Day 35
Chen Chi made the most progress. Since dark-skinned boys are not in girls' aesthetic taste nowadays, and he was a completely unknown high school student, he was only ranked 72nd when he entered.
He performed well on the first stage, showing his talent and beautiful singing voice. Everyone knew he would improve, but no one expected him to jump into the top 20.
"Tsk, isn't it because he relied on Fu Xunyan's guidance?" A trainee in the back row teased him.
"Shh!" The colleague next to him covered his mouth, looked carefully at the camera, and nodded at the microphone on his chest.
The man had no choice but to shut up in disappointment.
Chen Chi smiled brightly, and the two roommates stood together and gave speeches. Chen Chi was actually quite shy, and after saying a few words, he lowered his head and blushed, constantly leaning towards Bai Wenji.
Bai Wenji pushed him away with a helpless look on his face.
Everyone below looked at Chen Chi lovingly. Apart from Duan Qiqi, Chen Chi was the youngest child in the show.
When Bai Wenji took the microphone, this usually aloof boy, rumored to "disdain socializing," pursed his lips before slowly speaking. As a theatrical heir, his voice and pronunciation were distinctive.
“I feel very lucky to be in this position.”
"My master once said that there are many people who have practiced for ten years, but not many who can perform on stage for two minutes and be seen. The same is true for everyone on the road to becoming an idol."
"To be honest, I felt superior before this because I had worked hard through the cold winters and hot summers for the past decade or so. I was confident that I was no worse than anyone else. But I was wrong."
His cold gaze scanned the area and slowly landed on someone's face.
The camera was very sensible and pointed at Fu Xunyan.
“There are always people who can endure more hardships than me. When they are moving towards their goals, towards what they love, they are so dazzling, so dazzling that my sense of superiority is shattered.”
"I know a lot of people think I shouldn't be in such a high position."
Bai Wenji took a breath and said, "But I will prove it next."
"I will use everything to prove that I can stand here, and I will stand higher."
Bai Wenji is proud.
In the past, he could still cover up his temporary failure by saying, "I'm a theater actor, and I'm definitely not used to the idol circle." But the first public performance is over, and one-third of the competition is over. Bai Wenji can't accept that his strength is still stagnant.
Only 14th place... He definitely wasn't willing to be ranked below so many people.
He felt anxious inside.
Fu Xunyan looked at Bai Wenji without any expression, as if the topic he was talking about had nothing to do with him.
Because whether or not to improve is Bai Wenji's own decision. Fu Xunyan doesn't worry about his friends' anxiety about improving, nor does he get irritated by their potential to surpass him.
He will move forward just the same.
The atmosphere became even more tense when the top ten rankings were announced.
[Is Kenny number 10?]
[You’re only number 10! !]
[??? This isn't an insult to him. Isn't number 10 already pretty good?]
[The first one is obviously not Xiufen. There are only 7 people who debuted on this show. 8/9/10 are just runners-up.]
[Please know that I wish you the most vicious curse, number 8]
[But isn’t Fu Xunyan the 8th? I remember]
[Hey, the news is so out of date! He was already #8 after the theme song was announced, not to mention the just-announced Patrox ambassadorship and the magazine collaboration with Cong He!]
[That’s right, Fu Xunyan’s official fan page suddenly gained 100,000 followers this weekend, and on Monday and Tuesday it soared by 300,000…]
There are not many people sitting here. Apart from the 41 eliminated people, there is a potential 60th place, and the rest are definitely candidates for the top 10.
The rankings of Fu Xunyan, Ye Lai, Minhai, Da Pei, Zhou Hengyu, Kenny, Bo Mi, Yin Xingheng and others remain a mystery.
Jiang Sulin looked at them, curled up the corners of his mouth, and started to sign up with his hand card.
"Now let's reveal the 10th place. He has been called the ceiling of handsome men since the show started."
Isn't this Fu Xunyan? Many trainees were discussing this, but then they shook their heads. No, Fu Xunyan shouldn't be only 10th. He single-handedly brought the entire show's traffic to the top.
"One look from him can captivate people, and his dancing was described as very smooth by instructor Zhang Qu."
