Kwon Shiqing returned to her seat after putting on the A grade sticker and accepting the test. Gong?

Before she went to the waiting area, she looked at her sticker and gestured a few words in Japanese. Kwon Shiqing understood Kwon Shiqing's words.

After saying a few words of thanks, she met the eyes of the cameraman next to her. Kwon Shiqing maintained the same expression as before.

She had a friendly expression and smiled foolishly. "I don't understand."

After completing her big event, Kwon Shiqing began to seriously watch the performance of the other trainees. As each lead singer and dancer went on stage one by one, her attention became less and less focused.

Gong?

She was at the back of the line.

According to her standards, Gong?

Her singing and dancing could only be considered below average among all the trainees, but such a person was able to attract her remaining attention.

How to say, she had the flavor of a star.

No wonder she was a top member of AKB48. Her ability to capture the camera was much better than the others.

Sitting in Kwon Shiqing's seat, she could hear the discussion of the mentors. Most of the voices were focused on the B grade, but when it was time to announce, Shōyou said, "HKT48

TEAM

K, Gong??

D Ryo, A grade. "

"Wow," Kwon Shiqing exclaimed in a small voice.

"The grade evaluation ends here. Now, let's announce the grade situation so far: A grade 15, B grade 25, C grade 22, D grade 15, F grade 19.

All trainees will learn at their respective grades. Now, please announce the first topic that will be presented in front of the national producer.

That is, the performance of the theme song of PRODUCT 48. "

"Nekkoya (Is Mine)"

In the grade evaluation three days later, not only did they have to sing the Korean version, but they also had to sing the Japanese version.

Moreover, the MCD stage center of the theme song would only be produced from the A grade in the second evaluation.

After the level test, the trainees would all move into the training center and practice the theme song for three days starting from the next day.

The dormitory allocation in the training center was based on the initial rating. Coincidentally, Kwon Shiqing's roommates were Kwon Eunfei from Woollim, Choi Yena from Lehua, Li Jiaen from Pledis, Takeuchi from AKB, and Palace 84, who was beside him.

D Ryo.

"Eh?

There are rules for trainees! "

Choi Yena immediately noticed the Korean and Japanese bilingual paper pasted on the porch. She stood up and read, "Abide by the class schedule … Maintain tidiness … Don't make too much noise during bedtime … No unnecessary skinship?"

"Also, the use of mobile phones and other communication devices is prohibited."

Kwon Shiqing, who was tall and slender, stood in the back row and said, "What should I do? I want to see my Mimi every day."

"Mimi?

Your cat? "Quan Enfei, who was standing next to him, asked.

"… It's a golden retriever."

Kwon Shiqing was very distressed every time he introduced his dog to others. "My brother said that he wants the dog to have reverse charm."

"Ah, I see," Kwon Eunfei looked sympathetically at Kwon Shiqing, who had a subtle expression on his face. "You've worked hard."

"By the way, we have to go to the production center for recording later. Let's confirm the beds and the order of age first." Li Jiaen hurriedly organized the situation.

Kwon Shiqing passed the selection and entered THE.

BLACK

After entering LABEL, the female trainees around her were all born after 2000. She had always played the role of an elder sister and was the eldest daughter at home. Unexpectedly, in this dormitory, she became a busy wife with Choi Yena.

"From today onwards, you will learn the theme song. Japanese trainees may find it difficult to train under the Korean system for the first time, but please believe in our training and keep up with us."

Shōyou read the opening remarks on the script, and then began the first dance lesson under the guidance of Choi Yongjoon.

Nekkoya's choreography was not difficult, but it included a lot of hand movements, such as "collection." Therefore, many trainees, including Kwon Shiqing, could dance roughly after watching it once, but the details were not up to the teacher's standards at all.

Especially after teaching all of them once, the trainees of all levels were called to the front to have a solo dance.

"Are you really trainees from Class A?"

Choi Yongjoon asked seriously. "I thought that Class A would be the only one who could dance particularly well, but now it seems that Class C will be better."

During the vocal practice, Kwon Shiqing felt that the trainees of Class A had sung well, but the teachers still did not give a high evaluation.

The official practice lesson on the second day began in such an atmosphere.

The first thing the teacher Shōyou said after sitting down was, "Those who want to sing first, raise your hand."

The trainees who were not familiar with each other looked at each other.

"Trainees with confidence, are there no other trainees?"

