They don't actually think I like them, do they?

Lin Han told himself this.

Don't expect too much from these guys; just treat the interview like a game.

Next up is the individual trainee group.

To be honest, this group has the lowest expectations. After all, how amazing can just individual trainees be?

However, Lin Han still couldn't afford to be careless.

This brings us to a legendary figure from my past life who, as an independent trainee, beat up a group of trainees from big companies and ultimately debuted as the center!

You could say that a high school student who studied at home outperformed all the top high schools like Hengshui High School and Huazhong Normal University Affiliated High School in the college entrance exam and became the top scorer!

Unfortunately, some people become legends precisely because they are rare in this world.

The individual trainee group did not bring Lin Han any surprises.

Next up is the group of online celebrities.

"Hello, Teacher Orange, my name is Xiao Xun'er, and I am a talent broadcaster."

A curly-haired, mature woman, wearing a low-cut dress, spoke in a seductive voice.

Then, she walked to Lin Han's table, deliberately lowered her chest, and placed her hand on Lin Han's hand.

My special skill is—

As Xiao Xun'er spoke, she leaned close to Lin Han's ear and whispered in a tingling tone,

"361 poses".

Just then, another hand landed on Xiao Xun'er's hand.

Mangzi looked at her with a smile, but there was no gleam in his eyes.

"I think you have a lot of talent. How about coming to my house tonight for a more in-depth discussion?"

076. The third candidate

In fact, Lin Han already had the idea of ​​becoming a producer when he first entered the industry.

After all, Lin Han has never been one to show his face in public. Creating the Collapse Index doesn't necessarily require him to do it himself; he can simply be a behind-the-scenes manipulator, driving the ups and downs of the arts and culture scene from behind the scenes.

Now, Lin Han finally has the opportunity to realize his ambitions!

As the first girl group created by Lin Han, the number of members was carefully considered by Lin Han.

Because Lin Han essentially wanted to create a Korean-style girl group from his previous life, and Korean groups have quite a few members, like Girls' Generation with eight members and EXO with nine.

Of course, this is not a small comparison with groups from other parts of the world; it does not include Japanese girl groups.

Forty-eight members like AKB48 were something Lin Han wouldn't even dare to dream of. Bringing 48 girls into the company—what's the difference between that and having a harem?!

After some thought, Lin Han finally decided on three people.

There aren't many, but they're easier to control and train. The atmosphere within the group will also be much better, and it's less likely for infighting to occur within the group.

In a mature and well-established girl group, you'll find that their personnel structure is quite similar.

First of all, there will definitely be a cool, rock-style girl in the group, who will most likely be the rapper in the group.

Secondly, there is a girl with an older sister-like style, sometimes gentle and sometimes serious, who always gives people a very reliable feeling. This kind of girl is often the leader, responsible for taking care of her younger sisters.

Next, there will be a very hardworking, good-looking girl who always brings smiles to everyone's face, harmonizes the atmosphere within the group, and gets along well with everyone.

Then there's the "pretty face" in the group. Singing and dancing are mediocre, sometimes even dragging the team down, but she's always very pretty. She just needs to cultivate a naive and innocent persona to easily swindle money from fans.

Sometimes, if a pretty face sells well, she might become the most popular member of the group. If you create some memes about her, like Yunli or some mysterious stories, wouldn't the trend-following girls just flock to her?

Since there's a pretty face, there must also be a strong performer. This girl might not be particularly beautiful, at best just average-looking, but she's a powerful singer, there to make up for the pretty face dragging the group down.

Such a singer, even if she is the most hardworking and the strongest, leading the whole group, often has very little popularity because of her appearance. She is only allowed to stand in the center position when the stage quality needs to be improved.

This is what girl groups are all about.

Only by consciously designing the girls' personas in this way can a well-rounded, distinctive, and charming girl group be created, making fans willingly spend their money!

This is an issue that no top producer can ignore during the talent selection process.

In a girl group with nearly ten members, if there are two girls with the same persona, creating an awkward position within the group, or making the audience unable to remember them, it shows that the producer has failed miserably!

In fact, this also confirms why the vast majority of talent shows end up with behind-the-scenes manipulation.

On the surface, it's called "national producers," where viewers vote to select a girl group from the trainees. But in reality, for the sake of the girl group's future development, the production team is willing to risk going to jail by rigging the vote count.

Lin Han doesn't need to think about so much now; he's lowered the difficulty level.

three people.

If there are only three people, there's not much to consider. Just make sure each of the three girls has their own unique characteristics and is proactive.

Lan Yu has the talent to be a great singer, and he's also good-looking with a strong presence, making him suitable to be the team leader.

Fang Yumeng, at present, is just a pretty face with a touch of eccentricity; her true character remains to be seen.

There is one person left.

Lin Han decided to recruit!

The next day, news that Jusheng Media was recruiting trainees quickly spread throughout the entertainment industry.

Hearing that it was the company of Orange Jam, especially with Orange Jam himself being the producer, countless girls were excited!　

　In just one day, Lin Han's office received more than eighty resumes.

Among them are campus idols and underground idols from the idol industry, as well as internet celebrities and live streamers from the internet.

There are also individual trainees from the Chinese entertainment industry, and even some artists.

