Friends in the audience and watching from home, hello everyone. You are now watching Tencent Video’s “Let Me Sing”. I’m your host, Shen Ling. Hello, everyone. Here with you as always is your “little brother” and promoter, Zhang Zimo. Let’s also welcome the five recommendation panelists here today. Everyone, please welcome them. Today, the five panelists look so radiant. Did you all coordinate your outfits? It’s just a coincidence. What a coincidence! Such a coincidence. So impressive. It’s really just a coincidence. Today, we are at the national competition of “Let Me Sing”, the fourth round. More than half of the contestants will be eliminated here. 25 will be reduced to 12. Only twelve making it through is way too few. Half. This competition format is too cruel. Not afraid. Don’t be afraid. So, what’s the theme for this round? Sing for Her. Who is “her” in this context? Why are we singing for her? Me. That’s not wrong either. Honestly, we’re singing for all the audience members. But today’s “Sing for Her” specifically refers to in the previous round of the competition, the six contestants who won. And these three direct spots in the national top twelve will only be given to these six people Seriously? So they’re singing for the six of us They’re all here to help me They’re supposed to help this person to complete her stage performance So what does that have to do with us? If I help her get it what happens to me? All other contestants are pending Later, from multiple parties regarding all your performances a comprehensive evaluation will be conducted to ultimately decide whether you can advance to the national top twelve Sing to help her advance Sing for her But at the same time we’ll also get a stage for ourselves Yes, that’s right If she does well, I do well The most important thing is the stage has to look good If the stage looks good everyone will naturally stand out I’ll just pick one or two people So right now in my mind there are two people But I have a list in my mind For example, if I pick four people all four are shining What if I refuse now and no one invites me later then I’ll be left out Right Fight for her So who will come to me? Right now, I just want to choose Good Planet Xu Xin, Yifan, don’t fight with me Good Planet Sheng Yang Don’t fight with me for Good Planet You Keep dreaming I still need to make a call first I’ll call right now Senior treats me like this Hello, please don’t hang up The number you dialed is currently busy Hello Who are you Is this Sheng Yang This is Sheng Yang Babies Sisters What should I do? I called you. Wait a moment. Shengyang, I’m sorry. I have to take a call right now. Sorry. Hold on. You just want to choose between me and Xu Xinyifan. Sorry. Shengyang, I’m sorry. So you chose Xu Xinyifan. Sorry. I answered. Sorry, goodbye, Shengyang. I love you very much. Goodbye. I love you very much. Goodbye. Hello, Xu Xinyifan. Old Wang. Xu Xinyifan called Good Planet. Xu Xinyifan. I’ll kneel to her later. Last time when we were choosing songs, you said you could sing and dance, right? At first, I was torn about “Love’s Main Song”. Because I can sing and dance. I wanted to give it a try. Actually, I wanted to try singing and dancing. But I don’t know the style of this song. The style I want is like a trendy girl. A sexy girl. Why did you call me? I’m not a sexy girl. What are you talking about? Okay, let’s do it together. Okay, let’s do it together. How could I agree to that? Because I’m hungry. So, do you want to join me? Sure. Of course, you were the first to call me. No problem. Really? Yes. I only chose you. Alright, that’s fine. Let’s do it together. Unbelievable. Hi, I’m Ziyi. What are you trying to do? What I want to do is either a big ballad or a dance performance. Alright, I won’t take up your time. I refuse. Because I want to sing rock this round. I’m waiting for a rock song. Okay, got it. Goodbye. Goodbye. I want to do either a big ballad or a dance performance. I might want to be more determined to just do a pure dance performance. Because it’s uncertain here, right? Alright, it’s fine. Sorry. Maybe next time. Go ahead. Let’s talk when there’s a free slot later. Doesn’t anyone want to sing a big ballad? Could it be But I I still want to wait for one more person’s call. I’m very sorry. Okay, no problem. I love you, baby. But I have a few people in mind. I can’t take it anymore. I’m not playing this game. It’s fine. While you’re struggling, we’re not feeling great either. Why is this so hard? I’m alone right now. I’m really speechless. Hello, I’m Chanel. Chanel. Were you chosen? I wasn’t chosen. Would you like to join me? Did anyone call me? Cai Ziyi. Cai Ziyi will definitely call me. I believe in her. I want to sing a big ballad. I want to get passionate. Then I’ll join. I love you Thank you, goodbye Goodbye Okay, Xie Muqing Two people can sing well too, right? Are we still dancing this time? Of course not I’m not a dancer Okay Is that okay? Okay I love you I love you too Okay, that’s great So, do you want to team up with me? What style of song do you want to do? Anything is fine I’ll go with your choice Who else do you want to pick? You two And Xing’er Okay You have a bye now. Do you have any thoughts? Pretty much the same as what I thought. I think maybe most of the contestants are just on good terms with me. But they don’t really know, musically, what I’m good at or what I can do. Do you have any thoughts? I’m a little disappointed. Maybe in other people’s minds, they didn’t really consider you. Actually, I really wanted to accept Ziyi. At that moment, I wanted to slap the table and say, “I’ll do it!” But… I wondered if I could wait and see a bit longer. But now, about my hesitation, I feel a bit regretful. For all the choices I’ve made, I won’t regret them. So, Yiyi, Ye An, I’m sorry. Alright, next one. Hanging up on someone was my my decision. My action. Why am I the one left over? But I actually think it’s more interesting this way. I’m just searching for rock. So I’m also looking forward to where the people with a bye will be randomly assigned. So I can just go with whatever fate decides. So scary. For today’s performance, the on-site recommending judges and all of you in the audience will jointly make the “Core Support” selection. Welcome to the live event, all 410 audience members. On my left side are 205 audience members from the campus section. Welcome. On my right side are 205 audience members from the workplace section. Welcome to you all as well. Today, each of you has the right to