Chapter 12

The underground practice room was painted like a white box. The walls were like whiteboards. The slightest stain could be seen clearly. Even the mirrors did not help the trainees. Against the backdrop of the white walls, any slight mistake in their movements would stand out like a spotlight.

The five people were all dressed in black, even their shoes were black. It seemed that they also knew the purpose of the white walls.

Jiang Juyou knew exactly how their learning progress was.

Before they officially started their trainee career, Jiang Juyou told them to record their daily learning results. The free practice time in the morning was the time for them to practice repeatedly to deepen their memory. Before lunch, the new management team would come with cameras. Each person had only one chance to record, and after recording, they had to upload it to the platform and wait for the teacher to evaluate and score.

They would upload it every day, and even write down their thoughts and feelings on it. Jiang Juyou also read all of this, so she knew what level these five people were at.

But Jiang Juyou didn't come today to express condolences, but to drop bombs. They were a little nervous.

Unlike foreign countries, China has a very mature industrial chain, so it can continuously cultivate excellent idols. However, China puts actors first, so much so that there is not even any platform for singers to show themselves, so that the singer circle is almost broken. Those who were popular 20 years ago are still those people today 20 years later.

The more this is the case, the harder it is for those at the bottom to stand out. In recent years, singer performance programs have been squeezed out by actors, and singer programs have no audience willing to stay, so capital is unwilling to give those natural singers some opportunities.

In such a large environment in China, Jiang Juyou chose to cultivate the bottom of the singer circle - idols.

That was really a hellish beginning.

Since she has decided to take this path, Jiang Juyou has also learned why it is so difficult to cultivate idols in China. The reason is still the environment. Those children who are good-looking and have some talents and are selected as idol trainees eventually go to learn acting.

People are always leaving, how can the circle be built?

Jiang Juyou is very afraid that the same situation will happen to her. After all, in addition to the obstacle of being an actor, there is also the hurdle of parents. If they really treat this as a summer interest class, then it will be over.

"I've been to class for a few days. How do you feel?" Jiang Juyou tried to suppress the uneasiness in her heart and pretended to be a boss.

She put her hands behind her back and rubbed them, as if this could ease her nervousness.

Standing in the middle was Gao Xiayu. He looked around and finally raised his hand and said, "I'm trying hard to keep up with the teacher's class."

When he raised his hand like this, Jiang Juyou knew that he was the backbone of the group.

Gao Xiayu was only one year older than them, but high school students were different from those junior high school students. They looked at Gao Xiayu like elementary school students looked at their older brothers, with awe.

I heard from Ge Mu from the newcomer management team that during free practice, everyone's practice arrangements were made by Gao Xiayu.

Seeing that they were a little reserved, Jiang Juyou raised his hand to signal them to sit down, "Sit down and talk." Then he sat on the floor first.

They looked at each other again, not knowing whether to sit in a straight line or in a circle.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally kept her distance from Jiang Juyu.

Seeing that everyone had sat down, she took out her mobile phone from her pocket and asked, "Have you reviewed the comments given by the teachers under the video?"

The five little chickens nodded, and Gao Xiayu said, "Yes."

"You can only see your own comments, not other people's videos, nor can you see the comments given by the teachers to others. I have also watched the surveillance during this period of time in the morning. Basically, everyone practiced their own dances, or Gao Xiayu and Chi Qiao led them to practice dancing."

When he heard Jiang Juyu mention the surveillance, Pei Luming raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then pursed his lips in embarrassment. Jiang Juyu on the opposite side glanced at him after he finished speaking, but did not say anything.

Jiang Juyu just looked through her phone and didn't hand it to them, but continued: "I believe you know better than me what the status of your free practice time in the morning is, so I don't want to say much. Whether you treat this as a summer interest class or you really want to debut, the final result will not deceive people."

"It's exactly sixty days before you go on stage. I have said before that there will be audiences for every end-of-month evaluation in your future. Whether you are willing to embarrass yourself with this status and results, that's your business."

"Those who work hard will be illuminated by the spotlight, and those who don't work hard will become the spotlight, making others stand out."

The expressions of several people were different. Except for Gao Xiayu, everyone else lowered their heads, not daring to meet Jiang Juyu's eyes.

Jiang Juyou glanced at Gao Xiayu, then looked at the others, "Do you think I'm targeting one of you? Actually, I'm talking about all five of you. Do you think you're better than the others? Can you use a benchmark to compare your current level to debut?"

"Like I said, you will remain trainees until you reach debut level."

"And the number of people who can debut can be four, five, seven, eight, or nine."

After saying this, Jiang Juyou looked at the five people who bowed their heads and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he sat up and said, "Continue to practice. There will be trainees coming in a few days. Don't be overtaken."

Compared to before Jiang Juyou came in, the expressions of the five people were much darker, and even their shoulders and backs were shrunk a lot. In the end, Gao Xiayu took the lead in saying goodbye to Jiang Juyou, "Goodbye, teacher."

After hearing this, Jiang Juyou turned around and waved, and then went out.

When the door closed, everyone inside and outside the door breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Juyou, who was standing outside the door, leaned against the wall and held her forehead. "What did I just say... How can I have the money to continue recruiting trainees? Help, can't you control your mouth?"

She sighed, and then sighed again after thinking about the company's deposits.

The people in the practice room were not much better, especially Pei Luming. He turned around and glanced at the eyes of the brothers, and said cautiously: "I must have been discovered playing games in the practice room..."

"I admire you for being able to play." Yao Shuo replied, and Gao Xiayu patted Yao Shuo on the shoulder and said to Pei Luming: "Just practice well in the future."

Chi Qiao said nothing, took his mobile phone to the side and prepared to play music and continue practicing.

In a place like Beijing, they have their own house, and their children have learned many specialties while studying. Their family must have some money. Not to mention being extremely rich, but their parents must have an annual salary of hundreds of thousands.

Such children will easily become lax, unless they regard this path as a dream, otherwise most people are like Pei Luming.

Because liking to sing and dance is one thing, wanting to debut as an artist is another.

For these children who grew up in wealthy families, this is just one way. Without this one, there are thousands of other ways for them to go.

There is only one way to control such children.

After leaving the practice room, Jiang Juyu did not rush upstairs, but turned to the office of the new management team.

The door of the office was open. When Jiang Juyu walked in, Liu Jiajia was contacting the teacher for the afternoon class, and Ge Mu was lying on the table to make up for his sleep.

Jiang Juyu took a look and said nothing. Liu Jiajia wanted to wake up Ge Mu, but was stopped.

Jiang Juyou lowered her voice and said to Liu Jiajia, "In the morning, when the children arrive, ask Ge Mu to go to the practice room first to hold a meeting for the children. Let them review the video recorded the day before, look at each other's problems, and review the points pointed out by the teachers."

"Okay." Liu Jiajia also lowered her voice.

Jiang Juyou waved and left after she finished speaking, because she had to go back and take responsibility for her talkativeness.

Damn it!

Jiang Juyou: People should not be too angry when they are alive. Look at what this mouth has done.
