The lights on the center stage gradually lit up one by one.

Accompanied by the lights and music, Jiang Ye slowly raised her eyes.

She was wearing a dress with tulle today.

Compared to the stage outfits of other trainees, her dress seemed too light and not very convenient for dancing.

However, when she raised her hand, ready to dance, everyone realized that a small butterfly, the same color as her dress, was drawn on the inside of her wrist.

The opening was a very peaceful piece of music.

Jiang Ye's dance steps were also not fast.

When she started singing the main part, the entire venue was stunned.

"When she woke up, she couldn't see the light."

"White lines wrapped around her, gently swaying."

"That was her small dwelling."

...

Jiang Ye's voice was very beautiful.

Compared to when she spoke, she seemed to have deliberately adjusted her singing voice, making it sound clearer and gentler.

But compared to Lin Zui's fast-paced dance music, her opening was a bit bland.

So, the trainee area below only stirred slightly, but quickly returned to calm.

Her vocal skills were good, but overall, she was still a bit inferior to Lin Zui.

Lin Zui was sitting in the rest area on the other side.

She was a little curious about this amateur trainee who dared to challenge her.

When she heard her choose a slow song, she shook her head slightly.

It was obvious that she had just brought a very mature girl group dance performance.

If Jiang Ye wanted to choose a slow song to compete with her in singing and dancing, although it could avoid the problem of clashing styles, it was clearly not a good choice.

... But she hadn't heard this song before.

It seemed like it was her original work?

Just as Lin Zui was thinking this, she suddenly noticed that the tempo of the song was getting faster.

Jiang Ye's dance steps had also quickly switched to a modern pop dance, the speed and timing were all very precise.

"It said you can't struggle, you can't go out."

"It said the outside world is dangerous and unpredictable."

"She living in a cocoon, grew more confused day by day."

...

Jiang Ye's skirt fluttered, like a drifting butterfly.

And the butterfly on her wrist seemed to come alive as she danced.

Through these lyrics and her dance, everyone else in the audience understood.

The "she" in her lyrics was clearly a butterfly.

After entering the second verse, the tempo of the song became faster, and the drums beat faster.

The original slow melody was completely integrated, and the mood of the song seemed to turn eight degrees, from the initial peaceful gentleness to intense confrontation.

After the chorus, the drums suddenly stopped.

Jiang Ye turned around gracefully and stood still.

The tulle on her dress fluttered as she moved, and for a moment, it was as if she was flapping the butterfly's wings.

Jiang Ye opened her mouth and sang a rapid rap.

"If dreams really have weight."

"Then how much does it cost to sell them?"

"She fantasizes about soaring into the sky one day, but it seems like it's just a fantasy."

"The cocoon keeps tightening, binding and restraining her."

"She finds that she can no longer find the way out."

...

Accompanied by this fast-paced rap, Jiang Ye's dance steps changed again, becoming a puppet dance.

Jiang Ye's eyelashes drooped slightly, her expression was dim, and every movement was like a deliberately manipulated mechanical puppet.

The ribbon wrapped around her wrist was like the cocoon silk that bound her, restricting her every move.

Every dance step seemed mechanical, but it precisely followed the beat.

The rapid drumbeat, the fast rap, made this puppet dance the undisputed highlight of the entire dance.

All the trainees in the audience were stunned.

This part was top-notch in terms of both technique and emotional rendering.

Even if it were judged against the mature idol's stage performances, it would definitely be top-tier.

Tan Meng could not help but widen her eyes.

Although she shared a practice room with Jiang Ye at the company and knew that she was going to perform an original song.

But her performance was several times better than when she practiced.

If Jiang Ye had not deliberately hidden her skills in front of her.

Then it could only mean that she was a natural performer.

Most people become more stage fright when there are more people in the audience.

But Jiang Ye was different.

The more people in the audience, the more cameras pointed at her, the better her performance, the more she wanted to express herself through performance.

Lin Zui also straightened her back unconsciously.

The casualness in her eyes was gradually replaced by seriousness.

The person on stage, her every dance step, every lyric, was like a wake-up call in her heart, telling her, you underestimated her.

In the mentor's seat, Yang Jingjing couldn't help but show an appreciative expression.

And Mu Xingchi, who seemed to have expected this, gently curled his lips.

The rap segment ended.

Jiang Ye seemed to click, waking up from the restraints, and stopped the puppet dance.

She sang while starting to untie the ribbon on her wrist.

"One day, she will find the right direction and move forward without fear."

"The traditional restrictions and frameworks are torn apart by her."

"Even though every cell in her body is saying it's tired."

"She will never back down."

...

As the ribbon on her wrist fell to the ground, one by one.

The song was also pushed to its final climax, layer by layer.

After this part ended, Jiang Ye's dance steps slowed down.

She slowly walked to the front of the stage and looked ahead again.

The melody of the song returned to its original state, peaceful and powerful.

"Countless nights, countless cycles."

"The sleeping people are still sleeping."

"The butterfly that has broken free is already spreading its wings and flying."

The final ending music was dragged out for a long time, but the tone was very gentle.

Like a quiet night, a brave and free night butterfly was quietly released in a deserted place.

At the final freeze frame.

Jiang Ye looked at the camera in front of her.

She was wearing deep blue contact lenses today, and there were two sparkling sequins at the corners of her eyes.

At first, everyone thought it was just ordinary decoration.

But after Jiang Ye blinked lightly, the sequins at the corners of her eyes were like a beautiful butterfly, reborn and flapping its wings.

Perfectly matching her stage.

The music ended.

The venue was silent.

In this brief silence, Jiang Ye's heart beat faster than ever.

She didn't expect that she would actually have the chance to bring this work to the public.

While performing just now, she was so immersed that she forgot her initial purpose.

The so-called battle win or loss, debut ranking, and even who took first place seemed less important on the scales of her life at that moment.

Another thought, screaming in her chest, gradually took over.

She just wanted to perform.

She just wanted to be on stage.

She just wanted to show herself to the world.

This was a desire she had since the day she decided to become an idol.

This song of hers is called "Breaking Free and Becoming a Butterfly".

It was the ideal version of herself.

However, when she wrote this song, she never thought that she would actually become this butterfly.

She gently flapped her wings, flying back to ten years ago, through the intertwined and entangled timelines of the future, and was about to unleash a whirlwind of her own, unprecedented in the Chinese entertainment industry.

From this day forward.

Her little spark.

Was about to become a wildfire.
