"My Time" is a competition talent show for idol boy groups, aiming to find the most versatile and outstanding contemporary idols. Among the 88 trainees nominated by major economic companies and individually signed up for the competition, only six finally made their debut under the votes of the audience.
The shooting plan lasted for three months, and the whole process was closed training. A total of seven rounds of competition are set, which will be cut into 10 episodes and two episodes of live broadcast, which will be broadcast in prime time at 8:00 p.m. on Dongcheng TV.
The night before the recording, the program director held a meeting with the five mentors.
"Thank you teachers for taking the time to come over," the director said, "I will work hard from tomorrow on, everyone, and now I will sort out tomorrow's process with you."
At the conference table, choreographer, Bai Ye, and performance instructor Chen Jiayi sat on one side, vocal instructor Zheng Yuyang, dance instructors Wei Qin, and Qi Xingchen sat on the other side.
From the seat, you can see the status and treatment of each tutor.
Chen Jiayi is in her early forties this year, with a soft appearance and excellent temperament. She is a teacher of Chinese opera and is mainly responsible for the students' body and performance guidance.
Zheng Yuyang, thirty-two years old, male singer-songwriter, is mainly responsible for the vocal music and creative guidance of the students.
Wei Qin is twenty-two this year, only one year older than Qi Xingchen. He was the c position of the previous "My Times", a quasi-first-line traffic, and responsible for the dance guidance of the students.
Bai Ye is the initiator and host, responsible for leading the overall situation. Qi Xingchen is mainly responsible for objective judgment.
The director continued to explain the rules: "Tomorrow is the first grade evaluation session. The contestants will perform in groups according to their respective agencies. What the teachers need to do is to grade them AF grades based on their performances. Grade A is the highest, and Grade F is the highest. The lowest level. After the level evaluation is completed, the players will enter the corresponding class for training according to their own level."
During this period of time, Qi Xingchen made up the first two seasons of "My Time", and had a general understanding of the rules, so he nodded.
"These three," the editor and director pulled out a stack of materials, "When we do the grading tomorrow, please raise your hands high."
... hold your hand high
Qi Xingchen felt a "thump" in his heart.
Does this mean to engage in insider affairs
Although An Ran vaccinated him before coming here, "My Time" must have a script. But he thinks the script is just to create something to watch.
Unexpectedly, from the first round, they began to control the performance and exposure of the players.
After all, those with higher ranks must be more popular than those with lower ranks. Ratings can affect the audience's first impression of trainees, which is very good for accumulating popularity.
After distributing the five documents, the instructors looked at them one by one after receiving them, and Qi Xingchen opened them for a look.
Among the three documents, there is one individual trainee, and two trainees selected by brokerage companies.
The individual trainees are probably what Dong Cheng wants to sign, and the company should have spent money on those two.
If this is the calculation, there are only three debut places left, which is not a one-fourteenth debut rate at all, but one-twentieth-eighth.
The world is inherently unfair, and insider and unspoken rules cannot be avoided. As an adult who has stepped into society, Qi Xingchen can understand and cooperate if the program group wants to set a debut quota.
But half of the default...
Is it a little too much.
Thinking of this, Qi Xingchen frowned, closed the file, and didn't remember the names of these people at all, and how to comment on it when he was about to officially start the recording.
At this time, the phone "Zizi—".
Bai Ye sent a WeChat message: Read the information carefully
Qi Xingchen frowned even tighter - did Bai Ye agree with the script
Is he... so unprincipled
Qi Xingchen looked up at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye put away his phone, ignored Qi Xingchen, and pushed the information back to the director.
"I'll judge by my own standards."
Qi Xingchen's brows instantly relaxed.
The editor probably knew Bai Ye's character well, so he didn't argue with him, and smoothed things over with a smile: "I just want to say that, the three of them are pretty good. I don't talk too much, and Teacher Bai will definitely agree."
Bai Ye was noncommittal, and smiled, and the matter was fully revealed.
Next, the editor gave a few points for attention. After the meeting ended, Bai Ye called Qi Xingchen: "Xing Xing, follow me."
The director paused.
After packing up his personal belongings, Zheng Yuyang was surprised when he heard this sentence: "Do you know each other?"
"They filmed a variety show together, and I watched it," Chen Jiayi joked, "Yuyang, you spend all your time writing songs."
Zheng Yuyang hurriedly said that he was very busy this year, and he hadn't devoted much time to watching variety shows. It's shameful to be ignorant. Wei Qin stood beside them with a calm expression, listening to them.
