Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

The summer of 2010 in Kyoto was still muggy.

But as the sun sets and the moon rises, there is finally a slight chill in the air.

Even though the sky is still full of stars, there is still a group of trainees practicing dance desperately in the annex building of Huayi Building.

"Ah, I can't stand it anymore, I can't jump anymore, I'm too tired!" A girl screamed, and then sat down on the floor without any image.

"There's still an hour before the lights are turned off. Let's hurry up and practice."

"No, my legs are going to cramp." The girl sitting on the ground cried out in pain as she looked at the hand stretched out by her friend.

Seeing the girl panting from exhaustion, the girl who reached out finally stopped insisting and said, "Then rest for ten minutes and I will get you some water."

Two minutes later, the two girls were lying on the floor imageless with more than half of a bottle of mineral water in their hands.

"Xiaochen (Xijun), do you think we can debut?" The two of them suddenly said at the same time. When they finished speaking, they realized that the other party had said the same thing at the same time, and they couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm not confident." After laughing, Liu Xiyun replied frankly.

"How is it possible? You are the fifth in Super Girl, and you also have your fan support club. I went to see it, and there are hundreds of thousands of people. How could the company not let you debut?" Xiaochen retorted.

In her opinion, although Liu Xiyun has not debuted, she is no different from a debut artist. In other words, she is already a debut artist.

But after hearing Xiaochen's words, Liu Xiyun shook her head.

"That's not a fan support club. It's just my Weibo. If you grab a lot of celebrities with hundreds of thousands of fans online, what does it matter to me." After saying this, Liu Xiyun laughed at herself before continuing.

"My dream debut is to at least be like our senior Jane Zhang, with Nie Wei personally escorting her to create the title song. Of course, I actually envy senior Alan even more."

"It's a pity that this dream may only stay in my dream, alas." Liu Xiyun sighed, looking depressed.

Xiaochen on the side did not speak, mainly because she didn't know how to comfort Liu Xiyun at this time.

He said that Nie Wei would definitely write a song for her. Xiaochen himself didn’t believe it. He said that Nie Wei would not write a song for her, so it would be better not to persuade her. Anyway, this ‘difficulty’ made Xiaochen fall into it for a while. distressed.

Liu Xiyun, on the other hand, sighed with emotion and quickly regained his energy.

"Don't think so much. Isn't the company going to launch a girl group soon? I have to give it a try. If I can't become Alan senior, I can also be like the WIN group. I can't exclusively enjoy Nie Wei's songs, but At least I can sing with everyone."

After boosting her morale, Liu Xiyun waved to Xiaochen, who was still sitting on the ground: "Come on, get up, let's practice for another half an hour. I still don't believe that I can't learn this dance."

"Okay." Xiaochen smiled and was infected by Liu Xiyun's high-spirited look.

After practicing for another half an hour, the two rushed into the company's bathroom dripping with sweat, took a cold shower, and returned to the dormitory with wet hair.

At this time, the other two companions in the dormitory were already lying on the bed, one was reading a book, and the other was playing on his mobile phone.

"You're practicing so late again, you guys are working too hard." After seeing Xiaochen and Liu Xiyun come back, the girl playing with her mobile phone couldn't help but said.

Liu Xiyun hunched her shoulders and said with a self-deprecating smile: "We are the worst dancers in Class A. I don't want to be rated down by the trainees below next time."

"Ah, stop talking." After hearing Liu Xiyun's words, the girl who was reading threw the book aside and cried out in pain.

After shouting these words, the girl rolled over from the bed under the surprised eyes of the other three people, and then ran out of the dormitory.

"What's wrong with her?"

"Stop chasing her. Just let her be quiet." The girl playing with her mobile phone saw Xiaochen trying to chase her out, so she stopped her and then explained: "The teacher came to the dormitory when you were doing extra training. After training, Ranran, He said that her recent performance was very bad, and that if she continued like this, she would fall down in the next evaluation, so she was under a lot of psychological pressure. "

After listening to the girl's explanation, Liu Xiyun and Xiaochen looked at each other and saw deep pressure in each other's eyes.

