Chapter 169: Strict

"Beautiful bubbles, although they are a flash of fireworks

All your promises, although they are too fragile

Love is originally a bubble, if you can see through it

What is there to be sad about………………"

"Bubble" is originally a very difficult song to sing, with a vocal range spanning several octaves and many changes, sometimes low and sometimes high, which is a very big test for a singer's control.

And Miss Luo Quan's performance was completely indistinguishable from the recording studio. Such stable singing skills are actually very rare. A group of sound engineers in the background just stared at the equipment, because they found that their skills had absolutely no place to be used on Miss Luo Quan.

Miss Luo Quan was truly too stable. Her singing voice was full and transparent from beginning to end, and the timbre remained almost consistent from start to finish. Listening to her songs was completely a kind of enjoyment.

After the song was finished, applause and screams rose one after another in the venue, and the mentors also came to the stage together, facing the trainees on the stairs.

Under the director's signal, the trainees bowed to the mentors off-stage and said in unison, "Hello, teachers."

The mentors also wore smiles and nodded gently.

After the superficial work was done, it was time to get to the point. As the C-position of this show, of course, Jin Zihao had to host the scene:

"Congratulations to the 123 girls. Congratulations on standing out from 31,007 trainees from 912 companies and institutions and coming to this stage.

However, no matter what honors you have achieved or what experiences you have had, from now on, everything will be reset to zero.

You will begin a three-month trainee life. Three months later, only the eight people among you who are the strongest and most loved by the audience can successfully graduate and form the new-generation idol group "Girls' Generation" with mentor Wen Xia!"

The camera gave to Wen Xia, and Wen Xia immediately bowed to acknowledge, then said: "Although my status now is a mentor, every one of you here has a chance to become my teammate three months later. So, in the future, you don't need to be too restrained; just interact as equals."

The girls applauded, and at the same time, they began to have wild thoughts in their hearts.

Being teammates with Wen Xia sounds so tempting!

The camera returned to Jin Zihao: "I believe everyone has seen the different color divisions on your respective seats, right? Just like you thought, different colors symbolize different levels, and the golden seat at the very top is the highest level among all seats. Only the one with the strongest strength can always sit in that place.

Although you have already estimated your own strength and sat in the positions you think you can sit in, which position you should actually sit in still has to be evaluated by us mentors before it counts.

Without further ado, the first round of grading assessment begins immediately. The eight girls standing in the golden seat and the second row, since you dare to stand in that position, you must have strong confidence in your strength. Then, you are the first batch of trainees to accept the assessment."

As soon as this was said, the eight girls all looked a bit surprised. They didn't expect the test to come so quickly, and they were the first batch to go on stage.

The mentors had already taken their seats, and the girls who were called naturally didn't dare to delay, one after another going off-stage to prepare for their performance. The girl groups from Yuehua and Sennahe were both among them, but they weren't the first group to go on stage.

The first to go on stage was a temporarily formed group, three people, with very good figures. The trainees were all surprised by their white and straight legs.

First was a simple inquiry between the mentors and the trainees.

"Hello teachers, we are a temporary group."

Zhao Yining asked: "Temporary as in temporary?"

The girl standing in the middle quickly explained: "It's the temporary that means temporarily formed."

Wen Xia asked: "Then how is the tacit understanding of this group of yours? Do you have confidence in your teammates and yourself?"

"Have...?" The girl turned her head to look at her two teammates, and everyone laughed, but the smiles were full of lack of confidence.

Wen Xia and Jin Zihao frowned together, but Jin Zihao still wore a smile: "Since you dare to stand in that position, you must have some strength, right?"

The girl explained: "No, we just wanted to take this opportunity to touch that position. I'm afraid we won't have a chance later."

Miss Luo Quan raised her eyebrows and didn't speak. She felt that this group of trainees would probably be cannon fodder in a moment.

"Alright then, please begin your performance." Jin Zihao didn't talk nonsense anymore and directly let this temporary group begin their performance.

The result was not unexpected. Although each of their individual strengths was considered not bad, perhaps because they were a temporary group, or perhaps because they were a bit nervous about being the first to go on stage, the performance was very poor.

Lyrics were sung wrong, dance steps were not uniform, and toward the end, their voices even trembled. Seeing the mentors' livid faces, the three girls instantly felt like they had fallen into an ice cellar.

They barely finished singing the song. Other trainees on stage had already seen it clearly; such a performance could already be sentenced to death.

After the music stopped, the three girls themselves felt embarrassed, their eyes drifting and dodging, their faces flushed red.

The mentors started scoring first.

