Chapter 7 School Opened and Dispute

That summer you and I were both there, on this vast and tranquil sea.

"Xiao Chuhong bombarded all the major film companies for lack of conscience and unqualified production of work!", "Star Institute opened, and the bosses of all the big management companies gathered", "Was it good intentions or deliberately creating hype, Xiao Chuhong made bold words on Star Institute opening ceremony..."

The next day, the interview of Star Institute's opening was forwarded by the major media and occupied the headlines of the entertainment page in various forms and titles, bringing vitality to the entertainment market after You Ruohan's death.

"Teacher Xiao, you are really not polite at all!" Director Huang, the chief director, looked at today's entertainment report and smiled bitterly.

It was easy to talk big but difficult to make things happen.

Director Huang had spent many years advancing to where he was today. He did not wish Star Institute to become his last work. Xiao Chuhong had said that the quality of the students' studies and programs must be higher than the expectations of the media and the audience. Only then would there be a second and third season.

If he failed, he still had to go back and continue shooting his advertisements and MV. The burden on his shoulders was extremely heavy!

"I was being polite. In the words of netizens, I haven't used my big moves yet." Xiao Chuhong said disdainfully.

If those unscrupulous companies and producers could do it, why couldn't she say it?

"It's just that this way, the pressure on us will be much greater. And if we really don't handle it well, we will be laughed at by the industry this time." Director Huang was a little worried.

"It's a good thing to have attention and controversy, and the greater the pressure, the greater the motivation, isn't it?" Xiao Chuhong also knew the powerful relationship behind this, but she had to do it, "All of our students are top-notch. If we teach them well, we will be slapping the companies and media in the face!"

The major film production companies did not dare to voice their anger. However angry they were, they did not dare to say anything too harsh. After all, they still had to rely on the star resources of the major management companies. Public arguing was not good. However, not arguing did not mean that they did not bear grudges. They were waiting for Star Institute to make a mistake when they would add insult to its injury.

It had been several years since training programs cheated stars and audiences before leaving. Despite their constant rise and fall, the stars made a lot of money. Now there was the tough Xiao Chuhong, with whom they could not argue face to face. They could only hire some reporters to start a fire and say some sarcastic words.

While Xiao Chuhong and Director Huang were discussing, the Internet also exploded.

Some cheered while some disdained, and most of them were not optimistic and complained - Xiao Chuhong, you were just the owner of a dance school looking for trouble.

No matter how the public opinion on the Internet showed, Star Institute's promotion effect had been achieved.

Star Institute's official Weibo account took the opportunity to release the early promotional video as well as the complete video of Xiao Chuhong and the others being interviewed yesterday. The number of clicks in an hour broke through a million and successfully made it into the top ten. Moreover, it was constantly rising straight to the throne of the champion.

Pudong Satellite TV, who had signed a contract with Star Institute in advance, also released the behind-the-scenes clips. Handsome boys and beautiful girls gathered on Hainan Island. This huge team of beautiful young men instantly attracted a lot of onlookers who attached great importance to appearance.

While the promotional work for "Star Institute" was in full swing, the advertising of the program was also in sync. In the building of Pudong Satellite TV, the major commercials and the people in charge were watching the samples edited by Director Huang together, and the bidding conference would be held later.

Xiao Chuhong was originally going to participate in the bidding conference, but Star Institute needed her to take over the teacher's lessons, so she couldn't leave and had to give up.

After recording the self-introduction of the 48 students, the instructor part was also completed. Several executive directors directed the other staff members to receive the documents sent back from all over the room according to the plan. The editorial department also began to edit and try to cut out the rough version. At night, they handed it to Director Huang and Xiao Chuhong to check.

Lunch was provided by the hotel, but the dining area was the already built canteen. Not used to eating surrounded by a group of people and cameras at the beginning, students ate less food. After slowly adjusting and adapting, they would only eat more than before and would not be like today.

"This morning, it was really..." Liu Sisi couldn't find any words to describe her feelings at this moment.

"How many times have you recorded it? I recorded five times before the director let me go! Oh my god! So many machines and staff followed along the way. I..."

She did not dare to forget Zhang Ji's words, so she could only swallow the rest of the words.

