Chapter 636: Parents of Food and Clothing
Hangzhou.
At the recording site of [Produce 101], 100 young and beautiful female group trainees finished a day of study and training and dragged their tired bodies back to their respective dormitories.
The variety show officially started recording on March 21st, and the location was a renovated hotel in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, which had dormitories for the contestants, various practice rooms, dance classrooms, music classrooms and canteens.
All the venues were carefully built by the program team, clean and tidy, and the style was relatively warm.
All the contestants who came to participate in the competition began closed training after entering the venue. After getting up every day, they went to class, eat and rest at a fixed time, which was similar to ordinary college students, except that they were under the camera except for some personal time.
The actual broadcast time of [Produce 101] is April 21st, which is still a month away.
However, it will be a direct competition at that time. The previous month is to train the contestants and accumulate materials for the broadcast.
There are still two months from the start of the program to the last group debut, which means that the competition and study and training time for all contestants of [Produce 101] is 90 days.
Another day of hard training ended. After pushing open the door of the dormitory, Yang Chaoyue collapsed directly on her bed and refused to get up.
She felt very hard to receive training at [Wajijiwa], but she didn't expect that after joining the group and starting to record the program, the intensity of learning and training here would be even greater.
In addition to dance, vocal music, and physical fitness classes every day, there are occasionally group psychology classes, which are not only physically tiring, but also mentally tiring.
To be honest, Yang Chaoyue had the idea of retreating several times in the previous training, but it was just a thought. She was used to the life of her boss as a big star. Now she has this opportunity. How can she not fight for it?
Moreover, she contacted Dan Jie some time ago, and the other party also comforted her for a while, and then told her about the boss's instructions, and Yang Chaoyue felt much more at ease.
She was originally worried that if she was not with the boss, she would be forgotten by the boss and soon forget about her assistant, but it seems that the boss can still remember her, and the two years of hard work have not been in vain.
Thinking about it in her mind, she suddenly smelled a fragrance.
Swallowing her saliva, Yang Chaoyue sat up and looked around the room.
"Jingjing, what are you eating? It smells so good."
"Self-heating hot pot, haven't you tried it? I bought it at the canteen downstairs." Fu Jing, who shared the same dormitory, sat on a chair opposite the bed with a steaming plastic hot pot in front of her.
"Aren't you going to the cafeteria to eat later?"
"No, my dance class is delayed today. It's already past 7 o'clock and I don't want to move."
Yang Chaoyue got up and sat opposite Fu Jing, looking at the chili in the hot pot with some surprise.
"Are you not afraid of getting acne if you eat spicy food?"
"I'm from southern Hunan. I've been eating spicy food since I was a child. As long as I don't eat it every day, it's fine. I'm used to it."
Yang Chaoyue looked at Fu Jing with envy.
Unlike her, a poor student, this roommate in the same dormitory is definitely a top student among the trainees.
Tall and long-legged, with delicate features and gorgeous looks, she is definitely one of the best-looking people among all the trainees in terms of appearance.
And she has been learning to sing and dance since she was a child, and she can also play the piano. After joining the group, she is very comfortable in all classes, which makes Yang Chaoyue very envious.
She thought she was not bad looking, but compared with others, she was like an ugly duckling and a white swan.
Fu Jing picked up a potato chip and took a bite, then looked up at Yang Chaoyue across from her.
Seeing her licking her lips while watching her eat, she felt a little funny.
"I still have some in my closet, would you like a bucket?"
"How can I be so embarrassed, and I can't eat spicy food."
"It's okay, I have other flavors, and non-spicy ones too." Fu Jing got up and took out another bucket from her closet and handed it to Yang Chaoyue.
"Thank you." Yang Chaoyue happily took it and prepared to pour water and heat it according to the operating steps.
After a while, the two of them sat on both sides of the small table in the dormitory and started eating.
"If you two don't want to go to the cafeteria, then we'll leave." The other two roommates who had returned to the dormitory to pack up saw that Fu Jing and Yang Chaoyue were eating happily, and said hello and went out.
The production team of [Produce 101] arranged four girls to live in one dormitory. Although it is easy for girls to have all kinds of conflicts when they are together, Yang Chaoyue felt that the other three people in her dormitory were easy to get along with after joining the group.
