CH 14

On the second day after the rehearsal, the official competition was finally ushered in.

The grand fireworks made the whole stage colorful, and four beautiful or handsome instructors came on stage one after another to greet the audience.

Immediately afterward, the Chief Instructor Zhang Ning announced two groups of trainee team competitions.

Soon, the boys’ and girls’ group finished their performances, and the 500 public judges on the scene scored the two groups’ performances. Then the girls’ group directly crushed the boys’ group who got 94 points with a super high score of 401 points. Among them, 5 people abstained from voting. The boys’ score was really poor. It seemed that all the male trainees had been slapped on the face, and their cheeks were burning with pain, and their faces were extremely ugly.

The captain, Xu Jiayin, speaking as the representative of the boys’ group, expressed guilt.

“It’s me, the captain, who didn’t do a good job. I have a large part of the responsibility. I’m very sorry to my team members, they all tried their best.”

He took over all the responsibilities in the group. His frankness and courage to take responsibility also attracted many female fans on the scene. However, Shi Yi, the one who caused the performance error, did not say anything. If he had not forgotten the movements first, the boy group’s performance would not have become a laughing stock. Some male trainees saw that there was no trace of guilt on his face, and gradually became dissatisfied with him in their hearts.

In addition, some male trainees pay more attention to the girls’ group. When they look at the girls’ group with beaming expressions, the male trainees’ eyes flash with indescribable envy.

Someone couldn’t help but say, “Hey, it’s not wrong to lose to the girls’ group. Look at their strength and preparation. No matter how good we perform, I’m afraid it’s useless.”

Look at who is this person who speaks his own sarcastic words and destroys his ambition. Impressively, it is the words of the boys’ group.

However, Xin Jiu’s words do have some truth. Who asked the 500 members of the public judges, half of them are students from major music colleges. They have a certain appreciation ability, so how can they not tell who is bad and who is good? On the other hand, although they are all star-chasing girls, the girls’ group song is almost tailor-made for all girls. The sincere and heart-pounding lyrics also shake their hearts, so they vote for the girls’ group. As a result, it is not surprising that the girls’ group crushed the boys’ group by a large score in the end.

Especially from his partner Meng Yu, he learned that their Captain, Jiang Ting, has made all-around planning in terms of song quality, clothing, lighting, and even scoring audience after the game. After Xin Jiu knew it, he was convinced.

He also fully understood the true strength of the only trainee who broke through the siege of all the trainees in the qualification competition and got a full score. This really cannot be explained by luck. Great people are great at anything.

At this time, before the boys’ group fell into grief after seeing the tragic result, they were all pushed backstage by the assistants of the program team to make up and dress up, and prepare for the performance of the PK competition.

Then the recording was suspended on the spot. The instructors also touched up the makeup and changed clothes. Soon, the preparations will be completed.

The Chief Instructor Zhang Ning also changed into a bright red tube top and fishtail skirt. She stood on the stage with a card in her hand and smiled.

“Welcome to the episode of “National Couple”, I am the Chief Instructor Zhang Ning, this program is broadcast by xx…”

Zhang Ning once again cued the process, read an advertisement very dedicatedly, and then announced.

“At present, the two groups of trainees have selected their partners and successfully formed a double couple. Next, they will start the ‘double PK competition’ stage.”

“The rules of the double PK competition are as follows: First, enter the lottery session. Each group of couples needs to select a trainee to draw lots in sequence until the order of appearance of ten groups of couples is selected.”

“Secondly, the couple who have been drawn to the serial number ‘1’ will perform. After the performance, the public judges will score. After scoring, they will be on the ‘Couple Throne’.”

After that, Zhang Ning turned her attention to the rest zone of ​​the trainees. The program team also turned on the lights and saw that the rest zone of ​​the trainees was in the shape of a pyramid, with many white seats. On the top of the pyramid was a gorgeous and luxurious black-gold throne, which was very dazzling.

When the audience saw it, Zhang Ning faced the camera and continued.

“Then, wait for the next group of couples to perform. If the score of the next group of couples is higher than that of the previous group, the couple will be replaced, and the latter will ascend to the throne. If the score of the next group of couples is lower than the previous group, it will remain unchanged. The latter will automatically enter the normal zone.”

“Therefore, we call this process ‘Climb To The Top’. Only the number one can be remembered; only the number one can reach the top.”

The program team was playing tricks again, and the trainees began to tremble all over.

“It’s too cruel. Does this mean that those who don’t get the first place don’t deserve a name?”

“I regret coming to the competition.”

“It’s terrifying all of a sudden.”

The complaints and panics of the trainees were not taken seriously by the program team. Because of course, the more cruel the competition system of the talent show, the more selling point. Only in this way can the sympathy of fans be aroused, and more people are called on to watch the show and vote for their idols, to achieve good quality and gain more traffic.

After the introduction of the competition system, the Chief Instructor Zhang Ning announced the start of the lottery, and each couple will draw one person to represent their combination.

As for Jiang Ting and Chen Yi’s group, Jiang Ting didn’t like the lottery and guessing games, so she directly pushed Chen Yi to the stage.

After that, maybe because Jiang Ting’s group chose Chen Yi to draw lots, almost all the other groups were drawn by boys. Xu Jiayin, Sheng Kai, Lin Yu, Xin Jiu, Yin Ziyu, Liu Zhongming, Luo Tianning, and Shi Yi, their female partners all let them come to the stage to draw lots.

Only the group of Xu Zhengxuan and Lin Xinxiang came to the stage too early. After hearing the words of the Chief Instructor Zhang Ning, Lin Xinxiang volunteered to go to the draw. But unexpectedly, a group of male trainees was all walking towards her.

