The appearance of the second season of "21 Heartbeats of Youth" has successfully carried on the popularity that Titrain brought to Random Entertainnt. Their two-month promotional period is coming to an end, and various schedules are in the final stages. In the coming period, the mbers may return to campus to focus on their studies.
This week's episode of "Rookie's Work Diary: Day 49" aired, covering so behind-the-scenes preparations for the trainee survival competition, as well as preparations for Titrain's next album.
Jiang Liuxing has been busy lately, so she planned to catch up on the stockpiled episodes later. However, her friend sent her a screenshot, saying they saw her on the show.
"65-year-old soul: singsing, I saw you on TV."
"Jiang Liuxing: [peeks out]"
"65-year-old soul: [image]"
"65-year-old soul: It's the new episode of Rookie's Work Diary, starting around 30 minutes in, your face appears."
"65-year-old soul: They were hesitating whether to give you a business card."
"65-year-old soul: If you get rich and famous, don't forget . I want a house."
Jiang Liuxing, who was writing a short paper, had her brain turned to mush. She read those ssages several tis without fully understanding them. Finally, she opened the webpage and grabbed a long-unopened bag of chips nearby, eating while watching.
Six girls had already chosen the departnts they wanted to intern in. Because the New Talent Departnt and A&R Departnt of Random Entertainnt were large departnts, many people chose them.
While watching the show, Jiang Liuxing also learned that such a performance required the coordination of many departnts to complete. Due to insufficient manpower, many employees from the New Talent Departnt were arranged to work overti.
Ling Cheng, from the A&R Departnt, also stayed behind to confirm the stage effects.
On the day of the performance, she was one of the staff maintaining order outside. She wore a brightly colored vest, held a large gaphone, and stood next to a girl interning in the New Talent Departnt.
"Our boss said that many trainees are found at performance venues."
"So you're out here scouting for talent?" Ling Cheng glanced back at her.
The intern from the New Talent Departnt, like a watchtower, kept scanning the square. "...I'm just looking, we don't have the authority to choose people yet."
Ling Cheng also started looking around with her. After their gazes swept across the square in sync, they stopped on a girl at the end of the queue.
"That kid has good potential."
"...How can you tell?"
In the fra, Jiang Liuxing was tilting her head, looking a bit impatient as she had been waiting for a while.
anwhile, Jiang Liuxing sitting in front of the computer watching this scene had started to curl her toes in embarrassnt.
"Don't you think she looks a bit like Jiang Producer?"
"Hmm--" Ling Cheng suddenly understood her aning. Looking carefully, there was indeed so resemblance.
The girl turned and said: "And look, she's only fifteen or sixteen but already has long arms and legs... Wait, I'll go find our boss to co take a look. Help keep an eye on her!"
Jiang Liuxing, now twenty-one years old and 160cm tall: "..."
"65-year-old soul: Did you see that part?"
"65-year-old soul: Hahahahahaha!"
"65-year-old soul: I'm dying of laughter!"
She was at the scene at that ti but didn't know about this incident. The follow-up must have been that they didn't co to find her. Jiang Liuxing fast-forwarded a few tis, skipping this part.
The scene shifted to the backstage. As fans had started to enter, the backstage was also making final preparations. Makeup artists with small bags on their backs followed the trainees, seizing the ti to touch up their makeup.
Occasionally, Korean could be heard. The person speaking was Pei Zhiping. Han Lemi wanted the makeup artist to set her makeup again, but due to the language barrier, Pei Zhiping had to act as a translator.
The bullet comnts also started to educate the passersby about Pei Zhiping's trainee journey, saying that she had trained abroad for a long ti, which is why her Korean was so good.
Switching to Xia Simiao and her group's waiting room, it was much livelier here. To keep their spirits up, they were constantly singing and dancing, encouraging each other. Even the makeup artists were influenced to move a bit with them.
"Alright, alright, I'm too old for this. If I dance anymore, I'll end up in the hospital." The makeup artists couldn't keep up with the energy level of these four beagles, so they quickly stopped and sat down to rest.
Feeling bored, Jiang Liuxing fast-forwarded again, suddenly jumping to Titrain's part.
She hugged her chips and changed to a more comfortable position. "Ah, that's better!"
The conference room was still the sa place where they had etings before. Jiang Juyou sat in her usual spot, and even Pei Luming's greedy gaze at the snacks on the table hadn't changed.
"These are the concepts for our few gas." The employee handed the iPad to Jiang Juyou, then continued, "Using the keywords proposed in the previous eting, we've created these few gas. First--"
Before she could finish, Jiang Juyou interrupted her, "Let take a look first. You sit down and rest for a bit, no need to be so nervous."
"Oh, okay." The intern squeezed her hands, then sat down on a chair to the side.
At this mont, everyone in the conference room was lowering their heads, flipping through papers, looking at the text descriptions. Jiang Juyou held the iPad, watching a few animated demonstrations, her brows furrowed, her expression not good.
