944. Trainee

"How many trainees are there in our company now?" Nie Wei suddenly asked.

"Last year there were about 100 people, but now I don't know for sure. Luo Kai thought for a while and gave an ambiguous answer, he had been the director of the company's trainee department for a while, so he was no stranger to this department.

But since he stepped down last year, he hasn't paid attention to those children, so he can't be sure about the data.

Fortunately, Nie Wei didn't expect to get an accurate answer from Luo Kai, but he was quite surprised to hear Luo Kai say that the trainee department had a scale of about 100 people.

You must know that Huaxia is not South Korea after all, here in Huaxia, taking the film and television school is the most normal way for ordinary people to become a star, and it is easier for parents to accept.

And the trainee mode is actually not very popular in China, at least so far.

After all, the age of the trainees is probably between the ages of twelve and seventeen, and the children can't stay too early, and if they are too old, they don't have enough time to train.

And this age is the age when the child's ability to receive is the fastest and best.

But at this age, it is also an age when children should go to school, although the agency is not a round-the-clock training, and if it is an art candidate in the school, there will also be a training class, the two actually occupy the child's time is about the same, and in comparison, the brokerage company is more professional, and as long as you are selected, you don't need to pay any fees, and there will even be a certain subsidy.

But for parents, they just feel that sending it to school is more suitable than sending it to a brokerage company, which is also the helplessness faced by Nie Wei and other high-level executives of Huayi when they first recruited trainees, and many potential children are also willing to join the company, but their parents have become an obstacle in the middle, and in the end Huayi can only miss these children.

Nie Wei still remembered that the first batch of trainees only recruited nine people in the end, which was not enough for both hands.

"Huayi's success in the last two years has played a key role, and parents are also a lot more open-minded, plus our training has become more and more professional, many parents are willing to send their children over after seeing it. Luo Kai explained with a smile.

"That's good. Nie Wei nodded with satisfaction.

To put it bluntly, the brokerage company is an alternative talent company, which cultivates the elite of the entertainment industry, and the elite is not just talented and hard-working, he also needs a lot of competitors to promote his growth.

The so-called 'one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither', which is also suitable in the entertainment industry, especially in the circle of trainees, those who can finally come out are all climbed up by stepping on a bunch of people.

And the number of people in this competition is naturally as large as possible.

The car quickly drove to Huayi Company, and Nie Wei and Luo Kai first entered the main building from the underground parking lot, and then came to the annex building through the connecting passage.

When he pushed open the door of the connecting passage, Nie Wei immediately felt an atmosphere different from that of the main building.

Because today is the weekend, it is a relaxed day for ordinary students, but for trainees, today is a day of their hard work.

Because only on holidays, they will practice all day, from 8 o'clock in the morning to 9 o'clock in the evening, the company provides two meals, responsible for the shuttle back and forth, and what these students need is to come to the company, and then practice, non-stop.

Just when Nie Wei came to the annex building, there happened to be a bus carrying trainees to the company, there were about thirty people, and most of them looked like thirteen or fourteen-year-old children, that is, junior high school students.

Naturally, it is impossible for these children to stop together, so they chatter all the way, and occasionally fight, and it is definitely not possible to see such a youthful and energetic scene in the main building.

The staff in the annex building were obviously accustomed to this, and soon someone stood up and urged the children to go to the practice room quickly, and these children were not afraid, and even talked and laughed with the urging staff.

"Eh, who is that?" Suddenly, one of the children in the group pointed to Nie Wei and Luo Kai, who had just walked into the building, and asked curiously.

It's not that he recognized Nie Wei or Luo Kai, after all, it was a little far away, but Nie Wei wore a pair of sunglasses and was dressed very fashionably, even if he just saw a general figure, it really attracted people's attention.

"Is it a big star?" the child's voice quickly aroused the curiosity of his peers, and some people asked questions after reading it.

"It seems to be Nie Wei?" As Nie Wei and Luo Kai got closer and closer, the trainees with good eyesight finally recognized Nie Wei, and after the confirmed answers, the entire trainee team followed the commotion.

