After Tencent Entertainment went public.

He actually launched his own second season of trainee selection competition online.

First, fifty trainees were selected from the entire network.

They will then be gathered at a trainee camp in Shanghai for a year-long training and elimination rounds.

In the process, some people will continue to be eliminated.

The three who finally succeed in staying will receive a 500 million yuan investment from Tencent Film to help these newcomers make their debut.

In a short time, he became famous.

However, in late December, when Tencent Pictures released the promotional video for the trainee competition, the entire network was shocked.

The first to arrive was Shen Wanning.

The label is art school beauty.

Being the school belle is nothing. The key point is that she is the recognized school belle of the art school in Beijing.

Don’t be too good at Chinese-style dancing.

She came to Shanghai with her friends by high-speed rail and arrived here.

Tencent Entertainment sent a Rolls-Royce Phantom to pick him up personally at the trainee camp.

And Tengying’s trainee camp is simply a castle in the Magic City.

It covers an area of ​​seven acres, of which the garden alone accounts for 6.5 acres.

The central swimming pool is unimaginably large.

Are they going to spend the next year here?

Shen Wanning was also quite annoyed.

The Magic City Castle has two floors, with more than 20 rooms inside, and trainees are accommodated in pairs in a room.

The second person to appear was Yang Xiaoxiao, who drove her own Ferrari.

The girl in red is a typical rich second generation.

The relaxed feeling that comes with the rich second generation is also fully displayed in her.

Compared to others, he is obviously more relaxed.

As for those who appeared later, only a few of them were introduced in detail.

One is a third-tier female artist with a certain reputation in the circle, who has played many outstanding supporting roles.

She was willing to lower herself to participate in the trainee competition, which undoubtedly meant that she wanted to get a leading role in a movie at Tencent Film.

The trainee competition is definitely very cruel, and in the early stages they will perform their talents in various groups.

Goodbye and continue to be eliminated.

There will be absolutely no fraud during this period.

Who will be eliminated and who will remain is decided by online voting by netizens.

As for the trainee mentors.

There is Yang Mi, as well as Bai Lu, Chen Teng, and a famous veteran actress in the circle.

They choose their own trainees.

Conduct group PK.

The trainee competition is broadcast every Saturday, and each episode is 60 minutes long.

This is also the first time that Tencent Film has truly produced its own variety show.

The main reason is that Chen Pingsheng feels that he has more and more brands under his umbrella.

These brands all need constant exposure.

Instead of spending money on advertising on other people's products, he might as well create his own.

Anyway, these trainees are dirt cheap.

Three thousand yuan a month is not a small amount for them.

The other three mentors are all from their own company, and they were invited to endorse their own variety show.

Not only is the price low, but the effect is also good.

At least there won't be any refusal to cooperate.

Variety shows are so popular nowadays, such as I Am a Singer, The Voice of China, Running Man, etc.

To obtain long-term sponsorship for these programs, at least two small goals must be achieved.

Or the scrolling playback kind.

It would be great if he could set up one of his own, and the first batch of long-term sponsors would all be his own.

Lujiao Coffee, Bobo Milk Tea, Tenghui Department Store, Tengsheng Fresh Food, Tengsheng Fruit, Feiyangyang, Shuiyunjian, etc.

Requires continuous exposure.

This trainee competition is a variety show tailored for his own brand.

In order to make this program a success, he also specially poached the editor-in-chief of Mango TV's ace variety show.

As well as the director team, training team, etc.

It is also a huge expense.

After the pilot promotional video was broadcast, the first thing that shocked the entire network was that Tencent Pictures was rich.

It’s amazing that they could buy such a castle in Shanghai to host a trainee competition.

If you say it has no money, who would believe it?

Chen Pingsheng secretly made comments online, and it was not expensive, only about 500 to 600 million.

But he still looked at the list of trainees, and there really were all kinds of people.

The most interesting one is a factory girl.

She actually said frankly that she came here because the place provides food and accommodation, and pays 3,000 yuan a month.

It's quite interesting too.

A girl like this is the most popular girl in the factory no matter where she goes.

Tengying actually investigated her. She was a female factory worker born in 1998.

Don't make the background too clean.

He doesn't have any talent, he's not very good at singing, and he dances like a duck.

My family conditions are very ordinary, and it was pure luck that I was able to come here.

The name is quite interesting, Phoenix.

