How to become an ACE of a top boy group

The final results were released on the 8th.

Voting only lasts for two days, the 6th and the 7th, so the gap between trainees with fewer fans may not be significant. The judges' scores, which account for 90% of the total score, are the key factor in determining the ranking.

All the trainees returned to that dreamy diamond-shaped stage, standing amidst a carpet of red petals under dazzling lights.

MC Li Lizhi also reappeared in front of the trainees, saying, "Hello trainees! 72 hours have passed so quickly, we meet again!"

“This time,” Li Lizhi waved the script in her hand, “I’m here with a new position.”

"Group E can only stand in the backlight as a background, Groups C and D can stand in the back to avoid being captured in the shot, and Group B will be blocked if they stand in the middle. Who can get the best position?"

"Ah!"

"Yes! The list that determines your positions is now in my hands. The best center position, chosen by the recommenders, is also here. The best center position will also have a solo shot!"

"Let's take a look at the voting results for the ranking vote as of midnight on the 7th! These are all recommendations and support from the recommenders, accounting for 10% of the ranking score!"

Li Lizhi turned around and saw a clear virtual projection on the wall where the trainees were facing, displaying the voting ranking page from highest to lowest.

Qin Feng actually received the most votes, 57 votes. I heard that his fans are about the same as Chen Zui's, loyal and capable. He truly lives up to his reputation.

Second is An Kexin, with 54 votes;

Gu Minxing is in third place with 50 votes.

……

Le Jing also received a lot of votes, ranking eighth with 36 votes. It must be because the contrast in his performance after the show aired made people feel sorry for him and made fans feel very sorry for him. In addition, Le Jing is indeed excellent. As the senior of the trainees, he has a certain fan base, and the votes are also very strong.

Song Chuchu, who was considered a member of the royal family, ranked 14th in the initial voting, with 27 votes.

Chen Zui is ranked thirty-seventh, which means that incident still caused some controversy among fans, as their votes didn't keep up.

The top 50 are people with a gap of tens of thousands, and then the gap starts to be in the thousands. Luo Xi's vote count is 95th, and she actually got more than 5000 votes. Even after deducting the 200 votes she gave herself, she still had more than 4000 people voting for her!

The guess is that the show is so popular that there are too many viewers and too many votes, so it always manages to get voted up. Even the last place has 3497 votes.

"So, even a fleeting moment on camera can attract so many people's attention. That's great," Luo thought to herself.

[Hidden Mission: Obtain 5000 votes, Completed]

[Reward: 500 points]

"Wow, 500 points! Well done, 041!"

"This wasn't done by 041. It's a hidden system quest. It will trigger once the target is reached, and 041 didn't know what the quest would be until it was triggered," said 041, who had been hovering beside Rosie. "Rosie attracted the votes herself and completed the quest herself!"

"Students with lower rankings don't need to be sad, because we still have 90% of the judges' scores, which is the biggest factor in determining your group and your position."

"First, let's announce the list for Group A: Gu Minxing, Le Jing, Lu Yun, and An Kexin!"

As Li Lizhi's voice rang out, the screen displayed the cumulative scores of Group A's ratings and votes. Gu Minxing still had a high score of 98, taking first place.

Le Jing, the pride of Group E, also scored 96 points with her excellent performance and entered Group A.

But Lu Yun's inclusion in Group A was indeed unexpected for Luo Xi. His score was 95, and he ranked 24th in the fan vote.

An Kexin is cute, hardworking, and energetic, and has excellent abilities in all areas, earning a high score of 94. Luo Xi understands this very well.

"Group A, please come up here. Leave the center position (C) clear for now. Next, we'll announce Group B."

"Those who have advanced to Group B are: Liu Jibai, Chen Zui, Ning Li, Ye Zhixi, Zhang Shuaizhen, Liya, Shen Yunhao, Zheng Zhi, Ren Haoting, and Annika!"

Luo Xi could recognize most of the people in Group B:

Liu Jibai, who qualified in Group A, was demoted to Group B.

Chen Zui is strong in both rap and dancing. He has fewer fan votes but a high ranking score, and he is also in Group B.

Ning Li, a trainee of Mengxing Culture, started as a cosplayer at a comic convention. After being discovered, she joined a multi-person idol group of Mengxing, which was somewhat similar to the BOB model, but it didn't make much of a splash. This time, she is participating in the program again as a trainee.

Ye Zhixi, a child star, has a lot of fans because he became famous at a young age. Although he is ranked 29th overall, he is fourth in the fan vote.

Zhang Shuaizhen, the band's drummer, gained a group of fans in the first episode's qualifying round due to her cheerful and lively image.

