"I choose Tzuyu."
Chi Jingyuan's tone was natural, concise and concise without any foreshadowing. It sounded as if choosing Zhou Ziyu was a normal and natural thing.
"Hmm...huh?"
Two completely different voices came in succession. Park Zhenying nodded knowingly at first, meaning that your choice of Lin Nayeon was fine and I agree with it. After a second, he suddenly reacted and exclaimed in surprise, his narrow eyes He even opened his mouth a little and turned to look at Chi Jingyuan. The meaning in his eyes was clearly visible: Did I hear wrong or did you say wrong?
In fact, there is no need to comment. You can basically tell at a glance who of the two is better on stage. And you praised Lin Nalian for so long, but in the end you actually chose Zhou Ziyu, who was too lazy to talk.
Are you serious?
Zhou Ziyu, who was originally confused and sad, and whose vision was slightly out of focus, suddenly heard her name. She paused for a moment, then quickly came back to her senses, and couldn't help but look in the direction of Chi Jingyuan, who had been holding back just now. His mouth opened slightly uncontrollably, and a pair of big questioning eyes flickered, looking dazed.
"Yes, I choose Tzuyu."
Feeling the gazes from different directions, Chi Jingyuan seemed very normal. He did not respond to Park Jinying's gaze and instead looked at Zhou Ziyu who was directly in front of him. Seeing the stunned girl, he blinked lightly and casually She pursed her lips and said, "Isn't this show selecting idols? It's not selecting singers."
Not paying much attention to Chi Jingyuan's somewhat cunning and perfunctory answer to Park Zhenying, Zhou Ziyu's eyes collided with the other person's eyes in the air, looking at Chi Jingyuan's clear and gentle eyes, although there was no language. Communication and hints, but she seemed to understand the true meaning of Chi Jingyuan in an instant.
Your stage performance is indeed not very good. Your singing skills are average and off-key. Your performance is ordinary. Your body is stiff and your expression is nervous. You are awkward in the typhoon and you can't control the style of this song. I'm embarrassed to tell lies to criticize you. You are really far worse than Lin Nayeon. .
But, I just choose you.
Who told you to be Zhou Ziyu?
After reading the other person's eyes, Zhou Ziyu stared blankly at the figure on the judging table for two seconds, his mouth slightly opened and he didn't know what to say, and then a strong emotion exploded in his body. This emotion is like a warm current, or like a sweet stream, flowing along the veins throughout the body at an unimaginable speed, and I feel that my whole body seems to have become much softer.
The loss and sadness in her heart just now melted away as quickly as thin snow being illuminated by the warm sun, and disappeared, leaving only a faint trace for her to remember in the future.
She really wanted to say something at this moment, or smile brightly at him, but it was a pity that she was on the stage at the moment.
"..."
Park Zhenying was obviously shocked by Chi Jingyuan's explanation. He looked at Zhou Ziyu again with a critical eye, and then asked tentatively: "Jingyuan, do you think Ziyu has the potential to be an idol? "
"Inside."
Nodding, Chi Jingyuan didn't say much. To be honest, his obviously biased choice was actually quite inappropriate for a judge.
Look below, Lin Nalian, who was smiling beautifully just now, whose face was praised by him for being confident and expectant, turned dark instantly. After licking her lips, she pursed them stiffly, her expression suddenly became forced, even though She quickly managed her expression, but anyone could tell that she must be in a bad mood. She was probably very angry and dissatisfied at the moment.
What does 'choosing an idol' mean? 'Didn't you just praise me for being like an idol and a star?
Although the other trainees sitting on both sides of the stage below the stage did not speak, their expressions and eyes were obvious. They seemed to be a little surprised by Chi Jingyuan's choice, and were very confused about the judging scale of Chi Jingyuan.
Only a few people who knew some inside information and knew that Chi Jingyuan and Zhou Ziyu were very close had clear eyes. For example, Yu Dingyan looked at Lin Nalian with pity in his eyes, seeming to feel sorry for his good friend being treated unfairly. Feeling.
For example, Ming Jingnan glanced at Zhou Ziyu first, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan above with a somewhat complicated look. This obvious bias should make people very dissatisfied, but she did not feel this way. Somewhat vaguely envious.
"Is that so?"
After observing Zhou Ziyu below for a while, Park Zhenying nodded lightly and didn't worry too much. Anyway, as a judge, Chi Jingyuan is free to choose whoever he wants. Maybe it will cause even greater controversy after it is broadcast like this. As for the discussion, the final decision rests with him anyway.
"The two judges chose Nayeon and Tzuyu respectively. My words..."
Picking up the microphone, Park Jin Young began to comment very professionally, but the focus was still on Lin Nayeon. He criticized and praised Lin Nayeon. He clearly pointed out the shortcomings and shortcomings and said it very well. He was obviously very optimistic about it. she.
