When Xiao Qian arrived, almost all the top executives of Starlight Entertainment arrived.
The Spring Festival of 1994 has passed, and Starlight Entertainment’s biggest plan today will be implemented at the beginning of the new year.
That was the debut of the girl group.
Calculating, it has been three years since the first batch of trainees entered the company. During this period, they also went to Korea for further training, and it was time for their debut.
The most distressed among them is Weng Zhian.
You must know that over the past three years, more than one million dollars have been invested in these trainees.
If Xiao Qian hadn't signed Shen Jue, Li Xiaohan, Chen Shuai, Wen Yi and others to regain their health, his underwear would have been pawned.
"This is the information of the remaining trainees. The final debut list will definitely be made among them."
Xu Jiayi sent the list to everyone so that everyone can understand it intuitively.
As a vocal teacher, Xu Mingxia was the first to speak.
"Among these children, Leng Xinran and Xu Jingwei have the best singing skills. Leng Xinran's timbre is cold and bright, while Xu Jingwei's timbre is mellow and powerful, and her warm voice is sweeter. These three people have the most outstanding singing skills among all the trainees. Although the others are not outstanding enough, it is enough to control the stage."
Irelia also commented on dance.
"Among all the trainees, Xi Mengjuan has the best dancing skills. An Dahua's movements are more masculine and have a neutral beauty."
Others did not comment, but it is not that those people are not good at dancing, it is just that they are not particularly outstanding.
Other aspects such as lens feel and harmony are also commented by experts, so that everyone can have a clear idea.
The so-called camera sense refers to the singer's ability to control the camera on the stage. This is actually very important, because as a singer, it is often not just about singing well.
In reality, many people will even feel dizzy with the camera and become nervous when they see the camera approaching.
If such a person cannot overcome his fear of the camera, he will not be able to become a singer.
As for harmony, what is considered is how well a trainee fits in with the entire group.
As an idol group, although it needs ACE and appearance, it cannot be too outstanding. Otherwise, the entire group will appear particularly disharmonious.
If outstanding appearance is not a big deal, then the problem of inconsistent image is a big one.
It's like Park So-yeon in her previous life had reached the last step in Girls' Generation and was ultimately unable to debut. Although there were family reasons, the fact that the company gave up so easily was enough to show that her image did not fit well with other trainees.
Anyone who has seen Girls' Generation's makeup photos before their debut knows that she has an indescribable sense of dissonance in them.
In this regard, Starlight Entertainment did not consider this when selecting trainees, and it was Xiao Qian who joined.
It was also his first time to select trainees and he had no experience, so he asked Lee Soo Man for advice. Unexpectedly, Lee Soo Man was so amazed by his idea that he actually used it to SM Entertainment.
Well, since the idol godfather has approved it, there is probably no problem with this method.
After a comprehensive discussion, everyone settled on four candidates for debut: Leng Xinran, Xu Jingwei, Wen Yuxin, and Xi Mengjuan. As for the rest, everyone felt that they had various shortcomings.
"Don't worry, I think we should conduct another inspection."
At this time, Xiao Qian stepped forward to take charge.
He has already planned for the company's first girl group. How to do it, the plan is all in his heart.
He will not consider the team building plans that everyone is thinking about.
But the problem now is that there are difficulties in selecting candidates.
Since it was difficult to reconcile everyone's opinions, Xiao Qian decided to leave it all to the selection.
"Qing Jue, I need a favor from you."
Xiao Qian called Li Qingjue over and assigned her a task.
"Now that the trainees are scattered everywhere, take this question and go to them individually for advice and see if they can help you answer it."
"This is a test, right?"
Li Qingjue was smart enough to guess his purpose right away.
Xiao Qian gave her a thumbs up and ordered: "You act well and don't reveal your secrets."
Li Qingjue ran away proudly.
"Cut, it's a piece of cake."
Li Qingjue went to act, while Xiao Qian was in a hidden place, holding a notebook and starting to observe.
The first person Li Qingjue found was Xu Jingwei.