give “Core Support.” So please make sure to watch every performance carefully. Alright. First, one side of the audience will express their “Core Support” stance. Then, our recommending judges and the other side of the audience may raise objections. In the end, we will see which side has the most support. That side will be declared the winner. And their team leader will advance directly to the national top twelve. So here’s the question. Who will face off against whom? Are we announcing it right now? Next to the mentor, there is a box for drawing lots. Teachers, please send a representative to draw. The teachers will draw. Then, Teacher Hao Lei, please represent us. You do it, it’s closer to you. This is too much pressure for me. So we’re starting just like this? I’m so nervous. Here we go. Honestly, the first group is actually pretty nervous. Yeah, it’s really nerve-wracking. I don’t want to go first, please. Is it Ye An? I just said I didn’t want to go first. You can do it! Ye An, you can do it! She still has to draw again. Still have to draw again. Sheng Yang. I’ve got goosebumps. First one up. Second, we’re the second. Second. We get stronger when facing strong opponents. I’m still a little happy. I don’t want to lose. I want to protect my teammates. Protect them. Let’s have the recommender draw again. Second group showdown. It’s the second group now. Second group. Xu Xin Yifan. Chanel. Our opponents are Haohuo Planet and Xu Xinyifan They’re the heartfelt type It’s pretty scary No I’ve never wanted to win in my life But this time, I do I want to win together with them So the remaining two teams will automatically be matched against each other We’re automatically matched up The performance officially begins Let’s welcome the first group of contestants Welcome Captain Chen Ye’an and her team members Chen Guo, Chen Yuqing Lin Xi, Zhang Keying Welcome Captain Sheng Yang and team member Luo Xiaohei So beautiful Sheng Yang Xiaohei Hello everyone, we are This Killer Is a Little Cold Hello everyone I’m the fairy girl Gen1es Chen Ye’an I’m from Thailand Today, I’m the “Smiling Killer” Because today I’ll use my smile to “kill” you all So cute. Hello everyone, I’m Lin Xi. Today, I’m the “killer with the deadly gaze.” Hello everyone, I’m Chen Yuqing. Today, I’m the “high heels killer.” Hello everyone, I’m Coco Zhang Keying. Today, I’m the killer who can’t lift her arms. But I’ll use my “hidden weapon.” To “take you all out.” What’s wrong with your hands? I can’t lift them because of this outfit. I can only lift them this high. Hello everyone, my name is Chen Guo. I’m the “sexy killer.” Xu Xin Yifan. You’re also a sexy killer. I don’t need it. No need. The emotional killer. The emotional killer. Hello everyone, we are Say It Straight. If you take one step straight back, you’ll find Xiao Hei right behind you. If you take one step straight forward, I’m Sheng Yang right in front of you. I’ll give you all an official chance to talk tough. Three, two, one. Who’s suspicious? Who’s pitiful? Who’s innocent? Who’s just getting by? I’ve already seen the final result. So impressive. I really admire you. Straightforward and direct. Then let’s speak our minds. and sing our songs directly. It’s all very energetic. Really. Yes, very energetic. Yes, very well-prepared. Let’s hand the stage over to Chen Ye’an’s team. Is Lin Xi coming back tomorrow? Yes, she is. She’ll only be back at midnight. Tomorrow at midnight. She won’t do the stage run-through tomorrow. She can’t do the stage run-through. Are you worried about that? I’m afraid I can’t keep up with everyone. Actually, it’s not too bad. I was really worried at first. But later I realized everyone’s progress is quite slow. Today we’re breaking it into sections. Tomorrow we’ll still be breaking it into sections. The day after tomorrow, still breaking it into sections. When it’s been seven days and we’re still breaking it into sections, I just felt like I hadn’t fallen too far behind. How could everyone be so absorbed in breaking it into sections? Yeah. That’s a good question. I think I need to choose myself first. Because I think if I do well myself, I can make my team better. If this is her stage, then indeed, she should have a bigger share. The four of us, except for Ye An, I think maybe all of us are more or less the same. But if others get eight or nine lines, and I only get one and a half, I really feel that’s a bit unbalanced. Overall, I think from what I see, for example, Yu Qing has more solo parts. If we could split a few lines from that for me, that would be fine. Otherwise, I’ll feel a bit awkward on stage. And it would be uncomfortable. Because for Ye An, I’ve always felt that I’ve put in a lot of genuine effort. At that moment, it made me feel that she didn’t really care. About other people’s parts. When we come together, we’re just joining as a group, but it’s not like we’re just here to support you alone. The theme of our performance is “singing for her.” If you want to magnify the “singing for her” part endlessly, then I feel really miserable. Hurry. I’m on the verge of an emotional breakdown right now. Because I need to make sure I’ve grown. That I have my own shining qualities. During my first performance on stage, I lost my voice. In the second show, I didn’t sing well. I didn’t dance well either. So I started to think, Why am I even on this show? That wasn’t really me. So in this performance, I have to do my absolute best. On this stage, I need to prove my own worth. Only then can I help others. But I will also protect my own interests. I won’t go from zero to a hundred like that. I don’t want to be just a backup dancer. I have to make sure that I get to sing. I want to treat this stage as if it’s my last performance. Because I have so many regrets. We’re really in sync. It’s not the end. So embarrassing. I don’t want to watch anymore. To be honest, this ending move doesn’t look good. It’s not in sync. It doesn’t look good. This is the first day. We’re rehearsing together. No one is on the same page. Is there any group you’re especially afraid of now? I’m afraid of all of them. I’m afraid of all of them. How should I put it… I’m nervous every day. I’m really nervous. Because I feel like our team hasn’t finished something. So I’m a bit nervous. I don’t want to cry. I want to practice a few more times. I just feel like you know? I saw Wang Saihanna’s team like Niuniu and Nini, coming to my room and practicing nonstop. Everyone is practicing hard for the stage. But we haven’t finished. So I’m