The director and the person in charge, Sister Zhang, had already instructed that Su Can should have more screen time and more interaction time than other contestants.

Teacher He Ling quickly created a topic of conversation.

"CanCan, you currently have 99 votes from the contestants, the mentor panel has a full vote, and you have one vote left! Do you want to vote for yourself?"

Su Can smiled and asked in return, "What do you think, Teacher He?"

Teacher He tactfully dodged the question, saying, "What do you think, Can Can?"

The comments section was buzzing with excitement.

Haha, this is the push-pull technique from Tai Chi...

The two people can keep asking each other questions until the show ends!

【No nesting dolls allowed!】

Su Can probably won't vote for me. His friend Yu Xiaonuo was just one vote short of getting into Class A, and she didn't vote for me either. Sometimes, netizens really do use morality to blackmail people!

As soon as that comment appeared on the screen, Su Can spoke loudly into the microphone.

"Of course I'll vote for myself! Is there anyone in the world who likes myself more than I like myself?"

Teacher He was taken aback.

This angle is quite unique!

The entire audience burst into laughter!

He Jiong seized the opportunity to say, "There can't be one person like that, otherwise it would be 101 votes, which would violate the program rules!"

[As expected of Teacher He, the number one savior!]

Seriously, only Teacher He can withstand Su Can's series of attacks!

[Think of Zhang Xiaoxiao and Lulu, and feel sorry for them for a second!]

He Ling: "Can Can, to be honest, this song was criticized by netizens in the barrage as a 'gloomy' song, and there's also the suona. We all know that the suona is a commonly used instrument in folk weddings and funerals. How did you come up with the idea to write such a song, and how did you come up with the idea to use the suona to play it?"

Su Can replied with a smile: "The song opposes the outdated custom of ghost marriage and advocates freedom of love. This goes without saying; the comment section representative has already made the annotations for me. As for the suona, what I wanted to do was to incorporate the good things left by our ancestors into popular songs."

"Western musical instruments are popular in China now. For example, there was a nationwide craze for learning the piano a few years ago, but the piano is not the only musical instrument..."

"Our traditional musical instruments, such as the qin, zheng, xiao, dizi, suona, erhu, pipa, silk and bamboo instruments, and drums, can also create beautiful popular music."

"I hope that when people learn piano or guitar, it's out of interest and love for the instrument, not because they think Western instruments are superior. We should have confidence in our own culture..."

Applause erupted from the audience.

[The music just now was so beautiful!]

[CanCan always speaks like a scholar, but she's so full of positive energy!]

[This message should be placed outside the gates of schools that force children to learn piano and played repeatedly!]

Teacher He Ling brought the topic back.

"Let's hear the mentors' comments on CanCan's performance."

Everyone looked at Deng Xiaochao.

Deng Xiaochao, who had been listening most attentively, spoke into the microphone.

"This competition was very meaningful; it showed me the diversity of the world!"

Haha, I can't laugh enough! The world is so unfair!

[Super Boy 666, the world's diversity, are you still recovering from the shock of "Candy is So Sweet"?]

[Low EQ: Aside from Su Can, what trash are all these people?! High EQ: They show me the diversity of the world!]

Ning Jing: "It's good, I like this song, but I didn't fully understand it. Next time, it would be best to put an annotation next to it..."

[Jingjie has a unique way of thinking; she even adds annotations to songs?]

[Jingjie is quite honest!]

Well said, don't say it again!

The other three mentors also gave Su Can high praise.

Zhu Zhu: "I think it's very meaningful to be able to integrate traditional opera and ethnic elements such as the suona."

Lin Xing: Overall, it's an innovation, exploring different forms of expression for traditional Chinese music, which is excellent.

Quan Yu: "Cancan's singing skills are also top-notch. The use of various singing styles gives the song a richer emotional expression."

He Ling: "Okay, the mentors all gave it a thumbs up. And Su Can chose to cast his vote for himself, so our idol training camp has produced its first contestant with a perfect score since the show started!"

[I'm so afraid that Chan-chan will reply, "She died again!"]

[Defeated!]

[CanCan just likes to use memes, he's not really low in emotional intelligence. Doesn't what he said make sense?]

[CanCan's values ​​are indeed very sound...]

With Su Can's song "Xi" trending on social media, the popularity of "Idol Training Camp" has skyrocketed, currently ranking first in online variety show viewership!

Meanwhile, the show "Brilliant Show," which was also airing at the same time, saw a slowdown in viewership growth and a continuous decline in its reputation.

Many viewers came here to leave comments.

[Without Su Can, the dazzling fashion show is utterly pointless!]

That show was hilarious! Yang Chenyi was favoring a pre-selected contestant in one of the competitions; it was so unwatchable!

[Sister Mi'er really wanted to leave, but it seems she stayed only for Su Can!]

[Su Can is so interesting! He asked Sister Mi'er to stay and give the contestants a chance, but he himself participated in the training camp and completely blew up the show's viewership!]

I gave you a chance, but I didn't say you could win!

[Don't you understand? Chanchan is giving him a chance to shine!]

After four hours of competition, all 100 contestants of "Idol Training Camp" have finished their performances.

Forty contestants were eliminated.

The sixty people who advanced were divided into classes A, B, C, and D based on the number of votes, with fifteen people in each class.

The contestants lined up in their designated areas.

He Ling walked onto the stage.

"The semi-finals are a 60-to-20 competition, which means that two-thirds of those of you who advance will have to leave this stage!"

"The competition is fierce, and I hope you can seize this opportunity!"

"In the next match, the classes will be reassigned based on individual performance and off-field votes. The semifinals will be a team competition, which will eliminate the two lowest-ranked classes..."

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

This competition format is much more brutal than other variety show talent shows.

Nowadays, variety shows are constantly being padded out in order to make money.

The normal elimination mechanism should be: 60 to 40, 40 to 30, 30 to 20, then 16 nationwide, 12 nationwide, 8 nationwide, 8 to 6, 6 to 4, and then the final.

However, the elimination process in the training camp was drastic.

If you perform poorly in one match, you'll be eliminated. What's even more terrifying is that the third match is a team competition, and if one player performs poorly, the entire class might be eliminated!

Teacher He Ling made a gesture.

The proposition appeared on the big screen.

"To ensure sufficient training time, we will announce the questions for the semi-finals in advance!"

The scene elicited another gasp of shock.

Are you kidding me?

Eliminating two classes is absurd, and there's even a set topic for it?

That's way too difficult!

Teacher He laughed when he saw the comments on the screen.

"That's right, it's that cruel. On our stage, only results matter, not sweat! No matter how much effort you put in, the audience will only see you for a few short minutes on stage! So, young people, please meet the challenge with your highest enthusiasm and best performance!"

The contestants looked at the question.
