Chapter 186

Day 7 of recording schedule for "Apron boy＆Spoon Girl" and "5 Centimeters Away from You".

8:00 PM

"The notice for tomorrow's date has arrived."

When the six people gathered in the living room again, the program team sent a new notification letter.

"It's always this pink envelope." Yicun Ransu took the envelope from the staff and complained as he opened it, "But why is it different this time?"

"It's not fun to guess the location every time." Sitting on the sofa, Mifuki Lan closed the script in her hand and looked at the pink envelope in Yicun Ransu's hand. "However, since we have chosen to announce it when everyone is present, then this time it shouldn't be a two-in-two mode. And, considering the current weather..."

"Also, considering the needs of the show, it's impossible to have the same three pairs from the beginning to the end."

"But, since I said at the beginning that there is no script to use..." Kitaoji Sakura blinked.

"It's just that we won't forcibly disband the group." Maki Nishikino leaned against the railing of the stairs with her arms folded across her chest. "After all, the process is fixed, and what kind of results we can get depends on ourselves - just like the detective reasoning in "This is just basic reasoning "Elementary"."

"So, what's the date for tomorrow?"

At the same time, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others who were supposed to be keeping an eye on the progress of the filming were not in the director's room on the other side, but returned to Chaldea - even Colles, who was almost relying on Leonardo da Vinci's special energy potion to survive, got a rare break and was eating a steaming midnight snack in the cafeteria with his classmates in the El-Melloi classroom.

"The meeting is still half an hour away, so don't eat so quickly." Wei Gong, who was standing inside the kitchen counter, glanced at the clock hanging on the cafeteria wall and sighed helplessly at Coles, who was trying hard to stuff his midnight snack into his mouth while replying to messages in the chat room. "And in fact, it's nothing for most members to be absent from the meeting to formulate the battle plan."

"It is still necessary to go to this meeting." El-Melloi II, who was sitting opposite Leness, said, "After all, this is not a Holy Grail War that can be won by force. On this basis, strategies are necessary to prepare for victory - don't forget that our mission is to completely separate all the worlds that have merged from this singularity."

"And the prerequisite for obtaining the Holy Grail in the Holy Grail Concert is a large number of idol elements." Lenis took a sip of black tea. "Although we have actively participated in many tasks after coming to the special point - but our accumulation is still not as good as that of idols in other worlds. So -"

"...We need a suitable plan to send the final executor of this mission to the finals of the Holy Grail Concert." Fujimaru Ritsuka stood on the podium in the large conference room, showing slides while speaking, "The task of leaving other worlds itself is still left to Senior Kirshtalia."

"That is, there are three issues we need to consider - should Kirshtalia go up alone or bring other members with her? Also, how to win the next concert showdown and advance to the finals... and how to reduce losses and ensure the safety of the idols in other worlds."

"So, based on this, let's take a look at the final plan for the joint concert that was completed in the producer's meeting."

In this plan, just like the thirteen subjects under the clock tower, the name of the joint concert also includes large-scale competitions from various worlds - Love Live, Star Queen Cup, Best Partner Cup, Prince of Songs Award, Mangekyou Award, Division Rap Battle (now called: Idol Song Battle).

Although the name of the project originally proposed by Bikan Hehuan was not used as the title of the joint concert, Division Rap Battle was still renamed in this project - although it is a large-scale competition in each world, due to the characteristics of each world itself, the gender concentration of the participants in these competitions is completely different.

After Love Live, Queen of Starlight Cup, and Best Partner Cup successively took over the competition scope for female idols, the Prince of Songs Award also took over the competition scope for male idol groups. The Mangekyou Awards is not included in the singing and dancing category because its nature is closer to various film festival awards.

So, with the Animusphia Office documents in hand, Fujimaru Ritsuka argued with him...

The Division Rap Battle became the Idol Song Battle - it became the only competition where anyone, whether a single person or a group, even if the group members are both male and female, can perform on stage as long as they can sing.

——Only the groups from the original world will be on stage and the competition will still be in the Rap Battle format.

"The Starlight Queen Cup is a female idol singles competition - strictly speaking, it is closer to a ring match." Fujimaru Ritsuka cut out the slides of information provided by Starlight Academy to introduce to everyone, "All idols go through several rounds of competition, and at the end there is only one left to compete with the winner of the previous round, the current Starlight Queen - this is the original competition system."

