Chapter 718: Chapter 718

Luo You hinted that these people pulling out was related to He Jinxia, and then asked the production team if they had made a decision yet. He Jinxia was still waiting for a response from the production team and had not formally announced her decision not to participate.

The person in charge couldn’t make up his mind for the moment, and Luo You was urging them so intensely that they had to provide an answer by the afternoon.

After such long negotiations, it was time to settle on a result.

Early in the morning, "Burn, My Youth" production team spent the entire meeting discussing the choice between He Jinxia and Deng Zhaoyan.

In the end, the production team still chose Deng Zhaoyan, and the cooperation with He Jinxia officially fell through.

On that day, He Jinxia continued with the "Musical Youth" crew’s promotion, attending interview shows and talking about interesting experiences during the shooting.

When she learned about the news backstage during a break, she responded with a very calm "Hmm" and seemed unconcerned, continuing to immerse herself in the busy promotion schedule.

Wilson also specifically released some behind-the-scenes footage today, which, because of the humorous topic, unexpectedly trended for a while!

On the other hand, the renaming He Jinxia requested for "Your Life, I Will Protect" was also settled, conforming to the market’s reality show naming conventions, and was called—

Actually, the person in charge preferred to change the name to "Rescue 5 Minutes," following related regulations stating that firefighters are to be dressed and on the truck within one minute, and fire trucks should leave the station within one minute and arrive at the fire scene within five minutes based on the fire station’s location standards.

But this is the ideal scenario when the fire station is no more than 1.5 kilometers away from the fire site, and the driving time is five minutes.

If the journey was long, they could only promise to reach the fire scene as quickly as possible.

The decision for five hours was made after the person in charge looked through the fire brigade’s recent fire-extinguishing cases and came up with an average value based on the average duration of extinguishing fires.

Sheng Yan did not seek her out today, and because He Jinxia was so busy, she momentarily forgot about her matter with Sheng Yan.

On the third day, He Jinxia broke away from the promotional team to record "Strongest Female Trainee"! Follow current novels on ɴovelfire.net

In three more days the show would be broadcast, and this day was the day when all teams finalized their performance lineup; He Jinxia, no matter how busy her schedule, could not delay.

Upon its release, "Strongest Female Trainee" sparked a fervent reaction, with netizens comparing it to "Sunshine Youth Charge Ahead" and discovering the strengths of each show.

According to the comments of netizens, "Strongest Female Trainee" generally outperformed "Sunshine Youth Charge Ahead."

As He Jinxia rode to the recording location, she casually opened W and scrolled through their topics.

[In three more days we’ll get to see their performance, I’m so excited and looking forward to it, the sisters are all so pretty!]

[The sunny little brothers are also very handsome, each one a Little Wolf~]

[I think I’ve figured out the routine of these reality shows, female trainees sell the tomboy persona, and male trainees sell the delicately cute persona, what Little Wolf? Isn’t the wolf a more fitting description for the girls? Just look at the previews released, geez, the girls fighting over the dormitory is so fierce! The girls should be called Little Wolf, and the boys... heh, Little Puppy, I guess.]

[I still feel like "Strongest Female Trainee" is more interesting to watch, you can tell by the set design, lighting on set, song choice, and so on that everything is well-prepared, while "Sunshine Youth Charge Ahead" feels rough and shoddy, with a strong sense of being a copycat product.]

[Looking at the details, indeed the female trainees are a bit better, but the Sunshine Youth aren’t as bad as you all say, right??]

He Jinxia checked the trending popularity, and as the time for the second episode’s broadcast drew closer, the heat grew more intense, showing no clear signs of a Water Army’s manipulation.

Thoughtfully, she concluded that as long as the upcoming episodes maintained their quality online, the group reality show would be considered a success.

More than how to plan the show to enhance its appeal, He Jinxia was interested in the ways the program could rake in money.

A program, besides earning through broadcasting fees and advertising, has many additional revenue streams. She wondered how Tonghua Entertainment planned to proceed.

Arriving at the filming location, He Jinxia hurried inside, got changed with the assistance of the staff, and quickly did her makeup.

The live recording hadn’t started yet; there were still five hours to go until the real recording, leaving He Jinxia with four hours of practice time.

According to the original plans of the production team, He Jinxia was set to perform with the team of the contestant who received the highest popularity votes last episode, as a boost to their popularity.

However, due to her busy schedule and limited availability, the production team had made a last-minute adjustment to He Jinxia’s performance order just yesterday.

He Jinxia would still appear in the team of the contestant with the highest popularity votes from the last episode, but the term "perform together" would have to be discounted, as He Jinxia would not join them in dancing anymore.

Instead, after this team finished performing, she would suddenly add a stunning finale, appearing only at the end for an individual solo, at which point all the female group members would exit the stage.

This arrangement was a bit fairer than the previous one. Previously, it was as if He Jinxia was part of the most popular contestant’s group. With an audience familiar with He Jinxia, where some even might be her diehard fans,

out of adoration for the idol, even if the group’s performance wasn’t good, they could still possibly receive the highest votes.

With the current arrangement, the performances were considered separate, making it easier for the audience to choose who to vote for.

He Jinxia was very satisfied with this arrangement as it allowed her to rehearse solo on the stage without having to coordinate with others, saving a lot of time.

Every night she made time to dance, practicing the group dance publicly released by "Strongest Female Trainee," a dance every trainee knew.

When filming "High School Musical," He Jinxia had already merged her past life’s dance experience with her physical abilities in this life, leading her to dance with increasing grace and flexibility, not confined to classical dance but also exploring modern, jazz, and even ballet dances.

For those who danced regularly, this dance could be learned in less than a day.

The show began recording in May and started airing in July, with two months in between. Those two months were meant to ensure all trainees could perform the group dance well and to lay down some basics for those with weaker foundations.

This was also to prevent any claims from netizens of the contest not being fair because of varying quality levels among the trainees, or comments that the program didn’t nurture them and only the outstanding trainees would be chosen to debut as a group.

The four hours flew by, and after finishing her practice, He Jinxia went back to the rest area to wait for the recording of the program.

In the meantime, she briefly met with the trainees and the judges.
