Xia Muge once again secured second place.
For many trainees, what he attracted was not envious glances, but rather pity.
After all, he came in second for five consecutive periods, which means he was the biggest loser.
The second place winner is the biggest loser.
However, he wasn't in a hurry.
After all, besides the judges, there are also some directors and company personnel who are paying attention to this show. He understood very well that if he became an idol, he wouldn't have a fan base, but he could completely curry favor with these people and gain some access.
He will strive for anything, including the web series resources that Wang Feifei mentioned she would give him.
Soon, the judges began to evaluate him.
It's still the same few sentences over and over again; it's still about how hard they tried, but it's a pity.
"Working very hard" means that almost no one is in better shape than him.
After several rounds of intense filming, many trainees' mental state deteriorated, and some were even on the verge of collapse.
Xia Muge always manages to perform at his best.
They naturally wouldn't know that Xia Muge was a superhuman with exceptional abilities, and that his physical attributes had become extremely strong due to the system's rewards.
Even if he cannot cultivate immortality in this world, he is still extremely powerful.
Therefore, he has an advantage in becoming a star, at least he doesn't have to worry about gaining weight or losing hair.
Xia Muge's humility left a deep impression on the judges.
In contrast, the judges said, "There's nothing to say about Gu Yu."
That one sentence alone made Gu Yu somewhat arrogant. He began to feel that these trainees were not worthy of being on the same stage as him.
Fortunately, he wasn't stupid.
They knew they couldn't publicly mock these trainees.
However, seeing Xia Muge's proud and aloof demeanor, he still felt inexplicably displeased.
If his previous idea of giving a song to Huayu's trainees was just that—an idea—he's now thinking about putting it into action.
He knew that Huayu's resources were also limited; if others had more, Xia Muge would have less.
After having this idea, he began to consider its feasibility.
He wanted to trample Xia Muge underfoot.
After the filming of the program ended, he informed Xu Yuanyuan of the news.
After all, songs can't be given away for free.
Xu Yuanyuan was puzzled, clearly not understanding why Gu Yu was targeting Xia Muge so much.
After all, in Xu Yuanyuan's opinion, someone like Xia Muge, even if he doesn't make it in this show, will still make it in the next one.
He's just a talented singer, not someone with influence; he can't use his talent to suppress others.
Moreover, how could a company as large as Huayu possibly focus solely on training one person?
While some resources will certainly be allocated to others, it wouldn't be unreasonable to share some with Xia Muge.
However, seeing that Gu Yu insisted on doing this, she thought about it and decided to grant Gu Yu's wish.
At this point, Gu Yu is also trying to win over Xu Yuanyuan, and he has made some progress. Xu Yuanyuan, of course, will fulfill Gu Yu's wishes.
Zhou Ming, the trainee from Huayu who was hit by a windfall, immediately felt a surge of pride and triumph.
The people at Huayu didn't quite understand why Gu Yu gave the song to Zhou Ming, but that didn't stop them from using the song to cultivate Zhou Ming.
The traffic generated by a good new song could change Huayu's current situation.
After having this idea, they immediately poured resources into Zhou Ming, and even Wang Feifei stopped paying attention to Xia Muge.
It's worth noting that Wang Feifei used to care about Xia Muge's fatigue and would teach him how to manage his Weibo account and his followers.
But it hasn't been around for a while now.
Clearly, Zhou Ming gave Wang Feifei hope.
Xia Muge responded with a sneer.
How long can someone who can only sing other people's songs stay popular?
Take Zhang Jie for example. He's a well-known singer, but without good songs written by others, he wouldn't have become so popular.
Moreover, the entertainment industry that Zhang Jie works in has many top-notch lyricists and composers.
Even so, Zhang Jie's popularity gradually faded.
If it weren't for the resources that Hunan TV hosts kept providing, things would have been even worse for them.
In this world, Gu Yu, in a sense, controls a monopoly on resources. This world is set up so that only he can write good songs.
If Zhou Ming becomes famous because of one song, what about the second one?
Is it your own original work? Or are you buying songs from Gu Yu?
How long can this kind of rootless, floating popularity last?
However, Xia Muge also knew that Huayu was a large company after all, and it probably wouldn't just sit idly by and wait for its demise.
In short, none of this has anything to do with him.
He has no need to scheme for Huayu.
However, it remains to be seen whether Wang Feifei will still provide him with the web series resources she promised him.
…
…
Zhou Ming is currently enjoying great success and is very proud of himself.
No one expected that he would actually gain Gu Yu's favor and receive Gu Yu's song.
He knew that he had no connection with Gu Yu, so the only connection he had was with Xia Muge.
Gu Yu dislikes Xia Muge.
Many trainees actually know this too.
And now, his intention is probably to train Zhou Ming to deal with Xia Muge. Coincidentally, this also aligns with Zhou Ming's wishes.
Zhou Ming dislikes Xia Muge.
Before he participated in the show, he was actually the one who fawned over Xia Muge the most.
Perhaps to cover up his sycophantic nature, he started targeting Xia Muge.
However, at first, it was just about grabbing dance studios.
While Xia Muge was practicing dance, he came here: "You used to use this place all the time. Why should you? You've been using the dance studio for so long and you're still only second place. You might as well give it to me."
Some of the trainees' eyes sparkled.
Upon learning that Zhou Ming had obtained Gu Yu's song, they began to fawn over Zhou Ming and criticize Xia Muge, saying, "Yeah, why are you the one who keeps using it? We need to practice dancing too."
Xia Muge said calmly, "If I remember correctly, the dance practice time slots are all pre-arranged."
Zhou Ming, however, said nonchalantly, "I need to practice more, is that not allowed?"
He looked at Xia Muge and said, "Besides, with your talent, you don't even need to practice."
That's simply asking the impossible.
After all, each episode has a theme, and it's very difficult to develop muscle memory for dancing. If you don't dance for two or three days, your skills will deteriorate significantly.
Therefore, every dancer must practice every day.
This is physically demanding work.
Xia Muge chuckled: "You remind me of a word."
"What?"
"You're just riding on someone else's coattails," he said lazily. "Besides, Gu Yu isn't even a tiger, and you're already fawning over him like this?"
His words made Zhou Ming feel embarrassed and angry, and he immediately cursed, "What do you think you are? You're just relying on your face, aren't you?"
Xia Muge said calmly, "Ah, I have a face, so what?"
He scoffed, and Zhou Ming was furious.
