Looking at the screen, Mu Qian casually said, "Old A's song arrangement is even more impressive than last week's, but it requires a lot of breath control when singing and dancing."

He paused for a moment.

"Black Rose is really cool under the choreography of Zhenwu!"

"That's it?" Qu Xiaofei waited for a while, and when she saw that Mu Qian had finished her comments but there was no result, she was stunned.

Mu Qian made a little face at her, which was incredibly cute.

"Qianqian..." Qu Xiaofei pouted and acted coquettishly, "Tell me quickly, which group do you think has a better chance of winning?"

Zhang Ziyue lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.

She felt that if she continued to stay in this group, her aloof persona would crumble.

"Qianqian gave the answer!" Leting smiled as well.

"Huh?" Qu Xiaofei was a little confused.

"Judging from the rehearsals, both groups were somewhat lacking in performance, but this is just behind-the-scenes footage. We can't edit the final result, otherwise we'd lose the anticipation for the stage..." Wu Xuan, a singer-dancer, explained to Qu Xiaofei with a smile, "Qianqian's meaning is quite clear: Lao A's arrangement is better, but it depends on the performance on stage."

Qu Xiaofei pondered for a moment, then said, "Oh... I understand!"

Each group was watching the behind-the-scenes footage and discussing it.

But in that moment when the behind-the-scenes footage was frozen, everyone seemed to reach a consensus, stopped discussing, and reverted to the best and most appropriate state in case the live broadcast camera panned across them.

Of course, this does not include Mu Qian.

Mu Qian always had a somewhat lazy demeanor, which didn't make her seem arrogant, but gave people a sense of casualness that made her seem unapproachable.

It's a strange feeling, but it also has an inexplicable allure.

"Now, let's ask the two group leaders to choose the order of their actions."

As Wang Zemu spoke, the image on the large screen and in front of the live broadcast camera split into two.

They were facing the rooms of Yi Man's group and Lu Xixi's group, respectively.

"Both team leaders have a red and a blue card. If they are the same color, Yi Man's team goes first; if they are different colors, Lu Xixi's team goes first..."

"After 1, 2, 3, both sides simultaneously raise their colored cards!"

"1..."

“2…”

"3!"

Yi Man and Lu Xixi both raised their color cards.

"It's all red. It seems everyone wants a good omen for the opening stage..." Wang Zemu joked with a smile.

"Yi Man's group's song is another song arranged by Lao A. As you all saw in the behind-the-scenes footage, it's a song with a lot of vocal transitions. Combined with the dance, it requires a high level of breath control."

"Next, please welcome Yi Man's group to bring us the stage... 'Drunken Beauty'"

Amidst applause, the lights dimmed.

When the lights came on again, on the stage covered in dry ice, Yi Man's group, dressed in modified embroidered short, form-fitting cheongsams and holding sandalwood fans, changed formations to the music, and Yi Man was the first to speak...

Bullet comments:

Old A's arrangements never disappoint.

[Wow, what's the original song again?]

[OMG, the rearranged version of "Drunken Beauty" is so damn good...]

The original singer must be crying in the bathroom.

[Ahhh, Manman is so amazing! She can sing, dance, and act well too!]

[Was that a cracked voice?!]

[His voice cracked!]

【Well……】

[I'm dying of laughter! Who was bragging about being able to sing and dance? It's absolutely hilarious... hahaha...]

For a moment, Yi Man's fans fell silent in the live chat.

Even those who don't understand music could hear that Yi Man's voice cracked during the high note transition!

[Hilarious! Why take on a job you're not qualified for?]

[Old A must have been furious to hear his own song being sung off-key, he must have been spitting blood by now, right?]

Has Yi Man done far less of these overconfident things?

[She's just challenging herself... After all, she's thirty years old, and she's still playing a teenage girl. She's trying to convince herself she has a youthful image, so what's a little off-key voice? Hahaha]

[Sigh, it's okay. Even if Yi Man's biggest fan loses a bet, they can pretend they don't exist. It's just a slight off-key note. Just make sure she's an actress, not a singer. I feel sorry for Lu Xixi. She'll be accused of using her professional skills to crush her opponent unfairly.]

What did you say?

Isn't that right?

[Whose big fan lost a bet, feigned illness, and then went on to whitewash it?]

[...]

Amidst a heated argument, Yi Man's performance came to an end.

Next up was Lu Xixi's group.

Since it was a competition between groups, the judges' comments and such only started after both groups had finished performing.

Lu Xixi's group drew "Black Rose," the song most likely to stand out among the six.

The dance is choreographed by Zhenwu, one of the top dance troupes in China.

With Lu Xixi included, their group had three singers who could sing and dance, and the overall performance of the song was extremely well-executed.

It's safe to say that the score in these two groups is a foregone conclusion; the only question is the support value.

As for who wins and who loses in terms of popularity between Yi Man and Lu Xixi, it's really hard to say.

"Next, please welcome the Yiman team back to the stage..."

Yi Man took a few deep breaths to calm his agitated emotions, put on a smile, and led his team onto the stage.

"Both groups' performances showed us everyone's passion for the stage..."

"Both sets of performances were fantastic!"

"Next, please let the judges comment on the performances of both groups..."

Ai Chen: "I have sung both of these songs before. Your arrangement and choreography gave me a different sense of novelty in both groups... It was a rare enjoyment both aurally and visually."

"but……"

The "however" that follows praise is the most heartbreaking.
