The teacher was slightly surprised when she heard that the two of them were going to prepare two different solo stages.

Generally speaking, in group talent shows like this, more emphasis is placed on the trainees' performance on group stages.

This is also in preparation for forming a group in the future.

After all, the program team wants to select a group, not the top x solo idols in the country.

But after Jiang Ye explained her reasons, the teacher agreed.

Their situation was special, and time was tight, so it was indeed better to separate than to prepare one show together.

Jiang Ye was completely relieved.

Talent shows are essentially a pure individual competition.

It's better to tear apart the facade of fake team spirit and secretly fight over parts, and instead, tear apart the peace from the beginning, be clear and distinct, and not owe each other anything.

Although Tan Meng didn't agree with the proposal at first, she quickly accepted it.

After all, for her, she could continue to focus on preparing her own show, rather than squeezing time to rehearse a new stage with a newcomer.

After that, Tan Meng's hostility towards Jiang Ye gradually diminished.

Although there was still a subtle competitive relationship between them, their paths, personas, and styles were different, which meant that their future fan overlap would be very low.

Their relationship gradually became more harmonious.

Although they weren't close, at least they could talk to each other.

Jiang Ye was always the earliest trainee to wake up.

Today, before she got out of bed, she heard a lot of noise in the hallway.

Tan Meng was woken up and said angrily, "Why are they leaving so early?"

She glanced at the time on her phone and couldn't help but roll her eyes, "It's only five thirty, are they letting people live?"

Jiang Ye usually lived a simple life between the practice room and the dormitory, and she had hardly interacted with the members of the neighboring dormitories.

She was stunned for a moment before saying, "Where are they going?"

Tan Meng covered her head with the blanket again, "They're going to the studio, to record Shining 101."

Jiang Ye then remembered.

Shining 101 was the earliest show to air.

Calculating the airtime, it was about time to start recording.

Jiang Ye couldn't sleep either, so she got up and casually asked, "Did they find someone to replace Yang Hua?"

"They found someone a long time ago."

"These days, it's not easy to find female idols who haven't been exposed, and there are plenty of trainees who want to break out."

Tan Meng poked her head out from under the blanket, looked at Jiang Ye who was lost in thought, and couldn't help but jokingly say, "If you want to change now, it's still possible. You can go with them."

Jiang Ye smiled back, "No need."

Even if she wanted to change, she couldn't.

Her name had already been submitted to the Chasing Light Girls program team.

She would also be preparing to enter the recording base in a month at most.

Jiang Ye flipped through her phone.

The online discussion about the show she was going to participate in wasn't very high.

To say it wasn't high was actually an understatement.

Objectively speaking, not only was it the lowest among the three shows, but its discussion level was also significantly lower than the other two shows.

Jiang Ye habitually opened today's entertainment forum and took a look.

This year's three girl group talent shows.

Shining 101 dedicated forum: 100,000 members.

Youth Has Dreams dedicated forum: 50,000 members.

Chasing Light Girls dedicated forum: 2,000 members.

Jiang Ye: "…"

She knew it was going to flop.

But she didn't expect it to be this bad.

Of course, it was understandable. The other two shows were promoting like crazy, and Chasing Light Girls hadn't even seen any publicity.

The water armies for the other two shows were already fighting each other.

They wouldn't even think of dragging them into the fight.

Maybe this is why, even though there were three talent shows, the flop show team always had no name.

The time was too far apart.

Even Jiang Ye couldn't help but think back.

Was Chasing Light Girls really a phenomenon-level variety talent show that year?

Did she remember wrong?

Jiang Ye was slightly dazed for a moment, then quickly took off her hair tie and tied her long hair neatly.

Forget it.

Anyway, since she had chosen this path.

There was no turning back.

The next day, in the practice room.

Before dance class, they usually stretched and warmed up their muscles.

While stretching, Tan Meng suddenly turned her head and asked, "Jiang Ye, did you hear?"

Jiang Ye: "What?"

"Didn't the Shining 101 trainees officially enter the studio to prepare for recording yesterday?"

"Someone seems to have broken into the studio specifically at the time when the trainees were entering."

"Ugh."

Jiang Ye pretended to be scared and shivered, casually asking, "Was it a sasaeng or an anti-fan?"

"Who knows?"

"That person was immediately taken away by security."

"Now everyone online is scolding the program team to strengthen security measures."

Tan Meng thought for a moment and speculated, "Could it be that the program team is directing and acting to hype the show?"

"It shouldn't be, who's that bored? Besides, it wouldn't hype anything."

Jiang Ye switched legs and guessed, "It's probably a fan of some trainee."

Tan Meng was still a little uneasy, "I hope we don't encounter this kind of bad luck when we enter the studio."

"You're overthinking it."

Jiang Ye was self-aware and reminded her, "Our show doesn't even have a popular contestant before it starts, where would we get crazy fans?"

Tan Meng: "…"

Although Jiang Ye didn't take the matter to heart, she was still puzzled for a while.

She didn't seem to remember hearing about anything happening during the recording of Shining 101 in her previous life.

"Why wouldn't there be any popular contestants?"

Tan Meng immediately retorted, "You don't know Lin Zui is coming?"

Jiang Ye was stunned, "Who?"

She tried to recall.

No way.

