Chapter 59
The trainees who participated in the program all signed contracts and negotiated their remuneration. They were paid by the number of sessions, 800 yuan per session, and 20 sessions in five months, which was 16,000 yuan.
Jiang Juyou looked at the more than one million yuan that had been deducted from her phone and felt a headache for a moment, because she had to settle the money for the virtual studio today.
The overall revenue of the program was more than 300 million yuan, of which half was from fans' voting and peripheral purchases, and the remaining half was contributed by the various sponsors of the finale.
Feeling uneasy, Jiang Juyou opened the APP, but kept squinting and dared not look directly at the numbers on it.
"Park rental fee: 950,000 yuan"
"Equipment rental fee: 1,000,000 yuan"
"Staff setup fee: 100,000 yuan"
"Cafeteria supplies: 150,000 yuan"
"..."
Jiang Juyu scrolled down and accidentally saw the total.
She closed her eyes for fear of getting dirty if she took the photo, "It's okay!"
Excluding staff salaries, a total of more than four million yuan was spent. Salaries were paid directly from the company and are not included here.
She pressed the checkout button and settled the filming fee for this program, then got up from the sofa.
The popularity of the program has not dissipated for a week. During this period, news about the various trainees came out from time to time, and everyone was very concerned about what would happen to those trainees who did not make it into the circle in the future.
Random Entertainment has not announced the whereabouts of its trainees, but from the fact that several trainees who did not make the cut have opened social media accounts, we know that they have terminated their contracts with the company. Some of those who did not open accounts are probably taken away by other companies.
As for the 21 people who made the cut,
they have already flown to South Korea.
"Title: Eat melons and discuss/The almighty Little Red Potato Someone encountered the trainees who were having fun in Seoul!"
"Move!"
"The trainees who have entered the circle have already arrived in Seoul. Today, someone encountered them buying things in the OY store. They were quite eye-catching. People in the store thought they were idols who had debuted and kept looking back."
"The blogger on Little Red Potato said that hangover medicine was also on site. After they left, a Korean scout came up to give them a business card. It was so funny!"
"Oh, by the way, there were only seven people in the OY store, Chen Chi, Pei Gao, Ye Yao Sang, and I didn't see the others."
Comment area:
"? When did they go? It was so quiet!"
"The trainees and staff went there by chartered plane. The hangover medicine flew over yesterday. Someone saw the hangover medicine at the airport."
"Hangover medicine, I really, she cried to death!"
"Looking at it this way, they are all so tall, except for Yao and Pei who look sunken."
"Please, just debut with this group, my seven members! I can't accept one less!"
"Why are the seven of them together, are they a group of seven this time?"
"What a coincidence, I am the one who carries all seven~"
In this place further north, the temperature is much lower. As soon as they arrived, this group of people integrated into the lives of the locals, and they never took off their black down jackets that covered their calves.
Jiang Juyou set off on the third day after they arrived. This time, she did not live with them, but stayed in a nearby hotel suite.
She had a meal with the staff last night, and met the trainees today.
Jiang Juyu, with the company card in her pocket, led the interns out of the OY store. After coming out, she asked, "Do you need anything else? Do you have enough clothes? The temperature is going to drop soon, so remember to wear thicker clothes."
There were no classes arranged for them in the first week. They first adapted to the environment and did various examinations. Gao Xiayu and his group had gone for a face-to-face examination the day before yesterday. It was the turn of the other two groups these two days, so they did not go out with Jiang Juyu.
Hearing Jiang Juyou say this, Pei Luming immediately raised his hand, "Can I buy another down jacket?"
"Down jacket?" Jiang Juyou looked back and saw that the seven of them were all dressed like seaweed rice rolls, so he nodded and agreed, "Let's go, I'll buy clothes for you, and I'll help others choose later."
They were walking in the mall, but the seven boys were too conspicuous. Anyone who saw them felt like trainees or artists. Many people turned their heads along the way, and some Chinese who recognized them secretly raised their mobile phones to take pictures.
When they finally finished shopping and returned to the parking lot, these people had so many bags in their hands that they could hardly hold them.
After getting in the car, Gao Xiayu chatted with the driver for a few words, and the car drove away.
Gao Xiayu sat in the passenger seat, Jiang Juyou sat diagonally behind him, Pei Luming and Sang Mo were in the back row, and the others were in another car.
"It seems that you have learned the course well." Jiang Juyou suddenly felt that the money was well spent.
Interns have to learn Korean and English since they entered the company. Gao Xiayu and his friends have learned Korean for more than half a year, and now they have no problems in daily life.
Pei Luming, who was conspicuous in the back, immediately responded: "We speak it very well too!"
Jiang Juyou nodded and said perfunctorily: "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
As if she remembered something again, she suddenly turned around and asked Sang Mo and the others, "What examinations did you do?"
