The grand and solemn studio hall where the first stage was built has been completely renovated.
There were only 55 seats left in the pyramid, and girls came here one after another and sat in the reserved seats under the pyramid.
The chairs for reserved seats are all transparent and without labels, while the chairs on the pyramid are marked with numbers from 1 to 55.
"The stage we haven't seen in a long time." When Wu Zixuan walked in, she couldn't help but smile with emotion.
"Are there only 55 people left? Half of them have to leave." Guo Xia said thoughtfully as she walked in and sat down.
"Half of the people are going to be eliminated this time!" Jiang Mengqi, who was feeling unsure, looked solemn.
"I'm so nervous, so nervous." Zhang Zijing, who experienced this kind of scene for the first time, couldn't help but say a few words.
"I'm so nervous, as if I'm about to announce my test results." Fan Lei's mind has not yet jumped to people in society.
Every girl is worried. They have learned about their popularity and last ranking from various channels, but this time the elimination is based on the ranking after yesterday's announcement.
The deadline for this ranking is this morning, and Penguin has not announced it online, so they don't know what their final result will be.
However, it can be roughly inferred based on the second episode of the program. The highly popular trainees are worried about their rankings, while the averagely popular trainees are worried about whether they can stay.
However, the most popular ones are those seven or eight, so most people are really anxious. Some people even start to break out in cold sweats as soon as they sit down, and some people close their eyes and tremble all over.
"Invite me, Long Zitao, the founder of Born Idol, will come on stage to announce the rankings."
The girls had just sat down when the announcer-like voice that only appeared in the first issue appeared in the hall.
The girls were immediately pleasantly surprised. Because Long Zitao had to film for the past few days, he had been away for a while. Everyone was very happy to hear that he was back.
"Look, his hairstyle has changed."
"Yes, I look so handsome today! I have combed my bangs."
"His makeup is so unique today."
"I like his earrings."
When Long Zitao walked onto the stage with powerful music, the girls talked a lot, not missing him but focusing on his clothes and makeup today.
He felt slightly proud of this, because he had spent a lot of money on today's look and had specially hired a master to help him do it.
With a smile on his face and a proud look in his eyes, Long Zitao stretched out his hand and gently greeted everyone.
"Wow! I really hope that 101 girls will praise me every day from now on."
As soon as his words came out, everyone laughed, and a lot of the tension in their hearts dissipated.
"However, the reality is cruel. We can only leave 55 people today."
Long Zitao's words suddenly brought everyone back to reality. Everyone's smile suddenly disappeared from their faces. Some people even felt sour in their hearts and had tears in their eyes.
"Hello girls born to be idols, today is a day that you and your creator care about most."
"Since the like channel was opened, you will be liked by creators every day. We would like to thank the founders for their support and attention! Thank you for being tolerant of them, whose performance is not perfect yet."
Following Long Zitao's words, everyone applauded and bowed to say thank you.
Long Zitao's words are not polite words, but a potential hint to everyone who follows this program that this program is a development program.
At the same time, he is also fighting back against those online fans who look down on Yigong’s stage.
With the popularity of the show, some of Penguin's rivals have begun large-scale black shows, reducing the 16 stage performances of one male to nothing.
In fact, from a professional perspective, each of the 16 stages is a top-notch performance among existing domestic girl groups.
However, there is still a certain gap when compared to the top Korean group stages in Asia.
But don’t forget, the Korean girl groups we can see are the most popular ones.
The dozen or so girls in these two groups also stood out from the hundreds of thousands of trainees in their countries.
If the girls from the Born Idol program were only grouped together based on their skills, they would definitely be able to form several teams that are not inferior to the former.
“Today we will officially release your like rankings in the first phase,”
The faces of the trainees became more solemn, some began to take deep breaths, some twirled their fingers, and some clenched their fists.
Whenever the camera focuses on a girl, the girl lowers her head involuntarily, completely unlike the confident and beautiful smile she showed in the first three episodes to steal the spotlight.
"The top 55 girls who received likes will continue to stay on this stage and will be re-classified based on their results. Starting from today, class F will be cancelled."
When the people in Class F heard this, they were all heartbroken. They were the least confident group of people.
"Now, we will start publishing your results."
Long Zitao's words made the girls feel very sudden. Is it released so soon? Doesn't it need some ceremony or something?
Although they know that this moment will eventually come, every girl is unwilling to accept the reality.
Lu Bingbing sat there with a solemn expression. She felt that this made her more nervous than the general election.
This is a truly fateful moment. After years of looking forward to it, hope is only in front of us.
Ye Yuwei was equally nervous. Although she knew she would not be eliminated, she was worried that Penguin would tamper with her ranking.
Many people say that ranking is not important. The most important thing is the performance of the girls. Everyone sees who is good and who is not.
In fact, this ranking can firstly show the show crew's attitude towards you, secondly, it can give fans confidence, and thirdly, it is related to whether you can attract more fans.
With a high ranking, the program team will naturally give you more shots in the future.
With a high ranking, fans' confidence in your debut will greatly increase, they will feel a sense of pride in their hearts, and they will be more willing to vote for you.
With a high ranking, those who will follow the show later will also focus on you. After all, you have many shots, and people are essentially willing to follow the strong.
come on! Come on!
After one girl shouted loudly, all the girls started shouting to cheer themselves up.
"First of all, I want to announce the members of Class D. The likes range from 41 to 54, a total of 14 people." Long Zitao's face also became serious.
The program team left number 55 in order to create suspense.
"Oh my God! I have to go to the toilet." Gao Ziyi muttered to Luo Qijia beside him.
However, Luo Qijia ignored her. The former's face was extremely solemn, and he sat upright with his mouth pursed.
Gao Ziyi's ranking after the second period was pretty good, but she also had no confidence in her appearance, figure, and technical level.
She said that just work hard and don't care about the results. In fact, she was very concerned about it in her heart. She wanted to continue on, but she really hadn't thought about her debut.
"The 54th ranked contestant from Class D is..."
There was silence in the entire studio, and some people who were extremely nervous couldn't help but grab the hands of people around them, as if they wanted to find a sense of security and gain strength.
"Xu Qianhua!"
As soon as Long Zitao's words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar. This person who was recognized as the number one singer in the entire base actually ranked 54th.
Some girls who thought they had higher rankings suddenly tensed up. Meng Meixuan even covered her face with her hands in surprise. What is Penguin doing? He's not acting according to common sense!
"Oh my God! How come Qianhua is ranked 54th?"
"The program team must have made a mistake! She sings so well."
"She is already 54, and I may not even be ranked anymore."
Xu Qianhua herself was stunned, her face turned pale in an instant, and she subconsciously grabbed the hands of Jiang Mengqi and Li Shihan beside her.
At the same time, the two people also increased their intensity. Obviously, Jiang Mengqi and the two could not believe the result.
"How come I am ranked like this? I am ranked like this."
With only this sentence left in Xu Qianhua's mind, she stood up from her seat, bowed and thanked her in accordance with girl group etiquette, and left.
"Come on Qianhua!"
“It’s great if you can get in!”
The girls started to cheer her up, and at this moment they seemed to share the same hatred.
Jiang Mengqi, Li Shihan and friends who were usually close to her all came over to hug her and express their thanks.
Jiang Mengqi was more envious of Xu Qianhua at this time. In her opinion, as long as she could get in, it would be fine and she would stay until the first episode of the show.
