Chapter 9 starts recording

Therefore, since she entered the book, she has had relatively little contact with the original owner's grandma, and all of them were through WeChat voice, which was not real-time. This way she can mentally go through it before speaking and be prepared.

As for why she chose not to send text but to send voice, it was because although the original owner’s grandma Jiang Hongmei knew some common words, she did not know how to type 26-key or 9-key Pinyin. Handwriting input was too troublesome and slow, so the two of them used this method to communicate. Voice input. In fact, before Jiang Ran entered the book, the original owner and Jiang Hongmei mostly chose video calls. Jiang Ran told the other party that she had been busy recently and didn't have time to explain this change in a video.

Jiang Ran's heart gradually tightened with the "beep...beep..." sound during the dialing process. Fortunately, the other party did not answer the call until the call automatically hung up after timeout.

Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, glanced at the time, and touched Jiang Hongmei's hand. Jiang Hongmei was out for a walk after breakfast, and she had forgotten her mobile phone at home.

After thinking about it, Jiang Ran found her grandma as a contact on WeChat, sent a voice message to explain the specific situation to reassure her, and transferred three thousand yuan to her sister who runs a supermarket at the entrance of grandma's community, and sent an additional 18.88 I thanked the other party for helping with the red envelope, and asked this sister to help exchange it into cash and give it to my grandma, and then I received a text message from the bank.

[Postal Savings Bank] At 08:21 on March 22, 2018, the WeChat transfer amount from your account with the last number 1234 was 3,000.00 yuan, and the balance was 5,352.31 yuan. Transaction type: expenditure.

[Postal Savings Bank] At 08:22 on March 22, 2018, the WeChat red envelope amount of your account with the last number 1234 was 18.88 yuan, and the balance was 5333.43 yuan. Transaction type: expenditure.

Jiang Ran's eyelids twitched when she saw two consecutive text messages on her mobile phone, her face wrinkled into a bitter melon face, and she was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.

My money was not brought by the strong wind, but it seemed to be blown away by the strong wind. Why is it so difficult to make money and spend it so quickly?

After making the call, Cao Hui turned around and saw Jiang Ran with a bad expression, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just my wallet is empty."

"Why do you look like your body has been emptied when your wallet is empty?"

"It would be better to have your body hollowed out."

Cao Hui:......

"Your salary will be paid soon, and your wallet will be bulging again soon. Food and accommodation are included here, and you can save more than half of your expenses this month."

Faced with Cao Hui's comfort, Jiang Ran said that she was comforted.

This kind of fussing and calculating life only appeared in her first year after graduation. She didn't expect to relive it so soon. But she wouldn't want to relive it if she could.

At this time, Jiang Ran once again doubted life.

Why do people dress up as billionaires when they wear books, but she has to make money to survive without having to eat anymore! What’s the point of her wearing a book?

After everyone's belongings were handed in, everyone packed the remaining belongings in their suitcases and waited for the staff's follow-up arrangements.

The staff asked everyone to keep quiet, and the assistant director would come over to introduce the detailed rules of the competition to everyone. Everyone didn't wait long. About two or three minutes later, they heard the sound of high heels on the ground coming from outside the door.

I just heard from the staff that the assistant director was coming over, and everyone deliberately lowered their voices when talking. When they heard the sound of high heels, they all clearly guessed who was coming, so everyone's eyes were focused on the entrance.

Soon, a group of people walked in from outside.

The leader was a woman in her thirties, wearing a black professional skirt. The man next to her was reporting something to her. The woman had a serious expression, pursed her lips and nodded, and the man took two steps back. Follow her.

The staff member next to her stepped forward and said to the woman, "Director Ruan, everyone is here."

"Yes." Ruan Guan nodded, glanced at the collected electronic equipment that was grouped together, and smiled at everyone, "Hello, let me introduce myself first. I am the deputy director of the program team of "Idol Dream Factory" Director, my name is Ruan Wan."

"I believe you all have heard about the news about "Idol DreamWorks". We are a girl group talent show with an elimination system. In the end, there are only nine places to debut as a group. There are a total of 200 contestants standing here. Among you, there are Some are mature girl group members from well-known companies, and some are individual trainees who have not yet signed a contract, but from the moment you come here, we will treat you equally."

"What we are going to record today is the preliminary stage selection. The instructors will rate you based on your performance so that you can be divided into classes later. Players with better ratings in the preliminary rating will have better dormitory conditions, so I hope everyone can Be good~"

Ruan Guan looked around the group of girls while introducing, and continued, "Of course, this rating is not static. There will be opportunities to change it in the future. Even if the rating is not good for a while, don't be discouraged."

No wonder they were not allowed to go directly to the dormitory to put their luggage but came here first, so that was the case.

