Chapter 121 The Night of Formation Begins
The night of the group's formation.
The first shot of the live video was the triangular tiered seating area that appeared in the first episode of season 6 of Morning Star. Then, a head popped into the frame, and it was none other than Li Xiaodong, whom everyone is familiar with.
He seemed surprised to be the first one to arrive at the show. He walked in somewhat bewildered, then looked around and realized that he was the only one there. It was as if he had discovered a treasure that his eyes lit up, and he struck a pose on stage.
He even pretended to be facing an audience of countless people, and exaggeratedly extended his hand in a gesture of response: "Thank you everyone! Thank you, thank you for coming to my concert!"
……
Seeing this, the guardians on site and the viewers watching the live broadcast couldn't help but laugh, just like Li Xiaodong's performance when she first joined the show.
Then, the scene changed, and the first 15 trainees appeared one by one. More and more faces appeared, including those trainees who had been eliminated.
The camera faithfully recorded the trainees' nervousness and anxiety on the initial evaluation stage, their excitement and anticipation upon moving into the dormitory for the first time, their hard work and effort on the first public performance stage, their excitement or disappointment upon learning their ranking for the first time, and their feigned strength when facing elimination for the first time...
The stage lights gradually dimmed, then suddenly lit up with a high-pitched drumbeat!
On stage, all 85 eliminated contestants returned, and the 100-person version of the theme song "Morning Star" ignited the entire venue!
As the music started and the lights flashed, the entire stadium erupted in frenzied screams from the guardian stars!
At this moment, everyone was infected by the atmosphere, feeling as if there was something in their chest that they had to say! The mentors were already hyped up with the music and the screams of the guardian stars, and even the usually aloof and sharp-tongued Ding Erxun couldn't help but stand up and wave his arms to the rhythm!
The theme song was not long. Amidst the sound of cannons booming, the trainees struck an ending pose, concluding the group performance.
The live stream camera panned across the trainees, then turned to the audience, and then to the mentors' and guests' seats.
In the live stream, the screen was flooded with comments.
[So cute it's heartwarming: Ahhhhh! So handsome, so handsome, so handsome!]
[Want a little sweetness: Ahhhh! Brother! Fighting, brother! You have to debut!]
[Love Notice: Go for it, baby!]
……
Amidst screams, the host stepped onto the stage, and the trainees found their places and stood ready, waiting for the host to take control of the pace.
"Hello everyone, this is the live broadcast of the final stage of the 6th season of 'Morning Star'. I'm your host for tonight, Tang He. Now, let's have the trainees say hello to everyone!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the 100 trainees said in unison, "Hello everyone! We are trainees from 'Morning Star'!"
Their response was a deafening roar from the entire audience!
"Dear viewers, including those watching on TV and online, good evening! Welcome to the live broadcast of the finale of Morning Star Season 6! I'm your host, Tang He!"
"After 45 days, the number of trainees has decreased from 100 to 60, then to 30, and finally to 15. Which 9 trainees will successfully make it into the debut group? The answer will be revealed tonight!"
The fans immediately clapped and screamed, as if as long as their voices were loud enough, they could definitely help their idol debut successfully.
"Alright, now please let our trainees return backstage for a short rest. Next, I'd like to introduce tonight's witnesses to the formation of the group! They are..."
Host Tang He controlled the flow of the event, introducing the mentors and guests, giving the trainees ample time to change clothes, and also explaining the voting rules.
Backstage, the trainees changed clothes as quickly as possible, while the assistants and stylists on set remained on high alert, not daring to slack off.
"Quick, quick! Change your clothes!"
"The makeup and hair for the first group needs changing! The first group, come over here for your makeup changes!"
"The second group, go change your clothes first!"
"Don't rush! There are still guest performances, don't panic!"
……
The backstage chaos didn't affect the stage at all. Tang He effortlessly introduced the entire stage to the fans in attendance and those who couldn't be there. The live stream camera followed Tang He's introduction, slowly panning across the entire venue.
The stage for the final night was divided into two parts: the main stage and the secondary stage. The main stage was where the trainees performed, while the secondary stage featured a triangular arrangement of nine people, which was the final lineup for tonight!
The front and two sides of the two stages are for the audience, mentors, witnesses, representatives of the trainees' companies, guests, and eliminated trainees.
[If they're not handsome, call the police: The boy band from season 5 is here!]
[A dog appeared around the corner: The eliminated contestants are back! Waaaaah! I thought I'd never see them on this stage again!]
[Gossip-loving Salty Fish: Hey, these big shots in the industry aren't as big and muscular as people say. There are actually a few decent-looking ones!]
[Give me a bowl of young, handsome meat: Ha! Isn't it just because they're going to be on a live stream that they sent someone good-looking as their representative?]
[Wild Game Fairy: Who wants to see the guests! I want to see the performance!]
……
After introducing the guests, the voting rules were then explained.
The voting rules for the final night are different from those of previous performances. Tonight, there will be no live voting; instead, voting will be open to all participants across all platforms. Everyone can vote for all nine members, but only one vote per member! There is also a time limit.
"Dear Guardians, the voting channels for all trainees on various platforms will remain open until 10:00 PM. After the voting channels close, the top 9 trainees with the most votes will debut as a group tonight! So before 10:00 PM, dear Guardians, hurry up and vote for your favorite trainees!"
The rules are very simple, but the production team still managed to make them incredibly interesting.
The production team shut down the real-time vote display for the contestants at midnight last night, and it remained closed all day today! The real-time vote display was only restored at 8 PM today!
The guardian stars took one look at the number of votes.
"Huh? My idol was in the debut position yesterday, how did he fall out of it? Vote! Vote! We must get him into the debut position!"
"My brother made it into the debut group, but his chances aren't very high! We have to vote! We must help him secure his debut spot!"
And then there were the particularly savvy people who said, "Uh, how come the general votes went up? We didn't vote! We really didn't!"
The staff member in charge of the program's backend data couldn't stop smiling as they watched the numbers surge: "That's it! Everyone, come and vote! Put all the enthusiasm you've accumulated throughout the day into your votes! If today's data is good enough, your year-end bonuses are secured!"
