TVN Broadcasting Bureau Head Office Building, No. 66, Sangamsan-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul.
Music Center Studio No. 3 is located on the second floor.
Minister Han Sun-ah is inspecting the scene layout at the recording site.
Although this is a preliminary audition before the official launch of the program, it will be put on the official channel of naver.com for contestant popularity voting later, so the scene of the audition cannot be handled casually.
"buzz"
The phone call comes in.
Han Shanya answered the phone: "Hello, Representative Nim."
"Minister Han, nim, we have reached the second floor. Are we in the recording room No. 3?"
"Yes, I'm in the studio and recording room"
When she turned around, Han Shanya saw a team of five people.
The person walking in the front was not Pei Zhonghan who was talking to her on the phone, but a short-haired woman wearing a black suit and high heels.
Han Shanya had seen this person in news reports. He was Cui Minjing, the executive director of Zion Entertainment Company and the second princess of SK Group.
One position behind her on the left are Bae Jong Han, the representative of Zion Entertainment Company, and Bae Yunjing, the top choreographer.
On the right are well-known producers Rado and Choi Kyu Sung.
This five-person team is the guest judge of this talent show and is currently the strongest lineup that zion entertainment company can produce.
"Director Choi, nim, this is the first time we meet. I am Han Sunya from TVN Broadcasting Bureau Music Center. Nice to meet you."
Cui Minjing smiled and nodded.
Pei Jonghan stepped forward to confirm the position arrangement for today's trials with Han Shanya.
Han Shanya guided the five people to the front row of the stage audience area, where five very comfortable sofas and chairs had been installed, and nameplates had been placed at corresponding positions.
at the same time
In the corridor on the second floor of the studio
The players who came to participate in the Seoul trials today are making intense preparations.
The assistant PD of the Music Center production team is responsible for arranging the order of contestants to perform on stage and other tasks.
eight fifty
Ten minutes before the tryout starts.
Minister Han Sunya and PD Ahn were checking the list of contestants for today's competition on the side of the stage.
No matter how many girls in country H have dreams of becoming stars, there are a total of 500 contestants who signed up for the Seoul station today in just one talent show.
This is based on the condition that those with trainee contracts cannot participate in this audition.
Counting the number of applicants for the trials in the other five cities, a total of 3,200 people signed up for the six stations.
nine o'clock
The selection competition officially begins
A group of ten people were given number plates according to the order of registration. The contestants put the number plates on their chests. After entering the studio and recording hall, everyone had one minute to perform.
If the judges stop the performance midway, the performance of the audition will end.
For the players, the golden minute is likely to affect their future development.
The top ten contestants are the most nervous. They show themselves in front of the judges in the first round and have no idea about the judges' preferences and review standards.
Line up and take the stage.
Bae Jong Han, who has experience in this area, took over the role of the MC and tried his best to ease the tense atmosphere. He smiled and said: "Have the children had breakfast? Don't be nervous. Just show your best side. Remember to introduce yourself before the performance."
oh."
Not involving other entertainment companies, all the people here today are individual trainees or girls who have terminated their trainee contracts. The introduction lasts only about ten seconds at most.
Contestant No. 1 came up and bowed 90 degrees to greet: "Hello judges, I am Contestant No. 1. My name is Jang Yuanying. I was born in 2004 in Seoul. I am 14 years old this year."
Jury seat
Cui Minjing, who was involved in the entertainment industry for the first time, was calm on the surface, but was surprised on the inside. She looked through Zhang Yuanying's registration information and recalled what Bae Jonghan said before. It seems to be true. She started working on becoming an artist at the age of middle school.
Be prepared, the parents of these children are thoughtful enough.
Thinking about when I was 14 years old, the only thing on my mind was to study hard. My parents also talked about studying, such as studying in country M or studying in China after middle school.
Wouldn't it affect their studies if these children join entertainment companies as trainees?
Pei Zhonghan and others were not surprised by this situation.
