Chapter 032 The Second Round of Performance Selection Ends
The addition of new members seemed to have brought a special magical energy to Group B of Adolescence. The team members who had been missing for a long time now appeared one after another, completely shattering the strange and quiet atmosphere in the room.
In the individual rankings of the first round, except for the trio with an uncanny tacit understanding, the rankings of the other team members are all in the range of 32-49, just before the 55th place in the first round of elimination.
Although the survival pressure is not as great as that of the back-row players, they are still on the edge of danger. Therefore, the inner OS of the players who joined later is surprisingly consistent with that of An Zhuxuan.
After all, we are not amateurs who have never debuted. We have been in the entertainment industry for so many years and understand some of the twists and turns in it.
There are only two possibilities for the second performance with Kim Yoo-ri, Lee Eun-seong, and Roh Yi-yi: 1. Become a tool to set the mood; 2. Become a villain who jumps around.
If I could get a script personally prepared by the production team that was incredibly annoying, with a complete storyline that led straight to the finals, I wouldn't mind giving it my all. Being black and red isn't scary; being ignored is.
Of course, all this is based on profitability, otherwise no one would be willing to be the thankless clown.
After being surprised, everyone had different thoughts in mind in order to prevent their competition journey from ending here.
Seeing that the team members had all arrived, Jin Youli took the initiative to bring up the topic for the first time: "Would you like to sort out your ages first?"
"OK."
"Let's sort it out first."
Hearing this, the local Korean players all echoed.
Only by having a basic concept of age can you distinguish the people to whom honorifics are used. Otherwise, if you act too disrespectfully, you will be judged by others.
Before anything is concluded, popularity among the public is very important and cannot be easily ruined.
Lu Wei blinked, but didn't raise any objections. As long as the new team members didn't use the age difference to force themselves on Korean specialties, she was willing to respect the culture of her seniors.
Even in her cognition, if the age difference is no more than 3-5 years, everyone is the same age. If it is 1-2 years, there is no need to worry about it. In terms of seniority among family relatives, there is no distinction between older sisters and younger sisters. Everyone is the same age.
But nowadays, when you are away from home, it is basic etiquette to follow local customs. She cannot cover her ears and act like a clown, saying "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen", and act recklessly in her madness and stupidity, making all the contestants feel inferior.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Jin Youli took the lead and said, "I am 26 years old."
Li Enxing followed up: "I am also 26 years old this year."
Although the two participated in the 101 series of talent shows two years apart, their ages are similar, which further confirmed the importance of becoming famous early in life among the contestants.
The sooner you become known to the public, the more room you have for error. Life is a process of constant trial and error. Only by constantly trying can you find the path that suits you.
According to the order of entering the room, it was Lu Wei's turn to report her age. She couldn't figure out the division of the first half of the year and the second half of the year in Goryeo by adding one and subtracting one, and couldn't figure out the boundary between the real age and the nominal age.
It was too difficult for her to calculate these things. It was not the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division that was difficult, but her age would increase by two years out of thin air, which meant that her New Year's money would be reduced by two years for no reason, and she would lose some of the joy of the New Year.
This was too cruel for her young age!
Just follow the international version and say: "Subtract the year of birth from this year, I am 18 years old."
? ? !!
Everyone was a little surprised to hear this.
It's not because Lu Wei is too young. There have always been idols in the industry who debuted at the age of 14 or 15. In this environment of frequent updates and iterations, they have seen many turbulent and rolling waves.
If we really judge ourselves by others, even the pufferfish would have to admit defeat and adopt a less conspicuous name. The entertainment industry can be quite extreme, both caring about age and not caring about it at all.
Compared to the others, Lu Wei was at least an adult. Furthermore, Miracle Girls hadn't been in the industry that long, and most of the members were between 18 and 24 years old.
The reason why everyone was surprised was not because of her appearance or her clothes, but simply because of the state Lu Wei showed.
In an unfamiliar and strange environment, facing unfamiliar high-ranking teammates, she remained calm and composed, with a rationality beyond her age.