really scared. Now everything makes me scared. The problem with dividing the parts is really hard. I really felt guilty at that time. I didn’t want to hurt anyone. But then I wondered, did my ambition hurt others? Let’s talk about it. I think everyone wants to balance a lot of things. But this balance I think, no matter the age or background, it’s always difficult. And we do have language barriers here. I think everyone is coming from a good place, with good intentions. But sometimes misunderstandings happen. Communication breaks down. And then there are misunderstandings. So, in the end, if we just talk things out calmly, everything will be fine, really. Okay. Let’s make the most of our training time. My section can be separated. Can the teacher assign sections based on our strengths? Reassign the sections? Is everyone okay with that? Yes. You take the beginning of the first section. Then Da Piaoliang, you take this section. Alright. This transition is too tight. Earlier, I was too caught up in that emotion. A team’s cohesion is extremely important. Even if it’s just being a backup dancer, so what? That’s still my own choreography. It’s something that’s mine. I want to be the best I can be. Love should be passionate and intense. They are important too. My team is also very important. I can’t win if I don’t have a good team. Their final ending pose was really cool too. The ending was really good. Chen Yuqing has improved a lot. I can hardly recognize her now. Great singing. Yes. Please welcome Sheng Yang and Luo Xiaohei to perform a song. “Straightforward” In my playlist, there are actually very few songs like this. I still can’t manage to sing out what I really want to say or say it directly or have that bold feeling in my singing. Try scolding me. Scold you? How am I supposed to argue with you? Can you go to bed earlier? When I go to bed what does it have to do with you? This stage belongs to both of us. If you don’t go to bed early, how can you be in good shape? Am I in bad shape right now? Have I affected you? No, you haven’t. No, you haven’t. Xiao Hei, your voice didn’t come out in the first line you sang. You’re being too polite now. You need to show your aggressiveness right from the first line. Actually, I really get anxious about this. Can you quickly in this style quickly get yourself into that energy to add to the song? What if I can’t help Shengyang? I worry about that too. No, let’s talk about it. Actually, I think I’m pretty bold. I think yeah. She has a lot of classic quotes. During the livestream battle, I just said one thing at the time. I said internet celebrities just sing so-so. So bold. When you hear her say that, how do you feel? It feels great. So bold to say that. That’s really daring. I wouldn’t dare. I’m very confident in my singing. Whenever I sing, I’m always confident on stage. But it’s just that I definitely have some body image anxiety. Like getting my nails done is to make my hands look prettier. That’s also a sign of insecurity. I hope that I can eventually reach a queen-like state. I really hope that I can become that kind of person. Yes. A confident person. Yes, confidence that comes from within. Just chubby hands. Just short hands. They’re just short, okay? Is that alright? Why do you care? My arms are indeed thick. Yes, but I still wear sleeveless tops. Why do you care? That’s how it feels. Since I was young, I’ve always been quite ambitious. I’m a rather ambitious person. Especially, for example, I grew up in Wafangdian, Dalian, a small county town. You could say that. After growing up in a small county town, but at the same time, I’ve also seen the outside world. I’ve traveled to different places for competitions. I’ve seen big cities outside. I’ve seen what they’re like. That made me very ambitious. I was determined to get out through exams. I was determined to go somewhere better to develop myself. But part of it is also because my parents have certain expectations for me. I feel I need to live up to their expectations. And do even better. And go even further. I’m so envious. My mom. I remembered what my mom once said. I once described to her the kind of life I might want. What it would be like. She said, if that’s the only way you can be happy, then I will never be happy. She always opposes it. She never approves. My mom doesn’t accept me at all. It really just makes me feel heartache. I’m thirty now. Thirty years old. Still not recognized. I think life is meant to be lived for yourself. Even your parents’ opinions are just their opinions. I’m not afraid of what others say. Even if they call me selfish or whatever. Because I think living for yourself means that what I want is something I have to fight for. That’s very brave. I just hope that I can be a little braver. That’s why I really like this song. Because I myself am usually very roundabout. I’m a person who takes detours. I feel like the arrival of this song came at a perfect time. It was placed right here. There’s a very straightforward song. In the song, you can also be direct. I also really hope that through myself and the things I say to her or my emotions I can influence her. Let her go from being a bland person to being a little more intense. That would be great. Thank you. Thanks to Shengyang and Luo Xiaohei for their wonderful performance. What you have received is the Chocliz stage boost. The special effect fire pillars have been activated. Your Chocliz Six Layers of Choco where is it? Before you start searching, please write a line of lyrics that includes “Chocliz Six Layers of Choco”. And sing it out. Let the Chocliz people choose the person with the highest note. She will receive a song sung for her. with the Chocliz stage bonus. Okay. Go ahead, Xiangxiang. Chocliz Six Layers of Choco Choco Six Layers of Choco Choco Chocliz Six-layer Choco It’s that high note. It’s the one you humans can’t hear, right? But I think we Chocliz people can definitely hear it. Next Choco Choco Are you okay? That was really tough. Come on. It’s time to choose. We can eat Chocliz now. Time for ice cream. Pick me. Thank you, please pick me. So this is our boost, right? Yeah. Give a hug. Her note, Qiaolezi heard it. There’s no reason not to like you. So next, we’re going to announce everyone’s voting results. Now announcing the voting results from the campus audience. Number one. Number two. Sheng Yang, Xiao Hei, Sheng Yang. I prefer number two this time. Although number one was great too. Ye An from number one really amazed me. I also didn’t expect Zhang Keying Zhang Keying’s high note— Yeah. Voting countdown. