The five girls officially debuted as a group on this summer night, the group name is Shining Five.
The half-year draft live broadcast has come to an end. This so-called "National Draft" has its final results tonight. The Shining group, which was voted by the audience, finally left this training camp full of sweat and tears. The company has already arranged dormitory.
When Zhao Yu dragged his luggage into the car, he felt that every step he took was floating.
The excitement at the scene just now has subsided, and now walking outside the silent camp, there is only the sound of the wheels of the suitcase sliding across the ground, as if suddenly falling into the world from the clouds, and there is a strong sense of unreality.
This is... debut
From entering Muyi in his freshman year to making his debut in a group, two years seems like a flick of a finger. She clamored to become a trainee as if it was not long ago.
She looked down at the pink crown she held in her arms.
Really, I did it.
Has she already walked half of the 10,000 steps close to him
The hot phone vibrated again. Since she got the phone after the game, she has answered no less than 20 calls. She just finished a half-hour video call with her family, and the phone is still hot.
Zhao Yu took out his mobile phone while walking, and when he saw the name on the message board, he stopped suddenly.
——Shen Juanyi: Congratulations on your debut! / baring teeth
he knows!
He saw it!
My heart beats extra violently in the hot night.
Is he paying attention to himself
No, this draft has always been popular in China, and he may have just seen the news by accident. Will he feel that he is very strange, imitating him and making his debut as a star? He won't... Guess his purpose, right? !
The brain is like a machine with a wrong program, and countless absurd thoughts flashed through it all at once.
In the end, she just took a deep breath and replied two words: Thank you.
The message showed that the sending was successful, and Zhao Yu stood there staring at the dialog box and sent it in a daze for a while. He didn't reply to the message again, and she was a little disappointed, but at the same time felt that it should be like this.
Not far away came the voices of Lin Zhinan and Christine chatting and laughing, and they waved at her: "Yuyu, our luggage is packed, why are you so slow."
She put away her cell phone, and also put away her sorrow, and dragged the box towards them.
The five people gathered together, and the car drove away from the camp, with constant laughter in the car.
In the Shining Five group, Zhao Yu naturally has the best relationship with Lin Zhinan and Christine. Heya, who is ranked fourth, has a cold personality in private and doesn't like to talk much. The second runner-up, Lin Xiuxi, is very active and has a very outgoing personality.
Zhao Yu had heard people say before that Lin Xiuxi seemed to be the daughter of a consortium. The family was very rich and the consortium had a very high status in Korea. She grew up in this kind of family. The temperament of the lady.
Zhao Yu didn't have much contact with these two people, but judging from their previous performance in the training camp, they shouldn't be difficult people to get along with.
However, although Christine is in the same company as Lin Xiuxi, the relationship between the two does not seem to be too close. Christine prefers to stick to Zhao Yu.
The dormitory arranged by the company is in a mid-range community, with two floors above and below, with bedrooms on the top and public areas on the bottom.
The house is not high-end, but at least everyone has a separate space, and it is very clean and complete with daily necessities. Zhao Yu had heard from Christine that the seniors in the company lived in crowded bunk beds, and she was very satisfied in comparison.
The company has allocated rooms, and after the tense night of the finals, everyone was very tired, they didn't clean up after the salute, and went to bed after washing up.
Zhao Yu hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past six months in the training camp. He thought he could finally have a good sleep this time, but he was woken up by the assistant sent by the company at eight o'clock the next morning.
After washing up, the five went downstairs for a meeting.
Brokers, assistants, and representatives of various companies have all arrived at the scene to formally sign the limited group contract.
The show Shining Stars is a joint venture between China and South Korea, but the Chinese side only takes a small part, and the Korean side still has the big part. Although Zhao Yu is a trainee of Mu Yi, but now that he is debuting in a group, he still needs to sign a three-year limited contract with the Korean side.
Although their group has made their debut, the future popularity of Shining Five is still unknown in Korean entertainment where girl groups are everywhere. If they reach their peak after three years, the contract will be renewed. If the popularity is flat after three years, it will be disbanded according to the original plan.
Because they just debuted, the company only arranged one agent and two assistants for them. After signing the contract, the assistant handed over the registered overseas social accounts to five people respectively.
After Zhao Yu logged in, he saw that his personal stage of the group night had been published on his account, with millions of views.
There are tens of thousands of comments and likes under the video. She clicked on the comments and saw countless enthusiastic confession comments in Chinese, Korean and English. It was the first time that she faced so many people's frank liking, and she felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
Lin Zhinan looked at it for a while, then raised his head and said to her in disbelief, "I have more than two million fans."
She raised her hand abruptly and patted her forehead.
Zhao Yu: "...what are you doing?"
Lin Zhinan: "See if I'm dreaming." She looked at her phone, then at Zhao Yu, "Is this really real? Am I really dreaming?"
Zhao Yu stuffed the phone back into his pocket, held her shoulder and shook it hard twice.
Lin Zhinan's mind almost went crazy.
Zhao Yu yelled super loudly into her ear: "You wake me up!!!"
Lin Zhinan: "Hey, I'm not dreaming, it's real QAQ"
Lin Xiuxi replied to a few messages casually, raised her head and smiled and said to Heya, "They are speaking Chinese again." She suddenly turned her head and asked Christine, who was sitting aside and looking at her mobile phone: "Zhang Huiying, can you understand what they are saying? ?”
Christine froze for a moment and didn't speak for a long time.
