Chapter 1 Chapter 1 The fifth generation debut plan is about to start! ...
Inside the room, the young man picked up his suitcase, walked past the table, closed the document open on his computer, sent a file titled "Development Industry Report" to his phone, and then shut down his computer. Then, the sounds of footsteps and doors slamming could be heard one after another. As the room darkened, there was no more movement.
At the back mountain, the young man knelt down in front of the tombstone and kowtowed three times. Then he stood up, picked up his luggage and walked down the mountain without looking back.
The trees cast heavy shadows, and the thin figure quickly disappeared.
It was not until two hours later that, with the enthusiastic help of the security guard, the young man who came to the station with his suitcase took out a slightly yellowed business card and made a call with a borrowed mobile phone.

"Where is Mr. Su going in such a hurry?" Someone in the office heard hurried footsteps and looked up in confusion.
His colleague thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "Is he going to pick someone up?"
Su Junliang stepped on the accelerator all the way and finally arrived at the station on time. He parked the car in a hurry and rushed to the exit, just when he was about to meet a swarm of people coming out of the station. Dozens or even hundreds of people gathered together, making it dizzying, but Su Junliang's eyes never left the crowd. He scanned the crowd one by one, trying to find the person he was waiting for.
The crowd gradually thinned out, and fewer and fewer people left the station. Just when Su Junliang thought he had missed the opportunity, his eyes lit up.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for four years, as soon as that person came out, he knew there was no way he could make a mistake.
It's only him, and only him.
He finally waited for this person!

Minghui Entertainment’s fifth-generation development series debut project is about to launch.
In the past two days, all the fans who have been hanging around on the Internet have learned about this news.
When it comes to Minghui Entertainment, star-chasing girls have a lot to say.
The entertainment industry is now very developed, and all kinds of entertainment products are flourishing. While major entertainment companies are working hard to launch various newcomers to seek more attention and love, Minghui Entertainment has done the opposite. It has been established for more than 20 years and has remained a half-baked company.
Twenty years ago, Minghui Entertainment launched the first generation of training-based boy group. At that time, when the entertainment industry was not as developed as it is now, the concept of training-based boy group immediately attracted countless attention. In addition, the members of the first generation of training-based boy group were indeed very cute. In just two years, the first generation of boy group quickly became popular and became the number one boy group in the entertainment industry.
Minghui Entertainment also took the opportunity to launch the second-generation trainee program.
It's just a matter of time and fate. No one can tell whether the popularity of the first-generation boy group was due to the strength of Minghui Entertainment, the gimmick of the training system, or the luck of the first-generation members. In short, the training journey of the second-generation trainees was not very smooth. In addition, the fans of the first generation extremely hated the company's practice of using the first generation to give blood transfusions to the second generation. After the second generation debuted after three years of training, they encountered unprecedented boycotts.
Fans of the first generation declared: "There is only the first generation in the entire entertainment industry, but no second generation! Anyone who dares to hire the second generation is going against the first generation!"
Under such pressure, the development of the second-generation boy group stagnates, but the first generation is also twenty years old at this time, and the age of fans has also increased. Everyone is busy with real life. The pressure and mental maturity have made the resistance suffered by the second generation gradually reduce with the passage of time. In addition, the second-generation members have been working hard. After two or three years, they have gradually accumulated a lot of fans and successfully become a popular boy group.
Minghui Entertainment took one look and thought, wow, this training system has great potential! The first and second generations have both been successful, doesn't that mean they're on the right track?
So the third-generation trainee program was launched in full swing.
After the success of the first and second generations, Minghui Entertainment claimed to have mastered the operation of the training system. From the beginning of recruiting the third generation of trainees, they put forward many requirements and also came up with many new ideas.
The first generation's explosive popularity was unexpected, leading to a lack of a strong sense of belonging among artists and fans, and the company's lack of influence over the first generation, which created difficulties for the second generation's initial development. The second generation, through the label of a training system and steady operations, gradually accumulated fans and expanded their popularity based on a fixed audience. Because the team's development was inseparable from the company's support, the members and fans had a relatively friendly attitude towards the company.
