After Park Jin Young solemnly announced that there were no more candidates, the audience immediately burst into loud screams. The sound contained obvious emotions such as surprise, joy, disappointment, etc. Even with the accompaniment of background music,
It seems like such a word.
After Chi Jingyuan heard this, he paused for a moment. His legs that were hanging on the edge of the bed were shaking slightly. He couldn't help but stop. The posture he was sitting comfortably while eating snacks suddenly became more upright.
Twice's debut group has a total of seven members. If it is confirmed that no one will be added to the list now, then...
His eyes couldn't help but look at Zhou Ziyu, who was standing in the elimination group on the right side of the stage, and at this time, the director also gave the camera to him at the right time.
At this time, Zhou Ziyu lowered his head, his eyes were dull, and he looked down blankly, not knowing what he was looking at. His expression didn't change much, but he didn't react much, but his hands were clasped tightly in front of him.
, his right hand still held the microphone that he had been holding in his hand, but the microphone seemed to be shaking, as if it would fall at any time.
What should this girl be thinking about right now?
Chi Jingyuan stared at Zhou Ziyu in the camera.
It is a collection of various negative emotions such as loss, despair, sadness, etc.
I still feel wronged and sad and want to cry.
Or is your mind just empty and not thinking about anything?
Just when Chi Jingyuan started to think divergently and was about to help her find some escape route, the black-haired and dark-faced Park Zhenying suddenly spoke again.
"But, I want to do more for the 7 members of Twice..."
What he said was not very smooth and there was a slight pause, as if he knew that what he said next would cause quite a bit of controversy: "I decided to add two more members to make them a more perfect combination."
"Ah..." The audience at the scene suddenly burst into screams that were even more surprised than before.
Originally, the show had been promoting that seven members of Twice would debut, and the major group had always had seven spots.
Adding people temporarily now?
Upon hearing this, Song Minying and others who had just been eliminated immediately couldn't hold it back and started crying.
Because they know that even if they are temporarily added, they cannot be added. If they were added, they would not have been eliminated just now.
"So who are those two members?" After brewing his emotions for a while, Wu Shangjin asked in a flattering tone.
"The selection method for the two additional members is..."
Park Jin Young didn't look very sure at this time, and kept blinking in front of the camera: "One of us has completely listened to the opinions of the viewers who have been with us for the past five months."
"We have decided on the ones that are most loved by the audience so far... Tzuyu and Camida."
"Oh oh oh..."
It seems that Zhou Ziyu's popularity is quite good. After hearing this game, many of her supporters cheered loudly.
"Well……"
For some reason, Chi Jingyuan let out an inexplicable breath. He sucked the chocolate bar that had just been half-bitten and froze there, then chewed it with satisfaction.
"The choice made by the audience is Tzuyu! Congratulations, please come to the front... You have joined Twice in a very special way. Please tell me your feelings." Under the command of the host, Zhou Ziyu
Step by step, he moved to the middle of the stage.
The screen shows a close-up of the scene.
She held the microphone, seemed a little hesitant and nervous, and stroked her hair hanging down on the right side twice in succession.
But no matter how nervous she was, she could not withstand the satisfaction and joy that surged in her heart. Just two seconds later, the silkworms under her eyes suddenly turned up, and her mouth opened wide, revealing two rows of smooth teeth, letting her no matter what
The pupils, nose, corners of the mouth, and ears all seemed to be smiling, smiling like a weather-beaten warrior, but also like a child who was inexperienced in the world.
The half-bent eyes were like black gemstones reflecting the sunlight, bright and refreshing, and seemingly without any impurities.
At this moment, it feels like the entire screen is lighting up.
Chi Jingyuan looked at the screen of his phone and blinked. He suddenly had a strange feeling. He felt that this was the best smile he had ever had since he met this girl until now.
He watched quietly as Zhou Ziyu stood up on tiptoes and then put them down again. With several small movements that clearly showed that he was extremely uneasy in his heart, he began to speak. Then he opened his big, timid eyes and listened carefully.
The way Park Jin Young commented on her.
These testimonials and comments are actually no longer important.
From the very beginning, he felt that Zhou Ziyu, as an idol, was very talented in terms of appearance, and both his appearance and figure were far above the standard.
The same is true. In the first few episodes of "Sixteen", she gained a lot of attention with very few scenes. At the end of each episode, her voting ranking will rise a little. She has been ranked first since the latter part of the show.
Keep it till now.
