Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 175 TFGIRLS
Tomorrow Star Hotel conference room.

The entrance corridor was crowded with parents and teenage girls.

"Xiao Xiao, remember, don't be stage-frightened, just be bold and perform."

"Yuqi, you're the best. Mom, come over here and touch up your child's makeup. She's going to go on stage soon."

"."

At this time, Li Wentao's secretary Deng Jie came out to maintain order.

"Everyone please be quiet, the interview is about to begin."

"Please enter in the order you drew lots. Each interview will take approximately 15 minutes."

In the conference room, Cheng Xi, Li Wentao, Reba, Zhou Ye and Feng Chunhua were all there.

Reba is the studio's number one artist, and Zhou Ye is the future captain designated by Cheng Xi.

It just so happened that both of them had nothing to do on the weekend, so Cheng Xi asked them to come over and study together.

Feng Chunhua was Li Yitong's former agent. After being called by Cheng Xi, she was scolded by Li Wentao.

Now that he asked her to come, Li Wentao understood that the boss probably wanted Feng Chunhua to lead this group.

Li Wentao thought to himself, it looks like Feng Chunhua is about to take off.

At 8 o'clock, the interview officially began.

Number one is called Miaoguo.

She is Xiaoxiao’s deskmate and best friend.

This time I was mainly brought here by Xiaoxiao, but I didn’t expect that I would pass the preliminary exam.

"Hello, Mr. Zuibai, hello to all the interview judges, I am No. 1 Miaoguo."

"I'm from Shenzhen Art College. My specialties are dancing and painting. The talent show I brought is folk dance."

Li Wentao nodded and signaled to start.

The three parts of the interview are self-introduction, talent show and impromptu questions and answers.

This was also notified before the interview began.

The list that Li Wentao handed to Cheng Xi this time also contained 100 people.

It can be said to be a simple top 100.

After looking through the information, Cheng Xi selected 20 little girls whose information looked good for interviews.

Most of them are little girls born between 97 and 00.

Taking into account that Tian Xiwei was born in 1997 and Zhou Ye was born in 1998, we tried to get closer to this age.

Among the 100 names on the list, there is one that is quite familiar, and another that is quite memorable.

It’s Cheng Xiao and Song Yuqi.

The former is from Shenzhen, and the latter is a native of Yanjing.

It seems that first-tier cities are more sensitive to entertainment information.

Families also start cultivating their children's artistic abilities at an earlier age.

These two are also the seeded players this time.

"Hello everyone, I'm number 8, Song Yuqi."

Song Yuqi performed well, much better than the little girl before her.

Despite his young age, he behaves generously and naturally.

"Hello everyone, I'm number 16, Cheng Xiao."

Hearing this, Cheng Xi was shocked.

When Cheng Xi saw the name Cheng Xiao, he became interested.

But I still want to see if I can choose a better seedling.

In fact, the young actresses of later generations are facing a different market situation from their predecessors.

It is difficult to have a national idol.

Because times have changed, people have more entertainment options to choose from.

It is no longer the era where a movie or a hit TV series can bring out new stars.

There is no longer a name that everyone can pronounce.

Nowadays, many things are differentiated and fragmented.

Most people watch short videos on Douyin, which are faster, shorter and more stimulating.

The most important thing is that it is easier. Just lie down and take a little bit to get a constant supply of dopamine.

There are all kinds of things to see.

So it’s good enough for an idol to be recognizable in one field.

The fact that Cheng Xiao is still well-known to Cheng Xi in later generations must have his own unique qualities.

"The program I brought is jazz dance."

After saying that, Cheng Xiao began his performance.

Her movements were accompanied by music and had a distinct sense of rhythm.

It seems that the dance is specially imitated from the Korean K-pop girl group.

Li Wentao whispered to Cheng Xi at this time:

"The performance was very dynamic and lively, which should suit the group's positioning."

Cheng Xi looked at Cheng Xiao with admiration.

She is not the type of girl who is very thin and slender.

Her long hair was dyed yellow and tied into two big braids.

As the dance went up and down, after the interview, Cheng Xiao was indeed more outstanding.

It also better fits my own positioning of the three little ones.

Of course if you say she has a good figure now, that’s not the case.

It's a very healthy kind of beauty.

There is an invincible youthful energy in it.

But after growing up, the nickname Nai Xiao is still very famous.

Cheng Xi thought:

As expected, there are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames.

If you choose someone else, you can only roughly guess what they will look like in the future.

But the risk of choosing Cheng Xiao is relatively low.

At least it has been proved in later generations that the figure was not unexpected, and Cheng Xi deliberately trained him in the direction of milk flute.

should be no problem.

Maybe even milkier.

The interview ended at 12:30 noon.

Li Wentao: "I think Cheng Xiao, Miao Guo, and Song Yuqi are all good."

Reba: "I think Song Yuqi is better."

Feng Chunhua: "Cheng Xiao is good."

