Chapter 940 1040. Talent Assessment
This winter in Kyoto, there is a lot of snow. Nie Wei had been sitting in the study for less than half an hour when the window was filled with fine snowflakes.
Ding Dong, an email notification sound interrupted Nie Wei who was reading the company report. Seeing the note of the email, Nie Wei put down the report he had just read halfway and opened the email instead.
The email was sent by Luo Kai, and the content of the email was about Zhou Duoduo's performance in the practice room tonight.
Although Nie Wei and Zhou Duoduo clearly said that he would not care about her after sending her to the practice room, he is a brother after all, how could he not pay attention to his sister at all?
In fact, Nie Wei had already instructed Luo Kai to make an evaluation report of Zhou Duoduo's performance on the first night and send it to him in time. In addition, Zhou Duoduo's assessment results and performance of the week should also be reviewed by Nie Wei every week. Nie Wei would not disturb Zhou Duoduo's practice, but he would grasp Zhou Duoduo's progress as soon as possible to see if she is really suitable for this line of work.
Because of the urgent time, the report was obviously done in a hurry. Fortunately, the teachers who wrote the report were experienced and could summarize the student's temporary ability and quality in just a hundred words.
This report mainly evaluated three aspects.
The first is naturally appearance and physical condition, which is also the most basic quality of an idol.
"Zhou Duoduo has a delicate appearance and meets the idol standard. Her eyes are bright and the most distinctive. She is 165CM tall and has a good proportion."
Zhou Duoduo's appearance is good, otherwise if she looks ordinary, Nie Wei would not agree to let her be an idol.
However, although Zhou Duoduo looks good, that is relative to ordinary people. In the circle of beauties, it is nothing. She does not have the beauty of Lin Yifei and Zhang Ziyi who can capture people's hearts with their beauty as soon as they debut. In Nie Wei's opinion, Zhou Duoduo's biggest characteristic is actually her temperament.
Because of her family environment, Zhou Duoduo always has an elegant temperament. In addition to her academic achievements, her confidence and bookishness also add a lot of points to her as a whole person.
However, this girl is probably still in a nervous period now. She looks like a little quail, and her temperament is definitely not prominent. After a while, she adapts to the environment and gradually reveals her true self. These characteristics will naturally be discovered by the group of teachers.
Next is the evaluation of the talent part.
For example, in terms of vocal music, Zhou Duoduo's evaluation is very average, but the dance teacher gave Zhou Duoduo a high evaluation.
"Zhou Duoduo's vocal talent is average, her range is not wide, and her voice is not distinctive, but her sense of rhythm is good, which may be related to her learning many musical instruments. It is difficult for her to be the lead singer with her talent, and she has no RAP foundation. It is recommended to practice from the basics. Breath and pitch need to be further honed."
Nie Wei has not heard Zhou Duoduo sing much, that is, he and Shu Chang took her to KTV a few times. Zhou Duoduo's singing talent is indeed not very good in Nie Wei's opinion.
She is not tone-deaf, but her voice is ordinary. In addition, she has not received professional training and her breath is unstable, so her singing is naturally mediocre. However, Nie Wei has heard Zhou Duoduo's piano. She also performed at the elementary school graduation party. She is at the eighth-level amateur level. Although she is not very professional, she is a good talent among trainees.
In addition to the piano, Zhou Duoduo also plays the violin well and even plays a little guitar. These are obviously plus points for Zhou Duoduo.
Zhou Duoduo's evaluation in dance is the highest among the three aspects.
The dance teacher believes that although Zhou Duoduo has not studied dance professionally for a long time, she has not lost her basics, and she is very talented in dance memory and comprehension. She is a rare dance genius and has the potential to be the lead dancer.
After reading a report, Nie Wei rubbed his eyebrows, and his ears suddenly moved. He heard footsteps coming from the door. A few seconds later, Shu Chang walked in with two cups of coffee.
"How is Duoduo? Didn't you ask the teachers on your first day in the practice room?" Shu Chang handed Nie Wei a cup of coffee, then sat opposite him and asked with concern.
Shu Chang liked this only sister-in-law very much.
Since she and Nie Wei were not together, Zhou Duoduo firmly supported her and Nie Wei's love, and helped a lot, acting as her little intelligence agent and helping Shu Chang a lot. Shu Chang really felt the kindness.