Bai Ye exchanged pleasantries with everyone and took Qi Xingchen away.
Qi Xingchen followed Bai Ye, knowing that he would probably be scolded.
Sure enough, after getting into the car, Bai Ye said with a straight face: "Sit."
Qi Xingchen bit the bullet and sat down.
"At the meeting just now, you were too obvious."
"It's because they went too far, I couldn't hold back." Qi Xingchen defended in a low voice.
Bai Ye pressed his eyebrows: "I understand your thoughts, but you haven't gained a firm foothold yet, so don't offend anyone casually. Besides—"
"Besides, there is still me," Bai Ye sighed, "In the future, if you encounter problems, you can discuss with me first, don't act casually, can you do it?"
Qi Xingchen suddenly had the illusion that "there is someone above me", lowered his head and said obediently: "Okay, I can do it."
Not long after Bai Yexin was released, he had a busy schedule, and after training, Qi Xingchen took the initiative to say goodbye.
He opened the car door and jumped down, and happened to run into Wei Qin who was about to get in the car.
"What a coincidence." Qi Xingchen greeted.
Wei Qin nodded, and then asked Bai Ye: "Brother Ye, will there be an announcement later?"
Bai Ye said "hmm".
"Forget it, I still want to have dinner with you." Wei Qin said regretfully.
With high talent and a good family background, Wei Qin has traveled smoothly all the way and has a very proud personality.
Qi Xingchen can understand people with this kind of character, so it's no wonder that he is indifferent to him and goes back to his nanny car on his own.
An Ran was leaning on the front windshield, stretching her neck and looking out. Qi Xingchen was curious: "What are you looking for?"
"Observe the enemy's situation."
"Enemy?" Qi Xingchen didn't understand.
"Didn't you see?" An Ran pouted, "Wei Qin tried his best to get close to Brother Ye."
How much money does Wei Qin have to do with Bai Ye for dinner? Qi Xingchen was confused.
Seeing that he was puzzled, An Ran sat upright and gave him a popular science: "At the press conference after C's debut the year before last, the reporter asked Wei Qin why he entered the entertainment industry. Guess how he answered."
"Because you like dancing and singing?"
"Wrong," An Ran compared a big X, "He said that he gave up the opportunity to study abroad and chose to join an entertainment company as a trainee because of Bai Ye. Bai Ye is his idol."
It turns out that Wei Qin is also a fan of Bai Ye? Qi Xingchen was startled.
Immediately, he bit his lower lip.
Wei Qin is so good, with Bai Ye's character of being a fan, he must appreciate Wei Qin more than himself.
"That's why I have to keep an eye on him! Don't let him dismantle...uh..." An Ran remembered that her artistes were explicitly prohibited from engaging in CP, and quickly shut her mouth.
Qi Xingchen didn't listen to what she said, and played back Wei Qin's stage performance on the day of the music festival in his mind.
When he didn't know, he didn't feel anything. Knowing that his idol was Bai Ye, Qi Xingchen realized that there were indeed many similarities between his typhoon and Bai Ye.
I'm afraid it's on par with how much I admire Bai Ye.
Since the program team requires you to complete the grade evaluation of 88 trainees in one day, Qi Xingchen's nanny car stopped at the gate of Dongcheng at 6 o'clock in the morning.
In the past, no eyes could see Mount Tai, and Noah equipped Qi Xingchen with the lowest grade commercial vehicle. How dare you neglect Qi Xingchen now, give him the company's highest-level RV, and send a special stylist by the way.
The stylist's name is Jiang Jiang. Her name sounds soft, but she is a big sister who doesn't talk too much.
Guessing that Dongcheng's backstage has been busy, Jiang Jiang directly styled him in the RV, without bangs and army green overalls, the boy next door transformed into a cool guy.
Qi Xingchen was indescribably satisfied, and entered the studio with a sullen expression. Chen Jiayi, who had already done her makeup and hair, saw him and gave a thumbs up: "Brother Xiao Qi died today, I want to be your big sister fan for a day."
"Then I will tidy up tomorrow, and you will be my fan for a day." Zheng Yuyang pretended to be jealous.
"Hahaha, I'm also your fan now. Brother Xiao Qi depends on his appearance, and you rely on his voice, perfect."
"Why, what do you mean I'm not good looking?"
"You heard it, ahahahahaha."
As soon as the two of them sang together, Qi Xingchen was a little embarrassed by the praise, and then giggled. Not long after, two figures appeared at the door, and with the sound of the camera rolling, the three subconsciously looked there.
