After selecting the songs, the trainees have less than fifteen days left, and within these fifteen days, they have a lot to accomplish.
Separate group leaders, shoot their respective C-position dance videos and then vote to determine the C-position, single recording and course inspection, etc.
Pei Yourong originally thought that these trivial things were almost their last tasks in this program, but after everyone practiced for a few days, the program team suddenly informed them of something.
"You're lying, right? Going to Neon? At this time?!"
In the dormitory, Zhang Yuanying squeezed Pei Yourong's arm, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Yuanying, why are you pinching me so hard?"
"Unnie, let me see if you are dreaming."
"But it seems that pinching yourself is more effective, right?"
"But I'm afraid of pain."
Zhang Yuanying smiled and took her hand back. When she saw Pei Yourong stretching out his hand towards her, she understood that Ernie wanted to flick her forehead again.
So she squatted down quickly and quickly hid behind An Youzhen.
"Ah, do you think this is safe?" Pei Yourong put his hands on his hips and tried to look vicious.
But Zhang Yuanying was not afraid at all. Instead, she felt that such a graceful Ernie was a bit cute.
Seeing that Zhang Yuanying could not be frightened, Pei Yourong finally couldn't help but laugh. She put down her hands and suddenly turned around before running to pack her luggage.
"I'll let you go this time!" She said harshly.
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
It's said to be packing, but actually the trainees don't have much to prepare.
Since it was a day trip, Pei Yourong only needed to bring some necessary items.
"It seems good to wear a hat." Pei Yourong opened the closet and thought to himself.
But she brought more than one hat to the dormitory. Just like the watch, although she was very decisive when wearing it, when it came time to choose one to go out, Pei Yourong was as difficult to choose as ever.
Just as Pei Yourong was hesitating, she felt something under her arms.
She lowered her head and saw Cui Ruina leaning over.
"Oh Mo! What are you doing, Unnie! Scared me!"
"You are so timid."
Pei Yourong felt that Cui Ruina deserved a beating when she pouted her lips and said this.
But she didn't dare to treat Cui Ruina like she did to Zhang Yuanying.
Choi Ye Na will be very crazy when she falls into madness.
Jin Caiyuan was often tortured by her.
What's more, Pei Yourong's Kuromi was kept with Cui Ruina like a hostage, so she became more respectful of the elderly and caring for the young.
"Unnie, so what are you doing?"
Pei Yourong was stunned and was squeezed away by Cui Ruina.
"Is this a good hat?"
"Oh? The bracelet is so beautiful, what brand is it?"
"Yeah, it suits me very well!"
Cui Ruina kept talking to herself, as if she was the owner of the wardrobe, while Pei Yourong standing behind her looked like a shopping companion.
Pei Yourong, who was listening next to him, always felt that something was not right.
"Unnie, why are you so skilled?"
"What proficiency?"
“Is my cabinet Ernie always opened?”
"Nothing."
…
The trainees took a flight to Neon.
The destination is a large venue in Tokyo.
Japan and South Korea are the two most active places for idols in Asia. The idols cultivated in these lands are essentially different in style, characteristics, etc.
Most people who are familiar with Korean idols will have a special feeling towards them - even though the routes Korean idols take, the concepts and styles launched by the company and even the strength of each group are very different, people sometimes feel that Korean idols are very different. Industry is like an assembly line.
Tight and complete.
Since its birth, this assembly line has been working day and night, and today countless glamorous male and female idol groups have been born.
The neon idols are fundamentally different from this assembly line.
If Korean idols rely on outstanding appearance and outstanding strength as the main means to please idols, then the secret of neon idols to win over fans is the "girlfriend feeling" that makes people feel close.
Of course, this does not mean that all Korean idols are particularly outstanding in strength and appearance, nor does it mean that they rely solely on their appearance and strength to make a business. Korean idols will also use variety shows, autograph signings, etc. to show off their personalities to get closer to their fans. distance.
But Neon Idol has gone the extra mile in bringing people closer together.
Putting aside the "underground idols" with a lower bottom line, the 48 and 46 series idol girl groups in Neon, which are "sky idols", have their own unique operating methods.
First of all, there are various championship programs. This variety show is derived from the unique graduation system of neon idols. It is the unique secret skill of these sky idols to give fans a sense of "cultivation".
Unlike South Korea's drama series that are currently broadcast on various online channels, Neon Sky Idol's title series can be officially broadcast on TV stations at a fixed time.
Most of the time, these neon girl groups only graduate without disbanding, and their programs are regularly broadcast every week. Therefore, the number of episodes they have won since the broadcast has now reached an exaggerated number. For example, variety shows and radio programs under AKB or Nogizaka.
In addition to the "sense of development" that the program can bring, another move of Neon Idol also has the same function.
That was the handshake meeting.
