me."

Chi Ye took it, glanced at it casually, and closed it.

"Do you think this little thing will be of much use?"

Keke thought for a moment and replied, "If used properly, it should be effective, but... it's not fatal."

"If it's not fatal, keep it and try to maximize the damage."

Chi Ye stretched, leaned against the soft back seat, closed his eyes and rested, looking a little tired.

The journey was bumpy and I didn't get much rest on the plane.

But being your own boss means you’re a little more tired than being an ordinary artist.

Keke continued to talk about work: "The first batch of dividends from "Restart" has arrived. Also, there are a few music variety show announcements, and the announcement fees are two or three times higher than before..."

"We haven't received any notices from the film and television industry yet. Our reputation in this field is still too poor. The big production teams won't consider us, and there are only a few small production teams..."

"After the end of 'Loop', there are no new scripts. The current trend in the industry is still in the film and television industry. My future development focus, in addition to preparing for the album, is to strive for as many film and television resources as possible..."

An hour passed while Coco gave a brief report on her recent work summary.

"There's no rush for the script. I'm working on it over there. I'll discuss it with the 'big boss' when the time comes..."

Keke nodded and smiled knowingly - Big Boss, isn't Big Boss the boss of Brother Chi?

She didn't say any more about this matter, and instead talked about several major events that had happened in the circle recently.

"The landscape of young actors has changed again. Peng Chen's ancient idol drama was a huge hit. He used up almost 80% of Meng Yixun's resources and also got a lot of capital. Now he has become a real top star."

"Wasn't there talk last year about the Big Four being a double explosion and a double top streamer? Now Peng Chen has gone from 'double top streamer' to 'double explosion'."

Chi Ye nodded: "It seems that Lao Peng is not in a very retrograde state this year... I'll find a chance to give him trouble."

cocoa:"……"

But Ikeno was just joking.

In today's entertainment industry, film and television are indeed the trend. Take the area of ​​exposing celebrities for example. Peng Chen has almost skyrocketed in the past two years. It may be related to drinking Jiang's fake wine. I didn't expect there would be such help.

It only took him two dramas to go from being an unknown to being a top star in the circle, which is much better than him working so hard to sing and restore his reputation.

With Peng Chen's ascension, there will naturally be new stars who want to take his place.

It is said that nearly ten young actors who are about to become popular, including Tao Taizi and Ku Taizi, are competing for the "double top stars" position vacated by Peng Chen.

"Dream of Xiyuan" starring Jiang Cheng and Shang Youshu is also aiming for this position.

"Tsk tsk, the competition among male artists is fierce." Ikeno shook his head and sighed, "All these up-and-coming celebrities that each company wants to promote could form a group. Once they're ready to break out, they're ready to break out for life!"

Coco laughed out loud but didn't say anything.

In fact, Ikeno was also a person waiting to become a big star, and her reputation was the worst - because she really didn't become a big star.

But now he has become a little famous thanks to "Restart", which can be regarded as a different approach. He has inexplicably gained a status in the music industry. The time is too short and the number of works is too small, so he is not a first-line star, but he is definitely popular.

I heard that it’s not just Jiang Cheng. Many people who are about to become big stars want to follow his example and release an album to overtake him after seeing his success.

"Is there any movement from Yue Na recently?"

The car stopped in front of a restaurant and everyone got off to eat. During the meal, Chi Ye asked about Yue Na.

"I heard they're preparing for an IPO, but because of the problems with the music department last time, they've been crazy about Yi Chen lately."

Keke said truthfully: "The Voice of China is the hottest variety show recently. He is now expected to win the title of Singer of the Year."

Chi Ye nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "Hey, I remember Teacher Shi seemed to be participating in this music variety show?"

"Uh..." Keke paused and looked at Chi Ye hesitantly: "Brother Chi, you... don't you know?"

"?"

Ikeno was puzzled: "Know what?"

Keke thought for a moment and said, "Something happened with Teacher Shi..."

