"Nayeon..."
Seeing the closed toilet door in front of him and hearing the faint sobbing coming from inside, Yu Dingyan knocked gently, then lowered his voice and shouted.
Lin Nalian had been in for a while. Everyone else knew what she was going in for. Of course Yu Dingyan also knew, but after sitting on the sofa in the living room for a few minutes, she was still a little worried and couldn't help but follow her to take a look.
After the third episode of "Sixteen" was aired on the 19th, the show suddenly attracted a lot of attention because of the addition of Ji Kyung-won and Bae Suzy as judges. Especially because of the existence of the former, "Sixteen" has become a popular program since its launch. The always sluggish draft brought considerable traffic and buzz.
At the same time, the filming of this show is actually quite good. Although the cost of filming the show is not very high due to the current poor situation of jyp company, and the construction and clothing facilities of some venues are not good or even a bit crude, but because of the audition model The process and process are still very novel and interesting, the audience voting is also very participatory, and the quality of the trainees is actually not bad.
Therefore, after injecting a large amount of traffic and new viewers, they actually retained a lot of the traffic and became new viewers of the program due to the above reasons.
In the past two days, every member has felt that the attention they have received is increasing, and the number of votes in the milk app has also increased significantly, making these female trainees actually feel like they are "famous" as they take to the streets. Occasionally they would be recognized, and this change made them feel really good.
It's a pity that some people's situation is completely opposite.
It’s Lin Nalian.
Originally, the third episode had just finished broadcasting, and she was very happy when she saw that the ratings had improved and the discussion on the Internet increased, and she felt very happy like everyone else.
But what she didn't expect was that it didn't take long for the wind direction to become more and more wrong. The attention of many viewers and passers-by was diverted to the shot of her losing control of her expression. Then, under the leadership of Aili, countless people began to attack her. A crazy attack.
In a short period of time, she was scolded bloody.
Although it was a bit sudden, it was the first time she had encountered this kind of thing. Even though she was not in a good mood, she thought it would just pass for a while at first. However, she did not expect that as time passed, it would become more and more serious.
But now it was the third day. After being insulted and attacked by so many people, she finally collapsed emotionally after trying to endure and cheer up for two days.
"Woo..."
After Yu Dingyan knocked on the door, the only response was another burst of sobbing from the bathroom.
The wailing sound that had just entered the toilet had now changed. The sound was suppressed and dull, and it sounded like there was infinite grievance.
"well……"
Thinking of Lin Nalian's liveliness and cheerfulness in the past, and then thinking about how she was anxious and stressed all day long from yesterday to today, Yu Dingyan at the door couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. She felt sorry for this dear friend Ou Ni's experience is completely seen.
Everyone in "Sixteen" uploads their own personal introduction video on YouTube. The content is to be interviewed, or to show off personal skills, do a few winks, etc. At first, because the program was relatively dull, no one watched it and the number of clicks was not high.
However, Lin Nayeon's personal introduction video is one of the more prominent. Although the number of clicks is still average, it is the highest among everyone. The few comments below the video are mostly complimentary, such as "so lively" rabbit Teeth are so cute, "Come on, hurry up and debut, I will always support you" and so on.
Although she has not debuted yet, she already has some fans who like her very much. They often leave messages to express their encouragement and expectations, which makes Lin Nalian feel better every time she sees her, and she is even more eager to debut.
The same goes for everyone else. Each of these trainees will often check the clicks and comments on their own videos in private, as well as some sporadic discussions about the program online, which will give them a sense of accomplishment.
However, the comment area of Lin Nalian's personal video, which used to be used to cheer herself up and communicate with a small number of fans, has now been occupied by Ally and some passers-by.
"Ugly b, can you make a debut even if you look like this?"
"Get eliminated quickly. It makes me sick to see you. You ruined this show by yourself."
"Dare you show shame to us xo? Are you embarrassed? Xiba's stinky%￥"
"Anyone who has no manners or respects his seniors is trash wherever he goes."
"Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell!"
The previous encouragement and support are no longer visible. Now when I look at Lin Nalian's comment area, I can see all kinds of vile insults and slanders. All kinds of extremely offensive and even direct swear words are posted everywhere. Screen, not even a single person could be found to say a good word for her.
Yu Dingyan's heart felt heavy after reading these bloody and cold words, and he felt very scary.
What's more, jyp's official account was also flooded with comments from many fans and passers-by, all of which were messages calling for Lin Nayeon to quit the show, otherwise they would boycott the show.
