Boy group: In order to survive, I have to open business

Hong Zhanglin signed a contract extension with C Company and is still using C Company's fan paid message software, namely Bubble, which is still being updated.

Previously, Bubble could see the updates and messages from his teammates, but the last update from the other six members of JP1 was forever frozen at the end of November last year. Now that the contract has changed, Hong Zhanglin will debut again as a solo singer. Now that he has no teammates, his previous updates can no longer be seen.

At the birthday party, Hong Zhanglin brought up this matter in a joking manner, but it gave others an indescribable feeling of heaviness.

Except for Xiao Yu and Yin Donghao who were in closed training, the other five people reunited, including former teammates. Those who had time came to the party. Xia Xinglang thought that Jin Chengxie would not come, but Chengxie said he would come.

Kim Seung Hyuk's original words were: "Jang Lin is a very nice person, so I want to go."

Yingzhi was there too. When they met again, he still sat next to Xiaolang. He looked at him no matter what he did, and even looked at him when he was bored.

Someone asked, "What is cake?"

“Ice cream cake.”

In the third year, they still ate ice cream cake. Zhang Lin's former teammates said that they had a good relationship in JP1, and they just smiled. In the end, everyone took a group photo, a large group photo of twelve people, including Hong Zhang Lin's friends in the circle. Kim Seung-hyuk and several other independent music producers chatted very well. Cha Jaehoon was a teammate twice, but he sat very far away from Hong Zhang Lin, next to Xia Xinglang.

Hong Zhanglin said thank you everyone for coming, it has been a long time since so many people gathered together to celebrate a birthday.

Zhang Lin is now working as an MC for a radio program and a music center, and will release a new album soon.

"I'm twenty-seven years old!" Hong Zhanglin blew out the candles, "Thank you all for celebrating my birthday with me this year."

Hong Zhanglin uploaded the group photo to his personal social media account. Everyone toasted together, and Xia Xinglang and Yingzhi drank juice.

Xia Xinglang always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Zhang Lin. Yingzhi put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Xiaolang, do you feel that I have changed in any way?"

Xia Xinglang then looked at Yingzhi seriously: "Her hair has been cut."

Yingzhi: "Yes, I have indeed repaired it. What else?"

"..."

"Can't you see?"

Xia Xinglang tried hard to find the difference: "Brother, you have pierced your ears!"

Yingzhi: "I have already called you."

Xia Xinglang gave up: "I can't guess."

Youngji said that he had eye surgery but still needs to wear glasses, and then talked about his debut plans: "I want to invite Syaoran to star in my MV."

"What do you want to say?"

"Keep it secret," Yingzhi acted quite mysterious, and Xia Xinglang agreed, which would not do him any harm.

Before the show ended, some people had already said goodbye and left. Xia Xinglang found an opportunity to ask the question again: "Brother, do you like me?"

Hong Zhanglin had the same reaction as the last time he was asked, showing a confused expression: "Is this question important?"

Xia Xinglang nodded vigorously, looking at him with anticipation: "Very important!"

"like."

“Without a subject and an object, who likes whom?”

"I, you."

"You like it? Say it again."

"I like you," Hong Zhanglin said awkwardly, his neck turning red. "Okay? I can't stand boys saying they like each other."

However, all this could not stop Xia Xinglang's brilliant smile, and he even leaned forward to kiss Hong Zhanglin on the cheek.

[The part for former teammate 'Hong Zhanglin' ​​has been completed! Please keep up the good work! Continue to the task for the next former teammate! ]

There are still those four options. Xia Xinglang decided to proceed from simple to difficult. Yingzhi is easy to talk to, so let's choose that.

In early July, J-company began to warm up for the new group and build momentum for the debut of Yin Donghao and Xiao Yu's new group. Although they did not have big stars in the circle hold up signs to count down for them, they also launched personal documentaries for the members, including internal auditions. However, no one paid much attention to it because everyone knew it was a script, just like "Idol Planet" also had a script.

