Chapter 29
When I left Beijing, I was just feeling the cool autumn breeze. When I came back, the wind became a sharp blade, piercing my bones and causing pain.
Jiang Juyou, who had just stepped off the plane, quickly put on her coat. She did not forget her identity as an assistant and urged her sister to put on her coat and scarf.
Unlike being alone in Shanghai, the company was in Beijing, and there was a car to pick me up after I left the airport.
There were often some fans or photographers waiting at the airport, and the black nanny car parked outside immediately became the focus of attention. Some people even searched for who would fly to Beijing today.
The two people who were pulling their luggage out would not know this. Jiang Tang was losing weight and was a little hungry. She blocked out all the news from the outside world. Jiang Juyou was pulling the luggage behind, watching the video on her phone while following her sister.
After the results of the pre-examination came out yesterday, Jiang Juyou has been watching videos, watching the performance videos of each group, watching her solo videos, and watching the surveillance videos of the practice room. She almost didn't sleep all night, just watching and looking for the reason.
The more she watched, the angrier she got, and even her face looked bad.
After leaving the airport, Jiang Tang looked back at her sister, "Is it that car?"
Jiang Juyou raised her head, and the anger in her eyes could not be suppressed, which scared Jiang Tang.
"Yeah." Jiang Juyou answered briefly, and then handed the luggage to the waiting staff and got on the car directly.
Jiang Tang, who had never seen his sister like this, didn't dare to talk to her after getting on the car, and just huddled quietly in the corner. Jiang Juyou took out his mobile phone again, and just after opening it, he remembered something, "Send the artist back first, and then take me directly to the trainee area. You can put my luggage in my office later, thank you."
"Okay." The driver in front replied.
The car sped all the way, and when it arrived at the trainee area, Jiang Juyou also watched all the videos sent by the staff, and his anger reached its peak at this time.
The nanny car drove into the campus and didn't stop until it reached the practice building. The first thing she did after getting off the car was to call the rookie staff in the campus and ask all the trainees to gather in the large practice room.
The staff who received the call immediately became hurried and hurriedly asked others to notify them.
The temperature was over ten degrees, and it made this group of people sweat.
The trainees who were practicing there were also startled. Suddenly, someone pushed the door open, turned off the music, and asked them to gather in the large practice room.
"Jiang Zhi is here, hurry up and gather in the large practice room!"
The twenty people who were originally practicing in the company almost had their hearts stopped beating after hearing this. The others had not seen the chief producer yet, but they had heard that he seemed very fierce.
Yao Shuo and Chi Qiao happened to be in the same group. When they heard this, they wanted to die.
"It's over. We're going to be scolded."
"...I feel like I'm going to die miserably today."
In the large practice room, there was a row of sofas against the wall, and opposite was a mirror. Jiang Juyu sat on the sofa with an unhappy expression, just waiting with her arms crossed.
Soon someone knocked on the door and came in. Jiang Juyu looked up and found that they were unfamiliar faces. These were probably the newly selected trainees.
They pushed each other in, "...Hello, teacher."
Jiang Juyu just nodded and said nothing.
After a while, someone else pushed the door in. This time, the one leading the way was Pei Luming, who was also the only one Jiang Juyu was familiar with among the people on the list.
Pei Luming, who came in, met the producer's eyes and felt inexplicably nervous. "Jiang Zhi is good."
This time, Jiang Juyou did not look away, but kept staring at him until he came in and stood up. Then she slowly said, "...Sit down."
After hearing this, the trainees looked at each other and sat down. The people who came in later also quickly found their seats and sat down. In less than ten minutes, more than 60 trainees were all there.
Jiang Juyou glanced at the door, and then called out, "Gao Xiayu, go call the newcomers and ask them to come over."
"Okay." Gao Xiayu quickly got up and ran out.
During the time he went to call people, Jiang Juyou kept looking down and didn't say anything, and the trainees who were sitting didn't dare to look at the producer, so they just lowered their heads and avoided his sight.
After a while, the door was pushed open again, and the team leader came in with other staff members. Jiang Juyou pointed to the empty sofa next to him and said, "Sit down."
Now it was the staff members' turn to be nervous
again. Usually, the people who had more contact with Producer Jiang were the heads of various departments, and the heads also went to meetings. They had nothing to do with the small staff members. When they were on different floors in the company, they rarely saw the chief producer, but her fierce image had long been spread throughout the company. When they heard Gao Xiayu say that the producer called them, their hearts skipped a beat.
There were not many sofas next to the wall, only three, but everyone was willing to squeeze together and did not dare to sit on the same sofa with the producer. When the trainees sitting on the floor saw this, they became even more scared.
Jiang Juyou relaxed, crossed her legs and leaned back, looked at the staff and asked, "How many people came yesterday?"
