The week passed quickly.
The closer the day comes to the ranking ceremony, the thicker the unspeakable atmosphere among the trainees becomes.
Because everyone understands what the fair new ranking means, which means fifty-seven to thirty, which means that some girls will go their separate ways.
Even before the real date of separation came, some trainees were already saying thank you to their instructors for taking care of them during this period of time in the teaching class.
In the last class, the instructors hugged every trainee, but no matter how hard it is to leave, the day will still come.
In this way, today the trainees finally ushered in the second ranking ceremony.
"We all saw the time the trainees spent training together in their themed evaluations. We didn't know if we would be able to get on stage. Practicing under such circumstances would make everyone feel uneasy and confused."
"But even so, everyone will rely on each other and work very hard to cheer for each other. This has touched many people, including me."
"Decided by the national producers' vote, what will be the outcome of the survival and exile of the 57 trainees?"
"Now, it's officially open to the public!"
Lee Seung Gi returned as the MC in this ranking ceremony.
Just like the first ranking ceremony, the first person announced this time is still the one before the elimination.
The 29th place is Luo Gaoen, with a total of 480,000 votes.
After Na Go Eun, Lee Seung Gi continued to announce the trainees ranked 28th to 21st, and it is worth mentioning that when it came to the 27th place Miho Miyazaki, the ones above all had 500,000 votes.
The number of votes far exceeded the first ranking ceremony.
After all the trainees ranked 21st to 29th were announced, it was the turn of the 13th to 20th trainees to be announced.
Next, Pei Yourong, who was sitting at the bottom, heard a name that was particularly familiar to her for the first time.
Choi Ruina ranked 16th. Compared with last time, she dropped 6 places and also fell out of the debut circle.
As another trainee who has fallen out of the debut circle, when Choi Ye Na's ranking was announced, it caused quite a stir among the trainees.
When someone falls out of the debut position, it also means that there will be new people entering the top 12.
The next name that appeared was that of Pei Yourong's acquaintance - Jin Caiyuan, who suddenly jumped up 10 places, from 25th to 15th.
The moment Lee Seung Gi read Kim Chae Won's name, Kim Chae Won couldn't help but shed tears.
Subsequently, the 14th-placed Wang Yiren and the 13th-placed Miru Shiraima were announced. So far, only the 12 places in the debut circle have not been announced in this ranking ceremony.
Pei Yourong glanced at the remaining roommates who had not yet been announced, and knew clearly that they should all have entered the debut circle.
Compared with the last time, the announcement process this time was undoubtedly much faster. Even though it took a lot of time for the trainees to give their speeches, when the 12th place was announced, many trainees still thought in their hearts, "Why did we end up here?" time" thought.
"In the first ranking announcement ceremony, trainees Goto Moesaki, Lee Chae-yeon, Choi Ye-na and Wang Yiren who entered the debut rankings have been announced. Which trainees will be in the top 12?"
"First of all, the twelfth place is announced. She is the center of "Touch" on the Ergong stage. Honda Hitomi, a trainee from Neon, congratulations!"
Hitomi Honda is standing at the "twelfth" position for the second time. She is also the first trainee with 700,000 votes in this ranking.
The eleventh, tenth, ninth and eighth are Heo Yunzhen, Jo Yoo Ri, Lee Jia Eun and Kim Min Joo respectively.
It is quite surprising that Xu Yunzhen climbed up 11 places and entered the debut circle as a newcomer, but the seventh winner announced next brought everyone more surprise than the former.
The seventh place is Miyawaki Sakura.
When Miyawaki Sakura's name was read, Pei Yourong couldn't help but turn her head. In her field of vision, Miyawaki Sakura also showed the same surprised expression as the other trainees.
Pei Yourong felt her hand being held tighter by Miyawaki Sakura, and those belated applauses were like waves of urging, constantly telling Miyawaki Sakura that it was her time to take the stage.
Miyawaki Sakura hugged Pei Yourong gently, as if she could see the worry in Pei Yourong's eyes, she did not forget to give him a bright smile before leaving.
Looking at the girl on the stage who was delivering her speech in a fluent tone, Pei Yourong felt a little dazed for a moment. In her memory, her Sakura Oni was a sensitive and tearful person, which seemed to be completely different from the figure who was talking under the light now. Two different individuals.
But the facts told her that it was indeed the same person.
"I'm a current idol!"
As if suddenly, Miyawaki Sakura's voice rang in Pei Yourong's ears. It was a sentence Sakura Oni often said. Pei Yourong didn't understand it before, but now she began to understand.
She originally thought she knew Miyawaki Sakura well enough, but in the end she only knew Miyawaki Sakura after "pd48", and she never seemed to really understand Miyawaki Sakura in HKT48.
