Chapter 78: Milk Xiao
General Director Hou Chun was also on the side, watching this scene with great satisfaction.
This was exactly the effect he wanted.
The more stunning everyone found Lady Jiang Yu right now, the more stunning they would be when the show aired before the national audience.
This was a certainty.
……
Next, the production team began the drawing of lots.
The captains of the eight Produce Camp teams walked to the front, where a box sat before them, filled with small balls of various colors, each inscribed with a number corresponding to the order in which the popular idols had entered.
The popular idols stood on the side, watching the results of the draw.
Some popular idols were also a bit nervous.
They didn't want to draw a weak team.
For example, the team with Chao Yue.
Perhaps just figuring out how to arrange songs and dances for her would be a difficult task.
Of course.
There were benefits too.
At the very least, Chao Yue had immense popularity and good public favor.
She was a dark horse who had successfully captured the audience's attention based solely on her looks and personality.
……
At this moment.
All the trainees held their breath, eyes fixed on the box.
Every team wanted to draw a strong popular idol to lead them.
The young girl, meanwhile, activated her 360-degree scanning mode, her gaze wandering through the crowd of girls in front.
True?
The screen was full of collagen.
Some plump, some slender, each with their own charm.
But uniformly, they were all youthful and beautiful.
Such as Chao Yue, the leg-queen Xuan Yi, the imperial sister Fu Jing, the cute Lai Lai Xiaoqi, Wang Wang Yijin, Feng Feng Wanhe, Zhao Yue, Da Juan, and so on...
"Truly youthful."
"Four eyes aren't enough to take it all in."
The young girl sighed inwardly.
Of course, she was actually more interested in a great beauty beside her.
Cheng Xiao.
Or rather, Milk Xiao.
A stunning face, a slightly plump figure... she could be called a human Barbie.
Looking closely, this girl was truly super pretty, with exquisite features and a high-class aura that was hard to describe, and her chest was super big, almost comparable to her own...
In her past life, she had liked this girl very much.
She had wanted to marry her as a wife.
And in this life... if she cuddled with her, probably, should, perhaps, she wouldn't get pregnant, right?
At this moment.
Cheng Xiao noticed Lady Jiang Yu looking at her and gave a sweet smile.
Lady Jiang Yu also smiled back.
This scene was very sweet.
A photographer captured this shot and quickly snapped it.
……
Just as the young girl was looking around, her mind wandering.
The drawing process was also proceeding in full swing.
At this point, four popular idols remained to be chosen.
The trainees were even more nervous, many secretly biting their silver teeth, praying in their hearts.
In fact.
Except for Lady Jiang Yu and Duan Kun.
The professional capabilities of the other popular idols were about the same.
At most, some were a bit stronger at singing or dancing...
However.
Lady Jiang Yu and Duan Kun were clearly a tier above them, if not more.
Duan Kun came from a South Korean boy band, his singing and dancing abilities were very strong, and after returning to the country, he had developed well and possessed many fans.
And Lady Jiang Yu.
Need not be said.
Their greatest strengths are composition and singing; these two abilities can be said to crush all the popular idols present, and even some of the celebrity mentors are not as good as them.
But there was a weakness.
That was dancing.
Since the two sisters debuted, no one had ever seen them demonstrate dance ability, and there was no relevant data... which effectively meant zero.
However, the charm of their new songs was enough to offset the lack of dancing.
Therefore, Duan Kun’s No. 2 ball and Lady Jiang Yu’s No. 8 ball were the numbers the trainee team captains wanted most at this moment.
"No. 2! I am No. 2!"
Mei Qi turned around and shouted excitedly to her teammates.
Her joy was evident.
No. 2 was Duan Kun; compared to Lady Jiang Yu, Mei Qi actually preferred to collaborate with Duan Kun.
She had also returned from South Korea, had more topics in common with Duan Kun, and had known him back in South Korea.
The trainees of Mei Qi’s team were very excited and clapped one after another.
Duan Kun raised an eyebrow slightly.
He was also happy; Mei Qi’s team was very strong.