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. The campus audience most people support Chen Ye’an’s team. They received a total of 129 votes of support. Impressive. Student audience. Anyone opposed? Any objections to the campus audience’s opinion? I disagree. Because, actually, Shengyang’s performance like this doesn’t surprise me at all. It’s great. This is exactly who you should be. On the other hand, when it comes to Xiaohei, because I’ve never seen Xiaohei sing this kind of song before. She not only challenged her own comfort zone, but she also did it very smoothly. The key is, on stage, the two of them felt very natural together. It was as if they were one. So I think they really did a great job. Thank you, teacher. Does anyone disagree with Teacher Wu Tong’s opinion? I disagree. The reason I disagree is First, this song is very challenging. It’s a very difficult song to sing. Five people have to share the weight of this song equally. And they also have to move around the stage. Do all these things. And today, Ye An managed to bring out that sexy rock female vocal and really showed it. She surpassed her own attitude and power in singing. Additionally, I have to say Yu Qing, you’ve improved so much. I saw that when you were about to sing this song, I was thinking to myself, What should we do? Can she overcome her own hurdle? Have the same confidence as when you dance. When you picked up the microphone, you improved so much. You succeeded for yourself. Really. No matter what happens on this stage, or what your future holds, you will definitely have another stage. Really. So I think this team is great overall. Everyone did great. I disagree. Here we go again. Brilliant. Ms. Hao Lei. Sheng Yang and Xiao Hei are a team. I think it was stunning. It’s just the two of them. They really let their true selves shine. Sheng Yang is actually different from before. I’ve been watching you since your first audition. Can I be honest with you? Back then, I thought you were a bit old-fashioned. I mean your style, right? The way you presented yourself. And also your singing. You didn’t have a unique identity. You’re a nineteen-year-old girl the way you dress isn’t even as lively as mine, right? Where is your personal style? There’s always a bit of an intangible, hard-to-grasp feeling Then I saw a new side of you and it really impressed me In previous episodes, it was also mentioned that maybe showing your arms doesn’t look good so you wore black and white suits short black and white suits and suits that make your legs look longer you’ve tried them all but there’s still some body image anxiety so maybe try some more flattering styles And this song is also what I hope I can ultimately achieve for myself which is to not care about the public’s aesthetic standards or other people’s opinions just be straightforward and direct Xiao Hei was even more surprising I always had a question mark in my mind Is this really Luo Xiaohei? What happened today? Did you level up or something? It’s a relaxed and natural expression That’s really great Because I think the best kind of creator is one who respects the changes of the moment perceives those changes and expresses those changes I think you two have done that so I support both of you Thank you, teacher So, may I ask the audience here, does anyone disagree with Ms. Hao Lei’s opinion? The audience in the workplace section disagrees. Disagree. The workplace section also votes for “Bloody Love Story.” The general audience all supports “Bloody Love Story.” Let’s take a look at the workplace section audience. They have given a total of 124 “heartfelt” votes of support. Is there anyone who disagrees with the workplace section audience’s opinion? Five Four Three Two One No one objects. Congratulations. In the first group’s matchup, the Chen Ye’an team has won. Those who didn’t express their opinion just now, those who didn’t express their opinion just now, the two recommending teachers, probably also support the Chen Ye’an team. Let’s have the two teachers talk about your thoughts on their performance in this round. When “Let Me Sing” has reached this point today, the competition on this stage will only get more intense. Everyone will bring out their best skills to improve each time and give their all. Today, there might be a big issue that will run through my talk today. It’s about change or no change. I believe everyone desires change. But how can this change benefit oneself more? For some people, change is necessary. If you don’t change, you’ll hit a dead end. But for others, changing might not be as good as staying the same. If I may speak frankly, I think Sheng Yang, your change today actually didn’t benefit you. But it benefited Luo Xiaohei. Xiao Hei’s performance today her presence on stage overshadowed you Actually, in my heart I’ve always thought you’re an outstanding singer I feel you didn’t deliver the intensity I was really hoping for Alright That’s just my personal opinion But Xiao Hei’s performance today for you this change really made me unable to imagine it I just want to say, take this song and let that side of yourself that’s never been shown come out give it your all and do this song well I wanted Sheng Yang to get this direct pass singing just for her Very good You express yourself much more sharply now. Or maybe I just didn’t know you that well before. I’m also much braver now. I really wouldn’t have said things like this before. Shengyang is already trying to find the version of herself from when she was nineteen. I think we should be recognized first. Xiao Hei is a very laid-back person. Whether it’s for others or for herself, she never says she wants to win, or that she wants to lose. When I heard what she said, I was really touched. I think we often, because of ourselves, aren’t that confident. But when we truly give our all for our teammates, when we go all out, maybe at that moment, we actually find our true selves. We feel like we can do it. I feel that in you all, I sense that you are willing to go all out for your captain, that you are willing to go all out for your captain, even to the point of risking everything. That feeling of giving it your all. That’s what I think today’s stage the true meaning of “Fighting for Her” is. Both of these performances were absolutely amazing and cool. Let’s give you all a round of applause. Thank you, teacher. Thank you, Teacher Hu Yanbin, for your recognition. In the first round of the competition, Team