The dressing room backstage was silent, and all the contestants had complicated expressions. After all, no one had considered Ye Cang a competitor before. Who could have thought that reality would give them such a big shock?

The contestants behind Ye Cang were pale and filled with despair. Zheng Zhao's expression was not much better. He has always been arrogant, but he was already very unhappy because Li Zihang had taken away most of the limelight. Now even a fool like Ye Cang can step on his head. How can he bear it!

Zheng Zhao looked around and quietly left the dressing room while no one was paying attention.

When Ye Cang got off the stage, he saw Shen Huai waiting at the entrance. He walked over, put his arm on Shen Huai's shoulder, and asked with a smile: "How did I perform? Did I embarrass you?"

Shen Huai was not used to being so intimate with others. He wanted to take Ye Cang's arm off, but he noticed that his forehead and neck were covered with sweat, and his lips were a little pale. Then he remembered that his body had not recovered yet. So Shen Huai silently moved his hand to his shoulder, and in Ye Cang's surprised eyes, he said in a calm tone: "You can lean on me a little."

Ye Cang was not that fragile. He just wanted to tease his overly calm agent. He didn't expect to be misunderstood. He didn't explain, and leaned on Shen Huai without any hesitation.

Although Ye Cang is thin, he is a big man after all. Shen Huai almost couldn't stand when he leaned on him like that, and his glasses slid down half an inch. Ye Cang then noticed that his agent's eyelashes were long and thick. The light fell on them, making them look furry, like a small brush, gently rubbing against Ye Cang's heart.

However, Shen Huai quickly straightened his glasses. Ye Cang put away his strange thoughts and said "tsk" in disappointment.

Shen Huai looked at him inexplicably.

The two walked to the backstage and saw a figure flash into the stairwell. Ye Cang didn't care, but Shen Huai recognized that it was Zheng Zhao, one of the players.

Shen Huai was confused. What was he doing in the stairwell during the competition?

He supported Ye Cang and didn't have time to think deeply, so he could only put it aside for the time being.

——Zheng

Zhao didn't know he was seen. He walked to the stairwell, looked around, and after making sure no one was there, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

As soon as the other party answered, Zheng Zhao hurriedly called out, "Uncle!"

Zheng Zhao's uncle is a small leader of Zhongjing TV Station, named Wu Jianguo. It was he who arranged for Zheng Zhao to participate in "Star of Tomorrow". It was also his instruction that the program team had been consciously or unconsciously praising Zheng Zhao during the editing of the previous program.

Wu Jianguo lowered his voice: "It's live! What are you doing!"

Zheng Zhao spoke very quickly: "Uncle, I remember you said that you can control the program of random song selection, in a moment..."

Wu Jianguo quickly covered the microphone and secretly left the crowd before speaking again: "Didn't we agree that the thing should be used when the competition is halfway through?"

The biggest feature of the program "Tomorrow's Star" is the random song selection every other episode. The contestants turn their backs to the big screen and stop the song at will. They sing the song they stop at. Whether they can choose the song they are good at depends entirely on luck, which is quite exciting. In the past, there were contestants who were eliminated because they chose songs they were not good at.

Although fans scolded the program team for having a pit in their brains, it must be said that such a competition system is more tense and exciting, and it is easier to create topics.

Wu Jianguo had long been planning to change the competition system. He bribed the staff who controlled the program and secretly changed the program, but he originally intended to use it to deal with Li Zihang. Li Zihang and Zheng Zhao are not far apart in strength. If Li Zihang randomly draws a song that is extremely difficult and impossible to handle, the balance will tilt towards Zheng Zhao. If he operates well, he can eliminate people without anyone noticing, and Li Zihang can only blame himself.

Wu Jianguo had already thought of a strategy, and now that it was disrupted by Zheng Zhao, he was naturally unhappy.

Zheng Zhao was very stubborn: "No, use it now, give it to Ye Cang!"

Wu Jianguo was stunned: "Ye Cang?" He said disapprovingly, "He just performed exceptionally well once, why are you so worried, your opponent is still Li Zihang."

Zheng Zhao shook his head, thinking of what Ye Cang said in the bathroom, he gnashed his teeth in hatred, he didn't care how strong Ye Cang was, but he wanted to make sure that this person could never appear on the stage again.

Wu Jianguo couldn't persuade Zheng Zhao, so he had to agree to him.

Zheng Zhao put away his phone and returned to the backstage. It was the time for commercial breaks. Most of the contestants had finished their competitions and were chatting in groups of three or four. Ye Cang, who had been ignored, was surrounded by the crowd. He was no longer as cramped as before and looked like a fish in water.

Zheng Zhao looked at him angrily, then closed his eyes and prepared his own competition repertoire.

Perhaps because Li Zihang and Ye Cang's overly strong stage performances raised the audience's expectations, they felt that the next few performances were a bit tepid, until Zheng Zhao came on stage.

In the end, only three people were promoted directly, namely Li Zihang, Ye Cang and Zheng Zhao. In the past, Zheng Zhao would have been secretly proud of himself, but when he saw Ye Cang, he felt something stuck in his throat. Although

the subsequent PK competitions were full of highlights, people who had eaten a big meal would not care about these light porridge and side dishes. Except for the fans of those players who were still cheering for their idols with true feelings, the netizens' minds were already drifting to the next game.