Cheng Xi heard everyone's discussion and was most impressed by these three people.

Cheng Xi thought about it, and without hesitation, he said directly:

"Let's just go with Cheng Xiao, he's still my cousin."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ye suddenly interrupted and said:
"Cheng Xi, I don't like that Cheng Xiao. I know she's a thorn in my side the moment she appears."

"Why dye your hair at such a young age?"

Cheng Xi: “???”

Who else can be as troublesome as you? You're making studying at school a real hassle.

Besides, he is the same age as you, why do you act so old?

"Cheng Xi, I'm the captain. Like Reba, I choose Song Yuqi. You have to listen to me."

Cheng Xi and Li Wentao looked at each other and could only sigh that the selection criteria of boys and girls were indeed different.

Feng Chunhua's perspective is more objective, as she looks at it from the perspective of cultivating artists.

"Wentao, let's eat first. Tell Cheng Xiao's parents to come to the studio this afternoon to review the contract."

Seeing that Cheng Xili ignored her, Zhou Ye became sulky.

Who is the troublemaker after all?

Just don't let two people fight in the same class.

office.

Cheng Xi was thinking about how to use the more than 100 million yuan of new funds to maximize the benefits.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

It turned out that Cheng Xiao's parents insisted on bringing Cheng Xiao to thank Zui Bai.

Now that the contract has been signed, the studio will train the three-person team together.

On weekdays, we study together in the art specialty class of Yanshi Normal University Affiliated Middle School.

On weekends, I follow the teacher to learn basic skills such as singing, dancing, and body movements.

After they become a little famous, occasionally get them to participate in some variety shows and announcements.

"Boss, the contract has been signed."

"Teacher Zuibai, thank you very much for taking a liking to Cheng Xiao. If she does anything wrong in the future, feel free to criticize her. She has a somewhat rebellious personality."

Cheng Xi nodded and said:

"Uncle and aunt, you're welcome. Since we've signed the contract, we're a family."

"Wentao, pour you two a cup of tea."

"No, no, it's too much trouble for you, we will go out now."

But unexpectedly, the little girl Cheng Xiao spoke:

"I want to cancel my contract! My parents forced me to come here. I want to go to Korea!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xi blinked and looked at Li Wentao.

Li Wentao was also a little embarrassed at this time. He had just said that he had signed the contract, and something strange happened here.

Isn't that a slap in my face?
Cheng Xiao's parents were so nervous that they covered their child's mouth and scolded her for talking nonsense.

All of a sudden, Cheng Xiao's tears came down.

Cheng Xi saw this and roughly understood what was going on. He stopped Li Wentao from speaking.

"Uncle and aunt, Wentao, please go out first." "I want to talk to Cheng Xiao alone."

Seeing this, Cheng Xiao's parents looked at Cheng Xi hesitantly, and were then taken out by Li Wentao.

Before leaving, he gave one more reminder:
"Xiao Xiao, don't talk nonsense, he is your boss now!"

After Cheng Xiao's parents left, she suddenly became full of energy and no longer had tears in her eyes.

Instead, he looked at Cheng Xi with his eyes wide open, showing no sign of being shy.

Seeing this, Cheng Xi realized that this person was also an excellent actor.

"Are you Zuibai?"

"Ah."

"Aren't you very dark? I've seen your gifs."

"I got a tan from filming."

"I saw your 'Divination' dance. Jin Chen danced very well, but it's not my style."

"I'm going to Korea to realize my dream of dancing."

When Cheng Xi heard Cheng Xiao say this, he thought that this was another fan girl who was brainwashed by a Korean group.

But he also understood, after all, Cheng Xiao was only 13 years old and was in his rebellious period.

You have to treat her as an equal to communicate better.

So Cheng Xi said:

"You've asked me so many questions. Out of mutual courtesy, shouldn't you answer a few of my questions?"

"What do you want to ask?"

Cheng Xi smiled and said, if a little girl can't handle it, there's no point for me to try.

"Do you love dancing, or do you love the feeling of being the center of attention and being famous?"

Cheng Xiao sat on the sofa, holding her long braid with both hands.

He even crossed his legs and tilted his head and said:
"You set a trap for me. Can't I enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention while dancing?"

Cheng Xi smiled. This Cheng Xiao was not only a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

Still a little smart, knowing not to be fooled:

"You have to choose one of the two?"

"Then let's get everyone's attention."

"Then we have a deal."

"Ah? What agreement? I didn't promise you anything."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Xiao was quite alert. Cheng Xi thought she was a carefree girl.

"You're the center of attention. We're all young people, so I won't be polite."

"Your age has narrowed your horizons and your vision. The Koreans you're obsessed with are nothing to me."

When Cheng Xiao heard Zui Bai say that we are all young people, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of goodwill towards him.

But his words that belittled Koreans made her very dissatisfied:

"Isn't your "Divination" adapted from Korean?"

"I didn't expect you to be so clever. You hit the point. But you're still young, so you didn't see the essence."

