[Entertainment Circle] Today, I am still very sad

August 2014, 8, morning

"Sister Jiang Yue, the director asked you to confirm your position, have you reported it?" Gu Linzi held Jiang Yue's arm with a concerned face.

"Not yet..." Jiang Yue hesitated for a while, then intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Ye Hanyu next to her.

Yesterday when the promotional photo was taken, the photographer was satisfied with Ye Hanyu's performance, which made her more vigilant. Seeing that everyone's position has been determined, she has been unable to make a decision. Forced her to hand over the position of the facade.

Ye Hanyu pretended not to notice and continued to eat her breakfast, but Yu Chengcheng couldn't stand it any longer, and pulled Ye Hanyu to change seats, blocking Jiang Yue's view.

"I'm going to sign up for Dancer, and there will be one more Visual. If you don't have enough, you can take it away." An Youna, who was supposed to be Visual among the Korean trainees, didn't care that there were only three Visual places in total. Let it out.

"Is this okay? Youna?" Jiang Yue tentatively tried, An Youna waved her hand to show that it was okay, Jiang Yue hurriedly took her hand and thanked her, but An Youna didn't care at all, instead her eyes flickered from time to time He glanced at Ye Hanyu and the others.

Ye Hanyu frowned slightly, and Yu Chengcheng who was next to her pulled her closer to her ear.

"Don't worry, An Youna will be more stable if she takes the Dancer route. After all, she is the leader of dance class A. Competent people are always proud and unwilling to win by appearance." For example, Fu Ange, who was right beside them, Yu Chengcheng finished speaking He also signaled Ye Hanyu to look at Fu Ange.

"I'm afraid she's a drunkard and doesn't care about drinking. If she thinks the same as me, why didn't she get booked as a dancer early?" Fu Ange raised her eyebrows and looked in Anyouna's direction.

"What do you mean?" Is there another conspiracy?Ye Hanyu, who has only been in Korea for a few days and has seen all kinds of open and secret struggles among trainees, feels a little apprehensive.

"It's not something important, she's helping you out~ This girl An Youna has a problem, she looks at her face. You just accept her." That's right, An Youna always does things based on her personal preferences Evil, and her standard is to be good-looking, and it is only limited to good-looking young ladies!

Ye Hanyu suddenly remembered that when Gu Linzi dissed that she was not that good-looking, wasn't it An Youna who shook her head with Fu Ange?

On August 2014, 8, Mnet held a press conference, announcing that it will broadcast a new idol reality show "12×5" for the purpose of selecting girl groups that meet the preferences of fans in China, Japan and South Korea.

Program director Ahn Joon-young personally explained the planning and execution method to the media. A total of 15 trainees from China, Japan and South Korea participated in the competition.

This is the first time that 15 trainees have made public in front of the media. Under the illumination of countless flashing lights, 15 trainees came to the stage in order to introduce themselves.

Facing such a battle for the first time, Ye Hanyu was so nervous that her palms sweated, as if she sensed Ye Hanyu's nervousness, Yu Chengcheng, who was next to her, secretly took her hand from behind, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, Hands clenched tightly together.

After the 15 trainees appeared in order of age and disclosed the most basic information, the basic rules of the survival battle began to be introduced on the screen: with the topic of the necessary conditions for the girl group, there will be secrets about the corresponding conditions before each round of competition Tasks. No.1 who meets the task conditions has the right to be exempted from being selected as a candidate for elimination in the next round of selection competition. The number of secret tasks before each competition is uncertain; the competition results will be based on 30% of the votes of the judges and the votes of the audience. 70% decided to eliminate candidates.

At the beginning of the draft, when everyone was not very familiar with each person's personality strength, appearance was the only point that fans could get, so four good-looking trainees quickly stood out from the crowd of trainees, and because of Netizens' Amway speed quickly became a hot search, they are Chinese trainees Fu Ange and Ye Hanyu, and Japanese trainees Hashimoto Moyu and Araki Yuri.

The fans of the four picks are already eager to try and compete in the subsequent voting. The voting channel has not yet been opened. According to everyone's popularity, the popularity ranking in the future can be roughly predicted.

2014年8月15日晚10点，《5×3》第一期正式上线，官方的投票通道也同时开启。

CJE&M's first selection of a girl group with great fanfare naturally attracted the attention of many people. Seeing that various entertainment companies are beginning to prepare to launch a new girl group, at this juncture, CJE&M's such a big move has made many idols. These trainees who participated in the survival battle were also more curious.

For example, the BTS who are sitting together in front of the TV because of Fang PD's order.

