Everyone from the program production team filed out of the conference room, and the huge space suddenly fell silent.
The project is confirmed and is a done deal.
Deng Jingwei secretly despised his own powerlessness and smiled dryly at Yu Nian: "We can learn if we don't know..."
As he spoke, he held up Yu Nian's wrist.
Yu Nian's wrist is slender, and the skin is very thin and white. You can see the looming light blue blood vessels. At this time, there is a large scab on the side of the wrist that has not fallen off, extending to the side of the palm. At first glance, it looks a bit...
A shocking impression.
Deng Jingwei's face was full of heartache: "But figure skating requires you to jump, turn, and do this and that on the ice. It is especially easy to fall and get sprained."
Yu Nian's fall in the longboard qualifying competition left a shadow on Deng Jingwei. Seeing that his injury was not fully healed, he was about to participate in such a difficult event, which made him feel uncomfortable and have a headache.
There are many events in the All-Star Games, including track and field events such as running and high jump, comprehensive events such as archery and rhythmic gymnastics, as well as water events such as freestyle and ice events such as figure skating.
Among them, track and field events have the highest participation rate, and archery and gymnastics have a large number of people because they are highly entertaining.
But for figure skating, the threshold is too high. In half a month of training, if you can stand firmly on the ice rink and skate a few laps on the skates, it will be good. But if you want to "do tricks", the difficulty is not that high.
The most important thing is that in countries such as Japan and Russia, figure skating has a high national reputation. But in China, it is indeed a niche sport, and the audience is inherently smaller than other sports.
For various reasons, the people who come to this project are basically fools like Yu Nian who have no choice.
Deng Jingwei: "I originally wanted to try to win something like the 50-meter dash for you. After all, you have been playing longboard for so long and your physical fitness is here. It is impossible for you to be any worse in running."
Who knew that Liu Chuan, the former manager, would not miss the old relationship at all and would cause trouble here.
Figure skating? Deng Jingwei let out a long sigh.
Yu Nian withdrew his wrist from his hand, glanced over, and said in a calm voice, "Do you know what figure skating is called?"
Looking at those eyes, Deng Jingwei felt that the tip of his heart was swept by those long and dense eyelashes. He stammered and asked: "What, what?"
Yu Nian's eyelashes drooped and he did not answer him again.
Deng Jingwei had been looking at his face for several months, and he still couldn't help but be fascinated. Seeing that there was not much worry on Yu Nian's face, Deng Jingwei also felt relieved.
Anyway, the threshold is high and everyone is good at it. Maybe if Yu Nian trains with him, he can stand out?
Thinking of this, Deng Jingwei felt comforted. Among other things, Yu Chang was so good at playing the game. At least his flexibility and coordination were there, so he wasn't so bad that he couldn't even see it.
Deng Jingwei figured it out and consoled him: "Although figure skating is not as popular as the popular events in track and field, as long as there is a camera and our face, we can attract fans!"
A faint smile appeared on Yu Nian's lips.
He thought of his world, where the best ballet prima ballerina in the company became a figure skater.
Figure skating is also called ice ballet.
This is a completely unfamiliar territory. Strange things always have an unspeakable romance.
…
When Deng Jingwei and Yu Nian walked out of the conference room, they saw Liu Chuan, who had left earlier, standing not far away, chatting and laughing with a young man.
Deng Jingwei obviously has all the qualities a manager should have - except being able to secure enough resources for artists.
At this time, he immediately recognized who the young man was, and had all the information about his identity in his hands.
"That's Xu Xing, the head of the Excellence Operations Department - Do you know Excellence?" Deng Jingwei turned around and asked.
He still didn’t know that Yu Nian’s customized longboard was ordered at a high price from the Joyo official website.
Yu Nian said "hmm".
Deng Jingwei pulled Yu Nian and slowed down.
He kept glancing towards Liu Chuan and Xu Xing and lowered his voice: "Juojio is one of the top big brothers among domestic sports brands. They also sponsored the All-Star Games this time. We must choose some artists who perform well.
Inserting advertisements and the like during cooperation.”
"Look at Liu Chuan's attentiveness." Deng Jingwei didn't even mention Brother Sheng at this moment and curled his lips, "He must be fighting for Ji Yuheng."
Not far away, Liu Chuan seemed to be having a good conversation with Xu Xing.
When a call came in, Liu Chuan took out his cell phone and showed an apologetic smile to Xu Xing. Xu Xing waved his hand to indicate that it was okay to answer the phone, so Liu Chuan took the cell phone and walked to the other end to answer the call.
Seeing Xu Xing waiting there alone, Deng Jingwei became excited.
He hesitated for a moment, wondering when Liu Chuan would finish the call. After thinking about it, he straightened his back, took a deep breath and said, "No, I have to submit a resume to you. What if someone takes a fancy to it?"
You have to take the initiative to seize opportunities.
As he spoke, Deng Jingwei put a smile on his face and pulled Yu Nian to Xu Xing.
