Chapter 167: Mentors Appear

~11 min read 2,015 words

"So beautiful!"

"The Idol Queen has appeared!"

"This aura is simply amazing."

"I heard she's the one with the most votes among all of Sennahe's past Idol Queens."

"This face is killing me; I'm about to fall in love with her."

Having a face that looks down on the entire venue is just that powerful. Lin Yuxiao appeared even more poised than Yue Wei and Xu Yuelin, her face full of a confident smile.

If the Sennahe trainees had come out before Yuehua's, the person sitting on the golden throne would probably have been Lin Yuxiao.

When Lin Yuxiao climbed the stairs, she was indeed very concerned about the seat Yue Wei was sitting in, her beautiful eyes fixed on Yue Wei. The latter was not afraid at all, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly as she watched her, as if saying: This position is mine, no one can take it away!

Lin Yuxiao just smiled slightly, and what she wanted to say was also expressed very clearly: Whether it's yours or not, let's wait and see!

Afterward, she sat on the edge of the second row, far opposite Xu Yuelin's position.

Filming the show to this point, the smell of gunpowder finally began to appear.

The director's team wanted exactly this effect. How could a show be popular without explosive points?

If the trainees were all like well-behaved babies, being gentle, respectful, and yielding to each other, then this show would have no gimmicks. The director's team arranged for the trainees of the two major companies to appear one after the other with exactly this thought in mind.

The result was as expected. The two companies had no sense of impartiality; Yue Wei and Lin Yuxiao stood on opposite sides from the very first moment, and there would certainly be no shortage of clashes in future episodes.

After these two groups of trainees, the scene returned to its previous harmonious and friendly appearance. Every time a group of trainees came out, everyone would stand up and applaud.

Among the groups that came out next, there weren't many with real strength. Of course, this strength is relative to those trainees in South Korea. In any case, they were the cream of the crop selected from tens of thousands of girls in China with girl group dreams, and the quality was far beyond several levels of similar programs.

Whether it was their figure or appearance, they were all top-notch choices. Although everyone looked loving and affectionate on the surface, calling each other "besties" quite affectionately, they must have still harbored quite a few thoughts of comparison in their hearts.

As for those trainees whose strength was a level higher than most people, such as Yue Wei and Lin Yuxiao, they were currently sitting firmly on the fishing platform. Besides each other, they didn't see anyone appearing who could threaten their status.

Soon, the girl groups had mostly come out. The ones that followed were trainees as individuals and amateurs who hadn't signed with any company.

They were actually the real "strength faction" selected in this audition. Without a few tricks up their sleeves, they would have long been drowned in the army of tens of thousands of auditioners.

The first person to come out was named Wang Yu. She had no talent agency, but her resume made all the trainees in the venue let out gasps of surprise.

"2015 International Jazz Dance Youth Group Runner-up!"

"She's a master; she's booked as the dance lead."

"This figure is simply amazing; you can tell she's great at dancing just by looking."

"Everyone is so strong."

Seeing this strong opponent, Yue Wei and Lin Yuxiao both sat up straight and began to feel nervous.

And the large batch of individual trainees who came out afterward erased their confidence and reserve as "girl group seniors" one by one.

The resumes of these individual trainees were each worthy of being called gorgeous:

"Signed singer with Sony Music, has released best-selling albums!"

"Signed singer with Universal Music!"

"Top student from Berklee College of Music!"

"Top student from Carnegie Mellon University School of Music!"

Every time they heard these introductions from the broadcast, the trainees on stage would let out surprised shouts. They would also repeat the companies these individual trainees belonged to or the schools they attended, their words full of envy.

This audition didn't just have Chinese people participating; many foreign trainees also appeared in the ranks of the promoted trainees. There were participants from Thailand and Malaysia, and their styling, appearance, and strength were all truly not bad.

And the last ones to come out were two amateurs from Japan and South Korea.

"Yanagisawa Junko, graduate of Red House Dance Studio!"

"Kang Yoon-ah, six-year trainee at SK Company!"

The two walked out side-by-side, and there was another burst of gasps in the venue.

It wasn't just their resumes; Junko and Kang Yoon-ah's images were also the reason for the trainees' gasps. They completely crushed the vast majority of trainees present, and only those sitting on the top level could be mentioned in the same breath.

Especially Kang Yoon-ah, whose temperament even overshadowed Lin Yuxiao!

Lin Yuxiao and Yue Wei looked at each other, and they immediately had a plan in their hearts.

A formidable enemy, this was an out-and-out formidable enemy!

Junko and Kang Yoon-ah walked up the stairs under the gaze of the trainees. The two girls came from Japan and South Korea, the two countries that know how to bow the best, and they didn't bow less to everyone along the way.

Perhaps because they were both from foreign lands, Junko and Kang Yoon-ah found adjacent seats and sat down.

Afterward, the trainees were all taking deep breaths.

