The first group to perform were several contestants with decent overall strength. Like Xu Dongyou's group, they all chose singing and dancing, each playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, and the final result was pretty good.
The judges all gave pretty good scores, and then the host interviewed the group one by one, talked about the daily training, and finally let them return to their seats.
The next group to appear was Li Ge's group. Although Li Ge was excellent in all aspects, there was a poor choice among them, which almost dragged down everyone else and disrupted the rhythm.
Thanks to Li Ge's timely rescue, the rhythm was finally found. After the group of young people finished the dance bravely, they couldn't help but shed tears.
Especially the boy who caused all this, he kept bowing and apologizing to all the team members because of his guilt, and the others quickly supported him and said it was okay.
Although they were angry, they knew that this choice was not intentional, and they did not want to appear petty in front of the camera, so it was better to forgive the other party.
The host did some comforting and interviewing as usual, and finally asked the judges to give the scores. Although there was a small mistake, they immediately recovered and finished the whole dance with strength, so they were given one point for encouragement, but the total score was not very high.
The next few teams came on stage one after another, and the program crew seemed to intentionally let Xu Dongyou's team dominate the show.
The second to last team to come out was Yan Yu's team. They had huge internal divisions, and Yan Yu did not show it, but in fact his every move revealed his arrogance, which made the candidates very unhappy.
When it came time to perform today, their improvised dance and song were not even as good as the previous one, and they got the worst score.
After the performance, although the contestants tried hard to remain calm, anyone could see that some of them could hardly hold back the anger and rage on their faces.
Especially Yan Yu.
He was the angriest one among them, but now he could only smile and pretend that he didn't care.
The host also noticed this and after a brief interview with everyone, he immediately went through the next process of letting the judges to score, and after the end, he quickly let the candidates take their seats.
Next came two more groups, whose scores were neither high nor low, but a little higher than Yan Yu's group, which made Yan Yu's face tense.
Fortunately, the group score does not determine whether a person will be eliminated. There is also a public voting stage. If you rank behind in this stage, you will be truly eliminated.
It was Xu Dongyou's turn next. There was another team behind him. Xu Dongyou didn't know what that team was thinking, but he could see that the candidates in his team were very nervous.
They were afraid that mistakes would result in a low ranking this time, especially since they felt that the dance music they adapted and choreographed was very good and should be able to get a good score.
Xu Dongyou cheered these people on. Perhaps they were inexplicably infected by Xu Dongyou's calmness and became less nervous.
Xu Dongyou and a few others then came on stage and began their performance. Everyone held their breath, their minds were almost blank when they went on stage, but they all jumped down perfectly.
Xu Dongyou raised his voice at the most crucial climax part. The ethereal and ethereal voice startled almost everyone at once. The camera swept across the judges' astonished eyes, and then shifted back to the stage.
After the last line of the lyrics was finished, the judges applauded for the first time in a long time, with undisguised appreciation and surprise on their faces.
Xu Dongyou and the others immediately realized that this time it must be successful. They suppressed their excitement and answered the host's questions. Soon it was Xu Dongyou's turn.
Xu Dongyou also answered along with a seemingly obedient expression, which even made the host's voice soften unconsciously.
After asking the questions, the host asked the judges to give scores as usual. The judges immediately gave high scores, which were the highest scores among all the teams so far. All the contestants were immediately envious and started to worry about the next performance.
After all contestants have finished their performances, the host ranked the teams and selected the two teams with the lowest rankings. All teams will then need to rehearse again. If these two teams still have low scores this time, the contestant with the lowest public vote will be eliminated.
All the candidates became nervous. Even those who were not at risk of elimination did not know whether they would fall behind in the next ranking. After this incident, everyone became extra serious. Even those who disliked each other temporarily suppressed their displeasure.
No one wants to be eliminated.
Including Yan Yu's team, they were finally willing to cooperate with each other, but because they were dissatisfied with each other, their cooperation was not so tacit.
But Yan Yu was already very satisfied with this.
From now on, all contestants can move freely. Tomorrow they will start selecting new songs and then practice with the judges.
Xu Dongyou still took advantage of going to the toilet to open his psychic watch to check the recent abnormal events, and then returned to the bedroom to lie down and sleep.
During the seven days of training, there were cameras following them the whole time. Xu Dongyou patiently and seriously followed the judges in the training, and also carefully arranged who would sing the first sentence and who would sing the second sentence.
He didn't know why he inexplicably became the captain of this small team. Whenever there were disputes, he would even let Xu Dongyou choose which one to take, and even told Xu Dongyou that he would never harbor any resentment against him because of this.
