Chapter 587: A Decision Concerning the Future of Trainees

The next day.

Seeing Jin Li received a message from the captain of the group of trainees. Both sides added each other on WeChat last night.

The captain said that after careful voting, if they could change the manager without any loss, they wanted to change to one who could understand them better.

Seeing Jin Li replied with a crisp "OK".

What should be said was already said last night. She was not surprised that the captain decided to change the manager.

After all, it can be seen from the trainees' faces yesterday that they were very dissatisfied with this manager.

This dissatisfaction is not dissatisfaction with the manager's character, but the inability of both sides to communicate, which is the most fatal.

Once effective communication is not possible, many misunderstandings will be caused.

Under the belittlement of the manager, those trainees all doubted whether they would never have a chance to get ahead.

Seeing Jin Li called Fang Jie and told her about the communication last night, and put forward the request to change the manager for them.

Sui Lingfang immediately said: "This is just a small matter, I can change it by saying hello."

"Their manager was indeed recruited by the company this year, but his academic qualifications are very powerful. He is a master's student who studies pop music in foreign countries, so the president wanted to hand the trainees to him, hoping to bring out some results."

"If I knew that this manager used an oppressive way to bring trainees, I would also raise objections to the president. Newcomers should be encouraged, letting them face the cruelty of the entertainment industry too early will quickly grind away their spirit."

In the entertainment industry, relying on overnight popularity is unrealistic.

Every day, countless celebrities, internet celebrities, institutions, etc., rush in, but how many can be known to the whole internet overnight?

More celebrities prove themselves through accumulation over time, using one work after another, to get the opportunity to be popular.

So the entertainment industry must rely on boiling, not boiling is not possible.

But boiling also needs to pay attention to the method. Just entering the entertainment industry and instilling in them "you have no hope", "no chance at all", "can't compete with others at all", then how to play?

Less than a year and they are ready to give up.

Since the employment prospect of this industry is so poor, it is better to change careers early.

Chenxi Entertainment has set high liquidated damages for every trainee signed into the company, but the company has never thought about making money through liquidated damages.

They are not unscrupulous companies in the industry, they have to give trainees some hope and opportunity.

Seeing Jin Li said "um" and said: "I feel that the mentality of this group of trainees is very good."

"Facing malicious editing on variety shows, being eliminated at lightning speed from the first public performance, and being deliberately set up by the production team to sing live with full backing tracks... If it were any other newcomer, they probably would have collapsed long ago; it's not as if that hasn't happened before."

The year before last, a talent show was held in full swing, which was a variety show dominated by girl groups.

At that time, in order to attract attention, the program team specially invited the already debuted team—"Sunshine" combination to participate in the variety show.

This Sunshine combination was established very childishly at that time. It was three middle school students who bought songs on the internet and then paid for the promotional songs on the whole internet, and debuted very confusedly.

There are countless idol groups in China, but this Sunshine combination was remembered by netizens.

That's because the three members of the combination were all ordinary people, not beautiful, and could only reach an average level by makeup, and one was a little fat.

They were scolded on the trending list by the whole internet because they were ugly.

But the three girls didn't care at all, mainly sunshine, positive, and confident.

Later, they experienced the contract turmoil of the company, and the three terminated the contract with the original company and signed into a new company to continue doing girl groups.

Don't say, some netizens scolded and scolded, and scolded out real feelings.

Some netizens urged them to rehearse more on the internet every day, saying that strength is the most important thing, as long as there is strength, there will be no shortage of stages in the future.

Also told them to continue their studies, it is best to get a university diploma.

The little fat girl in the team wanted to lose weight, netizens advised her not to lose weight, the confident smile is the best, and having a fat person increases the uniqueness of the team.

Finally, the combination received an invitation from the talent show, and netizens were happy for them.

The company is very broken, their resources are very few, the talent show has exposure, and participating has topic engagement.

Don't say how the Sunshine combination thinks, at least netizens all think very beautifully.

But the result?

The variety show was specially selected to use the Sunshine combination to sacrifice to the sky.

The Sunshine combination, like the trainees of Chenxi Entertainment, had their carefully prepared first performance stage denied by the program team, and temporarily changed to a song that was only rehearsed for one day, no, a few hours.

