Wall climbing observation diary

It was already twelve noon the next day when Chu Qi woke up.He stared at the big time on the phone, feeling a little dazed for a moment, wondering why he came here one day earlier.

If he hadn't followed Wang Choi over last night, he would have arrived at about twelve o'clock today.

As soon as he turned over, he felt a sore back and a sore back. His eyes were vacant on the ceiling for a while, and he finally regained his energy and got up.Both Yan Ming and Wang Choi were no longer in the suite, and there was a work card and a room card on the bedside table, and there was also a note with a bamboo branch printed on one corner of the note. He caught Chu Qi's gaze.

"There is no auditorium for the recording during the day, if you want to come to me, just show it at the entrance of the backstage with this work card - Yan Ming"

The ink on the paper is very light, but it cannot hide the strong pen power of the signer.Chu Qishou couldn't help but read such a short two lines several times, and then folded it neatly and put it in his coat pocket.

After cleaning and combing briefly, he left the hotel with his camera bag.The program team built a small three-story building next to the hotel to act as a studio. The main entrance of the studio is currently closed, and there are audiences waiting to enter the venue at [-]:[-] p.m.

Staff can enter and exit through the back door.In order to prevent unrelated people from mixing in, a one-person-one-code registration system is strictly implemented in the studio, and ID cards are also used for face recognition.

Chu Qi accepted the employees who queued up to register, and handed in their ID cards and work badges.

The short-haired girl sitting on the small bench scanned the QR code on Chu Qishou's work card with the machine.The information popped up on the computer in an instant, and she said to her colleague, "The QR code is clear. The ID card doesn't match."

The little brother quickly flipped through the notebook on the table, flipped through two pages, pointed to a line and said, "His assistant came to explain it before, saying that he gave the work card to someone else."

The short-haired girl pushed the leopard-colored round-frame glasses on the bridge of her nose, blinked her big sleepy eyes, and looked at Chu Qishou carefully, then she nodded: "That's right, Yan Ming doesn't need a work card, he can swipe his face, no one will." Stop him."

She wrote down Chu Qi's name and ID number, and returned the two documents to him: "Okay, you can go in."

Chu Qishou successfully entered the backstage. He walked through a large dressing room, came to the conference room where the program was being recorded, and found a corner where no one was paying attention.The meeting room is more than 300 square meters, and the studio is divided into two parts, half of which is the working area behind the scenes, and the other half is the in-camera images when the program is broadcast.

The first phase of the process is nothing special, mainly the self-introduction of each trainee, but the decoration inside the shed is very weird-several rows of long mahogany tables stand in a patchwork order, with pens, inks, papers and inkstones everywhere on them, and in the distance The bookshelves on the wall are covered with books in the form of bamboo slips—as if you have come to the Hengdian filming scene.

A stylist exclaimed softly when he came in, and asked the same question as Chu Qifa: "Why does it look like this in the shed?"

Another staff member answered for her: "The chief director said that we should promote traditional culture in the audition and set a good example in front of the young people. The theme leader will like it."

"Oh I got it."

It turned out that the chief director had a strange brain circuit.A group of people dressed in modern attire sat in a rough ancient costume shed, and they didn't know where they could see that they could promote traditional culture.

Chu Qi counted them, and besides Yan Ming and the tutor, there were about fifty people sitting at the table.There are more than 100 trainees, that is to say, half of them have not appeared.

It's almost two o'clock now, I don't know if the first phase can be finished before five o'clock.

Five trainees came in successively during the 10 minutes that Chu Qi stayed here, and three of them said that teacher Yan Ming was their idol, and when they saw Yan Ming, they drooped their heads in embarrassment and blushed.Chu Qi, who is gay, can tell at a glance that they are not of the same kind.I don't usually see straight men acting like this at all, how come they act decently in front of the camera, and I don't know if they are here to compete for actors or to choose idols.

The directors on the set have a keen sense of smell and have captured these images. Whether they are cut in front of Yan Ming or elsewhere, they will be ready-made hot material.

Although Yanming is the host, this is not his home stadium.He came on stage wearing only a plain shirt, giving the trainees enough space to express themselves.

After Chu Qishou pointed the camera at Yan Ming, he realized that Yan Ming was neither the promoter nor the host in the show. The wooden nameplate on his desk read "Experience Officer", while the one on Shen Ziqiu's desk The nameplate reads "Initiating Mentor".

