After a short break, the "Super Idol" program crew contacted Lin Yanran and assigned him a new shooting task.
Because there were four mentor teams, in order to enhance the tacit understanding and feelings between the mentors and the trainees, the program team asked the mentors to secretly prepare a mysterious gift for the trainees in their group.
Tomorrow the production team will film the mentors giving gifts to the trainees, and will later edit the collected materials into the program and behind-the-scenes footage.
After listening to the task, Lin Yanran already had a suitable gift in mind, but he still confirmed with the staff first, "Are there any requirements for the gift?"
The staff thought Lin Yanran didn't know what to give as a gift, so they explained to him, "There are no requirements. It's just a plot line of a mentor caring about the trainees. Teacher Yanran, you can give them your previous albums or something like that. Just find a suitable reason to package it when giving it to them and it will be OK."
The subtext is that this gift doesn't need to be particularly thoughtful, as long as it's there.
After Lin Yanran received a response from the staff on the spot, she felt a little relieved.
Then he rushed to the mall overnight.
After buying the gifts he wanted to give to the trainees, he wrote down an address for the mall and asked them to deliver them over tomorrow.
So at three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, outside the "Super Idol" dormitory, everyone saw a truck from a shopping mall parked there, and the movers were still moving things into the trainees' dormitory.
Upon learning that it was a gift prepared by Lin Yanran for the trainees, the cameramen in his group immediately followed up and immediately went to the trainees' dormitory to prepare to shoot the footage.
The gift prepared by Lin Yanran was put in a large cardboard box. There was no logo on the outside so no one could tell what was inside.
However, with fifteen large boxes neatly stacked together, the scene still looked quite spectacular.
The part where the mentors from the other three groups gave gifts had already been filmed. Now seeing that Yan Ran, the mentor from the last group, had also given a gift, they all came over to join in the fun.
"Wow, so impressive!"
“I’m so jealous!”
"I don't know what's inside. I want to know right away."
The young men all looked over here curiously.
The 60 trainees were divided into four groups. On the surface, they said they were good brothers, but in fact they would compare with each other in private.
Compare the quality of the tutors and the prices of the gifts the tutors gave today.
Yan Ran is a mentor who is disliked by most people. Many people know that he is poor and ignorant, so everyone actually looks down on his gifts from the bottom of their hearts.
Many people agree that people like Yanran are not capable of giving any good gifts.
But today, they suddenly sent such a big box of gifts, and judging from the appearance, it seemed quite high-end. The trainees from other groups were scratching their heads like cats, and they couldn't wait to see what was inside.
However, each group has its own story line, so after the staff waited for Yanran and the trainees in their group to arrive, they closed the door and started filming individually.
Everyone in the director team was extremely curious and wanted to see what surprise Yanran had brought to everyone.
So under everyone's expectant gaze, Yanran opened the box.
A few seconds later, a brand new foot bath bucket appeared in front of everyone~
After seeing what the gift was, everyone at the scene was stunned.
Seeing that the trainees were all very surprised, Lin Yanran explained to everyone why she chose a foot bath bucket as a gift.
"You guys usually dance and practice hard, soaking your feet before going to bed at night can relieve fatigue and help you sleep."
After saying that, he went to the corner of the room, opened another large box, and took out many Chinese herbal foot bath bags from it.
Lin Yanran put a pack in Xia Xingxing's hand and said, "Your sleep quality at night is not very good and you are prone to insomnia. You can use this to calm your nerves."
Xia Xingxing was overjoyed to see that her idol was the first person to show concern for her.
Because I was so happy, I forgot to ask my idol how he knew that I tend to suffer from insomnia at night.
Next, Lin Yanran put another bag of foot bath bags in Ji Shuai's hand, "You are prone to acne, you can use this wolfberry, chrysanthemum, cassia seed, and honeysuckle tea bag to clear away heat and reduce internal heat."
After he finished speaking, he took out a bag of mugwort foot bath and distributed it to other people in the team.
“This removes moisture.”
Then he took out another pack.
"This relaxes the meridians and promotes blood circulation."
Then take another pack.
