Chapter 939 1039. Single-plank bridge
After Luo Kai took Zhou Duoduo to get to know the person in charge, he asked Zhou Duoduo to go out and wait outside, while he stayed to tell the person in charge some things.
"As soon as the training is over, take her to the company's trainee dormitory. You don't need to prepare a single room. It's best to have a double room or a quadruple room. There's one more thing I want to trouble you with."
"Brother Luo, just say it." Although the person in charge seemed to be at least five or six years older than Luo Kai, he was respectful at this time and called "Brother Luo" quite smoothly and naturally.
After all, Luo Kai is a super agent who has been with Nie Wei, the big boss, since he debuted. Even Nie Wei affectionately calls him Brother Luo Kai, so why should he be embarrassed?
"It's not a big deal. You also saw that the child was a little nervous just now. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to integrate into this new group, so can you arrange a warm and generous roommate for her? In this regard, what are you doing? The person in charge of the trainees must know better than me which girls are suitable." Luo Kai followed Nie Wei's instructions and explained the requirements to the person in charge.
The person in charge laughed, this is simple.
I thought that if I let myself cheat on this girl secretly, it would be a bit difficult. You must know that the trainees are assessed every week, and their strength cannot be faked. Even if I put the child in Class A, if the strength is not enough If you do, I'm afraid the questioning looks from the companions around you will be unbearable.
What's more, the company will also photograph some artists or senior executives every month to check the results. If there is a "rookie" suddenly in the senior class, then the person in charge will most likely be the end.
But just arranging a trainee to be a "guide" is not a big deal in the eyes of the person in charge.
"Brother Luo, don't worry. I promise to find an enthusiastic, generous and responsible trainee to be the roommate of the child just now." The person in charge already had a goal in mind when he said this.
This target trainee, just like the adjective used by Luo Kai, is enthusiastic and generous, very serious and responsible, and has good core abilities. He is already a trainee in Class B, so he is very suitable.
"That's it. By the way, make a special report for me every week and I'll use it." Luo Kai gave the final instruction before leaving the office with the person in charge.
Looking at Zhou Duoduo who looked nervous at the door, Luo Kai said: "Duoduo, follow this Uncle Li, he will take you to the practice room, and you will be a trainee of Huayi soon."
"And you will be living in the dormitory from now on. I will ask someone to take your luggage to the dormitory tomorrow."
"Call me if you need anything."
After Luo Kai gave a few instructions, he smiled and made a cheering gesture towards Zhou Duoduo, then glanced at the person in charge, said goodbye, and left the annex building.
Looking at the background where Luo Kai disappeared, Zhou Duoduo was in this strange environment, and her inner nervousness and fear amplified a lot.
"Let's go. We'll put you in Class F for the time being. The assessment period will be in three days. Then we will reclassify you based on your performance." The person in charge said while leading Zhou Duoduo towards the practice room. .
Although Zhou Duoduo was brought here by Luo Kai, it is impossible for the practice room to hold a special test for a prospective trainee with great fanfare. Therefore, Zhou Duoduo must follow the weekly assessment of all trainees before he can Decide which class to go to.
Zhou Duoduo was relieved when he heard the news. There were at least three days left, which was better than the exam coming soon.
"By the way, how was your cultural class?" the person in charge suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this question, a confident expression appeared on Zhou Duoduo's face and she replied: "Top ten in grade."
"Hey, which high school?" The person in charge looked at Zhou Duoduo in surprise. He didn't expect this little girl to study so well. When he heard Zhou Duoduo's answer was 'Huaqing Affiliated High School', he was even more surprised. The eyes widened.
Of course he knew that it was a key high school in the city. It was full of top students. He didn't expect that the little girl in front of him could get into the top ten of her grade in a high school where top students gathered. Wouldn't her future be in Kyoto? , a seedling from Huaqing University.
For a moment, the person in charge wanted to pull Zhou Duoduo and ask, girl, why do you want to be a trainee? Isn't it much more promising to get into college than this?
As the person in charge of the company's trainees, he knows best how narrow the future of these children is.
