“Squeak, squeak, squeak~”
In summer, the stuffy air makes people feel upset.
Although the fan does not produce strong wind, it does make a lot of noise!
The cicadas have been chirping in the trees outside all day, and there is no sign of them stopping.
This is the last weekend for all college entrance examination candidates and the last rest time, with a total of one evening self-study session and one morning rest time.
Because tomorrow afternoon, everyone has to go to school to take graduation photos.
Of course, some schools have finished filming long ago, so they will have an extra half day off.
Lin Qianqian, wearing a pink vest and biting a pen, squatted in her seat with a history textbook on the desk in front of her.
At this point, there is no point in doing the test paper anymore.
All review has been completed.
The only thing you need to do is to read the book again and fill in the gaps.
However, Lin Qianqian couldn't immerse herself in the textbook no matter what.
Lin Qianqian's thoughts were just like the sweat running down her forehead, making it impossible to figure out what was going on.
My thoughts were drifting, and I had already entered into the fantasies that only young people have.
For example, get on a plane and go to another city to start a wonderful college life.
Met a handsome (beautiful) senior (senior), and entered a dormitory full of like-minded roommates.
Let’s do those things together that we didn’t dare to do in high school.
Buy a computer of your own and buy a 5G mobile phone with super fast internet speed.
It would be better if it doesn't have such a lag like it is now.
That city must be beautiful, right? Not so hot, not so annoying.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, beside the grass field, a few good friends sat together playing and joking, watching a young football player kicking a ball in the distance.
A large plane flew across the sky, leaving a trail of clouds in the sky.
Will the girl I have a crush on now choose the same university as me in the future?
Although my current deskmate has chosen another city, will he suddenly appear in front of me one day?
Lin Qianqian hummed softly:
"Who married you who are sentimental,
Who comforts you who loves to cry?
Who read the letter I wrote to you?
Who threw it into the wind~"
While singing, Lin Qianqian suddenly thought that the new program in which the three new entertainment companies participated seemed to premiere today.
Lin Qianqian slipped to the bedroom door and took a look outside.
My mother was selecting millet, preparing to make porridge tomorrow, picking grains one by one.
Dad is reading the thick guidance book on filling out the application form.
Lin Qianqian locked the door, returned to her desk, and turned on her computer which she hadn't turned on for a long time.
It took a while to open Penguin Video.
"Huh? No ads?"
Nowadays, major video websites rely on advertisements as long as 70 or 80 seconds to attract customers to buy memberships.
I’m watching the premiere of a new show on Penguin Video right now, and there are no commercials?
The show has already begun. "Summer of Idols", which has only been online for ten minutes, is already filled with barrages of comments.
A lot of people are talking about HNT, a lot of people are talking about other trainees.
The most discussed topic is the three new talents from the entertainment industry.
This summer, this graduation season, the three new entertainment stars have become so famous thanks to "You Are the One Sitting Next to Me", far surpassing others by more than three levels.
Except HNT.
Lin Qianqian wrinkled her nose and said , "How annoying! Why did HNT want to participate in this program? It lowers the quality of the program."
When she saw Wang Chuyang, Lin Qianqian was excited: "Oh, he showed up!"
At the bedroom door, Mom peeked inside, then looked at Dad: "He's playing on the computer, watching a show."
Dad raised his head, then lowered it again: "Just watch it, it's good to take a break."
"By the way, what do you think of Yanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications?"
"Although it's a second-tier university, it seems that you have to be close to the first-tier score to be admitted. It should be a good school, right?"
Mom closed the door carefully and said, "I think that Normal University is good."
The couple sat in front of the coffee table, flipping through the instruction book, each page of which was as big as a newspaper.
Lin Qianqian sat on the chair, watching with excitement.
Because the format of this program seems too novel.
Soon, a trainee made a heart gesture: “Vote for me!”
Lin Qianqian then remembered that she should vote for Wang Chuyang.
