How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 205: Are you going to record a show with your brother?
A week later, the last round of songs from Jiang Yu and Hu Tian’s new album were released, still three songs.

However, at this point, no one was paying much attention to the outcome of the two new albums. The results were already in, and Hu Tian lost completely. Whether on the "Singer" stage or in the new album competition, he was no match for Jiang Yu.

The same was true for the final round of new album competition. Jiang Yu's three new songs, "What Do You Want From Me", "Ten Years", and "All the Way North", directly crushed Hu Tian's three new songs and won Hu Tian again.

But now, everyone seems to have gotten used to it. If Hu Tian could beat Jiang Yu, then everyone would be surprised and weird.

Just after all the songs from Hu Tian and Jiang Yu's new albums were released, on the next day, Li Shuming posted a message on his personal Weibo. It was a very simple paragraph, saying that he would retire from the music industry after that, and that the new album created by Hu Tian would be his last work.

As soon as the news came out, it quickly became a hot topic and dominated the entire Internet.

"Li Shuming retires!"

"Li Shuming announces his retirement from the music industry!"

"Li Shuming was scared by Jiang Yu's beating!"

"The golden partnership of Hu Tian and Li Shuming has broken up!"

……

All of a sudden, everyone's attention was drawn to Li Shuming's Weibo post announcing his retirement from the music industry. At this critical juncture, Li Shuming announced his retirement from the music industry and the beginning of his retirement life, which made it hard not to think too much.

There had been no previous reports that Li Shuming was retiring, and that this album was his final effort. Even when Hu Tian's new album was first being promoted, Li Shuming had been actively promoting it online, challenging Jiang Yu to a showdown. He was incredibly aggressive, seemingly intent on taking Jiang Yu down.

But now, after all the new songs in the new album have been released and he has completely lost to Jiang Yu, he is going to quit the circle?

"No way! Li Shuming is actually retiring? Hu Tian's golden partner is going to be gone just like that?"

"Is he scared by Jiang Yu's beating? Is his mentality broken?"

"Tsk tsk, it seems that losing to Jiang Yu so many times has really broken Li Shuming's defense."

"I have to say, this is a wise choice for Li Shuming. He's already lost face, not to mention Hu Tian's image is severely damaged. It's the right choice for him as a partner to retire."

"Haha, Jiang Yu is really awesome! He broke through Li Shuming's defense. He can't stand losing. I think Hu Tian should just leave and retire with Li Shuming."

……

At this moment, Hu Tian was looking at the message sent by his old partner. He had already boarded the plane and was preparing to go abroad to relax. After returning, he probably wouldn't interfere in the affairs of the entertainment industry anymore.

Hu Tian also seemed to be silent. This time, he was defeated by Jiang Yu, and it was not the first time or the second time. It made them both lose face, and the Internet was flooded with doubts and ridicules.

Hu Tian put down his phone, a bitter taste in his mouth. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, he thought, maybe it's time to go out for a walk. Now that he has been eliminated from the "Singer" program, he can even imagine how crazy the Internet will be after the show airs this Friday and the audience sees that he has been eliminated.

He was bound to be ridiculed and mocked, and he had gotten used to it during this period of time.

He thought about what his agent Xie Qiang had warned him against messing with Jiang Yu.

The result now, haha, this is the backlash.

He felt that if he hadn't messed with Jiang Yu and made things worse, he probably wouldn't be feeling so bad now. Not only did the personality and image he had built up over so many years collapse, but the losses during this period were also quite significant, affecting his reputation, popularity, and commercial value.

Hu Tian picked up his phone, looked at the message from his old partner Li Shuming, and also sent a message.

"If you fall, send me your location. I'll come find you after I finish these announcements."

He felt that it was time for him to go out and relax. He still had a few notices he had signed before. After finishing, he would go abroad with Li Shuming to relax and treat it as a vacation.

……

On Friday night, the ninth episode of "Singer" was broadcast as scheduled.

Now this program is nearing its end, but its popularity remains high and is even getting higher and higher.

As soon as the latest episode was aired tonight, many viewers flocked in.

Lin Qianqian was now curled up in bed, wearing plush pajamas, and felt a lot warmer with the air conditioner on.

Watching the latest episode of the show, she was also a little curious.

"Jiang Yu came in second last time. Judging from his momentum, I wonder if he can challenge for first place this time and surpass Teacher Duo Ya."

Judging from Jiang Yu's past development momentum, Lin Qianqian felt that it was still possible. Although Teacher Duo Ya was really amazing, she had been occupying the first place position since she came to the "Singer" program.