Xu Dongyou believed it for the time being, but he didn't expect that after he chose another person, he did not feel any resentment for not being chosen. Instead, he followed the rehearsal seriously.
Xu Dongyou finally felt relieved, and thought happily that maybe he had the so-called leadership charisma.
However, he is indeed not good at leadership. He keeps quiet most of the time and rarely stands out to show himself.
About two days later, when the second performance was due in five days, the director team said that the program would be broadcast the next day. However, since all the cameras had been handed in, they couldn't even want to know what the public would think of them tomorrow. They were all extremely nervous, and their eyes were all bruised when they came to training the next day.
Except for Xu Dongyou and Li Ge, they all fell asleep as soon as they lay down. Although Xu Dongyou could get news from the outside world through his watch, he did not use it to cheat. Instead, he only used the watch to check for abnormal events and did not look at anything else.
But he didn't expect that by the next night, several voters had already quietly found Xu Dongyou and asked mysteriously in a corner that the camera couldn't see: "Dongyou, do you know where you rank in the public vote?"
Xu Dongyou was stunned.
The candidates were also surprised when they saw this and asked hesitantly, "Dong You, have you signed with a company?"
Xu Dongyou shook his head.
The candidates suddenly realized and explained to Xu Dongyou, "We have all signed contracts with the company, so the program team will quietly give us ten minutes to contact the outside world. I heard about this from someone in our company. I also took a look at the voting rankings and amounts. Dongyou, don't you want to know your situation?"
Xu Dongyou was indeed very curious about his current voting ranking and number, so he asked, "How much is it?"
Although he could also see it through the watch, this opportunity could bring him closer to these choices, making it easier for subsequent cooperation.
These candidates said with envy and excitement that Xu Dongyou is currently ranked first, and Li Ge is second, but the difference between the first and second place is more than 100,000 votes.
Although the gap doesn't seem that big at first glance, it's only been less than a few hours since the show was aired, and this many votes is already quite astonishing.
Xu Dongyou was not surprised by the number of votes. He asked, "Who is the third place?"
In theory, it should be Yan Yu. He has the best overall performance at the moment. He is good at singing and dancing, and he also looks great. He is not the overly macho type, but rather handsome.
"We all thought that Yan Yu should be ranked third, but he is actually ranked sixth. The third is the one named Wu Zhi."
Xu Dongyou rarely showed an expression of surprise. Wu Zhi's performance on that day was not amazing or outstanding, so how could he be ranked third
These candidates understood Xu Dongyou's expression and immediately started to explain the reasons.
It turned out that during the usual training, Yan Yu's arrogance hidden beneath his seemingly calm surface was not only sensed by those few contestants, but also by the audience.
Even though Yan Yu had almost hidden it very well, he could not resist the grassroots leader who was good at analyzing subtle expressions, and he analyzed it frame by frame. No matter what Yan Yu was thinking at the time, with this picture and text, there is always a feeling that he really thought so.
In fact, arrogance is not a disgusting thing, but if one's every move reveals an unpleasant sense of superiority, it will be annoying.
Even though Yan Yu performed very well, he still aroused the disgust of many people. At the same time, many people became Yan Yu's fans and spoke for him.
As for Wu Zhi, he attracted a group of fans because of his diligence and hard work. In addition, he is a top student, which makes the public like him very much, so he became the third place.
As for Li Ge, he is indeed good-looking and a good dancer, so it is natural for him to be the second.
Although Xu Dongyou was not surprised that he was the first place, he was still a little surprised, and then he thanked these people.
These people quickly said that this was not worth thanking.
At night, when Xu Dongyou lay down, he and Li Ge looked at each other. They both noticed that Yan Yu's complexion was very bad and he had completely ignored the camera.
There is an 80% chance that the other party already knows about the ranking.
As Yan Yu lay down, his mind was still echoing with the words that people in the company kept telling him not to reveal any subtle expressions in front of the camera. Even though he was indeed capable in business, he could not withstand these actions that could easily lead to criticism.
Yan Yu thought to himself, is it wrong for him to have a sense of superiority in his heart? He was obviously the best in all aspects of the candidates, but because of some facial expressions, his ranking dropped to sixth. This made him want to smash his phone, but he held back.
He secretly warned himself that he must control his expression tomorrow and not attract criticism again.
He wanted to debut successfully, become a big star, and be loved by thousands of people.
Just thinking about it makes me feel great.