Now not to mention that the staff just said a few words to get rid of them, even if they beat them with sticks, they probably don't want to leave.

Although they have seen many big stars in entertainment companies, Nie Wei is the most special in the hearts of these trainees.

Because Nie Wei is not only a big star, he is also very good at styling, like a few precocious girls in this wave of trainees, after seeing Nie Wei coming over, they had already regained their anger from the crazy appearance they had just made, and they all tried hard to raise their heads, hoping to show their best side in front of Nie Wei.

And the boys' eyes looking at Nie Wei are pure worship and desire, Nie Wei is the idol of most of them, and the boys in this group of trainees, when they were asked to choose an idol they wanted to become when they joined the company, Nie Wei was selected with a probability of more than 90%.

"Mr. Nie, hello. The staff member who had just urged the trainees had already trotted two steps to greet Nie Wei's arrival.

Although he was also wondering why the great god of the company suddenly came to the annex building, this did not prevent him from respecting Nie Wei from the bottom of his heart.

After all, Huayi can come to this point, Nie Wei is definitely a great contribution, and as a member of Huayi, he is also the actual beneficiary, and Nie Wei is the best boss in the hearts of these staff.

Nie Wei took off his sunglasses and nodded slightly at the staff member, but his footsteps did not stop, and walked directly in the direction of the elevator, but when he passed by the group of trainees, he still deliberately glanced at it with his eyes.

Nie Wei just looked at it purely, but he made these trainees all subconsciously stand upright, very nervous.

"Come on. Nie Wei nodded slightly, smiled and encouraged, and then walked to the elevator without stopping, and soon disappeared from the sight of this group of trainees.

It's just that this group of trainees stopped in place, and it took a long time to come back to their senses from Nie Wei's glance and the sound of 'come on'.

"Nie Wei told me to come on, right?"

"Don't be narcissistic, when he told me, I saw his eyes looking at me. ”

"Ah, Nie Wei is so handsome and has the aura of a friend, I don't dare to move when he looks at me. ”

"You're too cowardly, I at least dared to move my eyes when Nie Wei looked over. ”

When the group of children came back to their senses, the noise was immediately countless times louder than when they first entered the door, and it was obvious that they needed to raise their voices to vent their surprise at meeting Nie Wei early in the morning.

The staff who urged them just now didn't rush at this time, and looked at this group of children with a smile and discussed excitedly, he understood the hearts of this group of children at this time, after all, when he first entered Huayi Company, he was also in this state when he saw a big star.

Although Nie Wei has stepped down from the position of president of Huayi Records, and only retains the position of honorary general counsel, the only office on the top floor is still reserved for Nie Wei.

Nie Wei took Luo Kai to this office, and while resting, he asked Luo Kai to ask the staff if Alan had arrived at the company.

"The staff said Alain arrived half an hour ago. Luo Kai reported.

"Where is she?"

"In the trainee room, he said that he was chatting with the group of trainees. Luo Kai replied with a strange face, after all, a top singer chatting with a group of trainees who don't even have a guarantee of debut, can they really have a common topic?

"Then let's go check it out. After listening to this, Nie Wei was quite interested, put down the mineral water he drank in his hand, stood up and said.

Since Nie Wei had spoken, of course Luo Kai would not object to anything, and led Nie Wei towards the practice room reported by the staff.

Huayi Records has a total of five trainees, corresponding to the five levels of ABCDE trainees, such as the practice room on the first floor is specially prepared for A-level trainees, which is also the privilege of A-level trainees, they can practice without going upstairs as soon as they arrive at the company.

In addition, the lounge, restaurant, small supermarket and other amenities are set up on the first floor, and it is obvious that A-level trainees enjoy the greatest convenience.

In the future, the lower the level of the trainee, the higher the floor where his practice room is located, for example, the E-level trainee practice room is located on the fifth floor.

In addition, trainees are not allowed to do elevators to go upstairs, so E-level trainees have to climb five floors every day to get to their practice room.

Of course, to a certain extent, this allows E-level trainees to stay in the practice room more to practice, after all, although the five-story building does not seem to be high, it is also very tiring if you climb too diligently.