"So it's just a princess rescuing a prince, nothing else?"
"You ntioned setting up levels, controlling progress, but I don't see any of that. The ga doesn't have much difficulty either. The only attractive reward is the mini cards, but is that really appealing?"
After saying this, she put down the iPad. "What should we do, start over from scratch?"
Jiang Juyou didn't bla the employee, nor did she pursue the person in charge who had nodded and agreed to this project.
In those few seconds of her silence, the air in the conference room seed to freeze along with her. Pei Luming, sitting in the corner, didn't even dare to breathe heavily, afraid of being singled out.
During those few seconds of silence, Jiang Juyou was actually asking the system, "Can you handle this?"
"Yes, but only you can create it," Cong Lixia answered.
Jiang Juyou: "..."
"aning I have to pull all-nighters again, huh." She sighed.
With this sigh, everyone in the conference room couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. However, at this mont, Jiang Juyou stood up. She straightened her clothes, then said, "Alright, take a break for the next few days. We'll continue discussing when you've adjusted your state in a few days."
This ant that she would have to create the ga for promoting the new album in these few days. Thinking of this, Jiang Juyou sighed again, "It's about ti to get off work, go pack up your things."
She put away her phone, and her small assistant thoughtfully opened the door for her. Jiang Juyou took her things and walked out, leaving behind a group of devastated employees.
The person in charge of this project now wore an expression of utter despair. An employee next to him looked around and asked, "This break... does it an we can still co to work?"
"Packing up things ans... packing our own bags?"
"...Probably."
"Suffocating along with you."
"Indeed, just this ga alone isn't very attractive, but it's different with the mini cards added! I want it!"
"People who don't like playing gas probably won't download this."
"This can only target our own fans, not the broader fan community. It's understandable if it gets passed over, after all, last ti we talked about a ga targeting the broader fan community."
Jiang Juyou, who had left the conference room, didn't go ho. Instead, she took her things to another conference room where employees were having a eting to confirm procedures. They were startled when she appeared.
Jiang Juyou knocked and opened the door, asking, "Is everything confird?" She just stood at the door, not entering.
"Uh... everything's confird, we were planning to go to the site to check in a bit." Jiang Juyou's sudden question caught them off guard, but soone quickly answered.
Jiang Juyou at the door nodded, "Then let's go together."
Their riddle-like conversation left people watching confused. Just as Jiang Liuxing was about to skip this part, the show itself jumped ahead.
Seeing the backstage scene of the Galaxy Venue, Jiang Liuxing had a rough guess -- it was the pop-up store that would be set up after each performance.
"Hmm... Actually, pop-up stores are getting a bit tireso now," Jiang Liuxing comnted on her sister's company's planning.
The n's program side had done too many pop-up stores, and everyone was already tired of them. Although fans still had a buy-buy-buy attitude towards photocards, because there were always so many people on-site, everyone would end up finding proxy buyers to help them purchase items.
Jiang Liuxing was about to shake her head and criticize their lack of originality when suddenly the scene changed, and a completely unfamiliar layout appeared.
Devices that looked like oxygen chambers were neatly arranged together. She had actually seen this scene before; the shock of seeing a room full of card-drawing machines had left a similar impression.
Dozens of "oxygen chambers" were isolated in another area, while other places were more normal, with card-drawing machines, areas for fans to apply or touch up makeup, and even changing rooms.
But there were too many of these areas. As the cara panned across, she saw about dozens of makeup stations and even dozens of changing rooms.
"...?"
"Are they going to play a dress-up ga?"
"It can't be what I'm thinking, can it?"
"Ah... The announcent for the random entertainnt activity is out."
Jiang Juyou followed the project manager to the nearest makeup station. There were no costics on it, but there were plenty of makeup tools. Instead of being a place for viewing, the venue seed more like a convenient spot for fans to take photos and check in.
Various shades of pink filled the entire venue. At a glance, it was like falling into a sea of love. A huge pink neon sign hung in the air, reading [Daffodil].
Jiang Juyou, inside the venue, took a tour around and nodded with satisfaction. Then she turned to the staff behind her, "I rember there's a rather interesting activity this ti, right?"
"Yes, this ti if fans make purchases above a certain amount, they can create special photocards with their own images. We've opened up photocard authorization this ti, so so unique card types can also be produced," the staff mber said, intending to lead Jiang Juyou to the photocard-making machine.
At this point, the danmu (live comnts) started to get excited:
Aliali: 67358283d72ede93494505db"Is it what I think it ans?"
"Ahhhhhhh! Can I have my own mochi photocard now?"
"Oh my god! I really... You, Random Entertainnt! Damn! I'm destined to be your cash cow for life!"
"Nothing to say, sisters. See you tomorrow!"
"I'll conquer Galaxy!"
"I can make your machines smoke!!!"
Jiang Liuxing: Jiang Juyou, you really know how to capture a woman's heart!