Her parents just hope that she can fly out of her hometown like a phoenix.

I don't know if she can stay in the end.

Other girls, besides being pretty, at least have some real skills, but she really doesn't have any of that.

I just can't figure out what's going on and keep looking around.

It is worth mentioning that Jiang Peiyao also went there, and she applied for it on her own.

He said that he wanted to rely on his own abilities to see if he could stand out among the trainees.

She was only twenty-one and had played a few small supporting roles.

Apart from her extremely good looks, there is nothing else to remember her by.

Zhao Liying played supporting roles for five or six years before she made her debut. How could she have achieved anything like this?

Now he is willing to give up his powerful background and become a trainee again.

Even his wife Michelle Song supports it, how could he possibly object?

In addition to releasing its own promotional video, the program also gave a brief introduction to these trainee contestants.

It’s probably about determining the character.

Let them have memorable points quickly, and let the audience remember them easily.

Shen Wanning's label is a traditional Chinese girl.

Yang Xiaoxiao is a rich girl who is very arrogant.

As for Fenghuang, her label is probably the most unique: a female worker with a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan.

She comes here to eat and drink for free, and has no idea what's going on. She just does whatever others tell her to do.

He obviously looks like someone who is easy to bully.

As for Jiang Peiyao, she has many labels, but none of them is well remembered.

With her background, participating in this trainee competition is a complete dimensionality reduction attack.

The director team specially discussed it for an entire night because of her, and finally labeled her as a rebellious girl with a bone scraper.

The whole hair is dyed pink.

The appearance is stunning at first sight and extremely charming.

Which young man wouldn’t be moved after seeing this?

After all the trainees released their popularity voting channels online, the first one to take the top spot was the third-tier female artist in the entertainment industry.

Ranked second is the rustic female factory beauty Fenghuang.

Next is the traditional Chinese style girl Shen Wanning and the second-generation cool girl Yang Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Peiyao happened to be ranked fifth.

The reason why we have to conduct a popularity vote before the official start of the competition.

It is also to make it easier for the director team to choose lenses.

Those with low popularity will have very few shots.

Unless she can get a counterattack.

As for those contestants with more screen time, their popularity will only increase if nothing unexpected happens.

After listening to the editor-in-chief's overall design of the program at the Shanghai headquarters, Chen Pingsheng quickly agreed.

For a program, the key effect is still traffic.

Only with traffic can his brands get the highest exposure.

Thereby boosting stock prices and offline development.

According to the editor-in-chief, the first episode will show their life in this castle in the Magic City.

And daily training, and finally debut as a group and officially perform their talents.

A series of plots will be squeezed into sixty minutes.

Each episode of the program lasts 60 minutes, but the entire filming process takes at least one week.

The core of a reality show is to be real, without too many scripts.

…

Magic City, headquarters building.

With the end of the trainee auditions.

Fifty beautiful girls also officially gathered in the Magic City.

The official broadcast date of the first episode of the trainee program is tentatively scheduled for January 20th.

There is still a full month of preparation time.

And on the 25th.

Everyone was taken to the group headquarters in a Bosu V-class car that cost more than two million yuan.

Formal meeting with the boss.

Among them, Jiang Peiyao is the least anticipated.

She had just had dinner with her brother-in-law in that small house on the Bund yesterday.

Also with them was Xiao An An, she also came to the Magic City.

Tengying's boldness still impressed the trainees.

Jiang Peiyao got on the last black Brabus V-Class, which is the ceiling among nanny cars.

The ride is very comfortable, as trainees often have to move around.

The Shanghai headquarters directly ordered ten machines, which are usually used in the group to pick up and drop off important customers.

Jiang Peiyao, Chen Wanning and Yang Xiaoxiao got in the same car.

Unexpectedly, the last one to come up was Fenghuang, and she was holding a bag of spicy strips in her hand.

He ate it with gusto.

"Do you want it?"

None.

Phoenix wasn't embarrassed at all.

Starting from Bosu, Shen Wanning, who has always been the focus of the crowd wherever he goes, feels the competitive pressure is quite high after coming here.

There are so many outstanding characters.

I heard that the fifty people were selected from tens of thousands of applicants.

Anyone who is released alone will start out as a school beauty.

The kind with talent.

It can be seen that school beauties are really worthless in the entertainment industry.

It's the kind that you can grab a lot of.

There are countless extras in the group.

