Chapter 102
The large screen on the main stage dimmed briefly before lighting up again. Curious trainees on the screen pushed open the door and entered the small screening room. Inside, only staff members carrying cameras remained; there were no instructors or organizers.
"You won't let us gather together to watch the show, right?" Zheng Shulin, who is more lively in character, sat down on the comfortable soft seat and looked at the big screen in the room and asked first after seeing that there was no one around. This is why he would be so relaxed when there was no mentor.
The trainees had all taken their seats at this time. When they heard his question, they instantly recalled the scene when all the trainees gathered together to watch the first episode of the show.
For the trainees who have just joined Star 101 and have no experience of being on camera, seeing themselves on the screen is simply too embarrassing, especially when they are photographed from all kinds of indescribable angles by the production crew.
The standout among them was undoubtedly Wu Yanyan. Because of the heavy early footage, he'd already experienced a frenzy of social frustration during his first crowd-watching experience. Perhaps it was due to his changed mindset, but he naturally echoed Zheng Shulin's words, "Maybe it's even more socially depressing than the first episode—"
Before he could finish his words, the screen before everyone saw Wu Yanyan's interview scene. Zhou Xiao, standing in the audience, had never seen Wu Yanyan's expression change so quickly. Upon realizing the person on the screen was his former self, he quickly buried his head in his knees, refusing to look up despite the teasing of the trainees nearby. When the camera gave Wu Yanyan a close-up, his exposed ears were completely red, like boiled shrimp.
"Hahahahahahaha!" The laughter erupted from both the trainees on screen and the audience. During the trainee audition, Wu Yanyan, caught everyone's attention with a rather sexy dance. This, coupled with his characteristic comedic smile, had everyone practically buckling with laughter.
The production team is quite good at post-production editing. Whenever a trainee gets carried away and laughs at others in front of the camera, the next scene is his own interview and test shot, which makes the laughter in the studio non-stop from beginning to end.
The audience, who were originally nervous because of the voting deadline, were now infected by the immature performances of the trainees on the screen and the atmosphere they presented to everyone, and began to relax their minds.
After the other trainees finished their interviews, everyone turned to look at Ji Shao. As promised, when Ji Shao's face appeared on the screen, his youthful appearance compared to his current state* sparked cheers and shouts from the audience.
From an amateur to the shining trainee today, Ji Shao's shots were very rare in the beginning. His fans could only catch a glimpse of him in the corner by following behind other trainees. In the early stages of the competition, Ji Shao was like gold with a thin mist for his fans, and they were eager to see more precious moments of Ji Shao as a rookie.
When did Ji Shao begin to reveal his brilliance and unique qualities? Perhaps it was the stage, untethered by the camera, the sweat-soaked training uniforms that refused to dry, the all-nighters spent expending every effort—these are the lessons learned by those who seize the opportunity and take the stage seriously.
The mood in the audience reached its peak when Ji Shao took out his guitar and started singing. Although the black-haired boy tried his best to appear steady, it was obvious that he was still a bit immature and nervous.
Seeing Ji Shao's appearance, many trainees on the screen couldn't help but stand up from their seats and surround Ji Shao to make a fuss. Some of them even took advantage of the noisy crowd to stretch out their evil hands and mess up Ji Shao's hair.
Seeing Ji Shao collapse in his seat with laughter from the trainees, the hearts of Ji Shao's fans were completely melted. Being the captain of Star 101 is a thankless job in itself. Choreography, choreography, lyrics adjustment, part assignments, etc. are all tasks that are prone to disputes.
However, the captain's role is something that only a few Star 101 trainees can assume, which leads to Ji Shao being "forced" to always serve as the captain no matter which group he is in. Even during the official backstage interviews with Star 101, the editor often stops calling Ji Shao by his name and calls him captain instead.
"It looks like a big cat being teased by its kittens." As everyone was immersed in this, Dong Xiaoyu's faint voice reached Zhou Xiao's ears through the crowd. Many people around him nodded in agreement, some even laughed out loud. Seeing their laughter, some people further away hurriedly asked around, "What's wrong?", worried that they might have missed something.
Before they could ask anything, the scene on the screen suddenly changed. A violin piece adapted from the Star 101 theme song began to play softly, like the warm winter sun accompanied by the gentle sound of flowing water.
