It started with a group photo.
It was impossible for seven people to stand in a row. Anne thought about it and decided to divide them into two rows, with the three people sitting in the front and the four people standing on both sides at the back, forming a semicircle.
"Lin Xuan'er, Tang Yue, and Chu Tianjiao stand in the front." Although Annie loved Su Yin deeply, she still gave the front row to the top three trainees who supported her.
"Who stands in the middle?" Shi Feifei suddenly asked.
"Tang Yue, wasn't she number one in support last episode?" Annie glanced at Shi Feifei and said, "Don't interrupt me."
Shi Feifei's face turned red and she didn't dare to speak.
Maybe Annie was annoyed with her, but she placed Shi Feifei at the very edge. Actually, Shi Feifei was overthinking it; Annie really didn't take her seriously. She simply thought Shi Feifei was the least suitable for this look, and that she should be placed at the edge to minimize distraction.
"You can smile at the camera, or be indifferent, whatever you want."
During the first shoot, Annie walked behind the cameraman and shook her head: "Are you taking graduation photos? You're smiling so stupidly. Do you want me to help you shout eggplant?"
During the second take, Annie shook her head again: "I'm not smiling this time, which is great. But I'm talking about indifference, not Sima face! Can your eyes speak for themselves?"
"Chu Tianjiao, Xiaolei, Shi Feifei, come out and see how the four people in Bai Yueguang shoot. After I taught them a few times, they have made obvious progress. You should learn from them!"
Bai Yueguang's four friends didn't dare to be complacent. If it weren't for the secret book Zhou Yiyang had given them in advance, they probably wouldn't be in such a good situation.
It’s so difficult to take a high-end photo for a magazine cover.
Even if they have read the secret manual, they are actually still figuring it out on their own.
Fortunately, Annie didn't have high expectations of them and she wasn't a famous actress. In the end, the seven of them could bear to watch it and called out.
"Next are the individual photos. After that, you'll be relaxed. The only thing left is a scripted interview." Jia Ren isn't one of those low-brow magazines that relies on interviews and revealing material to attract attention. Therefore, their interviews are all pre-arranged with the production team, asking simple questions that are neither too noisy nor too complicated.
When it came to the individual covers, Annie changed everyone's style and makeup.
Wang Xingrui was asked to change into sportswear, which was something she had not expected. She thought Annie would show her a stuffed animal to act cute.
Annie seemed to have guessed her thoughts and explained, "The cute style you understand belongs to the girl magazines that little girls love the most. The youthful and energetic lolita is more popular."
As it turned out, Annie's idea was right, and Wang Xingrui's new look looked very good after being photographed.
When people see it, they think of the vibrant summer.
Lin Xuan'er was assigned a futuristic, sci-fi style, though she herself was somewhat unable to appreciate the finished product. However, Annie was very satisfied. Fashion is something one should always be bold in experimenting with.
Tang Yue still has the style of a queen. With bright red lips and holding a high-heeled glass, she looks like a noble lady walking out of an oil painting.
When they got to Suyin, Annie changed her into a long, floral dress. She made Suyin sit on the ground and gave her a plastic butterfly prop. She asked Suyin to open her mouth so that the butterfly would fit right in her mouth.
The final product was quite stunning. If Su Yin wasn't famous enough, Annie would have wanted to use her picture as the cover of the next issue.
By the time they finished the interview, it was already evening. None of the trainees had expected that just shooting a cover would take them a whole day.
However, everyone is still looking forward to the response the new issue of "Beauty" will bring after it is released.
"Brother Yang sent us another video." Lin Xuan'er was the first to see the video in the group.
"It looks like choreography," Wang Xingrui took a quick look, "I'm sure it'll be useful when we get together."
"You two are really thinking too far ahead!" Tang Yue typed in the group chat: "The performance is tomorrow, and we've wasted a whole day! I heard that other groups didn't rest today and are all rehearsing!"
Su Yin couldn't help but get nervous. She wasn't worried about being eliminated in the second round of qualifying, but she didn't want to embarrass herself on the performance, and she didn't want her chosen teammates to lose popularity because of her.
This time each of them has to fight not only for themselves, but also for their teammates.
Zhou Yiyang and Hu Die agreed to meet at the door of the bar, and then took a car to the venue of the 101 performance.
It was an arts center in the suburbs, and since there were few people going there for performances on weekdays, the rent for the venue was very cheap, which was why the program team chose this place.
After arriving, Zhou Yiyang felt how terrifying Bai Yueguang's popularity was.
Now they have no way to enter and can only stand outside the art center.
Looking around, the surroundings were filled with support banners and posters for these trainees, and the four members of Bai Yueguang appeared most frequently.
When Zhou Yiyang, the boss who frequently appeared on trending searches, appeared, it also caused a brief sensation. Everyone ran to Zhou Yiyang's side, as if they had seen a big star.
"Mr. Zhou, you came to see the performance too!"
"Bai Yueguang is so lucky! The boss is coming to the performance in person. Our boss definitely won't come!"
"Mr. Zhou is so young and handsome. Mr. Zhou, do you have a partner?"
Zhou Yiyang quickly left the crowd to prevent the scene from turning into a blind date event.
Finally, Hu Die found a quiet corner and sat down.
Then the aroma of grilled sausages wafted over, and Zhou Yiyang and Hu Die both swallowed their saliva at the same time.
"I didn't expect they were selling food." Zhou Yiyang and Hu Die walked towards the direction of the fragrance at the same time. However, they didn't expect that the sausage stall was actually built by fans.
"One ticket per person, get a free sausage! And a small gift too!"
Zhou Yiyang walked over and laughed out loud after seeing the small gift.
It turned out to be a keychain with Su Yin's name printed on it.
"Are you fans of Su Yin?" Zhou Yiyang couldn't help but like the ideas of these fans.
"Yes," the stall owner looked up and saw Zhou Yiyang's face and was excited: "Wow, you are Mr. Zhou! I am a fan of Bai Yueguang, but I like Su Yin the most!"
Zhou Yiyang nodded, thinking that this fan was similar to Su Yin, both liked to be associated with food.
Other fans were not to be outdone, offering water, free manicures, and massages. The only requirement was to give you a small gift from your idol.
Their reason for doing this is very simple. After receiving the gift, they will have a preconceived good impression of this trainee, and then when the time comes for the performance, they may vote for her.
However, after a rough observation, Zhou Yiyang found that most of those who could do this were fans of the top-ranked trainees.
It’s hard to say whether it will have an impact on the performance voting, but it shouldn’t be a problem for their way of cheering to become a hot topic.
The 71 trainees on the other side of the wall were not having an easy time as they were conducting their final rehearsal.
