Chapter 9, first episode edited!
"Yang Chaoyue, which entertainment company do you work for?"
"Chang Chaoyue, where are you from?"
"Chaoyang, you're so beautiful."
...
After the mentors openly showed goodwill to Yang Chaoyue, practically slapping a label of "connection" on her face, the trainees all stepped forward to get close to her, trying to find out the truth.
In the entertainment industry, flattery and fawning are essential skills.
Yang Chaoyue was caught off guard by the sudden enthusiasm.
"You've got it wrong. I'm just an employee at a sock factory. My boss pays my salary and lets me participate in the competition."
Upon hearing Yang Chaoyue's explanation, everyone began to think.
Could she be the girlfriend of the son of some domestic clothing tycoon?
Anyway, for the mentors to fawn over him like this, this young master must be someone important.
These trainees all tacitly understood that Yang Chaoyue was not someone to be trifled with among this group of trainees!
Once the designated time arrived, the recording of the program officially began.
The preliminary selection was initiated by Huang Zitao, who guided the contestants to showcase their stage presence.
Tang Lou, working behind the scenes, sat next to the director, looking at the camera and giving instructions via earpiece at any time.
Huang Zitao passionately shouted, "Showcase your charm on stage!"
Soon after the program officially started, Yang Chaoyue also went on stage.
Originally an unknown, she gained attention from the mentors, and the trainees all considered her a top contender!
Once on stage, Yang Chaoyue began her clumsy performance, and her dance movements clearly involved counting beats.
However, although her movements were a little awkward, they were full of cuteness.
Watching Yang Chaoyue's performance, the trainees present became even more certain that Yang Chaoyue's background was definitely not simple.
Otherwise, how could such basic skills have earned the unanimous encouragement of the instructors?
"Yang Chaoyue is indeed unfathomable and not to be trifled with!"
This became a consensus among the trainees!
The mentors were also stunned.
Is this the trainee that Brother Tanglou has his eye on? Isn't he a bit too weak? Is there something special about him?
However, to rise to the position of mentor in the entertainment industry, one can naturally turn black into white with a single word. There's always a reason to praise someone.
After Huang Zitao asked Yang Chaoyue to introduce herself, the scene changed instantly.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yang Chaoyue, a female worker from a sock factory!"
"I'm the village beauty, I'm the hope of our entire village!"
Upon hearing Yang Chaoyue's earnest introduction, the audience burst into laughter, amused by her down-to-earth remarks.
Huang Zitao suddenly understood why Tang Lou had recommended this little girl; it was really interesting.
"Yang Chaoyue, are you really the village beauty?"
Yang Chaoyue nodded sheepishly, "Yes!"
Seeing everyone laughing, Yang Chaoyue felt a little embarrassed, but said sincerely:
"I'm really serious. I'm the kind of person who makes people laugh no matter what I'm doing seriously."
Hearing Yang Chaoyue's sincere words, the trainees and mentors present all felt a sense of pity and affection.
"Wow, Chaoyue is so cute! I love this little sister."
The mentors' eyes lit up as they suddenly understood why Tang Lou had such high hopes for this young girl.
She has a truly magical aura that makes her incredibly likable.
Huang Zitao then asked, "So, what's your reason for participating in the competition?"
Yang Chaoyue gave a very honest answer:
"Of course it's for the salary. In addition to the 2000 yuan salary from the production team, which includes food and accommodation, our sock factory also pays double."
Hearing this, everyone smiled knowingly; the little girl was just too adorable.
It's safe to say that this is the most memorable contestant from today's recording!
The production team finally understood why Tang Lou had given Yang Chaoyue special attention, filming more scenes of her, making her a key figure in their promotional campaign!
The mentors quickly gave Yang Chaoyue an A grade!
Huang Zitao directly gave the reason: "I think Chaoyue's popularity with the audience is also a kind of strength!"
Zhang Jie echoed this sentiment: "I think Chaoyue is like the show's Little Swallow—straightforward, innocent, and adorable, a real breath of fresh air! A rating!"
Little Pig's social skills are also top-notch: "I agree with Zi Tao's point of view. Chao Yue's greatest strength is her audience appeal. Although her dance skills are weak, these can be learned later. A person's aura and audience appeal are very mysterious. I also agree with the A rating."
The mentors openly supported Yang Chaoyue, and although the trainees were somewhat resentful, they all congratulated her on the surface.
After all, everyone knows that the personas on the show are intentionally designed. Yang Chaoyue says this, but who knows what her background is?
Backstage, Tang Lou was somewhat surprised to see the mentors' ratings. In her previous life, Yang Chaoyue only received a C grade due to her weak dance skills.
Could it be that because I gave him the questions and intensive training, plus the favors we've done, he's been promoted directly to A-level?
However, this is not necessarily a problem. After all, Yang Chaoyue's popularity with the audience is truly amazing. Controversy after the broadcast may not necessarily be a bad thing!
Yang Chaoyue, the person involved, was completely bewildered, wondering how she had become a student in Class A without even realizing it.
Just as the boss said, I advanced smoothly.
"Oh my, does this mean I can get the bonus from the boss?"
Yang Chaoyue was in a great mood. She didn't really care about the outcome of the competition, nor did she expect any reaction after the broadcast.
All she knows now is that she got a bonus!
After Yang Chaoyue's evaluation ended, when the next contestants came out, Tang Lou reminded the filming crew in advance to give more screen time to the key contestants from his previous life.
Under the same script in Tanglou, the mentors highlighted the character traits of these contestants even more than in the previous life.
In short, this version is more mature and has a more variety show feel than the previous one!
With Tang Lou's behind-the-scenes planning, the filming of the preliminary selection went exceptionally smoothly, especially the filming and discovery of these key contestants, which yielded a wealth of material.
Next, we'll be editing the first episode and handling the promotion after its release.
Tang Lou also participated in the later editing process, providing many important suggestions.
A week later, the first episode was edited and the project team invited Shen Yan to watch it together.
The entire leadership team of KuMiao Video was invited, and everyone was very interested in the results of the first episode of the show.
As KuMiao Video's first self-produced variety show, and with such a large investment, Shen Yan was under a lot of pressure.
However, as the first episode aired, this pressure gradually disappeared.
All the leaders watching went from looking tense and anxious to being delighted, amazed, and laughing!
"Great, this show is much better than I expected."
"It's fantastic, both in terms of the diverse female characters portrayed in the program and in its promotion of the values of female independence."
"That little girl named Yang Chaoyue is so interesting, the hope of the whole village. Haha, so funny. Tang Lou, you have great taste!"
"Tang Lou, the program you planned certainly did not disappoint."
"This program is great, no problems at all. Now, we'll begin the final push before its release!"
"That's right, marketing and promotion are very important. Everyone needs to get involved. Such a great program must make a strong first impression!"
Shen Yan looked at Tang Lou with satisfaction: "Tang Lou, you'll still be in charge from now on. Don't worry about the advertising budget; I'll approve it."
