Getting eliminated from the open auditions is no big deal; it's just a few days spent joining in on the excitement. But once selected, there's the potential to become a star. Faced with such a temptation, even if school starts, taking a leave to record a show is something most people would probably be willing to do, right? But if this vacation period is missed and they wait until school starts, on one hand, they would have to take several days off, possibly facing academic pressure and also pressure from the teachers. In the end, they'd have to compete with tens of thousands of people for the few available spots. Even if they really have the talent, a lack of confidence or various other reasons might lead a large number of people to give up on this opportunity, right? In this way, a lot of potential contestants might inadvertently be missed.
So, just as Wei Liangxiao said, it's highly likely that the best opportunity really is during the summer break.
