7 Trainees Gathering
The main topic of discussion at Monday's meeting was still the formation of the entire team. Yuan Xiao was very pleased that she did not need to worry too much about this, and everything was developing in an orderly manner.
After the meeting, the election management department handed over a one-week training plan for the trainees. Yuan Xiao did not immediately respond to whether they could go or not. He just asked them to do other things first and then took the entire schedule back to his office.
"Brother Liu, do me a favor." Yuan Xiao used his mobile phone to send a voice message to Assistant Liu, "Do you know any producers, dance troupes, and acting teachers in the company who are available to teach now?"
"Send me a list."
The most important thing right now is naturally the idols' main job. These trainees were recruited by Yuan Xiao from all over the world, and their levels are currently different. I'm afraid they can't even do a complete group dance. Vocal courses and dance courses naturally account for the majority of the courses arranged by the selection team. Yuan Xiao agrees with them on this point and there is nothing to change.
What she wanted to add were some courses that seemed unimportant and might not be used even after her debut, but Yuan Xiao felt that these were essential for a qualified literary and artistic worker.
She plans to invite professional posture teachers to give lessons. For these young boys, their walking, sitting and lying postures will have to be corrected. In front of the camera, many posture problems will be magnified, and ugly walking will be mentioned. Hunchback is a big taboo.
Acting courses cannot be neglected either. There is no requirement for them to become superb actors in a short period of time, but at least they need to get used to the camera. When they are about to debut, they will need to have some basic knowledge when recording various variety shows and shooting music videos.
As for the arrangement and musical instruments, Yuan Xiao also gritted his teeth and added them in. It is not easy to leave an impression on fans these days, and it is always good to have one more talent. This is an elective course, and trainees can choose what they are interested in, but they are not forced to know everything.
For selfie techniques, expression management, graphic design, and interpersonal relationships, it would be best to ask already debuted artists to impart their experience. These can be learned slowly over time, so there is no need to rush.
As for those younger trainees who have not taken the college entrance examination, they cannot relax in their academic studies. Academic qualifications have always been a hot topic that the major discussion groups of domestic entertainment fans will never let go. If the academic subjects are not good enough and the college entrance examination is not smooth, the idol career will easily attract prejudice and it will be even more difficult to reverse.
There is nothing else to say. According to Yuan Xiao's expensive training method, even if it's only three months, it will be enough for those young people who want to enter the entertainment industry to benefit greatly.
Yuan Xiao thought about it, and finally decided to question the selection of the most important vocal and dance teachers, and called the person in charge of the election management department.
"After the trainees report, we will first organize them to do fitness and exercise together, such as long-distance running and stretching. There is no need to rush to practice dancing or singing. I will think about the selection of teachers later."

On Friday morning, when Yu Le stood in front of the gate of Yuanxin Entertainment, he looked at the neat and clean front desk and felt a little nervous.
Today was his second time coming here, but it was his first time coming alone. During the last interview, his parents insisted that he come with them, and this time he had to come and see them off. He had to persuade his parents to stay at home. He was already sixteen years old! How could he ask his parents for everything?
He glanced at his cell phone. There was still more than half an hour before they were notified of the class time. On the first day, he came early.
The lady at the front desk greeted him with a smile and said, "You are a new trainee, right? Please go to the 14th floor to report in. Here is your ID card. If you don't stay overnight, you will need to swipe your ID card to enter the company every morning."
This was the first time in Yu Le's life that he had his own work badge. For a high school student like him, the moment he got the badge with his high-definition front photo printed on it, he actually felt a bit excited, as if he was working and earning money for the first time in his life.
While he was looking at his ID card, the receptionist turned her head to look behind him. She heard footsteps approaching, and Yu Le subconsciously raised his eyes. Under the brim of his baseball cap, a strand of flying hair flashed into his sight.
The lady at the front desk's eyes visibly lit up.
This is Yuanxin Entertainment. The staff here watch celebrities as if it were commonplace. What can move Yuanxin's staff is——
But Yan Fan's sour face successfully blocked the receptionist and Yu Le's attempts to get close to him.
This person was not angry at anyone, he just always had a bad temper when he woke up. When he thought about having to get up early every morning to catch the subway to go to class for several months in the future, he wanted to travel back to a few days ago and strangle himself to death on the spot for agreeing to let Yuan Xiao give it a try.
I have to say that this young agent of Yuanxin Entertainment is very good at speaking. She appeals to people’s emotions and reason, and somehow they get on board with her.
Although Yan Fan was filled with resentment, he knew what was right and wrong, so he arrived early and had a positive attitude.
Yuan Xiaoneng asked him out for the second time and talked to him about the facts and pros and cons with him in a very sincere manner. Yan Fan was not the kind of person who could not tell good from bad. In the end, he agreed to give it a try. On the one hand, it was because what Yuan Xiao said made sense. He had always wanted to be a dancer, but there was more than one way to the top. It would be nice to try the one that brought him both fame and fortune and was surrounded by beauties. He didn't choose one and give up the other. He still participated in the competition and practiced dancing.
