This star wants to retire - Chapter 2
“Creating an Idol” is a male idol group talent show produced by Director Ning Dan, who is known as the “godmother of talent shows”.
This show has a total of 100 male trainees participating, ranging in age from 18 to 24 years old.
Yes, Luo Mo is fortunate to be the eldest brother among these 100 men.
The so-called “trainees”, to put it simply, are people who are still practicing and training and have not yet officially debuted as idols and artists.
According to the data given by the program team and the publicity of the program before the official recording, a total of 87 companies signed up for this program. The trainees registered by 87 companies, plus the individual trainees who have not signed with the company, the number of people screened during the initial screening was as high as more than 4,700.
In fact, there are even more people who don’t even qualify for the screening.
Director Ning Dan’s golden signboard is hanging there, and this program has a strong foundation as the title sponsor. This kind of billion-level production will definitely attract people.
It can be said that these 100 trainees are all carefully selected.
They may not all be strong, but they definitely have their own characteristics.
After all, variety shows are meant to be good-looking, and sometimes for entertainment, there have to be some cats and dogs.
Luo Mo roughly figured out his current situation based on the clear memories of the past three years that he has received.
“Thank God!” Luo Mo said in his heart.
Luo Mo in this world is not a trainee of those 87 companies, and can’t even be considered a trainee.
To be precise, he was pulled here to make up the numbers.
Originally, he came here as a staff member.
He knows classical dance and opera, and is the talent needed by the program team.
When the trainees are practicing and rehearsing, he can be an assistant to the dance teacher.
If opera elements are involved, he can do more.
Therefore, in essence, he is a member of Director Ning Dan’s staff and a member of the program team.
——He came to work.
This guy never thought about being an idol before.
But, as luck would have it, just a few days before the recording of the show, another talent show had a big storm.
The backgrounds of two popular contestants were exposed. One had a lot of black history and even participated in school violence, while the other had a complicated family background and could not withstand in-depth digging.
This incident caused a big stir and was on the hot search, attracting the attention of many media.
Countless netizens questioned-“Is the threshold of the entertainment industry so low?”
This made Director Ning Dan smell something.
She immediately began to thoroughly investigate the contestants of her own program.
Then, three trainees were withdrawn from the competition.
“This director has good means and is ruthless.” Luo Mo made a comment in his heart.
This series of operations will indeed offend some companies in the circle.
However, the program team specially bought hot searches for this matter, and pushed Director Ning Dan’s self-examination to the top three of the hot search list, which attracted praise.
This made the program popular before it was recorded!
However, the side effect is that her every move will be watched.
Originally, there were three vacancies, and other companies or individual trainees might have the opportunity to operate.
Who doesn’t want to get involved in such a big variety show?
I wish I could squeeze it in.
However, due to the high attention and the fact that the program was about to start recording, Director Ning Dan decided to play it safe.
Her approach was to pick three people
to make up the number. It would be too late to carefully select them.
What’s more, they were selected from the “garbage dump”.
Originally, most of the 100 carefully selected people would be runners-up, and some might not even have many shots. It would be meaningless to pick from the remaining ones.
It would be better to just randomly squeeze in three people to make up the number, after all, the total number of 100 trainees cannot be changed.
For Director Ning Dan, [easy to control] is very important.
Luo Mo was targeted.
The reason is simple, he looks good.
There is another reason, Luo Mo was recommended by [dance instructor] Jiang Ningxi.
Since it is a boy group talent show, celebrities must be involved.
“Produce Idol” is rich, and the queen Xu Chujing serves as the [National Producer Representative] to lead the program.
Jiang Ningxi and Shen Yinuo, members of the popular idol girl group [Aurora Girls], serve as dance instructors.
Well-known singer Wei Ran serves as music instructor.
Well-known rapper Li Ge served as rap instructor.
The reason why Luo Mo was recommended by girl group member Jiang Ningxi and got the job opportunity was because the two were deskmates in junior high school.
