I Struggled To Survive In the Girl Group - Chapter 81
Due to the low popularity of the second season of “sweetie101”, the program team made some changes to the competition system in order to turn the tide.
First of all, in the initial audition, as in the previous issue, directors of several well-known entertainment companies were not arranged to screen the contestants, but the current top female group “princess” in China was brought into the group to undertake the work of the judges.
This part of the audition will be edited into a special part containing the upper, middle and lower parts, which will be broadcast before the broadcast of the first episode.
The main purpose of this is to attract traffic through “princess”, so that this draft will not disappear silently at the beginning.
Sure enough, after it was announced that “princess” would join the group to be a judge for the audition, the discussion on the second season of “sweetie101” on the Internet suddenly increased, and the official blog gained 100,000 followers overnight.
“The judges for the audition are ‘princess’!! I read that right!!”
“Woooooo beautiful sisters are finally getting together, the fans are excited qaq!”
“I’m going to take a look at ‘princess’ too!!”
“‘Princess’ is back in the draft, Ye Qing is back.”
“The PD this time is Chu Ning. It is said that she is also a judge for the audition.”
“Hahahaha, why do I think Chu PD is about to become the sixth person of ‘princess’.”
“You don’t understand that upstairs, they’re chasing girlfriends.”
An Qing leaned on the soft seat of the commercial vehicle, brushing Weibo comments one by one. While watching, she whispered to Yu Tingbai and bit her ears.
“I miss it so much.”
At this time, it was still dark, and they were on their way to the training camp of the second season of “sweetie101”. In order to catch up with the trip, they got up early. As the destination gradually approached, An Qing couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.
Yu Tingbai smiled, “What do you miss?”
“I miss my youth.” An Qing thought for a while and said deeply, “Don’t you miss it?”
Yu Tingbai pressed her ear and whispered, “Gentleness is my youth.”
An Qing’s face became hot, and she protested in a low voice, “Pay attention to the occasion!”
Yu Tingbai responded with a smile and sat up obediently.
Shen Siqi held her mobile phone and watched excitedly: “Look, everyone said that my sister came to the draft just for me!”
Wen Ling reminded: “Captain Chu came earlier than you.”
Fans don’t know the inside story, but they all know very well. Although the official announcement time is close to each other, this variety show has set Chu Ning first, and then they are the few.
Shen Siqi stayed for two seconds, not discouraged, “Hey, then I can come for my sister, it’s almost the same.”
She felt that her relationship with Chu Ning was very close recently, so she almost confessed to her face. But I was so busy with work that I couldn’t meet Chu Ning. She finally got a chance this time, and she planned to take the time to consult with a few teammates to discuss this important matter.
I’m obviously the youngest, but I’m really embarrassed to be the first person in the group to be released.
The car drove smoothly and arrived at the destination in no time.
An Qing opened the car door, and the cold wind filled her clothes in an instant, making her shiver. Yu Tingbai followed behind her and helped her tie the scarf tighter.
The staff was already waiting at the door. Seeing a few people getting off the bus, they hurried up to greet them.
“Teachers have worked hard.” She showed the badge on her chest and introduced herself, “My name is Xu Lu, just call me Lulu. You can contact me with anything.”
Wen Ling nodded, “Don’t be so polite, just call your name.”
Xu Lu has long heard that although “princess” is popular, the members are very easy to get along with. When she saw it now, as the rumors said, she couldn’t help but feel a little more relaxed, and her tone became lighter.
“This part of the audition lasts for three days, and there will be multiple links including games and group teaching in the follow-up. The time is relatively fragmented. I know that everyone has other jobs, and it’s hard for everyone to run back and forth a few times.”
Yu Tingbai asked, “How many contestants participated in the audition?”
Xu Lu said: “We have already passed the initial screening, and there are currently 217 finalists. Shooting starts at 8:00 every morning, and each contestant’s personal presentation time is 3 minutes, and the commenting and scoring time is also 3 minutes. Such a person is about 6 minutes.”
An Qing figured it out, 6 minutes for one person, about 20 hours for more than 200 people, and only about 7 hours of working time per day on average. For their recent work intensity, this can be regarded as a vacation.
She was very satisfied, and confirmed with Xu Lu: “I work about 7 hours a day, right?”
“Almost, Teacher An Qing.” Xu Lu nodded. Although An Qing’s reputation is very good now, when she thinks of the other party’s strange operations before, she still uses honorifics subconsciously, for fear of offending the other party.
And in the last draft, many people said that An Qing likes to be lazy. Now, shouldn’t it be because of the long working hours?
Xu Lu thought about it, and then explained carefully: “There are still some interview sessions, which on average are less than 8 hours a day.”
“It’s great, I want to have a late-night snack!” An Qing was overjoyed. She started shooting at 8:00 in the morning, only 8 hours a day, which meant that she could rest almost all night! What a magical job this is! She has already planned in her mind what to eat at night after work is over.
Xu Lu almost suspected that he had heard it wrong, shouldn’t this be irony? However, after An Qing finished speaking, she patted her on the shoulder familiarly, “Lulu, you can just call me An Qing, don’t tell me, teacher, didn’t our captain say everything.”
Since the other party has repeatedly requested, it should not be polite. Xu Lu was completely relaxed now. She smiled and said, “Okay, there are many delicious restaurants around here. I’ll recommend them to you later.”
An Qing was instantly very happy, “It won my heart.”
***
The time was tight, and An Qing and the others didn’t have time to settle down, so they simply asked the assistant to deliver the luggage to the room, and they went directly to the audition site to shoot.
