Watching the show always seed to fly by, and before long, two hours had passed and "Strongest Female Trainee" had ended.
He Jinxia knew that Shengshi Entertainnt’s "Sunshine Youth Charge Ahead" was also being aired on the TV station, so she switched channels to look for it.
Just as she found it, "Sunshine Youth Charge Ahead" was also reaching its conclusion, and she only managed to catch a few minutes of the end. The youthful, sunny, beautiful boys were indeed a delightful sight.
But for so reason, she always felt that there was an excessive air of girlishness about them.
Feeling a girlish presence from these boys was not out of place, after all, many of the handso young n, with just a touch of makeup, looked as if they had stepped out of an ani, even more beautiful than won in reality.
She pondered for a while, then decided to check the topic popularity of the two programs on Weibo.
At that mont, Luo You called and asked her if she had watched the shows and what her thoughts were.
He Jinxia organized her thoughts and slowly began, "It was surprising. A girl group reality show has never been done in Huaxia before; this is the first ti. I originally thought it would be sowhat rough around the edges, but it was not at all.
The ntors hired for the show were very strong, and the lighting equipnt onsite was good too. Most importantly, the trainees are of high quality, but—"
She paused and asked sowhat doubtfully, "Does the company really plan to select girl group mbers through this show?"
Luo You, "Why do you say that?"
He Jinxia, "Reality shows and talent shows are sowhat different; it feels like reality shows emphasize the effects of the program more than the actual abilities of the contestants."
Luo You nodded without hesitation, "Right, the company created this program with the idea of first making all contestants gain popularity.
If their skills are lacking, we can gradually train them. But if they have skills but no popularity, they will never break out. This program puts the popularity of the trainees first."
A flicker of thought crossed He Jinxia’s eyes, "Often the trainees with stronger abilities won’t have awful popularity either."
Luo You, "That’s true, but so trainees, who may not be talented but have very appealing personalities, tend to have much higher popularity than those who are rely skillful."
Changing the topic, he asked, "What’s your outlook on this program?"
He Jinxia countered, "Has the viewer ratings for the sa ti slot been released?"
Luo You, "It’s still being tallied. The specific results will co out in two hours, but as it looks, it should rank third in viewer ratings for its ti slot, with Shengshi Entertainnt’s show in fourth place."
Hearing this data, He Jinxia imdiately said, "Okay, book the program for . Next week, I will take out a day to go record."
Ranking third in viewer ratings was already quite strong. From now on, she wouldn’t expect it to rise further, but if it could maintain its spot, it was destined to be a hit reality show.
Having decided to make a guest appearance on "Strongest Female Trainee," He Jinxia then hung up the phone.
Before going to sleep, she opened the mo app on her phone; her schedule this week was relatively open, but starting next week, it would be packed.
He Jinxia took a deep breath, feeling both excited and anticipatory.
She felt as if her life was on a high-speed express, constantly needing to run without stopping. If she stopped, everything she had gained would turn into a mirage.
And as long as she kept running, she would soon reach the shore of victory... but for now, that remained just a fond wish.
Thinking this, He Jinxia drifted into sleep.
That night, she unusually had a dream, a dream about her career.
She dread that she starred in an incredibly powerful movie, received nominations at various film festivals, and even won the Movie Queen title at one of the festivals.
Then, in front of everyone, she kissed the trophy and, in front of the TV viewers, online video viewers, and all the audience present, she delivered her acceptance speech.
She had just started to speak one word when suddenly, the lights in the entire venue were struck by lightning, and the whole award ceremony collapsed. The stars in the audience scread and scattered, while He Jinxia herself stood alone on the stage, baffled, not knowing what to do!
Sheng Yan suddenly appeared before her, grabbed her, and started running for their lives. The following scenes all seed to be sared with thick oil paints, so chaotic she couldn’t rember anything.
He Jinxia frowned, with the alarm ringing "ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling..." incessantly in her ears. Suddenly, the fantasy was pulled back to reality, and she abruptly opened her eyes.
He Jinxia turned over and reached for her phone to turn off the set alarm, staring blankly ahead as she opened her eyes.
After a while, her vision focused and her consciousness cleared up.
Looking up, she saw the sunlight had already poured in through the window, marking the start of a new day.
He Jinxia yawned, got out of bed to brush her teeth and wash her face, occasionally reminiscing about the dream she had.
People often say that dreams are the opposite of reality.
If she dread about winning the Movie Queen, does that an it will never happen in reality?
Not only that, the later parts transford from a fine award-ceremony film into a catastrophic epic disaster movie—what a bitterly thrilling experience!
Does this an, then, that any future award ceremonies she attends will go smoothly, without any incidents?
He Jinxia shook her head and chuckled, her eyes lighting up at so thought, and sent the dream to Sheng Yan, unfortunately not receiving her lover’s first reply.
Just after she tidied up, she received a call from Luo You.
On the phone, Luo You’s tone was sowhat serious, "Are you up? Co to the company after breakfast, there’s sothing I need to discuss with you."
He Jinxia’s brow furrowed slightly, sensing an ominous feeling, she acknowledged and quickly finished her breakfast and rushed to the company.
There were already many people at work in the company, and the reception staff greeted He Jinxia very politely when they saw her.
Every year she ca to the company, she could always feel how people’s attitudes towards her changed.
Only after He Jinxia left did the reception staff dare to gossip, discussing her and saying that her makeup looked very similar to her bare face, and her facial features were very pretty.
"They say losing weight can have a transformative effect on a person. Seeing He Jinxia like this makes want to lose weight too," one receptionist said enviously.
"Forget it, the difference between you and her isn’t about weight, but that face. Face the reality, you don’t look fat at all; if you lose more weight, you’ll turn into a paper-thin person!"
"Ah, I envy how beautiful stars like her can be."
"When it cos down to it, it’s all about having good genes from your parents..."
The reception staff changed over ti, and the initial receptionist who attended He Jinxia had long since left and gone who knows where.
Although the person at the reception desk was no longer the sa, the content of their discussions hadn’t changed at all.
