Has Chapter 9 passed

The director stated, "The discussion has begun, but the content of the discussion will only tarnish the reputation of our judging panel, leading the audience to question our fairness and professionalism."

Therefore, it is sufficient that the final 11 individuals we select are relatively outstanding, while for the other contestants, we require uniqueness and topicality, as this will help increase our viewership.

Do the audience know who the judges are

In reality, the judges in the room are watching a video with the chief director, Lisa

Qi Xi silently gave a thumbs up from the side

What else is there?

Don't you think that a joke on the show would stimulate the audience's desire to discuss it

What does it mean

Director, I believe that although the performance of these Four Happiness Meatballs is not professional, it is not lacking in character, and it is different from being purely bad. In this world, there are certainly perceptive individuals; since Lisa has already pointed this out, it is meaningless to contradict her. It would be better to actively find some steps to give to Lisa.

The previously oppressive atmosphere in the office of Xingtang Culture was shattered by the news brought by Xu Qing

The staff did not stop their replaying actions upon hearing this; the chief director is the boss. When the boss has spoken, is it necessary to heed the opinions of this judge?

Then she said to the staff: "Alright, that's enough."

I planted a seed

As soon as these words were spoken, the others had little reaction, but Xu Qing felt that something was not quite right. After giving Ye Sitang a glare, he then addressed everyone, saying: "Since we have confirmed our participation in the program, there are some matters that need to be seriously explained to everyone. This also marks our company's first artist positioning analysis meeting"

The video starts playing again

Lisa then asked the question she had just asked once more: "What do you think?"

Yang Tutu began to scream

She said to the other judges: "Ladies and gentlemen, what era are we in now? It is no longer the time of television talent shows from the past. For our program to succeed, we need to generate a significant amount of discussion and attract viewership. Only then can our sponsors recognize the value of the show, and in the future, we can attract more advertisers and secure more funding to produce larger programs

However, beyond this, we need to ensure that there is sufficiently interesting content to present right at the beginning of the program

Director, this kind of thinking cannot produce excellent programs; such individuals cannot make any contributions and can only lower the quality of the show. The judge wearing sunglasses remains obstinate in their opinion

"There is no difference between 'poor' and 'worst' in my eyes." The judge wearing sunglasses scoffed at this statement

Is it possible? A completely positive evaluation?

"Is a lack of skill a characteristic? Do we need such a characteristic? What we need is high-level competition." The judge wearing sunglasses refuted this viewpoint, saying, "I do not agree with this perspective, it will ruin our program."

As the video played, Lisa felt as if something in her mind had been pierced, her eyes grew brighter, and she gradually began to perceive a certain flavor in the video.

So it was Qing Ge who directly approached the chief director and successfully used connections? Yang Tutu immediately realized.

Did we pass? Weren't we eliminated during the interview?

As soon as these words were spoken, Lisa burst into laughter and then said to everyone: "A joke? Yes, yes, yes, this is exactly the effect we want."

Upon hearing this, the judge wearing sunglasses furrowed his brow and said in confusion: "Director, is it really necessary to watch this kind of thing again?"

Very poor

Lisa no longer wished to continue the communication upon hearing this; she suddenly felt that this judge was indeed out of touch with the times

As soon as she left the room, Lisa immediately said to the staff beside her: "Add the Four Happiness Meatballs to the final program list, and please notify their management company."

The staff immediately pressed the pause button, awaiting further instructions from Lisa

"What reaction?" he pondered while wearing sunglasses, "Perhaps I believe there is an issue with the selection mechanism of this program. Such incompetent individuals have been chosen, and their show appears to be nothing but a joke."

