0713: You who shine in the parallel world

Long Danni did not come alone, she also brought a few camera teachers to follow her.

Before she came in, a staff member knocked on the door of Yu Yu and the other four's dressing room, interrupting them as they were looking at old posters and making fun of each other.

At that time, they were taking pictures of the posters and posting them in the group, tagging Su Xing and Wang Zhengliang who did not come to take the photos, and mocking them for why their previous photo poses were so embarrassing.

As they were laughing, a staff member knocked on their door and asked if they had time to do a behind-the-scenes shot, as they had a "mysterious old friend" coming to visit.

Mysterious old friend? The brothers looked at each other, hahaha what a surprise, they really couldn't imagine who else this old friend could be except Long Danni.

"Okay, we are waiting for the makeup artist to come, so we can take this opportunity to do an interview." Lu Yitong nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, but this is not an interview. We are just shooting behind-the-scenes footage. You can just chat with your old friends and don't have to worry about me and the cameraman." The staff member explained, "If there are no questions, can we get started?"

He was quite polite and courteous, and even asked them if they could start filming, as if he wouldn't film if they didn't agree. Yu Yu pouted inwardly, but nodded like everyone else to indicate that they could start "reminiscing about the past".

Only then did Long Danni walk in with big strides.

Yu Yu hadn't seen her in person for many years. She didn't look much different from before, except that her face showed more signs of aging.

She still had her hair tied in a low ponytail, with a kind smile trained over the years on her face. When she saw the five people in the room, a trace of sadness flashed across her brows, and a not-too-false look of nostalgia appeared on her face.

"Long time no see, kids."

Yu Yu was not impressed by her attitude of always regarding herself as their "mother". Although his parents died early in his previous life and his mother in this life also died of childbirth complications, he was not the kind of poor boy who lacked maternal love to the point of being narcissistic and being taken care of by older women.

He will only have two mothers, who cannot be replaced by anyone.

What's more, Long Danni's title of "Long Mama" is more like a kind of personality that she is selling, although the concept of selling personality did not exist back then.

Yu Yu, who is young in body but middle-aged in soul, can tell at a glance that all the "kindness" that Long Danni had shown them back then was utilitarian.

She would only be nice to people with potential, and those with weaker abilities or mediocre qualifications would not receive any attention from her. She also preferred to show motherly care to young, innocent and easy-to-control children.

As the chief director of the competition that year, they spent more time with Long Danni than with their own family members. Young people in their early twenties, who were young and far away from their families and had not experienced the harshness of society, were prone to trusting others. What's more, this "other person" was always concerned about them.

This was the case with the young Wang Yuexin back then. She almost regarded Long Danni as a close elder sister. At first, she didn't even believe that she would target other people she didn't like, let alone that she was actually a selfish person who would do anything to achieve her ambition of the show and creating the first boy band in China.

Later, when she and TY gradually overdrew his youthful capital and talent, and even used his contract to prevent him from continuing his university studies in order to keep him performing in commercial performances, Wang Yuexin saw clearly that she was too naive before.

Zhang Yuan is the same. He is not the kind of person who is good at rejecting others.

Long Danni had already figured him out. She didn't realize that she was doing it for his own good behind the scenes and "gave" the resources and songs that originally belonged to him to others. Later, because he didn't rank high when he debuted, she even threw him into a boy band and didn't want to spend any more energy on him.

If Yu Yu hadn't urged him to study if he wanted to, and if he wanted to improve his music theory, he could just go ahead and help deal with it if anything went wrong, he would be afraid that he would miss out on his dream.

"Ah! It's Mother Long!"

Compared to Yu Yu's speechless expression, the part-time actor Wang Yuexin was indeed a professional. After seeing Long Danni, she immediately broke into an ecstatic smile and rushed over to give Long Danni a warm hug, which froze Long Danni's expression for a moment as she had wanted to deliberately show an expression of surprise after seeing Chen Tansheng.

Yu Yu was not sure whether Wang Yuexin noticed that Long Danni automatically caught Chen Tansheng's eyes as soon as she entered the door. She did this because she was still holding a grudge against the sky-high penalty for breach of contract.

Chen Huisheng is a decent man. After leaving TY, he never said anything bad about her. He also took the initiative to clarify that he never held a grudge. The penalty for breach of contract is not something she can decide alone. But his decency does not mean that the other party is also a decent person.

And Wang Yuexin is a really good kid. He will really help when there is something going on.

It was agreed in Chen Xiansheng's room last night that he would be the front tank, and now he was really blocking the front, not giving Long Danni any chance to show off to her big brother.

The picture does look quite warm, but if the person cooperating with him was someone else with whom he had a better relationship, the effect might be more realistic.

"Wow, Mother Long, really, I didn't expect it, it's been a long time since we last met." Zhang Yuan clapped and agreed, but the tone of these words always felt a bit exaggerated.

