【Theme】A Little Melon: Selected Songs
[Main Building] The song selection is a surprise. The Star 101 production team spent a lot of money to purchase the overseas copyright this time~
1L
Does Xiaogua have any melons about forming a team? I want to eat the melons of forming a team, please please!
3L
Star 101 is pretty generous. At least it's not like the foreign talent shows I followed before, where the trainees had to buy the copyright themselves. It made me laugh to death. They are so stingy!
The trainees who didn’t buy it are doomed. It was cut directly and they didn’t even get any shots. It’s a huge loss.
6L
Woohoo, 3L, don't tell me. I suspect we're watching the same talent show. My former ...
11L
So it seems like some of the individual trainees this time must be outstanding, right? Otherwise, I guess the production team wouldn't have bought the copyright for the individual trainees if they weren't outstanding, right?
19L
Reply to 11L: ...Sister, you're too naive. Even if there are trainees from management companies, some of the songs they sing don't have copyrights. As for why, the management company won't buy them [spreading hands]. Unless it's a large entertainment company that will prepare copyrights for trainees, otherwise hehe~
21L
Want to know if the competition system is different from that in other countries? @一只小瓜
23L
I'm so anxious, is there no one who cares as much as I do about who teams up with whom in Yigong?
29L A small melon
Reply to 21L: The first public performance is a group showdown. There are 8 songs in total. 101 trainees are divided into 16 teams. Two teams with the same songs are selected to compete.
36L
Help, I really want to see this, does the melon master know what song Ji Shao chose? Look at me, little melon!
39L
I want to know the results of Chu Cheng and Xiang Rui's grouping! I pray that they can be in the same group, so that I can complete my dream of "Flying Birds" and have a stage in China [crying]
41L
Can Xiaogua reveal any tracks? I'm really looking forward to it!
48L
Did Guagua disappear to pee?!!!
…
With the format of the first public competition revealed by @一只小瓜 from the Star Path 101 special group on the forum, it quickly attracted attention and discussion on the forum and various platforms.
Many people even started posting their own predicted songs, and these predictions were also carried by marketing accounts on other platforms, and they became quite popular. Many people left heartfelt comments on who was suitable for which predicted song.
Of course, the songs for the trainees' first performance were decided early on. In order to maintain freshness, the program team also issued a gag order against them, not allowing them to leak the songs to others, especially to offline fans.
【Topic】Sunflower: The selection of melons is for reference only~
[Main Building] Ji Shao was the first to choose someone, and he chose Xu Zhou
1L
Why was Ji Shao the first to be selected? On what basis? Was it because of connections?
4L
Emmm, don't worry, it is known that Ji Shao is the C position. According to the tradition of talent shows, the first person selected is always the C position of the theme song.
8L
This is my first time chasing stars. I don’t understand why he was allowed to choose. He already has such a big advantage by being the C position, why can he get more advantages?
13L
I can't stand some of these idiotic comments. First of all, Ji Shao's C position isn't an advantage. Only trainees from Class A can compete for the C position, and Ji Shao earned it through battle!
Secondly, being the first person to be chosen in the first performance has always been the privilege of the C position, understand?
19L
I understand, but could you be a little gentler? Not everyone has watched the talent show. Can't you explain it to them properly?
24L
Why doesn't anyone care who Xu Zhou is?
29L
To be honest, I don’t even know this person. I’m racking my brains to figure out who this person is. Hahahaha
34L
The above person is too lazy, just go to the Xingtu 101 official blog and search it. Xu Zhou is Jiale's trainee, who knows Jiale?
39L
Reply to 34L: I don't know him, but I just saw Xu Zhou's cheering video, and a lot of big guys are cheering for him? It seems pretty impressive!
42L
Oh my god, Yan Shu is Jiale's trainee!
Just because Yan Shu is the only one leading Jiale, we can't just know that he doesn't know about the company, hahahahahahaha
46L
I looked in the photo and found that Xu Zhou was one of the 8 people in Junior A! Wow, he has some talent!
48L
Uh... isn't Ji Shao going too far? There are 16 teams, and he's in Class A. Doesn't that mean there are two Junior A's? And he only picked one. I remember that these teams usually consist of 6 or 7 people, right?
56L does not eat carrots
So scheming, but this is just the entertainment industry, especially some people who are short-sighted. Once they see something good, they can't bear to let it go and must grab it into their own bowl. I just don't know whether the person chosen by him is lucky or unlucky. Let's pray that they perform normally!
60L
Wow, 56L has such a poisonous mouth. His words are too harsh. Moreover, this is just a melon. It is outrageous that he eats the melon and steps on others. It is really outrageous.
73L
Maybe they just have a good relationship...
