After Transmigrating Into a Male Idol Talent Show

Chapter 50

The assistant director is currently in the adjacent room, watching with interest the real-time footage transmitted by the hidden camera.

Although the single-interview room seems to have no witnesses, in fact, cameras disguised and hidden from several angles are installed in various corners. The actual process to be carried out this afternoon is not a single-person interview, but a planned prank, simultaneously testing the mentality and character of the trainees in the "hidden camera" segment.

The process is actually quite simple. First, the trainees will be arranged to prepare for a single interview, witnessing a staff member spilling coffee on the camera. Then, the staff member nervously asks if they can pretend they didn't see it because the camera is worth six figures and they can't afford to replace it. The production team is not lacking in funds, and the focus is on the lack of concrete evidence. Perhaps choosing to pretend they didn't see it, or being unable to find out who did it, can just let the matter drop.

Is it helping the staff member conceal the accident or being honest but lacking empathy, causing the staff member to bear the consequences of an unintentional mistake and fall into financial difficulty?

The production team certainly won't risk using a real camera for the "hidden camera" segment; the camera is a replica one-to-one model, with a similar weight. An outsider wouldn't be able to tell the difference without careful inspection.

Essentially, it's just a prank, and at the same time, it observes the trainees' first reactions to dealing with such unexpected tricky situations, and how they choose to handle them.

This segment is not very friendly to the trainees because if they handle it poorly, it could lead to a negative impression, and they will likely be scolded unless they perform well.

The production team doesn't care if the trainees get scolded; what they want is the topic's popularity.

However, during the final editing, it will be edited in a humorous direction. But whether the audience will still hold negative impressions of the trainees is not a concern at this stage.

Once, the assistant director left a deep impression on Qin Lu, so he specially arranged for Qin Lu to go first, wanting to see how he would handle such a sudden tricky situation.

At this moment, the staff member was nervously explaining the situation, waiting for the trainee's reaction.

In fact, she was also very nervous right now. The tall young trainee looked at her with his amber eyes when he slightly lowered his eyes to look at her.

There was no staff member who didn't know Qin Lu, but this was the first time they had such close contact without the camera. Qin Lu was nearly twenty centimeters taller than her, and when he looked at her with his light amber eyes, the staff member couldn't think straight for a moment.

His voice was calm as he reassured her, "Don't worry, let me first check if the camera is broken."

The staff member replied, "...I just checked, it's already broken."

Qin Lu chuckled reassuringly, "I understand a bit of the principle, maybe I can fix it."

The staff member's pupils shook, "...!!"

That's right, Qin Lu is a top student. His resume mentioned that he had participated in the national robotics competition, so maybe he really does know a bit about this stuff?

The staff member didn't know these things, but Qin Lu seemed so confident in what he said that she instinctively believed him.

But... there was no such segment in the design! The camera was a fake model, very realistic from a distance, but if you looked closely, you might notice the difference. In the production team's plan, when the trainees encountered such a tricky situation, they should have been flustered, and if they were kind-hearted, they would at most start helping to find solutions, rather than being so calm and checking if the camera was working.