Chen Ye’an won. Congratulations. Ye An is also very deserving. She really deserves it. Ye An is amazing. Ye An is truly amazing. Ye An deserves it. Congratulations to the winning team of this group, and to the team captain, Chen Ye An, for making it into the national top twelve. Wait a moment. Thank you, Teacher Hu Yanbin, for your recognition. Sorry. What’s wrong? We can’t congratulate them yet. We can’t congratulate them yet. Why not? Don’t you feel like something is missing from this round today? Like something’s missing? The hidden rule is now activated. Here we go again. Here we go again. What is it now? The most annoying sounds in the world One is the morning alarm clock, and the other is the alarm for the hidden rule. Actually, today’s competition rule is not “Sing for Her,” but “Sing for Us.” The winning team will also receive an extra direct qualification spot. So in this round, there will actually be six direct qualification spots in total. We ask the members of the winning team to discuss among themselves and select one person who you believe has the stage presence to make it into the national top twelve. But the final decision rests with the team captain. What does it mean? It means this team has won. Now, besides Ye An, one more person can advance directly. She can have the power to give it to someone else. Give them another chance. One more spot. Actually, I think it’s everyone for me, and me for everyone. Sometimes you’ll find that altruistic thinking ends up benefiting yourself. So winning definitely requires us to work together. Only then can we win. I think this is very thoughtfully designed. This kind of design Actually, “singing for her” is also “singing for myself.” When I sincerely sing for you, it comes back to me and helps fulfill them. Alright, now we Let’s have Chen Ye’an’s team discuss on the spot immediately Five-minute countdown starts now Don’t cry The ones you don’t pick won’t be eliminated I don’t know who to choose You’re just picking someone to win with you It’s not like the ones you don’t pick will lose It’s okay Who wants it No We worked hard to get this You decide Yes It’s okay It’s fine It’s all right Really, it’s all right Who do you think she’ll choose I don’t know, in private, what their relationship is like Yeah, this is so hard I like all four of them They’re all great Their teamwork today was really amazing Yes This is a gift This is a gift No, this isn’t a gift to me The five of us We’re a team We move forward together It’s actually very hard for her to make a choice. Because she really cares. About every member of her team. She also really wants to be fair. For every captain, if they win, she will definitely have her own standards. So I think it’s fine to follow Ye An’s own standards. There’s absolutely no problem with that. I’ll leave it to you. Stop looking at me, okay? Okay. Alright, look for yourself. I’m afraid they’ll also be conflicted about Chen Guo. I’m afraid they’ll also be conflicted about Chen Guo. They might also feel a bit conflicted. Yeah. Personally, I think Chen Yuqing because in the show, those two stood out the most. Maybe Keying’s performance just now was good. A bit more stable, relatively. Yeah. Are you ready? Ready. I really love you all. I really do. We know, we all know. If I only had one chance, I would give it. Who I choose Sister Lin Xi I really didn’t expect it Why me Because she is She was the last to join us The last person I was away for a week before I was on a business trip Then I went back to take my final exams And then some work So I came back really, really late But she worked so hard So I want to give her this opportunity, yes I’m really grateful to her It was on stage I felt that even the judges didn’t give me feedback Suddenly, she gave me affirmation I feel really lucky Alright, so we would like to congratulate Chen Ye’an and Lin Xi for making it into the national top twelve Wait a moment Sorry We still can’t congratulate you yet Because backstage there is still another team getting ready to go It’s a surprise attack. It’s a surprise attack. Can the winning team hold on securely to these two direct advancement spots? We still need to see if the backstage challenger team members will launch a challenge this round. Yes. What everyone is seeing now are the members of the challenger team. How were they formed? Hello. I’m here. Unfortunately, according to the rules card, the contestants present in the last round were not chosen by the six winners. But now, with the help of Chocliz, you are united as Hexagon Warriors. After enjoying Chocliz Six Layers of Chocolate, you immediately become the seventh team. You will complete a stage performance just for your team. You will choose one of the three winning teams to challenge in a showdown. If you win, you will take their direct advancement spots. We are the Hexagon Warriors of Six Layers of Chocolate! Let’s go! They are about to choose whether to launch a challenge. And seize the winning team’s two direct advancement spots. This is so exciting! This competition format is starting again. Shen Ling, I have a question. If the challengers win, do those two spots get taken away? The two spots will go to the challenger team. Challenger team at this moment Do you want to choose to initiate the challenge now? We choose to initiate the challenge. Tang Lan Here we come, we’re here! A “battle” between roommates This is amazing. Why is it so hard? These are the rules. Let’s welcome the challenger team members. Xu Biheng, Li Muzi Tang Lan, Zhang Chutong Zhang Tongxi, Bu Cai She asked why it’s so hard. Why is it this difficult? Tang Lan Next, Ye An’s team. How do you feel about your former close friends openly challenging you in the very first round? Any response? No, what I want to say is, I actually chose Zhang Tongxi and Mu Zi, I really did choose Zhang Tongxi and Mu Zi, but they didn’t want to team up with me. So you didn’t… So I was really sad. Why? Because Ye An said, “If you come to my stage, we won’t do singing and dancing.” But I didn’t want her to give up what she’s best at just for me. So I stopped singing and dancing. I talked to her for fifteen minutes. I just didn’t want her to give up singing and dancing. I understand. But I get it. I really do. Now, could everyone please introduce themselves? Challenger team. Hello everyone, we are the Challenger group. So, what are we here to do today? A surprise attack. It feels like their fighting spirit can’t be contained anymore. Alright, we’re ready. Challenger