But now Jiang Yu's momentum is still very strong. He has caught up from the bottom of the rankings. In the last episode, he defeated Park Jun-yeol and got the second place.

As for the first place, although it is difficult, Lin Qianqian feels that she can still give it a try.

"Huh? This episode's challenger singer is actually Shen Hongyu!"

Lin Qianqian was also surprised when she saw Shen Hongyu. She didn't expect that the singer invited by the program team to challenge the host in this episode was such an old acquaintance.

Looking at the familiarity between Shen Hongyu and Jiang Yu in the show, Lin Qianqian also smiled, feeling that they really had a connection.

"Yes, Teacher Shen Hongyu performed very well this time."

Watching Shen Hongyu's performance in this episode, Lin Qianqian thought it was very good.

"I just don't know if I can succeed in kicking the door."

Shen Hongyu's performance was good, but the remaining guests were all very strong. There were superstars, the big devil Jiang Yu, as well as strong players like Duo Ya and Park Junyeol.

It's really hard to kick the opponent.

The later it gets, the stronger the singers who stay become. It is really difficult for the singers who challenge the host to succeed.

However, when Lin Qianqian saw Hu Tian's performance in this episode, she frowned for a moment, but then her eyes lit up.

"Hu Tian wasn't in great shape this episode. I guess his loss to Jiang Yu affected his mentality..."

"But in this case, I feel there is still hope for Teacher Shen Hongyu to succeed in challenging the opponent."

Not only Lin Qianqian, but even the audience felt that Hu Tian was not in good condition in this episode.

"What the hell is this? Hu Tian's condition doesn't seem good. It's too bad."

"Indeed, I feel that when recording this episode, his mentality must have been affected by the fact that he lost to Jiang Yu."

"Tsk, that's it! He's a superstar, but with that kind of mentality, haha. I think he might as well just retire with his old partner Li Shuming."

……

Lin Qianqian didn't pay much attention to Hu Tian. To her, his poor performance this episode wasn't a big deal; it was his own business. She was actually looking forward to Shen Hongyu taking advantage of Hu Tian's downturn and overtaking him, successfully challenging him to join the show later. While she disliked hypocrites and villains like Hu Tian, ​​Lin Qianqian had a more favorable impression of Shen Hongyu.

Afterwards, watching Park Jun-yeol's performance, Lin Qianqian frowned slightly.

"Park Jun-yeol is in great form this round. I feel like he wants to regain his ranking and surpass Jiang Yu again."

Lin Qianqian was a bit worried. In a country where the H-trend is rampant, Park Junyeol's popularity is already high and his skills are indeed strong. In addition, it was clear that Park Junyeol came prepared for this episode. Both his performance and the songs he brought were excellent. This made Lin Qianqian a little worried. Could it be that Jiang Yu had just surpassed him in the last episode, and this time he would take back the second place?

"Wow! Junyeol oppa performed very well this episode. He sounded so good and so handsome. That guy Jiang Yu is definitely no match for him!"

"Exactly, I just luckily beat Oppa last time, but this time Oppa is going to surpass him again!"

"Come on, Oppa! We must beat Jiang Yu!"

……

However, when Lin Qianqian saw Jiang Yu's song performance in this episode, her eyes suddenly lit up, and the worry in her heart seemed to disappear in an instant.

"Blue and white..."

Listening to Jiang Yu's new song, Lin Qianqian felt more and more connected. Jiang Yu's voice was gentle, yet tinged with a touch of regret and sadness. Between the lines, there was a sense of fate. It was a strange feeling, as if, through the token of blue and white porcelain, he was telling a poignant love story spanning millennia, past lives, and present...

"Holding the blue and white token tightly
Carving loneliness
It's like my homeless soul

Entangled in the past and yearning for no reason
No one can take it away if it's broken

You and I are a dream that cannot be awakened..."

At this moment, Su Muwan, who had been attending an event abroad, had just returned to the hotel, packed up, and was leaning on her bed watching this episode of "Singer." When she heard Jiang Yu's new song, "Blue and White Porcelain," her eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but recall the porcelain doll Jiang Yu gave her when they were together. It was made of blue and white porcelain.

It was their 100th anniversary at the time, and Jiang Yu gave him this as a souvenir, and he still keeps it at home. He also keeps the blue and white porcelain he made with Jiang Yu when they were recording "Walking and Singing," which he also keeps at home.

