This director lacks vision.

Chapter 126 Teach Me How to Lose Weight
Jiang Yifeng has now realized that women are even more ruthless towards each other.

Female subordinates are more likely to act as pimps, helping their bosses do things that involve unspoken rules.

First Hu Qian, then Mu Di, both are increasingly enthusiastic about "managing upwards".

Mu Di's question was full of hidden meaning, as if he had some kind of arrangement in mind.

Jiang Yifeng shook his head and said, "This is a reality show. Although we can't be absolutely fair, we will try our best to be fair."

Excessive referee intervention can negatively impact the contestants' mentality and performance, as well as the broadcast's overall effect; it's completely unnecessary.

"Please tell Zhang Tianai to come see me later. I'll talk to her again to avoid putting too much pressure on her."

For Jiang Yifeng, he can pick up girls and play around with women anytime he wants.

There's no need to do these things when the training camp starts.

Produce 101 is, after all, a reality show. Although it has a script, the contestants still need to be as authentic as possible.

Even the fact that Nazar and Zhang Tianai are signed artists with Fengxing Media is kept as secret as possible.

Even if there are rumors, without concrete evidence, the impact is minimal.

If Jiang Yifeng were to privately contact some players at this time, and this were seen by other players, it could easily lead to various uncontrollable problems.

And all sorts of unnecessary rumors.

Moreover, Produce 101 was quite popular, and to play around with women when the public is watching is a foolish act driven by lust and is completely unnecessary.

Jiang Yifeng was well aware of this.

Since we've decided to do Produce 101, let's do our best to make the show a success.

Upon hearing Jiang Yifeng's words, Mu Di nodded, and everyone began to discuss and arrange today's filming content.

The entire Produce 101 training camp lasted 58 days and consisted of 9 rounds of competition, roughly one competition per week.

The final round will be a live broadcast of the grand finale, where the selected members will debut on the spot.

This arrangement was made to facilitate the filming, editing, and broadcasting of the program.

Two episodes will be recorded, with each competition serving as a dividing line.

After the footage was recorded, it was edited within three days and then uploaded online at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Because the first episode included a segment where contestants made their appearances, there was relatively less footage recorded.

Today is the day for the players to make their debut and meet the audience. The main content includes filming the situation of several seeded players, recording their personal statements, and creating some dramatic meeting scenes.

The next two days will be the placement matches.

The five judges each have four cards for each of the five levels: s, a, b, c, and d.

After the contestants finish their performances, the judges can play cards to recruit them.

Judges who present higher-level cards have priority in selecting participants; if all judges present cards of the same level, the selection is given to the participants.

This competition format of vying for players and determining rankings was also very popular in later generations, as it could increase the appeal of the program.

Jiang Yifeng remained silent, but listened to the team's discussion and was generally satisfied.

After the morning meeting, Jiang Yifeng said, "This recording of the program was very hard, but the gains were also significant."

In addition to Jiannanchun's title sponsorship, we have also brought in 8 advertisers, and advertising revenue has exceeded 5000 million yuan.

As long as the program continues to improve, there will be even more advertising revenue in the future, especially the live broadcast of the finals, which is crucial for attracting advertisers.

I won't say much else. I will give 40% of the profits from Produce 101 to the entire program team, with a guaranteed prize of tens of millions.

The more money the show makes, the more bonuses you'll receive—there's no upper limit!

This recording of the show was indeed very difficult.

Putting everything else aside, just getting 101 girls together in a hotel involves a multitude of tasks every day.

Moreover, there's the need for filming, editing, and planning various content.

This is indeed a considerable challenge for everyone.

Jiang Yifeng is very pragmatic; he directly distributed the bonuses, which gave everyone more motivation to work.

This tactic was indeed very effective. Everyone was instantly energized, shouting "Long live President Jiang!" and then went back to work.

Jiang Yifeng waited in the conference room for a while before Zhang Tianai arrived.

He briefly told Zhang Tianai about the "Sister Feng 101" incident.

Zhang Tianai nodded and said, "I will do whatever you arrange, President Jiang."

I just want to ask you for a small favor.

"What's the deal?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to lose weight, and I'm also afraid I won't be able to withstand the pressure of cyberbullying. Could you please encourage me every now and then?"

"Sure, I'll come over when I have time. Just keep it a secret and don't let anyone else know about your relationship with the company."

