soul collector

Zhang Siting glanced back at the closed dormitory door, Tang Xiu stood there looking at him, his expression was calm and he couldn't tell whether it was joy or dislike, but it happened to be the attitude that made him feel guilty the most.

"What do you want to talk about?" Tang Xiu asked, glancing at the clock on the wall, "I'm a little tired, if we haven't figured it out yet, let's talk tomorrow?"

"Don't, don't." Zhang Siting's face turned red all of a sudden, and he waved his hands hastily, "I don't have a few words. I just want to ask you, in your mind, who is more suitable for the stage, Wang Zhi or me?"

Tang Xiu was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect to ask such a question.

"You shouldn't ask me this question. There are so many mentors in the program group, and everyone has more say in this industry than me. Don't you still think I'm going to rely on the resources behind me to force people to the top?"

"Don't get me wrong. I'm just, just..." Zhang Siting was about to cry, but couldn't get the words out of his mouth.Tang Xiu saw that he was a tall and mighty man with red eyes, and he was almost out of harmony, so he had to soften his voice and said, "Just what? Talk slowly."

Zhang Siting raised his hand and rubbed his face, "I just think you see things very clearly. If you are a fan of the authorities, I really want to know, Wang Zhi or I, which one do you like more?"

"Knowing what this is doing to you?"

"Of course." Zhang Siting said excitedly, "If you don't have an objective understanding of yourself in this circle, you will definitely go astray. Li Ruiming is a vivid example. I'm really afraid, I'm afraid..."

"You have a backer to help, are you still afraid?"

"Senior." Zhang Siting looked at Tang Xiu with a frown, "I think we all know that the backer can only push people, but if you really want to go to a high place, you still have to walk by yourself, don't you?"

There was silence in the room for a few seconds, Tang Xiu suddenly lowered his eyes and smiled, "In all fairness, you and Wang Zhi have their own merits. No matter in appearance or stage style, you are not very competitive with each other. But in terms of character, I like him more."

"why?"

Tang Xiu looked at him and said calmly: "You really can't see why? Wang Zhi is a passionate young man who desperately takes what he wants, concentrates, is persistent, and doesn't get caught up in comparisons and intrigues. Li Ruiming lacks his Pragmatic, and you, without his frankness."

The expression on Zhang Siting's face froze instantly, and Tang Xiu smiled helplessly, "This is the answer you asked for yourself. Let me tell you the truth, don't act like you were bullied by seniors."

The old ancestor tidied up and went to bed, and suddenly remembered something, "Is tomorrow's interview going to deal with Wang Zhi?"

Zhang Siting shook his head, "I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"I only know that Han Yang will help me, but how and to what extent are beyond my knowledge."

Tang Xiu smiled, "So you see."

"What are you looking at?" Zhang Siting looked at Tang Xiu blankly, but Tang Xiu didn't speak any more, lay down and fell asleep with his back facing him.

Early the next morning, the next round of competition system was announced.Tang Xiu received the competition card when he went out early in the morning, with the words "group semi-finals" written on it.

——The players select their teammates according to the order of their popularity in the previous round. There are five players in one team, a total of four teams.Each of the two songs will be performed by two teams. A week later, they will compete on the same stage. The winning team will enter the top ten, and the losing team will be eliminated as a whole.

The rules of such a game are cruel beyond imagination, because under such circumstances, it is no longer putting pressure on everyone fairly.The fate of a considerable number of people is not held in their own hands, but in the hands of players in the upper circle.

Seeing Tang Xiu frowning and staring at the competition system card several times, the guide came over with the camera, "Do you have any opinions on this competition system?"

Tang Xiu raised his head and put the competition card into his pocket, "There are many opinions."

"for example?"

The old ancestor smiled at the camera, "It's hard to say."

The director choked for a moment, saved a clip and said: "Get ready for the interview, there are still four and ten minutes."

Tang Xiu hummed, went to the makeup artist to tidy up briefly, and then followed the guide to the interview room.

The reporter who interviewed was very unfamiliar, as if he had found it from outside.When she saw Tang Xiu, she smiled and said, "You should be interviewed frequently, so you won't be nervous."

Tang Xiu said, "It's true that you're not nervous. Is anyone else nervous?"

"Yes." The reporter said while looking at the camera and adjusting the angle: "The children who came in just now were quite nervous."

Tang Xiu laughed, "Did you answer something wrong?"

"There are some bad answers, and we will edit them out at our discretion." The reporter flipped through the notebook, "Oh, there is a very smart one with a high EQ, called Wang Zhi."

The ancestor laughed when he heard the words, and the reporter asked, "What's wrong?"

Tang Xiu shook his head, "Let's begin."

Tang Xiu has his own traffic, and his performance in the show is also very impressive. No one can touch him anymore, and the show team will naturally not send him the script.The first question the reporter asked was, "You have transformed from an actor to a dancer. You must have practiced very hard, right?"

After the reporter asked this question, he lowered his head and sorted out the outline. This kind of question is basically given by people in the entertainment industry. Tang Xiu has a lot of points to answer. The burden is to practice day and night... But I didn't expect that the person opposite Hong Potian thought for two seconds and said: "Actually, it's okay, it's just normal training, and rest when you're tired."

