Chapter 117
The performance of the third public performance, which was disrupted, was like being strangled by the neck. The excitement was suddenly reduced.
The popular members were assigned to tow the plane. For the overall coordination of the dance, the tall members such as Pei Zhiping had to squat more. In order to let other trainees seize the last chance, their own parts became less.
After the end of the third public performance, the audience felt the wall more clearly. Why are the popular trainees popular, and why can't the last ones come up? There are reasons for all this.
"Isn't it enough to help the poor that Pei Zhiping only had a 26-second part in his 4.5-minute performance?"
"...What will make you Back. fans satisfied? Why are you getting ahead of yourself?"
"Hate on the rich has come to a talent show?"
"Just passers-by... It seems even more wrong not to give them shots when they are so popular."
"It really makes me so angry. Haven't you ever thought about why they are so popular? Because the program team only edited out their highlights and only broadcasted them. How many of the other trainees do you know? You are just barking at them?"
"The most high-end vote-rigging game in history, Awesome."
The trainees' stage should have been the focus of attention, but after the end of the third public performance, the controversy about vote-rigging was brought to the surface, and the level of excitement on the hot searches was enough to show how popular this program is.
Twenty percent of people clamored that random entertainment was involved in vote-rigging, and the remaining 80% felt that those people were being unreasonable. It's still the same reason, they are all trainees who came here for popularity, why would giving them more shots be considered vote-rigging?
"Title: Eat melons and discuss / I don't understand why people say SJY is rigging votes, come in and read the plain words!"
"Let's assume from the beginning, if it was Shi Yusheng who was put on the Rookie's Diary as a warm-up, and Pei Zhiping was cut out, then would she still be so popular after she was on the show?"
"If Shi Yusheng was promoted as the main trainee of the show, from her daily habits to her hobbies, would Han Lemi still be the top of the public recommendation?" "If
the middle-ranked people were treated as the focus, would Xia Simiao, Pei Zhiping, Ji Wensu and the other six still be popular?"
"The reason why they are popular members is because the title of the show was distorted from the beginning!" "This is
the most high-end poll-rigging show in the history of the talent show industry. It is high-end because they do not adjust the data, but only adjust the weight of the program, because they know that modern people just follow the trend, and they like whoever has the most weight in the program." "How can this not be considered as poll-rigging?" Comment area: "...I feel influenced by your bullying remarks." "It seems to be so." "It is not counted like that. The reason why Pei Zhiping is a popular trainee is because she is unique enough in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry. Not only is she beautiful, but her appearance is also unique. Just tell me, among the dozens of people, besides Xia Simiao, who else is more memorable than Pei Zhiping? In addition to being beautiful, she is also the first in strength. She is at the forefront in singing, dancing, rapping and writing lyrics. How can such an excellent person be regarded as blind by you?" "Shi Yusheng got into trouble unexpectedly, and you used it to drag down others [speechless]..." "The royal family refers to people who are hopeless, people who have invested so much resources but made a splash like a diving champion, not the four little girls who made random entertainment trend after just three minutes of appearing on a variety show. Didn't they get pissed off?" "Come on, the only people who were in the spotlight in Rookie Diary were the first seven people. How come Xia Simiao didn't outperform Pei Zhiping in the performance of the same song? Is it because she doesn't want to? Is it difficult for you to admit that the four of them are just popular?" "I understand what you mean... but this program is at most a screening. The shots in the early programs were quite even. It's understandable that the trainees who are slightly popular have more shots, because many people come for them. The screening will come out after the first public performance. The more popular they are, the more shots they get. I actually don't think it's a big deal. Compared with strength and appearance, audience appeal is more important. Those at the end don't have audience appeal. The program crew can't just bite the bullet and add people that the audience doesn't want to watch to the main program." "Some people in the above floor really don't know what pain is unless it hurts you." "I think this is much better than playing with data. At least the ones screened out are those that the audience likes. If someone suddenly pops up at the end, I'll be really sick." "So other trainees have to be NPCs? Are they just extras so that they can debut?" "Some people in here really love to put themselves in other people's shoes. Stop bringing in the perspective of those last-place trainees. As a spectator, can't I choose the version of myself that I like? I'd love it even if it's a custom version." Thousands of reviews were put up in two hours. The controversy about vote-rigging went straight to Jiang Juyu. In the staircase conference room, all the staff from the "Youth Throbbing 21 Times" program team and A2 team were seated. Jiang Juyu, who was standing in front, was wearing a coat. According to her habit, she would take off her coat as soon as she entered the company, but she was still wearing this thick coat, which was enough to show how hurried she was. All the people involved in the dispute were present, except Yang Siyu. She is still abroad, busy meeting with the producer, and has no time to rush back. "...So you mean that the general direction of the program is controlled by PD Yang?" After getting the answer from the staff, Jiang Juyu was silent for a long time. The scene was empty for about two minutes. No one dared to speak just watching Jiang Juyu lower her head in thought. The atmosphere in the company today was the same as outside, with thunder and rain, dark clouds, and so high humidity that it was hard to breathe. Jiang Juyu closed her mouth and was silent for a while. This "while" was much longer than before, and her expression became complicated. She seemed to have a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but she swallowed them all back. "Hmm..." She let out a long breath, her eyes still searching the ground, and finally raised her head to look at the employees and said, "PD Yang may be busy abroad for some time, so I will take over the program and A2 group next time." It was as if there were many things fighting in her mind. Jiang Juyou had to choose in her mind for a long time every time she opened her mouth to speak, "...How are they preparing for the final performance stage?" She asked the people in the program group. "Just like you before, they prepared a month in advance. The stage preparations have been completed. Recently, there are several domestic tours." Jiang Juyou nodded after listening. She knew all this, but now Jiang Juyou was a little flustered and didn't know what to do. She squeezed her eyes hard a few times, trying to get her thoughts back on track. After another long sigh, Jiang Juyou finally calmed down, "Okay, everything will be the same as before." She thought for a while and added, "Make an appointment with the makeup studios in Korea and invite them to come for the finale."