Royal families are everywhere. The internal talent show of J Company is called "Supernova, Next Stop", which has a strong "Idol Planet" feeling. Xia Xinglang watched the first episode. The producer mainly favored Xiao Yu. After all, he was a trainee from J Company, so he would be somewhat biased. Xiao Yu had many more shots than others, and was created to be an image of a positive, sunny and active young man, an emperor on top of an emperor.

The treatment of other contestants is quite different, but anyone with a discerning eye watching the front editing can tell that there are only a few of them, and many of them are used to set off these stars, including Xiao Yu, Yin Donghao, and several other faces that Idol Planet has seen.

This kind of talent show configuration packaged into a group debut is clearly a way to ride on the popularity. Not only is it ugly, it is also not friendly to fans. Because there is no training and cultivation of the members, and they only want to make quick money, how can such fast-moving consumer goods last long? The evaluation of this internal talent show on the Internet has been declining again and again.

: If only the judges decide whether to stay or leave, and there is no audience voting, then why do we have talent shows?

: The Shark King ascends the throne

: The candidates for debut are Xiao Yu and Yin Donghao, nothing to watch, no suspense at all

: After all, she is an experienced contestant, it is really shameful for her to come to the talent show, and the company is too disgusting

Not only the audience who follow other trainees are angry, but fans of Xiao Yu and Dong Hao are also angry, because they debuted before and thought they would debut directly without having to go through all these things. But they still have to participate in auditions and start as trainees. This is simply a humiliation for them. So it is their due to be the emperor, otherwise they should just forget about it!

So there was another war of words. There were more than a dozen contestants and the show was very short. It only took three episodes to select a five-member group. Two episodes have been released so far. As a result, in the third episode, amid protests from a large number of netizens, the program team finally announced: We will no longer decide the candidates' stay or departure through judges. Everything will be left to the audience to vote. Please select the five members who will be voted for by the audience.

Most people have a rebellious mentality. The more the program team promotes someone, the less they will vote for him or her. They will vote for Zhang San, Li Si, and others rather than Xiao Yu or Yin Donghao. Therefore, based on this behavior, the final result was very dramatic. In the third episode, there were ten people left, and they were divided into two five-member groups to compete against each other. In the end, the team that was not favored, Yin Donghao and Xiao Yu, received more votes.

The production team didn't know how to explain it. They couldn't just make a vote despite the vote difference, as that would have an even worse impact. They could only let the runner-up group debut.

This wave of operations did not help in any substantial way except attracting negative attention. Fans of Yin Donghao and Xiao Yu were very angry and kept scolding the program team. Passersby left immediately after voting because they did not care about the performance level of the runner-up group at all. They just voted for the opponents out of anger, got the expected result, and then left.

J Agency was caught between a rock and a hard place, and in the end the person they wanted to promote didn't make their debut. Yin Donghao and Xiao Yu had no expression on their faces, and it seemed that they were reluctant to participate in this kind of program from the beginning.

The last episode was broadcast live on the platform. At the end of the show, each contestant was interviewed. The runner-up group who were preparing to debut were so moved that they cried and said they never expected to debut. Yin Donghao and Xiao Yu looked at the ceiling in the studio with expressionless faces, and no one knew what they were thinking.

The host asked them how they felt, and Xiao Yu made an official self-examination: "I will still work hard, because as the captain, I failed to achieve coordination among the members, which is my fault."

Yin Donghao also said: "Everyone has a strong personality. A group needs various roles, and someone has to mediate. I failed to do a good job of mediation."

"May I ask how you feel now?"

Xiao Yu glanced at Yin Donghao: "I'm not in the mood."

"What made you insist on participating in the draft again?"

Xiao Yu: "Can I tell the truth?"

The host nodded.

Xiao Yu looked at the photographer's camera: "Will this part be cut?"

Host: "We are live now, and there are audiences interacting in the comment area. Let me repeat the question, what makes you insist on participating in the draft again?"

Xiao Yu: "Because I signed a contract. If I don't come, I will be scolded and my salary will be deducted."

The host turned to Yin Donghao: "... Then what about Donghao? What made you persevere?"

Yin Donghao said indifferently: "Because of the contract."

host:"……"

Yin Donghao added: "I want to be a soloist, not a member of a group."

Xiao Yu was unconvinced and said, "I don't want to either."
