Jiang Tao didn't feel the ups and downs on the Internet at all. He just stood outside the interview room, kept arranging his clothes, and studied the webpage for a long time, and finally tied his tie.

It was obviously the interview scene of the "Sing with Soul" singer selection contest, but Jiang Tao was as nervous as a young man who had just left the society and was participating in the job application for the first time.Even what Jiang Tao was wearing was a black suit that he bought from the mall for thousands of dollars...

Of course, even if he was dressed inappropriately, Jiang Tao's appearance is still very outstanding. Even if he puts wax on his hair, even if he wears a black suit that the participating singers don't choose, he is still a handsome guy!

But for some reason, Jiang Tao always felt that the people around him looked at him with hostility.

It's obviously just the first meeting, why are everyone acting so unfriendly?

"No. 45, Jiang Tao, it's your turn!"

Before Jiang Tao could figure out why, he heard the door next to him open, and a woman who looked like an assistant came out, shouting in a bad tone: "Is Jiang Tao here? The time of the judges is very precious. , no time for you amateurs to waste."

"I'm Jiang Tao." Jiang Tao immediately got up from the waiting bench, even if the other party was just an assistant, he didn't dare to offend him at all.Jiang Tao remembered that when he came for an interview last time, it was this assistant who came out and called him. He still remembers the extremely contemptuous gaze of the other party.

"Ah?" Seeing Jiang Tao in a suit and leather shoes getting up from the chair, the assistant was obviously taken aback, and his extremely impatient expression calmed down instantly. Under Jiang Tao's shocked gaze, he walked over with a smile on his face, "You are Jiang Tao , looks very energetic, go in quickly, the comment teacher is already waiting for you."

"Thank you...thank you..." Looking at the female assistant who enthusiastically opened the door for him, Jiang Tao felt a little out of control for a moment. The other person smiled like a flower, which was completely different from the contemptuous expression last time.

Walking into the interview room and seeing the same lineup of judges as last time, Jiang Tao's hands couldn't help shaking, and his mind and body were in a state of complete tension.

Will he be driven away before he even started singing like last time?

He still used the name "Jiang Tao" to sign up this time. Although he had already spent money to find someone to modify the photo of his ID card, these judges should remember that he had interviewed Jiang Tao, right?

Will you think of something?

Will you hear his voice?

Will all of this be exposed!

"Jiang Tao?"

The voice of one of the judges interrupted Jiang Tao's wild thoughts, and then he saw the judge looking at the registration form in his hand with some confusion.

Just when Jiang Tao thought the other party had discovered something, the judge sighed and said: "This name is not fashionable enough. If you want to debut, you may have to change your name."

"It's okay, just with this face, calling Jiang Goudan is considered a personal characteristic." Another elderly female judge looked at Jiang Tao and kept smiling, "Young man, there seems to be something wrong with your image."

coming!

Jiang Tao still remembered that when he was eliminated last time, the reason given by the other party was that his "image was not up to standard"!

"Indeed." The third judge also nodded and said yes, and said under Jiang Tao's nervous eyes, "As a draft singer who hasn't debuted yet, this suit is too old-fashioned and doesn't suit you at all. If it were me If so, I will definitely suggest you to wear some casual clothing that can expose your neck and slightly narrow your waist, which will definitely show your advantages in multiples."

"But it's okay!" The female judge smiled, as if comforting Jiang Tao, "Our program team will arrange a special designer for the contestants, and there is no problem in making you the signature of our program."

He hasn't even said a word since he came in, how did he suddenly become the signboard of the show? !

The completely different style of painting in the two interviews made Jiang Tao uncontrollably excited at the same time.Jiang Tao, who has always been timid, gritted his teeth, tore off the tie around his neck and threw it on the ground, unbuttoned his suit jacket, and finally asked boldly, "Mister judges, can I sing?"

"Ah!" The judges looked at each other and smiled as if they just remembered, and finally the female judge reached out to say hello, "Sorry, then Jiang Tao, you can start your performance now. Also, you It’s much better now than it was before.”

After Jiang Tao placed the prepared accompaniment tape, he walked to the microphone in front of the judges, closed his eyes, forced himself to calm down in the melodious and slightly sad melody, and sang the song he was most familiar with——

"Going far away, the road ahead is bleak,

……

I take off the mask, give up the pretense,

Change clothes and start to return home.

……

My mother's temples are gray, and she has long been unable to read the ten lines of the family letter clearly.

Looking at the village head every day, until the old wall is covered with frost.

……

My son has gone home, but you sighed long and long,

Ask me why, I changed my appearance,

Half life frivolous,

Clothes full of tears. "

The music stopped slowly, but Jiang Tao still seemed to be intoxicated in the song. He believed that he had exerted his strongest strength, using his voice and range that were even better than before, to play the song to the limit.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Tao mustered up the courage to open his eyes, looked at the judges in front of him, and found that each of them looked at him with a smile on their faces, without contempt or disgust. In their eyes, he was an excellent contestant Those who are overweight, not the overweight person who weighs more than 300 kilograms.