I saw Bai Ye wearing a black casual silk shirt, with dark lines on the neckline and cuffs, which made his already cold and pale complexion even whiter.
The bangs are divided into threes and sevens, the three parts are combed to the back, and the seven parts are left in a few loose strands hanging on the forehead. The overall shape is simple, lazy and dignified.
Wei Qin wore a white shirt with bangs parted in the middle, which should have a fresher feel, but he paired it with a black velvet chocker, pure and lustful.
"Hey," Chen Jiayi said in amazement, "The look you two made together in the morning? One black and one white, black and white?!"
"Coincidence." Bai Ye replied, looking for the figure of a small fan, and then found the target on the far right of the seat.
The target is keeping his ears to the outside world, only looking at the process book, and is very focused.
Bai Ye walked to his desk and tapped on it.
Qi Xingchen slowly raised his chin: "You're here... I just saw it."
Bai Ye didn't answer, and put a bottle of milk on his desk.
Wei Qin's eyes darkened.
All the instructors arrived, the infield director and the backstage director reminded the process again, and the recording officially started.
The strength of the first few groups of trainees was average, hovering between cf, the five instructors hardly had any disagreements, and the progress was rapid.
The seventh individual trainee who appeared on the stage made everyone serious-he was one of the trainees who made the instructor "raise his hand" as the director said.
However, the choreographer did not bluff people, his singing and dancing skills are good, and the typhoon is stable. At the end of the two-minute performance, the instructors unanimously rated him as an A-level.
The trainee bowed and left, walked backstage, and asked him, "How is your performance?"
"Average, a little nervous."
"Why nervous?"
"I've been waiting for this stage for too long, and I'm especially afraid that I won't perform well. Besides, Senior Bai Ye has a strong aura. When he is serious, he is very scary. I accidentally glanced at him in the middle of the dance, and thought he had sung. , startled!"
"Ah, ah, what a great result we got, we got the first a," the assistant asked after comforting me, "What about the other instructors, how do you feel?"
"Ms. Chen is more gentle; Mr. Zheng has a sharp ear; Mr. Wei Qin has very high requirements for dance, and gave me a few pointers, and every sentence hit the point; Starlight Observer—"
Having said that, he paused, as if he was thinking about how to say mellowness.
In the end, he commented: "He is very handsome and very serious."
He said it nicely, and the chief director behind the monitor heard the deep meaning in it.
Strong trainees don't need to care about starlight observers at all. During the performance, he probably didn't even look at Qi Xingchen, so he could only pick out the wrong words in the evaluation.
The chief director ordered the editing: "All this interview is preserved."
"Understood, Director Wang."
During the backstage interviews, the frontstage trainees appeared one after another.
After the first two groups, the Noah Entertainment logo appeared on the LCD screen. Chen Jiayi said, "Xing Xing belongs to your company."
Bai Ye, as a veteran figure who accompanied Noah in his development, holds a part of Noah's shares. The brokerage contract is extremely loose, and he is basically in a state of being half-detached from Noah. Otherwise, Alan and others would not call him the boss.
In this way, Qi Xingchen and Noah's trainees have a deeper relationship and are more topical, so Zheng Yuyang directly cue Qi Xingchen.
Qi Xingchen nodded, in order not to let Han Qing feel a sense of gap, he did not reveal that he and Han Qing were friends.
"Then you must not be partial." Zheng Yuyang joked.
Qi Xingchen smiled: "With you, I dare not."
Noah chose a typical men's group dance music with a strong sense of rhythm. He came from a big company with solid basic skills, and the knives and group dances were well coordinated. After singing a song, the instructors all showed satisfied expressions.
To avoid suspicion, Qi Xingchen does not intend to participate in the rating discussion. However, after everyone finished expressing their opinions, Wei Qin turned his head: "What do Starlight Observers think?"
Since he couldn't hide, Qi Xingchen could only express: "The overall performance is good. Numbers 1 and 3 are either a or a-, numbers 2 and 5 are fine from b to c, and number 4's singing skills are weak, let's say d."
Number 3 is Han Qing, and Han Qing is a little elated when he hears this.
For him, the affirmation of friends is much more important than other mentors.
"I think number 3 is average."
Wei Qin said: "In the whole performance, he was in charge of the lifting movements. Maybe he didn't master the technical movements well enough. I think he should be given a b and leave it for follow-up observation. The rest of the opinions are with you. Same."