This special temperament is clearly not the product of social experience. It is the clear-headedness of the person who knows what they want and what they should do, and the unwavering determination to move forward after making a choice.
That's why everyone is surprised.
Lu Wei noticed the slight emotional fluctuations on everyone's faces, and she probably knew what others were thinking.
But she doesn't think she is special. She is just an ordinary human being who has received nine years of compulsory education, does not waste time on herself, and does not blame herself.
Therefore, amidst everyone's inquiring gazes, Lu Wei restrained the color in his pupils and calmly and naturally turned his gaze to the next team member to be introduced, An Zhuxuan.
An Zhuxuan had long since given up on her playful ways. Before she could get a feel for the team members' personalities, she wasn't going to say anything. After receiving a hint from Lu Wei, she began to list her age methodically: "I'm 23 years old."
Seeing this, the remaining three teammates quickly followed.
Cao Yumi: "I am 20 years old."
Bai Chengyuan: "I am 22 years old."
Ji In-young: "I'm 19 years old."
After all the talk, everyone had a certain understanding of their teammates' situation. People like Kim Yoo-ri and Lee Eun-seong, who were not easy to provoke in the first place, are now even more difficult to provoke.
Of course, judging by Lu Wei's performance, it didn't seem like she could be manipulated at will. Using age to divide seniors and juniors didn't seem to be very useful in their team.
It really makes those who hear it cry and those who see it feel sad.
All you have is the diamond drill but no ability to do the work.
Kim Yoo-ri naturally noticed this problem, but she was fine, having never intended to make a fuss about it. She only brought up the age issue as part of the program's schedule, aiming to give the team more screen time.
Only she knows her painstaking efforts.
After sorting out the ages, everyone was preparing to allocate beds. Kim Yoo-ri opened her mouth slightly, but before she could utter the first syllable, she was interrupted by laughter coming from next door.
"Haha!!! We're on the same team again."
"I'm so happy to be able to continue teaming up with everyone!"
"Oh my god, is this tacit understanding?"
More and more contestants came to the dormitory building, and the buzz of conversation came from all directions.
Lu Wei seriously suspected that the walls separating the dormitories were not made of bricks and stones, but of plywood, a kind of thing that looked like tofu dregs.
Damn, she forgot the most important thing.
Earplugs......
I hope her good character won't be eroded by the nitpicking production crew. I hope her kind heart won't be tainted by her sweet words.
Although Kim Yoo-ri and Lee Eun-seong had come here once, the failed experience was always not a pleasant one to recall.
Hearing these noisy sounds, the memories that they had selectively forgotten were forced back into their heads. They recalled countless midnights when the neighbors' doors came in and out and made a bang! bang! bang!
These problems caused by objective environment are too unfriendly for players with fragile nerves and poor sleep quality.
"Hmm...everyone, choose your beds." Kim Yoo-ri let out a breath, clearing her mind and continuing with the process. As long as she could make it to the end and successfully become popular again, none of this mattered.
In order to create a positive image, she did not force the players to sort by age, but instead made a relatively fair suggestion: "We can choose the bed in the order of the palm and the back of the hand."
As soon as these words were spoken, if the favorability bar could be visualized, you would see +1, +1, +1 popping up like crazy above everyone's head.
Although the camera couldn't capture the difference, Lu Wei could clearly see that everyone's body language and expressions were much more relaxed, no longer stiff and tense.
Tsk...
In the entertainment industry, is there anything more enjoyable than meeting normal colleagues?
No, not at all.
An Joo-hyun, braving the world's wrath, told the truth: she was actually quite annoyed by those seniors who relied on their age to give orders. Regardless of whether Kim Yoo-ri's friendliness was fake or genuine, meeting a good, high-ranking contestant was the greatest blessing of joining this team.
It's the same for others. It's better to have a fair leader than a biased one.
Team cohesion is improved little by little through small things.
"If everyone has no objection, let's get started." Jin Youli was very satisfied with everyone's expressions. Only when there is a good relationship between the team members can they unite when facing difficulties.
