Chapter 72
The news that the trainees of Random Entertainment returned to China shocked the fan circle all night. All platforms were flooded with this news, so that the building of Random Entertainment was surrounded by fast-footed fans. They guessed that they might go to the company, so they kept waiting around the company.
But the fact is that only Jiang Juyou returned to the company.
When she was upstairs, she noticed the scattered fans standing downstairs of the company, and asked the security personnel to go out and persuade them, saying that the trainees would not come to the company today, but it was useless, they just didn't leave.
Yang Siyu, who was sitting on the sofa, held a cup of coffee in his hand and persuaded her to come back, "Don't worry about them
for now." Jiang Juyou turned around and took a look at the coffee in her hand, shuddering her shoulders, "It's already eight o'clock in the evening and you're still drinking coffee. Don't you want to stay in the company tonight?"
"I've been staying here for several days, okay?" Yang Siyu sighed with frustration.
After Jiang Juyou became the real boss of the company, the senior management also changed. Yang Siyu changed from the original position of A&R director to producer, responsible for planning and training girl groups, assisted by Zhao Xu, and Li Yao was promoted to director of the A&R department, in charge of album production.
These job changes are closely related to the idol industry, and some other changes are in other departments, which are not so relevant.
Jiang Juyou's main job is still the chief producer, responsible for the planning and control of the idol industry. Although the girl group produced by Yang Siyu did not go through her hands, she still needs her nod. The film and television department was handed over to Cheng Yuan, and her identity changed from an agent who led artists to a producer. There was no one to take over the variety show department, so Jiang Juyou was still in charge.
But her work focus at this time was on the first batch of trainees. Although the group had not been established yet, four albums had been produced. She ran around in the past six months just to produce albums.
After sitting back down, Jiang Juyou asked her, "What's the situation over there?"
Jiang Juyou didn't know much about the situation of the female trainees, and could only hear it from Yang Siyu, but looking at her expression, she didn't look like she was going to say any good news.
She pouted and frowned, "How should I put it... they are still not comparable to the male trainees. They are not nervous enough, nor are they stressed enough. I'm thinking about whether to hold a talent show and add some catfish."
The purpose of the talent show was to make the trainees nervous. Judging from the results, it was very useful. It not only helped the trainees accumulate popularity, but also allowed them to grow under pressure.
The situation for female trainees is different. The company's conditions are much better than before. Although there is still a monthly end-of-month evaluation, everyone's ability has not improved.
The company has really become an interest class.
"Well... I remember Pei Luming's sister is also in it, right?" Jiang Juyou heard this at the beginning, and didn't hear any news about her afterwards. She sat forward and asked, "What is his sister like? Sister Jia Jia didn't seem to say it at the beginning."
The company now has 16 female trainees. Yang Siyu can't call all of them by name, but she has a deep impression of Pei Zhiping.
She told Jiang Juyou, "Bae Zhiping is the best in every aspect among the current female trainees. My idea is to create a girl group centered around her, but it seems that I can't find anyone who matches her."
"She was in the debut group in her previous company, and she had even taken a lot of concept photos and recorded a debut album. In the end, she was eliminated because the company wanted to create an all-Korean girl group, so she was sent back to Group A and is waiting for the next girl group planning."
"At her age, she could definitely wait, but she might be disappointed with that company, and she must have felt a huge psychological gap after being sent back from the debut group to Group A, so she looked for another way out. Before she joined our company, she had received notifications from several companies in Korea, and she finally chose us because Pei Luming was here."
When she said this, Jiang Juyou thought about it. A child who had just graduated from elementary school was selected by an entertainment company because of a trip, and trained alone in a foreign country for two years. From not knowing the language and knowing nothing to being a foreigner in the debut group, she must have suffered a lot. She
had already entered the debut group, shot the debut poster, recorded the songs, and even rehearsed the dance, but she suddenly received a notice that she could not join the girl group this time and had to return to Group A.
Not to mention the psychological gap, the gazes of other trainees alone can kill people.
But empathy is empathy, and the market is ruthless. Jiang Juyou can't agree to produce a girl group centered on her just because of this.
So she replied, "Let's go down and meet one day and see how it goes then."
She does put strength first, but strength is just a threshold. There are many necessary conditions after crossing that hurdle.
"Okay... Oh, by the way, I've asked someone to buy the tickets, but are you sure you want to go?" When Yang Siyu was about to get up, he suddenly remembered what Jiang Juyou had told him a few days ago.
Jiang Juyou widened his eyes to show his sincerity, "Of course, do I look like I'm joking?"
"..."
Yang Siyu moved his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
The Internet has been very lively since the morning today. First, the work photos of the random entertainment trainees were moved by major marketing accounts, and then various gossips and rehearsal Reuters of the show finale were released.