"Yes, I will!"

Zhang Tianai boldly made a request, and to her surprise, Jiang Yifeng actually agreed.

In her excitement, she wanted to launch a surprise kiss, but this time Jiang Yifeng sensed it and dodged it.

Jiang Yifeng still takes Produce 101 very seriously. He would come over every few days to check on things and chat with Zhang Tianai, which was fine.

Zhang Tianai was a little disappointed that her sneak attack had failed, but she still left with a smile.

After wandering around backstage, Jiang Yifeng arrived at the control room.

The hotel was equipped with hundreds of high-definition cameras and more than a dozen photography teams.

The recorded footage will be transmitted to the control room in real time, allowing Mu Di, the chief director, to oversee the entire operation.

Despite a long period of preparation, the first day of recording was still quite chaotic overall, as we lacked experience.

Jiang Yifeng also saw the performance of the seeded players through the central control room.

Li Yitong always greets everyone with a smile, appearing harmless, yet she has become a target for several contestants.

Some people mocked her privately for being pretentious, some gave her attitude to her face, and some even issued a direct challenge.

This is the treatment given to those who rank first in the vote.

Liu Meihan received the second-highest number of votes and received similar treatment, but she was more shrewd and assertive, and was able to retaliate on the spot.

Jiang Yifeng had just reviewed the information; Liu Meihan had recently received girl group training.

She trained in a girl group called "i Me" which was jointly created by China, South Korea, and Thailand.

After learning about the Produce 101 program, Liu Meihan made a very decisive decision and withdrew from the selection process there, instead coming here to look for opportunities.

She believes she has singing and dancing skills, so she is very confident.

Jin Chen is very smooth and can get along with anyone.
Chen Yuqi didn't talk much; it was unclear whether she was introverted or observing the situation.

Tang Shiyi is a professional dancer who has won major awards, and she is somewhat arrogant.

Zhang Yuxi and Yang Caiyu are both very outgoing and eager to show themselves off.

As for Naza, he was constantly chattering and socializing everywhere.

She was very active and exuded a sense of superiority from the inside out.

On one hand, Naza felt that none of these women were as beautiful as her; on the other hand, Naza had Jiang Yifeng as her backer. She genuinely believed that the show "Produce 101" was tailor-made for her by Jiang Yifeng.

Although Jiang Yifeng instructed Naza not to reveal her identity and relationship, Naza's sense of superiority was still hard to hide.

As a result, she became somewhat arrogant and even started giving orders to others.

Jiang Yifeng saw on camera that Nazar found Dilraba and was giving her all sorts of pointers.

“We’re from the same hometown and even went to the same school. I won’t hurt you.”

"You should talk more. You don't talk much, so you're not good for the show. When the show airs, you won't have any screen time, and without screen time, you won't have any popularity, and without popularity, you won't be able to debut."

"After we gather in the hall, we'll perform a Uyghur dance to set the mood and dominate the entire room!"

While teaching Reba, Naza was also consciously imitating Jiang Yifeng's tone of voice.

"Hold on" and "control" are not yet popular terms, but Jiang Yifeng often uses them in private.

Naza told her everything.

You know what, although she talks a lot and has a bit of a boastful and proud vibe, she's not annoying at all.

It actually felt more real.

At least in Jiang Yifeng's opinion, the overall impression was quite good.

It's just that Dilraba's situation isn't going so well.

Jiang Yifeng asked, "Who designed Dilraba's look?"

Mu Di checked and then said, "It was done by Makeup Team 5. The person in charge of this team is Tina, a Korean makeup artist."

The show Produce 101 selects girl groups, and while talent is important, appearance and looks are even more crucial.

Therefore, the makeup team is very important.

The program team invited stylists from China, Korea, and Japan to create looks for the participants, ensuring that each beauty presented her best self.

Jiang Yifeng shook his head and said, "Tell Reba later to stop wearing Uyghur clothes. Minority status shouldn't be used like that."

The vast majority of viewers of the show are not ethnic minorities, so she is harming herself by doing this.

In addition, she should learn from Nazar's makeup and styling to downplay the exotic feel.

She has striking features and a masculine appearance, with a lot of blank space on her face, making her look very attractive.

If you're not dressed up, you'll look strange; if you are, you'll look like a top goddess.

