Chapter 147, "The Fragrance of Rice," is famous.



There is no doubt that the song "Rice Fragrance" has become a hit.

Although "The Coming One" is a variety show that selects idols, the song "Rice Fragrance" has been able to take it beyond the idol circle.

This is, after all, a song suitable for all ages.

When Xia Muge returned to the backstage of the variety show filming, she saw Gu Yu, whose condition was noticeably different from before.

As the saying goes, good health is beneficial to one's appearance. Today, Gu Yu is not the same as he was during the last photoshoot. He is simply dressed casually and carrying a guitar.

Now he's started dressing fashionably and trendily, and he's also gotten a new hairstyle.

Many trainees began to surround Gu Yu.

They had previously flattered Xia Muge, so now they naturally flattered Gu Yu.

They know better than anyone how difficult it is to create a hit song.

That's why they were determined to latch onto Gu Yu's coattails.

The period of popularity for idols is actually very short, only three or four years.

After three or four years, one should make a career change, usually to television and movies, and only secondarily to variety shows.

However, having a hit song changes everything. To put it extremely, a hit song can be a lifelong career for a singer.

While these people were praising Gu Yu, they also didn't forget to 'attack' Xia Muge.

Some people started saying, "Some people seem very capable at first, but they're just all show and no substance."

They are clearly targeting Xia Muge.

After all, Xia Muge wasn't number one, which meant they didn't need to feel as much pressure facing him.

If they could use words to break Xia Muge's mentality, then they would have one less opponent.

Xia Muge smiled slightly and said, "You're right. Do you know why?"

He didn't care about these comments.

To be honest, there's nothing to worry about.

After all, these comments wouldn't actually cause him any pain.

The speaker was taken aback for a moment.

They seemed to find it hard to believe that Xia Muge could be so calm.

In fact, the Xia Muge they expected was one who could descend into mania.

After all, only in this way can they find Xia Muge's weakness.

Just because someone admires the first place doesn't mean the second place isn't good.

Xia Muge looked at Gu Yu and said with a smile, "Congratulations, 'Rice Fragrance' is a very nice song."

Gu Yu looked at Xia Muge, but his expression was not pleasant.

"It's nothing special," he said, though he was somewhat resentful inside.

During this time, he successfully got Qin Sisi to go on a date.

However, during their date, Qin Sisi kept talking about Xia Muge, and even said that she liked men like Xia Muge.

Although Qin Sisi's expression of liking stemmed from a fan's affection for their idol, he still felt somewhat dissatisfied.

What's so good about Xia Muge?

On Weibo, there are quite a few female fans who are paying attention to "The Coming One". However, although the most discussed topic is "Rice Fragrance", the person with the most new fans is actually Xia Muge.

He even suspected that Xia Muge was buying drugs.

But thinking about it, buying followers doesn't make much sense now.

After all, Weibo now requires real-name registration and strictly investigates online trolls.

In this situation, celebrities almost never buy followers; those who aren't popular simply aren't popular.

So he was a little jealous. Why was Xia Muge able to attract so many female fans? Wasn't it just because she was good-looking?

Fortunately, the final result was good.

He won the second song, "Stubborn".

However, this song could not be played on the guitar as it was originally. He first found a recording engineer to record it.

As a result, Qin Yingying's favorability rating increased by 5 points, bringing her total to 65.

It's safe to say that he should have no problem confessing his feelings to Qin Sisi now.

However, he still didn't confess his feelings, because he felt he wasn't good enough for Qin Sisi yet.

He had planned it all out: the moment he won the championship would be the moment he confessed his feelings to Qin Sisi.

Ideally, Xia Muge should be trampled underfoot first.

The recording of the second episode has begun.

The rules of "The Coming One" are naturally not like those of traditional talent shows, which involve selection followed by elimination.

After all, entertainment companies produce this show not just to debut one person, but to debut a group of people and maximize profits.

Therefore, the show adopted a round-robin format to ensure that almost everyone had basic exposure.

After the selection rounds, the performances begin, followed by scoring.

The bottom ten in the overall ranking after two scoring rounds will be eliminated.

This will continue for a twelfth time, and then they will debut.

With an episode airing almost every week and a total runtime of three months, the show can create a batch of idols who garner attention in just three months.

In this way, both the production team and the company will gain the greatest benefit.

Since there were no eliminations, almost everyone was relatively relaxed at this point.

However, for some reason, Gu Yu suddenly stared at him.

He whispered, "Just wait, I'll prove to you that your dancing is nothing compared to my music."

Xia Muge simply chuckled softly.

"I hope so. I really hope you can succeed."

He didn't care about it.

However, seeing Gu Yu's confident demeanor, he knew that Gu Yu must have obtained the song again.

However, so what if it's a song?

If he only tries to win over one person, he definitely won't be able to win the championship.

Therefore, Gu Yu will inevitably have to win over more than two people on this variety show.

So, if he were to make a scene, he would definitely suffer the consequences and face boycotts.

However, due to the nature of the system, this impact will likely be mitigated through public relations efforts.

But that doesn't matter; all he wants is to reduce its luck value.

In fact, Xia Muge could have easily taken over the male protagonist's harem, just like in the previous worlds.

But don't forget he's an entertainer.

In this situation, if he tries to conquer someone else's harem, even if he succeeds, he could easily backfire.

Moreover, the male protagonist in this world doesn't have a harem, but rather a single female lead; he relies on the entertainment system.

Therefore, trying to seduce his women is pointless.

It's fair to say that, without being able to directly attack the protagonist, this protagonist is probably the most troublesome protagonist Xia Muge has ever encountered.

However, because of Xia Muge, the entertainment system was transformed into a romance system.

The protagonist's personality is inherently impulsive. How could someone like that possibly be flawless in love, making the other girls willingly become his harem?

He was getting more and more excited for the show.

Gu Yu looked at Xia Muge with suspicion.

Has this person already given in to him?

Haha, in that case, he's smart to be sensible.