Xu Xing glanced at the two people's faces, paused when he saw Yu Nian, and then asked with his eyes what happened.
Deng Jingwei took out Yu Nian's information and resume that he carried with him: "Mr. Xu, I heard that your company is looking for suitable endorsements——"
"I'm sorry, we already have the person we like." The other party didn't even intend to reach out and take it, with a polite and distant smile on his face.
For a brand like theirs, anyone can come and submit their resume.
As for him saying that he already has his favorite candidate, he is not completely prevaricating.
Aren't the entire operations department of Excellence busy trying to find that person?
Their favorite candidate is naturally the longboard master who won the championship in the Tianmenshan Longboard Downhill Open.
In the Tianmen Mountain Longboard Downhill Open, for the first time, a Chinese broke through the encirclement of Europeans and Americans and won the championship medal, which is of great significance and has a great impact.
However, the competition refused to disclose the player's identity information. So far, they only know a registration number and have not been able to find the person.
The Operation Excellence Department wants to make two preparations. If it really can't find anyone, it will fall back and look at other options.
This time Xu Xing came to the All-Star Games to find high-quality idols with good image and temperament. There is no guarantee that he would meet a suitable candidate.
The interaction with Liu Chuan just now was quite pleasant. His new guy named Ji Yuheng is pretty good, he has a good image and looks clean. I heard that he even got the third male lead in a film dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
With such qualifications and qualifications, the image is quite positive.
As for the person in front of him... Xu Xing glanced at the name "Yunian" on his resume.
I don't have much impression, it must be very blurry.
Looking at his appearance, he is really good. Even in the entertainment industry where the average appearance level is higher than that of ordinary people, his face is enough to be called the ceiling.
But no matter how good it looks, it won’t work if it doesn’t fit their brand image.
When Deng Jingwei saw Xu Xing's ruthless and contemptuous rejection, he almost wrote the words "You are worthy" on his face.
He still wanted to fight for it, but Liu Chuan had already returned from the phone call.
Liu Chuan glanced at the resume Deng Jingwei held in his hand. He did not ridicule the two of them in the presence of others, but his eyes that glanced at Yu Nian were obviously amused and cold.
It seems to be saying that if you don't know what to do, the result will be that you can't even submit your resume.
Yu Nian held Deng Jingwei's hand and raised a smile on his lips: "Since your brand already has a favorite candidate, we won't bother you."
His smile is decent, but it's more distant than distant.
Xu Xing caught his unconcerned gaze and sensed the man's hidden arrogance and arrogance in his decent and calm voice.
Xu Xing was a little unhappy. This beautiful little star was not as flattering as he expected. He seemed to have an edge in his soul.
Yu Nian nodded to the two of them and walked out of the company.
Deng Jingwei hurriedly followed.
Behind him, Xu Xing looked at his back outlined by the warm light of the setting sun, felt his eyes were dazzled, and whispered: "You really have quite a character."
Deng Jingwei followed Yu Nian and noticed that his artist was not in a good mood. He was worried that he was unhappy because he didn't get the chance.
After coming back to his senses, Deng Jingwei belatedly remembered that in addition to regular sports equipment, Zhuoyue also had a longboard business.
I should have explained this point just now. Yu-chan is just playing around, maybe he can win through this?
Why did you forget such an important point? Deng Jingwei was secretly depressed.
He carefully looked at Yu Nian's face: "Yun Nian... we are a big brand after all, and it is normal to be rejected. Don't be disappointed."
Yu Nian's steps slowed down a bit and he turned to look at Deng Jingwei.
He has always been courteous and gentle in his treatment of others, and his every move is filled with self-cultivation that is immersed in his bones.
Deng Jingwei couldn't figure out where Yu Nian's temperament, which could not be faked and could only be cultivated at a high place, came from, but this time, for the first time, he felt the sharpness in the gentleness.
"Disappointed?" His voice was indifferent and pleasant, "Do you think I should be disappointed?"
Deng Jingwei looked at him. His back was straight, dignified and elegant.
Deng Jingwei thought, how could such a person not be so brilliant?
He deserves to be looked up to and looked up to. He really doesn't care about this endorsement opportunity.
The next day, Yu Nian came to the training base for figure skating at the All-Star Games.
This is the ice rink where provincial team figure skaters train. The late summer sunlight shines in through the windows, making the snow-white ice surface shine brightly.
When Yu was in the new year, a dozen other artists were also present. Under the direction of the coach, they put on their skates and protective gear, holding on to the guardrail of the inner circle of the ice rink, and went on the ice with some difficulty.
Seeing Yu Nian coming, everyone glanced at him a few times and didn't bother to say hello. There were also a few trainees signed by Chengzi Entertainment among them. Naturally, they knew that Yu Nian had been almost hidden in the past few months, so they didn't bother to get close to him.
Already.