"Okay."
Hearing the word "okay", Jiang Juyu's heart sank again, and the fact that Yang Siyu had tampered with the show was confirmed.
Seeing that Jiang Juyu was about to leave, the little assistant quickly pulled up the suitcase and followed.
Originally, there was a business trip schedule for today, but on the way to the airport, Jiang Juyu saw the hot search terms, so she turned around and went back.
She followed Jiang Juyu with the luggage. The person in front of her didn't tie the belt of his coat, and when he walked with big strides, the hem of his coat could even sweep the suitcase. She needed to jog with the suitcase to keep up with Jiang Juyu's pace. After being in the
company for so long, this was the most angry time she saw Jiang Juyu, and it was even more serious than the last illegitimate incident.
Thunder roared outside, and raindrops hit the glass like falling stones. The rain curtain gave the glass a layer of frosted film, so that the outside world could not be seen. The vision was limited, and the feeling of suffocation became more obvious. The
assistant returned to his workstation and looked at the closed office door, and his mood became bad.
"Make a ticket, what ticket?"
"You ask the notary team to check and see if there is any problem with the data. I am innocent and will never do such a thing!"
Producer Yang returned from his overseas trip. The first thing he did after returning was to be called to Jiang's office. The assistant sat at the door and could hear a few words of argument from time to time.
She let out a long sigh, "…Why do you always cause trouble for the boss?"
Seeing that the boss was in a bad mood, she couldn't eat either.
Today's weather was just like the day when the third public performance was on the hot search. It was cloudy and raining outside. The difference was that a week had passed.
The blinds in the office were pulled down, blocking the view outside the building. Jiang Juyu and Yang Siyu sat on the sofa, both of them looked unhappy.
"Then tell me, do you have any selfish motives in this show?" Jiang Juyu looked into her eyes when he asked, hoping to get the answer she wanted.
Yang Siyu's eyes became more determined, "No." She said in a low voice.
Jiang Juyu took a deep breath and brought up the points of doubt on the Internet and asked her, "How come Pei Zhiping, Han Lemi, Si Yanyu and Yu Dan are the only Korean makeup artists?"
"Do you believe what you see on the Internet?" Yang Siyu's eyes were slightly red.
"I believe you."
She snorted and laughed. "The fact is that before the show started filming, we found teachers from home and abroad to try out makeup. Each teacher is responsible for a fixed person, a makeup teacher and an assistant. Pei Zhiping and the others are suitable for Korean makeup, so the makeup teacher is Korean. It's that simple!"
Jiang Juyou asked her, "Do you have any video data?"
Yang Siyu swore, "Yes."
Jiang Juyou nodded on the opposite side, lowered her eyes and sorted out her emotions, "Okay."
Her indifferent attitude made Yang Siyu understand, "...You still don't believe it."
"I believe it, I believe it... You must have looked for their shining points from many angles. There are your notes in Group A2. You wrote two thick books. The interns' situations are so detailed that they even have information about their families. Even I can't do this."
Jiang Juyou frowned and changed the subject, "But you should never influence the public's thoughts, and you shouldn't give up those children who were not chosen."
When she said this, her eyes were already wet.
Jiang Juyou looked at Yang Siyu, and many emotions flashed in her eyes. She wanted to ask too many questions. When they first entered the company, their ideas and principles were very consistent. Why did they suddenly change?