team, it’s time for your performance. Okay? The stage is yours. If you all compete, the winning team will also have a chance to get the other team’s direct pass spot. So, who wants it? I want it. Why wouldn’t I? I’ll give it to you. Who wouldn’t want it? Everyone does. Let fate decide. So, what things do you leave to fate and not care about? But what do you actually care about? I care about inner peace. Really. Alright. And I care even more about the order within my own mind. Because I think a lot of external things are beyond my control. So if I focus on external goals, and I don’t achieve them, I’ll feel devastated. All I can do is enjoy the present moment and do my best with what I can do now. Do it well. As for everything else, if I can’t control it, I’ll just let it be. I wish I could be in a state like Bucai. “Superpower” hurt me. Everyone says “Superpower” is great. Everyone says “Superpower” is amazing. But if it’s really that amazing, then why are there no comments from me or Zhang Tongxi? Why in the end is it only a choice between Bucai and Ye An? One is Ye An, the other is Bucai. Can we, this round, let the two of them compete against each other? Like I’m invisible. I’m clearly standing here. I’m so tall. Yeah, me too. Why do the teachers not see us at all? Yeah, and to be honest, but I actually don’t want to say it. On the next stage, I have to make it happen. I want the teachers to notice me. I have to do it. I want the teachers to pick me. Or even criticize me. I don’t want this. This isn’t who I am. I want to change my mindset now. I say I don’t care about this. And that’s the “filler” mindset. I don’t think so. I’m not saying I want to have a “filler” mindset. That way, everyone will choose me. But I really want to be like a “filler,” and not care at all. But I don’t totally not care. But I want to not care at all. I’ll do better than you. Okay. I care even less. I feel like right now, I’m the complete opposite of you. Right now, I care a lot. You care a lot. What I’m holding back is for my next performance. I have to make sure the teacher notices me. Just once. Just to prove myself to you. At least standing on this stage, there’s a reason I’ve made it this far. It’s not just luck that I’m standing here. I just want that one thing. Even if it’s just this one time, or even if he just scolds me harshly, gives me a good scolding, and asks why I even came here, that’s fine too. I just want that one thing. When we practice together, everyone has this drive inside. We all want to make this stage the best it can be together. I think every performance is a new attempt for me. Since I’m doing it, I want to do it well. Because I want our team to win. Tang Lan is so cute. That’s awesome. The order of announcements for this round will start with the mentors’ recommendations. I think we did especially well. No matter who we compete with, we can win. This is our group. Out of all the times we’ve practiced so far, this was the best one. I’m satisfied with my performance. Alright, we can see that Teacher Wu Tong has chosen to give the Challenge Team a “boost” In the Challenge Group, I think, comparatively, they have the fewest shortcomings. Especially at the beginning of the music, each person just like in the original version, sang every detail I noticed all of them. You handled things individually, and for every line, you made your own choices about how to express your own style. If I were to give a suggestion, it would be that Bihengfei’s high note at the end could be even stronger. That would give the overall music even more tension. By comparison, I know Ye An’s group was also great, and their live performance was very good. But there were some things that I just couldn’t get past. At the very beginning, when a few of them were singing, it almost made me feel like they chose the wrong key. I’m very sorry, but for me, this is really unacceptable. I object. I want to ask the Challenger Team, for this stage performance, it’s called “Sing for Her.” Who among you are you singing for? Who is “her”? I think we’re singing for the stage. We’re singing for ourselves. We’re singing for our future selves. I’m singing for my past self who was afraid of the stage. I’m singing for who I am now. I’m singing for a different version of myself. Every answer is your own choice. But it seems like everyone’s goals aren’t the same. Each of you is actually very unique. And you all have strong personalities. But your energy is being spread in different directions. So it’s impossible for us to fully focus and feel the energy you have when united. I also want to say something to Bucai. I’ve started to notice you more and more. And I’m starting to like you more and more. If in this competition in this competition you can’t make it into the top twelve, and you have to leave, I would feel a bit regretful. Okay, thank you, teacher. I was listening very carefully just now to what Mr. Hu Yanbin said and I completely agree that only by fully respecting the existence of commonality can we better highlight the value of individuality As for the Challenge Team’s overall performance to me, it felt disjointed I couldn’t find any internal connection between you So the overall stage effect for me, perhaps was not that good Just now, at this moment of the challenge, I was hoping that the challenge you initiated this time could produce a different result. But, I can sense that you are fighting for yourselves. So when you’re actually rehearsing, don’t separate yourselves from each other. At this point, you can express yourselves more directly. In other performances, it’s the same. I said, Yanbin, I told him, rapping is not my strength. For those rap sections, you have to help me with a few lines. Yanbin said, of course. Bro, you sing those lines, and when it comes to the rap part, I’ll help you out. There’s nothing embarrassing about this. Not at all. You must have this kind of genuine cooperation. At this moment, because you are working as a team, not as individuals. Later on, musically speaking, I think it’s a pity. I really think it’s a pity. When there’s a great melismatic part, that moment of expression, it’s truly a highlight. But the voices of all five of you are still in unison. Why can’t you do a two-part harmony? Is it really that hard? The next performance I think no matter who you work with I hope you achieve even better results Thank you, Teacher Cai Thank you, Teacher Right now there is only one mentor Teacher Elva Hsiao who hasn’t shared her opinion yet I don’t disagree