Chapter 101 The Third Performance 1.0

The next morning, Lu Wei changed into the unmarked white training suit prepared by the program team and arrived at the recording location with the 55 contestants who advanced.

Although the tasks for the next stage have not yet been announced, the contestants actually have a rough guess about the third performance tasks.

Everyone failed to prove to the outside world, the public, and the program team in the second public performance that the original team was better than the new team, so the disbanding of the original team was almost a foregone conclusion.

It is very likely that he will return to the individual competition next.

Unlike team competitions, individual competitions didn't require them to consider their teammates' opinions or their compatibility; they simply needed to focus on themselves. With this thought, the burden on everyone felt noticeably lighter.

Lu Wei remained on guard, feeling the production team might pull some stunts. After all, the first and second public performances had been incredibly enjoyable, so a sudden kindness in the third was a farce—no one would believe it.

Lee Jae-hyun walked out, her gaze filled with anticipation. She smiled and greeted the contestants before taking her designated spot. She picked up her cue card and spoke into the microphone, "First of all, congratulations on completing the second stage of the performance! I believe that through this [Choice of Returning to Original Intentions], everyone has found the answers hidden deep within their hearts and discovered the path that truly suits them. Therefore, before the third stage begins, I need everyone to fill out a questionnaire. I hope you will answer honestly based on your experiences from the second public performance."

As soon as the words fell, before the contestants could think about the meaning, the staff quickly appeared with a stack of folders and handed out ballpoint pens to everyone one by one.

Lu Wei: It’s coming, it’s coming, it’s coming with explosives.

The enemy's firepower was too strong, and General Xiao Wei was defeated.

Lu Wei took a deep breath, took the folder with both hands, habitually pressed the ballpoint pen with his thumb, and signed his name reflexively.

After three years of college entrance examination and five years of simulation, her DNA moved again. She could ignore other things, but her name and admission ticket had to be written first.

Then my eyes gradually slid down and I saw three questions.

1. [Putting aside all external factors, which of the two teams A and B in the second performance would you choose to continue working with?]

Lu Wei didn't think much about it and just filled in a capital "B" on the paper.

She didn't want to make excuses with high-sounding words; that was really unnecessary. First, in terms of stage performance, Group B was stronger. Second, in terms of team atmosphere, Group B was more relaxed.

Based on these two points, she would choose to continue working with Group B. This has nothing to do with personal emotions, it's just a rational analysis.

2. [If you could choose freely, would you prefer the third stage tasks to be carried out in a team or individually?]

"Personal form."

Lu Wei didn't want to rely on the team for her own development, nor could she afford the cost of the team's failure. The advantages and disadvantages of being alone and being in a group were too obvious.

3. What does the show "Stars Are Shining" mean to you?

"Change."

Lu Wei wrote the answer very concisely. Since there is no word limit, forget about the assigned composition.

After answering all three questions, Lu Wei raised his head, looked at the contestants who were writing furiously around him, and pondered the intentions of the program team.

Aside from the third question, which had no specific meaning, the first two questions all conveyed the same idea. The production team gave the original team the choice of whether to "break up" or "not break up," rather than making a direct decision based on the results of the second public performance, where A4:B6.

enmmmm...She is willing to give the title of non-stick pan to MNTB for a fee. Maybe it is because she has been scolded too much before, and now the producer does not want to bear any bad reputation.

Lu Wei even suspected that the program team had prepared multiple plans for the third public performance.

While Group B had a better chance of winning, given the complexity of human beings, she knew without further ado that some would choose their original team. Furthermore, with cameras tracking them, players who needed to maintain their team image might also choose Group A.

Using the majority rule will harm the interests of the minority. So... what will the next competition system be like?

The folder was taken away by the staff, and Lu Wei and the others stood there quietly waiting. After about 10 minutes, Li Zaixian returned to everyone's sight with his cue card in hand.

"Thank you all for completing the questionnaire. According to statistics, out of the 55 players who participated in the third stage recording, 10 players want to continue to team up with their teammates in Group A in the next mission. However, only 7 players meet the requirements for a team of more than 2 people. They are from Eternal Stars (ES) and Cenozoic Era (CE) respectively."

Hearing the names of these two groups, Lu Wei blinked slightly faster. She realized that her roommates were truly destined to be together. Not only did they all come from the 101 team, but they also shared similar ups and downs. Now, the former teammates showed a perfect chemistry.

The weird CP has gained a lot of points again, which is going to make people dizzy.

Kim Yoo-ri and Lee Eun-seong were disappointed and tried hard to control their expressions to avoid showing silence and annoyance on their faces.

The two were on the verge of breaking down. If a bundled sales rule were to appear, they would truly collapse. Their former teammates were addicted to bloodsucking, how could that be?

