Chapter 53: The Immutable Law
Su Ning still remembers that more than ten years ago, idols were still unattainable goddess-like existences, and male fans formed the so-called "pro-guard team" to support and protect idols. The idols, whether pure or cold, have an absolute authority that can be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.
Unexpectedly, with the development of social media in recent years, idols are no longer a new thing, including these underground idols mentioned by Qiao Jingyu, both at home and abroad, it is said that the number of girl groups in Japan has exceeded 10,000, which is a veritable "idol Warring States era".
And the new generation of idol fans are no longer satisfied with guarding from afar, but want to be infinitely close. From handshakes, group photos, to hugs, physical contact, and even to illegitimate meals, voyeurism, stalking, harassment and even attacks on idols. The protection of them by companies is far less than the exploitation of them.
A year ago, there was a girl group member named Mayu who refused the request of a male fan during a commercial performance, and was slashed more than 20 times by a male fan on the neck, chest, and back on the spot.
When Qiao Jingyu said this, her eyes were very empty, and there was a kind of numbness that predicted her fate in advance but was powerless. "Although I already know that this will be the case, I may not be able to get rid of it, but when it really happens to me, I still can't help but want to die......"
Su Ning hugged her trembling shoulders, and couldn't say a word of comfort. Society always criticizes them for their love of vanity, hype, and unspoken rules, but they forget that most of them have also worked hard for their dreams, and there is no distinction between high and low in the pursuit of their dreams.
"I was lucky enough to make Charming Bird, which worked so well that I didn't have to go underground anymore. But the fans are still crazy...... Once, when I went to the bathroom, I noticed that someone came in the next room, and I stood there with some vigilance and didn't dare to move, and then I saw a mobile phone sticking in through the gap below, and the camera was shooting upwards......"
Su Ning felt a tremor in her heart after hearing this, and an extremely disgusting and frightened feeling came up from the soles of her feet, she always knew that there were many ugliness hidden in the corners of this world, but as long as she hadn't experienced it herself, she could still pretend that life was beautiful.
"With so much going on, didn't the company increase its protection for you?"
"Every time something happens, the leader will only say that he will put an end to this kind of accident in the future, and he will also build a new group, but in the end nothing will be dealt with. It will only keep us from revealing to the outside world. Now, even our personal information has been leaked, what if I am killed......" Tears fell down in large pieces, and Qiao Jingyu's thin butterfly bones flapped like wings, making Su Ning's heart suddenly surge with a desire to protect.
"Don't be afraid, I'll help you."
Qiao Jingyu smiled sadly, "They all said that I was too flamboyant when I usually performed, which caused men's bad intentions, and they also said that I was originally an underground idol, just to consume my young body, and I didn't have any technical content, and they couldn't stand out because I dragged them down......"
"They? Are you a member of your group? ”
"Hmm. They all have good family backgrounds, and they can also have good resources by relying on their family relationships, and they can participate in this show this time because of Xiaolin's father. ”
"But shouldn't the team be a whole? It's not good for you or for the team. ”
"Maybe they'd love to break up and go solo as soon as they do." Qiao Jingyu rubbed her eyes and pretended to be relaxed.
"What about you, what are your plans if it is disbanded?"
"Actually, I don't know, I went out to be a trainee at the age of 16, and I haven't finished my studies, except for being a star, I don't have other survival skills at all. Miss Su, I really envy you, you are beautiful and capable, people like you should always feel very happy, right? ”
Su Ning opened her mouth, but didn't say anything, how can there be two words easy in the adult world, and happiness is just a mirror, but he knows that it is untouchable, but he looks forward to the one in 10,000 possibility, maybe this is the meaning of life?
"Actually, I know who the two men who attacked me last night were." After being silent for a moment, Qiao Jingyu suddenly said.
"Huh?" Su Ning looked at her sparkling little face, her eyes wide open.
"They are members of the fan group, I have seen them when I was doing events before, and I have an impression because I am closer to Yukina Xiaolin and them."
"You're saying they've been in contact with the rest of the group?"
"Well, they often come to participate in our various activities, and they will also be in charge of fan support clubs and the like, and they will often contact Xue Nai and them, and sometimes organize fans to pick up fans at the airport, or go to the autograph session, so they can always get first-hand information about our itinerary."
"So they know where the hotel is located, and even which room you're staying in?"
"Hmm...... There is also time to go back to the room. ”
"So, only your insiders know this information, right?" A chilling chill rose from Su Ning's lower abdomen.
Qiao Jingyu glanced at her, her eyes were full of help and uneasiness, she didn't speak, as if she was afraid that her words would reveal the secret of heaven.
The entertainment industry is always realistic and cruel, no matter what country you are in, idols who are not popular are not happy. Female idols who are not popular may have a harder time than male idols. Now coupled with the lack of personal safety, the oppression and betrayal of her teammates, Qiao Jingyu's situation is indeed much more severe than she imagined.
But Qiao Jingyu is not from their TV station, no matter how she wants to help her, she can only help her, unless she has the courage to jump out, but what is the future after jumping out, no one dares to pack a ticket.
"I will discuss with the leader after I go back, and I will continue to follow up on this matter, and I must give a satisfactory answer from your company. There are a few more games to come, so you have to do your best! Either way, you're going to have to make yourself stronger. ”
When Qiao Jingyu heard her say this, she finally showed a comfortable smile, "Miss Su, you are so nice, I don't have any friends, are you willing to be friends with me?" ”
Su Ning pinched her face, grimaced, and said, "We've been friends for a long time, haven't we?" ”
Sitting on the plane back, Su Ning glanced down at the vast desert, and when the plane took off, the sky seemed to suddenly turn upside down, indescribably beautiful. She closed her eyes and thought back to the experience of this trip, and she felt a little incredible.
"Welcome to your life, this is a road of no return, the curtain has been opened, you have to play your role well......" The perfect singing voice floated into her ears, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a handsome face.
"Yang Ting and I switched seats." He shrugged his shoulders, looking like he couldn't make Su Ning angry.
Well, since the matter of life is irrevocable, let's start, the curtain has been opened, and she has to play her role......