Although everyone is very young, they all know that this is a job, not a school, and the time is not long, only three months at most, so they can tolerate each other, and there are very few big girls with tempers and a lot of things.
Just like Fu Jing, who is sitting opposite her now, Yang Chaoyue knows that she is also working before going to college, has been a dance teacher, and has formed a girl group. She is also three years older than her.
This time, she was recommended by the agency behind [Banana Entertainment].
When Yang Chaoyue introduced herself to her roommates, she was careful and said that she was an artist of [Wajijiwa], and did not mention her previous experience with Gu Wei.
But even so, she was envied by many people. In the eyes of these recommended girl group trainees, [Wajijiwa] is definitely a big agency.
Currently, the companies that are running boy and girl idol groups are basically small companies, and the truly powerful companies don’t look down on these.
And [Wajijiwa] is one of the producers of [Produce 101]. It is hard to guarantee that they will not be treated preferentially in the future competitions.
After a while, the two of them finished their hot pot. When they were packing up, Fu Jing glanced at her phone.
"It's almost time. I almost forgot about the important things."
After saying that, she took out her pad and opened the Tengxun video.
Yang Chaoyue was not surprised at all.
She knew that Fu Jing was a fan of her boss. Recently, she had been following the popular idol drama [Go Go Squid!]. She would watch the drama every night as long as she had time.
Yang Chaoyue was also following it, but she was not as concerned as Fu Jing.
Sometimes she was too tired, so she would go to bed early and catch up when she was free.
She was also one of Gu Wei's fans, but she stopped chasing stars after she became his employee, because the idol became the boss, and you had to do this and that for him every day. It was good enough if you were not annoyed. How could you chase stars again?
However, Yang Chaoyue always felt that Gu Wei's status in her heart had actually improved since he had changed from an idol to a boss.
Because you have to spend money on idols, and the boss can give you money.
After cleaning up his leftovers, Yang Chaoyue also came to Fu Jing. The other party didn't care, took off the headphones, and turned the sound to loud.
"Today is the finale. Have you watched all the previous ones?"
"I have watched them all. In the last episode, the K&K team won the Asia-Pacific championship, and Han Shangyan proposed to Tong Nian."
[Go Go Squid!] has a total of 41 episodes, two episodes per day from Monday to Friday, and one episode per day on Sunday and Saturday. Today is the last episode of the finale.
40 minutes passed quickly. During this period, the other two roommates Lu Xiaocao and Wang Ju also came back from dinner. The two also came to Fu Jing and watched the TV series together.
[Go Go Squid!] is too popular and is very popular among young girls. Everyone is basically following it, but usually they watch their own shows.
In the pad, Han Shangyan and Tong Nian got their marriage certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau, took a bus to the airport, and took the K&K team on a journey to compete for the century championship. The ending song sounded and the letters appeared on the screen.
"It's done now. It would be great if we could shoot another 20 or 30 episodes."
"Yes, I really want to see Han Shangyan and Tong Nian get married. Why don't we shoot their wedding?"
"."
In the dormitory, the four girls were still discussing the plot of the finale, chattering like hundreds of ducks.
"Okay, everyone should go to bed early. We have to get up early to practice dancing tomorrow!" In the end, it was Fu Jing, the dormitory head, who spoke up. She was the oldest among the few people and was elected as the dormitory head. She was also more prestigious.
"I will definitely have insomnia tonight."
"I might dream about Gu Wei. Han Shangyan is so handsome."
"."
After Fu Jing finished speaking, Lu Xiaocao and Wang Ju returned to their beds muttering.
Yang Chaoyue also lay down.
Unlike others, she was thinking about whether to send a WeChat greeting to her boss. She hadn't contacted Gu Wei much in the past month.
I was mainly afraid that I would annoy my boss if I kept contacting him, but I was afraid that the relationship would become distant if I didn't contact him. I was very conflicted.
Just thinking about it, I sat up and took out my phone, clicked on WeChat, and the first one on the top was Gu Wei, with the WeChat note "Parents who provide food and clothing".
