Chapter 186: Gao Liang Joins

~15 min read 2,828 words

The day after Miss Luo Quan's birthday, the whole family flew to Jiangnan.

The afternoon was the time for filming the second episode of "Creating Girls' Generation." Miss Luo Quan, Wen Xia, and Gao Liang all had to be on the show, and Seifert, as the manager, definitely had to go together.

And Luo Ni and Eric's main purpose for coming to China was to celebrate their daughter's birthday. After that, they naturally continued their world tour.

Since they came to China, they must have a good tour, so they chose Jiangnan, which has infinite scenery, as the starting point of this trip.

After getting off the plane, the four of Miss Luo Quan went straight to the dormitory building near the Xiaoshan International Film and Television Center. This was originally provided for the crew filming nearby, but it was contracted by the rich Penguin factory and re-decorated as a dormitory for trainees.

After the filming of the first episode ended, the mentors returned to their homes, but the trainees' filming tasks did not pause.

The photographer followed them to the dormitory and recorded the most real side of them after seeing the new dormitory, including what kind of communication the trainees had with each other.

The best treatment was naturally the eight trainees rated A. Except for Yue Wei, Xu Yuelin, Lin Yuxiao, and Liu Sheng Chunzi, the other three were individual trainees, generally much older than them, starting at twenty-five.

There was a minority sister from the far northwest named Ana, whose eyebrows had very significant white characteristics, and she was much taller than Miss Luo Quan, estimated to be around 1.83 meters.

In addition, there were two others. One was named Zheng Tao, who danced very well and was a relatively famous dance teacher in China.

The other was named Zhuang Shuyu, who was good at singing and dancing, and her stage style was also very good. She was generous to mentors and trainees, and her only shortcoming was that she was fat, and her looks were not as good as the other seven in the same dormitory.

Actually, Zheng Tao was not much better, but her figure was relatively good, and she could muddle through with some makeup. Zhuang Shuyu was because she was a bit fat, which made her face look relatively large, so she felt a bit out of place with the other roommates from a sensory point of view.

However, she had a cheerful personality and was familiar with others. After entering the dormitory and putting down her luggage, she sat next to Jiang Yuner.

There were four bed frames in the room, each with an upper and lower bunk. Jiang Yuner and Chunzi slept on the left side near the door, Yue Wei and Xu Yuelin slept on the right, Zheng Tao and Lin Yuxiao slept opposite Yue Wei and the two, and opposite Jiang Yuner and Chunzi were Zhuang Shuyu and Ana.

It is worth mentioning that when the A-class trainees were placing luggage and making beds, there were photographers in the room, three of them, two filming one side each, and another standing on the table in the middle to film the panoramic view.

On the day she entered the dormitory, Zhuang Shuyu established a good relationship with Jiang Yuner and Chunzi. From time to time, she sat over and asked questions to contact feelings.

Because this was the only Chinese girl who chatted with the two foreign trainees, Chunzi was quite happy to chat with her, and Jiang Yuner didn't exclude it.

After a few days of getting along, the three of them could be considered to have established a friendship.

However, Jiang Yuner and Zhuang Shuyu didn't talk much. When chatting, Chunzi talked more.

It wasn't that Jiang Yuner didn't like Zhuang Shuyu, but her personality was like this. To put it nicely, it was a cold queen style; to put it badly, it was that she didn't know how to socialize.

These personality traits were faithfully recorded by the photographers who had to work in the room every day. Except for sleeping at night, the dormitories of all trainees were not closed.

The spare time from the end of the first episode filming to the start of the second episode filming was not for the trainees to relax and make friends. Before leaving, Wen Xia gave them a task, which was to remember the dance she danced when she went on stage, and then practice it well.

The basis for the re-evaluation of the second episode was the trainees' performance level of this dance and the song "Gee."

The trainees had four days of autonomous practice. On the fifth day, the mentors would come to the dormitory to teach some singing and dancing skills, and then the assessment would be conducted on the sixth day.

These two days of teaching and assessment were the content to be recorded in the second episode.

And the trainees were not allowed to use mobile phones in the dormitory, completely isolated from the outside world, so they didn't know that there would be mysterious guests in this episode. They were only notified the day before the mentors came, and the production team sold a pass and didn't tell them who it was.

In tension and anticipation, the trainees finally survived the fifth day of living in the dormitory. In these five days, everyone was basically still adapting to life in the dormitory.

