This director lacks vision.

Chapter 326 The Best Benefits
Once he had an idea in mind, Wang Sicong's expression changed.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yifeng retorted, "What, do you have a problem with that?"

Wang Sicong forced a standard smile and quickly said, "Oh, no way, I'm so grateful."

On another note, you're complaining that Bae Joo-hyun is too old. Does this mean this year's Produce 101 girl group is going to follow the SNH48 model, using a selection and training system?

In the past two years, there have been more idol groups in mainland China, with companies like Siba Media and TF Entertainment starting to make efforts in this area.

Jiang Yifeng shook his head and said, "The rejuvenation of girl groups is inevitable and has nothing to do with the format."

SNH48 is modeled after AKB48 from Japan, using fan economy to increase fan loyalty.

This model can cultivate a lot of die-hard fans, but it is difficult to expand the circle and increase influence.

The 101 girl group relies on the production and packaging capabilities of our Fengxing Media; there's no need for them to take such a limiting route.

Wang Sicong sighed, "To put it bluntly, it's because Uncle Jiang can write songs, Fengxing Media has promotional channels such as Weibo, plus the brand effect of Produce 101, making it easy to promote a girl group."

Jiang Yifeng didn't pick up on Wang Sicong's topic, but instead said, "Actually, SNH48's model is very suitable for your Panda TV."

Wang Sicong sat up straight and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The live streaming platform hosts are very similar to the idols of SNH48. They frequently interact with fans and rely on fans to spend money to increase their exposure and income."

The more money fans spend, the higher their sunk costs, and the higher their loyalty to the streamer and idol.

You can also learn from the SNH48 model and organize fan rankings and streamer PKs on live streaming platforms to stimulate viewers' desire to consume.

You could even organize a selection competition within Panda TV, with hundreds of female anchors competing against each other, and the winners receiving high prize money and top-tier contract benefits.

The current lax censorship standards mean that female live streamers can afford to be unrestrained.

You need to seize the opportunity, generate the data and revenue figures, and go public within two years to make a quick profit and secure your funds.

Upon hearing Jiang Yifeng's suggestion, Wang Sicong remained silent.

He was very enthusiastic about Panda TV, believing it to be a long-term business. He also envisioned improving the basic services, defeating YY TV, and then reaping the market share.

Jiang Yifeng offered a couple of reminders, but didn't offer any further advice.

Two more students from the Shanghai Theatre Academy showed up at the audition. They performed well overall, but their appearances were not particularly distinctive.

It wasn't until number 45 that Chen Duling came out.

By this time, she had already gained some fame.

In March of this year, Chen Duling won first place on the "Goddess Ranking" of the beauty comparison website Facejoking with just an ID photo.

Truly beautiful women don't need much makeup; their ID photos are their passport to beauty.

Today, Chen Duling continued to express her own style, dressed simply and with a simple ponytail. She looked like a pure white flower, radiating a fresh and natural beauty.

She truly deserves the title of "school beauty".

Wang Sicong exclaimed, "Girls like this should be in school; this is when they are at their most beautiful."

Seeing her reminds me of the "Milk Tea Sister" from a few years ago. I hope she doesn't follow in her footsteps; her constant hype is tiresome.

Some say the rise to fame of "Milk Tea Sister" was a carefully orchestrated publicity stunt, while others say it was an accident.

But her actions after becoming famous were definitely a publicity stunt.

One minute they say Zhang Yimou approached her to film "The Flowers of War," but she refused; the next minute they're marketing her as a top student from Tsinghua University.

In reality, the female lead in "The Flowers of War" was a prostitute. Zhang Yimou must have gone mad to cast Zhang Zetian (Milk Tea Sister) to play a prostitute.

As for the academic high-achiever, that's even more ridiculous. Milk Tea was a student with special talents, but she failed quite a few courses in college.

Recently, with the start of Produce 101 Season 2, Milk Tea stated in an interview that the Produce 101 production team had invited her, but she declined.

Anyway, the Milk Tea Sister is now marketing herself as a high-achieving student who looks down on the entertainment industry, and who will not enter the industry if given the opportunity.

This is also the character setting that Jiang Yifeng arranged for Chen Duling.

Wang Sicong said mysteriously, "It is said that the father of the Milk Tea Sister wanted to introduce her to Su Ning and Zhang Kangyang, but she was rejected."

Jiang Yifeng also asked gossipily, "Is the source of this information reliable?"

"It's unreliable. I'm not an idiot. I'm not going to go and ask Zhang Kangyang for confirmation."

Wang Sicong was just gossiping based on hearsay.

