How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 165 Official Showdown Ranking
Jiang Yu, as the opening guest, has finished his performance. The audience's votes have not been announced yet, but the expert panel's votes are already known. Jiang Yu received votes from three teachers on the expert panel.

Xu Ya watched Jiang Yu's expert panel votes. The panel's results were generally quite normal. Other guests, like him, usually only received three or four votes from the panel. Some, however, were even worse off, only getting two or even one vote. As for a full vote, that had never happened in all the episodes. It was difficult to please all the panelists.

When Jiang Yu returned to the lounge, many guests were praising his song and performance.

When Hashimoto Kana saw Jiang Yu sitting down, she turned her head with a smile on her pretty face. She spoke in Chinese which was a little difficult to pronounce, and with her pure looks, she looked quite cute.

"Jiang Yujun is not only good-looking, but also has a good singing voice. If Jiang Yujun comes to our island country to hold a concert, I'm sure many girls will like him."

"Teacher Hashimoto, please stop praising me. If you continue praising me, I'll be in heaven, haha."

Jiang Yu was joking, but a hint of confusion crossed Hashimoto Kana's innocent face. Jiang Yu spoke quickly, and since her Chinese wasn't very good, it took her a while for her to understand. She looked at him with a silly and curious expression, even though she didn't understand. She leaned slightly to listen to the translator on the high stool behind her, and after a while, she finally smiled.

"Jiang Yujun welcomes you to hold a concert at our place if you have the chance."

"The opportunity will come."

Park Junyeol glanced at Jiang Yu, a bit surprised that this guy was so popular with Hashimoto Kana and Duo Ma. Just because he was handsome? He didn't look bad either, right?
Among the guests, he himself looked down on Chinese singers, but he was very optimistic about two international singers, Duo Ya and Hashimoto Kana. Hashimoto Kana was particularly popular, young and beautiful, not only in Japan but also in their country of H, where she was hailed as the goddess of otakus. Although he had no intention of pursuing Hashimoto Kana as his girlfriend, he had been here for so long and Hashimoto Kana had always been polite to him, with a hint of unfamiliarity.

But Jiang Yu has only been here for a short time. Why does it seem like he's very familiar with Hashimoto Kana?
But he only glanced at Jiang Yu, his eyes filled with disdain. In his eyes, Jiang Yu was just a handsome Chinese singer, and on the show, he was just a foil for him, Duo Ya and the others.

Hu Tian looked at Hashimoto Kana and the others praising Jiang Yu and felt a little uncomfortable. He snorted in his heart and spoke in a pretentious manner.

"Well, Xiao Jiang did well this time. This song is indeed quite difficult, and you can sing it so well. Your singing skills are indeed good. However, there is still room for improvement. The lyrics and music can be written with more depth and beauty."

Okay, here we go again.

Even Queen Sun Leyan was speechless, knowing that Hu Tian and Jiang Yu didn't get along. "But, Big Brother, could you please stop picking on me and picking on me for no reason?" They even thought Jiang Yu's song was pretty good, with the lyrics and music being decent. But this guy, on the other hand, insisted on finding fault with Jiang Yu.

Sun Leyan felt that Hu Tian was a little too obsessed and wanted to target Jiang Yu. He would find fault with Jiang Yu's songs or performances, making her feel like Hu Tian was making things up.

Zhang Yue and Liu Jie were already on stage, while the other was waiting. The other three foreign singers, unable to speak Chinese and understanding the situation, were clueless. Now that Hu Tian had spoken, only Sun Leyan was speechless.

She silently looked at Jiang Yu to see how this brother would fight back. Anyway, every time she saw Hu Tian teasing Jiang Yu, this brother would fight back cleverly, leaving Hu Tian speechless.

The cameraman had already silently pointed the camera at Jiang Yu and Hu Tian. Come on, come on, here's more material. These two are indeed rivals. There's always a lot of material to shoot in every episode.

Jiang Yu looked at Hu Tian calmly and spoke indifferently.

"Teacher Hu is also very good. Since Teacher Hu said so, the quality of the song I will bring later must be very high. Maybe it will get a unanimous vote from the expert panel teachers."

Sun Leyan suppressed a laugh. It was the same trick that always worked. Every time Jiang Yu confronted Hu Tian, ​​he would first praise him and then put him on a pedestal. If you, Hu Tian, ​​really had this ability, you wouldn't be afraid. But since you don't have this ability, being put on a pedestal by Jiang Yu like this, you're a little uneasy.

If I fail to do so and don’t get unanimous votes, it will be embarrassing.

Hu Tian snorted coldly: "Xiao Jiang, you should watch and listen more, and learn more from experience. I hope to see you on this stage again in the next episode."