Jin Zihao only said a few words, and everyone nodded in agreement. The entire scoring process was very fast, which meant what was already self-evident.

Jin Zihao held the microphone and said in a deep voice: "The result of our discussion here is that the levels of the three of you... are all F!"

F is the lowest level, the inconspicuous gray.

Zhao Yining started to comment, trying his best to use a relatively gentle tone: "I don't know if it's because you were nervous or what, but I can see you still have a foundation in dancing, but the overall effect was very poor.

And the cooperation between each other was extremely unskilled, and the experience was also very shallow. You bumped into your teammate while dancing. At this time, you shouldn't look at her, but should continue to complete your own part.

So, in my opinion, your performance just now was completely failing."

The three girls nodded and thanked them.

Wen Xia added: "The stage is a very serious place. Don't laugh when you shouldn't. The giggling look you had just now is a very unprofessional behavior. I hope the trainees who appear next will not have such a situation again."

Jin Zihao continued to add insult to injury, his tone very severe: "This is a very cruel place. Out of more than a hundred people, only eight can debut in the end, so I hope you can take it seriously.

If you can do it, go up; if you can't, you can only go home. It's a very simple matter."

Once the words were out, the relaxed smiles of the trainees before had already disappeared without a trace, replaced by solemnity and panic.

Before coming, they had watched quite a few audition shows and thought this show was the same as those, more like an entertainment program, which could be carried out amidst laughter and laughter.

But the remarks of several mentors made them realize that this was a serious, strict trial, not a place where they could muddle through by being sloppy.

Some girls had already cried out of nervousness, shouting that they wanted to go home.

The surrounding trainees quickly comforted this childish girl.

This was just a small episode, and the evaluation assessment continued.

After the mentors set the tone for the entire show, the trainees who came up later were much more serious. Although they were all smiling, polite smiles and giggling were completely two different concepts.

The second group to go on stage was the highly anticipated trainees from Sennahe Company. They had actually debuted a long time ago and had long-term stage performance experience.

It's just that because they followed the Japanese-style idol training system, they didn't pay much attention to the basic skills of girl groups. Fans valued more the process of idols gradually growing up under their support.

Therefore, the strength of these girls might not be as great as their fame.

Before the performance, they still did a self-introduction as usual.

"Lin Yuxiao, you debuted at the Shanghai Sennahe Theater two years ago, right?" Aila flipped through Lin Yuxiao's resume and said.

"Yes, teacher."

Zhao Yining smiled: "She's quite famous. When she became Sennahe's Idol Queen before, the whole internet was praising her appearance."

Jin Zihao nodded: "She's quite beautiful, and her popularity on Weibo is also very high, almost 10 million, right?"

"Is the popularity that high? My Weibo fans are only a little over 2 million." Miss Luo Quan suddenly said this, which amused everyone.

Wen Xia was also sarcastic: "Everyone has tens of millions of fans, how come you're the one who fell behind?"

The mentors and trainees all knew how close Wen Xia and Miss Luo Quan's relationship was, and they hadn't been less publicly bickering on Bilibili before, which could be considered a famous "plastic" sisterhood in the circle.

Miss Luo Quan laughed: "That's true. There shouldn't be a mentor more miserable than me here, with fewer fans than the trainees."

Lin Yuxiao quickly comforted: "No, those fans of mine were bought. There shouldn't be as many real fans as you."

This directly made the whole venue burst into laughter. Everyone didn't expect Lin Yuxiao to look quite cold and goddess-like, but she was actually quite humorous.

This contrast was truly amazing.

After chatting, they returned to the topic. Under Jin Zihao's signal, the performance of the Sennahe trainees officially began.

Japanese-style idols have never been known for singing and dancing, always relying on their appearance to win. The appearance of these few from Sennahe was the undisputed leader among all trainee groups today. The mentors originally held very high expectations for them.

But their singing and dancing performance disappointed everyone.

It wasn't that it was very bad. Compared with the three in the first group, the performance of these trainees from Sennahe was undoubtedly qualified, and there was no problem with their business ability.

However, such a performance could only be said to be satisfactory. Compared with their reputation, it was truly impossible to match. Except for Lin Yuxiao's bright performance, the others just did what they should do, completely acting as her green leaves.

It must be said that Lin Yuxiao could become Sennahe's Idol Queen last year, not entirely relying on her face. Her business ability was also very outstanding, at least reaching the passing line in Wen Xia's heart.

You know, her passing line was much higher than the show's passing line.

Although it couldn't be called perfect yet, after all, there were still three months, so Lin Yuxiao's plasticity was very strong. ===== CHAPTER 170 =====