At the same time, there was an extra layer of relationship.
Jiang Ningxi was his ex-girlfriend, the kind of early love in junior high school, and took the initiative to write him a love letter, and it was she who took the initiative to confess.
Of course, this was an underground relationship, early love, secretly.
Therefore, after Jiang Ningxi debuted in the girl group, this matter was not exposed.
She and Luo Mo had no contact for a long time, but once at a dinner with director Ning Dan, she heard her needs for staff and thought of Luo Mo, who had studied opera since childhood and later learned classical dance.
At the same time, in her opinion, this was also a benefit and reward for him. After all, Luo Mo never mentioned their immature relationship to anyone from beginning to end, even though they were each other’s first love in a strict sense.
“My Girl Group First Love Girlfriend?” After integrating the clear memories of the past three years, Luo Mo thought of this matter, and these big words emerged in his mind.
“It turns out that when the memories merged, the scene I saw in the third year of junior high school, the ugly duckling who kissed me in the grove was her!” Luo Mo was a little speechless.
It must be said that Luo Mo was still very innocent in junior high school.
Jiang Ningxi wanted him to be handsome, and he wanted Jiang Ningxi to have good grades…
She wanted to secretly hold hands with the handsome guy who was famous in the whole school, and he just wanted the top female student in the school to tutor him after school…
This made him feel both funny and sad when he thought about it later.
But who knows, girls change a lot when they grow up.
When dancing a girl group dance, her legs were full of her brain.
“She was so thin at the beginning, and her hair was yellow. She looked malnourished.” Luo Mo said in his heart.
“But she is very strong, it hurts a lot to hit people, and she can also stab people with a pen.” He couldn’t help but smile.
But it’s true that Luo Mo used to participate in various performance activities in school because he had been learning opera since elementary school. He could sing on stage and hit high notes, and he was also tall and handsome, so he always had the priority in choosing a mate in school since he was a child.
It’s just that he didn’t get it when he was young, and maybe it has something to do with his late development.
As for why Luo Mo, who was originally unwilling to participate in “Produce Idol”, finally became a contestant from a staff member?
Luo Mo sighed and said in his heart: “I wanted to refuse loudly, but they really gave too much.”
Before he was eliminated from the show, he could get double the salary for every day he spent.
The working treatment of the program group was originally very good, after all, they had to sign a confidentiality agreement. Now that the salary has doubled, the amount cannot be underestimated.
Of course, this is just a joke, or it is only part of the reason. The
reason why Luo Mo agreed to work here was to see if there was a chance to sing opera.
Although his master, Mr. Tong Qinglin, is not a master in the opera world, he is definitely a famous master and has been a “star”.
After he got older, Tong Qinglin has been committed to promoting opera culture.
As the least talented disciple of the old man, Luo Mo still attaches great importance to this opportunity. At least if the master can be happy, then everything is worth it!
And he does have an unparalleled love for opera.
As for now…
“This situation is not bad.” Luo Mo, who is well versed in the ways of talent shows in the entertainment industry, has a long-term plan in mind.
“We can attack and defend, a perfect start.”
“The company behind us has not signed a contract, and the temporary contract with the program team is also an employee contract, but an additional supplementary agreement has been signed.”
“After all, I am paid!”
Luo Mo never thought that one day he would participate in a talent show, and it would be a paid talent show.
You know, with the current doorway of many talent shows, the contestants have to pay out of their own pockets and pay a lot of costs.
“Absolutely!” Luo Mo thought.
At this time, the wake-up bell rang, and the day broke.
……..
On the other side, the [National Producer Representative] of “Produce Idol”, the queen-level superstar Xu Chujing, woke up from the soft big bed in the hotel suite arranged by the program team.
There was some confusion in her eyes.
That night, she had a very long dream.
In the dream, she turned into a cat named [Bai Bai Bai].