The venue for the audition was selected in a spacious and bright room, and the location of the entrance is an open space, which is convenient for the contestants to show their talents. Directly opposite the open space is a row of judges’ seats. There are six table signs on the table, with the names of the judges written on them. There is also a table for scoring.
When entering the room, a beautiful woman was already sitting on the far right seat. The woman wore an off-white short-waisted thin sweater with high-waisted jeans, showing her good figure at a glance. The long curly hair was scattered on the shoulders, and it glowed a beautiful honey-colored luster in the light.
Seeing a few people coming, the woman raised her mouth and got up to greet them.
“Sister!” As soon as Shen Siqi saw her, she jumped up in joy and hugged Chu Ning.
It’s been too long, she can’t take care of that much anymore, she doesn’t let go when she hugs Chu Ning, rubs it back and forth, like a clingy kitten.
Chu Ning was stunned for a moment, then patted her on the back lightly, and said with a smile, “Just miss me like that?”
Shen Siqi realized her gaffe, let go of her hand embarrassedly, and nodded with a blushing face.
The program team was also very excited, and several cameras shot the two people at once.
Chu Ning coaxed the shy little girl a few more words, and then greeted the others one by one.
Shen Siqi held her arm and said eagerly, “Sister, let’s sit together.”
Chu Ning hesitated: “Then the ranking of your regiment…”
It doesn’t matter to her, but she has been in a girl group, so she knows that some fans will tear up for ranking.
“It’s okay, our regiment doesn’t pay attention to this.” Yu Tingbai smiled and cued Wen Ling again, “Is that so, Captain?”
Wen Ling nodded, “It doesn’t matter, just sit down.”
Yu Tingbai said: “Otherwise, Wen Ling and Captain Chu will sit in the middle, with Yi Zhuo and Si Qi on each side. How about I sit next to Si Qi gently?”
Yi Zhuo nodded first: “Okay.”
As long as she can sit with Wen Ling, she will feel better at work.
She helped Wen Ling open the chair and greeted, “Captain, come and sit.”
Shen Siqi was also very satisfied, and immediately pulled Chu Ning to sit down.
Before the contestants came in, An Qing whispered to Yu Tingbai in a whisper, “C-seat sits on the edge with me, don’t you feel wronged?”
Yu Tingbai stretched out his hand to squeeze her face, “I know what to ask.”
An Qing blinked, revealing a sweet smile.
Xu Lu was very satisfied, and asked the photographer to take a little more interaction between several people before he said, “Are you all ready? If there is no problem, we will let the first contestant in.”
Several people nodded and slightly straightened their sitting positions.
After a while, the door of the room was knocked lightly a few times, and then pushed open.
A well-dressed young girl walked in. She put on delicate makeup, wore a small woolen skirt and over-the-knee boots, and her heels were a little high, and she walked with a shaky beauty.
Chu Ning frowned and said in a low voice, “If you dress like this, how will you dance in a while?”
Wen Ling thought about it and said, “Perhaps only singing?”
“No way.” Chu Ning leaned back and leaned back on the chair. She stared at the girl who had reached the center of the open space, and said lightly, “Siqi sang so well back then, she also danced in this segment. What’s more, the requirements are written that it is best to include two aspects of singing and dancing…”
“Hello, judges and teachers, I’m Bai Jingjing, the No. 1 contestant.” While several people were still discussing in a low voice, the girl took the initiative to introduce herself. She seemed a little nervous, with a timid expression on her face.
Although Chu Ning felt that this player was not very good, but adhering to the principle of caring for newcomers, she still said gently: “Let’s start.”
Bai Jingjing bowed, “The song I sing is “Good Weather”, please criticize and correct me from the teachers.”
“Good Weather” is a widely sung, catchy little love song. It’s easy to sing correctly, but it’s hard to be amazing.
An Qing originally thought that this would be a flawless performance, but as soon as Bai Jingjing opened her mouth, she was stunned, with only one thought left in her mind.
What is this singing about? The tune is gone.
She recalled that there was no such person in the information Ye Ming gave them. But to be able to stand here after singing like this, there must be capital behind it.
And for some unknown reason, she always felt that several teammates around her gave her a hesitant look, which seemed to contain a trace of sympathy.
After Bai Jingjing finished singing, she bowed again, and said pitifully, “My performance is over, please give pointers from the teachers.”
A few people present: …
The air was stagnant for a few seconds, but Chu Ning spoke first: “There is still a lot of room for improvement in your singing skills.”
Everyone could tell that she was saying that she didn’t sing well, but Bai Jingjing smiled tenderly as if she didn’t understand, “Thank you Teacher Chu for your encouragement, I will continue to work hard.”
Chu Ning: …
Who encouraged you?
Wen Ling said, “Is there no dance part?”
Bai Jingjing: “I’m sorry teacher Wen, dance is so difficult, I haven’t learned it yet.”
Seeing her like this, Chu Ning didn’t bother to talk nonsense any more and greeted others, “Let’s rate it.”
The items for scoring include typhoon, singing, dancing, etc. Chu Ning wrote down a few 50 points. But she also knew in her heart that if Bai Jingjing’s backstage was tough enough, her low score would be meaningless.
An Qing picked up the pen and was about to write a number around the passing line, when she heard Bai Jingjing suddenly cue her: “Mr. An Qing, I sang the song you participated in the audition before, could you please comment?”
An Qing: …?
The audition song, isn’t that the original lead singer?
She finally realized where everyone’s sympathy for her came from just now.
