"Hello everyone, we are Candy is So Sweet!"

The four began by introducing themselves.

"I'm Zhang Ning, a sweet and adorable little candy. Let me win your heart!"

"I am Lu Ziye, a cheerful and sunny young man. Please accept my bright smile!"

"I'm Liu Hao, as sweet and adorable as a gummy candy, let my soft and tender touch your heart..."

"I'm Qian Duoduo, a talented singer and musician who excels at playing various instruments. I hope you all like me!"

The four of them finished being cute.

The room fell silent.

The contestants in the waiting area were all in a state of shock.

Mentors Ning Jing and Deng Xiaochao stared at them, utterly bewildered.

Each audience member received an extra set of villa-style townhouses carved from their toes.

Everyone seemed to hear a flock of crows flying by in the air.

Awkward...awkward...awkward...

Some viewers have already started complaining in the live chat.

Help! This is so awkward!

[Brother Chao almost went crazy!]

What are they doing? Why are these perfectly normal kids acting so crazy?!

Teacher He Ling quickly came to the rescue.

"Shall we watch their performance next?"

Deng Xiaochao was shocked: "We still have to perform?"

Netizens were in stitches.

[Brother Chao probably wants to leave now!]

[Chao Ge's inner monologue: Can't something this outrageous just be eliminated outright? Why go through all the procedures?]

Fortunately, Lin Xing, the master of witty remarks, saved the day.

"Does Teacher Xiao Chao want to let them advance directly?"

Deng Xiaochao doesn't usually surf the internet much, so he doesn't have as many jokes as Lin Xing. His lips twitched, and he said it against his will.

"Um...um...let's just follow the competition rules!"

Everyone reluctantly watched Candy is Sweet's performance.

The various attempts at cuteness were so outrageous and ridiculous that they left everyone speechless.

That's not all; several of them sang off-key, and the lead singer even cracked his voice.

Their business capabilities are truly worrying.

During the voting process, only Lu Ziye, whose performance was fairly average, received 52 votes from the contestants and 3 votes from the mentors (totaling 30 votes), for a total of 82 votes.

The live vote count is 150 (including the contestant's own vote). Those with 120 or more votes will enter Class A. The cutoff scores for Classes B, C, and D are 100, 80, and 60 votes, respectively.

Lu Ziye was admitted to Class C.

Several more outrageous contestants passed by.

The audience kept complaining.

[This singer/dancer is terrible at both singing and dancing, and not good-looking either. I don't know what they're looking at.]

[Is this show meant to tell everyone, "Is the Chinese entertainment industry finished?"]

[Let's go, there's nothing to see here!]

In the control room, Sister Zhang was also very nervous as she watched the comments on the screen.

She was kicked out of the program by Penguin halfway through and temporarily joined the Polar Bear platform.

With limited time and a competition format that selects 100 people, the quantity was guaranteed, but the quality of the trainees could not be guaranteed at all!

The production team brought in many newcomers from various companies to fill the quota.

Now, Sister Zhang can only place her hopes on Su Can.

There are two more promising talents in the show, and only five people are needed to form a group.

As long as Su Can increases his popularity and netizens pay attention to the show, the other two can also be promoted.

Su Can has no intention of joining the group.

Sister Zhang will communicate with him further about this matter later. The key in the early stages is to build up popularity.

Su Can is also a very loyal person, and Sister Zhang trusts him.

It was Yu Xiaonuo's turn to go on stage.

As a substitute for Xiguang Youth, there is also Su Can's friend and a new artist from Brilliant Entertainment.

Yu Xiaonuo has garnered a certain amount of attention.

In this match, Yu Xiaonuo followed Su Can's advice and kept her skill level at a passing grade.

Although Yu Xiaonuo didn't understand why Su Can wanted him to do this.

But Yu Xiaonuo will do whatever Su Can says!

His path to stardom, his hopes, were originally given to him by Su Can.

Yu Xiaonuo chose Su Can's "Sorrow".

"One cup to my hometown, one cup to the distant land."

"Holding onto my kindness urges me to grow."

To everyone's surprise, this contestant had a clear voice and a pure, youthful quality.

His interpretation of "Sorrow" is completely different from Su Can's.

Su Can's songs captured the heaviness of life and the confusion of young people.

Yu Xiaonuo's singing was much gentler; the faint melancholy seemed to dissipate slowly in the wind after eight cups of sake.

When Yu Xiaonuo finished singing, applause rang out from the audience.

This was the first time there had been such enthusiastic applause after all twenty contestants had performed.

Yu Xiaonuo received votes from Ning Jing, Deng Xiaochao, and Lin Xing, while the other two judges did not give her any votes.

The reason is that we hope he will forge his own path and we don't want him to copy Su Can.

Yu Xiaonuo bowed in thanks to the judges.

I don't know if it was because of Su Can's influence, or if Yu Xiaonuo's performance truly won everyone over.

There were 89 contestants present who supported Yu Xiaonuo.

He received a total of 119 votes.

I was just one vote away from getting into Class A.

Host He Ling asked, "Xiao Nuo, you have one vote left. Do you want to vote for yourself?"

Yu Xiaonuo shook her head.

He Ling: "Why?"

All the other contestants voted for him, and no one in the audience objected to his vote.

Yu Xiaonuo smiled shyly, "The fact that my votes didn't reach the A-class threshold means I'm not qualified yet. I hope to gain everyone's recognition through my own abilities."

He Ling kindly reminded you: "Actually, all 119 votes received at the scene were in support of you, so you don't need to worry about it too much!"

Yu Xiaonuo shook her head again, "Maybe it doesn't matter to others, but for me, it means I haven't done well enough."

He Ling stopped trying to persuade him.

"Alright, let's give Xiaonuo a round of applause, and hope he can bring us an even more amazing performance!"

Yu Xiaonuo entered the area of ​​Class B.

Su Can had told him early on that it was best to stay in Class B or Class C, and not to go to Class A.

Yu Xiaonuo did as Su Can instructed.

Thirty more contestants have passed.

Su Can was scheduled to appear two-thirds of the way through the program.

This was also to keep the audience engaged, in case Su Can appeared too early and the audience left.

Sister Zhang was watching from the control room.

Su Can's performance was not rehearsed!

He was unwilling to participate in the rehearsal.

He even brought his own band and lighting technician.

Su Can said he would definitely create a highlight for the show.

Sister Zhang had no choice but to believe him.

Having seen too many mediocre performances, the audience has increasingly high expectations for Su Can's performance.

Sister Zhang understood that if Su Can didn't explode in this round, his reputation and popularity, as well as the show's popularity, would decline significantly.

But now audience expectations are too high, and performances can easily fall apart!

Sister Zhang prayed silently, "Su Can, you have to keep going!"

At this moment, He Ling called out Su Can's name.

The program begins.

The stage was completely dark.

The large screen lights up.

Against a black background, a red character gradually emerged.

Double Happiness!
