Xu Meng said in surprise: "Commander Yao is not yet 40 years old, how can he retire?"
"I don't know, I just have an intuition... But speaking of it, I won't be able to work for a few more years. I'll be over 40 in the blink of an eye, and it'll be 50 in the next blink of an eye. I don't want to still be working with a head of gray hair!"
"Then what do you think?"
"Me? Of course I am taking Yuanyuan, Yifei, Nazha, and Reba to retreat into the world and live my life as a fairy."
"Please! You really think you are attractive. Who will follow you when you retire?"
"Why am I no longer attractive..."
Yu Jiajia saw Xu Meng roll his eyes and said with a smile: "That's what I thought. You have gained experience in all aspects now. Get ready and take over my shift when the time comes."
"OK!"
Xu Meng did not refuse or refute, only nodded.
Yu Jiajia patted her and smiled. The close friendship between the two was no secret for a long time.
Yu Jiajia doesn't want to be in the entertainment industry in her fifties or sixties, or in other words, she doesn't want to face newcomers one after another as an older person.
It will make her jealous and powerless.
To put it simply: I have had enough waste and want to be a good person.
She came over to take a look and then returned to the capital, leaving Xu Meng to stay and take charge of the overall situation.
At the same time, about 30 girl group members from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as individual newcomers, Internet celebrities, art school students, etc., gathered in this inconspicuous overseas Chinese town in the east of Shenzhen.
"Produce 101" war ignited.
…………
The first episode, recording scene.
This is a huge stage. On the edge of the stage is the instructor's seat, and behind the seat is a stepped seat for members.
In the end, 11 people were selected to debut, so there is only one seat at the top, representing seat C. There are 2 seats on the left and right on the lower floor, with numbers 2, 3, 4, and 5.
On the next floor, there are three on the left and right, which are 6-11.
In the original version, after the first rating, Meng Meiqi sat in the No. 2 position, and at the end of the show, she was the first with the most votes and won the championship.
There is no script in this, and Yao Yuan doesn't believe it.
He sent four returnees from overseas, Meng Meiqi, Wu Xuanyi, Cheng Xiao, and Zhou Jieqiong, as well as eight people from SNH48 represented by Yang Chaoyue, a total of 12 people.
Ju Jingyi is not in it. She is too short and would not be coordinated in a group.
Meng Meiqi was very popular in later generations and was favored by capital, but ended up falling short.
This nonsense is nothing in the entertainment industry. She is really strong in overall strength and is good at singing and dancing. Yao Yuan wants to build the girl group into a traffic pool, and Meng Meiqi can use it, but the champion will choose someone else, Wu Xuanyi or Cheng Xiao.
But these two people are more academic, good at dancing but poor at singing.
Xu Meng started devil training for the two, so as not to be unable to take advantage of them. Yu Jiajia leaned towards Wu Xuanyi because Wu Xuanyi was a sweet girl.
Well, Jinsha used to be a sweet girl too.
Back then, "Super Girl" was a hit all over the country because ordinary people had never seen this kind of program. Now when "Super Girl" comes again, no one will watch it.
Demand is escalating, and programs must also be upgraded.
The audience has passed the stage of "appraising ugliness" and "appraising ordinary people". They no longer want to watch simple things, but want to see something real. "Produce 101" came into being.
Most of the girls in it are great, some sing well, some dance well, and some are good at rapping. Everyone is full of personality and in line with the aesthetics of contemporary young audiences.
But in essence, it is still the same as in variety shows: the deep love between sisters, the bickering, she is good with her, and she is not good with her... This set of things will never go out of style.
Fans follow it as a drama, they feel immersed in it, they are willing to spend money, and they feel a sense of companionship.
Those who are not fans of celebrities cannot empathize with them.
…
"Wow, it's so dark!"
"Why is there no one? Are we the first?"
"Hi, we are the Bee Girls!"
