Chapter 168. To Attract Attention

Ding Shan was unbridled in front of the camera, exuding charm. Her bright and beautiful appearance attracted the hearts of everyone present. Who wouldn’t like to see beautiful things?

After a while, Ding Shan was a little tired. She tidied up her lengthy hair, took the warm water from Xiao Zhao, and sipped on it.

Xiao Zhao moved closer to the photographer. “How was it? The effect was pretty good, right?”

The photographer was beaming with joy. “Not only was it pretty good! It was simply amazing. I didn’t even need to do much retouching. Sister Shan’s condition is unbeatable. I made the right decision coming here! To be able to take such photos every day. It was satisfying!”

Xiao Zhao felt honored. “That’s right. The photographer who took the poster just now praised Sister Shan. I already feel that Sister Shan’s popularity will soar to unprecedented heights once the show airs!”

After saying that, Xiao Zhao was a little worried again, “No, I have to prepare in advance. What if sister Shan’s popularity is so high that people like Chen Tong, who can’t bear to see Sister Shan’s good side, will stir up trouble in a flustered manner? I have to make an emergency plan!”

Ding Shan stood at the side and blinked her eyes contentedly. She looked at Xiao Zhao like an obedient child. She appeared harmless, but her eyes were flickering with a crafty light.

Xiao Zhao’s worries would happen. However, Ding Shan did not want to think about these things right now. If she overthought things that had not happened, it would just be unnecessary trouble. At the very least, she would have to deal with whatever came her way.

Xiao Zhao looked at Ding Shan’s expression and shook her head helplessly. Sister Shan was exemplary in every way except that she did not fight for anything. As long as others did not provoke her, sister Shan always insisted on being kind to others. She was never willing to take the initiative to hurt others. Fortunately, after experiencing what happened to Ding Wan and the others, she learned to resist. Otherwise, what could she do?

As they were discussing, Yin Hui came over and asked, “Teacher Ding Shan?”

Ding Shan was in a good mood. She smiled and said, “Director Yin, don’t call me that.”

Yin Hui smiled and said, “I’m here to invite you to go and record. How is it? Are you done filming?”

Ding Shan lifted the hem of her dress and said as she walked, “I’m done filming. Is it time already? We were too engrossed in filming and didn’t notice. Let’s go quickly!”

Yin Hui winked and said, “Actually, it’s not time yet. I want you to check the camera’s position early so we can adjust it in time and guarantee that you’ll look beautiful.”

As it was a closed-door variety show recording, filming was done all day. Therefore, every instructor would be assigned to a follow-up group responsible for recording the instructor’s usual activities. Those talented artistes would be divided into dormitories; a follow-up group would record their daily training and life.

This model would be more enjoyable. Like the nurturing department, it would allow the audience to see the talent artistes learn and improve continuously from the first day of recording. Under the training of a few instructors, they would gradually become qualified artistrs and debut.

These talent artistes’ task was not only to perform on the stage but also to rely on their usual performance to make more audiences like them. Fortunately, in each round of voting, they would obtain more votes; only the nine people with the highest votes could indeed debut.

This was not a small challenge for the talent show artistes. There were about a hundred people in the beginning, so how could they stand out among these one hundred people? How could they make the audience notice them quickly by getting more footage and keeping it in the projection at the end of the broadcast? There was a lot of knowledge in this.

For those who came to participate in the talent show, who dared to say they did not have ambition? To make their debut, all kinds of eye-catching behavior would appear. Everyone would rely on their abilities to see who could step on to climb up.

This was a big attraction. Moreover, the audience was no longer as easy to serve as before. Many variety shows and TV dramas had already spoiled the audience’s appetite. Showing too much on purpose would instead cause them to lose interest. Only the hidden and apparent attractions would excite them as they keep coming up with a good show in their minds.

Therefore, there was a saying in the industry that it was impossible to participate in variety shows without acting skills. Many seemingly casual and evasive actions might be the angles and lines the parties involved had meticulously planned out. The smiling faces and quarrels in front of the cameras might also be the scripts that a few people had discussed.

This was also why Yin Hui worried about Ding Shan’s reputation and directly sent Xiao Liu to keep an eye on her.
