Lin Muci rushed to the television station.
Yang Weiyang and the other two were already waiting for her.
As the final debut group of "Tomorrow's Idol," they naturally received excellent treatment, with several endorsement deals arranged. Lin Muci, as the first-place champion, also secured a solo endorsement.
Yang Weiyang, Ou Ruola, and Han Jiuzhen harbored no jealousy.
Without Lin Muci, their debut itself would have been difficult.
It could be said that Lin Muci had single-handedly led them to debut.
Under such circumstances, they naturally wouldn't be envious of Lin Muci.
The assistants and manager arranged by the television station had also arrived.
The manager's surname was Ye, her given name was Ye Tongtong, and everyone called her Xiao Ye. She was previously the manager for another male celebrity and had just resigned and switched jobs to lead their group.
The group's name was "Era Girls."
The group's duration was one year.
Lin Muci found the name utterly uninspired.
The system chuckled.
"Host, stop complaining. Isn't it said that an unassuming name leads to a prosperous life?"
"Don't worry, this group is destined for massive international fame! Look at other popular groups, their names are quite... well."
The logic was sound.
However...
Never mind, Lin Muci thought, the group's tenure was only for a year, she could endure it.
The assistant, Xiao Gao, was found by Zhao Lan herself. She was Zhao Lan's personal assistant, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She was diligent, understood industry rules, and was not talkative. She treated them like elder sisters doting on younger sisters, with a very good attitude.
Since the group only had four members, arrangements were quite straightforward.
Two visuals, two main vocalists.
The visuals were naturally Lin Muci and Yang Weiyang.
The main vocalists were Ou Ruola and Lin Muci.
The main dancers were Han Jiuzhen and Lin Muci.
Everyone jokingly called the group an "ACE-powered rocket," but no one took offense because it was the truth.
Only Lin Muci had no weaknesses in any aspect.
Moreover, she was the youngest among the four girls.
Therefore, she was the group's maknae.
Han Jiuzhen was the oldest. She had been a trainee overseas for ten years, having gone abroad in junior high. She was twenty-three this year.
Ou Ruola was twenty-two. Yang Weiyang was twenty, an acting student.
Only Lin Muci, after the new year, was nineteen.
So everyone affectionately called Xiao Ci the group's "baby" who needed to be protected.
Ye Tongtong, a delicate girl with short hair, held a folder and spoke.
"This afternoon, we'll start by shooting commercials. We have another schedule in the evening, a press conference. I'll take you to get styled."
"According to the current plan, your most important tasks will be practicing new song stages, recording new songs in the studio, and filming variety shows. These three tasks need to be carried out simultaneously."
"The variety show is an online live broadcast variety show in collaboration with the world's largest online video platform, titled 'Youth Travel.' You'll need to complete missions during the show. Each episode will feature special guests, all prominent figures from various industries."
Lin Muci had been nodding along, but upon hearing this, she suddenly had a premonition.
"Guests? Prominent figures?"
"It wasn't just the four of us filming, right? I thought the group variety show would just be us messing around together..."
Ye Tongtong smiled.
"Of course not. Otherwise, the group variety show would lack a highlight. Don't worry, your current popularity is very high, so the guests we invite will definitely be big names."
Lin Muci felt a slight tremor.
It was precisely because they were inviting prominent guests.
That's why she felt uneasy!
...
Xiao Gao led them to the makeup room, while Lin Muci tried to salvage the situation by asking Xiao Gao for information.
She inquired about the variety show guests.
Xiao Gao shook her head.
"I don't know either. I'm a life assistant, responsible for your daily needs. By the way, you and Yang Weiyang are still students, so you don't need to stay in the dorms, but you must ensure you come to the training room for practice on weekends."
"I heard they spent a lot of money on the new song. The producer was not satisfied with the previously prepared songs. So, we are currently recruiting composers online. You guys will film the variety show first. Once the songs are ready, you'll go into the recording studio."
"Sister Lan mentioned that I'll be following you from now on. She said there are too many hidden dangers and open conflicts in the industry, and she's afraid you'll be bullied. Regarding the dress, she owes you a favor. She's accepted the 'Azure Tide' dress and from now on, if you encounter any trouble, just mention Sister Lan's name!"
Zhao Lan was also a straightforward person.
Because she had helped Zhao Lan and offended Huo Ziyao, Zhao Lan would definitely protect her.
That's why she sent Xiao Gao to help her.
Yang Weiyang was still marveling at the efficiency of the entertainment industry with Lin Muci.
As they entered the makeup room, the makeup artists quickly finished their makeup and pushed them out to shoot the commercials, then they took a car to the press conference.
The other three girls complained about the hardship.
But they were curious why Lin Muci remained unfazed.
Lin Muci said.
"Working in this industry, this workload is normal. There are even busier people."
Assistant Xiao Gao, sitting in the front of the van, laughed upon hearing Lin Muci's words.
"Indeed."
"Those popular young actresses have very demanding schedules. Of course, I heard that Ling Qianhe from a few years ago was the most hardworking."
Mentioning Qianhe piqued everyone's curiosity.
"Xiao Ci, didn't you just finish filming with Instructor Ling? Is he really that cold?"
"He seemed quite cold on the show."
Cold?
The kind of cold that pinned her against the wall in the underground parking lot late at night, kissed her until her lips were swollen and her cheeks flushed?
Lin Muci coughed, touched her chin, her voice a little indistinct.
"Cold...? Cough, perhaps."
The more vague she was, the more curious they became. But Lin Muci was tight-lipped, so they had to drop it.
It made sense, Xiao Ci was just a rookie, how could she have any private interactions with Ling Qianhe?
It was probably just their interactions during filming.
They soon arrived at the press conference venue. They announced their group formation, and flashes were everywhere. The studio was established, and the team began its operations.
Lin Muci was swamped with work!
She now had five endorsements, three for the Era Girls group.
She had two solo endorsements: one for the well-known ice cream brand "Ice Queen," a one-year contract. Another was for the global fast-fashion clothing brand "zA."
These two brands would feature her extensively in their stores with large-scale advertisements and solo posters.
Because these two brands had over a thousand stores worldwide, present in almost every corner of the globe.
Her global fame had once again surged!
"World fame has reached six percent, Host."
"Heh heh, you're on a rocket."
Lin Muci wasn't worried about that. She debuted first on "Tomorrow's Idol."
As long as there were global stages to showcase her singing, dancing, and acting skills later, her fame would continue to climb.
But... she still felt uneasy about the mysterious figures invited to the group variety show.
"Who will they invite as mysterious guests?"
The system coughed.
"Won't you know tomorrow?"
"The variety show starts filming tomorrow, and they need to finish the first three episodes before you and Yang Weiyang start school."
"I can only say that the guests will definitely give you... a surprise."
Lin Muci rolled her eyes with annoyance!
"Surprise? I hope it's not a scare."
