It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 390 The First Stage Begins

Most of the 101 trainees screened after registration are trainees consciously cultivated by the entertainment company, or they were caught by the entertainment company when the show was just beginning to prepare for the release of the news, or they were jointly cultivated by foreign entertainment companies and China. Yes, some came back from foreign trainee companies...

These people can be regarded as serious trainees, whether they are good-looking or not, but they have received some professional guidance.

But since there are serious trainees, there are also not so serious trainees, who have not received any professional training and are still amateurs at the beginning of the show. Because of certain characteristics, they were discovered by the entertainment company and sent to the show crew like a living doctor. Participating in the draft, some are directly individual trainees, that is to say, they signed up by themselves, and there is no company standing behind them.

The trainees who don't have a company as a backstage should be at the bottom among the [-] trainees. Even the amateurs who are sent here temporarily are a little better than them.

When formal capital poured into the entertainment industry in 2016, the entertainment industry at this time was chaotic and full of opportunities, just like the chaotic place mentioned in the novel. Although it was dangerous, there were still huge benefits lurking.

Moreover, Mango TV’s talent show voting is an old tradition. This time, in addition to adding a new voting channel on the Mango TV app, the rest is the voting channel obtained through cooperation with advertisers.

The former is shared by everyone, while the latter can only be enjoyed with background and capital.

Mango Channel can be regarded as the originator in the aspect of drafting, and its ability to collect money has also improved with the changes of the times. It is indeed very good.

Back at the audition site, Xu Lai and several other instructors have been looking forward to the first stage of the trainees. After all, they are mules or horses. You will know how much they boasted when they entered the camp. Now it is time to meet their subordinates. When it comes to the real chapter.

After the order of the trainees' first stage performances was taken, Xu Lai also took a look at the order of Huang Xuxi and the others. They were eighth, which was a good number. They would not suffer a loss if they were ranked first, nor would they be ranked last. Influenced by previous performances.

Moreover, the initial stage evaluation system has also been considered. It is not a stage-by-stage rating, but several stages.

Generally speaking, the first one to go on stage will not be the worst, and of course it won't be the best. The first to go on stage are three "juvenile" trainees, the average age is about 16 years old, and Unlike the other trainees who dressed themselves up very maturely, the three of them dressed and made up very youthfully, full of the atmosphere that fifteen or sixteen-year-olds should have.

Their song selection also follows their youthful route. It comes from the song "Magic Castle" by three domestic teenage idols who have become famous. One more thing, these three are from the same company as those three.

So... Although their initial stage is not outstanding, their popularity is estimated to not be low.After all, they are the juniors of those three, so they will be attracted no matter what.

What's more, these three people ranked first on the stage are not bad, and they can even be considered good as a foil to the next few people.

God knows how domestic companies have trained trainees in the past two years, one is more oily than the other, so you have to learn to be decent if you learn from South Korea?I just learned to be a girl, pretend to be cute, but I didn't learn any business ability, which is really outrageous.From this point of view, the first three children were relatively distinctive, at least their style was obvious, and it was easy for the audience to like them.

But the next few are different. They look like elementary school students in their 20s, no, they may even be kindergarten children... and the four instructors in the audience are all men, so they don’t like this at all, and their brows are all like this. It's going to rot.

Especially Liang Bo, who hadn't experienced much "beating" in variety shows, if it wasn't for Xu Lai's face, he really wanted to turn around and leave. Who are these people?
They are not normal trainees at all.

These were relieved after an idol-faced underground rapper named Lighost stood on the stage at the back. If you dare to say that you are from the underground, of course you have to have a few brushes. He is much better than the previous few, but It was still within Xu Lai's expectations, but the strength of the first rapper gave them hope for the future.

After all, the front is really too horrible to look at.

On the stage, I introduced myself to a young man nicknamed Xiao Gui. After the performance, I looked nervously at the four mentors off the stage, especially Xu Lai.

To say that the biggest gimmick in "Idol Trainee 101" must be Xu Lai. It is very rare for an international star to be a mentor in person, let alone have close contact. Of course, these trainees are very excited.

Furthermore, Xu Lai has experience in producing R&B songs, and also has a solid rap foundation as well as a strong ability to write lyrics and compose music. The little ghost just sang an original rap of his own, so naturally he hopes to be recognized by Xu Lai. Bo is at the back.

However, the kid is a rapper, so there is a natural order of judgment. Huang Zitao will talk about the stage first, Liang Bo will talk about the creation, and Xu will add it last.The two people in front of them are quite rich in experience, plus Lu Han's occasional sentence or two, basically explained the little ghost's problem out of ten, but the little ghost still didn't thank him and said that he would leave the stage.

"Wait for you to speak a few words." Lu Han understood the kid's thoughts from the side, and nudged Xu Lai to make him speak a few words.

"Me?" Xu Lai looked at the little ghost on the stage. After he said this, the little ghost's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.

"My words... In fact, the three mentors have basically finished talking about you, whether it is on stage or in creation. I still like you as an original musician, and I also think that rappers can learn black culture. , but you have to take the essence and discard the dross. At least the things written in the song have positive energy. It doesn’t mean that you must swear, talk about money, and women to appear real. I think you are quite real today. Come on .” Xu Lai encouraged the kid.

Then after the kid bowed and he was in a good mood, he smiled and said to the kid who was about to turn around and leave, "I still have some good experience in R&B music and music production. If you have good ideas, you can come and talk to me." comminicate."

"Wow~" Not only was the kid excited this time, but the trainees sitting behind Xu Lai and the others exclaimed one after another. This time, they didn't pretend to be exaggerated to steal the spotlight, but they really felt exaggerated.

Anyway, regardless of whether the kid can debut or not, getting Xu Lai's words is already worth it.
