How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 188 Shouldn’t
As the guests' performances continued, it slowly came to the group of Jiang Yu and Su Muwan.

When everyone saw Jiang Yu and Su Muwan go on stage at the same time, the teachers and students in the auditorium were a little confused.

Why are the two of them on stage together?

Before, the guests from other groups went on stage to perform one by one, but why did Jiang Yu and Su Muwan go on stage together?
Is it...

Everyone seemed to realize something, and sure enough, the next moment, Jiang Yu and Su Muwan took the microphone and started talking.

"Today, our group brought a chorus song that shouldn't be given to everyone..."

It’s a chorus indeed!
Some students were shocked. Just as they had guessed, the two of them went on stage together to sing a song together.

"Hiss! This seems to be the first time Jiang Yu and Su Muwan sing a song together?"

"Yeah, it's the first time. It seems Jiang Yu has only sung with Yang Xue before, and now he's singing with Su Muwan. Is this a competition between exes?"

"I have to say, from this perspective, Jiang Yu and Su Muwan are quite a good match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. It's a pity that Jiang Yu is too fickle and has a violent tendency."

……

Shen Hongyu and the others, who were sitting in the front row, looked at Jiang Yu and Su Muwan on the stage with a hint of curiosity in their eyes. This was the first time they had seen Jiang Yu and Su Muwan sing a song together, and they were quite excited.

On the stage, Jiang Yu and Su Muwan looked at each other, made an "OK" gesture to Director Hu and the others, and the music slowly started playing.

The piano-based prelude sounded in the auditorium, and gradually, the teachers and students in the auditorium began to quiet down. On the stage, only Jiang Yu and Su Muwan were present, swaying gently to the rhythm of the music.

When the prelude ended and the boys' part began, Jiang Yu slowly raised the microphone and spoke.

"Pretend we're still together

I really can't act it out

Still not used to you not being around
This identity change is too fast..."

Jiang Yu's singing skills are still as steady as ever. When everyone hears Jiang Yu's singing, there seems to be a faint sadness spreading in their hearts.

The next moment, Su Muwan's singing followed closely behind.

“There is no need for narration in the picture

But everyone can see

My emotions surged.
I want to cry but nothing comes to mind..."

Listening to Su Muwan and Jiang Yu's performance, Sheng Hongyu and the others were also somewhat amazed. This was the first time these two had sung together, and it felt great. While it wasn't a sweet love song, this kind of sentimental love song, sung by a man and woman, could create a unique effect.

Even Director Hu was mesmerized when he heard the duet of "Shouldn't." This was Jiang Yu and Su Muwan's first duet, and the result was fantastic. The show was sure to be a hit.

"Love in the snow
They say the oath crystallized below zero will not break

But the state of love

But it won't always be frozen and transparent

Gently falling down
The dream I made melted too quickly

Maybe we shouldn’t wake up…”

Jiang Yu and Su Muwan performed "Bu Gai," a song performed by Jay Chou and A-Mei. Composed by Jay Chou and written by Fang Wenshan, it was included in Jay Chou's album "Jay Chou's Bedtime Stories," released on June 24, 2016. The song is the theme song for the TV series "Ice Fantasy City," and both the song and the TV series were incredibly popular that summer.

Jiang Yu and Su Muwan sang passionately on the stage, from their individual performances to the final chorus, from looking at the audience to staring at each other.

At this moment, everyone seemed to be immersed in the singing of Jiang Yu and Su Muwan. Many students, watching the two people singing together on the stage, were actually a little dazed for a moment. Jiang Yu and Su Muwan seemed to be a perfect match...

"You still live in my memory and never come out
Let us leave with a smile and let the story remain
Love is still there after letting go

When the snow melts, the flowers should bloom
Once your destiny is over, you shouldn’t have to do it again…”

Shen Hongyu and the others were listening to the song "Shouldn't" sung by Jiang Yu and Su Muwan, and were also somewhat intoxicated by the song.

The song ended, and Jiang Yu and his group's performance also ended. After a moment of silence, the scene suddenly broke out into thunderous applause.

The recording of the penultimate stop of "Walking and Singing" ended with the guests' performances.

……

Friday is the day when the semi-finals of "Singer" will be broadcast.

Lin Qianqian was already holding a tablet, nestled in her warm bed, watching this episode's semi-finals.

"Last time, Hu Tian was almost surpassed by Jiang Yu. Will he really be surpassed this time?"

This is not only what Lin Qianqian is curious about, but many viewers are also curious about it.

"We're finally here for the semi-finals. Last time, the difference between Jiang Yu and Hu Tian was only a few votes. Who do you think will win this time?"

"It must be Hu Tian. Who would support Jiang Yu, a scumbag? I support Teacher Hu anyway."