For idols, being good-looking and being lovable is naturally the best talent. There are naturally many reasons why Zhou Ziyu was able to finally enter the debut group.
However, from the very beginning, this girl unexpectedly joined the show and became one of the "sixteen". She had complete background boards and screens in the previous episodes, and now she has become the most searched among all the members, and firmly ranked first in the popularity vote.
From when Chi Jingyuan was a judge, his performance was something he couldn't even praise, and it looked like a ridiculous stage full of shortcomings, to when he performed enthusiastically and generously on the stage just now, his smile and wink were both contagious, and when he encountered an accident
But there is no chaos at all, and the response is timely and perfect, mature and chic.
With such great progress and efforts that can be seen with the naked eye, if everything can be summed up with just one sentence: "good-looking", it would indeed be a bit one-sided and unfair at the same time.
Seeing Zhou Ziyu walking step by step from the center of the stage to the left to stand among the debut group, Chi Jingyuan also shook his head and laughed.
No matter what, it would be great if you can make your debut.
After Zhou Ziyu confirmed her debut spot, Chi Jingyuan no longer cared about who the ninth person was. Although she was still a little interested, she wasn't as concerned as before.
He may be Li Cailing, although he is a bit younger, or he may be Somi, whose appearance and appearance are quite good.
Then the final choice really surprised him.
"MOMO."
Seeing Park Jin Young seriously saying the name of the last place, not only Chi Jingyuan, but the whole audience actually fell into a strange silence, followed by surprised screams and cheers.
Choose someone to debut from among those who have been eliminated from the audience?
He really didn’t expect JYP’s selection.
Although this show is, to put it bluntly, JYP's own show to select girl groups, who doesn't debut and who doesn't are all decided by Park Jin Young and the company.
But choosing a contestant who has been eliminated long ago is really a sharp irony and ridicule in many ways for the other members who have been practicing hard in recent periods and taking on huge pressure to prepare for the stage and perform.
They will most likely think so:
We worked hard to prepare for each episode, choreographing, practicing, handing out flyers, and doing guerrilla propaganda. In order to fight for that precious debut opportunity, we can't say it's hard work, but it can be said that we are desperate.
In the end, you added people as you asked, even if you added Zhou Ziyu, who was the most popular in the voting, everyone was convinced, but it was a bit too much to even bring out someone who had been eliminated for who knows how long.
If this is the case, then what does it mean that in the next few episodes of our program, we worked hard in the practice room and practiced on stage day and night?
Sure enough, as soon as Hirai Momo's name came out, several people in the elimination group on the stage were obviously sad and unable to accept it. Chi Jingyuan also noticed that Somi immediately showed an expression of "Can we still play like this?" after hearing it, and then didn't
He held back a sneer and rolled his eyes to the side.
To be honest, Chi Jingyuan understands Somi's reaction very well.
However, Minami Nai and Saka Minatozaki were very happy, and they hugged each other and started crying. It was really interesting that these three neon sisters actually all entered the debut group due to a strange combination of circumstances.
Now that the quota has been finalized, the various eye-rolling, crying, and touching episodes are no longer important. After Hirai Momo finished her acceptance speech, the final stage entered.
"Hello! This is JYP's new girl group, Twice!"
Amid the host's excited introduction and shouting, the nine members of Twice stood in a row in front of the stage, ribbons floated down, and the accompaniment sounded. "Sixteen", which took more than five months, finally successfully selected the members of JYP's new girl group.
At the end.
Chi Jingyuan felt relaxed at this time and looked at the nine throbbing members on the screen with a critical eye.
As for personal charm, you can’t feel it even if you haven’t debuted and haven’t had much contact with her.
But the appearance is quite good, and most people are above the standard. If you want to choose appearance, I guess you should choose one among Zhou Ziyu, Ming Jingnan or Lin Nalian.
That Minatozaki Saka is actually pretty good.
However, there are four foreigners among the nine members. JYP is really brave this time.
After Twice, who was preparing to debut, waved and greeted the camera, the show ended. Chi Jingyuan, who had been sitting for a long time, stretched out comfortably. This should be the time for Zhou Ziyu and the others to share their joy with their families, and he was too lazy to post anything.
I was disturbing others with text messages to say congratulations, so I just checked my phone and went to bed.
Until the lights were turned off, he was the only one in the three-person dormitory.
As expected, with the popularity of last night's "Sixteen" and Twice's formation of a group, there were a lot of discussions and accusations on the Internet early the next morning.
Mainly focusing on the last two places added by Park Jin Young.
