===Chapter 591 The First Contestant===

The Coming One once ushered in the first year of internet talent shows with its original format of "three tracks and nine brands".

Both Xu Fan's emergence and the final result have gained recognition from the industry.

The "New Idol" strategy has always been an important strategy for Tencent Video's self-produced variety shows, and the second season of The Coming One represents a continuation and replacement of the first season, as well as an even more important stage.

The program focuses on selecting "personal idols," aiming to discover undiscovered musical geniuses from ordinary people, much like Xu Fan did in the past, and to accelerate the musical dreams of the contestants.

"Musicality" is also an important element that distinguishes it from other idol programs.

The second season of The Coming One aims to create a music idol brand and become a professional music idol program of the year, selecting music idols who lead the current trend.

The core values ​​of The Coming One Season 2—leading, clashing, and being trendy—are based on reflections on Chinese youth culture and the youth market.

Talented and individualistic young people need a stage to grow freely and create a chemical reaction, to let all souls speak out and collide, and to let all voices be heard here.

On this stage, different trends, music genres, and core values ​​collide and are tested, ultimately revealing the unpredictable trends of the year.

When Xu Fan walked through that door, the live stream instantly split into three sections. Each viewer could click to watch the section they wanted, and the other sections could be viewed later as replays.

You can also choose to watch all three sections at the same time, but when singing, you must choose one of them.

In fact, everyone chose their rooms based on their own preferences and tastes.

During the second season of "The Coming One," countless viewers flocked to Xu Fan's live stream.

At this moment, after Xu Fan walked in, An Ran followed.

It just so happened that An Ran was hosting the event in this room. After An Ran walked in, she came up to Xu Fan and said earnestly, "Brother Fan, it's been a long time."

Xu Fan smiled and said, "Yes, it's been quite a while."

An Ran said, "All the contestants are ready. Shall we begin now?"

Since it was a live broadcast, Xu Fan and An Ran naturally couldn't say too much. Now that everyone was ready, they started immediately.

The host said, "Okay, then I'll have them come in one by one in order."

Xu Fan walked over and sat down in his seat, nodded, and said calmly, "Please welcome Zhou Zihao, the first contestant on the Duxiu track."

As soon as the voice faded, a boy walked in from outside, his eyes seemingly shining as he looked around.

Xu Fan nodded, seemingly recalling Xue Laiyi's catchphrase, and said with a smile, "Please begin your performance."

Contestant Zhou Zihao nodded and said, "Hello, Brother Fan, my name is Zhou Zihao. I'll be performing an original song called 'Even If the Whole World Doesn't Love Me.'"

Xu Fan didn't speak, Zhou Zihao nodded, and then music started playing.

Zhou Zihao started singing; his voice sounded a bit old, but it was still okay.

"I suddenly realized that I can be happy even without you."

"Suddenly I realized that time can play tricks on stories."

"No more clinging, no more letting disappointment in love drown the future."

"No more silence, it's time to break out and speak my mind."

Zhou Zihao's voice wasn't exactly pleasant to listen to, but even Xu Fan had to admit that it was quite unique. Unlike many people's hoarse voices, his voice seemed to carry a special kind of emotion.

Xu Fan didn't intend to interrupt anyone singing, so he continued listening to Zhou Zihao sing.

Sitting next to him was Miss Su, who listened very attentively, a hint of excitement occasionally appearing on her face.

But the singing continued, and countless spectators watched the boy singing while holding the microphone in both hands.

"Even if the whole world doesn't love me, I will learn to live bravely."

Even if we just brush past each other, I can pretend I never came in.

"Even though I used to be cowardly, I have really changed a lot now."

Even if He Zui cries in his dream, he will still fight on after closing his eyes and waking up.

The singing was slow but very charming. When the song ended, everyone was stunned.

Even Xu Fan had to admit that the song was really good, especially the chorus, but in other aspects, it wasn't particularly amazing.

After finishing his song, Zhou Zihao bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, I'm done singing."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Overall, it's not bad. Is this song your original composition?"

Zhou Zihao nodded and said, "Yes, I wrote it myself."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Overall, the lyrics of this song are indeed very good, but I must say that they still need to be revised. The words in the verses are too simple and straightforward, lacking a central theme. I'm right, it's the chorus. Those lines in the chorus are indeed well-written, such as 'Even if the whole world doesn't love me, I will learn to live bravely,' and 'Even if we brush past each other, I can pretend we never met.' They are indeed well-written."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Zihao nodded slightly and said gratefully, "Thank you."

Xu Fan continued, "But that's not enough for me to give you 666, because as of now, your singing is still a bit lacking, and your arrangement isn't complete enough. But I think you still have room for improvement, so I hope you can keep your love for music. I'm giving you a 'wait and see' rating. I hope you can surprise me with one song."

Zhou Zihao nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you."

You could see the disappointment on his face, but he still maintained a smile.

At this moment, Miss Su smiled and said, "My thoughts are similar to those of the superstar. The chorus of this song is indeed very good. I especially like those two lines, 'Even if fate has already arranged it, I will still be willing to take the beating and face the choice. Even if I am considered a big shot, I will never back down.' You see, it is really interesting, and the last line."

As Ms. Su finished speaking, she opened her notebook, looked at the lyrics she had written down, and continued, "Even if tears keep falling, I wipe them away and smile, saying, 'I'm happy.'" These lyrics seem simple, but they have a special feeling. So, what I want to say is that you are really amazing.

Zhou Zihao thanked him again, but ultimately he retreated to the back of the stage in a pending manner.

