Donghai Film and Television Base, the filming site of "Produce 101".
After nearly a month of intensive training, a new competition begins.
But before the competition, the instructor team will re-rate the players in the five classes based on their performance of the theme song during this period.
The whole process is like a test.
During this process, someone was promoted from Class F to Class B.
There are also people who fell from Class B to Class F.
Soon, the five instructors took all the players to the final destination - the Class A practice room, and announced the rating results of the 11 Class A players present.
The contestants who can enter Class A are all the chosen ones who stood out from the initial 20,000 auditions, passed the preliminary examination among the 101 contestants, and finally reached the current results.
However, nearly a month of training quickly brought some of them back to their original form.
In the end, only five players were able to stay in Class A.
Their qualities are top-notch in all aspects. They are either the junior sisters of one of the Seven Sons of the Empire, or they are seed players who have debuted abroad. Their strength cannot be underestimated.
Except for these five people who successfully avoided relegation.
The other six players fell into Class B, Class C and even Class F.
Among them, Liao Meiqi is included.
Although for the past month, Liao Meiqi has been practicing dance in the practice room day and night.
However, during the final rating filming process, the dance movements were still slightly cramped due to a foot injury, which cast a shadow over the entire rating performance.
And today, the assessment results are made public.
Liao Meiqi's worries finally came true.
But unlike other contestants who failed to enter Class C and Class F, Liao Meiqi stayed in Class B.
As we all know, Class B players are all capable of competing for the throne.
Therefore, even though Liao Meiqi was demoted to Class B, she was still one of the focuses of everyone's attention.
"From now on, you will officially enter the second stage of "Produce 101", which is the performance stage!"
"The 101 players will be divided into 16 groups and compete in pairs. The winner will win a privilege related to a certain destiny."
After the instructor Chen Xiuyuan introduced the rules of the competition, he added: "The 16 competition teams will each have 16 girls as the C position, leading the team to victory. Now, I will announce the C position list of the 16 competition teams. Pay attention, and
Not the most capable person can become a C position. Although talent is important, diligence will not be absent either. Only with both can one become a truly strong person. Therefore, in addition to the 8 ability C positions, we also choose
There are 8 hard-working C-positioners!”
"From the first day you entered the "Produce 101" training camp, many trainees are still practicing on their own after class. We have called on the monitoring of each classroom to strictly count and verify the training status of all trainees over the past month...
…”
All the girls in the audience held their breath. After hearing the C-position rule, many people were surprised and beat their chests and felt regretful.
What is the C position? It represents the appearance rate and the focus of the audience!
If I had known this earlier, I should have spent more time in the practice room.
Soon, the 7 hard-working C positions were announced one by one.
"Now, let me announce the last one."
Chen Xiuyuan glanced at the restless scene and said: "Diligence C is number one, Liao Meiqi!"
All the girls looked at the stunned girl in the corner.
Liao Meiqi also couldn't believe it.
She didn't feel how diligent she was, she just felt like she did what she should do.
"Shanzhi's total practice time is a full 27 hours longer than the eighth place on the diligence list, 27 hours! What is the concept of this?"
"I almost don't sleep or rest, I keep practicing!"
"In the director's scenes, she never stopped to rest. She was practicing when others were eating and sleeping. When others were lazing around, she was also practicing. It is precisely because of such high-intensity practice that her legs
I had a cramp in my ankle and accidentally sprained my ankle."
Chen Xiuyuan looked at Liao Meiqi with admiration:
"I see in her the image of me when I debuted. Let me ask, if such a person fails, who else will succeed?"
"Is she really not as strong as Class A?"
"No, she not only has the strength of Class A, but is also a strong contender for the final C position of 101!"
"Everyone, believe me, when I saw her practice records, I felt the same as Teacher Zheng Yongxu did, full of confidence in her future. God will be happy for a player who is both talented and willing to work hard.
She smiles!"
"The reason why we downgrade such a player to Class B is not because her strength is not at the level of Class A, but because we have higher requirements for her! Believe me, after this performance, she will be
The brightest star among you!"
The whole place was silent.
Chen Xiuyuan's excitement was obvious, and his emotional outburst was almost exactly the same as his first singing and composition mentor Zheng Yongxu's performance after listening to "The Rest of the Life".
Obviously, this is another mentor who was impressed by Liao Meiqi.
Other instructors also praised Liao Meiqi.
For a moment, all the girls in the audience looked at Liao Meiqi with envy.
In the subsequent recruitment of 16 members of the competition team, except for the five most dazzling Class A contestants, almost all the girls immediately joined Liao Meiqi's team.
No one wants to win, and joining Liao Meiqi's competition group has a significantly higher chance of winning.
After assigning performances to each group, the trainees once again began intense training.
At this time, director Fu Yuntao stopped Liao Meiqi: "Shan Zhi, please stay for a while!"
The instructors were a little surprised by this scene, but they did not ask any more questions and filed out of the practice room with the players.
Soon, Liao Meiqi and the entire directing team were the only ones left in the room.
At this time, Mr. Fu Yuntao stepped forward, handed Liao Meiqi a bottle of water, and said softly: "I often see you secretly hiding in the corner crying in the surveillance video. What's wrong? Are you homesick? Or have you encountered any difficulties?
If you need anything, you can ask me. As long as it's not too much, I can agree to it. You don't have to look at me like this. Although I am a director, I am also a fan of your brother's books. I think it is better to help the idol's sister.
Xiao Zao, it’s still fine.”
Liao Meiqi hesitated a little.
But in the end she couldn't resist the temptation and whispered: "I...I want to call my brother."
"OK!"
Fu Yuntao waved, and the next moment, assistant Liu Hai quickly ran over with his cell phone in hand.
Liao Meiqi couldn't believe it, but she had to believe that the director, who had always been rigid and abiding by the rules, actually allowed her to talk to the outside world on the phone!
""Produce 101" will be broadcast tonight."
Fu Yuntao showed a kind smile: "After all, the program team is not from the secrecy bureau. As the popularity of the program increases, it is inevitable that the program's information will be exposed. I know you signed a confidentiality agreement, but I drafted this agreement. I formulated it
Of course, I have the final say. So just feel free to talk to your brother, no one will say anything as long as I am here."
Liao Meiqi always felt that the director had evil intentions, but she was mentally and physically exhausted at this time. After being demoted from Class A, she had vague thoughts of giving up.
In this situation, what she wanted to hear most was her brother's voice.
Finally, with Fu Yuntao's encouragement, Liao Meiqi made the call.
"Hello, who's there?"
A familiar voice came from the phone.
The softness in my heart seemed to be touched.
Liao Meiqi's eyes quickly turned red, and she turned her back. All her strength collapsed at this moment, and she cried: "Brother... I'm so tired..."
