Chapter 285 Some dissatisfaction with the company's arrangements
The star training camp is arranged on a farm on the outskirts of Magic City.
This place is located in a plain, with no mountains or forests, only a small hill less than 100 meters high.
A one-meter-wide canal runs around the foot of the mountain, carrying the river water all the way towards the sea.
On both sides are flat wheat fields. As the harvest season approaches, the wheat turns from green to yellow, and the gradual colors look refreshing.
Even through the screen, the audience can feel the rare coziness and comfort, not to mention the guests who are themselves in the wheat fields.
After the reform, there are only more than 20 artists left out of the more than 100 artists under Zhongxing, which can be said to be a huge loss!
In addition, after they did the drug test, they never disclosed the relevant test information. Netizens have gone from speculation at the beginning to following the trend and criticizing them. After seeing the official announcement of the variety show, many people came to the live broadcast room with an attitude of watching a joke.
[I'm here, I'm here, where is this place? The scenery is pretty good. ]
[What, are you here for the variety show? I want to see who is left among the stars! I heard that there are only about 20 left out of more than 100 people. It's so funny, it's like the house was ransacked.]
[I arrived early, and after counting for a long time, there were only 23 people left. ]
[Meng Yinge is still here, not bad, not bad. Hey, what's the name of the top star among all the stars? Chi Xianlin, right? I don't think I saw him? ]
[He must be gone! I heard that he went to Xiangtian Studio, and the boss there personally poached him.]
[Is it the Xiangtian Studio that produced the top star Si Younian? Chi Xianlin is quite discerning! But then again, the stars are kind and righteous. They terminated the contract as they were told to do, without asking for money or anything. You have never seen those companies that specialize in taking the termination fee, which can completely rip off the artists! ]
This variety show is different from previous ones, as it will have a host, program flow, and other things.
The machine was set up there, and when each guest arrived, they did not bring their own microphone. They just got down to work after receiving their tasks.
Although we assigned several cameras to shoot storyboards, they were all vegetable shots, and there was nothing good to see.
The popularity depends entirely on netizens’ comments!
Thirteen female artists and ten male artists were divided into four groups.
Each group cooperated in an orderly manner. Some people were taking measurements in the fields, some were weeding, and some were checking the condition of wheat ears. Everything was in order and looked well organized.
Soon, the camera was pointed at an old man.
Finally, a staff member took on the role of host: "Grandpa Wu, what do you think of everyone's work?"
Uncle Wu took a puff of his pipe and smacked his lips: "Not bad."
He is the owner of the farmland here. He is in his sixties, but looks like he is nearly eighty years old. He is dark and hunched.
When Uncle Wu first heard the production crew say they were going to do a reality show here, he waved his hands to refuse, fearing that these ignorant people would destroy his wheat fields.
Later, Director Tang came over and had a long conversation with Uncle Wu. He even promised to help deal with the flood season problem free of charge next year, and only then did the other party agree.
Uncle Wu is a very outgoing person.
"Xiao Ni, what is that black thing you are carrying?"
"It's a camera. Does Grandpa Wu usually watch TV?"
"Look."
"All the images on TV were taken with this kind of camera."
Uncle Wu was stunned: "Then I am on TV too?"
"Yes." Xiao Ni nodded, "Director Tang should have explained this to you when he came here earlier."
Uncle Wu smoked his pipe in a simple and honest manner: "I don't remember either... When Xiao Tang came to see me, I was always reluctant to leave. I was afraid that you kids would know nothing and trample the wheat fields!"
[Hahaha, uncle is so cute. He is not afraid of exposing the artist's shortcomings and speaks out all his concerns. ]
[Some reality shows are like this, they only care about creating hype and don't care about other people's lives. Last time I watched a reality show about going to the countryside, wow, those artists didn't even ask to go to the countryside to help, one moment they pulled up rice seedlings as if they were weeds, the next moment they cleaned up and ate the poultry that the farmers had raised for several years... It was quite speechless.]
[Yeah, there are always people who say things like "the program crew gave them money", I'm convinced! Looking at the pain and forbearance in the eyes of my fellow villagers, it doesn't look like they have communicated with each other, right? ]
[This training camp variety show by all the stars is pretty good. At least it looks pretty good now. 】
Suddenly, someone said, "Yan Yueqing is here!"
The barrage suddenly became lively:
[Why is Yan Yueqing here? Did she terminate her contract? This is what I am most curious about.]
[I heard that the contract was terminated, but didn’t the boss of Zhongxing make a public statement last time? Regardless of whether Yan Yueqing terminated the contract or not, Yan Yueqing is the only spokesperson for the company! ]
[At least she didn't suck, which is what I feel most relieved about! ]
[It’s hard to say, after all, the situation has not been made public yet! I don’t know whether the more than 80 people who terminated their contracts wanted to stay in Zhongxing or were sent to prison? There is still no explanation?! ]
[Stop slandering them! Give the stars a little more time. They might be cooperating with the police in the investigation! You keep pushing them, and the criminals are getting nervous! ]
"Hello, Teacher Yan." Xiao Ni came forward, "You are our special guest this time!"
Special guest?
Yan Yueqing smiled and didn't intend to make any special arrangements: "It's okay, I'll just do what everyone else does. I may not do it very well, but I hope everyone will be more tolerant."
The humble and polite attitude made everyone feel harmonious.
Li Manman took the initiative to come over and handed over a sickle: "Come with me to weed the fields."
"Okay." Yan Yueqing took it happily.
[I still remember that Li Manman and Yan Yueqing didn’t get along well in the cute baby reality show. Now their relationship seems to be better? ]
[It's probably because of the character setting that was established at the beginning of the show. After all, the two of them are from the same company. After going through so much, Li Manman did not terminate her contract and stayed with Zhongxing. Naturally, she has to have a good relationship with spokesperson Yan Yueqing! This is a real thigh. ]
Today's artists are all dressed very simply, with the standard long-sleeved white shirt and jeans.
The wheat awns are prickly, and the edges of the leaves are like sickles that cut your hands. If you are not careful, you will get cut.
Fortunately, it has not turned completely yellow yet, and we will have to wait until the day when the wheat is ripe for harvest.
However, since everyone chose to stay in Zhongxing and knew that there would be such an anniversary celebration, they were all mentally prepared and after coming here, they buried their heads in work without any complaints or nonsense.
"Yesterday afternoon, the company called everyone together for a meeting. They introduced the remaining artists to each other and then talked about resource allocation. Interestingly, they did not allocate resources according to everyone's qualifications and historical performance. They only said that there will be many good scripts this year and everyone has the conditions to compete."
As Li Manman was pulling out weeds, she was half communicating and half complaining with Yan Yueqing about these things: "This move is definitely not bad for newcomers, but for us old-timers, it's a bit disheartening... We have the same resources and have been working hard in the industry for a long time. Why should we choose together with the newcomers? Shouldn't we choose the rest and leave it to them?"
Yan Yueqing thought for a moment and said, "It's just this year, not every year. It's already August, and the New Year is only three or four months away. There will be other changes after the New Year."
Li Manman was waiting for her to say this: "Well, I feel relieved! By the way, do you know Chi Xianlin?"
"I know. Didn't he go to Xiangtian Studio?"