Various entertainment accounts live directly on the Internet, for fear of missing any news that will affect their own money-making.
Liu Yue also got up with her sisters in the afternoon and rushed to the venue of the show finale to prepare to enter. While queuing, she swiped her phone and looked at the news of the random entertainment trainees. She even felt like she was caught climbing a wall.
The sun above doesn't care what day it is today. It only knows that it is still at work, and even brings the vitality of a newcomer to the workplace, trying hard to shine, vowing to stun the people below.
The cicadas in the shade of the tree were chirping loudly, as if they were discussing why those people were standing in line in the sun on such a hot day.
Not only did the cicadas not understand, but Liu Yue herself also didn't understand why she didn't go to Random Entertainment to take pictures of Ye Xing, but came here.
Thinking of this, she turned around and said to the little sister behind her: "Look at how great our friendship is. I gave up Ye Xing for you..."
The other girls holding umbrellas also tilted their heads gloomily and looked at the people behind Liu Yue.
Most of them followed the trainees of Random Entertainment. This time they came to Shanghai to watch the final performance because the trainees of Random Entertainment had not returned to China yet. Domestic entertainment was boring, and this was the only fun, so they came together.
As a result, I saw the news that the trainee of Random Entertainment had returned to China as soon as I arrived.
But I promised to help the little sister take a straight shot of her idol, so I couldn't go back on my word, so I could only queue here with a sullen face.
The girl who was besieged by the eyes smiled nervously, "...I will treat everyone to Haidilao, calm down, everyone calm down!"
The front of the line gradually melted away, and they were getting closer and closer to the ticket gate.
When they walked into the shade, Liu Yue also took the opportunity to put away her parasol. She squinted her eyes and looked around, then looked at the time and complained: "We enter at three o'clock and it starts at four o'clock. How many hours are they going to broadcast live?"
"Five hours at least."
"Ah... this sea scavenging meal can't solve it!"
"I'll take care of all the sea scavenging this month, okay!"
"That's better!"
They arrived late, so they were naturally at the end of the line. When it was their turn, there were not many people left behind them.
After checking the tickets, she waited for a while for her sisters who were traveling with her. As a result, she seemed to see someone who shouldn't be here.
Liu Yue squinted her eyes and looked at the masked man in the distance, tilted her head in suspicion, "Impossible..."
The person who was traveling with her came in and stuffed the ticket stub back into her bag, and came to meet Liu Yue, only to find that she was standing still, so she curiously looked in the direction of her sight, "...What's wrong?"
This question attracted several of them to look outside, but no one could figure out what was going on, so they looked back at Liu Yue.
Liu Yue shook her head, "Nothing."
"Then go in, it's so hot here."
"Why are there still so many people outside?" "
They're cheering for the show. I was given a lot of stuff on the way here."
"Fuck, ice water is 30 yuan a cup, let the organizers grab some!"
With the "pure" "Youth Throbbing 21 Times" first, the subsequent talent shows are always suppressed no matter how hard they try, especially when the stage is released, the contrast is more obvious.
At the finale today, as soon as the performances on several stages were over, marketing accounts made comparisons with "Youth Throbbing 21 Times". No one needs to have watched the "pure" show, just a few clips can tell the good from the bad.
"I feel like the program team is treating me like a fool..."
"The audio-edited electronic music is out, do you really think people can't hear it?"
"Random Entertainment makes me feel that domestic entertainment is saved, these drags slapped me in the face and made me wake up."
"Lip-syncing plus audio editing, this is too insincere, not as sincere as the others, although the singing is bad, but at least they opened the microphone."
"From this point of view, the trainees of Random Entertainment are really better than domestic entertainment, and some are still eliminated..." "
Give me a suggestion, don't find trainees yourself, you can find the dozens of people eliminated by Random Entertainment to be a talent show than now."
"After watching these programs, I am more looking forward to the debut competition of Random Entertainment."
"I can't imagine how powerful those people are now after training abroad for half a year. I heard that they could only come back after Jiang Juyou gave the nod. I'm curious about what kind of strength Jiang Juyou gave them."
"The superficial reason for only giving a close-up: to show their "beauty". The deeper reason for only giving a close-up: they are not uniform."
"The staff must be disappointed. They have been training for half a year, but they are still rotten."
"They even have a special diet meal, but they didn't lose weight, and some even gained weight. The random entertainment meals are all free, but everyone is so thin that they look like two different people."
"It's not us passers-by who are pulling down... you're too..."
