C173 Family and Friends
"Why are you back?" Qin Shu's sudden return surprised Qin Lang.
The surprise was that Qin Shu looked much better now and was no longer as depressed as before. The surprise was that a few days after the boy returned to the company, he came back and pretended to be strong in front of them.
Hearing this, Qin Shu was unhappy. After putting Yu down, he said, "Brother, are you tired of my little brother? Are you annoyed that I've come to your place too many times? Do you not want me anymore?"
Qin Lang knew that Qin Shu's reaction was not because he was really angry. Instead, it proved that he was fine.
Looking at his pretending to be wronged, it was a waste of his talent to be a singer. If he wanted to be an actor, the Qin family might have another actor.
"I'm just curious about what's going on with your company. The trainees in our company train every day. Sometimes, they are even in a hurry to have a meal. But look at you. Haven't you already been chosen by the company to make your debut? You should be busier with the preparation work. Why do you come home so often? Have you been fooled by the company? " Qin Lang looked at Qin Shu worriedly.
"I came back to do the preparation work." The results of the assessment a few days ago had already been announced to the public. Qin Shu and Faang Su had also signed a contract with the company. The talent show they were going to participate in was called The Sound. The national audition had already started while they were still training. Recently, each division should be able to determine the top three. Adding the online division, there were a total of seven divisions. Finally, twenty-one contestants were selected to participate in the semi-final. Every competition in the semi-final would be broadcasted on the internet. After this elimination competition, the remaining top ten contestants in the country would enter the finals. The finals would be broadcasted on the television channel that was cooperating with Anton Entertainment every Saturday.
The LP had been arranged to go to the online competition area. Because the online competition area had opened late and was still in the auditions, they still had a chance to participate. With the company's escort, they could secure a spot in the top three. The semi-finals after that would be broadcasted online, so the publicity began.
The semi-finals would begin in November, and it would probably take two or three months to get to the night of the championship.
"What preparation work?" Qin Lang did not know the arrangements of Qin Shu's company, so he naturally did not know what kind of preparations his brother was going to make.
"Friends and relatives. Even though the semi-finals are only on the Internet, and there are people in the audience arranged by the program, it can't be that no real friends and relatives are present at all. It would be too fake."
Qin Lang raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you planning to let me go? I advise you to think twice."
In fact, Qin Lang did want to go. After all, his own brother was going to participate in the competition, and his mother and sister were both abroad. This matter should also fall on his shoulders.
Qin Shu looked at him and shook his head, "I'm afraid that you will lose control if you go to the scene and change from a talent contest to a fan meeting for Qin Lang. The competition is always held on Saturdays. I can ask a few of my good friends to go, but since they are my friends and relatives, I can't just have friends and family. "
Qin Shu's gaze suddenly fell on Qiao Lin, who was still standing at the bedroom door, "Hehe, Qiao, why don't you go in my brother's place? Sister-in-law is also a relative, right?"
Qiao Lin frowned and said with a threatening tone, "What did you call me?"
"No, no, no, it's brother-in-law, uh..." Qin Shu realized that the way he addressed Qiao Lin was even more inappropriate. If he really called him that, others would think that Qiao Lin had something to do with his sister, "Brother, brother-in-law."
Qin Shu broke out in a cold sweat in his heart. There should be no problem with this form of address, right?
He looked at Qiao Lin again and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he was very satisfied.
"I can do it, but if you don't have enough people, I can get people for you, extras for eighty bucks a day, all kinds of emotions, one second in, two seconds in, three seconds in tears, anything." Qiao Lin had also taken on a similar job when he was a group actor in the cinema city in the past. He would collect money to be an audience at some of the recording venues of some of the shows and create a false sense of popularity. The money was easy to earn, and the pay would be even higher if he sat in the front row and interacted with the host or the artist. The only trouble was that he had to sign a confidentiality agreement.
Some programs didn't invite the audience because they weren't popular, but because they wanted to keep things in order, especially those that were live.
Just as Qin Shu was looking forward to it, Qiao Lin continued, "However, I've signed a contract with the company recently, so the work should take time to pick up. In a month or two after the movie that your brother and I starred in, we'll have to go back and make up for the filming. I don't know if we'll still have time then, but I'll definitely go if I have time. If there's a job, then there's nothing I can do."
"It's fine, it's fine, Qiao, just go once in a while, you don't have to go to every one." Qiao Lin was already satisfied that he was willing to go to Qin Shu. He walked up to Qiao Lin and said with a smile, "As for the extras, just one or two of them who can shout with passion will do. There's no need for those who can be moved by one second, two seconds, three seconds, or cry. The key is that they have to be women who are good-looking."
"Alright." Qiao Lin nodded. It seemed too much to be moved to tears.
Qin Shu had already heard from Faang Su that Faang Su used to go to a music school, where he had female classmates, senior sisters from one or two years ago, and junior sisters heard that he was going to participate in this talent show, so they had spontaneously formed a backup team and went to the venue to cheer him on.
With a group, Qin Shu naturally could not lose.
"Uncle, I want to go too." Yu ran over and hugged Qin Shu's thigh. His big, watery eyes kept blinking as he looked at Qin Shu with anticipation.
"Good boy." Qin Shu patted Yu's head, "If you want to hear your uncle sing, ask your father to turn on the computer for you to see. The scene is too noisy and messy for a child to go."
Yu pouted and was a little unhappy.
Qin Lang pulled his son over, squatted down, and pulled him into his arms. "Yu, be a good boy. We don't listen to your uncle sing."
"Brother, it's not the same as before. Don't compare me with the past me." The past was unbearable to look back on. Qin Shu did not want to think about the time when he sang out of tune.
Looking at these two brothers, Qiao Lin suddenly felt sorry for the Qin Xiaoyu of the past. Two uncles, one cooking food that left a shadow in his heart, one singing a song that made him unable to sleep all night.
It was indeed not easy for this child to grow up until now.
Qin Lang pinched Yu's round face, "Yu, play with your Uncle Qiao Lin for a while. Dad has something to say to him."
Qin Shu looked at Qin Lang, who stood up from the ground, and his heart tightened. Previously, he had been depressed because of Yee Fann's matter. His brother must be looking for him to lecture him.