So I logged out and watched, and it turned out that only Penguin Video members could vote for the contestants.
Each Penguin Video member has six votes per week.
You can vote for three contestants, with a maximum of three votes and a minimum of one vote.
Non-member viewers can only vote on Weibo under the "Summer of Idols" super topic.
However, the final formation of the group will be based on the votes on the program page.
The voting weight on the program page is 70%, the weight on Weibo super topic is 1%, and the tutor’s opinion is 20%.
The opinions of the super topic and the mentors combined are not as important as the voting on the program page.
Lin Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "Want to become a member?"
"Forget it, let's finish watching the first episode first."
When HNT entered the scene, many players were talking about HNT.
And on the barrage.
"Girl with braces, what a beauty!"
"Rub, rub, rub on this smooth floor!"
Swipe the screen!
It was so crowded that I couldn’t see the show at all.
Lin Qianqian laughed out loud and didn't even turn off the barrage.
I don't want to see HNT anyway.
Lin Qianqian took the opportunity to pick up her phone and sent a message to her good friend: "Have you watched "Summer of Idols"? Come and see Wang Chuyang!"
The friend quickly replied: "Who wants to see Wang Chuyang? I want to see Lin Jianqiu."
Lin Qianqian: "Hehe, even though you like Lin Jianqiu, as long as you like the three little ones, we can still be good friends."
A friend replied: "Oh, look, Han Zhou, An Lan, Zhang Ceyong! And Lu Jin!"
The four great mentors appeared on the scene.
As the competition system was announced, the audience realized it later.
"That is to say, after this period, all trainees have gone through two months of devilish training until today?"
“So, if you perform well today, your current level should actually be much higher than before. Even if you perform poorly, you may still have a chance to turn things around.”
When operating an idol, the first thing to promote is youth.
The second thing to promote is hard work.
It's completely different from previous talent shows.
In the past, talent shows promoted who sang well and who looked good, and it had nothing to do with how hard one worked.
After entering the program, the amount of improvement seems to have little to do with the program team. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the mentors are just there to come and see how the contestants are practicing, and they don't provide much guidance at all.
If a contestant can give one or two suggestions, he or she is lucky.
The first thing "Summer of Idol" does is to make the audience understand.
What you saw was them two months ago. Now they have gone through horrific training for two months, and it will continue in the future.
This way, the audience will be looking forward to how they train during the two months.
Secondly, I also want to know what everyone’s level is before the show starts.
The show is now on air and the mentors have begun to let the contestants show themselves one at a time.
The first group to appear are the three new entertainment companies.
"Proud Boy"!
The vast majority of people who watch the show are teenagers.
They may have heard or even sung the later released song "You, My Deskmate" countless times, but they have never heard of "Proud Boy".
On the stage, Wang Chuyang, Lin Jianqiu and Wang Mo performed very maturely.
Wang Mo's choreography and dance, especially the lead dance in the prelude, are very handsome.
After the prelude ended, Lin Jianqiu's dance movements became smaller and he sang alone in the front.
“In the beginning, I was
An innocent and crybaby child
Ten years later, I finally understood
As long as you give it your all, there is no such thing as failure~"
What time is it now? The college entrance examination is approaching, the preparation period for the high school entrance examination has begun, and it is graduation season.
The first sentence of this song has captured the hearts of many people.
Because it suits my mood.
Of course, it also suits Lin Qianqian's heart.
“So handsome!”
Although Wang Chuyang's dancing skills are not as good as Wang Mo's, Wang Chuyang dances beautifully because of his natural advantage.
Lin Jianqiu's singing also triggered a lot of crazy comments from viewers who knew his name.
Many people fell in love with Lin Jianqiu from the first sentence he said on the show.
This guy of the same age looks a bit like a bad boy, but his eyes always have a flame.
As the song was sung, many people were posting comments crazily.
“It sounds nice!”
"Hey, this group has something, this song is really nice!"
