Becoming a Global Superstar Starting as an Idol Trainee

Chapter 2: While the interview is in progress

Before Chen Minhao does something, writing a decision-making plan is a habit he has adhered to for many years.

He took out his notebook and picked up a pen and began to sort out the current effective information, writing with a black ink pen:

"There is a talent show competition on the Kiwi platform - "Artist Trainee", and the company is planning to send three people to participate as a boy band."

I turned a page and wrote down my thinking process.

"First of all, this is a great opportunity to debut. What can make you debut as a trainee and become a star is always the tip of the iceberg that emerges from the sea.

Secondly, whether an artist is popular or not depends largely not only on the artist's strength, but more importantly on the resources behind him.

Kang Hui is currently Shenmeng's number one agent and the head of Shenmeng's agency department, reporting directly to the CEO. At present, she directly leads only one star, Shenmeng's first sister Wan Anqi. Wan Anqi is one of the four little flowers in China. Moreover, Kang Hui originally came from Longkong, a top brokerage company. He has a wide network of contacts in the industry and a lot of resources at his disposal. Even if he still has the opportunity to debut in the future, the quantity and quality of resources should be difficult to compare with the resources in Kang Hui's hands.

Finally, the Kiwi platform is one of the top three video platforms in China and has produced many popular variety shows. The program "Artist Trainers" will have 100 trainees, who will undergo closed training and recording for four months. In the end, 9 winners will be selected by popular vote to form a new idol boy group to debut. For trainees, this is an excellent opportunity to debut. "

He changed to a red pen and wrote down his first small goal after traveling:

"Join a three-person group and participate in the "Artist Trainee" on the Kiwi platform."

After setting a goal, Chen Minhao began to analyze the results of past courses. After all, this is one of the important criteria for the selection of the three-person team.

She has outstanding vocal performance and is capable of alto, alto and treble, and can serve as a vocalist in a team.

His dance performance is average, and there is a big gap between him and other trainees who have been learning dance since childhood. But as a member of the group, he won't hold back.

His acting skills are poor, and he is basically a negative example for teachers in class. "

Chen Minhao passed five tests and won six generals to be admitted to the Law Department of Teito University, and worked hard to become an outstanding graduate. He was ashamed to rely on his reputation to make a living.

But when he thought of his face in the mirror, he finally wrote a few words happily:

"Perfect appearance."

Then he turned a page and Chen Minhao wrote a few big words——

"How to join the trio?"

Although the talent show that selects artist trainees should pay more attention to vocal music and dance, Chen Minhao knows that the original host's performance does not form a crushing advantage over other trainees, and can only be regarded as above average.

And even if there is the memory of the original owner, it does not mean that Chen Minhao can do what the original owner can do after time travel.

Chen Minhao thought for a while and wrote two more characters -

"interview"

After he finished writing, he remembered that his classmates in his previous life jokingly called him "face tyrant".

You must know that interviews are only a means of evaluating a person. Even the most skilled interviewer cannot make a very comprehensive judgment on a person in just one hour. Strength is only one factor that determines the success or failure of an interview.

Interview skills are very important. He must pass the interview to convince Kang Hui that he is one of the three most suitable people to participate in this show.

"No matter what, I have to work hard to join the trio." Chen Minhao thought while clenching his fists, "I have many classic songs in my mind that have never appeared in this world, but the success of the song depends not only on the song itself, but also on the song itself. Otherwise, there would be no phenomenon where the original songs are not popular but the cover songs are.

Therefore, you must work hard to obtain good resources now so that you will have more choices in the future. "

Chen Minhao picked up the pen again and wrote two words - "original", and then added two big double quotation marks next to original.

Chen Minhao was woken up by the sound of text messages on his cell phone.

"Chen Minhao, your interview is at three o'clock this afternoon in Mr. Kang's office. Please attend on time. In addition, all trainees participating in the interview will not be scheduled for any training this week. Please reply when you receive it."

The sender was an unmarked phone number, and Chen Minhao guessed it was Kang Hui's assistant.

He immediately stood up and replied: "Copy that, I will attend on time."

He was originally worried that if he took the training, he would not be able to keep up with the teacher's progress and his secret would be exposed. Fortunately there is no training scheduled this week.

However, the interview was scheduled for this afternoon. Although I didn't ask which one it was, judging by the time, I should be arranged in the middle.

He guessed that the order of interviews might be arranged according to the usual training scores. Thinking that after the three of them formed a group, the course teacher might rearrange the course, giving him a chance to start over and reducing the possibility of showing his flaws, which made his desire to join the three-person group even greater.

As an interviewer, he knows that first impression is very important during the interview process, and appropriate clothing is indispensable.

Appropriateness means dressing appropriately for the time, occasion, place and style. Chen Minhao opened the closet and found that there were very few clothes.

He was planning to go shopping. Thinking of his bank card balance and tight time, he decided to wear the famous jersey: white shirt and jeans.

