27 Cultural Courses
Many people are curious about how Yuan Xiao's brain works. Can talent really play such a big role? Since Yuan Xin formed a boy band, the series of actions such as selecting trainees, recording variety shows, and opening peripheral groups have almost complemented and promoted each other. None of them were wrong decisions or dragged down the team.
And this voice within Yuanxin is even louder than that from the outside world.
Only the staff in the project team know the role Yuan Xiao played in the entire project. What the outside world sees is just the tip of the iceberg.
From the editing of the main content of the variety show to the styling of the trainees when they appear on camera, she participates in every decision-making, and her ideas in every area can convince the staff.
If she doesn't withdraw from the competition, who else can? It would be a loss for the entire domestic entertainment industry if Yuan Xiao doesn't do behind-the-scenes work, okay?
According to Yuan Xiao's suggestions for script adjustments, the second episode of "Idol·Unnamed" approached the show from an unexpected angle.
-
The pilot and the first main episode have already aired the entire theme song practice and recording. Last week’s trailer also announced that this episode will broadcast one public stage, which will still be in the format of daily life in the first half and stage and commentary in the second half.
Different from the chaotic morning in the first episode, the opening shot of the second episode was an empty practice room on the 14th floor, an empty gym, and even the creative studio and recording studio were empty.
Where are all the children?
The flowery words were typed on the screen. It was still the end of June. After dinner at six in the evening, the trainees finished their day’s training and had to go to the company’s classroom to take extra classes.
In order to record the variety show, the company requested leave for all the trainees who were still in high school, but they still couldn't fall behind in their academic studies.
Su Chen had finished his art exams in June this year and luckily escaped the disaster. The rest of Yu Le, Jiang Tong and the others are still in their first and second years of high school. They have to prepare for performances and the school's final exams at the same time, which is much harder.
However, although the trainees who have finished high school have a little more ease, they cannot move freely. Chinese and English classes are required for all members, regardless of whether they are targeting creative projects or not.
Yuan Xin is really raising her child seriously and seriously.
Yuan Xiao is committed to ensuring that all the criticized points of idol groups she has seen before are not replicated in her group. She always pays close attention to matters that are considered trivial matters in other entertainment companies and program crews.
Originally, no one in the staff understood why trainees who had already passed the college entrance examination and entered university also had to attend classes. The trainees' time is precious, and they will not be criticized for their academic qualifications. They might as well use this time to practice dancing.
Only Gu Yuchen firmly supported Yuan Xiao's decision. He helped him contact his college teachers and even hired a foreign teacher for his spoken English.
Although Yuan Xiao felt that he just wanted to make it more convenient for him to teach creation.
"If being misunderstood is the fate of the expresser, then an expression with a solid foundation will at least not deepen this misunderstanding." The program inserted a post-interview with Yuan Xiao here, "Whether it is an actor, singer, or idol, they are essentially creators and outputs. Without input, how can there be output?"
There are more realistic reasons that she didn't mention. Given the national conditions, people will have a filter for those who are more knowledgeable, and then look down on those who have missed the nine-year compulsory education. Read more, especially good books, so that you can have something to say in interviews and creations. Yuan Xiao doesn't want these children to become empty-headed singing and dancing machines.
Yuan Xiao hopes that they are all wise and thoughtful. The relationship between them is that of producer and artist, but they are also partners and like-minded people who can go on together hand in hand.
Maybe some companies will deliberately train their artists to be social novices who know nothing except their profession, in exchange for trust, contract renewal and more rights for the company to arrange the future of the artists, but that is not what Yuanxin wants to do.
So now we are divided into two classrooms. One classroom is where I study painful high school math, while the other classroom is where I write my movie reviews quietly.
Yes, it is not pure reading, there are some homework with Chinese characteristics, such as extracurricular required reading and reading notes, etc.——
It's not much, a book is only one or two hundred words, it doesn't take long to finish, and there will be a lot of space left for them to read freely, but everyone must write, this is purely Yuan Xiao's little bit of bad taste.
The specially decorated classroom was filled with bookshelves along the wall. There were newly purchased complete sets of classics, as well as collections donated by Yuan Xiao, Gu Yuchen and other teachers. From science fiction to classical Chinese, from thick black studies to the art of speaking, everything was available. There were cushions and lazy sofas on the floor, and the trainees sat or lay down, which was a rare rest time during the day.
The original intention is not to allow trainees to always hold their phones and watch short videos. A staff sister will come over to remind them when they see it, but books can be borrowed and read at any time and anywhere.
The camera moved around the reading room, and large, flowery words appeared in the video:
Where did Pei Zijin go?
As if predicting what the barrage was saying at the moment, the camera cut to Pei Zijin's following perspective. He did not go to the reading room, but pushed open the door of the next classroom.