There are hundreds of trainees, and it takes two years for more than ten to debut, and this is the shortest cycle. Sometimes, depending on the market, it may take three or four years for the company to form a new group.
And what about the remaining trainees?
The company will not support these trainees for a lifetime. In fact, there is a stipulation in the trainee contract that if a trainee cannot debut before the age of twenty-five, even if he is a member of Class A, the company will not allow him to continue training. gave birth.
If you have good abilities and qualities, you can stay in the company as a dance teacher or vocal teacher. If you don't have good qualities, you can only leave the company.
Although the person in charge does not think that any trainee can persist until the age of twenty-five, this industry is really like walking on a single-plank bridge. There is basically no turning back. You must know that practice will take up a lot of time, so the culture of most trainees In fact, their grades are not very good. Even if they give up practicing and want to go back to school, they will have to work much harder to get good grades than ordinary students.
The person in charge wanted to speak several times, but he finally held back. After all, Zhou Duoduo was sent by Luo Kai. Luo Kai didn't say anything, so he naturally couldn't persuade her.
However, he didn't approve of Zhou Duoduo's choice in his heart.
He thought that if his daughter had such good grades as Zhou Duoduo and wanted to be a trainee, he would definitely kick her with his size 45 big feet, even if he couldn't bear it. If the kick didn't clear her up, he would continue to kick her until she woke up.
Looking at the stars, they are glamorous, but that is only the top of the pyramid in this industry, and the artists at the bottom may not live as well as ordinary office workers.
Retracting his thoughts and looking at the girl next to him, the person in charge thought for a while and suggested: "Zhou Duoduo, if you want to be a trainee, I suggest you go back and write a report and apply for transfer to the company."
"Transfer? Why?" Zhou Duoduo was stunned. She didn't expect that she would have to transfer to be a trainee.
"It's not mandatory, but I know that your key high school has very tight courses and high study pressure. If you transfer to an art high school, the courses will be relatively easier. Now 80% of our company's trainees have transferred to art high schools."
"If you transfer, it will also help you integrate into the group. After all, many students in art high schools are your fellow trainees."
"Another point is that the company has a shuttle bus for art students, but it only goes back and forth between art high schools and the company. The high school you are attending now is not on this route, and the shuttle bus cannot change its route just because you are alone, so it may not be able to take care of you. In this way, the cost of your journey from school to the company is an additional expense..."
"It's okay, teacher. Someone in my family will pick me up, and the condition for me to be a trainee is to maintain my academic performance. My family will not agree to transfer schools." Zhou Duoduo knew that the person in charge was making a kind suggestion, but she still refused without hesitation.
"Okay then." Seeing this, the person in charge did not persuade her any more. Anyway, it was still not too late to apply again if it really didn't work out. With Zhou Duoduo's top ten grades in Huaqing, the principal would have to personally come out to warmly welcome her to the Art High School.
The person in charge quickly brought Zhou Duoduo to Class F, where a vocal lesson was being taken. About twenty girls gathered around a female teacher. When the teacher played a note, the girls sang along.
The person in charge knocked on the door and interrupted the class.
"Hello, Director Li."
"Hello, Director Li."
The person in charge's surname was Li, Li Fu. He was the person in charge of the practice room in the company, but more people here were willing to call him Director, which seemed more respectful.
Li Fu nodded, as a response to everyone's greeting, and then motioned Zhou Duoduo behind him to come over. Looking at Zhou Duoduo carrying a schoolbag, more than twenty girls looked at her curiously.
"This is a new trainee in the company. She will practice with your class F for the time being. Zhou Duoduo, please introduce yourself first."
At Li Fu's signal, Zhou Duoduo faced the gazes of more than 20 people and made a simple self-introduction.
"My name is Zhou Duoduo, a local from Kyoto, sixteen years old this year, and I hope to get along well with everyone in the future and make progress together."
When Zhou Duoduo introduced herself, there was a sparse applause at the scene, which made Zhou Duoduo a little embarrassed, and she felt that everyone did not seem to welcome her very much.