Zhao Yu was taught one-on-one in the training camp for half a year. With the addition of the language environment, his Korean proficiency has improved a lot, and he is already fluent in daily communication.
She heard what Lin Xiuxi said just now, she turned around and explained: "Nan Nan and I were talking about the number of followers on Instagram." Then asked: "Who were you calling just now?"
Lin Xiuxi played with her mobile phone and smiled: "Kristen, don't you know her real name is Zhang Huiying?"
Zhao Yu glanced at the silent Christine, and smiled slightly: "Tingting, you have two names, they are both so cute. Tingting, Yingying, these two words sound similar in Chinese. Woolen cloth!"
Ting Ting is her nickname for Kristen, because it is often called that in the training camp, and the audience remembers it. Many fans also call her that.
Christine looked at her with a grateful smile in her eyes.
Taking advantage of their inability to understand Chinese, Lin Zhinan said to Zhao Yu with a smile on his face: "She did it on purpose, right? Ting Ting even took a stage name and even used her real name to make fun of her."
Zhao Yu also smiled: "Shut up."
Lin Xiuxi feigned anger and said: "Hey, you two, you are not allowed to communicate in Chinese anymore. We have to make a rule that whoever communicates in Chinese secretly will clean the dormitory for a week!"
Everyone laughed and laughed a few words, and put this paragraph to the past.
After the agent checked the contract, he drove the five people to the company headquarters to have a meeting with the top executives of the artists.
The meeting continued into the afternoon.
It is mainly to improve their respective personalities, and to tell them the next packaging plan and itinerary.
According to the performance of the five members in the training camp in the past six months, Zhao Yu is the main dancer and face of the team, Lin Xiuxi is the captain, Heya is the main rap, Lin Zhinan is the main vocal, and the youngest and soft-spoken Christine is the team leader. The group pet little princess in the family.
Christine's family background is not good, in fact she is not the little princess in the eyes of the audience. But her appearance fits the bill, and if the company wants to package her in this way, she can only do so.
Fortunately, Zhao Yu's personality is already very pleasing, and the company doesn't ask too much of her.
They made their debut through the talent show and now have a certain popularity, but they only belong to the category of small fires, and there is still a long way to go to reach the level of the national girl group.
The first single belonging to Shining Five has already been produced, and together with the four original tracks they performed in the final stage of the training camp, the company will release Shining Five's first EP in a month.
So the next step is rehearsal.
One month is very short, but it is more than enough to rehearse a new song with the strength of these five people. So in addition to rehearsals, they also have to make some announcements.
After all, it is the time when the popularity of the debut is hot, and a certain degree of exposure is needed.
Before Zhao Yu fully accepted the fact of his debut, he threw himself into the busy artist schedule without stopping.
At present, their schedules are all on Hanyu's side. The company doesn't seem to be in such a hurry to open up the Chinese market, and the social accounts registered for them are all overseas.
Of course, it was impossible for Zhao Yu and Lin Zhinan to ignore their domestic fans.
After the two applied to the company, they opened a Weibo authentication account in China and published their first Weibo after their debut:
――Shining Five-Zhao Yu: Here I come.
――Shining Five-Lin Zhinan: Here I come.
As soon as Weibo was launched, fans eagerly waiting to feed quickly occupied the comments.
——Baby, baby, welcome to Weibo!
——Finally no need to go over the wall to see the female goose, the old mother burst into tears
——The female goose should check Weibo frequently and post more selfies!
——Baby, post your personal stage on INS here, and we will make it popular for you so that everyone can see the beautiful stage of the fairy in the world!
…
Almost all INS is in Korean and English, and there may be only five Chinese comments out of a hundred. It takes half a day to read a comment every time.
Now looking at the familiar mother tongue under Weibo, let alone how relaxed it is. The two sat together, chatting while replying to fans.
Lin Zhinan said: "I followed Mengmeng and the others, did you follow?"
Zhao Yu said: "Not yet, you find out all the people first, and I will go directly to your watch list in a while."
Lin Zhinan: "... why don't you just be lazy to death."
Mengmeng is one of their companions in Muyi, and they are still just trainees. The two of them had been busy for a long time, and Lin Zhinan suddenly burst out laughing: "Feng You actually paid attention to me! Oh my goodness, do I want to go back to the customs?"
She held her chin and said deeply: "It's true that she loved to ignore me back then, but she can't afford to be too high for me now."
Zhao Yu ignored her and was still happily interacting with his poppies.
Lin Zhinan suddenly said, "Do you want to pay attention to Shen Juanyi?"
Zhao Yu shook his hand, "No, no, no!"
Lin Zhinan became more and more enthusiastic: "Hey, you have debuted now! You are also a big star! You are also the idol of many people now! Do you think that if you tell him that you are his fan now, will he be scared?" Dance hahahaha. I don’t know when we will have domestic activities, maybe we will meet him again!”
She pushed Zhao Yu's arm: "Hey, don't be cowardly when the time comes, you must go to take a photo together, you know? Tell him how much you like him, when you are training, you secretly look at his photos under the covers Keep it up!"
Seeing Zhao Yu staring over, he immediately added: "Don't deny it! I've seen it all!"
Zhao Yu turned his head and shouted: "Xiuxi! Heya! Nannan is speaking Chinese behind your backs again!"
Lin Xiuxi's voice came from the room: "Great, the hygiene of the dormitory has been taken care of this week."
Lin Zhinan: "...?"