"Of course there is something. This song was written by Han Zhou, the gold medal songwriter who wrote the album for An Lan."
"Of course I know Han Zhou, but isn't this cheating? If he keeps writing songs, who can win over these people in his company?"
"Cheating? No, the main theme of Summer of Idols is the pursuit of excellence in all aspects. The company's investment in idols is also part of the program. If the company is unwilling to invest, then the idols they promote will never succeed."
Many people still don’t know the difference between idols and don’t know those things, but soon they will understand the first thing about idols.
The company's investment in idols, to some extent, determines how far and how high the idols can go.
When the song reached the chorus, the three people's dance moves began to slow down.
Although the song becomes more intense, it is not a fast song, so Wang Mo linked it with a very slow choreography, pursuing a sense of power and handsomeness.
From the beginning, Han Zhou did not reject the weak style, but that does not mean he only goes for the weak style. Therefore, Han Zhou approved of Wang Mo's powerful choreography.
Wang Chuyang's dancing and singing made the barrage even crazier.
"Ah! So handsome!!!"
"Such strong skills, I feel like they are no worse than the official singers."
"I'm from 'Summer New Singer'. I found that the singers here who sing and dance are better than the audition singers over there. What's going on?"
Of course, there aren’t that many viewers coming from there right now, but it can only be said that this is a beginning.
The horror of the webcast is not the horror of the first hour and a half of the official broadcast, but the horror promotion effect of the first week.
At this time, Wang Chuyang turned sideways, tilted his head back, raised his right hand high, and slowly slid his right hand down until it was level with the camera, as if pointing at the audience in front of the camera.
"Run, proud boy!
Young hearts have firm beliefs
Burn, proud blood
I want to sing the victory song again! "
“Sing it again!!!”
All the comments were about this.
After the die-hard fans had finished watching, passers-by started commenting: "It sounds pretty good!"
“Why did I only hear this song today?”
"I heard that this song was released before "My Deskmate". I haven't heard it before."
"Haha, I saw the promotion on Penguin Space, but I didn't listen to it. I regretted it after listening to it today!"
“If only I had listened to it when it was first released!”
When a group of people finished their performance, Zhang Ceyong applauded: "Good, very good performance, good singing, good dancing, very mature, no worse than many professional singers."
An Lan also gave her affirmation: "There is no flaw in your singing skills and your pitch is very good, but this is your own song. I hope you can maintain this level in the next show."
Lu Jin also nodded: "The dance is very good, especially the choreography can choreograph this passionate and youthful song which is not a fast song to such a level. It's very good. They are worthy of being the three new idols in the entertainment industry and represent the strongest idol group in the country now."
Han Zhou spoke last, bluntly: "Before your debut, you already had hundreds of thousands of fans. Before coming to the show, the fans of other groups combined were not as many as yours."
“So, I am extremely demanding of you.”
"However, at least today, your performance was perfect, but everything is not that simple."
"You are now at the top of the pyramid. Maybe in one hundred and fifty days, you will eventually fail as a group."
"So, after today, show me your hard work and let me see your growth. I will be stricter next time."
After Han Zhou said this, many people in the barrage expressed their understanding.
Some even said: "Hey, Brother Han Zhou, you have to be stricter with the three little ones, come on!"
"Brother Han Zhou is awesome. Being strict with them is good for them!"
"I just like Han Zhou's attitude. This is what a mentor should be like."
"Please whip them!"
Many viewers were a little confused.
It’s obvious that these remarks were made by die-hard fans of the New Entertainment Big Three from the perspective of die-hard fans, and that’s why they spoke in this tone.
But why are their speeches so different from the usual Chen Yin fans and even from the fans of previous singers?
Aren’t fans supposed to be crazy?
What they don’t know is that the fans of the three new entertainment stars are much more crazy than Chen Yin’s fans.
However, he didn't dare to be arrogant towards Han Zhou.