This is no longer limited to personal attacks, it is to fundamentally eliminate this girl's hope of debuting.
Just scolding is okay, it will be over if you tolerate it, but this is the thing that can really hit Lin Nalian's lifeblood.
Although it is estimated that many of them have known Lin Nalian for less than half a day, most of them have only seen an excerpt from a video.
But maybe they really hate her so much...
Although Yu Dingyan and the others have been trainees for so many years, they have seen a lot of things like this. I found it quite interesting while watching the excitement and eating melon, and I could happily comment on it with my friends.
But when it really happened to me, I realized that the severity and cruelty of this kind of cyber attack was really unbearable for ordinary people.
Although trainees can be considered a part of the entertainment industry, they can only be considered in a marginal position and cannot touch many things. But this time they really came into contact with some of the more real aspects of the artist circle.
She was very worried thinking about the situation of this relative. Although there was no response from inside, Yu Dingyan did not leave. He kept guarding the door. After a while, the crying gradually weakened.
"..."
A few sniffling sounds were heard, but they were quickly covered up by the pretentious sound of flushing. A few seconds later, the door lock was opened with a bang, and Lin Nalian's face appeared in front of her eyes.
The hair at the back is neatly combed, but the front is obviously a little messy. The eye sockets are sunken and swollen. The face is full of tear stains. At the same time, the skin on the cheek seems to be a little rough from rubbing tears with hands many times. , the tip of the nose is red and swollen, with some traces of mucus bubbles.
One look at it and you can tell he's crying a lot.
After walking out, Lin Nalian glanced at Yu Dingyan, then quickly walked to the dressing table next to her, turned on the faucet and started washing her face.
Forget it about Yu Dingyan, she doesn't want others to see her like this.
The sound of gurgling water sounded and then disappeared. The cold water spray washed away the dirt on the face, but the face became even more haggard.
Moreover, the discomfort and grievances cannot be easily washed away.
"Is it okay..."
After finding a seat and sitting down, Yu Dingyan looked at Lin Nalian and said something nonsense to comfort her: "Don't read the comments on the Internet for now. It will be a good thing if the popularity subsides in two days..."
"That's how fans of boy groups are. Fans of EXO are still the craziest among them. This time Chi Jingyuan..."
"It's just that he is unfair. He is partial because he has a good relationship with Zhou Ziyu. Who among us can't see that?"
When it came to Chi Jingyuan, Lin Nalian's emotions that had just calmed down became a little more excited. After sniffing, she held her neck and spoke stubbornly, as if she wanted to vent her grievances: "And I didn't say anything. Ah, I'm just a little surprised. Why do those people scold me like this and speak so harshly...I will scold them like this too, Axi, Xiba..."
When I mentioned this, I thought of the crazy attacks of obscenities that I had been subjected to in the past two days, and I felt sad again, and I couldn't help but wipe my tears when I looked at it.
"Okay, okay, it's unfair, it's unfair..." Seeing this, Yu Dingyan quickly patted her and comforted her a few times, speaking softly as if comforting a child.
But in fact, she thought in her heart, 'Even if it's unfair, Chi Jingyuan is qualified to do this'.
And not managing the expression well is indeed a mistake.
But of course Yu Dingyan would not say that. In terms of stance, she is definitely on the same side as Lin Nalian.
"There are Chi... Diguang fans scolding me everywhere. Don't they have their own affairs? They are really sick."
"My mother saw it and called me to ask what happened..."
After her mood stabilized, Lin Nalian couldn't help but start to vent. She obviously had great resentment towards Chi Jingyuan and Aili.
"And many people have been saying that I am ugly..." She stopped mid-sentence, feeling a little uncomfortable and feeling very uncomfortable at the same time.
Many people in the entertainment industry have appearance anxiety and attach great importance to their appearance. From actors to idols to trainees, everyone is like this, but Lin Nayeon actually attaches great importance to this thing.
"How is it possible? You are so popular among the male trainees. Several male trainees have a crush on you, and the company still values you so much..." Yu Dingyan quickly comforted her.
This is true. Lin Nalian is very popular among trainees. Her strong strength and lively personality make her very popular. She is one of the most popular female trainees among boys.
There are others who receive the same treatment, such as Sasha Minatozaki and Minami Nai. Both of them are famous for their beauty among the male trainees of JYP. They are very popular among the boys. They have a crush on people who want to date them. few.