"..." The reporter looked up at Tang Xiu in bewilderment, and subconsciously scolded him, "Take a break when you're tired, fans must be very distressed to hear that."

Tang Xiu smiled gently, "No. I rest frequently and get enough sleep at night. A child in our dormitory lived in the dance studio some time ago, and I still sleep nine hours a day."

"..." The reporter tried to laugh, "Sleep less and still performed brilliantly, it seems that he is really talented on stage."

The ancestor on the opposite side smiled at him inexplicably and said nothing.

The reporter girl felt that her scalp was numb. To be honest, the most important thing about this morning's interview was Tang Xiu.Before she came out, she went through the questions sent to her by the higher authorities to ask Tang Xiu several times, and went to watch Tang Xiu's performance in the previous few press conferences. Think of it like this.

The person on the opposite side had a calm and gentle smile, but he always seemed to be in conflict when talking to him.

She took a deep breath, glanced quickly through the list of questions, and chose the one that seemed safest.

"Recently, an interview video suddenly went viral on the Internet. It was the day you joined the group that you said you had no experience but you wanted to win. Many fans commented that you are cute and confident. What do you think?"

——If she remembers correctly, Tang Xiu also said on the live PK stage that just ended that he wanted to win.

However, the old ancestor seemed to think about it quite seriously, and said: "Actually, that was just a joke. My original intention for participating in this show, as I said before, is just to fill the schedule and give fans a surprise, that's all. Win and Losing is actually not important to me, after all, this is not my circle."

"..."

The 5-minute interview with the reporter felt like she had spent a long whole day. She watched Tang Xiu walk out of the room with a straight face, and then sighed heavily.

The camera next to him whispered: "Isn't he a debut actor? Has he never been interviewed?"

The reporter looked blank, "I think he did it on purpose, but I can't say clearly."

In the afternoon, the top [-] contestants were gathered in a small recording hall and began to select candidates in groups.Han Yang smiled and asked Tang Xiu, "Have you thought about who your teammates are?"

Tang Xiu also laughed, and said half-jokingly: "After thinking about it for a long time, this competition system is very difficult to be a human being."

Han Yang pointed to the two songs on the wall, "Please make your choice."

The styles of the two songs on the wall are completely different.One is a cool hip-hop style, and the other is lyrical and soft.

This round of popularity ranking will affect the order of song selection in the finals, which is very important for every ambitious player.

Tang Xiu knew very well that if he wanted to do his best to ensure that those who should be able to enter the top ten would finally be able to enter, they should be divided into two groups to choose different repertoires.But most of these contestants are good at hip-hop. There is no doubt that those who are forced to another song will still be able to stand out, but they will show their disadvantages in the next round.

At the same time, such a competition system is equivalent to leaving no chance for people in the lower circle to stand up.Even if it is a dark horse, it is impossible to lead the whole team to counterattack a whole group of highly popular opponents.

Han Yang smiled and said, "How is it? Have you made a decision?"

Tang Xiu glanced at Han Yang, nodded his head, walked out of the team, and went directly to the lyrical side.

There were incomprehensible exclamations from behind, but Tang Xiu himself remained calm.He stood under the song, glanced at the top ten players in his mind, and picked the only two players who were good at lyrical music. There were still two vacancies in the team.

All eyes were on Tang Xiu. Tang Xiu glanced over and found that Zhang Siting was desperately lowering his head. He obviously didn't want to be divided into votes by him, and he didn't want to dance a ballad.Wang Zhi didn't have any special expression on his face, and even made a funny face at his ancestor when he looked over.

"Please name the last two players in your team."

Tang Xiu sighed, turned his eyes away from Zhang Siting and Wang Zhi, and picked two people in the lower circle who were especially good at lyrical dance style.

The comprehensive rankings of these four teammates are not impressive, but being drawn into a group with Tang Xiu seems to be a golden card to avoid death for them to survive to the next round. On stage, stood behind Tang Xiu.

But those players in the upper circle were collectively stunned, not knowing what kind of death Tang Xiu was doing.Abandoning the hottest song and picking up a bunch of tepid teammates, is this for charity?

Wang Zhi was the second to pick a team. He chose another song without hesitation. When picking people, he had to leave Zhang Siting, Old K, a player who is very good at floor movements, and A Bao.

After hearing Wang Zhi say A Bao's name, Tang Xiu heaved a sigh of relief.He turned his head to look at Wang Zhi, and Wang Zhi happened to be looking at him too, as if he had a heartbeat, he winked his eyes as if asking for credit.

The old ancestor smiled helplessly.

In the evening, everyone watched the demo pick-up dance in their respective training rooms, and trained until after eleven o'clock.After going back, Tang Xiu passed a dormitory. This dormitory was almost full of players in the lower circle. The door was half opened. As soon as he passed by, he could see the people inside were lying down on the stools, all wearing earphones. say.

For them, being selected for the PK position in the group with Tang Xiu meant that there was no possibility of turning around.

Tang Xiu stood outside the door and watched quietly for a while, then turned and left without saying a word.
