Every so often in China, there are grand ceremonies where celebrities showcase new fashion resources, and during sumr, these events beco even more frequent.
Bowen Client, a platform specializing in rankings, organized its own event, inviting popular film and television production teams from each quarter, along with singers and groups who released music this year, and even variety show production teams were included.
Last month, they released the nomination list for this awards ceremony, and in the past two weeks, they officially confird the invited teams.
Although Bowen Client is a new platform, it's backed by a large company, so all dostic entertainnt companies need to show respect. As the official announcents were wrapping up, Jiang Juyou's na was also added to the list. They even published a separate Weibo post for Random Entertainnt, detailing which categories their artists and works were nominated for.
"Wow, soone else just did Random Entertainnt's half-year summary for them."
"Hilarious, every variety show they made got nominated!"
"The Hangover Cure is coming too! So excited!"
"Such great resources, getting events right after debut."
"Wait... all these are Random Entertainnt's artists?"
Random Entertainnt's idol groups are so famous that all young people today know them, and the idol group label is firmly attached to Random Entertainnt. Only after today's official announcent did people realize there were so many actors under Random Entertainnt as well.
On this poster, the most eye-catching was AIcho, listed alongside Titrain, a four-mber girl group selected from this year's most watched variety show. Their na cos from the word "Echo," with the 'E' changed to 'AI' for similar pronunciation, creating a concept that aligns with Random Entertainnt's overall cyber galaxy the.
There's only one reason they're getting attention: they got their first resource less than two weeks after debut, while Titrain had to wait a whole month back then.
Just as the Little Jasmines were about to express their dissatisfaction, they were drawn away by Titrain's official blog suddenly coming online.
Just like that day when they posted a random date and disappeared, today they posted a puzzling video and vanished again.
Just as Jiang Liuxing walked out of the classroom after class, she heard the entire corridor buzzing—
"Ahh! The preview is out!"
"Quick, quick! Titrain released a preview!"
"I can't with Random Entertainnt anymore, why so sudden? I still need to grab lunch!"
More than being surprised at Titrain's preview timing, Jiang Liuxing was more shocked that there were so many Titrain fans hidden around her.
Standing on her tiptoes while holding two books, she looked around. All the girls who were originally rushing downstairs had slowed down, walking while looking at their phones, all holding their phones in the sa way.
Jiang Liuxing went back to the classroom, put down her books, and opened her phone too.
She clicked on her special follow feed on Weibo and turned her phone horizontal, waiting for the video to play.
A grey-blue filter first ca into view, with the oppressive atmosphere of an office building hitting viewers imdiately. The sound of keyboard typing and phone rings rose and fell, creating an irritating ambiance.
Chi Qiao appeared in the fra wearing a suit, sitting at his workstation with a cold expression, forming a stark contrast with the busy employees around him.
He wore a smoke-gray suit, his broad shoulders filling out the suit's cut, making it impossible not to notice his physique.
The scene switched to a close-up, and Chi Qiao, wearing silver-frad glasses, created a visual impact with his appearance for the first ti.
The glasses served as emphasis, magnifying Chi Qiao's facial features infinitely. His high bridge nose and clearly defined jawline exuded masculine pheromones. With his small head, narrow face, broad shoulders, and tanned skin, these consecutive visual hits left fans completely unable to focus on the preview's plot.
"...Holy crap?"
"Watched it several tis and kept focusing on Chi Qiao."
"Is this really our visuals-last Chi Qiao? Are you sure? Huh? This is our Chi Qiao?"
"Oh god... I feel guilty, he's only seventeen... but I really..."
"Swallowing every ti I watch."
"Well, now you've really made Titrain an all-visuals group."
Chi Qiao's eyes were lifeless, carrying the exhaustion of being worn down by corporate life. In the final few seconds, he yanked off his work badge, stood up and threw it on the desk, then strode towards the elevator area. The entire office fell silent for just a second before returning to its chaotic state.
Fans didn't let a single mont of tall, long-legged Chi Qiao go to waste, repeatedly dragging the progress bar to watch him walk in his suit pants, observe his long strides, and look at his narrow waist.
"I really... I really just..."
"Don't even feel like doing the streaming numbers anymore... it's all your fault!"