Nowadays, the names of mentors in the draft are getting more and more fancy. I don’t know if the audience can remember them.

He took many pictures in a row, and halfway through the pictures, he suddenly felt someone pat him on the shoulder.He turned around and saw an unsurprising acquaintance.

Mangmang: "Brother Chu, you are here too."

Chu Qi accepted: "Well, come and have a look."

Mangmang smiled and said, "Are there any trainees in this class that Brother Chu likes? I just looked around and found that this year's class is very good. And I heard that I was in Peach A friend at work said that she was able to find more than 20 users here using gay software last night."

Chu Qi accepted it dubiously: "Don't they need to accept the mobile phone?"

Mangmang: "Ghost knows how many mobile phones they brought with them. The program crew charged each person one or two for a symbolic amount."

She took a few pictures of Shen Ziqiu, and some pictures of the trainees. After taking pictures, she gradually gritted her teeth: "It was not easy to get involved in the first phase. I paid my friend to ask his leader to open it for me." I got a work permit. His leader is black-hearted, and the lion opened his mouth and asked me for [-]."

Chu Qishou thought he heard it wrong: "What? Why is it so expensive?"

"Of course it's expensive. The first phase is a scarce resource, so many station sisters can't come." Mangmang suddenly became alert when he was halfway through speaking, "Huh? Brother Chu, you didn't pay this price? Could it be that his leader lied to me."

Chu Qi glanced at the work card hanging on his chest, fortunately there was no name on it.So he said a slightly lower price: "I spent fifteen thousand."

"It's okay, it's about the same. If it's more expensive, it's more expensive. At that time, I will have the first-hand precious first-hand information. It will definitely sell for a good price." Mangman doesn't think the money is spent. It's a pity that he was complacent instead, "In addition, I plan to select a few trainees who are promising to debut and open a website to make money. Now I have roughly selected candidates... Do you think this is good-looking? His name is Qiu Jin. I read on the Internet that he made his debut before. However, the program team values ​​it very much if you bring your own fan group, and this look is very pleasing to mother fans, so the chances of winning are relatively high."

Chu Qi lowered his eyes and glanced at the screen of Mangmang's camera, which was a terrible sight.He recognized that this trainee named Qiu Jin was the boy who had been arguing with Yan Ming in the corridor last night.

Mangmang saw his gaze fixed on Qiu Jin's face and thought he was stunned. She said triumphantly: "Well, not bad! He debuted very early in the past, and now he is only 19 years old. I heard from fans that he is so handsome. The face is so tender that water can be squeezed out when pinched."

Concerned about helping Yan Ming conceal his love affair, Chu Qishou did not dare to show a reaction of rejecting Qiu Jin in front of Mang Mang.So he jumped his eyes away from Qiu Jin's face, and said lightly: "It's pretty."

Mangmang flipped through the photos she carefully selected: "And this one. This guy is not bad, but he's a bit too old to be an idol, he's already 23, but he's really handsome."

If it was in the past, Chu Qishou might have looked at it twice, but now he has no interest in watching the young boy at all.It doesn't look like it looks good.

The self-introduction session in the studio is still going on. At 70:[-], No. [-] has been recorded, and there is still a quarter left.Mangmang tirelessly took pictures of the new trainees who appeared in front of the camera.Due to too much diligence, the camera ran out of power halfway, so she replaced it with a spare battery.

"Then what... I heard from Li Banyan that you didn't get along with Yan Ming." Mangmang lowered his voice and whispered to him, "He said you fell in love with someone else."

Chu Qishou first let out an "ah" in surprise, and then "hmm" belatedly.

It turns out that Li Banyan and Mangmang are still in touch.

"Who is it? Who is it?" Mangmang was so curious that he pricked up his ears and leaned closer to Chu Qi's shoulder, "Is it right here? No wonder you came here. Fifteen thousand, I believe Brother Chu would not casually Money wasted."

"Yes, he is here." Chu Qi squeezed the work badge on his chest, "But I can't tell you for now."

Mangmang smiled, and patted his chest: "I understand, I understand. I understand you, keep it secret, otherwise if the news leaks out, he won't be able to make a debut."

Chu Qishou didn't deny it. He glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost five o'clock."

