Chapter 37 Desperate Illiteracy Although BD Entertainment is a new company, Jin Shiming's requirements for trainees have always been comparable to those of large companies in the industry. Of course, BD Entertainment is not too demanding when it comes to the three major preferences: appearance, personality, and star quality. After the first round of preliminary interviews, most of the trainees in line were eliminated, and only more than ten people entered the next round of re-examinations. Shuang Enfei's appearance is quite outstanding, and she also has certain singing and dancing skills, so she advanced quite smoothly. "Unnie! That's great, we all passed the preliminary test!" "Good luck in the retest, we want to stay together!" When the two of them got together, they couldn't help but happily hug each other and turn around twice, cheering each other up. "All members who enter the re-examination, please come to me to get your number tags first. After that, I will lead you to the practice room for the re-examination. The examiner of the re-examination will be the president of our BD Entertainment himself." Jin Hengen, who was in charge of hosting the audition, said to everyone. When Ding Enfei heard this, she felt a little nervous, but also a little expectant.

I will be able to see Shiming oppa again soon. What will be his reaction when he sees me? With a nervous mood, Ding Enfei followed a group of trainees and received a number tag from Jin Hengen to stick on her clothes. Then, the group was taken to another dance studio with obviously better decoration and equipment. Not long after everyone found a corner to sit down, someone pushed the door open and walked in. "This is our BD Entertainment's president, Jin Shiming, and the chief examiner for this re-examination." Jin Hengen took the initiative to introduce. The trainees were amazed at the youth and handsomeness of the president and quickly stood up to greet him. Jin Shiming gestured to everyone to sit down, and said with a friendly smile on his face: "Everyone sit down, don't be so nervous. Relax, and show your proper level later, Huai Ting!" He glanced around and his sight finally stopped on Ding Enfei, whom he had met yesterday, and Huang Enfei beside her. Although Jin Shiming is not sure why the trainees from LOEN company would sign up for the audition of BD Entertainment, it is undeniable that these two are the most eye-catching among this batch of trainees. As if she had noticed Jin Shiming's gaze, Ding Enfei gave a lovely smile and waved her little hands gently twice in front of her chest. In a fair and just manner, Jin Shiming did not publicly respond to Ding Enfei's cute behavior. He came to the examiner's seat and sat down, picked up the information prepared by Jin Hengen, and called out the number directly: "No. 1 Cui Zhenyanxi!" The girl whose name was called came to the examiner's seat, briefly introduced herself, and then began her performance. "Ouni, do you think she can pass?" Huang Enfei lowered her voice and asked Ding Enfei in her ear. "She sings alright, and her dancing skills are pretty good too, so she should be able to pass, right?" Ding Enfei asked uncertainly. However, Jin Shiming's evaluation was unexpectedly harsh. "Choi Jin-yeon, your voice is sweet, but today you chose a song that doesn't quite match your voice, which exposed your shortcomings in singing. As for dancing, your sense of rhythm is quite good, but the strength and completion of your movements are still a little lacking." "I'm sorry that I can't give you a passing grade this time. Thank you for your trust and support for BD Entertainment. I look forward to your better performance in the future." Jin Shiming's evaluation is certainly strict, but he is definitely on point, and every issue he mentioned hits the nail on the head with incredible precision.

In addition, Jin Shiming also patiently provided methods for correction. If the eliminated trainees could take Jin Shiming's high-level advice to heart, they would at least be able to avoid taking detours in the future and their abilities would improve by leaps and bounds. Of the subsequent trainees, only one was lucky enough to pass, and the elimination rate was quite touching. As a result, trainees like Ding Enfei, whose numbers had not yet been called, began to feel uneasy. "Next one, Huang Enfeixi!" Jin Shiming pulled out the next trainee's resume and glanced at it. He almost failed to control his facial expression on the spot, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. At the top of the filled-in resume form is the name column. According to the custom on the peninsula, in addition to the required Hangul, there is also the optional item of Chinese characters. There is no way around it. Hangul is similar to pinyin, which leads to a large number of people on the peninsula having the same names and surnames, which is quite inconvenient. In order to distinguish themselves, especially for official occasions, the Peninsular people still have to have their Chinese names printed on their ID cards. However, the younger generation on the peninsula is deeply affected by de-Sinicization, and not many people can read and write Chinese characters, even their own names. Take these trainees for example, almost no one filled in their Chinese names. But what Huang Enfei wrote, well, if it were in the lower grades of a Chinese primary school, the student would be punished by the Chinese teacher to copy it. What made Jin Shiming most upset was that she wrote the word "妃" incorrectly, and wrote it as "女弓"! Alas, the idol industry is the same all over the world, most of them are hopelessly illiterate. If Jin Shiming had not taken time out to study during the years of his transformation into a producer, and had taken the shortcut of studying abroad to get a diploma from Seoul University, he would now be just a semi-illiterate high school graduate. "Anihasayo, Hwang Eun-bi Yimida! I was born in 1998 in Cheongju City, North Chungcheong Province!" Hwang Eun-bi saluted to the examiner's seat and introduced herself. "Are you ready? If there is no problem, start your performance!" Jin Shiming nodded slightly. "The song I prepared is BIGBANG senior's "Day by Day." Huang Enfei is a die-hard fan of BIGBANG, especially a loyal fan of GD. The accompaniment music sounded and Huang Enfei began her singing. To be honest, this song is not easy, especially the rap part. Jin Shiming originally thought that Huang Enfei would show strong rap skills. After all, her appearance and temperament gave people the feeling that she was very good at rap. But the actual situation is contrary to imagination, Huang Enfei's rap level can only be said to be average! However, her standing performance surprised Jin Shiming. With a little guidance, she would be more than qualified to be the deputy lead singer. If he is trained well, maybe he can be used as a lead singer. Soon, Huang Enfei finished singing the song. "I won't comment on your rap any further." When Huang Enfei heard the first sentence of Jin Shiming's comments, she immediately showed an embarrassed expression. She has a pretty good idea of ​​her own rap skills. As for why I chose this song, I can only say that it is a manifestation of my faith! "Your fulcrum is too shallow, and the way your throat exerts force is unscientific, resulting in average vocal quality. However, your vocal cords have a good ability to close, and you still have a certain ability to pronounce words continuously in the high-pitched range." Having said this, Jin Shiming stopped abruptly, frowning as if thinking about something. Huang Enfei was so anxious, you only said half of your words, are you qualified or not? But she couldn't urge him out loud, so she had to hold it in and try hard to maintain her expression.

After a few seconds, Jin Shiming raised his head, looked at Huang Enfei and asked, "I also want to see your dancing ability. Girls' Generation's "Meet Again". Is that okay?" (End of this chapter)