Kwon Shiqing saw that no one had the intention to raise their hand, so when the teacher asked again, she timidly raised her hand.

But after she raised her hand, there was a voice that said, "I'll sing first."

"Ro Gaarn trainee, Kwon Shiqing trainee, right?

Then Ro Gaarn trainee will sing first. "

Because Ro Gaarn showed good singing ability during the level test, Kwon Shiqing was not confident that she could win the teacher's favor.

When Ro Gaarn was repeatedly asked by the teacher to sing according to the original tune, Kwon Shiqing was even more worried.

With such an opening, when it was her turn to sing, if she did not sing well, it might be edited to say that the trainees of Class A were not good enough. If she sang well, it was bound to be edited to show a contrasting effect.

So when Ro Gaarn returned to his original position and Kwon Shiqing stood up, her eyes were even more unfocused.

"Don't look at me!" Zhao You saw through her inner thoughts. "Just sing as much as you want."

"Inside."

Kwon Shiqing held the lyric sheet with one hand and tapped the beat on her thigh with the other.

When she first entered the company, the vocal teacher said that she was a talented contestant. Her voice was in line with the style of YG. Although there was no technique to speak of, it was not the wrong way to sing.

In just over a year of training, her singing style was getting closer and closer to YG's style, and the song in front of her was extremely sweet.

When she started singing, she could not help but sing sweetly to fit the song.

After singing one line, the teacher noticed her problem and stopped her from singing the second half of the line.

"I remember that Kwon Shiqing trainees didn't have this voice during the level test. Sing boldly, don't stick to the style of the demo for now."

With the teacher's encouragement, Kwon Shiqing began to sing again.

As she sang again, the teacher's expression became more and more clear.

After the first chorus, Shōyou indicated that she could stop.

The other trainees behind her also clapped their hands.

"When you sang with your original voice, it was very stable and full of energy, but there was a problem."

Shōyou expressed his opinion. "Although you sang well in the demo, it was not in line with the atmosphere of the song.

I'm not asking you to change your singing style, but I hope you can adapt to different styles of songs. "

"Kwon Shiqing trainee, why do you look relieved?" After commenting on her singing, Shōyou asked with interest.

"Sorry, teacher." Kwon Shiqing licked her lips. "Because the later part of Japanese is too difficult, I can't sing it yet.

I will study hard. "

"I know."

Shōyou smiled and wrote something on the paper in front of her, and then asked the A-level trainees to sing one by one in front of her.

"You're amazing."

Gong Gong praised in simple Japanese. "Teacher, I'm happy."

"Then you have to work hard."

Gong Gong Gong?

She was called over by the teacher.

Kwon Shiqing never expected that she would sing the Korean version.

And even after the teacher asked her, she still chose to sing in Korean.

Although the pronunciation was not standard and the singing was not good enough, it made people feel full of sincerity.

Compared to her previous statement that she could not sing the Japanese part, her attitude was like heaven and earth.

//

After a day of dance and vocal classes, the cameramen left one after another, and all the trainees began to practice independently.

After the quick introduction, Kwon Shiqing's need was not to find tunes and learn dance by watching videos, but to learn all the Japanese lyrics before the second level evaluation.

Quan Shiqing looked around at the trainees of Class A who were practicing together. Then, she locked her eyes on her roommate.

“?

D Ryo, Japanese?

"Part, teach me, okay?"

Private,??

Japanese?

(?

D Ryo, this part of Japanese, ask me, ok?

Let's practice?) "She nervously moved closer, afraid to delay others' practice time.

Gong Gong, who was worried because the group practice progress was too fast?

Her eyes lit up. "Practice alone?"

This suggestion was exactly what Kwon Shiqing, who was worried because of her poor Japanese. She immediately pulled Gong Gong away.

She went out to find a small practice room.

She did not expect that after walking around, the small practice rooms with cameras were all occupied by other groups of trainees, and the empty large practice rooms were occupied by group practice.

The two of them looked all over the training center, and finally decided to go to the hall on the first floor, which had a large mirror, without practice rooms and cameras.

"Is it okay if there is no camera?"

In a show like this, without a camera, it meant that there was no camera.

But Gong Gong?

She readily agreed to Kwon Shiqing's suggestion. After all, this was the only place where they could not hear the sound of others practicing, so they could focus on what they needed to do.

In order to show her sincerity, Kwon Shiqing offered to help Gong Gong?

She organized the dance moves, and during the break, they sat in the corner of the hall to learn each other's language.
