How to become an ACE of a top boy group

"Personally speaking, both teams performed the song perfectly. The first team was more stable and mature, while the last team was bolder in their movements, and their handling really added points..." Lin Ka pondered for a moment, "If I had to choose which team was better, I really couldn't decide."

Several judges also expressed their approval of Lin Ka, and one judge said, "I think the last group's stage was better. The positioning duel tests reaction ability and the ability to deal with unexpected situations with one's own strength. Isn't the last group the most relevant to the theme?"

"Mr. He, if you put it that way, aren't you making stage performance sound like you're solving a problem? The fundamental difference in performance style lies in the dance's positioning! Whether it's well-done or not is the most important thing." One judge countered the previous person's point of view. "From this perspective, I actually think that the stage performance of 'The Night the Stars Fell' was the most visually appealing and comfortable..."

"Teachers, teachers, we haven't reached the best group selection stage yet!"

Seeing that the judges' topic was getting further and further off track, Zhu Qi quickly brought the process back on track, "Please, all the judges, vote for the best individual in your group first. As for the best group, you can think about it for a while before deciding."

"Alright, now, according to the current standing order, please press the button corresponding to the number you think is the best individual. Number one is contestant Lia..."

The voting for Best Individual concluded amidst the judges' discussions, but the debate continued, with almost every judge holding a different opinion on which stage was better.

At that moment, the other three groups of trainees in the lounge were also called out to announce the final results of the best group vote.

Luo Xi and the others walked back to the center of the square stage. Because the judges' discussion had not yet ended, filming was also suspended, and they waited for the judges to reach a consensus. Luo Xi stood on the stage for a while.

Once the results of this positioning battle are out, the second round of elimination filming will definitely begin. The trainees have already figured out this consistent filming pattern of the show.

She checked her vote count on the official website and found it had steadily surpassed 50,000, which was in the hidden vote count section.

Having already secured 50% of the points in the individual song selection task, Luo Xi has effectively widened the score gap to 10% compared to the half of the teams that failed in the individual song selection task.

Similar to the previous individual song selection victory mission, this time the system also issued two new mini-missions, including [Achieve Best Individual in Positioning Match] and [Achieve Best Team in Positioning Match], each with reward points.

The best individual award already belongs to Song Chuchu, and that task has turned gray with failure. There is also the task of "getting the best team in the positioning duel".

If you can win this stage, you'll get 1000 points, giving you an extra 20% advantage. If you can't win, you'll really have to rely on the voting points, which is another gamble.

"Okay, now our judges have all been decided."

Zhu Qi's voice brought Luo Xi back to his senses.

The cameramen below the stage focused on the stage, and the trainees who had been talking quietly immediately stopped and quickly got into shooting mode.

"Now, judges, please vote for these four groups of trainees according to your opinions. Just press the buttons on your tables. The first group is Song Chuchu, Song Wenchen, Zhang Muze, and Li Longxuan, who performed the song 'Love.' If you think their performance was the most outstanding, please press button number 1..."

Zhu Qi went through the voting process one by one, and after each group finished voting, he said, "Now please vote. The group that the judges consider the most regrettable will have one vote deducted from each group's vote count."

After a series of button clicks, the voting ended.

"So what was the final result?" Zhu Qi reached out to the projection wall on the side. "Please look at the results on the screen!"

As Zhu Qi finished speaking, the vote counts for all the drunkards were displayed on the projection wall. The first column showed the vote counts: Group 1: 6 votes, Group 2: 6 votes, Group 3: 2 votes, and Group 4: 8 votes.

"We...lost?"

"It's a tie?"

[Achieve Best Team in Positioning Match - Completed - 1000 Points Reward]

"?"

Luo Xi was confused by Song Wenchen and Song Chuchu's exclamations, as well as the contradictory numbers reported by the system.

"Didn't we have 6 votes, and didn't the fourth group have 8 votes?"

【There's more to come, Luo Xi, look behind you!】041 reminded her.

Looking more closely at the vote count, there is a second column showing the deducted votes. Luo Xi's first group had 1 vote deducted, the fourth group had 3 votes deducted, and so on. Therefore, the final vote count is 5 votes for the first group, 4 votes for the second group, 0 votes for the third group, and 5 votes for the fourth group.

Luo Xi's group received the same number of votes as the fourth group!

This result was within Zhu Qi's expectations. He continued to preside over the meeting in an orderly manner according to the plan. He was first surprised, "The first group and the fourth group have the same number of votes!"

Zhu Qi glanced at the judges, then pretended to go offstage to ask questions in front of the camera, making sure the suspense was built up before returning to the stage to announce the solution that had already been decided: "Then congratulations to the trainees of the first and fourth groups for winning the Best Group award!"

"However, since the competition stipulates that the 20% best group score is for five people, the production team has decided that the ten trainees will split the original score equally, that is, each person in the best group will get 10% of the score! Congratulations to the trainees in the first and fourth groups!"

They won, but only gained 10% of the points.

Luo Xi tallied it up and found that she and Song Wenchen both had 60% of the points. Now, they only needed to look at the ranking based on the recommendation votes, which accounted for 15% of the points.

The winning team members simply gathered together for dinner at a restaurant. The joy of winning only lasted for a short time. Soon, the next day, Luo Xi received a notification that she would be eliminated in the second round of filming.

We've returned to that qualifying stage, where the red azaleas used as background decorations are still in full, vibrant bloom.

There are fewer chairs on the steps now, only 24.

The 55 trainees wore their original uniforms again, and for some, this might be the last time they wear them after today.

They stood in rows, silent as if awaiting judgment.

"Hello, trainees."

The machine above started making noise again.

"Only 24 people will be able to stay this time."

"Now, I will begin announcing them in descending order. Those whose names are announced are the invited trainees. Please take your places. You have the right to continue competing for the treasure of this manor."

“Anyone whose name has not been released needs to leave this manor immediately.”

"First place, Gu Minxing, 50 points for individual song selection, 15 points for best individual in the positioning duel, 20 points for the winning team, 684.9 million recommendation votes, ranking first, total score of 100 points."

A cold, emotionless voice announced all the information quickly and without hesitation.

"Second place, Lu Yun, 40 points for individual song selection, 15 points for best individual in the positioning duel, 20 points for the winning team, 684.9 million recommended votes, ranking third with 14.55, total score of 89.55."

"Third place, An Kexin, 50 points for individual song selection, 15 points for best individual performance in the positioning battle... total score 89.38 points."

"Fourth place, Song Chuchu... total score 87.74 points."

……

Rosie waited.
