The Entertainment Industry Waits For Our Divorce Chapter 49
Twenty-sixth Day of Separation (1)
Although she had already informed Jiang Mu that she wouldn’t accept the live streaming job, she still received it from Jiang Mu. The corners of her mouth twitched when she saw the live streaming announcement in her hand.
“This… this…”
Jiang Mu looked aggrieved and said, “This is the best resource we can receive at the moment.”
Liang Yan, "......” Fine.
On the schedule in Liang Yan’s hands, the words “Idol Games” were written in bold, capital letters.
“Idol Games” was a sports event held by a domestic video website with competitions such as swimming, gymnastics, athletics, etc. The contestants were all female and male active idols in the industry. Who were those idols? Those were the 17–18 year-old idols that sang and danced in a group every day to attract fans.
At her age, just the thought of being among a group of 17 and 18 year old idols made her head spin. There was a generation gap between her and those bouncy, youthful girls. Plus, she had lost her memory for the past three years and was out of touch with society, and it would be embarrassing if she didn’t understand what they were talking about.
Jiang Mu tried to comfort her, saying, “The difference between twenty-three and a group of 17 and 18-year-olds isn’t that big. It’s only five or six years, and you even lost your memory for the past three years, so your mental age is only around twenty. The gap between you and them is even smaller, right?”
Liang Yan: "......"
Liang Yan grabbed a fistful of her hair in frustration and asked Jiang Mu with renewed enthusiasm, “So, what are the sports events?”
Jiang Mu coughed lightly, covering his lips with his hand, “Uh, that… the program team has already decided your event. There’s no need to submit more entries.”
Liang Yan: "?"
"What do you mean it's already set?"
Jiang Mu replied, “The program team has specifically arranged the games for you, which are the women’s javelin and… women’s discus.”
“Cough, cough, cough!” Liang Yan choked on her saliva. Did she hear it right? Javelin? Discus?
Was this still an event for the dainty and graceful ladies in the entertainment industry?
Jiang Mu was a bit embarrassed as he held up the list of the “Idol Games.”
“Actually, there were other events such as running, archery, freestyle gymnastics, and so on. But the registration was already full.”
“Idol Games” was held every six months, and this was the third time. Freestyle gymnastics and archery were the most popular among female idols. Freestyle gymnastics was all about form and dance skills. All the previous champions ended on the hot search, gathering momentum and fans.
On the other hand, archery was very important for female idols to show off their beauty and compete with each other. As this game required you to stay in one place, the camera would focus on their faces and wouldn’t pull away for a few minutes during the competition. It had always been dubbed as the “face competition.”
As for the javelin and discus ......
Liang Yan froze on the sofa with an indifferent face. “Is it because no female idol participated in the javelin and discus competition, so the program team thought of me, right?”
Jiang Mu laughed twice. “Didn’t you practice weightlifting when you were a child? And then you were good at moving bricks? The staff of the organizing committee thinks that you’ll be able to pull this off.”
The edges of Liang Yan’s lips twitched. “Then why not let me participate in weightlifting? It’s a suitable match for me.”
Jiang Mu touched his nose and said, “There’s no weightlifting event in the Idol Games.”
Liang Yan: "......"
Jiang Mu put the announcement file in the folder, and observed her reactions before saying, “That… it’s actually fine if you don’t want to go. Just forget about this.”
Liang Yan lowered her eyes and stared at the announcement paper that Jiang Mu placed in the folder. She gritted her teeth and said, “I’m going!”
......
The “Idol Games” was held in the city’s indoor stadium for two days. The entire competition was broadcasted live. The website even invited professional commentators from the Olympics to spectate the game.
There were more than a hundred idols participating in the game. They were divided into four groups, ABCD. First, they compete within the groups, then in the finals, the winners in the group would compete with other winners.
Liang Yan, as one of the few contestants that didn’t have a group, was placed in Group C. Two male idol groups joined her along with the recently very popular girl group Star Girls.
The first event was the opening of the Idol Games. In the backstage dressing room, she met up with her teammates in Group C. The two male idol groups were very reserved because they were newcomers in the industry. They greeted her, saying hello while nodding their heads.
As for the Star Girls group, they were very consistent with their image as a cute and coquettish girl group, bowing enthusiastically when they saw Liang Yan.
“Hello, Senior Liang Yan.”
“Senior Liang Yan is very beautiful.”
“Senior Liang Yan, do you have new projects?”
****
Liang Yan stared at the group of girls with ages around 17 and a half-years old. Listening to them saying “senior” one by one, a trace of vicissitude appeared in her heart.
She silently lit a candle for herself in her heart.
Time didn’t forgive anyone.
It was time for the competitors to enter the stadium. Passionate music played as the ABCD groups entered in turn. The website also started the live broadcast.
Most of the participants in the “Idol Games'' were newcomers. Even the most popular Star Girls were only popular with young people and couldn’t be compared with Lu Lincheng, who even grandparents and aunties on the side of the road knew. But most of the participants had fanbases, gathering less into more, so the broadcast of the “Idol Games,” was also very impressive.
The host officially announced that the idol athletes had entered, and the fans on the bullet screens were waiting for their idols to appear.
Many fans watched the show in the stadium, arriving in groups and sitting amongst their support groups. They were waiting for the appearance of their idols, so they could cheer live.