This is the so-called "it will be cool when the salary is exhausted". Even after my salary was spent, I no longer had any random thoughts in my mind, and my mind was as calm as water.

Before the interview, the candidate must figure out what type of person the interviewer wants, and then perform it in a targeted manner during the interview.

After Chen Minhao prepared a few questions that might be asked and the time traveler's trump card, he got up and went to the company, hoping to get some information from the trainees interviewed earlier.

Kang Hui's office is on the twelfth floor. There are only four brokers' offices on this floor. The other three managers all followed their artists to make announcements.

At 12:30 noon, Chen Minhao was waiting in the empty corridor of the company.

At half past one, the door to Mr. Kang's office opened. Takashima came out, his expression a little excited and a little nervous. It was obvious that he had come out, but his heart had not yet recovered from the interview just now.

Takashima is 18 years old this year. Four years ago, he participated in a child star talent show and was discovered by the company. He was recruited into the company as a trainee. He has not yet made his debut.

Chen Minhao asked him with a sunny smile: "Have you eaten?".

He didn't take the initiative to ask how the interview went and what the questions were, because he knew the temperament of the young man in front of him. After taking an exam or doing something big, he couldn't help but want to share and talk to relieve the pressure in his heart.

"Mr. Kang said, come in early." A young girl who had not appeared in his memory came out and said just as Chen Minhao's wishful thinking was about to begin.

The girl is in her early twenties, wearing a light blue dress with beautiful lace on the cuffs, neckline, chest and other places, which makes her face even more beautiful.

Chen Minhao grinned, thinking that the plan had failed. However, he still quickened his pace and followed in, and said with a smile he had practiced in front of the mirror: "Hello, Mr. Kang."

He knows very well that the interview is not a 100-meter race, and there is no one calling start.

Kang Hui looked to be in his early thirties, and Chen Minhao was not sure of his exact age.

"Sit down here and wait a moment." After saying that, Kang Hui walked out, leaving Chen Minhao and the girl staring at each other.

They didn’t say anything about pouring water or anything. The service awareness is worrying.

Chen Minhao smiled slightly and waited where he was without sitting on the sofa or chair.

Suddenly, the girl secretly slapped her forehead and said, "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Wu Xiaoshuang, and I am Mr. Kang's assistant. Just call me Xiaoshuang. Nice to meet you."

"Hello, Xiaoshuang. Nice to meet you too." Chen Minhao replied politely.

The two were silent again.

"Has anyone ever said that? You are very good-looking." Wu Xiaoshuang had just finished speaking, cursing herself inwardly that she shouldn't have said such a strange thing even if she had nothing to say.

"Not only am I good-looking, but I'm also gentle, cute, considerate, smart, humorous, sunny, and able to walk in the kitchen or the living room. You actually only say that I'm good-looking?!"

Wu Xiaoshuang was amused by the young man in front of her, and felt that the relationship between the two had improved a lot.

After two or three minutes, Kang Hui pushed the door open and came in and said, "Sit down."

"Isn't there an interview appointment at three o'clock? Why are you here so early?" Kang Hui's voice was a little cold.

Chen Minhao said frankly: "On the one hand, I am worried that I will be late. On the other hand, I hope to get some information from the trainees who interviewed earlier."

Kang Hui turned his head slightly and looked Chen Minhao up and down: "It seems you are not too stupid."

Chen Minhao pretended to smile awkwardly and scratched his head "innocently". But he knew that he made the right move.

In a talent show "Artist Producer" that lasts about 2 hours each episode, if you want to stand out from 100 trainees to form a group of 9 people, you must dare to compete to have a chance to become the last 9 people alive.

Therefore, what the company wants must be people who dare to compete, not trainees who will live a quiet life without fighting.

Kang Hui raised his head and looked at it: "What do you think is your advantage over other trainees?"

Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to ask this as soon as he came up.

Talk about vocal music? It's a pity that his vocals are not the best among all the trainees. As for dancing, he can only be considered inferior among the trainees.

Kang Hui changed his posture, crossed his arms and moved forward, more offensively.

After Chen Minhao thought for a moment, he said: "Learning ability, my learning ability is my advantage. Compared with other trainees, I have not been trained in vocal music and dance since I was a child. I only started learning after joining the company. . In two years of study, I have caught up with or even surpassed some trainees who have studied since childhood. This shows that my learning ability is better than other trainees."

Kang Hui nodded slightly to continue.

"The program "Artist Trainee" is to show trainees working hard for their dreams. My vocal performance is good, and my dancing skills will not be a hindrance in a team. Although my overall vocal and dance skills are definitely not the best , but there is a relatively large room for improvement. My learning ability can ensure that I continue to improve in this program and give the audience a good feeling."

"Very good, it's good to have this understanding." Kang stood up and moved his neck to relieve the sore cervical vertebrae.