Suddenly, images of the trainees' families appeared on the big screen. When the family's voices sounded, the audience could clearly see Ji Shao's expression on the screen suddenly froze.
Although he hadn't seen Ji Shao's mother, Zhou Xiao could tell the voice belonged to a very gentle and kind woman. Like the gentle gurgling of spring water, the violin music of the theme song enveloped his restless and exhausted soul.
The transition from joy to sorrow was too great. The audience was still rejoicing at the music played by Ji Shao in the extra test and the atmosphere created by the trainees. The next moment, many people couldn't help but empathize with the trainees and felt a pang of sadness when they saw everyone's reactions.
The VCR continued to play, and the knife-wielding segment continued. During the planned VCR playback segment, the production team also interspersed each trainee's first step into the practice room and their full effort on every stage.
The audience saw Chu Cheng, who was sweating profusely and his back was completely wet after practicing; Ji Shao, who was still working on details in the practice room even though the time in the upper right corner had reached 4 a.m.; Xiang Rui, whose veins were bulging because he was almost vomiting due to training... Countless behind-the-scenes stories connected the efforts made by the trainees on the Star Path 101 journey to be in front of the audience.
The screen gradually dimmed, and then blue smoke spread over the crown extension stage. The 22 trainees stood silently and upright in a pyramid shape on the raised triangular stage, waiting for the notification of the final results.
Zhou Quanli held the microphone, looked at the camera and said, "Only 9 trainees can enter the final debut group NINE STAR. The remaining 13 trainees will not be able to debut as a group."
When she received the card from the staff, she seemed a little surprised. The entire audience was so anxious that they wanted to turn into flying insects and immediately snatch the thin piece of paper in Zhou Quanli's hand, which carried the fate of the trainees.
"The total number of votes in this vote is 1,206,530,322." As Zhou Quanli announced the total, the audience erupted in astonishment. Over 1.2 billion votes truly astonished the audience, but this was followed by a surge of anxiety and unease. The number of votes had already surpassed everyone's expectations. So, would their favorite trainee finally debut or achieve the desired ranking?
Zhou Xiao felt a slightly trembling figure approaching her in the darkness. She turned her head to look at Zhu Jian, who was trembling beside her. Zhou Xiao grasped Zhu Jian's now cold and trembling hand, looked him in the eye, and said firmly, "Don't worry, the C position will definitely belong to Ji Shao! I sold my ticket before entering!"
——Just before Zhou Xiao and his group were about to enter the venue, a system prompt sounded:
[System Task: Support Ji Shao in the finals (1/1) and unlock 200,000 voting funds. This fund can only be used for Star 101 voting.]
After receiving the unexpected investment of 200,000 yuan, Zhou Xiao directly asked the system to purchase a membership card in the same way as she had purchased it before, and cast all the votes for Ji Shao at once!
…
The final moment of the ranking announcement had arrived. Zhou Quanli, standing on the stage, looked serious. "I already have the top nine debutants for this year's Star 101," she said calmly, shaking the cards in her hand towards the camera. "The ninth place will be announced at the last moment."
"The eighth trainee was initially rated as Class A - he performed exceptionally well in the third performance and turned the tide!" When Zhou Quanli said the first sentence, the audience had already thought through the initial A-ranking trainees in their minds. The director also deliberately focused the camera on several trainees, which made people even more terrified and suffocated.
As she waited for the words "comeback," the crowd began to chant "Xiang Rui." Some held up banners with Xiang Rui on them, and when they saw the director's camera cut to them, they frantically shouted Xiang Rui's name.
"Yes, the eighth trainee is Xiang Rui, a trainee from Shengyu Entertainment!"
The trainees on the stage surrounded Xiang Rui, hugged him, and congratulated him on this hard-earned success. Xiang Rui, on the other hand, looked completely blank. After he finished his thank-you speech, he walked blankly across the stage. The curtain covering the stage had been ripped open at some point, revealing nine seats arranged in a pyramid shape.
As the first debut spot was revealed, Zhou Xiao held Zhu Jian's hand and looked at Ji Shao on stage. He appeared calm and sincerely congratulated Ji Shao when the rankings were announced. However, Zhou Xiao noticed that Ji Shao subconsciously swallowed several times, revealing his nervousness.
Near Zhou Xiao, there was a fan of a trainee who was even more excited than Xiang Rui's fans. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a Chu Cheng fan. The person was holding a Chu Cheng sign, muttering to himself, "There won't be just one! There won't be just one!"