Jiang Yu said indifferently, "Teacher Hu, you don't need to worry about this. Teacher Hu, please be careful and don't let the ranking drop."

"You don't need to worry about this, Xiao Jiang."

The cameraman looked at the two people who had stopped bickering, feeling a little disappointed. "No, could you guys be a little more intense? Could you talk a little more? I feel like I could use a little more footage." The cameraman always felt like he hadn't seen enough drama. He loved watching these celebrities bickering and arguing; it was so entertaining.

As the show progressed, the guests gradually came on stage to perform.

Zhang Yue and Liu Jie each received three and two votes respectively. Then came Sun Leyan and Park Junyeol, who each received three and four votes respectively.

When it was Hu Tian's turn, he performed a new song of his own composition, which received a good response. Li Jun praised him highly and he got four votes from the expert panel.

After watching Hu Tian's performance, the audience was also discussing who performed better this time, him or Jiang Yu, and whose song was better. After all, everyone knows that these two don't get along, and this episode is the first time they really compete on the same stage.

"I think Hu Tian's song is pretty good too."

"It's really good, he's worthy of being a superstar. His singing skills and high notes are amazing."

"But I feel that compared with Jiang Yu's previous performance, it lacks some feeling. Anyway, I think Jiang Yu's "Love Wrong" is better."

"I also prefer Jiang Yu's "Love Is Wrong." Although Hu Tian's song is good, I always feel that it lacks a certain feeling and sounds a bit like whining."

"I wonder what Jiang Yu's ranking will be this round. Can he surpass Hu Tian?"

……

At this moment, Duo Ya's performance has already begun. It is a very amazing and explosive song, and the atmosphere is very good.

After Hu Tian returned to the lounge, he had a smug look on his face and glanced at Jiang Yu with a bit of contempt and disdain.

I got four expert votes, and this guy only got three. If nothing unexpected happens, even if this guy is not eliminated in this episode, he will not be able to beat me.

Hu Tian felt that even if he couldn't beat Duo Ya and get first place, then you, Jiang Yu, couldn't get it either, let alone beat me, because I would always keep you under my feet.

Hu Tian even prayed in his heart, praying that Jiang Yu would not be eliminated and would stay until the finals, so that he could step on him under his feet every episode. This way, Mu Wan and the netizens would see who was better between him and Jiang Yu!

When Hu Tian thought of this, he felt much more relaxed. He was secretly happy and even felt fortunate that Jiang Yu had successfully advanced to the next round. If he hadn't stayed, he wouldn't have had this opportunity.

As Duo Ya's performance concluded, the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak. As a top singer in Europe and the United States and an international diva, Duo Ya's strength is unquestionable. Even in China, she has many fans. Moreover, when she participated in "Singer" in China, she sang English songs due to language barriers, but everyone loved them. Sometimes good music is like that, even without the language barrier, it can still be enjoyed by many people. She is also very good at mobilizing the atmosphere at the scene, which is why Duo Ya has been able to sit firmly in the first place.

Jiang Yu watched Duo Ya, a woman in her forties, still exude energy on stage. In the lounge, she seemed like a warm, caring older sister. Since she didn't speak Chinese, she often used awkward and quirky words, which made everyone laugh.

But once she was on stage, Duo Ya was like a completely different person, like a queen on stage. Before Duo Ya even went on stage, she went to the bathroom to warm up her voice. The sound insulation on the production team was already very good, but the sound was so penetrating that Jiang Yu and the others in the lounge could hear it clearly.

This is the strength of an international queen and veteran singer!
Sun Leyan and her friends are always shocked after watching Duo Ya's performance. No wonder she has become an international superstar and can firmly hold the first place in the show.

Even Hu Tian admired Duo Ya very much. Netizens wanted him to win, wanted him to win as the first domestic singer. He wanted to win too, but he felt that there was still a big gap between him and Duo Ya.

Although this is a Chinese show, only a small portion of the audience at "Singer" actually votes based on the performances of the guests—they are fans. After several seasons, the number of people who watch the show now is very small. Many come to listen to the songs—young people, but mostly middle-aged and older. They all vote based on the performances of the guests, making it a relatively fair show.

This is also the reason why the show "Singer" has been so popular for so many years.

On this stage, you can't win just by being popular or having a lot of followers. Many viewers are more interested in the songs than the people themselves. If your performance isn't good, no one will vote for you. There are also those who run fan clubs and vote based on who's on the show, but they're a minority.

Otherwise, why are the audiences of other music programs called public judges, while the audiences of "Singer" are called public music judges?

This is the difference.

In the end, Duo Ya's performance received a rare five votes from experts.

