The initial stage performance used a scoring system. Each of the five mentors scored 10 points, for a maximum of 50 points.

The higher the score, the better.

The person with the highest score becomes the Top of the first episode.

Ultimately, only one person can reach the top and become the champion of "The Top".

After two days of initial stage evaluations, three people ultimately received 49 points.

Philomena, a female trainee from country M.

Park Sung-il, a male trainee from South Korea.

He and Bai Cangyang of China.

In this way, the top spot for the first episode will be chosen from these three people.

When reviewing the scores, everyone noticed that all three people had four 10s and one 9.

And those 9 points were all given by Shi Xi.

When Shi Xi saw the three scores of 49, her mind went completely blank.

She never expected that the pressure would ultimately fall on her.

Conrad smiled and said, "Let's see who among these three will ultimately win the favor of Instructor Shi Xi?"

Shi Xi thought to herself, "Three scores of 49, how am I supposed to choose?"

Three people scored highly, but there was only one seat available.

Therefore, only one of the three people can reach the summit.

The first episode ended amidst this controversy.

The contestants who scored 49 points came from three different countries.

Shi Xi, who wields the most power, happens to be from the same country as Bai Cangyang.

This has angered netizens in other countries.

[Isn't this so unfair to trainees from other countries?]

[Judging from this, Bai Cangyang is definitely the one who will reach the top.]

Shi Xi will definitely choose Bai Cangyang.

[Should men and women compete together? That doesn't seem right. There are inherent differences in physical strength between men and women.]

In their view, Bai Cangyang's ability to reach the summit must have been due to Shi Xi's help.

After all, Shi Xi's score is the most crucial factor.

The production team is very good at creating buzz and attracting all the attention.

Not only did they stir up conflict between the three countries, but they also stirred up conflict between the mentors and the contestants in the male and female teams.

In this way, the topic was generated, the buzz was generated, and the show's ratings and viewership increased.

Achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop.

The production team all thought they were geniuses.

After the first episode ended, the most-watched segment was Shi Xi's opening dance.

Shi Xi's opening dance cut was uploaded to YouTube and garnered a million views in just one day, leaving all the contestants' initial stage videos behind.

Even the performances of other mentors couldn't compare to Shi Xi's.

Although this is the first time a five-nation talent show has been held, each country has held similar competitions, such as beauty pageants, to varying degrees.

Shi Xi was quickly hailed as the most beautiful female mentor in the history of talent shows.

But when it comes to following the talent show, fans from different countries really want their own country's contestant to win the championship.

Netizens from various countries are even more critical of Shi Xi.

After all, it's three people vying for one spot.

There was another person in the middle who had a relationship with Shi Xi.

In this situation, not only netizens, but even the production team wanted to know what choice Shi Xi would make.

The five-nation talent show had just started recording its first episode, and the production team hadn't given them much of a script.

Who topped the charts in the first episode was not important to the production team.

What they want is excitement.

The less script there is in the early stages and the more exciting it is, the more likely the audience will continue watching.

on site.

Shi Xi looked at the three high-scoring contestants standing in front of the stage and cursed inwardly.

I should have known she would have given it 10 points too.

You can't be too responsible!

Conrad asked with a smile, "Mentor Shi Xi, who do you think is the most suitable trainee to reach the top?"

Shi Xi thought to herself that no matter who she was talking about, she would be scolded.