The announcement on the stage continued, "Next up is the seventh trainee. He's recognized as a talented dancer by the Star 101 trainees—"
The camera panned back and forth among several trainees. "He's also quite good at communication and expression. He's the trainee from Yangtai Media—Wu Yanyan!"
Compared to Xiang Rui's excitement, Wu Yanyan seemed calmer. While he was speaking, Zhou Xiao saw Ji Shao on the stage turn around and glance at Liang Wendao behind him.
Liang Wendao said nothing. He shook his head slightly at Ji Shao and then smiled. However, this smile was bitter and lost, and the bloodshot eyes reminded the audience of his exhaustion and anxiety.
"How many great vocalists are left on our stage?" Zhou Quanli on the stage asked the audience after Wu Yanyan took her seat.
"Ji Shao," "Ji Shao," "Liang Wendao," "Chu Cheng," "Ji Shao," "..." Just as Zhou Quanli was about to speak, a very loud roar rang out from the audience, "Don't call Ji Shao at this time!"
This voice clearly amused Zhou Quanli on the stage, but she quickly regained her composure and continued, "Congratulations to Attitude 1+1 trainee Liang Wendao for becoming the sixth debutant in the Star 101 finals. He was ranked twelfth last week. What are your thoughts on this ranking?"
Liang Wendao, who was on the triangular stage, immediately rushed towards Ji Shao in front of him after hearing his ranking. He and Xu Zhou were surrounded by the crowd and hugged tightly.
Liang Wendao, who originally thought he had no hope, now spoke with tears in his eyes with the support of Xu Zhou beside him. He apologized to the national producers in his tearful voice and expressed gratitude for everyone's votes.
As he stepped onto the extended runway, preparing to head to his final seat, Liang Wendao suddenly stopped. The next second, he pulled the microphone in the middle of the stage to his lips, "Ji Shao, Xu Zhou, I'll be waiting for you across the way!"
The announcement of the rankings dwindled the number of remaining spots. By the time Zheng Shulin entered the NINE STAR debut group in fifth place, many trainees in the back row had already closed their eyes, awaiting the final judgment.
Is there still a chance? It seems that it is gone.
"Next, we'll announce the candidates for first to fourth place." Zhou Quanli looked at the trainees in the back, who all looked a little gloomy. He sighed inwardly, and finally spoke to the tense crowd, following the rhythm of the drums. "In alphabetical order by surname, the alternate candidates are: Chu Cheng, Ji Shao, Xu Zhou, and Yan Shu!"
The large screen was cut into four equal parts, and the heads of the four trainees were displayed on the large screen at the back as the initiator was announced. The audience shuddered with excitement as they watched the four trainees on the screen screaming the names of the trainees on stage.
Zhou Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Ji Shao on a quarter of the screen. Ji Shao's determined eyes on the big screen gave Ji Shao's fans, who had been in a tense state, a sense of security and stability, and unexpectedly calmed everyone's impatience.
"Does anyone have anything to say?" Zhou Quanli asked with a smile, looking at the four trainees standing before him. The four of them were very humble, letting each other speak first.
Seeing the remaining three people still motionless, Ji Shao took a step forward and stood out. He nodded to the three people before walking to the front and adjusting the height of the microphone in the center of the stage.
Looking at the "Shao" sign in the audience, Ji Shao's words, already drafted, now got stuck in his throat. He had waited a long time for this day. The audience was silent, perhaps because many of them cared about Ji Shao and didn't want to disturb him at this moment.
A somewhat hoarse voice sounded, "Hello, fellow founders of Quanmin. I am Ji Shao from New Town. I would like to thank the company and the production team for allowing me to appear on the stage of Star 101 and meet you all. I would also like to thank all the staff in front of and behind the scenes for accompanying us all the way to this day.
I am also grateful for the guidance of my mentors and sponsors along the way. I will carry this guidance and encouragement with me as I move forward in the future."
He looked at the audience with a smile, "Of course, there are also the fans who have supported me and accompanied me from the beginning to the end." At this point, Ji Shao took a half step back and bowed deeply to the audience. Amid the cries and shouts in the studio, he straightened up and returned to the microphone.
"As a trainee, I came to Star 101 with my dreams and mission. As Ji Shao, I have come this far carrying your love.