The coach in charge of them raised his forehead and said: "Don't hold on to the guardrail all the time. Try to feel the slipperiness. It'll be fine if you fall. You're wearing protective gear and you won't be hurt if you fall!"
This is Chen Hua, the figure skating coach of the provincial team. When he saw Yu Nian coming, he pointed to the skate cabinet on the side: "Pick a pair of shoes of the right size. I will teach you how to tie your shoelaces later."
Yu Nian thanked him and walked to the skate cabinet.
Like these artists, he was among the second batch to come for training.
After training here for half a month, I have to master the most basic skating and choreograph the movements to music, so time is tight.
It's just that in order to accommodate this group of artists who are new to the ice, the so-called choreographed movements are of course not difficult. If you can skate the music steadily, it will be considered a success. Then focus on adding some upper body movements to enhance the viewing experience.
As for technical content such as jumping, don't even think about it.
Chen Hua greeted loudly from the side: "Originally, we figure skaters have to prepare two programs, the short program and the free skate, but your program team said that it is too difficult to learn two songs in half a month."
"So when you come on stage, just do a three-minute ice performance based on the repertoire you each selected. We have a teacher for the action choreography. If you have any ideas, you can discuss it with the teacher."
There was also some helplessness in his voice, saying that it was a sports meeting and the competition system had been changed.
The artists present all breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Fortunately, it was not two songs. It has only been half a month. Who can learn it well?
Yu Nian picked out a pair of skates of a suitable size. When he saw that he had done so, Chen Hua came over and taught him how to tighten the shoelaces.
Chen Hua watched his slender and white fingers tightening the shoelaces, and sighed in his heart again.
Can a person with thin skin and tender meat really endure the hardship and training?
At this moment, a young voice sounded from the side: "Is it Coach Chen?"
The artists who were trying to slide while holding on to the railings all turned their gazes to the visitor, with genuine or pretended surprise in their eyes.
"Yu Heng, why are you here too?"
"Didn't you sign up for the archery event?"
Ji Yuheng greeted everyone in a friendly manner and said with a smile: "They are practicing over there too. I am very interested in figure skating, so I signed up for an extra project."
In this All-Star Games, key artists such as Ji Yuheng have the right to choose. If they have spare time, they can choose a few more projects they like.
Others present were not unhappy at all. After all, Ji Yuheng has been developing very well recently and has been accumulating fans very quickly. There is no telling when he will become famous.
With him here, they might be able to take some advantage of this figure skating event, which is destined to not have many shots, and they might be able to get more shots.
When Yu Nian raised his eyes to look at him, Ji Yuheng also glanced at him.
Ji Yuheng looks clean and handsome, and looks well-behaved and clever. He has the kind of appearance that is very popular nowadays.
His eyes fell on Yu Nian's beautiful face, and he didn't know whether he was talking to Yu Nian or to coach Chen Hua beside him: "My mother is from an art troupe, and I learned modern dance from her for a while."
His voice was a little shy.
After hearing this, Chen Hua frowned and nodded to him: "If you have a good foundation in dance, practice hard and strive for some results."
Ji Yuheng nodded obediently.
Chen Hua looked at the time and said to everyone: "Here you can practice skating with the teacher first. I also have children from the provincial team to train. I will leave first and I will see you later."
After Chen Hua left, the teacher came over and clapped his hands: "We are pressed for time. Today we will decide on the songs we want to choose, and then we will try to choreograph the movements while practicing skating."
As he said this, the teacher took out a whiteboard, and everyone saw a list of music titles written on it.
It doesn't make any difference to them which song they choose, they don't know how to do it anyway, it just depends on their personal preference.
"I'll take The Nutcracker. I've seen the stage play before and I quite liked it."
"Then I choose Turandot."
"Sleeping Beauty, I choose this."
Soon, the artists all chose songs that they liked.
The teacher recorded each person’s song selections one by one.
Yu Nian glanced at the whiteboard and glanced at "Soul of the Rose", which was his favorite ballet.
His eyes were soft and he said: ""Soul of the Rose"."
The teacher nodded and wrote Yu Nian's name behind "Soul of the Rose".
Ji Yuheng frowned and said with some embarrassment: "I also want to choose "Soul of the Rose"."
After saying that, he looked at Yu Nian apologetically.
The teacher didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "You can choose if you want. There are often collisions in figure skating." Anyway, whoever is ugly will be embarrassed.
Ji Yuheng originally thought that Yu Nian would change the song. After all, he had dancing skills. If he chose the same song for comparison, Yu Nian would definitely be at a disadvantage.
He really likes the song "Soul of the Rose" and has also seen the performance of the ballet "Soul of the Rose".
Because I don’t like to suppress my own preferences to accommodate others, I can only apologize and say that I also want to choose this song.
However, Yu Nian had no special reaction and had no intention of changing the song.
He raised his eyelashes and looked towards Ji Yuheng. His eyebrows were bright but his eyes were very light. The white ice rink was reflected in his pupils.