"Sister's getting paid soon, don't worry, I'll send it right over!"
The preview was only twenty seconds long, but it completely captured everyone's attention. On Douyin, this twenty-second preview had an even bigger impact, gaining hundreds of thousands of likes within just fifteen minutes of release, with comnts even exceeding the number of likes.
"You... I... you..."
"Well played, Random Entertainnt, you're giving us exactly what we like, huh?"
"[Flirty squinting eyes.jpg]"
"Hahaha, here we co with the overtaking!"
"No one's even guessing the concept, everyone's just drooling."
"I can't even imagine how amazing this concept will be."
Different from previous patterns, this preview featured Chi Qiao first, and just from the comnts section, you could see how well Chi Qiao matched this concept. Chi Qiao, who had never received much attention before, suddenly topped various social dia trending lists after the preview's release, causing his already expensive photo cards to skyrocket in price.
Random Entertainnt's timing for releasing the preview was also well-calculated, coming just one day before the Bowen Client Awards Ceremony.
With this preview setting the stage, the already anticipated Titrain imdiately gained the spotlight, with Chi Qiao receiving the most attention while others beca supporting characters.
Co to think of it, this was their first ti formally attending an event. Although they had been to other ceremonies and events before, those were just as opening acts, and even when they walked the red carpet, they wore performance outfits since they had to perform right at the start with no ti to change.
With Chi Qiao's preview serving as bait, the Bowen Client's First Awards Ceremony generated even more buzz than expected. Its hashtag had been hanging on Weibo since early morning, with marketing accounts closely monitoring, not wanting to miss any news.
At this mont, Titrain was taking departure photos at the hotel. All five mbers were wearing suits, changing from one style to another, from super seasonal runway pieces to vintage pieces from eighteen years ago. What they were wearing now was for the red carpet.
Chi Qiao wore a highly designed leather suit that emphasized his shoulder and waist lines. The black fabric's clash with silver accessories once again aligned with their group concept. A chanical engineering-style necklace gripped his chest and neck, with embedded LED beads, the entire outfit exuding a futuristic feel.
The stylist brought a pair of black leather gloves for Chi Qiao, decorated with water glass. The geotric glass pieces added a sense of rationality. After Chi Qiao received them, he spread his fingers and put on the gloves. The staff mber holding the phone nearby recorded every mont, and even before posting, she could already imagine how fans would react in the comnts.
Seeing him wearing the gloves, the stylist looked him up and down, increasingly satisfied with the styling.
The leather material had subtle textures, and the straight-leg pants on Chi Qiao's legs would create characteristic leather wrinkles when he moved, drawing attention to his thighs.
As for shoes, the stylist chose a pair of narrow-toed leather shoes with a back heel. The four-centiter heel pushed Chi Qiao's height over 190 centiters and enhanced the fashion-forward feel of the entire outfit.
It felt like Chi Qiao wasn't going to walk the red carpet, but rather about to step onto a fashion runway.
"Perfect!" exclaid the stylist, glancing back at the others with growing satisfaction.
With their concept as a foundation, Titrain's styling wasn't bound by convention. The stylist could freely exercise their creativity, and the Titrain team wasn't overly nitpicky. After mutually confirming requirents, they quickly settled on the looks.
Each mber's styling was unique yet harmoniously coordinated. Silver, grey, and black ford their red carpet color palette. Except for Chi Qiao, everyone's look had its distinct characteristics.
Ye Xing wore a black shirt with a loose, oversized fit, but the stylist paired it with a silver butterfly vest made of talwork that frad the shirt, creating both a waist-defining silhouette and artistic effect.
Yao Shuo was similarly adorned with silver craftsmanship. He wore a smoke-grey suit covered in black talwork that resembled veins climbing across the entire outfit. Just putting on this piece took considerable ti.
The assistant stylist was still working on him, extending the fine black talwork from his cuffs along his hand's veins, wrapping around his hands.
Their unique styling drew attention from nurous artists and staff mbers as soon as they left their hotel room. While waiting for the elevator, even senior celebrities expressed curiosity about their outfits.
Compared to his bandmates' restrictive outfits, Gao Xiayu's attire was relatively practical. Amid others' elaborate styling, he wore a simple black suit adorned with multiple intricate pearl necklaces, the longest reaching below his abdon.