Eating, wearing, and living were actually small things. The most difficult thing was how to communicate naturally with other trainees under so many lenses, and at the same time make themselves look interesting, so as to get more screen time.

This is actually a subject that is not simple, commonly known as "knowing how to do things."

Of course, there are not many trainees who can come in and don't know how to do things. Using words like "deep scheming" to describe them may not be very appropriate, but most of them are definitely not silly and sweet who don't understand anything. The calculations that should be there are basically there.

However, Luo Luo Chu Yi was definitely an exception. She was basically silly and sweet. As soon as she entered the dormitory door, the bed hadn't been made yet, and her background had been dug clean by her roommates, even how many houses her family had, how many acres of land behind the house, and how many cows in the land, she had poured out like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

It was so much that even the photographer brother beside her couldn't help but laugh. He wanted to remind her not to be so honest, but due to professional ethics, he couldn't speak.

However, because of this, she got the most screen time among all trainees, including those in the A class.

The three photographers seemed to be unusually fond of her, always liking to aim the lens at her, even though she didn't look at the lens from beginning to end, and had been working hard to make the bed on the bed.

Other trainees in a dormitory saw this situation, and the jealousy in their eyes was simply like substance. The screen time they couldn't fight for no matter how hard they tried, Luo Luo Chu Yi could get it effortlessly!

And this Luo Luo Chu Yi only faced the lens with her butt from beginning to end, as if she didn't care about these at all. Such a huge contrast was really hard not to drive people crazy.

However, there were too many situations where heart-planting flowers didn't bloom. Even if these trainees were so angry that their noses were crooked, it was of no avail. The photographer was not the sun and would not be evenly distributed to everyone. In order to make the show better, they naturally had to grab the more popular trainees to film.

But it was precisely because of the photographer's differential treatment that Luo Luo Chu Yi was isolated by everyone on the first day she entered the dormitory.

After the photographer left, Luo Luo Chu Yi, who had made the bed, turned her head and wanted to chat and make friends with her roommates.

Don't look at Luo Luo Chu Yi being so timid like a shy grass on the stage, actually she was quite talkative in private. Probably because she entered society early, she was quite practiced in interpersonal accidents.

However, I don't know why, she took the initiative to chat with the roommates next to her, and everyone ignored her. It was even more so when watching dance practice videos later.

ABCDF five classes, each class had its own dedicated dance studio. There was a big screen in the dance studio, which would keep playing the "Gee" danced by Wen Xia.

When watching the video for the first time, there were nearly twenty people in Class C. Everyone surrounded a circle in front of the screen, only squeezing Luo Luo Chu Yi outside.

Luo Luo Chu Yi stood on tiptoe in the back, and was embarrassed to squeeze the trainees inside. She stretched her neck for half a day, but didn't see much of the content in the video.

After more than half an hour, when everyone remembered the movements and started practicing, she sat alone in front of the screen and started watching the video.

Because the foundation was relatively poor, she remembered the dance movements of "Gee," which were not difficult, for a long, long time. The progress fell behind others on the first day.

Fortunately, her brain was not stupid. She had memorized most of the movements by rote in these few days, but she couldn't grasp the crab walk.

During this period, she also asked other trainees for advice, but they said it was very simple, and she would know it after watching the video a few more times.

Helpless, Luo Luo Chu Yi could only watch the video over and over again, but there was no effect.

And such a situation lasted until the day the mentors arrived.

Miss Luo Quan and the four of them got off the car on the tree-lined path outside the dormitory building. Today, the sun was shining brightly and the spring breeze was proud.

Zhou Yangwen, who had been waiting for a long time, walked out from the corner with a smile: "Welcome to China, Gao Liang."

"Hello, General Manager Zhou." Gao Liang stepped forward and shook Zhou Yangwen's right hand, and then Seifert also stepped forward to shake hands.

Zhou Yangwen said earnestly: "The show will start recording soon. If you encounter any trouble or discomfort during the period, you can react to us in time. By the way, do you need a translator?"

Gao Liang smiled: "My sister is a translator, no need to equip me with another one."

Zhou Yangwen looked at Miss Luo Quan and also smiled: "Okay, if you don't understand anything, ask Miss Luo Quan."

After chatting, Miss Luo Quan, Gao Liang, and Wen Xia continued to walk towards the dormitory building, while Seifert went to another place with Zhou Yangwen to discuss Gao Liang's next itinerary.

