This director lacks vision.

Chapter 135 Preference
Since taking leave from the college entrance examination, Dilraba's popularity has suddenly soared.

Back at the 101 training camp, she seemed to have a sudden epiphany and became incredibly energetic.

She performed very well in both dancing and singing, and even showed off her piano skills.

Seeing this, netizens commented that Dilraba's previous poor performance must have been due to being distracted while preparing for the college entrance examination.

By June 25th, Reba checked her college entrance exam score—437.

Perhaps it was the intense online attention surrounding her college entrance exam that put pressure on or motivated Dilraba, as she scored even better than in her previous life, gaining ten more points.

In the Xingjiang region, this score is just above the second-tier university admission line.

In a top-tier high school, these grades would certainly be considered very poor.
However, in the 101 training camp, and in the entertainment industry where illiteracy is rampant, this college entrance examination score is already considered quite good.

After all, Dilraba was attending a training camp while preparing for the college entrance examination.

Moreover, Dilraba's score is truly remarkable.

People who are fans of celebrities generally don't have good grades. If they don't work hard, they'll only get into a vocational college or a third-tier university. If they work hard, they can get into a second-tier university.

Dilraba scored 437 points, just above the second-tier university admission line. This score really makes you feel like you're really there.

So after the college entrance examination results came out, Dilraba's popularity soared even higher.

Her public persona suddenly became inspiring.

On June 28th, Produce 101 released a new episode.

A fan named "Little Fatty is also cute" posted a long comment of several hundred words in the comments section.

"I strongly urge Zhang Tianai and Dilraba to form the 'Love' duo and debut!"
I am a chubby girl weighing 130 pounds, studying at a third-tier university.

Every time I look in the mirror, I tell myself that I must start losing weight today, and I will definitely be a great beauty after I lose weight.
Every time I walk into the study room, I tell myself, "Come on, study hard. If you didn't do well on the college entrance exam, you can still take the postgraduate entrance exam."

But self-discipline is really hard!

Losing weight requires controlling your diet and exercising regularly, but I always give up halfway through; studying is also against human nature, I feel sleepy as soon as I open a book.

I think I'll have a hard time succeeding in this lifetime.

Fortunately, Zhang Tianai and Dilraba were there.

Zhang Tianai's weight loss transformation has proclaimed that ordinary people can also be confident, and she has transformed into a stunning beauty!

Despite the noisy environment of the training camp, Dilraba persisted in her studies and still passed the second-tier university entrance exam!

They represent ordinary people's love for life, and are also the two most popular contestants on Produce 101.

Therefore, I hereby call for Zhang Tianai and Dilraba to be formed into a group called the "Love Group" and debut as solo artists.

The remaining contestants can form another girl group.

This comment wasn't anything special, but it expressed the feelings of many ordinary girls.

So after it was posted, it quickly garnered over 10,000 likes and received a lot of support from netizens.

Many people left messages on the official account of Produce 101, expressing their desire to see their favorite group debut solo.

After listening to Mu Di's explanation, Jiang Yifeng opened Sohu Video and Weibo to take a look.

This wave of discussion is indeed quite significant.

Some fans have even designed a logo for their beloved group, and others have formed fan groups to cheer for the group.

The fan base for celebrities varies from country to country.

In Japan, there are a large number of otaku who idolize celebrities and are willing to spend money on them;
However, in China, boys receive corporal punishment and a sense of responsibility from a young age, making them relatively more rational and more likely to admire sports stars.

Girls have less responsibility, are more emotional, and have a louder voice, making them the main force in idol worship.

Zhang Tianai and Dilraba are already very popular and have a lot of fans.

After the "Little Fatty is also cute" statement was made, a large number of female fans gathered together, forming a significant voice.

In addition, the group's story is truly inspiring, and they have a good public image, with many casual fans and netizens supporting their debut.

For a time, the group "Love" became incredibly popular.

Jiang Yifeng asked, "In the latest voting rankings, is Zhang Tianai in first place and Dilraba in second?"

Mu Di nodded and said, "Yes, Zhang Tianai is leading Dilraba by 91 votes, and Dilraba is leading Tang Shiyi by 76 votes. Both of them have a large lead."