with Teacher Hu Yanbin’s opinion but I also quite agree with some of what Teacher Wu Tong said Zhang Tongxi today you performed very much in your own world You did very well Thank you, Teacher And Tang Lan from your very first live session all the way until now you’ve started to become a different version of yourself and started to spread your wings for yourself We humans don’t just have happiness we also have anger and sorrow So just now I saw another, more defined side of you So you really have shown a different version of yourself You did great Thank you, Teacher Elva Hsiao Okay In this round the challenger team lost Congratulations to Chen Ye’an’s team for holding on to their victory Wait a moment Now I can be happy, right? I was really scared of Teacher Zhang Zimo Wait No I really can be happy now Right? Congratulations to Chen Ye’an and Lin Xi for making it into the national top twelve This is the final result, right? Yes That’s it No more torment, okay? At the same time, let’s take a look at our audience here and the “Jiaxin” choices they’ve made The campus audience supported Chen Ye’an’s team with a total of 139 “Jiaxin” votes The workplace audience also supported Chen Ye’an’s team with a total of 142 “Jiaxin” votes Alright Let’s give a round of applause to the challenger team and also congratulate Chen Ye’an’s team Thank you Thank you, teacher Great job I’m so happy. I couldn’t get a spot. If I didn’t have my teammates, so I really want to thank them. Hello, Lezi people. Can I have a hug? Let’s hug, let’s all hug together. It’s okay. We’re together. Let’s cheer ourselves on. Together with the Lezi people. Let’s go! Six-layer Qiaoqiao. I want to eat it. Who wants some? Come on. Let’s do it together. Come on. It’s okay, one performance doesn’t prove anything. It’s just like this Qiaolezi. You can’t taste all the flavors in one bite. You have to savor it bite by bite. Six layers. Our team is the same way. Watch me take this bite. It’s full of taro flavor. Let’s get ourselves ready. We’ll fight again next time. Next up, let’s welcome the next group of contestants. Welcome, Captain Xu Xinyifan, and her team, Haohao Planet. This group is impressive. And also Captain Chanel, and her team member Bai Haorui, Jimu Jinshuo, Mailisa, Zheng Lingge. Goddess level. Haorui. Jinshuo. Hello everyone, we are Haohao Xinba Today, your group As soon as you came up, I was looking for Xu Xin Yifan Where is the team leader? You’ve all become one I’ve already joined Haohao Planet I am from “Crossroads” Here for travel and to find my relatives Chanel A big star I’m the local lifestyle star of “Crossroads” Haorui Hello everyone, I’m from “Crossroads” The second local minor star Jimu Jinshuo Hello everyone My name is Mailisa Pengyitaji I just lost my beloved from “Crossroads” Now I sing for love Hello everyone I’m Zheng Lingge, the one in charge of this street Boss K The one in charge of this street This round, your two teams will have a one-on-one showdown Say some tough words to each other The next “Crossroads” will have only good things, no regrets No losing No opponents Failure won’t come Failure won’t come Ranking won’t drop We’re all friends So cute. Haorui’s little expression is so funny. Next, let’s have Team Chanel return backstage to watch. Return backstage to watch. Return backstage to watch. We’ll give the stage We’ll give the stage to Team Xu Xin Yifan. Where are you? Bucai, come here. What should I do? Sorry. Sorry. When we get back tonight, you can hit me when we get back tonight, okay? What should I do? I’m so mad I could die. I turned everyone else down. You did it just for me? Just for you. Just for you. What should I do? It’s over. You better remember this. Now we’re enemies. Earlier, when we watched the live battle, at that place, we had no idea you two were close. We really didn’t know each other back then. We didn’t know each other. We only met in the dorm. Our friendship started when there were no cameras in the dorm. Yeah. We lived in the same dorm. It was all off camera. We lived together. She always She’s the really nice type. She took great care of us every day. Really took care of us. But she always did it quietly, without saying anything. Then she chose the song “If Life Were Like Wild Grass,” and she was really insecure. She was in a group with Xing’er and the others. And then she didn’t know what she could do. She just felt that everyone else was so outstanding, and she couldn’t help with anything here. She didn’t know what to do. Later, little by little, we told her, “It’s okay, don’t worry.” We encouraged her. Then she gradually became a bit more confident. And then Why did you encourage her so much? It just felt like she was caring for everyone around her. And that gave us the feeling that we wanted to protect her. Mo Yao and I felt the same way. A two-person livestream. At that time, she wanted us to do a livestream with Si Nan and Si Tian. As a group. She meant to go ahead. She kept hinting at it. She kept saying, “It’s okay,” “You guys decide first.” Maybe I’m someone who likes to give a lot. I’ve always been the one supporting everyone. But after coming to the fourth floor, I started to feel that everyone was supporting me. You could feel that they were showing kindness. I felt really at ease with them around. I like this one too. These lyrics. Is it even more prone to crying than we are? What should we do, little girl? Then let’s do this song. Because I think it’s especially… It really hits me. It’s my mediocrity. You’re not mediocre, sis. An unsolvable life traps me—it’s my mediocrity. Yeah, it’s because of this line. And at that moment, I just couldn’t hold back. I really like the lyrics of this song. Sadness, brokenness… Once, there were passionate dreams too. I really used to be insecure. But Good Planet healed me. I think 80% of my confidence comes from them. Now I feel like I’m actually pretty good. Because I think the girls in Good Planet are great. The law of attraction is only when you’re good yourself can you attract great people. They think I’m good, and I think they’re good too. That proves I’m actually pretty good. The winning team will also get a direct advancement spot. So for this round, maybe all of us will make it. If we win, we all advance. I didn’t care about winning or losing before. But now, I do want to compete. To be honest, I really want to win. I want to win together with Good Planet. This song really plays on emotions. Just now, it really had a strong feeling. It felt like I was suddenly