There wasn't this person in Chasing Light Girls in her previous life.

"Lin Zui, you don't know her? She was a girl group idol before."

"Didn't her group just disband this year? Several trainees participated in different shows, it was a complete breakup."

"But with her skills, she could easily solo debut with another company, I don't know why she came to this show."

"She's skilled and has her own fans."

Tan Meng reluctantly admitted, "If she really comes, she's probably locked in for a debut spot."

She muttered under her breath, "Maybe she'll be a strong contender for my center spot."

Jiang Ye: "…"

Even Tan Meng, the stubborn one, admitted it.

She sounded like a formidable opponent.

Taking advantage of the fact that the teacher hadn't arrived yet, Jiang Ye put her legs down and secretly took out her phone, quickly opening the discussion group for Chasing Light Girls on the forum.

Sure enough, the news that Lin Zui was coming was everywhere.

Jiang Ye had vaguely heard rumors in the group.

But she didn't take it to heart because she didn't remember this person from the show in her previous life.

Now that the news of her arrival was confirmed, a bunch of her fans suddenly flooded into the discussion group, opening posts to promote her, introduce her, and help hype the show.

Jiang Ye realized something.

Since she was reborn and left her original company, making some changes, the timeline of this world would also change accordingly.

Even a tiny change could lead to completely different directions.

She couldn't completely rely on her experience from her previous life to make deductions, because there were too many variables in the future.

Jiang Ye's fingertips unconsciously tightened around her phone.

Tan Meng saw that she was not in the right state and quickly leaned over to look.

"What's wrong?"

"I knew it, you're also browsing the dedicated forum every day."

Now the homepage was full of posts opened by Lin Zui's fans.

【Promotion丨All-around ace Lin Zui, welcome everyone to invest in her.】

【Promotion丨Let's get to know eight-year idol Lin Zui.】

【Giveaway丨Lin Zui C-position debut, draw an eyeshadow palette.】

Among them were curious questions from passersby.

【No way, Lin Zui is really coming? Doesn't that mean she's guaranteed to be the center and debut with a huge lead?】

Jiang Ye thought for a moment and asked, "... What's Lin Zui's background?"

Tan Meng thought for a moment and reluctantly said, "I don't know much, I just heard that she's really strong."

"Although her original group didn't have many fans, our show doesn't have many viewers either."

She counted on her fingers, "Based on the viewership of our show, about fifty people who are willing to spend money and fifty data workers can send her to debut."

Jiang Ye: "…"

Jiang Ye scrolled down.

【Place your bets, let's see the odds now.】

There were actually people who were bored enough to make a probability prediction.

Jiang Ye clicked in and took a look.

Lin Zui's current probability of debuting was 99.9%, and her probability of debuting as the center was 89%.

In other words, almost everyone thinks she's going to debut.

She scrolled down for a dozen posts and saw Tan Meng's name.

Although she didn't have fans before, she was one of the few who had decided to go to Chasing Light Girls early on.

Plus, she had been actively operating her various social media platforms and she was really quite sweet, so her probability of debuting was also predicted to be 50-50.

"Who do they think they are?"

Tan Meng was very dissatisfied, "Only 56%. Please, do these people have any taste?"

Jiang Ye ignored her and continued to scroll down.

She scrolled until her fingers were about to break, and finally, at the very bottom, she saw her name.

Jiang Ye, debut probability 0.017%.

A thoughtful note next to it showed the odds.

1 to 600.

Jiang Ye: "…"

Tan Meng: "…"

"I told you these people have no taste!"

Before Jiang Ye could speak, Tan Meng angrily spoke first, "I told you, don't mind them. We'll see who's better when we're on the show."

Jiang Ye wasn't surprised by this probability prediction.

She was just a pure amateur.

Besides the company name and her name, there was no other information about her online.

Not to mention that Shengrui Entertainment wasn't a big company.

Tan Meng's popularity was also far above hers.

Generally speaking, those who are the company's main focus or those with outstanding abilities, wouldn't they start hyping themselves up months before the show starts?

For someone like her, anyone would think she had no chance of debuting.

Jiang Ye stared at her last place, propped her chin up and thought for a moment, "Do you think anyone can really open a betting pool?"

Tan Meng: "?"

Jiang Ye was in a good mood, "I want to bet a hundred on myself first."

Tan Meng: "…"

•••

On the other side of the city.

"Give up, He Zhou."

"You went to that Haishang Entertainment company, and she wasn't there."

"I gave you the list of contestants for this year's Shining 101, and you've seen it."

"You even broke into the recording studio, and you still haven't found her."

"I'm telling you, if I hadn't gone to get you out, you would have been waiting to be reported to the police by the program team, you know that?"

Inside the room, a young man paced back and forth, finally unable to bear it anymore, "No, I'm saying, who are you looking for?"

Opposite him, a man was sitting and looking at his computer.

He was focused on scrolling with his mouse and didn't pay attention to his friend's question.

"You won't say, will you?"

"Fine."

The young man spread his hands, "Then you can at least tell me why you're so eager to find her? What's so urgent that you need to find her so desperately? Is she your long-lost sister or something?"

"..."

The person opposite him expressionlessly closed the webpage.

After a while, he said softly, "I just want to tell her some things."

"If she's willing to believe me."
