Maybe both of them were making preparations before going on stage. Chi Jingyuan soon received their respective replies.
"Come on!!" Zhou Ziyu repeated what Chi Jingyuan sent her, adding several exclamation marks at the end to emphasize the tone. She was not only replying, but also encouraging herself.
"Thank you" Najing Minami received a lot of replies. After also expressing her gratitude in Japanese, she added the smiley face pattern that the two often use most at the end.
Although the two people's replies were different, their tone of voice and habits were different, Chi Jingyuan could faintly feel a sense of tension coming from them, and he seemed to be able to understand some of what the two of them were feeling now. The pressure to bear.
Yes, after all, I am about to decide whether I can make my fateful debut in a girl group like JYP after working hard for so long. No one will be able to keep calm at this time. The most stressful thing is singing and dancing.
Without continuing to post anything, Chi Jingyuan just lay on the bed and scrolled through his phone, waiting for the program to start.
. Before returning from a personal trip, Oh Se-hun, Kim Jun-myeon, and Park Chan-yeol went out for supper. Before leaving, Chi Jingyuan asked them to bring some with them when they came back.
At this moment, he happens to be the only one in the dormitory room. He is happy and at ease and does not need to wear headphones. He can easily play music without worrying about disturbing others.
When the time was almost up, Chi Jingyuan pulled a table over, placed his mobile phone on a stand on the table, went to the side to get a few bags of snacks, sat cross-legged on the bed and watched the last commercial in a leisurely manner.
Soon, the last episode of "Sixteen" began to play, first with a few sponsorships and advertisements, and then began to recall the previous content.
This episode is not a recorded broadcast, but a simultaneous live broadcast on Naver TV. The live recording location is the CJ&EM Center. Although it is said to be live broadcast, it will definitely be delayed for a few minutes for fear of accidents.
But after all, it is a live broadcast, and I don’t know who will make a successful debut in the end. Looking at the various replays and the members’ interviews before the last stop, Chi Jingyuan actually felt a rare sense of tension.
Because he doesn’t know whether Zhou Ziyu can successfully get the debut position of this new girl group in the end. Even if he really thinks that this girl is very talented, whether it is appearance, her own quality, or her popularity with the audience, I believe Park Jin Young must have figured it out, but she is not sure that she will really make it to the end.
After all, jyp has a really good reputation in this area. This company has passed by many famous and popular artists or idols.
Needless to say, IU is the most famous and popular one. Exid’s An Xiyan was eliminated by JYP. Their EXO eldest brother A trainee who left JYP, Ji Kyung-won heard that even he thought the lead singer Yang Yoseop was very strong and was eliminated because of poor performance in the end-of-month assessment.
No, jyp company has such high requirements... Every time he thinks of this, he can't help but feel a sense of admiration and admiration for this magical company.
Sometimes Chi Jingyuan really wants to try, without the support of his family, if he goes to jyp to participate in the selection or becomes a trainee, will he be eliminated by them... In the recorded vcr, each trainee looks like They all have a lot of emotions. The five months of life and experiences along the way to "Sixteen" will probably become unforgettable memories for them in their lives.
Zhou Ziyu felt very lively inside. She seemed to be familiar with the other people around her. She liked to take the initiative to make jokes and laughed often, but every time she laughed, her eyes would squint together, which was ugly.
After a period of fanning and building up the atmosphere, the remaining 12 trainees appeared on the stage one after another and were divided into two groups to start performing on stage.
When choosing an idol, although the story is very important, it still depends on the stage. What's new is that there are no other artists' songs on the stage this time. JYP gave these two groups three new songs. "Go Crazy", "Truth" and "One More Time" are all songs that Ji Jingyuan has never played before. The songs I've heard are quite interesting.
But whether it sounds good or not is a matter of opinion. The process is that each of the two groups performs a new song, and then performs the same song "One More Time". Finally, Park Jin Young will judge.
It's fair, after all, they have to perform the same song, so who can sing better and whose stage effect is better can be seen at a glance, so there are not many excuses.
Chi Jingyuan was also very interested in these new songs and the performances of these girls. He ate a chocolate bar and watched them carefully.
Everyone wears beautiful makeup, has their hair specially styled, and some wear eye-catching lipstick and eye shadow. Although it may not look suitable for their age, the sense of sophistication and aura are enhanced by the makeup. Now, he does look a bit like a debut artist.