…
The heat caused by the melon owner Xiangyanghua was far higher than the expectations of the people behind it. Seeing such a large amount of traffic, many melon owners who usually lurk took advantage of this trend to post melons that were half true and half false in the forum, leading a wave of public opinion.
The fact that Ji Shao chose Xu Zhou, who was also a junior A, also sparked a lot of discussion, because some people found that Xu Zhou was also a trainee in Class A during the re-evaluation. Suddenly, many fans who were not Ji Shao's fans couldn't help but be outraged.
【Topic】Don’t be too Ji Shao
[Main Post] Wow, I really can’t imagine how he could be so selfish and not give other trainees a way out?
1L
Who in my family understands? When I first saw his face, I felt vaguely that this person was quite scheming. He gave me the feeling that he was a complete egoist.
5L
I used to think that the two of them might have known each other, so they teamed up together for the first time, but I didn’t expect that both of them got A in the initial and second ratings.
Isn't this really unfair to the other trainees? And if there's only one strong trainee on stage, what's the point? I don't understand!
13L
Did Ji Shao mess with someone's cake? I remember that after the last trending search, there were a lot of negative posts about him on the forum. And seriously, on a variety show like this, there must be a strong team-up, right?
Are those people above hoping for one A-class player per team? Have you ever considered that that wouldn't be enough? Besides, if two A-class players or above were to team up, it would affect the performance, and the production team would be the first to disagree!
16L
I feel like he's quite scheming and very competitive... I'd be very depressed if I met someone like him in real life... I'd definitely avoid him the moment I meet him orz
21L
It's normal for talent shows to have ambition, so why are you so disgusted? Remember, Star 101 is a competition for 101 people. How can you stay on a show like that without ambition and a competitive spirit?
29L
By the way, can you confirm whether the trial is real or not? What if it is fake?
34L
How could it be fake? I feel like Ji Shao is that kind of person.

——Star Path Production Team——
"Boss, I see there's a huge row going on over there on the forum. Do you want to intervene?" A man wearing glasses and a striped shirt looked at the chaotic atmosphere on the forum and asked his boss who was sitting next to him in the office.
The man looked past the man with glasses and peeked at his computer, which displayed a series of negative posts about Xingtu 101 trainee Ji Shao. He was about to speak, but paused. "Pack it up and send it to Xiaolin."
Xiao Lin, also known as Lin Qianxia, was transferred to work under Zong Zhengqian after the official blog timing incident was resolved through negotiation, and was directly responsible for matters related to public opinion.
Sitting in front of her computer, she opened the compressed file sent by her colleague from the Public Opinion Department. The title of the compressed file was [Ji Shao]. She was very familiar with Ji Shao, or rather, Ji Shao's fans. The previous private messages were all from her, who communicated with Ping Ran Xin Dong.
After she quickly browsed through it, Lin Qianxia took the footage she had taken with her mobile phone and went to Zong Zhengqian's office. She knocked on her door and walked in after receiving a signal.
She didn't go to find Zong Zhengqian because of her affection for him, but because as an internal staff member of Star 101, especially those who had to deal with public opinion related to the trainees, she knew what kind of team Ji Shao had chosen.
Zong Zhengqian listened to Lin Qianxia's report and took a deep breath while holding her teacup. Xingtu 101 was a closed-door training program, and trainees were not allowed to bring their phones to communicate with the outside world.
Of course, a better way of putting it is that they don’t want outside comments to disturb the trainees’ mentality. To put it bluntly, they don’t want the trainees to secretly contact their teams through their mobile phones.
The Star 101 program team is quite strict in checking mobile phones. Not only do they conduct device scans and manual inspections, but they also use Bluetooth, WLAN, etc. to check the situation from time to time.
Dozens of mobile phones have been confiscated during the recording of the show so far, and many trainees have secretly hidden more than one phone.
WLAN was used because the Huashang Times Square had not yet been put into use. The staff only needed to check to know which hotspots were set up by the trainees, and then they could accurately catch them through the cameras.
Of course, the trainees have loopholes, and the staff of the program team may also have them, but Zong Zhengqian can only turn a blind eye to this.
Zong Zhengqian rubbed the hot teacup with her fingers. She paid close attention to Ji Shao, not only because of him personally, but also because of his agency and his fans.
Ji Shao chose Xu Zhou, but this was entirely because he picked Xu Zhou among the trainees he designated as the next choice.
The person who posted this obviously did it on purpose. Do you think they are wrong? No, Ji Shao did draw Xu Zhou, but they were not in a team.
He pondered for a long time, the teacup in his hand gradually growing colder. Although he already had a few ideas, in order to maximize the benefits, Zong Zhengqian raised his eyes and said to Lin Qianxia standing in front of him: "Contact Xincheng and discuss cooperation!"