Zhou Ziyu only added a few sentences, mainly focusing on her lack of strength.
There really isn't much to say. Her song selection and stage show her shortcomings, especially her singing skills, vividly.
As expected, Park Jin-young’s final vote went to Lin Na-yeon, but just now she became nervous and uneasy, worried that she might capsize. Lin Na-yeon, who lost first, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed and saluted. Thanks to PD nim for being fair and impartial, he then took off the name tag symbolizing 'major status' from Zhou Ziyu's neck under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The two exchanged positions, walked to the 'Minor group' wearing high heels and sat down. Zhou Ziyu noticed the many looks coming from the side but didn't pay too much attention to it. After sitting quietly for a few seconds, he suddenly realized that even if he fell, The 'poor students' group was at risk of being eliminated in this period, but I didn't feel too disappointed or sad.
Perhaps the worry and loss that existed originally were overshadowed by other emotions. At this moment, for some reason, she felt very calm in her heart, mixed with some touches and small joy.
She couldn't help but look up at Chi Jingyuan, who was smiling and chatting with Park Zhenying without looking at her at all, and wrinkled her nose slightly.
Why are you doing this...
…
"The singing is really good, but the appeal is much weaker than that of Typhoon. The comparison between the two makes it look a bit awkward. The overall stage lacks some of its own characteristics... Why do I feel so unconfident? I obviously have great strength. It’s so strong, I think it could be more lively by smiling more or adding some gestures or expressions.”
Facing the two people who had just performed below, Chi Jingyuan looked at Park Chiyuan on the right and commented with a little pity.
The two people performing in this group are Park Ji-won and Yu Jeong-yeon. The latter Ji Kyung-won knows Kong Seung-yeon's sister, but they are not familiar with each other and can at most say hello, so he immediately stopped talking about it. The bias has become a lot more serious and objective.
This Park Ji-won's singing skills are quite good, but maybe because of his appearance or other reasons, he always gives people a timid feeling. Compared with Lin Nayeon's confidence and clearness just now, and even some artificial expressions and gestures. It seems like two extremes.
As far as this stage is concerned, he can sing well, but he is not suitable for being an idol.
After seeing Park Chi Yuan bow lightly to express his gratitude, Chi Jingyuan looked at Yu Jingyan next to him: "Did you laugh just now?"
"Yes." Yu Dingyan burst out laughing when he heard the words and nodded generously.
"Jingyeon's stage style is quite good, very star-like... However, she doesn't imitate the original singer's expression very well, and it doesn't suit you very well. It seems a bit exaggerated, but because of her confidence, she adds some stage charm. I can only Said that sometimes victory or defeat is determined by a sense of self-confidence.”
Chi Jingyuan looked at her and said a few simple words, then pointed at Yu Dingyan and laughed suddenly: "By the way, the hair style is good."
"Ha, Kang Sang Mita." After hearing this comment, Yu Dingyan couldn't help but smile and salute to express his thanks.
The competition between these two people is more obvious. Park Ji-won's singing skills are good and he can reach high notes. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, he always has a feeling of sadness. He doesn't look like an idol or a star at all, and has a strong sense of amateurness. Yoo Jung-yeon didn't sing very well this time, but she was very confident and relaxed when performing, and her aura immediately distanced her.
It can only be said that for idols, strength is really not the most important thing, charm is.
"I choose Yan."
"I choose Yan."
After Park Jin Young finished his review, all three people chose Yu Jeong Yeon with the same vision. Park Ji Won of the 'Poor Student Group' failed the challenge.
The next round is very interesting. Instead of two people playing solo, there are three people playing 1V1V1.
When Li Cailing challenged Sasha Minatozaki, Kim Dahyun, who was also in the 'poor student group', also chose Sasha Minatozaki as her opponent, and the three of them collided.
Among them, Sasha Minazaki is the neon trainee whom Chi Kyung-won met once in the club before, and Kim Da-hyun is a high school student who she interacted with during the recording of the program last month. Although they are not familiar with each other, they are considered familiar.
The 'major group' itself has one less person than the 'poor student group', so there must be a group that will crash. What interests Chi Jingyuan is why the two of them chose Minazaki Saka as their opponent. It feels like this girl is like He is scrambling to choose like a soft persimmon.
Zhou Ziyu is so powerful that no one can compete with her. Is it possible that Minazaki Sasha is weaker than Zhou Ziyu?
Chi Jingyuan looked at Saka Minatozaki, who was standing on the stage in overalls and a top hat, and kept smiling for some reason, and a little expectation ignited in his heart.
It's just that the pants seem a little too small and a little tight.
Kim Da Hyun, who was the first to perform, was said to be a popular Internet celebrity trainee. I heard Park Chanyeol say that she danced the 'Eagle Dance' which was quite famous, but Chi Kyung Won had never seen it.
