chapter 51
Meng Youcheng sat back down on the stool...
001 didn't look at him; a strange sense of displeasure emanated from him.
007 was much more amiable in comparison. His tone was tinged with amusement as he said, "Host, have you rested enough? Are you ready for the second stage of the quick transmigration?"
The man nodded. "Okay."
[Matching Phase Two...]
Match successful...
The robot wanted to speak, but 007 suddenly pressed a button, silencing it...
001, standing next to him, stared at him in disbelief. "What are you doing?"
007 didn't reply to him, but continued to gaze at Meng Youcheng...
"To add to that, Mr. Meng, your last quick transmigration went very smoothly, and your 72 yuan prize money has already been deposited into your account. Are you sure you want to continue with the second round of quick transmigration?"
The man answered almost without hesitation, "Yes."
007 smiled and said, "Alright, let me introduce you to your second novel in the quick transmigration genre, 'The Future Movie King and His Caged Bird.' Congratulations! This is the only romance novel in our library..."
"Your task is very simple: just help the male lead become a movie star."
"As for the specifics, someone will explain them to you after you complete the journey."
As he spoke, he was completely oblivious to the questioning look that 001 was giving him...
Meng Youcheng was somewhat surprised. "Romance novels?"
007: "Yes, the only one. I'm so happy for you. So, are you ready now? Can we begin the quick transmigration?"
The man nodded. "Okay."
A flash of white light, and Meng Youcheng vanished from the stool once more...
……
001 looked at 007 with a displeased expression. "Let me tell you, he's definitely faking it. Do you know what I found when I was going through his file yesterday?"
"Damn it, he used to study acting! It's a perfect match for his major, so it is!"
007 didn't look at him, but said, "I know."
"You know that?!"
The shorter man stared at him incredulously. "Then you... are... one of you two..."
"I found 30 yuan in cash that was anonymously transferred to his account yesterday."
001: "Huh? What do you mean?"
007 smiled but did not reply.
The short man suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Right, don't we not have any romance novels in our library? And that one just now clearly showed it as BL (Boys' Love), how come...?"
"Since he's going to act..."
The tall man turned and glanced at him. "Let's just play along and see who's the better player!"
……
"Is everyone ready?! Meng Youcheng...! Meng Youcheng...!"
The man suddenly felt dizzy. He heard someone calling his name and groggily opened his eyes...
He felt a little dizzy and almost lost his balance, taking a step back and nearly falling to the ground.
The view in front of him had changed; it was now an ordinary room, and many people were standing around him…
Standing in front of him was a middle-aged man in a suit, the same man who had just called his name.
Meng Youcheng looked at him with some confusion...
The old man immediately became displeased and pointed at him, saying, "What are you still standing here for? Didn't you hear what I just said?!"
What are you saying...?
[001: Hello, host. Welcome to your second transmigration story, "The Future Movie King and His Caged Bird." Your current role is that of an intern agent.]
Just then, the old man suddenly spoke up, "What's wrong with you? Come with me!"
Meng Youcheng followed...
[001 continues: What you need to do now is become the male lead Jiang Yuming's agent. He's currently a nobody, so you must seize this opportunity. After becoming his agent, your task is to help him become a movie star.]
The man thought for a moment, "What makes someone a Best Actor?"
[001: Actually, it's easy to understand. This world is different from the real world. All you need to do is help the male lead win the highest award, the "Best Actor Award," and the mission is complete.]
Meng Youcheng nodded. "I will do my best..."
[001: There is a hidden setting in this novel. The male protagonist is the heir to the Jiang family business. Dissatisfied with his father's control, he runs away from home and joins this company as an idol trainee. This is a hidden setting that only you know.]
The man thought for a moment, then remained silent.
What a cliché plot...
Why would you rather be a proper young master and come here to suffer?
Following the usual formula of novels, he should be trying to make a name for himself and prove himself to his father, right?
Ugh……
If it were me, I'd probably be staying home and counting money every day!
How could I possibly come out and suffer a loss?!
Meng Youcheng followed the old man for a while, turning several corners, and finally arrived at their destination.
