Jiang Shining benefited greatly from preparing for this talent show. Talent shows required contestants, and when Jiang Shining personally visited other companies, she was surprised to find that no matter whether they were ranked higher or lower than Ninglu Media, other entertainment companies almost unhesitatingly agreed to have their artists join the variety show.
Because Tianxia Longteng had always given other companies in the industry the impression of being too aggressive. If Longteng could monopolize the market, it won’t give others a chance. If Longteng cooperated with other companies, it must be because there was no better option.
Jiang Shining naturally knew that Tianxia Longteng’s style was due to Xiu Lingfei. Could anyone in the world be more arrogant and conceited than an emperor? A person like him, accustomed to being high and mighty in their past lives, acted just as ruthlessly and uncooperatively in this life.
Unfortunately, times had changed. Tianxia Longteng’s aggressive aura caused anxiety among other companies as soon as it entered the entertainment industry. This was especially true since Longteng’s first move was to snatch away Ninglu’s artists. All companies feared that Tianxia Longteng would “kill” its way to the top of the entertainment industry, grabbing the lion’s share of resources and profits.
So, now that someone was planning to make a hit variety show, these companies, big and small, were naturally willing to cooperate. Even if Ninglu Media and Xuanyuan Video would benefit the most from the variety show’s popularity, at least based on the impression Ninglu left on people in the industry, they would definitely not be as ruthless as Tianxia Longteng.
Moreover, this variety show was about forming a group, not signing with Ninglu. If the artists from their own company become popular, they could bring in many resources, which was a sure profit.
For Jiang Shining, what she wanted was to make Ninglu Media famous, and everything else was secondary.
Therefore, she and other company bosses hit it off immediately – she never expected that because of Tianxia Longteng’s forced intervention in the entertainment industry, Ninglu Media could actually take advantage of this trend and establish friendly exchanges with other companies.
Jiang Shining watched past talent shows, from all sorts of groups to all sorts of singers, and she realized that the audience, living in the world of entertainment industry clichés, had never seen a single quality, complete variety show. Because popular female or male artists on the shows would inexplicably become entangled in love affairs and eventually withdraw from the competition. Or the quality was extremely low, clearly glossed over by some high-level author, so the variety shows were a disaster.
If the audience’s bottom line was so low, then as long as the quality was up to standard and the degree of CP hype of the male and female team members was controlled, this variety show would easily become a hit.
There was a two-week gap between the trainees’ training and the show’s broadcast. Jiang Shining delegated post-production to Jing Xuan, who also ran a video website and had his own variety show. Furthermore, everything from the accommodations to the trainees’ instructors was top-notch. Also, no effort was spared in terms of promotion; all the trainees’ companies helped with publicity. Combined with all the hype, the show finally became a viral sensation.
Netizens also wanted to see what kind of variety show Ninglu Media, which had lost its top spot, would come up with to make a comeback.
After the first episode was officially released on Xuanyuan Video, the high-quality program caused a huge sensation. Those poor netizens who had never seen any good programs immediately formed a group of “tap water” to spread the word everywhere – every boy and girl in it was so cute and likable!
Ever since the show launched, it has been trending on the internet for a long time. A certain trainee, a loving moment, just plain praise… all sorts of reasons had been circulating.
Until one day, a not-so-good-looking Weibo became popular.
[Xiangxiang Xue: What happened to Ninglu Media’s supposed bankruptcy image? Your company’s trainees are actually living in villas in the most expensive wealthy area of P City. I’m afraid your poor image is about to collapse [smile][smile]]
Below was a screenshot of the first episode when trainees from various companies came to report. It was just a villa, and the location was not marked in the subtitles. She didn’t know how this netizen found it – but she could guess there were other driving forces behind it, because this Weibo quickly reached the top few positions.
The next day, after the number of comments and reposts exceeded 30,000, Ninglu Media’s official Weibo account took action and directly reposted the post.
[Ninglu Media: This villa belongs to our CEO. She specifically gave it to the artists to live in to encourage them. P.S. See you tonight at 7:30 on Xuanyuan Video! [Heart]]
The situation suddenly reversed, and netizens and the onlookers were all stunned – what kind of great boss is this? Or is it a female CEO?
The onlookers started to dig up the boss of Ninglu Company, but they could only find his name and not even a photo.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Jiang Shining’s name became a hot topic.
Jing Xuan turned off the computer. He then looked at Jiang Shining and said with a smile, “Mother, you can make your debut directly.”
This was naturally a joke. Being a boss was already Jiang Shining’s limit. There was absolutely no way she could enter the entertainment industry on her own.