"Well... maxillofacial, dental, skin, vocal cords, bones." Sang Mo counted them on his fingers.
Pei Luming said again, "The doctor said I can still grow, that I can grow to 1.85 meters!"
The first thing the trainees did after arriving was to do various examinations. The maxillofacial examination was to look at the bone structure and analyze the future facial trend. The dental examination was for whitening and correction. Several trainees were determined to have tongue correction in a few days, including Yao Shuo, Sang Mo, Gao Xiayu, and Pei Luming from their group.
The examination of the vocal cords was to formulate the next vocal course and determine the lead singer. After all, some things are innate, and it is difficult to keep up with acquired efforts. The skeleton was examined to see how tall they can grow and whether they are closed.
For this job that relies on appearance, these examinations must be done in advance.
In addition to tooth correction, the trainees will also have to undergo regular skin care. Jiang Juyou saw that the schedule given by the staff also included fitness classes and physical training classes. In the future, the trainees will have to run ten kilometers every day.
Just as Jiang Juyou continued to recall the schedule on the schedule, Pei Luming behind her said again: "We have to go to the styling studio to do styling design tomorrow."
Jiang Juyou nodded.
After selecting the debut group members, all companies will conduct rounds of image design to find the most suitable style and concept for the trainees, and will also shoot many concept posters, so many official announcement posters and countdown posters for the debut were shot a few months or even a year or two ago.
From this point on, the company's money will flow out like an open faucet.
"Is there nothing to do in the afternoon?" Pei Luming hesitated, and it was clear that he had something to say.
He tilted his head and asked carefully, "Jiang Zhi, can I go out for a while in the afternoon?"
"Where are you going?" Jiang Juyu turned around to look at him.
"I'm going to meet my sister. She's a trainee at a big company here."
Pei Luming lowered his voice when he spoke, but still attracted several people in the car to turn their heads, especially the co-pilot Gao Xiayu. He ate and lived with Pei Luming every day, but he didn't know that he had a sister.
"You have another sister?" Gao Xiayu's tone changed.
The little man scratched his head, "Well, twin sisters... She is strictly controlled by the company. I haven't had much contact in the past two years. Recently, she joined the debut group... She couldn't come out originally, but just now she said she can come out."
The amount of information was too much, and several people in the car reacted for a long time.
Pei Luming not only has a sister, but also twin sisters, and her sister has even been training here for two years this year.
"How old are you?" Sang Mo still had disbelief in his eyes.
Pei Luming said speechlessly: "I celebrated my fourteenth birthday last month, and you are only one year older than me!"
Jiang Juyou in front said: "Then go ahead, just come back before dark, do you need someone to accompany you?"
"No, no, she will pick me up later, we will go have a meal, and then take a photo for my parents." Pei Luming's words seemed to reveal something again.
The car happened to stop at the door of the hotel, so Jiang Juyou packed up and prepared to get off, "Then go back and tell the staff in charge of you to come back before dark, don't be too late."
"Goodbye, Jiang Zhi."
"Well, you go back."
As the car door closed, Jiang Juyou's world became quiet.
She let out a long breath, and as she was walking, the familiar system prompt sounded.
"Ding——"
"You finally showed up!"
The system has always had a low presence in her daily life. Most of the time it is silent, and sometimes it doesn't respond when she calls it.
Jiang Juyou didn't take out her mobile phone in the cold wind, but ran into the hotel quickly with her neck shrunk, and then put her hand in her pocket, "Let me see what kind of difficult task this time."
After tapping the screen twice, Jiang Juyou saw the task written on it, "... Participate in the production of a film or television drama?"
"Haha!" It made her laugh directly, "Do you think my brain can be a director or a screenwriter?"
Jiang Juyou gritted her teeth and attracted the attention of other guests in the hotel. She raised her head and cleared her throat twice, then quickly slipped into the elevator.
Just as she was about to continue, the system said, "Whatever you want to say."
"..."
Every time she said something to the system, it was like punching cotton. This sentence made Jiang Juyu hold back her words, and she was so angry that she muttered, "Stinky cotton."
"...Are you talking about me?" The system, which was supposed to be in silent mode, suddenly spoke.
Jiang Juyu: "..."
She pretended that she hadn't spoken just now.
But the system spoke at this time: "My number is 0743, so my name is 0743."
Jiang Juyu complained in her heart: It might as well be called stinky cotton.
But she said, "No one's name is a number, think of another one." Jiang Juyu said it casually, just to prevent the words from falling to the ground and appearing embarrassed.
The elevator door happened to open at this time, and Jiang Juyu walked out and touched the room card in her bag.
The system was silent at this time.
--------------------
In case someone has forgotten, I will say it again, Jiang Juyou's CP is the system. If you don't like this kind of spiritual love, you can just treat it as no CP! There are not many emotional lines!