"Okay, I'll do it." An Zhuxuan took on this thankless job in the eyes of high-ranking contestants, and worked hard to make her voice appear in the main film.
Hearing this, the more motivated team members began to plan how to grab the spotlight for themselves next time. Even the smallest little thing is still meat, and if you add up the little things, maybe someone will be attracted by their ambition.
When Jin Youli heard An Zhuxuan's words, she didn't nod directly. Instead, after looking at Lu Wei and Li Enxing, she agreed: "Okay, then Zhuxuan will call."
As long as the two of them don't explicitly say no, based on her personal ranking, she actually has a lot of say in the team.
Lu Wei was extremely sensitive to other people's gazes. When Jin Youli looked over, she raised her eyelids and looked back.
Their eyes met briefly, and they both saw some deep-seated personality traits of the other.
Kim Yoo-ri is quite interesting, calculating things with a mental scale and striving for goals. Also, perhaps due to her many ups and downs in the entertainment industry, she still has a bit of a slippery streak.
He's a very unique player.
Lu Wei couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming training life. There should be a lot of fun to do after dinner.
Of course, the other team members caught the look that Kim Yoo-ri gave Lu Wei and Li Enxing, but they were not as skilled as them and there was nothing much to say. Their status in the team was not as good as that of the higher-ranked players, and they were still not as good as An Joo-hyun.
Besides, the rankings will change. If the program team must have a dark horse, why can't it be me?
An Zhuxuan didn't have time to pay attention to those who couldn't eat grapes. She raised the corners of her mouth and said cheerfully: "Okay, if everyone is ready, I will start right away."
As the voice of "Palms and backs of hands!" came out, in order not to hit other people, Lu Wei curled up his arms against his chest, leaving only the palm part extended. The overall shape was 90% similar to the forelimbs of a dinosaur, and the literal meaning of "you have short hands" appeared.
"Puchi~~~" Cao Youmei couldn't help it. From her perspective, Lu Wei's posture was too funny.
With a leader, the other team members broke through the defense one after another, and even Kim Yoo-ri and Lee Eun-seong had smiles on their faces.
“Hahaha~~~”
enmmm.......
Lu Wei began to dislike everyone who laughed out loud. "Wow, wow, wow~" Everyone laughed at her, but she was the funniest.
It's all the fault of the production team. They made such a small room that I can't even stretch my hands out. I'm so angry! I'm shaking! I'm so cold!
"Puff..." Jin Youli sighed, immediately earning Lu Wei's resentful gaze. For the sake of the hard-earned harmony of the team, she quickly suppressed her smile and said, "Um... continue."
An Zhuxuan had an unshakable smile on her face, and the tone of her voice rose a lot when she shouted "Palms and backs of hands!"
Lu Wei: Draw circles and curse... Merit -1, -1, -1.
Destroy it! Let the heavy rain fall completely, so that the struggle on her face cannot be seen.
After a tough competition and dozens of hand-to-hand exchanges, the battle for the dormitory bed finally ended.
Lu Wei was in a bad mood, but luckily he chose the lower bunk that was not covered by the cameras.
Sure enough, this is the damn law of conservation of energy. She was planning to watch others have fun, but now it's clear that others are watching her have fun.
After a series of operations, all contestants' individual competition repertoires were selected. After the program crew had shot enough material, they turned on the public loudspeaker and the director's voice came out from it.
"I'm glad that all the contestants were able to make their choices during the individual song selection round, and I look forward to your performance in the second performance. Tomorrow morning at 8:00, please gather in front of the dormitory building according to your current group. You've worked hard today, and now you can rest. Good night."
It is difficult to comment on the words "good night" as soon as they appear.
Too normal and heartwarming words are mostly lies in variety show recordings.
As expected, the director told the contestants to rest one second, and then the next second, the face-slapping part appeared. The staff with blue cards began to call the contestants according to their dormitories to prepare for the interview.
As for the rest and washing segments, they will be spliced together later and no one knows the exact time.