But after all, they are trainees. Although it can be seen that they have been carefully prepared, many shortcomings are also revealed during the live broadcast, whether it is the neatness of the dance, or the control of ventilation and pitch. There are a lot of flaws, and some parts are obviously broken several times.
He didn’t know if he was cosplaying Baekhyun or... Moreover, he felt that there was a gap in strength between the two groups of trainees... Lin Nayeon’s group was obviously stronger.
"Huh." Looking at it, Chi Jingyuan suddenly said in surprise. He found that Zhou Ziyu, who was performing, seemed to have had a stage accident. The microphone she had originally pinned behind her buttocks might have been damaged due to the range of her movements and the The force was too great and the bullet flew out.
This is not a small situation. If the microphone falls and breaks, it may directly affect the sound of her headset and cause big flaws on the stage. Or it may fall directly on the stage and be missed by the dancers. It is possible to step on it and fall down, or to kick it away and make a harsh noise.
Many debuting artists cannot react to this unexpected little situation, let alone these young trainees.
Just when Chi Jingyuan was a little worried about Zhou Ziyu, the girl stretched out her hand and grabbed the microphone flying in mid-air. She held it tightly in her hand and immediately danced to the next dance move. Mike rested naturally next to his face and shook his hair coolly. The smile and expression on his face were not affected at all. It was still so bright and sunny, as if nothing had happened.
In this way, she kept holding the microphone and danced to the end without making any mistakes. Until the end of the stage, many people did not realize that something was wrong.
Amazing. Really grown a lot. Seeing the girl's reaction and performance, Chi Jingyuan blinked and remembered the stage she had seen with his own eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After the two groups' stages ended, all the trainees returned to the stage, and the director also gave some shots of the audience below in a timely manner.
At a glance, although the number of spectators who came to the scene today was not very small, it was also not very large. There were probably less than a thousand or hundreds of people, filling the originally small venue to the full.
There are many people in it who have a lot of support from the members of "Sixteen". Obviously many of them have already gained good popularity before they debuted, and they have also gained their first batch of fans. JYP's purpose of doing this show has been achieved. More than half of it.
Scanning the screen, Chi Jingyuan also saw the camera of Kong Shengyan or Yu Shengyan, holding a banner of Yu Dingyan high.
As an old friend, although we are not very close and have not seen each other very often, Ji Kyung-yuan has also paid attention to some of her recent developments. After Gong Seung-yeon gave up idols and started acting as an actress, her development was not very good due to resource issues. They also played supporting roles in some TV series, and their popularity and status can only be said to be average.
However, she recently starred in the variety show "We Got Married" as a partner with Blue's Lee Jong Hyun, which gained a lot of attention, and her popularity and exposure have also increased a lot. It can be regarded as a small success.
But Chi Jingyuan really hates her co-star 'husband' and doesn't have a very good impression of Lee Jong-hyun. But it doesn't matter, since she has often appeared on the show since the first episode of "Sixteen". This sister really cares about her sister.
After all the members reappeared on stage, the speeches and Park Jin Young’s comments began. At this point, all the stage performances of "Sixteen" were over. Five months passed by in a flash. Many people obviously felt very sad about this. She lamented that some girls were very sensitive to that station, and Lihua burst into tears.
After Park Jin Young made a series of comments, all the members left the stage and returned to the backstage. The camera kept changing with them. Just when Chi Jingyuan and the audience were wondering what to do, the door to the backstage lounge was pushed open. , Kong Shengyan walked in with a lot of men and women.
After watching for a while, he realized that these people were all the parents and relatives of the "Sixteen" members.
After doing it for a long time, it turned out that there was a fanning session...the girls all hugged and cried with their relatives who were present. Chi Jingyuan also saw Zhou Ziyu's mother. This girl had always looked very calm just now. As a result, when he arrived in front of his mother, he couldn't help but start hugging and acting coquettishly. He looked like a large dog, clinging to him and unwilling to let go.
There was a man and a woman accompanying him, who looked a bit like a brother and sister, but Chi Jingyuan didn't know Zhou Ziyu's family composition very well, so he just guessed.
The fierce competition atmosphere just now was suddenly dispelled and became warm and harmonious. But at this time, although everyone enjoyed the company of their relatives and was happy, this link was actually quite cruel.