After clicking in, I typed a line of greetings, thought about it and deleted it, then typed some more words, felt it was wrong, and deleted it again.
"Are you sending a message to your boyfriend?" Fu Jing, who was passing by, looked at Yang Chaoyue who was struggling with his phone with a tangled face, and asked curiously.
"Ah? No, no
How can I have a boyfriend?" Yang Chaoyue hurriedly denied it after hearing it, and hesitated for a while.
"I was sending a message to my family to talk about our recording of the show and complain about the hard work."
Fu Jing didn't care.
"I'll give you a piece of advice. Whether you have it or not, you must say no in front of the camera. We are a girl group. How can idols fall in love?"
"I really don't have it."
Fu Jing shook her head and turned to the bathroom to wash up.
Yang Chaoyue sat on her small bed, hesitated for a long time, and finally typed two words on WeChat.
"Are you there?"
She regretted it right after she called. How could she send this to her boss? She felt that her emotional intelligence had dropped to the bottom.
Sure enough, there was no reply for 5 minutes. Just when Yang Chaoyue thought that her boss would not reply to her and was about to wash and go to bed, a pleasant WeChat notification sounded.
"What's the matter?"
"I just watched the finale of "Dear, Beloved". The boss acted so well. Everyone in our dormitory is following it. They are all your fans." Yang Chaoyue quickly sent some flattering words.
"Didn't you say that you are very tired from training every day? How do you still have time to watch TV series?"
Gu Wei's reply made Yang Chaoyue stunned. Did she hit the horse's leg?
Think about it.
"Studying and training during the day are really tiring. There is only a little rest time at night. Several people in my dormitory use it to follow "Dear, Beloved"."
"If you work harder in daily life, you will have better performance on the stage and can go further in the future programs.
Okay, rest early if you have nothing to do."
"Okay, boss (smiley face)!"
After saying two sentences in total, Yang Chaoyue turned off the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't feel anything when she was with Gu Wei. At that time, she was just a personal assistant. As long as she did her job well, she didn't have to flatter her boss.
But now she has to rely on Gu Wei to make a living in the future if she wants to become an artist. The key is that her skills as an artist are not good enough, so she can only ask the boss to help her more.
"I don't know how to endure more hardships. Whether I show it or not, you can make me go further." Yang Chaoyue muttered softly.
"What's wrong?
Did your family say anything to you?" Fu Jing, who was wearing a mask, came out of the bathroom and looked at Yang Chaoyue on the bed. She always felt that the other party was not in the right state today.
"No, they know that I have been training hard, so they asked me to take care of my body.
I will also wash up and prepare for bed." After saying that, Yang Chaoyue jumped off the bed and walked to the bathroom.
At the same time, the backstage of Mango TV.
Director Tian got the ratings of the finale of "Dear, Beloved" from his subordinates as soon as possible.
"Director, the ratings of the finale of "Go Go Squid!" soared. Today's real-time ratings peaked at 3.26, and the average was 3.17.
It's a pity that the average ratings of this drama did not break 3, and stopped at 2.96.
But this result is definitely the highest ratings of all local satellite TV dramas in the first four months of the year!"
"Very good, I thought "Go Go Squid!" would be a hit, but I didn't expect the results to be so high.
This ratings result is better than the popular idol drama "You Are My Glory" last year!"
Director Tian looked very happy. The station spent a lot of money to buy the copyright, but now the results are so good and the profit is more, which is inseparable from his contribution.
"The current results of "Go Go Squid!" would have been the best drama of the year if it were put last year, at least in the field of idol dramas.
The "Negotiator" by Yang Mi and Huang Zitao broadcasted by our station at the beginning of the year also performed very well, but it was much worse than "Go Go Squid!"
It feels that if Yang Mi didn't cooperate with Gu Wei, her drama would hardly be a hit," said his subordinate Xiao Li.
"Hasn't our station bought Yang Mi's "Legend of Fuyao"? Let's see how it performs after it goes online.
There are so many TV series on satellite TV every year. It's not easy to bet on a hit drama. The so-called "drama king" only has two or three dramas a year.
Yang Mi has her own traffic. Even if her drama can't reach the level of "Eternal Love", it can still have the most basic guarantee."