During the recording of the first episode of "Produce 101", three girls took the lead and stepped onto the stage curiously. Looking at the empty and dark scene, they were a little overwhelmed.
They are from an unknown girl group called Bee Girls - in fact, no domestic girl group can break through the circle now, and it was only from the Creation Camp that they became known.
When the three girls walked to the edge of the stage, the lights came on and the 101 stepped seats appeared in front of them.
"Please choose the corresponding seat based on your self-identification!"
"Oh my god!"
"Such a big scene?"
The members are all in their true state without any pretense, which is also a highlight of the show. The three of them didn't dare to take the top spot, so they chose numbers 35-37.
Immediately afterwards, groups or individual members appeared one after another.
Before going on stage, they will also introduce the brokerage company they belong to. People from small companies have a little inferiority complex and envy those from big companies.
"Wow, Huayi!"
"Emperor! There are also Hong Kong people!"
"Universal Music, oh my God!"
"Jiao Manting...Jiao Enjun's daughter, her father is so handsome!"
"Wow, Wang Sicong's company!"
“Super rich!”
Some of the girls were wearing Hanfu, some were wearing uniforms, and some were wearing hip-hop. They were chattering and many were already seated.
Following the eight members of SNH48, Yang Chaoyue was mixed in. He was inconspicuous at the moment, and he and his friends found seats below.
While everyone was discussing, they were all thinking about one thing: Did 99 Entertainment send anyone?
Although Huayi, Emperor, and Banana are big companies, 99 Entertainment is the overlord. They really want to see it. Of course this is impossible. The show is produced by 99, and they send their own people?
That doesn’t make sense!
You have to cover up a thing or two.
As a result, Meng Meiqi, Wu Xuanyi, Cheng Xiao, and Zhou Jieqiong appeared in groups of two under the names of two shell companies. They appeared very far back and could only find a corner to sit down.
When all seats were filled, the instructors performed a program and the ceremony officially began.
A group of groups will be shown and then rated. Those who are rated as Class A can actually sit in positions 1-11. If the seats are full, but there are still players who rated Class A behind, one person will be randomly selected to battle.
The winner sits on it.
The recording process was extremely long and a test of physical strength. There were two breaks in the middle. Everyone was a little exhausted and had to keep a smile on their face.
Xu Meng kept staring. The person she wanted to escort was Cheng Xiao.
Yu Jiajia likes Wu Xuanyi, but she insists on confronting him, focusing on a rebellious character.
…
Cheng Xiao's buttocks were numb.
She is from Shenzhen, 19 years old, and worked as a trainee in South Korea. Later she joined the group "Cosmic Girls" and was hired by 99 Entertainment, and now she is presented with "Produce 101".
Cheng Xiao is not tall, but she is beautiful and has an amazing figure.
She was actually a little confused and didn't know what was waiting for her. She could only listen to the company and do whatever the company told her to do.
After waiting for a long time, it was finally her turn to perform. She danced a dance on stage and got the grade of Class A. But Class A is now full and she needs to find someone to PK.
"..."
She knew that programs usually had scripts, but she didn't get any notice. When she was wondering which person to choose, a voice suddenly came from the earphones.
"Choose seat 1!"
Cheng Xiao suddenly raised his head, looked at the player sitting in seat 1, and strode up.
She is not stupid and knows what this means.
Sure enough, she successfully defeated the opponent in PK and sat in seat 1, with a shiny "Produce 101" sign above her head.
…
"OK! After hard work, the first recording session is completed!"
After a whole day, we finally called it a day.
Xu Meng is also very tired, but she has gained something. She already has a 30-person candidate list in her mind. What she plays is the process, the excitement, the topic, and the fans shouting and calling like crazy.
These 30 people will be constantly adjusted and selected based on the popularity and comments of each episode. Or if someone else suddenly emerges and suddenly becomes a topic, they can also be added to the candidate list.
The result actually doesn't matter, as long as 11 people are selected in the end, it's OK.
This is the most authentic process of this type of program.
