My agency went bankrupt before I even got on stage.

Five songs, five practice rooms.

After selecting their songs, each team found their own practice room. Now that there were only 30 people left, the entire training camp suddenly felt much emptier. It wasn't so obvious during the first round of eliminations, but now, after the second round of eliminations, everyone suddenly realized that there were several times more staff members than trainees.

Each trainee now has two accompanying PDs and lead actors, instead of just one. Having two PDs working together to develop the storyline and dialogue is incredibly satisfying. Many trainees feel like they're already big stars.

Two cameras zoomed in on you from two different angles, while the director kept cutting to different shots from behind. Not to mention the trainees, even the fans in the live stream felt that their idols had suddenly become more fleshed out, no longer just stereotypical figures, no longer just simple background shots. Everyone had more angles to appreciate these handsome young men.

For example, Zhuo Yuanquan. Initially, everyone's impression of him was that he was a big devil, capable of everything and better than everyone else in everything, but he also inevitably seemed a bit aloof, unsociable, and unlikable. However, as the storyline progressed, everyone realized that the big devil they saw wasn't so cool in private. He was a bit shy, a bit silly, and a bit stubborn, but once you got to know him, he became very easy to talk to.

For example, Li Xiaodong, because he looks young, his family background was also dug up by fans and the public. Some people even criticized him for being so rich, yet still competing with other trainees for a chance to debut. Li Xiaodong has never responded to these things directly.

However, after the live broadcast of the 6th season of "Morning Star", everyone saw that Li Xiaodong has never been arrogant or domineering because of his family background. Putting aside his family background, he also works hard. He never complains during training, never drags down his teammates' performances, and actively livens up the atmosphere in his spare time. He is simply an ideal idol!

Take Lu Bingyang for example. From the beginning, he was labeled as a talented singer and dancer, giving the impression that he was destined to debut. However, no one is born with exceptional singing and dancing skills. Lu Bingyang is not a naturally gifted contestant, but rather a hard-working one.

Although Lu Bingyang has studied classical dance since childhood and has a very solid foundation, he has a very obvious weakness: he is slow to learn new things. This is particularly problematic in the "Morning Star" program, where participants are required to learn a new song and a new dance within a limited time.

Therefore, he could only spend more time practicing, familiarizing himself with, and mastering the skills. Every day, apart from eating and sleeping, he would stay in the training room as much as possible.

Many other trainees also gained a more complete and well-rounded appearance.

The fans are thrilled!

Everyone has a different side, and everyone gradually begins to show their true self under the camera. Perhaps some people hide it better, but with continuous live streaming, even the best-hidden people will be exposed. For example, a student from a certain camp in a previous life was accidentally filmed smoking an e-cigarette in the dormitory, and a foreign contestant was caught not using honorifics when speaking his native language, and even using profanity.

Some people might say, "Oh, it's not a big deal," and even many die-hard fans would try to defend him. But this is exactly the kind of life Lin Fan doesn't want. Every action he takes will be magnified, and even a carelessly uttered word will be interpreted in different ways. He can't be free.

Lin Fan doesn't want to live such a tiring life, nor does he want to burden his fans or take up public resources because of his minor flaws.

Fortunately, so far, Lin Fan's fans have only discovered some good habits. For example, Lin Fan is not entirely a lazy person who sleeps. Although Lin Fan complains a lot, he works very hard when it's time to practice, which perfectly reflects the saying: "I really don't want to debut, but I can't affect my teammates' performance. At the very least, I can't let them down."

What's outrageous is that Lin Fan, who loves to sleep so much, actually spends an hour working out every day. When viewers accidentally saw Lin Fan's eight-pack abs and V-line through the live stream camera, all that was left in the live stream was screams.

In addition, everyone once again witnessed Lin Fan's three unique skills of washing, cutting and styling, as well as various skincare tips and fashion knowledge. These are all Lin Fan's paid services. Although many of his previous VIPs have been eliminated, as long as he has the skills, Tony the hairdresser will never lack customers.

Of the remaining 29 students, nearly half became Lin Fan's new clients, with people lining up every day to wait for Tony Lin's favor.

In fact, aside from practice, fitness, and sleeping in, Lin Fan spends most of his time styling the students. In response, the stylists and makeup artists of the "Morning Star" program said in their self-interviews that this is the highest-paid, least-worked, and easiest job they have ever done in their careers. Many stylists and makeup artists even said they wanted to become Lin Fan's apprentices, after all, Lin Fan is the real Tony.

……

Everyone has their own dream, and at this moment, everyone's dream is the same: to debut! To become that rising star!

When only 30 people remained, the desire and dream of debuting became even more intense, because the chance of debuting had been increased to 30%, whereas before it was only 10%. Now it had tripled. If they could eliminate the other two, they would definitely debut and become a rising star! A true morning star!

Therefore, everyone practiced desperately, striving to present their best and most dedicated selves to their idols, hoping to garner more votes. What they presented to the camera were backs soaked with sweat time and time again. After returning to their dorms and turning off the lights, some would collapse into bed immediately, while others, like Chen Xianwu before them, would silently weep.

Because I was just too tired.

Being able to stand out from so many students across the country is already a remarkable achievement, but there's always someone better. No matter how hard you work, there will always be someone even more hardworking.

However, debuting is not that simple. It is not enough to rely solely on one's own efforts. External resources are the most important. Therefore, the benefits given by the second ranking announcement, that the top nine trainees can go to the variety show "Ace vs Ace", have become the most enviable thing for all the trainees.

The top nine are naturally very fortunate, as they can directly enjoy top-tier resources, giving them a boost to their debut and attracting more casual fans.

The other 21 trainees were extremely envious.
