317. Selection system
Zhou Shuxiao and the others seemed to be very happy about this four-year plan.
Pillow Creek still hasn't figured it out, thinking that a girl group that takes four years to build should make those who are eager to make their debut feel panicked and anxious.
Especially Zhou Shuyao, she is 25 years old this year and has been practicing for 6 years. If it took another four years, she would be 29 years old.
Is there a precedent for an elderly idol who debuted at the age of 29 in Asia?
Yes, but very little.
Later, I learned that the reason why they were happy was because of CL's plan to focus on Asia and the world. They believe that a girl group with such a goal cannot have foreigners among its members, and if you want to look at Asia, the group must have Chinese members involved.
It is likely that there will be the same situation as EJ, with four or five Chinese debuting as members.
Compared with the debut probability of Koreans ten to one, or even more than ten to one, as a Chinese trainee of CL, the chance of debut in this girl group is very high.
You don't even need to compete with trainees from other countries, you just need to get things done within your own scope.
Pillow Creek has become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of many compatriots.
However, this exclusion did not last long. Teacher Zhao Rongzhen told her when she talked to her that high-quality talents from all over the world are here.
Five girls from Asian countries or overseas Chinese directly skipped the trial training and appeared in front of them, two of them are still fellow villagers, one is authentic Chinese, and the other is an overseas Chinese who grew up in Canada.
Pillow Creek is a little out of touch with the new things on the Internet, and she can only feel beautiful at first glance when she sees these girls. But the reaction from others was much more enthusiastic.
These five young girls.
A second-generation star, his father is a famous Korean actor.
He is currently studying at a foreign conservatory.
One is a very popular influencer on social networking sites.
One is the daughter of a wealthy Chinese businessman.
There is another one, I heard that it is the niece of Teacher Zhao Rongzhen.
The background of the top one is bullish, and as soon as they look at each other, they feel that they are rushing to make their debut. It seems that no matter how many people debut in the girl group four years later, there will always be a place for a few of them.
The faces of Zhou Shuqiao and the other compatriots were immediately not very good-looking.
Originally, they focused on dealing with only one pillow stream, but now there are two more people inexplicably, one of whom is the daughter of a wealthy businessman, do they dare to blatantly target others?
Pillow Creek is suspicious.
The next day, CL Company held a trainee meeting, and Mr. Zhao Rongzhen was present, and the content of the lecture was also this four-year plan.
Roughly speaking, all of CL's 82 female trainees participated in this debut audition.
The number of people who will make their debut has not yet been determined, but it may be 5, it may be 7, and if it is a little more, it may exceed 10.
No matter what the final number of debuts is, this debut ratio will definitely not be less than 1 in 10, and in the future, more trainees will join.
The first round of the selection competition is an age segment competition, with the age difference of 3 years as the threshold, and the trainees are assessed according to their age groups.
Because the minimum trainee is 14 years old, and the oldest is 26 years old. Therefore, the 82 trainees were divided into 5 groups of 14 to 16, 17 to 19, 20 to 22, 23 to 25, and over 25 years old for assessment, for a period of three months, once a month, and the points competition, the rules and quarterly assessment were the same.
Among them, the two groups 17 to 19 and 20 to 22 have the largest number of people, accounting for almost 70 percent of the total population, with an average of about 30 people in each group.
For the rest, the 14 to 16 and over 25 groups combined had less than 10 people.
This competitive ratio can be said to be very unfair. Not to mention the small number of people in these two groups, and there are no recognized top or A-level trainees among the trainees, it is not too easy to qualify in these two groups.
On the other hand, 17 to 19, known as the Devil's Group, included the two firsts in this tryout, as well as four of the five kicking trainees. There's also the 20 to 22 known as the Death Squad, where the minor is in charge, and who else can step on her shoulder.
"Why don't you arrange Minor and Pillow Creek to fight each other in a group?"
There are trainees who either joke or really viciously say such things.
"It's not the right age. Besides, the main dancer of the minor, the main vocal of the pillow stream, she may not be able to tear it up. ”
Pillow Creek took the group list back to the dormitory for study, and it had the names, ages, training years, and main positions of all the members of each group.
Among them, dance is the most, vocal is second, and rap is the least.
Pillow Creek focused on the trainees who just came yesterday, there were four of them in a group with her, only the name and age were written on the list, and the practice year and positioning were blank.
CL: What is this doing?
The funniest thing is this point system, the top five in each group, the first place is worth 10 points, the second place is 7 points, the third place is 4 points, the fourth place is 3 points, and the fifth place is 1 point.
Some groups don't have enough 5 people or just arrived with 5 people, isn't it possible to score points while lying down?