"This time, considering the expansion of the scope of participants, Starlight Academy has made some slight adjustments--"

"The number of Starlight Queens on the defending side has increased. In addition to the current Starlight Queen, all idols who have served as Starlight Queens in the past have been added to the unique points. Here are their information."

Best Partner Cup: Only two-member female idol groups can participate, and the group with the most popular performance will win.

After the Starlight Queen Cup covered the competition range of female single idols, and the Best Partner Cup excluded groups of more than two people from the competition range - Love Live changed from a competition limited to campus idols to a group competition covering female groups of more than two people.

"Love Live is an elimination competition. Each performance has a corresponding opponent. Only by winning all the way to the end can you qualify for the semi-finals of the United Concert - if you lose just one performance, all your efforts will be forfeited."

"Next is the Blossom Award."

"The Kaleidoscope Award - although it is said to be like a film festival, since it is also part of this joint concert, it means that not all members who have won awards can enter the semi-finals." Fujimaru Ritsuka grabbed the pointer and pointed at the Kaleidoscope Award categories. "The promotion rules for the Kaleidoscope Award are based on the final number of awards - even if the troupe is fully opened, it has to be calculated separately for the four groups of spring, summer, autumn and winter."

"By the way, the scope of the Kaleidoscope Awards has expanded from the original stage plays, so other agencies have also submitted TV drama and movie discs as award selection materials - of course, I also submitted the materials I submitted for the mystery TV series at that time. However, stage plays will be arranged for live performances - so the Kaleidoscope Awards competition schedule is also the longest among them."

Uta Prince Award - Although there is no limit on the number of participants like the Best Partner Cup, the competition rules are the same; at the same time, the restriction that only male idol groups that debuted within one year were allowed to participate was also cancelled.

Finally, there is the Idol Song Battle, which can be considered all-encompassing. In addition to meeting the requirements for the appearance of the Animusphia Agency idols, it also serves as a solo battlefield for male idols, so this will become the most intense stage for competition. After all, the number of places that can enter the semi-finals is fixed.

"Our AMP48 and most of its subordinate teams will enter the ISB region, and a small number will go to the other five - it is allowed to register for other regions in the name of an individual or a non-original group, and it is also allowed to register on the spot. However, since Love Life is a knockout tournament, after registering, you must at least beat the previously eliminated group in order to be included in the competition list."

"Has the specific match schedule been announced?" asked Marysbury, who was sitting at the top.

"Already have." Fujimaru Ritsuka switched to the corresponding slides and pointed at the dates of each competition with his pointer. "The first one to start is the Idol Song Battle, followed by the Love Live, and the third one to start is the Mangekyou Awards. Because there may be duplicates in the rank, the team competition is placed first, and the last is the individual competition. If idols who have already advanced in the team competition are qualified for advancement in the individual competition or other subsequent competitions, they will be promoted to the next level."

"After the final six winners emerge, the three groups of qualifiers, Love Live, Queen of Starlight Cup, and Best Partner Cup, will compete in a round-robin tournament to determine the winners who will participate in the final - the same goes for the other side."

"Understood." Lansemello, who was sitting below Marisbury, nodded and asked a new question, "So should we ensure that Kirsch alone or with the new A group can qualify in the Idol Song Battle - or should we consider forming another male group to advance from the Prince of Songs Award?"

"As for me, I should be able to run in all three games in the women's group." Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a moment and replied to Lancer Melo, "I have already discussed the Best Partner Cup with Mash, and I am still discussing the Love Live with Miss Elquet... I have prepared a three-person group, a six-person group, and a nine-person group - if we add more people, it is not impossible to increase it to twelve people...?"

"I refuse to be a candidate for the Twelve." Lancer Melo decisively rejected the glittering look that Fujimaru Ritsuka gave him. "I have already joined with Kazue and the others. If you add more people, you will probably choose them from GOF. It is better to let Kazue go on stage with the name of GOF."

"Well, so I think we should give Kirshtalia-senpai some more appearances." Fujimaru Ritsuka cleared his throat and returned to the topic. "After all, we all know that the so-called TV series produced by the Animusphia Agency was only recorded through Sheba's observation of other worlds - the Atlantic Novel Belt can be broadcast to the Kaleidoscope Awards."

"As for the combination..."

"That depends on what Senior Kirshtalia thinks. After all, what we have the most here is people." Fujimaru Ritsuka put down his teaching stick and smiled at Kirshtalia who was still writing notes. "Even if there are no suitable candidates among the magicians and staff, we still have the entire Heroic Seat to look for people."