The seven boys, restrained by Fang PD sitting next to them, watched the beginning of the introduction of each trainee's profile on TV, and their inner anticipation and excitement could hardly be suppressed.

"Does Fang PD have any impressive children?" Teacher Sun, who was eager for spoilers before the show even started, couldn't help asking.

Fang PD touched his chin, squinted his eyes and put on a somewhat inscrutable expression: "There are two that are particularly impressive. Two completely different choices, but they both cater to the theme of the first round of competition very well. .”

"5×3" first round stage theme: Showyourself

Invited judges: JYP representative: well-known singer and producer Park Jinyoung, BIGHIT representative: gold medal composer music producer Bang Shih, FNC representative: famous music producer Han Seungho

The competition started in order of age, and the three judges who saw Jiang Yue's dance performance ended, but remained expressionless.A few simple comments and encouragements, such comments continued until Fu Ange's appearance.

"Hello judges, I'm Fu Ange AnG, and I'm a rapper." Except Fang PD raised his eyebrows and expressed interest after hearing that he was a rapper, the other two sat there looking through the contestant's information with a lack of interest .

"M.Cthemax's "Don't Be Happy"? Doesn't this song have rap?" JYP immediately became interested after hearing the prelude.

"Did you adapt it yourself?" Han Shenghao replied after thinking for a moment.

"The timbre is good, the resonance is good, the breath is enough, and the treble is not inferior, isn't it a rapper?" JYP already knew it halfway through hearing it.

The rap roles in the group, except for a small number of people who have mixed with underground and are really talented, the rest are not rappers, they are just rap roles, and most of these are due to flaws in singing, but they have other talents. The advantages make the company reluctant to give up, and it has to choose a position under compromise.

After Fu Ange finished singing, the curious JYP immediately raised the microphone in front of him and asked, "Why did you choose this song? Isn't it a rapper?"

"The theme of this round is Showyourself, isn't it? So I showed a little bit of my weakness. As for the rap ability, it's more exciting to dig out treasures a little bit, isn't it?" Fu Ange's confident look successfully aroused It caught the attention of the three judges, and at the same time made Park Ruizhen, who was positioned as a rapper in the audience but took the conventional route to prepare for a rap, gritted her teeth.

Fu Ange stepped off the stage and gave a high five to Yu Chengcheng who had been waiting in the audience early.

"It's just opportunistic, I don't bother to use this method to gain attention~" Park Ruizhen crossed her arms and looked disdainful.

"I'm afraid you can't use this method to attract the attention of the judges." Before Fu Ange could speak, Yu Chengcheng snapped back, "Let's talk about when you stop shouting and chopping when you sing high notes."

"This is a survival show. It's a good way to increase the topic and popularity by yourself. There is no difference between good and bad. But you, don't blame me for not reminding you, don't think that there are only you and me in the competition and you and I will sit firmly on the Diaoyutai , Our competition seems to be not as great as dancers and vocalists, but what if the final combination does not need a rapper? It is always good to have one more advantage.”

Rapper is not a necessity. There are definitely not a few girl group songs that do not have rap at all. If you don’t increase your chips and keep going, you may appear on the elimination list next time.

Regarding Fu Ange's advice, Park Ruizhen didn't seem to take it seriously at all. Instead, she snorted and went on stage to perform after Nana Yamamoto stepped down.

"Why are you talking to her so much, and she can't listen? People don't appreciate it, why are you so kind!" Yu Chengcheng looked at Park Ruizhen's appearance and gasped, "By the way, what do you think about this survival battle?" How many? If there are no accidents, Pei Jingya should have made it this time." Yu Chengcheng looked at Pei Jingya, who sang on stage and received unanimous praise from the judges, and said.

"I think...me, Pei Jingya, Hashimoto Moyu, Shinki Yuri, and Gu Linzi should be relatively stable. Youna is too young, so I don't know if the company will let her debut now. It's an unknown, and..." Fu Ange glanced at Ye Hanyu, who was drinking water calmly, "There is an even bigger unknown..."

She only came to the headquarters a few days before the competition, and everyone knew nothing about her strength. However, based on her appearance, as long as her strength is not too bad, it should be more than enough to be a part of the women's team.

Yu Chengcheng was not surprised that Fu Ange did not put her name in it. Compared with the previous mountains, she is indeed a little inferior. After all, she is relatively old, and there is nothing special about her. It's dangerous, but there's someone more dangerous than her, isn't there?Yu Chengcheng looked at Jiang Yue, who had become increasingly restless since the performance ended, and kept rubbing the water bottle in her hand, and hooked her lips.
