It would be more accurate to say that it was a hotel apartment building built by Escrow Media. Starting from the 15th floor, there were all the artists and staff under the contract from Escrow Media.
Below the fifteenth floor was the work area. There were dance rooms, recording rooms, interior shooting rooms, and various training rooms. Underneath the seventh floor was the leisure area and living area. In short, everything was planned in unison, and there was a sense of semi-militarization. However, this kind of management system was indeed very convenient to manage the artists, let alone worry about their private lives being taken in secret.
I've heard that even A-list celebrities have to listen to the company's arrangements here. Even if they have numerous mansions all over the world, they must live here during their working days, unless they leave the company.
However, their room was as luxurious as a presidential suite. It also had a housekeeper and personal assistant that lasted 24 hours. Compared to Tang Xiao Yi's ordinary room, it was tens of thousands of times more luxurious.
Tang Xiao Yi pulled open the curtain and looked out at the sky. She felt that this place was like a military camp, devoid of any freedom.
However, there were so many people who wanted to sneak in.
There was another building in front of him. It was less than a thousand feet away from him, and there were four large words written in an imposing manner … Lujia International.
Tang Xiaoyi didn't know that the two companies were so close to each other. When she came to attend the annual meeting at Lujia International, she was so excited that she didn't notice Escrow Media.
From the looks of it, Zhong Yuqing was indeed a major shareholder and investor. The two companies were close to each other. Usually, the employees of the two companies would walk downstairs and talk to each other, just like two dormitories in the same university.
Tang Xiaoyi and a few other newbies followed the body teacher to practice their basic skills. When she was young, she was chosen by the school to join the ballet team in the city, so she had some dancing background and a good sense of balance, so these basic skills were very simple for her.
However, there were two tall men beside him, and they couldn't coordinate their hands and feet.
”My name is KIKI, what about you?” During the break, a girl who looked to be around her age came over and asked.
”Tang Xiao Ai.” Tang Xiaoyi was usually very quiet, so she was always on the other side of the conversation.
”Ah, you're Tang Xiaoyi?” The girl called KIKI sized her up with a look of surprise and envy and said excitedly, ”I heard that I specially prepared a welcoming dinner for you last night. All the celebrities with a rank 2 or higher attended it!”
”Oh …” Tang Xiao Yi was a bit surprised, but her expression remained calm.
She thought that every new person would be like a new student introducing himself at a dinner party.
”Please take care of me from now on!” KIKI immediately extended his hand towards Tang Xiaoyi.
”We'll take care of each other.” Tang Xiao Yi politely shook her hand and discovered that the newbies opposite her were whispering to each other as if they were discussing her.
”How do you know your boss?” I hear you're old friends, right? ” KIKI was a bar keyboarder, found out by scouts and signed up for the company, but three months had passed and she was still undergoing this boring training every day without any notice.
There were also people here who were not valued for a few years after they signed up for the company, wasting their youth.
But some people get lucky as soon as they get in, make records, take pictures, and march into the big screen...” In just a few months, he had become a popular celebrity.
What Tang Xiaoyi didn't know was that in one night, the company had completely changed her identity.
Since Qin Junning had prepared a banquet for her and she had fallen at Zhong Yueqing's feet during the banquet, this was originally a circle filled with gossips. Therefore, everything about her had already spread far and wide among the various artists.
And from this chattering girl, Tang Xiaoyi learned that although Escrow Media had a strict, semi-military management system, it was still very serious. Newcomers were basically the targets of bullying, and only by relying on luck or ability did they slowly climb to the top.
Furthermore, if they could not get a job, the artists' lives would be very difficult. They would have basically no income. Although they had food and shelter in the company, they did not have any financial resources.
The company would not support these people for nothing, so it was very likely that it would arrange for some small meals or other hard work for them. It might even be dissatisfied with the contract cycle and kick them out.
