PS: Today, it seems like it's also the day of Liu De Hua's father's funeral. What a coincidence.
“I believe in you. The greater the pressure, the more motivated you will be.”
“By the way, when does your show air? Where can I watch it? Do you need votes? I'll help you campaign.”
Liu De Hua's suggestion was directly rejected by Cao Gong: “Hey, hey, stop.”
“If you campaign for me, what will the others compete for? I'll do it myself. Don't mess around.”
“Watch it if you want, but don't mess around with campaigning for me. I'll rely on my own skills.”
“Besides, even if I can't debut, I can debut by writing and releasing my own album. Don't worry.”
Liu De Hua thought about it and agreed. His son was so popular.
If he really campaigned for his son, it would indeed be a bit like cheating.
Moreover, his son was indeed capable. Even if he didn't debut on this show.
With his son's ability to write lyrics and compose music, he could make his own way.
As a father, he just needed to believe in his son.
“Then you have to tell me. Where does it air and how do I watch it?”
“It airs online. The website is called 271, and it should require a membership.”
“If you don't understand, have your assistant help you with this.”
“The show is called 'Idol Producer'. The first episode is supposed to air tomorrow night, right?”
“It airs once a week? But I don't know if the first episode will include my performance.”
Cao Gong told his dad about this, letting him know about the show.
Liu De Hua remembered this and would tell his assistant later.
“Okay, I'll tell my assistant later.”
“But what about your college entrance exam? How did you do?”
When asked about his college entrance exam, Cao Gong honestly replied: “It's not a big deal. I won't be able to become a top scorer.”
“But I'm definitely going to college.”
“Moreover, I got first place in the art exams for the three schools, Central Academy of Drama, Beijing Film Academy, and Shanghai Theatre Academy. As long as my college entrance exam score is above 450, I can go to any of the three schools. So don't worry.”
“Today is only June 13th. The college entrance exam results will be released in about 10 days.”
Knowing this, Liu De Hua was relieved.
As a father, he didn't need to nag or lecture his son anymore.
Because his son was an adult, with a good character and personality, he didn't need to worry too much.
“Alright, since you have everything arranged, I won't worry about it anymore.”
“Your program, your aunt and I will watch it. Your sister probably likes to watch it too.”
“After you finish recording this program, come to Hong Kong for dinner sometime.”
After listening to his father, Cao Gong agreed.
After hanging up the phone, the show's writers were very surprised.
They couldn't believe how Cao Gong and Liu De Hua communicated. They didn't seem like father and son at all.
They were more like good buddies.
“By the way, can I call my classmate?”
“Why are you calling your classmate?” The writer didn't understand. Theoretically, they could only call family.
“It's like this. Won't the college entrance exam results be released in ten days?”
“I probably won't have time to go out then. The crew won't let me go out.”
“So I was thinking, while I still have the chance, I'll ask my close classmate to check my college entrance exam score and help me fill out my college application form.”
The crew, who originally wouldn't allow two phone calls, agreed this time.
Cao Gong had a valid reason and had considered everything carefully. They agreed, of course.
The crew was very human and didn't restrict this.
Cao Gong found his familiar number and called the other party.
“Cao Gong, you're going to die!?” The other side's fierce voice came through as soon as the call connected.
“Calm down. I'm recording a show now, and it's on speakerphone.”
“If you keep swearing, and if you swear more harshly, I wonder if you'll still have your ladylike image.”
The girl on the other side of the phone was even more angry: “Hmph! You went to participate in a talent show without saying anything?”
“To avoid my confession, you went this far? Are you serious?” A melancholic voice came from the other side of the phone.
“You're still young. It would make me feel guilty to be in a relationship with you, so I've been avoiding you to calm down.”
“How am I young? I've finished the college entrance exam. I'll be a college student in September.” The girl said angrily.
The girl asked sourly, “Did you find a dog outside?”
“No! No, I didn't!” As soon as he heard this, Cao Gong became anxious: “Where would I have someone outside? No, I'm not dating. I'm focusing on my career now, not romance.”
“Impossible! I saw the preview on 271. Di Li Reba and Cheng Xiao are your mentors.”
“Who is Di Li Reba? The new goddess. She's so beautiful, I drool when I see her.”
“Do you have your eye on her?” The girl was still very concerned.
“How dare I? How many fans does she have? Don't you know? Do I even deserve Reba PD?”
Cao Gong's sense of defeat made the viewers watching the show laugh.
Knowing that Reba had so many fans, even if he was handsome and talented, he wouldn't dare to have thoughts about Reba.
“Besides, idols dating means losing their jobs. Do I dare to date?”
This time, the girl was excited. She said, “Then I pray that you get eliminated.”
“What?” Cao Gong doubted his ears.
“You get eliminated! If you get selected and become an idol, you won't accept me to avoid losing your job. So only if you get eliminated, you didn't debut, can we date.”
“No, are you crazy?” To be honest, Cao Gong was really annoyed.
“Hmph, hmph, anyway, you can't escape!”
“You are an idol, I want to lock you down!”
“You are not an idol, I want to lock you down!”
“Anyway, you can't escape, you can't run away.” The girl confidently expressed her feelings to Cao Gong.
“Don't talk about this.” Cao Gong immediately changed the subject, not wanting to dwell on it.
“By the way, won't the college entrance exam results be released in 10 days? Remember to check my scores then.”
“If nothing unexpected happens, my score should be around 520 points.” Cao Gong thought for a moment.
“You can control your score so precisely?” The girl was surprised. Is it true?
“I don't know if I controlled it, but it should be around 520 points, enough to get into Shanghai Theatre Academy.”
“Then just help me fill out the application form. My admission ticket is with my cousin.”
The girl on the other side of the phone heard this and said lazily, “I can do it, but I won't do it for free.”
“Hey, I'm on summer break now and have no beautiful clothes to wear.”
“Send me a red envelope, and I'll help you fill out the application form.” The girl asked him for a red envelope with a mischievous smile.
“My bank card is with my cousin, just ask her for it. You are classmates anyway.”
“As long as my card has enough money for you to spend, feel free.” Cao Gong said generously.
