Starlight Entertainment has already decided on the debut selection. But except for Xiao Qian, Weng Zhian, Xu Mingxia and other bosses, no one else knows about it.
There is no need to let more people know, otherwise, there will be a lot of monsters.
Not many people know the inside story of SM's selection process for Girls' Generation in the previous life.
The trainees thought it was just normal selection and elimination, but in the end, when they started taking pictures, they finally realized something was wrong.
Xiao Qian knew the importance of confidentiality, so what he conveyed to the trainees was just normal assessment.
Good people advance and bad people are eliminated.
Just this rule is enough to make the trainees extremely nervous.
There are actually many factors that need to be considered whether a trainee can debut and whether he or she has potential. Sometimes, strength is not the only criterion.
But what is certain is that people without strength will never succeed.
Therefore, the selection plan formulated by Xiao Qian also starts from the strength assessment. Even trainees who are not strong enough do not need to consider other things.
Seven days later, the assessment officially begins.
All trainees are not allowed to take leave and must attend.
When Xiao Qian was about to leave the office, someone knocked on the door.
He didn't let anyone in, but walked out.
The person at his door is one of the trainees, Qi Mingyan.
One is very good at dressing up and is also very good at dancing among the trainees.
But now Qi Mingyan looked uncomfortable and embarrassed, as if she had something unspeakable.
Seeing Xiao Qian looking at her, she had no choice but to speak out.
"Director, I am not feeling well today. If I take the assessment, I will definitely not be able to exert all my strength. Do you think I can take the assessment two days later?"
Xiao Qian tilted her head and looked at her.
"Tell me why."
The words were concise and concise, but they put great pressure on Qi Mingyan.
When Qi Mingyan came, she didn't find it so uncomfortable.
She originally wanted to go to Weng Zhi'an, but she thought that Weng Zhi'an was smart and difficult to deal with, and she felt that Xiao Qian was easy to fool because of his young age. However, she didn't expect that Xiao Qian's expression of joy and anger made her feel uneasy.
"That...that...I...I'm on my period, I'm a little anemic."
Xiao Qian nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then he asked her: "Although you are on your period, you are going to perform on stage soon. Can you make it?"
Qi Mingyan was stunned and couldn't answer.
Xu Mingxia's voice came from behind.
"Xiao Qian, get ready to start the assessment."
She saw Qi Mingyan again and asked, "Qi Mingyan, why are you here if you don't prepare well?"
Qi Mingyan ran away in a panic.
Xu Mingxia walked up to Xiao Qian, looked at him carefully, and asked with concern: "What is that girl doing here?"
Xiao Qian took her hand and they walked to the practice room together.
"She said she wasn't feeling well and wanted to take the assessment again in two days. But I think she has been eliminated."
Xu Mingxia couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
Xiao Qian sneered.
"She lied, her period is not today."
Xu Mingxia's hand tightened so hard that Xiao Qian's hand could no longer bleed.
"How do you know this?"
Xiao Qian is pitiful.
"The company has records, of course I know."
Xu Mingxia is even worse.
"Why does the company record this?"
Xiao Qian had to explain.
"Of course the company must consider how to arrange activities based on their physical condition. We can't let the company give them a tiring schedule if they are not feeling well."
Xiao Qian suggested this, and Weng Zhian accepted it without saying a word.
In previous lives, many female artists were squeezed by management companies, which caused huge physical damage at a young age. In the end, they couldn't stand it anymore, so they parted ways with the company, creating a lose-lose situation.
Starlight Entertainment is not a Korean company, and it does not need to rely on squeezing artists to develop the company. It would be better to be more lenient.
This situation made Xu Mingxia smile.
"Then let me ask you, if the company's artists are really in trouble in the future, will the company let them rest?"
Xiao Qian said honestly: "It depends on the situation. After all, the company is not a charity."
He told the truth, which made Xu Mingxia feel more at ease.
In the practice room, Xiao Qian, Weng Zhian and Xu Mingxia were seated, and the dance teacher Irelia also came.
