How to become an ACE of a top boy group

Chapter 184 Work, Work, and Work (Part 3)

With the presence of China's top idol One Origin, along with a host of famous singers and the phenomenal support of April Wind, Mexico's 20th anniversary concert was a resounding success, unsurprisingly topping the trending searches in China that day.

【April Wind reunites the four wind gods after fourteen years】Topped the trending search list.

All the April Wind fans returned online to start their celebration. Those who occupied half of the audience seats at the family concert talked about how good the performance was, how good the four wind gods were, and how their singing was still so beautiful. Those who couldn't get tickets prayed that April Wind would hold a solo concert. Some discussed Mina's stage fright back then. Many more were saddened by the uncertainty of when they would reunite.

At the time, Luo Xi was fortunate to be in a good position. Years later, the four girls of April Wind, each with their own careers, had become mature adults. Lulu, Mina, Ye Xiaomian, and Bai Ke were still wearing the green shorts from "Spring Thoughts," and the stage design and background were identical to the stage that once exuded the atmosphere of spring. They meticulously recreated the memories unique to the four winds, allowing the audience to travel back in time to the past when they first encountered April Wind…

Who wouldn't be moved by such a scene? When pink petals were finally scattered from the sky, each member of April Wind choked up as they spoke to their fans. The four of them then hugged each other in a circle, just like they always do. Luo Xi couldn't help but shed tears as well.

Other topics that trended on the hot search list included 【One Origin's National Tour After "Life Reorganization"】, 【Mexico-Japan Trainees】, and 【Official Edited Video of the Mexico-Japan Family Concert Released】, including 【New Stage for "Cold Air" Opening Performance by Luo Xi, Ying Cheng, and Liu Jibai】.

It's obvious that a lot of marketing copy and posts about Luo Enxi will appear, such as "He's not Gu Minxing, he's the rightful heir of Yingcheng appointed by Mo Ri", "A voice even more refreshing than a watermelon, the forgotten four-singing-one", "How terrifying is the overlooked singing ability of ILetter Luo Enxi? The singers praise him in private"... Because the titles and content are too controversial, they are ridiculed in a small group.

As a result, many VCs emerged to speak up for their idols. Almost every negative comment that accused her of having "unusual resources" and being "ineffectively promoted by her company" was countered by others. Her personal account's follower count continued to rise, and her previous selfies, red carpet photos, group photos, etc., all received thousands of likes and comments.

In contrast, Luo Xi's search for topics related to Liu Jibai in the "Cold Air" stage yielded very few results. A few fans who liked Liu Jibai edited together his scenes, but only a dozen or so views were achieved. Liu Jibai's personal Weibo account also stagnated at around one million followers, making it the account with the fewest followers in Fiction (D).

Luo Xi was indeed happy that her good points, her efforts, and her charm were finally being recognized, and that more people liked her. At the same time, she couldn't help but think of Liu Jibai's words.

She thought to herself, "Liu Jibai is right. I did benefit from marketing. Even though my singing skills are not as good as his, I still got all the attention."

041 responded instantly: [041 disagrees with this idea! Luo Xi, you also have your own strengths! Besides your singing, there's also your dancing, facial expression management, etc. Your overall performance is the best, which is why so many people like you! You're doing very well, which is why the marketing is effective. Your singing is also constantly improving, and one day you'll surpass Liu Jibai!]

[But marketing is still very unfair...]

Rosie felt a little ashamed and lost her usual enthusiasm for browsing all the pages praising her.

After thinking for a long time, she finally sent Liu Jibai a message, saying some encouraging words without any context. Then, she posted a new update on her Weibo account:

ILetter_Luo Enxi: @Fiction(D)_Liu Jibai: Jibai has been teaching me to sing all this time, which is why I was able to perform well on the "Cold Air" stage. Although I'm back on stage now, there's still a big gap between me and Jibai. Teach me again next time, and let's work together to improve!

"Backstage photo of Ron and Liu Jibai" "Puppy sprinting expression" "Video of Liu Jibai's solo performance"

After clicking send, she closed all the pages and started browsing videos of natural landscapes that were unrelated to people and events.

While scrolling, I somehow ended up back in the entertainment industry and came across a teaser for "wavewe," the junior group of Dream Star's new boy band DAYDAY, to officially debut on March 12.

The trailer heavily utilizes natural elements such as grasslands, forests, mountains, pandas, and foxes. Individual trailers for the three members and a group concept trailer have been released so far. It seems to continue DAYDAY's quirky style while also bringing a refreshing feel of nature. In particular, Luo Xi saw two familiar faces, Ning Li and Ye Zhixi, in his individual trailer. Another member is Ai Wen, who has a slightly mixed-race look.

