The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

"My Sassy Girl" became a hit this summer. Chinese people, or rather young Chinese women, are proud of beating their boyfriends.

I had only heard that women in Jingzhou Province and Bashu liked to beat their boyfriends, but with the popularity of this movie, a "barbaric trend" swept across the country.

The sublimation of public opinion has also led to a steady rise in box office revenue. The highest box office period for Chinese films is during the Spring Festival. There was only one movie, "Nezha", which swept the Chinese film industry by relying on the box office revenue during the summer vacation. Now, another movie, "My Sassy Girl", has been released. Enthusiastic and obsessed fans on the Internet have uploaded their experiences of rewatching the movie in the cinema. It is currently known that a female fan has watched it as many as twenty times.

The theme song "I believe" is also sung in the streets and alleys. It can be heard in almost every supermarket and shopping mall. Another place is on campus, in various universities, junior high schools, during physical exercises or any other leisure time.

"Introduction to Architecture", which was unveiled half a month after "My Sassy Girl", was not released quietly. Darabona Films had done a long period of public relations and publicity before the release. During the first week of its release, the main creative team traveled to ten cities in seven days to canvass for votes.

Moreover, the Douban score of "8.1 Architecture" is not low. In the first week of its release, the audience gave it a score of 7,5 (which later dropped to 8.3 points), which is almost the same as the points of "My Sassy Girl"; but the box office is completely different from "My Sassy Girl".

In the eyes of sister-in-law Kuang Yurou, this "Introduction to Architecture" is more worthy of recollection or deep empathy. The description of the youthfulness, ignorance, shyness and purity of a woman's first love makes her feel very involved, and she also appreciates the temperament and decisiveness of the adult heroine.

"Between these two movies, I feel that 'Introduction to Architecture' is more to my taste, but I didn't expect the box office gap to be so big." Kuang Yurou, who was sitting in a coffee shop to rest and enjoy the air conditioning, felt a little regretful and took a sip of the iced American coffee she ordered.

Sister-in-law and Mother Xia came to Yancheng and stayed for a whole week.

Mother Xia makes soup and cooks for Zeng Jingyi every day, making people almost think that she is not a strong woman in the business world but just a maid.

The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughters-in-law is also very good. They go shopping arm in arm every day. Although they are photographed by reporters, Xia Haoyang solves the problem with his money. As for the photos occasionally taken by fans, Zeng Jingyi's belly is not noticeable anyway, so she doesn't take it seriously at all.

"I also like watching "Architecture 101", but "My Sassy Girl" is also very good. I think they are about the same." In front of Zeng Jingyi was a glass of juice, and it was still at room temperature. Although she herself felt that it was more comfortable to drink cold juice in summer, she could also understand why Mother Xia gave her some room temperature juice.

Mother Xia did not discuss the movie, but said with regret: "Jingyi, my sister-in-law and I may have to go back to Vancouver tomorrow. Are you really not going back to Vancouver to take care of your pregnancy?"

Zeng Jingyi smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry about me. You've seen it all this week. My appetite is still good and I eat a lot every day. The main reason is that I still have some work to do. A TV series is about to start filming and I'm the leading actress, so I have to join the crew for a while."

"Do you still want to join the crew? You'll be busy all day, can you guarantee your meals? And I heard that everyone in the crew eats boxed lunches, how can they be nutritious? Can't we put this play aside for now?" Mother Xia was not very happy.

"This play was also written by my senior brother, who said it was created specifically for me. He turned down some of my other work, but he suggested that I complete this script. Moreover, this play was also invested by our own company. Everyone in the crew, from the director to other staff, are old acquaintances, so they don't have to worry about me." Zeng Jingyi explained.

"You are all adults with your own ideas. I can't interfere with your decisions about work, but you must remember to eat more and eat nutritious meals. No, I will arrange for a cook to come to Yancheng to take care of your lives for this year."

"That's really not necessary, Mom. We can take good care of ourselves, don't worry." Zeng Jingyi smiled.

"Okay, since you don't think it's necessary, then forget it." Mother Xia seemed a little bored.

"Mom, the cloak in that store we just passed by really suits you and makes you look very elegant. Why don't we go back and buy that cloak later?" said sister-in-law Kuang Yurou.

"Does that cape really look good on me? What clothes can I pair it with?" Mother Xia's attention was diverted.

"Actually, it would go well with what you're wearing today, but I remember you had a green plaid shirt, and it would definitely look good with that."

"Really? Then let's go back and try again later?"

"Right now, Jingyi, have you had a good rest?" Kuang Yurou winked at Zeng Jingyi.

"Well, I'm OK, anytime." Zeng Jingyi understood immediately and took advantage of an angle that Mother Xia couldn't see to express her gratitude to her sister-in-law Kuang Yurou.

Kuang Yurou just smiled. These things were just child's play for her.

This week, Zeng Jingyi is accompanied by Mother Xia and sister-in-law every day, while Xia Haoyang has already started working on the production of Xinan TV's variety show "Competition 100".

There are 100 candidates qualified for the final round, but the number of applicants has now exceeded 500, so a round of auditions before the actual variety show production is inevitable.

500人中取100个名额，5:1的比例跟公务员的录取比例86:1；高考211录取率20:1；注册会计师的通过率33:1，那确实高的多，但其实难度也接近高考一本录取率的5.5:1.或者跟注册会计师的单科通过率4.8:1的比例接近。

It must be pointed out that not every applicant needs to pass the first round of auditions. Several large music companies have more or less recommended several contestants to directly enter the main competition, and this has been notified to several mentors and has been tacitly approved by the mentors.

But then again, the fact that these professional music companies are willing to waste their time and effort to directly recommend them actually shows that these contestants have certain abilities and it is almost certain that they will be shortlisted for the 100-person list based on their own abilities.

Some people are curious, if your ability can guarantee you a place in the finals, why do you have to use private channels to confirm your admission? Isn't it better to just participate in the auditions openly?

Because no matter what kind of competition it is, it will always be affected by people's subjective emotions. The mentors have a veto over the students. What if a talented student sings a song in a style that the mentor doesn't like?
