Question: If Zhang Yixing launched a girl group, would you watch it?
Keep the answer for yourself.
Zhang Yixing and Mango TV produced a singing and dancing reality show "100% Produced", which basically turned his trainees into a qualified girl group and finally launched it to the market.
All sisters
Zhang Yixing, our old acquaintance, as usual, Piao's attitude towards Zhang Yixing has always been to look at the excitement more than to ridicule.
He has always been a special and unique sample in the entertainment industry, so Piao will talk about him several times.
Therefore, this time, I also want to talk about the recent Zhang Yixing through the new material of the girl group.
First of all, let's start with the show itself.
For the girl group, he said:
In a decentralized form
Let more people know
What exactly is a Chinese girl group?
Workplace slang?
Seeing that the director team didn't quite understand, Zhang Yixing lived up to expectations and said his set of remarks.
With the rise of regional cultures
to drive the whole of China
It's not just about entertainment
talked about tourism, catering, and the combination of punches going to sea, which is bound to make China lift the earth, and the director on the other side was stunned.
I won't watch the next G20 Forum without your speech!
He's still him.
The one who is a teenager because the man is a teenager until he dies, he can still be a childlike at the age of 32.
After chatting about culture and imagination, he invited the Extreme Men Gang to be a witness of the girl group.
It's paradoxical, do these guys have anything to do with the girl group?
But it's right to think about it, how can it be hot if you don't tie it.
OK, the cultural value is paved, and the show has officially begun.
Program rules: Zhang Yixing takes the members to battle with the international girl group invited by the program team, if you win, some of the members will make your debut, and if you lose, all of them will delay their debut.
Anyway, no matter what happens, someone will make their debut.
This time, in addition to Zhang Yixing's coordination, Meng Jia and Danke were also invited to do guidance. Later, there will be Wanida to regulate the emotional problems of the members.
It's all here
It's all because of you
It can be seen that Zhang Yixing has really paid a lot for his girl group.
But the fatal thing is that the recognition of the members is not high, and the recognition is not high, that is, there is no audience for idols.
Zhang Yixing temporarily checked the names of the members, and was so anxious that he turned over the information with his little thumb.
It is reported that 99% of people who can't get idols are for one reason: face blindness.
But Zhang Yixing faced his carefully selected members, and exuded the brilliance of motherhood throughout the whole process.
Meng Jiadu said that this is different from the usual Zhang Yixing.
So much so that when the director team euphemistically said that the members were not infectious enough on the stage, Zhang Yixing was anxious.
The director's words are tactful enough, and they try their best to work as a worker.
Pay more attention to the wording: a loss.
……
There are more than 40 votes in this
There are also inclusive votes for them
I don't think she did
Give me that contagion
It's not a long way off
And the results are also there, and the members who are about to debut are indeed not as infectious as the dance teacher.
In response to this question, Zhang Yixing's answer is:
More than a dozen hours of recording
Wear makeup every day
Teachers don't care
The teachers she jumped
Five minutes, six minutes
This is when she shines at her best
The implication is that the members do not have expression management because they are tired, which is understandable.
The director team went one step further: the members didn't catch the audience in the first second, and the audience couldn't fall in love with them later.
It was also euphemistically suggested that the members could have done it, but they didn't. The attitude is mainly regretful.
Zhang Yixing was anxious again, blushing and fighting with the director team.
He thinks it's normal for the members to be fledgling and have no stage experience, so they should still be understood.
Li'er is indeed such a Li'er, the question is if the audience is not a fan of Zhang Yixing, will they still give so much understanding?
Watching a girl group that has been practicing in a closed way for three years, the expression management is not good, and there is no appeal, so why waste time on the audience?
There was a stalemate, and in the end, Zhang Yixing attributed the problem to the photography teacher, because the photography teacher did not cooperate well with the members, so they were not infectious enough.
Actually, it's not you who work hard
It's not that I'm trying
It's the director's effort
The director team basically agreed with this answer, so they mentioned it more:
Because we're aiming for it now
It's about trying to make people like us
The word "target" seemed to trigger some kind of passive switch for Zhang Yixing, and immediately responded:
Our goal is to run
Leading Chinese music to the world
This is the director's reaction when he hears this, who knows how uncomfortable it is for me to hold back my laughter in the office.
The director said that he would learn 1+1=2 first, and he said that I would go to Tsinghua University in the future.
Follow-up solutions, Zhang Yixing personally took the director and camera to pick out all the camera movements.
This is Zhang Yixing's expression after instructing everything
I'll take a screenshot of the last scene for you to see.
This is the evaluation of the barrage.
It can only be said that the efforts are ineffective.
It's as if Zhang Yimou planned a few months of one shot to the end, but the result can only be as if it never happened.
The second song, when the members rehearsed on stage, can be described as chaotic.
