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

Xia Xinglang's idea was unanimously recognized, because Girls' Generation started to go for a cool style in the later period and got the titles of Female Heroine and Female Empress, they wanted to use the state of Girls' Generation in the later period to perform this song from the early period of their debut, but this was a collaborative stage, and they still had to discuss it with District 19, as the other party might have other ideas.

On the day when the rankings were announced, Xia Xinglang and his team returned to the studio. The studio was brand new, with a large screen and long stairs on both sides for the teams to take their seats. Xia Xinglang greeted Lin Chenglie and his team, whom he knew. Under the gaze of everyone, the two hosts came out. Yoona was still wearing a black business suit. The atmosphere was heavy and no one felt relaxed before the rankings were announced.

In the last-place elimination system starting from the second round, if the cooperative stage reaches the last place, will both teams be eliminated? How many rounds will there be in total? Will the final winner receive special rewards?

The red question mark in everyone’s heart is about to pop up.

"Does everyone have an expected ranking in mind?" Yoona asked with a smile, "Today is the day to announce the rankings. I believe everyone is familiar with the rules, but for the sake of our first-time viewers, it is still necessary to explain the rules of the competition again."

“Yes, from the second round onwards, the last-placed team will leave the stage,” Daniel said, “but this also means that new people will join, and there will always be six teams during the show.”

"The ranking in the first round will only affect the points, which will be accumulated in each round until the final game," said Yoona. "The competition between the challenger and the challenged is determined by the ranking. The winner will take the loser's crown. It sounds cruel, but that's how it is."

Compared to this, everyone is more concerned about what Daniel said, that there will be new people to fill the positions after elimination!

"We'll start from the last one to the first one, starting with the sixth place." Without giving everyone too much time to buffer, Daniel began to announce the rankings, "New Moon Night."

This is predictable. Newly debuted groups do not have a solid fan base and are not large in size, so participating in competitive variety shows is not a wise choice.

Nam Sang-jun is encouraging his teammates, saying that since they are newcomers, the audience's expectations are not high, and they just need to work hard in the future.

"Fifth place - Definitely the Youth Team!"

If the two teams did not challenge each other, then the outcome of their crown battle is obvious. Xinyue Ye and Naianyoutuan challenged each other, and the ones who took off the crown were Han Fan and his team. It must have been a one-way challenge by the Youth Group, so they failed to win.

"Fourth place - Cheshire Cat!"

Xia Xinglang thought that the Cheshire Cat would rank higher because the combined number of fans of Yoon Donghao and Xiao Yu was quite large, but they didn't make it into the top three. The third place was announced by Yoona, and it was Kream-est.

There were still the first and second left. Xia Xinglang looked towards District 19. They were sitting on the left and right steps respectively. Sheng Li's expression could be seen from here. He did not show excessive expectations and did not seem to care about anything. Xia Xinglang looked at the other teams. Everyone had different expressions. The newcomers were obviously relaxed, while others were also very nervous because they were worried that they would be eliminated in two rounds.

Miu Miu's voice was a little trembling: "I was so nervous that I wanted to vomit."

Xia Xinglang: "I'll get you a bag."

Miao Miao's face turned pale: "It's okay, I can still bear it, I have the burden of being an idol."

Xia Xinglang asked him to focus on his breathing and helped pat his back. There was a commotion at this time and Xia Xinglang thought something big had happened. It turned out to be a new mentor. As the name of their group meant, the person with the stage name Sun was the only one who was so popular until now.

"What happened?" Xia Xinglang asked curiously.

Kim Seung Hyuk said: "As a producer, Taeyang will tailor a single for the final champion team."

Taeyang has transformed himself into a producer and has written many hit singles. He is known as a famous song maker. No wonder everyone reacted so strongly, but Kim Seung Hyuk was not impressed: "I don't think anyone knows Solis better than us."

Xia Xinglang thought so too.

Miu Miu looked at him with tears in her eyes: "I really want to go to the bathroom."

"I'll go with you," Xia Xinglang felt that it would be bad if one person was absent, "Do you feel like vomiting?"

Miu Miu didn't say anything, just nodded.

Just as they decided to leave, Daniel suddenly announced: "The champion of the first round - Solis! Please give your thoughts on the next one."

Xia Xinglang and the others had no choice but to wait where they were. Che Zaixun gave a brief speech: "We will live up to everyone's love! We will continue to work hard and hope to see you on stage more often."

The team that failed the challenge had to offer the crown. Nam Sang-jun handed the crown to Han Fan, and the Cheshire Cat, Xiao Yu, handed the crown to Che Jae-hun. Xiao Yu's expression was not that bad. In fact, he cared a lot about winning or losing. It must be painful to participate in such a competition, especially after losing.

Xia Xinglang took the opportunity to take Miu Miu to the bathroom. Miu Miu leaned over the sink and vomited violently. In the end, he vomited bile. Xia Xinglang asked him if he felt uncomfortable, and contacted his assistant to help buy stomach medicine. Miu Miu had tears in his eyes: "Am I embarrassed?"

"Whoever said that to you, I'll go and teach him a lesson." Xia Xinglang stayed by his side until Miu Miu got better.

"Xingxing," Miu Miu was still doubting herself, "Do so many people like me?"

Xia Xinglang: "You also met fans at the book signing event, why do you think so?"

“There are only two hundred people on site.”

"How could it be? There are far more than 200," Xia Xinglang said half-jokingly, "Well, look, the official account of District 19 has 10 million followers. Our 200 fans can beat them. Are these 200 people all gods of war? One person beats 50,000 people."

Miu Miu seemed to understand: "Oh."

Xia Xinglang helped him back and the ranking was announced. Only one team would be eliminated in the second round. If two teams cooperated on the stage and ranked last, the two teams in that group would have an additional round of voting.

Miu Miu didn't bother to listen to the rules: "As long as you get first place, you win."

Solis and Block-19, the eleven of them started a discussion about the collaborative stage. Shengli mentioned something that happened two years ago: "We also had a collaborative stage before, but we were bullied."

"..."

No one cares about him.

Xia Xinglang selectively ignored him and only talked to Duan Yiqiu about the direction of the stage. He said that he wanted to interpret it in a noble style, using the later styles of Yingjie and Diwang to perform the earlier songs, while Duan Yiqiu and the others wanted a dark style: "How about combining them together, like Black Prince?"

Duan Yiqiu: "As for the costume, I hope there will be a cape."

Che Zaixun also had an idea: "No, I want a furry scarf."

When everyone calmed down, they started to discuss the positions. The original nine-man position was definitely not acceptable, and Shengli had a bad record of blocking people by grabbing the C position. With an odd number of eleven people, who would stand in the middle? Everyone would definitely argue again, but this time it was unexpectedly straightforward. Shengli took the initiative to give up his position and said, "Leave it to Xinglang."

Xia Xinglang felt that something must be happening behind his back, and Sheng Li would not be so kind.

They entered the rehearsal room in District 19 and were surprised at their dedication to the sword dance. If someone missed the beat, they would immediately pause and start over. Everyone was very serious and Sheng Li didn't look so proud anymore.

We are still discussing the costumes, and we agreed to use a black base color and a combination of a cape and a hood.

The rehearsals this week went smoothly, incredibly smoothly, until the rehearsal before they went on stage. Xia Xinglang and his friends were dressed in black, while the six people from District 19 wore pure white suits and cloaks.

The stage setting itself is dark, Xia Xinglang and the others are almost blending into the background, while Sheng Li is in sharp contrast with them, black and white, just set apart!