What can I say about her stage performance? I don’t know if it’s a matter of strength or choreography. A solo song seems to have no characteristics throughout. Her movements are not smooth and powerful. It looks like she is doing radio gymnastics, highlighting her vitality and health.
The highlight is that no matter how good the dance is, the expression is good, and the performance looks confident and infectious. Although the performance is average, the atmosphere is very good, and it can be regarded as a memorable performance.
Li Cai, who came next, was obviously much better at leading the dance. She danced very steadily and had good strength. However, because she looked smaller and she chose the song "Lose Control", her mature charm was not shown.
Chi Jingyuan lowered his head and looked at the information. It showed that she was born in 2001, two years younger than Zhou Ziyu.
Looking at it like this, Chi Jingyuan suddenly felt that even though he had only debuted for three years, the update speed of the peninsula music industry was actually a little faster. He used to think that he was quite young, but first it was Zhou Ziyu, and then these 00 people The trainees who were born in 1994 always feel like they are already from the previous generation.
In the end, Saka Minatozaki's stage was a little brighter. Her dance to "Heartburn" was OK. Although the single-round movements and strength were not very good, not as good as Li Cailing, but she was better in expressiveness. The sense of confidence and self-confidence is really great. Whether it is a smile or a serious expression, the expression given is just right every time, and the expression management is very good.
Looking at Chi Jingyuan, he had some impressions. He remembered that he had seen Sana's stage at a showcase jointly organized by the two companies. At that time, he remembered that this girl had more winks but was very natural and not annoying. .
Overall, he felt that Minazaki Saka's stage, that is, Sana's, was very unique and had the most star-like appearance.
"How is it?" When Sana went to remove the ear loop, Park Zhenying turned around and asked.
"Why doesn't this group have to sing, just dance?" Chi Jingyuan did not comment, but asked in confusion.
These three trainees all danced solo, and none of them had an open mic.
"It's okay to just show your dancing ability, it doesn't have to be singing."
"Then the first two groups are at a disadvantage?" His eyes glanced at Zhou Ziyu and others sitting next to him. Chi Jingyuan looked a little aggrieved.
"Haha..." Park Zhenying was amused, shook his head and looked at the three people already standing on the stage: "As long as he can show his strength and style."
Pei Xiuzhi was still the first to speak. She seemed to appreciate Li Cailing more and said a lot of compliments. She didn't praise the other two, but made a few simple comments.
It was Chi Jingyuan's turn. He glanced at the three girls below and stopped on sana's face: "Sana's expression looks very natural and contagious. It has been practiced and prepared in advance. ?"
"Ani, no." Minatozaki Saka shook her head quickly, her voice a little sweet.
"That's what you are born with, your innate talent." Chi Jingyuan spread his hands and looked down and couldn't help but laugh sheepishly. Saka Minatozaki waved her hands repeatedly, paused and then said: "Dance Although the intensity is not the best, it is very charming, especially the expression and eyes..."
Chi Jingyuan stopped when he was talking about his eyes, because he found that Minazaki Saka in the audience was pursing her lips, shining with crystal black eyes, staring straight at him full of expectation, giving him the feeling of It's as if there is a real hook hiding the fish.
Her eyes are really great and she has a lot of feeling.
Just looking at it this way, isn’t it too straightforward?
Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh, tilted his head slightly, blinked and looked back without hesitation. The two people's eyes met in the air, and it seemed that there was a fight and sparks exploded, but it took less than two seconds. Minatozaki Saka declared defeat, couldn't help laughing, and then quickly covered her mouth and lowered her head.
"hehe."
After laughing, he then looked at Li Cailing: "Cailing's strength is very powerful, and your strength and touch are eye-catching. I also took a look at your age. It's really impressive that you can dance so well at such a young age." rare……"
"Kangsangmita."
"I choose Cai Ling."
"I choose sana."
After commenting on the other two girls, Chi Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi soon gave their choices.
In terms of ability, Chi Jingyuan would choose Li Cailing. He is really good at dancing and feels no worse than Bian Baekhyun.
But in terms of overall evaluation based on idols, he still thinks Minazaki Sasha is better.
Kim Da Hyun seemed a little weaker on this stage.
"... Based on the above evaluation, I also choose sana." Park Jinying rambled on for a long time, and finally made a conclusion: "The 'minor group' failed the challenge, please return to your position."
The three trainees walked back either with joy or disappointment. What was interesting was that Minazaki Saka turned around and bowed towards the judges' seat, glanced at Chi Jingyuan before turning back.
Next, after the solo competition between Somi and Song Minying ended, the recording paused for a short break.