There are many rumors about Milk Tea, and some people say that she had an abortion while dating Tao Duping, the president of the Yenching University Student Union, and even photos of her going to the gynecologist have been dug up and posted online.

During this period, Tianya Forum still had a lot of interesting content.

It's hard to tell what's real and what's fake.

Jiang Yifeng smiled with satisfaction as he watched Chen Duling score high marks on her piano performance.

Seeing this, Wang Sicong suddenly asked, "Wait a minute! Chen Duling is also 20 years old, she's not exactly young."

“How can that be the same?” Jiang Yifeng said, “Chen Duling is Chinese, and the 101 girl group won’t choose a Korean woman.”

By 2016, the ban on Korean goods will be implemented.

Choosing Korean women for the 101 girl group is asking for trouble; Jiang Yifeng isn't stupid.

Moreover, the various boy and girl groups formed domestically, including those from China, Japan, South Korea, and Thailand, haven't generated much buzz.

This model won't work.

"So, what are your plans for Bae Joo-hyun?"

“Have her come to Yanjing. We’ll assess her abilities, and if she meets the requirements, we’ll let her join the Crown Group.”

Crown is very popular right now, especially with their song Gangnam Style, which has made them famous in Europe and America.

After the troll incident, the Crown team's members have remained the same for more than two years, and it's time to add some fresh blood.

Bae Joo-hyun was born in 1991, which makes her two years older than Park Ji-yeon, the youngest member of TARUC, making her a suitable age to join the group.

She and Jeon Boram form a pair of short women, both being petite.

Moreover, Bae Joo-hyun has also been embroiled in bullying controversies in the past, which are commonalities.

"Holy crap! Uncle, you're really giving me face! Bae Joo-hyun is going to take off now!"

For Bae Joo-hyun, joining T-ara would definitely be better than joining a second-generation Produce 101 group.

After all, the members of Crown Group are already very popular, so they can easily boost her career.

Of course, the pressure is also relatively greater.

Jiang Yifeng didn't understand what made Wang Sicong so happy. This guy had almost wasted 2000 million, yet he was still so pleased.

All I can say is that Jiang Yifeng has experienced poverty.

Even now that they are very wealthy, they are not so extravagant.

In contrast, Wang Sicong, a rich second-generation, casually gives away cars worth millions; the two men's mindsets are indeed very different.

After seeing that Chen Duling performed well, Jiang Yifeng stopped watching and got up to leave.

The auditions lasted all day, and Chen Duling and Wang Churan both advanced.

The elimination of Bae Joo-hyun, who was highly favored by the audience, was a major upset.

The live stream sparked heated discussions, and the related topic even trended on Weibo.

Bae Joo-hyun was also very surprised. She felt that she had performed exceptionally well, and with Wang Sicong's guarantee, she was certain to advance. After being eliminated, she immediately called Wang Sicong.

With the help of a translator, Bae Joo-hyun understood what Wang Si-cong meant.

He has a very close relationship with Jiang Yifeng and arranged a better opportunity for Bae Joo-hyun.

Wang Sicong didn't specify what kind of opportunity it was.

The next morning, Bae Joo-hyun hurriedly flew to Yanjing.

She arrived at 10:30 a.m. and was taken to a classically decorated courtyard house, where she then faced endless waiting.

It wasn't until around 7 p.m. that someone came in.

And it's not just one person.

Lee Qri, Ham Eunjung, Park Hyomin, Park Jiyeon, Park Soyeon, Jeon Boram!

Bae Joo-hyun is very familiar with these people; they are the girl group T-ara, and their popularity is even higher than Girls' Generation right now!
Red Velvet was created as a rival to SM Entertainment, specifically to defeat Crown Entertainment.

Seeing the Crown Group appear here, and recalling Wang Sicong's words, a bold idea began to sprout in Bae Joo-hyun's mind.

She quickly stood up and greeted her seniors.

When Jeon Boram and the other six girls saw that a fellow Korean had arrived, and that she was quite beautiful, they immediately understood.

The company mentioned at the beginning of the year that they might add two or three new members to the team.

Although the six women did not want new people to join.

After all, newcomers will compete for screen time, resources, and money.

But after the troll incident, they became very cautious, fearing that bullying misunderstandings might occur again.

Therefore, the six women were quite polite to Bae Joo-hyun.

After chatting for a while, Jeon Boram took the initiative to say, "We're running out of time, so we'll go get ready first and won't keep you company."

After saying that, the six women got up and went to the next room.

Only Bae Joo-hyun was left in the hall.

Bae Joo-hyun hesitated for a moment, but still went into the next room, where she saw six seniors dressed in pink and white special nurse uniforms.

