This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 218 Please write a clarification statement of no more than two hundred words.

Before they arrived, Li Quan told Wang Jiayue and Chen Ke Burning Studio that there would be a written test.

At the time, neither of them thought much of it.

It's just a written test, how difficult can it be?
To become a singer, you simply need to be tested on some musical knowledge.

For agents like Chen Ke, the test assesses their knowledge of agent-related matters.

Moreover, the entire written exam was open-book.

How could this not be made?
When they received the written test questions, they were completely dumbfounded.

This is not what they expected!

Wang Jiayue held a pen in her right hand and kept scratching her head with her left.

The test questions were placed on the table in front of me.

According to Li Quan, the test questions were requested by Lu Ran, and in fact, Lu Ran even created these questions.

For example, there was a question on her written test paper.

"Suppose you are photographed with someone of the opposite sex during a private trip, sparking dating rumors, but in reality the other person is just a work colleague. Please write a clarification statement of no more than 200 words."

Wang Jiayue was stuck for half a day and didn't start writing.

There were some lines she had thought of on the draft paper next to her, but she felt they were all inappropriate.

Wang Jiayue felt no sense of identification with the character.

"Who would take pictures of me? With my status, would paparazzi even need to photograph me? And no women are with me. Where are they?"

Besides these reasons, there is another core reason: Wang Jiayue really couldn't think of a way to write a qualified clarification statement.

She searched online for similar statements issued by other celebrities.

However, the statement was issued because of the public opinion surrounding the romantic rumors involving another female celebrity.

Another celebrity's statement contained a ton of typos and grammatical errors, and this celebrity is actually a very popular actor.

Wang Jiayue felt extremely exhausted.

She looked at Chen Ke, who was answering questions beside her.

Seeing her looking at him, Chen Ke subconsciously shielded the test paper from her.

Then Chen Ke remembered that everyone's questions were different, so she moved her hand away.

Wang Jiayue muttered, "Sister Chen, I really don't know how to do this problem."

"Don't rush, I'll show you after I finish writing it."

Wang Jiayue asked in surprise, "You're almost finished?"

Chen Ke scoffed, "What's so difficult about this kind of question?"

Wang Jiayue leaned closer to take a look.

Chen Ke's test questions were slightly different from hers.

However, one of the questions had the same stem as the question she received about walking with a man, only the wording was different.

Chen Ke's question also involved writing a statement, but the requirement was to balance the facts with public sentiment.

All she asked for was clarification.

This is why the things that agents need to consider are different from the things that artists themselves need to consider.

Chen Ke wrote with divine inspiration, answering the questions swiftly.

Seeing Chen Ke answering the questions, Wang Jiayue was not willing to fall behind.

"I believe I can do it too!"

She left the question about the clarification statement blank and quickly moved on to the next question.

When it was time to leave, Lu Ran and Li Quan walked in.

Wang Jiayue and the other woman looked at Lu Ran with a strange expression.

Looking across the entire entertainment industry, Burning Studio is the only studio that requires artists and agents to take a written test before signing a contract.

No matter how you look at it, Lu Ran seems to have something wrong with him.

Lu Ran smiled and asked, "Have you finished answering?"

Both of them said, "We've finished answering."

Li Quan collected the papers and then looked at them with Lu Ran.

Wang Jiayue rediscovered the feeling of going to school, as if she had just handed in her homework to the teacher, who then told her not to leave and began to check it.

Before long, Lu Ran finished checking Wang Jiayue's test paper.

Overall, their scores were above average, roughly on par with Zhao Long's. Among the people currently signed by Burning Studio, Peng Zhuoran answered the questions the best, followed by Li Haorui.

Li Quan also finished checking Chen Ke's exam paper.

He then handed the test paper to Lu Ran.

Lu Ran read it again.

It must be said that Chen Ke is indeed an experienced agent, and her professional abilities are beyond question.

In particular, he answered the questions in a very organized manner on the two major topics of artist public opinion management, resource negotiation and teamwork.

The only drawback is that it failed to grasp the spirit of Burning Studio in terms of operational strategy.

But that's alright, you can learn on the job in the future.

After reading it, Lu Ran nodded.

"Then let's prepare to sign the contract."

Upon hearing this, both Wang Jiayue and Chen Ke showed joy on their faces.

They have terminated their contracts with their former company and are now self-employed.

Although Chen Ke and Wang Jiayue could basically be hired by any entertainment company, the only issue was the treatment.

The reason someone wanted her wasn't because Wang Jiayue was particularly outstanding, but because she performed "Stars and Lights" in the final of "Future Singer".

Even though several months have passed, the song "Stars and Lights" is still on the hot song charts, and there are many covers and background music versions on Douyin (TikTok).

Since all of this originated from Lu Ran, it would be better to sign with Lu Ran's company.

Lu Ran single-handedly revived Li Haorui's career, and many minor celebrities in the industry want to sign with Burning Studio.

Even big stars want to ask Lu Ran to write a song for them.

Signing the contract means that Wang Jiayue can also sing songs written by Lu Ran.

After signing the contract, Chen Ke puffed out his chest and smiled, "President Lu, Brother Quan, we're family now. Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together."

Li Quan immediately revealed a wary look and sized up Chen Ke.

It's already winter, and Chen Ke wore a down jacket when she came to the company, but now she's not wearing a down jacket over her clothes; instead, she's wearing a black fitted base layer underneath.

The undershirt clung tightly to her body, revealing her curvaceous figure and making her very alluring.

Wang Jiayue was different; she was wearing a loose-fitting hooded sweatshirt underneath, which completely obscured her figure.

"No need, I'm going home tomorrow. Let's have dinner together another time if we have time."

It wasn't that Lu Ran didn't want to eat; he hadn't seen Wang Jiayue in a long time and wanted to chat with her.

While we're at it, let's hear Chen Ke talk about some gossip within the industry.

Quan Ge has been so busy with his middle school studies that he hasn't heard any gossip. Chen Ke's gossip is much more interesting.

Today he also saw online that a fallen man had a relationship with a top male celebrity in the industry, and he needs to have a serious talk with him.

It's the episode of "Voice of the Heart" that airs tonight where he sings "Really Love You".

He said on the show, "I love you, Mom, see you tomorrow," so he has to make sure his mom can see him tomorrow.

All the work had to be cancelled.

Chen Ke said with some regret, "Then we'll have to reschedule for another day."

"Wang Jiayue, come to the recording studio with me. I'll give you the song first, and you can practice this song for the next few days."

Wang Jiayue's eyes widened when she heard this.

"Is my song ready?"

Li Quan smiled and said, "President Lu and President Shen have already talked about it. Recently, there's been an event on Douyin called 'Farewell and Growth,' and Wang Jiayue is participating in that event."

Douyin, as China's largest short video platform, frequently hosts various events.

This farewell and growth event is one of this year's year-end activities, which solicits songs from across the internet. Users can participate by posting original or cover videos with the hashtag.

Good videos can receive traffic support from Douyin (TikTok).

In addition, celebrities also participate in the promotion.

Several celebrities have already filmed videos on this topic.

Wang Jiayue nodded and immediately followed Lu Ran to the recording studio.

In the recording studio.

Lu Ran handed the printed sheet music file to Wang Jiayue.

"You take a look first."
