The eliminated students said goodbye to their friends, packed their bags and left the Dream Base on the bus, ending this unforgettable journey. The remaining 64 students will continue to face the challenge of the next stage, which is the second performance task to be released soon.
In the training hall, Pan Li announced the content of the second performance to the 64 students who had gathered: "The second performance is for professional assessment, namely the vocal group and the dance group. The program team has prepared four vocal performances and four dance performances for everyone. All students, please choose your assessment direction according to your interests and specialties."
Except for a few students like He Xizhou who can sing and dance, most students have their own shortcomings, either bad vocals or bad dancing. The songs given in the first public performance are mostly a combination of singing and dancing, and the two parts are very evenly matched. The second public performance is the same. Since it is a professional assessment, the purpose is very clear - to highlight your strengths and advantages and provide you with a stage to show your shining points.
For most students, this is an excellent opportunity to catch up and turn the tide.
"Great, I finally have time to practice vocals... I'm going to join the dance group!"
"I'm the opposite of you. Dancing kills me. This time I can finally sing a song in peace!"
The students began to discuss which group they would join. In Class A, Xu Qiongzhi happily grabbed Ye Ying's arm and said, "That's great! Yingying, you can show off your vocal skills to your heart's content!"
He Xizhou also nodded: "You can handle both lyrical and passionate songs. Listen to the demo later and choose the one with strong appeal."
Everyone seemed to agree that he should join the vocal group.
Ye Ying did not hesitate this time and said, "I will choose the dance group."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and the next moment they all turned to look at him.
"... Really, Brother Xiaoye?" Luo Zihui almost dropped his jaw in shock. "With such a good opportunity, why did you choose the vocal group? What a great advantage!"
Qiu Shuang was also surprised: "Although your dancing skills have improved rapidly, everyone will choose the direction they are good at in this performance. If you choose dancing, you will be at a disadvantage."
"Besides, since this is a professional assessment, the dance must be very difficult. It will be exhausting to learn it!" Xu Qiongzhi couldn't help but worry about him, "Yingying, you just recovered from your last injury, why are you looking for trouble again!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at He Xizhou. He knew why, but he subconsciously felt that Ye Ying would listen to He Xizhou.
He Xizhou didn't rush to deny it, but looked at Ye Ying and said, "It will be difficult to select a dance group, more difficult than any you have encountered before - are you sure?"
"Yes." Ye Ying's voice was steady. "Are you telling me that trying new things will become addictive?"
He Xizhou looked at him, his eyes and eyebrows showing his thoughts bit by bit: "Okay."
Seeing that the two of them had come to an agreement after a few words, everyone else was dumbfounded. Xu Qiongzhi was a little confused, so she couldn't help but ask, "Yingying, why? If you choose vocal, no one can beat you..."
He didn't believe in Ye Ying's ability. Even if it was dancing, Ye Ying had already proved that he could do it well. He just felt very sorry and regretful. Ye Ying's singing was so amazing, and it was almost a sure win to choose the vocal group, but he gave up this opportunity so easily and chose another risky path.
"I used to like singing, but now I find dancing is also very interesting." Ye Ying said gently, "Besides, it is said that pressure can stimulate a person's potential. Maybe I just want to be willful for once and challenge my ability."
Xu Qiongzhi was stunned for a moment, revealing a thoughtful expression.
"I think everyone has made their choice, right?" Pan Li said, "Okay, let me show you eight songs."
First, there were four vocal pieces, one of which was an English ballad. The performance clip was very ethereal and healing, almost giving a feeling of purifying the soul. Many students still remembered the song "Light in the Cracks" that Ye Ying sang during his first performance on stage. They couldn't help but look back at him secretly, feeling that this song was tailor-made for him.
There is also another song "Ruler" which is memorable, with a strong style and full of wildness. The short sample clip made people excited, and many students were tempted.
Then there were four dance tracks. As Ye Ying watched, she was attracted by one of them. The dancers' movements were indescribably elegant and graceful. Although they were as cool and explosive as "lemonbomb", they had a strange charm, like a slender and charming figure with a veil, which aroused all curiosity and desire, making people chase after her footsteps involuntarily and want to find out more.
Ye Ying's gaze shifted to the name of the dance music - "Charming Eyes".
After the eight performances were finished, Pan Li signaled the students to start choosing: "For the second public performance, we will still choose songs according to the popularity rankings as in the first public performance; the top eight will be the center of the eight songs by default. If more than one student in the top eight chooses a song, the center will be taken by the student with the highest ranking. There is a limited number of people on the target board for each song. When the team is full, the students behind can join."
