After rebirth, the system helped me debut as the center

In the spacious basketball hall, sunlight shines through the tall windows onto the smooth floor, creating mottled shadows. Sixty-one trainees stand there in neat rows, their eyes still filled with anticipation and nervousness.

This is the first time that the trainees have gathered here since the first ranking was announced.

With forty people gone at once, the basketball hall seemed to become larger and more spacious.

Ji Yunqi pushed open the door of the basketball hall and saw the trainees standing neatly according to their current rankings. He waved to them enthusiastically, "Classmates, long time no see. I missed you so much~"

"We miss you so much too~hahaha~" the trainees were amused.

"Teacher Ji, it's a waste of talent if you don't perform a skit at the Spring Festival Gala!" A trainee couldn't help but say loudly, which drew a lot of laughter. Indeed, Teacher Ji's sense of humor and expressiveness are really good, especially his playfulness and spirituality.

Ji Yunqi smiled and waved his hands, pretending to be modest and said: "No, no, I'm just an amateur, how can I be compared with those professional actors." However, the corners of his mouth that were curled up wildly proved that he was in a good mood and revealed a bit of pride.

Following Ji Yunqi's footsteps, the staff pushing nine signs entered the basketball hall. The nine signs were like nine mysterious doors, attracting everyone's attention.

The trainees' eyes followed the staff's footsteps. When they saw the familiar song titles on the signs, the entire basketball hall seemed to be ignited in an instant, with screams and cheers rising one after another.

"Ahhh, it's hot blood! I love it so much!"

"And it's burning! It's on fire!"

"I want to choose diamond. The stage must be sparkling!"

"The song selection is amazing, we must be the best talent show, I love the production team."

I have to say that the song selection level of "Chasing Lights" program team is really good. From the beginning of the song selection in the first public performance, it has been eye-catching.

The songs selected for the second public performance are both popular and unconventional, catchy but not just clichés. Their melodies are beautiful and the lyrics are artistic, which makes people constantly discover new surprises in the process of repeated listening.

Ji Yunqi stood in front of the trainees and said, "Congratulations to our 61 trainees for successfully getting the opportunity to perform for the second time."

But immediately, he changed the subject, "After the first ranking is announced, all votes have been reset and the counting will start again. Only the top 32 trainees will be able to stay in the show and participate in the third performance. This means that after the second ranking is announced, 29 of the trainees present will be eliminated."

"Wow!" This terrible elimination rate is really shocking. The trainees currently ranked around 30th place or even after 30th place felt nervous and felt that they were teetering on the edge of danger.

Ji Yunqi continued to announce the rules, "The second performance is a position evaluation performance. Each trainee will choose one of the three positions of vocal, dance, and rap as their main position based on their own strengths.

As you can see, among our 9 songs, there are 5 vocal songs and 4 dance songs. Trainees who choose rap should choose vocal songs, but they need to create the rap part of the song by themselves. The dance group can use the dance demo provided by the program team, or they can adapt it by themselves. Do you understand?"

"Got it!" The trainees responded loudly.

Compared to the comprehensive selection of songs in the first public performance, the song selection in the second public performance is obviously more targeted.

Such song selection undoubtedly provides a broader stage for those trainees who are only good at one aspect. They may have their own strengths in dancing, singing, rapping, etc., but they find it difficult to be all-round.

The songs selected for the second public performance are like weapons tailor-made for them. On the stage of the second public performance, they can bring their talents to the fullest and shine in the fields they are good at.

Ji Yunqi suddenly started calling out names, "Trainee Hao Tiantian, what do you think the numbers under the song represent?"

Hao Tiantian's name was suddenly called, and she blinked faster. "I originally thought it should be the number of people in each song, but the total of 9 songs is not 61, so I'm not sure..."

Ji Yunqi nodded in agreement, "Yes, the number below each song is the number of people."

The staff then put out two more signs, one for a six-person vocal song and one for a five-person dance song, but the song titles were blocked and could not be seen.

"The second performance song selection will start from the 61st trainee Lin Yun, and everyone will choose their favorite song."

Ji Yunqi continued, his eyes smiling but his words stabbing like knives, "However, this time the song selection is not limited by the number of people. The top trainees will choose songs at will, and the lowest ranked trainee among the songs they choose will make a second choice among the songs with vacancies.

When the trainees in the debut position, that is, the trainees ranked eleventh, start to make their choices, the trainees who are squeezed out of the team will only be able to choose one of the two blind box songs provided by the program team.

The top eleven trainees have a special privilege: the highest ranked trainee will automatically become the center of the stage for that song."

The trainees in the lower rankings were undoubtedly shocked at the moment, with pupils trembling. According to the published rules, even if they had their favorite songs in their hearts, they still could not escape the fate of being replaced at any time.

Moreover, the program team has released a message that the selection of the C position on the stage will be more inclined towards trainees with higher rankings.

This feeling of powerlessness has made them realize the importance of rankings as never before.

In this cruel and realistic arena, rankings are not just a symbol of numbers, but also a symbol of strength and opportunity.

Only by standing at a higher position can you have more choices and possibilities. Once you fall into the lower circle, even if you like the song very much, you may be ruthlessly deprived of the opportunity to perform it because of the ranking.

"Then trainee Lin Yun, please choose your favorite song." Ji Yunqi looked at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun raised the microphone, "I choose the vocol position, the song is "Courage." Even if she knows that she will be replaced at any time, just like the song she chose, she is willing to muster up the courage to try all possibilities.

The trainees were selected one after another, and some were forced to leave popular songs, and some even switched from vocal songs to dance songs, and from dance songs to vocal songs again.