Because Han Zhou is the top star of New World Entertainment, the best gold medal lyricist and composer of New World Entertainment, and also the gold medal producer.
Whether the three new entertainment companies can reach the peak in the future depends on Han Zhou.
What's wrong with licking? Isn't it normal for fans to lick their idol's teacher?
After chatting for a few sentences, passers-by saw the fans of Xinyu Sanzi scolding New World’s boss Yang Hong for exploiting the trainees on the screen.
"The three new entertainment stars should have debuted a long time ago and should have become famous a long time ago. It's all their fault for exploiting them and not giving them any resources."
"Tui! Spit to the new world first."
"I hope the three little ones can perform well, so that the company can be less stingy and stop amassing money so rampantly, and give some resources to the three little ones."
Passersby understood.
This most famous group seems to be exploited by the company and has no opportunities, so their die-hard fans attach great importance to this debut program!
Someone took a look and couldn't help but retreat tactically.
Just half an hour after the show started, Wang Chuyang 's personal member votes had already reached 250,000!
The lowest ranked idol only received around 200 votes.
As expected of someone who brought his own fans to the show, he really has some skills.
The show goes on, with different idol groups, different styles of songs, and different styles of dances. Some people will appreciate them, while others will say they are not good enough.
The only thing that the audience didn't expect was that Han Zhou, as a mentor, was extremely strict.
If there is any poor performance, it will be pointed out directly and sharply .
"You should practice your lung capacity. Panting after singing and dancing is not a sign of hard work, but a sign of physical weakness."
"Your fancy inflections are in the wrong place. Find a vocal teacher to practice with you."
"The guitar is good, but the playing is not good."
"You dare to perform piano at this level? The program team should pay attention and arrange a teacher for him to practice."
Han Zhou's words were merciless.
In the eyes of many viewers, it was a very good performance, but it was criticized to bits.
"No way. He was just a talent show singer a few months ago. Now he's acting so high and mighty."
"Haha, in front, Zhang Ceyong, the Heavenly King, also nodded in agreement. Are you more awesome than the Heavenly King?"
When it comes to barrage and comment control, who can beat New World?
Several small companies that participated in this project wanted to use barrage comments to guide some viewers to help their trainees gain popularity out of "pity" and "sympathy".
The barrage was suppressed very badly.
"Everything depends on strength, don't act pitiful!"
The show continues until all groups have performed.
Many trainee contestants were shouting the name HNT.
If there is anyone that the audience is most familiar with, it is HNT.
HNT is too famous, and "My Skateboard Shoes" became a hit. On short video apps, some people still use this song to make funny videos, and many comment sections will have comments like "friction, friction" and "is the devil's pace."
After they went to the Banana Country, the song "What a Beautiful Scene" became the object of ridicule on the entire Internet.
A country bumpkin, a non-mainstream person. What era is this? It's 3202 and you're still playing the non-mainstream game?
Black is equal to red.
There are few online video users who don't know HNT.
Moreover, Han Zhou spoke even more impolitely.
"They can't sing, they can't dance, they don't study hard, and they have little talent."
Zhang Ceyong turned and looked at Han Zhou: "Is it so bad? Then I feel like they seem to be the most famous of all the groups."
Han Zhou explained seriously: "They shouldn't be here in the first place. As trainees, they shouldn't be eligible to release songs. They should keep training until they are past the debut age but still can't release songs."
"But the company gave them a chance to try out some more interesting songs."
“And they became famous.”
Zhang Ceyong nodded: "So that's how it is."
Han Zhou took a deep breath and said, "If that's all, it's fine."
"When they released their second song, netizens saw through everything. At this point, the three guys realized their mistakes of evading and being lazy, and wanted to continue in this industry."
"But their poor business capabilities have long been known throughout the Internet."
"Among the young people nowadays, anyone who knows about the entertainment industry or the short video and niche music circles is a hater of theirs."
Zhang Ceyong looked at Han Zhou, and the close-up shot was given to the three HNT brothers who were preparing.