The makeup and styling team needs to put in more effort.

The Korean makeup artist was unfamiliar with the situation in China and gave Dilraba a look that resembled that of a minority group.

Wearing distinctive costumes and having exotic makeup and styling on the show are all counterproductive moves that don't please the audience.

Dilraba's looks are absolutely stunning.

Even without makeup, her features are still very standard.

She has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a straight nose, and a well-proportioned mouth and face. However, some girls have masculine features and large facial features, which makes them very reliant on makeup and styling.

Jiang Yifeng offered many suggestions in the control room and stayed with everyone to record the first day's program before leaving the hotel.

For the next few days, Jiang Yifeng was filming on set.

He didn't return to the hotel in Changping District until 6:5 p.m. on May 14.

Tonight, the first episode of Produce 101, the "Ranking Competition (Part 1)," will air. Jiang Yifeng came to check on things.

As soon as I entered the conference room, I received a text message from Zhang Tianai.

"President Jiang, have you come to the training camp?"

"how do you know?"

“I’ve been observing every day. Tonight, the production team cleaned up the entire meeting room and post-production area and even instructed the chef to prepare meals. It must be because the leaders have arrived.”

"You're quite smart."

"Of course, I don't have a photography crew with me right now, can I come to you?"

"Come on, I'll be waiting for you in lounge number 1."

Jiang Yifeng left the conference room and walked into lounge number 1 at the very end of the corridor.

Not long after I sat down, Zhang Tianai walked in excitedly.

Zhang Tianai's appearance has changed drastically in just one week.

Not only have she lost weight, but her makeup and styling have also improved significantly, making her look much younger.
She wore a low-cut T-shirt paired with a denim mini skirt, both top and bottom white, making her look rather sexy.

Jiang Yifeng asked, "Are you dressed like this on the show? There's no need for that."

When a person gets fat, a bear will also be bigger. Zhang Tianai's T-shirt was so low that Jiang Yifeng felt it was a bit dazzling.

Jiang Yifeng intended to add Zhang Tianai to his harem, so naturally he didn't want her to be too exposed.

It's okay to wear formal gowns on the red carpet occasionally, but you should still be mindful of your attire in private.

Hearing Jiang Yifeng's somewhat concerned tone, Zhang Tianai was overjoyed and quickly explained, "No, no, I changed into these clothes especially to see you."

I was wearing a coat when I walked over.

Jiang Yifeng nodded and asked, "Your weight loss is very effective. How many pounds have you lost?"

"I lost 11 pounds in a week!" Zhang Tianai said proudly. "I haven't eaten any carbs these days, and I've been sticking to dancing and exercising, so I'm losing weight very quickly."

Anyone who has tried to lose weight knows that if you start with a large weight, you lose weight very quickly in the first few days.

Then it will enter a plateau period.

But losing 11 pounds in a week is still too much.

After all, Zhang Tianai is not a large woman; she only weighed 130 pounds before.

Jiang Yifeng shook his head and said, "You're being too hasty. Weight loss should be done scientifically, otherwise it will harm your health."

True beauty is healthy beauty; this has always been my belief.

Zhang Tianai sat down next to Jiang Yifeng, pouting, and said, "But I'm worried that I won't be able to lose weight to my ideal state within 58 days~ My ideal weight is 90 pounds!"

Jiang Yifeng smiled and said, "You're 163cm tall, my suggestion is 95kg. Women look better when they're a little rounder."

I gave Naza a strict order: her weight was not allowed to be below 100 jin (50 catties).

She weighs 107 pounds now, which I think is a good range.

Naza is 172cm tall and weighs less than 100kg, which is considered too thin. A normal 172cm tall girl should weigh between 110 and 120kg.

In her past life, Naza lost weight to a minimum of 82 pounds for the sake of filming and appearing on camera; she was practically a paper doll.

Zhang Tianai is also a weight loss expert; she's so thin that her ribs are clearly visible, and her bear-like hip curves are gone.

Jiang Yifeng absolutely disapproves of this distorted aesthetic.

Hearing Jiang Yifeng's words, Zhang Tianai nodded, then suddenly grabbed his hand and placed it on her T-shirt.

"President Jiang, I'm willing to accept any of your arrangements. But could you teach me how to lose weight? I'd like to know what healthy weight loss is all about."

Jiang Yifeng: "..."
