This tumultuous week passed quickly, and everyone welcomed the second episode of the "Star of Tomorrow" top ten competition. This episode was full of gimmicks and dominated the hot searches for a whole week. The number of viewers increased a lot compared to the first episode.
The contestants naturally put in their best efforts. Since Ye Cang's strong performance last week, the direction of the competition has become more and more confusing.
Zheng Zhao and his teammates had just finished rehearsing and walked out of the studio when they ran into Ye Cang and Li Zihang. The two seemed to be talking about something and didn't notice him at all.
Zheng Zhao's face suddenly sank: "Wait!"
Li Zihang stopped and looked at him. Zheng Zhao took a step forward and was about to say something harsh to the two.
However, Ye Cang seemed to have heard nothing and walked right past him. Only when he found that Li Zihang had not left did he ask in confusion, "Is there something wrong?"
Li Zihang looked away as if nothing had happened, "Nothing."
The two of them walked past Zheng Zhao without noticing.
Zheng Zhao was furious and looked at the two men's backs with resentment.
I'll let you be arrogant for a while longer. When the live broadcast ends tonight, you will disappear from this show forever!!

In order to ensure the show's watchability and excitement, the contestants' rehearsals are separated. Except for the on-site staff, even the instructors cannot see.
Xia Fei has always respected the rules of the program group, but this time he was unexpectedly unable to restrain himself. After the last game, he was very optimistic about Ye Cang, but he did not expect that Ye Cang would win the "Summer Insect". This made Xia Fei, who originally wanted to protect this good seedling, firm his stance.
After all, one is a newly discovered rookie, and the other is an idol he has admired for many years. There is no need to worry about which is more important.
Even so, he was still a little uneasy as the game approached, but the rules couldn't be broken, so he had to do the next best thing and let his assistant watch the rehearsal.
Xia Fei was waiting in the hotel. When his assistant came in, he quickly asked, "How is it?"
The assistant looked at him and hesitated to speak.
Xia Fei could not help but feel a little annoyed: "Speak up!"
The assistant had been with him for many years and knew that he was always stubborn. Moreover, this time it was about his idol Lu Yang, so it was simply a dream to ask him to be lenient. However, the assistant thought of the two shining people on the stage, and hesitated again and again before saying: "Boss, considering that I have been with you for so many years, and I have worked hard even if I have not made any contributions, can you be gentler to this group?"
Xia Fei: "???"
Xia Fei could not believe his ears. This assistant had been with him for many years, and he was honest and loyal, but he didn't like to talk. This was the first time he made such an unreasonable request to him. He didn't know what he saw that caused him to react like this.
But no matter how Xia Fei asked, the assistant said nothing more.
Xia Fei not only did not feel better, but became even more worried.
This led to his unprofessional performance for the first time. He was absent-minded throughout the competition. Therefore, the players and the audience found that the usually sharp-tongued teacher Xia was unexpectedly gentle this time. Even Zheng Zhao, who made a mistake, was not severely criticized. Zheng
Zhao was originally heartbroken after the mistake, but Xia Fei seemed to have not noticed it at all. He made a few comments and let them go.
Zheng Zhao breathed a sigh of relief with fear. When he walked off the stage, he happened to see Ye Cang and Li Zihang preparing to go on stage from the other side. Anger suddenly rose in his heart. He originally wanted to perform well and severely suppress these two people, but he did not expect that he would make such a low-level mistake.
But it doesn't matter, he comforted himself, Xia Fei would never let them advance, he would still win!
When it was Ye Cang and Li Zihang's turn to play, Xia Fei suddenly became energetic, obviously much more focused than before. There was a lot of discussion on the scene and in the bullet screen, everyone knew that the climax was coming.
[I thought Teacher Xia had changed, but I didn't expect that he was holding back a big move! ]
[Brother, sob sob sob sob]
[Countdown to slap in the face...]
[I don't fucking believe that Ye Cang, a loser, can still make it to the top six! If he makes it to the top six, I will eat shit
live! ] [Is it the brother from last time? Can you eat the shit from last time first? ]
Ye Cang's attitude was relaxed, as if he didn't know what kind of Shura field he was about to face, but Li Zihang was unusually nervous. He just found out this morning that his grandfather would also be there, and the difficulty of "Summer Bug" also made him a little unsure. When he was about to go on stage, his throat was a little tight.
Ye Cang remembered that Shen Huai promised to watch his game from the audience, but it was so dark in the audience that he couldn't find Shen Huai's position at all.