……

In a rental house in the suburbs of Beijing.

The small rental house was kept in perfect order. Shi Dafu wiped her mother's body carefully for half an hour before she stood up and went out with the basin of water.

Start washing clothes.

She rented this house before participating in "See You". At that time, because she had no money and had to participate in the program in Beijing, she could only rent a small house here.

After "See You" was broadcast, everyone else benefited, but her situation did not actually improve much.

It wasn't until she live-streamed her cover of Ikeno's new song, became a minor hit on TikTok, and received an invitation to be on "The Voice of China" that her financial situation gradually improved, but only a little.

Because of various economic agreements with her former company, she actually had a lot of debt, the formal kind. She didn't pay much back every month, but she had to pay it back.

Her current company is a small one and they didn’t pay much attention to her before, but after she participated in “The Voice of China”, they rented a house for her in the city. She usually lives there and it is more convenient for her to run around for announcements.

However, my mother's legs and feet are not very convenient, so I didn't bother the old lady. I just asked my eldest sister-in-law to come and take care of my mother, and she would come back to take care of her when she was not working.

At this moment, she was washing clothes, her pair of white and tender hands moving skillfully, she was wearing a pair of pirated headphones that were cheaper than Chi Ye's Huaqiangbei ones, and she was humming a pleasant tune from time to time.

"Aunt, aunt."

A chubby little boy came over with an apple, sniffing his nose: "I want to eat this."

Shi Dafu took a look, wiped her hands, took the apple, and without any force, she just gently broke it. With a "click", the huge apple was broken into two halves. The flesh was even and the surface was smooth, as if it was cut with a knife.

"Here, for you." Shi Dafu handed over the two halves of the apple.

"Aunt, Xiaohu will eat half and the other half is yours!"

The little boy only took half of the apple.

"Auntie doesn't want to eat. Auntie isn't hungry. You eat."

Shi Dafu laughed. Outsiders rarely saw her laugh like this because she was always embarrassed to smile and felt awkward.

She looked at her nephew: "Do you have anything else to do?"

"Hmm..." The little boy felt embarrassed. He took another bag of walnuts and looked at his aunt eagerly.

Shi Dafu took the bag without saying a word, held a walnut in her palm, squeezed it gently, and it broke, revealing the walnut meat inside.

Then he didn't stop and continued to crush the little boy one by one.

Soon, the whole bag of walnuts was "violently destroyed".

"Aunt, you are so awesome!"

The little boy sniffed his nose, his eyes full of admiration.

Shi Dafu pulled out a tissue and wiped his nose before softly saying, "Have you finished your homework? Go do it now, or your mother will be angry again when she comes back."

"Oh, I'm going to do my homework, thank you, auntie."

Shi Dafu rubbed his little head, stood up and threw the tissue into the small trash can, then sat back on the small stool and continued washing clothes - his mother's clothes were very dirty and could not be washed clean in the washing machine. His sister-in-law would definitely be unhappy when she saw it.

She washed for half an hour, and when it was getting dark, she stood up, rubbed her slightly sore arms, and didn't feel too tired. She turned around and prepared to go into the house to cook dinner.

Da da da.

There was a crisp sound of footsteps.

A middle-aged woman in her thirties or forties, dressed fashionably and carrying a bag, walked in. Seeing Shi Dafu's "dirty" hands, she couldn't help but cry out, "Hey, my ancestors, I told you to be an artist, don't do these things, why don't you listen?"

"If I had known, I wouldn't have let you come back!"

Shi Dafu turned around, was startled, and shouted: "You are here."

The agent walked over dejectedly and took the bowl from her hand. "What else can I do if I don't come? Are you really planning to quit the show?"

Shi Dafu was silent and didn't say anything.

"No, 'The Voice of China' is so popular right now. If you want to quit just like that, the company will definitely not agree!"

The agent took a look at the small, shabby house and said, "Besides, are you really not going to change your living conditions?"