But there are still ten trainees who have not appeared, and the next one must be postponed.

It is common for program groups to delay time.The second session is nominally said to start at [-]:[-] and end at [-]:[-], but in fact it may start recording at [-]/[-] at night and finish recording tomorrow morning.

Most of the trainees are experiencing long-term recording for the first time, and some of them have been sitting in the venue since the morning, and now their bodies are gradually getting overwhelmed.They almost didn't eat all day, and only dared to take a few sips of soft drinks issued by the sponsor in front of the camera.

The cameras on the rows of tables in the back will only occasionally scan, and several trainees have already dozed off at the tables.

Mangmang couldn't stand it even after standing for a whole day, she bent her knees and leaned against the wall and clicked her tongue: "I came here early this morning, Yan Ming and that singing instructor, what's their name, they have been talking cue there since the beginning Baba has been talking about the process for a whole day. Every trainee walks in and the camera will take pictures of them, how can they still look so radiant all the time, I am almost dehydrated."

Chu Qishou felt that Yanming was not as exaggerated as Mangmang said.Yan Ming only played the role of embellishment and transition on the stage, and he didn't talk much, but the singing instructor Yin Mochou was very good at talking, and couldn't stop once he opened his mouth. Most of the credit for the delay in recording the show was due to him.

"I'm going out first." Mangmang shook his palm at him, "I brought two proxies over here. They are waiting for me outside, and they have to go to solve their food and clothing problems. The second issue will be in a while...you can still record it ?”

Chu Qi accepted: "It was recorded. I bought the ticket."

Mangman was very happy: "Okay. See you later."

After a while, Chu Qishou also went out.He ordered a roast chicken on a special trip.Going out to get takeout now.

Spectators waiting outside have formed a long queue across the road.Seeing that the admission time had passed, they complained: "The old sausage is going to exploit the audience again, let us wait all night in the winter."

"Sausage" is another name for Peach Terrace.Because the peach logo is very similar to the round sausage, senior audiences often jokingly call it "sausage", especially when they are full of complaints about peaches, this sausage is even more disgusting.

In winter, the sun goes down early, and the sky outside is gloomy at this time. The chilling air of severe winter hits, and the whistling sounds continue in the ears, and there are waves of cold wind like iron blades, which hurt people's faces.

Chu Qi thought to himself, if Yan Ming didn't give him the work card, he might have to stand in the biting cold wind all night.

After getting the takeaway, he quickly turned back and found that the recording of the first episode had been finished, and the staff was quickly moving to the studio to prepare, which was the recording location of the second episode.The recording time is tentatively scheduled to begin in two hours.

Yan Ming sent the room number of the lounge, and Chu Qi searched for it.But he discovered that there were other people in the room.

——It was four contestants and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes.

The middle-aged man stood up and thanked Yanming: "Then please trouble Teacher Yanming to support these four children more on the show."

Yan Ming smiled: "It will definitely."

After speaking, the middle-aged man took the trainees and left.

Chu Qi closed the door and asked Yanming: "Just now that was..."

There was an incomprehensible look in Yan Ming's eyes: "These are the four people the investors are looking for. We want to praise them. Come and inform me now."

He plays the role of host in the show, and the more pleasant name is "experience officer", but he has no real decision-making power, and it is impossible for him to comment on the players like other mentors, so the so-called "support" in the man's mouth "It's just a beautiful scene.

Chu Qishou frowned slightly: "What does he mean...they will debut?"

Yan Ming: "There is a high probability that it will. Unless it is really unpopular and the popularity is too low."

Didn't the show already have almost half of the candidates booked before it aired?

Chu Qi accepted: "Forget it, it's rare to take a break, so I won't discuss your work matters. Let's have dinner. I bought you a roast chicken, which is better than boxed lunch."

Only then did Yan Ming realize that Chu Qishou was carrying a takeaway box in his hand.At this time, he bent down and rummaged through the cardboard box under the table: "I asked Wang Cho to see the auditorium, and he told me that the seats in the auditorium are hard benches, which are very uncomfortable to sit on. Considering that you... ..."

He didn't finish his sentence.But Chu Qishou understood it all at once.

"Here is a cushion, take it and use it."

Yan Ming stuffed him with something in plastic packaging.It has a soft texture to the touch.The hang tag is still there, obviously it was just bought and it hasn't been opened yet.
