Chapter 583 From Down-on-his-luck Assistant to Top Agent (39)
During the song selection process before the show started, Jiang Huaizhi immediately asked Jin Shu for her opinion.
"Just sing what you're good at."
"What I'm good at... I don't know what I'm good at."
"The song you sang to me that day was pretty good, let's choose that one."
Jiang Huai hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously.
"I haven't polished that song yet, and besides, won't it be too ordinary?"
The reason Jiang Huaizhi felt it was ordinary was because he had watched the previous episodes of the show, where everyone was showing off their skills, and each song they sang was more technically advanced than the last, which was quite impressive.
If he chooses the song he composed for the show, which has a bland melody and lacks any skill, it might be considered too mediocre in the eyes of other contestants.
Although Jiang Huaizhi didn't expect to get a very good ranking, since he was already there, he couldn't let Jin Shu down.
Jin Shu could tell what he was thinking at a glance.
"If you listen to me, then sing; if you have other ideas, then it's up to you."
"I'll listen to you."
Jiang Huai was the most obedient; no matter what, he would always follow Jin Shu's rules.
So Jiang Huai submitted the program schedule.
On the other side, Zhao Yiran was also choosing a song to participate in the competition with Gu Xing.
Gu Xing knew in his heart that this was his last chance.
He used to rely on his power and disregard everything.
But now he also has to rack his brains for opportunities.
"Just sing 'Surrender,' and you'll definitely become a sensation!"
Gu Xing frowned.
"But this isn't my song, and I've never sung it."
"I didn't say you had to sing your own songs. Of course, you have to choose something challenging. You have the ability and skill. Trust me, just choose the most difficult one, and you'll definitely make a name for yourself!"
Zhao Yiran became more and more excited as she spoke.
She could almost see Gu Xing winning the championship.
Gu Xing definitely has the ability.
"I want to sing my own original songs."
"Your original work may not necessarily find buyers! But the popularity of this song speaks for itself!"
Gu Xing, you can't be as willful as before. This is our last chance. If you don't seize it, even a god couldn't save you!
Gu Xing, who used to be arrogant and dismissive of everyone, was now silent.
He was looking down, seemingly lost in thought.
Suddenly, he stood up, picked up his phone, and went outside.
Where are you going?
"bathroom."
In the stairwell, Gu Xing stared at a string of numbers on his phone, hesitated for a long time, and finally dialed it.
After a long time, just when he thought no one would answer, a familiar voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone.
At that moment, Gu Xing's breath caught in his throat for a few seconds.
"Jin Shu, I have a question for you. Which song do you think would be more suitable for me to choose for this competition?"
After a moment of silence, a voice came from the other end.
Sing what you want to sing.
"Jin Shu, this is very important to me, you know that."
"Hmm, so what?"
The other person's tone was cold and devoid of any emotion.
Gu Xing gritted his teeth, his whole body tense, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally said with great difficulty.
"Jin Shu, can I trust you?"
Believe it or not.
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
Gu Xing stared at his phone for a long time before finally returning to the preparation room.
"I still want to sing my own songs."
Zhao Yiran stared at the phone in his hand, as if she had seen through something.
Did you call Jin Shu?
Gu Xing kept his head down and didn't say anything.
Zhao Yiran sneered repeatedly.
"You need to think this through. You and her artist are rivals! If you listen to her, you're truly doomed!"
I took such a huge risk to help you, and in the end you want to listen to the enemy's advice?
enemy?
Gu Xing had never thought of this.
In his memory, Jin Shu was still the assistant who always stood behind him and solved everything for him.
When he saw Zhao Yiran's angry face, he suddenly realized something.
Yes, Jin Shu is now his enemy.
——
At the preliminary round, Jiang Huaizhi was the first to go on stage. As the melodious and soothing music began, the man closed his eyes and his voice flowed out as gently as a clear spring.
This is a song about childhood. In the lyrics, a man in the wheat fields follows his grandmother's footsteps, walking through the mountains and forests, past the springs, and arriving at the dilapidated little house.
Inside the small house, a kind grandmother is cooking, while a mischievous boy is playing freely with his beloved puppy.
A song, infused with all my emotions.
Even after the song ended, the entire audience remained immersed in those childhood memories.
Finally, all four judges gave him a big thumbs up.
Jiang Huaizhi cleared the game without any surprises.
Soon, it was Gu Xing's turn to go on stage.
Before the performance began, Gu Xing watched Jiang Huaizhi's performance from the audience.
He was absolutely confident that Jiang Huaizhi's strength was definitely below his own.
But when the melody started playing, even he couldn't help but feel a warm current welling up in his heart.
In terms of both emotion and lyrics, Jiang Huaizhi won by far too much.
Fortunately, he can outsmart Jiang Huaizhi in terms of skill.
As soon as the opening notes started, Gu Xing went all out, his extremely exaggerated high notes and dazzling singing style truly ignited the atmosphere on stage.
The performance has ended.
There are six groups of contestants in total, and only one person from each group of three can advance.
As it happened, Gu Xing and Jiang Huaizhi were assigned to the same group.
In other words, only one of them can advance.
Zhao Yiran was very confident about the final result.
Before going on stage to announce the results, Zhao Yiran confidently told Gu Xing.
"Just listen to me, that's the right thing to do. Compared to the difficulty of your song, Jiang Huaizhi's song is just child's play!"
Gu Xing nodded, but his brows remained furrowed.
A sense of pressure was weighing on his mind, and he couldn't calm down until the results were in.
Although he himself felt that Jiang Huaizhi's songs were no match for his own.
Soon, all the singers took to the stage in groups.
When it was their group's turn, Jiang Huaizhi, Gu Xing, and another contestant stood on the stage, waiting for the judges' selection.
At this moment, the host picked up the microphone.
"Our new season of singers has adopted a new scoring method, changing from the previous judges' choice to the current audience's choice."
The contestants' scores are no longer limited to the judges' choices, but are also given to the audience.
Alright, audience members, please pick up your voting machines. If you want Gu Xing, please press 1; if you want Jiang Huaizhi, please press 2. And so on…
In the new season, audience choices account for 50% of the rating system.
In other words, the final winners will be determined by a combination of the judges' votes and the audience's votes.
The numbers behind him were being pulled to their limits.
Gu Xing glanced sideways at Jiang Huaizhi.
The other person didn't seem nervous at all, calmly looking at the audience.