At this moment, Su Muwan was slightly dazed, looking at Jiang Yu's eyes in the video, as if they were looking at each other through the screen. At this moment, Su Muwan was also touched.

Is he singing this specifically for me?
Is that a token of love that belongs exclusively to the two of them?

……

As for the film queen Yang Xue, she has already finished filming and returned home to rest for several days.

The weather in December was so cold that she didn't want to go out at all. Jiang Yu was not home when she came back these few days. The house across the street had been renovated, but it was not yet habitable. She stayed at home these days and didn't go out much.

The room had air conditioning and heating, so it was quite warm. I leaned against the head of the bed in my lace pajamas, covered with a quilt and watched the show.

At this moment, when Yang Xue saw Jiang Yu singing the new song "Blue and White Porcelain", her eyes subconsciously looked at the pile of porcelain dolls placed in the middle of the cabinet.

This pair of porcelain dolls was what Jiang Yu gave her on their 100th anniversary when they were together. They were cartoon images of herself and Jiang Yu. Now, hearing Jiang Yu's song "Blue and White Porcelain," Yang Xue's memories were evoked, and her eyes became filled with nostalgia and depth.

Looking at the pile of porcelain dolls, Yang Xue was a little dazed. Is he singing for me?

……

Over on Song Yuqing's side, the little girl's eyes lit up when she heard her brother singing "Blue and White Porcelain." Her eyes unconsciously turned to a pair of porcelain dolls placed in the middle of the cabinet. One was a cartoon version of her, the other a cartoon version of Jiang Yu.

She remembered that this was a blue and white porcelain gift her brother gave her when they first got together and took her to burn paper. She also remembered her brother saying that this was the token of their love.

At this moment, sister Yuqing watched her brother on the show singing the new song "Blue and White Porcelain" affectionately. Looking at her brother through the screen, the little girl was a little excited, and there was only one thought in her mind.

For me!
My brother sang this song specifically for me!

……

At this moment, when everyone finished watching Jiang Yu's performance in this episode, they were also amazed.

"Oh my god! Jiang Yu's song "Blue and White Porcelain" is so beautiful. The love story that is extended from the blue and white porcelain as a token of love is so touching."

"Yes, yes, yes! It feels like I'm watching a poignant love story that spans thousands of years and past and present lives."

"I have to say, Jiang Yu is amazing at songwriting. I thought 'Blue and White Porcelain' was a similar ancient style song to 'Blue and White Porcelain', but I didn't expect it to be completely different, yet so beautiful!"

"Haha, when I first saw the title of the song 'Blue and White Porcelain', I also thought it was the prelude to the song 'Blue and White Porcelain'."

……

After watching the performances of all the guests in this episode, Lin Qianqian and the audience are now looking forward to the announcement of the results of this episode.

Lin Qianqian had already analyzed it silently in her mind and began to roughly sort out the ranking results of the guests in this episode.

Before she could figure out the result, the program played the scene where director Hong Tao announced the results.

When Lin Qianqian saw that Hu Tian was the last singer among the first singers in this episode, she was a little surprised, but not much.

Lin Qianqian knew from the moment she saw Hu Tian's performance that something wasn't right with him this episode. This time, Hu Tian's ranking wouldn't be very high.

The program has reached its later stages, and the singers who remain are all very talented. If you encounter any problems, your ranking will definitely drop sharply.

At this moment, Lin Qianqian looked at Shen Hongyu and suddenly felt that the probability of Shen Hongyu successfully challenging the opponent in this round seemed quite high.

"Haha, Hu Tian is last. Tsk tsk, he deserves it. This is the retribution for being a villain."

"This is karma, haha, last place, why do I feel like Teacher Shen Hongyu has a good chance of successfully challenging the other team this time?"

"I think so too, but I'm still curious. What's Jiang Yu's ranking this round? Park Junyeol is coming on strong and seems to want to overtake him again."

……

At this moment, many people were discussing Hu Tian's ranking in this episode on the barrage, but more people were curious about Jiang Yu and the others' ranking in this episode.

After seeing the final ranking results, Lin Qianqian and the audience were stunned.

Lin Qianqian almost thought she had seen it wrong, and quickly pulled the progress bar back to look at it again, her pupils shrinking.

"Jiang Yu is actually number one!"

Lin Qianqian was truly shocked by the result. Although she had previously thought that Jiang Yu might surpass Teacher Duo Ya and take first place, it was just a thought. She knew very well that success would still be very difficult.

As a result, in this episode, Jiang Yu gave her a surprise and surpassed Teacher Duo Ya directly with the song "Blue and White Porcelain"!