"I'm not sure, but I feel like it'll be tough for Jiang Yu to surpass Hu Tian. While the difference in votes was small in the last round, it's hard to predict the outcome of this semi-final. Also, I think Jiang Yu's previous assault incident had a significant impact on him, so it'll probably be tough for him to surpass Hu Tian."

"It's definitely difficult. Jiang Yu has only been in the industry for a few years. Hu Tian has been popular for so long, and his background is far beyond Jiang Yu's reach, not to mention that he's currently caught in a whirlpool of public opinion."

……

The audience was talking about it, and many of them felt that Jiang Yu still could not beat Hu Tian in this semi-final.

As the show began, when Lin Qianqian saw Jiang Yu come on stage and heard the song "Sunny Day", she suddenly felt as if her heart was hit by something.

"Jiang Yu's song 'Sunny Day'... has a youthful feel, simple yet pure, similar to his previous song 'Simple Love'. It carries a youthful and nostalgic air, bringing one back to the greener days..."

This is the feeling Lin Qianqian got after listening to Jiang Yu’s new song "Sunny Day".

Simple, pure, and full of youthfulness, this is the feeling that Jiang Yu's song "Sunny Day" gave her.

"Jiang Yu's song is very good!"

Seeing how calm Li Jun and the others were towards Jiang Yu, Lin Qianqian curled her lips a little. This was the style. So what if the lyrics and music were simple? As long as you could write a nice and touching song, it would be a good song.

Then it was Hu Tian's turn to perform. When Lin Qianqian saw that this new song was written together with his old partner, the country's top lyricist Li Shuming, she was a little surprised and looked forward to Hu Tian's next performance even more.

"Huh? Teacher Li actually wrote the lyrics. Haha, it seems that Teacher Hu's new song is of very high quality this time."

"It's really Teacher Li Shuming! He and Teacher Hu are a golden pair. This song must be of high quality."

"Teacher Hu is about to release a new album, and Teacher Li Shuming has even come out of retirement."

"Teacher Li Shuming has already taken action. I guess Jiang Yu really has no chance this time."

……

After watching Hu Tian's performance and listening to his new song, Lin Qianqian frowned slightly.

"Hu Tian's song and Jiang Yu's "Sunny Day" feel like two completely different beasts. One is incredibly simple, while the other is incredibly gorgeous and showy..."

Although Hu Tian’s new song is also very nice, she always feels that it is not as touching as Jiang Yu’s "Sunny Day".

"The lyrics written by Teacher Li Shuming are indeed good and gorgeous, but they always give people a sense of being flashy and superficial..."

If she really had to choose her favorite song between these two, Lin Qianqian would definitely choose Jiang Yu's "Sunny Day".

As expected, when the ranking results of this episode were announced at the end of the show, Hu Tian lost to Jiang Yu. All of a sudden, the audience and Hu Tian’s fans were shocked, and Lin Qianqian’s pupils shrank.

"Jiang Yu actually won, he beat Hu Tian!"

Although she thought Jiang Yu's song "Sunny Day" was better, she hadn't expected him to surpass Hu Tian in this semifinal. Jiang Yu had previously been embroiled in a controversy, and Hu Tian came prepared, collaborating with his longtime partner, top Chinese lyricist Li Shuming, on a new song. Lin Qianqian initially thought Jiang Yu had little chance of winning.

Now that the results are out, Jiang Yu has actually surpassed Hu Tian and won, with the number of votes leading Hu Tian by dozens!
At this moment, Lin Qianqian and the audience were stunned. This result was too unexpected.

"Holy crap! What did I see? Hu Tian actually lost to Jiang Yu. Did Jiang Yu really surpass Hu Tian?!"

"Oh my god! What's going on? Hu Tian lost to Jiang Yu?!"

"I'm stunned. How could Jiang Yu win like this?"

"This... Jiang Yu actually won, and he's ahead by such a huge margin! Even Hu Tian and Teacher Li Shuming couldn't suppress him this time!"

"No way! This time, Hu Tian came with a new song he co-wrote with his old partner, top lyricist Li Shuming. How could he not beat Jiang Yu, and the gap was so huge?!"

"Does this mean that Jiang Yu is more powerful than Hu Tian and Li Shuming? This guy is even more powerful than the king of heaven?"

"How is that possible? This is just a one-time win or loss, just a fluke. It doesn't mean anything."

"Exactly. If a single win or loss like this proves that Jiang Yu is worse than Hu Tian and Teacher Li Shuming, then doesn't that mean that singers in the music industry are inferior to others if they lose once?"

...At this moment, the semi-finals of "Singer" had just ended, and the hot searches exploded.

"Jiang Yu defeated Hu Tian!"

