The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 270 "Idol Producer" Recording

“Before I decided to become a national producer, I doubted whether I was qualified because I had not been able to complete that difficult journey before. I was actually a failed trainee.

"But then I thought, the significance of Citizen Producer is that anyone who has ever dreamed of being on stage can witness and decide the birth of the dream of 'Idol Producer'. Even if you've never been a trainee, or even if you've never sung at a class New Year's Eve party, you can all come together to build this dream.

“Among all the national producers, I may be the one who has been closest to the realization of this dream. So I came here. I want to see the things that I couldn’t do before being accomplished. I want to witness your success as a loser.

"Are you ready?"

Xu Xing stood in the center of the stage with a serious expression and full of anticipation.

"Clap clap clap!"

There was a round of applause.

“Teacher Xu Xing is great!”

The program director Chen Gang praised loudly.

"Xing-ge is so handsome!"

Zhou Jieqiong's voice followed with a shout.

"Brother Xing spoke very well!"

He quickly followed Cheng Xiao's voice of praise.

Only then did Xu Xing stop looking at the front of the stage, relaxed, smiled at the mentors below the stage, and walked down.

"Brother Xing, isn't this putting too much pressure on them? If you are a loser, who else can be considered a success?"

Wang Jiaer praised Xu Xing and shook hands and bumped shoulders with him.

"Hey, nice to see you again, Teacher Xu Xing!"

Ouyang Jing next to him also shook hands and bumped shoulders.

"You're here so early!"

Li Ronghao expressed his surprise with a smile and also shook hands and bumped shoulders.

Xu Xing really surprised him greatly. Such a big star was so active in recording the show.

"Heard that I was still sleeping, Xing-ge came over!"

Zhou Jieqiong followed suit in admiration and stretched out his hand.

Xu Xing opened his eyes wide, expressed polite surprise, and did not shake hands.

"I'm so sorry for taking so long. If I hadn't come earlier, I don't know how long it would have taken."

"This is too tiring. I just saw the news about your filming wrapping up on Weibo yesterday."

Cheng Xiao had a concerned expression on his face.

"Yeah, it must be very hard for Xing brother."

Same expression as Zhou Jieqiong.

The whole greeting process was just Cheng Xiao and Zhou Jieqiong showing their concern, Wang Jiaer making jokes, and Li Ronghao and Ouyang Jing talking less. They probably wanted to chat more, but felt it was not appropriate to delay Xu Xing's conversation with the beautiful woman.

After the greetings, the director called Xu Xing and the five mentors to take a group photo together.

There were several standing positions lined up, with Xu Xing sitting in the middle.

The same applies to visual imbalance.

Otherwise, just wait for the king oyster mushrooms to blow up the entire show.

After the mentors finished shooting simple materials and recorded a few interviews, Xu Xing temporarily ended the intensive "make-up class" after rushing here early in the morning and returned to the lounge to rest, waiting to record the trainees' first appearance in half an hour.

The program team only prepared a separate lounge for Xu Xing, and also prepared another large lounge for all the mentors.

Xu Xing went back to the big lounge with them.

There was only half an hour, and staying in the lounge by myself seemed quite unsociable.

Keep chatting.

Compared to that time when they visited the set, Zhou Jieqiong and Cheng Xiao behaved much more naturally in front of Xu Xing during the second meeting. As long as Xu Xing didn't look into their eyes specifically, they were relaxed.

As soon as their eyes meet, they become noticeably restrained.

——Xu Xing knew very well that these little girls would not have behaved like this in front of her a year ago. In the past, the halo around her was only in the eyes of her fans, but now, in the eyes of celebrities with a certain reputation in the entertainment industry, she has also begun to have a halo.

Among them, Zhou Jieqiong talked more, and she laughed without any burden. She was the carefree type with no sense of boundaries. That was why, as she appeared on more and more variety shows in her previous life, she was soon labeled a "tomboy".

This kind of personality is also very different from the character she showed in the "Produce 101" program. At that time, fans thought she was a little fairy, so more and more fans came to her. Those who can persist in being her fans are definitely true love. Unfortunately, true love is worthless in front of Sicong's car.

...Perhaps its only value is that it increases the pleasure of tearing onions.

Cheng Xiao is very interesting. At the beginning, she followed Zhou Jieqiong closely. She would say whatever Zhou Jieqiong said, but gradually she spoke less and less and started to act more quiet.

I don’t know if it was because Xu Xing’s eyes met hers a few more times.

Xu Xing had been wanting to change her makeup, thinking it was a bit too heavy. The stylist she had just brought in told her that the studio lighting made her face look oily, so she lightened her makeup.

But in fact, the topic of conversation was mainly about Li Ronghao and Ouyang Jing.

One talked about music, and the other talked about the previous "The Rap of China".

Ouyang Jing also mentioned PG1, and expressed her feelings about his experience of becoming a hit through a variety show and then quickly collapsing.

"Among these trainees, there must be some who became famous but then fell apart."

Xu Xing shrugged.

"It's hard to be a celebrity without losing your reputation."

Li Ronghao smiled.

"Today's stars and fans are a little too..."

Ouyang Jing thought about the words.

"Teachers, let's get ready to record the show."

The on-site PD (production director) just knocked on the door to notify us.

