As Shen Chengyu said, the third episode of "The Birth of Idols" adopted a group confrontation mode.

The trainees were divided into 16 teams, resulting in eight control groups.

"The selection criteria for the sixteen captains mainly include two aspects. Eight are based on hard work, and eight are based on ability."

As soon as Shen Chengyu finished speaking, Qin Kewei continued, "The ability group is basically composed of students currently in Class A. As for the hard work group - everyone can think about their own practice time and guess whether they have the possibility of becoming captain."

"Ahhhh, it turns out that if you practice for a long time, you can also have the opportunity to become captain! I regret it so much. I feel like I haven't practiced much more than others." "

I feel like Wu Yuanhang should be selected. It seems that every time I see him, he is in the dance studio!"

"It seems that I have practiced for a lot of time too. I wonder if I can become captain..."

Everyone looked at each other, estimating who had longer practice results.

"Elect the captain based on the contact time?" He Xinghua's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he couldn't help but say to his teammates, "Ahhhh, in that case, the four of us should all be captains!"

F4 loves the stage enough, and they are souls that don't need rest. Whenever they have time, they will go to the dance studio to dance. It's not too much for them to want a captain position.

Soon, Gu Wen'an came out and announced the list of eight hardworking captains: "The first hardworking captain came to Class F. From the time he moved into our apartment to now, all his time added up to more than 70 hours!"

"Oh my god, 70 hours, that's incredible!"

"The first captain is actually from Class F, but I don't know who it is."

"So talent is very important, he works so hard but still ranks in Class F..."

"Hey, buddy, you'll get beaten for being so honest, okay?"

The trainees looked at each other, waiting for Gu Chang'an to announce who will be the captain from Class A.

Gu Wen'an also heard the discussion just now. He didn't rush to announce the list, but instead looked at everyone with a gloomy face: "Do you really think hard work is useless?"

"No!"

"It's useful!"

"Not necessarily!"

The trainees below were silent for a moment, and then expressed their opinions in twos and threes.

Most people said it was unimportant, but some people quietly insisted on their own opinions.

Gu Wen'an waited until they had finished talking, and then continued: "Indeed, many people may not be able to become the best after hard work. But have you ever thought that hard work may not necessarily lead to success, but it will definitely be rewarding. I think whether you are a trainee or an idol, the spirit of hard work is indispensable. One day you will understand that what can support you to keep going must be what you have always insisted on."

After Gu Wen'an finished speaking, he cleared his throat and said: "Yao Yulong, congratulations on becoming the hardworking captain."

"Oh my God, Yulong, congratulations!"

The trainees around him turned around and congratulated him when they heard his name. It would be a lie to say they were not jealous.

"Thank you, everyone." Yao Yulong himself couldn't believe it, and covered his mouth in surprise.

Gu Wen'an waved him to the front, and said encouragingly: "You have practiced for 70 hours in total. What makes you work so hard?"

Yao Yulong walked out of Class F, his face flushed and his expression shy. He was not tall, and his appearance could only be described as delicate. He was the kind of person who could not be found among the trainees at first glance.

He took the microphone from Gu Wen'an and looked down at the ground unconsciously. He was obviously not used to being watched by so many people: "I didn't think too much about it. I just felt that I finally had such a stage and such an opportunity, and I wanted to cherish it. Our company is very small and the business situation has not been very good recently. Maybe this is my last chance..."

Yao Yulong's eyes turned red as he spoke, and he felt a little sad: "I have average looks and average abilities, but I also have my own musical dream. I never thought that I must stay until the end or anything. I just think that as long as I am here, I will work hard. In this way, even if the day I leave really comes, I will have no regrets..."

Only by trying your best can you live up to your long-term dedication and hard work.

Lu Xu raised his hand to applaud him, and soon there was applause all around.

In Lu Xu's view, Yao Yulong is an ordinary boy, but he is also an extremely shining existence.

He clearly knows that he is ordinary, and he also clearly knows that he is extraordinary. He also has dreams and is working hard for them. Even if the final result may not be satisfactory, that is something to worry about later.

"Heh." A sneer came from the side. Lu Xu turned his head and saw Lan Gaojie with annoyance on his face. He obviously didn't like Yao Yulong very much. "Do you think that hard work alone is enough? It's really ridiculous to be so childish at such a age."