Actually, it could be in my world
I don't think it's good enough
The members themselves were aware of the problem, but Zhang Yixing said: Very good.
The words of encouragement were endless, making Meng Jiadu sigh that Zhang Yixing was "doting" on the members.
In the follow-up, Zhang Yixing corrected the members' singing pronunciation word by word, supported Teacher Ruying, and took him to move the mirror, just like Gong Hanlin who hijacked Teacher Zhao Lirong to dance on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
This is Zhang Yixing's dedication and understanding as a boss for employees.
Teacher Zhang's all the things
will do it themselves
Whether it's our choreography
Or our videography
Or our expression management
His experience will be used in all aspects
Give us your advice
The second episode opens with a scene of the calf's name, and the members face sharp questions from the media for the first time.
When the media people at the meeting coaxed the members in short skirts to dance, Zhang Yixing broke the siege in time and talked about the embarrassment when he was coaxed to dance when he went home for the New Year.
When the members were asked to rank their abilities, Zhang Yixing asked the reporter rhetorically and set out the reporter's answer.
I also want to ask a question
What kind of answer are you expecting?
When the members were sad because of their appearance being attacked by netizens and the lowest number of votes on the spot, Zhang Yixing appeared to adjust the mentality of the members.
It's because you're you
You have your irreplaceability
You have your indispensable place
Look a little closer, and you'll see that when you're alone with a member, he leaves the door open.
will even intimately help the members with bibimbap, the boss does this, there is really nothing to say.
As the boss, he did his best, tried to avoid risks for the members, and provided help to the members, even if some of the help was to add to the snake, but he did it, at least "there is work in the eyes".
It's no wonder that many people will turn fans of Zhang Yixing Road after watching the show.
But is it really just the boss's work perspective that what is done to the members?
At the time of "Occasional Practice", the show asked Zhang Yixing to rate himself as a trainee, and he did not hesitate to say "F".
This is not a polite remark, after all, none of the trainees during that time were training vigorously.
He also mentioned that during that time, he was depressed and decadent because of his poor training performance.

Although he made a successful debut and the group reached the top, he was still on the margins, almost the least noticed in the group.
The debut song "MAMA" has the least part, and even the electronic music vase part like Wu Sign is almost twice as many as his.

There are not many parts of the follow-up hit singles, "Wolf" counts down directly, and even less than Wu Shixun's part, you must know that Wu Shixun has not been released solo until he was explosion-proof.

The most intuitive way to test the value of idols is the number of fans, and it is obvious that he is not in the forefront, even if Wu Yifan quits the group in May 2014, his popularity has not changed at all.

Playing soy sauce in a pinnacle group like EXO, people who are not very competitive, such as Chen, can do it for three years.
But Zhang Yixing is very competitive and strong, so he is extremely eager to be noticed and eager to stay.
Corresponding to the current girl group, this can understand why the members are obviously not performing well, he can continue to encourage them, and why the members are not popular with the audience, and he does not hesitate to pay great value to help.
When there is a problem, he never blames, but "excuses" the members.
So far, there are no public personal accounts of members on the whole network, only one official account.
In the data age, there will inevitably be data discrepancies in personal accounts, and the mentality of members will inevitably be affected.
Zhang Yixing protected them very well, which was also his protection back then.
After all, the one who steps on the sewing machine, even if he crosses the street, can cause passers-by to revel.
The things he said and did to the members were actually more like what he said and did to himself when he was younger.
Isn't this kind of protection and maintenance of his compensation for himself?
The boy just threw it out
You're on your own
Girls need to be protected
But behind this compensation, there is not only emotional compensation.
Talking about Zhang Yixing's career, he wants to be an all-round artist, but his age is already limited.
Compared with South Korea, how can there be a 32-year-old singing and dancing idol who either gets married and has children, or brushes his face in variety shows.
The domestic singing and dancing market is not optimistic, for Zhang Yixing, when he was young, he still had fans to pay for singing and dancing, and when age became a limit, he wanted to continue to be active in domestic entertainment, so he could only transform into an actor.
This is not an active "all-round artist" in the mouth of fans, but what he has to do.
He couldn't give up his commercial value. Everyone pays for Zhang Yixing, not Zhang Yixing's songs.
He was not convinced, but the market was there, and he was already powerless for singing and dancing.
But at the same time, he has shouted for so many years to "lead Chinese music to the world" and has not yet been completed.
Any self-confidence, any pale explanation, the undertone is inferiority.
He was ridiculed and had to finish it, so the girl group was also his goal to compensate.
If he can't do it, he can only do it by the next generation. If he succeeds, then his goal is accomplished.
The director asked: Is the girl group a battle for him that he gambled on dignity.
He said the assessment was "realistic." He knew that this was indeed a bet on Zhang Yixing's dignity.
