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

The teams took their seats one by one, and everyone applauded and welcomed each team as they came out. Only then did everyone realize how closed this environment was. There were not even any photographers, only cameras and robotic arms. The rehearsal just now was to confirm the arrangement of the robotic arms. However, this does have its advantages, as it facilitates live broadcast and delivery.

There were people cheering during the original rehearsal because Yoona is such a beautiful girl, but no one is in that mood now. There is a sense of presence and nervousness, and one can even see some people looking dejected. Perhaps the rehearsal was not going well. Xia Xinglang and his team did not pay attention to other teams. They did not care about the qualifying rules for the first round. Ranking was everything and whoever got first place won.

The first introduction to the newcomers, New Moon Night is an idol project with an ancient style, which can be said to be going against the trend in today's entertainment industry. The most famous one among them is a boy with long hair, Nan Shangjun. Shangjun has a pretty face and delicate features. He is often mistaken for a girl. Whenever he goes shopping with his teammates, he is photographed and spreads scandals.

"We are New Moon Night!" As the captain, Nam Sang-jun tied his hair up into a high ponytail this time. "In the first round, we are going to challenge our senior, Kream-est's Jewel."

There were no greetings or self-introductions by the members. The host asked the reasons for the challenge, and the answers were all well-intentioned, saying that they wanted to challenge the mature style because they wanted to prove themselves.

I have to say that the makeup and styling when they first debuted didn’t really suit them, with only Nam Sang-jun standing out handsomely.

"I will definitely miss you! We are the Definite Boys Group!" It was the only large group in the venue, with a total of 11 people. The oldest was only and the youngest was only . The boss and captain was Lin Chenglie and the youngest was Yu Yan.

"We are going to challenge Block-19, the debut song of District , "Farewell to Sanity."

In fact, there were many people with the word "玉" in their names, such as Yu Yan, Song Yu, and Li Si Yu. They all had one thing in common: they were all the youngest members. As the interviews went on, the challenge lists of other teams gradually became clear.

Everyone avoids the youthful campus style of the boy band. It’s not that they can’t challenge it, but it’s not suitable. Boys can act mature, but adults can’t act boys, or it’s difficult to act like green campus boys.

The captain of the 19th district is Duan Yiqiu, who gave a very high evaluation of the Japanese group that Xia Xinglang is in: "I think the closest to the new generation king of the stage is the Taeyang. Now that I am standing here, I want to try it. Our style has been finalized. We have been staying in the comfort zone without any progress, just like a ship anchored in the port. There is no danger, but the ship does not exist for this."

"Yes, by participating in this program, we are eager to break through ourselves..."

Daniel agrees: “Very well said!”

Xia Xinglang nodded in agreement, but Jin Chengxie whispered in his ear: "This sentence is plagiarized from a foreign singer. The ship is docked at the port, but the ship does not exist for this."

Xia Xinglang: “…………”

Kim Seung Hyuk was happiest when he was saying bad things: "Haha, you are so uneducated that you have to copy this."

There was a camera in front of each team that was recording. Xia Xinglang looked at him speechlessly: "The camera is recording."

Kim Seung Hyuk: “Oh.”

The current captain of the Cream Group is Han Fan, who decided to challenge the ancient style of New Moon Night, which was something no one expected. Han Fan's speech was also friendly, and the general idea was that everyone should make progress together.

There were only two groups left, the finale and the last one. The second-to-last finale team, the Cheshire Cats, sat diagonally opposite Xia Xinglang and his group. Xiao Yu, as the team leader, spoke, but his speech was a little stuck, obviously reciting a script: "Our Cheshire Cats, although it has only been two months since our debut, we have made rapid progress in these two months..."

Yin Donghao took the microphone and said: "Rapid progress is impossible. We have come step by step. We have persisted throughout our trainee career and hope to prove ourselves on stage."

Yoona asked, "Why challenge Solis?"

Xiao Yu took a deep breath and said, "This was decided by everyone's vote. I did not vote in favor."

Antonio wanted to speak, and Xiao Yu gave him the microphone: "Because something happened before, it had a great impact on both of us. We hope to use the stage to communicate and help each other clear up misunderstandings."

The ambiguous answer made many people unhappy. That incident referred to the fact that idol sports could hurt people. It would have been fine if it hadn't been mentioned, but once it was mentioned, everyone would have all kinds of associations.

Che Zaixun at this time is different from any other time before. He said seriously: "Music will be connected with memory. For example, when playing this song, I will immediately think of the scene at that time, the singer, and many other things. So we hope to establish this connection with everyone and let more people think of us."

"Why did you decide to challenge the Cheshire Cat?"

Kim Seung Hyuk wanted to continue: "Because——"

Xia Xinglang took the microphone and said, "Because I can feel the connection point, something brings us together. I want to try to control it, control this feeling."

Kim Seung-hyuk looked at him, and Xia Xinglang knew that he wanted to say "because I feel I can win", and then do his best to mock and provoke, preferably to irritate the other party, but Xia Xinglang felt that it was too much, and it was better to be calm. Even Shengli was pretending to be very obedient now, because the audience could see them from the live camera.

"Right? Cheng Xie brother," Xia Xinglang handed him the microphone, "Go ahead."

Kim Seung Hyuk gave a confident smile: "The other side may seem a little cold, but we will make up for it with enthusiasm."

It's annoying to say this, but it's undeniable that Kim Seung-hyuk's strong self-awareness can make people ignore a lot of things.

The host returned to the topic and began to introduce the rules of the competition: "Everyone, do you wear your crown with you?"

Upon seeing this, Miu Miu put the crown on Xia Xinglang's hat.

Everyone was wearing stage costumes, either black or white, except for Cream Tuan, who was a bit special because she was singing an ancient style song, so she wore a pink and white coat. The others were either wearing black leather jackets and leather pants, or suits and trousers. There was nothing special about it, except that the suits were either white or black. No one chose the preppy style, probably because they knew that they couldn't be king at their age.

"The jewels on the crown, maybe everyone has paid attention to the details on it?" Yoona's friendly tone was inversely proportional to the tense atmosphere in the venue, "The number of gems inlaid is different."

The camera gave a close-up of each team's crown, one, two... five, six, from one to six.

"Yes, the number of gems represents the order of the first round. Please be ready. Now, please invite Xin Yue Ye to perform the song "Jewel"."

Xia Xinglang and his companions saw that there were six gems on their crowns and performed the finale.

Nam Sang-jun was stunned for a moment when he suddenly went on stage for the first time. He stood up with his teammates and lined up as they had rehearsed. They were going to perform in the middle of the stage. There were no audiences or cheering, only other opponents. It was good for the newcomer to be the first to go on stage because the pressure would not be so great.

When the newcomers came on stage, the host began to add the rules: "Do you think there will be any eliminations in the competition?"

At least on the surface, no one wants anyone to be eliminated.

"No one will be eliminated in the first round, but in each subsequent round, the team at the bottom of the ranking will be eliminated," Daniel read out the rules. "Let's return the stage to the young men with the scent of laurel."