Ye Cang withdrew his gaze with regret, and then he noticed that his teammate was in a strange state. He bumped into Li Zihang's arm: "Are you nervous?"
Li Zihang choked, and his idol burden instantly broke out. He said calmly: "Who is nervous? It's nothing."
Ye Cang raised his eyebrows and showed a tacit smile.
Li Zihang: "..." My teammate is annoying!
But after this joke, his mood was strangely calm.
Li Luan frowned and complained, "No one is on stage yet, what are they arguing about!!"
The assistant was helpless: "Chairman, fans are like this."
Li Luan snorted coldly: "Don't I know? I was..."
"Ah!!!"
Before Li Luan finished speaking, he was almost scared by the miserable scream beside him. He realized that Li Zihang and Ye Cang had already gone on stage, and the fans' screams suddenly increased to a higher level.
The two people who came on stage amid the screams were wearing retro striped suits, their hair was lifted up, and only the top two buttons of their shirts were unbuttoned. Their Adam's apples were faintly visible, exuding an abstinent and sexy temperament. This is a tribute to Lu Yang's costume in "Summer Insects". It set off a popular craze in China at that time. Thirty years later, its power is still undiminished.
However, as the lights dimmed, the scene gradually became quiet.
The two stood back to back, Li Zihang facing the stage, and Ye Cang facing inside.
As Li Zihang signaled to start, a burst of fierce drums suddenly appeared, and then Li Zihang played a smooth prelude with his guitar. His tone quality is excellent, and his sense of stage is strong. He took the lead and set off a wave of heat at the beginning.
This adaptation is very good. Even the picky Xia Fei had to admit that his brows gradually relaxed.
Li Zihang lived up to the expectations and played steadily, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
Then the tune changed, Li Zihang and Ye Cang switched positions, and there was a noticeable gasp from the audience.
Ye Cang had a slicked-back hairstyle, revealing his full forehead. He seemed to have eyeliner on the corners of his eyes, which made his black pupils look even deeper. He held the microphone in one hand, and his eyes indifferently swept down the stage. Even though he hadn't started singing yet, he had already domineeringly grabbed everyone's attention.
When he sang the first line of the lyrics, almost everyone felt goosebumps on their bodies. The scene seemed to be silent for a moment, and then applause broke out.
Just one sentence, and the winner was decided.
Xia Fei widened his eyes, as if he didn't believe what he heard.
Li Luan's reaction in the audience was similar to his. They had listened to the song "Summer Bug" tens of thousands of times over the years and knew it well. There were many people who imitated Lu Yang over the years, and some had a similar voice, but they were only similar in form and not in spirit, lacking the domineering aura that Lu Yang had on the stage.
However, Ye Cang was different.
His voice was very different from Lu Yang's, and the changes in the arrangement made it completely different from the original song, but it reminded them of a person.
- Lu Yang.
In terms of timbre, Ye Cang was not as good as Li Zihang. In terms of strength, the previous elimination rounds had proved that Li Zihang was also stronger than Ye Cang. However, in this song, Li Zihang was completely suppressed. It's not that Li Zihang performed poorly, but that Ye Cang was too strong. The powerful explosiveness in his singing and the intensity of his wholehearted emotional involvement made his teammates look particularly thin.
He was like the sun that suddenly appeared, unreasonably covering the light of other stars.
Such a person is not suitable for chorus, because as long as you stand on the stage with him, no matter who you are, you can only be a foil.
However, Ye Cang's performance is not limited to this. The
original "Summer Bug" is more about the darkness, temptation and struggle in the adult world.
However, at this moment, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the endless darkness.
Ye Cang's high notes were clear and transparent, as if he had broken through his own range, but he performed flawlessly and easily. Then he switched between his true and false voices many times, and it was smooth, natural, and stable as if he was in a recording studio.
The audience was shocked, and some even covered their mouths tightly, not daring to make any sound even when breathing. The camera swept across the judges' seats, and the expressions of the three judges were no different from those of the audience.
Shen Huai's eyes followed Ye Cang, and his heart seemed to be itching, as if the question he had been chasing for all these years finally had an answer.
Ye Cang on the stage was completely different from usual. He was like a magnet. Once you accidentally saw him, you could never look away. He seems to care nothing about anything, but he has a devout belief in the stage. He can endure thirty years of loneliness and still maintain this strong and pure love. The stage naturally gives him the most powerful weapon.
Invincible and irresistible.
Xia Fei looked at Ye Cang, with a passion in his eyes that he himself did not notice.
Such aura, such expressiveness, he has only seen one person in all these years.
