Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, starting with the strategy of 95 flowers to counterattack

Chapter 222 Creation Camp Dormitory, Gu Yang's Room Check

The 11 contestants from Class A were given priority to be taken to the dormitory.

The moment she pushed open the door, Meng Meiqi raised an eyebrow slightly.

The room's color scheme is a blend of 13 different shades of pink, ranging from cherry blossom pink to rose red, creating distinct yet harmonious layers.

The overall layout is 4 people per room, with each single room being about 20 square meters in size, equipped with a floor-to-ceiling bay window, a Nordic-style sofa, and a custom-made carpet.

Each contestant has their own dressing table and locker, and their individual official photos are displayed above their beds.

The tatami lounge area is covered with soft cushions, and the walls are adorned with a gold-stamped slogan that reads "Stay Excellent."

It's obvious that Class A has the best living conditions!

The trainees from Class B to Class F were assigned to the third and fourth floors.

The decor here is predominantly light blue, paired with white furniture, creating a fresh and soothing overall style.

The beds in each room are arranged on one side, leaving a central aisle. Each room accommodates 6-8 people and shares two bathrooms and a dressing area.

The room wall is covered with an encouraging slogan: "Turning the tide against all odds."

Yang Chaoyue stood at the entrance of Class C's dormitory, clutching her luggage, and peeked inside: "Huh? It's much better than I expected!"

The girls in the same dormitory looked at each other, seemingly unaffected by the label of being in Class C.

The building also has many public areas.

The tiered plaza, located in the atrium of the dormitory building, features wooden steps that unfold in a fan shape. It serves as both a temporary rehearsal space and a secret hideout for late-night heart-to-heart talks.

At this moment, groups of trainees have gathered here, sharing snacks and exchanging contact information.

In the corner of the first floor, there is a glass room that is a small shop with shelves full of drinks, instant noodles and skin care products.

Holding the potato chips she had just bought, Wu Xuanyi smiled at the camera and said, "This will be my happy hometown from now on!"

"Attention everyone!" The stagehand stood in the dormitory lobby with a megaphone. "We're collecting cell phones now."

Amidst the wailing and screams, Yang Chaoyue clutched her Nokia phone tightly: "Wait! Let me send a text message to my dad first!"

"You'll have ten minutes of talk time each day." The staff member expressionlessly took away the phone. "Please focus on training the rest of the time."

In the control room, more than thirty monitoring screens lit up simultaneously.

Apart from the bathroom, every corner of the dormitory was exposed to the camera.

The girls' flustered packing, their initial greetings, and even the way they secretly wiped away tears were all recorded truthfully.

These materials will soon become highlights of "Dormitory 101 Diary".

"The cleanliness rating system is now being released."

The stagehand pointed to the notice board on the wall, "First place gets half an hour of WiFi, last place..."

He deliberately dragged out his words, saying, "I have to read the self-criticism in front of everyone."

The area in front of the notice board immediately erupted in chaos.

"Oh no! I'm terrible at cleaning!"

"Half an hour of WiFi? But what's the use without a phone?"

"Wait a minute. Isn't this scoring standard a bit too detailed?"

Meng Meiqi stood on the periphery of the crowd, her gaze fixed on another timetable:
07:00 Morning run
08:00 Vocal Lesson

14:00 Dance Training
20:00 Physical training
The words “Extra training time will be calculated separately” in red were particularly glaring.

"That's it? That's too easy!" she whispered to Wu Xuanyi beside her.

Wu Xuanyi was a little unhappy about being assigned to Class B: "It's definitely not comparable to being a trainee in South Korea... after all, this is in China!"

Meanwhile, in Class C's dormitory, Yang Chaoyue excitedly jumped onto her bed: "Great! We're closest to the convenience store!"

Suddenly remembering something, she turned to Xiang Yuxing, who was quietly making the bed, and asked, "Sister, do you think the production team provides late-night snacks?"

Xiang Yuxing paused for a moment.

Wasn't this girl very nervous just now? Why is she acting so carefree and giving up now...?

……

Inside the meeting room, the projector light shone on everyone's faces. Director Sun Li stood in front of the whiteboard and tapped the topic of the day with her finger.

Content and highlights of the first episode!

"The initial evaluation recording is now complete. Next up is dormitory life and theme song training." She looked around. "We need to create some content that will generate discussion."

The assistant director flipped through the script: "According to the original plan, tomorrow is the mentor room check session. Ella and Zhang Jie will go to the dorms for a surprise inspection to see how the trainees are doing."

Sun Li shook her head: "It's too conventional, not exciting enough."

Everyone looked at each other.

She suddenly looked at Gu Yang, who was sitting to the side and had been specially invited by them, and smiled slightly: "Director Gu, why don't you... go and make your rounds?"

Gu Yang raised his eyes, his expression calm: "Me?"

“Yes, you are a mentor on the show and one of their bosses, so it’s perfectly reasonable for you to check on them.” Sun Li said naturally, “Moreover, the trainees will definitely have more respect for you, so you can capture their real reactions.”

Gu Yang thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, follow the procedure."

He could more or less guess what the production team meant!
But!
He'd never experienced a dorm room check involving 101 girl group members before and wanted to broaden his horizons...

Once Gu Yang's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, the conference room instantly became lively.

"Director Sun, wasn't Ella supposed to be doing the ward rounds?" the assistant director couldn't help but ask. "Why was it suddenly changed to Director Gu?"

