Boy group: In order to survive, I have to open business

Xia Xinglang was busy completing the pre-tasks released by the system and overlooked the most crucial thing, which was the elimination in order. This time, Park Xia, as the host, announced that the ranking in the safety circle was 25, which means that one must be within the top 25 to advance to the third round. This was obviously different from the 36 in Xia Xinglang's memory of his previous life. How come 11 more people were eliminated at once!

If he is eliminated, there is no need to sell homosexuality. Maybe he can hug Huashanyuan and cry for a while.

The 60 contestants at the scene looked visibly nervous, and many of them covered their faces and screamed. The ranking began to be announced from 25th to 25th. Li Daxun was at 20th. All five of them cried, probably because of too much pressure. They said they didn't expect to advance to the third round. They were really grateful for everyone's voting and were planning to pack up and go home.

Park Ha paused meaningfully and said, "The final number of members will be announced on the night of the group formation!"

The final number of members in Xia Xinglang's memory was 9, an odd number, because 9, 7, 5, and 4 are the regular numbers of members in most idol groups. His group in his previous life was 9, and a 9-member group is more suitable for rotation in terms of dance choreography and movement lines. He also understands that more people does not mean more fans. With fewer members in the group, there will be more individual shots and song parts for the team, which is better for show fans with more fans of the idol group, and can also stimulate fans to vote for the charts.

From 20 to 15, from 15 to 10...

Xia Xinglang became more and more frightened after hearing the following. His last ranking was 37th. Wasn't that a sure thing for him to be eliminated? No, there were a lot of compliments below during the Sweet Mood Dance Challenge. Maybe he was in the top ten. But was that possible? He had never thought of this possibility. The contestants he was familiar with sat in the opposite seats marked with rankings. Cha Jae-hun was 10th and Dong Ma-kwang was 15th. The high-ranking contestants in the audience, Hong Jang-rim, Kim Seung-hyuk, Hwasanwon Ei-ji, and Yoon Dong-ho, they knew without thinking that they were definitely in the top ten.

From 10th to 5th, he is not there.

Park Ha: "Fifth place, he performed brilliantly in the last lead vocal position and won first place - Hong Jang-rim!"

Hong Zhanglin is the captain of the current male idol group Kream, and is also the lead singer of the group. He has a gentle personality and his looks are the type that are pleasing to the eye. He won't leave a deep impression at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one finds that he has a very delicate appearance. He is suitable for acting in costume dramas, and playing the guzheng, guqin, and flute by the way.

Hong Zhanglin: "Thank you everyone, I will let everyone see my efforts!"

The original company, P Company, is notoriously exploitative. Its active idol members can be said to be on a death schedule. During their comeback period, they have no rest for promoting songs and signing variety shows. Their attitude towards artists is also very bad, and the contract dividends are also the lowest in the industry. Hong Zhanglin should really want to make a second debut through a talent show and use this as an excuse to leave P Company.

The fourth place is Kim Seung Hyuk.

Kim Seung Hyuk's blond hair is still eye-catching: "Thank you very much for your support, I will not let you down."

Third place, Eiji Hanazono.

Youngji’s answer was brief: “I will continue to sing on stage.”

Next came the first and second place. Xia Xinglang was already heartbroken at this moment, but Park Xia actually called out his name and Yin Donghao's name at this moment: "Xia Xinglang and Yin Donghao, please come on stage, one of you will be the first place winner, do you have anything to say to each other?"

Xia Xinglang didn't dare to think about getting first place at all. His heart was pounding. He was thankful to be able to stand on the stage: "Brother Donghao has always been first place. He has the temperament of an idol, a good face, and a great stage performance. Last time, he also won first place in the rap category, so I think Brother Donghao will take first place."

Yin Donghao blushed a little, and he and Xiaolang stood on the stage praising each other: "Xiaolang is a boy with great idol talent. Although he is younger than me, his ability is not worse than mine. I don't think it's strange that he won first place."

Park Ha flipped open her card: "The number of votes is 1,500,9739. First place is contestant Yin Donghao!"

Xia Xinglang let out a long sigh and hugged Yin Donghao: "Brother, congratulations!"

Yin Donghao rarely smiled so brightly. At such a happy moment, he put his arm around his shoulders and the two of them walked up the stairs. Yin Donghao walked up to the top king's seat. The first in line was naturally the most eye-catching. Xia Xinglang stood on the second step, a height he had never dared to imagine in his previous life. Sitting so high and looking down, it turned out that people looked so small when looking down. There were also people he knew on the opposite side of the contestants. More than half of the people were eliminated in this round and the next round. The contestants either covered their faces and cried or smiled and clapped. He remembered a 30-year-old contestant who had participated in many talent shows but failed. This time was no exception. The glamour of the entertainment industry was so obvious, obvious enough to ignore the bitterness of most people.

When Xia Xinglang sat down, he exchanged glances with Huashanyuan Yingzhi, who mouthed to him, "Congratulations, Xiaolang-kun."

Thinking of the compliments he had said to Hua Shanyuan before in order to keep him, Xia Xinglang couldn't help but blushing when he thought of this: "Thank you, Brother Yingzhi."

Yingzhi smiled at him.

