Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 350: It is the basis of radio gymnastics
"...We can't retreat from this competition.
Wow hopes to keep moving a on
I want to race against timeei——

......"

In the bright dance studio, lively dance music echoed. Seven or eight young girls sang and danced to the melody, full of energy.

The group of dancing girls appear to be a group, but a little observation reveals that they are actually two different groups.

The movements of the team in front were concise, powerful and uniform, not much different from those of the common idol girl groups.

As for the team behind, it was quite bad. The four girls basically danced separately, without any coordination. Even if you look at the movements of one of them alone, they were far behind the front group.

There were about ten people standing or sitting around the wall of the practice room. There were dance teachers who were observing carefully and taking notes on paper from time to time, and there were also trainees who were whispering to each other.

"Asazuki is actually a pretty good dancer."

“Indeed, there is a beauty to the newly domesticated limbs.”

"Oh, don't say that, little uncle. She has made great progress compared to when she first started learning a few months ago."

"Well, the entertainment industry is in need of fans like you, so let's focus on nurturing one."

"..."

Among the scattered crowd, Meng Bai and Meng Ziyi sat in an inconspicuous corner, chatting in low voices while watching Yang Chaoyue dancing in the middle of the practice room.

Idol groups have always been the preserve of Japanese and Korean entertainment. Due to the market style and fan base of the domestic entertainment industry, boy and girl groups that focus on singing and dancing have never been able to develop much.

It was not until the explosion of “Idol Producer” at the beginning of this year that many people suddenly realized that the domestic market had accumulated such a large fan audience group.

Just as the boy group born from “Idol Producer” was formed, Tencent Video announced that it would join forces with the team of the Korean version of “Produce 101” to create a new girl group variety show project, “Produce 101”.

Riding on the popularity of "Idol Producer", the new girl group program has also attracted the attention of many fans. While the program team is vigorously promoting it, they are also busy starting the final round of contestant selection.

The "TCG" group put together by Taiyang Chuanhe has already passed the auditions and preliminary rounds. As long as they pass the final round, they will become one of the 101 contestants and truly stand on the stage.

Seeing that the final hurdle was approaching, Yang Chaoyue's mood had become tense recently. When Meng Ziyi chatted with her, he could clearly feel the girl's nervousness.

So she thought of coming over to take advantage of the time left before the final selection to help her friend relieve stress and cheer her up.

It’s just that because Yang Chaoyue was in closed training during this period, she couldn’t come in by herself, so she could only ask her uncle to “give her some convenience”.

It just so happened that Meng Bai had nothing to do, so he was also dragged over by her.

Looking at the girls in the front who were in perfect harmony with each other, and then looking at Yang Chaoyue and the others in the back row, Meng Bai couldn't help but sigh - although idols don't need to be too strong, the gap in comparison is a bit too obvious.

The girls standing in the front row are not artists from Taiyang Chuanhe, but a new girl group called "Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division" which debuted just half a year ago.

Taiyang Chuanhe's main business is film and television and MCN. The sub-brand Taiyang Hengxing has just been established and it can be said that it has no direction in the training of girl groups.

Therefore, Yang Ming mobilized his connections and sent the four girls from TCG to "Jichuang Yinli". This company focuses on the music market and already has two debuted girl groups "Jiajianchengci" and "Jiligulu", plus a three-member girl band called "Kuchka".

It can be seen from the names of these groups that they are all a group of unknown and unknown groups.

The only one who still has some popularity is Yamy, the captain of the "Kuchka" band. She previously participated in "The Rap of China" and collaborated with the current "King of Hip-Hop" PG One on the same stage.

Although there are no famous groups, JiChuang Yinli still has abundant singing and dancing teachers and practice resources, which are more than enough to train the newbies of "TCG".

So the company simply sent Yang Chaoyue and the others over to practice together with this combination called "addition, subtraction, multiplication and division".

"That girl dances well enough."

Meng Bai pointed at a slim girl in the TCG group. He forgot her name, but Yang Ming said she had learned dancing since she was a child. Although she had not practiced professionally since she grew up, she still had some basic skills.