"Aren't you reading the report?" Nie Wei turned the laptop to Shu Chang and said with a smile: "See what the teachers say about her."
A few minutes later, Shu Chang moved his eyes away from the screen.
"I think Duoduo's singing is OK. Is this teacher biased again?"
"She's just at the level of a KTV microphone queen." Nie Wei explained: "Being a singer is not just about being able to sing the right tune. The main thing is to have characteristics. Duoduo has no talent in this area, and the teacher dare not write it randomly. I asked Brother Luo Kai to send Duoduo. Although it was not marked that she was my sister, no one dared to play tricks on her evaluation report for Luo Kai's sake."
"Then let Duoduo concentrate on practicing dance. Didn't this dance teacher say that Duoduo is a dance genius? Should we hire a powerful teacher to give Duoduo extra lessons or something?"
"The company's teachers are very powerful."
"But no matter how powerful he is, he is still teaching a group of people. There will always be times when he can't take care of Duoduo. Wouldn't it be more effective to find a teacher to tutor her alone?" Shu Chang questioned.
In her opinion, one-on-one teaching must be better, just like taking a graded class. Parents always hope that their children can be assigned to a class with a strong teacher and a small number of people in the class.
After all, teachers are also human beings, and they have limited energy.
"Her schedule is very full, and there is no time for her to hire a teacher to teach her privately."
"Isn't there a holiday? I can take a day off..."
"Shu Chang!" Nie Wei frowned slightly and interrupted Shu Chang's words.
Seeing Shu Chang's surprised look, Nie Weinai calmed down and explained: "Duoduo is joining an idol group. What she needs is a collective life. Even if she debuts in the future, she must serve the group first and then herself. Let's not add any unnecessary fuss. , making her too special among trainees is not good for her.”
"And don't you think that environment itself is also a kind of training?"
"No one will let her go. If she can't keep up with the course, the teacher won't teach her a second time. She has to fight for everything by herself, so that she will feel valuable when she gets everything. ”
"The young eagle must learn to fly on its own. Sometimes we should try to learn to let go and let her learn to grow on her own. I think this time is a good opportunity for her to grow up."
As for the path Zhou Duoduo has chosen, Nie Wei has made up her mind not to let anyone help her, not even Shu Chang. She will give her a hand at this moment, and then she will make her debut and fall down. Does she need someone else to help her walk in?
Moreover, the pressure in the entertainment industry is very high. In the future, Zhou Duoduo will be exposed as her sister, and she will definitely become the subject of a lot of media attention. If the pressure is unbearable now, it would be better to be an ordinary person.
Shu Chang nodded silently, although she still felt sorry for Zhou Duoduo and wanted to help her, but seeing Nie Wei's determined attitude, Shu Chang also knew that it was not good for her to say anything more.
Zhou Duoduo, the focus of their discussion, had already arrived at her new dormitory.
Li Fu arranged a double room for her, but her roommate was not the enthusiastic Mu Han that he longed for, but a girl named Huang Ting, who I heard was from Class B.
"Hello, my name is Huang Ting." The girl's eyes immediately lit up as soon as she entered the room. When introducing herself to Zhou Duoduo, her eyes did not forget to look at the new dormitory.
"Wow, this dormitory is great."
"There is even a dressing table, my God, and a separate bathroom..."
"There is also a small sofa. By the way, what's your name? You haven't introduced it to me yet." Huang Ting was so excited that she walked around the room several times before she remembered to ask Zhou Duoduo's name.
If there were special effects, Zhou Duoduo would definitely have a black line hanging down from one end at this moment.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Duoduo, I am a new trainee." Zhou Duoduo smiled and briefly introduced herself, and then asked curiously: "Was your previous dormitory very bad?"
"It can't be said that it's bad." Huang Ting sat on the only single sofa in the room and explained: "I lived in a four-person room before, and we all used public bathrooms and public toilets. I didn't want this to be a two-person room. , and it’s at least 50% larger than our four-person room.”
"Let me tell you, I heard that only people from Class A can live in this kind of dormitory. I didn't expect us to be so lucky." Huang Ting patted the sofa with a smile and sighed with happiness on her face.