pulled back to being a teenager. Like a coming-of-age movie. Good music moves people. This is really good. I feel like my emotional knots have been untied. I’ve told her many times. She’s much better than she thinks. After watching their performance, I was deeply moved. Xu Xinyifan during the “If Life Were Like Wild Grass” period was not confident at all. But after today’s performance, I think she’s much more confident now. Xu Xinyifan And the way she looked back wasn’t gloomy at all. She was very confident and turned around with such composure. Just for this alone, I truly feel Xu Xinyifan did an excellent job. Don’t cry. Whoever falls down, when the other side is being so sincere, the audience will definitely resonate with them. So how can we use a more joyful and explosive stage to connect with them? I think that’s when we give our all, putting in our utmost effort. That will let the audience feel our energy. So I think we just need to do this part well. Can’t catch it Can’t shake it off No love, no hate Can’t catch it, can’t shake it off No love, no hate Can’t catch it, can’t shake it off This is our Our slogan Wrap up and go home For this song selection, we chose a song called “Crossroads.” It has a Broadway kind of vibe. There will be a lot of performance elements. Then, in the practice room, we had a small meeting with everyone. We wanted to make each person’s role more precise. The character setup we have in mind now is like this. So, since we have a crossroads, it’s basically a neighborhood, right? And I’m the boss of that neighborhood. The boss. A female boss. As the female boss, I’m the one in charge of that area. I’m a very confident leading woman. And then, I have a very clear attitude toward life. It’s like, no matter what, I’m the best. Whatever I do is the right thing. That’s the kind of vibe. But my relationship with her is, I come here, and I see someone really bold. Yeah, a very bold boss. Then Chanel comes over and says, I want to challenge her. Why should you be in charge of this place? That’s the feeling. Who am I? Can’t shake me off. The kind for high officials and nobles. I do that kind of song and dance performance. And when I go out, people think that I have some kind of job, right? Then everyone looks at me. Then they come over and write me letters. And leave them by my window. But I’m not like that. So you’re an actress too? Yes. But I’m I’m local. You’re from this street. Yes, I live a local life. In this setting, are you single? Or is your husband away overseas for years? Or what’s the situation? No, no, no. That wouldn’t be good. It’s better not to have one. If I just stay home all day, what would I do? I never go out at all. So many men come looking for me. That’s not good. I think of myself as someone who also loves singing and acting. Every day, when I have nothing to do, I stand in front of the mirror and sing. I dream of being an actress. So what’s the relationship between you two? The two of us? Don’t you two have a duet dance? From the same courtyard In the same courtyard Grew up in the same courtyard Yes, grew up in the same courtyard It’s kind of like that Like an older sister who watched me grow up Yeah Let me look for it I wrote a lot No Don’t call me Xiao Sa My name is Peng Yunmo I’m “crazy” for love There’s someone I love but can’t have So you can’t catch it I can’t catch it either You can’t catch your dreams She can’t catch the person she loves Now it all makes sense I really put myself into a character And then everyone understood better What they should actually do on stage So I think that experience was really valuable Okay, the first chorus Let’s split it into sections to sing, right? But I’m willing to sing the first part That world was messy to begin with Go ahead and sing What do you think? Then you sing I think maybe the whole first chorus Should just go to you No need to split it Then you sing I’m fine with that too Yeah, just let you have it Sure Of course I love you all Everyone agreed that the highlight parts should all go to me. I was really touched at that moment. Xiangxiang is really suited to be the main character. Because she has so much leadership. And as a team leader, she thinks about a lot of things for us. So then, what are each of your strengths and the part you most want to show? What is it? I’ll just mention a few points. There’s one here. What else is there to be afraid of? Didn’t we say yesterday to just come back together directly? That way it’ll be more in sync. Then the right foot. Right. You’re really amazing, Xiangxiang. How can a team leader be so charming? I just like it so much. I feel that being here feels very safe. It feels very safe. Because in the previous group, even though I wasn’t the oldest, but I felt like I had to take on the big sister role. So in the previous group, I definitely couldn’t do something like run to Xiangxiang’s room crying and say I didn’t want to wear a skirt. How can you be so unenthusiastic? Your personality is usually so passionate, so why are you so unenthusiastic about this? So I was really surprised at the time. Chanel was stunned. What do you want to do? Are you unhappy with the song distribution? Or is there something wrong with a certain lyric again? If you don’t want to wear a skirt, that’s fine. Honey, you’re actually very confident. You’re very beautiful. If it’s not about the lyrics, then it’s fine. Alright. I’m betting that I’ll meet a good team leader. And luckily, I did. You really know what to say. I’m a selfish person. But for this stage, our goal is the same. It’s to win this stage. If we win this stage, we have to support our team leader. Since she chose us, we sing for her. We can’t decide the fate of the remaining four of us. So at the very least, we have to help her advance. That’s our original intention. We can’t let her be left in limbo. I think Chanel can win. Chanel has to win. Only then can we win. Welcome to the crossroads. Absolute center position This is really hard to choose This group is too difficult Yes, but it feels different Next, we are about to announce the results from the campus and workplace zones of the audience voting Number one Number two I’ve never cared about winning or losing I didn’t have a competitive spirit before This performance is for her It’s for Good Planet I really want her to win But this time, I really want to win This time, we’re singing for her Because I think it’s worth it I must make sure my teammates advance Number one It’s hard to tell who’s better I can’t bear to watch