His voice was not small, and almost all the trainees in Class A could hear it.

"It's almost enough. People's hard work deserves respect. Is it necessary to be so sarcastic?" Xu Haoming couldn't stand him and couldn't help but say something.

Lan Gaojie was not to be outdone and rolled his eyes at him: "You are a young master who knows nothing, so can you please say less?"

F4 felt a little uncomfortable. This man not only looks average but also has bad character.

Ji Xiunian glanced over when he heard the noise.

His pressure was too strong, and several people subconsciously stopped arguing, like obedient students caught by the class teacher.

Gu Wen'an continued to read out the list of names: "The second hard-working captain is from Class C, and has accumulated fifty hours of practice alone!"

"Class C, it can't be me?"

"Have some shame, you got those fifty hours in your dreams while sleeping in the dormitory every day?"

"I think I know who it is, it's Brother Siyuan..."

The people here had just finished their predictions when Gu Wen'an gave a hint: "He got an A in the initial assessment, but fell to C in the second assessment. But he is not discouraged, he said that sooner or later he would return to Class A with his own efforts... Chai Siyuan, congratulations on becoming the second hard-working captain!"

"Wow, I guessed right, it was him!

"Congratulations, Brother Yuan!"

"You usually chat with us, but you work hard behind our backs. You're great! "

...

Compared to Yao Yulong, Chai Siyuan is more outgoing and has better interpersonal relationships.

Everyone was joking, but they were really happy for him.

"You know, dancing is my worst thing. I fell down in front of the dance and went from A to C." Chai Siyuan couldn't help but smile when he said this, as if he was feeling sorry for himself. But before everyone could comfort him, he changed the subject and laughed again, "But it was precisely because I didn't have a good foundation in dancing that I practiced hard, and as a result, I got the title of hardworking captain. So, shortcomings are stepping stones on our road to success, but as long as we work hard enough, stepping stones can also evolve into the cornerstone of success!"

This was beautifully said, and there was continuous applause.

Before leaving the stage, Chai Siyuan added: "Of course, if I can choose, I hope to become the captain because of my ability."

"Brother Yuan, you have a nice idea, but to be honest, I also want to hahaha..."

The audience laughed and the atmosphere was very good.

Gu Wen'an continued to announce the hardworking captains: "Wu Yuanhang... Shen Xueyi... Zhou Yu..."

Five minutes later, seven of the eight hardworking captains were announced. Gu Wen'an couldn't help but stop for a moment: "Guess who the last hardworking captain will be?"

"I don't know, I guess it's from Class B."

"I feel it should be Class F. After all, it's more like a control group when put together with the ability group."

"Anyway, no matter who it is, it's impossible to be in Group A. After all, Group A is full of seed players..."

Everyone guessed, but no one got the correct answer.

Gu Wen'an couldn't help but smile and shake his head when he saw this, and casually handed the microphone to Ji Xiunian: "Brother Nian, this is your fan, so it's better for you to announce it."

"Fan? It can't be the one I'm thinking of..." "Does

Class A also have a hard-working captain? Oh my god!"

Whenever Ji Xiunian's fans were mentioned, everyone instantly thought of a person.

Sure enough, Ji Xiunian glanced at the list, then curled his lips: "Lu Xu, congratulations on becoming the eighth hardworking captain!"

"Fuck, it's really Brother Xu."

"I'm already A and I can still get the hardworking captain. I suddenly feel that I should reflect on myself."

"Isn't this the old saying, people who are better than you are still working hard."

"Brother Xu is so talented and works so hard. It's unjust if he doesn't succeed!"

...

Lu Xu is obviously very popular among the trainees. Even if he just smiled and didn't say anything, there are still a group of people cheering for him.

"In fact, I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to become the hardworking captain. After all, I firmly believe that there will always be someone who works harder than us in the enemy we can't see." When Lu Xu said this, he deliberately glanced at the A area, as if it was inadvertent.

But for F4, this is affirmation, this is the love of the God of Death for them!

"Wow wow wow, Master Lu Xu is indeed the best!"'

"Our efforts have not been in vain, Master has seen it all!"