"I heard your brother has sent his child from his hometown to kindergarten here. Without this variety show, do you have the money to support your child's education?"

Shi Dafu raised her head, her almond-shaped eyes showing no emotion. She simply denied it gently, "It's not that I want to quit, it's... the difference between leaving early and leaving late."

The agent looked at her and said, "It's better to leave later than earlier. If you're eliminated, you're eliminated. Maybe you can even get some hype. Anything you can get is worth it!"

"Why don't you get it?!"

Shi Dafu lowered her head and said nothing more.

The agent felt a little helpless, looking up at the sky, feeling that the air in this urban village was quite good...

"Why do you think Hua Yichen and the others are targeting you so much?"

she asked suddenly.

Shi Dafu looked up at her, still without saying anything.

"I'll tell you." The agent revealed the truth: "Because you had a good relationship with Chi Ye in 'See You', and because you two had a scandal before, Yue Na and Hua Yi Chen are now wishing Chi Ye would die tomorrow, so they are targeting you so much."

Shi Dafu shook her head: "It has nothing to do with him."

broker:"?"

Shi Dafu paused and said, "I've offended people before. Many of the big names on the show have connections to that company."

"Just be tough."

The agent sneered, "No matter how difficult things were in the past, the fact that you were able to come out means that you've already solved it. So, Hua Yichen and Yue Na, those artists, are targeting you and buying all kinds of negative marketing for you. Is that also because of Harmony Image?"

"Harmony Image" is the company that Shi Dafu once signed with.

The full name is Harmony Image Entertainment Group.

The group is a true music industry giant, headquartered in Taipei. It was one of the leading companies in the record era and has participated in and invested in many popular music variety shows.

After entering the digital music era, Harmony Image kept up with the trend and actively transformed. After several years of development, it has become the real number one in the domestic entertainment music scene, with many top singers and queens from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

It has greater influence than Yuena in the film and television industry.

Back then, Shi Dafu punched a senior executive of Harmony Image and sent him to the hospital, which resulted in her being banned.

In the past four or five years, the music scene has been declining, and Harmony Image's influence is not as great as before. With the entry of various new capitals and the help of Shi Dafu's former teacher, she was able to make a comeback.

But although he has made a comeback, the past will not be erased because of his comeback.

"It has nothing to do with him."

Shi Dafu said the same thing and lowered her head to wash the rice.

The agent tilted his head and looked at her: "Hua Yichen and Yue Na messed with you, but it has nothing to do with him?"

Shi Dafu said nothing.

"Yuena still has to listen to Harmony Image? The top singer in the music industry? Ugh! The music industry has become so messed up, shouldn't they just kowtow to Yuena?"

Shi Dafu stopped what she was doing and looked at her agent: "So what if they have connections?"

"If you have any connection, just open your mind!"

"Didn't you have a good relationship before?"

The agent was anxious: "Ikeno is a bit of a celebrity now, and I heard she's related to Jin Xia... Then who is Jin Xia? Go find her for help... If you keep silent like this, even if someone wants to help you, they won't know if you need it or not, my sister!"

Shi Dafu shook her head: "We are not that close."

The agent was surprised: "Not that close, is his studio marketing you?"

Shi Dafu: "..."

"Not that close. You always speak up for him? No, Chi Ye is no good either. When he was in the most difficult time, you always helped him. Now that he's feeling a little better, you really don't care about you!"

Hearing this, Teacher Shi finally raised his head and wanted to say something, but he didn't. He just lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, you said it too. He's just getting better. Why bother others?"

Agent: “…6.”

She gave up completely: "Okay, okay, you don't want to bother anyone, you don't want to speak, you don't want anything, then why are you making a comeback? Just wait to die, wait to go back to your hometown for a blind date, and find an old man to marry!"

"I don't want to, I don't want to. How did you become famous in the first place? How could there be someone as stupid as you in this world?"