"We're going to meet the boss soon. Are you nervous?"

Phoenix asked them curiously.

Shen Wanning nodded, "A little bit, what about you?"

"I'm not nervous. I'll stay until the end when I get there. He won't deduct my salary."

Such realistic lines.

Shen Wanning didn't know how to respond.

We drove all the way from Dongjiao Guobin Hotel to the headquarters building in Pudong New Area.

After Jiang Peiyao got off the car, she saw a strange scene.

There were people coming and going in front of the building, and there were even quite a few people gathered at the door.

It was obvious that he was watching something exciting.

Jiang Peiyao walked over and took a look. Chen Anan was wrapped up like a big dumpling.

There was a big golden bowl in front of him, and he was still playing the erhu Yingyue with great enthusiasm.

The little expression on his face is so intoxicated.

What is she doing?

I don't understand it at all.

"An An, why are you sitting here playing the erhu? Why don't you go inside?"

When Chen Anan heard the familiar voice, he took off his big sunglasses a little.

"Aunt Peiyao, don't you see I'm showing off my talents here?"

"Are you here to show off your talents?"

Jiang Peiyao really wanted to ask her, do you know where you are?

"Peiyao, you know her. What a cute girl. Who is she from?"

Yang Xiaoxiao likes Chen Anan very much. There is a big golden bowl in front of her, and it is full of red banknotes.

She didn't have much cash, but I still gave her a thousand.

Chen Anan happily shouted thank you, big sister.

Since people are paying her, she has to perform better.

No one likes me when I wear sunglasses.

Jiang Peiyao felt very embarrassed. When she was about to go to the top floor, Chen Anan felt that she had made enough money for the day.

She put away the big golden bowl and followed them. Very few people in the building knew her, and she didn't come to Shanghai often.

Shen Wanning and Yang Xiaoxiao also asked her: "Little girl, why are you here too?"

"I'm going to find my dad."

Chen Anan smiled, revealing her two big fangs. The two looked at Jiang Peiyao in confusion.

Jiang Peiyao explained: "Her father is the big boss of Tengying Group."

"Huh?" Yang Xiaoxiao was stunned by her amazing move. "Are you performing arts at a stall under your dad's group?"

She is a rich second-generation herself, and she is considered rebellious, but she has never done such a thing.

"That's nothing. I've spent all the pocket money my dad gave me. I have to find a way to make money on my own."

Shen Wanning and the others all thought that they came here today to meet the big boss, but that was not the case.

Chen Pingsheng had no intention of meeting these trainees. They were downstairs signing a contract with Tencent Video to record a live broadcast program.

And make a clear and detailed plan for this year's training.

He definitely doesn't need to do these specific things.

Only Jiang Peiyao could take the elevator to the 22nd floor, while the other trainees went to the 19th floor.

The top floor is not as mysterious and luxurious as imagined.

Only the highest decision-making level of the group.

Chen Pingsheng's office is on the west side, with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides.

The scenery is very good, and you can see most of the Huangpu River from here.

"Dad."

Chen Anan held a large golden bowl in her hand and carried on her back the small erhu that she had bought for 200,000 yuan.

"Chen Anan, you can do it!"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Your school teacher called to praise you, saying you were smart. After you ran out of pocket money, you took a broken erhu and swindled half of your classmates' pocket money."

Chen Pingsheng patted her on the shoulder. This big-breasted kid not only dared to play the erhu in front of his group.

The same applies in school.

After making money, she even bribed a bunch of little brats to work with her to do this.

The teacher got a headache after seeing this.

Chen Anan didn't admit it, she just made a living by her own ability.

There's nothing wrong with spending your own money!

Chen Pingsheng was too lazy to pay attention to her. Big Brat only made a little money, which was not of much use to her.

Three melons and two dates.

"Dad, I want to buy a limited edition erhu. Can you go with me?"

"Go find your mother, she will definitely buy it for you."

After Chen Pingsheng brushed the dust off her body, he tidied up her down jacket for her.

"If you want to mess around, don't come to the group. If the employees knew your identity, would they have the nerve to not pay you?"

"Many interns don't even make 200,000 yuan a year, and you're still accepting their money. How dare you? Even your parents can't afford to be embarrassed by that person."

Okay... Chen Anan scratched the back of his head and suddenly felt embarrassed about how much money he earned.

Next time I will go to someone else’s door and never come to my own group again.
