Chapter 23: Photogenic Gaining Ten Pounds

Yesterday, the teacher asked the contestants to practice on their own after the dance. Xiao Jin found a place to practice by himself, so he didn't pay attention to other people's training. Naturally, he didn't know Jiang Ran's progress.

Hearing this, Xiao Jin turned his head and looked at Jiang Ran, frowned slightly and recalled Jiang Ran's performance during the first stage evaluation, "That shouldn't be the case. I saw that your level was very good during the first stage evaluation."

"We practiced that show for more than a month. Although we did some other things in between, the training time was at least twenty days." Jiang Ran explained in an embarrassed whisper.

She had learned about the training methods of Chenglan culture from behind. She basically relied on self-taught singing and dancing. She could complete a dance in half a month, which seemed to have plenty of time. Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets gave her enough time to learn it. Unlike Now I am chasing the progress like this, and I am still running at a crazy speed.

Can this be the same? !

While Jiang Ran was thinking, she raised her head and glanced at the countdown in the practice room. When she saw the remaining time displayed on the countdown, she felt even more upset and couldn't breathe smoothly.

"Have you finished dancing with the teacher? Do you know all the moves?" Xiao Jin lowered his eyes thoughtfully and thought for a moment, "Is it because you can't keep up with the rhythm, or can't remember the moves?"

Jiang Ran lowered her eyelids and mumbled something, but Xiao Jin didn't hear it clearly.

"Well, you dance it first and I take a look." Xiao Jin stood up and raised his chin slightly to signal Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran raised her eyes in surprise and looked up at Xiao Jin with her chin slightly raised. Seeing her serious face, she turned around and stood up with her hands on her face, biting her lips and murmuring in embarrassment, "I haven't finished learning yet, I can't dance." Complete, just a little bit.”

"Jump as much as you can. Let's check your progress first." Xiao Jin said as he took two steps back and stood behind Jiang Ran. His eyes fell on the floor-length mirror in front of him. He nodded to Jiang Ran and opened it. Music accompaniment, turning back to signal Jiang Ran to start dancing.

The program team needs a character. She thinks that this character who leads underachievers and teammates to practice hard together, compete on stage, and be helpful off the stage, with friendship first and competition second is very good.

As for Jiang Ran, she is good-looking and interesting. The instructors seem to like her very much, and the program team gave her a lot of shots. In Class C, she is the best choice to help her teammates. In addition, they are in the same dormitory, so when the time comes, they can also create some united characters or feature her and Jiang Ran as co-stars.

In a short period of time, she had already thought of the name of CP. Xiao Jin and Jiang Ran each picked out a word and called it "even CP".

Jiang Ran followed the rhythm and danced out all the dance moves she remembered. However, when the accompaniment entered the chorus, Jiang Ran had already stopped, blushing a little shyly, "I can dance here, chorus." Song, the movement is too fast, I still don’t know how to..."

Xiaojin gave a soft "hmm" in a nasal tone, turned around and turned off the accompaniment.

"You just danced wrong in several places." Xiao Jin first explained her wrong dance moves, and then corrected her one move at a time.

Because he had a purpose, when he saw Jiang Ran making many basic mistakes, Xiao Jin could not lose his temper and explained to her gently. By the way, he would also demonstrate in person and patiently lead her over and over again. Jump.

After several times, Jiang Ran did gain something. The place where she had been stuck before felt very smooth when she danced again. She even mastered many of the little techniques Xiao Jin mentioned, allowing her to do other dance moves. One pass, one pass.

"Do you remember everything I just said?"

"Yeah." Jiang Ran nodded repeatedly, looking at the thin sweat on Xiao Jin's face, and thanked her gratefully, "Thank you."

Xiao Jin waved his hand, his chest was rising and falling, and he took a few deep breaths to slowly calm down his rapid heartbeat, "It's okay, it's just convenient. I'm also helping myself when I help you."

"Thank you." Jiang Ran thanked her again and stood in front of the mirror with her hands on her hips, looking at herself in the mirror, sweating profusely and blushing, feeling stunned.

In fact, Zhou Zilin and Cao Hui are also in Class C. They have spent a lot of time teaching her in the past two days. However, firstly, their own skills are not very good and they have to find other people for guidance. Secondly, practice After all, it is your own business, and others can only help.

If you don't work hard, nothing others do will be of any use.

Xiaojin took the initiative to help her, which was beyond her expectation.

After all, it seems that both Xiao Jin and Lin Qi prefer to hang out with people from their original company. It is said that they did not come back the night before yesterday, so they slept together with people from their same company, which shows their affection.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the staff of the program team sent a message saying that they could go back to the dormitory earlier to rest, but there was almost no movement in the training room. They continued to train until after ten o'clock, and then they started to leave in twos and threes.