This kind of hierarchical system has been reported to the company by parents, and it is not one or two who express their dissatisfaction, they all feel that their children have suffered unfair treatment in Huayi, but in the face of these complaints, Huayi Company has no intention of changing the system.

And this attitude is a very correct and wise decision in Nie Wei's opinion.

After all, the entertainment industry itself is a hierarchical circle, at least in the brokerage company, Huayi can also give these children a level playing field, and they only need to rely on their strength to speak.

If you don't even feel satisfied with this, then Nie Wei thinks that these parents should take their children away as soon as possible, because they are not suitable for the entertainment industry at all.

Alain's location is naturally on the ground floor.

There are more than 100 trainees in the company, but there are only fifteen places for A-level trainees, which are fixed, and who is up and down is decided through monthly scoring.

Therefore, A-level trainees seem to have unlimited scenery here, but they are also the most stressful.

After all, everyone knows that becoming an A-level trainee has the greatest possibility of debut, so for these fifteen positions, everyone definitely wants to squeeze into them when they sharpen their heads, and the trainees who occupy these fifteen positions not only have to compete with each other, but also resist the positions of the trainees below, and the pressure during this period can be imagined.

When Nie Wei arrived, Alan was chatting with the A-level trainees.

Nie Wei stood at the door and listened for a while, probably talking about some interesting things about Alain's debut, Nie Wei also understood what Alan meant, she wanted to tell these A-level trainees some knowledge and truth in the entertainment industry through these stories.

After all, this group of children is the most promising to make their debut, and they are also the most promising people who can become Alain's younger brothers and sisters.

Nie Wei listened for a while, and quickly shifted his attention to this group of trainees, and soon, he discovered something very interesting.

There were more than fifteen trainees in the practice room, and there were a few people who were obviously older and looked more like high school students or even college students.

"Who is the girl with the double ponytail sitting in the last row?" Nie Wei pulled Luo Kai and pointed through the small window of the door.

"Which?ah...!She's not the new supergirl recruited by the company this year... No, it should be a happy female voice, her name is Liu Xiyun. Luo Kai followed Nie Wei's fingers and saw the girl in the crowd who was obviously a head taller than others, and after thinking for a long time, he finally remembered who this was.

"Happy Girl"?" Nie Wei began to recall, and slowly had an impression in his mind.

This show is actually the revised version of "Super Girl", but it was renamed for many reasons, but the mode is still the same model, but Supergirl has been here for one session, and her influence is not as good as before.

Nie Wei couldn't even remember who was in the top three of this year's Supergirl, let alone ten years earlier, he remembered that a girl named Yu Kewei sang very well, but her temper was very stubborn.

As for this Liu Xiyun, he only had a vague impression, as if he had heard of this name, but he couldn't remember her ranking or anything.

"Fifth place. Luo Kai replied very simply this time.

"What about the top four, I remember that there is one named Yu Kewei, has the company tried to dig it?" Nie Wei asked casually.

"Yu Kewei She had already signed a contract with Rolling Stone when we contacted us, as for the top three, they had already been won by Tianyu, only this Liu Xiyun fell to the fifth place because she refused the contract of a certain company, and joined Huayi under the persuasion of our staff. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Kai didn't forget to add: "By the way, she was a debut singer before participating in Supergirl, and she also released two albums, of course, they are not popular, and they have not sold 10,000 copies together, what really makes her famous is this happy girl." ”

"Oh. Nie Wei nodded and didn't ask any further.

And Luo Kai saw that Nie Wei was not interested in listening, so he quickly stopped his mouth and quietly accompanied Nie Wei, waiting for Nie Wei to ask at any time.

Just when Nie Wei was 'peeking' Alan talking with these trainees, a staff member happened to pass by, and when he saw Nie Wei, he was stunned at first, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and finally confirmed that the person standing at the door of the practice room was really Nie Wei.

"Nie is always good!" I don't know if it's too surprised or nervous, anyway, the staff's greeting was so loud that everyone in the practice room heard it.

Almost instantly, everyone in the practice room had their eyes on the door.