The next game was a cooperative stage. The players would choose their teammates according to the order of promotion and compete in groups. The winners would all advance to the next level, and the losers would PK within the group and eliminate two people. This still requires some strategy. Choosing teammates who are too strong will certainly increase the chance of winning, but once you lose, the chance of being eliminated is also higher, not to mention that the random selection of songs is full of variables. Netizens can't help but start making plans on the bullet screen.

Shen Huai asked Ye Cang: "Have you decided who to choose?"

Ye Cang shrugged: "I don't know, let's see what happens. Maybe someone will recognize a hero and choose me. It's not my turn to worry about this matter!"

Shen Huai was speechless.

Li Zihang happened to hear this sentence, lowered his eyes, and thought about it.

-

After the two PK games were over, the list of the top eight players was officially determined.

The host interviewed all the top eight players, and then asked the first player to advance, Li Zihang: "Zihang, the next round is the cooperation stage. You have to choose one person from the remaining seven players to be your partner. He is both your teammate and your opponent. Do you have a candidate in mind?"

Li Zihang nodded.

The host: "Wow! Then let's see who Zihang will choose as his partner!" Li

Zihang looked to the left, and then raised Ye Cang's hand.

Ye Cang: "???"

Li Zihang said lightly: "I choose Ye Cang."

The audience was stunned. After all, Li Zihang and Ye Cang had never worked together before. Their styles were completely different, which made it impossible to imagine what their cooperation would be like.

The host came to his senses and held the microphone to Ye Cang: "Ye Cang, are you willing to be a partner with Zihang?"

Ye Cang was just talking nonsense, but he didn't expect that he was right. However, he didn't care and said to Li Zihang shamelessly: "Brother, you have a good eye!"

Li Zihang: "..." What should I do if I suddenly feel a little regretful?

Zheng Zhao, who was standing next to him, could hardly contain his ecstasy. Although he had wanted to use the random song selection function to eliminate Ye Cang before, it was not safe enough. Now that Li Zihang had chosen Ye Cang as his teammate, Ye Cang would definitely be eliminated in the PK competition. As for the possibility that the two of them would defeat him on the cooperative stage, he had never thought about it.

Zheng Zhao chose a player who was also very strong. According to the rules, they automatically became opponents.

The host interviewed Zheng Zhao: "Are you confident that you can beat such a strong team like Zihang and Ye Cang?"

Zheng Zhao said with a knife in his heart: "I am very confident. I came here to win. I also chose strong teammates. I will not choose players who are not strong but have a lot of topics. That is disrespectful to the audience and opponents."

Zheng Zhao's words mocked Ye Cang and Li Zihang at the same time. It

was the first time that Ye Cang was told that he was not strong. He felt a little strange and couldn't help but look at Zheng Zhao more. There was no fragment of the two people being enemies in the original owner's memory. That could only be the hatred he had caused.

He sighed, excellent people are really envied wherever they go.

Fortunately, Zheng Zhao didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would probably be angry to death.

The host was just trying to create something interesting, but he didn't expect Zheng Zhao to be so awesome. He immediately got excited and quickly passed the microphone to Ye Cang: "Ye Cang, what do you want to say after hearing the challenge from your opponent?"

Ye Cang chuckled: "Oh, I just hope our opponent can cheer up and prepare well for the next PK match."

The host almost thought he had heard it wrong: "P...PK match?"

Ye Cang said casually: "Because I will definitely win the next match."

His words were like lighting a gunpowder barrel, and the scene was in an uproar. Zheng Zhao was already crazy enough, but he didn't expect Ye Cang to be even crazier than him. The next match will be exciting!

Zheng Zhao smiled, but he was MMP in his heart, gritted his teeth and thought to himself, I'll show you something in a while.

When the groups are divided, it's the most exciting moment of drawing lots.

Li Zihang hesitated for a moment and gave the chance to draw lots to Ye Cang. The screen started to scroll, and Ye Cang casually called a stop. Then he heard a burst of exclamations from the audience. Li Zihang's expression was also indescribable.

"Brother, I have good eyesight, but you are not so lucky."

Ye Cang turned his head and saw the very familiar song on the screen.

"Summer Insects", lyrics and music: Lu Yang; original singer: Lu Yang.

Ye Cang: "..."

This is Lu Yang's famous song, a song that must be mentioned when talking about rock music. This song is extremely popular and has a high difficulty that matches its fame. And because the original singer is too classic, no one has surpassed it so far. Singing this song during the competition is simply courting death, not to mention that one of the judges in the audience is a die-hard fan of Lu Yang. The song "Summer Bug" is the white moonlight in the other's mind that cannot be tarnished.

Xia Fei's brows have slowly wrinkled up.

Zheng Zhao watched, and the pride in his heart was about to overflow. He let out all his anger and felt indescribably comfortable. He wished that next week would come immediately and he could see these two people being scolded half to death by Xia Fei and being trampled under his feet.

The host asked Ye Cang with a little sympathy: "How do you feel now that you have drawn such a difficult song?"

Ye Cang said honestly: "...very good."

His relaxed expression formed a sharp contrast with the solemn expression of Li Zihang behind him.

Zheng Zhao didn't believe it at all, and complained wildly in his heart: Why are you pretending! I'm afraid you don't even know how difficult this song is!

The host didn't believe it either, and asked with a smile: "It seems that you are familiar with this song?"

Ye Cang nodded and answered seriously: "Yes, I am familiar with it."

Zheng Zhao's face was almost distorted: I let you pretend, just wait for a slap in the face!!
