How to become an ACE of a top boy group

After the director finished speaking, all the questions came from the trainees.

"Can you play all the demos now so I can listen to them?" Zhang Shuzhen asked, and the people around him also chimed in, urging him to play some songs.

"Is the ability to digest concepts something that everyone has to demonstrate? If not, will there be any point deductions?" Qin Feng asked.

Annika pondered, "Probably not, right? Isn't the debut 100% based on the voting rankings? But if that's the case, what if someone doesn't perform according to the given 'topic' and instead takes a shortcut by using their most familiar style?"

"Wouldn't it be too difficult for just two people to go on stage? Some of them may have concert experience, but I've never actually performed on such a big stage before. Can't we add a few more people?" Ning Li's voice sounded like she was about to cry.

"Don't cry, Ning Li baby... I feel like crying too when you're like this." An Kexin looked at Ning Li sitting next to Liu Jibai and reached out to comfort him.

"Everyone, please don't get excited yet. Let me finish what I have to say. The Q&A session will be later. After I finish speaking, I will let you ask questions and answer them, okay?"

After receiving affirmative answers and silence from the trainees, the director continued:

"As I just mentioned, our 24 trainees will be divided into twelve groups, so we have created 0-12 unnamed demos, including choreography. Each song is created based on the concept we assigned to the trainees. Only by performing according to our concept and tasks can you perfectly perform the song. You need to digest the concept given to you by the program team, and even more so, you need to digest the concept of the song or choreography itself."

As the director spoke, he glanced at the trainee who had just asked to hear the demo.

"Due to time constraints, and the fact that the song's creators are not here, it's not easy for me to explain the concept of each song to every trainee. Therefore, I won't be playing the demo here. I will only give the trainees a preliminary overview of the task assignments. As for the specific details, we will arrange for the teacher who produced this song to communicate with you tomorrow. Don't worry, the subsequent work will be completed by you all together, and you will have plenty of time to understand."

"Let me give you a brief introduction to these songs, and tell you about the grouping and concept digestion style that the production team discussed."

The director looked back at the documents in his hand:

"The first song, number 01, has an outline that describes the beginning of love like the dawn, the starting point of a beautiful wish. The key word is wish. This song is performed by trainees Song Chuchu and Li Longxuan."

"Me and him? Are you kidding me?!" Song Chuchu jumped up and exclaimed when she heard her name linked with the person she least wanted to be associated with.

"This is the result after the production team has considered and discussed it. It is the result with the most contrast and variety show appeal. There will be no further changes. We hope you can accept it."

The director looked at Song Chuchu and smiled, saying, "Being able to get along and cooperate with different teammates in various situations is also a form of growth for Song, isn't it?"

"Okay, okay, I know, stop talking!"

Song Chuchu was extremely impatient with the director's explanation, and held her head in her hands, not wanting to listen anymore.

Lee Yong-hyun, on the other hand, looked dazed and as if he hadn't woken up properly.

The director handed the task cards to Song Chuchu's desk and said, "The production team is giving you two a concept style to work with. Song Chuchu's style is elegance, while Li Longxuan's style is purity."

"...Innocent? Crazy?" Although Lee Yong-hyun was lost in thought, he was still listening and softly uttered these words.

"Yes, the concept and style given by the production team are based on the image you have never shown in the show before, focusing on contrast and variety show appeal. Li's reaction now means that our plan has been very successful."

"Why did I even participate in this show..." Lee Yong-hyun asked himself helplessly.

The director ignored the two who were questioning their existence and continued speaking, handing out task cards to the next group.

"Number 12, the outline is 'Immersed in an inescapable dream, and endless cycles of reincarnation,' the keyword is reincarnation, and it will be performed by trainees Gu Minxing and Liu Jibai. The concept style of Gu Minxing is wild and Liu Jibai is cute."

"It's such an honor to work with Teacher Gu again!" Liu Jibai took the initiative to call out to Gu Minxing.

"Hmm," Gu Minxing simply replied.

"I can't wait to see the adorable Ji Bai!" An Kexin said, clapping enthusiastically.

"Number 02, the outline is 'To win your love, I will put in double the effort,' the key word is 'effort,' and it will be performed by trainees Duan Feifei and Shen Yunhao. The concept style is cute for Duan Feifei and handsome for Shen Yunhao."

"Number 11, the outline is 'Trying to escape but unable to escape a dream, only sinking deeper,' the keyword is dream, and it will be performed by trainees An Kexin and Ming Ning, with a concept style of wild x sexy."

"What exactly is 'wild'?" An Kexin took the mission card, but the smile on his face couldn't be maintained.

Ming Ning simply looked at the mission card in An Kexin's hand without saying a word.

"Number 03, the outline is 'Because the distance is too far, I can only run at all my might to reach it,' the keyword is struggle, and it will be performed by trainees Mai Lai and Liya. The concept style is wild x cool."

"Number 10, outline is 'Because the distance is too far, I can only run at full speed to reach it,' keyword is struggle, 'by Zhang Shuaizhen and Liu Minneng, concept style is sexy x cute.'"

"Hahahaha what? Hahaha, you two are making me laugh." Lu Yun laughed. "Sexy? Cute? Abstract art has gained two more generals. Looking forward to your performance!"

Zhang Shuaizhen forced a smile as she accepted the task card. Liu Min, thinking herself sexy, asked, "Who's cute, you?"

"you."

"What?" Liu Min took the task card in disbelief and looked at it. Lu Yunye, Zhixi and the others burst into laughter.

"Number 04... Ye Zhixi and Qin Feng... Pure x Elegant."

"Ah, I can't escape it either. Do you guys all give rap a pure image?" Ye Zhixi complained.

“Number 09... Rakyo and Annika... Elegant x Cute.”

"Number 05... Song Wenchen and Shi Chu... Sexy x Elegant"

"...08...Yin Wenhe and Chen Zui...Wild x Elegant"

"...07...Lin Sheng and Ning Li...Elegant x Cool"

After waiting for a long time, Luo Xi finally saw him.

"Number 06, outline is 'Too lonely, too eager, so I am willing to be seduced by you, even knowing it is an unhealthy love, I am willing to succumb,' keyword is dance together, will be performed by trainees Lu Yun and Luo Enxi, concept style, Lu Yun is pure, Luo Enxi is sexy."