After scolding a few words and venting some words, she felt better, but Lin Nalian remembered the real big event, and her expression suddenly became uneasy. She grabbed Yu Dingyan's hand and asked anxiously: "It's such a big deal this time. With so many people leaving messages to boycott me, the company will not really let me quit the show, just fire me..."
When she was scolded, she would cry at the airport, vent a few words, and then it would be over if she stopped looking at it. This was what she was most worried about now.
"What did the room director say to you at noon?"
Yu Dingyan also became serious, this kind of thing is really possible.
Although it is just a black face expression, being impolite is indeed not a small thing. The peninsula is like this. It attaches great importance to these things. It is very particular about etiquette and respect for seniors, and whether to use honorifics when socializing.
As an artist in front of the camera, even if you hate the other person in your heart, you must not show it.
The two female artists who scolded each other in public last year have become a lot cooler. The one who didn't use honorifics was still more severely boycotted.
Moreover, it is jyp after all.
"She gave me a lecture."
Lin Nalian pursed her lips, seeming a little aggrieved: "The training was so miserable... I didn't say anything else."
In her daily life and in front of the camera, she is more lively, more confident, and has a strong personality, but she is actually quite timid, giving her a sense of contrast and contradiction.
Although he was also worried about this situation, Yu Dingyan could only say good things at this time:
"I don't think it should be..."
Low voices of analysis and comfort echoed around, trying to dispel the somewhat desolate atmosphere just now.
No one else in the dormitory showed up, leaving this relatively private place to Lin Nalian and the two.
Maybe it's because of unfamiliarity.
It may also be due to other reasons.
…………
"The popularity of this episode of "Sixteen" has become so high. After the previous two episodes, there were no people discussing it on the Internet. Now it has suddenly become much more popular. There are also many viewers who specifically watched the videos of the first two episodes. .”
"Yes, Not Bad."
"There are also a lot of comments under my introduction video. Some of them seem to be fans of EXO and you. Many people are praising me. Did you see it? The voting seems to have become a little bit slower."
"okay."
"...What are you doing?"
Zhou Ziyu finally couldn't stand Chi Jingyuan's perfunctory reply and couldn't help but ask.
Chi Jingyuan, who had just changed into a new set of clothes and exchanged the key points of the shooting with the photographer for a while, was sitting on a stool next to the studio, using his mobile phone to send messages to Zhou Ziyu.
In the past two days, because of the traffic she brought to "Sixteen" and the forced selection of Zhou Ziyu in the show, it brought a lot of attention to her. In the first two issues, there was not even a close-up of the front, which made people still feel uncomfortable. The transparent person who thought she was not there suddenly gained a lot of presence.
This feeling of being paid attention to and supported is of course great. Zhou Ziyu was obviously in a good mood, with a cheerful tone and a little bit of amusement.
He was already familiar with the other person's character and was not surprised. He raised his head and glanced at the busy staff around him and the scenery being replaced, and then typed a few words in reply, "Getting ready to take a photo for the cover of the magazine. "
Because of Gucci's expressed intention to cooperate, SM has also adjusted some of Chi Jingyuan's plans, invested a lot of resources, and has taken on many fashion-related travel cases for him. Recently, it has only been a photo shoot. There are quite a few.
"Oh... do you want to shoot now?" Zhou Ziyu was no longer annoyed by his perfunctory tone, and her tone seemed obedient.
"After a while, we are getting ready now."
"profound."
"We haven't started filming our new mission yet, and we've been practicing for the past two days. Everyone else seems to be a lot more energetic... But Sister Nayeon's condition is not very good. Although she is not from the same dormitory, I heard that she She has been crying in the dormitory for the past two days. She has been scolded so badly on the Internet recently, and many people have left messages saying they want to boycott the program. The room director also taught her a lesson because of this incident. Many people are worried that the company may do this. Something caused her to quit "Sixteen"..."
Seeing this text message, Chi Jingyuan blinked and couldn't help but pause.
Of course he also knew about Lin Nalian's attack. When he was free, he would often check the real-time hot searches and updates on the Internet. In fact, he knew about it from the beginning, not to mention that it was Ai Li and Yuan Fan who took the lead.
Alas, this kind of thing has happened countless times since EXO became popular, and he couldn't count how many times it was Aili who was the one who took the lead.
Thinking of this, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh.
However, he couldn't control the fans' affairs, and he couldn't argue with Ai Li's position. Moreover, he also went to watch the scene of Lin Nalian's black face. It was indeed a very controversial shot and expression. It would really make people feel uncomfortable after watching it. It makes fans uncomfortable and makes passers-by feel that she is rude and disrespectful to the judges and seniors.
