Chapter 898 998. Progress
Selecting the core members of the new group?
The sudden news caught all the girls present off guard. Although some people had discussed whether this would happen before, after everyone laughed, they didn't think it would be so sudden.
But it happened so suddenly.
None of them were mentally prepared, including Liu Xiyun, Song Qian and others who had been adjusting their mood for a long time. Because of Nie Wei's words, their originally stable moods were instantly disturbed again.
But Nie Wei didn't give them too much time to think and directly announced the assessment.
"Don't choose me, don't choose me, please." Liu Xiyun clasped her hands together and prayed silently in her heart. The first person to be selected was destined to be the most unlucky.
After all, because of Nie Wei's sudden news, everyone's heart was disrupted. At this time, the first person to go up to perform must have the most unstable emotions, and the later they are in line, the more time they have to sort out their mood.
You should know that the performance is actually closely related to the psychological pressure. There are many people who practice well but mess up everything on the stage. The reason is that they can't bear the pressure in their hearts, which leads to psychological collapse on the stage, and they can't use half of their original abilities.
Nie Wei took the list, which he specially asked the person in charge beside him. There are a total of 17 names of Class A students on it. From top to bottom, they are ranked according to the monthly exam results of last month.
The first name on the list is Liu Xiyun.
When Nie Wei saw this name, he immediately found Liu Xiyun from a group of girls. This is a girl who left a good impression on him. She sings very well, but her dancing is a little weak. However, after reading this list today, Liu Xiyun's originally weak dancing link has actually been upgraded to A level.
It can be seen that she has indeed worked hard to make up for her shortcomings.
This is a point that Nie Wei appreciates very much. Knowing shame and then being brave, it is not terrible to have shortcomings. What is terrible is to know that there are shortcomings but turn a blind eye, then this person's progress will be very limited.
Liu Xiyun's heart beat up to her throat when Nie Wei looked at her. For a moment, she even felt that Nie Wei was going to call out her name, but fortunately Nie Wei only looked at her, and then lowered his head again, and Liu Xiyun's heart that was hanging in her throat could also be slightly relieved.
Nie Wei did not notice Liu Xiyun's nervous expression, and his attention was still focused on the list in his hand.
However, he did not look at it aimlessly, but focused on the girls who had left a deep impression on him before, such as the girl named Xiaochen.
Like Liu Xiyun, they have all made progress. Nie Wei still clearly remembers that when he came last time, this girl named Xiaochen only scored D in dance, but this time, her score has risen to B.
Although her dance score is not a big deal in Class A, this score is based on the overall evaluation of the trainees, and this B also means that her dance can be regarded as an upper-middle level among hundreds of trainees.
However, what surprised Nie Wei the most was the girl's singing skills. The vocal teacher actually gave her an S.
S stands for SUPER, which is a superb level. This S also means that Xiaochen has made great progress in singing skills. At least in this aspect, she has the ability to crush other trainees. This makes Nie Wei look forward to her performance.
Seeing that the two people he liked had made great progress, Nie Wei glanced at the list again, but suddenly found a familiar name in the list.
"Song Qian? It can't be..." Nie Wei looked around and soon found a girl with a low ponytail in the crowd. She looked at least seven times similar to the girl in his memory, but she was younger and not as fashionable as the celebrity girl in his memory.
"It seems to be her." Nie Wei smiled, pointed at Song Qian's name with the ballpoint pen in his hand, and then directly called her name: "Song Qian, you will perform first."
Song Qian was stunned. She didn't expect that she, who had only joined the company for three days, would be the first to perform. Although it was unexpected, Song Qian quickly stood up and walked to Nie Wei.
At this time, all the trainees have sat around the wall, leaving the venue for the girl who will perform soon.
"She has only joined the company for three days." After Nie Wei called Song Qian's name, the person in charge could not help but remind the boss in his ear.
Nie Wei ignored the person in charge, but directly asked Song Qian who was standing in front of him, pointing to the person in charge next to him: "He told me that you have only joined the company for three days, so I will give you a special exception. You can choose to give up this performance opportunity."
"Teacher, I have no problem." Song Qian waved her hands repeatedly to refuse.
Nie Wei's words seemed to give her the opportunity to give up, but Song Qian understood that what she gave up was not the opportunity to perform, but the opportunity to debut. Although she has only joined the company for three days, she has trained in Korea for three years. She is confident in her ability and of course does not want to miss this good opportunity that is right in front of her.
"Well, let's watch the dance first, and tell the teacher over there the music you want." Nie Wei ordered.
Song Qian hurried to the music teacher and told him the music for the dance she was going to perform. The music teacher immediately found the music and played a short clip for Song Qian. After confirming that it was correct, Song Qian hurried back to the center of the venue.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Song Qian, and many people had hostility in their eyes. After all, Song Qian was just an airborne soldier to these trainees who had practiced in the company for a long time. What's more, the strength of this airborne soldier was terrifying, and even threatened most of the people present.
It was like everyone planted a peach tree together, watering it, fertilizing it, and catching insects. After experiencing the scorching sun, wind and rain, it was about to bear fruit, and suddenly a strong man came to pick peaches. Everyone would feel uncomfortable.
The eyes around made Song Qian feel a little uncomfortable, but it did not affect her mentality. On the contrary, Nie Wei, who was standing not far in front of her, was more concerned about her.
But now was not the time for her to think about it. As the music sounded, her body subconsciously moved with the music.
She started learning dance at the age of ten, and it has been thirteen years this year. The gene of dance has long been engraved in her body and has become a habit.
The moment the music started, all her troubled thoughts disappeared, and the only thing left was the focus on dancing.
Nie Wei didn't know much about dancing, so he mainly consulted the teacher who taught dancing beside him, and combined the teacher's advice to score these trainees.