"I think that Uyghur girl danced very well too." Meng Ziyi said nearby: "I think she must have learned it before."

"As for ethnic minorities, their customs are different, so there should be more people who are good at singing and dancing."

Meng Bai recalled that the girl's name seemed to be "Zike". Anyway, it sounded familiar.

Um - Kha'Zix?

No, that's a praying mantis. No wonder the name sounds familiar.

These two girls had some basic skills, so after training for a while they felt they were doing okay and the gap wasn't that big.

But the other two, especially Yang Chaoyue, are really hard to describe.

"I've been curious since a while ago." Meng Ziyi stared at his good friend, "What has Chaoyue been mumbling for the past half day? It doesn't look like lyrics."

Meng Bai heard this and took a closer look: "He's counting the beats. Look, two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight; three, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..."

Meng Ziyi listened to his dubbing and watched it carefully for a while.

Don't say it, it seems to be true.

Well, I can't blame her. She had no foundation before, so it was great that she could keep up with the pace in such a short period of intensive training.

After the two melodies ended, the dancing girls stopped as the music stopped.

The dance teacher walked over and began to explain their shortcomings. Of course, this was mainly aimed at Yang Chaoyue and the others.

The teacher was quite responsible and explained the lesson step by step for about ten minutes. As it was almost noon, he announced that the morning was over and everyone went to eat.

When the teacher said to take a break, Yang Chaoyue, who was sweating all over, sat down directly on the spot. Then, regardless of the people around him, he lay on the floor in a big letter shape.

"Get up, Chaoyue. You just finished exercising, you can't lie down directly."

TCG's temporary captain Hu Linxi, the girl who Meng Bai had just commented on as having a good dance, walked up to Yang Chaoyue, took her hand and tried to help her up.

"Ah - I really don't have any strength left." Yang Chaoyue said weakly: "Just lie down for a while."

"No, I told you to stretch before you can rest." Hu Linxi insisted.

Although it is just a patchwork group and she is only a temporary captain, she still has a strong sense of responsibility.

"Get up, get up, or we'll have to do it ourselves." Zhao Xiaotang stood behind Hu Linxi and said to his teammates on the ground.

Hanikez on the other side smiled and began to roll up his sleeves: "No need for you, I can get her up by myself."

"Please spare my life, I will get up right away."

Yang Chaoyue, who was "besieged", finally couldn't lie down anymore and stood up slowly.

Not to mention, although her ability was the worst among the few, she was quite popular. Plus, she was the youngest, so the other three girls also took extra care of her. The four girls were walking out noisily when they suddenly heard someone next to them calling Yang Chaoyue's name.

"Hey, Sister Meng, why are you here?"

Seeing Meng Ziyi suddenly appear, Yang Chaoyue ran over in surprise and held her hand tightly, refusing to let go.

"Didn't you say you were very nervous recently? That's why I came to check on you." Meng Ziyi looked him up and down, "Why do you look much more tired?"

"I've been having trouble sleeping lately..."

Perhaps it was because she hadn't seen her familiar friends for a long time, Yang Chaoyue's mouth pursed and her eyes became moist.

Just after saying a few words, she suddenly saw a man standing behind Meng Ziyi. He was wearing simple jeans and a shirt, and a black baseball cap of the same style as Meng Ziyi. The brim of the hat was pulled down so that her face could not be seen clearly, but he looked very young.

Yang Chaoyue was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Sister Meng, is this your friend?"

"Hey, little girl, you've only been gone for a few months, and you don't even recognize people."

Meng Bai raised his hand to support it, revealing a face with a teasing expression behind the hat.

"Ah, Boss!" Yang Chaoyue froze in place, "You're here too!"

"Yes, someone said that you are a great singer and dancer now, and they dragged me over to see you." Meng Bai gave a thumbs up, "You know what, you really deserve to have the foundation of radio gymnastics."

"..."

Yang Chaoyue blinked her eyes. These words seemed to be a little wrong. Was he praising herself?
She was still confused when the other three girls who heard her shout came over and greeted Meng Bai respectfully.

Although they had only met once before, Meng Bai couldn't even remember their names, but there was no way they could forget their boss.