The topic was interrupted.

Recording program.

The 100 seats in the studio are arranged in a pyramid, with numbers from 1 to 100 from top to bottom. After the trainees come in one by one, they can choose a seat to sit down. Together with the A-F labels affixed to their bodies before entering, these represent their ratings of their own abilities.

When Xu Xing and the five mentors walked over, they were already seated, chatting loudly, waiting for the next trainees to enter, and listening to the announcement.

"The next one to come in is——"

【Global fans exceed 150000000! 】

The screen flashed. The shouting turned into exclamations.

"Are there any trainees of this level participating in the competition?!"

"what???"

[The cumulative number of single plays has exceeded 2000000000! ]

"Wow!"

"Is Zhou Jielun coming???"

[Billboard US chart topped for 11 weeks! Global chart topped for 47 weeks! ]

"Xu Xing!!!"

"Xing-ge!!!!"

"I cried!"

"My idol!"

"my God!"

"Lucky God!!!"

"I am the starry sky!!!"

"The sky is full of stars shining brightly!"

【Cumulative box office revenue exceeds 124 billion! 】

"Lucky God!"

"Lucky God! Lucky God! Lucky God! Lucky God! Lucky God! Lucky God..."

The whole audience went from noisy exclamations to shouting in unison.

Every trainee's face was filled with excitement, nervous anticipation, tears, or envy.

【Good luck! 】

The name is typed.

The decibel of the audience's cheers increased again!
The atmosphere in the studio was extremely heated!

It's like a group of die-hard fans are enthusiastically looking forward to their idol's appearance at a fan meeting.

The five mentors who were introduced next also expressed their excitement, but they all paled in comparison to Xu Xing's name. They were already so excited that they could only pretend to be excited.

In fact, when the six people walked in together, the name that was shouted from below was still Xu Xing's.

But this is not a problem. During post-production, just don't include the sound of calling Xu Xing. The trainees' reactions when introducing other mentors were not excited enough, so you can cut out their reactions when introducing Xu Xing and paste them as reactions to other mentors.

Xu Xing has this kind of charm nowadays.

The on-site PD does not need to specifically emphasize to the trainees to respect other mentors.

In the entertainment industry where the powerful are praised and the weak are trampled upon, the big names enjoy the feeling of being admired all the time, and the small and unknown names should be aware of the sense of superiority that the big names have.

The scene became completely quiet only after Xu Xing began speaking.

"Hello fellow trainees, I'm Xu Xing, the representative of the National Producer."

After a brief greeting, Xu Xing began to introduce the competition rules of the show.

"...the number of chairs will decrease until only 11 will remain."

As the program's official recording approached, a change that occurred was that the number of debut places was adjusted to 11.

In general, the trainees from Lihua and Zhengrong are of the highest quality. In addition, there is Cai Jini, who is bet by Kiwi, and their own agency, Guoran Agency, which also needs to have debut spots. Wang Sicong's Banana Entertainment has the most trainees, 9, and they also need to take care of one spot, and then allocate spots to other companies to allow some dark horses that were not planned to emerge.

All parties coordinated for a long time and finally added two debut positions.

After Xu Xing finished his introduction, they quickly got down to business and started the first assessment.

Conduct level assessment for all trainees.

The six mentors sat down in front of the pyramid seats.

According to their status, Xu Xing and Li Ronghao sat in the middle, on the other side of Li Ronghao were Wang Jiaer and Ouyang Jing, and on Xu Xing's side were Cheng Xiao and Zhou Jieqiong.

I have to say that compared to the last time on "The Rap of China", Xu Xing had a much harder time recording "Idol Producer" this time.

It was equivalent to doing all the work of the host, and all the oral broadcasts were done by Xu Xinglai.

Of course, when it comes to level assessment, everything is subject to Xu Xing.

Everyone discussed it, but since Xu Xing insisted, they had to listen to him.

"We would like to invite the first group, the trainees from Mai Rui Entertainment."

Xu Xing looked at the word card in his hand and called out the names of the students.

The purpose of the "Idol Producer" production team is to complete the process and select a group of ideal boy groups to debut.

Therefore, all scripts are designed to achieve this goal.

And because this is the first idol audition held in China, the script does not have to be too elaborate, and the cannon fodder, people with connections, and royal families can all be arranged very clearly.

The first person to come on stage is the cannon fodder who has connections.

Well, those who can use facial recognition most often are those who have connections.

Unless there is an unexpected incident or the acting is terrible, the shots of the people with connections will be retained.

There are also hierarchies among people with connections. Some people with connections will be edited into funny comedians even if they make a fool of themselves.

This refers to Dong Yanlei, who only practiced for 10 days and knew nothing.

So mentally retarded.

The other mentors cooperated with the comedic effect, and Xu Xing tried reluctantly, but still felt like he had a stupid episode.

He also wants to cue Xu Xing...

"Class F."

Xu Xing was too lazy to interact with him.

In fact, the character of a mentally retarded person is quite popular among idols, and the character of a good-for-nothing is also popular, but the character of a mentally retarded good-for-nothing is a character exclusively for those with resources.

And it is the exclusive character of the kind of resourceful people who cannot be promoted by force.

If there is anything else worth mentioning, it will not be packaged like this.