But Nie Wei didn't know how to dance, but it didn't mean he didn't know how to appreciate.
Song Qian's dance gave him a bright feeling. He felt that she was not only showing the skills of dancing, but also giving dance vitality. She danced with a graceful figure combined with music, giving people a visual enjoyment from the heart.
The music was less than three minutes and ended quickly. After finishing the dance, Song Qian was a little out of breath, but her eyes kept looking at Nie Wei, wanting to hear his evaluation of herself.
But what disappointed her was that Nie Wei only discussed with the dance teacher beside him for a while, and then wrote something on the list in his hand expressionlessly, thinking it should be the score.
"What about singing? Are you prepared?" After writing down the score, Nie Wei looked up and asked Song Qian.
"Yes, I want to sing "Meeting" written by you, teacher." Song Qian replied.
"Okay." Nie Wei nodded and signaled the music teacher to help with the accompaniment.
The sound of the electric piano sounded soon. Under the gaze of everyone, no one expected that Song Qian would make a mistake as soon as she opened her mouth. She did not find the rhythm of the song and sang a little faster.
Fortunately, she adjusted herself quickly and finally followed the accompaniment.
After listening to two sentences, Nie Wei lost interest. Not to mention that compared with Xiaochen, who was very talented, even compared with Liu Xiyun's singing skills, Song Qian was far behind. Nie Wei wrote a C on the list, but after thinking about it, he crossed it out and wrote a B again.
However, next to this 'B', in the dance column, Song Qian's score was a big 'S'.
Song Qian stopped singing for less than a minute when Nie Wei asked her if she had any other talents. Song Qian thought about it and decided to perform a folk dance that she was best at. The result was naturally deeply shocked the trainees present.
"Next, Liu Xiaoyuan."
"Next..."
Nie Wei did not announce the scores on the spot, but continued to call the next person's name. As the girls who were called came up to perform one by one, the blank pages of the roster in Nie Wei's hand were gradually filled with various scores.
What made Nie Wei very happy was that each of these trainees was good, and most of them had improved compared to the last time, and on the score sheet in Nie Wei's hand, no one's single score would fall below C.
"Xiaochen." When there were only four or five people left, Xiaochen was finally called.
"Original or...?" Seeing Xiaochen coming over with a big guitar, Nie Wei asked with a smile. He still remembered that during the last inspection, this girl named Xiaochen sang her own original song, which left a deep impression on him.
"Teacher, today I'm going to sing "Gone with the Wind." Xiaochen whispered.
Although originality is a plus, Xiaochen still wants to show Nie Wei her progress in recent days, so she deliberately chose a song that is a bit difficult.
"Okay." Nie Wei smiled and nodded. He hadn't listened to the song "Gone with the Wind" for a long time, which made him miss it.
"Don't say or ask. The moment our eyes met, we were destined to be together in this life. This love can show the true heart... Gone with the wind, the heart is at peace, and the brilliance is nothing more than a dream..."
It was still the same natural and lovely voice, but compared with a few months ago, it sounded clearer and brighter. Nie Wei easily judged with experience that this was not a change in the girl's vocal cords, but a change brought about by the improvement of skills.
The breath was more stable, the tremor in the singing was gone, and the voice was naturally clearer. What surprised Nie Wei was that the girl's emotional investment in singing was deeper.
If Xiaochen had sung this song "Gone with the Wind" a few months ago, Nie Wei would have laughed on the spot.
It was like a child secretly wearing his mother's dress. Although this child was also a little beauty and was cute in her mother's dress, the feeling of pretending to be mature could not be erased.
But now it’s different. The child is still very cute, but she has grown up and it doesn’t look inappropriate for her to wear her mother’s dress. Instead, she has a more charming look that is different from her mother’s.
After the song was finished, Nie Wei couldn't help but clap his hands to express his praise. Xiaochen's singing skills were no less than those of some professional singers. It seemed that the new group's lead singer no longer needed to consider others.
Seeing Nie Wei clapping his hands to encourage, everyone looked at Xiaochen with envy.
After all, this was the first time that Nie Wei had clearly expressed his praise since today's assessment.
In the subsequent dance assessment, Xiaochen's performance was not as amazing as when she sang. In Nie Wei's opinion, it could only be regarded as mediocre. She danced just for the sake of dancing. She remembered the movements very well, but when she danced, she felt like she was processed in batches on an assembly line, and she couldn't feel any characteristics at all.
Of course, compared with the previous ones, she did make obvious progress, and the dance teacher's score of B was reasonable.
Then several more students were assessed, and only Liu Xiyun was left.
Although Liu Xiyun was left at the end at this time, she was under great pressure. The last place and the first place were similar in nature, both of which were not very pleasing positions.
The reason why Nie Wei named Liu Xiyun at the end was because she was the first in the last monthly exam. Looking at the girl who walked in front of him, there was no obvious change compared to a few months ago. If there was any change, she was thinner and her figure looked more symmetrical.
"You were the first in the last monthly exam. I heard that you really want to be the captain of the new group?" Nie Wei asked.
"Yes." Liu Xiyun answered directly without hiding her thoughts.
No one at the scene showed a surprised look. After the news of the new girl group's preparation for formation came out, Liu Xiyun had expressed her desire to be the captain more than once in public, and she did rely on her own strength to prove that she was capable of taking on the heavy responsibility of this position by winning the first place in the monthly exams for several consecutive times.
Now everyone almost tacitly agreed that Liu Xiyun was the only choice for the captain.
"You have a good ambition, but being a captain is not just about talking. You must demonstrate your ability and sense of responsibility in this position. Do you understand?"
Liu Xiyun was startled. She didn't expect Nie Wei to suddenly say such a thing to her. But after quickly coming to her senses, she immediately replied subconsciously: "I understand."