She was wearing a nurse's cap, a short skirt, revealing her pale thighs and white stockings.

It looks very tempting.

Bae Joo-hyun's eyes were opened.

She's just a trainee, not qualified to be with chaebols, and hasn't broadened her horizons yet.

Seeing Bae Joo-hyun come in, Jeon Bo-ram asked, "Do you want to join? You're about the same size as me, so you can wear my clothes."

Bae Joo-hyun didn't know how to answer.

She wanted to refuse, but couldn't bring herself to say it, feeling that refusing would mean losing the opportunity to join the Crown Group; she wanted to agree, but was too reserved.

Park Jiyeon is younger and more lively.

She said, "Go ahead and go through the mountains. Don't worry, although it's a bit tiring to accompany the boss, it's very comfortable. We call it the best benefit in the company."

Bae Joo-hyun was stunned and asked for confirmation, "The best benefits?"

Ham Eun-jung replied with a smile, "That's right, it's the best benefit. There are only a few opportunities each year, so we cherish it very much!"

I'll try to spend as many days as possible with the boss this time.

Park Hyomin pinched Ham Eunjung and teased, "You scheming bitch, did you eat vegetarian food for a week, take milk baths every day, and go to beauty salons three times, all for today!"

Ham Eun-jung retorted, "You're no different. You fasted for two days in advance and even got a firming injection. Don't think I don't know!"

Bae Joo-hyun: "..."

In a daze, Bae Joo-hyun changed into her uniform.

At 9 p.m., Jiang Yifeng finished filming Pacific Rim and went to his courtyard house.

Then I saw seven beautiful women already dressed and ready to go.

He watched as Bae Joo-hyun hid among the six seniors, looking at him timidly.

Jiang Yifeng said with a smile, "Not bad, as expected of a trainee with six and a half years of training experience, you've integrated into the group so quickly."

Jeon Boram took Jiang Yifeng's arm and asked affectionately, "Boss, is Bae Joo-hyun our new teammate?"

Hearing this, Bae Joo-hyun was both incredibly nervous and very excited.

This answer will determine her fate.

Jiang Yifeng picked up Quan Baolan in one go; at 1.55 meters tall, she was just the right size to fit in his arms.

Jiang Yifeng kissed Jeon Boram on the cheek, then asked instead of answering, "What do you smell like? It doesn't smell like perfume."

Jeon Boram said smugly, "You'll see in a bit."

A woman with a sense of fun knows how to let a man explore on his own.

Jiang Yifeng was very satisfied. He looked at Bae Joo-hyun, whose smile was not very natural, and said, "We do plan to let you join the Crown Group, but we still need to observe you for a while."

Bae Joo-hyun asked instinctively, "Does tonight count as an assessment?"

Before Jiang Yifeng could answer, Li Juli, who hadn't mentioned paying back yet, said, "Of course it doesn't count, I already said tonight is a perk!"

Bae Joo-hyun thought her seniors were all crazy, not quite right in the head, and that being played by men was a perk for them.

In order to join the Crown Group, she had no choice but to endure it.

But soon, Bae Joo-hyun changed her mind; the game seemed really fun.

After watching Jiang Yifeng finish playing the role of a patient seeking medical treatment, he started playing a game of archery on a spinning wheel, and she joined in...

Both being former trainees from Korea, Bae Joo-hyun's joining THUANGUAN was quite smooth.

However, fans of the Crown group are very wary of Bae Joo-hyun, fearing that she might be another troll.

Regardless, this is a golden opportunity for Bae Joo-hyun to rise to the top.

Even before any joint performances, Bae Joo-hyun's popularity has already increased significantly.

Jiang Yifeng did not pay much attention to this situation.

He filmed during the day and played games with the Crown Group at night, living a very comfortable life.

By June 22, after the preliminary results of the Chengdu division were released, all 101 contestants of the Produce 101 Season 6 training camp had been assembled.

Jiang Yifeng glanced at the list and saw that, in addition to Cheng Xiao, Yang Chaoyue, Wang Churen, and Chen Duling, whom he already knew, there were many other familiar names.

Zhou Ye, Bai Mengyan, Zhang Ruonan, Hanikezi, Liang Jingxian, Dou Jingtong, Zhou Jieqiong, Tan Yongwen, Wu Jiayi...

This group includes trainees, models, and people with connections.

It can only be said that there is always only one group of people involved in the arts. It is perfectly normal to select more than 100 people from a certain age group and have familiar faces among them.

Jiang Yifeng didn't use any special filters; he simply explained Mu Di's hype surrounding Chen Duling before continuing filming Pacific Rim.
