On April 10, the TV series "To Our Sweet Little Happiness" was broadcast on Tencent Video, and the two lead actors in the play, Liu Renyu and Gao Qiuzi, aroused the interest of the audience, because these two were popular contestants in the 2018 talent show "Creation 101", which is not the first time that the "show series" contestants have appeared on the screen as actors.
From 2018 to 2019, the three families of Aiyouteng successively launched five talent shows of "Idol Trainees" (referred to as "Even Practice"), "Creation 101", "Youth with You 1" (referred to as "Qingyou 1"), "Creation Camp 2019" (referred to as "Creation 2019"), "In the Name of the Group" (referred to as "To the Group"), only 56 of the more than 500 trainees successfully debuted, where did the remaining 400 trainees go? They will eventually be the youth of a generation, and after they leave this stage, where will their youth settle down?
Group, debut
Ice and fire
When bidding farewell to the talent stage, many people's singing and dancing careers have come to an end, such as Gao Hanyu, a kicking student in "Genesis 2109".
But the vast majority of trainees can still continue to shine on the stage they love, through the platform of the draft more people know them, but also began to understand their original combination, even if they did not make a successful debut, for them can not talk about failure, such as Lehua Seven Sons NEXT, Qi Drum Culture S.I.N.G.
Among the seven sons of Lehua, Bi Wenjun, Ding Zeren, Lee Kwon Chul and Huang Xinchun returned to the group NEXT to continue their love bean career. In the S.I.N.G group, only Lai Meiyun has successfully debuted, and Jiang Shen and Xu Shiyin are still developing in the S.I.N.G group, but since the end of "Creation 101" in June 2018, the group has released 17 songs in 2020.
In addition to returning to their original team, the limited group also came into being, although it did not make a successful debut in the show, but this did not prevent fans from having a limited memory.
"Desert Five Sons" is composed of Gu Landi, Hu Wenxuan, Shi Mingze, Xu Bingchao, Ding Feijun, five players who did not debut in "Qingyou 1". Although the limited group has a lifespan of only 106 days (April 6– July 20, 2019), they have a single album, group photo, and fan meet-up.
In contrast, the life span of another limited group, "Storm Girls", is even shorter, they are only to promote Stephen Chow's movie "The King of New Comedy", and the members of the group are Li Zixuan, Liu Renyu, Wang Ju, Gao Yinghun, Qi Yandi, Lü Xiaoyu and Chen Fangyu of "Creation 101".
The debut of several companies jointly forming a limited group is only an example, and it is more of a new combination formed within a company.
For example, the popular contestants Liu Renyu and Su Ruiqi in "Creation 101" announced their debut in September 2018 in the female singing group Chic Chili launched by the company ETM Vitality Era, and the group also included two other "Creation 101" contestants luo Yijia and Zhang Jingxuan from the same company.
Also experienced is jiaxing Xinyue's BEST group, 5 members of Zhongfeng Chuxuan, Jiang Yiming, Lu Zhenyu, Zhao Zefan have participated in "Chuang 2019".
Some trainees were also sent to make their debut abroad, Yu Mingjun and Deng Yiyi in "Even Practice" were sent to Japan by the company Mai Rui Entertainment and 3 Japanese artists formed a new group warps.
Some of these combinations do not have a little splash, and some emit a brief glow, but they cannot be compared with the debut group (the debut group of "The Group" is not within the scope of comparison).
Acting, variety
Multi-habitat is more secure
In "Youth With You 2", the trainee Shangguan likes to be asked what the girl group in her heart looks like, and her answer is "click real singing, a violent jump".
But in fact, after the "click real singing, a violent jump", the selected boy group girl group was stuffed in Hengdian, such as the girl group Rocket Girl 101 selected by "Creation 101", and 7 of the 11 female group members have starred in film and television works after the formation of the group.
Regardless of whether it is a group or not, Aidou's career cycle is short-lived, and most Ofodou will eventually choose to transform into an actor, and the undeveloped trainees are no exception.
One of the most successful is the last class in "Even Practice" born in Bin, although he was eliminated in the first round of the draft, but the role of "Ghost General" Wen Ning in "Chen Qing Ling" made him absorb countless fans, and the heat was not lost to the successful debut players.