Fans can get the opportunity to get up close and personal with their favorite idols by purchasing CDs, which not only boosts album sales, but also increases the bond between fans and idols.
The handshake event is similar to a book signing, but very different. Just like the name, the handshake event actually involves shaking hands. Many fans bought the CD because of this. The included life photos and photo cards are almost the same. But Handshake fans don’t care about that most of the time.
Another difference is that signings sometimes require a lottery, but you can usually participate in handshake events by purchasing CDs or collecting coupons, and CD sales are huge numbers such as tens or millions, so popular idols The handshake party held by the group will be attended by many fans.
Those top girl groups even mobilized tens of thousands of people for their graduation handshake parties.
Just hold a person.
And now, after Pei Yourong and the others arrived at Neon, what they came to was a handshake meeting.
"PD48" is the first joint Japanese and Korean talent show, and both parties enjoy great popularity in their respective lands. It is not surprising that the Korean program team has made some operations to cater to Neon fans.
But Pei Yourong, who was at the handshake meeting, felt very strange.
"Ernie, have you done this often before?"
"You mean shaking hands?"
"Uh-huh."
Backstage at the venue, Pei Yourong finished putting on her makeup and quietly asked Miyawaki Sakura, the understanding sister.
"There will be handshakes to commemorate the release of the album, and sometimes there will be handshakes during live performances. In short, it's quite frequent." Miyawaki Sakura explained patiently.
Among the twenty trainees in the finals, eight were Neon trainees, and these eight trainees arrived at the handshake meeting one day earlier than the Korean trainees.
"Do you want to shake it all? With the fans?"
"Of course, people are spending money. If the response is not good, fans will post complaints, and it may become 'flame' later."
In Miyawaki Sakura's memory, several seniors were in trouble because of "salt correspondence".
"That must be very tiring, right?"
"Must be tired."
"But what if a bad person among the fans comes to shake hands?"
"Bad guy, are you talking about Ozuke?"
"Ah yes, Osuke."
Pei Yourong knew this word, and it probably had the same meaning as "anti".
"There is no good way, I can only pray that my luck will be better." Miyawaki Sakura thought for a while and replied.
"Yeah, everyone is the same." Pei Yourong sighed with emotion.
While the two were talking, the person in charge of the program, who was leading the trainees' activities this time, gave the order for everyone to assemble.
Soon, twenty trainees gathered together.
"You should all know about it when you are about to go on stage to dance "PICK ME", right?"
"Inside~"
"There are two more things to announce. First, Korean trainees who can speak Japanese can speak freely at the meeting. Trainees who are not very proficient but want to speak please hurry up and prepare. Second, C will be here later. The positions are different from those in the show. The positions of trainees Pei Yourong and Miyawaki Sakura are reversed, with trainee Miyawaki Sakura taking the C position."
After the person in charge finished speaking, he left time for the trainees.
Everyone is naturally familiar with "PICK ME". Even if he doesn't practice it often, Pei Yourong can now dance very easily.
After practicing their moves, everyone walked onto the stage wearing their program uniforms.
Miyawaki Sakura served as the MC and introduced the trainees to the arriving Neon fans.
Pei Yourong, like everyone else, waved vigorously to the fans, and their sudden arrival seemed to surprise these fans, so when waving, Pei Yourong saw many of them widen their eyes.
She also heard someone calling her name, and then Pei Yourong felt that she seemed to be more popular than she thought.
“We have received all your enthusiasm!”
"Has everyone heard the show's theme song "PICK ME"?"
"Now, please let us bring you a special stage of "PICK ME"!"
After Miyawaki Sakura finished speaking, the prelude of the song started playing. This theme song, which was initially performed by more than ninety trainees, is now sung by only twenty girls.
Passing through time, the two original candidates for the C position of "PICK ME" - Pei Yourong and Miyawaki Sakura - have now completed their position swapping.
Miyawaki Sakura stood in the center, as if she was supposed to stand there. Under the corner of her eyes, there were many faces cheering for her, and in her mind, there were also many memories flowing in uncontrollably.
That pack of tissues, those pieces of paper with lyrics written on them, that hug.
As the song comes to an end, Miyawaki Sakura's memories also come to an end.
When "PICK ME" was first staged, Miyawaki Sakura was standing next to Pei Yourong at the end.
After switching positions, Pei Yourong was now standing next to Miyawaki Sakura.
At this moment when she was supposed to be doing the ending action, Miyawaki Sakura suddenly stretched out her hand. The stagger that Pei Yourong gave to her a few days ago was now returned to Pei Yourong.
After "Rumor", the trainees made another major mistake at the end of their stage.
In the eyes of the audience, Pei Yourong was pulled into the arms of Miyawaki Sakura.
In Miyawaki Sakura's memory, the outline of the coat became clearer.
On the stage, she sniffed lightly.
It's still the familiar smell.
It smells so good.
