The idol talent show that Gu Caiwei mentioned was recorded in a film and television town near the capital. What’s interesting is that it’s called “Dachang.”
This show will be recorded for more than ten episodes, which is said to last four months, but those are only the selected male group trainees.
As the mentor in the show, Gu Caiwei's official name is the "National Producer Representative" which is a long and stinky name. She definitely doesn't need to stay here all the time. She just needs to show up during the recording.
When she got this opportunity, Peng Yuchen told her:
"Originally, the program team invited another top member of the boy band to serve as the so-called national producer representative, but after I brought you in to join us, the other party would rather withdraw than pay liquidated damages."
"He and Kris, who is serving prison time, were teammates in Korea before. I guess he was wary of being your partner, so he didn't dare to come."
"Although the other party was scared away because of his cowardice, it is related to us after all, so you should pay attention to the relationship within the program team when recording."
Gu Caiwei has become very accustomed to her "evil reputation" and the avoidance of male artists like snakes and scorpions.
Peng Yuchen gave these instructions, but he also thought that handling relationships was not Gu Caiwei's strong point. After thinking about it, he still said uneasily:
"This is your first time, let me go with you."
So on the day, Peng Yuchen showed up at the scene with Gu Caiwei, asking the latter to say hello to several other instructors.
In addition to Gu Caiwei, the show also has a music instructor, two rap instructors and two dance instructors, all of whom are not very old and not very famous.
To put it bluntly, Gu Caiwei is the biggest celebrity here, or why does she have the longest title?
After all, they are insiders, everyone knows the rules, and everyone has heard of Gu Caiwei's reputation, so the other instructors maintain a polite attitude and sufficient social distance.
On the other hand, Peng Yuchen asked his subordinates to bring some small gifts to the on-site staff, and also cleared the relationship with the chief director and other important figures of the program team one by one, and managed everything in place.
Then the show officially started recording.
One hundred men's team trainees participating in the selection will appear and perform individually according to the agency. They will then be evaluated and divided into groups by the instructors.
The backgrounds of these batches of fresh meat vary greatly.
Generally speaking, those who come from large companies are more "well-trained". Not only are they more proficient in business skills, but they also have a more confident and stable mentality.
People who come from small companies are more surprised. For example, when someone saw Gu Caiwei, they screamed and exaggeratedly expressed that they were her fans.
Just stealing the spotlight.
Trainees from big companies are dismissive of such stupid behavior, because they were warned long ago before coming here to keep a distance from this instructor.
Of course, the terms "big companies" and "small companies" here are only comparative within the industry.
After all, in the idol industry, Iron Eater Entertainment, which has top-notch girl group GIVE ME FIVE and a new boy group that is only slightly popular, is already a remarkable existence.
If Peng Yuchen appears on the show, he should be as a "big boss".
It is conceivable that those little miscellaneous fish who are trying to make up for their mistakes are no different from the leather bag companies who want to run away when they follow them. Maybe they are "outsiders" at all.
In short, it was just a group of weird guys who forcibly got together to create a so-called men's team draft in the style of "picking the general from the dwarf".
Everything is recording fine.
Gu Caiwei's professional attitude is well-known. She will not make any mistakes at the scene. She will completely follow the procedures and requirements of the program team and complete the work with quality and quantity.
However, during the break, a little accident occurred.
A middle-aged man in his forties, with a somewhat academic look, suddenly walked into the scene, startling the person in charge of the program team.
The chief director hurriedly came forward and asked: "Dr. Gong, why didn't you notify us in advance when you came? We can arrange to pick you up."
The other party waved his hand: "It's okay, I remembered that the recording will start today, so I came over to take a look."
Even those with low status at the scene would not be able to recognize this visitor. There would inevitably be whispers and questions: "Who is this person?"
Immediately someone started showing off.
"Dr. Gong Yu, the founder and CEO of Kiwifruit, and the producer of this show!"
When the person who announced the answer saw that the little fresh guy who asked the question was indifferent, he knew that these ignorant Muggles couldn't understand it at all, so he had to add:
"You just need to know that he is the big boss of this show."
"Wow!"
A group of trainees who didn't know whether they could graduate from middle school normally made cheers of realization and confusion.
In fact, there is still a doubt in their limited minds. Since he is the big boss, why do they still call him Dr. Gong? Shouldn't he be called Boss Gong?
A doctorate is different from a master's degree.
The master's degree craze is purely a product of academic inflation and involution.
But a doctorate is the last threshold in the education and scientific research system, and the standards are very strict. There are many people who can't get a degree after ten years of hard work.
For an individual, a doctorate is a comprehensive reflection of knowledge and scholarship and is worthy of being printed on a business card; for a country, the number of doctorates is an important indicator of scientific research capabilities.
There are many people like Gong Yu who prefer to be called Doctor rather than Boss.
The producer of this program expressed condolences to the staff, looked around and asked:
"Where is Teacher Gu?"
The chief director didn't react for a moment. After thinking for three seconds, he had to ask in embarrassment:
"Which Teacher Gu?"
No wonder he didn't expect it, because on the show set, all the artists call the staff, and all cats and dogs are called teachers; the staff will call the artists, unless they are older and have a higher status, they will call them teachers.
Gu Caiwei is only in her twenties and is a "girl idol". Although she plays an actual mentor role in the show, she has never been called "Teacher Gu".
Gong Yu immediately understood that his title was wrong, because with his status, he rarely came forward to deal with artists directly, especially artists who did not have enough status.
He did not explain why he called it that, but just added:
"Didn't Teacher Gu Caiwei from GIVE ME FIVE serve as the national producer representative? She should be here today, right?"
Teacher Gu Caiwei?
The chief director felt that today was an eye-opener, and quickly replied: "Come on, come on, it's rest time now, she should be backstage, or in her nanny car."
"Come on, come on!"
He greeted Gong Yu directly without waiting for instructions, "Go and see where Teacher Gu Caiwei is right now and invite someone over. Please, do you understand?"
The chief director felt that he paid enough attention to it. The staff members who were caught were stunned for a moment. After understanding, they were about to agree, but they were stopped by Gong Yu.
"I'd better go there."
The director was so scared that his liver trembled. Fortunately, he had been very respectful just now.
I've long heard that that guy's background is scary, but no matter how big a celebrity he is, he's just an artist, and it's not like he hasn't worked with female stars who have financial backers behind him.
Good guy, even Dr. Gong Yu wants to see him in person?