Leading to the broadcast of the program, the Sunshine combination was scolded by the whole internet again.

"No strength and want to participate, shameful!"

"Can't you pay a little attention, those without dance foundation dance better than you!"

"All I see in you is perfunctory. Since you don't pay attention, why do you want to participate?"

The program team gained heat, and only the three little girls of the Sunshine combination were blood sacrificed.

Later, only one member was left, and that member was the captain.

The captain probably was also very angry at that time, and in a fit of anger, didn't even participate in the first public stage and directly withdrew from the competition.

So the whole internet sounded a scolding again.

"Give you a chance and you don't want it, no wonder you are blurry!"

"Still too young, if you debut, how much traffic can you bring, other two members can rely on you!"

"Escaping without fighting, it's good to withdraw from the competition directly, so as not to be scolded as a relationship household!"

Things passed for a long, long time, and others saw the voice of their fans, not that they didn't pay attention to the stage, but were deliberately played by the program team.

Not wanting to withdraw from the competition, but the captain felt that this was an unfair duel from the beginning, and staying in the program team would only be maliciously edited by the program.

Due to the signed contract, the Sunshine combination could not make any statement in public, let netizens scold, and never defended themselves.

But fans didn't have this concern, and only returned the truth to the audience years later.

Seeing Jin Li didn't evaluate whether the Sunshine combination did right or wrong, and whether there was strength, but at least the trainees of Chenxi Entertainment responded well this time.

Breaking out conflicts with the program team and resisting is the stupidest thing.

Those angry pictures will be deliberately inserted into other members by the program team, giving the outside world a feeling that "trainees have conflicts with each other".

The program team wants explosive points. If you can't dig out explosive points from you, you will focus on other trainees.

Like this kind of talent show, being eliminated peacefully and without any black material is actually a complete merit.

Seeing Jin Li listened to Sui Lingfang's arrangement for the master manager and didn't express any opinion. These things Fang Jie has experience in handling, she just needs someone to listen.

Fang Jie finished speaking, and she asked about investing in variety shows.

Sui Lingfang paused and said somewhat hesitantly: "Do you really want to invest in a farming variety show, and want the company's trainees to participate?"

Seeing Jin Li nodded: "I feel their mentality is good, and they can be strong in the face of adversity. If you can make a documentary variety show, someone should watch it."

Some people face a poor life, can find joy in bitterness, and can decorate life like a flower, which is actually a skill.

What's more, rural pastoral life is what many people yearn for, especially workers in the city.

The more you can't get, the more you love to watch.

And the construction from scratch can also arouse people's sense of achievement. While netizens are watching, they also join the construction.

Sui Lingfang said: "Pure farming variety show, I will mention it in the meeting with the president this afternoon, and explain that you are also optimistic about this project. If the president doesn't do it—"

She was silent for a long time this time, and finally took a deep breath and said powerfully: "Then we will do it ourselves!"

"The company didn't forbid employees from engaging in investment. We are all people in the entertainment industry, and investing in variety shows is very normal."

Seeing Jin Li turned her eyes and said with interest: "Fang Jie, do you believe me so much, want to engage with me, in case I pave it?"

Sui Lingfang smiled and said: "It's only an investment of 300,000 to 400,000. I can take this money out. In case I lose, I will arrange a few more announcements for you privately, and I can earn it back soon."

Seeing Jin Li laughed: "Good, good, good, won't let you suffer."

After hanging up the phone, Seeing Jin Li looked at the calendar and found that there were only two days left until the college entrance exam results were released.

But even now, she has no sense of tension.

She has tried her best.

She thought about it, opened the Knowledge Universe APP, and started the reading stream.

In the afternoon, in the conference room of Chenxi Entertainment.

Sui Lingfang hadn't put forward Seeing Jin Li's idea, but the president took the initiative to mention the variety show 《Shining Glory》.

The president said: "Lin Yafu's team specially called me this morning, wanting our trainees to participate in the resurrection match, and said that our trainees' stage effects are good, and it is very likely to be resurrected."

"In addition, with the exposure of the resurrection match, it is easy to accumulate popularity in round after round of PK, and it is possible to rush into the finals in one fell swoop. What do you think?"

"Resurrection match?" The managers of Chenxi Entertainment were all surprised.