Among the 10-20 contestants in "Idol Trainees", Bi Wenjun, Li Xikan, Zhu Xingjie, Zheng Ruibin, Dong Youlin, Qin Fen, and Xu Shengen all threw themselves into Hengdian.
Among the contestants ranked 12-22 in "Creation 101", Gao Qiuzi, Liu Renyu, Qi Yandi, Lü Xiaoyu and Chen Yihan also participated in many film and television works, among which Liu Renyu, Qi Yandi, Lü Xiaoyu and Chen Yihan all picked The beam in the hit drama as the heroine.
Among the 10-20 contestants in "Youth with You 1", only Yao Chi and Xu Fangzhou participated in film and television works.
Among the contestants ranked 12-22 in "Creation Camp 2019", Peng Chuyue, Dai Jingyao, Zhang Yuan, Li Yunrui, Zhao Zefan, Wu Jifeng, and Feng Chuxuan also began to devote themselves to acting.
In addition to embarking on the road of interpretation, the faces of these trainees can often be seen in some popular online variety shows.
Interestingly, the trainees of the Creation series often appear together on a variety show with their sisters and brothers, such as Qiang Dongyue and Gao Yinghun of "Creation 101" and Lu Siheng, the contestants of "Creation 2019", who participated in the variety show "Friends Who Play Games".
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > rebuilt in case it debuts</h3>
Some people have begun to transform, and naturally some people have persevered to the end, and the word dream still corresponds to the identity of "back to the pot meat" in most trainees.
Since the first year of the 2018 China Draft, "back to the pot meat" is no longer an unfamiliar word, and Cai Xukun, Zhu Zhengting, and Huang Minghao, members of the debut group NINE PERCENT of "Even Practice", are all "back to the pot meat".
Thankfully, they have successfully debuted and have a piece of their own world, but more trainees are still constantly "returning to the pot". This year's only boy group talent show "The Name of the Teenager" can be said to be a big party of "repeat students".
It is reported that the trainees Li Xikan, Xu Shengen, Zuo Ye and Roger of "Even Practice", Hu Wenxuan, Lin Mo, Zhan Yu, Kou Cong, Yang Chaoyang, Zhen Nan of "Qingyou 1", as well as yang Bingzhuo, Su Xunlun and chen Zexin, the debut trainees of "Yi Tuan", and Lin Yan of "Chuang 2019" will participate in this show.
The "Youth with You 2" that is currently being broadcast also has a lot of "back to the pot meat", such as Song Zhaoyi, Ai Yiyi, Zhang Chuhan, and Gou Xueying, who have participated in "Creation 101" before, Song Zhaoyi was called Zhang Xi before, and Ai Yiyi was called Yang Zihan before.
AiYi has been eliminated at present, the "back to the pot meat" of a round of travel is not only her, Yang Yi in "Even Practice" is also a round of travel in "Tron 2019", coincidentally he also changed his name - Yang Terry. Unfortunately, the new name has not brought any changes to their idol road, which is inseparable from strength and luck.
"Creation Camp 2020" will also welcome four "repeat students": Su Ruiqi, Liu Nian, Lin Junyi, and Wang Yiqiao.
In addition to the boy band and women's group series, many contestants also participated in other talent shows, such as the twin brothers Zhu Yunyi and Zhu Yuntian in "Even Practice", Li Zixuan, a popular player of "Creation 101", participated in "Dance Storm", "China New Rap" also attracted many "Qingyou 1" contestants to participate, and Yang Han and Lin Junyi in "Next Station Legend" are also contestants of "Creation 101".
Every trainee is trying to touch the dream, but it is only a few people who can really realize the dream.
Live streaming, posting
Wander the fringes of the entertainment industry
Even if most people's dreams stop, life still has to go on.
Some trainees have long become marginal figures in the entertainment industry, lack of resources and no one to support, and the love of fans has come and gone in a hurry in the draft era, and it is difficult to cling to. Many trainees began to step into the live broadcast industry, perhaps to open up a new world, perhaps the company's live broadcast task, no matter what the purpose, the aura of the star did not bring them dividends in the live broadcast industry.
In "Creation 101", Chen Yingyan, a trainee under the leading banner of 1CM, opened a live broadcast on Mushroom Street, and the fans were less than 50. Huang Ruohan, a trainee in "Even Practice", is much hotter than Chen Yingyan, with a peak heat of 40,000 to 50,000. The best development in the new field is "Green You 1" Lou Jiongxuan, who now signed a papitube to concentrate on being a funny blogger, and the number of video views is more than 500,000.