Jiang Shining shrugged, but said carefully, “I’ll be there during the finals.”
Since I have inexplicably become a hot topic among netizens, I have to save the hot spots until the end.
The variety show ran at full speed for over three months, and by the eve of the finals, the top-ranked trainees had already amassed a considerable number of fans. Consequently, the names of Ninglu Media and Xuanyuan Video frequently appeared in the public eye.
There were six artists participating in the show under Jiang Shining. After eliminating the two trainees with the worst quality and level based on the theme of the show, the remaining four chose to compete to debut as a group.
On the eve of the finals, Ninglu Media posted a Weibo to promote the finals, and at the end, they also mentioned: “It is said that our big boss will also be in attendance at the finals!”
The comments immediately went awry: [Make arrangements! Let’s go see President Jiang!]
[What more do you want, little brothers and little sisters? I’m sorry, but I want to see your boss more [Erha]]
There were more and more likes and comments of approval.
….
The next day, the finals were broadcast live.
Jiang Shining rejected her secretary’s suggestion to hire a professional makeup artist. Honestly, no one knew herself better than Jiang Shining. After all, she was a half-victorious palace warrior, so she naturally knew how to put on makeup and how to look more beautiful.
The audience of this program was mostly young women. Generally speaking, a beauty that was too aggressive would make people of the same sex subconsciously disgusted. On the other hand, a less dangerous and gentle appearance may be more accepted.
It’s just that… Jiang Shining had been pretending to be weak for several lifetimes, and she was already fed up with it.
At 8 o’clock in the evening, the live finals officially began, and the screams of fans in the audience proved the popularity of this show.
Inside the Xiu family mansion, Xiu Lingfei opened his laptop in his antique-style study and clicked on the Xuanyuan Video livestream. Exaggerated screams and cheers instantly filled the room, and Xiu Lingfei darkened his face and turned down the volume.
Boring video opening, boring male and female chorus, boring host introduction – why are those people present so excited?
The competition began, solo group, duo group, trio group, quadruple group… Okay, it was finally the turn of the four artists from Ninglu Media.
It ranked first based on a comprehensive evaluation of live audiences, entertainment judges, media judges and online voting.
Humph, what’s with the first place? It’s just average.
The host handed the microphone to the Ninglu artists who had just won first place in the four-person group. These four young children began to choke up with sobs.
“…Our journey has been incredibly difficult, but our company has been even more challenging. I’ve never seen a better company!” the captain choked up. “Besides our parents, the person we’re most grateful to is our CEO. Boss Jiang is the most beautiful, kind-hearted, and charming boss in the world!”
After he finished speaking, the four of them bowed deeply in one direction.
Xiu Lingfei’s eyelids twitched, and sure enough, the next second the live video and the large screen on the scene started to rotate together –
Jiang Shining, with her hair tied in a neat ponytail and wearing a suit, was gazing at the stage with satisfaction, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.
Jiang Shining was dressed in men’s clothing, seemingly without makeup, but in reality, she was wearing high-end nude makeup. She looked heroic, but her slightly feminine peach blossom eyes diluted some of the sharpness and made her look a little softer.
In addition, when she looked at the stage, the light from the lamp reflected in her eyes, which had its own lighting effect. Her eyes thus looked gentle, relieved, and bright, shining like stars.
The camera only stayed on for a few seconds before turning back to the stage, but it also triggered screams from the fans present.
Before the finals were over, Jiang Shining was on the hot search again and her few seconds of screenshots went viral.
[The boss of Ninglu Media is so good-looking! Even with such a close camera, her skin is still so good. She can debut right away.]
[Our baby is right, this is the Fairy Boss, the Fairy Boss!]
[I don’t want to be a fan of idols anymore, I only want to be a fan of the boss. What should I do? One person wrote in blood, begging Boss Jiang to debut. Otherwise, I will just marry her!]
One of the most popular Weibo posts also posted a screenshot of Jiang Shining looking at the stage with a faint smile.
You’re all missing the point. Jiang Shining’s gaze is essentially saying—I’m going to make my own artists famous. She’s asking us to call her daddy!
After the finals, Jiang Shining sat in the back seat of the special car and finally had the leisure to open her phone to check the public opinion. Unexpectedly, she saw some inexplicable Weibo posts.
Unexpectedly, she became a new father and netizen’s husband overnight.
Uh…isn’t the style and direction of this painting a bit wrong?

Ning Ning, who came from the serious drama to the Xiaobai style, is always with a black question mark face·