"Ah..." A student from Class F showed a look of toothache, "That means I can go to the dance group if I want to! If all four dance teams are full, I can only go to the vocal group! Oh my god!"
"I don't even have a choice when I'm at the back..." His companion said bitterly, "This is a cruel reality."
"Wait a minute, the top eight are all C positions? So those at the back also have a chance to be C?"
"What are you thinking? How could you? The center position is so important, there's still time to grab it, and the ones in front are stupid, how can you give up such a good opportunity?"
"Okay, everyone understands the rules, right?" Pan Li looked at He Xizhou, "Then let He Xizhou, number one, start the selection."
He Xizhou left his position, walked towards the sign erected in the open space in front, and then stood behind "Ruler".
When the students saw his choice, they all exclaimed:
"Holy crap? He actually chose the vocal group??"
"Although He Ge is an all-rounder, I think he's better at dancing. At least he's absolutely invincible in the camp. How come he didn't join the dance group? This is science!!"
Amidst the astonishment, Pan Li asked what everyone was thinking: "Xizhou, you seem to be suitable for the dance group, why did you choose vocal music?"
He Xizhou stood behind the signboard nonchalantly: "There are too many first place awards in dance, it's meaningless."
Students: “…”
Did you say that?
"Besides that, I like this song." As if sensing the public's raging anger, He Xizhou condescended to add.
Pan Li nodded and turned to Ye Ying: "Second place winner Ye Ying, please choose your song."
Students said: "I bet Ye Ying will definitely choose that English song, it suits him very well."
"One, his style in the first public performance is also very cool. I think he will challenge that rap song!"
The students discussed in a low voice, and then watched Ye Ying stand behind the dance group's "Charming Eyes" sign without hesitation.
Everyone again: “???”
What kind of magical development is this?
Pan Li was also surprised: "Why, have you discussed this with He Xizhou? Why are they all so unexpected?"
Ye Ying paused: "That's not the case."
Pan Li: "Then why did you choose the dance group? Like Yigong, do you want to challenge yourself?"
"That's the reason," Ye Ying looked at He Xizhou, who was two signboards away from her. "The other reason is the same as He Ge. I also like this dance."
"Okay, then I look forward to your new breakthrough." Pan Li said, "Third place, Li Jingfei, please choose your song."
The students were frightened twice in a row, thinking that Li Jingfei was going to do something exciting and naughty. As a result, they stared in amazement as Li Jingfei walked straight to the "Ruler" sign and stood behind He Xizhou.
Students: “…”
What the hell!!
There is actually someone who wants the center position!!
Are all of you big guys so willful!?
Pan Li thought this episode was really interesting, and reminded Li Jingfei, "Are you sure you want to choose "The Ruler"? This means you are giving up a center position."
Li Jingfei: "I know."
"Then may I ask why?"
Li Jingfei said two words in a cool voice: "I like it."
Next, Ming Yuechen, who ranked fourth, gave up the center position and chose "Eyes of Love", while Qiu Shuang, who ranked fifth, and Xu Qiongzhi, who ranked seventh, chose a dark style dance. The students below were so shocked that they were numb, and they murmured, "You are a little too willful..."
Although they said so, they couldn't help but admire him. Whether it was giving up their absolute advantage to challenge a risky field, or giving up the center position that was easily within their grasp just to choose the song they liked, how many people on the scene could be so fearless and unrestrained?
It’s too fierce. It’s really too fierce.
Yes, that’s quite courageous!

While the students of Dream Camp began to prepare for the second public performance, the fans online were still reminiscing about the wonderful first public performance. In Ye Ying’s fan group, the Rose sisters were watching the live video while wailing in boredom:
[Why is it only Tuesday today? There are still four days before we can see fresh puppies!]
[I am already weak without any sucking, like a salted fish.jpg]
[Can the program team show some behind-the-scenes footage? Quq misses Yingying so much woo woo woo]
When everyone was crying together, a fan suddenly sent a message in panic:
[Dear friends, have you seen the trending searches on Weibo? I just saw one about Yingying, and the content looks so good...]
Bai Yuanyuan is the owner of the fan group. She was shocked when she saw the news. She immediately went to Weibo to search for hot topics and saw that the second and fourth place entries were #叶盈#.
Bai Yuanyuan suddenly had a foreboding feeling. In the past, when Ye Ying was on the hot search list, it was followed by words like "goddess vocal" and "beautiful appearance", but this time, there was only one name, hanging alone on the hot search list.
Based on her experience in chasing stars, this is often a good sign.
Her fingers felt a little cold, and she gently clicked on the trending search.
[Insider gossip v: Recently, Ye Ying, a new student of "Dream Maker", has become popular.