The other players, watching from the sidelines, cast sympathetic glances at him. What bad luck! So unlucky! Worse still, Lu Wei, who'd already been clashing with his teammates, at least didn't have to drag the plane every day.

After watching the reaction shots, Lee Jae-hyun quickly explained, "To ensure a relatively fair competition system, the production team has given these seven contestants a chance to choose. You can form independent teams and perform in the third stage with teammates who also want to continue as Group A."

To protect privacy, the staff came on stage again and handed out folders with names on them. Lu Wei felt no pressure this time and quickly wrote down his personal information, then filled in "none" and stopped.

To be honest, when it comes to creating program effects, it's still a battle of the two. Starting from 0 frames, everything is available.

In order to get the melon, the audience not only used a magnifying glass to solve the case, but also played it in slow motion on the huge screen of the ultra-high-definition projector, each one was more outrageous than the other.

Lu Wei even suspects that in the future, fans may evolve to booking out entire movie theaters and using IMAX technology for entertainment.

Hehe...When that day comes, she will definitely go to the scene to observe and learn new ways of eating melons to keep up with the times.

All we can say is that human sorrows and joys are not the same.

Jin Youli was extremely upset, but she couldn't show it on her face.

Why was her original team's existence so irritating? Group B during her adolescence had given her a legitimate opportunity to leave the group. Now, what if her teammates were determined to fight to the death and insist on teaming up together? She would be the one being tossed around, the word "respectable" would be completely extinguished for her.

Li Enxing breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she wasn't forced to return to her original team, everything would be fine. She had been scolded quite a bit recently, so this was nothing compared to the others.

The results came out quickly. Li Jae-hyun looked at the contestants and said, "All seven of our contestants have unanimously given up this opportunity. Therefore, I declare that the third stage of the mission, [Gradually Brightening Light], begins from now on."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jin Youli's heart finally settled down.

Fortunately, the program team prepared a folder with a hidden secret, and selected the contestants to act as Group A. From it, we learned each other's names. Knowing that the two thighs I wanted to hug the most were not among them, I decisively gave up the idea of being contrived from the perspective of cost-effectiveness.

After all, if you go out and look around, you might find a fish that has slipped through the net. In your own little land, you only see the same faces.

The other contestants' eyes flickered with disappointment; they were simply there to watch the fun. If they could take down Kim Yoo-ri, everyone would get a piece of the pie.

This person's health bar is very thick.

Lu Wei strongly suggested that the production team fix the roads. There were potholes everywhere. Even local residents like Kim Yoo-ri and Lee Eun-byul had nearly fallen into them. With a green card like her, she was afraid she'd end up in a manhole cover one day.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk... No way, no way.

While waiting for instructions from the director's team, Li Zaixian stood there and observed the surroundings. He almost died of laughter at Lu Wei's little eyes. Compared to before, her expression management has indeed improved. Because her face is serious, but... does she know that her eyes are full of disgust?

His pupils were full of drama, it was hilarious to watch.

Lee Jae-hyun's lips curled slightly. After receiving the announcement, he raised the microphone and went through the process: "Everyone standing here now, regardless of your ranking, proves that you have been noticed by the star promoters. In the third stage, the production team hopes that you will find your strengths and amplify them, becoming a shining light. This performance task will add a performance format that combines all three in addition to the traditional vocal, rap, and dance assessments."

OMG!!!

The production team is surprisingly kind, and the third public performance currently seems to have no major issues. I think the results of this questionnaire survey should account for a large part of this.

Everyone chose individual competition over team competition, so the competition between the original team and the new team was omitted. Also, the concept for this competition is called "Gradually Brightening Light," which coincides with the fact that humans are most relaxed and comfortable in their areas of expertise, and are most able to enjoy the stage and perform at their best.

Confidence is the pinnacle, nothing more than that.

This time Lu Wei had to think carefully about it.

Lee Jae-hyun said: "There are a total of 12 performance pieces in this performance, including 4 pieces each for the vocal group and the dance group, and 2 pieces each for the rap group and the all-around group. Please see the title board in front for the specific repertoire information. In addition, there will be no teacher teaching for the third performance. The rap group and the dance group will need to create their own accompaniment after receiving it. The vocal group and the all-around group will also need to find the performance form that suits them best."

What what!!!

Lu Wei couldn't believe his ears. There wouldn't be a teacher teaching? So something was amiss. The production team had found a new way to save money: just buy the copyright and forget about everything else.

It’s still the same, today is another day that I miss domestic entertainment.

It was over, it was over. Lu Wei's original plan was about to be overturned. She definitely couldn't go with the dance group. She didn't have the choreography ability, and going would just be a drag. This performance was for people to find their strengths, not to slack off.

When the program crew edits the concept, what kind of person will she become?
