　　"I hope that one day, the outside world will know that my hometown is not only because of the'cliff village', but also my music." On the morning of February 1, in the practice room of the ETMTC Vigor Xingrui Academy of Performing Arts in Chengdu, Sichuan, from Zhaojue, Liangshan Prefecture Ji La Shilin, a Yi nationality girl in the county, is under the guidance of her teacher, revising her single composed based on the development and changes of her hometown.

Gila Stone Forest is a “trainee” who has recently entered the industry and spends his winter vacation time to concentrate on special training here.

　　"Practice" is a term used by the performing arts and entertainment circles for newcomers that are being trained, which originated in Korea and Japan, which are known as "star-making factories".

Being able to be a "trainee" and "debut" in South Korea and Japan was once the goal of many Asian teenagers with "idol dreams".

With the continuous development of the entertainment market in Mainland China, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and even Chengdu are becoming a new world for "trainees" to pursue their dreams.

　　In Gila Stone Forest's view, the path leading to the dream stage of "trainees" is a road full of unknown thorns. Not only does it require more than the number of people of the same age to work, strong resistance to pressure, but also the courage to accept failure.

　　"I used to think that'trainees' meant singing and dancing. After I came, I realized that we spend 60% of our time practicing basic skills, which is far from the glamour on the stage." Gila Shilin said, after receiving training for "trainees" , She is still preparing for the art exam.

　　There is no shortage of people on the road to chasing dreams.

When dozens of new "trainees" like Gila Stone Forest sweat, the "trainee" Qu Baiyu from Xinhua Beiyi Culture Co., Ltd. is getting closer and closer to his dream.

He was selected into Tencent's "Creation Camp 2021" at the end of 2020. This is the second time he has participated in the men's group variety show after Youku's "Youku Name".

　　Although he has millions of fans at home and abroad, Qu Baiyu still shouts "cruel" when it comes to the extremely high elimination rate of the "trainee" variety show.

"Actually, I don't recommend young people to choose this industry lightly. If they choose, they must communicate clearly with their parents. In the case of tiredness, the support of their family members will be particularly important."

　　Chengdu, an important city in western China, which is building the "World Music Capital", has continued to mature in related industries, attracting more and more "trainee" companies to take root, providing a good soil for the growth of dream chasers.

　　"Where there is a market, there is an industry. In the past, the Korean men's team would also attract Chinese players in order to expand the Chinese market." Tong Yana, general manager of Xinhua Bayi Culture Co., Ltd., said that ten years ago, a MV was shot and produced in Chengdu The cost may not be as good as flying to South Korea. Now the hardware and software facilities for music production in Western China are constantly improving. There are dozens of music institutions near the Sichuan Conservatory of Music, including many well-known international studios.

　　Every year, thousands of young people try to enter the ranks of "trainees", but those who truly become "trainees" and "debut" through variety shows are still rare.

Tong Yana revealed that the company receives dozens of self-recommendation letters from teenagers every month, but none of the more than 50 "trainees" signed by the company comes from this. Most of them are selected by company staff who go to colleges and universities. "This job talent is as important as hard work."

　　According to Lin Xiaoqing, head of the training section of ETMTC Vigor Star Academy of Performing Arts, the "debut" opportunities provided by China's well-known video platforms are far less than the number of "trainees" in the country.

Although the market for “trainees” in China is relatively saturated, the audience’s demand for high-quality music is increasing. Therefore, in addition to the traditional singing and dancing training, the college has increased the training of “trainees” in music creation this year. "Practices" provide more choices.

　　"The'debut' is only the beginning of the acting career of the'trainees'. It is the works that can really support them." Luo Tong, the founder of Polar Bear Culture Communication Co., Ltd., who is engaged in training for "trainees" in Chengdu, said that every year, " "Practices" successfully "debut", and every year there are "trainees" that are forgotten and eliminated by the market. Cultural literacy determines the breadth and depth of the "trainees" looking at things. Only by pursuing dreams while balancing study and life can they create real Living works.
