Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 76. The Village's Hope (Yang Chaoyue)
After a while, Yang Chaoyue and her three other sisters from her group went on stage together.

"Hello everyone, we are ch2 from Wenlan Culture."

Yang Chaoyue was only 19 years old at the time, wearing a black long shirt on her upper body and a red plaid short skirt on her lower body.

The group first asked the other two girls in their group, and then Huang Zitao turned to her and asked, "Is there anything else you want to introduce?"

Yang Chaoyue raised the microphone: "I am the hope of our entire village."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head shyly.

Teacher Ella: "Oh my, so cute!"

Huang Zitao: "So you're the most beautiful girl in your village?"

Yang Chaoyue: "Yes."

Lin Shaobai looked up at her, picked up the microphone, and said, "You give off the feeling of Little Swallow from Princess Pearl."

At this moment, her eyes had the innocent naiveté of a college student (in a positive sense).

Although she wasn't a college student, her naive stupidity was particularly evident.

Yang Chaoyue: "But I like Jin Suo, and I like Fan Binbin."

He's quite straightforward.

If you're not good at singing and dancing, using your personality to attract fans is also a viable option.

In these talent shows, good looks and singing/dancing skills don't always guarantee an audience.

If you're smart, you could try a different approach. You could rely on pairing up with other celebrities to boost your popularity, or you could create a persona like Yang Chaoyue, who is terrible at singing and dancing, loves to cry, but is also beautiful.

Or there's Lilushu, who originally came to the competition as a translator for a friend but was unexpectedly selected.

He never wanted to advance and always wanted to give up and do nothing, which made the audience rebellious and want him to advance and vote for him to dance.

Huang Zitao: "How about we watch your performance first?"

Yang Chaoyue: "Okay."

After the music started, Yang Chaoyue whispered "12345".

Teacher Ella: "She was counting the beats there."

Their dance routine felt like a primary or secondary school student's morning exercise routine.

It's not even as intense as the morning exercises for primary and secondary school students.

After the performance, Lin Shaobai raised the microphone: "Yang Chaoyue."

Yang Chaoyue nodded quickly, her face full of sincerity: "Yes."

"Don't count the beats when you jump, it's very obvious, 1234, 5678."

Yang Chaoyue: "I can't make a mistake, because if I do, it will affect them."

Lin Shaobai: "But you still jumped wrong, you know that?"

Did I jump wrong?

This isn't a nitpicking statement; she simply doesn't know if she's made a mistake.

This kind of character who seems silly from the start is indeed quite popular.

Meng Ziyi is another character with a similar persona.

She looks like a shrewd woman, but she's not very bright.

Speaking of Meng Ziyi, this girl has been criticized for eight out of the ten years since her debut. In her early years, everyone could spit on her.

Later, he appeared on a variety show called Peach Blossom Village.

She used her personal charm to turn public opinion around.

So some people are suited for reality shows, while others are not.

People with good personalities can gain fans by appearing on reality shows.

Meng Ziyi can be considered a variety show personality.

Her personality is very likable.

Just as that talented woman from Peking University said, she is a flower nurtured under the Bodhi tree.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the stage, Huang Zitao, suppressing a laugh, asked Yang Chaoyue, "What was the opportunity that led you to join this girl group?"

"There was this job posting, it paid 2000 yuan and they even provided meals. So I went. And then there were 40 women, oh no, 40 girls, and they were choosing 8 of them."

As Yang Chaoyue spoke, she sniffled and started wiping her tears with her hands!

The other mentors were utterly shocked by this situation, but Lin Shaobai said he was already used to it.

This woman is the perfect candidate for abstract art. She does things that are utterly baffling with the clearest eyes.

Yang Chaoyue: "I've always felt that someone like me shouldn't be in a girl group. Girl groups are all about having ridiculously long legs and being good-looking."

"Ahem. I think you're really capable of doing it," Lin Shaobai said.

Yang Chaoyue found this hard to believe.

Huang Zitao, who was standing next to him, also widened his eyes.

Lin Shaobai: "Do you know what audience appeal is? It's very important, first of all, you need to have it. Secondly, since you have hope for this stage, you need to work harder to do well, instead of just counting beats. Practice more, put in more effort to practice."

Huang Zitao: "Okay! After our unanimous decision, Yang Chaoyue will be admitted to Class C."

Yang Chaoyue: "Teacher, really?"

Huang Zitao: "It's fake, I'm just kidding. You should withdraw from the competition."

Yang Chaoyue: "Huh?"

Teacher Ella: "Okay, okay, it's true."

Then another wave of young talent arrived.

They all look quite cute, but their abilities are appalling.

Some sang early in the morning, some were in car accidents, and some sang at double speed.

There's also that kind of high-pitched sound that could wipe out the whole world.

Finally, a girl with a ponytail and no embellishment appeared, named Duan Aojuan.

She dressed simply and sang "Once Upon a Time" on stage with her purest voice.

She can't dance, but she sings exceptionally well.

This girl eventually debuted as part of a group, and after the group disbanded, she pursued a singing career.

Girl groups that have seen some success after disbanding are usually those with good singing skills.

You can sing OSTs for others, or appear on singing shows, which will still increase your exposure.

After a while, it was Yuehua Entertainment's turn, a major domestic entertainment agency.

Seven tall, slim, and beautiful trainees with fair skin walked onto the stage.

They were dressed mainly in red and black, and really looked like a group.

Wu Xuanyi: "Hello everyone, we are YHGIRL from Yuehua Entertainment."

The girl standing next to him is Meng Meiqi.

Meng Meiqi and Wu Xuanyi were originally in the same group as Xiao Han and Cheng Xiao, called Cosmic Girls.

It was a large group, but it was rather blurry.

It is almost completely ignored in the country.

If you don't have a deep understanding of this industry, the only girl group that people in China generally know is Girls' Generation.

Wu Xuanyi has slightly curly black hair right now, and she looks quite good.

She also gained a large number of fans because of her sweet smile.

Meng Meiqi's singing and dancing are also quite good. Trainees like her, who have worked hard to become trainees, are an overwhelming presence in this kind of group.

After the performance, the mentors began to give their comments.

Lin Shaobai: "They are very well trained and are quite a mature group."

Bozi: "Two of them have already debuted. Wu Xuanyi and Meng Meiqi."

Meng Meiqi: "Yes. We plan to start over from scratch and work hard."

Wu Xuanyi: "Yes, we'll learn from scratch."

Huang Zitao: "Okay, congratulations to you two for becoming members of Class A."

However, later, because Class A was full, these two had to go up and battle. Wu Xuan lost the battle and was demoted to Class B.

A few hours later, Lin Shaobai and several other mentors completed the initial evaluation of 101 trainees.

Huang Zitao stepped onto the stage again: "Now I'll announce the first task for the 101 girl group: to film the theme song 'Produce 101' music video. Next, dance mentor Wang Yibo will demonstrate the theme song for you."

Bozi went up and danced a girl group dance.

Thank you all for your monthly votes.
