What to do?

Jiang Ye pondered over the comment section for a while.

To be honest, she was actually in a good mood, and she was not too affected by the negative comments.

It's more like, compared to her previous life, where she stood in a corner with no light and no attention.

She would rather be in a place where she could be seen, accepting all possible negative evaluations.

But the problem was, there were far more people who disliked her than those who liked her.

If this negativity snowballed, she wasn't sure if her debut journey would go as smoothly as she thought.

But on the bright side, it seemed that most people couldn't find any flaws in her.

So, they could only keep saying things like, "She's so young, she's so arrogant, she's so confident, she must be a royal family member protected by the program team.".

Royal family?

Jiang Ye rolled her eyes in her heart.

Two lifetimes, and she also wanted to be a royal family member once.

Unfortunately, the title of royal family would never go to her.

But no matter what, for Jiang Ye at this stage, having initial buzz was a good thing.

Whether these speculations and evaluations were good or bad, this buzz should last until the first episode aired five days later.

She believed that by then, she would be able to speak with her stage skills.

If the initial evaluation in the first episode didn't go well, there was still the theme song stage.

If the theme song stage didn't go well, there was still the first performance.

As long as there were no fatal flaws in her, she would have a chance to turn things around until the second performance.

If these opinions could not completely swallow her up and suppress her.

They would only become the foundation stones for her to ascend to the top.

Realizing this, Jiang Ye's mood brightened, and she even silently liked all the comments praising her with her small account.

"Jiang Ye."

Cheng Zhen came in from outside, "The dormitory manager said it's time for the official photos."

"Here, I put the uniform here for you."

Jiang Ye put away her phone, sat up, and looked.

Their uniforms were light blue, and the overall design was quite convenient for the trainees to move around in.

Jiang Ye put on the uniform, lined up, and prepared to take the official photos.

"Okay, three, two, one, done."

The photographer glanced at Jiang Ye in the viewfinder, "You're smiling so happily."

Jiang Ye didn't answer directly, but smiled and said, "Teacher, you've worked hard."

Of course, she had to smile happily.

After all, five days later, this official photo would appear on the voting page as her profile picture.

Jiang Ye wanted her fans to at least see her photo and feel better when they were staying up late and working hard to vote.

As an idol, the most important thing is to bring energy to fans.

No matter what her own mood was.

The state she presented to fans must be the best.

•••

Two days later, all sixty trainees came to the auditorium.

"Now, we're releasing the second stage task."

Mu Xingchi said, "Theme song assessment."

"You have forty-eight hours to complete the program theme song practice independently."

The large screen next to him responded, and began playing the program theme song video.

The theme song is called Chasing Light, it's three and a half minutes long, not long, but there are many movements to memorize, especially the first and second choruses, many details are different.

Many trainees cried out in despair.

Even Jiang Ye frowned slightly.

Mu Xingchi: "But I want to remind you that no teacher will help you this time, so you need to learn the entire dance by yourselves."

After all, the format of Chasing Light Girls emphasizes the trainees' independence and self-growth in every aspect.

But the trainees who weren't good at dancing instantly collapsed.

"No way."

"Did I hear wrong? Does this mean we have to learn it all by ourselves?"

"Forty-eight hours is not enough."

"Quiet."

Mu Xingchi said, "Forty-eight hours later, we will record the theme song direct shots, and we will divide the ranks for the first time based on your direct shots."

"Finally, there will be five people in the A class, ten people in the B class, fifteen people in the C class, and thirty people in the F class."

"And the five people in the A class will have the right to compete for the theme song stage C-position."

Jiang Ye's heart skipped a beat.

The theme song stage C-position, commonly known as the initial C.

It's the first C-position produced in a talent show before the voting channel opens.

The potential attention and traffic this position holds is self-evident.

It's also the coveted seat for all the trainees who want to debut as the C-position.

After the task was released, Mu Xingchi left.

All the trainees went to different practice rooms according to their initial evaluation ranking.

The top five were naturally assigned to the same practice room.

Jiang Ye wasn't very familiar with the other five, and they were all strong contenders for the initial C-position at this point in time, so the atmosphere was a bit subtle.