"He loves jokes, and even though he often gets them wrong because he's a foreigner, he always makes people laugh."
"He is the foreign trainee Kenny!"
[Huh? Why is Kenny only ranked 10th? Is there something fishy going on?]
[Please, count the remaining ones, please? Kenny is good, but he's no match for them.]
[Are you kidding me? How did Zhou Qi, a student from Class F who's both useless at singing and dancing, manage to get into the top 9?]
Because he knows how to sell! He's super good! It feels like he's the one who's pulling all the gay couples out of "New Century." He's sucking the blood out of the 10th-20th place, so doesn't that put him in the top 9?
[Really, this is a superb little white flower. Although it is a bit obvious, some people just like to see it.]
[Zhou Qi was a small internet celebrity before, with quite a lot of fans, and those Qi mamas were really crazy, praising him for having an IQ ceiling while also relying on wheat bran to get to the top]
[IQ ceiling? Who put that on him?]
[He didn't hang out in the circle before, right? He's from a top 2 school, isn't that unbelievable?]
[Huh? I'm the only one?]
[He's really smart. Wasn't fxy's decision to flip the table over when he first tried to link up with MH? Then he changed his personality, no longer going for the "little white rabbit" route, but going for the "silly but dark little white rabbit" route.]
As expected, the next one was Zhou Qi, ranked ninth. For a moment, the comments were full of doubts, but these did not affect Zhou Qi. He smiled faintly, thanked his "good brothers", and bowed in conclusion.
There wasn't much to say, and there wasn't much to dig up, so he cleverly avoided making a fuss about it.
Next up is a trainee named Shi Liye, who is known as "Brother Shi Li" by fans due to his homophonic pronunciation. He is indeed very talented, but because of his "Buddhist" style, he doesn't have much of a storyline, so he only hovers around the top ten.
But within a kilometer, he was one of the dark horses of "Hot Blood Battle Song" and successfully made it into the top 10.
The top 7 are already the debut positions, and all the fans breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts were also tense again.
Because what’s coming next is the battle among the upper circles.
Among the top 7, several have obvious opposing relationships, such as Fu Xunyan and Ye Lai, Yin Xingheng and Ye Lai, Da Pei and Min Hai, Zhou Hengyu and Min Hai, Fu Xunyan and Zhou Hengyu, and probably only Bomi is immune.
It's so funny. After all, everyone knows that this guy relies solely on his looks and fans. If he doesn't make any progress, he will naturally fall out of this ranking in the second and third public performances.
However, Zhou Hengyu had already lost to Fu Xunyan once in the first round, and now his fans had no confidence to shout at Fu Xunyan - everyone knew that only Ye Lai and Fu Xunyan were competing for the first place.
[Bold prediction: Bo Mi 7th, Min Hai 6th, Zhou Hengyu 5th, Dal Bae 4th, Yin Xingheng 3rd]
[This is the ranking in my mind as well]
[Yin Xingheng is definitely in 3rd place, after all, "A Love Song" has also gone viral, but Dalbae and Zhou Hengyu... Zhou Hengyu's celebrity second generation is still quite popular in the news.]
[Yeah, new fans don’t know about his tricks on treasure hunting, so they might have been tricked into voting.]
[You're crazy! Hengyu is also doing this for the stage. Why are you targeting fxy? What's so popular about your family?]
[hehe]
[Hehehe]
The rankings are out, but they're different than most people think.
The goalkeeper for the debut group is Minhae, followed by Dalbae.
Zhou Hengyu was 5th, Yin Xingheng was 4th, and Bo Mi actually came in 3rd.
[??? Are you crazy about the vote manipulation? How dare you put Bomi at number 3? It's shocking that a piece of trash is actually at number 3, right?]
[Before the sb bar, every vote for Bobaobao was cast by his mother, okay? Our official fan page has 1.01 million followers, second only to Fu Xunyan]
[I bought this number of fans]
[Watch your mouth! I'll sue you for spreading rumors!]
