Chapter 7: The chances are slim
Don't look at the 57 people who were selected in the end, but He Yue is sure that at least more than half of these 57 people will be familiar with their respective existences, and there are too many girls in Tokyo who are dedicated to the entertainment industry, and many of them must have met on other occasions before.
For example, horipro's artist selection, Toho Cinderella's selection, Xingchen Star's selection, and even Nogizaka 46 some time ago, as well as HKT48's selection......
He Yue can see that many girls, especially many girls sitting in the front row, are obviously familiar with each other, which makes her seem quite lonely when she sits at the end and no one cares about her, this is no way, after all, she is the first time to participate in this kind of audition, and she is not familiar with anyone.
Speaking of which, AKB's selection dance is not so important, in fact, the singing is similar, and there are many vocal idiots among the members of the 48 series, which are about to become stalks, what death singer Natsuki Kojima, Ice Queen Oba Mina, and Erisara Asaga Mizakura are all vivid representatives.
The real thing that matters in the singing session is the dialogue between the judges and the participants after the singing, don't look at just one or two sentences of Q&A, which can greatly affect the opinions of several judges on you, and the unspoken rules of AKB's selection are that any one of the judges nods, and the candidates can enter, so in the dialogue session, you only need to please one judge.
The girls entered the room in groups of ten and began to sing, and He Yue's sixth group of seven people finally got the opportunity to enter after more than an hour later, when the first fifty people had finished singing.
Of the other six people with her, He Yue didn't know any of them.
Obviously, none of them made it through the final selection to become a member of AKB, and they didn't even pass later.
Entering the final link of the selection, He Yue finally met Akimoto Yasu, there were still a few people sitting beside Akimoto Yasu, among whom she knew Togasaki Tomonobu and Kitagawa Kenji, and a middle-aged uncle who looked familiar, He Yue thought about it carefully, this should be Yasushi Watata of AKS, as for the third Shiba Kotaro of the Trident at the beginning of AKB's establishment, He Yue didn't see it.
Seven people were placed to sit head-on in front of the final judges, and then No. 51 stepped forward and the singing session began.
In the end, he didn't know any of the other six people who came in with He Yue, and it was obvious that these girls had failed to pass, or even if they passed, they were brushed down before the final disclosure.
No. 51 sang AKB's "I Want to See You", and the girl's singing voice was still crisp and loud, in He Yue's eyes, it was no problem for this girl to pass the audition.
The problem was after the girls finished singing.
After the AKB audition and singing session, Yasu Akimoto and other judges will ask the participants a few questions as usual.
"Do you have any of your favorite members in the AKB?"
"What do you think is so appealing?"
"What do you think is your biggest advantage if you join AKB?"
He Yue can see that it doesn't matter what you answer in these few questions, the main thing that the judges such as Qiu Yuanyasu look at is your mental outlook, and working hard with serious children is what everyone wants, on the contrary, if the judges think that you are not so serious, then unless you really have amazing potential, it is basically impossible to pass the selection.
When He Yue was observing Qiu Yuankang and them, the other side was also observing them.
In fact, this thirteen-term student selection has come to the end, in fact, through the previous dance review, Yasu Akimoto already has a general opinion on who to choose and who not to choose.
The vast majority of potential members are concentrated in the top 30, as for the latter half, the lower the ranking, the smaller the chance, and in the end, these seven or eight people, the judges know that many times it is just a show, and these members have almost determined that there is no type that can be selected.
For example, this member of 51.
She sings and sings quite well, but the dance is a complete novice, if it's just a novice, the key is that according to the feedback of the dance teacher, when the dance is reviewed, she is lazy and not serious, in this kind of selection, there is only a total of less than an hour of dance rehearsals, plus the review link, so much time will be lazy, you can imagine what kind of motivation she will have after being selected.
A member like this would never have been selected.
After completing the singing review of No. 51, No. 52 appeared, followed by No. 53 and 54......
The last seven people, almost all of whom have various "fatal flaws", are absolutely impossible to pass unless they bring a huge surprise to the judges or leave a very vivid impression.
In the end, the review came to an end, and No. 57 He Yue came to the karaoke machine and stood up.
Yasu Akimoto and others also turned the information to No. 57.
"He Yue, height 164, born on October 26, 1997 (13 years old), Chinese-Japanese mixed race, born in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, no dance experience, no experience in the entertainment circle, father is deceased, parents are 183,170 tall, mother has good facial features, excellent appearance, no middle-aged signs of fortune......"
This is He Yue's basic situation, the situation of those parents, from the second selection, the staff's survey, these surveys are actually very important, height and appearance depend largely on genetics, a girl who is in puberty, how tall she can grow is not her current height but the height of her parents, and even not only height, including appearance, whether she will gain weight in the future, can also be seen from her parents.
Therefore, there must be parents and other family members when the selection is made, and it is not just about the consent of the family, and some companies will even ask parents for photos of their children's grandparents.
In addition to the basic information, there is also the previous selection of He Yue in the document.
"In the dance review process, although I have no experience, I work hard overall, my sense of rhythm and coordination are very good, and my height is a hard flaw, and I can't rule out the possibility of growing to 170+ in the future......"
For the judges, He Yue's height problem is too big.
Although since the establishment of the AKB Group, it is not without members of 170+ height, but every time this kind of member is added, it is the result of many considerations, and the members themselves are also extremely attractive.
Especially in the 13th phase of the team, there is already a tall member who will inevitably pass, and in the case of possible thinning her attention, He Yue's passage may be even smaller.
Many judges drew an X for He Yue in their hearts, and almost no one was optimistic about He Yue's selection path.
Seeing that the girl was ready, Kenji Kitagawa, who was in charge of hosting, picked up the microphone and said, "First of all, introduce yourself." โ
"Hello everyone, my name is He Yue, 14 years old, born in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, mixed Chinese and Japanese. โ
Akimoto Yasushi looked up, and this self-introduction was not bad.
The voice was steady and generous, and it didn't seem very nervous in the midst of so many people.
They didn't know that the so-called desirelessness was rigid, and He Yue didn't particularly care about whether he could join AKB now, which is why he behaved so easily.
"If you're ready, start singing. Kitagawa Kenji said.
After He Yue took the karaoke jukebox and clicked it a few times, the music started.
Well?
Many people are a little surprised, this girl is very good at using her own advantages.
"Where would I be if I hadn't met you...... How is life going, and should life be cherished......"
"ๅนณๅกใ ใใฉ,ใ ใใใใใใ,ๆฎ้ใฎๆฎใ,ใใฆใใงใใใใ......"
Teresa Teng, "I Only Care About You...... And it's sung directly in bilingual.