Pillow Xi looked at the list in his hand again, and there were actually 34 people in their group.
What does this make her say?
There was a knock on the door, and the people who came to knock on her door were the two domestic trainees who had just arrived yesterday.
They introduced themselves to Pillow Creek.
is called Mi Wei, the daughter of the president of a domestic skin care and cosmetics group, 19 this year.
Another one, Aimee, is an overseas Chinese who grew up in Canada, and is currently studying at a well-known foreign music academy, 20 this year.
Mi Wei was in a group with her.
"I couldn't believe it when I saw you before, but I didn't really know if it was you until I asked the other compatriots. Speaking of fate, when you competed, my family was still one of the title sponsors of that show. ”
Mi Wei seems to be a lively character, perhaps because of his family background, his speech is a little ungrounded. As for the other Aimee, she looked gentle and demure, and she didn't talk much after saying hello.
Pillow Creek kept a polite and polite smile and welcomed her in.
After a brief greeting, Pillow Creek asked, "Is your positioning confirmed?"
"Aimee is vocal, mine is still undecided. ”
Aimee is a vocal can be seen, and it is impossible for a girl of her temperament to dance or rap, let alone a student of a well-known music school.
"Do you have any good suggestions?"
Pillow Creek is a little blind, she doesn't know anything about the person in front of her, how to give advice.
"What did you do during the interview?"
"Interview? Why do I want to interview?" Mi Wei held his head high, "I told my dad that I wanted to come to South Korea to be a star, and then I came over when I received the notification letter." ”
Really, the capitalist world.
Generally, a girl with a good family background like this will suddenly have the idea of becoming a star, most likely in order to facilitate star chasing and better get close to her favorite idol.
Pillow Creek didn't bother to ask. Anyway, a girl like this who is still uncertain shouldn't spend four years on this.
Can it be said that it is not a cause for concern?
"I invite my compatriots to dinner tonight, you must come. ”
Before leaving, Mi Wei told her this.
"I'm ......"
"I heard from other sisters that you don't seem to have a good relationship with them. We are all compatriots, and in a foreign country, we should help each other. What's more, your illness should be ......"
"Got it. ”
Pillow Creek interrupted anxiously.
......
The location is still in the barbecue restaurant where she has been more than ten times, and she is the latest to be there, and as soon as she enters the door, she hears someone say:
"Ouch, we're tryout first. ”
Pillow Xi glanced at it, since Liu Qingqing was banished by CL because she didn't pass the trial, she really didn't have a person who could talk to these compatriots.
She was standing, and the others watched her stand.
Aimee, who had been quiet, moved to the side and gave her a seat.
"I'm in for a treat, so you're welcome. ”
Mi Wei may have said this politely, and immediately, someone grabbed the conversation and spoke.
"Really generous people just don't change. It's not like some people who pretend to be generous and say that they have a treat, but in the end they ask everyone to AA. ”
"Who? Why is this going to be the case? If you're going to AA, why don't you say it early in the morning?"
Pillow Creek doesn't know if Mi Wei really doesn't know or fake. Looking at the atmosphere of this dinner, you can roughly guess who they are targeting.
"So it's shameless. ”
When the beef made a sizzling sound on the grilling plate, Mi Wei raised his glass and said that he would like you to take care of him in the future.
Only Pillow Creek and Aimee next to him served teacups.
"I'm allergic to alcohol. ”
"I protect my throat. ”
Pillow Creek and Aimee spoke together.
Everyone ignored Aimee and put all their eyes on her.
"Pillow Creek, don't go too far. Last time you first came to us, you were ignorant, and now others treat you as a senior......"
Mi Wei observed his words and looked at his expression, and hurriedly spoke, "Forget it, forget about alcohol allergies." ”
"No, you don't know her ......"
Someone answered, "After taking a trial first, the more I don't know the sky." ”
"Except for the three of us, all of us here are seniors who have been practicing for more than a year, and it's not easy to take me for the first place in the trial. But I also want to ask, is there any senior here who has ever entered the debut selection of CL?" said Pillow Creek lightly.
She came in with an invitation letter from Zhao Rongzhen, and she was the first in this trial, why did their group of people who couldn't even touch the threshold of their debut sneer at her?
There was the sound of cups pouring on the table.
Pillow Creek looked down at the table and slowly spoke, "In the next group assessment, everyone has to work hard." ”
"Huh. ”
"People who weren't in a group with Minor should be happy, right? But it doesn't seem like I'm so lucky to be in a group. Am I not aware of the so-called high sky and thick earth, we talk about the assessment results?"