"I'm not young, and you're not much older than me."

After saying this, Cheng Xiao actually puffed out his chest.

Looking at the small hill that was only slightly raised, Cheng Xi couldn't help but laugh.

"How many people listen to the original song 'La La La'? How many people in the entire country of South Korea?"

"After I changed it and put it on Mango TV's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, how many people listened? Not even on the same level."

"You can only attract everyone's attention in China."

This time Cheng Xiao was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking.

Since it was their first conversation, Cheng Xi politely agreed with her.

But I also don’t want to continue to nag me or anything like that.

That's not interesting.

So he said:

"I just finished speaking as a peer. Now I want to say a few words to you from the perspective of your boss."

"First, you can terminate the contract, but you have to pay the high penalty within a limited time."

"Second, if you don't fulfill the contract, we will take legal action against your parents."

"Third, your parents' contract as guardians is fully effective. If you continue to behave like this, don't blame us for punishing you."

Cheng Xiao sat on the sofa, listening to Cheng Xi talking one, two, three.

The more he listened, the uglier his expression became. He really couldn't understand why someone who had just been like an older brother to him could suddenly turn against him.

She had just seen the amount of the penalty for breach of contract, and she was afraid that even if she lost everything she had, it would not be enough to pay it.

By then, not to mention going abroad, even eating will be a problem.

When Cheng Xiao heard the last sentence of punishment, he suddenly felt that the sofa under his butt was very hot.

Suddenly he stood up.

But she still took into consideration her reputation as a rebellious girl, and said unconvincedly:
"Zuibai, what's your ability to threaten a little girl like me?"

Cheng Xi has dealt with women many times, so he naturally knows when to treat their words as bullshit.

He ignored Cheng Xiao and threw a folder to her, saying:
"Do you know music?"

"If you know music, then look carefully before you fart."

Cheng Xiao was stunned and subconsciously caught the folder thrown by Cheng Xi with both hands.

When I opened it, it looked like there was a song inside?

Looking at the song title written at the top - Youth Training Manual.

Cheng Xiao originally wanted to continue to reply stubbornly, "You are the one who farted."

As I watched, I forgot what I was about to say.

Instead, he hummed softly to the music score.

“Follow me

left hand right hand
A slow motion
Right hand, left hand
Slow motion replay

This song

Give you happiness
Have you fallen in love with me

The center of this stage
Only with me can it shine

Only with me can I shine."

After Cheng Xi threw the music score to Cheng Xiao, he leisurely drank his tea.

Seeing the future Nai Xiao staring intently, he even hummed softly and half jumped up.

I found it funny for a moment.

Why bother competing with a child?
Or do you enjoy the pleasure of this kind of training?

Director Cheng, you can't make any mistakes!

the next day.

Cheng Xi called Zhou Ye, Tian Xiwei and Cheng Xiao to the studio.

Let them meet each other and get to know each other.

Yesterday, Cheng Xiao was confronted by Cheng Xi, his peer, and then he was hit with a stick and finally a lollipop.

I just followed my parents obediently.

If you don't say anything, the contract will be terminated.

Zhou Ye and Cheng Xiao were both born in 98, and Tian Xiwei is one year older.

All three of them are in the second year of junior high school, which makes it more convenient.

Cheng Xi called the three of them, as well as Li Wentao and Feng Chunhua, into the conference room.

It's just a small meeting.

"From now on, the three of you will be led by Sister Feng. If you have any questions, please go directly to her."

After that, Feng Chunhua briefly introduced herself.

The three of them also called out "Sister Feng, Sister Feng."

"Everyone is here today. This is a group that our studio will spend more than ten years to build."

"Train you to become the top stars of the future."

"That's why I'm going to be frank. I have three rules here."

"First, smoking, drinking, and drug abuse on campus are strictly prohibited."

"Secondly, you are not allowed to date before you reach adulthood, and after you reach adulthood, you are not allowed to take any photos involving kissing or more."

"Third, we must firmly establish a sense of patriotism and never allow hateful remarks against our country."

"If anyone commits any of the above offenses, they will be expelled from the League without reason and suspended for 20 years. If the contract clause is triggered, they will be held liable for breach of contract."

Cheng Xi knew that most future artists would fail due to these three reasons.

Cheng Xi doesn't want to spend more than ten years building up resources only to have the team destroyed.

The three little girls are in a critical period of forming their values.

So it must be corrected, otherwise the result will be half the effort with twice the results.

At this time, everyone present listened to what Cheng Xi said.

Everyone knows that the boss is so strict because he is full of hope for the team.

The three little ones around Zhou Ye nodded.

Seeing this, Cheng Xi knew he had said almost everything and prepared to get up and leave.

Let Li Wentao and Feng Chunhua talk to them about what happens next.

As a result, Zhou Ye stopped Cheng Xi and said:
"Cheng Xi, what's the name of our team?"

"Call TFGIRLS."

"What do you mean?"

"The dung girl."