After reading the information, Director Cui Minjing picked up the microphone, looked up at Zhang Yuanying, who was on the far left side of the stage, and said, "Student Zhang Yuanying, you can start your performance."
What can you do in one minute, sing half a song or dance a well-choreographed dance.
Zhang Yuanying chose to dance.
Pei Yunjing watched very carefully, and quite recognized Zhang Yuanying's dance performance, and did not interrupt her during the one-minute performance.
After Zhang Yuanying finished her performance, Pei Yunjing picked up the microphone and asked, "Have you ever studied dance before?"
on the stage
Zhang Yuanying answered honestly: "I had experience as a trainee before."
It didn't seem to be written in the personal information, so Pei Zhonghan asked: "Which company did you work as a trainee in?"
"starship"
"Okay, thank you for your performance"
After retreating from the middle of the stage to the first position on the left, Zhang Yuanying looked nervously at the people at the judges' table.
She gave up her starship trainee contract to participate in this talent show. This was a decision she made after discussing it with her family.
When she originally learned about this program, Zhang Yuanying was a little hesitant.
Mainly zion entertainment company is a newly established company.
But after seeing IU, Tara and Zhao Yincheng joining the company one after another, Zhang Yuanying felt that this company still had a strong background.
Until a few days ago, the second princess of SK Group landed at Zion Entertainment Entertainment Company. Now no one would doubt the strength of Zion Entertainment Entertainment Company.
stage right
Li Chenghao also came to the studio and recording hall when Zhang Yuanying completed his one-minute performance.
Hearing that Zhang Yuanying turned out to be a trainee of Starship, Li Chenghao smiled and said to Han Shanya who was standing next to him: "Minister Han, why is this Starship Entertainment company again?"
"Yeah, it's starship again."
There were many words that Han Shanya couldn't say.
When she was reporting on the overseas auditions before, she also expressed that Zion Entertainment Entertainment had just been established and was not as good as other entertainment companies.
Is Li Chenghao slapping her online now?
Not everyone in the first round of ten got a full minute of performance time.
After it was over, Pei Zhonghan told them to go back and wait for news. If they successfully enter the knockout round, they will receive a notification from the program team tomorrow. Everything will be subject to the notification.
Li Chenghao simply sat in the corner on the right side of the stage and asked Han Shanya to give him the contestant information for the Seoul station today.
The fifth round of performances ended and Li Chenghao also read all the information.
Frowning slightly, he stood up and handed the information to Han Shanya.
In Han Shanya's eyes, Li Chenghao's expression was a bit gloomy, and he seemed to be quite dissatisfied with the trials in Seoul.
Li Chenghao is indeed dissatisfied. None of the contestants who signed up for the competition this week are trainees who have been terminated by S.M, YG, and JYP.
It seems that the trainees from those large companies have not yet become interested in zion entertainment company.
From the beginning to the end, Li Chenghao did not say hello to Cui Minjing and the others. After leaving the studio and recording hall, Li Chenghao went directly back to the president's office.
He leaned on his office chair and dialed the phone.
After the beep, Li Chenghao went straight to the topic: "Reporter Park Heejun, come to Jamsil Han River Park at nine o'clock tonight to take some photos."
"President nim, what is this?"
"The content of the report does not need to be completely based on the celebrity romance you have disclosed before. Leave a little uncertainty. When the time comes, you can guide the connection between CJ and Zion Entertainment Entertainment Company in the report."
"Who is the heroine?"
"iu"
"Okay, President Nim, don't worry and leave it to me."
"Well, now that this has been done, I will express my gratitude in person."
After finishing the call with Park Hee-joon, Lee Sung-ho called IU again and asked her to dress up like she was in a secret relationship when they met in the evening.
IU is a little disgusted with Li Chenghao's arrangement. Aren't they going to make their relationship public? Why are they still pretending to be secretive? It's very strange. This chapter has been completed!
