Entertainment: Top players who started out as trainees

Chapter 19 The struggles of the production team & Ning Luo's insights from digging a well
Although he used a question sentence, there was no hesitation or uncertainty in Zhang Yixing's tone.

Cheng Xiao immediately responded, "I will definitely give it an A. Ning Luo's performance really amazed me."

After saying that, he nodded his head seriously, his face full of seriousness.

The other three mentors also gave their own evaluations.

"A."

"That's all, A."

"If this isn't an A, then I don't think we'll be able to pick any A's today."

The director outside the camera lowered his head and looked at Ning Luo's information silently, his brows furrowed.

This is trouble.

Ning Luo's performance was a little too outstanding, so outstanding that it far exceeded their expectations.

During the preliminary selection, they chose Ning Luo because of his outstanding appearance, excellent singing skills, and relatively poor dancing level.

Yes, poor dancing skills are also an important point.

They just wanted to use Ning Luo's superior looks to increase the popularity of the program in the early stage, and they had no real plans to let Ning Luo, an individual trainee, debut.

It's just an insignificant chess piece that can be discarded at any time.

A chess piece with weaknesses is the perfect chess piece.

With obvious weaknesses, they have better editing angles and can manipulate Ning Luo's popularity quietly.

They want to keep the IP "Idol Producer" going for a long time, so they have to maintain fairness on the surface and not be too greedy.

At least not in the first season.

Their original plan was to have Cai Xukun, whose strength, appearance, and popularity far surpassed those of other trainees, play the role of the "big devil" and be defeated by other dark horses.

Although the rankings have not yet been determined, the candidates on the dark horse list have been preliminarily selected and discussed.

Therefore, Cai Xukun is the only individual trainee in their minds who has the opportunity to debut.

Of course, it would be even more perfect if there were enough strong dark horses that could squeeze Cai Xukun out of the debut position.

This way they can have one more debut spot and get greater benefits from other brokerage companies.

But this hope is not great.

If you want to portray Cai Xukun as the "Big Devil", you naturally have to give him enough positive shots to help him sit firmly on the throne of the "Big Devil" in the early and middle stages.

But no one expected that the plan that was originally going perfectly would be disrupted by an unexpected factor like Ning Luo.

Unexpected creative ability.

Unexpected learning ability.

Unexpected stage presence.

In just a few days, Ning Luo's overall strength was no less than Cai Xukun's.

Judging from the comments of several mentors, Ning Luo might even be slightly better.

Cai Xukun’s only advantage is that he has a more solid popularity foundation than Ning Luo.

This has somewhat affected the scripts planned by the program team for the trainees.

Normally, what they should do now is to reduce Ning Luo's shots and lower his presence.

But based on the first two episodes that have been edited, Ning Luo’s shots and program effects are very good.

And I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but the show effects Ning Luo created were almost all complete from beginning to end, as complete as a script!
There is also an extremely strong sense of contrast in the middle, which arouses the audience's desire to continue watching.

With his many years of experience in the industry, he knows that these clips will definitely cause some reactions after they are broadcast, and it would be a pity to cut them out.

After thinking for a long time, the director breathed a sigh of relief.

Forget it, let’s leave it this way for now. For now, program quality will be the top priority.

The most important thing is to maintain the IP of "Idol Producer" because it represents a steady stream of income.

It won’t be too late to worry about these things after the show becomes a hit.

He really couldn't believe that a small individual trainee could become so popular that he was out of the control of the program team.

……

the next morning.

Several instructors, led by Zhang Yixing, walked onto the stage amid the cheers of all the trainees. "How have you been these past few days?"

"I'm so tired!"

"I feel so tired that my brain can't work anymore."

Listening to the noisy discussions of the crowd, Zhang Yixing kept a smile on his face, but he was complaining in his heart.

If I hadn’t just watched your assessment video yesterday, I would have almost believed it.

After a few simple words of comfort, Zhang Yixing went straight to the point.

"Based on your assessment videos, we have made a grade assessment. Next, I will announce your grades."

"Only trainees who finally get an A grade will be able to perform at the center of the stage during the filming of the theme song MV."

"And F, those who we think are not ready, will not be able to participate in the performance!"

Looking at the confusion, fear and anxiety on everyone's faces, Zhang Yixing spoke out a cruel fact, which instantly shattered their fantasies.

"I'm not saying there are fewer shots, I'm saying you can't participate!"

The audience immediately exploded.

"hiss!"

"what?!"

"Why didn't you notify us in advance? Why was it so sudden?!"

"It's over, it's over. I feel like I won't be able to go on stage anymore."

Many people were devastated by this sudden and heavy news, with regret and despair on their faces.

They originally thought that there wasn't much difference between Class F, Class D, or even Class C. None of them had many shots, let alone the chance to get the center position.

With their abilities, it is impossible for them to reach the level of Class A and Class B, so what's the harm in being lazy?
Anyway, they didn't think about making their debut, they just wanted to get more shots and attract more fans so that they can fuck their fans or make money after they are eliminated.

But what they didn't expect was that the program crew would be so callous and cruel as to deprive them of even the chance to be on camera.

Then what's the point of them being on this show?!
Is it just to earn the two thousand yuan announcement fee? !

Wave leak!

Ning Luo stood quietly at the top of the pyramid, silently admiring the lives of all beings below, his heart calm.

Zhang Ruonan taught him a lesson.

If you want water to come out of the well, you have to keep digging hard.

This process is very boring and hard. Your hands and waist will be sore and it requires a lot of physical strength and sweat.

But when the well water gushes out of the wellhead and you taste the sweet spring water, the joy of harvest is incomparable and makes you feel like you are floating in the air.

During this period, if you become lazy and stop digging, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

Just like those trainees with dejected faces at this moment.

After giving everyone a brief moment to digest the information, Zhang Yixing calmly raised the microphone and said, "Now, let's announce your grades, starting with Class B."

"Your level is closest to Class A, and you are also the ones who challenge Class A the most. So how many of you have achieved your goals?"

"First, please ask Qian Zhenghao, Jin Yihan, and Chen Yifu to come on stage to receive your final levels."

The three people who were named couldn't help but look tense and became visibly nervous.

Ning Luo's heart moved, and he quickly forced a concerned smile and patted Qian Zhenghao on the shoulder in front of him.

Although he and his roommate had no interactions outside of the camera, they were close friends in front of the camera.

Almost at the same time, another hand was placed on Qian Zhenghao's other shoulder.

Ning Luo turned his head to look at Cai Xukun who was making the same action, and found that the other party's expression was exactly the same as his, filled with strong "true feelings".

This is a master!
Ning Luo smiled at him, retracted her gaze, put her arm around Qian Zhenghao's shoulders, quietly pushed Cai Xukun's hand away, and spoke first.

“Come on, Haohao, you can do it!”

Cai Xukun: “…”

This is a bitch!
