Chapter 77 What does practice mean to you? After the first group of trainees finished their assessment, it was the turn of the second group. Most of the members of this group have been trainees in other companies, and their basic skills are much stronger than the previous group. However, the stage performance they presented was not as impressive as the previous group. "It was a very stable live performance. There were no obvious mistakes, but it wasn't eye-catching either." Lee Ji-hyun gave a very pertinent comment. As the saying goes, small success depends on promotion, big success depends on luck, metaphysics does exist in the idol industry. For example, the members of this group obviously have better singing and dancing skills than the previous group, and their height and leg length far outshine the little potatoes in the previous group. Even if you just look at the appearance, the difference is not very obvious. But they just lack a bit of eye-catcher. They don't have that strong reversal charm on and off the stage. They are far less attractive than the members of the previous group and can't catch the audience's attention at once. "Objectively speaking, their age and figure are actually more suitable for the girl crush style, or a slightly mature sexy style. We can't completely deny their efforts and persistence just because they can't perfectly digest the style of "Glass Beads." Jin Shiming whispered to the people in the judges' seats.
"Glass Beads" is the debut song he planned for the new girl group. Whether the members can digest this style will undoubtedly be an important indicator of whether they can debut. However, Jin Shiming still hopes to give each trainee a fair evaluation from a more objective and comprehensive dimension. Even if they failed to be selected into BD Entertainment's new girl group later, it does not mean that they are not capable enough. It's just that there are people who fit the style of the new girl group better than them and do better. Jin Shiming does not want to brand them as losers, but rather hopes that they can grow from this experience. By then, whether they go to other companies to seek a way out or stay in BD Entertainment and wait for opportunities, they will have more confidence and assurance. "The last group is the one I'm most looking forward to. They performed very well in previous practices. It's no exaggeration to say that their performance of the song 'Glass Beads' alone is already close to the live level of the debut group," said Lee Ji-hyun. "I'm looking forward to this group too!" Jin Shiming nodded in agreement. Among the members of the last group, there are potential ACEs like Huang Enfei who are good at singing and dancing, and two big lead singers Choi Yuna and Kim Sejeong. Even those in charge of edging are members like Jin Shaoqing who have practiced for several years and have solid basic skills. To be honest, this group is really an overachiever in the monthly assessment. "Please always protect me so that I won't be broken~ My precious you, I love you more than anyone else~~~" After Kim So-jeong was in charge of bridging the gap, Choi Yuna and Kim Sejeong teamed up to perform a high-pitched harmony. My goodness, this is not just a headache, it's almost enough to make your head spin! "President-nim has a keen eye. He actually picked up a rare and powerful lead vocalist like Yu Na!" "Sejeong's singing skills have improved a lot since the last monthly assessment. If she continues like this, she can even debut as a solo artist!" "The two of them worked very well together. Not only did they not steal the limelight from each other, but they assisted each other very well." "Huang Enfei's C position is quite eye-catching. Her singing skills may not be as strong as the two main singers, but she is definitely at the level of a lead singer. Moreover, in terms of the stability of singing and dancing, she is almost the best among the members." "In fact, Shao Qing is not unsingable. Take this bridge for example, isn't it quite catchy?" "I can't help it. The vocal line of this group is too good. I even think it's too extravagant to put two main singers, Sejeong and Yuna, together!" A group of company executives were exchanging opinions at once, all with smiles on their faces. BD Entertainment has a wealth of talented trainees, and with the gold medal producer Jin Shiming, this new girl group that is still in preparation has a promising future! "Everyone has prepared very carefully during this period. Thank you for your hard work!" Jin Shiming stood up and began to summarize.
Even though Jin Shiming has not been paying much attention to the trainees' affairs recently, he has learned a lot about their current situation from the staff. Huang Enfei's arm was dislocated, Jin Yiyuan's thigh muscle was strained, Choi Yuna's body was covered with bruises, Saito Asuka was so tired that she became autistic, and Zheng Yilin cried every day when she went to the toilet... The most serious case was Jin Shaoqing. One day when she was practicing the dance of "Glass Bead", after she did a windmill movement with her arms, one of her eyes suddenly became blind. Jin Shaoqing herself was quite calm. She immediately realized that her lens had fallen off. She told the trainee team leader and planned to go to the hospital by herself. The trainee team leader was very responsible. After realizing the seriousness of the matter, he immediately reported it to the director Jin Hengen. Jin Hengen and Jin Shaoqing are both "old subordinates" brought out by Jin Shiming from DSP company. He naturally knows that Jin Shaoqing and Jin Shiming have a close private relationship, so he reported the matter to Jin Shiming. In the end, Jin Shiming personally took Jin Shaoqing to the emergency room and had the operation done. Perhaps due to genetics, Jin Shaoqing's eyes were naturally fragile and she underwent surgery for lens detachment when she was only 8 years old. Previously, when she was a trainee at DSP, she once experienced lens detachment. The doctor warned her at the time that even though the operation was successful, there was a chance of a recurrence as long as she engaged in strenuous activities. It was precisely because of the health risks, coupled with other considerations, that DSP postponed Kim So-jeong's debut plan several times, and she was finally brought to BD Entertainment by Kim Se-myung. Even though it was so difficult and painful, Jin Shaoqing and others still gritted their teeth and practiced for their dream of debuting! "Today, I want you to think seriously about this question: 'What does practice mean to you?'" Jin Shiming came to the blackboard in the practice room and wrote a line of words on it with a marker. “There is no right or wrong answer, just your truest thoughts. But please remember your answer at this moment, it will become a beacon to guide your future path.” After Jin Shiming finished speaking, he left the practice room directly. Upon seeing this, the other staff members also walked out of the practice room, leaving only a group of trainees lost in thought. After a while, Jin Shaoqing stood up and walked to the blackboard, picked up a pen and wrote her answer under the question written by Jin Shiming. “Practice is like a subway loop that never stops, like a clock that never stops, it is a period of confused time.” Jin Shaoqing's strength is not outstanding, he is a bit older, and he has health problems. Even though she practiced very hard, she still felt lost from time to time. Of course, Jin Shaoqing was not the only one who felt confused. A group of trainees left their answers on the blackboard. “It’s like a long-distance race with no end in sight, or a maze with no clear path ahead. — Jin Yiyuan” "Practice is like a mirror. Every day you can see the person in the mirror, still like a fledgling, not yet grown up. - Saito Asuka" "The process of becoming a better self. - Choi Yuna" “The change from 0 to 1.——Cheng Xiao” "A telescope that allows me to see my dreams up close. - Kim Sejeong" "The sunshine and rain that made me sprout and grow. - Ding Enfei"
"My friends make me more fulfilled and valuable. - Huang Enfei" "For the most shining moment, move forward step by step. - Jung Ye-rin" …… The photographer who shot the debut documentary faithfully recorded this scene and gave a magnified close-up of the blackboard filled with the girls' answers.