So to put it harshly, she still has herself to blame for being like this.
And it's not because she is a trainee or has no fans that she will be attacked in this way. After this kind of controversial scene is broadcast, even a popular artist who debuted will be criticized, and even worse.
But to be honest, Chi Jingyuan really didn't feel anything was wrong when he was recording the show. After all, he started to say so many complimentary words to the other party, and then suddenly reversed course and couldn't accept the other party's reaction for a while. He thought it was normal. Of course, it's also possible that his focus wasn't on Lin Nalian at that time.
But the editor specifically broadcast this scene and gave it a close-up... If the PD wasn't stupid or inexperienced, Chi Jingyuan, as an insider, probably knew what the program crew meant by doing this.
"Many people also praised me and said that my stage performance in the third period was quite impressive. Hehe, my strength is not as bad as you said..."
Zhou Ziyu sent another message, but Chi Jingyuan glanced at it and didn't pay attention. His attention had been diverted from what the other person said just now.
Because Lin Nalian's current experience makes him feel a little awkward now.
It's not because she pities or feels sorry for her, because in Chi Jingyuan's opinion, being scolded is nothing. If you want to be in the entertainment industry, no one will be scolded. If you are an individual, you must have been attacked. He himself doesn't know it. How many times have he been scolded? It's just because his fans defended him and scolded him back at the same time.
It’s okay for fans to criticize and attack this kind of thing, it will pass as soon as the heat is over.
The reason why it was awkward was because when the judges were selecting people, he did favor Zhou Ziyu. The unfairness was so complete that he didn't even mean to hide it.
Chi Jingyuan thinks that favoritism is normal and does not think it is wrong. Lin Nalian's failure to control her expression has nothing to do with him.
It's normal to be scolded for this matter, and it can be regarded as Lin Nalian paying for her expression management.
But if because of this, she was fired from JYP and the show team, and directly lost hope of debuting, that would be a bit...
Not everyone is a royal like him and doesn't have to care about some operations of the company. The fate of most trainees is in the hands of the company. Whether they can debut or not is decided by the company.
The incident this time was actually quite big, and it may indeed have some bad effects, which led JYP to make decisions taking these effects into consideration.
Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but hesitate when he remembered that Lin Nalian greeted him with a smile and showed a pair of big rabbit teeth when she was in the backstage lounge.
"I'm going to use the bathroom."
After pondering for about ten seconds, he picked up his mobile phone and stood up from the chair. After explaining to the assistant Cui Zhichang next to him, he walked towards the bathroom. After walking a few steps, he picked up his mobile phone and called Park Jinying.
"Don't stop the young, Brother Zhenying."
"Hahaha Jingyuan, what a coincidence, I'm planning to call you in the next two days."
"Is that so? That's quite a coincidence..."
Chi Jingyuan responded with a smile and walked out of the studio quickly.
………
"It won't have any impact, right?"
"Jingyuan, you said so, of course it won't have any impact."
"Haha, then I know."
"Okay, then come out and treat you to dinner when you have time. It's all thanks to you this time."
"OK."
Apparently it was because of the popularity of "Sixteen" that Park Jin Young's tone made it clear that he was in a good mood.
This new girl group is related to the fate of JYP. Hu's poor situation has always caused him and the company a lot of headaches. Now that they are about to get on the right track, they can be regarded as deeply relieved.
Naturally, he was very grateful and happy for Chi Jingyuan, who had brought a lot of attention. In addition, the two parties had a very good personal relationship, so they simply chatted in a good atmosphere for a while.
As for Lin Nalian's matter, Chi Jingyuan simply mentioned it and hinted at it. Although it was just a brief mention, Park Zhenying obviously heard what he meant and the purpose of the call, and agreed to solve it easily.
Maybe this scene of Lin Nayeon was specially cut by jyp to attract attention, but I didn’t expect it to cause such a big negative response...
Although his tone was smiling, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but curse in his heart.
After hanging up the phone, he exhaled and returned to the studio. He nodded to his assistant and sat back on the stool.
The work hasn't started yet, and the crew setting up the scenery is putting the finishing touches on it.
The awkward feeling he had before had disappeared. Chi Jingyuan, who was in a good mood, stretched out and sat there waiting for the shooting that was about to take place.
Suddenly he seemed to remember something. He picked up his phone and opened the text message interface. When he saw the message from Zhou Ziyu, which he had ignored just now, he re-read the text message from the other party, curled his lips and replied:
"Indeed...because your strength is even worse than what I said."
