Chapter 170: Strength
PS: Thanks to Jieqi for my reward of book coins!
The final assessment level also came out after a brief discussion.
Sennahe five-person group: Lin Yuxiao A-level, the other four: two B, two C.
It can be seen that the mentors' grading was relatively strict. Don't be angry at the two who got C; their performance was actually not much worse than the other two, but they were a whole level behind in the final grade.
Seeing the famous Sennahe only have one A, the trainees all let out gasps of surprise:
"This is too strict, right?"
"Dancing so well, just one A?"
"I think if I went up, I wouldn't be worse than those two Cs?"
"It's over, it's over, I'm going to become F."
Hearing the discussion coming from behind, Jin Zihao turned his head to look at the girls, his handsome face gloomy like water:
"Do you think this selection standard is too strict?"
How would the trainees dare to say yes? One by one, they shook their heads like rattles, their hair swinging.
"I tell you, this show is called 'Creating Girls' Generation,' and its purpose is to select the strongest girl group in China. In the future, Wen Xia will form a group with you.
I'm not afraid to tell you, mentor Wen Xia has always wanted to compete with those girl groups in South Korea as a Chinese girl group, and you are the group of people most likely to help her realize this dream. This is also the reason why we are so strict.
I know, some of your foundations might not be good, and there is a gap compared to Wen Xia's previous teammates, but there is no gap that cannot be made up for through hard work.
The most important thing is that you must have confidence in yourself. People without confidence are not qualified to be Wen Xia's teammates!"
Feeling that Jin Zihao's tone was a bit heavy, Zhao Yining quickly came out to smooth things over: "The competition of girl groups is very fierce. Now we are strict with everyone, actually, it is also for your own good. Don't think that we are sitting here talking without back pain. But before we debuted, the bitterness we suffered is something you might not even be able to imagine.
When we have time later, we can talk to you about these things properly. But from now on, I hope everyone must be psychologically prepared and treat this assessment, and even the entire show, as a matter to do, and strive to do it well."
The two mentors played the bad cop and the good cop, but what they said were all heartfelt words, and the purpose was only one, which was to let the trainees understand why they came here and what they were going to do.
The effect looked quite good. The trainees finally understood completely and shouted in unison: "Yes, teacher!"
The assessment continued. The third group to go on stage was the six-person group from Yuehua. The mentors sat upright. This group should be considered the group with the strongest recognized strength in the entire show.
"Hello teachers, I am Yuehua trainee Yue Wei."
"I am Xu Yuelin."
"I am..."
After the six people took turns introducing themselves, they stood still and looked at the teachers with smiles.
Those who come out of big companies are different. These six trainees had a qualitative difference in mental outlook from other trainees. They were all sent to South Korea by Yuehua to receive professional training, although except for the two who had already debuted, the time was not very long.
But after all, they were trainees who came back from South Korea, so their business ability must be unquestionable.
This point could be seen from their confident smiles.
"Yue Wei and Xu Yuelin should have been practicing for a long time, right?" Jin Zihao asked.
Although they were both fourth-generation idol groups, he wasn't familiar with Yue Wei and Xu Yuelin. Instead, he had cooperated with Chu Xiang many times and had met her on variety shows in South Korea before.
Yue Wei nodded: "I started going to South Korea to be a trainee in the first year of junior high, and I have been a trainee for almost five years until I debuted."
Xu Yuelin said: "I went in the second year of junior high, and it's been almost four years."
The answers of the two made many trainees on stage completely unexpected. One for five years, one for four years. You know, they were all girls around twenty years old. Excluding the ignorant childhood and elementary school, Yue Wei and Xu Yuelin had almost invested their most precious youth time into the practice of girl groups.
"Went to be a trainee so young?"
"Five years, I have only lived for less than four five-years myself."
"No wonder they can debut. I only started being a trainee last year."
……………
Jin Zihao held the microphone, turned his head to look at the surprised trainees behind him, and said: "Since we are talking about this, let me tell you about the bitterness we suffered in South Korea.
When we trainees went to South Korea, we were basically thirteen or fourteen years old, that is, when we were in junior high school. Wen Xia's age when she entered the industry should be the oldest among the girls in our batch. She was one of the few who graduated from junior high school. At that time, she was considered highly educated among us."
Everyone burst into laughter. Wen Xia pretended to be angry: "How come I feel like you are mocking me?" As she said that, she raised her hand and pretended to hit him.
Jin Zihao quickly dodged to the side: "No, I'm praising you for your high education."
Aila smiled and looked at Luo Quan beside her: "The real top student is sitting here."
Luo Quan just smiled without saying a word.
After playing around, Jin Zihao continued: "After going to South Korea to be a trainee, our daily rest time did not exceed nine hours. We had to get up very early every day to practice dancing and singing, and there was a big exam every month.
During the exam, the company boss sat in our position. They were not like us, who would still joke with you. They just stared at you with a straight face. As long as you didn't perform well, you wouldn't have to come after today."
The trainees covered their mouths in surprise. This was even stricter than they had imagined.
"We were actually okay. After all, the four of us who came from China were in the same dormitory, and our appearance crushed most people, so there was basically no possibility of being eliminated." Speaking of this, Jin Zihao looked a bit proud.
Zhao Yining smiled: "This is starting to act cool."
Jin Zihao glanced at him sideways: "What do you mean act cool? It was originally!"
The trainees on stage booed, and the boos were constant.
Jin Zihao continued: "The environment for boys is actually not that bad. Girls are the ones where the competition is the most intense. Next, let Wen Xia talk."
Wen Xia took over the conversation: "Let's just say a very simple example. When I entered the trainee dormitory, there were ten people in one dormitory, plus me, eleven. In two years, all eleven of these people left except me.
As far as I know, there were more than seventy reserve trainees for Sweetgirl at that time, a full eight large dormitories, and only five people debuted in the end."
The trainees at the scene were shocked when they heard this.
Finally, Jin Zihao said sternly: "So, don't think that we are very strict and cruel now. Compared with true strictness, our degree can only be considered playing house."
Everything that should be said has been said. Trainees who can listen naturally have hope for further progress. By this point, everyone basically dismissed the idea of wanting to muddle through.
On this stage, you can only speak with strength! ===== CHAPTER 171 =====