Let's look at these members selected by Zhang Yixing.
This is the self-introduction of the members, and it is strange that five of the six are shy and introverted, but they are very confident in themselves when it comes to their profession.
The only member with an extroverted personality who is confident in his strength, but his appearance was attacked by netizens.
Needless to say, you can also see that they all have the shadow of Zhang Yixing himself on them more or less, or he himself may not be aware of this.
The girl group is actually more like his differentiation carrier, carrying his unfinished or unfulfilled dreams.
He is still holding his breath, he has thrown so many resources just to prove that people who are very similar to himself can succeed.
If it sounds good, it is inheritance, and if it is not good, the members are the carriers of Zhang Yixing's "dream".
He has always been unconvinced in his heart, so he must prove it to the outside world.
If you really can't do it yourself, then let someone replace you.
Mr. Zhang's goal
That's our goal
Leading Mandarin (Music) to the world
Let's look at Zhang Yixing's business model in recent years, establishing a chromosome entertainment company to cultivate trainees and expand the territory.
In the words of his early years, he wanted to be "China's Li Xiuman".
It looks similar in form, but it is not accurate to compare the current Zhang Yixing with "Li Xiuman", he is actually more like another big man in Korean entertainment: JYP.
That's right, it's Meng Jia and Wang Feifei's previous boss Park Zhenying.
Although Park Jin-young and Lee so-man are both singers, after they established their respective companies, Lee so-man made more overall and key decisions.
SM songwriters mainly rely on outsourcing teams, such as Yu Yongjin, the "Godfather of Korean Music", and Kenzie, who is known as one of SM's "double composers" along with Yu Yongzhen.
Park Jin-young is different, although he is in management, all the artists of JYP have sung the songs he wrote.
He will compose a suitable piece or even choreography according to the group's positioning and style.
Netizens ridiculed that if JYP had a perfect face, he would be able to completely dominate KPOP, a 360° all-round artist.
JYP is not just an entertainment company owner, but also a full-service producer, or a patriarch, who has countless ideas and creativity, and one person's talent is enough to feed a large family.
To paraphrase Wang Xifeng's words: Sweeping the cracks in his Pu family's ground is enough for you to live a lifetime.
Zhang Yixing is actually doing the same thing.
He does everything for the members, from creation to stage to marketing and other fields, and is completely shaping a new form of masterpiece with his own ideals.
But then again, the basis of the "JYP" model is not daddy's control, but daddy's ability.
Of course, Zhang Yixing is the person who has the right to speak in this industry of internal entertainment, but his talent is obvious to all and has an upper limit.
Talent is talent, and he knows that he is not a genius.
I remembered another Weibo he had been ridiculed by the group:
If you don't believe in the Chinese, you can go far.
I once wrote that Zhang Yixing has a self-preservation mechanism: surrounded by widespread ridicule and ridicule, he must be the last person to believe in Zhang Yixing, otherwise he will not be able to get along with his top-notch status.
He would rather think that netizens think that Chinese are not good, and he is not willing to accept that everyone just thinks that Zhang Yixing is not good.
In the end, he even tried to separate the two parts of "himself" and "talent":
If you are prejudiced against Zhang Yixing, then this personality will be put away first;
But my talent is still very powerful, I'll make a group for you to see, you'll know.
It's exactly the same mentality he had when he admired his new album.
But my concern is, if his new girl group is built entirely with this line of thought, what will their own personalities be?
Six-person hard work and hard work?
When PK with foreign girl groups, shouldn't they also shout "I don't believe in the Chinese can roll"?
As a result, the personality of "Zhang Yixing" was not put away, but possessed by the body of the girl group. The more you watch this show, the more you can only see one person.
The help provided by this boss to the members is all external, what kind of camera movement, what kind of relief when asking questions, etc., after reading it, you will only have a good impression of Zhang Yixing, but you unconsciously ignore the trainee who should be the protagonist.
Other conditions are inseparable from the "self".
Chatting with the director, he took the initiative to cue to his own concert, mentioning that he used the clip of "Farewell My Concubine".
But in fact, the on-site director didn't know anything about it, and then he had to listen to him talk about the cultural power.
This is true cultural confidence
You're going to have to think about it anyway
The strategy of a cultural powerhouse
Thinking in a good direction, the trainees can get through in the end.
But if it doesn't work, then these trainees are the tools that Zhang Yixing uses to realize his ambitions.
You have to ask me if I expect the success of the girl group's debut, at a certain level, I am looking forward to it, but what I expect is that they can achieve success in breaking away from "Zhang Yixing".
How difficult it is for singing and dancing idols to mix internal entertainment, Zhang Yixing himself knows.
Will this group of girls really lead Chinese music to the world in the future, or will they continue to hit the south wall with the boss's breath.
We'll just have to wait and see.