Zhou Ziyu's joining did not cause too much controversy, because she has been the first voted among all members since the seventh issue. She has firmly occupied this position for a long time. Being the first popular vote can make her debut, everyone
acceptable.
Voting first will only make people argue if it doesn't make a difference.
So most of the energy is concentrated on the addition of Hirai Momo.
"Forget it Tzuyu, after all, she is the first in the voting, why should MOMO? If a person who has been eliminated long ago can debut, then what does our hard-working voting in the past two months mean?"
"This is the first time I heard that a talent show can select people to debut from those who have been eliminated for several months. Even if they resurrect you, they will hold a special resurrection competition. After a long time, only her will be resurrected? This MOMO
How much money did you give to JYP? Or..."
"It's really disgusting. I was so disgusted when I saw this segment yesterday. It's clear that there is a shady story. Who would watch the girl group selected under such circumstances?"
Faced with the overwhelming number of shady claims online, JYP seemed to have anticipated that this would happen, and responded shortly after being inconsistent with their company's previous efficiency and response speed::
"...We considered that Momo is the member with the best dancing and stage performance. If she joins TWICE, she will definitely make the group more perfect, so we chose her..."
"...Currently, many netizens suspect that Momo was our previously appointed member. This is absolutely not true. Park Jin Young was a student who had been observing during the 10th recording period, and it was not until the end that he decided to choose her..."
The response was quite weak and didn't make any important points, so even though there was an announcement, I was still scolded.
Outside of MOMO, the other members did not receive any attacks or arguments. Except for Lin Nalian, many people, including some Aili, expressed dissatisfaction with this girl's successful breakout:
"Why can Nayeon, a person who doesn't respect her seniors, be able to debut?"
"You are just a trainee who dares to disrespect your seniors. If she really makes her debut, I can't even imagine what she will be like!"
"resist!"
Unfortunately it's of no use.
Looking at these trends on the Internet today, Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting cross-legged in the practice room and watching the excitement on his phone, shook his head.
The announcement made by JYP may be true, and MOMO is probably not their official member.
But Lin Nayeon is.
However, compared to two months ago when the incident first broke out, there were significantly fewer people attacking Lin Nalian at this time, which was good news for her.
Chi Jingyuan looked at it, and his phone suddenly vibrated when he received a text message. When he glanced at it, it was from Zhou Ziyu.
"Did you finish reading it yesterday?"
Seeing these words and feeling the joy contained in them, Chi Jingyuan could imagine Zhou Ziyu's expression when he sent the text message.
"Congratulations on making your debut, aren't you very happy?" He did not deliberately insult anyone, but instead gave a sincere congratulations.
After all, the long-cherished wish of many years has finally been fulfilled. It is a very happy and several-year day. Let’s let her go for once today.
"Hehehe, are you okay?"
However, this reserved reply made Chi Jingyuan unable to hold back. He curled his lips and tapped the screen: "When you are typing, are your mouth grinning to the sky?"
"Not at all...hahaha."
Zhou Ziyu was obviously very happy, and her tone was filled with excitement and excitement that could not be concealed. After chatting happily for a few words, she suddenly changed the topic: "By the way, well, what happened to you yesterday?"
After watching the show, my mother came here again. She asked me to ask if you are free today. She wants to treat you to dinner and she also wants to ask you some questions."
"Excuse me? Why are you saying so politely..."
Chi Jingyuan laughed and replied first, then thought of the filming that was going to take place soon, so he sent it again: "There will be a program to record later, and it will probably last until the evening. If it is confirmed that it is today, it may be
Later."
"Okay, let's do it today. Remember to tell me when you're done..."
After confirming that it was tonight, and patiently letting the girl vent her frustration and joy, Chi Kyung-won ended the conversation and went to his music room to wait for a while. IU and Jung Hyung-don took their respective
The assistant has arrived.
What we are going to record today is the new episode of "Infinite Challenge Music Festival". The content is still the internal discussion of song creation within their group. This time they really have to come up with some plans to determine the theme. It can't be the same as last time.
There is no progress.
Although some of the plots and lines recorded in the program were set by the writers in advance, the writers had absolutely no say in what songs to write and how to determine the theme and style. After all, they still had to rely on the two guests, namely Chi
Kyung Won, IU, and Jung Hyung Don came to discuss and choose.
These communications and discussions do not only take place during the filming of the show. After all, song creation cannot be accomplished in just a few hours of recording time a week. So after the last recording, they have actually discussed it in private
We have communicated many times through mobile phones or the Internet.
