Chapter 5: The Rookie Game
It is a pity for many businessmen who invest in real idol stars that over the years, virtual idols have never withdrawn from the entertainment industry, even if they have long lost the influence of their peak era, even if the "metabolism" of virtual idol stars is faster than that of real stars, they also steadily occupy half of the entertainment industry.

A burst of upbeat music sounded in the car, drawing Fang Zhao's attention back. It was a long, long time ago, a classic piece by a king-level musician, with no lyrics, just a piece of the king's performance on stage.
Fang Zhao closed his eyes and felt the sound of this instrument.
This performance is also often used by bus drivers to refresh their minds, not only the drivers, but also the emotions of the passengers are stimulated together.
The music conveys the enthusiasm and passion that bursts like fire, and the people sitting in the seats shake their upturned legs to the beat. In the afternoon, the drowsy people in the carriage began to lift their spirits, and the frequency of shaking their legs also followed.
Listening to the song, passers-by in the same car resonate at this time.
How long has it been since I felt it?
Fang Zhao felt that the blood in his body seemed to start boiling again, and he was so excited that he wanted to roar loudly.
This world, he likes!
This train is a train around the city, although it only surrounds a small half of the city, it is still a suburban area around the city, not a central and prosperous area, but Fang Zhao already has a deep feeling, and the memories in his brain are almost integrated.
When he returned to the station where he was taking the car, Fang Zhao stepped out of the car, his mood was different, he wanted to integrate into this world as soon as possible, and then, enjoy it.
The fare is based on the ride, from the moment Fang Zhao gets on the car to sweep the ring, however, public transportation is relatively affordable, this trip cost Fang Zhao fifty yuan, compared to other means of transportation is slightly cheaper, but for the money that Fang Zhao has in hand now, it is a bit extravagant, but Fang Zhao thinks it is worth it.
Back on the black street, Fang Zhao went to the pharmacy to pick up the dog first. The dog, which was dirty and couldn't see the original coat color when all the hair was knotted, was even thinner after being removed, and the bones under the skin were very prominent.
Compared to the dog who looks uneasy after being shaved, the owner of the pharmacy also has a vegetable look on his face.
"You dog almost shaved my machine." The owner of the pharmacy complained to Fang Zhao, "However, since I said that I would only charge fifty, I will not increase the price again." ”
Is dog hair that hard? Fang Zhao was puzzled. Before, because the hair on the dog's body was too seriously knotted, and there were still a lot of dirt, I couldn't feel anything, but now the pharmacy owner complains, could it be that the dog hair has become hard after the end of the world?
But what the pharmacy owner said is not all true, and it may be exaggerated.
"Alright, let's take your dog with me, I still have to catch up on sleep." The owner of the pharmacy waved his hand to chase people, and the best time for business on the black street was at night, so he had to sleep more during the day.
Fang Zhao didn't say anything more, and left with the shaved dog in his arms.
After Fang Zhao left, when the pharmacy owner cleaned the shaving machine, he found that the machine was no longer working properly. He swears, he's just exaggerating!
"It's just a dog hair, that's really bad?" The owner of the pharmacy was also confused, and carefully checked it back and forth to make sure that it really didn't work.
"Luckily, it was just a bargain. I won't shave the dog again......" muttered the pharmacy owner.
When Fang Zhao went back, he passed by Yue Qing's shop and went in to buy some food to take back.
Returning to the rented cottage on the second floor again, in addition to the residents above the eighty floors of the high-rise building, the residents on the lower floor don't want to see the sun at all, not to mention that Fang Zhao is on the second floor, it is even darker, and the lights are not turned on when he enters the house, which is even darker than when he first woke up.
After briefly tidying up the house, Fang Zhao glanced at the display on the bracelet, which showed that seventeen incoming calls had been blocked.
Among the seventeen calls, three were from the company's agent in charge of interns, four were Wan Yue, and ten were Zeng Huang.
Wan Yue and Zeng Huang are the other two of the original owner, however, unlike Fang Sheng, although these two people don't spend as much time with the original owner as Fang Sheng on weekdays, the two are still sincere to the original owner, but the original owner was provoked by Fang Sheng, and since college, he has gradually stayed away from those two, and he has been in contact with very little after entering the Silver Wing internship.
Within two minutes of turning off the shield, Zeng Huang called.
Fang Zhao pressed the connection on the bracelet, and a light curtain popped up on the bracelet, on which was Zeng Huang with an anxious expression.
"Are you okay?" Zeng Huang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Fang Zhao, seeing that Fang Zhao was quite calm, he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he paused again, and carefully looked at Fang Zhao's face, "I'm still worried that you won't be able to think about it and do something stupid." ”
Stupid things have been done. Fang Zhao said.
Seeing that the worried emotions on Zeng Huang's face were also true, Fang Zhao said, "It's okay." ”
"That's okay, it's good to open it, Xiaohong ......" Zeng Huang just wanted to mention Xi Hong, and felt that this person had just fallen out of love, and it would be bad for his girlfriend to be in advance, the words turned around in his mouth, and he said angrily, "Fang Sheng, that kid is proud now!" Da Zhao, do you want to sue him? Those three songs are not known to others, are we still not clear? That's your work! With the power of Fang Sheng, it can't be done at all! ”
"Not yet." Fang Zhao said.