Those stubbornness that had been evident for a long time finally showed a more concrete aspect in Pei Yourong's eyes. The Ernie who would accept her tissue with red eyes was actually an idol with a strong heart.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Miyawaki Sakura returned to her seat and felt that Pei Yourong looked at her differently than at the beginning.
"If possible..." Pei Yourong stared at Miyawaki Sakura, "Unnie, please tell me your story in Neon."
"Why?"
"Why? I just want to know."
"Why...so sudden?"
"Will Ernie tell me or not?"
"There's really nothing I can do about you."
"That's it? Have you made an appointment?"
"knew."
On the stage, Concubine Kwon Eun-bi's name was read out by Lee Seung-gi after Miyawaki Sakura, and then the fifth name, Nako Yabuki, was also announced.
So in the end, there are four candidates left.
"It's that time again. Next, four candidates will be announced based on ranking. Then, please look at the big screen!" After speaking, Lee Seung-gi pointed towards the big screen.
After a delay of five seconds, the faces of four girls appeared on the screen.
There are three very familiar faces - Pei Yourong, An Youzhen and Zhang Yuanying, as well as a brand new face who replaced the last fourth place, Miyawaki Sakura - Jiang Huiyuan.
"8D trainee Kang Hye-won, it is said that he was ranked 21st last time, and now he instantly jumped to the 1st alternate. How do you feel now?" Lee Seung-gi asked curiously.
"Liar...liar, right?" Jiang Huiyuan was a little confused now.
"Liar? It's not a lie." Li Shengji couldn't help laughing after he said it, "Speaking of which, I haven't been called by my name since just now, but I look very calm. What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about what I would like for a late night snack if I get eliminated."
After Jiang Huiyuan finished speaking, the surroundings burst into laughter from other trainees.
"Okay, I understand, then let's interview trainee An Youzhen and appear among the first candidates again. What do you think?"
“Thank you so much to National Producers for your support!”
"What's your expected ranking?"
“I’m very satisfied if I can maintain the 2nd place from last time.”
"Don't you have any ideas for No. 1?"
“I feel like it’s a bit difficult to compete for first place.”
An Youzhen said while looking towards Pei Yourong.
"Ah, trainee Pei Yourong is indeed a very threatening candidate." Li Shengji noticed An Youzhen's gaze and agreed, and then took the lead in announcing the fourth place.
"The fourth place is from STARSHIP——"
"Trainer An Youzhen, congratulations."
Amidst the applause, An Youzhen stepped onto the stage.
"Although I am a little sad and a little disappointed after my ranking dropped, I will work hard to improve myself and show everyone my handsome and beautiful side. Please remember An Youzhen!"
Another round of applause sent An Youzhen off the stage.
"Then the third place will be announced."
"She counterattacked all the way from F..."
"The pure rapper from hell, trainee Jiang Huiyuan, congratulations!"
When Jiang Huiyuan came on stage, the trainees also applauded warmer than ever before.
"Actually, I understand that I still have a lot of shortcomings in my abilities, and I am very grateful for everyone's overwhelming love. I am really happy living with everyone. There are always people who help me when I encounter difficulties. I am able to come to " pd48》, it’s really great for me to meet everyone.”
While talking, Jiang Huiyuan shed tears.
Pei Yourong was sincerely happy for Jiang Huiyuan. She was the one who witnessed the birth of the miracle. Maybe hard work may not necessarily bring good rewards, but after hard work is rewarded, what people taste is definitely sweeter than any candy in the world. .
At the end, everyone finally came to the moment to announce the 1st and 2nd place.
Pei Yourong and Zhang Yuanying stood side by side on the stage, but Li Shengji chose to ask the younger Zhang Yuanying first.
"Trainer Zhang Yuanying, how does it feel to be in the top two for the first time?"
“Feeling lucky and feeling nervous.”
"Do you think you have a high chance of winning the first place?"
"It feels like there is a 100% chance of being second."
Zhang Yuanying stuck out her tongue playfully, making the trainees laugh.
Amid laughter, Li Shengji began to interview Pei Yourong again.
"We meet here again, trainee Pei Yourong."
"Inside."
"If, I mean if, if you won the first place again, what kind of thoughts would you give?"
"I……"
"Please wait a moment, our trainee An Youzhen didn't get a haircut this time, right?"
When Li Shengji said that, he glanced at An Youzhen sitting underneath him seriously.
An Youzhen smiled and shook his head.
After joking about Pei Yourong, Lee Seung-gi finally made the official announcement.
"Now I would like to announce to you the winner of the second ranking ceremony."
"Still, trainee Pei Yourong."
"congratulations."
Applause started almost as soon as Li Shengji finished speaking. Pei Yourong first hugged Zhang Yuanying, and then began to deliver another speech.
"Actually, in addition to everyone at the scene and all the producers in front of the screen, there is another person I want to thank."
"Although I don't know if she will watch this show, I still want to say to her-"
"Onie, Xiao Pei, I'm back!"
