Chapter 155
The repetitive melody sounded in the practice room. It was just a few sentences, but it had been ringing in this dim practice room for several hours.
The vocal teacher who pushed the door open thought that no one was there. After turning on the lights, she found that the three of them were squatting on the ground, even swiping their phones in the same posture.
"Good guys, I thought no one was there!" She turned on all the lights in a few seconds, and smiled after hearing the familiar melody, "I also swiped dozens of times this morning."
Seeing the teacher come in, the three people squatting there also stood up quickly, but because they squatted for too long, they all grinned when they stood up.
"…Hi, hello, teacher!"
After the show ended the day before yesterday, the song they performed on the show topped the charts of various charts and became a popular background music on short video platforms. You can hear this song by just scrolling twice.
This feeling is different from the feeling of causing discussion on the Internet when they debuted. At that time, they caused discussion only because they came from random entertainment, but this time it was because of their works.
Excitement and excitement filled their brains, making them feel that this situation is very unreal. In the past two days, they have frequently opened their mobile phones to search for their own names and the names of the group, read online discussions, and read netizens' comments.
When they debuted, they didn't feel that the hard work paid off, they just felt that the burden on them was heavier. But now it's different. Although the burden hasn't been lightened, at least they can breathe a sigh of relief.
The vocal teacher didn't chat with them for long, but clapped his hands and said, "Okay, run two laps quickly to warm up, and let's start the class."
After debuting, they also have a lot of classes to take, not only Equals3, but also several other groups.
NiGHT showed up at a music festival, and then entered a three-month training. During these three months, they also had to seize the time to produce an album for their debut.
Of course, this period of time cannot be wasted. Random Entertainment recorded their three-month training and made a group video for fans to watch, so as to avoid losing fans during the three-month gap.
They were taking classes next to Equals3.
"I'm dying..."
Before the dance class, they had to press their legs. There were a few people in the group who were not flexible enough, so they were specially arranged in the front row to prevent them from being lazy.
Xia Simiao, who happened to be behind them, was amused by their collapsing words, but because the teacher was sitting in front, she couldn't laugh too obviously.
The four girls in front of them propped themselves up on the floor with their elbows, their heads almost buried in their arms. The pain in their thighs twisted their expressions. The water on their faces kept dripping down, and they could no longer tell whether it was coming out of their foreheads or from their eyes.
"The teacher is done."
"Three, two, one! "
"Hiss—"
The teacher sitting on the floor in front of them still held the teaching stick in his hand, and dragged out the words: "Three—"
The girl in front of Xia Simiao continued: "Three, two, one, three, two, one, three, two, one!" in a long voice, begging the teacher to finish counting quickly.
The teacher dragged out the last three seconds to make it look like ten seconds. When he let them rest, the four girls in front of him finally pulled their souls back.
The five people at the back were fine, at least they were able to stand up and pull their legs back, but the four people in the front fell directly to the ground, unable to move.
They had taken this kind of class during the show, but it was only temporary, all for the show effect.
It was different here. They had several dance classes and several soft-tune classes. They had to prepare themselves mentally for a long time before each dance class.
"Wolong" moved his body and turned to Xia Simiao, "...Miaomiao, you have suffered!"
"Fengchu" also turned his head, "Twenty-four hours a day, you have sixteen hours of classes!"
"I thought it was a rumor outside before, it turns out it's true."
"...I want to die."
Xia Simiao was fine, her forehead was not even wet, "Didn't I say it before, it's true." She sat there with her legs crossed, looking relaxed.
"I thought you were joking!"
"Who would have thought it was true!"
Those people shouted loudly, and the dance teacher sitting in front of the mirror was shocked, "Do you still have strength?"
"Ah..." The four of them suddenly started to pretend to be weak.
There are rumors about what classes the trainees of Random Entertainment usually take and how long they take, but few people believe it. Especially for them who are also trainees, because they also take classes, they know how much water is in the classes. People
always say that artists practice dance for seven or eight hours, but in fact, they only practice for two or three hours. The rest of the time is either resting or checking the dance videos.
They thought it would be like this after they came to Random Entertainment, but they didn't expect it to be sixteen hours.
The classes are scheduled from morning to night. In addition to dance and vocal music, they are also taught how to match their clothes.
I used to think that the trainees of Random Entertainment were so thin because they were determined to lose weight. Now I know that it is hard not to lose weight with such a large amount of exercise.
They have been here for only two weeks and have not eaten any slimming meals. They just eat a little bit more dry, and their weight has dropped.