Jiang Yu and the others also felt that there was no problem. Duo Ya's performance in this episode was indeed very good and she had the ability to do so.

Even Park Jun-yeol, the singer from country H who had always been arrogant and dismissive of Jiang Yu and Chinese singers, rarely applauded and praised Duo Ya after she came back.

In his eyes, Duo Ya was the only one who could suppress him, which made him look at her differently.

Everyone was waiting in the lounge for Director Hong Tao to compile the ranking results and announce them, while the audience was also staring at the big screen, waiting for the ranking results of this issue.

"Duo Ya should be number one again this time."

"Of course, this song is so exciting, and Duo Ya's high notes are amazing."

"Alas, although I also like to listen to Duo Ya's songs and I like her very much, I always feel aggrieved that we are being suppressed by foreign guests on our own turf on our Chinese show."

"It all depends on whether Hu Tian can make it. He's the most likely domestic guest to defeat Duo Ya and take first place."

"Him? It's been so many rounds, and he still hasn't succeeded. It's probably uncertain. I'm actually looking forward to Jiang Yu. I wonder if he can defeat Duo Ya later."

"Jiang Yu? He's the first one this round. I feel like even though he won't be eliminated, his ranking probably won't be higher than Duo Ya's."

"Come on, Hu Tian can't do it, and you still expect Jiang Yu."

"Hey, I don't care. I just want to see the rankings of Jiang Yu and Hu Tian this round. These two are rivals in love. Who ranks higher?"

"Jiang Yu is at a disadvantage at the beginning of this round. Hu Tian might be ranked higher."

……

The audience was discussing the rankings for this episode, especially Jiang Yu and Hu Tian. Who ranked higher was a matter of great concern to the audience. Many people felt that Jiang Yu was at a disadvantage at the beginning of this episode, and might not rank as high as Hu Tian. Furthermore, Hu Tian even received one more vote from the expert panel than Jiang Yu, which meant he was ahead by a hundred votes. That's a pretty big gap.

This wasn't the last time Jiang Yu and his team competed as replacement singers; it was a formal competition, and Hu Tian wasn't Zhang Minghui. Combined with Hu Tian's previous performance on the show, this 100-vote gap was going to be difficult for Jiang Yu to surpass this time.

In the lounge, Director Hong Tao walked in with a tablet computer and a smile on his face. Behind him followed the paper man Xu Ya and music director Mr. Wang.

Teacher Wang came to watch the fun, but the rankings this time are a little different.

As for Xu Ya...

As soon as she walked in, she glanced at Jiang Yu's seat, and then quickly looked away.

Jiang Yu also noticed Xu Ya behind Director Hong Tao. His eyes fell on Xu Ya and he nodded at her.

Xu Ya was slightly stunned, and when she saw Jiang Yu taking the initiative to greet her, she also revealed a faint smile.

Everyone saw this scene, but there was nothing strange about it. Jiang Yu had participated in other programs produced by Producer Xu before, so it was normal for them to know each other.

"I guess everyone is already eager to know the results of this round's rankings."

Director Hong Tao held a tablet in his hand and looked at everyone with a smile, as if he was ready to whet everyone's appetite.

"Hey, Mr. Hong, please stop keeping us in suspense. The audience can't stand you keeping us in suspense like this."

Sun Leyan half-jokingly said that with their status and familiarity with Director Hong Tao, they could joke around and it was nothing. If someone like Zhang Yue and Liu Jie were to say that, they certainly wouldn't dare to do so.

Director Hong Tao looked at Sun Leyan with a smile and said, "Then I will announce the results first."

Sun Leyan, Hu Tian and others were all stunned. Why was Old Hong so happy this time?
However, the next moment, Director Hong Tao changed the subject: "Before announcing the ranking results of this round, let's insert a commercial..."

Then Director Hong Tao paused for a moment, picked up the milk sponsored by the sponsor, and gave a personal oral advertisement.

Sun Leyan and the others were all upset. They thought that Lao Hong had changed his personality in this episode and was able to announce the ranking results so readily. It turned out that he was waiting for them.

Jiang Yu also looked helpless. This director even came out to do the commercial himself to earn the voiceover money. He took both the fees. Director Hong Tao is quite smart. Next time there's such a good opportunity, I can do it too. It's just a voiceover commercial, I can do it too. The price is right, let alone the voiceover, I'll even give you a bottle of milk.

Director Hong Tao was not embarrassed when he saw Sun Leyan and the others looking at him speechlessly. After all, he was not embarrassed, but others were.

"Ahem, let's get back to the point and start announcing this round's ranking results. Let's start by announcing the top five to seven."

Well, it’s time to try some new tricks.

Sun Leyan and the others have gotten used to it. Every time Director Hong Tao announces the ranking results, he always does some tricks. The show is really good, and the audience is really jealous.

