Time began to pass by minute by minute. Zhou Yiyang, who was standing at the door, had changed his posture countless times and would stand up and look at his watch every minute.

It was not until a staff member came out and informed them that they could enter that everyone present became excited again.

"Come on!" Lin Xuan'er looked at her teammates behind her with a firm look in her eyes.

"We are the best!" Tang Yue walked over and high-fived each of her teammates, making them all excited.

"Come on, come on, come on!" Repeater Wang Xingrui encouraged her teammates like a military training instructor.

"One small piece of chocolate for each person, and you won't be nervous after eating it." Su Yin is worthy of her name, even cheering is inseparable from food.

At the front desk, the thousand-person audience had already entered. Zhou Yiyang had gotten some good tickets, front-row seats. When he and Hu Die saw the cameras pointed at them, they immediately waved and smiled.

"Good evening, everyone!"

A bald man walked out. He was the host of Shanghai Satellite TV. He was funny and humorous. He was the one who controlled the evening party of Shanghai Satellite TV every year.

The audience naturally did not hesitate to give applause to welcome this big-name host.

"Today is the first performance of our 'Youth Idol 101' show. I'm sure you all are loyal fans of our show. First of all, on behalf of these 71 young ladies, I want to thank you for your company and support!"

"Now, let me first explain tonight's format. For this performance, the trainees are divided into nine groups, each captained by the top nine trainees from the previous performance.

The nine groups of trainees will perform in the order they drew lots backstage. After the nine groups have finished performing, please pick up the voting device on your right and vote for the group you think performed the best.

After you pick up the voting device, you'll no doubt notice a form underneath. That's right, after the performance, in addition to voting, you'll also need to write down on the form which nine trainees you think performed best this episode.

The group with the most votes will receive a week-long prime-time advertising spot on Shanghai Satellite TV. And the most popular performance will receive 24-hour screen advertising on 28 online platforms, including Weibo, Big Goose Video, and Dilidili.

"Fuck!" This time Zhou Yiyang couldn't help but swear. Shencheng TV is really rich. Isn't this reward a bit too generous?

"Brother Yang, it would be great if the most popular group and the first-place group were both ours!" Hu Die had already started fantasizing.

"Shut up and stop saying such bad things!" Zhou Yiyang flicked Hu Die's forehead with his hand. "The ranking of the performance is not only related to one's own strength, but also to the order of appearance. The later one is, the greater the advantage it seems."

Backstage, the nine representatives sent to draw lots have already walked up to the director.

"Then Su Yin, you go first?" The director called Su Yin's name.

Su Yin had no choice but to take a step forward and put her hand into the opaque box.

She grabbed a red ball and turned it over, and the number on it was a capital 9.

"??? Damn, Xiao Xiao Su, your character has exploded!" Wang Xingrui shouted excitedly. Until her teammates around her couldn't stand it anymore and reminded her:

"Captain, Su Yin is our opponent now. She drew ninth, which means we're ahead in the rankings."

Wang Xingrui said, "Oh!" and her smile faded. She glanced at the person she had chosen to draw the lot and said, "God bless us, and we can draw number eight!"

Su Yin, who was the last one to perform, was very happy and jumped to find his teammates.

The second person to draw the lot was Shi Feifei. She had bad luck and drew number 2.

Tang Yue's luck was even worse, and she got number one directly.

"I should have sent someone else earlier!" Tang Yue stared at her hands, confused. Her skin was so fair, how could she be a non-African?

In the end, Wang Xingrui drew number 5 and Lin Xuaner drew number 6, both of which were pretty good orders of appearance.

Amidst cheers, Tang Yue and her teammates went on stage.

This was a jazz-style dance music, so Tang Yue and the others all wore suits and entered the venue.

As soon as they appeared, Zhou Yiyang heard screams one after another. Some girls were especially excited to see Tang Yue.

"I never thought Tang Yue was so popular among girls!"

The music started and the lights on the stage suddenly went out. Although Zhou Yiyang knew that this was a stage design, he was still a little surprised.

Then a strong light hit a trainee and she began to sing.

Tang Yue’s part didn’t involve much singing, but rather a solo dance.

Under the white light, Tang Yue looked incredibly cool in her suit and leather shoes. After a passionate dance, many people in the front row couldn't help but stand up.

"Tang Yue! Tang Yue!"

They shouted Tang Yue's name.

"I really don't need to worry about Tang Yue," Zhou Yiyang said to Hu Die beside him, "She knows her strengths and weaknesses very well. However, it will be difficult for this song to take first place."

"Yeah, I just remember Tangtang." Although Hu Die liked Tang Yue, she had to admit that the first group's performance, while complete, wasn't stunning enough. Whether it was the dancing or the singing, it felt like something was missing, like scratching an itch through a boot, not going deep enough.

Shi Feifei and her group sang a very sweet song, and Zhou Yiyang thought that this song might be very good for Su Yin.

However, Shi Feifei was indeed not very suitable for this style of music. After the performance, she even left Zhou Yiyang with the impression that she was just pretending to be young.

"Brother Yang," Hu Die whispered as the discussion around them grew louder, "I don't think it's as amazing as what I saw on TV!"

"How should I put it," Zhou Yiyang threw a popcorn into his mouth. "The sound on TV is edited, but not live, so many flaws will be exposed. Many of them are performing for the first time, so nervousness is inevitable. But a good live performance will definitely sound better than on TV."

However, just as Zhou Yiyang finished speaking, the third group arrived at a car accident scene.

Tang Yue and Shi Feifei, who were sitting backstage dejected after the performance, were immediately comforted after seeing the third group's performance.

At least they didn’t forget the lyrics!

However, the audience at the scene were dissatisfied.

Although the audience was mostly college students from nearby and fans, even if they were fans, they still wanted to see a good performance.

But the first three groups did not perform as expected, and some people even wanted to leave early.

Zhou Yiyang could imagine how many people would write repos and complain about the car accident after their phones were returned after the show.

Fortunately, Tang Yue's performance was just average, and after comparison with the next two groups, it sounded even better.

At this time, the fourth group led by Chu Tianjiao came on stage.