"You can put your luggage here first and prepare backstage. The recording will start at ten o'clock on time. Today we will finish recording all the contestants' first stage selections."

Everyone was very surprised that the recording was about to start, and the venue was a little noisy for a while.

Ruan Guan did not stop them and looked at them with a smile. After the voice gradually became quieter, Ruan Guan continued, "There will be instructor comments after each group's performance. With a large number of people, the recording time will be longer. I hope everyone will pay attention to maintaining their own state while waiting. If there is any What matters can be communicated directly to the staff? Do you have any other questions?”

"No."

"no problem."

"Okay, then I will ask the staff to take you over to prepare." After Ruan Guan finished speaking, he left the staff behind him. Before leaving, he looked at Jiang Ran and several other good prospects he had chosen. After staying for a while, I left first with great satisfaction.

With less than two hours of preparation time, everyone was completely unprepared. They thought they were just entering the recording venue today, but they didn't expect that the preliminary stage ratings would begin today, which caught them off guard.

The costumes and makeup for the initial stage rating are the first impression given to the audience. They are not the responsibility of the program team, but the stylists and makeup artists of their own company. It can be regarded as a small competition for beauty.

So at this moment, those who have signed a contract with the company are racing against time to get in front of the team brought by themselves outside, and those whose companies are relatively small or do not have a contract company at all, can only be responsible for it themselves, or let the program team People help.

It’s such a rush to get a look and make-up done, and then go backstage to make final preparations for the show.

When Jiang Ran came out of the fitting room after changing clothes and makeup, the staff of the program team equipped her with a microphone for radio reception, taught her how to use it, and carefully warned her that if it was not necessary , do not turn off the microphone.

Individuals wear microphones so that they can record their every word and deed in real time. In addition to following the photos, other shootings will be recorded with cameras installed in various locations in advance.

After the others left, Jiang Ran checked the overall situation in the mirror for the last time. After making sure that there was no problem, she went over to join Cao Hui and the others.

Every contestant you meet along the way has a nameplate with his or her name and company name on them. This not only makes it easier for everyone to get acquainted with each other faster, but also makes it easier for the audience to recognize the contestants' names and faces when the show is broadcast. Correspond and remember.

While waiting backstage, everyone was in an extremely excited state, and they did not forget to do dance moves or open their voices from time to time in the waiting area.

There were also many contestants pulling the staff next to them, asking questions, or making all kinds of flirtatious gestures. Jiang Ran and Cao Hui stood together, looking at the scenes in front of them with awe. stunned.

Xia Yun was younger and felt a little anxious. She couldn't hold her breath and couldn't hide her words. "Aren't they so awesome? They got to know the staff so quickly? Will they know some inside information in advance?" Ah, isn’t it very disadvantageous for us?”

"Don't worry, the staff have all signed confidentiality agreements. What can I disclose?" Cao Hui looked calm and unfazed on the surface, but in fact she didn't know what to do in her heart. There are countless unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, and there are many people talking. Anyone who wants to know has already known it through the company. Most of the people I asked at the backstage were from inferior companies, not much different from them. They were not the ones to be wary of.

But she couldn't show it at the moment. She was the biggest one in their group and she had to stabilize the situation.

Xia Yun nodded and felt much more at ease, then waved to a few people to put their ears closer, and whispered to a few people, "When I was asked to hand over electronic equipment just now, I saw someone didn't hand over their mobile phone."

Jiang Ran thought Xia Yun was going to say something mysteriously, but it turned out to be this. In fact, she had just seen someone hiding a spare phone in the suitcase and not handing it over. This situation was not unique.

After all, when the program team asked them to hand it in, it was all done on their own initiative. When the staff checked, they only looked through it roughly and did not look through it in detail. Some were lucky enough not to be discovered by the staff, and some were in contact with the staff and were seen by the staff. Just pretend you didn't see it and turn a blind eye.

Before she could express her opinion, she heard Zhou Zilin frown, "Don't worry about them, let's just take care of ourselves."

"Xia Yun, if you know something, you should pretend you don't know it. If you see it, you should pretend you didn't see it. You are impatient. Think more when you speak and do things. Don't be used as a weapon by others without knowing it." Cao Huihe Zhou Zilin meant exactly the same thing. It was better to do less than to do more . They didn't want to make enemies.

Xia Yun nodded repeatedly with benefit, took it to heart, and decided to remember to watch more, listen more, and learn more, and mainly talk less during this program group.

At this time, a staff member was already holding the list and starting to sort everyone in the order of appearance.

The first group of contestants to enter was a team of five little girls. When they came on stage, the entire hall was dark. They held hands to encourage each other and whispered to relieve tension as they walked, "Why is it so dark? It's so dark?" Has the recording really started? Why is there no one there..."