"Hello, Mr. Meng." "Hello, boss."

"Hello." Meng Bai smiled at them kindly.

Although I can't remember their names, it's not difficult to tell them apart because each of these girls has their own characteristics.

"Mr. Meng, are you here to see Chaoyue?" Hu Linxi, as the team leader, spoke first.

After practicing together for four or five months, the teammates knew each other well. In addition, Yang Chaoyue came with Meng Bai when they first met, so they all knew that their youngest teammate used to be an employee of Arclight Films.

"I guess so. By the way, I'd like to take a look at how you are preparing." Meng Bai said casually.

In fact, he was mainly dragged here by Meng Ziyi, otherwise he would not have the mind to pay attention to a small group that was temporarily formed just for the show.

But then again, the girls were half his own children after all, so his attitude wasn't remote.

"It's noon now, so I'll treat you to a meal. Just consider it as my encouragement to you in advance." Meng Bai said.

The eyes of several girls all lit up. Hu Linxi said in a low voice with some concern: "Boss Yang said before that we should stay here for closed training until the program selection. The management of Ji Chuang Gravity is also very strict. It may not be easy for us to go out."

"It's okay." Meng Bai waved his hand nonchalantly, "I'll just call and tell him."

He took out his cell phone and called Xu Mingchao, the boss of Ji Chuang Yinli. Yang Ming had contacted him before.

In addition to being the boss of Ji Chuang Yin Li, he is also a musician. However, to the outside world, his most well-known identity should be the husband of Ling Hua, the lead singer of "Phoenix Legend".

After receiving Meng Bai's call, Xu Mingchao naturally agreed without hesitation and said that he would find someone to tell the company staff and teachers.

"OK, that's all."

Meng Bai put down his phone and spoke with a relaxed expression to the girls in front of him who were looking at him expectantly.

"Thank you, boss!" X4
The four of them shouted this sentence in unison.

As expected, Xu Mingchao had already asked someone to give instructions, and the group left the company gate of JiChuang Gravity very easily.

But they didn't go far, after all, they still had practice in the afternoon. The girls discussed it and chose a hot pot restaurant that was most acceptable to everyone.

Seeing the girls ordering dishes furiously, as if they wanted to order all the dishes at once, Meng Bai couldn't help but ask, "Why, doesn't Ji Chuang Gravity provide meals?"

Hu Linxi was busy counting the dishes for several people, so the one who spoke this time was Hanikuzi, who was closer to Meng Bai.

Hearing the boss's doubts, she said a little embarrassedly: "There is food, but in order to maintain our figure, each meal has a fixed calorie ratio. I'm not hungry, but I can't eat enough either."

"It seems I have delayed you today."

"No, no, how could that be. It's just a meal occasionally, it's nothing serious." Hanikuz explained quickly.

"That's fine, just treat it as a cheat meal."

Meng Bai also felt that it was no big deal. Considering the amount of exercise they did in the morning, the calories from this meal would probably be consumed by the evening.

"By the way, when is the final round of the show?"

"Early May."

"Then there's only about half a month left."

"Yeah." Hanikez nodded, "It's because the time is close, so everyone has been a little nervous recently, and Chaoyue hasn't had much rest."

Meng Bai smiled and said, "That's good. This show is indeed a great opportunity for you newcomers. If you are a little nervous, you can practice harder."

"Ah, so..." Hanikuzi was stunned for a moment.

"how?"

Seeing the boss looking at her, she quickly said, "Uh, no. I thought you would be like the others, comforting us and telling us not to worry too much, that there will be opportunities in the future, and to keep a calm mind. I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect you to be so honest, did you?"

Meng Bai laughed, then continued: "Words of comfort will be said later, but now, it is better for everyone to be frank."

"Well, that's right."

Hanikuzi and the other three were a little hesitant at first because of Meng Bai's presence, but they soon discovered that the young boss was not as aloof as they had imagined.

So, under the leadership of Yang Chaoyue and Meng Ziyi, the girls gradually stopped caring so much and started chatting enthusiastically.

The meal took nearly two hours to finish.