The program released the episodes up to the second ranking announcement in one go, with a total of four episodes from level re-evaluation to the second public stage and ranking announcement. Because the next three rounds of performances adopt a live voting system, the third ranking announcement, which is the group formation night, is also a live broadcast. The second round of votes are reset to zero, and the live vote count directly determines whether the contestant can debut. The change in the voting mechanism has caused heated discussions among fans. Many people questioned the authenticity of the live voting, because it is not the first day that M agency has engaged in fraudulent votes.

: Haha, the company is injecting money.

: Is the live voting going crazy? It is easy to cheat votes by buying an account.

: I don’t know who the show wants to kick out.

The discussion was mixed with comments canvassing for votes for my children, and normally the atmosphere was peaceful and joyful, but the change in the competition format had everyone on edge, and canvassing for votes could lead to a war of words.

: Our little wolf is the most difficult individual trainee, please vote for little wolf. [Xia Xinglang's head portrait is photoshopped with puppy ears]

: Who would believe that he doesn't have a company? He is so obviously praised and the amount of editing is frightening. [Yin Donghao's headshot]

: Yin Donghao TUBE company, haha, a famous data sponge water injection company.

: When the three of them were doing the dance challenge, they asked Xia Xinglang to stand in the middle. What else could he be if not a royal family member? It was so funny.

Q: How does this relate to the dance challenge?

: A good-looking child should stand in the middle.

There are very few shots of Xia Xinglang in the level re-evaluation, and only his rap part received praise. The producer and judge Taiyang said that he has made progress. There are also very few shots of him standing in line to choose songs. The key shot is the part where they practice dancing half-naked. Xia Xinglang advocates taking off clothes to practice, and his teammates are very resistant, especially Che Zaixun.

Most female fans nowadays have high standards for male idols exposing their bodies, unless they are sexy male stars like Jung Woo-hyun and Rain, having that kind of figure and face is secondary. But if it is a male idol who relies on his face, he must have all the qualities that girls love. First of all, fair skin, secondly smooth skin, and then no excess hair. Muscles are allowed but not too much. People will look fat when they are on camera, and having muscles will make them look stronger. Therefore, both male and female idols are now frighteningly thin and wear size S clothes.

The half-naked practice clip of Xia Xinglang's group has been played a lot. His figure fits the audience's broad definition of a beautiful boy. The screenshots have been discussed many times, not only him but also other teammates, including Yingzhi and Che Zaixun, some even said that if they took off their clothes during the performance, he would definitely be the first in the number of votes. Their group already has the highest number of votes from the performance audience.

The official live footage of Wiggle's performance was restricted by the platform because the data increased too quickly. The behavior of a large number of people repeatedly watching the same video was classified as brushing data. In fact, fans were also brushing data, but fans could discover new and surprising details every time they watched it, so six people had to watch it more than six times.

When the second round of rankings was announced, the scene of Yin Donghao and Xia Xinglang hugging each other when they were ranked last or last no longer caused any criticism.

: The child’s ranking has been rising, 75-37-2. He was ranked th before, but now he is ranked nd, nd, nd!

: Next time I’ll be the first!

After each performance of the show, they have to play games to warm up before returning to the scene to start recording. The last game was the day after the first public performance ended. Xia Xinglang was absent due to a fever, so this time the producer of the show specially compensated him and gave him the privilege of playing the game.

Park Ha: "Dance challenge! Challenge! In the game, you need to dance to the song according to the song. In this game, contestant Xia Xinglang has the privilege to stand from the beginning to the end!"

Everyone stood in a row, Xia Xinglang was dancing in the middle, he knew almost all the songs that were played, in his previous life he often hung out in the dance studio during his comeback period, the thing he did most often was to cover other groups' dances, so he knew all the songs of the active boy and girl groups from ten years ago or later.

When Xia Xinglang was dancing to the fifth song, he finally felt that he couldn't stand out alone, so he decided to quit and let others who knew how to dance to join in. However, the song was too unpopular and no one knew how to dance to it. Xia Xinglang gritted his teeth and finished the whole song. The next song was the debut song of the Angel Girls Group. Xia Xinglang forced others to join in: "Everyone who knows how to dance, let's dance together, okay?"

Huashanyuan Yingzhi was the closest to him, and Xia Xinglang looked at him with a pleading look: "Brother Yingzhi, you have heard of this song, right?"

Yingzhi shook his head: "I've heard of it, but I can't dance."

Xia Xinglang made a cat scratching motion: "I'll teach you."

Yingzhi watched him dance: "Yes."

Xia Xinglang gave him a thumbs up: "Brother Yingzhi, you are a genius!"

Yingzhi looked at his actions and said, "No."

Because the songs are not limited to idol groups, there are also popular songs for short video challenges. In the eyes of others, Xia Xinglang is like a cheat. He can sing all 20 songs from beginning to end, and most of them are girl group songs. It is a miracle that a male idol knows girl group dances to this extent. Yin Donghao and Kim Seunghyuk acted as background boards throughout the whole process. They only knew one or two songs and would come out to dance for a while and then go back immediately.

Park Ha: "Congratulations to contestant Xia Xinglang for getting a perfect score. You can even debut in a girl group!"

Xia Xinglang took a deep breath: "Because I am a fan of the Angel Group, Crown Group, Diamond Group, Rabbit Group, Cat Group, Star Group, and Sister Group!"

Park Ha: "What a long breath, is this a military training roll call?"