Tonight is not the end but a new beginning. I promise that I will always put my original intention first and will never let you down for your love and support!"
After Ji Shao's speech, most of Zhou Xiao's fans burst into tears like her, and it was almost impossible to hear what the trainees were saying afterwards.
Zhou Quanli, watching the children gasping for breath below them, spoke helplessly, "I should have let you speak after the rankings were announced. Now look what's happened. You were already crying as a family, and now everyone is crying." But she quickly became serious, "Next, we'll announce the fourth-place contestant—"
"The fourth place is a trainee who loves rap," Zhou Quanli looked at the script in his hand, "His initial rating is - A"
The camera panned towards Xu Zhou and Ji Shao, and the audience was shouting their names. But everyone knew that if they really had to choose between the two, the fourth place would have already been chosen.
Xu Zhou smiled and said hello to the camera. He looked particularly relaxed after his speech. When he saw that the other person being filmed on the screen was Ji Shao, he gently hit Ji Shao's shoulder.
"Congratulations to Jiale Media trainee Xu Zhou for placing fourth on Star 101!"
Amidst the cheers from the audience, Xu Zhou quickly arrived at the microphone. As he finished his speech and prepared to leave, he paused, looking at the microphone in front of him. Then, he glanced at Ji Shao behind him and said, "I'll wait for you to take first place!"
The sudden smell of gunpowder made the teary-eyed fans in the audience shudder. Everyone quickly looked towards Chu Cheng and Yan Shu, but unfortunately, the onlookers didn't notice anything. The two seemed to look at each other, then smiled and whispered something.
With the announcement of the third-place Yan Shu ranking, everyone's attention shifted to the two people standing at the microphone. When Ji Shao and Chu Cheng stood in this position, the whole audience erupted in excitement, and Ji Shao's name soon echoed throughout the studio, forming a rhythmic cheer.
Chu Cheng, who was standing in front of the microphone, heard the voices from below and turned his head to look in the direction of Ji Shao with a helpless smile. At the same time, when he heard the cheers from the venue, Ji Shao also reacted immediately, gesturing and pressing down, signaling everyone to be quiet.
At Ji Shao's signal, the noise in the studio gradually died down. Zhou Quanli promptly announced the two contestants' rankings and vote counts.
However, even though they had already made a judgment on the ranking, the entire audience was shocked when Ji Shao's votes came out. After the silence, the cheers were so loud that it seemed like they were about to lift the roof off the studio.
"I'm going to faint!" Li Mo, standing nearby, almost collapsed. He looked at Zhou Xiao, "Is it really over 160 million votes?" Zhou Xiao, unable to contain his inner joy, nodded frantically in response, "That's right!!!" The only one to have broken 100 million votes, and by a huge margin!
Watching Ji Shao radiantly speak on stage, Zhou Xiao felt a feather gently fall to the ground. The screams around her were incessant, and Zhou Xiao suspected her co-stars would be hoarse afterward. But she had no right to say that, because she was part of the audience's cheers.
After Ji Shao won first place, many trainees gathered around him to celebrate, and everyone took turns hugging the two of them. At this moment, there was a sudden cry of surprise from the audience. It turned out that Liang Wendao and Xu Zhou, who had already taken their seats, ran back to the stage and hugged Ji Shao tightly.
Not long after, Chu Cheng, Ji Shao and the other two were driven back to their debut positions by the smiling Zhou Quanli. There was still one last debut spot that had not been announced.
There were still 14 trainees standing on the stage, and if fans looked closely, they could see that several of them had legs that were shaking violently. After the four candidates for the spot were announced, a thick sense of tension returned to the studio.
The current ranking predictions for Star 101 generally align with public perceptions of the trainees' wealth. While there are still some strong contenders, Star 101 is a fan-driven program. Ultimately, everything comes down to financial strength. However, at this point, eliminating any of the remaining four would be a shame for many onlookers.
"The ninth place winner of Star Path 101 is from Griffin Entertainment—Lin Nan!"
Lin Nan, on the stage, was now in tears. After finishing his speech and being comforted by the remaining trainees, he walked step by step towards the pyramid. Behind him were the thirteen trainees who had not yet formed a group, and in front of him was NINE STAR, who were waiting to welcome him.
