Draft: A New Career For Chinese Young People

This year is called "draft year" in China: it's only in Shanghai, the two draft TV show of Dongfang TV.

"Good man" and "I type SHOW" ranked the top two in ratings by over 5% and 4% respectively.

In the whole of China, the Super Girls is also maintained at around 1% (the top two shows China's audience rating of around 1.5%, while CCTV's "Dream China" basically maintains ratings of more than 1%) - don't forget, this year's red Chinese version of "American Idol" has not yet started this year's finals.

Do you win career opportunities?

There is a common feature of these draft shows, that is, the activity time is very long: from the beginning of this year, the audition will not get better until July and August, which means that the faces of the players who are familiar with the competition should at least swam for more than half a year on the TV screen.

In this long draft stage, these twenty year old young people take part in competitions, receive training, and show their faces in large and small business activities.

But neither read nor work.

In fact, this is not entirely true: in reality TV shows, which have become mainstream entertainment programs in China's TV stations, draft shows are already attractive to young people.

Last year, Li Yuchun, an example of Chengdu girl's overnight success, is attracting more and more people to join the Nuggets.

This year, Li Yilin, a fourth year college student, did not immediately join the job search force. He joined the students in the "refueling".

The draft of "good man" was selected as the top 5 in Chongqing.

Although he was eliminated in the first round of the national finals, the draft experience was a contract for him to win the idol drama "slam dunk master": he played the match with Jed Lee, a famous male model in China.

They are trying to get a famous express train through the draft, and even those who already have feet in the entertainment circle are starting to get excited.

Tan Weiwei, a female singer in Sichuan, went to Vienna's golden hall to sing songs, recorded folk songs, and acted in television dramas, but she never had a national reputation.

After joining Super Girls this year, she not only immediately owned her own national fan organization "vitamin", but also won the super girl championship in Chengdu with 240 thousand short messages.

Maybe her competition is unfair to those ordinary girls who have no experience in performing arts, but in a sense, they can verify the hidden rules of the draft industry: take their own needs.

Under specific draft rules, TV stations and contestants complete the redistribution of wealth and reputation.

How big is the risk of running into the draft?

Of course, there are always people who are dissatisfied with the rules. Therefore, after every match, the "shady story" is even more noticeable than the result itself.

"Super Girls" and "come on!"

Questions about players' canvassing and buying tickets, and the midway resignation of director Zhou Zhishun of "Dream China" have made the industry less simple in its infancy.

Most of the contestants who try to get ahead are doomed to failure.

In the "refueling!"

Jiang Yang, a popular Beijing player who failed to enter the top 10 in the national competition, admitted that it was "uneconomical" to take part in the competition. He resigned as a fitness coach for the competition but failed to win the championship.

Most of us can not escape the fate of oblivion on the stage of the contest.

Every industry has the possibility that investment and return will not be directly proportional, but in the draft industry, this may be magnified infinitely -- how many overnight fame opportunities are behind the danger of losing everything.

However, it still can not stop the footsteps of the other competitors. For some Chinese young people, taking part in the draft or winning in the draft has become one of the few goals in their lives.

In this year's Super Girls competition in Shenyang, a loyal audience of some talent shows found a familiar face, Wei Jiaqing.

In the draft of "seven fairies" and "my type SHOW" a few years ago, she declared her exit as a popular player, becoming the topic of the time.

This time, after winning only fourth of the Shenyang division, you can even expect that Wei Jiaqing will be seen more than once in all kinds of talent shows.

Behind Wei Jiaqing, there are tens of millions of such obscure and busy groups - they rush to and fro, spend a lot of time, money, and enthusiasm for canvassing for themselves, but can not even get an audition lens in the TV.

But for a dream of fame and prosperity, at least these young people think that these efforts are worth it, to a certain extent, it is a miniature of the Chinese people's desire to succeed.