Sui Lingfang was surprised first, then thought of the text message she received last night that she thought was a joke. Seeing Jin Li also said that she didn't get a reply, and there might be follow-up contact later.

Didn't expect it to be guessed by Seeing Jin Li, it would indeed contact, but people contacted the boss directly.

Soon, some managers raised doubts.

Half of the people are not optimistic about this variety show, and half of the people feel that they can rush.

The president couldn't help but look at Sui Lingfang and Zou Da.

One is a senior manager who made Seeing Jin Li popular again, and the other is a senior media person who masters the latest trends in the industry. He believes in their judgment more.

Zou Da thought for a long time before saying: "My idea is the same as other managers. This variety show opens the resurrection match too early, which is not a good signal."

"This proves that the team is not confident in the ratings of the next few episodes, and there may be loss, so they release explosive points early and open the elimination match."

"However," his words turned, "This is Lin Yafu, the first variety talent show producer in China. With her here, this program should also be able to come back to life. She can always think of a solution."

"So, president, you should grasp it yourself." Zou Da said.

Turning around, he gave a universal answer.

The president's face didn't change, but he rolled his eyes at Zou Da in his heart.

He looked at Sui Lingfang.

At the critical moment, this old man can still hold it.

Sui Lingfang thought about it, but still didn't say Seeing Jin Li's idea in front of everyone, so as not to affect everyone's judgment, and make people feel that Seeing Jin Li is too dominant, which is not very good for the artist's reputation.

So she said: "President, I have other news here, I will talk to you alone."

Other managers looked over curiously. It's rare, what kind of exclusive insider news is it that needs to be so secret.

Zou Da also looked over, with doubt in his eyes. Regarding the program 《Shining Glory》, he didn't receive any wind.

Soon, the people in the conference room left, leaving only Sui Lingfang and the president.

Sui Lingfang then said Seeing Jin Li's idea last night, "Seeing Jin Li said that after these trainees were eliminated, their mentality was good, they didn't sink into failure, and felt that they could participate in some harder farming programs, building from scratch in the countryside."

"Farming variety show?" The president was surprised, "Doing variety shows, it costs a lot of money."

Sui Lingfang said quickly: "Yes, I also said it costs money."

"But Seeing Jin Li said that the trainees are produced by the company, the announcement fee is very low, renting a remote one in the countryside, the monthly rent is not worth much money, all expenses are arranged, maybe 300,000 to 400,000 can be done."

"She cares about these juniors very much, feeling that the opportunity for exposure is too little, just relying on participating in talent shows is too gambling."

"And everyone in the industry knows that 《Shining Glory》 is specially invested by Tianding Entertainment to make June Summer popular."

The president thought silently, his fingers tapping on the table.

Sui Lingfang released another piece of news.

"Seeing Jin Li's meaning is, if the company doesn't invest in this variety show, then she wants to invest and reach a cooperation with the company in terms of trainees."

The president heard this and was a bit moved.

This is risk transfer. If the variety show is popular and the trainees are popular, Chenxi Entertainment only has benefits.

But if the variety show is not popular, the company has no loss, which is equivalent to increasing the camera experience for the trainees.

Sui Lingfang saw the president's idea and said her own idea.

"President, my suggestion is to follow Seeing Jin Li to invest. Before in film and television, we also followed Seeing Jin Li to invest, and never lost money. Seeing Jin Li's vision is very unique."

She said obscurely: "What's more, Seeing Jin Li wants to invest in this variety show. If industry insiders know this, I am afraid others will rush to throw money, not for anything else, just for Seeing Jin Li."

"This..." The president hesitated again.

Sui Lingfang said everything that should be said, and also said what should not be said, just looking at how the president chooses.

Fortunately, the president is not a fool.

The investment in a farming variety show is only 300,000 to 400,000. The company is not unable to take out this money, not to mention that the company is not fully invested, but partially invested, and can also cooperate with Seeing Jin Li.

The president immediately said: "The company and Seeing Jin Li jointly invest in farming variety shows, giving these trainees exposure opportunities. We won't participate in 《Shining Glory》, let them play by themselves."

Talent show exposure is good, but it depends on how the editing is cut.

Where is it comparable to the variety show invested by the company itself? The exposure is absolutely full! ===== CHAPTER 588 =====
