This director lacks vision.

Chapter 154 You shouldn't learn this.
Following Yuan Li was Zhong Xintong.

The show "Sisters Who Make Waves" is all about authenticity, and online variety shows also have a lot of daring content.

The staff member asked directly, "The photo scandal has had the biggest impact on you. Where do you think you went wrong?"

"I was so stupid. I won't take photos again if I go on a date or fall in love next time."

Actually, I also feel very wronged. After all, I was in a serious relationship. I didn't cheat or have an affair, and I wasn't being promiscuous. I was just trying to please my boyfriend.

But after the incident was exposed, I received the most criticism.

As she spoke, Zhong Xintong started to cry.

The staff member added, "But your previous image was that of a pure and innocent girl, which creates a huge contrast."

And since you've been hiding your relationship all along, isn't this sudden revelation hurtful to your fans?

"Yes, I want to take this opportunity to apologize to... to the audience. I hope you can forgive me..."

This Q&A session was actually pre-planned, as Jiang Yifeng was giving Yin Huang face and helping Zhong Xintong clean up a little.

It's a pity she didn't seize the opportunity, or perhaps she wasn't as thick-skinned as Cecilia Cheung.

The performance in this scene was not good enough; the emotions and pacing were off, and a lot of the lines in the script were missed, which made it a bit of a letdown.

After getting off the bus, Zhong Xintong saw the name "Ai Jie" and wanted to bravely fight back against the ridicule just like Zhang Tianai, so she chose this group.

She was quite surprised to see that her agent was Zhang Tianai.

The two engaged in an awkward conversation.

After Zhong Xintong, the other sisters appeared one by one.

These people can be roughly divided into three categories:
One type is those who cultivate a unique persona and speak boldly, such as Chen Zihan, Zhang Yan, and Zheng Xiuzhen;

One type is the moderates, whose words and actions are quite polite and not very interesting. They may still be pretending, such as Vivian Chow and Kim Hee-sun.

The last type is those who remain calm and composed, taking a detached approach to criticism, such as Liu Xiaoli, He Saifei, and Li Lingyu. They did not immediately attack anyone, but instead demonstrated the composure of senior figures.

After all the contestants had made their appearances, the blind selection group results were announced.

Dilraba's "Order First" group: Tian Zhen, Li Xiaoran, Chen Xiuli, Huo Siyan, Xue Jianing;

Naza's "Gu Jian Nan Chun" group: Qin Lan, Li Xiaolu, Yuan Li, Pan Meichen, Lin Xiangping;

Zhang Tianai's "Sister Love" group: Zhou Huimin, Zhong Xintong, Kim Hee-sun, Fann Wong, Zhang Tong;
Liu Yifei's "Soaring to the Sky" group: He Saifei, Guo Feili, Ah Sa, Choo Ja-hyun, Zhang Yan;
Shu Chang's "Smooth Five Groups": Liu Xiaoli, Zuo Xiaoqing, He Qing, Lin Jing, Zheng Xiuzhen;
Jing Tian's "Bai Sui Shan" group: Li Lingyu, Jia Jingwen, Wen Bixia, Zhang Qiang, Chen Zihan.

This grouping is basically random and will be adjusted and swapped later.

Today's recording mainly consisted of the sisters' on-stage interviews and blind audition group assignments.

After being divided into groups, everyone discussed their respective programs, and then the event ended. They began recording some additional footage for the promotional video.

The initial stage performances were recorded on October 5th, and each sister performed a 3-minute segment individually, without any teamwork involved.

In addition, there were no scoring or group leader selection processes today, so the overall atmosphere was alright.

Although there have been some minor frictions, things haven't escalated too much.

……

At 9 p.m. on October 2, Meng Ziyi had a big meal with his parents outside and rushed home.

Amidst her mother's scolding, she jogged back to her room.

Her room was decorated in pink, and there was a poster on the wall that was a group photo taken when the group was formed from Produce 101.

This group photo is a bit special because Nazha, who is in the center, is half-squatting, and Jiang Yifeng is standing behind Nazha, in the middle of the 101 girl group.

He wore his own sunglasses, exuding a natural boss-like aura; he was both handsome and cool.

Meng Ziyi particularly likes the feel of this photo.

She picked up her phone and looked at it, only to find that Jiang Yifeng hadn't replied to her message. She sighed.

Then I turned on my computer, logged into the Sohu video website, and saw a preview of "Sisters Who Make Waves" on the homepage.

Meng Ziyi quickly clicked on it, and after an advertisement, she saw a barrage of comments: "High energy ahead", "A masterpiece ahead", "Tears in my eyes", "Listen again".

Her curiosity was immediately piqued.

Then I heard a slow, low melody.

As the melody played, subtitles appeared on the screen.

The Hill

Lyrics and music: Jiang Yifeng;
Performers: Jiang Yifeng, Tian Zhen;
Performers: All guests of Sisters Who Make Waves.

