Chapter 3 The second character card, Yu Lan.
After signing, Jiang Huai immediately felt himself relax, especially mentally, as if every nerve in his body was smoothed and stretched by an invisible force.
[This is another benefit of the rating increase. Controlling the vest requires a lot of mental strength. In order to adapt to the gold finger, your mental strength will also increase. But unfortunately, we are on the set of the modern urban entertainment circle. If you go to the interstellar text, you may be able to drive an SSS-level mecha in the future. ]
[Based on my poor performance in my previous life, if this were a StarCraft story, I would probably start on a remote and backward planet, never see any mechas, and die in a few days due to environmental changes or something.]
[You are quite self-aware.]
"Produce Producer" is still in the contestant recruitment stage. The trainees will be announced in a month, the first stage will be broadcast live in a month and a half, and the program will be officially broadcasted after another week.
Because Jiang Huai's strength has almost reached the level where he can debut, Sang Hong only requires him to come to the company's practice room three times a week to improve his basic skills, and he can arrange the rest of the time as he pleases.
Jingming Media is indeed a top domestic entertainment company, and it is really rich. Trainees like him who have special contracts receive a monthly subsidy of 3,000 yuan, and they will have additional income according to the contract if they appear in variety shows and other jobs. They can also receive a one-month signing subsidy just after signing the contract.
Jiang Huai looked at the newly added 3,000 yuan income and the total balance of 4,800 yuan on his bank card, and in a good mood he took the subway back to his shabby rental house.
Jiang Huai was very poor at the age of 18. He did not go to college after graduating from high school. He worked outside by himself and lived in a rented house for 800 yuan a month. Although the room was small, it was very clean.
Jiang Huai is not a germaphobe, but he has liked to keep things tidy since he was a child. Therefore, there is almost no dust in the small house except for the traces of time due to its age.
He earns 3,000 yuan a month from working, most of which is spent on the basic necessities of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Overall, his situation is better than most, but not as bad as most. He really can't save much money, but he can still live a decent life.
The most difficult time for him was when he first started as a trainee in his previous life.
Without a special contract, I was too busy practicing to have time to work, and I only received a subsidy of 1,000 yuan a month. It cost 6 yuan to take the subway to the company and back, which was 180 yuan for 30 days in a month.
The remaining money was used to pay for food, water and electricity. He couldn't even afford the rent of 800 yuan, so he had to rent a house shared by six people. All his roommates were crazy. After living there for a week, he became mentally weak and had dark circles under his eyes as if he had taken drugs.
But this didn't last long. His fellow trainee Ao Yutang was a relative of Jiang Huai and soon noticed his plight.
Ao Yutang actually initially thought that Jiang Huai was taking drugs, and was considering whether he should report it to his superiors to prevent Jiang Huai from being caught one day and causing a scandal that would affect the company's reputation. But later, during a vocal practice, Jiang Huai helped him with some pointers.
The naive young master thought, we are competitors, but he is willing to teach me to sing, so he must be a good person, right?
So Ao Yutang asked boldly, and finally found out that Jiang Huai was just too poor and lived in a shabby place, so he helped arrange a dormitory for him.
This saved the 180 yuan transportation fee, and Jiang Huai gratefully treated the young master to a barbecue meal that cost more than 100 yuan. As a result, Ao Yutang, who had a delicate stomach, had to rush to the hospital for an IV drip overnight - this is a story for later.
Although the company only requires him to go three times a week, Jiang Huai still maintains a basic practice intensity of six hours a day in order to recover. More importantly, he can eat in the company's cafeteria and the commuting cost is much more affordable than buying groceries and cooking for himself.
During this period, all the trainees of the same period were familiar with Jiang Huai. The reason was simple. Jiang Huai was handsome and easy to talk to. He was strong enough to be a mentor to most people. He answered all the questions of the young trainees and was as reliable as the eldest brother in martial arts novels.
During one of her routine inspections at the practice room, Sang Hong saw Jiang Huai helping someone correct something. She was surprised but couldn't help but think to herself that she had good vision. She secretly decided to allocate a little more company resources to Jiang Huai during the recording of the program.
Jiang Huai knew nothing about these things. He was the same in his previous life and didn't feel anything at all. He practiced almost everything and his basic skills were restored to 80%. After recording the contestant recruitment video required by the program team, he began to work with the system to figure out how to create a new vest to stir up during the audition.
This is much more complicated than Chu Yuanqing's lawyer vest. As an outsider of the entertainment industry, Chu Yuanqing can provide little help to Jiang Huai, but he is purely a tool for Jiang Huai and does not need to worry about being sucked away by the reverse.
The new vests of talent shows are really a hot potato. If they are contestants of the same type and have overlapping personalities, even if they are selling homosexuality well, there is a risk that they will become the real body to provide blood transfusions to the vests, which will be counterproductive.
At the same time, the newly created vest can only sign up for variety shows through personal channels, otherwise the same company will be involved in resource allocation. Therefore, this vest cannot lack personal charm, otherwise it will not be able to enter the program recording at all - it is really worrying.
[My suggestion is to make a golden flower.] The system commented, [Classics sell well, and they are unlikely to overlap with your early fan types.]
Jiang Huai asked back: [Don’t I have a nanny? ]
[…Calm down, aren’t you a straight man? Can you stop thinking about your parents-in-law for now? You create a beautiful loser persona, and practice with him in the practice room. There will definitely be people who will like you.]