There is another obvious contrast between these two people on stage. Although one has average abilities, he is beautiful and has a good figure. Even if he is not good at singing on stage, he is very natural and infectious. He looks like an excellent idol star. The other has good singing skills. It was very strong, but the typhoon was average. I chose a very difficult song to show my strength. I also broke my note several times when singing high notes because I was too nervous and lacked confidence.
Seeing Song Minying crying loudly before entering the backstage after the break, Chi Jingyuan also sighed in his heart.
Although it is just a competition between JYP trainees, it also reflects the real music industry. Strength and hard work cannot match talent and luck, which is indeed cruel.
"Many teachers said that Minying's singing talent is very good, and her singing ability is the best among all the trainees." Park Jinying also looked at the backs of the group of trainees who walked into the backstage, seeming a little regretful, and with Chi Jing The source explained a little.
"Yes, I can hear it." Chi Jingyuan did not deny it and nodded.
It's a pity that if you can't show your strength, it means you have no strength.
"The recording of the previous parts is very good. Jingyuan, your evaluation is very good. Just continue like this from now on... Actually, I think you can say a little more. You and Suzy can also have some exchanges. You don't have to say it all alone." Let's talk to another person, so the effect should be better." After mentioning Song Minying, Park Jinying took the initiative to change the topic.
"Brother, if you say so, you can try it later."
After chatting for a while, Park Zhenying took the two of them out of their seats and went to the PD to look at the footage they had just taken, and discussed with each other the problems and flaws in the recording and the next process.
After a while, the trainees all came back, everyone returned to their positions and started recording.
Seeing the two people standing on the stage, Chi Jingyuan took a breath and blinked.
Najing Nan, whom I met by chance before, met again this time.
He used to be just an ordinary trainee who had some social skills, and didn't pay much attention to them every time they met. Now sitting on the judges' bench, after looking at the girl with a critical eye, Chi Jingyuan suddenly felt something in his heart. some other feelings.
He didn't know if it was a matter of makeup or whether it was more obvious when compared with the people next to him. He found that Mingjing Nan was really pretty, and her soft temperament stood out, even among the idols he had seen. It's quite eye-catching.
He also noticed that Najing Nan glanced at him inadvertently when he was standing on the stage. Apparently, his heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
"Are you ready?"
"Inside."
As the music started playing and the performance started, Chi Jingyuan and Chi changed their sitting positions and looked expectantly, but within a few words, a strange feeling arose in their hearts.
This song selection...
"Drunk in love" by Beyoncé
Isn't this a pornographic song? He remembered that the lyrics of this song were all about describing some very peripheral and embarrassing things. This word was not banned in the 18th century and will be banned in the 15th century in the future.
So this girl is also so wild?
Accompanied by the accompaniment, Mingnan changed her docile smile and soft temperament, and became free and sexy. Coupled with that face and the brief impression left just now, a sense of contrast spread over her body. born.
She was wearing a black dance suit with her waist exposed on both sides and a close-fitting style. Her movements were crisp and stretched. She was somewhat similar to Saka Minatozaki in front of her. She couldn't be said to be a particularly good dancer, but she excelled in expressiveness. Her movements and expressions were more integrated into the song. Atmosphere.
Looking at Chi Jingyuan, he suddenly laughed softly. Ming Jingnan on the stage just made a very charming movement. She squatted on the stage and outlined the curves of her body, looking at the judges' seat with seductive eyes. At the same time, she hooked her hands provocatively, showing off her sexiness and charm wantonly and boldly. Although she looked a little green, she looked very sexy with her face and eyes.
From the perspective of others, it may seem that she just looked at the judges' table in a formal way, but Chi Jingyuan knew in his heart that Mingjing Nan was looking at him during this part. When the two people's eyes came into contact, The opponent just hooked his hand.
Chi Jingyuan smacked his lips secretly in his heart. He felt that this stage, or Mingjing Nan at this time, had somewhat subverted his impression of her.
Obviously the last time we met at MissA's showcase, the impression left on her was that she was a bit shy when facing herself, liked to put her hands in her sleeves, and was a bit stubborn at the same time. I didn't expect this style of singing and stage. , and actually managed it well.
Everyone is complex, and of course there is no single personality.
It's actually good to have a little more variety.
When the music ended, Minjing Nan took a confident ending pose and bowed. Park Jinying also seemed a little surprised by the stage. He looked at each other, laughed, and clapped.
After Mingnan came off the stage, it was her opponent Kim Eun-soo's performance.
Unfortunately, I had the same problem as Song Minying just now. She danced well and the choreography was difficult, but she was so nervous and not confident enough that she forgot to choreograph halfway through.
This mistake was huge.
Soon, Ming Jinnan and Jin Eunshu stood on the stage again. After a short silence, Pei Xiuzhi took the lead in picking up the microphone. She smoothed the curly hair on the side and looked at Ming Jinnan who stood upright with a smile.
"I feel like Mina doesn't match her stage style very well."
