Huayu: Traffic is king

Chapter 45 Program Premiere (Part )

The texture and atmosphere of this opening impressed the audience, and the number of comments began to increase.

[Even though I know talent shows are essentially a game of capital, I still get goosebumps...]
Ah, seeing Gu Jingyi's words about waking up from a dream really made my nose sore again. Suddenly I understand why he came here. This is his dream!
The show quickly got on track and began with the initial seat selection.

[It’s my favorite part again. I wonder how many royals there are this time.]
[Seat selection? I'm so excited. I wonder if Jingyi will choose seat number 1.]
[What? Song Shuisui actually sat down in seat 1.]
When they saw the unknown trainee sitting on the No. 1 throne, the fans of the popular contestants became a little restless.

[This year's biggest royal family is already in place, I wonder if they can keep up the hype.]
There is a close-up shot lasting several seconds when the number one seat is taken, as well as more exposure in the early stages.

For trainees from small companies, it is indeed the fastest way to leave an impression on the audience.

Black and red are also red.

The audience can tell at a glance that the order of the broadcast version has been edited.

In several recation shots of trainees off the stage, the trainees who had already taken their seats were standing down again.

However, this did not affect their experience. One hundred young male trainees appeared in the camera. There was always a handsome guy in the camera, and the barrage of comments discussed it with relish.

When a handsome guy appears, the barrage of comments always surges.

When Cai Xukun and the Yuehua Seven appeared, the atmosphere of the program team reached a small peak. Large amounts of barrage appeared, all cheering.

The trainees who appeared after them didn't arouse much interest from the audience.

[This is a bit boring. When will Gu Jingyi appear? He won’t be in the show until the end, right? That would be too long.]
Just like the program team responded from a distance, this barrage was just sent out.

The trainees in the camera suddenly stood up and looked towards the aisle.

[Former YG trainee]
As soon as the subtitles appeared, the comments started going crazy.

[Ahhh, it’s Gu Jingyi!]
[Among all the trainees on the show, only Gu Jingyi trained at YG.]
The barrage of comments excitedly swiped the screen frantically, and began to wait for that figure.

The subtitles dissipated into dots of light and quickly gathered into [Hua Ce Trainee]
The next second, a handsome and tall figure walked out from the entrance.

He put the name tag on his waist and walked out with an imposing manner.

The program crew knew very well what the audience wanted to see, and directly gave Gu Jingyi an ultra-clear close-up shot that went from a full-body long shot to slowly focusing on his facial features.

The camera stayed on his face for a full three seconds, and any flaws of the artist would be infinitely magnified in this close-up shot.

But Gu Jingyi still easily controlled the camera. Under countless incandescent lights, his features were clear and delicate, so beautiful that he looked like the white moonlight male protagonist in a youth drama who had torn through the dimensional wall and walked out.

A simple shirt and a black sweater made Gu Jingyi look even more youthful. His shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. The contrast between the black sweater and the light-colored shirt made the muscles of his exposed forearms even more distinct.

He raised his eyes slightly and looked above the stepped seats, a gentle smile faintly visible in his eyes.

Ah, I finally understand what the editor said during the interview for "A Little Thing Called First Love." He said it wasn't "A Little Thing Called First Love" that made Gu Jingyi famous, but rather that Gu Jingyi chose the meaning of "A Little Thing Called First Love." He's Jiang Chen, huh? Some people are idol drama characters from the moment they appear on screen!
[That photographer's close-up shot is great! Handsome guys deserve more close-up shots of their faces. They look great, I love watching them!]
This one-shot shot shifts from Gu Jingyi to the trainees who have already taken their seats.

This reaction came at a very timely moment, and the audience also wanted to know the trainees' reactions.

The trainees who had already taken their seats had different expressions when they saw Gu Jingyi really coming.

In the moonlight, Fan Chengcheng tugged at Justin's sleeve and said excitedly, "Justin, I just saw a very handsome guy."

Captain Zhu Zhengting noticed his ugly face and gave him a slap. When Zhu Zhengting retracted his arm, he smiled at Justin.

[Hhh, Chengcheng, please stop looking so unimpressed. I can't stand it anymore. Please manage your expression.]
[Ahhh, if I remember correctly, Zheng Zheng and Justin both know Gu Jingyi, right? They both participated in "Produce 202."]
[The one in the front, they know each other. The best "Green Card Line" in the world, the girl in 202 is moved to tears.]
"Is this face real? It's so handsome and impactful. It's definitely the type that even boys would find handsome!"

"He's so handsome. As soon as Gu Jingyi appeared, I couldn't help but focus my eyes on him."

"Why did Gu Jingyi expect 5? This is totally inconsistent with his ability."

"Phew, I feel like I can pack up and go home early."

The words spoken by the other trainees on the stage during the previous filming were also edited in full by the program crew.

[Hahahahahaha, normal reaction.]
[Normal. If I see Gu Jingyi, his state will be even more exaggerated than theirs (spreading hands)]
However, among the trainees, the reactions of Bu Fan and Wang Ziyi when they saw Gu Jingyi were also noticed by the audience.

[Stop, sisters, pay attention. Rewind to 45 minutes and 27 seconds, and see the look in Wang Ziyi and Bu Fan's eyes on Xiaoyi. Jealousy, right? They can't even hide it on stage. And offstage, I can't imagine how many people with ulterior motives are around Gu Jingyi, waiting for his downfall.]
[It's just jealousy, jealousy that's clearly written on my face.]
The barrage of comments started to appear, and Gu Jingyi's fans became a little restless.

[Sisters, calm down. These things are discussed privately. Watch the show first and don't bring bad things to Xiaoyi.]
A big fan came out to speak, and the chaotic situation was brought under control.

[Tsk, Gu Jingyi's fans are really delusional.]
There are also some women who deliberately try to stir up trouble.

However, the overall situation was under control.

On the screen, Gu Jingyi also started to choose a seat.

Song Shuishui, who was sitting in seat No. 1, felt a little restless when he saw Gu Jingyi walking up the stairs step by step.

He almost stood up and gave his seat to Gu Jingyi.

[Feeling Jingyi's pressure, the psychological pressure coming towards me]
[Ahh, it's okay. Gu Jingyi will use his strength to get back on the seat.]
The fans in the barrage were secretly happy, thinking that their idol was really doing his best.

The program team also released very guiding subtitles:

[A trainee has already taken seat No. 1. What will Gu Jingyi choose?]
During the backstage interview, Gu Jingyi's predicted grade, "I'm just aiming for an A," was also edited in by the program team.

Even in the trainee evaluation form, his position as "All-Rounder" was deliberately inserted by "Idol Producer".

That confidence, as if just stating the facts, also attracted countless fans who admired him.

[Gu Jingyi certainly deserves an A, receiving a double A from the initial and re-rating of "Produce." YG, one of South Korea's three major agencies, is the "secret weapon."]
[If any other contestant said this: "Honey, that's true." Gu Jingyi said: "Handsome guys are just genuine!"]
[Gu Jingyi’s first C is the last C!!]
[Will Xiaoyi really choose the first seat?]
The audience was a little anxious and couldn't wait to see the result.

"Idol Producer" deliberately played tricks and inserted an advertisement before coming back.

The audience cursed the production team, but then continued watching honestly.

Surprisingly, Gu Jingyi did not sit in seat number one.

He glanced at Song who was sleeping lightly and walked straight to the fifth position.

The next second, the camera cut to Cai Xukun, who was sitting in the sixth seat. He looked intently at Gu Jingyi who was walking towards him step by step.

"Hello, Cai Xukun"