"Uh... eight people from the A&R department came yesterday, three from the performance department, and two from the marketing department." The staff who were called quickly thought about it, and the stimulation was no less than being suddenly called up in class to ask about math formulas.
The staff sitting on the other side handed over the iPad, "It contains yesterday's comments and rankings."
Jiang Juyou took it, opened it, took a look, and closed it again.
"This ranking is very surprising to me." Jiang Juyou left the trainees alone for more than ten minutes, and finally spoke to them.
She didn't mention anyone's name, but several people lowered their heads silently, afraid of being noticed.
Jiang Juyou, who never had a good face in front of the trainees, smiled unexpectedly, "...I thought the new trainees were too strong, so I reshuffled the order, but I didn't expect that the original trainees performed too poorly."
It is impossible for all 69 trainees to prepare a solo stage. Even if they did, they couldn't finish the inspection in one day, so this time, the trainees who wanted to show the solo stage only needed to prepare.
There were only more than 30 solo stages for the reporting staff, which was half the number, and most of them were trainees who had practiced in the company before, and there were not many newcomers.
Gao Xiayu had to undergo military training, so his actual practice time was only during the National Day holiday. He was unable to balance the group performance and the solo stage, so he did not sign up for the solo stage this time.
Jiang Juyou accepted this reason, but she did not accept the rest.
"Yao Shuo, what's wrong with you?" She asked directly by name.
Yao Shuo, whose name was called, subconsciously closed his eyes and took a breath, then hesitated and said: "...Solo is not ready."
"You are not ready? You are too well prepared." Jiang Juyou said with a sneer.
Because it involves elimination, the trainees seize every opportunity to practice. Even if they are out of town, they will find ways to practice dance moves at night.
It is really as the staff said, very competitive. Some trainees don't even go back to the dormitory and keep practicing here.
But they are in the wrong place.
Jiang Juyou watched the video all night and knew why the ranking was refreshed and only Pei Luming was on the list.
"Do you know what I chose?" Jiang Juyou changed his sitting position and asked the people below.
No one dared to speak easily, but they had to answer. The person below answered in a low voice: "...idol."
Jiang Juyou sneered again after hearing this, "I chose the group."
"Why give you the opportunity to show your solo stage? Because a song is only three minutes long, and in a group, each person only has a few tens of seconds, but I hope that the impression of a person will not be fixed in those few tens of seconds, so I arranged a solo stage to let everyone show more."
"But I see you guys are here just for the solo stage. You've been preparing for the solo for a month, and the group stage is like that. You're going to be on stage next week. Do you think I don't dare to delete the group stage?"
The staff always thinks they are still 13 or 14-year-old kids who can't make any trouble, but before that they are human beings, and human beings have all kinds of emotions and psychology.
More than 60 trainees, all of whom are the most competitive age group, do you think they will compete uprightly?
In this month, trainees come to complain every day, or hope that the staff can change their group.
Sometimes they are not satisfied with the song selection, sometimes they are not satisfied with the song distribution, sometimes the leader comes to say that the team members are disobedient and make trouble.
Those who applied for the solo stage are always complained by the team members because they focus on their personal stage, and even Yao Shuo and Chi Qiao are no exception.
The two of them who have perfected their individual skills will be eliminated because they focus too much on the solo stage. The group performance is very poor. When Yao Shuo was performing in the group, he gave up dancing and started to sing on the pole when it was his part, just moving his arms.
Chi Qiao was even the captain of their group, and a captain with full dancing skills, but their group danced the least, so even though their individual performances were scored high, they were pulled down because their group performance was too bad. Jiang Juyou suppressed
her anger when she spoke, "If you want to solo, pack up your things and go home now, then bring your parents to cancel the contract, and find another temple for you to debut solo. We are a boy band here, and we can't accommodate so many gods like you."
She chuckled again, "The staff told me that you are seriously involuntarily, and I was worried that the pressure on you would be too great and whether it would cause any problems. "What anxiety and panic. Ha, you complain that your parts are too few, and you don't listen to the captain's instructions. You even instigate others to start a new career. I think you are just too idle and have no pressure at all. Hurry up and pack your things and get out of here."
As she said that, she glanced at the time and said, "I was thinking of announcing the elimination list until next week's performance, so why don't we do it early today so that everyone can go home earlier."
"Give you one hour to practice and assemble on stage, and one hour to perform here later. If you are not qualified, you can just not perform. I will pack your bags and leave later."
Jiang Juyu became more and more angry and didn't want to see these people anymore.
After she finished speaking, the trainees were still sitting on the ground without moving. Jiang Juyou was so angry that she laughed, "Are you taking me for a joke?"
The people who reacted quickly stood up and ran out of the practice room in a few seconds.