"Teacher Huang, come out for a moment, I have something to say to you." Li Fu took Teacher Huang out of the F class practice room and deliberately closed the door. As the door was closed, the originally quiet practice room immediately became noisy again. Everyone was chattering, and only Zhou Duoduo stood in the crowd, but she seemed to be isolated by everyone.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Duoduo." Zhou Duoduo tried to get close to a girl with twin ponytails next to her, but after saying hello, the other party just glanced at her and replied hello, and then there was no follow-up, and she didn't even introduce her name to Zhou Duoduo.
Having hit a soft and hard nail, Zhou Duoduo was a little afraid to take the initiative to say hello again, fearing that she would be embarrassed again.
Fortunately, at this time, another girl with short hair finally came to Zhou Duoduo with her friends. She first looked at Zhou Duoduo curiously, and then took the initiative to extend her hand and introduced: "My name is Mu Han, what about you?"
"My name is Zhou Duoduo." Zhou Duoduo saw that someone finally took the initiative to say hello to her, and hurriedly shook the other party's hand and said.
"You are a local in Kyoto, that's great. My home is in Xigui, and I can only go home once a year. By the way, have you assigned a dormitory? Which one is it? I will go to your dormitory to play with you after class."
Mu Han's enthusiasm melted Zhou Duoduo's embarrassment, making her feel a lot more relaxed in an instant.
But before the two of them could finish two sentences, Teacher Huang came back to the classroom, and the noisy classroom suddenly became quiet with the appearance of Teacher Huang.
"You guys practice freely first, Zhou Duoduo, come with me." Teacher Huang took Zhou Duoduo to the corner of the practice room and asked, "Director Li just told me about your situation. Now I want to ask, what have you learned in vocal music and dance? Can you tell me roughly? Be realistic."
"I have learned piano and violin, and learned ballet for two years, but later I stopped learning because I thought my splayed feet were ugly, but I didn't lose my basic skills, and I have no problem bending down and splitting my legs."
"Well, I have a dance foundation and a specialization in musical instruments. What about singing?"
"I don't sing out of tune." Zhou Duoduo blushed and answered evasively.
When Teacher Huang heard this answer, she immediately laughed, because she understood why the girl answered like this, she didn't sing out of tune, but she didn't sing very well.
"It doesn't matter. After professional training, not to mention that you don't sing out of tune, even if you are tone-deaf, you will gradually find the right rhythm. It doesn't matter if you don't have talent. Being a trainee is a process of practice makes perfect. It depends on how hard you train."
"I will work hard, teacher." Zhou Duoduo promised loudly.
"No need to promise me, I only look at actions." Teacher Huang waved at Zhou Duoduo and took her back to the team.
"This classmate Zhou Duoduo will be your companion in the future. Of course, it is very likely that she will leave you in three days and go to better classes. What about you, do you want to stay where you are, or do you want to sprint towards Class A?"
"We want to sprint towards Class A." Many people responded loudly.
In Huayi, whether you are in Class F or Class CDB, it doesn't matter much, because only when you enter Class A can you have the opportunity to debut.
Zhou Duoduo was startled by the girls around her yelling at the top of their lungs. In her eyes, the upward fighting spirit in these girls' eyes was almost overflowing.
"It's no use just talking. I want to see your actual actions. Let's continue the training." Teacher Huang sat in front of the electronic piano and continued the vocal class that was interrupted at the beginning.
Half an hour later, the vocal class ended and Teacher Huang left, but everyone only rested for five minutes. Another teacher named Liu came to teach everyone how to dance.
Zhou Duoduo, who had performed mediocrely in the previous vocal class, was impressed by her performance in this dance class.
Two years of ballet gave Zhou Duoduo a good foundation in dance skills. Even if it was a difficult move, she could easily do it with the flexibility of her body. In a one-hour dance class, the teacher appreciated this new student and praised her twice in a row, which made many trainees jealous.
After all, when this teacher praised, he would always compare them with those who made slow progress.
Although it was just a dance class, Zhou Duoduo's appearance was like a catfish, making the "sardines" of Class F feel a sense of urgency.
Zhou Duoduo's performance report on the first night was sent to Nie Wei's office mailbox while she was on her way to the dormitory after class.
