Chapter Eighty-Eight: When the Selection Proceeds
Stand at a fork in the road, to the left or right, without waiting, unable to retreat.
There is no right or wrong choice question in life, but once you choose, you can't change it.
====================
At 9 o'clock, the selection meeting officially began. Because of the large number of people, there was no queue for the race like the open_casting_audition on the weekend, but instead chose to call the number. In this way, it is avoided that the situation will be affected by the large number of people and the long queue time. And for experienced players, you can choose the time to enter the company according to your own number, and you can have more time to relax and adjust.
Kim Tae-yeon's number is 81027, which means that she is the 27th player in the first 1000-person group of the 8th Youth BesT Selection Conference. This number is actually very good. It's not the players who are the most nervous and stressful to take on the court first, or the players who don't take the field until the end when the judges are already starting to get tired. The order of about 30 people ensures that the judges have enough energy to appreciate and review at that time.
This order is not the result of Kang Jae-hee's help in secret, but the credit of Kim Tae-yeon's teacher, the_one. Kang Jae-hee doesn't really know much about these. After all, in the field of music auditions, he has almost zero experience. Later, I learned that there were so many doorways, and it was also what Yu Yongzhen said to Jiang Jae-hee after talking to the_one on the phone once. Yu Yongjin will only tell Kang Jae-hee what he needs to pay attention to when he is a judge, and will not specifically tell him what he needs to pay attention to as a contestant. Because it's almost impossible to use it in the future.
And with the_one connections and relationships in S.M's company, it is relatively simple to help your beloved disciple get a better priority. Privilege has always existed, but many times, it's not so obvious. Of course, the most important thing is that you have the strength, so that you can have a bigger performance. is like Adou in the Three Kingdoms period, with the assistance of Zhuge Liang, the great god, he still can't help himself. So in many cases, one's own strength is fundamental.
Because of the large number of people, and it has been divided into different groups to compete. Therefore, there is no need to give the contestants full play to their singing, dancing, acting skills or personal skills like other auditions. For the audition of the singing group, you only need to sing, and generally speaking, there is only 1 point of more than 1 performance time, plus sometimes occasional comments and the like. About 2-3 minutes per person, quite efficient.
In addition to the direct promotion of very good or very bad direct elimination, there is also a part of the judges' opinions are not unanimous, especially the ratio of 2 to 2, then such a player will be regarded as a reserved player, and after the discussion after the game, it will be decided to go or stay, or they will be given another chance to perform to determine the final belonging.
Among the top 10 players, one directly qualified, 7 were eliminated directly, and 2 were retained. Basically, Park Xiangyeol, who is sitting on the far left, and Kim Chaohan, who is sitting in the middle, occasionally comment. Lee Jing-a said to one of the better-looking players who was retained to continue cheering, while Kang Jae-hee did not say a word to any of the players. At most, when Kim Chaohan asked, Kang Jae-hee said a few words such as "yes" and "I have no opinion".
Before the 11th player came on the court, Kim Chaohan said to Kang Jae-hee with a smile.
"Jae-hee, do you have to express your opinion once in a while, isn't it boring to sit there and not talk all the time? Your teacher has high hopes for you. You can't do that. β
Li Jinger also agreed. "Yes, as a judge, sometimes you have to say it when it's time to speak."
Jiang Jae-hee smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to say it, after all, no matter my age or experience, I am the shallower." I'm sure I'm going to learn from my seniors first. Of course, I'll definitely have the opportunity to review it later. Seniors, don't worry. β
This is a review, so Kang Jae-hee did not call these people according to their positions in the company, but called them seniors uniformly.
In fact, there are two reasons why he didn't speak, one is because the previous ten contestants really didn't have anything too outstanding, and the person who was able to pass was not very good, but he had certain singing skills, compared to the previous few players who were not only children's voices, but also couldn't even breathe, naturally more brilliant. That's how it passed. And the second reason is because of Li Jing'er next to him.
As the most junior one, he naturally sits on the rightmost seat, and the seat in the judges' room is also very particular, and the one in the middle is naturally the most important, and if there are two in the middle, then there is a saying that the left is respected in the eastern country. Therefore, Jin Chaohan sat in the left hand position in the middle, while Li Jing'er sat on the right side. This is actually nothing, but Jiang Jae-hee obviously feels that Li Jing'er is paying more attention to himself, which makes him a little strange.
And the judges that my teacher said before were generally three, that is to say, many previous drafts and selections, most of them were three judges, of course, there is no difference between three and four. But first, it is a professional problem, the people in the artist planning department actually don't need to do the audition stage of the review, the staff of this department are very sharp and sophisticated, otherwise it is impossible to successfully promote many artists and combinations in the company. And the person who came is also the flower of the department of the artist planning department, the head of the room, Li Jing'er.
Although Jiang Jae-hee doesn't know much about the work of the review, he is still very clear about these most basic truths. Li Jing'er would deliberately ask her opinion several times just now, which made Jiang Jae-hee feel a little strange.
But now is not the time to be puzzled or reflected. Ten players from the second group have already started playing.
The unevenness of the good and the bad is the biggest feature of the audition stage. The singing group is particularly prominent, and without the addition of acoustic accompaniment, voice and singing skills are the only criteria. Of course, those who dare to sign up for the singing group are people who are somewhat confident in their singing. But there are also some children who want to become famous, and when they are not good at several projects, they choose slightly better projects...... The dwarf picked a general among them, and in order to become famous, they fought.