It has been six months since we initiated the project; how much more time do you think the company can afford to give you

Our program is called "Creation Group 101". Do you need me to explain what 101 means and its significance in literature again?" Lisa looked at the judge wearing sunglasses, her tone already reflecting considerable dissatisfaction

Ladies and gentlemen, you only conduct interviews during the selection process. We are Creation Group 101, not a singing competition like "The Voice of China," and there is no need for judges to provide any evaluations during the show. The role of the star mentors will only be reflected in the initial selection phase for class division; thereafter, it is the audience who will determine who stays and who leaves. Lisa suddenly realized that Xu Qing had made a very valid point: the judges under her supervision were still stuck in the outdated mindset of traditional talent shows.

The performance was indeed somewhat unprofessional Another teacher's remarks were much more tactful

His audacity to speak in such a manner is entirely due to Lisa's repeated emphasis at the inception of the production team that everyone should be courageous in expressing their opinions. As the chief director, she is committed to the principle that listening to all voices leads to clarity, ensuring that no one feels inhibited from speaking due to her position.

I hope that when you observe the trainees, you do not focus solely on their singing and dancing abilities. While these skills are indeed important, under the current circumstances, we will strive to select trainees with better skills to participate in the program

This question has been asked for the second time, and several judges are beginning to realize that the chief director may have other intentions

That is all negative discussion; what is the purpose of such discussions? We aim to create the best girl group in the country, and what we seek is positive feedback, entirely positive feedback

Then extend the selection period for trainees; with more time, we will surely be able to identify the outstanding ones

Lisa's persistent questioning left the judge wearing sunglasses somewhat perplexed. He looked at Lisa through his sunglasses and said, "Director, forgive my lack of insight; apart from the flaws, I see nothing else."

Lisa did not respond to their remarks, but instead asked the staff to play it again

Today is a great day

What the audience wants to see is a variety of programs, not a dull competition, do you understand what I am saying

"Terrible," said the male judge wearing sunglasses without any mercy

Ye Sitang followed up by saying, "Qing Ge is indeed impressive, he can even access the backdoor of the chief director."

No one else had spoken yet, when the judge wearing sunglasses immediately repeated the previous answer: "Terrible"

Setting aside your roles as judges, if you were the audience and witnessed the performance of these four individuals on our program, what would your reaction be

"How is it impossible? As long as our competitors are skilled and precise enough."

The trainee system in our country is not mature, and there are not that many high-level trainees; you need to understand this. Lisa almost directly quoted the words that Xu Qing had said to her when she spoke to the judge wearing sunglasses

After saying this, Lisa did not wait for anyone to respond; instead, she took another glance at the judge wearing sunglasses and slowly left the interview room

What do you think?" Lisa casually asked after watching the performance video

If they can raise the level of discussion in the program

Accompanying this was Ye Sitang's remark: "That judge clearly said we wouldn't pass with him, yet now we have been approved."

"Qing Ge is impressive," Hu Xin finally said at this moment

Xu Qinggang wanted to say a few words, but at that moment, the young lady from the operations department eagerly responded: "Didn’t Qing Ge say when he was at Tengyu that the judges' opinions do not count, only the chief director's do?"

If there are not enough high-level trainees, we will reduce the number of trainees. Even if we ultimately select thirty individuals to participate in the program, it is better than sending a group of less qualified individuals.

Finally, the fruit has grown

In front of them is a large-screen television, which is playing a video of the performance of the Four Happiness Meatballs.

Indeed, we require our trainees to possess skills, but they must also have distinct characteristics. Lisa strongly agrees with this statement

Hu Xin and Qi Xi remained silent beside them, yet their expressions revealed their joy, a happiness that comes from regaining what was lost

... ...

While Xu Qing is in a state of indecision, Lisa is also experiencing the same dilemma

What else? Lisa seems somewhat dissatisfied with this answer

At this moment in the interview room, the interview has been paused, officially stating that it is time for a meal, and the panel of judges needs to take a break before resuming the interview in the afternoon

In fact, since the establishment of the program team, Lisa has consistently achieved this, which has given the judge the courage to refute.

In this interview, she ranked at the bottom of the team, but she cannot be considered the worst, as there are others who are even more outrageous