The camera pans to Jiang Yifeng, who is wearing headphones and standing in the recording studio, singing into the microphone: "There's still so much I want to say but haven't said yet~"
I'm saving these up because I want to write them into a song, so people can sing them softly and remember them gently.
Even if I eventually forget, it'll be worth it~

Tian Zhen sang: "Perhaps all the little thoughts I have in my life will, by chance, converge into a river..."

As the two singers sang, the various sisters from "Sisters Who Make Waves" began to appear in the frame.

The first scene shown was of Liu Xiaoli dancing at the Jiangcheng Opera House when she was young, followed by footage of her teaching Liu Yifei to dance and watching Liu Yifei grow up.

Liu Xiaoli shook her long water sleeves, the camera focused on the sleeves, and when it came back down, Liu Xiaoli was already standing on the stage of Sisters Who Make Waves.

Next came He Qing's classic scenes from the Four Great Classical Novels, as well as her changes in real life. She showed the staff a short Kunqu Opera excerpt and took small steps all the way to the Sisters Who Make Waves stage.

Zhou Huimin, Li Lingyu, Zhang Qiang...

Every sister has experienced her youth and had her own highlight moments in life.

Even in the prime of life, one cannot escape the erosion of time.

With the background music of "The Hill" playing, their beauty could only be seen on camera.

Even 15-year-old Meng Ziyi couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat while listening to "The Hill" and watching this promotional video, experiencing the ruthlessness of time and the helplessness of life.

"Over the hills!"
Although my hair has turned white~
chatter!

The sorrow of time slipping away...

The theme song was played three times, and the promotional video was a bit long, 11 minutes long, to accommodate all the sisters.

But Meng Ziyi didn't find it boring at all.

She was young and didn't pay much attention to the show "Sisters Who Make Waves" until Jiang Yifeng made her want to watch it.

But at this moment, through her blurry tears, she directly felt the passage of time and deeply empathized with her sisters.

When He Saifei was the last to step onto the stage, all 30 sisters had gathered.

Subtitles appear:

Dreams are not limited by age.

Even though youth will eventually fade away
We can still ride the waves!

Upon seeing the show's declaration again, Meng Ziyi finally gained a profound understanding.

The same applies to bullet comments.

"I finally understand the meaning of the Sisters Who Make Waves declaration!"

"Director Jiang is awesome; he made the show stand out with just one song, 'Hill'."

"I'm only 20 years old, why am I crying when I hear 'The Hill'?"

"Because we are all afraid of aging, and we cannot escape aging, crossing the hill is our inevitable path."

"Go, sisters! I hope you can defy the ravages of time and shine on stage once again."

"Go, sisters! I want to see myself shining just like you when I'm over 30, so I won't be afraid of growing old anymore." ...

Meng Ziyi also sent a comment: "Go, sisters!"

She continued watching the preview, and unexpectedly, there was another surprise.

The show "Sisters Who Make Waves" has six managers, including her favorite hot and sexy group, and even the ethereal Liu Yifei!
Shu Chang and Meng Ziyi also knew that they were not familiar with Jing Tian.

After watching the promotional video and seeing the six youthful and energetic managers, Meng Ziyi thought that Sisters Who Make Waves was a passionate and inspirational program, somewhat similar to Produce 101.

Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn for the better.

The sisters displayed their unique talents during the interviews, and their interactions with each other were filled with sarcastic remarks.

If the content Jiang Yifeng saw during the recording of the program was 60 points in terms of drama, then after post-production editing, with the addition of various voice-overs, subtitles, and background music, the drama level was pushed to the maximum.

The show features both hilarious moments like Tian Zhen's "Damn it!" and Qin Lan's "I'm giving up," as well as various scheming and backstabbing maneuvers among the sisters.

Meng Ziyi sometimes felt very embarrassed, so embarrassed that she wanted to scratch her toes, but she also found it very enjoyable to watch and couldn't stop.

The 90-minute preview was watched in no time.

She opened the comments section and found it was full of positive reviews.

"This is the most authentic program I've ever seen. Just the pilot episode reminded me of the classic story of four girls in a dormitory forming a group of five. I hope the program maintains this style and continues the scheming and intrigue!"

"I feel embarrassed for the older women, but at the same time I think it's really good and I want to see something more exciting. What's going on?"

"There are too few preview clips! Update the full movie quickly, I want to watch the full movie!"

"I suggest everyone go to Weibo to follow the gossip, especially to read Li Xiaoran's Weibo posts, so that you can truly understand the essence of this show."

Upon seeing this comment, Meng Ziyi opened Li Xiaoran's Weibo homepage and saw the Weibo post she made yesterday.

It now has over 70 likes and nearly 8 comments.

"It turns out that the wicked mother-in-law Li Xiaoran was talking about was Tian Zhen, and the silly child was Dilraba. But after watching the show, I don't think there's anything wrong with them."

