Chapter 409: Falling Again
Each one is exquisite and beautiful, and worth about 30 or 40 yuan, which shows the organizer's care. Everyone was very happy to see it, and ran to the water room to wash and heat the cups, and asked the staff to get tea. Tea is also divided into black tea, green tea, and flower tea.
An hour later, a staff member came to lead the students who had completed the reporting to take the elevator to the seventh floor. Fang Hongye, An Zhixia, a photographer and two assistants also followed.
Because the staff apartments have not been built yet, their dormitories were converted from offices. There are 26 solid wood bunk beds in one room, with a pull-out cabinet under the bed to store personal belongings, and a set of tables and chairs between the two bunk beds.
There is a stuffed doll holding a sign on the table. Although the walls cannot be painted, the bunk bed can be painted. The lesbian room is pink, and the gay room is light blue.
There are some novel decorations in each room, which make everyone like them. The most important thing is that there are names on each bedside, and all kinds of quilts, sheets, quilt covers, pillows, hot water bottles, etc. are all prepared.
There are also enamel basins, towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, facial cream, mirrors, combs, medicated oil, mosquito nets, toilet paper and other daily necessities in the cabinet.
The trainees' bedding, clothes, and daily necessities were all packed into sacks, with their names written on them and put into the warehouse for temporary storage. They were also required to eat before the formal training began.
The audience in front of the TV gasped as they watched. Those who could afford to buy a TV lived a more affluent life. After all, those at the top were a minority, and most of them were still fighting tooth and nail for housing allocation from their companies, and they were also secretly scheming for promotions and salary increases.
In the 1980s when materials were still scarce, the aura of tyranny displayed by Tomorrow Culture Company was enough to attract people's attention and this was also the focus of the entertainment industry.
Director Bai was sitting in his office. There were four TVs on the wall opposite him, playing Tomorrow's Star and Xia Hua's Morning. The high-end and low-end were obvious. The fat on his face was shaking with anger. He picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number. As soon as the other party answered, he shouted angrily:
"I have invested a lot in Xia Huazhichen. How much can I spend on a bed, a cabinet, and bedding? Are you just staring at the small piece of land in front of you?
Look at the rising stars, they are built up with a lot of money!"
Opposite him was the director of the logistics department of Xiahua Culture Company, whose forehead was also sweating with anxiety: "Director Bai, none of us thought of live broadcasting. We recruited twice as many students as they did, and the cost of a thousand people is very high. Aren't we also thinking of saving as much as possible?
Our main funding is spent on equipment, so these minor details are insignificant compared to the students' majors, right?"
Director Bai quickly calmed down. In fact, he also understood that the live broadcast of Tomorrow's Star was too sudden. They didn't think much about it and started the broadcast immediately. They didn't expect so many troubles to follow.
But they were already on board, and if they canceled the live broadcast, they would be slapping themselves in the face in front of all the Xiahua audience. They couldn't afford to lose face, so they had to bite the bullet and continue broadcasting.
"We have enough funds, so hurry up and buy what we need. Not all viewers will be watching it anyway, so we can change the things later. Remember, we at Kyoto TV have plenty of money, so we can do whatever it takes to attract attention. Isn't that just showing off your wealth?"
The station manager spoke, and the director of the logistics department responded one after another. After the call was hung up, he immediately ordered people to go to various manufacturers to customize things.
After visiting the college dormitory, Fang Hongye returned to the first floor and began to interview the applicants while inserting advertisements for sponsors.
Five hundred people were divided into five teams to register. The front desk staff was very fast and it took a whole morning to count the number of people. Seventeen people did not show up and automatically forfeited.
Everyone has found their own bed and then gathered in a team to go to the restaurant.
The restaurant is on the same floor as the dormitory. It was originally a staff restaurant, so there are not many changes. It is just that it was designed with style from the beginning, and still has three glass windows, so you can see the surrounding scenery.
The sky is azure blue, with patches of white clouds like cotton. What comes into view are the endless golden wheat fields and scattered villages, which make people feel peaceful.
The tables and chairs are all solid wood inlaid with fabric. Some are curved, some have two seats, some have four seats, and there is even an area where the seats are actually swings.
The ceiling is painted in warm yellow with burgundy stripes and decorated with exquisite chandeliers, just like a western restaurant. When you walk in, you can't help but straighten your back, breathe lightly, and behave like a reserved gentleman.
They lined up to the food pick-up area, each holding a tray, and walked from one side to the other. They were dazzled by the variety of beautiful and delicious food. If they were not allowed to choose only one type in each area, it would be difficult for anyone to resist the temptation and not eat too much.
The audience in front of the TV suddenly felt that the food in front of them was no longer delicious...
Director Bai and Deputy Director Huang were almost going crazy. Although Xiahua Culture Company also had a staff canteen, it was just a staff canteen and they sold big pot dishes. Even though they deliberately showed off their wealth by providing a lot of meat dishes such as braised spareribs, braised pork, and braised fish, compared with other people's exquisite and nutritious meals, they were like country bumpkins who had never seen meat and were inferior!
"Change it, remodel the restaurant for me," Director Bai said through gritted teeth, "No, choose a floor with good lighting and decorate it like a Western restaurant!"
After dinner, everyone lined up and followed the staff to a training room that could accommodate everyone and still seemed spacious.
The floor was wooden, and everyone took off their shoes and walked in excitedly. They were curious and looking forward to everything.
They lined up and sat on the floor. Apparently the "Star of Tomorrow" program had officially begun. There were as many as ten cameras in the room, and there were as many as forty or fifty staff members including photographers and stagehands.
Such a scene made the contestants very nervous and excited, and they waited quietly.
The door slowly opened and a group of people walked in. The one in front was a woman wearing a royal blue tube top dress with puff sleeves. Her slender waist was shown off by a black belt, which made her look even taller and more beautiful.
Everyone looked up, and when they saw her appearance, they could not help but freeze in amazement. All those who had been complacent about their looks, thinking they were superior or had great advantages, had their confidence ruthlessly shattered at this moment.
"Everyone, my name is An Zhixia, and I'm the initiator of 'Star of Tomorrow'!"
