Zhang Zhimin's group started first. Although they had just received the music, they had already arranged a simple formation. Although the dance moves were improvised, their performance was somewhat harmonious.
Vivian Hsu fell silent after seeing this, and she had to admit the strength of Zhang Zhimin's group.
However, perhaps because she was holding a grudge, Vivian Hsu felt a bit resentful.
She called over a few team members to gather around her, and in this brief moment, they revisited the dance.
They weren't particularly interested in the second dance track and didn't put much effort into it, but now none of them wanted to be labeled as useless people who "can't sing well and can't dance well."
Everyone adopted a do-or-die attitude, and surprisingly, they felt calm when they stood at the front.
A light and cheerful song began to play.
Bai Rao was the first to appear. Her singing, accompanied by the music, immediately caught Jiang Yixing's attention.
The performances of the next few people showed that their skills were average, but they were very clever and adopted a star-studded approach. When each contestant performed solo, the people behind them were in a funny state, which was very suitable for the theme of the song.
Jiang Yixing's eyes lit up; the idea was excellent. She carefully examined the contestants in Vivian Hsu's group and found that they were all quite sweet and cute. There was also a short-haired girl who was rather cool and outgoing. She was the most eye-catching when she made funny gestures.
After the performance, Zhang Zhimin was somewhat surprised, while Tao Yating glanced at the group and realized that their abilities were not to be underestimated.
Vivian Hsu's team returned to their positions.
Vivian Hsu paused for a moment, then said, "I don't think this piece is that bad."
The androgynous short-haired girl was the first to agree: "I think it's pretty good too."
After the performance, everyone was very satisfied with their ideas and acting, and they became excited. "Yes, I think we did a great job!"
"Yeah, I even saw the teaching assistant smile."
Bai Rao wasn't as resistant to the piece as she had initially, but she still said, "It doesn't matter if we think it's good; we still have to see what Teacher Mao and the teaching assistant think."
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Ultimately, it comes down to the difference in strength; otherwise, wouldn't they be able to choose whichever one they want?
During the discussion between Jiang Yixing and Mao Helin, Mao Helin's opinion was: "Actually, neither group performed that well in the first song, but Zhang Zhimin and the others' dance added some color to the performance."
From the perspective of a professional singer, Mao Helin believes that the first song is very difficult, and their level of performance is not enough to bring out the true appeal of the song, even Bai Rao.
Jiang Yixing agreed, adding that idol performances require a combination of singing and dancing, and Zhang Zhimin's group might be more confident.
The second song was very creative by Vivian Hsu's group, and the overall style of the group was surprisingly suitable for the performance.
Jiang Yixing and Mao Helin discussed it for a few minutes and finally decided to give the first song to Zhang Zhimin's group and the second song to Vivian Hsu's group.
The members of Zhang Zhimin's team were overjoyed to learn the results; they had finally won the first song!
Vivian Hsu and her group were in a dilemma. Although they had a better opinion of the second song, they still felt a little disappointed when they heard that they had indeed failed to get the first song.
Jiang Yixing called the members of both teams together and took the lead in sitting down, so everyone sat around Jiang Yixing.
"Teacher Mao and I made this decision based on the results of the two teams' performances just now. Zhang Zhimin's group performed very well in the first song, demonstrating both singing ability and excellent dance coordination."
The second piece was performed even better by Vivian Hsu's group. Their creativity was excellent, which showed their thorough understanding of the music. I believe they will deliver a satisfactory performance on stage.
Her words praised both teams, and even Vivian Hsu, who had been feeling a little sad just moments before, was no longer downcast.
The dust has settled, and they must now begin practicing.
Before leaving, Jiang Yixing called Vivian Hsu over and said, "I think your idea was really good. You can discuss it with the dance teacher again."
Vivian Hsu nodded. Only now did she realize that Jiang Yixing, the teaching assistant, was genuinely doing what was best for them and had no ulterior motives.
Vivian Hsu nodded seriously, "Okay, teaching assistant."
Jiang Yixing added, "Your team's dance skills are indeed a bit lacking, and it's unlikely that you can improve them quickly in a short period of time. I think you can play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses."
Vivian Hsu's eyes widened as she asked, "Does the teaching assistant have any good suggestions?"
"Although the second song has a cheerful rhythm, it doesn't completely eliminate the need for singing skills. You can ask a music teacher to help revise it and emphasize the singing part. As for the dance style, you can use your own creativity and focus on fun, rather than pursuing complete uniformity."
Vivian Hsu nodded frantically, "Okay, okay."
Bai Rao listened from behind. Her eyes lit up. It wasn't that Bai Rao disliked the second song; her only concern was that she wouldn't have much room to perform in it.
However, Jiang Yixing's suggestion could allow her to show her strongest side.
Bai Rao also spoke up, "Thank you, teaching assistant, but our two teams have the same music teacher, and I'm worried that the teacher won't have enough time to help us with the adaptation."
Jiang Yixing glanced at Bai Rao. Bai Rao's words seemed to be asking for her help, indicating that Bai Rao was not entirely without guile.
However, Jiang Yixing was happy to help. She knew how hard they had worked, and on the final stage, Jiang Yixing's attitude was to help whenever she could.
"I understand. I'll ask the other tutors if they have time."
Vivian Hsu was surprised and asked about her mentor! That's wonderful!
Bai Rao smiled and said earnestly, "Thank you, teaching assistant. We will definitely perform well and live up to your expectations."
Jiang Yixing reached out and patted her shoulder. "Okay, you guys start practicing first, I'll go and make contact."
Bai Rao and Vivian Hsu both nodded obediently.
Jiang Yixing quickly contacted the four mentors and suggested to the program that an additional mentor session be added before the first performance.
The production team has been treating Jiang Yixing very well and respectfully lately, and naturally they agree with any suggestions she makes.
Jiang Yixing notified all the students in advance and called Bai Rao and the others separately to remind them to prepare their questions in advance, so that they would not leave them all to the instructor to solve after the class started.
Bai Rao nodded in agreement. Their practice had been going smoothly lately. The revised dance was not so difficult and actually suited them well. Now all that was left was to revise the song.