Zhou Xiao looked at the undebuted trainees standing in front of her. It seemed as if their debut spots had already been secured. Everyone's nervousness faded, but their eyes were filled with a hint of confusion and bewilderment. The talent show was brutal. One spot short of the mark meant they'd never debuted alongside their former teammates or rivals.
Amid the celebratory salutes on the stage, Zhou Xiao used his camera to see Ji Shao, who was sitting in the highest seat, taking a deep breath of relief. He was still a little at a loss at the moment.
Following the production team's instructions over the headset, Ji Shao slowly rose from his seat and, standing at the top of the pyramid, led the debut group members in greeting the national producers. A new boy band was born, and the Chinese entertainment industry was about to enter a prosperous (and false) era where traffic reigned supreme.
At this moment, Zhou Xiao saw the uneasiness and restraint in Ji Shao's eyes gradually disappear, as if he had made a decision. At this moment, the boy's eyes were filled with determination and relief.
After Zhou Quanli finished his closing remarks, the previously eliminated trainees who had been sitting in the spectator seats came forward. Some went to comfort the top 22 trainees, while others went to celebrate with the debut group trainees.
Zhou Xiao also discovered that there were several particularly fast trainees among the top 22 who ran up to Ji Shao and hugged him tightly. Zhou Xiao recognized these trainees, as they were all trainees who had been in the same group with Ji Shao during the performance, including Kong Sheng, Shu Shining and others.
Among them, Gongsun Wenzhuo, who had been eliminated, hugged Ji Shao and cried unrecognizable, forcing Ji Shao, who was trapped in place and unable to move, to stretch out his arms to get paper from his agent to wipe his tears.
The finals night was filled with a variety of possible outcomes, each with its own complex intertwining emotions. Zhou Xiao wasn't a fan of the other trainees, but watching the two members of the group ahead of her, who hadn't even made it to debut, hug each other and cry, was heartbreaking.
The audience in the venue gradually left under the persuasion of the staff. Zhou Xiao and others who were in the front row and had to wait until the people behind them left before leaving were not in a hurry. They just stood there and exchanged their thoughts on today's finals.
The agents of the trainees also came on stage at this moment. Zhou Xiao also saw Lin Qianxia from the Star Path production team waving at her with a capable middle-aged woman, and seemed to be talking to the person next to her.
The few people chatting were soon discovered by Song Xiao, who seemed to be looking for someone. When he saw Zhou Xiao, a familiar face, Song Xiao rushed towards them from the crowd, "Finally, I found someone I know."
"Please ask me to talk to the girl in your fan club and ask if any fans would like to have a midnight snack at this time." Song Xiao knew that after the show was over, except for some fans who were in a hurry to go home because it was too late, most people would stay until the end to shoot the support video before leaving. He still had the support check-in videos organized by the fan club several times before saved in his mobile phone.
"Huh?" Zhu Jian was a little confused. "Why invite us..." Qi Sisi, who had realized something, excitedly asked Song Xiao, "Is it Ji Shao?"
Although Qi Sisi's question was somewhat irrelevant, it made everyone present understand why Song Xiao had come all this time. Everyone still remembered the support meal yesterday, but no one wanted Ji Shao to spend too much.
Seeing the hesitant looks in front of him, Song Xiao chuckled, "Our big boss is here, don't worry, we'll definitely reimburse you when the time comes! So, I'll have to tell everyone and the fans about this!"
"The venue is the Huashang Times Hotel. If there are a lot of people, we'll rent the place out. If there aren't many, I'll order food for you. Have your support staff explain the situation to me then!" Song Xiao was about to turn around when he seemed to remember something. "Oh, by the way, Ji Shao asked me to ask if anyone has a ride home. If you can't get back now, remember to tell me and I'll arrange one for you! He was able to achieve this result this time because of your support. Thank you all!"
While talking to Zhou Xiao and the others, he hung up the phone. After saying goodbye to them, Song Xiao quickly returned to the crowd and exchanged contact information with the agents from other agencies on the field.
The people standing in the front row, especially Zhu Jian, were already rapidly relaying the news to the fan club. Xingtu 101 had given the fan club ten tickets, and New Town had also given ten more, but Zhu Jian was the only one who entered the fan club. She had borrowed Zhou Xiao's ticket, and the remaining twenty tickets had been given to the top-ranked, high-paying members of their own fan club who were able to attend.