This gave him another layer of confidence in his plan to overshadow Lady Jiang Yu in this episode.
He looked at Lady Jiang Yu with a playful gaze.
"The 'Music Chart Queen' is not as good as me, Duan Kun; I am determined to get this trending topic."
The young girl was naturally unaware of Duan Kun’s thoughts.
He remembered that someone in the music scene had once evaluated Lady Jiang Yu like this.
In fact, she didn't really care which team chose her.
She was just here for a four-day gig anyway.
As long as the money arrived, it was OK.
At this time, it was Xuan Yi’s turn; she looked at her teammates with a cute, sweet smile, and her fair jade hand reached into the red box.
"No. 8!"
Xuan Yi held the ball in her hand, very happy.
Xuan Yi’s teammates were the same, exchanging glances, unable to hide their excitement.
In front of the camera, they couldn't say much.
But deep down, they were almost going crazy with joy.
Who didn't know what drawing Lady Jiang Yu and her sister meant?
Ding, SSR!
A big boss leading the way!
The members of the two remaining teams forced smiles, and some even wanted to cry.
The hope was right in front of them, yet they couldn't touch it.
This feeling was terrible.
The young girl, however, became somewhat interested.
"Xuan Yi’s team, not bad..."
She looked at the members of Xuan Yi’s team.
Lai Lai Xiaoqi, Wang Wang Yijin, Lu Lu Xiaocao, Chen Yihan... and, uh, the other two she didn't recognize, but they were beauties nonetheless.
To be fair, the strength of this team could only be considered average.
Not as strong as Mei Qi’s team.
But there were benefits.
That was Xuan Yi.
Don't misunderstand.
It wasn't her legs.
It was her personality.
The young girl remembered that in a previous life, in one episode of 101, they were also divided into teams for a duel; other teams’ captains all firmly held the C-position, only Xuan Yi was willing to give it up, letting every member of the team have a chance to show their face and get screen time.
Such a personality was naturally likable.
Of course, the choices of other captains couldn't be called wrong either.
Fighting for more screen time and opportunities on a talent show stage was understandable.
……
After the grouping was finished, each team went to separate practice rooms and held their first meeting.
Generally, when the production team records this content, it is to highlight the brilliance of the popular idols.
The popular idols offer suggestions, giving the trainees an epiphany.
When the show airs and the audience sees it, they will also feel that the popular idols are quite capable.
This is exactly why many small stars want to come here.
These are all exposure, screen time, heat... money.
In other teams, the style was normal; the popular idols and trainees discussed what songs to choose, what dances to perform, and how to make the stage explode.
But when it came to Lady Jiang Yu’s side, the style changed abruptly.
Quiet.
Very quiet.
As if a cold wind had blown through.
The scene had gone cold.
The girls of Xuan Yi’s team blinked their beautiful big eyes, looking at the two sisters with expectant gazes.
They didn't want to use their brains to choose songs at all.
They had the look of "Big Boss, please lead us to fly."
In fact, with Lady Jiang Yu present, what these girls wanted was to use Lady Jiang Yu’s songs as the main attack.
As for what songs to choose, that didn't exist.
The two in front of them were "Song Daddies" (masters of composition).
Everyone just needed to bring out the dance later.
Youyue rubbed her temples and said: "—This way, let's finalize the song first."
"Tell me, what kind of song do you want?"
As the words fell.
The production staff were ecstatic.
These words... could it be that Lady Jiang Yu was going to write a new song based on the contestants' requests?
If true, this would be a huge highlight of the show!
Xuan Yi looked at Xu Youyue and thought for a moment, saying: "Our team’s dance ability is okay, we hope for a relatively 'burning' (high-energy) song."
A burning song used on a live stage is very explosive!
Xuan Yi had plenty of experience in this regard.
Wang Wang Yijin leaned close to Xu Mingyue, reached out to hold her wrist, and acted spoiled: "Sister Yue, help your little sister, can you come up with one of your best ancient-style songs, with some opera-style singing would be best."