"Jiang Yu's new song is Sunny Day!"

"Hu Tian and Li Shuming collaborate on a new song again!"

"Hu Tian and Li Shuming are not as good as Jiang Yu!"

……

The hot search went viral, and Hu Tian and Li Shuming also saw it.

Honestly, ever since they lost that day, they'd anticipated what would happen after tonight's show. After a quick look online, they saw many people saying they couldn't compare to Jiang Yu, and quite a few fans were speaking up for them.

Hu Tian and Li Shuming also snorted coldly.

"It's just a win or loss, it doesn't mean anything. Next time, there's a new album, and I have to get this back."

Li Shuming nodded. Although he had anticipated this, he still felt uncomfortable seeing so many people in the comments section saying that the songs he and Lao Hu wrote couldn't compare to Jiang Yu's. They were like the Yangtze River's new generation pushing the old generation out, and the two of them died on the beach.

"You should prepare well and strive for the next issue. With your new album, you can put Jiang Yu under pressure. You must get back the face you lost!"

……

The news of Hu Tian's loss to Jiang Yu in the semifinals of "Singer" aired on Friday had a significant impact online. After all, everyone had previously assumed Jiang Yu would be no match for the long-standing, top-tier Hu Tian. Furthermore, Hu Tian's semifinal performance was the work of his longtime partner, top Chinese lyricist Li Shuming. The two, each writing the lyrics and the other composing the music, surprisingly lost to Jiang Yu's "Sunny Day."

While a single win or loss doesn't mean much, every singer in the music industry, from Hu Tian to those top stars and queens, even Su Muwan, has lost before. But this time, it was truly surprising. Hu Tian, ​​the reigning king, unexpectedly lost to Jiang Yu, a young man who had only been in the industry for a few years. Furthermore, the two had a prior grudge; everyone had been optimistic about Hu Tian, ​​but now he had lost.

This incident has sparked a lot of discussion online, with many people suggesting that Hu Tian and Li Shuming are old and out of talent, unable to match the young Jiang Yu. Others are defending Hu Tian and Li Shuming, saying it was just an accident, that Jiang Yu won by luck, and that a single win or loss doesn't mean anything.

While everyone was still immersed in what happened in the semi-finals of "Singer" last night, a new episode of "Walking and Singing" was broadcast on Saturday night. This episode was recorded in Jiang Yu's hometown of Chengdu.

Lin Qianqian and many other viewers have been waiting for this episode to be broadcast. As soon as it was broadcast, there were still many black fans who came to scold Jiang Yu. Lin Qianqian was too lazy to read it and directly blocked the barrage.

"Last night was a sunny day for the singer, and tonight he's walking and singing. I wonder what kind of song Jiang Yu will bring."

When Lin Qianqian and the audience saw that this episode was recorded in Jiang Yu’s hometown, Rongcheng, they were also a little curious. Will they visit the place where Jiang Yu used to live?
When everyone saw that the program crew first came to Jiang Yu’s alma mater, they were all a little curious. Is this where Jiang Yu used to go to school?
This school must be proud that such a big star has come out of it.

but……

Everyone thought about the recent controversy Jiang Yu had with Hu Tian, ​​which had led to him being embroiled in online criticism and negative publicity. They wondered if Jiang Yu's alma mater would also feel ashamed.

But when they saw Jiang Yu and his friends coming to school, and the enthusiasm of the school leaders and others, and especially the look in Jiang Yu's eyes, and the pride on the faces of the school leaders and Jiang Yu's former teachers, it seemed different from what they had guessed.

"This is Jiang Yu's former alma mater."

"I have to say, Jiang Yu is very talented. I am a little curious about this school that can cultivate a big star like Jiang Yu."

"Looking at the expressions of these teachers and school leaders, they seem very proud that the school has produced a big star."

"Tsk, what's there to be proud of? Not only is he a philandering scumbag, he's also an uneducated scumbag."

"Don't say that. I feel that Jiang Yu's former teachers and these school leaders treated him well. Jiang Yu must have performed well in school and was very popular with the teachers. If he was really as the Internet said, that he was uncultured and didn't know how to respect teachers and seniors, would these teachers treat him like this?"

"Just pretend. There's a show to record, so who wouldn't pretend?"

"But their eyes can't lie, especially Jiang Yu's previous homeroom teacher, Teacher Dong. That look showed her deep concern for Jiang Yu."

……

Lin Qianqian watched Jiang Yu and his friends arrive at his alma mater. Seeing the attitude of Jiang Yu's former homeroom teacher and school leaders, she felt they also cared deeply about Jiang Yu. Their eyes couldn't deceive anyone. That concern, that pride, and that pride came from the heart.

And when everyone saw the guests' performances at school and listened to Jiang Yu's song "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart", Lin Qianqian and many other audience members were stunned after listening to it.