"Call it off! Let's go back to the dormitory and rest. Come back tomorrow!!" The girl clapped her hands and asked a few of her good friends to leave together.

"I'm so tired. I can't move my legs, and my arms are sore and painful..."

"Hey, help me to walk, I have no strength..."

"I really want to take a bath, but unfortunately there are only showers in the dormitory."

"You still want to take a shower, but I just want to go back to bed and lie still and be a sleeping beauty. Just smell bad, I really don't want to move anymore."

"Hey...you are an idol, can you have some professional qualities?"

After two days in a row, I got up early this morning and ran to the playground again. The training was also solid and non-stop. The physical exertion of the players was great, and so was their mental strength. At this moment, all of them were drooping their heads. Some sleepy girls even had their eyes half-closed during practice and would open them every once in a while. Once, save your mental energy to the greatest extent.

There is still one and a half days left, and everyone has not caught up with the progress. They all want to go back and rest early today, treating it as a half-time break.

Jiang Ran walked forward along with the crowd, but did not go back to the dormitory. Instead, she went to the beverage room, took two bottles of drinks from the freezer, and then slowly walked back against the flow of people.

I originally planned to go back to practice for a while, but when I walked to the stairwell carrying a drink, I saw through the glass of the stairwell that it was windy outside.

it's very windy.

The branches were blown this way and that, swaying left and right, and a lot of leaves were blown down. The sound of the wind making contact with the trees made a whining sound, like some kind of animal roaring.

It looked like it was going to rain heavily.

Jiang Ran thought for a while, gave up going back to the training room to continue practicing, and headed towards the dormitory instead.

Perhaps the staff informed them, and now all the players came out of the training room. Jiang Ran also met Zhao Yingying in the stairwell.

The two greeted each other, and Jiang Ran handed over another unopened bottle of drink in his hand.

I thought one bottle wasn't enough for me, so I took two bottles to save myself another trip.

"Thank you." Zhao Yingying took the drink, opened the mouth and took a sip, "Sister Selection Control said it was going to rain heavily. She was afraid that it would be inconvenient to return to the dormitory then, so she asked us to go back early."

Jiang Ran nodded.

After training all day, she was too tired to talk. Zhao Yingying herself was a talkative person, so the two of them walked side by side to the dormitory very quietly.

Jiang Ran and Zhao Yingying were walking in the corridor. When they were about ten meters away from the dormitory, they heard a girl's scream coming from their dormitory.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!!!"

Jiang Ran and Zhao Yingying looked at each other and hurriedly ran to the dormitory.

When he pushed the door open and walked in, he saw Yang Xue who was jumping around in the dormitory and screaming. She was shouting as if some human tragedy had happened, but the dormitory was so clean that it didn't seem like something big had happened. .

"This is impossible! Ah ah ah ah, what should I do... The boss will scold me if he finds out... I am dead... Wuwuwuwu..."

What's going on here?

Jiang Ran looked at Yang Shuang in confusion.

Yang Shuang calmly smoothed the mask on her face, freed her hand and pointed at the electronic scale beside her. Jiang Ran looked down and saw that the last weighing data was still on the electronic scale.

58.23kg.

After conversion, this is 116 pounds.

Strictly speaking, this weight is not considered fat for a girl with a height of 166cm, and is even considered a very healthy weight.

But the saying that "it's ten pounds more photogenic" is no joke.

People are three-dimensional, while TV screens and photos are flat. To capture a three-dimensional image and project it on a flat surface for others to see, it is like flattening a round dough for others to see. It will naturally appear... fat.

The original lens of the camera will make people look much fatter than they are in reality, so there are so many celebrities who are as skinny as a bamboo pole in private, and they look good in the camera. According to Yang Xue's height, she needs to lose at least twenty pounds to look suitable in the camera.

So Jiang Ran now somewhat understood why Yang Xue was shouting here, looking like the sky was falling.

Weight is a topic that every girl pays attention to. The difference is that artists are more strict about figure management. After all, other artists have slender figures and swaying charms. If you wear a dress with a protruding belly, a ring of fat around your waist, or exposed chubby legs, how can you attract fans and make fans willing to bet money on you?

This is how involution is formed.

"I haven't eaten much recently, how could I have gained so much weight... The boss thought I was fat, and now I have gained so much weight..." Yang Xue wailed, suddenly looking at the camera on the side, and He went up and said, "Director, can you cut this section~"

As long as the boss doesn't see it, she can reduce it back before the boss finds out. Then wouldn't it be a perfect solution for everyone to be good to you and me? !

A strange color flashed in Yang Xue's eyes.

"How much fatter have you gained?"

Yang Xue pursed her lips and said, "Thirteen pounds."

How many? !

Jiang Ran's eyes widened in disbelief, and she looked Yang Xue up and down, "You've only been here a few days, and you've already gained so much weight? There's no problem with this, right?"