To sum up, after much consideration, Minghui Entertainment believes that the development of the second generation is the orthodox path for the cultivation system.
However, there are many aspects that need to be improved in the operation of the second generation, such as the huge initial investment during the trainee period, the long payback period, the poor strength of the training system that has been criticized, and other problems. Minghui Entertainment believes that these must be solved in the third generation.
Is the initial investment too high? Then start touring and releasing merchandise to earn money from your trainee days.
The training system is weak? Then start the competition mode, the last one to be eliminated, and those with weak abilities will not be eligible to debut.
......
And so on.
In short, whatever was lacking in the first and second generations was "made up" in the third generation.
It is difficult to say whether such "compensation" is correct, because the third generation did receive unprecedented attention during their entire trainee period and accumulated many fans. The initial investment was also compensated by continuous touring and peripheral income. At the same time, the strength of the third generation debuting boy group was much better than that of the first and second generations. Once they debuted, they received flowers and applause, far exceeding the first and second generations who debuted at the same time.
However, the company has also discovered the drawbacks of this model. The last-in-first-out elimination system has led to excessive turnover of trainees. Many trainees have left the company early on, before they have fully grown up. However, they are not without value, and it is a pity to give up on them just like that. The trainees who stay certainly have strength and popularity, but with the blessing of long-term popularity, the mentality of these trainees has become that of mature artists, and they have their own ideas. In a word, they are difficult to grasp.
How can this be possible?
Trainees who were eliminated early actually had decent talent and still had fans. Instead of eliminating them early, it would have been better to keep them around and sell merchandise to earn whatever they could. After all, the teacher is still teaching, teaching one person or two, and their salary doesn't decrease just because the company eliminated a trainee. Unpredictable artists are even more problematic. After all the hard work the company puts into training and operating them, and they haven't seen any returns yet, but the artists refuse to comply, what's the future of their careers?
So the company thought hard again and summed up a series of rules and regulations. After the debut of the third-generation boy group, the fourth-generation trainees were made public and their successful experience was promoted to the fourth-generation trainees.
At this time, the members of the first-generation boy group are developing their personal careers in different fields such as acting, music, and variety shows. The second-generation boy group is in its prime, and the third-generation boy group has just debuted and seems to have a bright future. Minghui Entertainment can be said to be full of stars.
Therefore, once the fourth-generation trainee project was launched, the information of countless children was sent to Minghui Entertainment.
Minghui Entertainment is picky, from the children themselves, to their parents, and then to the education the children receive since childhood, in order to pick the best from the best and produce the best seedlings.
Twenty-one trainees were selected and revealed.
After three generations of development system operation, the entertainment industry has already cultivated a group of development system audiences. They pay attention in real time, and when the fourth generation comes out, fans immediately flock to it.
Practice, daily life, group variety shows are carried out step by step, and materials are released regularly, but the results are not as good as Minghui Entertainment expected.
Clearly, the audience for the training system has grown, and their new groups are also very popular, so why are the fourth-generation trainees' data no better than the third-generation at the same time? And even slightly worse than the second generation?
This is clearly unreasonable.
However, the experience summarized in the early stage cannot be abandoned, and the lessons learned later cannot be changed. The fourth generation continued to operate, but the data continued to decline. When the group was finally formed, it was not very popular and did not meet expectations at all.
In the subsequent summary, the various operations of Minghui Entertainment blamed each other, and finally summarized several new experiences.
1. When recruiting the fourth generation of trainees, the trainees' conditions were too excellent. Their parents had done a great job in educating their children, so the trainees were very sensible, polite and restrained. They lacked a "liveliness" in front of the camera and were not attractive enough.
2. The Internet is too developed, and the trainees themselves are well versed in the routines of the training system. Their behaviors seem to follow templates and lack freshness.