In the lobby of the dormitory building, the other three mentors had already arrived and were putting on makeup.

Jin Zihao looked up and saw Miss Luo Quan and the others arriving. He was about to say hello, but found that Gao Liang was behind them.

The production team had said before that there would be a foreign guest coming to be a flight guest for one episode. He and Zhan Yining both guessed it was Miss Luo Quan's brother Gao Liang, but now that they saw the real person, they still felt a bit surprised.

"Hello, Jin." Gao Liang took the initiative to say hello.

Before coming, he had already done his homework and clearly knew the surnames of several mentors. He had also watched the first episode once, knew who was strong and who was popular, and also knew which one the production team wanted to support.

"Hello, Gao Liang." Jin Zihao stood up and replied, but the two didn't shake hands.

Probably feeling that they were all peers, there was no need to be so formal when meeting.

Next, Gao Liang greeted Zhao Yining and Aila separately, which was considered officially joining the ranks of mentors.

Then everyone started putting on makeup. While putting on makeup, the director told the mentors which aspects they should focus on later.

Miss Luo Quan, who only needed to apply a layer of foundation, quickly finished her makeup and started acting as a translator for Gao Liang on the side.

Jin Zihao and Wen Xia had the most scenes. In addition to the director's oral dictation, both of them held a notebook with more detailed notes on the show.

After preparing for about half an hour, the six mentors, surrounded by multiple photographers, went to the dormitory building in a mighty way.

The first place the mentors went to was Class F, which had the largest number of people and the worst and most crowded accommodation conditions.

There were more than twenty trainees in this class. They were either because their strength was not enough, or because they played abnormally, and were finally assigned to Class F.

Everyone understood what it meant to be assigned to this group. F was the worst level, and the color representing F was also an inconspicuous gray.

If the elimination competition started, then the first batch to be eliminated would definitely be these people in Class F.

So from the day they came in, the emotions of most trainees were relatively low.

However, after seeing the mentors come in, all the trainees in Class F came alive.

Six mentors were each responsible for one class, and Gao Liang and Miss Luo Quan were together. The one who came to Class F for "inspection" was Jin Zihao, who was very strict and fierce in the first episode.

"I heard that your emotions were very low before, and you didn't even talk much in the dormitory?" This was the information Jin Zihao saw in the notebook given by the director. Now he asked directly, and the happy faces of the trainees collapsed instantly.

Jin Zihao pursed his lips: "Do you think that there is no hope at all when you reach Class F, and I must be among the first batch to be eliminated?"

Some trainees nodded.

"Don't give up so quickly!" Jin Zihao's tone became serious, "I said before, the level is only temporary. This does not mean your final grade. You still have at least twenty days to reverse everything. It's not that you have no play when you reach Class F. As long as you are willing to work hard, there is still a chance to turn the tables against the wind. But if you choose to give up before you have even worked hard, then there is definitely no chance at all. And if you give up this time, if you encounter other opportunities later, you will naturally choose to give up after suffering a little setback. Do you really want such a life?"

"Don't want!"

Some girls let out an unwilling cry.

"I'll ask again, do you want such a life?"

"Don't want!" This time it was the girls in the whole dormitory shouting in unison.

Chicken soup master Jin Zihao mobilized the emotions of the Class F trainees with a few words. If there were no accidents, such emotions would continue until the filming of the third episode ended.

Because the elimination competition starts from the third episode.

Although Jin Zihao said that as long as you are willing to work hard, there is hope for turning the tables against the wind.

But many things in this world are not effective just because you work hard. Chicken soup is chicken soup, and reality is reality, which cannot be confused.

Jin Zihao also understands this point. The gap in strength cannot be made up in just twenty days. Most of these trainees in Class F, except for a very few, will be eliminated when the third episode is broadcast.

However, people always have to have a hope. If there is no hope, what is the difference from a salted fish? ===== CHAPTER 187 =====

They know that in this world, many things cannot be achieved just by working hard. Chicken soup for the soul is just chicken soup, and reality is reality; they cannot be lumped together.

Jin Zihao also understands this point. The gap in ability cannot be bridged in just twenty short days. Aside from a very few individuals, most of these trainees in Class F will be eliminated by the time the third episode airs.

However, people always need to have some hope. If there is no hope, what is the difference between them and a salted fish?
