Chapter 12

All members followed the instructions and came to a spare room behind the stage.

There were no signs ABCD in the spare room. Just when the members were feeling confused, the mentors slowly walked in.

Teacher Jin Yan said, "The students who have just been selected for Class A will stand in the open space to my right, and the other members will stand in the open space to my left."

Soon, all the members stood in position as Jin Yan said.

On the wall opposite the door of the spare room, there is a huge screen.

Jin Yan said, "As you can see from the center positions just selected, there are a total of 6 centers this time, representing 6 songs."

"Later, these six tracks will be played on the screen, and the center members will select them in turn according to the style they want."

"And the order is the same as the order in which the center members were selected just now."

Lin Qingyi glanced at the absent-minded Ning Cong'an. She was the third one to be chosen. Seeing Ning Cong'an in this state, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The next second after Jin Yan finished speaking, the huge screen lit up.

The first track appears.

The screen slowly lit up with a blue light, and melodious and soothing music came out from the speakers on both sides of the screen.

The video demonstration on the screen is only a short clip, but it is enough to show the nature of this track.

It is basically based on singing, with only a short and simple dance segment.

The demonstration was only a minute long, and soon, the next song appeared.

A piece of heavy metal music came out from the speakers, followed by a rap and a dance move of moderate difficulty.

It's also one minute long. The last one is not biased. It is adapted from a song by a classic girl group, with a 50-50 split of singing and dancing.

This song seems to be the most suitable, but in the end no one wants it.

Because the contestants are more or less good at some subjects, some are good at dancing, some are good at singing, and everyone certainly wants to shine in the areas they are better at. If they choose such a 50-50 song, it will be difficult to show their expertise in a certain area.

After the three songs, the screen show ended.

The contestants naturally had many doubts.

"Aren't there six center positions? Why are there only three songs?"

Jin Yan smiled and said, "The mission hasn't been completed yet, so please be patient."

"Everyone has just seen the three tracks that were shown, and some people have questions: why are there six center positions, but only three songs?"

"Because it's our first performance, we're going to start eliminating contestants."

As soon as Jin Yan finished speaking, all the contestants in the audience started discussing.

Reality is so cruel. We have only been on the island for less than half a month and the players have to be eliminated.

"and……"

Jin Yan continued to speak, and when the contestants heard that she was going to continue, they quickly fell silent again.

"There are a total of 96 contestants here. Everyone must know this. We will eliminate 48 contestants in our first performance."

"There are three songs in total, six teams, and half of them will leave us right after the first performance."

This time, after Jin Yan finished speaking, the contestants stopped discussing.

This time I was scared.

I knew that talent shows were cruel, but I didn’t expect that half of the contestants would be eliminated in the first performance.

Seeing the dead silence after she finished speaking, Jin Yan spoke again to ease the situation, "Don't be too nervous, everyone. There's still half a month to prepare before the first performance. Everyone, prepare well. Even if you're eliminated, it will be a unique achievement."

"During this period, all six instructors will guide you. This is a great opportunity to receive professional training. Don't let it go to waste."

After she finished speaking, Jin Yan turned to face the six center positions on her right and said, "Now, you can start choosing your songs, starting with the first contestant, Yan Feiyang."

When it was Ning Cong'an's turn to choose, there was only the third song left.

Because there is a rule that the top three must select the first three songs, so Tan Xiaoran, who is in fourth place, is in a better position than Ning Cong'an.

Ning Cong'an had no choice, but for some reason, Lin Qingyi felt that Ning Cong'an seemed to want to choose this song.

After thinking about it, Lin Qingyi felt that he must be overthinking it. The other party was such a good singer, how could he choose this song if he had no choice.

After choosing the songs, it is the turn of the captain in the C position to choose his teammates.

The rules are also to start with Yan Feiyang, and choose by yourself, and then choose in turn. After you have finished choosing, if there is no one you want to choose, you can leave it blank first, and wait until there are people left, and then automatically belong to the group.

The selection starts with Class A.

Each captain has a limited number of spots, and we can’t let the previous captains pick all the good ones, so it’s still fair.

For the members of Class D, being able to team up with the players of Class A all of a sudden is a huge gap.

So some players are happy and hope to improve, while others are sad and afraid of dragging the team down.

But there is no point in thinking too much, because the team leader is the one who selects the people.

Lin Qingyi just stood there and waited quietly, starting with Yan Feiyang.

Yan Feiyang walked and chose for a long time, and as he was choosing, he met Lin Qingyi's eyes.

Yan Feiyang saw that she was looking at him and thought that if she wanted to join her, that was not impossible. But the next second, Lin Qingyi looked away without giving her any expression.

!

Yan Feiyang's finger, which had just been stretched out to pick Lin Qingyi out, froze in mid-air, and then he randomly pointed at a contestant next to Lin Qingyi.

This ungrateful person!

