After the first subject ended, the girls no longer attended classes in separate classes, but gathered together again.
A group of trainees were led by the writer sister to outside a classroom and waited for the leading girl to open the door.
The spacious and solemn auditorium classroom inside comes directly into view.
Produce's iconic logo, at the end of both sides, is an area with two large white steps.
One area is a place for girls to stand, form teams, line up, and be selected. It is also called the "selection area".
Then there is a white stepped area next to it, which is the area where the formed team will stand after the team members are finally selected, also called the "selection area".
Then at another place at the end, there is a pink-white wall, which is covered with song lists, but it is now blocked by a pink curtain.
This unknown sense of mystery will only arouse the excitement and excitement of girls.
And this layout feels extremely familiar.
"Oh?!"
"The second evaluation is here?!"
The next second, the trainees who had watched the show or participated in the first season had already reacted and immediately exclaimed.
Their hearts were filled with excitement and excitement.
Finally, the one who completely ignited all the trainee girls and made them crazy with excitement was the national producer representative - Lee Dong Wook.
His appearance will also completely kick off the second evaluation.
"Nice to meet you all."
"Aniaceyo~"
"Starting today, we will be evaluated with new tasks. Survival and elimination are at odds with each other in this evaluation—"
Li Dongxu smiled gently and simply stood here.
The kind of confidence that belongs to an actor, and a strong and calm aura.
With one blow, it hit the hearts of all the trainees, and the girls' hearts began to beat.
He paused for a moment, and in the expectant and frightened eyes of the girls, he revealed the answer:
"It's a combination evaluation."
"Coming, coming!"
It turns out that this day has finally arrived.
The second task, that is, the second grade evaluation! It is to form a team, select songs, and compete as a team.
That’s why today is also called “Music Grabbing Day”.
Only by grabbing the right song can you improve your survival rate, which is related to your votes and the victory of the team after forming a team.
So it’s not about choosing, it’s about grabbing!!
As Li Dongxu said the words "evaluation of group duels", you can see many trainees, their eyes suddenly changed.
His eyes were instantly filled with fighting spirit and a strong desire to win.
Lee Dong-wook, the national producer representative, continued to explain the rules of this second project evaluation:
"96 girls will be divided into 16 groups, with 6 trainees in each group. They will conduct group duel evaluations. A total of eight songs will be evaluated, which is exactly half."
"That is to say, two groups who choose the same song will compete with each other, and all members who win in the group duel, that is, the winning group, will receive 1,000 votes as a benefit."
The moment he almost heard the 1,000 votes, the trainee's expression had completely changed, and his scorching eyes could not calm down at all.
With so many votes, what is the difference between this and a recommendation?!
The completely hot hearts even made the girls forget that they were filming. Even the recording director could hear several "true feelings" sighs:
"Wow C..."
"Assi..."
"西八."
Li Dongxu seemed to have vaguely heard it, so he lowered his head to hide his smile. When he raised his head, his expression had returned to normal.
This is called professionalism!
Facing the shouting girls, his tone remained calm and gentle:
"From this second challenge, the national producers will personally evaluate, and then based on the results, the trainees from 1st to 58th will survive, and the trainees from 59th to the lowest level will be eliminated."
“58…”
"Wouldn't it be too cruel?!"
"Half? Directly? Nomu is cruel!"
What was supposed to come finally came.
If we just heard the word "duel", the girls' eyes showed the determination to win.
Now that I heard the words "1,000 votes" and "elimination", my eyes were full of passion and determination to win.
Especially the next words spoken by National Production Representative Lee Dong-wook: "Now the track will be publicly evaluated."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "boom" in the whole classroom.
As the pink curtain was pulled down, the eight song list above suddenly appeared in front of the girls.
"Ah!!!"
96 girls exclaimed together, and then stared at the "pink and white track wall" at the end——
「BOOMBAYA-BLACKPINK」
「Short Hair -A.O.A」
「Peek-A-Boo -Red Velevt」
"Very Very Very-I.O.I"
「LOVE WHSPER-GFriend」
Among them, there are five more than Peninsula songs.
Three cherry blossom songs:
「High Tension-AKB48」
「Like OOH AHH (Japanese ver)-TWICE」
"Mamma Mia -KARA"
They are said to be cherry blossom songs, but two of them are still songs by the Peninsula girl group, but the language has been adapted.
But whether it’s Peninsula trainees or Sakura girls, they don’t care about this anymore.
The girls’ eyes are fixed on these songs.
In my mind, I am already thinking about which song I am best at, the most outstanding, and the one that best reflects my charm!!
It is no longer a vote by the instructors, but a vote by national producers, that is, the citizens. That is more than the completion of the stage, but also popularity. Popularity depends on eye-catching strength and stunning performance.
The weight of the lens!
Strength? Lens?!
Team member! Position C!!
In this short moment, all kinds of thoughts flowed through my mind.
Finally, the trainees who grasped the key points looked at the songs arranged on the wall with bright eyes. They were already ranking the songs according to their proficiency and weighing the priorities.
First of all, we directly exclude songs in different languages without any hesitation.