The comments were also full of comments: "Even Han Zhou, the company's top guy, senior and teacher, said this. HNT's presence really lowers the quality of the show."
"HNT shouldn't be on this show. They don't have the talent."
"You can be black for a while or red for a while by relying on hype, but you will never succeed."
"It seems that "Summer of Idols" really depends entirely on the contestants' abilities! It's so ruthless."
Han Zhou did not finish his speech, but continued to speak. Of course, these will not be edited out, because many viewers do not know HNT's experience:
"However, in order to continue in this industry, they are willing to lose face and release songs on short video websites. They even agreed to go to Banana Country after becoming popular there. This is to make money. Only when they make money will the company continue to write songs for them."
"Well, they're going to sing this song. I wrote it."
Lu Jin was puzzled: "But you said that their professional ability is not good. If they can't sing well, wouldn't it be a waste of your song?"
Han Zhou smiled: "I paid."
"I wrote a song that they can't sing. If they sing it well, I will continue to write songs for them in the future. If they can't sing it well again, I won't write songs for them even if they pay me."
An Lan smiled and said, "So, their future does not lie in the program "Summer of Idols", but in whether they work hard enough after they wake up, and whether they can catch up with the progress of other trainees in a short time."
At this time, the audience felt very strange.
This group is blackened by the entire internet, and even the mentors and company bosses are not optimistic about this group.
Standing on the stage, the three people's expressions looked like they were saying goodbye before the final battle.
If you don't succeed, you will die.
Do they still think they can succeed?
Does it make sense?
With your level, the whole network knows you are trash, you still want to succeed?
The strength of the New Entertainment Trio at the beginning of the show and the weakness of HNT at the end are in stark contrast!
However, HNT captain Zhang Die's eyes seemed to be burning with fire.
The prelude blasted, and Zhang Die regained his composure. He looked towards the camera and stretched out his hand:
Where is the world full of flowers?
If it really existed, I would definitely go..."
“I never gave up on my ideals.
Even in the grey days
Maybe I don't have the talent
But I have the innocence of dreams…”
“But I want to keep exploring
Give all your youth and leave no regrets! "
"Run forward, facing the cold eyes and ridicule
How can we feel the vastness of life without going through hardships?
Fate can't make us kneel down and beg for mercy
Even if my arms are covered with blood!!!"
On stage, the three HNT brothers sang with tears in their eyes.
In front of the computer, Lin Qianqian, who had been praising Wang Chuyang for being so handsome with great fanfare, squatted on the chair again, hugging her knees with her hands.
Talking to myself: "Sissi, why are you crying?"
The barrage gave HNT the highest respect.
It’s clean and refreshing, without a single comment.
Everyone was in shock.
Respect the innocent persistence of the position.
Zhang Die raised his head and sang at the top of his voice: "Keep running! With the pride of a child!"
"It is better to burn out than to linger on!
For the good in my heart
Don’t compromise until you get old! ”
Amid the melodious sound of the violin, Lin Qianqian stood up from the stool and tore off the piece of paper that had been pasted on the desk a year ago.
It said, "Come on, Xixi! Get into a second-tier university."
After tearing it off, Lin Qianqian wrote a new sentence.
'Keep running Sissi! Don't give up'
Sitting on the chair, Xixi muttered to herself: "Actually, the goal of getting into a second-tier university is a lie, right? Xixi, you want to..."
"Come on! Work hard! Go to Yanjing University!!!"
Mom and Dad looked at each other as they listened to their daughter's loud soliloquy coming from her bedroom.
Dad lowered his head and flipped through the application guide. Now, it was time to look at the first-tier schools.
So, who gave my timid daughter such courage?
Dad pointed at Qinghua and said, "Look, this school is pretty good."
Mom turned the page and pointed at Central University of Finance and Economics: "That's exaggerated, Qinghua is exaggerated, this one is pretty good."