Because the final selection will be waiting soon. If you are not successfully selected into the debut group, you will regret losing the selection under the watchful eyes of all your relatives and friends, which will definitely be more uncomfortable and painful.
The program team really knows how to play. After the parent meeting, everyone changed their clothes and returned to the stage. At the same time, Li Caiyan and Hirai Momo, who had been eliminated from previous episodes of the show, were also recalled to the stage. The original sixteen girls danced for the last time. After performing the initial opening dance of the "Sixteen" program, we entered the final member selection session.
At the same time, it is also the most important and critical part of this show. Many people, including Chi Jingyuan, came to see this place just to see it.
The previous major and minor groups stood in a row on the stage. Under the chairmanship of Wu Sangjin, who served as the MC, everyone was waiting for Park Jin Young to make the final decision.
On the left is the major group. Those who can stay in this group can successfully debut and become twice.
On the right is the minor group. The loser who is still in this group at the end will be eliminated. At this time, the people in the major group are not at ease because they are worried about being replaced, while the people in the minor group are worried that they will not be promoted to the left.
Under the camera, even though everyone is trying their best to manage their expressions and hope to remain calm, at this point, no matter how hard they try, what appears on the faces of these trainees is extremely nervous, worried, uneasy, and expectant. .
One, two, three, four, five or even ten years of hard work as a trainee will finally have a final evaluation and ending.
The word "evaluation" feels a bit gentle, and it is more appropriate to use "judgment" to describe it. Under this atmosphere, even Chi Jingyuan became a little nervous.
After some speeches and nonsense, Park Jin Young finally announced the first member to be successfully promoted from the elimination group to the debut group.
"Lin Nalian." Upon hearing the name, Chi Jingyuan thought to himself, 'Sure enough.' He could tell from the beginning of this program that Lin Nayeon was the most important candidate in Park Jinying's mind. This girl's appearance was good, and her various abilities clearly surpassed the others. At first glance, she was a good prospect for idols. If in the end If you can't make your debut, you're in trouble.
Although Lin Nalian acted very surprised and seemed about to shed tears but was held back, she didn't look too surprised. Chi Jingyuan always felt that the four words "Sure enough, it's me" were written in her eyes.
Under the close-up of the camera, Lin Nalian walked to the center of the stage step by step. After she stood in front of the stage in the middle of the stage, she actually looked back at Yu Dingyan, who was still in the elimination group. She seemed to want to share her happiness with him, and at the same time expressed her care and concern. The two seemed to have a real relationship. very good.
Not to mention, Chi Jingyuan felt that Lin Nayeon looked really beautiful with this makeup in the picture at this time, and Park Jinying had good eyesight.
Just to gain height, I wear shoes that are too high and look a bit awkward. With the first person promoted to the debut group, there was naturally someone eliminated. The 13-year-old Thai trainee Natty was replaced by Lin Nayuan.
Chi Jingyuan had actually expected this result before. No matter how powerful he is, 13 years old is still a little too young. With such a young member, a group will be greatly restricted in terms of song selection and stage. Just her sexier and more mature songs and makeup, and her unusable costumes have already announced her elimination in advance.
After Im Na-yeon, and immediately following Park Jin-young’s announcement, Yoo Jeong-yeon replaced Somi, Kim Da-hyun replaced Song Min-young, and the final seven-member group Twice began to take shape.
But until now, Zhou Ziyu has remained in the elimination group. Park Zhenying has never mentioned her name and doesn't seem to pay much attention to this girl.
Among the few wide-angle shots, Chi Jingyuan only saw Zhou Ziyu standing on the right side of the stage, her legs tightly together, holding a microphone in both hands hanging in front of her body, and occasionally playing mechanical drums when needed. Applause and give some rea. Other than that, there’s not much.
"It was Nayeon just now, Jeongyeon and Dahyun exchanged places and confirmed to be members of twice." Host Oh Sangjin looked at the camera and Park Jinying, started hosting and asked: "So, among the remaining minor members, are there any that can join? Where are the members of Twice?" As soon as these words came out, the few people in the elimination group whose names were not called couldn't help but raise their heads and look at Park Jinying. Even though they were far away, the anticipation and nervousness in their eyes were clearly visible.
The atmosphere became much heavier unconsciously, and several dull and anxious drum beats added to the mood, making the surrounding space seem to solidify.
Under the gaze of countless people, Park Zhenying pursed his lips and picked up the phone with a serious expression: "No more.
"