As soon as the door opened, all the little kids in the room raised their heads in unison, their eyes shining with hope, as if they saw their savior coming.
Pei Zijin had a line of words thoughtfully marked on his head: A college student from a 985 university in the capital (junior year internship version).
Time goes back a little bit, and the flashback scene switches to Pei Zijin being called to Yuan Xiao's office a few days ago. He knocked on the door nervously before pushing it open. When he walked in, he saw Yuan Xiao working hard behind the large desk, his sleeves rolled up to his forearms, and snow-white A4 paper documents covering the entire desk.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, are you looking for me?"
"Xiao Pei is here." Yuan Xiao nodded at him, "Sit down, don't be nervous. I asked you to come here for a part-time job and asked if you were interested."
Pei Zijin: “?”
What part-time job?
The trainees' schedules were very tight. Even though he was a junior now, there weren't that many courses in their major for juniors, so it was relatively easier than for other trainees. The little free time he had was used to improve his weak dance foundation.
After a few months, he was no longer the college student who only wanted to finish his internship report. He had followed the rules from a key primary school to a key high school and then to a 985 university. His life was originally just ordinary. But since being selected by Yuan Xiao to come to the company, Pei Zijin had never immersed himself in music for such a long time without any distractions, just like a mouse falling into a rice jar.
Now he would never want to go back to his past life.
Yuan Xiao didn't directly tell him what to do, but asked about Pei Zijin's information: "I remember that you wrote on your resume that your college entrance examination score was 642, your major ranked in the top 15%, and you passed the CET-4 and CET-6?"
This is already a score that can be used directly to market one's academic genius persona in the entertainment industry, and it is only a dozen points lower than Yuan Xiao's score back then.
Of course, in her original world, once she gained enough popularity, she still had to go back to school to complete her credits.
"Yeah." Pei Zijin nodded blankly, not knowing why Yuan Xiao suddenly asked this.
Pei Zijin didn't think his grades were that good. In school, all his classmates were at the same level. After coming to the company, the trainee's job was not based on grades.
He seems to be the school hunk?
"I'd like to ask you to be a teacher for my younger brothers." Yuan Xiao took out another contract very meticulously. The terms and conditions on it were basically in line with the conditions and prices that educational institutions offer to college students as tutors.
"I'm responsible for checking their homework and answering their questions. As you know, Yu Le, Jiang Tong and others are very important right now, and the time for recording variety shows is tight. The cultural teachers can't stay in the company 24 hours a day, so I want to ask you to add 2,000 yuan in labor service to your basic salary every month as compensation."
Although Jiang Tong and Yu Le both have good grades, especially Jiang Tong, they are not yet at the level of geniuses who have photographic memory. If they want to get better grades, they also need to work hard on practicing questions.
"Of course, this depends on your wishes. If you plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination in the future, it will not delay your review." Yuan Xiao was very thoughtful.
This passage contained so much information that the comments that passed by were shocked again after being shocked by Pei Zijin's academic qualifications. The entire screen was filled with posts asking if Yuanxin was still hiring.
Among the twenty-five people, most of them are from art schools, and the requirements for academic subjects are not high. People like Yan Fan were admitted to Beijing Sport University without recommendation, and they don't even have the experience of college entrance examination. Pei Zijin is indeed the first and only candidate.
"I'm not considering taking the postgraduate entrance examination... After all, according to my career plan, I have to take a cross-examination, and I don't have much confidence. Maybe I will study as a part-time graduate student when I have time in the future." Pei Zijin was also shocked, but he quickly reacted. He has already become an adult and has an understanding of his career plan.
"I know. I promise you, but you don't have to give me this." Pei Zijin smiled helplessly. "The younger ones always ask us for homework. I am a few years older, so it is my duty to help the younger brothers. I will watch them do their homework well in the future."
"Let's put it this way." Yuan Xiao insisted, "You two are in a relationship, and this is just to help me."
"Okay." Pei Zijin didn't act pretentiously. Seeing Yuan Xiao's insistence, he signed the contract neatly.
Yuan Xiao put away the documents and said, "The money will be transferred to your card after the service."
After this scene ended, the audience suddenly realized why those trainees had such expressions when they saw Pei Zijin passing by.
It turned out that the God who saved their homework had come.
-
This plot is not a purposeless diary. Yes, in fact, since the first episode, Yuan Xiao has been consciously building the personalities of the trainees.
This personality is different from the false personality created by celebrities in the entertainment industry. In more professional terms, it is called the first reaction brand in marketing.
What Yuan Xiao actually needs to do is to discover the shining points of the trainees, and then link the portrayal and expression of these shining points with the public's existing cognition, so as to achieve the purpose of allowing the audience to quickly remember everyone, leaving a deep impression on people, and also provide direction for the subsequent promotion of cut editing on short video platforms.
Before you can form a stereotype, you first have to let the audience have an impression of you, right?