To be honest, many celebrities and idols were very conflicted about accepting Ju Zi Jiang's offer.

Because Jusheng Media has clearly stated that they are recruiting trainees.

Everyone knows that in this industry, out of a hundred trainees, only one might be able to debut!

Although the proportion of idols is much higher, they have still put in a lot of effort.

They are already idols and artists. If they go to Jusheng Media, it will be like starting from scratch as trainees.

If you encounter a dishonest company, your entire career as an artist could be ruined.

This requires immense courage.

Nevertheless, many people still came with the mindset of "no destruction, no construction"!

Because of this name.

Marmalade!

In their eyes, Orange Jam is an absolute breath of fresh air in the Chinese entertainment industry. His name represents purity and holiness, and he will never let down those who like him.

Jusheng Media, Conference Room.

Today's trainee interviews are being held here.

Lin Han browsed through the resumes, scratching his head in a bit of a headache.

I thought I would receive at least three hundred resumes, but I didn't expect to receive so many fewer than I anticipated.

"They probably think they won't get elected."

Hu Yan, who was standing to the side, said with a smile, "After all, you're only taking on one person, President."

"really."

From the perspective of acceptance rate, this number is already quite large.

At least most of those who dared to come were relatively confident in themselves. This inadvertently helped Lin Han filter out many people with relatively weak abilities.

With ten minutes left before the interview officially began, Lin Han decided to take another look at the resume.

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a golden figure walked in.

"The interview hasn't even started yet..."

As Lin Han was speaking, he looked up and saw Mangzi staring at him with wide eyes.

Before Lin Han could react, Mangzi pulled up a stool and sat down next to him.

"What are you doing??" Lin Han looked completely bewildered.

"Let me help you check it out." Mangzi pouted and flicked her golden ponytail.

“I’ve seen the two new kids you recruited, and I can’t see what’s so great about them, especially that pink-haired girl, she’s a complete idiot! But she is quite pretty.”

As Mangzi spoke, his little face darkened.

"You're not using the guise of recruiting trainees to actually be selecting concubines here, are you?"

"What concubine selection?! I'm actually recruiting trainees!" Lin Han shouted.

"I don't care! I want to interrogate you together!" Mangzi stuck her little hands in and tilted her head back.

Lin Han had no choice but to wave his hand, signaling Hu Yan to give up her seat to Mang Zi.

As a seasoned idol, if Mangzi were here, he might be able to offer some sharp advice.

"Alright, let's begin the interview!"

078. Each one possesses unique skills

"Really?" Xiao Xun'er asked in surprise.

"Cough cough!"

Lin Han quickly grabbed Mangzi's hand, her eyes clearly saying, "Sister, it's not that bad!"

The last person taken away by Mangzi is still buried in the hospital.

Lin Han adjusted his mood.

As expected of an internet celebrity, even their methods are so unconventional.

As an idol, the most important thing is of course the ability to sing, dance and rap. When introducing yourself, you should say something that is more useful to the company and the boss.

So Lin Han said,

"A detailed explanation of 361 poses."

After saying this, Lin Han was almost kicked out by Mang Zi along with Xiao Xun'er.

After the influencer group ended, it was time for the idol group, which had the largest number of members, over forty.

We've finally arrived at Mangzi's area of ​​expertise, after all, this woman is a top-tier idol!

Here we must mention the difference between celebrities and idols.

On the surface, both seem to involve singing and dancing and making money through performing, but they operate in completely different circles.

The main difference lies in the different concepts of identity and the focus of the scope of work.

Idols are primarily active on stage. They are youthful, energetic, and possess outstanding charm, giving them a powerful ability to attract and engage fans. Each idol has a carefully crafted persona, unique characteristics, and strengths that set them apart from other artists. At the same time, fans are their greatest support; they rely on their fans' support to achieve better work results and higher status.

In general, the survival of idols is closely related to their fans, and the two have a great influence on each other.

It was the province of Sakura that brought idol culture to its peak, so the vast majority of idols in mainland China follow the "Sakura-style idol" aesthetic.

Like Mangzi, who is a cherry blossom person.

Celebrities and artists are essentially an upgraded version of idols.

They have broader resources, not just limited to their own fan base, but reaching out to the entire entertainment industry.

Generally speaking, celebrities also need to rely on online traffic to increase their popularity. The more popular a celebrity is, the greater their online traffic will be. However, fans don't exert the same level of control over celebrities as idols do. If a celebrity strives to develop in a positive direction, they are very likely to reach even greater heights.

Just like some veteran actors with solid acting skills may not have as many fans as some popular young actors, but they can still maintain a very high status in the entertainment industry based on their reputation, and they can still contribute to the cause of art and literature.

Idols are different; they depend entirely on the love of their fans for survival. If an idol has no fans, they completely lose their reason for existence.

To give a more specific example, if Saito Asuka were to be exposed as having a penis, countless fans would lose their faith and even feel indignant towards the Zisha (purple clay) industry, and Saito Asuka would be expelled from the circle overnight.

If Yang Mi were to be exposed as having a penis, people might be shocked, but they would be even more interested in seeing Yang Mi angrily anal-ing Liu Kaiwei.