Including the girls who were playing with their mobile phones, all the trainees became nervous a month ago when they learned that the company was preparing to form a girl group.

The A-level trainees seem to be closest to the girl group that will be formed, but they are also the most stressed.

They have to compete with the people around them, and at the same time, they have to guard against the people below suddenly jumping up and squeezing them out. Especially when their debut is just around the corner, none of them are willing to relax.

Even though the two people who returned to the dormitory first tonight seemed not to be paying attention to Xiao Chen's hard work, in fact, it was because they were contacted about singing skills today. It was the vocal teacher who stopped them from continuing to practice for fear that they would hurt their throats, so they stopped them. The dormitory that I was driven back to.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that there is no need to go to the practice room tomorrow morning. We will meet at the hotel downstairs in the dormitory. Then the teacher will take us to watch Brother Nie Wei's new movie." When Nie Wei's new movie was mentioned, the girl's face I finally had a smile on my face.

Liu Xiyun and Xiaochen also showed expressions of surprise, and Liu Xiyun even asked quickly: "Are all our trainees going?"

"Yes, I heard that they have booked a large screening room that can accommodate hundreds of people."

"Wow, that's great, there's a movie tomorrow, no, I have to wash up quickly and have a good sleep, I've been looking forward to "The Martian" for a long time, go to bed early and get up early, I want to be in good condition tomorrow." Liu Xiyun had already started to find her toiletries while talking, and then hurried out the door.

When Liu Xiyun came back to the dormitory, she also brought the girl who ran away before back with her. It turned out that the girl ran to the bathroom to cry.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the lights went out on time.

Xiaochen hid in the quilt, turned on her mobile phone, and then carefully clicked into the album. The first photo was a photo of her and Nie Wei when he came to the practice room.

She still clearly remembered Nie Wei's encouragement to her that day, which was also the motivation for her to grit her teeth and persevere.

Originally, she was just a girl without a goal. She sang just for fun and never thought about getting anything from singing. Huayi's scout discovered her, and she just rushed in with curiosity about the entertainment industry and signed with Huayi.

She was very lucky, because she was very talented, so she entered the A-level smoothly, so at first she didn't understand the desperate attitude of the girls around her.

It was not until she met more friends that she gradually realized the girl's heart of pursuing her dreams. It was Nie Wei's affirmation of her that time that made her finally determined to embark on the path of an idol seriously.

"I will succeed." Xiaochen looked at the photos in the phone and silently encouraged herself. The smiling look of Nie Wei in the photo seemed to respond to her self-affirmation, which made the girl feel warm and full of strength.

The same was true in the boys' dormitory.

This time, Huayi will not only launch a girl group, but also a new boy group.

This is a plan that has been made long ago. After all, with so many successful idol groups in Japan and South Korea as precedents, the industry has always believed that the interval between a company launching a group should be between three and five years.

This interval can not only ensure that the previous group has time to develop, but also ensure that the company can always let the market feel freshness in terms of idol groups.

At present, the only male group of Huayi is WIN, and they have been debuting for quite a while, so after discussing with Nie Wei and a group of senior executives, Wang Zhonglei felt that a new generation of idol groups could be launched.

And this time, both male and female groups will be launched together. The launch of the male group is naturally to take over the market of WIN.

You must know that in recent years, the popularity of several members of WIN has been very high. They have released four albums in a row, with a total sales of nearly two million. They are among the best album sales among all Asian male groups in recent years.

At this stage, several members of the group are obviously unwilling to be just an idol, so the members of the group also have to start a stage of development to expand their personal careers.

This is also a good time for the company to launch a new male group.

Although the WIN group will not disband, the market will naturally be vacant when the members develop on their own. If Huayi does not take any action, then it can only watch this profit being occupied by other companies.

