How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 197 If this is not love

Jiang Yu let go of Chu Jingya, and after hearing Xiaoyue's complaints, he also spoke.

"The rampant H-popularity in the past two years, coupled with those crazy fans in China and some production crews deliberately chasing after these H-pop artists for traffic, has led them to develop these arrogant habits."

Jiang Yu was well aware of the recent influx of H-pop culture into China, and how those artists from H-country had thrived here. Domestic fans were enthusiastically following these H-country artists, and the production crews, seeing the traffic and exposure, were fawning over them. The appearance fees for these H-country artists were even higher than those of domestic artists.

I won’t say much about people like Park Jun-yeol who are considered top artists in Country H. The key point is that there are some unknown little artists in Country H who are extremely popular after coming to China, and their career development is better than in their own country.

Didn’t it come out before that an interview of an artist from Country H came out after he returned to his country, in which he said that China is the best place to make money, and if you run out of money, you can go to China for a trip.

From all these incidents, we can see how rampant H-stream culture is in China now.

It’s okay for middle-aged and elderly people, but it’s mainly young people who pursue fashion and chase stars and like these artists from Country H.

Xiaoyue curled her lips: "It's really disgusting. His staff almost pushed Sister Jingya down, and they didn't show any gratitude at all."

Chu Jingya smiled gently: "Okay, let's leave here first. This is not a place to stay for long."

Although there are not many people in this passage, if you stay there for too long, you will inevitably be seen by those fans, which will affect public order, which would be bad.

……

Mango TV, the scene of the recording of the eighth episode of "Singer".

The audience came in one after another, and in the lounge, the guests and this episode's challenge singers were already in place.

The challenger this time was Li Peng, a veteran in the industry, even older than Hu Tian. Even a star like Hu Tian had to call him "teacher" upon seeing him. He was in his early forties, rather thin, though not overweight like a middle-aged man. He always had a smile on his face, and responded to everyone's greetings one by one, looking very amiable.

Park Junyeol sat there, looking cold and arrogant. Jiang Yu just glanced at him. This guy was indeed a bit too arrogant and conceited. They had just met at the show. Even the security guard next to him who was pushing Chu Jingya saw them, but he didn't react at all. Even Park Junyeol seemed to have seen what his security guard did at the airport. After all, he was walking behind the security guard, so he must have seen what happened ahead.

As a result, this guy just glanced at them and said nothing from beginning to end.

As for Hu Tian, ​​the look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Yu now contained less disdain and arrogance, but more seriousness and coldness.

He no longer dared to underestimate Jiang Yu. He knew very well that if he continued to underestimate Jiang Yu, he would only continue to lose. Jiang Yu was now his opponent, an opponent who was on par with him, and he had to treat him seriously.

There was a hint of hostility and determination in the look he gave Jiang Yu.

He has already lost to Jiang Yu twice on this stage, and also lost the first competition of the new album. He must not let this happen again in this episode, he must win!
Sun Leyan glanced at Jiang Yu and Hu Tian. These two had been in the spotlight lately. No, they were on the hot list. They were constantly trending on the internet, from competing on the "Singer" stage to competing for new albums.

However, Hu Tian not only lost to Jiang Yu twice on the "Singer" stage, he also lost the first competition of this new album.

Sun Leyan couldn't help but shake her head. Judging from the situation, if Hu Tian couldn't win, Jiang Yu would definitely step on him and climb to the top. Jiang Yu's strength and popularity had reached a peak, and everyone said he was going to become the youngest superstar in the history of Chinese pop music. This statement was no exaggeration. The first song of Jiang Yu's new album was a huge hit. As long as the rest of the new album was of good quality and performed well, and Hu Tian couldn't suppress him, he would definitely step on Hu Tian and Li Shuming to climb to the top.

By then, Jiang Yu will have successfully slaughtered Hu Tian, ​​the Heavenly King, and achieved his own position as the Heavenly King.

Moreover, the news that Jiang Yu joined the Chinese Lyrics and Composition Association yesterday also went viral on the Internet, causing an even greater stir in the circle.