Zhou Duoduo looked surprised at this moment. She didn't expect that the dormitory she was living in was in such good condition in the eyes of others.
"Are you a new trainee? How old are you this year? I was born in 1992 and I am exactly eighteen years old this year. What about you?" After Huang Ting got over her excitement, she began to take the initiative to chat with Zhou Duoduo.
"I'm sixteen years old. I was born in 1994."
"Then I'm older than you, so you can just call me Sister Tingting from now on." Huang Ting smiled happily at the addition of such a younger sister.
"Then which class are you in? By the way, you just came to the practice room. You must be in Class F. It doesn't matter. Work hard and try to skip the next monthly exam. I also stayed in Class F for half a month. , just promoted to Class C."
"Let me tell you, in our company, Class F is actually not the one with the most people. The most people are in Class D, which has a total of thirty-nine people. The least people are Class A. The seniors of Shining Girls and T.N.T have debuted before. With another person quitting, there are now only nine people in Class A.”
"I also tell you, if you can enter Class B or above, there will be debut artists giving us lessons every month. I have met Teacher Zhang Liangying and listened to a trainee who has been practicing for more than a year. , She also met Senior Nie Wei, ah ah ah ah, why didn’t I come to the company a month earlier? If I had come earlier, I might have met Senior Nie Wei. "
"By the way, are you also a fan of senior Nie Wei? Most of our trainees are fans of senior Nie Wei."
Zhou Duoduo almost laughed out loud when she saw Huang Ting's excitement when she talked about Nie Wei. If you want to see the Nie Wei that you can't see, I can indeed see her anytime I want.
Of course, seeing such a girl who admired her brother, Zhou Duoduo also had a great impression of her.
The two chatted until 10:30 in the evening, until they couldn't stand it any longer, and they both fell asleep. This was the first time Zhou Duoduo lived in a strange bed since she lived in a courtyard when she was a child, but she didn't know if there was any An enthusiastic roommate still thought that this was Nie Wei's company, or that he was really tired. Anyway, Zhou Duoduo slept very peacefully and was not woken up until four o'clock the next morning.
"Four o'clock? Only four o'clock?" Zhou Duoduo looked at the clock on the wall, looked at Huang Ting who was already dressed in disbelief, and asked in disbelief: "Sister Tingting, did you read the wrong watch?"
"No, don't stay in bed, get up quickly, we have to rush to the company for morning exercises before 4:30." Huang Ting pulled Zhou Duoduo up and pushed her into the bathroom.
A sigh came from the bathroom, and Zhou Duoduo finally began to feel the difficulty of being a trainee, at least this early wake-up made her very uncomfortable...
Zhou Duoduo got up early and went to bed late every day for study, and Nie Wei was also busy for work.
There were many problems in the post-production of "Inception" that needed his help. After all, the high level of special effects is one aspect, but it still has to fit the director's ideas. Nie Wei sometimes sat in the special effects company for most of the day, and the highest number of modifications to a special effects shot was as high as fifty times.
In the middle, Nie Wei also attended Feng's new movie with Shu Chang. Unfortunately, this "If You Are the One" can be said to be a work in which Feng's directorial style returns to its original intention.
Although the whole film is full of funny dialogues, it is actually full of some negative satires on the real society.
In short, it returns to the self-deprecating and sarcastic feeling of Feng's humor. After watching the whole movie, Nie Wei's first feeling is that the box office of this movie is definitely inevitable.
After finishing the premiere of Director Feng's movie, Nie Wei did not have time to spare, but took the opportunity to participate in the recording of the new episode of "Longing for Life" before the Huayi Family Concert started.
And this time, Zhang Ziyi also accompanied Nie Wei, and this lady was also going to record this program for the second time.
For the two of them, this program may be the one they want to participate in the most.
Rather than saying it is work, it is better to say that participating in this program is like going on vacation.
However, this time the two people did not go to the small village near Kyoto. The recording of the 20 episodes of the program there has been completed. Now the program team has gone to a small mountain village in Shuzhong, where they started a new longing for life.
Because Zhang Ziyi was free, she arrived at the hotel in the nearest city of the village one day earlier than Nie Wei, and Nie Wei arrived here the next day.
The same as the original program process, when the two people gathered, the first thing to do was to order the dishes a day in advance.