"Do you like Zhong Qin's songs very much?" The female judge seems to have the most favorable impression of Jiang Tao, "This song "Homecoming" is actually different from most of Zhong Qin's songs, but it is Zhong Qin's favorite song Song."

"Yes." Another judge also answered, "When Zhong Qin sang this song for the first time, he almost cried. It was also one of the top ten classic scenes of this big singer's concert."

Jiang Tao noticed that the mood of these judges suddenly became very excited, and the camera next to it, which was originally used as a display, was now lit up, and it should have started shooting.

"Yes, I like Mr. Zhong's song very much." Thinking that what he said would be recorded by the camera, Jiang Tao immediately became cautious, "And I am also a person working away from home, so I heard this song for the first time. When I was there, I had a very deep feeling.”

"As the lyrics say, every time I go home, I can see my mother waiting at the door, crying and hugging me and saying... Son, you seem to be fatter than when you came home last time."

When the judges heard the first half of Jiang Tao's words, they all nodded appreciatively. After all, these experiences will become one of Jiang Tao's labels in the future.And when they heard Jiang Tao's last sentence, all the judges thought he was just joking, so they didn't take it seriously.

"How can you be considered fat!" For the sake of the show's effect, the female judge slapped the table exaggeratedly, "Look at you, you are so thin, if you are seen by future fans, you might feel so distressed!"

"It's just ordinary but great maternal love. Teacher Zheng is also a mother, so she should understand better." The other judges immediately responded.

"Thank you, teacher judge." Jiang Tao smiled politely, trying to hide the bitterness in his smile.After all, any mother would probably cry when she saw her son, whom she had not seen for a year, gain dozens of pounds.

"Speaking of fans, Jiang Tao, your voice seems familiar."

Hearing the judges' words, Jiang Tao's heart was in his throat, but he still said very calmly: "Thank you, teacher judge, although I don't know if it is because of this reason, but before signing up for the competition, I sang on the Internet. It's called Jianghai Botao."

"Ah, I know you!" The female judge seems to be in charge of this kind of startled character, "My daughter has heard your song before, and she is talking about a male voice, right?"

"So, I'm really embarrassed." Jiang Tao breathed a sigh of relief, acting like a shy big boy.

"There were a few online singers who came to the audition before, but neither Jiang Tao nor you are as impressive in terms of image or voice." Another judge spoke more directly, "However, like any contestant, your singing skills He has not entered the professional field yet. When he sang the song "Homecoming", he didn't have the shock of Zhong Qin's emotional burst at all."

"I……"

Before Jiang Tao could continue, the judge raised his hand and continued: "But "Singing with Soul" is not just a stage to express yourself, but also a stage to select and train newcomers. So our happiest It's not a polished pearl, it's an uncut diamond."

"So... Congratulations Jiang Tao, you have obtained the official ticket for "Singing with Soul"!"

"As the judges of the first test, we are all looking forward to the moment when you and Zhong Tianwang sing together on the same stage and sing "Homecoming" together!"

The impassioned remarks of those professional judges almost made Jiang Tao's blood that had been hidden deep in his heart boil. He couldn't help shouting "Yes!" in front of the camera, and then hurriedly thanked several judges .

"Okay, the camera can be turned off." After Jiang Tao left the interview room, the judges immediately greeted the staff, and all leaned back on their chairs to rest.

"It's a good seed that can cause topics."

"With the paragraph just now, the pre-match highlights can be regarded as a good deal."

"It's not time to get off work..."

Jiang Tao didn't know what happened in the room after he left. He is now the same as when he left the Hundred Ghosts Grocery Store. Every step is almost floating forward, as if the whole person is bathed in sunshine and warm wind.

"What are you proud of!"

Just as Jiang Tao was about to leave, there were whispers from other contestants behind him.

"That's right, it's just good-looking. If you don't have the strength, you will be eliminated in the end!"

"Isn't it good to act with this look? What are you doing to compete with us for a spot in the singer selection?"

"People with good looks these days still want to rely on their strength to make a living, so what about ugly people like us!"

……

"Hahahaha!" Jiang Tao suddenly burst out laughing in front of those contestants.

When the people on the left and right looked at Jiang Tao with weird eyes, they saw this guy laughing and said to them in a state of stomach ache: "Could it be that you just looked at me like an enemy because I Too handsome? Hahahahahaha!"

"It's because I'm so handsome? Hahahaha!"

Jiang Tao just smiled and walked away, leaving the other contestants sitting there in a daze, holding back a word for a while.

"This guy, isn't he too arrogant?"