This was a first for the two associations, and Jiang Yu was the only person who had made an exception. In this one instance alone, Jiang Yu far surpassed everyone else in the industry. Hu Tian and his old partner, Li Shuming, were both left behind by Jiang Yu in this matter.

Sun Leyan glanced at Hu Tian and found that he seemed to have become much quieter during the two episodes of the recording program.

But it's understandable when you think about it. After all, he has lost to Jiang Yu so many times in a row, so he must be in a bad mood.

But looking at his eyes, he didn't seem to give up, still full of fighting spirit. Could it be that he had some trick up his sleeve this episode? Was he hoping to defeat Jiang Yu in this episode, or in the next new album showdown, and regain his former glory?
As the recording of the program begins, it starts with the challenge singer, and then the guests begin to appear in order of their ranking in the previous episode from low to high.

The audience outside were watching the guests' performances and discussing in low voices.

"Last episode, Hu Tian lost to Jiang Yu again. He will be performing before Jiang Yu, right?"

"Yes, he has already lost to Jiang Yu twice in a row on this stage. He also lost in the first competition for his new album. Tsk tsk, this hypocrite is finally getting his comeuppance."

"I feel like Hu Tian is no match for Jiang Yu right now. Not only Hu Tian, ​​but also his golden partner Li Shuming. You all saw that Jiang Yu was the first person to get the Chinese Lyrics and Composition Association to make an exception. He's also the only person currently to join both associations. Neither Hu Tian, ​​Li Shuming, or any other composer has had this opportunity."

"Tsk, it's too early to draw conclusions now. Maybe Teacher Hu will win this round? Besides, the new album has only released one song, and there are so many songs to come. It doesn't mean that he will lose."

"Exactly. Don't jump to conclusions now. I'm very optimistic about Mr. Hu Tian. I think the first song on his new album is great. And with so many songs coming up, I don't think Jiang Yu can win."

"Here we go! Hu Tian is next up. Let's see what songs he'll sing this time."

……

As the lights on the stage went out and then came on again, Hu Tian was already standing in the center of the stage. The music slowly started playing, and the piano-based prelude echoed in everyone's ears with a soft and soothing sound.

This song is still a new song created by Hu Tian and his old partner Li Shuming. It is also a song that will be released in the second round of songs in their new album.

Jiang Yu and the others watched Hu Tian's performance. They all recognized his talent, but the only thing that really caught their attention was the song Hu Tian and Li Shuming had written. It was a song from their new album, which was about to be released in the second round. Hu Tian wanted to use the song from his new album to compete with Jiang Yu on this stage, and also to use it as a promotion for his own new album.

"This is love..."

On the show's side, Xu Ya wore a khaki trench coat, her long, slightly curly hair loose, and she seemed to be in better shape than before, looking radiant. Nourished by Jiang Yu, she became more and more charming and feminine.

She and director Hong Tao looked at Hu Tian on the stage and the new song he brought this time, and they looked at each other.

"Xiao Xu, do you think Hu Tian can win this time?" Director Hong Tao had actually been following the competition between Jiang Yu and Hu Tian's new albums. Hu Tian had lost the first round. And this time, the song Hu Tian was going to perform was from his second album, which would be released the day after tomorrow, next Monday.

He wants to use this opportunity to promote his new album, and also wants to use the songs in the new album to compete with Jiang Yu again. It is obvious that he wants to save face.

But judging from the situation, Hu Tian lost more than he won. No, in these few times, he didn't win at all.

When Xu Ya heard Director Hong Tao's question, she spoke without thinking.

"I still choose Jiang Yu."

She chose to believe Jiang Yu unconditionally.

Director Hong Tao also smiled, but did not say anything. It seemed that in his heart, his thoughts were also expressed by Xu Ya.

Hu Tian's performance was still fantastic. After all, his talent is there, and the song is a carefully crafted piece from his new album, so it's bound to be good. As for losing, that depends on who he's competing against. If Hu Tian were put against other singers, he would definitely win.