However, Lin Qingyi didn't pay much attention to Yan Feiyang, who was so angry that he looked like a pufferfish, but just looked at Ning Cong'an not far away.

She really hoped that Ning Cong'an would choose her. After all, she had the experience of theme song selection, and she and Ning Cong'an worked very well together.

The most important thing is that her singing has actually improved.

As long as she practices more with Ning Cong'an, maybe she will be able to sing better in the future.

As she thought about it, a barely perceptible smile appeared on her face.

Little did they know how ambiguous this expression and gaze would appear to the audience on the other side of the camera.

Lin Qingyi just waited like this. Before Ning Cong'an, no one came to choose her, probably because her singing was bad.

Yan Feiyang chose a piece that focused on dance, and she did not choose Lin Qingyi. The second person chose a piece that focused on vocal music, and naturally would not choose Lin Qingyi.

Ning Cong'an saw that it was her turn, but there was still no expression on her face. She did not go to Class A first, but went straight to Class B.

Before Lin Qingyi could react, Ning Cong'an spoke and called out her name.

When Lin Qing heard his name coming out of her mouth, he was stunned for a moment, and then walked towards her.

She felt that her ears must be red again.

Ning Cong'an's voice was originally a little cold but very pleasant to the ear. When Lin Qingyi heard the other party calling his name for the first time, he felt his heart suddenly numb.

After Lin Qingyi was selected, the selected players would go directly to the camp where their captains were, so Lin Qingyi just smiled and glanced at Ning Cong'an, then walked to the place where Ning Cong'an had just stood.

Ning Cong'an basically didn't know anyone except Lin Qingyi. She only called out Lin Qingyi's name. When choosing other people, she could only use her fingers to pick them out, just like Yan Feiyang.

Soon, the members were selected: 96 members, 6 teams, and 16 members in each team.

For one team, it's really too much.

Even if the lyrics of a song are split into two halves, each person can only get no more than 3 sentences.

Therefore, the C position in the first performance can actually be regarded as the most important C position among these performances.

If you are chosen as the center for the first time, you will not only be able to sing the most words and have the most shots among the 16 people, but you will also avoid the risk of being eliminated the first time.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Qingyi is even more worried about Ning Cong'an's situation.

Lin Qingyi thought about it and decided that during the half month of practice, she had to say something good about Ning Cong'an in front of the camera.

About twenty minutes later, all the members had been selected and the teams were formed.

Seeing that everyone was already standing, Jin Yan stepped forward and said, "Now that everyone has chosen their teams, you can start preparing in your respective dance studios. Each team has its own corresponding studio in order from 1 to 6. After practicing the theme song assessment, everyone should be familiar with the studio number order."

"Okay, now each team please go to your own dance studio and prepare."

Lin Qingyi followed behind Ning Cong'an. Because there were many people and the aisle was narrow, she was very close to Ning Cong'an, so close that she could almost smell the faint scent of shampoo on the other's soft black hair.

Obviously, they were using the same thing, which was given to them by the program team, but Lin Qingyi just felt that the other person smelled better, and he didn't know why.

In this way, 96 people squeezed and finally entered the corresponding dance studio.

I don't know when the dance studio installed a small display screen with three songs on it. You can use the remote control to select the song you want to watch and play it.

It seems that the program crew has absolutely no intention of returning the phones to them.

But it’s better this way. After the last lesson, Lin Qingyi felt that he should stay away from his mobile phone.

After everyone briefly introduced themselves, Ning Cong'an clicked on the video on the display screen.

It is a very classic song. Almost all the members here can sing it, and some can even dance to it.

But now being able to dance has become a problem, because the program team has completely changed the melody and dance of the song, leaving no trace of the original.

Lin Qingyi took a quick look and found that the dance was not difficult, but it was a little difficult to dance well.

Moreover, with 16 people, marching in formation became a hassle.

We all sat here and watched it more than three times.

This time we can’t practice alone one by one.

Because everyone has seen Lin Qingyi's dancing skills, although Ning Cong'an is the captain, he chose to give the task of guiding teammates and arranging formations to Lin Qingyi.

To be fair, everyone chose to draw lots for all positions, except Ning Cong'an and Lin Qingyi.

Ning Cong'an was the C position, so naturally there was nothing to draw lots for. And because Lin Qingyi had to monitor the formation at all times, everyone naturally gave the difficult front position to Lin Qingyi.

After drawing lots, Lin Qingyi was ready to adjust the formation first.

It is useless to just watch the video to know the positioning. Everyone must ensure that they do not affect others while dancing, but they cannot be too spread out.

Lin Qingyi first asked everyone to stand in their respective positions, and then made adjustments one by one.

When he was finally about to go and adjust Ning Cong'an's position, Lin Qingyi didn't see it because his teammates were walking behind him and he tripped.

Lin Qingyi was prepared to fall, but unexpectedly, the next second, he fell into a warm and soft embrace.
