"Now, the top 30 contestants in this cooking competition have been announced. Congratulations to you all. For those who did not advance, don't be discouraged. Making it to the top 50 out of thousands of contestants nationwide is already an exceptional feat. We hope you will continue to strive and, if you wish, we welcome you to participate again next year. By then, I'm sure we'll see an even more outstanding version of you," An Haiyin said.
"Next, we'll have the judges announce the theme for the next round of the competition. Contestants can use the time until the next round to think and prepare," An Haiyin continued.
Gu Changfeng then announced, "The theme for the next round is 'Oceans.'
The advancing contestants looked at one another, bewildered.
Such a broad theme, offering both opportunity and challenge.
With such a wide range, there's a lot they can choose from.
But because the range is too wide, it's hard to pinpoint the focus.
