The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 142

The vote data is still being tallied, and besides Li Hanming, Pioneer Entertainment has brought in other young artists who came with gifts to cheer on the sisters.

After the host facilitated interaction among the guests on stage, they were asked to begin their stage performances, and Qin Wei could finally go backstage to rest.

Li Hanming is a highly valued trainee in the company. His ranking in the artistic examination is very high, and he has been consistently performing well in the college entrance examination. Therefore, the company announced his official debut on his birthday, marking the beginning of his showbiz career.

Currently, "Unfurl the Sails Against the Wind" is enjoying great popularity. After inviting Shen Kai as a guest, the program's popularity doubled. Many companies wanted to establish a connection between their artists and the show, and Pioneer Entertainment was no exception.

Taking advantage of the good relationship between Li Hanming and Qin Wei, Pioneer Entertainment actively contacted the production team, who found the sibling relationship intriguing and agreed to the collaboration.

As a result, Pioneer Entertainment had Li Hanming bring several fellow trainees to appear on the show together, increasing their exposure.

Although this approach may not be entirely authentic, they were all professionally trained and their performances on stage were stable.

Qin Wei sat in the backstage resting room, watching the live broadcast on the screen:

"How important you are to me,

I regret not letting you know.

Listening quietly to your coquettishness,

Watching you sleep until we grow old.

I just can't bring myself to tell her,

It's just a few simple sentences that I can't do.

..."

Because the atmosphere was lively throughout the entire process, they chose a slow song. However, the performance was steady, and Li Hanming's voice was pleasant to listen to. When he sang this song, it was like telling a story.

Qin Wei watched attentively because there was much to learn from both the stage performance and singing techniques...

...

A total of twenty people were eliminated in this performance, and the remaining thirty were divided into two large groups. The competition format still consisted of large group performances and small group performances, but this time there were only two large groups with more people, while the small groups consisted of three members determined by drawing lots.

As the competition progressed to nearly halfway, both the members and the audience reached the most exhausted stage.

Therefore, before the end of the third performance, the host Yang Xiao officially announced the beginning of an excursion, confirming the previous rumors circulating online.

After following three episodes of performances and intense daily training, even the audience who initially had less interest in the show became curious about this upcoming segment. Once it was announced, the show's topic gained momentum again.

The chief director breathed a temporary sigh of relief. It was difficult to produce new shows as well as maintain the existing ones. Once the audience started feeling tired, failure was not far off. Therefore, they had to repeatedly attempt changes to cater to the audience's taste, calling it an "upgraded competition format."

...

After a series of arrangements, the grouping finally ended, and thus the third round came to a close. The program generously gave the remaining artists three days off and instructed them to prepare their luggage as they would be going on a trip in three days.

However, for these popular artists, the program's break meant the beginning of overtime work, and Qin Wei was no exception.

Sitting in the business car, Youyou turned her head and whispered to Li Yao:

"Brother, is she always like this?"

Li Yao nodded, but felt a bit embarrassed and added, "It's not like this every time..."

Youyou turned her head to the other side.

At this moment, Qin Wei was sitting next to her, holding an open book in her hand, but she was already slouched in her seat, fast asleep.

If she wasn't restrained by a seatbelt, who knows how she would be sleeping right now...

Youyou sighed.

"Sister Qin Wei is both genuine and adorable. How lucky am I to work in the same company as her? I must cherish the opportunity she has given me and strive to be like her in the future."

Li Yao felt his temples starting to throb and couldn't help but rub them with his hand.

"Youyou, you don't have to. Just be yourself. A company can't handle so many artists of that type..."

Youyou absentmindedly responded with an "Mhmm" and then leaned over to Qin Wei's side, curiously looking at the book in her hand.

"I've been catching up on Sister Qin Wei's variety shows these past few days. Turns out she really likes reading!"

Li Yao smiled helplessly.

"This book, it was sent to her by Qiao Sixiao. He said it's a novel he wants to adapt into a TV drama and asked her to take a look.

She's been busy with training all this time, and the casting hasn't even started yet, so she can't really read it in front of the camera. She found some time now to read it."

Youyou was a bit curious and reached out to take the book, but unexpectedly, Qin Wei suddenly sat up and bumped into her, causing her vision to blur with stars.

"Ouch..."

Qin Wei covered her head and opened her eyes, looking at Youyou, who was also holding her head, with a bewildered expression for a moment.

"Can we not practice dancing today?"

Youyou: "?"

Li Yao, however, found it nothing out of the ordinary and kept his eyes glued to the screen, busy with his own matters. He told Youyou on the side:

"Don't mind her. She goes crazy when she practices dancing. She's not like this normally. It's just that she can't sleep well in the car. You'll get used to it in a couple of days."

Youyou's face lit up with joy.

"Sister Qin Wei is really hardworking! I want to learn from her!!"

Li Yao: "..."

A minute later, Qin Wei finally fully woke up, took out a wet wipe from her bag, wiped the drool from her mouth, and closed the book, preparing to put it back in her bag.

"What book is Sister Qin Wei reading?"

Qin Wei paused for a moment, then casually handed her the book. Since it was a published book, there was no need to hide it, let alone keep it a secret.

"It's a novel. If you want to read it, go ahead. Consider it a gift from me."

Youyou was a bit surprised.

"Shouldn't you be reading it seriously, studying the characters?"

It seems that Li Yao had already told her everything, and she had nothing to hide. Qin Wei waved her hand at her.

"If we were to fully follow the plot of this book for filming, I feel like it would be very challenging... Oh well, there's another competition coming up, and school is starting again. I don't have that much time to consider this."

Youyou didn't rush to respond, but instead glanced at the cover.

"'Star Ignition'... Alright, I'll keep the book for now. I'll look out for good scripts for Sister Qin Wei. The best years for an actress are only a few. We shouldn't waste them..."

Qin Wei didn't pay much attention to it either. She glanced at the schedule stored on her phone. It was a day filled with work arrangements.

"Where are we going now?"

Qin Wei asked Li Yao,

"Do you have any plans today, Youyou?"

Li Yao lifted his head and adjusted his glasses before replying,

"I'm going to shoot an advertisement for HugoV's new product launch. It just so happens that Mr. Xu personally signed Youyou as the brand ambassador for their sports shoe line, which can be considered as a gift for Youyou."

Youyou replied with a smiling expression,

"Being able to endorse the same brand as my senior sister is the best gift I've received this year. When Mr. Xu has time to meet me, I must thank him in person again."

While they were endorsing the same brand, there was still a certain difference between being a category ambassador and being the overall ambassador. Clearly, Youyou was aware of this, but it didn't bother her much.

Li Yao responded,

"As long as you're happy with it. There will be even better opportunities in the future.

Today will be a bit tiring. Based on my experience, we'll probably finish around eleven o'clock at night. Tomorrow morning, Vivian has two more appointments, mainly with magazine media. In the afternoon, I'll take Vivian to a meeting, and in the evening, I'll take both of you to the mall for an offline promotion of HugoV's new product..."