"This is a way to calm the mind and maintain health..."
Lin Yanran, who distributed the foot bath bags in an orderly manner, was like a health master. He knew the therapeutic effect of each foot bath bag very well, as if he had soaked in each bag himself!
The director, who was staring at the monitor to watch the progress of Lin Yanran's shooting, was extremely excited when he heard Lin Yanran's introduction!
He turned to look at the young employee next to him and asked, "Are foot bath bags really that useful? I'll buy a few bags to try."
Young employee: ????
“You think I can understand this at my age??”
The director pointed at Lin Yanran in the picture and said, "Yanran is younger than you and knows you well."
The young employee resisted the urge to roll his eyes: F*ck me…
If you don't understand, then don't understand. Why is the director attacking age? !
The young employee complained silently in his heart, then glanced at the thermos cup that Lin Yanran carried with her every day that flashed across the camera, and couldn't help but start thinking about the same question as the director.
How come Yan Ran, who is so young, pays more attention to health preservation than middle-aged people! !
The matching foot bath bags that Lin Yanran bought were arranged according to the physical condition of each person in their group.
After he finished his introduction, each trainee stepped forward to take his or her own foot bath bucket and bag.
Among the fifteen people, some were surprised by the gift, some were very happy, and some were extremely disappointed and couldn't hide it no matter how hard they tried.
Gao Yu and Jin Letian looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
The real thought in their hearts was to throw this embarrassing thing away immediately.
However, because there were cameras recording the entire process, they had to pull up the corners of their mouths and pretend to be very happy and say thank you to Lin Yanran.
Lin Yanran noticed their expressions but said nothing.
He could understand why the trainees felt that the gift was not fashionable enough.
But at the moment, he thought that this gift was the most practical and most suitable one for them at the price he could afford.
After all, the balance in his bank card is only in four digits.
The money used to buy the gifts was also all the remuneration he received for filming the traffic safety advertisement yesterday.
As soon as the money was on the card, he paid it to the merchant before it even got warm.
Among the trainees on the scene, Xia Xingxing seemed the happiest. After all, as a die-hard fan of Yan Ran, he liked whatever his idol gave him.
He happily held the foot bath bag and immediately wanted to get some water to soak his feet.
"Sister Election Supervisor, can I use these right away? I was exhausted from a day of dancing yesterday."
After the election officials agreed, Xia Xingxing immediately started to put it into practice.
Seeing that the filming here was completed, the trainees from other groups also hurried over to see their gifts.
As a result, seeing Xia Xingxing happily busy soaking her feet, they immediately dispersed after realizing what Yan Ran had given his teammates.
So the news that Yanran gave away a foot bath bucket and a foot bath bag immediately spread among all the trainees.
In the blind spot where the camera could not capture, many people gathered together to talk about what happened today, which then caused everyone to laugh.
"Poor people really can't be on the stage."
"I am dying of laughter. What kind of gift did Yanran give me? It's so tacky and low-brow."
"I thought the album Han Zhe gave us was the worst, but I didn't expect it to be even worse."
Xuan Yihan happened to pass by and was pulled aside by everyone to listen to the gossip.
"Don't say that. Actually, he has good intentions, but..." Xuan Yihan smiled maliciously, "It's just that his personal aesthetics and taste are poor. We can't control it."
After he stumbled over the necklace incident, he was actually very annoyed with Lin Yanran.
Seeing that the other party gave such a shameful gift today, Xuan Yihan wished he could join everyone in mocking him.
But he had previously wrongly accused Lin Yanran of stealing and was warned by the program crew, so he had to keep a low profile recently.
So he could only speak to Lin Yanran in a sarcastic tone in the corner with his friends.
After Xuan Yihan finished speaking, someone looked at him enviously, "Your tutor is really good. He sent cake, milk tea and hot pot. These snacks are so practical to eat. Brother Pei is really thoughtful."
Xuan Yihan smiled complacently, but what she said was, "It's not bad. Your group's skin care products are more expensive and practical. Come to my dormitory later and I'll share some snacks with you."
These snacks were sent to their group by Pei Luo on the pretext that he wanted to eat them.
