After the show started, the once bustling bar quieted down. Today could be considered a 101 special, and almost everyone who came here to drink was there just to watch the show.
Moreover, many people found that the atmosphere for watching the game in this way was very good. Since all the people here were fans of Bai Yueguang, they had a lot of common topics.
Zhou Yiyang also enjoyed this kind of atmosphere. Compared with last week when he was watching the show alone at home, his nerves were stimulated and excited here.
36 trainees walked into the familiar hall. Now the pyramid that had been there from the beginning was getting shorter and shorter, and there were only 18 chairs waiting for them.
The throne at the top still attracted countless people's attention. When they got here, almost everyone wanted to sit there.
Luo Chen appeared with several mentors. He first told the audience the news of the upcoming mentor collaboration stage.
After the news came out, many people in the bar whistled.
These mentors are all well-known figures in the circle. For these trainees who have not yet debuted, working with them will definitely bring more benefits than disadvantages.
"Brother Yang, do you know which mentors our Bai Yueguang people have chosen?" Someone couldn't help but ask Zhou Yiyang.
But Zhou Yiyang shook his head: "You will know later. If I tell you now, there will be no suspense."
The fact is, Zhou Yiyang actually doesn’t know who their co-mentors are.
Who knew that as soon as Zhou Yiyang finished speaking, the camera suddenly switched to the scene of 36 trainees choosing their mentors.
Everyone was stunned, obviously no one expected this episode to be edited like this.
The people in the bar were okay. Zhou Yiyang glanced at the comments and saw that most of them were curses.
"Is the editor crazy? Announce the rankings first!"
"I came here for the rankings, and in the end I'm shown this?"
"The production team is getting carried away, but the competition is just not strong enough."
If the trainees were watching the live broadcast, they would definitely speak up for their editor. After all, they did choose their co-mentors first, and then went through the qualifying rounds.
However, when the six mentors' collaborative song was released, the controversy in the barrage was instantly drowned out by the flattery of the mentors' fans.
Hu Die stared at the densely packed comments and couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect Luo Chen to be so popular! It's too exaggerated!"
"He's always been popular, and this time as a mentor, he's gained a new wave of fans. But this mysterious mentor, I don't even know him, I didn't expect him to be so popular."
At this time, someone in the bar began to explain to Zhou Yiyang: "I know this guy. He seems to be the male lead of a web drama in the first half of the year. He is very popular. I didn't expect he can sing!"
The six songs were all the mentors' own songs. If Zhou Yiyang used the standards of his previous life to judge, these songs would only be considered ordinary.
But from the perspective of this world, it is already pretty good. It seems that these mentors are quite concerned about this cooperation.
Luo Chen wrote the lyrics for this song himself. It is a psychedelic electronic song and also the one with the most fierce competition.
Everyone knows that most of the trainees are there for Luo Chen's popularity. Maybe some of Luo Chen's trainees supported them because of this song?
In the end, Luo Chen selected six people out of the ten, and the lead singer position was given to Wang Xingrui, and the lead dancer was Shi Feifei.
Qiqi, the only female mentor, is a talented singer and dancer, primarily responsible for livening up the atmosphere. Although she's almost forty, she looks like a young woman in her twenties, and her songs are heartwarming and inspiring. While her position should have been the easiest, she surprisingly had the fewest selections, with only four people choosing her. As a result, four people, including Su Yin, were directly selected, leaving Qiqi to compete with the remaining two positions from the remaining trainees and the remaining mentors whose positions were not filled.
"Holy crap," a man in the bar said in disbelief. "No one chose Qiqi? This song is so good!"
This statement resonated with many people: "Don't these trainees like pretty older sisters?"
"Our little Su is really smart. She chose this song so appropriately."
Hu Die was also puzzled. She looked at Zhou Yiyang expectantly, waiting for an answer. Zhou Yiyang then said, "This song is too easy. Most people want to impress everyone on the finals stage, right? But Su Yin's choice is wise. She doesn't rely on the stage to attract fans, so playing it safe is best."
"Besides, there have been several inspirational songs in the performance, so it's inevitable that people will get tired of it," a guest added.
Mr. Jin was their dance instructor. Although he was a man, his body was more flexible than most women's, and he also had a background in folk dance. He was previously unknown, but after participating in 101, he now had a significant fan base. Zhou Yiyang had heard that he had even landed the lead role in a TV series.
This shows that the mentor is the one who is guaranteed to make money by participating in talent shows. If someone invites him in the future, he will not refuse.
This time, Teacher Jin's song is a song with ethnic elements. The prelude is very magnificent, and it is also the song that Zhou Yiyang is most looking forward to.
However, even the audience can imagine that this stage will be extremely difficult, so not many trainees choose it.
In the end, Lin Xuaner and Tian Xiaohua both joined this group.
"Xiaohua, why did you choose it?" Lin Xuaner asked curiously.
"I originally wanted to go to Mr. Luo's place, but then I asked and found out the competition was too fierce, so I came here. And I also wanted to try the ethnic style."
The rap instructor's song is very personal, and I didn't expect Chu Tianjiao to choose it. However, the hook (the hook of a song) is very good, and the instructor will probably give it to Chu Tianjiao.
Apart from Luo Chen, the most popular instructor is the vocal instructor. Zhou Yiyang thinks his song is quite ordinary, but the live effect should be good, so Xiaolei was selected into this group.
Tang Yue easily won the selection for the mysterious mentor's fresh electronic song. Zhou Yiyang, however, was a little concerned about the mysterious mentor's singing ability; he was just an actor, after all. Furthermore, the fans of these popular actors were terrifying. If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have let Tang Yue choose this song.
Judging from the members, the strongest performances should be those by Luo Chen and vocal mentor. However, before the finals, no one could have predicted what the performance would be like.
After the list of participants for the collaboration stage was announced, the focus finally returned to the elimination round.
Although all the trainees here have a collaborative stage, only the top 18 can advance to the finals. The fans held their breath and became nervous.
"First, I'll announce the rankings for 11th to 17th." Luo Chen paused. "By the way, I'll share a piece of information: the difference between 9th and 14th is currently no more than 100,000, so trainees in this bracket shouldn't be discouraged."