Ten people stood in a row, and another nine people stood on the opposite side...
The old man pointed to the empty seat. "Meng Youcheng, go over there, that's your spot..."
"Okay."
The man walked over...
The game has turned into a ten-on-ten match...
Meng Youcheng glanced around briefly...
This is a fairly ordinary room, nothing strange about it.
However, the other 19 people are indeed somewhat unusual.
The people on my team are clearly much uglier than the people on the other team!
The people in the team opposite us were all very handsome, all men, and all very tall, probably around 1.8 meters. They had big eyes, high noses, and were all quite distinctive...
It's definitely an idol's face...
As for my own pair, they were far inferior. They were both of average appearance, not just ugly, but both were male.
Just then, five large, golden characters suddenly appeared above the head of the boy on the far right of the opposite side...
[Male lead: Jiang Yuming.]
Is this the male lead?
Meng Youcheng looked closely at the young man...
He didn't look very old, probably around 19 or 20 years old. Compared to the people next to him, he seemed to be the youngest...
He's the male lead?!
The man looked at his face carefully...
Jiang Yuming is very tall, probably around 1.8 meters. He has thick eyebrows, but part of them are covered by his bangs, so you can't tell their exact length. His eyelashes aren't very long, and he's a handsome guy with single eyelids...
His eyes are average-sized and very bright, giving him a roguish charm, but personally, I don't think he's very friendly?
The boy's clothes were also very simple...
A denim jacket, a white shirt underneath, and jeans...
He's very handsome, but... he gives off a strange vibe?
The old man standing at a distance finally spoke, "Let me give you a brief introduction. The ones standing on the left are idol trainees carefully selected by the company, and they are the main figures we are preparing to cultivate..."
"As for the person on the right, they are the agents we specially selected for you. They will stay with you and take good care of your daily life. They will also be the ones to fight for the resources you receive..."
"So... all you managers, come and choose your favorite idol trainees."
what? !
What a strange thing...?!
This is the first time I've heard of idol trainees having managers, and being matched one-on-one?
Damn it, is he really not looking for a partner?
And since the company values idol trainees so much, why not let them choose their managers? Why the other way around...?
I can't quite put my finger on it...
The premise is bizarre, like a child being born without an anus—it's strange.
Meng Youcheng didn't think too much about it, but kept a close eye on the male protagonist in the distance...
The guy was clearly getting impatient. He stamped his foot, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and glared at the old man who was still babbling on. He curled his lip, as if to say...
Why are you being so long-winded?
The man looked at the boy and came to a conclusion...
She's a difficult person to please!
The old man continued, "Alright, let's choose one by one, you go first..."
He pointed to the gentleman on the far left, "Xiao Wang, you choose first, in order..."
Meng Youcheng looked at the order the old man was talking about. If that was really the case, wouldn't he be the last one?
What if someone steals the male lead away?
This won't do...!
He has to win custody of the male lead—no, he has to become his manager, otherwise how can he complete the mission?
He stared at the old man in front of him...
That old guy looks fierce and isn't easy to talk to, so let's just forget about it...?
Is it unlikely that anyone will choose him?
Judging from his appearance, he seems to be the most difficult to please among all these idol trainees!
Thankfully, the first agent perfectly avoided the male lead...
He wouldn't even look at him...
How so?
From the moment they arrived until now, Meng Youcheng has also noticed these agents, who have been observing the trainees' reactions...
The male lead is the worst...
Although he is the most handsome in terms of looks, if they pick someone who doesn't listen to them, wouldn't their manager's efforts be wasted?
If those interns are disobedient and cause trouble everywhere, it's better to choose someone less attractive; at least there's hope!
Time passed second by second...
Jiang Yuming stomped his feet faster and faster, his face filled with dissatisfaction, his brows furrowed tightly...
Finally, everyone except Meng Youcheng got their interns...
Fortunately, the male lead wasn't chosen...
Meng Youcheng breathed a sigh of relief and walked over. "It seems I... have no other choice?"
Just then, Jiang Yuming suddenly spoke up, "I don't want him to be my manager!!!"