Sun Li glanced at him, her eyes filled with disdain as if to say, "You don't even understand this?": "What's so interesting about Ella's room visit? It's just a female mentor and a female trainee interacting, nothing more than sisterly affection."

She tapped the table meaningfully: "But it's different if Gu Yang goes."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

A young and handsome male celebrity checks out a girl group's dorm late at night?
This topic is so popular, it's enough to trend on social media just by thinking about it!

“Attention, filming crew,” Sun Li ordered directly, “The camera crew needs to know how to film, capturing some ‘ambiguous’ interactions appropriately, but not too much, making them natural.”

Some hesitated: "Director Sun, Director Gu has a close relationship with the top management of Tencent. Will doing this displease him?"

Sun Li waved her hand: "Don't worry, Director Gu is a smart man. The show needs popularity, so he won't mind." She paused and added, "Besides, we're not really filming anything inappropriate. It's just normal interaction, just... guiding the audience's imagination a little."

The group exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

……

At 10:30 p.m., the dormitory loudspeaker suddenly came on.

"Attention all trainees, mentor Gu Yang will be conducting dormitory checks at 11:00 AM. Please be prepared."

The announcement was repeated three times, and the entire dormitory building instantly erupted in chaos.

Class A Dormitory

"What?! Director Gu is coming?!" Liu Renyu almost dropped the skincare essence in her hand.

Meng Meiqi calmly closed her training notebook: "What's the big deal? Let them come. Um... I'm going to take a shower first..."

Sunne sprang out of bed with a leap and rushed to the closet, rummaging through it: "What should I wear? Is that white hoodie too casual?"

"Why are you changing your clothes so late at night?" Lu Xiaoyu said, while reapplying lipstick in front of the mirror. "We're going to sleep soon, why don't you just wear your pajamas?"

"Is there some other motive?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the other girls who were changing clothes all turned to look at her.

Lu Xiaoyu's hand trembled, and the lipstick application went crooked: "...Haha, I was just kidding!"

Class B Dormitory

"Quick, quick! Bring me my lace lingerie!" Fu Qing shouted, grabbing at the wardrobe.

The girl in the dorm stared in disbelief: "Are you crazy? Director Gu is coming to check the rooms, aren't you dressed more formally?"

“What do you know?” Fu Qing smiled mysteriously, “A more subtle appearance makes for better camera work.”

Li Ziting, in the next bed, silently zipped up her training uniform to her chin: "...I think I'll dress more conservatively."

In the corner, Yamy rolled her eyes: "Have you guys forgotten that there are security cameras in our dorm?"

Everyone froze.

Class C Dormitory

"Where's my curling iron?!"

"Who took my killer lipstick?!"

"This perfume costs three hundred yuan, don't spray so much!"

Chen Yihan, guitar in hand, huddled in the corner, watching her roommates wander around like headless flies. She timidly raised her hand and asked, "Um... Teacher Gu is probably just here to check on the cleanliness, right?"

"Naive!" Her roommate pulled her up and whispered, "Quickly, find a position that shows your collarbone while practicing the piano!"

"So what if this show produces a group? Can it compare to the resources that Director Gu manages to get through his fingers?"

"If Director Gu takes a liking to you, you can be on any variety show, movie, or TV show you want..."

……

Yang Chaoyue sat cross-legged on the steps at the entrance of the convenience store, wearing a wrinkled cartoon pajama, her hair casually tied into a messy bun, and her lips still smeared with the red oil from instant noodles.

She slurped her noodles while mumbling incoherently.

"Fanfan, do you think President Gu is just bored? Coming to check the girls' dormitory in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

She rolled her eyes. "Does he think we're too bored and come here to give us some excitement?"

"They really have nothing better to do..."

Zhang Yifan slowly wiped his mouth and whispered a reminder: "There are cameras here, keep your voice down."

Yang Chaoyue waved her hand confidently: "Don't worry! I've already scouted the area!"

She pointed to the location of several cameras, "Look, this angle won't film us, and the microphones are far away, so it's perfectly safe for us to talk here!"

She was completely unaware that a hidden camera was pointed at her from the shelf directly in front of her, clearly recording even the sound of her slurping noodles.

In the monitoring room, Gu Yang sat in front of the screen, staring expressionlessly at the smug little face on the screen.

"..."

The entire production team held their breath, pretending they didn't exist.

Yang Chaoyue continued her barrage: "Let me tell you, President Gu may seem serious on the surface, but he's actually quite vengeful!"

"Last time I danced to 'Little Apple' at the company's annual party, he laughed so hard he almost fell off his chair. As a result, he made me practice the dance for three hours the next day!"

"Can you blame me?"

She pouted, "Who knows what kind of trouble they're planning during this round of ward rounds..."

Gu Yang: "..."

The on-set director cautiously asked, "Director Gu, should we cut this scene...?"

Gu Yang took a deep breath and rubbed his temples: "Cut it off."

The on-site director nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay!"

However, in the surveillance footage, Yang Chaoyue suddenly leaned closer to Zhang Yifan and lowered her voice, but it was still clearly heard: "But to be honest, President Gu is really handsome, but his temper is terrible, like a headmaster..."

"Besides, from what I've observed, he seems to be a jerk..."

Zhang Yifan: "..."

Gu Yang: "..."

director:"……"

The air froze for three seconds.

Gu Yang slowly stood up, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, and said calmly, "Let's go, ward rounds."

Director team: "..."

Yang Chaoyue, in danger.