The several stages that came out were ridiculed by the crowd. The stage's exquisiteness was complained about, the snacks in the venue were complained about, and the debut list was complained about as if it was predetermined. But what really brought the popularity of this program to the highest level was that someone discovered Jiang Juyou on the show, even in the backstage.
During the live broadcast, the program team seemed to want to show off the large venue and the almost full house. The screen weight was half of the stage and half of the audience, and most of the shots were showing how full the venue was.
As a result, the audience accidentally noticed Jiang Juyou sitting in the backstage.
She was dressed very low-key, wearing a hat and a mask, and even her clothes were deliberately black to blend into the background, but this did not prevent the audience who could not see the stage from discovering her.
The main reason is that it’s summer, who would wear a mask if they have nothing to do.
Hot comments from netizens:
“Jiang Juyou: Let’s see what kind of things have been riding on my popularity in the past six months.”
“Jiang Juyou: I feel relieved to have you in the entertainment industry.”
“I laughed my ass off, who said Jiang Juyou felt relieved after watching it, hahahahaha!”
“Jiang Juyou: Thank God for the gift.”
“Jiang Juyou must be laughing to death down there, a bunch of copycats can’t even copy what they don’t understand.”
“Excuse me, none of these people on the stage will make it to the debut competition if they play it 21 times.”
“My wife is so beautiful, my wife has lost weight again!”
“Everyone’s mouth is so bad, I love it!”
It seems that it was intentional. The news that Jiang Juyou appeared at the final performance of other programs quickly became a hot search, and everyone urged her to debut.
The higher the hot search ranking, the more people discovered Jiang Juyou, and even pictures from all angles came out.
The popularity of the show suddenly changed. Although just now everyone was complaining about the ugly stage, it was at least related to the content of the show. But now Jiang Juyou's name is on the hot searches and other platforms, and even the related popularity has become the debut competition of random entertainment.
They are all urging other audiences at the scene to ask Jiang Juyou when the debut competition will be held.
The topic was completely reversed, and the posts in the forum were once again flooded with random entertainment-related content. The names of the trainees who had been immersed for a while also reappeared in various groups.
Liu Yue, who was swiping her phone at the scene, seemed to feel something, but she was not sure.
She could only use this broken network to refresh continuously, looking forward to what she thought in her heart happening.
And in the offices of the major marketing accounts that were working overtime tonight, the sound of keyboards clacking could be heard. Everyone was busy moving news and refreshing various platforms, for fear of missing anything.
Jiang Liuxing did not go to the final performance today. She had more important things to do.
Just as she was busy writing the video script, she heard a shout from the office outside -
"Ahhhhhhhh, it's official! Random Entertainment's debut competition is here!"
"What what?"
"Where?"
"Quick, quick, quick! Take a screenshot and send it to me! I'll make a video!"
"Fuck, fuck, it's on fire!"
"Official announcement today!!! The smell of gunpowder is coming!"
"I knew it! I knew it!"
The rankings were announced at the finale, which should have been the highest tonight. When the trending search was at its peak, other news washed the list.
#Random Entertainment Official Announcement Debut Competition#
#Ginger Jueyou#
#Debut Competition#
#Time Train Countdown#
Random Entertainment's official account forwarded a new Weibo account named @Time Train.
This account posted a video at 7 o'clock and wrote: "We will eventually separate, but separation is to meet again, hello, Moonle."
The content of the video matched the theme song of "Youth Throbbing 21 Times", and the elements flashing in the picture immediately pulled everyone back to the original cyberpunk world.
With the moon as the background, the ship flying in the universe and the stars crossed a path, merged with other aircraft, and successfully connected to the track. The connected aircraft merged into a train.
When seeing this, everyone couldn't help but shout that the concept was spoiled so early.
After the cabin door was opened, there were no complicated operating panels on the wall of the train, no mechanical equipment inside, and no trace of the bionic man. The camera turned and saw only the greenery in the cabin, with white flowers and swaying green leaves on the ground.
The picture suddenly changed to the first-person perspective, and the camera swept across the small white flower, and its information appeared on it.
"Species name: Moonle"
"Endangered level: S"
"Mission: Escort Moonle to a new planet and find hope for survival."
This flower looks like jasmine and bell orchid, with white buds hanging down and green leaves swaying gently. As it sways, golden particles fall from the flower core.
The high-tech sense of the train collides with the greenness of nature, like a plant cultivated in a laboratory, giving people a strong sense of disharmony.
But this sense of technology matches the concept of a flying train, and the collision of concepts coincides with the original cyberpunk. The
more than one-minute concept short film has been watched over and over again by everyone, and the impact brought by the concept and the picture is still unforgettable.
"… Neiyu is saved."
"Does this plant really exist, or is it a special effect?"
"Oh my goodness, I've already spoiled it so long ago."
