Tips

usage

Phrase = 海选 (open audition) + 中 (in the midst of). 海选 itself rose to fame around 2005 with Super Girl (《超级女声》); literally 'sea selection' — the candidate pool is as wide as the sea. As a segmenter token 海选中 is technically 海选 + locative 中, not a single word, but it appears frequently as a fixed phrase meaning 'in the audition phase'.