Xue Zhihan broke the silence and said gently, "Let's watch the video first, then do we practice by ourselves or together?"

Jiang Ye: "By ourselves."

The other trainee next to her said, "I also prefer to practice by myself."

Xue Zhihan: "..."

This wasn't what Xue Zhihan expected.

This dance wasn't very difficult for her.

So, she hoped to create a storyline of working hard with her teammates during practice, establishing a persona for herself.

Good heavens.

It turned out that all the people in her practice room were big shots.

None of them needed her to lead.

Xue Zhihan could only say, "Okay, let's separate then."

Jiang Ye breathed a sigh of relief and noticed that there was a countdown clock hanging in the practice room.

It was like urging them to make the most of their time and complete the task within forty-eight hours.

In the top five's practice room, every trainee had a tablet and practiced by themselves.

Although they were in competition, there was nothing to avoid in terms of practice time, almost everyone was immersed in their own world.

So, Jiang Ye could tell most people's level with a glance.

The top five here were basically the top five who had fought their way to the top, and their overall abilities were indeed all very similar.

It wasn't difficult for them to practice a dance for forty-eight hours.

Because of this, everyone was determined to fight for the initial C-position.

Jiang Ye, on the other hand, seemed a bit too relaxed.

At nine o'clock in the evening, she even took a break and went back to the dormitory.

She was surprised that Cheng Zhen had also returned.

"Finished learning?"

"How is that possible?"

Cheng Zhen lay on the bed, her tone listless, "I have to say, it's a bit difficult."

Her talent skill points weren't in this area, she had no problem with vocals or instruments, but learning girl group dances was indeed a bit difficult.

She yawned, "I'm tired after a whole day, I'm going to sleep now, goodnight."

Jiang Ye: "?"

She glanced at the time and reminded her, "It's only two days."

"I know."

"I've already thought about it, if I go to the F class, then I go to the F class."

Cheng Zhen nodded, very unambitiously, "The dormitory manager said that this re-evaluation won't change dormitories, so I don't have any strong feelings about it."

Jiang Ye: "..."

As expected of Cheng Zhen, who chose sixtieth place for herself.

She was really content with her lot.

Alright.

Cheng Zhen didn't have the will to strive.

But she did.

Jiang Ye thought, she had basically finished practicing the theme song in the first day, spending five or six hours.

Actually, she just needed to spend some time tomorrow to polish some details.

But the problem was, her goal wasn't just to get into the A class.

She wanted to get the initial C.

This position was very crucial for her.

Because the initial C didn't just represent the C-position for the theme song stage.

More importantly, it represented the person that the public would see when they first watched the show.

Her buzz, attention, and traffic would undoubtedly be the highest during that time.

Jiang Ye felt that she had to fight for this opportunity.

And besides the competitors around her now, there would definitely be others who could come up.

Like Lin Zui.

She wouldn't easily give up this opportunity either.

After all, she had already failed once in the initial evaluation.

This was her chance to turn things around.

So, Jiang Ye took her things from the dormitory and went back to the practice room.

She had gone back to the dormitory to give the others around her a signal, making them think she was ready to call it a night.

Then, the others might be influenced by her, thinking that they were almost done practicing.

And after a few hours, she came back to practice late at night and think about how she could add some of her own creativity to the original dance.

But she was surprised that almost all the practice rooms were lit up, forming a sea of light in the darkness of the night.

It seemed like many people were working hard for this hard-earned opportunity.

When she passed by, Jiang Ye first passed the last practice room.

This was the practice room for the trainees who were ranked fiftieth to sixtieth in the initial evaluation by the mentors.

She glanced inside through the door.

It was almost midnight.

Almost all the trainees had left.

After all, these trainees didn't really have the desire to fight their way up, they just wanted to be a runner-up and take it easy.

The only person left in the practice room was Tan Meng.

She had tied her hair up with a headband, and her face was wet with sweat.

She looked very tired, and her complexion wasn't very good.

Only her eyes, with their unyielding spirit, were exceptionally bright.