Since the others had limited mobility, Gao Xiayu handled all the bowing, followed by explanations to avoid misunderstandings.
Pei Luming was the only one wearing a long coat. Unlike his bandmates' fitted looks, his was looser - a floor-length black leather coat over a relaxed suit, with a silver-grey tie as the sole accent to his all-black ensemble.
Due to his bulky, heavy clothing, Pei Luming's movent was also restricted. He took up nearly as much space as two people, and any slight movent risked bumping into others or crushing the carefully crafted wrinkles in his outfit, effectively restraining his hyperactive tendencies.
When Jiang Juyou received the notice to head downstairs, he found them still at the elevator, continuously yielding to senior artists. With their large group plus staff mbers, they couldn't fit in one elevator, and they kept encountering more seniors erging, resulting in a ten-minute wait without progress.
"Wow!" Upon approaching, Jiang Juyou expressed the sa amazent as the other artists at their styling.
Gao Xiayu bowed again in greeting, "Hello, Producer Jiang," with the others following suit.
Just as Jiang Juyou ca near, the elevator arrived. They were about to yield again when Jiang Juyou said, "Get in, you'll be late if you don't."
The five exchanged glances before inviting Jiang Juyou to join them. The five mbers plus Jiang Juyou and several staff mbers filled the elevator to capacity, traveling straight to B1 without stops.
Before getting into his car, Jiang Juyou glanced back at Titrain's vehicle - a spacious mid-size van with plenty of standing room. Though he couldn't see them inside, he could imagine their situation.
They'd probably have to stand the whole way.
Reality matched Jiang Juyou's prediction - the five mbers stood in the aisle, holding onto seats, mindful of both the road conditions and their outfits.
They couldn't even spare attention for the fans lining both sides of the road.
Fans stood along the entire route from the hotel to the venue, raising their phone flashlights when they spotted the van, trying to glimpse who was inside.
So artists would thoughtfully lower their windows to greet fans, and while Titrain wanted to do the sa, their outfits wouldn't allow it.
anwhile, the trio of fan photographers waited at the venue entrance for Titrain's arrival.
Jiang Liuxing and Liu Yue held caras while Zhou Keke watched their bags to prevent theft. The two fan site masters with their telephoto lenses noticed a particularly large van waiting outside the plaza.
The current vehicle stopping at the red carpet contained-
"Who is it?"
"When will they arrive?"
"Who's that?"
"Another nobody- Oh my god, it's Jiang Juyou!"
When the person in a suit stepped out and lifted their head, the venue erupted in screams that resembled squeaky toys.
Jiang Juyou, wearing a high-waisted suit, waved to the fans before walking forward with hands in pockets, exuding the aura of a visiting executive. The fans were so struck they forgot all their prepared complints.
Jiang Liuxing and Liu Yue's caras followed him from front to back until he reached the platform.
As the small van at the red carpet entrance departed, the large one approached.
"Such a big vehicle, could it be that nine-mber group?"
"Let's stay quiet then, don't give them attention."
"How excessive, using such a huge van. Why not bring a bus while they're at it?"
Mid-complaint, the large van's door opened. Chestnut-brown hair appeared first, followed by that distinctive styling. When he lifted his head, the venue briefly fell into chaos before erupting in screams that drowned out the ongoing interview, causing both the host and Jiang Juyou to look over.
Chi Qiao erged like an apocalyptic assassin, his imposing styling instantly captivating the audience. When the others followed, not a single fan or spectator could contain their excitent.
In the dostic entertainnt industry, only female artists typically put significant effort into styling, while male artists tend toward conservative and uninteresting looks. Even when they vary, it's usually the familiar wealthy young master style that lacks innovation.
But Titrain's red carpet appearance completely dominated the day's styling. Regardless of gender, they left the most profound impression.
Fashion bloggers were awaiting red carpet looks, and though the livestream had few viewers, it didn't stop them from sharing screenshots. Even before official photos or fan shots were available, Titrain's five mbers trended based on video screenshots alone.
#TitrainSlayingRedCarpet#
A cliché trending topic that anyone would assu was purchased, even prompting mockery of whoever chose such an outdated phrase.