But he was facing Jiang Yu, so the outcome was far from certain. Furthermore, Hu Tian had already lost to Jiang Yu three times in a row. Even though his performance this time was impressive, everyone was still a bit skeptical about whether he would win or not.

After all, the person who appeared after Hu Tian was his old rival Jiang Yu.

After Hu Tian finished his performance, he did not forget to use this stage to promote his new album.

"This is Love is a song from my new album, which will be released next Monday. I hope everyone will support my new album!"

His attitude lost its previous arrogance and became more humble. But now, things had already happened, and his image had long since collapsed. Besides his crazy fans who excitedly shouted their support, many in the audience sighed and curled their lips.

"How hypocritical! I remember he wasn't this humble before. Haha. Now he's been badly criticized and wants to save his image?"

"He's even using the singer's stage to promote his new album. Disgusting! I won't listen to the new album of such a villain."

"Haha, Xiao Hu, I still like your unruly look from before."

"Don't say that. What's wrong with Teacher Hu promoting his new album? It's not like there's a rule against performing songs from the new album. Besides, many singers also use programs to promote their work."

"That's right. Maybe Jiang Yu will be promoting his new album later. I guess the songs he brings will also be from his new album."

……

With Hu Tian's departure, he had secured four votes from the expert panel this time, which comforted him somewhat. The expert panel's vote count was high, so he should still have a chance to compete with Jiang Yu, or even surpass him.

When walking off the stage, Hu Tian happened to run into Jiang Yu who was waiting in the backstage. The two looked at each other, and there was a hint of coldness in Hu Tian's eyes.

Jiang Yu just glanced at him and didn't even bother to look.

Hu Tian snorted coldly, and the two men passed each other.

When the host announced the next guest performer's name, Jiang Yu, the entire audience cheered and shouted Jiang Yu's name. The lights on the stage went out, and when they came back on, Jiang Yu appeared in the center of the stage, holding a microphone, wearing a black suit, and standing tall.

"Jiang Yu! Jiang Yu!"

"Finally, Jiang Yu is here. I didn't even bother looking at that little guy on the stage just now, for fear of dirtying my eyes and ears."

"Haha, I've been waiting for Jiang Yu to come on stage too. Hu Tian performed a song from his new album to promote it on stage. Will Jiang Yu also perform a song from his new album to promote it on 'Singer'?"

"I don't know, but I'm very concerned about Jiang Yu's ranking this time. Last time, he was only one vote away from Park Jun-yeol. He almost surpassed Park Jun-yeol. I wonder if he will surpass him this time."

"Tsk, how could Jiang Yu possibly surpass our Oppa? Our Oppa is really amazing. He was just in a bad state last time. He will definitely leave Jiang Yu behind this time."

"That's right, Junyeol oppa is the best. Jiang Yu is no match for him."

……

At this moment, in the lounge, Park Junyeol, who had always been arrogant and quiet, and had disdained Chinese singers, saw Yu Yu coming on stage. He also looked at the big screen, his eyes flickering slightly as he stared at Jiang Yu.

In the previous episode, it was this Chinese singer named Jiang Yu who nearly surpassed him, which made Park Jun-yeol start paying attention to Jiang Yu. This guy seemed to be very popular among these Chinese singers, and his skills were also quite good. He defeated Hu Tiandu, who he thought was quite talented, which made Park Jun-yeol even more interested in Jiang Yu.

but……

It's not easy for him to surpass himself.

Park Jun-yeol sat there, watching Jiang Yu on the big screen, his eyes still tinged with disdain. To him, these Chinese singers were trash. From the very beginning, they'd been outshined by him and Duo Ya. Coming to China to record this kind of show was like playing. Besides, the money was good, and it was easy to earn. The rabid admiration of those Chinese fans was something he particularly enjoyed, but he also looked down on them from the bottom of his heart.

On the stage, Jiang Yu nodded to the music teacher, and the music slowly started playing.

Song title: If This Isn’t Love

Singer: Jiang Yu

Lyricist: Jiang Yu

Composer: Jiang Yu..."
