Chapter 171 The Draft Director

Wen Xi saw the caller ID, which was consistent with the contact number of the chief director sent to him by the staff of "Girl Group 202".

Today, are you going to have a direct conversation with the talent show director from three years ago?
Wen Xi slid open the screen to answer: "Hello, hello."

"Hello, hello, I am Yu Jinke, the chief director of "Girl Group 202"."

There was a kind male voice on the other end of the phone, and the image of the chief director in the original owner's memory emerged in Wen Xi's mind. He was nearly 40 years old, often wearing a peaked cap, and smiling friendly in front of the camera.

"Director Yu, I haven't talked to you for a long time. How are you doing lately?"

Wen Xi's attitude was like greeting an old acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and nothing unusual could be heard.

When Director Yu on the other end of the phone heard this, his tone became even more enthusiastic: "I've been very busy recently. The recording of "Girl Group 2022" will start in a month, with trainee auditions and program staff adjustments. There’s a lot of things going on.”

"It's been three years. I didn't expect that you would turn from a trainee to the boss of an entertainment company."

Wen Xi smiled: "Isn't this thanks to Director Yu's kindness to me?"

"Without Director Yu, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Yu Jinke, who was on the other end of the phone, heard Wen Xi's words and didn't know whether he was connoting himself or thanking himself.After all, Wen Xicheng's plummeting ranking in the group night was particularly sensational.

However, he would not pick up any pots. This was the result of Long Bingying's choice back then, and he had to abide by the implicit rules when participating in the draft.

Yu Jinke also laughed: "I wonder how the trainees in Boss Wen's company are preparing?"

"Among the 100 trainees this time, you Hua Wu, oh no, Xixing Entertainment, selected four trainees through auditions."

After hearing Yu Jinke's words, the smile on Wen Xi's face disappeared.

Can she say that she has forgotten about this? To be precise, she doesn't know at all.She took over the company less than 10 days ago.

"I just took over the company and I haven't had any contact with the trainees yet."

"But I believe that gold will always shine."

After hearing what Wen Xi said, Director Yu said: "Boss Wen will be the all-around mentor of our program team. He is very confident."

Then, he stated the purpose of the call: "Before the recording of the program begins, several mentors from our "Girl Group 202" program team and major investors will have a meal together to get to know each other better."

"I wonder if Boss Wen is free next Saturday afternoon?"

This is equivalent to a meeting with colleagues. Wen Xi is definitely going to go: "Okay, you can send me the address and time via WeChat."

Wen Xi is quite curious. Apart from Chi Anna and her, the other dance teachers, vocal teachers, and flying guests have not yet been finalized. They will probably wait until the dinner to see them.

As long as the vocal teacher is not like He Na, everything will be fine!

Wen Xi and her assistant Yan Que inquired about the practice room where the four trainees who participated in the recording of "Girl Group 202" were staying, and planned to go there to see how the young seedlings in her company were doing.

Wen Xi has been studying since she came here. She doesn't know how Long Bingying treated these little sisters before. In short, the conditions should not be worse than hers, right?

Yanque said that the trainees had just finished their meeting and were rehearsing the first stage in the 307 practice room.

Full of curiosity, Wen Xi immediately got on the elevator and headed to Room 307.

Room 307 is the largest dance practice room in the company building, covering 200 square meters and very spacious.

Wen Xi quietly walked to the door of Room 307, opened the door a crack, and the four trainees inside just started rehearsing.

There was a sweet-looking girl among them who looked like the captain of the four: "Okay, let's do it again."

Wen Xi had some impression of this trainee. This girl's name was Yu Shengsheng. Her appearance was particularly memorable. She had a very superior idol-style appearance and could be the face of a girl group.

Yu Shengsheng said to another light-faced trainee: "Nian Nian, you must hold on to the high notes this time!" The trainee known as "Nian Nian" bit his lips and said reluctantly: "Okay. .”

Yu Shengsheng: "Okay, then let's prepare for the second time."

The other three people got ready, and Yu Shengsheng walked to the stereo and pressed the play button.

Wen Xi was full of expectations.

However, when the melodious and slow piano sound sounded, Wen Xi was stunned. This song seemed to be Gao Shuyi's song, a slow-tempo love song?

She remembered that the chorus part had a particularly high pitch, which was particularly suitable for showing off her singing skills and making her a blockbuster.

Why does she remember it so deeply?
Because Gao Shuyi's voice broke when he sang this song at the Double Eleven party, the staff repaired the sound on the spot and produced the electronic sound.

To actually challenge such a difficult song, it seems that the level of this group of trainees should be very high.

But is this song suitable for a girl group’s stage performance?
After the prelude, Niannian picked up the microphone and sang the first line: "I heard it will rain from my lover's eyes."

Wen Xi's eyes lit up, not bad.

However, the next trainee said directly in his white voice: "A sad melody rings in my ears."

It's like poetry recitation.

And then Wen Xi's expression became more and more sad.

Four people sang this song. It would be an exaggeration to say that four lucky passers-by were dragged into the KTV to sing a song together.

There was no sense of tacit understanding, and it didn’t feel like a complete stage at all.

Moreover, the trainees’ dancing abilities were not shown. Whenever one person sang, the other people’s dance movements were like waving singers at the bottom of a concert.

And this is a sad love song. The expressions of the four trainees seem to be trying hard to convey the mood of the song, but they are all little girls of seventeen or eighteen years old.

Maybe they joined the company before reaching high school, and their life experience is not enough for them to express the hurt feelings in the songs.

It's very funny like a child combing his hair like an adult, pretending to be mature.

It was almost time to reach the high note of the chorus. As if to complete a task, Niannian's whole body tensed up visibly, and he squeezed out the high note from his throat: "But (broken sound) I no longer love you -"

"Our love was blown away in the wind——"

Wen Xi even laughed when she heard it, and she thought of the original owner's song again.

Even if the original owner asked them to sing the song, they would probably be able to perform it better than now, because the difficulty and emotional expression are not so high.

After the song ended, the four trainees were obviously aware of their poor performance and were all dejected.

"What should I do? I have to perform on stage in a month."

"It's okay for us to be embarrassed, but now the boss is Wen Xi."

"My goddess Wen Xi has no flaws in all aspects. We won't be her only black spot."

Wen Xi listened to the trainees' conversation and suddenly felt that these girls were quite cute. At this time, she still wondered whether they would embarrass herself.

Wen Xi knocked on the door and then walked into the practice room.

She asked very puzzledly: "I have a question, that is, why did we choose this song to be displayed on the stage?"