The host, An Ran, invited a second contestant in. The contestant was nonchalant and sang a little off-key. Xu Fan was disappointed and passed over.

Then, Xu Fan began eliminating or selecting 666 one by one.

Some people are indeed just filling in the numbers; their singing isn't bad, but it's really hard for them to meet Xu Fan's requirements.

However, some people are different. They have great singing voices and well-written lyrics, so Xu Fan would naturally give them a thumbs up.

And so, one by one, all the participants in the Solo Show began to sing, and Xu Fan would give some comments and thoughts, including some of his personal views on music.

Until a young man stood in front of Xu Fan.

He couldn't help but smile.

Because he recognized the young man with glasses.

He was also holding a guitar in his hands.

===Chapter 592 Zhong Yixuan's New Song===

For Xu Fan, some friends are very precious.

For example, Xue Laiyi was a good friend who was both a teacher and a friend. To Xu Fan, Xue Laiyi was a lamp in his life, a lamp that flickered but was extremely brilliant.

The boy in front of me, just like I used to be, wore black-rimmed glasses and carried a broken wooden guitar.

His name is nice to hear and interesting.

He was the first friend Xu Fan made when he participated in The Coming One; his name is Zhong Yixuan.

Zhong Yixuan stood there, needing no introduction, but still earnestly said, "Hello everyone, I am Zhong Yixuan. I've been here before on The Coming One Season 1, but..."

Actually, none of you are here; only Xu Fan and Miss Su are sitting here.

However, given Suiyu's current position, Xu Fan and Miss Su are her teachers, so Zhong Yixuan continued, "I still came because I love music enough."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "It's been a while. I haven't seen you release any new songs recently. It seems you've been working on the second season of The Coming One."

Looking at Xu Fan, who was now sitting in front of him, Zhong Yixuan didn't feel particularly embarrassed.

If it were someone else, they might not have come even if they knew it was Xu Fan, because it would be too embarrassing.

They participated in the same program at the same time, but others became incredibly popular and became star mentors on the platform, while they were still just contestants.

Zhong Yixuan didn't have such thoughts. Although he was indeed a little embarrassed and disappointed, he was still willing to come because he felt that music was everything. So after hearing Xu Fan's words, he said, "I do have such thoughts, but I don't know if I can achieve my goal."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "You can do it."

For Zhong Yixuan, there was no sense of inferiority when Xu Fan was sitting in front of him.

This doesn't mean he's so outstanding that he can ignore Xu Fan; quite the opposite, Xu Fan's exceptional abilities make him qualified to sit here and to give him pointers.

Whether it's Xu Fan's musical works, composition, arrangement, or even his lyrics, I am far inferior to him. Hearing Xu Fan's praise, Zhong Yixuan smiled and said, "Thank you."

Xu Fan then asked, "What kind of song will you be performing for us tonight?"

Zhong Yixuan didn't hesitate and said directly, "An original love song called 'How Time Can't Take Away My Longing'."

Xu Fan nodded slightly and said, "Please begin your performance."

This phrase was a favorite of Xue Laiyi, a mentor on the "Duxiu" track in the first season of "The Coming One." Xu Fan, after becoming a mentor on the "Duxiu" track, also got used to saying this phrase.

When Zhong Yixuan appeared on camera, the entire internet was in an uproar.

Because Zhong Yixuan is different from others, Zhong Yixuan is the kind of singer who looks thin and weak.

She and Xu Fan are actually quite similar, both in terms of the number of original songs and their singing styles. However, Xu Fan's songs may have more depth.

Apart from that, Zhong Yixuan is very ordinary, but it's hard to describe exactly how ordinary she is.

Just like Xu Fan's song "Xiao Chou" became a hit across the internet, Zhong Yixuan's song is not so popular. But even so, netizens still couldn't help but want to say something.

The reason is simple: Zhong Yixuan is rarely mentioned in a crowd, but many people can't help but like this boy with black-rimmed glasses. He looks silly, but he is indeed likable.

As a result, the entire internet was discussing it.

"Oh my god, Zhong Yixuan is actually participating in the second season of Tomorrow's Show! This is unbelievable! He was one of the top contestants in the very first season, so his strength is absolutely super strong. With him on the field, who can compete with him?"

"That's right. You know, Xu Fan and Zhong Yixuan are both all-around singers who appeared in the first season of The Coming One. There's no doubt that such a singer is very talented. In fact, if he hadn't not signed with a management company, he would definitely be very popular now. It's just that he's not confident enough in himself, so he hasn't decided to give his all to singing yet. But I think that since he's here, he will definitely do even better."

"I think so too. Zhong Yixuan is very strong in both singing and songwriting. I think we can just look forward to her future work."

"It's really sad. Former teammates are now just trainees. I just hope Zhong Yixuan can show his strength and will definitely advance. I just don't know what kind of song he will write."

"How come time doesn't pass and I miss you? It sounds like a love song."

At this moment, Zhong Yixuan was quiet, holding a guitar in her hand, looking at the camera, or rather, at Xu Fan and Su sitting in front of her. The next second, the guitar sound rang out.

A pleasant melody suddenly appeared, and everyone subconsciously stopped what they were doing. Xu Fan and Miss Su also looked at Zhong Yixuan with curiosity.

The melodious piano music was indeed beautiful; the familiar sound of the guitar continued to play, and everyone listened quietly to Xu Fan singing.

As time drew to a close, the accompaniment reached its climax, and Zhong Yixuan began to sing. Her voice sounded a little strange, but it was still quite interesting.

"In the middle of the night, tears streamed down my face."