The comments in the preview are all positive. The baby was born, and even the nickname "Wei" has been chosen. It has to be said that this debut environment is much better than that of ILitterer, who was born in a bloody and turbulent environment.

The concepts and art design styles they've released so far are truly comparable to ILeTer's level. This will be a formidable competitor.

I turned off my phone and leaned back in the seat to rest.

Today is Luo Xi's personal schedule for a luxury brand endorsement shoot, filming the spring/summer menswear collection for "Jinlu Guixun," one of China's seven major luxury brand endorsements.

Jinlu Guixun, along with Guose and Shexiang, are three of the world's top luxury brands that inherit the traditional Chinese clothing system, each with a history of over a century. All three are centered on Eastern aesthetics and have developed comprehensive fashion industry lines with the times, but each leads in its own area.

Shexiang started with traditional incense products and has the largest perfume industry chain in China; Guose was a chain of perfume shops that monopolized Jingzhou as early as the last century and is now a world-class enterprise representing the oriental cosmetics industry; Jinlu Guixun is famous for its consistently high-quality oriental dresses, jewelry, accessories and leather goods.

Jin Luguixun's filming location this time was his headquarters in Jingzhou. Luo Xi, along with her company assistant and accompanying team, departed from Haicheng Haida Airport and finally arrived in Jingzhou half an hour later. Because it was an unannounced trip, no one noticed them on the way out of the airport, and they quickly got into the car to go to the filming location.

Compared to the skyscrapers of Haicheng, the buildings in Jingzhou are more spacious and level, with ancient pavilions maintaining a consistent floor height, making the sky appear more open. The roads are also simpler and straighter, and the slow-moving pedestrians and vehicles have a rustic and relaxing feel. What's truly unique is the architectural style here—a wonderful blend of ancient eaves and high walls, bell towers, and pavilions with modern roads. It's currently March, and many peach trees with white and pink blossoms are nestled among the red-painted roof beams.

After getting off the bus and entering the Fashion Plaza, Luo Xi finally found a trace of Haicheng: layers upon layers of glass skyscrapers, countless familiar giant advertising screens, and all sorts of bustling shops and fashion boutiques. She walked and looked around, following her entourage all the way to Jin Luguixun's building.

The new menswear collection for Spring/Summer by Jin Lu Gui Xun also features newcomer actor Luo Shuang and newcomer singer Qla as brand ambassadors. They, along with Luo Xi, are emerging artists targeting the new market and will be promoted as brand friends, filming a promotional video and a series of clothing advertisement photos. After the shoot, they will be certified as brand friends on the official Jin Lu Gui Xun website account.

Aside from the larger dressing room, more upscale shooting set, and a huge selection of sample clothes, Luo Xi felt that the shooting was no different from usual.

She was currently wearing a new menswear piece by Kim Ryu-gwi, a brand known for its modern Chinese style, which was expected to be released globally in a week. It was said to be made of expensive hand-woven silk fabric, and indeed, it felt cool and smooth to the touch. The classic stand-up collar black short-sleeved top was very lightweight, featuring a subtle floral print of daffodils and laurel branches, representing Kim Ryu-gwi. It had thin shoulder pads but was very soft to wear, and the short sleeves had a split design. The bottom was a well-fitting mid-length shorts made of the same material, paired with a brown leather belt, leather shoes, and a gold watch, giving it a very retro feel.

Her makeup was still the same as before, with heavy eyeshadow, defined facial features, and red lips, giving her a villainous look. However, this time the makeup was more translucent? Perhaps it was because of the blush on her face that it had a retro and energetic feel.

After completing the photoshoot for this outfit, Luo Xi changed into two more outfits, earning many "Perfect Shoot" points. Afterward, she changed back into her own clothes and rested in her seat in the sample clothing area.

At that moment, a young girl walked over, startling Luo Xi.

She had a pair of expressive eyes and a beautiful face. Her long black hair was tied up in a knot with a metal diamond bobby pin, with a few strands of black hair floating on the knot. She wore a loose-fitting blue and white printed denim jacket, with a blue and white knitted skirt with the logo of Jin Lu Guixun underneath. A small white leather bag with a very thin silver chain hanging on her left shoulder was draped over her left shoulder. She was simply adorned with sparkling yellow and blue gemstone jewelry and metal bear earrings.

Luo Xi blurted out, "Lin Miao! What are you doing here?!"

Of course, Rosie immediately realized that her previous life was over and that she was now facing a complete stranger with whom she had never crossed paths before.

But this stranger looks exactly like her former teammate! Why? Did Lin Miao also get into trouble and transmigrate here?