This song is really suitable for this occasion, to be sung in front of these high school students.

After listening to this song, it seemed that Lin Qianqian and many of the audience felt a surge of emotion and power. The inspiring song seemed to have shown its effect at this moment.

Afterwards, when everyone saw the program guests asking the students questions and the running competition, it seemed as if something had struck everyone's heart.

Lin Qianqian watched the show and saw the students running hard on the screen. She felt a little dazed for a moment and her nose felt a little sore.

Yes, this world is inherently unfair. Everyone starts from a different starting point. Some people are born in Rome, while others may never even reach the destination in their entire lives.

But should we give up just like that?
No! Absolutely not! Giving up would be completely over. Run forward with all your might. Even if you're not at the same starting line, you still have a chance to surpass the person in front of you. But if you give up, you won't even have that chance!

At this moment, it seemed that Lin Qianqian felt the charm of this show and the charm of this game.

Not only her, many viewers were also moved after watching this game.

"Oh my god! This game is so deep, and Jiang Yu's song 'Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart' is so fitting!"

"Really, I think this game is really great. It can help these children, who are in the most important period of their lives, see the gap clearly and run forward with all their strength!"

"Until the end, the outcome is unknown. The moment Jiang Yu's pure heart chasing his dream sounded, I got goosebumps!"

"This episode is really good, and this game is so meaningful!"

"Really, I feel like this game and the production team's presence are much more effective in motivating these students than any of those oath-taking ceremonies or inspirational speeches!"

……

And at this moment, on the side of Mr. Liu from Fengtian Entertainment.

Watching this episode of "Walking and Singing", even Mr. Liu was moved when he saw this scene.

This game is indeed of great significance.

"Jiang Yu, ah!"

Mr. Liu sighed deeply at this moment, regretting his past actions.

The program was still being broadcast, and the scene moved to the scene where Teacher Dong came to visit the B&B at night.

Lin Qianqian and the audience were also curious when they saw Jiang Yu's homeroom teacher, Teacher Dong, visiting the B&B. What was Teacher Dong doing there? Chatting?

It seems that no one thinks that Teacher Dong’s coming here will have any effect on the show?

However, at the next moment, everyone saw that some of the guests were curious about Jiang Yu's past. Teacher Dong mentioned Jiang Yu's parents and Jiang Yu's past. After listening, Lin Qianqian and many other audience members were silent for a long time.

At this moment, Lin Qianqian looked at Jiang Yu in the picture, who seemed to be holding back his tears and emotions, and there was some heartache in her eyes.

"So he's an orphan."

At this moment, Lin Qianqian and many viewers understood why Jiang Yu's parents had never been exposed by the media. Before, everyone had speculated that Jiang Yu had a mysterious and powerful background, but now, he was actually an orphan...

Lin Qianqian felt a pang of heartache for a moment, but the next moment, when she heard Jiang Yu suppress his emotions and talk about his mother, a matter everyone was curious about, and then broke down in tears, Lin Qianqian and many viewers couldn't hold it in any longer.

Especially Jiang Yu's line: "If I hadn't wanted to eat chocolate so much, maybe I would have a mother now."

The red eyes, the tears streaming down his face, and Jiang Yu's choked words once again dealt a heavy blow to everyone's hearts. It seemed that at this moment, the audience felt as if their hearts were being squeezed tightly, and the suffocating feeling was unbearable.

When Lin Qianqian saw this, she could no longer control her tears. Her nose felt sore and tears kept flowing from her eyes.

She had never thought about it, nor imagined that Jiang Yu's life experience was so tragic, and that he had such an unknown past.

At this moment, many viewers watching the show couldn't help crying.

"Wow, wow, I really can't hold it in any longer. Jiang Yu's life story is so tragic. Wow, wow!"

"Oh my God! I really can't stop crying now. Jiang Yu is so pitiful!"

"A child of five or six, whose parents died one after another, and whose mother... Oh my God, I really can't imagine how he actually persevered. If it were me, I would have collapsed long ago."

"Yeah, when I watched Jiang Yu's show, he always looked so cheerful and cheerful, but I didn't expect him to... oh, I really can't stand it anymore, my tears are really worthless!"

"I finally understand. Why did Jiang Yu react so strongly to Hu Tian's insults? He even resorted to violence. Oh my god! With so many people scolding him online these days, what has he been through?"

"Wow, brother, I didn't expect you to have such a dark past. Wow, brother, don't cry. We are still here. We will always support you and be with you!"

"I see, that's how it is. No wonder Jiang Yu reacted so strongly when Hu Tian scolded him!"

"Damn! After reading this, I'm completely disgusted with Hu Tianzhen! This is too much!"
