Chapter 132: This Is A Dream That Looks Beautiful But Is Hard To Come True

Xu Yi fell silent.

He took out his phone and found a number.

It was the number of the talent scout who kindly reminded him that he wasn’t capable of playing this game that required a large capital.

“So these are idols that fans spend all their money on? What the fuck is this!” “As expected, he did get famous after his debut, but that was also his curtain call. He sure peaked quickly.”

“A good-looking outside with a maggot’s soul.”

“Society is always indulged in money, and the easiest group of people to lose themselves are children obsessed with celebrities.”

“It’s hard to be a functional member of society after entering prison, much less an idol.”

“A drug-selling idol, debuting in the center position at a police station.”

“It wouldn’t be strange for someone with a low income to be envious if his peers wore clothing that cost tens of thousands of dollars.”

“Family background is the most important thing in the entertainment industry.”

“Any chicken, cat, or dog can become an idol with enough money.”

“Aren’t many entertainment companies selling scumbags as idols too?” Regardless of whether Xu Yi believed it or not, the majority of chat believed it. Some viewers with connections to talent shows or entertainment companies even came out and proved that Chen Yu’s analysis was correct.

Talent shows weren’t so much about choosing the most talented idols as they were about choosing who had the most resources.

Trainees with strong family backgrounds, as long as they were willing to spend money and resources, could be celebrities or idols, no matter how ugly they were.

Any entertainment company would be more than willing to package such a wealthy heir as a once-in-a-century idol star at the right price.

On the contrary, those without the money to create an interesting persona would have zero attention, no matter how solid their performing skills were. Trying to be famous on a talent show was always a cruel reality.

On the other side, after much hesitation, Xu Yi dialed the number of the talent scout.

“Sister Yang, I’m Xu Yi. 1 want to ask you something.”

When the call went through, Xu Yi asked about all the various events that required him to pay for himself in the talent show.

“Sigh.”

A woman’s sigh came from the phone.

“Xu Yi, I don’t know who told you these, but what he said is true.”

“If you want to stand out and become an idol, you must prepare at least 500,000 yuan.”

The woman, whom Xu Yi called Sister Yang, affirmed Xu Yi’s words with a complicated tone.

The tuition fees spent on training were only a tiny amount compared to the actual.

“Xu Yi, I’ve already submitted my resignation report to the company.”

“I will officially resign in a month, and I hope we can have a good chat before I leave.”

“Back then, when 1 scouted you from the streets, it wasn’t because you were talented or handsome. I was just following according to the standards the company gave me.”

According to Sister Yang, their company had set three standards for scouting talent.

Someone no more than 21 years old.

Someone who loved to take selfies wasn’t too ugly and was full of confidence. The third and most crucial point was that they needed to be rich.

Sister Yang saw Xu Yi wearing branded sneakers, and she mistakenly thought Xu Yi’s family did not lack money, so she scouted him into their company.

As time passed, Sister Yang gradually realized that Xu Yi’s family background wasn’t even well-off.

Moreover, his father was disabled.

Thus, she kindly reminded Xu Yi that he couldn’t play a game where money was constantly burned.

“It doesn’t matter if you believe in yourself or not. In short, with your family’s conditions, you won’t be able to debut as an idol.”

“You blindly believe that you will definitely become famous, but you don’t know that becoming a famous idol depends on how much money you have.” “Xu Yi, I’ve been a talent scout for many years. I’ve seen all kinds of children.” “Many people only realize that this is a dream created by stacks of cash when they are in their twenties or thirties, but it is already very difficult to turn back.”

“You’re still young. It’s not too late for you to quit and return to school.”

Sister Yang told Xu Yi frankly that her job as a talent scout was not to find people with the potential to become great celebrities.

She was in sales, and she was selling a carefully packaged celebrity dream to those children filled with vanity who wanted to become famous overnight. Children of Xu Yi’s age had no idea what they wanted.

As they were in constant exposure to the colorful life of an idol, one would unconsciously yearn for it.

In addition to Sister Yang and the company’s various inducements, it would cause these children to have the illusion that they could also become such stars.

“Xu Yi, I’m going for a prenatal checkup now. Take care of yourself in the future.”

With that, Sister Yang hung up the phone.

“Was everything just a dream?”

Xu Yi muttered to himself with a pained expression.

Chen Yu crossed his hands and rested his chin on them as he replied indifferently, “Sister Yang, your talent scout, has already made it very clear to you.”

“This dream looks beautiful but is one that is very difficult to realize.”

“If you think it’s worth it, you can end your consultation now.”

“You will suffer from severe self-blame depression because of this unrealistic dream.”

“If you don’t think it’s worth it, you might as well stay and listen to me.”

Xu Yi didn’t move at all, as he was in so much pain that he didn’t know what to do.

After waiting for a while and seeing that Xu Yi hadn’t left, Chen Yu said, “As the old saying goes, it’s never too late to mend the fold.”

“If you wake up from this dream, you can return to your original life and do what you should do.”

“In the days to come, you may suffer a lot, but it will definitely be better than the bad ending brought by this dream.”

“Dr. Chen, my mind is in a mess. I’ll go offline first.”

Xu Yi replied curtly, and his face disappeared from the screen.

At the same time, a large number of comments flew in chat.

“This child could still be saved, right?”

“Dr. Chen has already pointed out his future to him. It’s up to him now. Even the gods can’t save him if he continues down this path.”

“I’m a child born in the 1980s. When we were young, our teachers asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. The answer was always to be a scientist, a teacher, a worker, or a soldier.”

“When I was young, I wanted to be a teacher too, but when 1 grew up, 1 became a factory worker and lived a life 1 once hated the most.”

“Sob… The person above, stop it. If you continue, I’m really going to cry.”

“If I could meet myself from 20 years ago, I would like to apologize to him. I didn’t become the man you wanted me to be and am now nothing but a middleman in a mundane business market.”

“If my younger self knew the grievances I’m going through now, she would definitely forgive me.”

Unknowingly, the chat’s atmosphere had turned into one of reminiscence.

Many viewers mentioned their past dreams; only some could walk down their path without changing their original intentions.

Chen Yu sighed softly.

The cheapest thing in the world was a dream.

Yet, the most priceless thing were also dreams.

The key was to continue pursuing one’s dreams without changing one’s original intention.

As for Xu Yi’s dream, it was a dream that gambled with his family’s future.

He was betting everything on a dream that might end with nothing.

The Heavenly Secrets Strategy could help Chen Yu point out the future of others and guide them to the most appropriate solution.

But that was all.

If a person can’t learn to save himself, as a certain viewer said, even the gods cannot help him..
