How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 18 Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes
When Zhao Tianming heard Jiang Yu's words, he became so angry that his neck turned red.

It's true that he hasn't released any new songs in recent years, and his songwriting ability is only average. When he was younger, he was full of energy and wrote many songs. But in recent years, it seems that his inspiration has waned. Not only has he released few new songs, but his popularity has also been declining, and many people online even say that he has run out of ideas.

Jiang Yu's words hit his sore spot.

The others were also a bit surprised. Just like Zhao Tianming, they hadn't expected Jiang Yu to directly fight back. With his current situation in disgrace, many people would choose to be cautious in their words and actions. But this guy didn't care at all.

If you think about it carefully, it's true. The house has already collapsed, so it can't get any worse.

Zhao Tianming, on the other hand, wanted to fight back, but when he faced the camera and thought about the gap in status between himself and Jiang Yu, he snorted in his heart.

This guy has already fallen from grace. He can disregard his image, but I can't be like him.

But now, Zhao Tianming felt a sense of frustration. Someone was confronting him, but he was powerless to do anything.

In the end, he could only snort coldly and say, "That's better than what you have now."

Jiang Yu didn't care and took the snacks sponsored by the sponsor and started eating.

Shen Hongyu glanced at Jiang Yu a bit longer, suddenly feeling a bit relieved. She wasn't particularly fond of Zhao Tianming. She always felt a certain superiority in him, a sense of natural satisfaction and pride that he was superior to her. "I'm your senior, you're your junior, so you should respect me."

Shen Hongyu couldn't stand this.

Sometimes, Zhao Tianming would even take advantage of his seniority in front of them and give them orders by relying on his status as a senior.

This made Shen Hongyu very disgusted.

Huang Mingliang and Shen Hongyu sat next to Jiang Yu, with Jiang Yu sandwiched between them.

Huang Mingliang could even sense Zhao Tianming's sullen gaze and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This guy, now that his reputation has collapsed, really doesn't care about anything anymore. When someone bullies you, you just fight back directly, regardless of whether you're a senior or not, or whether it affects you or not. You've been spoiled.

Anyway, my house has collapsed and is in ruins. Can it be worse than this?
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Huang Mingliang witnessed this today with Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu actually thought the same thing. Zhao Tianming had doubted him before. It was the first time, so I gave him a chance to mend his ways. But now he's doing it again. Does he really think he's easy to bully now that his reputation has been ruined?

As the show progressed, two guests appeared whose rankings were lower than Jiang Yu's. One was the third-tier singer who appeared after Jiang Yu. Because of his poor ranking in the first episode and Jiang Yu's high vote count, he was nervous and didn't perform well, receiving only 377 votes.

Anyway, now Jiang Yu is sure that he will not be eliminated last.

Shen Hongyu and the others came on stage one by one, and the last one was Zhao Tianming, the first place winner of the previous episode.

The song he covered was by guest Wang Jiawei, and he added his own adaptation elements. He is also a veteran singer, his stage presence is very stable, and he performed very well. There is nothing to criticize about this.

But when this guy came back, he glanced at Jiang Yu with a hint of pride in his eyes. As if to say, even if you stay, what does it matter? You were so arrogant just now, but you still have to be suppressed by me.

Jiang Yu could also feel Zhao Tianming's sense of pride, but in his eyes, this was just an out-of-date singer like Zhao Tianming giving him a sense of existence.

He could probably guess why Zhao Tianming disliked him so much. He clearly had talent, yet he was facing the risk of being outdated. But these young idols, who were nothing but pretty faces, had no talent, relying solely on their fans for support, yet they were still so popular. He naturally felt uncomfortable participating in events and shows, having to serve as a foil for those popular artists.

Now that he sees that a top star like himself has collapsed, he naturally feels a sense of superiority.

He wanted to step on Jiang Yu and vent all the resentment he had been holding in his stomach for these years.

The show was finished, and the guests' performances were all over. Zhao Tianming received 470 votes, ranking first.

Shen Hongyu received 455 votes, ranking second in this round.

Wang Jiawei received 429 votes, ranking third in this round.

Huang Mingliang received 410 votes, ranking fourth in this contest.

As for Jiang Yu, he received 399 votes, ranking sixth in this round. There was also a female singer who was slightly ahead of him in the vote count.

Jiang Yu was quite satisfied with the result. From last place in the previous round to sixth place this time, he had made significant progress. Now that so many people were voting for him, his situation seemed to have improved a little.

Take your time and take your time.

After all, the house collapsed too severely this time. It is definitely impossible to restore it to its original state in one go.

He was not in a hurry. At least after these two issues, the situation was better than before.

"Okay, our second round of competition is over..."

At this time, Director Li came in and began to talk about the content and requirements for the third episode. The eliminated guests were a little disappointed and had no choice but to leave.

"For the third episode, we're using a themed competition system. The program team will give you a specific theme. Guests who draw a theme will be asked to perform an original song in the next episode. It must match the theme we've drawn. We've also hired songwriters for each guest. You can find someone to create your own, or you can work with our program team teachers to create a theme song..."

After Director Li finished explaining the competition rules, Xu Ya walked in front of the guests holding an opaque box.

When she walked in front of Jiang Yu, Xu Ya raised her head slightly and happened to meet Jiang Yu's eyes. The hair on Jiang Yu's forehead slightly covered his eyes, making his eyes look even deeper.

Doesn't he want others to see his inner thoughts?
Pretending to be indifferent, but feeling sad?

Jiang Yu also felt that Xu Ya was looking at her, smiled slightly, and brought up her own topic.

"The one I missed..."

Jiang Yu was delighted when he saw this theme, and many songs popped up in his mind. This theme was very simple, and...

It fits my current situation and my personality very well.

Xu Ya also saw Jiang Yu's topic and her eyes flickered.

Missed him...

Well, it suits this guy quite well.

After listening to Jiang Yu's singing in these two episodes, Xu Ya became a little curious about Jiang Yu's song in the next episode.

What kind of songs will this guy bring in the next episode?