According to Cheese and Qimiao, they didn't have to join, but they had to provide corresponding benefits to their bosses. After Zhu Jian conveyed Song Xiao's words, Cheese, who was organizing the crowd to leave at Huashang Times Square, saw the message in the fan club group and let out a sharp scream.
She hadn't bothered to check the online news. After all, during the competition, no matter which perspective the app was open, it was completely flooded with news about the Star 101 finals. Cheese was just about to discuss the funding issue with Sister Number when she opened the group chat.
Looking at the fans holding up signs and chatting with each other, Cheese waved his hand and said, "There are so many people! Let's rent the whole place out!" As the saying goes, it's great to eat for a while, and it's great to eat for a long time! What's more, this is Ji Shao's reverse support for them, and what's more, the company reimburses them! This feeling is simply amazing!
While offline fan clubs were cleaning up the mess, online trending searches had already reached a fever pitch, with multiple explosions. Some netizens later estimated that just based on the trending searches for Star 101 that day, such as #Ji Shao C Position###Group List#, the total number of searches, excluding any duplicates, was a staggering 176.
There was even a blogger who had just started a blog to follow the Star 101 finals. He posted in the early morning of the next day expressing his shock at the traffic and data situation on the 19th.
——A certain blog——
@Today I am following the finals: ... Such scary data orz
[picture]
The picture shows the data of the blogger's blog yesterday. There are 137 posts, the number of reads has reached more than 30 million, and the interaction value is more than 240,000.
Ah Zhui! If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!
If I remember correctly, I think I just started my blog yesterday. The traffic is incredible.
Ah Zhui's account is really great! I saw your blog post on the trending search and found that you are really good at speaking, so I followed you!
Will you be following NINE STAR when you're on the show? I really loved your comments about the trainees during the finals! They were powerful and warm, completely different from those trainees who are just trying to capitalize on the hype and are sarcastic!
[I can’t stop laughing. A blogger with a few thousand followers gets the same traffic as a blogger with a million followers. I’m afraid only Star 101 can have this kind of popularity [laughing and crying]]
[Help! The blogger is a person who does great things hahahahahahahahaha]
[Don't sell your account to marketing accounts, treasure hunters! Your style is very popular. If you manage it well, you can make a lot more money than being a marketing account!]
【……】
The owner of the account @今日追个总终 (Today's Finals) was actually a young person with a keen internet sense, specially hired by the Star 101 production team. During the finals' trending searches, the production team would ask the hosts to make her account trending, attracting her scattered, invisible fans.
NINE STAR has many fans of individual members and couples, but the number of group fans is relatively small. In order to strengthen the Star 101 talent show IP, cultivating group fans is a very important thing.
On the other hand, the live broadcast forum building, which did not have much interference from the production team, directly broke through 10,000 floors, becoming the fastest entertainment building to break 10,000 floors in the entire forum section.

Oh my god, I just checked a certain blog and the latest post by Yan Shujia's fan club is now full of insults... His fan club seemed to say that they would withdraw the votes immediately. Except for Liang Wendao, I was really shocked by the positions in this round. It can't be true as the rumors on the Internet say that the management company didn't let him debut, right?

[Sweating] It seems that Liang Wendao has a super boss to lead him, and the time limit is 3:1 to pay money. Damn, can't there be another rich person like me in this world?

Help!!! I was shocked by the way Ji Shao's fans lit up their light sticks. It was so romantic that they lit up during Ji Shao's solo. I have to praise their quality! I thought their fan club didn't arrange light sticks. I complained to my friends before that they didn't arrange light sticks at such an important time. I didn't expect them to show up so suddenly! So many light sticks, it's so cool!

My god, Ji Shao's solo is really amazing. I've followed foreign boy bands before, and it can be said that Ji Shao's skills are not inferior to those of foreign big bands...
As a side note, the hot search charts abroad are now all discussing Xingtu 101, and just like in China, they are basically dominating the charts... I have to admire the global influence of our Xingtu, it's really 6

After watching the competition between the vocal group and the dance group, I can only say that some people in the vocal group are very cunning. I don't believe that the performance order was not agreed upon in advance. It is impossible that they really arranged themselves separately and then put them together, right?
The dance group was even better. The opening scene was a joint dance of all eleven trainees, more like teammates than rivals. Then, one trainee after another completed their solo performances using a single-shot filming technique. Watching the entire performance, it felt like a well-polished, mature performance. Otherwise, the entire group should have debuted...
