Chapter 15 Popularity
Lotto is a well-known video company, and Sakura Entertainment also agreed to cooperate in recording a program about trainees in consideration of Lotto's dissemination and popularity.
Before Leteng's recording staff entered the company, Lu Wenbin and other senior management of the company held two emergency meetings before broadcasting the recording notice to the trainees.
According to the two assessments of the trainees and the comprehensive performance of the trainees, the 28 trainees were divided into four groups of seven to participate in the recording of the program.
The recording cycle is one year, the recording content is the daily life of the trainees, the name of the variety show is "Debut, Sisters", which is exclusively authorized to be broadcast by Leteng APP, and one episode is updated every Sunday, and the trainees signed a one-year recording contract, and finally 14 trainees were voted by the audience.
Since the twenty-eight trainees are all a blank slate in the entertainment industry, no one knows them. In order to increase the popularity of "Let's Make Your Debut, Sisters", a debutant artist will be invited as a mentor in each issue to give lessons to the trainees.
In the first training class, Sakura Entertainment taught its own company's ace artist, Liu Ce, a powerful singer who has debuted for 20 years, to the trainees.
In a week, 28 trainees are required to perform a complete song, including dance, song, teamwork, and more. For trainees who have only been training for half a year, they are under a lot of pressure.
This week, everyone seemed to be "growing" in the training room, practicing day and night in the training room.
Twenty-eight people were divided into four groups of ABCD, Lin Yujie was assigned to group A, and Shi Yu was group D.
Liu Ce can be called an evergreen tree in the entertainment industry, he has been devoting himself to the singing career since his debut for 20 years, and has 100 million fans around the world. Although he has many friends of the opposite sex, he is an unmarried. has no girlfriend, and has achieved zero scandals.
He is an artist who is very strict with himself and his students, and he stopped recording after three days of lessons for his trainees.
"Pause, don't record. Liu Ce's face was very ugly, and he walked out of the training room after speaking.
"Brother Ce, what's wrong?" the on-site director hurriedly trotted to follow.
"The time is too tight, and the students are not in good shape, so I'm going to talk to Wen Bin. ”
"They're working hard, no problem. The director tried to lighten the mood.
"No, I'm not happy with this state. ”
"Brother Ce's like this, we will record for a year, and we will produce a total of 48 episodes. The state and effect of the trainees in the previous batches will definitely not be good, and in a year they will definitely show the perfect stage..."The director explained as he walked.
"I'm their mentor and I'm accountable to them. You are doing this to deceive the audience and entertain the public. You only think about the ratings, do you think about the trainees and the audience friends?"
"Brother Ce, you also understand. At present, there is no program about the debut of trainees in our circle. As long as our program is broadcast, no matter what kind of stage the trainees present, the audience will buy it. Besides, they are also involved in the identity of such a decision-maker as whether the trainee can debut or not, you believe me, it is a win-win thing for the audience and the trainee. ”
"What about me? I've been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and I always start performing after I've been well prepared for every concert. Presenting such a stage to the audience, where is my face?"
The two of them walked towards Lu Wenbin's office while talking, and even after entering, the two of them were still discussing fiercely.
"Brother Ce, the stage performance of the trainees will not have any effect on you. You don't have to worry about what the stage will look like if you're done with the five-day course. ”
"I don't have to worry, since you don't have to worry about the stage effects, you can make up a version and let the trainees play it again. Don't you want to make a fool of yourself? You don't have to go to such trouble, you can just sing and dance indiscriminately. The entertainment effect also came out, the students led by Liu Ce, the audience directly knocked the trainees off the stage, the headlines in the entertainment industry, the popularity is enough, right?" Liu Ce was a little angry, and his face was not good-looking.
"Brother Ce, you can't understand it like that. The on-site director wanted to continue to explain something, but was interrupted by Lu Wenbin.
"Xiaowen, don't talk about it yet, you call Director Wu and ask Director Wu to come over, and I'll talk to Brother Ce. ”
"Well, then you talk first, I'll call Director Wu over. ”
After Director Xiaowen went out of Lu Wenbin's office, Lu Wenbin started talking.
"Brother Ce, you can't afford to be angry with Director Xiaowen. ”
"I really don't understand how young people nowadays are just blindly pursuing popularity and ratings, and not putting the future of trainees first, which is just nonsense. ”
"You, you're still as serious as ever, the current entertainment industry has long changed. The audience has long stopped paying attention to the basic skills of artists, and many artists have no works at all, and they have become popular by hype. Lu Wenbin said with a smile.
"You support them doing this?"
"This is also a way to make a debut, which is a good thing for the company and for the trainees. I'm going to take a gamble. ”
"Wen Bin, Sakura Entertainment has had a good reputation in the entertainment industry for so many years, you don't want to damage the company's image because of temporary interests. ”
"Our company's public relations level is very good, and we will deal with it as soon as possible. Lu Wenbin smiled a little smugly.
"Will it ruin these trainees?"
"Whether they can make their debut or not depends on their own luck, the company just provides a platform to showcase, and gold will shine wherever it rests, right?"
"Wen Bin, you can ask someone else to be a mentor. ”
"Brother Ce, if you take two more days of classes, it will be completed, you don't have to worry too much, the company will settle down. ”
"Can you settle it? I don't want to be in this show, can I settle it?"
Liu Ce's personality is very stubborn, Lu Wenbin was asked for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
"That's it, Brother Ce, you have two more days of class, and I'll let you put a mosaic in the later stage, and do some processing on the voice, so that the audience can guess who the tutor is? This not only increases the mystery of the show, but you don't have to show up. ”
"What if the audience guessed it was me?"
"We won't respond yet, and promise to respond in the last episode. In the last issue, the audience's attention was focused on choosing who would debut in a group, and they forgot about the mysterious mentor. ”
"Hehe, Wen Bin, you should discuss with the company's senior management before making a decision. ”
"Brother Ce, don't worry, it won't affect your acting career, I am responsible for you to the end, and I promise you that it will not affect any positive image of you. ”
When the two were talking, Director Wu Rushi finally came over.