3. During the early stages of the fourth-generation trainee program, scandals erupted among members of the third-generation debut group, causing the public to lose trust in the training system...
In short, there are many problems, but they are definitely not problems of fourth-generation operation.
Internal discussions and analysis within the company will naturally not be made public, but since the company has so many people, there are always people who secretly leak information online.
As soon as this analysis came out, it immediately ignited the circle of fans of the cultivation system.
From the first to the fourth generation, fans have suffered from Minghui Entertainment for a long time.
The children are all good kids, but they happened to end up in a sweatshop like Minghui Entertainment.
It was clearly his own problem, but he put the blame on the child.
The first, second, and third generations work so hard and still have to provide blood transfusions to the next generation, and even after donating blood, they are still being dragged down and criticized! Is there anyone who lives like this?
You know, the school always starts renovating after you graduate, which is already enough to make people very dissatisfied, but the new students are also turning around and scolding the previous students. How can people not be angry? I just wish I could go back to school and beat up these freshmen and let them have a taste of the iron fist.
Each generation of fans will have a stronger opinion of the next generation of trainees.
Each one is a vampire lying on his own body.
Minghui Entertainment is even more shameless.
If the vampire throws one punch, Zhou Paopi will throw a hundred punches!
The fans were exhausted, and when faced with the fifth-generation trainees revealed by Minghui Entertainment, they fell into complete fatigue and turned into people of fun.
The materials are for viewing, the complaints are for venting, offline activities are not pursued, peripheral products are not bought, and money is definitely not spent.
You are Zhou Paopi and I am Grandet. Let’s see who is more powerful.
The online data of the fifth-generation trainees was not too bad, but the offline data was very unsatisfactory. Faced with this situation, the company should have made timely adjustments, but Minghui Entertainment also faced considerable problems at this stage.
Su Junliang founded Minghui Entertainment when he was young. He personally brought out the first and second generation groups. He was once full of vigor and confidence, but the expansion of the company was bound to be accompanied by the deprivation of the right to speak. After the fourth generation of trainees were made public, a huge internal struggle broke out within the company. The operation of the three debut boy groups and the operation of the trainee department faced a huge problem of resource competition. No one was willing to give up their own interests. Although Su Junliang was the boss, the company was not his one-man show.
In the end, Su Junliang was defeated. Although he was still in charge of the first and second generations in name, he actually put more energy on the next generation of trainees, and the debut boy group was taken over by different people.
Everyone has artists under them, and who can earn more depends on their means.
Now there is no fighting within the company, but the fighting outside the company is raging.
After all, the entertainment industry is so small and there are only so many resources. The age difference between the three generations of boy bands is only a few years, and their positioning is similar. If you go out and look at the entertainment industry, you will see that they are all competitors!
The resources cannot be divided, they cannot be divided at all.
In this situation, the debut groups are fighting each other to the death, all kinds of gossip is flying around, and there is no end to the gossip every day. The fourth generation trainees are affected, the operation is not successful, and the fans are not interested, so naturally they are not very popular.
Although Su Junliang wanted to manage the fifth generation of trainees, he had to accept his age. How could a 53-year-old Su have the energy to deal with a group of 11 or 12-year-olds? Therefore, although he was in charge of the fifth generation, the real work was done by the employees.
The issuance of orders and their final execution are another matter.
In short, after watching the ups and downs of the development system for so many years, fans feel that Minghui Entertainment is on the decline. Although the fifth generation is in operation and the sixth generation has begun recruiting, no one can say how long the development system's glory and Minghui Entertainment's monopoly can last.
But now, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how lukewarm it is, it is Minghui Entertainment after all. As soon as the debut plan of the fifth generation trainees came out, people in the entertainment circle rushed over to try to get a taste of the latest gossip.

Cong An, a trainee who failed to form a group in the training system, started over a year later and decided to participate in the biannual boy group audition.
In the program two years ago, "Starry Night", which has been held for six seasons, became a hit with the famous scene of everyone making trouble, and in one fell swoop brought back the program's declining ratings.