Chen Xiansheng and Lu Hu stood aside with smiling faces and said nothing.

Yu Yu, on the other hand, had a much friendlier smile on his face. After all, he had been practicing facial expression management since he was a child. His perverted family even offered him etiquette classes since he was a child.

Long Danni hugged everyone. When it was Yu Yu's turn, she put on a gentle and bright mask and looked at her with curved eyebrows and eyes: "Sister Danni, how are you recently? You look really good, and you are getting younger and younger."

Long Danni looked at the handsome nobleman in front of her, as if she saw again the young man who amazed everyone back then. Fifteen years later, after his delicate and tender eyes and eyebrows had grown bigger, he became even more dazzling. If he had made his debut under her guidance back then, who knows how popular he would be now.

But the distance in his eyes without any smile was exactly the same as before. Just like fifteen years ago, if you only look at the perfect social mask he showed to outsiders, I'm afraid no one would imagine that he was the same person as the hidden boss who warned her overtly and covertly on the phone before.

Long Danni even doubted whether his good friends knew the true nature of this seemingly handsome and harmless boy.

Sometimes she really admired his talent and his appearance that could make money directly from anywhere, just like she admired Chen Hesheng, Wang Yuexin, Zhang Yuan, and Lu Hu, they could all bring her benefits.

But she really hated him, just like she hated Su Xing for being too smart and clever to control, hated Wang Zhengliang for being too talented and sticking to his own principles, hated Chen Xisheng for wanting to terminate his contract with TY during his most popular and profitable years, she also hated Yu Yu for meddling in other people's business, hated his powerful background, hated him for being too clear-headed...

I hate that they have such talent but can't use it for themselves.

But it doesn’t matter. After so many years, they have long lost their former superstar aura in the eyes of today’s younger generation of fans. In this program, their talents will become stepping stones for the new generation of idols.

So, Long Danni pretended to be nostalgic and said, "Hey, I see you backstage now, sitting in a dressing room, waiting for your makeup. It's like seeing you backstage during the competition, waiting for 'Mother Luo' to do your makeup. It's been fifteen years, and you're still here, and I have produced batches of new people under me."

The tone of your voice sounds like you're going to cause trouble.

Yu Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Yuexin. Both of them understood the meaningful look in each other's eyes.

"Has it been fifteen years? You're standing here, and I thought you were here to inform us to go up and PK right away."

Lu Hu smiled and said that sometimes he was just wise in a foolish way. When Lu Hu was not stupid, he was still quite intelligent, or in other words, he was very emotionally intelligent and good at speaking.

Since Long Danni didn't explain it clearly, they pretended not to understand and gave her a smiling and soft rejection while making jokes.

Long Danni knew that they would not fall into the trap on their own initiative. They were no longer the naive children they used to be. What's more, there was a cunning sea snake disguised as a mermaid hiding among them.

So after Long Danni finished laying the groundwork, she began to talk about the following: "It's quite magical. The first generation of talent show stars and the new generation of talent show stars that came out of my hands are gathered in one program. Zhennan is just like you guys back then. They all debuted through national talent shows. I wonder what kind of sparks will be created?"

Oh, are they going to start a competition and stir up fans of both sides to stir up the heat? Idols born in today's fan circle culture are very competitive in terms of popularity. A little bit of trouble can cause a lot of irrational fans to stir up a thousand layers of waves, and their similar debut identities are already controversial.

If one word is not said well and then it is maliciously edited and hyped by Long Danni, oh no.

"I think the term 'spark collision' may not be quite accurate. The music stage is a collaborative stage for mutual appreciation and learning. On this show, we jointly perform concert-themed performances for all the audience and fans, making everyone happy. This is the best collaboration."

Chen Xinsheng's speech with his South China Sea accent sounds slow and gentle, and when he earnestly expresses his thoughts that are a mixture of emotion and rationality, this feeling of a gentle gentleman is even stronger.

This was a perfect answer without any flaws, but it was not the answer that Long Danni wanted.

"Heisheng is still so sincere about music." Long Danni sighed, "I also thought that you could teach and support the younger generation. As a senior, he can still learn a lot from you."

"Music requires communication and integration from many aspects," Yu Yu smiled. "All the musicians invited to this program are excellent. People like me who have been away from the Chinese music scene for many years need to learn from all the musicians."

"But Xiaoyu, there are some things that you'd better not learn randomly." Wang Yuexin suddenly raised her index finger seriously.

Yu Yushang said, "Oh? What is it?"

"For example, the IQ of Mr. Zhang and Mr. Lu."

Yu Yu and Chen Tansheng laughed out loud, but Zhang Yuan and Lu Hu were unhappy——

"What do you mean, Wang Yuexin? Do you think you have no share in Yuelai and Yuejiangzhi?"