[Persons raising their hands, I can prove it's true. Bo Mi's family really has a lot of fans, because Bo Mi's "domineering CEO's younger brother" series of shorts became popular again due to the promotion of "New Century"]
[Yes, yes, my mom is also using it, it’s really a bit addictive]
[My downstairs aunt also thought Bo Mi was a cute boy, so she was also inspired to vote.]
[Bo Mi's appearance is very deceptive, and he's still young, so his fan base of moms and sisters is beyond imagination. These rich women have a lot of money to spend on marketing.]
[I'm speechless. Some people are really blind these days. Why would they vote for someone who's both good at singing and dancing?]
[What do you care if we like you?]
Min Hai and Da Pei were a little surprised by their rankings, but they were not too upset. After all, Da Pei was optimistic by nature and Min Hai had let go of some of his worries because of Fu Xunyan's previous guidance.
Minhae gave a sincere speech, but Dalbae was laughing and making everyone laugh.
"So it turns out Dorm 204 is really lucky," Dabae said with a smile. "Everyone has improved by more than ten places. I'm actually holding our dorm back."
This is true. Although Fu Xunyan's ranking is unknown, he has definitely improved by more than 30 places. Among the four, only Da Pei only improved by ten places because he released several rap songs during his trainee period and had some popularity before the competition.
But then something unexpected happened.
Da Pei was about to return the microphone to Jiang Sulin obediently, but suddenly seemed to remember something and rushed back.
"Come on, treasure hunter! You're the only one missing!"
"Oh no, you should come later, be the last one."
[…You really love him, and you gave him two of the six sentences in your speech.]
[What's the difference between this and giving him one of the three questions in the [Pick Your Orientation] section? Ah! What's the difference?!]
[The CP of these two people should just be changed to "one-third", this number is always so romantic]
[Wow, such a bold statement! Isn't calling fxy number one just cursing yl for number two?]
[Ye Ma was originally very angry, but when she thought about what kind of guy Da Pei was, she calmed down.]
[You don't want to argue with a fool, right? No, is Dal-bae a fool or a smart one?]
[I think he actually knows everything, but he is very direct in interpersonal relationships. He doesn't hide anything from those who are close to him.]
[That's not right, isn't he afraid that Ye Ma will attack him?]
[The one who lost money has already apologized. LOL. The screen is full of "Sorry, my son just loves treasure hunting too much."]
How can this not be a friendship for you against the world, doge?
[Sorry for the mother who paid the money, a fully automatic apology machine]
But no one expected that Yin Xingheng, who came on stage later, would drop a bomb.
"Thank you to everyone who has liked me for the past four years, and thank you to everyone who has just liked me. I will continue to work hard with your expectations!"
The mediocre speech was completely unable to offset the impact of Da Pei's last explosive speech.
But at this moment, Yin Xingheng took a deep breath, and the trainees below looked at him with their eyes becoming brighter and brighter, staring at a place under the stage.
The director had a bad feeling. As a level 10 online surfer, he had just witnessed the plight of Mai Fan, a contestant on the show "Go Forward." Even more terrifying was the revelation that one of the couple was actually having an affair.
As a result, "Go Forward" has been posted online for a whole day, and the situation is getting worse.
Chief Director Shen Ziqing reminded us at the last meeting that we must pay attention to the boundaries of hyping friendships. We can sell them, but we must never sell them openly.
The director kept this commandment in mind.
He paid more attention to Yin Xingheng and knew that he had an unreasonable preference for Fu Xunyan. He was the first one to talk to Fu Xunyan on the first stage, and later made shocking remarks such as "It's a pity that we are not in the same dormitory" and "We must be together in the next public performance."
Won't……
No way! ?
The director was horrified and suddenly got goosebumps. If Yin Xingheng confessed her feelings to Fu Xunyan again, it would be the end of her.
He always trusted his intuition and reached out to manually turn off Yin Xingheng's microphone.
However, the boy on the stage moved very quickly. He picked up the microphone and spoke loudly with the overwhelming voice pressure of his professional vocals.
"Treasure Hunt I love your (song) so much!"
The first six words kept floating and circling above the studio, but the last word could only be heard by a small number of people because of the untimely mute of the microphone.
The room was completely silent, and the live broadcast room suddenly went blank.
