Soon, the performance came to an end.
Almost everyone received feedback from the mentors, except for Xia Muge and Gu Yu.
Xia Muge is a qualified, even excellent, idol, and there would be no problem for her to debut at this time; Gu Yu's song is sure to be a hit, which reflects his commercial value.
However, if asked about their inner preferences, they would prefer Xia Muge.
Originality is not stable.
Talent itself is a hindrance.
However, the excellence of "Rice Fragrance" itself makes it impossible for them to say it's bad against their conscience.
Although not everyone can accept Jay Chou's songs, in today's world, Jay Chou's songs can indeed "sweep across the entire world".
Gu Yu stood in the center of the stage and was praised.
Some people, however, watched Xia Muge with schadenfreude.
In their eyes, Xia Muge should be number one, which is why they fawn over him.
So, what they were thinking was that a king had been overtaken by a dark horse.
Although they weren't the dark horse, that doesn't mean it's unpleasant.
If it were the original Xia Muge, she might have already lost her composure.
But now he can accept the result with equanimity. After all, debuting in first place wasn't his wish.
He just wanted to bully the main character.
It has to be said, the protagonist has incredibly strong luck.
After the first place winner is determined, the next step is to form teams according to their ranking.
Xia Muge himself was somewhat uninterested.
On the trainee stage, the trainee is a commodity, and he is the best 'quality' among the commodities, so it is not surprising that he gets a high ranking.
So, he really wanted to know how Gu Yu would win over other women and get the song in the next episode?
Moreover, even if we get the song now, what about afterwards?
As long as he keeps pursuing women, there will eventually come a time when his affair with multiple women will be exposed.
At this moment, Gu Yu also calmed down.
The winner in the current round of selections is not necessarily the winner who will debut in the final round of the show.
So what about his second song?
Without a system, his creative ability is limited to the chord progressions he learned in school. Does he have to start trying to woo women now?
[Ding, a target matching the strategy has been detected.]
[Name: Zhao Ying]
Occupation: Celebrity.
Gu Yu was slightly taken aback.
He looked toward the judges' table.
A female judge named Zhao Ying was watching him with a smile, as if cheering him on.
…
After more than five hours of shooting, the shoot finally came to an end.
The next shoot is scheduled for four days from now, during which time many people will be able to return to their companies.
Xia Muge finally met her agent, Wang Feifei.
As a key talent being groomed by Huayu, Xia Muge's agent is naturally no newcomer.
In fact, Wang Feifei is already a veteran agent at Huayu, having managed several A-list celebrities and possessing a wealth of entertainment industry resources. She also owns 5% of the shares in Huayu.
Huayu is currently facing a talent shortage. With a promising talent like Xia Muge, Huayu naturally cannot let a newcomer mentor him.
In the story, Xia Muge did many irrational things after being provoked by Gu Yu multiple times, and Wang Feifei quickly gave up on him.
After all, Huayu is a company, not a police station, and is not responsible for discipline.
"Hello, I am your agent, Wang Feifei. You should have heard of me."
She said, "It's okay if you haven't heard of it, I saw your performance."
Wang Feifei paused for a moment, then said, "I know you have high aspirations, but you performed quite well this time. It's just that Gu Yu's song was of such high quality that you only came in second. But songs like this don't come around often. So don't worry."
Xia Muge's personality used to be all about striving to be number one.
This personality trait has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that Xia Muge strives for perfection in this area, but the disadvantage is that if he encounters setbacks, he is likely to give up easily.
In the storyline, Xia Muge started to slack off after getting second place.
Actually, he might still have a chance. As long as he performs well, even if he doesn't debut in first place, he can still gain attention.
Even though most people's attention was focused on Gu Yu, some people were still paying attention to Xia Muge.
After all, not everyone likes songs from Earth.
The era of record chart dominance is over.
However, Xia Muge was unable to adjust his original mindset.
This is indeed a very critical problem.
But Xia Muge doesn't care about any of that now.
He said, "Don't worry, I don't care that much about it."
Wang Feifei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you understand this."
"Remember this: in this industry, minor success depends on talent, while major success depends entirely on fate. Huayu is an established company, and there are many resources waiting for you. Even if you don't debut as the champion in The Coming One, it won't affect these things."
It's fair to say that, aside from the system, Xia Muge's starting point is much higher than Gu Yu's.
He nodded: "I understand."
…
…
At the same time, Gu Yu celebrated to Qin Sisi that he had won first place.
Qin Sisi smiled and said, "You're really amazing. I wasn't there, but I could tell you were fantastic."
Qin Sisi's words made Gu Yu feel smug.
However, to his dismay, Qin Sisi's affection for him did not increase as a result.
The system had reminded him that he would receive a reward for every 10 points of favorability he gained.
However, Qin Sisi's current level of affection for him is still 50%.
Gu Yu was a little nervous.
In fact, Xia Muge had this intention in setting up Gu Yu's "golden finger" to change from being a fan to being in love.
Love can't be rushed.
Fans will keep paying attention to you just because you sing a song.
However, a woman won't fall for you just because you can sing.
It must be said that Xia Muge's methods were extremely insidious.
He started to get anxious and said to Qin Sisi, "By the way, I'm free for the next three days. I... I'd like to ask you out. I'd like to have dinner with you. Thank you."
He's like a shy boy who's hitting a straight ball.
Qin Sisi smiled and said, "Okay."
[Ding, Qin Sisi's affection for you has increased by 5.]
Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
In that case, he should be able to draw other songs soon.
He couldn't help but think of Zhao Ying again.
If he can win over two girls at the same time, will he be able to get more prizes?
Gu Yu was actually a little tempted.
However, he was unaware that by doing so, he would fall into Xia Muge's trap.
At this moment, Xia Muge naturally didn't care where Gu Yu was or what he was doing.
Before he became famous, he suggested to Wang Feifei that he go home first.
Wang Feifei did not refuse.
"Relax these next few days, but remember not to eat too much, and keep up with your figure."