"You and I are both in this circle, and we both know what program editing means. You focus the program only on those few people, whether they are praised or scolded, their topics and attention must be higher than others. Then what about the marginalized children over there? They deserve not to be noticed that month."
"Yes! The weight of your first few programs was very evenly distributed, and every child was taken care of, but can you just focus on them later?"
"Yang Siyu, you are manipulating the outcome."
Yang Siyu's brows were slightly wrinkled. She knew that Jiang Juyu had made up her mind, so no matter what she said, there would be no second conclusion.
She looked at Jiang Jueyou and nodded a few times, then sneered, "Aren't you trying to manipulate the results?"
"The result of your failure is that Sang Mo was buried in the first season and was directly squeezed out of the debut competition. If he is allowed to grow and become as popular as Ye Xing and Pei Luming, I guess you will have to consider your choice, and the one
you choose in the final show will not be Chi Qiao, but Sang Mo." "There are many such examples, so many popular trainees have been eliminated." If you are eliminated, do you really follow the audience's choice? The popularity you chose Chi Qiao and Yao Shuo is not because of how good they are - but because they debuted."
She calmly said the sharpest words, and stabbed Jiang Juyou directly with her sword.
Yang Siyu lowered his eyes to sort out his emotions, then picked up his clothes and stood up, "I will work with other people... let's stop here."
Jiang Juyu, who was sitting in her original seat, was still looking at the seat where Yang Siyu had just sat. She kept holding back her tears until the office door was closed again, and then her tears started to fall.
Jiang Juyu turned her head, and the moment her eyes closed, her tears fell into her black clothes, not even staining them with color.
"...Jiyou."
Jiang Juyu crossed out the dialogue box and wiped the tears from her face, but the tears were out of her control and kept falling along the track she had just drawn.
"Group name: I'm going to fight you European emperors and rich people"
"Liu Yue: @Jiang Liuxing, how is your sister recently?"
"Jiang Liuxing:...She hasn't been home for several days."
"Zhou Keke: Have you called the police?!"
"Jiang Liuxing: She has been living in the company because of work, and she's fine."
"Ling Cheng: I've been busy like crazy recently. I was so happy about getting the offer before, but now I want to bang my head against the wall and take paid vacation."
"Liu Yue: @Ling Cheng [ear]"
"Ling Cheng: [covering mouth] I can't say, but you should know soon."
"Jiang Liuxing: Sigh..."
Liu Yue knew about the turmoil inside Random Entertainment because of Jiang Liuxing's relationship, and Jiang Liuxing didn't know about it because of her elder sister. But because Jiang Tang often went to the company during that period, and Jiang Juyou didn't go home, Jiang Liuxing, who was quick-eyed, immediately noticed something was wrong. After asking her elder sister, she found out what happened during the quiet period of Random Entertainment.
The rumors about ticket fraud have been clarified, and the [makeup] that was used as conclusive evidence has been explained because the video data was retained before the filming. And those who clamored to give more shots to the trainees at the end were also resisted by passers-by because they didn't like to see it.
Random Entertainment seems to be the same Random Entertainment, but it is a little different.
The turmoil in the company was blocked by Jiang Juyu, and she had to bear it alone. As a result, she had not been home for almost half a month. She was either in a meeting or on a business trip.
The five members of Timetrain who were studying peacefully, the female trainees who were on tour, and the trainees who were waiting for their debut opportunities in the basement had no idea that such a thing had happened inside the company.
Yang Siyu also came to work every day, and even had meetings with Jiang Juyu every day. Occasionally, they would talk about something with a smile. The staff below thought that everything was fine. Only Jiang Juyu's assistant knew that they were just maintaining a superficial relationship.
"Waste...all waste..." The assistant sat at her desk and cursed viciously in a low voice.
"What waste?" Cheng Yuan heard this when he approached.
The assistant was startled and stood up quickly, "Nothing, nothing, Jiang Zhi is in there!"
"Thank you." Cheng Yuan nodded, then went in with his bag.
Cheng Yuan pushed open the door, and the first thing he said when he saw Jiang Juyu was, "Oh baby, you're so thin that you can be a female star!"
--------------------
Assistant: I feel sorry for the boss...
The one with Yang Siyu was not to the point of rigging, it was just that the program was edited according to the audience's preference. It's an easy-to-understand example, similar to the original program group in Sister Lang who wanted to promote one of their own, but the one that actually got popular was another. In order to retain the audience, they edited the one that the audience liked as the focus of the next episode.
The part where Yang Siyu criticized Jiang Juyou was written from her perspective. Don't let it get you into a rut. The rules of the boy group were originally based on Jiang Juyou's preferences. She was fair because she wanted the audience to understand every trainee.
Jiang Juyou was not dragged into it, but she was still hurt because she didn't expect Yang Siyu to say such a thing.
They broke up only because of different philosophies.