Apart from the fact that he is a foreigner but speaks fluent Chinese and was a trainee in China for several years, Luo Xi doesn't know much about Lia.

Shim Yunho, a STARDUST trainee from the same company as Rakkyung, is a former model with a great appearance;

Zheng Zhi, a trainee actor from Mexico, is probably here on the show to gain fame and adopt an elegant and sexy style;

Ren Haoting can sing traditional opera and is said to be a former member of the Ya Yi Youth Class;

Annika is a graduate student at a prestigious university. She is a highly educated academic achiever with a high IQ. She is just taking a year off to have some fun and gain life experience.

In the later CDE groups, because there were many people, Luo Xi only focused on the scores and rankings of the people she was more interested in:

Group C has Lee Yong-hyun and Ming Ning, so it seems that this time they really value strength. Both of them are ranked in the teens in the recommendation votes.

Luo Xi was surprised to find that Qin Feng, who received the most votes, was also in Group C. He thought Qin Feng's performance during the rehearsal was quite impressive.

Lin Jinghui is said to be a big blogger and a powerful figure in the live streaming field. He only became a trainee to challenge himself in order to fulfill the requests of his fans during his live streams. He didn't have any intention of debuting.

Hirakawa Kamitsu is a trainee from Japan, but he is actually from Brazil and speaks fluent foreign languages.

Group D has Song Wenchen. I feel that he is the kind of person who works hard quietly and has created a small popular reaction meme through his own efforts.

Ning Xiangqi also joined Group D this time, and he jumped up with joy when he heard his name.

Group E includes Luo Xi, Wang Xiao, Tian Jizhang, and others.

With that, the group rankings are finalized.

All the trainees have changed their number tags from the new groups and are now standing in their final positions.

"Whether you're in the front or the back, your recommenders will see you as long as you're standing here. I hope every trainee will work hard for the recommenders who vote for you!"

"Yes!" the trainees shouted in unison.

"Finally, I will announce the one everyone has been waiting for most: the best center position!"

"The best center position is..."

The center position recommendation vote is conducted on a separate webpage, similar to the official website's recommendation vote, but the vote count is not visible upon accessing the webpage; the production team wants to maintain suspense here.

"Who will win: Qin Feng, who received the most fan votes; Gu Minxing, who received the highest score from the judges; An Kexin, who was the most popular; or a dark horse who won the favor of many recommenders and emerged as a dark horse?" Li Lizhi mischievously created suspense for everyone.

"The best center position is..." Li Lizhi paused for a moment, then said loudly, "Gu Minxing, congratulations! You received the highest number of votes in the center position recommendation vote!"

When Gu Minxing heard her name, she showed a moment of surprise, but quickly adjusted her expression and calmly walked into the center position, standing steadily at the very front as if walking towards a throne.

Li Lizhi praised him without reservation: "Gu Minxing, a trainee of Mo Ri for five years, is Mo Ri's ace with all A grades. He has singing skills that are recognized by professional singers. He has proven his strength and popularity!"

A true all-rounder, Rosie couldn't help but wonder, could she win against someone like that who was an ace?

After the new grouping and positioning shoot, the trainees began the group rehearsal for the final theme song recording. The whole process was not easy, because to ensure that the movements of all 101 people were uniform and that they were orderly, smooth and handsome on camera from various angles, it required the tacit cooperation of everyone.

Therefore, after practicing intermittently for about three or four hours and repeating the dance many times, everyone finally got along well and met the director's minimum standards.

"Filming in progress! Everyone, focus!"

Having just accumulated 1018 points from the hidden quest, Rosie quickly allocated some points to Charisma.

Dance 43/100

The song started, and the dance began.

"My treasure~My pleasure~"

"Break the seal and curse / Step into this manor / Offer you my treasures / Cut me all apart / Examine each layer / And mold me into the shape you desire—"

"My ple—e—e—e—pleasure/Run with all your might/To reach that one and only light"

"My tre—e—e—e—treasure/Never, never let go/Pluck the stars, love, and dreams with you"

"For de—e—e—e—sire—"

"To be your favorite/your only lover/for whom you fear."

“Baby finding me/Picking me/Having me”

“My tre—e—e—e—treasure/You are my tre—e—e—e—treasure——”

Gu Minxing placed his hand on his left chest and leaned forward slightly, making a perfect ending. Red azalea petals fell down, making his handsome yet aloof face even more beautiful.

All the lights and camera lenses were focused on him.

However, Rosie couldn't see it because she was standing at the very back of the line; she could only imagine the flashing lights in front of her.

She clenched her fists, determined that one day she would stand at the very front, in the very center, and overcome any difficulties she faced. She wanted to become an idol admired by everyone.
