How to become an ACE of a top boy group

Meanwhile, even though the production team informed the other trainees that they would have a half-day off after rehearsals to rest and conserve their energy for the concert the following night, most of them didn't dare to actually relax.

These young trainees were filled with varying degrees of tension, fear, anticipation, and excitement, which meant that they would be in a state of high excitement for the dozen or so hours leading up to the concert.

Gu Minxing and Liu Jibai finished their final rehearsal and walked together toward the stadium exit.

The two walked in silence for a while, then Liu Jibai said to his teammates, "I saw a lot of people talking to the staff about starting a live stream tonight to campaign for votes. Should we do one too? Maybe the concert voting will boost our popularity?"

“Sure,” Gu Minxing asked. “Then I’ll go back and report to the staff now. Where would you like to do the live stream? Here, at the hotel, or somewhere else?”

"Let's just stay at the hotel. Nothing too complicated. Getting too tired might affect tomorrow's performance. Just a simple interaction with the fans."

"Okay, I'll go prepare now. You go back and change your clothes first."

"Ah."

After spending time together, Liu Jibai realized that Gu Minxing was the kind of person who didn't talk much but would work very hard to get things done. So he stopped using words to embellish their relationship and now tried to keep his conversations brief, just like his own personality.

To be honest, Liu Jibai felt very annoyed and he didn't want to be in the same group as Gu Minxing at all.

According to the rules for debuting boy groups, two people of the same type would naturally have conflicting roles. It is known that Gu Minxing will definitely debut. In fact, the lead vocalist position in the five-member new boy group has already been decided, unless Mo Ri intends to highlight the new group's singing ability and give Liu Jibai a lead vocalist or sub-lead vocalist position.

If that's the case, the production team wouldn't have paired him with Gu Minxing. Instead, they should have given him a weaker or different teammate so he could perform and build popularity and fans for his debut. Instead of the current situation where he's on stage with Gu Minxing, who has equally excellent singing skills and a large fan base, no matter how he performs, he'll most likely be overshadowed by Gu Minxing in the end.

What exactly does the production team mean...? Are they using him to pave the way for Gu Minxing? Liu Jibai clenched his fists.

Song Chuchu started a live stream on the sofa in her hotel room.

He hadn't really managed his account much before; he only opened it after participating in the show "Mo Ri," and it didn't have many followers.

Fortunately, as long as the live stream title includes phrases like "my favorite 101 trainee" which are currently very popular on various platforms, the number of viewers in the live stream will skyrocket.

"Hello everyone, this is me. Yes, I'm campaigning for votes for myself. Remember to vote for me, Song Chuchu."

Song Chuchu, sitting on the sofa, clipped her bangs back to her head, wore glasses, and ate her homemade avocado salad dinner while responding to live comments.

"The streamer's hairstyle is so cute! Hehe, thank you. Is the streamer a cat in disguise? What do you think? Of course not!"

"Lee Yong-hyun? He's in another room; we don't live together. Ask him to do a live stream? Forget it, that lazybones is probably sleeping."

"He never shows up except when we're practicing and rehearsing. I've never seen anyone sleep so much, but our results are pretty good. You can look forward to it."

"Are you waiting to vote for Song Chuchu and Li Longxuan? You don't need to vote for him, he doesn't need it. Just give me the vote you would have given him."

"I'm eating a salad because I'm getting ready for a performance, so this is all I can eat."

"It's a secret, but remember to vote for me!"

"A debut pact? What do I have to do to get votes for me?"

"Can we skip this?"

"You won't give me a vote if I don't do this?? That's too much!"

Yin Wenhe and Chen Zui did not choose to go live because the negative news about Chen Zui had been spreading uncontrollably. The company told Chen Zui to keep silent and not to show his face online casually. So the two of them chose to go back to the hotel and find a place to continue practicing to create the best performance so that the company could clear Chen Zui's name in the future.

On stage, some people stayed even after the rehearsal ended.

An Kexin was taking photos with Ming Ning on stage. The two had gotten along very well these past few days. An Kexin had temporarily put aside the grudge that had inexplicably arisen and recognized Ming Ning as a hardworking teammate.

Looking at the photo, An Kexin said somewhat sadly, "Why does my face look a little chubby compared to yours?"

"No, I think it's because I'm too thin," Mingning said.

"Hmm... I do think you're a bit thin right now and should eat more for your health. But you look just right on camera!"

An Kexin reached out and pinched Ming Ning's cheek. "You have such a thin, small face. I'm so envious. Why is my face so round?"

"Your face isn't round at all! A slightly rounder face actually makes you cuter and suits your image better, so please stop doubting yourself. You do have a jawline, it's just that your face looks bigger when you compare the two of you?"

"Waaah..." An Kexin was clearly not comforted. "That's how it looks on camera. Sigh, I really should stop eating before tomorrow's performance. Maybe I'd look thinner that way?"

"We can ask the nutritionist when we get back."

"that's right."

On the other side of the stage, because Ning Li was too worried and uneasy, Lin Sheng and Ning Li continued to enter and exit the stage again according to their positions after the rehearsal was over, practicing finding the camera.

Qin Feng and Ye Zhixi took a photo together and will post it to their fans later to respond to the "Fengye CP" (a popular pairing of Qin Feng and Ye Zhixi). Zhang Shuaizhen saw this and imitated their pose, pulling Liu Minneng to take the same funny photo.

Backstage, Mai Lai and Liya were talking about the performance. Because they have similar personalities, they communicate and cooperate very well. They were discussing how to make the performance even better, and gradually they even started talking about their own musical insights.

Le Jing, Annika, Song Wenchen, and Shi Chu are doing a live stream together. Because there are four of them, they have a large number of fans, and the number of viewers is constantly increasing.

"Are our red ropes still tied? Of course they are, all three of us are tied."

"Could we ask Ronxi to come? We already called him, but he said he had to go and revise their choreography. He's probably still practicing now. Sigh, he's really put in a lot of effort in this. In order to present a better stage for the recommenders, we won't be able to see him today. We'll see him properly on stage tomorrow."

Comments started flooded with "Go Miracle Brothers!"

"Don't worry, recommenders! We will definitely not let you down. We will give you our best performance no matter what!"
