Tips

C = 'C position', where C stands for Center (read out as English 'C'). The term comes from idol groups and idol-survival shows like 创造101 — the C member is the face of the group on photoshoots and choreography. Now extended widely: 新车C = the headline new car at an auto show, (kāwèi) = star power.
register
Casual / entertainment slang. Common phrases: 出道C (chūdào C wèi, debut center), C (qiǎng C wèi, fight for the center spot), C (zhàn C wèi, take center stage).