"What about Naza?"

“Naza is currently ranked 5th. In fact, she has no fewer male fans than Zhang Tianai, and even more than Dilraba, but she has too few female fans.”

Some women have a seductive and alluring appearance with a strong aggressive quality; they are clearly what is known as a "vixen."

Naza is one of those types.

These female celebrities are often attacked and smeared when they debut.

For example, Fan Bingbing and Meng Ziyi.

Actually, Zhang Tianai also has a bit of that vibe.

However, her appearance still carries a touch of heroism, and coupled with her well-crafted inspirational persona, she manages to avoid this drawback.

Under Jiang Yifeng's arrangement, Naza has consistently maintained a top-five popularity in the Produce 101 program and hasn't been attacked much, which is already a very good result.

But emotionally, Jiang Yifeng definitely wants to take care of Nazar.

He thought for a moment and said, "You should arrange some press releases and video clips first, saying that Naza is Reba's fellow villager and has always taken good care of her, just like Reba's older sister."

Furthermore, Zhang Tianai's successful weight loss was largely due to Nazar's encouragement and support.

You should have all the video footage.

Mu Di nodded and said, "Yes, Nazha is very enthusiastic and talkative on the show."

"If we were to edit these scenes, we could easily make at least one or two hours of video, without any repetition."

At the beginning of Produce 101, Zhang Tianai, who was eye-catching, was a chubby girl from the same company who needed to be taken care of; Dilraba was a quiet girl from the same hometown who also needed to be taken care of.

She was really enthusiastic about the two of them, and kept trying to get them on camera.

Even after Zhang Tianai and Dilraba made a comeback, Nazha learned to be magnanimous because of Jiang Yifeng's "boss lady theory" and still treated them very well.

Some of these scenes were edited into the program, while others were not.

But the material is still there, so there's no problem using it for hype now.

Jiang Yifeng said, "Arrange another press release saying that Dilraba and Zhang Tianai are at odds, and that both of them are competitive and want to take first place."

If the group is to be formed, it needs to be led by Captain Naza to facilitate the connection.

Why don't the three of them form a group and call it the Hot Love Group?

Upon hearing this, Mu Di joked, "President Jiang, your Mandarin isn't standard; you can't distinguish between nasal and non-nasal sounds."

Jiang Yifeng smiled and said, "As long as the group name sounds good, the three of them can be randomly combined. Dilraba and Zhang Tianai can be called the 'Love' group, Dilraba and Nazha can be called the 'Bazahei' group, or the 'Western Region Beauties,' and Zhang Tianai and Nazha can be called the 'That Day' group or the 'Love' group."

It's all just advertising anyway.

The idea of ​​a three-person group is outdated; a two-person group debuting is definitely not acceptable and doesn't align with the principles of our "Produce 101" program.

Jiang Yifeng said all this in order to get Nazaga to come in.

Mu Di understood, and she said, "I'll make the arrangements. What about Li Yitong and the others?"

Jiang Yifeng said, "All those who have obtained a debut card and are willing to sign a contract with the company will debut together to form the 101 girl group."

Under the 101 girl group, there are two or three smaller sub-teams.

The subgroups can operate separately normally, but when needed, they can also form a 101-girl group to perform together.

Let's see how the finals go.

After receiving instructions from Jiang Yifeng, Mu Di went down to make the arrangements.

At 10 p.m. that night, Zhang Tianai received a call from the production team at the hotel where the Produce 101 training camp was located, and headed to the conference room.

At this point, her weight had been controlled at 95 pounds, showing off her curvaceous S-shaped figure, and the contours of her face had become clear and three-dimensional.

At first glance, she looks a bit like Sharla Cheung, and upon closer inspection, she looks like Cecilia Cheung. She's truly more and more beautiful the more you look at her.

Zhang Tianai was in a great mood, and walked with a radiant smile.

Upon arriving at the conference room, she saw Dilraba.

Zhang Tianai stopped smiling, nodded, and that was her way of greeting him.

Jiang Yifeng's press release claiming that Zhang Tianai and Dilraba were at odds wasn't entirely unfounded.