An Zidong nodded as he ate, "I also did it five times. I don't know which one is the best."

When she was a young teacher, no matter if it were for training or pre-lesson, there were video cameras all the way. Feng Yufei had long been used to starting again once failed, so she did not complain about it with Liu Sisi. However, her performance before the camera was definitely not as good as those trained actors, nor was she as natural as An Zidong.

"I did it three times!" Feng Yufei's pronunciation was still so unique, and the Beijing-American accent amused Liu Sisi.

"I heard that 80 percent of the student have signed a management company and 20 percent of them are recruited by Teacher Xiao through interviews. None of them are weak!" This was the information Liu Sisi had gotten from the girls.

"By the way, I also saw students from other countries. It's terrible. If I lose to them, I will be embarrassed!"

Listening to Liu Sisi's little worry, Feng Yufei thought that it was true. The newcomers in the Chinese top five management companies lost to unknown players in the surrounding small countries. It was really bad.

"Look over there. Do you see that girl with big eyes and white skin? She is one of the 20 percent." Liu Sisi raised her chin and looked at Li Muqing who was eating in the southeast corner.

"She is a new student in Teacher Xiao's troupe. She lives next to me. We even chatted for a while last night."

Feng Yufei looked in the direction that Liu Sisi pointed. She didn't know if the other side had noticed their gazes. When An Zidong and Feng Yufei looked over, she also did the same.

What a pair of beautiful eyes!

The students that Star Institute recruited in the first year had good looks and temperament. They were either very talented in some aspects. Li Muqing was beautiful, but her beauty was different from ordinary people's. Li Muqing belonged to the kind of beauty that was stunning at first sight, and the more people looked at her, the more beautiful she was. With just a glance, she brought great pressure on Liu Sisi and Feng Yufei.

The elimination of "Star Institute" had nothing to do with gender, only depending on the score. The more comprehensive a star was, the safer he would be. Despite high scores in one aspect, if there were too many shortcomings, one would be easily pushed down.

During lunchtime, the students were discussing each other in twos and threes. In the computer room, the deputy director looked at this scene and couldn't help but laugh out loud when recalling the shooting for the next few days.

"These students are really naive!" the deputy director lamented.

"Right now, they are all trying to make friends in twos and threes, but after the afternoon, it might not be the case!"

"Take a nap for an hour. We will meet in the big classroom at 2:30 p.m." The executive director and staff confirmed the instructions one by one before starting to eat.

After lunch, some of the staff could rest for half an hour, but the executive director had to go back to the computer room to check on the morning shooting. If it failed, they would have to find the corresponding students to make up for it after they were dismissed in the afternoon.

"Ah Fei, what do you think will happen in the afternoon?" An Zidong laid down very politely. After all, there was a camera, so he still had to be careful.

Feng Yufei did not care so much. As long as it was not too ugly, she preferred comfortable postures.

"I don't know. I guess it's still a meeting! The students are in a mess right now, and it's not convenient for the teachers to give classes."

An Zidong nodded in agreement, "I only filmed for a while in the morning. Now I feel so tired! I really admire those actors who can shoot all day."

"Maybe the feeling and requirements after work will be different!" Feng Yufei's tone was much lighter. After a whole morning, she was actually tired.

An Zidong thought about it, it seemed that people were forced out, and his mom was much different before and after work.

"Yes!" He did not hear Feng Yufei's response and could not fall asleep, so he could only squint his eyes and let his imagination run wild.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Who is it!" Feng Yufei slept very lightly and woke up when hearing the knock on the door.

"Hello! I am a staff member of the program team. Come over now and wake the students up! The car is already waiting downstairs. You have to get down quickly!"

"Okay! Thank you!" Feng Yufei glanced at the camera, turned around, and thanked the staff member as if nothing had happened.

This group of people even had to shoot when they got up! She complained in her heart.

"Are we going down?" An Zidong slept late, and his eyes had not completely opened.

"Yes! The staff is knocking on the door one by one!"

Feng Yufei folded the quilt and An Zidong reached out a hand towards her voice.

"Pull me up!"

There was nothing she can do about him! Feng Yufei grabbed his hand and pulled him up from the bed.

