The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 249

That night.

A midnight flight arrived at Yong City Airport.

Lan Tianyou walked out with a blank look on his face and got into the car to pick him up.

Although he had won a Best Actor award, he was not actually very senior in the entertainment industry, having debuted just two years ago.

But he did have really good luck. Right after his debut, he signed with South-North Entertainment, the leader in the entertainment industry. After that, he filmed a small-budget movie.

From the director to the screenwriter, no one had any reputation, and no one in the industry was optimistic about it.

But unexpectedly, that small production won an award!

So Lan Tianyou quite logically became a Best Actor award winner, reaching the peak upon debut.

The company also treated him exceptionally well, with follow-up resources and development keeping pace.

Although he was young, his development in the entertainment industry was quite fierce.

At the moment, he had just finished filming a fantasy drama and had just attended the wrap-up banquet.

The wine he drank really made him feel good!

He didn't know how much he drank, but he drank until he passed out.

When Lan Tianyou opened his eyes again, he was already in the departure lounge.

Beside him was his agent, who handed him his boarding pass and backpack, saying, "I can't accompany you anymore, go yourself."

Lan Tianyou: "???"

And so he boarded the plane bound for Yong City!

After flying for more than two hours, he arrived in Yong City.

He picked up his bag himself. With not many people around this late at night, Lan Tianyou walked out of the airport and saw the pickup information sent to his mobile phone.

After comparing the license plate number, yep, this was the one.

Get in the car!

Lan Tianyou put down his bag and got into this business car.

He looked at the driver uncle in front of him, wanting to take the initiative to say hello, "Hello sir, may I ask where we are going?"

Lan Tianyou had no idea what was going on. His agent didn't know either.

He only knew that this was a secret itinerary arranged by the company!

Sun Hui, whose muscles were bulging out, wore short sleeves. His arms looked exceptionally terrifying.

He glanced at the person in the back seat through the rearview mirror without saying anything.

He just stepped on the accelerator!

Speeding off!

Lan Tianyou was almost shaken and fell over.

After barely steadying himself, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

This is so scary!

Where exactly are we going?

Why does this driver look so fierce?

Could I have been kidnapped?

Trembling in fear!

Not daring to speak!

-----------------

The next morning.

Everyone got up at 6 am, gathered together, and ate breakfast.

It was another day without flying, which was disappointing.

As Nan Xiangwan walked to the canteen, she saw Director Feng Kaiji there.

She was a little surprised that the director had gotten up this early!

Then she looked at the table, where there were 8 male actors.

Huh? Why were there 8?

Nan Xiangwan took a closer look and discovered an unfamiliar face.

At this time, Lan Tianyou was sitting there with a blank look, having apparently come overnight without enough time to sleep.

Those dark circles were very obvious!

Apart from that, he was completely bewildered, with a funny expression.

Feng Kaiji was babbling on and on about something, going on about training or military prestige or scripts.

Lan Tianyou didn't understand a word!

Nan Xiangwan walked over and sat down.

Across from her, Gu Beihuai pushed over a bowl of breakfast, saying, "I dished it up for you."

Nan Xiangwan lowered her head and started eating while listening to Feng Kaiji's blathering.

After talking for half an hour, he finally finished.

The other actors had also mostly finished eating, with only Nan Xiangwan still gnawing on a large bone.

She wasn't full yet!

Lan Tianyou looked blankly around at everyone, and then looked towards Gu Beihuai.

He was the only one who could give him a sense of security.

The boss of the company and a big senior!

Lan Tianyou: "Boss Gu."

Gu Beihuai looked up at him, "What is it?"

Lan Tianyou: "Why, why am I here?"

He still didn't understand!

Plus he had a variety show to film the day after tomorrow. Why was he suddenly brought to this military base? What was going on?

Feng Kaiji remarked, "This second male lead doesn't seem too bright."

Everyone else was laughing.

Indeed, apart from the actors themselves, everything about this training was confidential.

There was no external information that could be found out at all.

They had been training together for several days already and had become quite familiar with each other and gradually come to thoroughly understand the circumstances of the crew.

Direct understanding and reading the script gave completely different feelings.

Feng Kaiji remote controlled everything every day. The production was truly massive!

Lan Tianyou had just been brought over and no one had explained anything to him.

He was confused the whole time!

Eventually there was a kind soul who slowly explained things to Lan Tianyou, also making clear the importance of this military base.

Lan Tianyou was dumbfounded on the spot!

Damn!

How lucky could he be to get into such an awesome drama crew.

A drama crew that came to train at the air force base was unprecedented!

So Lan Tianyou started feeling pumped up and particularly excited.

After breakfast, they rested for a bit then gathered for training.

Lan Tianyou excitedly rushed up, and 5 minutes later was dragged back down, tired like a dead dog.

The other actors had already adapted by now and continued training.

When Lan Tianyou looked at everyone, his expression...

Priceless!

......

Nan Xiangwan didn't train for too long today. At 9 am, Cheng Xue and Xiao Dong came.

To pick her up!

After going through layers of checks, the two of them were brought inside the military base.

Cheng Xue rushed up to Nan Xiangwan and grabbed her hand, checking her all over, from head to toe.

Cheng Xue: "You're okay right? Not injured right? Haven't tanned too dark right? Is it tiring? Are you exhausted?"

Nan Xiangwan was stroked all over by her!

After the inspection was over, nothing was wrong. The three got in the car and left the base.

Nan Xiangwan was reluctant to part from everyone. She would be gone for a full three days.

On her way to start her path in variety shows.

In the car headed towards the airport.

Xiao Dong handed over a bag of spicy duck claws: "Boss Nan, open up with something meaty."

Nan Xiangwan: "Xiao Dong, I love you! Gimme two more bags!"

Xiao Dong: "No can do. One bag per half month."

Nan Xiangwan: "Instantly don't love you anymore."

Cheng Xue reminded from the side: "Boss Nan, you've got the song written already right? No equipment in the base, is the arrangement done?"

Nan Xiangwan: "It's all done. The tablet software works pretty well."

Cheng Xue: "Then that's good!"

The main concern was not having a single song ready.

The Singer wasn't an ordinary competitive stage. All the contestants going were industry veterans, any single one pulled out already had one or two wildly popular songs.

It was a competition amongst the strong!

What was most important was that the competition rules of The Singer were very strict. For the first recording of the first episode for first-time participants, they had to sing their own song.

Heaven's Fate did have their own songs, but those didn't belong to Nan Xiangwan personally, they belonged to the group.

Moreover, when it came down to it, Heaven's Fate was still managed by South-North Entertainment.

South-North Entertainment did not participate in the personal development of group members.

It would also work to bring Wilderness and RainCat up there to sing, but it wasn't ideal.

It was easy to make people doubt!

It would still be best to prepare a truly new song that belonged to herself.

That was why Cheng Xue had been so anxious about hurrying her along.

Luckily Nan Xiangwan had exceptional business capability and really did write one out.

Cheng Xue felt relieved and continued speaking, "Tomorrow is the recording for The Singer, the day after is the recording for Horror Variety Show. They're both recorded on weekends, with one episode per week in the future. They're both live broadcasts, and there will also be edited videos made afterwards that will be put up on major video sites."

Nan Xiangwan continued gnawing on duck claws. One small pack wasn't enough to fill the gaps in her teeth.

At this time Xiao Dong took out two more large packs of duck claws from her bag and started chewing on them herself.

Nan Xiangwan: "...????"

Xiao Dong, you......
