97 Celes
This envelope appeared last year, and it appeared in Yuan Xiao's hand again on the final stage of the debut night this year. The same five names were in front of the same trainees who were holding hands tightly.
The difference is that compared to last year, Yuan Xiao is now confident that she can run the girl group well and give the trainees a good future, so that their efforts and sweat will not be in vain.
The girls stood next to each other, interlocking their fingers, and looked up at Yuan Xiao, watching her open the envelope and take out the list inside. The ink marks were still fresh in their minds.
"In the past 120 days, 36 trainees have performed 57 stages in the second season of Idol Untitled. We have recorded more than 50,000 hours of their practice sessions in the studio. More than 13,000 viewers came to the show, and together with the 7 million fans online, we witnessed the growth of each trainee. Thank you."
Yuan Xiao led all the trainees to bow in unison to the audience.
"Thank you to all the trainees, every one of you is excellent and amazing, and you should thank yourselves too."
A smile broke out on Xia Wentao's tearful face. She looked around at her friends and raised the hands of the trainees on both sides high.
They gathered together, holding hands and standing shoulder to shoulder. They didn't need a microphone, but their voices of "thank you" were sincere and clear, and they were carried far away by the evening breeze.
The audience gradually began to shout out each of their names, two or three words combined into a wave of voices, everyone was looking forward to the good fortune of making their own debut. Every trainee was a very good and excellent girl, and even if it was not possible, they wanted to let them know that someone was here for them.
The online screen was also filled with the names of the thirty-six people, and the speed of refreshing made it almost impossible to see clearly. Yuan Xin's strict confidentiality measures have always been effective. No one knows who will debut until the last moment. Fans online and offline can do nothing but pray devoutly on this final stage. They can only watch Yuan Xiao open the paper with his name on it.
"In the second season of "Idol Untitled", the new girl group Celes will debut with five members as follows:"
There are still five people, and almost all the fans felt a shock in their hearts.
She raised the microphone to her lips and uttered the first name clearly:
"Leng Ci."
Almost half of the people breathed a sigh of relief. As the recognized face of the show, whether in terms of the number of fans, stickiness or recognition from passers-by, if Leng Ci did not make his debut, people all over the country would say that the show was shady.
The coolest sister Leng Ci did not let her emotions overwhelm her reason even on the stage of her debut night. She did not take the microphone, but spoke softly to the people around her on the stage, and then firmly held Shen Ying's hand that she wanted to pull back.
Someone who had been watching them straight ahead detected Leng Ci's lip movements, which seemed to be: "Let's go together."
After last year, Yuan Xiao had given up on letting the kids express their feelings before announcing the list. He gave everyone a little time to release their emotions and simply read out the second name:
"Song Lianqing."
In just one year, the little girl walked from the atrium of the shopping mall to the center of the stage. Buried gold is still gold. As long as it is placed in the right place, it can still shine.
She is the one in the girl group and also the one with the most diverse styles. She can adapt well to any group she is in. From the first to the fifth public performance, plus the creation of the theme song, she has been the captain all the way. No matter what kind of song selection and stage, she can lead the members to complete it well.
Song Lianqing had prepared herself mentally, and she wanted to appear calm and composed, but when she heard her name, her emotions got out of control. The trainee next to her held her face, wiped away the tears from her cheeks, and gently comforted her, asking her not to cry.
You deserve it.
The fans in the audience also supported each other in this way, and those who didn't bring tissues also received sharing from all sides. At this time, there was no distinction between who were the fans, and the girls' natural empathy made it so that there was no difference between the stage and the audience at this moment.
"Xia Wentao."
"Mo Shuangzhu."
This pair of roommates have always stood together. Their bond was established on the day they were assigned to dormitories after the tryout, and it will continue in the future, which is very rare.
The relationship between the thirty-six of them is very good, but there are always some things that make the relationship closer when people get along with each other, maybe it is the friendship of sharing weal and woe, or maybe it is just the daily days and nights together.
Xia Wentao's dimples were also filled with tears. She simply picked up her good roommate and spun her around. The trainees who were crying beside them were also amused by the two of them. Yes, how lucky they were that the big dancer and the big producer, the opera style and the traditional Chinese style, could continue to cooperate again.
There is only one spot left.
On Leng Ci's left is Shen Ying, and on his right is Xin Mengting. There are five or six more candidates on the hot debut list, but Yuan Xiao will only read out one more name.
The trainees hugged each other like a group of little animals cuddling each other. It was really good for the eyes to see the beautiful girls hugging each other like this, but no one cared about this now.