[But my character in this kind of CP is a bit like a tool person, I don’t think it will attract many fans. ]
[Stupid! Isn't it easy for you to make Jinhua fans run away? You have the script of a popular girl but you only send arrows to her. Fans will definitely not be able to stand this love-brained attitude. And the money of CP fans is not money? You can't openly cheat on her, right? ]
Jiang Huai exclaimed: [I have clearly read 1001 Jinjiang entertainment novels, but I still can't compare to your professionalism. It really makes sense. ]
[Nonsense, No. 819, I am the most advanced system. You are so lucky to follow me.]
A week before the end of player recruitment, Jiang Huai finally finalized the general idea of re-stirring with the system and created a new vest.
【Character Card
Name: Yu Lan
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Background: His strength is as weak as a piece of trash, but with just a glance back, he can make all the maids kiss him. 】
[…This background introduction is too awkward.] Jiang Huai held his forehead, [When I think about the fact that I will have to log in and play as a pseudonym in the future, I really don’t know what to say.]
[Just act cool. With this face, I found countless references from the tags of white moonlight, charming, beautiful, strong and miserable, and Gaolingzhihua, and polished it very carefully. People will automatically fall in love with you without you even saying anything, don't worry. ]
Based on the straight male aesthetic, Jianghuai has to admit that the system's aesthetic is indeed good.
She has fair skin, a smooth face, delicate and three-dimensional facial features, long and thick eyelashes, and the most beautiful thing about her is her pair of light amber eyes. Her smile perfectly neutralizes her cold and aloof temperament, making her look like a banished immortal who has descended to earth.
It looks good, but it feels awkward on his face. Jiang Huai put on Yu Lan's vest and forced a smile in front of the mirror, but he felt so uncomfortable that his scalp tingled and he almost scared himself.
But the work still had to be done. Jiang Huai rented a dance studio, set up a camera in front of a mirror, and began recording a video to recruit contestants for Produce Producer—he borrowed the camera from a trainee he had helped before.
The first time, the dance was completely Jiang Huai’s own style, click.
The second time, Jiang Huai's flavor was a little lighter, but the dance was still very good, not at the level that Yu Lan could reach, click.
The third time, it was completely messed up and so bad that it was unbearable to watch, click.
The fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time...
Just a contestant recruitment video, Jiang Huai, the powerful devil, recorded it repeatedly for three hours in a panic, and finally came up with a version that looked not very talented but still attracted people's attention.
When editing the video, he cleverly added a few close-ups, showing the face that was carefully sculpted by the system right in front of the camera.
If the program crew is not blind, they will let Yu Lan pass under this pseudonym.
On June 21, 2024, the 100 contestants of "Produce Producer" were revealed for the first time. It topped the Weibo hot search list within half an hour of its release and swept major forum groups at the speed of light.
An hour later, Jiang Huai clicked on the hot post on the forum.
【Explosive·Re-training uniform photo discussion center】
[Jingming and Huatian are two big companies working together and still have this aesthetic, there is really no hope. This white suit is so tacky that it looks like the outfit my uncle wore at his company's annual meeting. There are so many uniform photos that I almost have the uncanny valley effect.]
[Is this program organized by Jingming and Huatian? Did they buy the copyright? Or did they just copy it? ]
【↑I really bought it this time, I didn’t copy it. 】
[Doesn't that mean that several debut spots have already been locked? What's the point of a fully automatic talent show? ]
[It's not necessarily a fully automatic selection, these two leaders seem to be relatively respectable, especially Jingming, isn't it a well-known honest company? ]
[Although the clothes are ugly and there are so many people at first glance, there are a few who look pretty good [Picture]]
[I think you are really hungry. How can these 100 ugly people dominate the entire platform? ]
[If you look carefully, you will find that they are not all ugly, some of them are pretty good. ]
[Is Si Xi the Huatian royal family member that was previously rumored? He looks exactly like the one in the Reuters report. It would be really nice if there were no physical fraud. ]
[I think it’s not as good as this one, Yu Lan. She can wear this white suit so holy, and her name is nice too. [Picture] I’ll take the place of the cool beauty. ]
As expected, the most discussed contestants in the forum were still the same popular contestants from the previous life, but this time there was one more person named Yu Lan, his alias.
Some people also mentioned Jiang Huai himself, but not many, and he is far behind the popular candidates.
Sang Hong had mentioned to him before that although Jingming valued him, this company was as honest as Jiang Huai in his previous life. She said that they would not rush to send in water troops in the early stage of the show. At most, they would package several contestants from their own company together and send out a press release. They could only ensure that there would be no less shots, and they would not use him as a sacrifice. The specific details still depended on his performance in the show.
However, as a special contract trainee, he can perform his first stage alone, which is also the most important wave of traffic in the early stage of the program.
With his strength, plus the help of the golden finger and the system, Jiang Huai was not too worried.
But the fan club member mentioned in the post just now... when the contestants enter the camp in two weeks, only the popular contestants will have people specifically buy shares and wait to sell the pictures later. The other contestants will basically rely on the company's efforts.
Jingming's honest company doesn't seem to be of much help, so he has to figure out how to turn things around on his own.
Jiang Huai suddenly had an idea and opened the cheating panel, calling out the character card named Chu Yuanqing.
Isn’t that it?