The trainees had finished appearing, and next, it was the mentors' turn.

"Next, please welcome the 'Creating Girls' Generation' idol mentors!"

"Whoo————"

"Clap clap clap!"

Cheers and applause surged like a tide, and the atmosphere of the entire venue was instantly ignited.

The lights dimmed, and the trainees immediately stopped, staring at the stage with full concentration.

Two handsome guys slowly appeared in the center of the stage via a lift, and they started with an explosive rap, making the atmosphere restless.

It must be said that the strength of an idol group has never had anything to do with nationality. It's not that only Koreans can be good idols. Jin Zihao, Zhao Yining, and Wen Xia, these idols who are thriving in South Korea, used their own actions to tell the world that Chinese people can also do idol groups well!

It's just that this requires a systematic teaching process and the individual's hard practice. There are plenty of trainees in China willing to endure hardship, but professional companies and a benign environment are truly too few.

The girl group industry in China is in its infancy, while South Korea has long since completed commercialization and started mass production.

However, even so, as long as you have talent in this area, it's not that there's no hope of success at all. The mentors on stage are examples.

As the saying goes, when the rooster crows, the world turns white. There haven't been few boy group audition shows held domestically before, and there are countless trainees from home and abroad, but compared to the combination of Jin Zihao and Zhao Yining before them, it's completely the difference between dust and mud.

Come to think of it, they hadn't performed together for nearly a year, but after such a long separation, the tacit understanding between them hadn't diminished in the slightest.

Their movements, lyrics, and even expressions could almost be completely consistent. They were also from a top Korean boy group, and their looks were even more impeccable. Even the trainees in the seats let out excited screams for them. Looking at their flushed faces, there were probably quite a few trainees who were fans of these two.

Because the mentors only needed to show a little bit, the two male mentors only sang the main and sub-chorus once, and then gave the stage to the mentors behind them.

Immediately following was Wen Xia. Her performance was the highlight of the mentors' opening performance segment because the song she performed was the theme song of the entire show, "Gee (Oh my!)". PS: For the Chinese version, please listen to the SNH48 version!

This was a farewell gift Miss Luo Quan gave her a long time ago when she left Tokyo, originally intended for her to use on this show.

After the production team heard the demo of this song, they immediately decided to make this song the theme song for "Creating Girls' Generation."

Although the lyrics of this song lost quite a bit of charm after being changed to Chinese, it still remained a top-tier brainwashing girl group song.

The girl group-style songs released domestically before had lyrics that were very sweet and cloying, while just listening to the melody of this song made one feel itchy in the heart. The production of this song was entirely handled by Miss Luo Quan, and the singing was also completed by her and Wen Xia together, using individual strength to make up for the flaws in the lyrics.

In order to perfectly restore the kind of charm of "Gee" from her past life, the two "Ah" and "let's go~~" at the beginning of the song were performed by Miss Luo Quan herself.

Wen Xia imitated this "professional" singing segment for a long time but couldn't get the flavor. On the other hand, she was also a bit unable to let go. After all, Sweetgirl followed a youthful route, and she really couldn't learn this kind of sexy singing method.

In the end, Miss Luo Quan still managed to get it done. For her, whose singing skills reached S+, these were simply not problems at all.

At that time, there were not only Wen Xia and Miss Luo Quan in the recording studio, but also many music producers from Penguin Entertainment. After the recording was finished, everyone felt their bones go a bit soft.

Miss Luo Quan's expression remained as usual. After all, she was a professional singer, and this could be considered part of her job. Moreover, this part of the song had to be sung this way to have the feeling, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

It was Wen Xia who first couldn't hold it anymore, hugging Miss Luo Quan's shoulders and laughing until she bent over: "Luo... Luoluo, I didn't expect you to look so serious usually, but you're so secretly sultry. These two calls were too wanton, right?"

"Wanton?" Miss Luo Quan didn't think so. There are countless songs in South Korea that are more wanton than this. What she remembers most deeply is a girl group called Stella. There was a song whose MV couldn't even be described as wanton. Even in a country as open as South Korea, it was still labeled with a restricted rating. One can imagine how shocking the content was.

"I'm being professional!" Miss Luo Quan didn't explain much, and after saying that, she didn't speak anymore.

Saying it wasn't awkward, but in fact, Miss Luo Quan still felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart. Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal, and it was soon thrown to the back of her mind.

And now on stage, this song was played, and accompanied by the soul-stirring singing, Wen Xia began to sing and dance.

A group of trainees tried their best to let out screams to cooperate with Wen Xia's performance, and their bodies also swayed along with the brainwashing and dynamic music.

Before coming, they had already been told that the song Wen Xia was performing later was the theme song of this show, and also the title track of their first album after debut!

Previously, they were all looking forward to how the title track would be, and now hearing it, it was indeed extraordinary!

With such a good song, why worry about not being popular? ===== CHAPTER 168 =====
