After entering and sitting down, Chuan Jingai told him the next process.
In terms of steps, it is basically no different from previous selections. Basically, after introducing yourself, perform a prepared song and then show off your talents or specialties.
There are all kinds of things in this area. If you sing well, you can sing another song, but based on current experience, most of them are dancing, acting, or one-shot skills. This link is also the key part that is easiest to improve the impression during the review process, and its importance is self-evident.
After that, it was the examiner's turn at the review bench to start asking questions. Except for one or two basic guaranteed questions, the rest were all free to express. This part mainly depends on the candidate's on-the-spot reaction, demeanor when speaking, and overall temperament. If the answer is excellent, the percentage will be high.
After it's over, you can go out, and things will have nothing to do with Baiyun Mountain after that. There will always be staff waiting outside the door to take the candidates to a video shot by a dedicated photographer, asking about their thoughts or mood, etc. Finally, they will all gather in the same lounge to wait for the final review results.
"So, our job is quite easy?"
After listening to this series of process explanations, Baiyunshan couldn't help but laugh.
Chuan Jingai also smiled when he heard this, then picked up a stack of information on the table next to him and handed it to him: "After all, it has reached the final review. Of course, the work will not be too troublesome. Among them is this time that it has entered the final review." All the information of the people reviewed. In the previous rounds of review, the candidates who passed the review will have their photos taken for registration. Bai Sang, just take a look at it first, so you can be prepared later——"
"Um."
Of course, Baiyunshan would not be polite to him. After taking it, he started flipping through it, but after reading a few pages, his expression turned cold and strange.
Wait, this guy...
Looking at the names and photos displayed on the information, Baiyunshan raised his eyebrows and wondered what he was thinking of. But he didn't say a word, he just turned a few more pages in silence, preparing to look at the information of the next few people.
At this point, the preparation time was over and it was officially time for the final review to begin.
"Please come in."
"I'm sorry~"
There was a steady knock on the door, and then under the leadership of the staff, the first girl to participate in the final review walked in uneasily, followed the instructions and stood nervously on the small stage that had been set up in front of the judges' seat. .
Baiyunshan quickly put down the information he was holding, looked up, and was immediately stunned.
Because the girl in front of him looked very familiar... To be precise, she happened to be the one he met just now!
At the same time, the girl on the stage noticed his gaze and subconsciously looked back, then was also stunned for a moment.
Because when the girl came in, someone was looking down at the information, and she was also very nervous. In order to relax, she had stood in the corridor to breathe fresh air, so she did not notice the judge sitting there. What does the guy at the table look like.
As a result, when I look at it now, my dear, isn't this the staff I just met who asked for directions?
what happened? Isn't he a staff member here? Why are you sitting on the judging panel? Although the censor’s words, it seems that they are indeed the staff here——
Wait, is this a test for me? The final review started before I even walked in? Hiss... As expected of a professional idol group, worthy of Sony, it turns out they still have this skill! The last time I participated in the selection, I failed to make it to the final review. I really didn’t expect that I would reach this stage and have this kind of test. It was really amazing——
Passages from some novels or comics that she had read came to mind, and her imagination flowed endlessly. The girl's face turned pale for a while, and she could not help but sweat a little on her back.
Baiyunshan had no idea that the girl in front of him had already sorted out a set of reasonable logic in his mind because of his previous behavior, and he was deeply grateful for it.
Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, he couldn't help but feel strange. After looking at Chuan Jingai next to him, he coughed lightly and reminded her.
"Ahem! You... can already start introducing yourself."
"Ah...Hi!"
The girl suddenly woke up from a dream, straightened her back subconsciously, nodded with a smile on her face: "I, my name is Ito Karin ↑, I was born in Kanagawa Prefecture, a junior high school student, I am nineteen years old this year, I don't have any part-time job at the moment, please Please take good care of me~"
"Please take good care of me~"
Then comes the song performance part. Since it is the final review, the time is more generous than in the previous rounds. You can sing a song completely, instead of having to give you about twenty seconds like before. Sing one of the verses. The girl named Ito Karin in front of her does not seem to be outstanding in appearance, but her singing skills are quite acceptable for her age, at least she is still qualified compared to the young idols——
But those were the little idols from before. With him closely watching and guiding the practice, the girls' singing skills have also improved enough. This can already be seen in the first anniversary live.
Even Sayuri Matsumura, Manatsu Akimoto, and Yuri Saito, who are recognized as not very good at singing, have slowly transformed from the level of magical sounds that are fed into their brains to the point where they are just a little out of tune and unpleasant to listen to... Especially It's Akimoto Manatsu. If he hadn't clearly understood her true strength, Baiyunshan would have even suspected that she was deliberately out of tune so that she could pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger——
Back to the topic, after the first selector Ito Karin finished singing, the stunt she performed was that she could pronounce the names of the prefectures by looking at them. This stunt was not very powerful, and the effect was not impressive. It was so memorable, but Baiyunshan still let her perform.
After the performance, it was the question and answer session. Baiyunshan and Kawakage Ai looked at each other, but Baiyunshan asked first: "This... Ito-san——"
"Hi!"
Karin Ito responded quickly.
"The information I have here shows that you seemed to have participated in the selection event during the previous first-term student selection, but you were eliminated before the final review. May I ask why you want to participate in our second-term student selection this time? What about the selection? In other words, what kind of mood did you have to participate?"
Ito Karin's face was calm, and she was obviously prepared for this question. After the initial surprise, she quickly calmed down, grabbed the microphone with both hands and replied: "When I participated in the first-term student selection before, it was because I paid attention to this activities, I had a strong desire to join Nogizaka46, so I chose to participate in the audition.”
"Although it is a pity that it did not enter the final review stage, my desire to join has never changed. I have paid close attention to all subsequent activities, including programs, and have always participated in handshake meetings. If it is As for what kind of mood I feel, I think it’s probably the mood of eating.”
"Oh? Really? Have you ever participated in a handshake meeting?"
Baiyunshan was a little surprised, thinking that he had been there for most of the handshake meetings, but he had never seen her. He couldn't help but curious: "Which member are you recommending?"
"Ah...it's Takayama Ichimi-san."
"Oh~"
Baiyunshan nodded clearly, thinking that after the final review was over, he would ask Kangao Shan if she still remembered her fan.
Then he glanced at Chuan Jingai next to him, signaling that his question was over and it was his turn.
So after Kawakage Ai asked a few more questions, the time of the first selector Ito Karin was over. After putting down the microphone, the staff led him away from the scene.
Taking advantage of the gap between inspections, Chuan Jingai turned around and asked curiously in a low voice: "Bai Sang, how are you? Do you think this person can pass?"
Baiyunshan already had the answer in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to reveal it. Instead, he nodded noncommittally and said, "Let's take a look first. Aren't there many people behind us?"
"That's right. But I don't know if it's my misunderstanding. I always feel that this person named Ito Karin knows you Bai-san? Otherwise, why did he start to fall into a daze after taking one look at you when he came in? It's strange - —”
Chuan Jingai was a little confused.
Before Baiyunshan had time to answer him, there was another knock on the door, and he subconsciously blurted out a "please come in."
"Sorry, I'm sorry~"
Then, the staff led the second selector indoors. As soon as he entered, the first thing he saw was Baiyunshan sitting on the judging table.
The two looked at each other and were stunned for a moment.