"Ahhhhh, I'll be your fan for ten thousand years!"

F4 was so happy that they whispered all kinds of praise to each other while holding their heads high and going to the hard work captain area.

Ji Xiunian couldn't help but glance over there and secretly gave them a thumbs up.

F4 was so happy to be affirmed by the two most respected people in succession.

After announcing the hard work captain, the ability captain candidates were announced.

At this time, there were still six people left in Class A, plus two dark horses in Class B, so the eight ability captains were decided.

Ji Xiunian came up and announced the eight ability captains, and then said the first rule: "Now our sixteen captains are standing there, everyone can choose the captain in order, six people per team..."

This grouping means that they are about to perform their first performance on the stage.

The more powerful the captains are, the more points they will get.

That is why the ability captains are the most popular, in other words, the hardworking captains have become the last choice. However,

there are exceptions to everything. Lan Gaojie's team in the ability team was the last to be full.

On the hardworking group side, Lu Xu's team was the first to grow and complete.

Seeing that it was time to draw lots to select opponents, Lu Xu opened the number and label of the group he drew and couldn't help but smile -

four groups, and the opponent to PK is Lan Gaojie's team.

Interesting.

Lu Xu did not have much objection to this result, he just accepted it calmly.

To be honest, the happiest trainees at this moment are his teammates.

I know that Lu Xu is very capable and popular, so it will be no problem to be in the same group with him

. Xu Lele was the first one to choose Lu Xu, because of his male god aura and friendship.

"Brother Xu, Brother Xu, I am really super happy!"

He smiled brightly, showing his two little tiger teeth, looking sweet and worry-free.

"I'm happy too." Lu Xu looked at him and then at his teammates, then greeted them politely, "Let's work hard together in the next few days. After all, we are the hard-working team, right?" "

Hahaha, that's right, the hard-working team will never admit defeat!"

"By the way, what name should we give it? I always feel that it should be louder to match our momentum."

Naming the team is a hassle. Just when they were collectively lost in thought, Xu Lele suddenly raised his hand and said, "Why don't we call ourselves the head harvester, the kind that attracts fans online."

"Same head harvester, why does it sound so bloody."

"That's right, a good idol drama instantly turned into a horror movie, I refuse!"

"The harvester feels a bit rustic, not even as cute as the excavator."

Because of the collective opposition of his teammates, Xu Lele's "harvester" was not approved in the end.

He sighed, and then said to Lu Xu: "Brother Xu, you are the captain, so you come up with the name."

Lu Xu never thought that one day he would have to name the team.

He thought about it, and after a little thought, he said: "How about calling it the Hard Work Squad?"

It's just a very ordinary name, but it sounds like it's plated with gold when it comes out of Lu Xu's mouth.

The team members nodded in approval and agreed with a smile——

"Okay, okay, it's concise and to the point, fresh and not pretentious, hahaha..."

"Brother Xu's naming skills are amazing, he deserves to be our captain!"

"What?" Xu Lele was confused online, the so-called "hard-working team" is not as fashionable as the "head-harvesting machine".

But after Lu Xu said it, no one had any objections, so it was finally decided.

After the team composition and the name were determined, the next step was to wait for the draw to select the program to rehearse.

When coming out of the dance studio, Xu Lele kept following Lu Xu and laughing, obviously very happy that they were in the same team.

"Brother Xu, Brother Xu, I have an important news to tell you--"

He deliberately dragged out the tail tone, obviously waiting for Lu Xu to ask.

The F4 members immediately came up curiously, wanting to hear what the secret was.

Lu Xu also cooperated, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What news?"

Xu Lele looked back and made sure that no one heard him before whispering to Lu Xu: "Do you know why we are not drawing lots or practicing tonight?"

Lu Xu shook his head: "I don't know."

"Brother Xu, let me tell you, didn't Brother Fan look for Brother Nian in the morning? Not long after Brother Nian came out, he contacted someone, and you will never guess what that person does."

After he said this, Lu Xu immediately thought of the Master Lai that Ji Xiunian mentioned.

As expected, Xu Lele then continued to reveal: "Brother Fan invited a very popular master of metaphysics recently. Brother Xu, do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?"

Xu Lele lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "It means that there is really a ghost in the apartment!"
