Chapter 166: Trainees Appear
The first to appear were trainees in groups, backed by talent agencies. They all wore uniform outfits and walked side-by-side from behind the scenes to the stage.
The first batch to come out were three slightly chubby girls. As soon as they stepped onto the stage, they were shocked by the mountain-like, towering seats before them.
These seats stood on the stage in a "mountain" shape. The higher up, the fewer the seats. Furthermore, the higher and lower levels were distinguished by different colors: white, pink, and gold.
Pink was the second and third rows from the top, and white was the position below pink. The gold position was the most special; there was only one in the entire venue. It was located at the very peak of the mountain-shaped stairs, an existence resembling a throne!
The three girls looked at that seat with longing, then looked up and asked the director, "Can we sit in that golden seat? Or is it arranged for a specific person?"
"Anyone can sit there, as long as you dare!" a shout came from off-camera.
The three girls laughed and looked at each other, but in the end, they didn't have the guts to sit in that position. They didn't even dare to sit in the slightly higher pink positions, choosing instead a spot halfway up the mountain before sitting down.
After the first small group sat down, the second small group walked out. The clothes they wore were full of vitality and looked much more exquisite than the first group of trainees.
These girls also saw the golden seat at first glance, but none of them chose that position.
They all knew that the person who sat in that position would definitely receive the most attention from the entire venue and become the focus of this show... at least the focus of the first episode.
But if one didn't have the strength to match it, they would sooner or later have to come down in disgrace, which would only make them a laughingstock. The trainees who came out first didn't believe they had that kind of strength.
So, they honestly sat in the middle positions. It wasn't too low, so the cameras could easily capture them, and it wasn't too high, so they wouldn't become the target of everyone's scrutiny.
The scheming and maneuvering had actually begun the moment everyone stepped onto the stage.
Trainees were still appearing one after another. The girls who walked out had increasingly slender figures and more beautiful faces. They stepped with light and cautious steps, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation, arriving at their seats amidst the applause of the trainees who had already sat down.
As more and more girls came out, the entire stage became lively.
Although they were now competitors, girls are naturally envious and longing for beautiful things. Especially now, seeing those girls with gorgeous outfits and stunning appearances appearing one by one, many girls whose conditions weren't as excellent let out gasps of surprise.
Envy, inferiority, praise—the trainees very boldly voiced their inner thoughts at that moment.
Although they were all the cream of the crop selected from tens of thousands of trainees nationwide, and none of them were particularly bad-looking, there was still a gap between the elite, and this gap couldn't be made up for with any amount of makeup.
Every group of trainees would first face the stage and the cameras to introduce themselves, and then walk to their seats accompanied by warm applause.
Nearly half of the hundred-plus seats were already filled, but no one still dared to covet the highest golden seat.
And at this moment, a group of heavyweight figures finally appeared on stage.
The announcer's broadcast voice sounded again: "Next, please welcome the trainees from Yuehua Company!"
Hearing this company name, all the trainees in the venue immediately stood up and began to discuss in low voices.
In fact, every word of their discussion was recorded.
"It's Yuehua's! I didn't expect them to really come."
"With such a big spectacle for this national audition, Yuehua definitely had to come."
"Look, it's Galaxy Girls!"
Screams erupted among the girls. Galaxy Girls was once a quite famous girl group in South Korea. This girl group also had the most Chinese members and was quite popular in both countries.
Among the girls who appeared from Yuehua this time, there were two members of Galaxy Girls. They had moving appearances and tall figures, and as soon as they appeared, they became the focus of everyone's attention.
Long-term stage experience allowed these two girls to maintain a calm and confident temperament from beginning to end. After bowing, they walked up the stairs with great poise.
Under everyone's gaze, the one named Yue Wei among the two Galaxy Girls members walked straight toward the golden seat and sat down with a light smile.
The other one, Xu Yuelin, sat in a slightly lower position, which was also very high.
"She's so confident. Everyone else was afraid to sit there, but she just went straight up."
"After all, she's already debuted; her strength is right there."
"Besides those two, there's really no one else qualified, right?"
"It was so easy to sit there; if I had known, I would have gone."
"There's a battle segment later; you can go challenge her."
"Forget it, I was just joking."
On stage, strength speaks. When it truly comes to the competition segment, all the flashy things are useless. The trainees all understood this point, while also trying their best to adjust their mindset, hoping to perform at 100% of their ability later.
Domestically, there are two major girl group giants: Yuehua and Sennahe. One company does Korean-style idols, and the other does Japanese-style idols, each possessing a considerable number of fans.
This time for "Creating Girls' Generation," both companies sent their elites, and the production team very mischievously arranged for the two companies to appear one after the other.
Just as Yue Wei and the others sat down, the broadcast announcer's voice sounded again: "Next, please welcome the trainees from Sennahe Company!"
The trainees had sat down for less than a second when they heard the company name and stood up again to applaud and welcome them.
Although Yuehua Company has more big-name artists, the girl groups run by Sennahe Company are actually the best-run domestically at present. Every time they have a theater performance, there are a huge number of fans supporting them, and the fans' ability to spend money is super strong. Every "Idol Queen" who comes out of Sennahe is known for having a god-like face.
And this time, Sennahe sent Lin Yuxiao, last year's Idol Queen, who is said to also have super high popularity in Japan. Before Miss Luo Quan burst onto the scene, the title of "5,000-Year Beauty" had actually always been hers.
However, Lin Yuxiao herself was actually very grateful to Miss Luo Quan for taking this title away for her, because previously, she had been mocked quite a bit domestically because of this exaggerated title.
And today, when she appeared, those trainees who had heard of Lin Yuxiao suddenly felt that the title of "5,000-Year Beauty" wasn't particularly exaggerated.
She truly had a god-like face that was beautiful enough to be celestial, and the proportions of her features were impeccably exquisite. As soon as she appeared on stage, all the trainees at the scene were suddenly somewhat overshadowed. ===== CHAPTER 167 =====