Worse than these trainees who are struggling to move forward are the players who do not have more than single digits of selfie forwards.
The number of video forwards of Li Lian, a trainee of "Qingyou 1", is only 5, and the number of fan groups is only 87; the number of photo forwards of Chen You and Daniel, trainees who awaken the East at the same time, is also in single digits; the number of video forwards of the white boy band ZERO-G Boyuan is only 18...
Among the more than 400 trainees who have not debuted, Li Lian, Chen You, Daniel and Bo Yuan are the majority, and that draft is to some extent the highlight moment of their idol careers.
Maybe they haven't given up on their dreams yet, but reality really doesn't give people enough hope.
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > marriage, college entrance examination scenery is elsewhere</h3>
Some people stumbled on the road to chasing their dreams, and some people looked down on Vanity Fair and lived their own little lives.
The first trainee to get married in "Idol Trainee" was Zhao Lingfeng, who announced his marriage a year or two months after the graduation of the Dachang boy in June 2019; the first trainee to get married in "Creation 101" was Lin Jia'an, who announced her pregnancy in October 2018, and now her child should be one year old. This was followed by Zhang Xinyue, who announced her marriage to Lin Feng in December 2019.
Some people are still floating in the entertainment industry, but career love can be the same.
The most eye-catching romance in "Qingyou 1" and "Tron 2019" is Zhou Yixuan and Lu Siheng, the former because of his ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend frequently searching, and the latter was filmed by bastard fans installing cameras at the door of their homes to capture their love affair with Feng Salaryduo.
Older trainees begin to seek a stable emotional life, while younger trainees face new crossroads in their lives.
He Luoluo, Yan Xujia, Duan Aojuan, these debut show players will participate in the college entrance examination this year, last year's "Even Practice" Lingchao, "Qingyou 1" Chen Tao, "Yi Tuan" Zhang Haolian were all admitted to the play, "Even Practice" Gao Maotong was admitted to The North Film, and Qian Zhenghao was admitted to the Berkeley Conservatory of Music. This year's college entrance examination is also Liu Renyu, Wen Yichen.
Although most of the trainees are admitted to art colleges, in the four years of college life, they should also be able to find the direction of their lives, and have a firmer answer to whether they will continue to grope in the entertainment industry.
Cancel the contract and withdraw from the circle
Say goodbye to Vanity Fair
Many of the more than 400 undeveloped players have long faded from the audience's vision, and a small number of them have only briefly passed by the entertainment circle and have long returned to their original lives.
"Even Practice" trainee Song Sleep, Li Xinyan Weibo has been stopped for nearly two years, "Qingyou 1" trainee Jin Yongxian has emptied Weibo, "Creation 101" player Luo Tianshu Weibo profile is "hiding", and the updated content is mostly life...
Some people calmly quit, and some people made a storm.
In March 2019, Banana Entertainment, the company of Lu Dinghao, a trainee of "Even Training", issued a statement saying: "Due to the personal behavior of Lu Dinghao, a member of TANGRAM (Super Burning Youth League), which seriously affected the development of the team, the company decided to stop all his work in the group indefinitely. Lu Dinghao was subsequently terminated by Xuezang.
Huang Zhibo, a trainee at "Yi Tuan", was terminated by Lehua for fraud and sentenced to three years and three months in prison by the court after he was supposed to participate in this year's new talent show "The Name of the Teenager".
There are not a few people who terminate the contract, and Bu Fan, one of Kun Yin's four sons, also caused a storm of understanding the covenant. Recently, the trainees Gou Xueying and Zhang Chuhan, who appeared in front of the audience, also terminated their contracts with the previous company and participated in "Qingyou 2" as personal trainees.
Too many people have ups and downs in the entertainment industry, and in the face of a long and not necessarily fruitful show, quitting is not necessarily a bad choice.
Those who left began a new life, and those who remained were still chasing the distant starlight. If the trainees still want to make a comeback, I hope that they can grasp the words of the draft predecessor Shi Yang as soon as possible: "This kind of talent show is to use you to help increase the ratings." But when I came in, I had to seize the opportunity to make the show worse than me, and I was going to show something that no one else could show. ”