Normally, casual observers wouldn't bother clicking, but this unremarkable phrase carried a [Viral] tag, with related trending topics featuring individual mbers - Chi Qiao alone occupied three spots.

"Random Entertainnt is really shaking things up! This power move is too much, how can other male artists compete?!"
"Raise the bar! I'm excited! Male artists better step up their ga!!!"
"Who's the styling team? Which studio? They're incredible!"
"This is the red carpet content I've been waiting for!"
"So envious... seriously..."
"Ti Train, if you keep this up, I might fall into your fandom!"
Ye Xing stood in the center position, and though the five mbers varied in height, their styling coordinated to create a uniform line. Their near-1.9-ter proportions created an unbeatable visual impact, especially following a recently-passed limited group whose mbers were ssily dressed and appeared disheveled, making the contrast even more striking.
While their five looks differed, the consistently dark tech aesthetic provided visual satisfaction to netizens, like completing a puzzle with the final piece, bringing an intense sense of fulfillnt.
The five of them stood before the display board. dia photographers were clicking their shutters faster than usual, while fans behind them had gone completely silent, rapidly capturing photos with their phones and caras.
The ssage Random Entertainnt wanted to convey to the public concluded with today's red carpet appearance - they would never be superficial, determined to create an industry-benchmark idol group.
Not just Titrain, but AIcho who ca after also elevated today's red carpet excitent to new heights. The four mbers' unified, minimalist romantic haute couture dresses gave the public a clearer understanding of Random Entertainnt's resource-pulling capabilities.
Idol styling can easily look cheap, and the princess dresses beloved by Chinese female celebrities weren't suitable for four people appearing together. So the stylists chose outfits from the sa brand with the sa the, with elents complenting each other, and styling appropriate for their age.
Titrain and AIcho's red carpet styling also brought attention to the styling team behind them. Looking on Weibo, people discovered it was a newly established team that even listed itself as belonging to Random Entertainnt.
"Title: Gossip Discussion/Wow! Has Random Entertainnt been secretly developing all these things behind our backs?"
"Today all Random Entertainnt artists' styling topped the trending searches. After digging, I found that while training trainees, they were also training their own behind-the-scenes staff."
"[KE] This studio was cultivated by Random Entertainnt, mainly doing styling for their artists. All Random Entertainnt artists' styling today was done by them."
"Another point is about makeup artists - Random Entertainnt signed eight makeup artists, seventeen makeup assistants, ten hair stylists, ten hair styling assistants, establishing [k]. They were responsible for the makeup of all Random Entertainnt artists today."
"These are just the ones who've shown themselves today, there are more who haven't appeared yet."
"Random Entertainnt has its own dance crews - [RnC][X][Drop][Waxx], four dance teams responsible for idol groups' choreography integration and backup dancing. They also regularly compete and choreograph for other artists."
"They also have their own music label called [MixRD], which hasn't signed any artists yet but has signed many music producers."
"I had no idea until I looked into it - it's shocking! When did they prepare all this? How was there not a single piece of news about it?"
"I'm truly shocked today."
Comnts section:
"I really want to dismantle my bias's studio and let them co here. That small workshop of his, I just..."
"Finally soone in the Chinese entertainnt industry doing real work."
"I'm neutral about Random Entertainnt's artists, but I really like Random Entertainnt itself, anyone get what I an?"
Aliali: 673ebb7bc4f3f33ac4eea64c"So impressive - just this level of dedication has pulled into their fandom."
"The styling for those five androids was absolutely perfect, never had such a feast for the eyes..."
"Finally understand what's to like about Random Entertainnt - the company is as career-driven as the fans, how can any fan resist that?"
"In an industry environnt where companies only move one step when pushed by fans, Random Entertainnt is winning completely."
"Dang it, the day Sangmo debuts is the day I'm buried deep in this fandom!"
Random Entertainnt's serious approach gave Chinese entertainnt fans a small shock - so this is what it feels like when a company is even more career-driven than the fans.
After the show ended, Random Entertainnt seed different.
That humble attitude of accepting criticism disappeared, replaced by a more aggressive stance, striking the market forcefully, receiving even stronger public feedback than before.
Repeatedly trending on searches was the best proof.
Other Chinese entertainnt fans: What have we been settling for all this ti? Ugh!