Moreover, the market also needs some new idol faces. After doing research, Huayi decided to launch a new boy group.

As for the girl group, let alone, Huayi is still blank in the field of girl groups, or it can be said that the entire China is close to blank in the field of girl groups.

You should know that from the beginning of the century to now, for a full ten years, the only Chinese girl groups that can be called names are TWINS and SHE. These two girl groups can be regarded as first-line girl groups, but apart from these two, it is difficult to name another Chinese girl group that can compete with them.

Now, because of Ajiao, TWINS is not as popular as before, and SHE has also begun to fall into the period of individual solo development of the group. The entire Chinese girl group is currently in a completely blank state.

And the entire Chinese market is completely occupied by Japanese and Korean girl groups.

This is also where Nie Wei feels that he made some mistakes. He did not prepare for the formation of a girl group early. Of course, it is not too late now. The shortest trainee in the company has trained for more than ten months, and the longest has trained for one and a half years.

In addition, they have had a long process of learning talents since childhood. Many of them have even reached professional levels in some aspects such as playing, singing, dancing, etc. Their comprehensive qualities are not worse than those trainees in Japan and South Korea who have trained for five or eight years.

What they lack now is an opportunity and a person who can push them.

And Nie Wei can do all these elements.

In addition, now is the best time. The super girl group that will dominate Asia for several years in the future is currently experiencing its most difficult time. If they wait until they are reborn from the ashes, then any girl group can only be their foil.

Only by taking advantage of this stage and launching a girl group to seize the market, there may be a chance in the future.

After turning off the lights, none of the trainees could stay in bed for more than half an hour without falling asleep. The large amount of training every day had already exhausted them. Some girls could even be heard groaning softly after lying in bed for less than a minute, and they had obviously fallen asleep.

The next morning, everyone got up on time, and the dormitory cafeteria, which was only half full every day, was full today.

Because all the trainees were notified that they didn't have to go to the practice room today, but to the cinema to watch Nie Wei's new movie "The Martian".

The trainees naturally cheered for this news.

After all, they are all half-grown children, and the oldest is only in their early twenties. They are in their prime and playful.

For them, this kind of official leisure activity given by the company is undoubtedly a good project for broadcasting.

What's more, it is Nie Wei's new movie, "The Martian" is also the No. 1 most anticipated movie of the year. Such an anticipated movie, of course, everyone is very interested.

After breakfast, everyone gathered downstairs on time at nine o'clock. The company's five buses were already on standby. Trainees of various levels boarded the buses of their own level and headed towards the cinema together.

It must be mentioned that the person in charge of these trainees really implanted the concept of level and comparison into the minds of these trainees all the time. It was not very obvious on the morning bus, but after entering the theater, this comparison came out again.

For example, the trainees of level A can sit in the center facing the I-MAX giant screen, and all are arranged in the golden position of rows 5 and 6.

And the next class B is sitting around class A, also in rows 4, 5, 6 and 7, but the position is slightly off.

As for the rest, according to their own names, the position is getting worse and worse. When it is class F's turn, they can basically only sit at the back, and some unlucky ones can only sit in the corner at the back.

This clear ranking method also allows these half-grown children to deeply understand the reality of society, and they are even more competitive with each other in their hearts.

After all, at their age, they don’t know what fear is, and they have blind confidence in themselves. At least most people think they are no worse than anyone else. Even those in class F have the intention to go to class A.

As everyone sat down, the person in charge came on stage and gave a speech. The main purpose was to arrange a task, which was to tell everyone to write a review of the movie. This news caused a sigh of relief at the scene.

Obviously, whether in school or in the company, homework is always one of the most annoying things for children.

Fortunately, the lights in the theater went out soon. As the screen gradually lit up, the "The Martian" that was about to begin had attracted the attention of all the trainees, making them forget the troubles of homework for a while.

Thanks to Fantasy Paradise and 0773 for their generous rewards.