Zheng Xiyan, who was sitting under the stage, held her heart and felt like she needed oxygen. This every year was really unbearable. Last year, when she was supporting Yan Fan, she was at least announced as the third member early. This year, there is only one person left to form a group, but her TOP1 Chen Ying has not been announced yet.
Even though we know that the trainees who did not debut last year are doing well now, except for those who chose to return to life, the others have gradually begun to make a name for themselves in this circle. Almost all the actors have been admitted to good professional colleges for further studies, and the singers are also composing and releasing songs. In the summer, some of them re-formed groups in other programs, and when they returned to the company, they would greet Stary and the others with a smile, saying that they were waiting for us to challenge them.
But such a long summer is worth a good result.
Yuan Xiao did not let this torture last for long. If an advertisement was released at this moment, Yuan Xin would probably be scolded and become a hot topic on the Internet.
The last name.
"Xin Mengting."
Xin Mengting looked up in disbelief. Her first reaction was to look at Chen Ying beside her. She wanted to say something but was interrupted by Chen Ying. They knew each other too well. Chen Ying read the words that Xin Mengting wanted to question from her eyes and gently accepted her emotions.
Shen Ying had probably known Xin Mengting the longest among all the people, and she knew that she had always felt unworthy, but this occasion was not suitable for her to say what she wanted to say.
The company and the original chief producer must have their own considerations in their final choice. Maybe they will explain to them the reasons for choosing each person to form a new group later, or maybe not. But this is not what Xin Mengting should ask on this occasion. Once her words are out, they will be interpreted differently by others, which is not a good thing for Xin Mengting herself.
Although Shen Ying was sad, she also believed that the company would have other arrangements for them. Perhaps it was because she had always been the more determined one between the two of them. She was even a little fortunate. If the person chosen today was not Meng Ting, she might really give up her job in front of the stage, which would be such a pity.
She is so outstanding, she deserves a place to debut in a group long ago.
Chen Ying lay on Leng Ci's shoulder, and Xin Mengting hugged her from behind. She hugged them both back even harder, and told herself in her heart:
It doesn’t matter, she will still persevere, just like what she said in the trailer, ten or twenty years later, she hopes she can still be on the stage.
Leng Ci hugged his friends one by one, and was the first to extend his hand in the middle of everyone, picked up the microphone and said loudly: "Let's make a promise! See you at the top!"
“See you at the top!”
Shouts and folded hands were the gestures they often used to cheer each other up before going on stage, but now they were making a promise for many years to come.
“See you at the top!”
The audiences in the audience also looked on, each with a tearful voice. The same four words filled the live screen, almost freezing for a moment.
Cold fireworks sprayed out from around the stage, and the five people who debuted as a group were gradually crowded forward. Yuan Xiao looked at her girls tenderly, waved for them to come to her, and bowed again to express her gratitude to the audience friends who had already broken down in tears.
“Thank you all for your support for the second season of Idol Untitled. We will see you next season.”
"Celes girl group debuts today."
-
The next day, when we first walked into the conference room of Yuanxin Company, which was specially used for group operations meetings, we had no intention of paying attention to this birthplace of a series of popular variety shows and beautiful material designs. Each of the five people wore large sunglasses to cover their eyes that were swollen like peaches from crying.
When they saw each other at the door just now, Song Lianqing was already feeling a little exhausted again.
Yuan Xiao came over from behind, patted Song Lianqing's head, and pointed to a seat for them: "Sit down."
Soon, all the operations department members of the girl group arrived, and the conference room was crowded again. Assistant Liu called on representatives from each department and nodded to Yuan Xiao.
Yuan Xiao thought about it, and first called the core design department: "Let's show them the concept and positioning of the new group first." It also changed his mood. Of course, the company and Yuan Xiao chose each of them for a reason. They must have chosen the most suitable people to form Celes.
The staff sister projected the PPT that had been approved in the internal meeting onto the big screen. The page that originally only had the positioning description was now filled with the names of each of the five of them. Yuan Xiao took a laser pointer and directed the staff to display the first page:
"twin."
The core concept of the new girl group Celes.
Naturally, this concept was finalized after many discussions and improvements within the company. It might be a bit complicated to explain the cause and effect, so Yuan Xiao simply showed each of them their corresponding results.
The five people looked up. Each of their names was followed by two terms. Yuan Xiao summarized them and found the true meaning of twins:
"Xin Mengting, Mo Shuangzhu, and Celes are the dual producers."
"Leng Ci, Xin Mengting, double-door."
"Song Lianqing, Leng Ci, double rapper."
"Xia Wentao and Song Lianqing are the two main dancers."
"And the last ones, Mo Shuangzhu and Xia Wentao, the dual lead singers."
So why it has to be these five people? When they are together, they are the real Celes, the Chinese, talented, and best girl group.