For people who have a certain degree of self-confidence in singing, these people's songs can still be listened to more or less, the common problem of this kind of people is that most of them still rely on talent, and there are almost no skills, and most of them have no big problems in terms of pitch, at most they are not accurate when translating or treble, but this does not affect the result very much. Because unless this kind of person is very talented, most of them are eliminated. And there are some players who choose a little longer in their own special lengths, and the performance is wonderful.
The tone is the most ordinary, the incomplete pentatonic is only slightly brilliant, and the most classic is that none of the tones are accurate because of nervousness. This almost made Kang Jae-hee and the four of them cry.
What courage and talent it takes to do this. Some people sing and cry because they are beautiful, and now Jiang Jae-hee and the four of them almost cry because the other party sings too badly...... The difference is too great......
The sixteenth on the stage was a little girl, very petite, looking at her age should be only 13 or 4 years old, dressed very cute, and very cute. But it is not cute to sing...... The pitch is fine, but it's too nervous, a song that is not long, and it trembles from beginning to end...... Jiang Jae-hee's eyes were very good, and he could clearly see that the little girl's body had been trembling slightly.
After singing a song quickly, Park Xiangyeol was the first to comment: "You are too nervous today, although there is no problem with the pitch, but because it is too obvious to tremble, not only did you not hear the skills, but even the voice was completely distorted." β
The little girl stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm not usually like this, I didn't know why I was very nervous just now, but now I'm not nervous, I can sing it to you again." It's definitely better than just now. β
But before he could sing, he was rudely interrupted by Park Xiangyeol. "This is not a reason, if you are a star now, and you lose your voice at the scene because of nervousness, then do you think the media and fans will hear you say that you are too nervous this time, but it is not like this. Will the TV station staff listen to you and say that you will sing better next time, and give you another chance to sing again? "Park Xiangyeol has been responsible for the daily management and discipline of the trainees, and the black-faced uncle who is circulating among the trainees is talking about this guy. He's seen too much cute, pretty,
The handsome, tall trainees pretended to be cute, pitiful, and indifferent in front of him in an attempt to get past the punishment they deserved for violating discipline. Clearly, though, most of them failed.
"We still need to discuss your whereabouts, but obviously, I'm sorry to say to you." The black-faced Uncle Park coldly sentenced the little girl to death.
A little girl who is only 12 or 3 years old may cry when she is reprimanded by a teacher at school, and on such an occasion, she hears such words. Tears began to fall.
The result of the discussion was very fast, and it was basically decided when Park Xiangyeol and the little girl were talking. Jin Chaohan has been a judge many times, and he has seen too many such people, since it is a singing group, then the standard is naturally singing. However, Li Jing'er gave a different opinion. She thinks that this little girl's appearance talent is very good, and this cuteness is not deliberately produced from the inside out. Regardless of singing in a normal state, this appearance alone is enough to pass the test. Jiang Zaixi firstly felt that the appearance was not bad, and secondly, this kind of trilling made him sound very familiar, and he felt like he was listening to the sheep barking. So he thought it was funny.
The result was 2 to 2. It can be regarded as preserving the last hope of the little girl.
Jiang Jae-hee also commented for the first time, he flipped through the information in his hand and said: "Li Zhiyin, right, it can be seen that you still have a certain musical foundation, but you are too nervous, you have to overcome this problem more in the future, and your appearance is also very good, it would be a pity if you were eliminated because of nervousness." So we think you can keep your qualification for the time being, you can go back and prepare again, and then maybe let you perform again or qualify directly. Hopefully next time you won't be so nervous again, and remember, opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared. β
Li Zhiyin sobbed while wiping his tears: "Thank you, big brother, I will remember what you said, you are much better than the bad uncle next to you." After speaking, he glared at Park Xiangyeol. It's cute and tearful on the face to make this action, and it's full of cuteness. The little girl, who was still very naΓ―ve, did not know what the consequences of offending the judges were. Of course, such a cute little girl will still win a lot of extra points.
Park Xiangyeol didn't care, he still said expressionlessly: "I'm a bad uncle, so you pray that I won't be the judge again when you perform next time." Otherwise, I'll let you know how bad uncles are bad. β
Li Zhiyin was stunned when he heard this, and walked down a little ignorantly. In her 12,3 years of life, she rarely met such a person, and most of the people who knew her would be very kind to her because of her cuteness. Participating in such a large-scale selection made this lovely little girl find for the first time in her life that she had an expression other than a smile.
"Jae-hee, your comment just now is too soft, there are so many people, don't be too sympathetic, otherwise you are completely aggravating your workload." Park Sangyeol said to Kang Jae-hee.
Although it is not that the more people eliminated in the audition stage, the better, but if there are too many people who pass, the workload of the preliminaries will increase a lot.
"Well, I know what Director Park means, because I'm also a young man, so I know very well that the cuteness of that little girl just now is not pretending, but innate. Such a temperament is rare, so I believe she will go far. Kang Jae-hee naturally has his reasons. He's not a good person, he just thinks it's a pity that such a little girl is eliminated.
"Well, this little girl is indeed very cute, but I decided to reject it with a lot of determination, but fortunately she still has a chance." Jin Chaohan was also glad that the little girl still had a chance at this time.
"It's true that many girls are cute, but it's really rare to be as cute as the little girl just now. If she can maintain such a temperament in the future, under the packaging training, it will definitely attract the hearts of a large number of uncles when it is pushed to the market. Li Jing'er naturally considered it from her expertise.
The second group ended quickly, only Li Zhiyin was retained to be determined, and the remaining 9 people were eliminated.
The third group of contestants began to perform.
Kang Jae-hee, on the other hand, sat up straight.

Sequela...... My head has been dizzy......