After all, I don’t understand the language and I don’t understand it, so forcing myself to sing is a flaw.
So some people choose songs from their own country without any thought, which is a big advantage at the beginning.
So after finishing the track, almost at the same time——
The Peninsula trainees were very decisive and passed the Sakura song directly.
Sakura girl's words were not clear-cut, but showed a hesitant look in her eyes.
They also want to choose their own country’s cherry blossom song.
However, this track list obviously focuses more on "Peninsula Trainees". After all, the Sakura song that truly belongs to them is, to be honest, only one song by AKB48 - High Tension.
Even if you add those two songs, it’s still not enough.
The selection is too small and there are too many Sakura girls.
It is even more difficult to get a piece that suits your liking, so you cannot be passive. In addition to your favorite piece, you must have alternative songs. Even peninsula songs can be considered.
Sakura girls are very sincere towards the stage, just like the title song "It's Mine". As long as you memorize and learn it with your heart, you can still overcome it.
As long as you overcome it, at least you will have more options.
For example, in the first evaluation, Nako Yabuki, Sakura Miyawaki, and Hitomi Honda from Class A are the best examples.
"lrene..." Sakura's eyes were bright, and she was watching the song "Peek-A-Boo -Red Velevt" with longing.
Just when the trainees were weighing the music.
Next is another very important thing in the second level evaluation - combination! Team members! Team formation!
Since it is said that it is a team duel evaluation, it must be the selection of team members, which is the part of team formation.
Li Dongxu continued:
"The team member selection method is to select team members through random selection, in this way with unlimited possibilities."
As soon as he finished speaking, the girls reacted instantly.
"Woo~ Totally great!"
"It's not fair, but it's okay!"
"That's right! What if Sakura and I are in the same group? I'll be happy just thinking about it~"
The random drawing machine is similar to a lottery machine. The transparent cover is filled with small pink balls with the names of the trainees written on them. Then, by pressing the button, the "balls" are randomly shaken to randomly select the trainees.
"The selected trainee has the right to choose. He will come here and go to the machine, which is next to me, to make a choice. He will choose the name of the trainee who is in the same group as himself, call it out directly, and then be called
Trainees who arrive, just come over."
"Wow!! So fun!"
Amid the excited expressions of all the girls, Li Dongxu smiled and continued:
"Before the drawing, one more thing is that there will be a trainee who can be the first to choose the team member he wants. Yo Luobu, who is this trainee?"
"Center!"
"Miyawaki Sakura, Sakura~"
In "The Lonely and Brilliant Ghost", he played the role of senior Lee Dong-wook, the "messenger", standing on the side of the lottery machine.
When her name was called loudly, Miyawaki Sakura, who looked a little shy, stood on the other side with a microphone.
Sakura is the envy of everyone and the one that everyone wants to team up with.
But at this moment, Miyawaki Sakura was a little unhappy.
In the entire PD48, everyone knows who she cares about.
Even if the girl with the round head is just a D-level trainee, even if she is so bad at dancing that she often steps on the wrong feet of others, she will still choose without hesitation...
So the production team staff had told her in advance:
"Sakura-chan, you are absolutely not allowed to choose Jiang Xiaoliang."
So Sakura is very unhappy and depressed.
But the production team of PD 48 is also very helpless.
Let Miyawaki Sakura and Jiang Xiaoliang be paired together, one is the highly talked about, most popular, and stunningly beautiful Sakura girl, and the other is a super popular trainee who has captured the hearts of the people with her unique personality.
Just standing there, the two of them can beat any group in terms of popularity. The most terrifying thing is that it only takes them two!
There is no need to form other people, let alone form an "Avengers", the two of them can directly tear apart the heroes and fight against Thanos.
The "good and cool combination" is simply the strongest and scariest bug in Produce 48 this season. Whichever group they choose to face off will be cool.
Absolutely not, absolutely must be restricted.
Because she couldn't choose Xiaoliangjiang, Sakura was very troubled for a while, and then she decided softly:
"Sakura, the trainee I want is A-level Li Caiyan."
No doubt about it.
The first person she chose was her roommate Li Caiyan, who was also very gentle to her.
Although she was not chosen, the expressions of the other girls were very gloomy, but none of them felt particularly surprised.
The biggest surprise was not choosing Jiang Xiaoliang!!
"I was scared to death. I thought Xiao Liang was gone." - Cui Ruina.
"Huh?" Xiao Liang frowned.
"Huh~ Me too, I thought the cold sauce was gone, and I almost choked in fear."——nako.
"Eh?!" Liangjiang tilted her head.
How do you two girls manage to communicate seamlessly despite the language barrier?!
The girls who didn’t know about the restrictions imposed by the program crew, to be honest, their hearts were beating so fast that they were almost scared to death.
Even if she is not chosen, it is still better than Sakura choosing Jiang Xiaoliang.
Even the people in dormitory 233 were worried to death just now.
There is no way~~
If "Sakura-chan and Liang-chan" were a team, they would be worse than ghosts. They would just surrender and lose half of it.
"Liangliang CP" is a bug, and if you encounter it, it will be cool.
This is called dimensionality reduction, crushing popularity.