She shivered like a little white rabbit that went to the wrong wolf den, among the nine big wild wolves.

At this time, Xu Zhengxuan walked towards Jiang Ting and whispered.

“You girls made a group appointment and let the boys draw lots, did not you tell Lin Xinxiang?”

Jiang Ting looked puzzled, and she was also puzzled, so she retorted.

“No, I don’t know. Anyway, I let Chen Yi go up because I didn’t want to go up.”

Xu Zhengxuan suddenly stopped talking.

In fact, the girls did not make an appointment, but because of the short three days of devil training, they had a deep understanding of the horror of the big devil. So when Jiang Ting pushed Chen Yi out, the “dog licking” of the big devil, such as Hong Shiyu, Meng Yu, and Zheng Qian followed suit and let their male partners go up.

As for the others, maybe the boys wanted to go up by themselves; or some people wanted to go up, but seeing that everyone else let their partners go up, they were too embarrassed to go up. The herd effect led them to make a choice.

So it’s purely coincidental.

After the ten people came to the stage, the instructor announced that the lottery would be drawn according to the scores of the previous qualification round. The rankings of the nine boys were already arranged, except for Lin Xinxiang. But her score is the last among all the trainees, so she automatically becomes the last draw.

Lin Xinxiang wanted to cry without tears, she hated her legs so fast at the moment, couldn’t she wait?

She looked at her partner Xu Zhengxuan with tears in her eyes, and she seemed to say she was holding him back.

Xu Zhengxuan held his forehead and was speechless.

The order of drawing lots was very fast. After Shi Yi finished drawing lots, it was Chen Yi and Lin Xinxiang’s turn.

At this time, there are only two left in the order that have not been drawn, No. 3 and No. 10.

Chen Yi listened to Lin Xinxiang’s rambling chanting: “God bless, I don’t want to draw the tenth one, I don’t want to draw the last one. God bless, the Jade Emperor bless, Tathagata Buddha bless. God from Western, although it’s a bit far away, also please bless the child, thank you very much.”

Chen Yi had already stretched his arm into the lottery bucket at this time. When he started to let go of the bucket, he inadvertently glanced at the ball on the left. The word ‘1’ was written on the side of the ball, and he probably understood the number of the ball.

Originally, his hand had moved to the right, but after a few seconds, he pinched the ball with a ‘1’ on the left again.

He took out the ball and faced the camera, only to see the number ’10’ appear on the screen. Suddenly, Lin Xinxiang behind him was happier than him, bouncing around.

“Ah, I don’t have to be the finale, I don’t have to make the last appearance.”

Lin Xinxiang hates the sequence of two games the most, one is the first to appear, and the other is the last to appear, two ‘1’. It makes people very nervous and it makes people feel very stressed, and she doesn’t want it.

Immediately afterward, Lin Xinxiang hurried to the box and took out the last ball. Seeing the number ‘3’ written on it, she was completely relieved.

After the lottery, the Chief Instructor Zhang Ning asked everyone to go down to prepare for the competition.

Chen Yi apologized to Jiang Ting: “Sorry, the drawn number is not very good.”

There are ten groups of contestants in total. It’s not the kind of competition where after the performance of ten groups, which group you like the most will be scored for which group. If like that generally, the last player to play has an advantage.

Instead, the previous group is compared with the next group, and the audience scores each game. In other words, the audience may feel tired after watching the finale, which is very detrimental to voting, and it also made Chen Yi feel a little sorry for Jiang Ting.

Jiang Ting’s face was indifferent, her tone was flat but full of confidence.

“It doesn’t matter what position you are in. Let other people see that we are the ones they will never catch up to.”

Chen Yi was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously said: “And me?”

Jiang Ting patted his shoulder, narrowed his eyes, and said meaningfully.

“Those people are not my opponents, and naturally they will not be your opponents. Tonight, use the stage to crush their stinky mouths.”

In private, some male trainees said ‘Chen Yi didn’t know what disgusting tricks to get picked up by Jiang Ting’. It’s not that Jiang Ting is unaware of these vicious words, but she never knew that it would develop that way.

Ever since they learned that Jiang Ting chose Chen Yi as her partner, some boys felt uncomfortable.

Gradually, the discomfort turned into jealousy. Disgusting tricks such as being isolated, spreading rumors, refusing to open the bedroom door, and splashing water on the sheets were used on Chen Yi.

But this boy who is not yet 20 years old, after listening to the persuasion of the program team, was afraid that a scandal would affect the program, and finally decided to swallow his anger. Even his partner, Jiang Ting, did not tell.

If she had not accidentally learned from Xu Jiayin that Chen Yi had changed the dormitory, she would not know. Jiang Ting asked what was going on, but was told by Chen Yi not to interfere. She stubbornly ran to ask the director and watched a good show on surveillance. She really didn’t know what happened to Chen Yi behind her back.

The fear in people’s hearts made Jiang Ting feel chills; the pressure from the program team made Jiang Ting angry and helpless.

So Jiang Ting decided that tonight, she and Chen Yi would give those bastards a hard slap, tearing their disgusting ugly faces into pieces.

*****

The author has something to say:

There may be readers who don’t like the author’s arrangement and feel that the author is forcing the villain. But in reality, Dachang Boys has had news of male trainees being expelled for fights, but the news was suppressed, there was no splash during the game, and it was picked up after the game.

The members of the girl group who debuted also connoted their teammates on INS, and turned around and pretended to be good sisters on Weibo, speculating on CP… In short, this kind of talent show is really not the kind of brotherly and sisterly show, sweet look shown in the show.

Therefore, some plot writers are not nonsense but still refer to some real-life draft news to make the article as real as possible.