After everyone had dinner in the evening, the recording of a new episode began.
The trainees were called to the studio by the program team, and then the director appeared in front of them.
"Hello fellow trainees. I haven't seen you for a few days. I feel like you have grown a lot."
The director stood in the center of the stage, glanced at everyone present, and smiled, appearing exceptionally kind.
However, to the trainees, his smile carried a sense of foreboding, as if he could set a trap for them at any time.
As it turned out, everyone's hunch turned out to be correct. The newest rules of this competition announced by the director were really tricky.
"You will now face your first performance." The director paused deliberately before slowly saying, "This performance will be different from previous ones. On the day of the performance, all the trainees' performances will be presented to the audience in the form of a live broadcast."
When they heard the word "live broadcast", all the trainees were stunned.
Not only the trainees, but also the mentors were equally surprised.
Tang Tang quickly patted Lin Yanran beside her and spread out her hands with an incredible look on her face.
"This rule is so exciting..."
Lin Yanran nodded at him, "It's very challenging."
Not only for trainees, but also for mentors.
The previous episodes were all recorded. If the dancing was not good, it could be edited, and if the singing was not good, the sound could be fixed.
But if it's live broadcast, it's what it is, and any mistakes will be seen by all the viewers, without any chance to save or make amends.
The trainees on the stage started to hold their heads and wail at the thought of how horrible it would be.
They all understand that live broadcasting can be their opportunity, but it can also be their nightmare.
The director seemed to have anticipated the trainees' reactions. He was not surprised at all. Instead, he smiled even more like an old fox.
"As idols, you will eventually face the day of live broadcasting. Not only live broadcasting, but also facing your fans directly, so this is a compulsory course for you. I hope everyone can adapt to it as soon as possible."
The trainees felt that what the director said made sense and finally calmed down a little.
However, just as they recovered, the director announced another piece of bad news.
"The first performance will be in three days, and you only have three days to practice."
Upon hearing the preparation time, the trainees in the audience, whose mentality had just recovered, collapsed again.
"What????"
“Did I hear wrong???”
"Just three days!!!"
"Is it such a big deal, my friend..."
The director listened to the wailing of the audience and asked them, "Do you think this is enough?"
After the director said this, some trainees were almost out of breath.
Is this guy going to make it more difficult for them? ? ?
"In the next three days, the program team will no longer provide vocal lessons and dance lessons for the trainees."
This news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving the trainees speechless.
It was Han Zhe who spoke for them, "If the program team doesn't provide it, what about their program?"
The director looked at Han Zhe, nodded at him, and then said, "Teacher Han Zhe asked a good question."
Lin Yanran looked at the director. After hearing this rule, she actually had a guess in her mind.
Sure enough, the director's words confirmed his guess.
"This is the meaning of our mentor battle." After saying this, the director put away his smile and officially announced to the trainees, "In this round of performances, all trainees' performances will be completed by the trainees in their teams led by the mentors. The program team will only provide auxiliary help such as makeup and stage design. The rest, including daily training and stage presentation, will be fully responsible by the mentors."
After hearing the rules, the audience fell silent.
If swearing really works, the director in the center of the stage would have performed the scene of death and rebirth countless times.
There is not a single trainee under the stage who isn't thinking "MMP" in their hearts.
The training lasted for three days, and I had to rely on the instructor's help throughout the whole process, and there was also a live broadcast at the end.
This set of rules is simply enough to drive people to death.
At the beginning, the trainees were very upset, and some even shouted that they wanted to withdraw from the competition.
However, excitement and anger were only temporary. After calming down, many people gradually understood a fact.
Since this performance depends entirely on the instructors, it means that the group with more reliable and more awesome instructors will have a greater chance of winning.
Gradually, some groups of trainees understood the meaning behind this rule and gradually felt less uncomfortable with it.
Gradually some laughter and joy returned to the scene.
But the trainees in Lin Yanran's group were feeling extremely depressed at this moment.
It's like being swallowed by the sea and not being able to grab any driftwood.
At a glance, Lin Yanran's entire team had no morale at all, as if they were a ball of dead ashes.