"Ah! Even though I've been here once, Jingyuan, your place is really nice."
Zheng Hengdun looked around and then sat down, took the disposable water cup filled with drinks from Chi Jingyuan, took a sip, put it on the table, and said somewhat seriously: "We have to speed up the progress this time.
I heard that Brother Shi and HAHA are about to have demos there, and we are far behind."
After they were divided into groups, the three of them had a lot more personal contact. After some communication, they now seemed more familiar and relaxed when communicating. You can feel it just by looking at their sitting postures.
"Don't worry, brother, it's not too fast if you hurry first."
Chi Jingyuan seemed quite relaxed. He smiled and took another drink and handed it to IU and sat next to her.
"hehe."
IU laughed when she heard it, but did not refute. Her expression seemed quite confident. She also took the drink, thanked her, took a sip and put it down. She looked up at Chi Jingyuan next to her: "Have you listened to the song?
?”
IU tied a ponytail today and wore a pink loose short-sleeved suit with a slightly low neckline and a black hip-hugging skirt, which added a lot of sexy flavor to her own pure aura.
At this time, she was holding a pillow in front of her thighs. She didn't even call her name, but called Chi Jingyuan in a very natural and familiar tone.
"Of course I did."
Chi Jingyuan nodded.
This collaboration with Ji Kyung-won through the song festival seems to have aroused some kind of desire to win in IU's heart. She is very attentive and values this collaboration and song creation.
After the filming of the last episode, IU privately wrote several demos of songs after returning home. She also played the guitar and sang a cappella. She recorded several demos and sent them to him for tasting. It seemed that she wanted to tell him.
The charm of the lyrical slow songs that he loves also shows the strong strength of the musical girl.
"You really put a lot of effort into it." He nodded sincerely and looked at the other person: "In order for me to feel the true charm of summer slow songs, I had to layer three or four layers of backing vocals..."
"Hahaha……"
IU couldn't help laughing when she heard this, but her laughter was a little different from when she was in front of the camera, a little less soft and a little more hearty.
"How do you feel?" She smiled and stared over with twinkling eyes.
"They're all pretty good. There's one of them I really like."
The display expressed recognition of the other party's strength, and then Chi Jingyuan's expression changed, and he pursed his lips and pondered for two seconds: "But I always feel that it lacks a little impact. I think the songs produced by our group and our partners should be...
Some stronger impact and shocking feelings, pure summer lyricism, are a bit too flat."
"In the case of the music festival, because there is a lot of stage time and the audience has strong expectations, I think a slightly stronger rhythm, whether it is pop dance music, EDM, or R&B, may have a better effect."
After expressing his suggestion, Chi Jingyuan smiled again and added in a matter-of-fact tone: "Of course, the lyrical style is also very likely to play a surprising role. After all, it is also IU seniors who do it.
The songs that came out.”
"..."
IU listened attentively and nodded in agreement, but when she heard the last obviously complimentary words, she couldn't help but glance at him and burst out laughing.
After blinking at each other to show his sincerity, Chi Jingyuan looked at Zheng Hengdon who was aside: "Brother, what do you think? Don't keep silent. You are our core, and your opinions are also very important."
"Is it important?"
Zheng Hengdun looked at the two people with some suspicion and asked a question. After getting a clear and definite answer, he breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded somewhat proudly. After thinking for a while, he said seriously:
"Actually, things like style and theme are quite simple. Our group is going to do two songs anyway, so you two can each do one... But I have listened to your opinions and generally understand them.
Well, it’s a bit more towards Jingyuan. I also think that for an occasion like the Song Festival, songs that are a little more exciting are needed, preferably ones that include dancing or musical instruments.”
Zheng Hengdon did not get along with him and expressed his suggestions very straightforwardly.
Chi Jingyuan and IU also listened carefully. Since everyone took this case, they must want to make the song better, and then get the desired results from it. Everyone also wants to do a good job.
"I have an idea, you guys can see if it works."
Hearing what Zheng Hengdon said, both of them nodded and looked at him.
Jung Hyung Don had obviously thought about it before and said it directly: "Because there are three of us, if the three of us sing some songs together on the stage, the style will look a bit awkward. What I am thinking is, should we sing in one of the songs?"
Form a band, then compose a band song, and perform that song as a band. This will not only satisfy the number of people, but the effect will definitely be exciting."
"And I've always been interested in the band. It's really handsome... What do you think?"