This is a girl of medium height and delicate appearance. She was not very outstanding when she first entered the company, but later she gradually showed her talent in singing.
Li Qingjue ran over.
"Sister, sister, can you do this question?"
Xu Jingwei was reading the music score and couldn't help frowning when he heard this. He glanced at the notebook handed over by Li Qingjue and shook his head.
"Won't."
"oh."
Li Qingjue felt aggrieved and had to run away to find someone else.
What she found again was Leng Xinran, a girl who was equally pretty but a bit colder.
Faced with the same problem, Leng Xinran was also concise and concise, but the results were different.
"The answer is three-eighths."
Li Qingjue persisted in his persistence.
"Sister, how do you solve it?"
Leng Xinran didn't like talking very much, but she still picked up the pen and wrote down the formulas in the notebook.
Xiao Qian was thoughtful and kept recording in her notebook.
Among all the girls, Wen Yuxin was the most patient when faced with Li Qingjue's problems.
Just like her name, this girl has a gentle personality and seems to be immune to anger and irritation. Not only did she hold Li Qingjue in her arms and explain patiently, she also took the initiative to ask Li Qingjue if he had any other difficulties.
The most inconspicuous one is An Dahua.
This woman clearly didn't know how to calculate, so she kept talking about things here and there, and in the end she just dragged Li Qingjue to dance, which made Li Qingjue forget what he was going to do.
As for other girls, there are some who are indifferent, some who are attentive, and some who are irritable. There are all kinds of people, and they are all different.
Xiao Qian recorded everything one by one, and finally wrote down three names - Wen Yuxin, Leng Xinran and An Dahua.
"Everyone, this is my chosen debut candidate."
Xiao Qian presented his name to everyone, which immediately caused a huge stir.
"I object, why is there no Xu Jingwei? Her singing skills are even better than Leng Xinran. Why did such an outstanding seedling give up?"
Xu Mingxia was very dissatisfied, but Irelia was still dissatisfied.
"Xi Mengjuan, the best dancer, was not selected. Mr. Xiao, your choice is very problematic."
Xiao Qian kept silent and kept letting everyone talk. It wasn't until everyone got tired of talking that he spoke and made the final decision.
"We have no experience in operating an idol group, so the number of people in the first group should not be too large. A three-person group is just right. It is not large and easy to operate."
Xu Mingxia rushed to speak: "Even if you only choose three people, you should choose the three best people. With your choice, you abandoned the best singers and the best dancers. Isn't this nonsense?"
Xiao Qian laughed, and before she could say anything else, Weng Zhian also had some opinions.
"If nothing else, it's outrageous that An Dahua was selected. She is just a tomboy, how can she look like a girl? Xiaoqian, you can't just treat her as a girl just because she is from your hometown."
Xiao Qian stood up and walked to the front alone.
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that in just half a year, this kid had grown so much.
In the past, his eyebrows were only level with the tabletop, but now they are one and a half heads higher.
Xiao Qian ignored everyone's strange reactions, put her hands on the table, and revealed her thoughts.
"Everyone, the best may not be the most suitable. What we want to select is not an independent singer, but a group. So the first thing to consider is whether the combination of a group is perfect. Everyone in a group
It must have an independent color that can make up for the lack of others, and ultimately form a perfect whole.”
At this point, he began to comment on the people he deposed.
"Xu Jingwei's singing skills are very good, and she can support the work by herself. But the problem is that her singing skills and timbre are too overbearing, covering up all the others. You have all heard the works she sang with others.
, I said it right, right?"
Everyone couldn't help being silent at this moment, and then nodded silently.
Xiao Qian added: "The problem with Xi Mengjuan is that she is too tall. Standing together, she stands out from the crowd. Such a person will take away all the focus and make other people overshadowed. But her singing skills are the best.
It’s not enough, it can’t support its appearance, so it has to be eliminated.”
Having said this, he smiled slightly and was full of confidence.
"In addition, my choice has other purposes and considerations."