Because it is all aerobic, I am afraid that their muscles will lose too quickly, so I also arranged strength training to keep their muscles. They
eat a lot every day and exercise a lot, and their metabolism is raised.
The dance teacher sat in the front, raised his hand to check the time, and then looked at the girls in front who were discussing how much shit they had pooped yesterday, "Okay, okay, stop talking about shit, hurry up, we're going to start the class."
Hearing the class was about to start, the four sleeping dragons and phoenixes began to pant again, "Okay--"
Among the nine people in the group, only three had real experience as trainees, and the rest were either actors or amateurs. They only had to memorize the choreographed dances on the show, which at most meant staying up late and wasting some brainpower, but it didn't work in random entertainment.
The teacher would teach a variety of dance styles and basic rhythms, and each one had to be learned, memorized, and tested.
"Okay! Today we are going to learn the basic rhythm of Hip Hop. These movements are very important. You will use them in most of your future dances, so you must remember how to exert force in these movements."
The teacher clapped his hands to disperse them, then walked into the crowd and began to demonstrate the movements.
Today, the building of Random Entertainment is quite lively. Usually, there are only trainees in the building, but today, there are quite a lot of people.
Next to NiGHT is another exclusive girl group of a talent show. They have a smaller number of seven people, and are taking the same course.
In addition, there is Timetrain, which is preparing to return, and AIcho, which is preparing for a return single in April, and Frostine, a new boy group that Random Entertainment is preparing to debut this winter.
This is the plan that Random Entertainment has laid out in the past few years, and it is also the main force that the company will use to build the idol market ecosystem in the future.
Jiang Juyou also held a meeting with the operation teams of various groups this morning to listen to their plans for the future of the groups.
The main focus was on several new groups, such as NiGHT and ORCHID, which are limited girl groups. The broadcast time of their programs and the time of their debut are similar, and they are even operated by Random Entertainment.
Froxitin is the third boy group to be launched by Random Entertainment. The number of members in the group is seven. The group members have just been confirmed, and they are now busy looking for the central concept of the group.
Jiang Juyou needs to know the plans of each team for their own group in order to control the next path.
"Don't worry about the promotional platform for now, the company will work with several other platforms to produce it."
"Don't wait until the platform is built for you and you can't promote the person."
Jiang Juyu turned the pen and looked at Lin Jie, "How are you guys preparing?"
The return notice of Timetrain was sent out last week. After AIcho's performance on the dance floor this week, it will be their turn next week.
Seeing Jiang Zhi calling Lin Jie's name, everyone looked at Lin Jie.
Ever since she was transferred to Timetrain's operations team as a team leader, there have been rumors in the company that Jiang Zhi intends to train her to be the successor.
The unconvincing rumors were spread with details, and over time, everyone really believed it.
"There's nothing special on our side. We are following the arrangements for this return, which are what we discussed in the meeting yesterday." Lin Jie said it calmly, as if there was really nothing special.
But the other team leaders at the same table knew that Timetrain's return this time was the company's largest investment in production this year.
They were already envious of her projects being approved, not to mention that their group's plans were praised by Jiang Zhi.
Seeing her say it so easily, the other groups couldn't help but grit their teeth.
Seeing that she was confident, Jiang Juyu stopped asking questions and looked at the others, asking about their preparation progress.
The meeting lasted for more than half an hour, making the leaders sweat profusely. Jiang Zhi not only had to inquire about the progress of preparation, but also had to confirm the details of the plan. If they could answer, it would be fine, but if they couldn't, they would be doomed.
They were like students who were randomly checked on their progress in reciting the text in class, afraid that they would be called up next.
When Jiang Juyou pushed the door and walked out, all the staff present breathed a sigh of relief, and it felt that the originally stuffy conference room had become fresh and unobstructed.
"Alas... I have to go to the venue in the afternoon to check their pre-recording progress."
"Are you going to monitor it in person?"
"I'll just go and take a look, I'm worried."
"Okay, then we'll leave first."
They chatted with their mouths, but their hands didn't stop. After packing up their documents and computers, they walked out.
As soon as they took a step out, they met Jiang Juyou's eyes in the corridor. They quickly braked and pretended to walk out calmly.
Jiang Juyou just hung up the phone and saw Lin Jie coming out. She called her, "Lin Jie, come to the office with me."
The feeling of being called when you are an assistant is really different from being called when you are a team leader.
Lin Jie's first reaction now is whether she forgot to say something in the meeting just now, or if someone in the team has caused trouble again.

Lin Jie: ...wish me good luck.