After saying this, Director Tian thought of something.
"Regarding Gu Wei and Zhao Liying's "Do You Know It Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin", how is the communication with "Noon Sunshine" going?"
"We are still discussing. This drama is too popular. Gu Wei and Zhao Liying, everyone knows that it will definitely be a hit after it is broadcast, so the various satellite TV stations are competing fiercely for it.
It is still in the quotation stage. Noon has a better relationship with Beijing Satellite TV and Dragon Satellite TV. If we want to get it, we have to increase the quotation!"
After Xiao Li said this, he hesitated.
"Director, our station has bought a lot of popular dramas this year.
Such as [Liang Sheng, Can We Not Be Sad], [Sadness Against the Current], [Sweet Strike], [The Legend of Phoenix], [Win the World], etc.
Especially Chen Kun and Ni Ni's [The Legend of Phoenix] and Fan Bingbing's [Win the World], which cost the station a lot of money.
Last month's [The Legend of Phoenix] did not perform well, and some people in the station have already had opinions."
Xiao Li is Director Tian's confidant, and he is also considering his own leader.
"Opinions? What opinions do you have!
If it was before, it would be fine, but now [Go Go Squid!] has such a good performance, who dares to have opinions!
Other dramas are only likely to become popular even if they are optimistic, but [Do You Know] is different. Gu Wei and Zhao Liying, plus the high quality of [Noon Sunshine], this drama will definitely be a hit.
If it doesn't work, add money, I will talk to the station!"
Director Tian waved his hand, and the good performance of [Go Go Squid!] gave him great confidence.
"I understand, Director."
The finale of "Dear, Beloved" will keep many people awake tonight.
After the last episode was aired, the Internet was full of discussions about the show, and the topic discussion on Weibo soared again.
[The finale is over. The love between Tong Nian and Han Shangyan is beautiful, but I also lost a TV show that I can watch. Why not shoot a few more episodes? I really love it.
No more words, I'll watch it again from the beginning! ]
[This kind of idol drama is good, no misunderstanding, no mistress, no car accident, no amnesia, perfect! ]
[Wu Bai: In the past month, I have been poor, rich, laughed, cried, borrowed money, cheated, had my card robbed, and blocked. I have never defended myself and do not need to defend myself. Tonight, the gun god borrowed money again, the sweetness of the brother and sister-in-law, the money of the younger brother [smile]]
[The brother and sister-in-law are not destined to be together, it all depends on the younger brother to spend money! ]
[I can't bear to part with the "child-faced couple". "Dear, Beloved" is simply the ceiling of the current idol drama. Sisters, the road is long, and we'll see you in Gu Wei's next drama! 】
【To be honest, I came here for Gu Wei's fame at first, but Yang Zi's performance really surprised me. The Tong Nian she played is beautiful and cute, which completely subverted the image of "Xiao Xue" in my mind. I look forward to her next work! 】
【Wow, I've finished watching the TV series. It seems that I need a boyfriend like Han Shangyan, who is handsome and capable, and can mop the floor, wash dishes, cook, move things, and do all the housework without letting girls get tired.
Where can I find a boyfriend like this? 】
【Go to sleep, everything is in your dreams】
【.】
On the day of the finale, the number of views on Tengxun Video exceeded 300 million, and the number of views on the entire network of [Dear, Beloved] also successfully exceeded 10 billion, becoming the first TV series in 2018 to exceed 10 billion views on the entire network.
The number of readings of Weibo topics exceeded 30 billion, setting a record in history, no one else!
The Baidu Index, which reflects the popularity of keywords and user attention, has the highest value of 913,600 for [Dear, Beloved], 919,900 for Gu Wei, and 333,600 for Yang Zi.
Although Yang Zi is quite different from Gu Wei, she has already ranked second among celebrities in the Baidu Index during the period when [Dear, Beloved] was popular. It can only be said that Gu Wei and the TV series itself are too popular.
On another online broadcasting platform, iQiyi, [Dear, Beloved] topped the list with a monthly index of 3.19 billion, far exceeding the second popular variety show [Running Man] with 80 million and the third animation [One Piece] with 70 million.
It can be said to be a phenomenal explosion!
