Chapter 9 Passed?
While Xu Qing was struggling, Lisa was also struggling.
In the interview room at this moment, the interview has been suspended. It is announced that it is time to eat, and the judges need to take a lunch break and start the interview again in the afternoon.
The actual situation is that the judges in the room are watching the video with the chief director Lisa.
There was a large-screen TV in front of them, and the video of Sixi Wanzi's performance was playing on it.
"What do you think?" Lisa asked casually after watching the performance video.
"It sucks." The male judge wearing sunglasses said mercilessly.
"The performance is indeed a bit unprofessional." Another teacher said it more euphemistically.
"Among the teams interviewed this time, they are at the bottom, but they are not the worst. There are others who are even more exaggerated than them." Another teacher said.
"There is no difference in my eyes between the worst and the worst." The judge wearing sunglasses sneered at this statement.
"Play it again." Lisa did not answer their words, but asked the staff to play it again.
As soon as these words came out, the judge wearing sunglasses frowned, and he said in confusion: "Director, is it necessary to watch this kind of thing again?"
When the staff heard this, they did not stop replaying it. The chief director is the boss. After the boss has spoken, do they need to listen to this judge?
The video starts playing again.
"I plant a seed,
Finally the fruit grew,
Today is a great day…”
As the video played, Lisa felt like something was being pierced in her mind. Her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she gradually started to understand something interesting while watching the video.
Then she said to the staff: "Okay, that's all."
The staff immediately pressed pause and waited for further instructions from Lisa.
Lisa asked the question she just asked again: "What do you think?"
After asking this question for the second time, several judges began to react, thinking that the chief director might have other ideas.
Before anyone else could say anything, the judge wearing sunglasses immediately repeated his previous answer: "It sucks."
"What else?" Lisa seemed not satisfied with this answer.
“Very bad.”
"What about other than that?"
Lisa's continued questioning made the judge wearing sunglasses a little confused. He looked at Lisa through his sunglasses and said, "Director, please forgive me for my blindness, but I can't see anything other than bad."
"Putting aside your status as judges, if you were an audience and saw the performances of these four people on our show, how would you react?"
"What's the reaction?" Dai Sunglasses mused, "Maybe I think there's something wrong with the selection mechanism of this show. If such bad people are selected, their show looks like a joke."
As soon as these words came out, Lisa laughed directly, and then said to everyone: "Joke? Yes, yes, that's the effect we want."
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't you think that a joke on the show will arouse the audience's desire to discuss it?"
"Director, we are ready to discuss, but the content of the discussion will only tarnish the reputation of our judging team and make the audience question the fairness and professionalism of our judging team." said the judge wearing glasses.
"Does the audience know who the judges are?
Everyone, you are only doing interviews during the selection. We are the founding group 101, not Invincible Girls. We do not need the judges to make any comments on the show. At that time, the role of celebrity mentors will only be reflected in the division of classes in the preliminary stage. Who will be in the later stage?
The audience determines who stays." Lisa suddenly realized that what Xu Qing said was right. The judges under her were still stuck in the ancient talent show thinking.
"Director, I think that although the performance of Sixi Wanzi is not professional, it is not lacking in characteristics, and it is still different from pure crap." There are many discerning people in this world, and Lisa has said this, and
It makes no sense for her to play devil's advocate, so it's better to take the initiative to find some steps for Lisa.
"Yes, distinctiveness. The trainees we want must be of high standard, but they must also be distinctive." Lisa agreed very much with this statement.
"Lack of skill is a feature like a joke? Do we need this feature? What we need is a high level of competition." The judge wearing sunglasses refuted this view, "Director, I don't agree with this view, it will screw us up.
program."
"Our domestic trainee mechanism is not mature, and we don't have that many high-level trainees. You have to understand this." Lisa almost copied the exact words Xu Qing told her to the judge wearing sunglasses.
"If there are not so many high-level trainees, we will reduce the number of trainees. Even if we choose 30 people to participate in the show, it is better than just recruiting people like this."
"Our show is called Founding Group 101. Do you need me to explain to you what 101 means?" Lisa looked at the judge wearing sunglasses, her tone already very dissatisfied.
"Then extend the time for selecting trainees. As time goes by, you can always select the best ones."
"It's been half a year since we established the project. How much time do you think the company can give you?"
"Director, you can't produce an excellent program with this kind of thinking. People like this can't make any contribution, they can only lower the quality of the program." The judge wearing sunglasses is still stubborn.
He dared to speak like this only because Lisa repeatedly emphasized when the program team was established that everyone should be brave enough to express their opinions. As the chief director, she will definitely uphold the concept of listening and understanding, so that everyone should not dare to speak due to her identity.
In fact, Lisa has been doing this since the establishment of the show, which gave the judge the courage to refute it.
"What if they can increase discussion about the show?"
"Those are all negative discussions. Why do we need those discussions? We want to be the best women's group in the country. What we want is positive reviews, completely positive reviews."
"Is it possible? A completely positive review?"
"How can it be impossible? As long as our players are high enough and sophisticated enough."
When Lisa heard this, she no longer wanted to communicate. She suddenly felt that this judge was indeed out of step with the times.
So she said to the other judges: "Everyone, what era are we in now? It is no longer the era of TV talent shows. If our program wants to be successful, it needs to have a lot of discussion and traffic, so that our sponsors can
Seeing the value of the program, we can attract more advertisers in the future and have more funds to produce bigger programs.
So as long as the 11 people we selected in the end are relatively good, it is enough. As for the other participating trainees, what we need is characteristics and topicality, so that we can increase our broadcast volume.
I hope that when you observe the trainees, don't just look at the singing and dancing skills. The level is indeed very important. Under the existing conditions, we will try our best to select better trainees to participate in the show.
However, in addition to this, we need to ensure that there is enough interesting content to output when the program starts.
What the audience wants to see is a variety of programs, not a dry competition, do you understand what I am saying."
After saying these words, Lisa did not wait for anyone to answer, but took another look at the judge wearing sunglasses and slowly left the interview room.
As soon as she left the room, Lisa immediately said to the staff next to her: "Put Sixi Wanzi into the final program list and notify their agency by the way."
·······
"Passed? Didn't we get brushed off during the interview?"
In the office of Xingtang Culture, the originally depressing atmosphere was broken by the news brought by Xu Qing.
Yang Tutu began to scream.
What followed was Ye Sitang's words: "The judge clearly said that we couldn't pass with him, but now we passed."
Hu Xin and Qi Xi did not speak at the side, but their joy could still be seen from their expressions. This was a kind of happiness that was lost and found.
Xu Qing just wanted to say a few words, but the operations girl rushed to answer: "Didn't Brother Qing say it when he was in Tengyu? The judges' words don't count, the chief director's words matter."
"So Brother Qing directly approached the chief director and succeeded through the back door?" Yang Tutu reacted immediately.
"Brother Qing is awesome." Hu Xin finally said at this time.
Qi Xi silently gave a thumbs up from the side.
Ye Sitang followed up and said: "Brother Qing is really amazing, he can even get through the back door of the chief director."
As soon as these words came out, others had no reaction, but Xu Qing heard something was wrong, so he glared at Ye Sitang and then said to everyone: "Now that we have confirmed that we can participate in the show, there are some things we still need to share with everyone.
Let me explain carefully, this is our company’s first artist positioning analysis meeting.”
