The first part is a collaborative stage with the mentors, and they also perform their own repertoire.
"In addition to our five mentors, there will also be a surprise guest. There will be six stages in total, and each stage will feature six trainees. First, you will select your intended mentors and submit your applications to us. We will then make the selection after consultation. Trainees who are not selected will forfeit the right to choose, and we mentors will make the selection. Any questions?"
Luo Chen spoke such a long speech in one breath that he had to drink a sip of water in the middle.
"Instructor Luo," Xiaolei raised her hand and continued asking, "Didn't you say at the beginning that only 18 trainees would be able to compete in the finals? Then aren't these six performances also for the finals?"
"All 36 of you can appear in the first part, but the subsequent stages will only be for the 18 trainees who advance. Also, the cheering channels for the eliminated trainees will not be opened."
This news is actually good news for everyone. Even if they fail to advance, they still have the opportunity to perform in the finals. Compared with previous similar talent shows, this competition system is already very conscientious.
"Okay, since there are no more questions, let me introduce the six mentors and their repertoire. As for the rest of the finals, I'll introduce them after the recording of the elimination rounds next week."
"Oh my god," Tang Yue whispered to Wang Xingrui, "That means there are still two stages left, and we only have five days to prepare."
After hearing Tang Yue's words, Luo Chen smiled and said, "Time is indeed tight, but this is the only way to unleash your potential, right? After all, you will be artists after your debut, and there will be more and more tests in the future."
After Luo Chen finished introducing the six songs, he left the classroom, leaving time for the trainees to choose their mentors.
"Tangtang, who are you going to choose?" Su Yin asked curiously.
"The styles of the six songs this time are all different," Chu Tianjiao joined in after hearing their conversation: "I suggest everyone choose a style of music that you rarely come into contact with."
Lin Xuan'er agreed, "Yes, this should be the best opportunity to break through myself. I decided to choose Teacher Jin's song. This song has ethnic elements, which I haven't tried before."
"Then I'll choose Mr. Luo's song." Wang Xingrui also made her choice: "Psychedelic electronic music. I love his demo so much."
"I think Teacher Qiqi's song is very good, very heartwarming." Su Yin thought that her ability was average, and it was better to perform steadily than to break through herself. "And it's not too difficult."
"Then I'll choose the mysterious mentor's song. Although there is no vocals, the style of the song is quite interesting, a fresh and electronic style." Tang Yue made the decision.
After the trainees made their choices, they quickly dropped their business cards into the mentor's box.
By the time Zhou Yiyang found out about this, it was already the next night. However, even he couldn't find out from them who their co-instructors were or what the piece was.
As the program reaches its final stage, confidentiality measures are becoming increasingly strict.
Nowadays, Zhou Yiyang can see all kinds of so-called "internal lists" and other spoilers whenever he goes online.
But what comforted him was that almost all the self-directed and self-acted spoilers counted Bai Yueguang's four people in the debut position. So, it seemed that these four people were really the ones that everyone expected!
"You guys have a party on Saturday?"
On Friday night, Zhou Yiyang had planned to share tips for a reality show they were taping on Sunday. But before he even had a chance to speak, all he heard was complaints.
"Yeah." It was Tang Yue who answered the phone. She was such a beauty-conscious person, but now, exhausted every day, she'd just fall asleep as soon as she got to the dorm, even forgetting to apply her skincare products. She was filled with resentment: "We still have to prepare for the party. We have to practice our performances, prepare for the party, and then we have to record a variety show on Sunday. I can't be there twice!"
I could hear the other three people nearby agreeing with me.
Zhou Yiyangguang could sense the pressure from listening to them. "I know you're tired, and you barely have time to relax every day. But this is normal for an artist."
After your debut, commercials, variety shows, filming, music festivals, various live performances, and interviews will all come one after another. You might even be busier than you are now.
If you have less time, you might start to panic and wonder if you're out of fashion. You know, money is easy to make in the entertainment industry, so learn to accept it and enjoy it all."
"Brother Yang, why do you only know how to give me chicken soup?" The person who answered the phone was Su Yin.
"Because I don't have anything else to help you with except chicken soup. I can only say that after the finals, I will give you a break so you can have a good rest for a few days."
"How many days?" Su Yin was about to cry.
"Yeah, if it takes any longer, it's not me who doesn't want to, it's Jiang Xiaoliang. You haven't forgotten that he still wants to make a movie for you, right? And who knows if there will be a reality show looking for you guys by then!"
The four girls had no choice but to accept the reality and think on the bright side. How many people want to be so busy but don’t have the chance!
Zhou Yiyang thought for a moment before speaking: "For this reality show, just follow your feelings. Don't overthink it. Just treat it as a chance to relax between competitions. The production team will edit out the bad parts anyway, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yiyang took out WeChat and turned down several interviews he had been interested in.
After all, he is not a devil!
"But what Brother Yang said actually makes sense," Wang Xingrui said. She's always believed that hard work pays off. "The busier we are, the more popular we become. Did you see Weibo? After 'Role Play' officially announced us as the next guest, so many fans of debut artists were upset!"
"Actually," Tang Yue whispered, "Our rap instructors have never been on 'Role Play,' so we're really awesome!"
"Besides, collaborating on stage with the instructors wasn't that tiring at all." Su Yin's mood also calmed down. "Also, Instructor Qiqi's team is really strong. The dance she choreographed for us is much more professional than the one produced by the program."
“Teacher Luo is also good,” Wang Xingrui said. “He dances really well.”
"As for the party," Lin Xuan'er asked, sitting on the floor, "How about the four of us put on a show? Do you have any good ideas?"
"Crosstalk?" Su Yin was rejected as soon as she said it.
"Just do a casual dance. It's just for fun, don't take it too seriously." Tang Yue suggested: "Perform 'Youth' once. We haven't performed it on the show yet."