"Excuse me, may I sit here?" Feng Yufei got into the car before An Zidong, and as soon as he sat down, a student asked him this.

It was her! What a coincidence! Just as Liu Sisi mentioned Li Muqing during lunch, Feng Yufei met her in the afternoon.

"Sure! There is no one here." Feng Yufei smiled.

"Okay, thank you!" Li Muqing gave Feng Yufei a warm smile.

After getting into the car, An Zidong habitually walked towards his seat in the morning, only to find that someone already sat next to Feng Yufei, so he had to sit nearby. After sitting down, he glanced at the person sitting in his seat in the morning. Only then did he realize that this person was actually Li Muqing, who had nodded at him during lunch.

"Hello! My name is Li Muqing. What about you?" Seeing An Zidong's gaze, Li Muqing was very excited. She forced herself to hold her breath and greeted him as naturally as possible.

"Oh! Hello! My name is An Zidong!"

"You are An Zidong!?" Li Muqing pretended to be surprised.

"Hello! I didn't expect you to be a student of the idol class. My mother really likes you!" Hearing Li Muqing's last sentence, the corners of An Zidong's mouth twitched. This habit and personality were no different from the previous life.

After confirming his eyes and expression, he was still the same person as before!

As soon as Li Muqing finished speaking, people in the car all turned their heads over.

Most of them knew who An Zidong was. It was just that they did not have the opportunity to strike up a conversation before. Being watched by so many cameras, they could not let go of their pride and take the initiative to befriend him. Now that someone had paved the way, they all got up to greet him.

After the chaos, the car returned to normal. Having just been looked at by more than ten pairs of eyes at such a close distance, An Zidong was a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"Male god, which high school in Beiping are you in?" After everyone returned to their seats, Li Muqing asked An Zidong curiously.

The word "male god" hadn't become popular on the Internet, but An Zidong had completely understood its meaning after hearing it once.

"In the No. 5 High School." An Zidong answered honestly. Anyway, after the program was broadcast, everyone could find out.

"Oh! I thought you would choose an art school!" Li Muqing showed a little surprise at the right time. With a decent smile, An Zidong didn't mind her surprised tone at all, as if that was how it should be.

Unexpectedly, she was still very talented in acting. Li Muqing successfully deceived An Zidong and gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.

"After learning music for so long, I want to learn something else." An Zidong replied.

"Oh!" Li Muqing followed his gaze and looked at Feng Yufei, replying thoughtfully.

She still wanted to take the opportunity and get familiar with An Zidong, but she didn't expect that even if Feng Yufei didn't make a sound the whole time, An Zidong's attention was still quietly shifted to him, which made Li Muqing a little frustrated.

Feng Yufei watched all of this quietly from the side. She did not go up to take photos with An Zidong like the other students and ask for autographs, nor did she disturb Li Muqing and An Zidong's chat. She watched from the side. Seeing the group of teenagers chasing stars, she suddenly remembered her high school days.

At that time, she probably liked the Song God Zhang. It seemed that JJ Lun was also popular at that time! She hid several posters of JJ Lun, especially the one with bare abdominal muscles. She had been teased by her high school roommates, making her feel ashamed many times.

There was also Song God Zhang, who was not impressive at first sight. But the more she listened, the more she fell in love with him. Every time she reminisced his love songs, there was a kind of heart-wrenching pain. How could there be such a person in this world? How could there be such a kind of voice telling the complicated feelings hidden deep in everyone's heart?

The past was like smoke. Suddenly, Feng Yufei felt extremely lonely. It was the loneliness of memories that could not be shared with others.

It really was "After leaving for so many years, there should be beautiful scenes. Even if there are thousands of charming affairs, who should I tell?"

The intercommunication and resonance of human emotions were something that Feng Yufei experienced long after. At that time, she was completely different from today.

The moment the light in Feng Yufei's eyes went down, An Zidong's gaze involuntarily shifted from Li Muqing's face to her.

From the first time he met him until now, he had been unable to understand that youth.

He was unconsciously attracted to him, not because of his good looks, but because of the mystery around him.

It wasn't easy to see through a little, but you saw more mysteries.

What kind of person, family, and environment had created him today?