Since she got rid of the Lily Soul, this woman has turned love into work. She works extremely hard and has the most outstanding achievements among the three teachers.
Those who work hard will be rewarded, so after discussion between Xiao Qian and Weng Zhian, Irelia was promoted to the company's dance director.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Weng Zhian ordered his secretary: "Let people come in."
After a while, the first trainee walked in.
"Hello teachers."
Xiao Qian stared at her.
"When you introduce yourself, you should say your name first."
An Dahua grinned.
"Don't you know me?"
Xiao Qian's voice became dangerous.
"It's easy not to know you."
An Dahua stuck out her tongue in fear. She found that the little boss was more terrifying than the big boss.
On the contrary, Xu Mingxia is very kind.
"The main assessment today is singing skills. The first item is free expression. Have you decided what song to sing?"
Many people think that to assess singing skills, just let people sing a song. But in fact, the steps are very complicated and need to be divided into many projects.
For example, the control of breath, the breadth of the vocal range, the quality of the timbre, emotional investment, mastery of the sense of sound, etc. There are countless ways to do it.
Free play means that the trainees can choose the songs they like and are best at without any restrictions, and then show off all their characteristics.
The more songs they like and are good at, the more emotionally invested they are in the songs.
An Dahua thought about it and became much more cautious.
"I want to sing "I Love You, Snow in Saibei"."
She and Xiao Qian are both from Heilongjiang, so they are obviously more familiar with such songs.
Xiao Qian and others would not care about her choice, but nodded to indicate that she could start.
An Dahua took a deep breath, brewed her emotions, and then began to sing affectionately.
While she was singing, Xiao Qian, Xu Mingxia and others kept writing and drawing in their notebooks, recording her characteristics.
An Dahua sang from beginning to end without any pause in between, and her performance was quite skillful. But she was still very nervous, not knowing what kind of evaluation she would get.
However, she was destined to be disappointed.
Xiao Qian pointed to the door.
"Okay, you can go back."
An Dahua was frustrated, but had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Outside the door, other people were queuing up. When they saw her coming out, they immediately gathered around her.
"Silly Flower, how are you? What did the boss and director say?"
An Dahua spread her hands.
"They didn't say anything and just let me go."
"No way? Could it be that your score is too low? I'm sorry to say it, right?"
There are also people who are yin and yang.
"You guys, just don't ask. If someone is behaving badly or in a bad mood, why don't they want to tell us?"
An Dahua bared her teeth and smiled at the man.
"Li Mutan, you should think about what to do yourself. With your level, the boss and director might fire you."
"What did you say? You damn country bumpkin, no matter how bad my performance is, I'm still better than you."
A hand stretched out from the side and grabbed An Dahua, who was about to quarrel. His voice was cold and even more irritating.
"You clowns, please ignore her."
An Dahua turned his head and saw the girl's cold and pure face. He nodded and sat next to the girl, letting Li Mudan gain popularity alone.
"Xinran, don't be nervous. The boss and director's assessment this time is to ask you to sing. You have such a good voice, there will be no problem."
The girl nodded with a calm expression.
"Why should I be nervous? I can sing very well."
An Dahua was frustrated.
"Yes, you are Leng Xinran. You are the best singer among us. If you don't get good reviews, it will be even less likely for us. Unlike me, my boss and director will definitely not like my voice, which is so rough."
Leng Xinran looked at her and wanted to say something, but the words were on her lips, but she didn't know how to comfort her. He could only hold her hand tightly and convey the power of encouragement.
But she can't speak, but someone can.
Another girl hurried over and hugged An Dahua without saying a word, looking extremely clingy.
Especially the girl's appearance, she smiles before she speaks, and the sweetness between her eyebrows makes people feel happy when they see her, and all her worries disappear.
"Dahua, you are the best, do you know? The three of us have agreed that we will definitely debut together."
After being comforted by her friends, An Dahua was no longer so hesitant.
"Don't worry, Yuxin, I won't hold you back."
The three girls hold hands tightly together, their eyes looking forward to the future are pure and firm, with the strength to move forward without regrets.