On the other hand, when Yuan Xiao talked about the plans she had made for the upcoming idol group, Yan Fan saw a kind of strength in Yuan Xiao, a strength he had only seen in the retired sports teacher who had inspired him before: she truly loved her career and wanted to do it well.
If this is the case, Yan Fan thought, maybe he can really trust Yuan Xiao. Maybe, one day he can really become the person that Yuan Xiao said, the one who shines so brightly that everyone knows him.
The elevator went up to the 14th floor and the door of the car opened, revealing a brand new corridor. At a glance, one could see a large, shiny practice room and a gymnasium filled with equipment. At the end there were a few closed rooms whose uses were unknown. Quite a few people had arrived by now, all young boys around 16 or 17 years old, sitting in groups of two or three on the entire floor chatting and laughing.
Yan Fan heard Yu Le behind him let out a muffled scream of excitement like a kitten rolling out of his throat.
What these new trainees don't know is that this floor was not in its current state before Yuan Xiao took over. It has undergone emergency renovations for half a month, and the fresh air system was running at full power yesterday to dissipate the odor.
Fortunately, Brother Liu said that this part of the account can be counted as the company's public account. After all, practice rooms and the like are normal expenses, and she doesn't have to use her tight project funds. This prevented Yuan Xiao from crying out loud.
Yu Le Yanfan thought she had arrived early, but when she went upstairs, she saw at a glance that there were more than a dozen people, each one more energetic than the other. After her initial curiosity and excitement subsided, the tension of the selection spread all at once.
"There are so many people..." Yu Le murmured.
During the interview that day, he saw how the other trainees in the same group showed off their talents. In comparison, he, a student from an ordinary high school, pales in comparison even though his parents sent him to learn street dance and musical instruments for a few years. It was a pleasant surprise that he could pass the interview.
Seeing so many people at this moment, some have already tried the treadmill, and some have started stretching their legs. No matter how mature Yu Le looked, he was only sixteen years old, and his steps hesitated for a moment.
"My name is Yan Fan, what's your name?" The tall and handsome brother in front of him suddenly turned around, still with a sour face, but his tone was unexpectedly gentle.
"Yu...Yu Le!" Yu Le's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the person in front of him. He was startled and stood at attention instinctively, which made Yan Fan laugh.
This smile was like a thawing spring breeze, and Yu Le was stunned. Even if they might be competitors in the future, Yu Le had to admit that it was really difficult to feel hostile towards such a face.
Yan Fan also felt that the first boy he met when he entered the company was very pleasing to the eye. The pupils in his eyes were a little bigger than those of other boys, like a little deer. He looked particularly bright and lively, and his smile was very sweet, which made people feel very close to him when they met him.
He guessed by accident the reason why Yu Le was chosen by Yuan Xiao, which was that she looked so likable and of course had a good voice too.
Originally, Yuan Xiao had not planned to choose someone so young. According to her original plan, the members of the group should have been adults by the time of their official debut after about a year of training. After all, no matter which world it is, it is always inconvenient for minors to work in the entertainment industry. But she really couldn't bear to give up such a good idol seedling.
Yu Le is still young. He hasn't had his birthday yet and can only be considered sixteen years old. He is not as tall as his brothers and is only 1.75 meters tall.
So Yan Fan immediately put his arm around Yu Le's shoulders, at just the right height, and smiled as he led him inside. "Come on, don't just stand here. Don't be afraid. We have a destiny at first sight. I'll protect you from now on."
Before he took a step, he heard a puff of laughter next to him. Yan Fan raised his eyebrows and turned around, and saw a young man with gentle features waving his hands in panic, "Sorry, sorry, I'm not laughing at you."
He raised the screen of his phone, revealing the video that was playing. Pei Zijin raised his hand to hook the earphones from his ears and suppressed his laughter, "Of course, you two are also very cute."
What Yan Fan hates most in her life is being called cute.
He raised his eyes and nodded politely to Pei Zijin. He was not in the mood to say more to the man in front of him like Yu Le. He just pulled Yu Le away, who was about to say something, leaving Pei Zijin a little confused. He was still lazily leaning against the vase with his long legs crossed. He could only hear the two people whispering to each other from a distance. It seemed that they were talking in secret.
Pei Zijin couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
It was only after he arrived that he realized that he seemed to be the oldest among this group of trainees.
I don't know if he has gotten old, but he participated in the training with the idea of coming to work and completing an internship report. He was really out of tune with the young and passionate trainees he saw after arriving. However, there is no need to force himself to fit in just because we are in different circles. He can just finish the three months as soon as possible and get the stamp. The next time we meet, it may be through a screen.