"I didn't understand, so the group name is Moonle, how do you pronounce it?"
"The class representative is here, Moonle is the fan name, the group name is Timetrain, and the members are the bionic people who escort Moonle."
"It sounds like Moonli, similar to Jasmine."
"Okay, I'm Little Jasmine from now on."
"I am dying of laughter. Random Entertainment, you guys spy on the fan circle. How do you know that the train conductor sisters like to pretend to be innocent when they fight?"
Random Entertainment's official account forwarded the post with the caption: "The long-awaited debut competition is here. Let's take a look at the group concept first!"
Then the original @青春悸动21次 official account was renamed @时光轮车倒计时, and released a preview poster for the survival competition and a concept poster for 21 people, and officially announced the date. There were dozens of Weibo posts in a row, so many that I couldn't refresh them.
Random Entertainment likes to throw bombs. The same personality as the bullet, the official announcement today, the show will start next week.
The concept is absolutely amazing, that is -
"Handsome guys, who are you?"
"No, can minors have plastic surgery?"
"Fuck...is this Yao Shuo?"
"Pei Luming, you have grown seven centimeters in half a year???"
"Oh my god, everyone is 180cm!"
"This is good, this is very good, let's follow this standard in the future!"
"Sang Mo is 188! Ah - my handsome high school husband!"
"It seems that what they said online is that the food expenses for 21 people are 10,000 a day is true."
"Korean makeup has something."
"No, sisters, what if this picture is photoshopped too much?"
"Except Pei Luming, they are all high school boys, my God, I am so happy!"
"Random Entertainment is so conscientious that Pei Luming's height of 179 is honestly written on it."
Although Random Entertainment releases some trainee materials every month, it basically releases the group that ranks first at the end of the month, and the ones released are all from a surveillance perspective, so it is still a bit difficult to see them carefully.
In the past six months, fans of each company have relied on subtitles to identify their own children. The trainees in the video are all wearing loose training suits, and some are wearing hats. It is really difficult to see their faces if you don't look up.
Now that I can see clearly, I can't recognize him because he is so handsome.
In the past six months, these boys have enough protein every day, and they have been working out and shaping their bodies. Not only have they grown a lot taller, but their temperament has also changed.
In the past, they really had the feeling of young boys, and only Sang Mo had the atmosphere of a male high school student. Now it is different, and they have all become handsome young husbands.
The tallest ones are Sang Mo and Chi Qiao, one is 188 and the other is 187. The hormones of tall boys in them are overflowing through the screen. The slightly tilted cheeks show the jawline, and the slightly smiling eyes are charming. The forwarding and comment areas are going crazy.
"Husband--little husband!!!"
"Oh my god! Pack up your things and crawl back overnight!"
"Sang Mo, if you don't debut as the center, I won't agree with your wife!"
"Chi Qiao's arm... I came first, so I licked it first!"
"Okay, from now on, we are also in the line of appearance!"
"The card face is already invincible, and husband, you have become more handsome, and the cards will be more expensive in the future."
The two have been jokingly called little husbands in previous programs, and now they are even more blatant. Fans don't even pretend, and don't care whether they are underage or not. They dare to say anything here.
Pei Luming and Ye Xing's forwarding and comment area data are even more terrifying, but because their fans are busy with data, there are fewer interesting words in the comment area. Discussions about them can only be seen on the forum.
"I'm dying of laughter. The only conspicuous person is Pei Luming. It was him half a year ago, and it's still him half a year later!"
"Only Pei Luming's height is less than 180cm. Hahahaha. Why didn't Random Entertainment lie to the child about one centimeter? Doesn't the child have any face?"
"I think Ye Xing is invincible. With this face and this height... he will be able to walk sideways in the future."
"If Ye Xing is 182cm at the age of 15, he will still grow in the future."
"Pei Luming is the most terrifying. He has grown seven centimeters in half a year."
"I thought of the complaints of the gangster in the group before. I laughed so hard that I vomited."
"What complaints? Can you give the post a thumbs up?"
"It's a complaint from a suspected Random Entertainment employee. They said that their trainees can eat a lot. They spend 10,000 yuan a day on food. The company can't survive."
"In the future, please benchmark the internal entertainment show selection against random entertainment. The average salary is 180 and there are no ugly people."
"So have the rules of the competition been released? How many people will be selected?"
"Today, I will hang up the portrait of the hangover medicine and pray twice a day. I hope I will definitely debut!"
"It's so painful. Why is it still a week away from airing!"
--------------------
Jiang Juyou: Very good, revenge for riding on the popularity.
I will start paying off my debts today, 6,000 per day, and the debt repayment will end on Wednesday~
