Chapter 144: Losing at the starting line

After ending the interview and sending Ni Hongjie away, Xiao Huixing rushed to him and said: "Cut it out and definitely blow it up!"

Ning Yuan smiled, he quite enjoyed this feeling, facing all kinds of guests, listening to them share stories from all walks of life, it was really interesting.

Suddenly, the director ran over and said to Ning Yuan with a smile: "It's still early, I happen to have a friend who came out of the draft, why don't you Teacher Ning?"

Ning Yuan frowned, it doesn't matter if he interviews one more, he came anyway, but everyone he saw called the teacher......

Seeing that he agreed, the director rushed to arrange, and Liu Yutong also followed. Xiaohui came to her office first, although the place was not big, but it was very warm.

"Do you know how many people envy me?" Xiaohui knew that Ning Yuan liked to drink tea, so she took out the Longjing that had been prepared a long time ago, and said with a smile: "Behind my back, they all said that I was lucky to meet you baby." ”

Ning Yuan laughed, recalling the experience of most of the year, the ups and downs were like a dream.

While drinking tea and chatting, the director ran over for half an hour to say that the person had arrived, and returned to the recording studio to meet a young man in his early twenties.

"His name is Lu Siheng, and he was the twelfth in the creation camp last year. After the director finished the introduction, he teased: "This is Lao Tie, you can ask anything, Teacher Ning is not polite." ”

Ning Yuan nodded, in fact, he was quite curious about the so-called idol artists, after all, Liu Yutong was still separated by a layer, and it was rare to have the opportunity to ask in person.

"As soon as the draft ended last year, I received a lot of private messages, and some fans complained about why a big-name backpack was used for three months in a row?"

"Why are you so low, how long does it take for a bag?"

Lu Siheng said indignantly: "I feel contempt, I feel hurt, but I am powerless to change. Because in this industry, I really don't have enough money. ”

Ning Yuan once heard Liu Yutong say that there are three points where an idol is most often scolded: ugly, poor, and low.

As long as what you're wearing isn't high fashion, it's low!

"We trainees are sometimes close, living in the dormitory together, and occasionally changing clothes. The children of rich families have a lot of brand-name clothes, which also gives fans the illusion that the trainees are rich?"

"At that time, I was still very naΓ―ve, thinking that fans liked white, very bitter, and hard-working characters?"

"Trainees began to feel pressure, or rent, borrow, or buy, or even wear fakes, but they also had to find a way to maintain the rich and noble persona, at least in front of fans. ”

"Look at Huang Minghao, Zhu Zhengting, Wang Ziyi, Zhou Zhennan, He Luoluo, Yan Xujia, or Yu Shuxin, Zhao Xiaotang ...... now"

The wealth story behind everyone is circulating in the fandom, and the arrogance that my brother will go back to inherit the family property if he doesn't work hard is talked about......

Ning Yuan didn't expect the other party to be so direct, maybe he was completely disheartened, so he dared to tell the truth?

The booming idol market is like a high-speed centrifuge, throwing out those young people who are not strong enough from the system. Now what fans like to see is the chic of the showbiz of Kuo Shao's dream.

As for the inspirational stories of having a tragic life experience and living in the basement by selling bars and singing all the way all the way like more than ten years ago, it seems that there are very few in the idol industry.

Wealth itself has become the biggest reason for attracting attention in this era.

"Hey, I remember last year when I wore round-rimmed glasses and knee pads on my legs, packing my bags on the dormitory Chase bunk, pessimistically predicting that I would be eliminated from the card slot. ”

"Put all the mask samples that advertisers put in the dormitory in their backpacks, and aspire to be the twelfth with the most commercial value!"

"Isn't it funny, you say?"

"My mom thinks it's not a good job to be an idol and tells me not to get a penny from her. It didn't cost much to learn to dance at the earliest, because of good popularity, it was enough to follow friends to take lessons. ”

"But when I found that when I wanted to go further and learn something real, I had to face the problem of money. A few hundred yuan for a lesson, five or six thousand yuan for a season card, is already very cheap, and personal training is even more expensive. ”

"Fans are obsessed with shouting and screaming for idols on stage, but the road to shine is inseparable from money. In addition to dance, vocal music "costs 1,000 yuan to 2,000 yuan a lesson", and acting classes "cost 100,000 yuan a quarter." ”

"When I was the poorest, I relied on 200 yuan for a month's meal, but fortunately I sent a lot of sausages at home. ”

Lu Siheng drank saliva and continued: "For a long time, my basic understanding of price was rent: after a travel variety show, the labor fee of the whole season can pay three months' rent. ”

Half of the monthly subsidy for signing a new company can be used to pay rent, and when he sees someone on social media picking up the same clothes from other idols, his first reaction is that it is enough for me to pay the rent for a few months......"

I still remember the price that shocked me, more than 5,000 for a pair of pants and 30,000 or 40,000 for a coat!

Ning Yuan sighed, in any game, RMB players are in easy mode.

One mask a day, 60 or 70 yuan, 2,000 yuan for basic care once a month in a beauty salon, 30,000 yuan for Thermage, one year for one year, 20,000 yuan for gold microneedling, and at least 20,000 yuan for 10 times of orthopedic treatment......

The life of idols needs to be glamorous all the time, and they must maintain a very superior appearance and demeanor from beginning to end. In this society, if you want to be beautiful, you have to be rich, you need money to cut your hair, and you need money if you want to look good......

"The circle of trainees is rich in different levels, from ordering takeout without thinking about delivery fees, to buying luxury goods without considering budget, and the highest level is not caring about the termination fee. ”

"Some of the people in my dormitory love to tinker with jewelry, and some people can cover all expenses by relying on fund management every month, not to mention Zhou Zhennan, Yu Shuxin, Zhao Xiaotang and other players who rely on the label of wealth and family background to get out of the circle. ”

Ning Yuan heard Liu Yutong complain, what kind of youth has you When the contestant made his debut, the man named Yu Shuxin appeared on the hot search with a set of private clothes worth more than 200,000 yuan.

In contrast, the Disney princess dresses of the four sisters are so cheap that they seem to be rented from a photo studio.

Another popular player, Zhao Xiaotang, on the night of the finals, was directly on the hot search because of his mother's good maintenance and the diamond ring on his left hand shining when he hid his face and cried?

The difference in family background is infinitely magnified in the idol industry. Young people standing on the same stage and doing the same actions face very different situations in reality. Some people are born with the right to dream, while others have to pay a high cost for their dreams.

"During the recording of last year's audition, everyone was sitting together watching a dance video on their iPads, and suddenly they saw Brian Puspos, a famous global top dancer and choreographer, and everyone was very excited. ”

"I want to show off that I took lessons with SM when he was a trainee. At that time, the company would regularly invite top dancers from Europe and the United States to teach trainees, once every two months, and each class lasted for two hours. ”

As a result, before I could say anything, a trainee from a very good family suddenly said: I have practiced with him, and I am too tired. ”

Lu Siheng sighed: "Later, I found out that people have taken classes with many masters, and I never thought that I could invite the master to come to study at home?"
