"Produce 100" is a boy group survival show produced by Tomato Video. The show gathers 100 contestants and, through tasks, training, and assessments, allows them to grow under the guidance of various celebrity mentors. Ultimately, 9 contestants are selected to form an idol group and debut.
The show features veteran Wen Silin as the initiator of the boy group, Shui Siyuan as the vocal coach, Yu Jiangnan (female coach) and Qiao Juli as the songwriting coach, and Ren Jingan and Chen Mufeng as the dance coaches.
It boasts a relatively strong lineup of mentors, each of whom is highly accomplished in the industry.
This show has also garnered a lot of attention, with its real-time popularity second only to "Man vs. Wild".
This time they came to record the eighth episode, which is the recording of the third public performance stage.
The songs performed on the third public stage are all new music productions that have never been released before, and the contestants will be the first to sing these songs.
Of course, creative adaptations are also allowed, and the show's producers have given contestants this privilege.
It remains to be seen whether they have the ability to fix it.
If the changes are botched, it's better not to change them at all.
If you have the ability, then change it; if you don't, then forget it.
The third public performance requires guest performers to communicate and collaborate with the contestants over the next two days to achieve a perfect stage performance.
There are now 30 contestants remaining, divided into five teams of six, making the competition fierce.
Before coming, Shen Shiqing had already roughly understood the rules and format of the show, which were similar to the talent shows she had watched before.
Of course, I also learned about some of the players, and those who have stayed are all quite strong.
The group arrived at the recording and training location at nine o'clock in the morning.
The athletes have already begun training in their respective groups' training rooms.
The dance and songs are also being choreographed and performed.
The contestants were of course aware that there would be guest performers coming this time, and they were both excited and nervous.
They had been at the training and recording location for several months, during which time their cell phones were confiscated, so they were unaware of what was happening outside.
They were quite excited and even dressed up carefully, hoping to leave a good impression on the guest performers.
This time, a group of senior students came to lend their support, and each member of the group had an extra vote.
The senior group is the SKYLINE boy group, which became a hit across the internet after its debut last year. Because each member of the group has a two-character name, it is also jokingly called the two-character boy group.
The members of the SKYLINE boy group are Jiang Fang, Qin Ye, Shen Kuang, Yin Chen, and Xu Chen, among whom Jiang Fang and Shen Kuang are the most popular.
Yes, they are indeed incredibly handsome and extremely talented, so it's normal for them to be popular.
Among all these trainees, those with high popularity, many fans, and high support value can become the center of the song.
This is what people often refer to as the center position on stage.
The song has been decided, and they are getting familiar with it. Now they just have to wait for the guest performers to arrive.
It is said that each group will have two guest performers, but the contestants themselves are not sure about the specifics.
They just need to wait.
I was still a little nervous, to be honest.
When Shen Shiqing and his group arrived at the recording location, they began drawing lots.
Of course, you go to whichever group you're drawn into.
All eight people took a slip of paper from the box; those who had the same song written on their slips formed a group.
Shen Shiqing drew "magic," a rather explosive song with a fast tempo and rap in the middle, which seemed quite challenging.
Xiao Xia drew the sweet song "Nana". If you are a couple, the performance might be quite good.
Wen Xinran drew "Comet XP", a song for singing and dancing.
Xia Chun drew "Flashlight," a song with a theatrical style, which would be better interpreted by the other person if they were of the opposite sex.
Ren Jing'an and Yu Jiangnan, although mentors, also participated in this third public performance. They drew "Party Party," a very cheerful song.
The final results were: Shen Shiqing and Xing Jianan were in one group, Xiao Shixia and Lu Jingchu were in one group, Xia Chun and Song Zhihuai were in one group, and Wen Xinran and Qin Shiyue were in one group.
This is a grouping system that has never been used before, and it looks very interesting.
Meanwhile, the production team began to reveal information about the guest performers to the contestants.
After learning the list of guest performers, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
Everyone hopes to collaborate with the most popular guest performers, as this will help them garner votes on stage.
The "magic" group.
The members are Si Binghe, Yuan Shuchen, Lin Rujing, Sang Yiming, Lian Yunxiang and Jiang Lu.
All six of them were young, energetic, and had the vigor of eighteen or nineteen-year-old teenagers.
Of the six, Si Binghe was the most composed and served as the team leader; Lin Rujing and Sang Yiming were the most lively and adorable; and the other three younger brothers were also quite outgoing.
They were resting on the ground, drinking water and chatting after finishing their dance practice.
"I heard that each group will have two guest performers. I'm so excited. Who will they be?" Lin Rujing asked.
"I hope it's a pretty girl, hehehe," Sang Yiming smiled shyly, "I feel like that would give me even more motivation, hahahaha."
"You're so glib," Si Binghe said. "Besides, they're not professional players. Sometimes it's better not to have them at all."
“That makes sense,” Yuan Shuchen nodded in reply.
"I hope to collaborate with Actor Lu; I feel it would be very helpful," Lian Yunxiang said, taking a sip of water. "What do you think, Xiao Lu?"
"I told you not to call me Little Deer!! What kind of hunky guy is called Little Deer?!?!" Jiang Lu was speechless.
“You,” Lian Yunxiang continued to tease him.
Lianyungang!!!!
"What Lianyungang?!? You're the one whose name is Lianyungang!!! That's a lane!!!"
"I don't care, I'm going to yell! Come and hit me if you dare!"
"You just wait!!!"
The two started fooling around in the dance studio, and Si Binghe didn't say anything as he watched his two younger brothers playing around.
I'm used to it now.
Let them be.
It's a good way to relax, so there's nothing wrong with that.
He was also curious about the guests; who would be their collaborators?
Less than two minutes later, the staff asked them to gather at the place where they had first met.
Everyone knew immediately that the guest performers had arrived.
Everyone was very excited, and the rehearsal room was buzzing with excitement as everyone chattered away.
"Damn, should I dress up a bit?"
"Why are you dressing up? You're the most fashionable guy here."
"Hahahaha, you're right! With my looks, oh my, I really don't need to dress up, hahaha~"
"I really want to eat out. The outside world is so wonderful, I'm really craving it..."
"I have a thought, though it might be a bit premature, but will the seniors bring us some food...?"
"What are you thinking, you little rascal? You've gained weight lately!!!"
"I don't!!!!!!"