Zhang Yue and Liu Jie were very nervous because Jiang Yu performed very well in this episode, while their performances were a bit poor. If nothing unexpected happened, one of them would be eliminated.

Director Hong Tao glanced at the ranking results on the tablet and looked at Zhang Yue who was already getting nervous.

"Xiao Zhang, what place do you think you'll get this round?"

When asked this question by Director Hong Tao, Zhang Yue became even more nervous.

"Huh? I'm not sure, probably somewhere towards the back."

Director Hong Tao smiled and said, "Then I'll announce the results. The seventh place winner is... Zhang Yue!"

"Ranked sixth is... Hashimoto Kana!"

"Fifth place...Sun Leyan!"

When everyone heard the result, they were a little surprised. Even Park Jun-yeol looked a little surprised when he heard the words of the translator behind him.

Hashimoto Kana unexpectedly fell out of the top five and was overtaken by Sun Leyan?!

As a result, foreign guests fell out of the top five. This is the first time in so many episodes.

In many previous episodes of the show, foreign guests always occupied three of the top five positions. This episode is the first time that foreign guests have fallen out of the top five.

Even Sun Leyan was a little surprised that she had surpassed Hashimoto Kana?

Zhang Yue was also excited, she was seventh!
This means that I will not be eliminated in this episode and I can continue to stay on the stage of "Singer"!
Although the probability of her being eliminated in the next episode is still quite high, she feels that it is a gain as long as she can stay for one more episode.

When Hashimoto Kana heard the translator's announcement of her ranking results, she was not so disappointed and even congratulated Sun Leyan with a smile.

At this moment, everyone suddenly thought of something, and their eyes instantly focused on Jiang Yu and Liu Jie.

Kana Hashimoto has fallen out of the top five, which means someone rushed up and pushed her out!

Jiang Yu and Liu Jie, who is it between the two?
Everyone's attention gradually focused on Jiang Yu. Liu Jie was considered unlikely because of his poor performance. This time, everyone thought that one of him and Zhang Yue would be eliminated. Now that Zhang Yue's ranking was announced, the last one to face elimination was most likely Liu Jie.

Liu Jie was feeling a little disappointed at the moment. After learning Zhang Yue's result, he knew that he would probably be the last one. Although it hadn't been announced yet, he had already guessed the result.

Can I get to the top of the rankings?
He is very clear about his own strength and there is no such possibility at all.

As for the guest who rushed forward and pushed Hashimoto Kana down, it was most likely Jiang Yu.

At this moment, Sun Leyan and the others focused their attention on Jiang Yu, with a hint of surprise and anticipation in their eyes.

This guy made it into the top four in the first round of the official competition, which really surprised everyone.

Hu Tian's expression turned a little cold, and he glanced at Jiang Yu. He didn't expect that this guy could actually make it into the top four and squeeze Hashimoto Kana out of the top five.

He admitted that he had underestimated Jiang Yu.

But now, the results of the top four have not been announced yet, and Hu Tian doesn’t know where Jiang Yu ranks.

At this moment, Hu Tian was obviously a little panicked.

This guy has made it into the top four. Could he have overtaken me?

But as soon as this idea came to his mind, he rejected it immediately. How could he be surpassed by Jiang Yu?
He doesn't have that ability yet.

Even now that he knew Jiang Yu had broken into the top four, Hu Tian didn't think Jiang Yu could surpass him. At best, this guy would be ranked behind, or just barely touch the door of the top four, only fourth place.

Director Hong Tao glanced around, observing everyone's reactions, and continued speaking.

"Okay, now I'll announce the eighth place."

At this moment, Liu Jie's heart skipped a beat and everyone looked at him.

Sure enough, when director Hong Tao announced the eighth place, it was Liu Jie.

"The eighth place this time...Liu Jie!"

Liu Jie's heart skipped a beat, and then his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally gave up.

Sure enough, it’s me. It seems I’m really coming.

Director Hong Tao looked at Liu Jie's somewhat lost expression and said with regret: "It's a pity that Xiao Liu will be leaving our program."

Zhang Yue patted Liu Jie's shoulder. The two of them felt the same pain. Zhang Yue was lucky enough to stay in this episode, but she would basically have to leave in the next episode.

"Then we will announce the results of the top four."

As soon as Director Hong Tao said this, everyone's attention was focused on him again. Sun Leyan and the others were staring at the tablet in Director Hong Tao's hand, as if they were eager to know the final result.

Hu Tian himself was also a little nervous. Although he told himself that Jiang Yu could not surpass him, he was still a little panicked for no reason.

"Okay, then the singer who won fourth place this time is..."
