Emotionally stable, but continuing to go crazy

On Thursday morning, the studio welcomed a new day of filming. Unlike in the past, this time there were only 84 positions waiting for more than a hundred eager trainees, and the empty space seemed particularly spacious.

The originally relaxed and happy atmosphere among the students suddenly became heavy in the face of this sudden change in the scene.

According to the director's arrangement, the students were able to hold small presentation activities based on their respective companies before the rankings were announced.

Such an arrangement not only allows the audience to become more familiar with them, but also provides an opportunity for publicity for each company.

Most trainees are aware of their own abilities and rankings, and know that today may be their last recording on this stage.

Therefore, they all showed great enthusiasm for this presentation.

Among this group of enthusiastic students, Wei Zhe'an and Liu Zhenyu seem a little different.

Wei Zhe'an declined the opportunity to participate in the exhibition due to a foot injury. The main reason was that he did not want to cooperate with Liu Zhenyu or promote the cashew company.

As the number of participants gradually increased, the atmosphere became more relaxed. From the initial serious performance, everyone gradually turned to various funny and funny performances, and the scene was filled with laughter and cheers.

Li Jinhe walked onto the stage steadily, holding a cue card, and stood in front of the stairs that symbolized the ranking. He smiled and greeted the trainees present: "Good morning, everyone. It seems that everyone is in a good mood today."

Upon hearing this, the students stood up one after another, some nodded and smiled, while others waved and greeted Li Jinhe.

Many of them had anticipation and nervousness in their eyes, and Li Jinhe responded to them with a smile and a calm look.

In order to ease the tense atmosphere, Li Jinhe had a brief exchange with the students, using light-hearted and humorous words to help them relax.

After a brief interaction, he changed the subject and his expression became serious.

Li Jinhe cleared his throat: "Everyone has seen it," Li Jinhe pointed to the stairs behind him, "There are only eighty-four seats left here, which means that sixty trainees will face elimination today."

His words echoed in the studio, making everyone present feel the tense atmosphere.

"This elimination will be carried out in groups," Li Jinhe continued, "The five trainees at the bottom of each group will be eliminated, and the scores of the remaining trainees will be combined to rank on the overall list."

His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting every student's heart hard.

Li Jinhe stood in the center of the stage, his voice deep and magnetic: "Next, I will reveal to you the rules for the composition of the first performance results."

As he finished speaking, a short explanatory video began playing on the big screen in the studio, showing in detail the proportion of each score.

Li Jinhe continued to explain in detail to the students: "The students' current assessment level will account for 35% of the total score, the instructor's score on the day of the performance will account for 30%, the votes of the on-site dream builders will account for 20%, and the votes of the online dream builders will account for 15%."

These words surprised many trainees. They did not expect that the assessment scores would account for such a large proportion of the total score, while the online voting, which they had thought would account for a larger proportion, actually accounted for a relatively low proportion.

Li Jinhe reminded everyone: "It should be noted that the rules announced this time only apply to the first performance. As the competition progresses, the subsequent scoring rules will be adjusted. We will explain the new rules in detail before each performance to ensure that every student can clearly understand and be prepared."

Li Jinhe smiled and continued, "The total number of online votes this time reached an astonishing 134,289,584 votes. Thank you to every Dream Builder who participated in the vote. It is your support that made this performance so wonderful."

The trainees were shocked by how many people participated in the voting. The online voting opportunity for this performance was that each account could vote for seven trainees, with a maximum of two votes per trainee, and there were no other additional voting methods.

This means that at least 10 million accounts participated in the vote. This number caused the trainees to discuss privately, and they exchanged their views and speculations on the results of the vote.

"Oh my god, there are so many votes!" a trainee exclaimed, "It seems our results are not too bad?"

"Not necessarily," another trainee disagreed, "I think most of the votes may be concentrated on the all-around group. Their stage effects are really shocking."

"I think so too." The person next to him echoed, "It seems that this competition system actually protects us to a certain extent. If we were eliminated directly based on the overall ranking, we might just be runners-up."

"Wow, you make sense." The person next to him nodded in agreement, "Then next time when we divide into groups, we must work hard to get someone in the all-round class."

At the same time, the members of the all-round class were whispering to each other.

"Oh my God, there are so many votes?" Yu Chi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"This number of votes is a bit scary, if it is divided equally among each of us, we will get..." Cao Fei also sighed. He tried to calculate the average number of votes per person, but the amount of data was too large for his brain to process for a while.

"If it's divided equally, each person will have about 900,000 votes." Tong Yang took over the conversation, his brows furrowed.

"It seems that the situation is not good. Even if other results are not ideal, as long as there are enough online votes, it is still possible to raise the overall ranking. Because no matter how you multiply the coefficient, there is no upper limit to the number of votes. As long as you can get enough support, you can move up the ranking."

Xu Wenbin nodded in agreement, "And this time, the elimination will be based on the ranking within the group, not directly based on the overall ranking. In other words, there is no possibility that the entire group will survive."

This means that even if the last person in the excellent group performs better than the first person in the non-excellent group, the last person in the excellent group will still be eliminated.

When the trainees heard this explanation, everyone in the all-around class felt nervous and their mood suddenly became heavy.

Li Jinhe stood on the stage and said in a deep voice: "First, the results of Vocal Class A will be announced--"

As his voice fell, the atmosphere in the studio became tense and solemn. Five students had to be eliminated from each group, which was undoubtedly a difficult decision. No matter how their relationship was, those who stayed behind would feel reluctant and sad.

After all, they had been together day and night for nearly a month, experienced countless tears and sweat together, and completed that heart-stirring stage performance together.