"If it's a matter of worrying about money, Wanyue and I still have some savings in our hands."
"I really don't need to, I don't have time to fight with him now." Fang Zhao said, "The rookie competition has begun, I have to hurry up." ”
Zeng Huang was stunned, he didn't expect that Fang Zhao would still have the idea of fighting at this time. It's been two months since the rookie competition this season, and there is only one month left, and it will be too late to enter in June, but Fang Zhao has no works that he can get his hands on now.
Although Zeng Huang was not optimistic in his heart, since Fang Zhao had raised his spirit again, he would not fight anymore, as long as Fang Zhao could get through this most difficult period.
"What about you...... Work hard, if you need anything, you must tell us, do you still have money in your hands? Asked Zeng Huang was worried that it would hurt Fang Zhao's self-esteem, after all, Fang Zhao didn't like others to talk about his strapped hands on weekdays.
It's just that Zeng Huang hasn't explained yet, so Fang Zhao said: "There is still some money, it's no problem to hold on for another month." ”
"Ah...... Oh, that's good, you must tell us if you have a problem. ”
"Well, I'm going into retreat today."
"Retreat" is a slang term used by many creators, meaning that they should bury their heads in their work and refuse to be disturbed by the outside world.
Zeng Huang understood that Fang Zhao meant that he was going to prepare a new song, so don't bother if he doesn't have anything particularly urgent. In the past, Fang Zhao was like this, but in the past, when Fang Zhao said this to them with obvious rejection, now he didn't, he just told them.
After experiencing Fang Sheng's betrayal, not only did he not resist them more, but his attitude was much better, which made Zeng Huang very happy, several of them grew up together, and they had hardships together, Zeng Huang was the oldest of them, since everyone had an accident at home, he felt that he should take care of several younger brothers and sisters like a brother, but unfortunately, as he grew up, the relationship between the five people gradually became estranged.
However, Zeng Huang was still very worried about something happening, but unfortunately Fang Zhao was not at school, he didn't tell them where they lived, they couldn't find anyone, they couldn't get through the phone, Zeng Huang and Wan Yue couldn't get through in a hurry. Now that Fang Zhao's status is confirmed, Zeng Huang is relieved.
Cutting off communication with Zeng Huang, Fang Zhao took out the phone number of his agent Du Ang and dialed it.
As soon as he connected, Du Ang yelled with a violent face, "Fang Zhao, what's the matter with you?!" Do you still want to turn positive?! The rookie competition gave up the entry?! Look at when this is?! It's June, it's June! Any idea what June means? This season's rookie competition has entered a fierce battle, the company's ten interns, six have entered, four have not entered, the other three have also taken out the work, the company has arranged for the person has been recorded, you can enter tomorrow, only you! Fang Zhao, what about yours?! ”
"It's not done yet." Fang Zhao said. At this time, no matter how much he says in front of the volcano-like Duang, everything is an excuse, Duang only wants the result, as for other things, it doesn't matter if your work is stolen or not, it is not within his responsibility.
Du Ang's eyes widened in disbelief, he took a deep breath, and the bulging eyes on the light curtain stared at Fang Zhao, as if he was about to erupt in the next moment.
In the end, Duang still endured, not because he didn't want to scold, but because he didn't want to waste time scolding.
Almost word for word, Duon emphasized: "Ten days! Ten days later, if you can get the work, you will be arranged to enter the arena immediately, and you will be given a seat in the rookie competition! Can't take it out, you, leave!! After speaking, he didn't wait for the party to open his mouth and disconnected the communication link.
Fang Zhao didn't have any dissatisfaction because of Du Ang's attitude, Du Ang didn't see Fang Zhao's submission of works this time, and the phone couldn't get through, so he was very angry, but he couldn't ignore it as if he didn't know, at this time he was finally able to contact someone, but there was still nothing to take out, and Du Ang naturally couldn't have a good attitude.
However, Du Ang spoke ruthlessly, but Fang Zhao knew from what he knew from his memory that Du Ang had already helped him. Ten days is the last time that Du Ang helped him fight, if he changes to another agent, let alone ten days, five days is difficult to give, and he may even be kicked out of the door now.
The newcomer arena mentioned by Du Ang refers to the "new striker list" that newcomers in the music industry value the most.
Not everyone can post songs on this list, if you want to be on the list, you must have officially signed a contract and are qualified to release songs, most of them are students who are about to graduate or have just graduated, and there are also some outstanding people who signed contracts in advance.
Many companies that have not yet signed a newcomer will also focus on this list to see if they can pick up the leaks and grab a potential newcomer, or dig into the wall of another company.
When it comes to the new striker list, I have to say one thing: the birth of virtual idols is good for creators!
Singer? Virtual idol companies can fix their own sounds, and a toad's croaking technicians can also fix the sound of nature, so, in comparison, companies that mainly promote virtual idols pay more attention to the technical personnel and creative talents behind the scenes, and the newcomer list will naturally throw more attention to the composer.
This is the first big opportunity for all new composers who have just stepped into the music industry!
This is a fight for newcomers, and it is also a contest between companies!
Fang Zhao opened the network on the bracelet and looked at it, as Du Ang said, among the composition interns who signed Silver Wing at the same time as him, six have already entered, and they have also entered the top 50 on the list, as long as the company continues to push, their popularity can still rise, and when this season is over, the ranking will definitely be better.