"Tian Zhen has a fiery temper and is straightforward; she's even willing to throw down the microphone. Dilraba is just trying to curry favor with someone powerful. On the other hand, Li Xiaoran is a bit of a green tea bitch; she doesn't dare to argue on the show, but she goes to Weibo to be sarcastic and mean."

"Didn't you guys notice? Chen Xiuli and Huo Siyan both liked Li Xiaoran's Weibo post! Holy crap, these two were behaving very well on the show, constantly saying they supported Tian Zhen as the team leader!"

"Xue Jianing didn't like Li Xiaoran's Weibo post, but she liked Li Xiaolu's Weibo post!"

"They're all scheming bitches. The 'Order First' group is completely disorderly. Tian Zhen can't control these older women. It's really hard to say who the group leader is."

"It's all a mess! Everything's a mess! Haha, it's more fun when it's a complete chaos!"

"Sisters Who Make Waves, please update the full episodes soon! I want to see how Dilraba's team chooses its leader!"

Meng Ziyi read through these comments and found them increasingly interesting.

She then opened Li Xiaolu's Weibo and found that Li Xiaolu had indeed reposted Li Xiaoran's Weibo post, adding, "I completely understand Sister Xiaoran. It's fine to be straightforward, but you also need to be considerate of other people's feelings. Teacher Tian Zhen, please be more polite, thank you!"

The post on her Weibo account also included a picture of Qin Lan with her hands outstretched, saying "I'm giving up".

However, the photo that Li Xiaolu screenshotted was taken from the wrong angle; Qin Lan's nostrils were pointing towards the camera, making her look a bit unattractive.

This Weibo post was published precisely at 8 PM.

It's currently trending at number one, with over 20 likes.

Qin Lan also replied to the post on Weibo: "Thank you so much, could you please replace it with a nicer photo of me first?"

Li Xiaolu replied to Qin Lan: "Okay, big sister, I'll change it right away."

But nothing has happened yet, and the ugly photos are still up.

Netizens are having a blast watching this drama unfold!
"Holy crap, Li Xiaolu is the real master. First, she stirred up trouble between Li Xiaoran and Tian Zhen, disrupting the order of Dilraba's group, and then she turned around and disgusted her own boss."

"Interesting, really interesting! The entertainment industry is only interesting when there's a lot of drama!"

"Sisters Who Make Waves should be more entertaining than Guo Degang's battle with Beijing TV and Feng Xiaogang's verbal sparring with Sun Haiying. Those shows lacked technical sophistication, while this show is all about details and execution!"

"I think Li Xiaolu is a great person; she has always supported Qin Lan."

“I also think Li Xiaolu is fine. The sisters have a very deep friendship, which is why they dare to post ugly photos as a joke.”

"That's right, Li Xiaolu is the best! Post more on Weibo, we support you!"

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

There are still many people on Weibo supporting Li Xiaolu.

After all, Li Xiaolu's attacks were not made public. Some people were simply naive, some liked Li Xiaolu, and others were deliberately pretending to be fans.

Each platform has its own advantages.

Watching drama and arguments on Weibo is the most appropriate way to spend your time.

Shows like "Sisters Who Make Waves" are only interesting when paired with Weibo.

Meng Ziyi also experienced this charm.

She clicked on Tian Zhen's Weibo with high expectations, only to find that it was all official content promoting Sisters Who Make Waves.

There is no one of their own.

It's clear that Tian Zhen herself doesn't use Weibo.

Since the parties involved in the dispute didn't get involved, Meng Ziyi felt that this was just scratching the surface and wasn't enough, so he sent a message to Jiang Yifeng.

[Dear and great President Jiang, could you please allow Tian Zhen to use Weibo? Li Xiaoran is making sarcastic remarks about her, and she's not even fighting back?]

About 10 minutes later, Jiang Yifeng replied:

My wish will be granted, but you must promise me one thing.

【What's up? 】

Don't try to copy what the older women are doing.

Don't worry, I'm a straightforward person from Northeast China; I couldn't learn that even if I wanted to.

[OK, Tian Zhen will post on Weibo tonight, just wait and see.]

The program team had communicated with Tian Zhen in advance about the timing of her Weibo posts.

Meng Ziyi was unaware of this tactic; she still thought Jiang Yifeng had genuinely allowed Tian Zhen to use Weibo for her sake.

The little girl was deeply moved and felt a strong sense of accomplishment.

At 11 p.m., Tian Zhen updated her Weibo account on time.

"After crossing the hill, I found no one waiting!"
"Hills" is the best song I've heard in recent years.

I am grateful to director Jiang Yifeng for inviting me to sing this song with him.

Time is merciless; beauty fades with age.

People will always get old.

But classic works will not.

A hundred years from now, people will still be singing "The Hill".

But no one will remember Li Xiaoran, Li Daran, Li Xiaolu, or Li Dalu.

As artists, we should let our work speak for itself!