According to Zhang Tianai, her rise to fame was orchestrated by Jiang Yifeng.

When she shouted "Ordinary people should be confident" on stage, it was so exhilarating it felt like my soul was leaving my body.

People live just to show off.

Zhang Tianai really pulled off a big show on the 101 program!
The happier she felt, the more she admired Jiang Yifeng.

From Zhang Tianai's perspective, the entire story of her rise to fame was orchestrated by Jiang Yifeng.

From the very first meeting during the Dark Glory audition, the boss had everything arranged.

While admiring Jiang Yifeng even more, Zhang Tianai also harbored a deep-seated ambition: she was determined to win first place, obtain the highest number of votes, and achieve the highest score to repay Jiang Yifeng's support.

Dilraba is currently second on the popularity chart, and Zhang Tianai sees her as a competitor, so naturally she doesn't give her a friendly look.

Moreover, Dilraba is indeed not very talkative, and she remains so even after becoming famous.

Zhang Tianai looked at Mu Di and asked, "Mr. Mu, are we waiting for someone?"

As the finals approached, the production team began to communicate and talk with the contestants more frequently, and everyone got used to it.

Mu Di nodded and said, "Wait a moment, Naza."

No sooner had he spoken than Naza walked in.

Upon seeing this, Mu Di stood up, closed the door, and said with a smile, "I called you here today to give you a heads-up."

As you probably know, there's a lot of online demand for Dilraba and Tian Ai to form a group called "Love Love."

Hearing Mu Di's words, Nazha looked at Reba and Zhang Tianai with some envy.

These two people clearly started from a lower point than him, but now they're above him. It's impossible not to feel resentful about that.

Even the boss's wife wants to be in the limelight.

Dilraba nodded without saying anything.

Zhang Tianai looked at Nazha and was about to say that she wanted to be with Nazha when Mu Di said, "The voice of the fans is very important. After President Jiang found out, he also thought this idea was good."

Mu Di brought up Jiang Yifeng, and Zhang Tianai immediately said, "I will follow your arrangements."

Naza was puzzled and asked, "Then why did you call me here?"

The question was a bit impolite, but Mu Di didn't mind. She smiled and explained, "President Jiang thinks that 101 is a girl group audition, and only three people can form a group. He said that Nazha is enthusiastic, generous, and has a great vision, so he should join."

The three of you will form the "Hot Love" group, with Nazar as the leader.

Hearing this, Naza couldn't suppress her smile; her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

"The older man still seems to favor me!"

Naza thought to himself, but said loudly, "I will obey orders!"

Mu Di nodded and continued, "This is just the company's initial plan. Next, the company will do some groundwork and publicity for the establishment of Hot Love. You just need to cooperate appropriately."

Your main focus right now should be preparing for the final performance and securing your debut cards.

"No problem, we'll definitely work hard!"

Naza immediately took on the role of captain and made his commitment on the spot.

Besides feeling sweet, she also felt particularly happy.

"So what if you two are number one and number two in popularity? In the end, I'm still sitting on the sidelines and becoming the captain!"

After leaving the meeting room, Naza couldn't hold back any longer and called Jiang Yifeng directly, inviting him to inspect the training camp.

"Uncle, do you remember our bet?"

"Zhang Tianai has successfully lost weight and truly transformed herself. I lost the bet. Come on, I'm waiting for you with Zhang Tianai~"

Jiang Yifeng checked the time; it was already 10:40 PM. He looked at Gao Yuanyuan and Qin Lan in front of him and asked, "Did Zhang Tianai agree to what you said?"

Naza said, "Oh, right, I'll go ask her!"

Jiang Yifeng patted Gao Yuanyuan's head and said, "No need, I'll talk to her."

It's too late today, I'll go tomorrow night.

Upon hearing this, Naza suddenly shouted.

"Sister Yuanyuan, are you there? Speak up!"

In Naza's view, the timing is not an issue at all.

Jiang Yifeng's unwillingness to come must mean he has other options.

No one answered Naza; there were only sobbing sounds.

Naza understood, and she laughed and cursed, "You old stinky uncle!"

Then hung up the phone.