At this moment, the audience was also stunned, and the barrage of comments directly flooded the screen.

"Oh my god! What happened? Jiang Yu actually surpassed Teacher Duo Ya and took first place?!"

"Awesome! That's awesome! I actually surpassed Teacher Duoya and took first place!"

"This is the first time since this season's Singer premiered that a domestic singer has surpassed Teacher Duo Ya. Jiang Yu is truly amazing! He's truly made a comeback for our domestic singers!"

"Yeah, although I like Teacher Duo Ya too, it's really hard to see domestic singers being beaten by foreign guests on their home turf. It's really frustrating. But now it's all good. Jiang Yu won. Jiang Yu surpassed Teacher Duo Ya and took first place. Our domestic singers have finally defeated foreign guests!"

"Hu Tian, ​​take a good look at this. This is the gap between you and Jiang Yu now. Haha, you are such a villain. You deserve to be eliminated. Teacher Shen Hongyu has successfully kicked you out!"

……

In this episode, Jiang Yu won first place. This is the first time that a domestic guest defeated a foreign guest and won first place in the "Singer" program this year!
Ever since the show "Singer" aired, everyone has been frustrated by seeing Chinese singers being outshined by foreign guests on their home turf. Online, there's even been a huge outcry, with people saying it's shameful. Both the production team and the Chinese guests are under immense pressure.

Before, everyone placed their hopes on Hu Tian, ​​hoping that Hu Tian could defeat the foreign guests, take first place, and vent the anger of the domestic singers.

As a result, Hu Tian still failed to win. Not only did he fail to win, he also kept losing to Jiang Yu. Now in this episode, he was directly eliminated.

But now, Jiang Yu has done what Hu Tian couldn't do. At this moment, many viewers felt relieved.

Yang Xue and Su Muwan watched this scene, and their beautiful eyes lit up. After watching the show, they quickly sent a congratulatory message to Jiang Yu who was filming in Country T.

At this moment, on the Internet, as this episode of "Singer" was broadcast, the hot searches also exploded.

"Jiang Yu is number one (explosion)!"

"Jiang Yu defeated Duo Ya!"

"Hu Tian is eliminated!"

"Jiang Yu's new song, Blue and White!"

"Park Junyeol lost to Jiang Yu again!"

"Shen Hongyu successfully challenged the opponent!"

……

The most popular, shocking, and eye-catching news was the news that Jiang Yu had defeated Duo Ya to take the top spot. As soon as the show finished airing, it went viral. Whether it was Weibo or major short video platforms, the news was all over the internet.

After that, the news that was second only to Jiang Yu winning first place was the news that Hu Tian was eliminated in this episode.

When many netizens saw this news, they were stunned. Hu Tian was actually eliminated?

"Oh my god! I haven't even watched the show yet. What's going on? Hu Tian was eliminated?"

"This episode's challenger singer is Shen Hongyu. Hu Tian's mental state was affected by his previous loss to Jiang Yu, and his performance was particularly poor. In the end, his votes were lower than Shen Hongyu's. Shen Hongyu successfully challenged him, and he was eliminated."

"Hey, isn't this the arrogant king from before? You deserve it. You were the one who led the trend to slander Jiang Yu and even scolded him, haha."

"As expected, Li Shuming announced his retirement, and now Hu Tian has also been eliminated. Haha, these two golden duos, I think Hu Tian and Li Shuming should just retire together."

"Hey, they won't quit the industry, they still want to keep making money."

……

At this moment, Jiang Yu was resting in a hotel in Country T.

Holding his phone, he leaned against the head of the bed and chatted with his three exes. There was nothing he could do. Three of them were sending him messages one after another. Chatting with three people at the same time was a bit annoying for Jiang Yu.

If you accidentally send the message you wanted to send to your ex to another ex, it will be difficult to resolve.

It's not that hot in Country T at night, but it's not as cold as in China either. Jiang Yu doesn't feel cold even in his pajamas without turning on the heater.

If he were in the country now, without air conditioning or heating, he would feel that he would not be warm enough even in bed.

After replying to Su Muwan's message, he reminded her to take good rest while abroad and not to be too tired, and then replied to the movie queen Yang Xue.

Yang Xue asked herself when she would go back. She had recently finished filming and was going home to take a break.

"As for me, I'll be back the day after tomorrow. After all, I still have work to do in China, and the singers also have to record."

Facing the movie queen, with whom he had already had an in-depth conversation before, Jiang Yu seemed more relaxed and asked with a smile.

"What's wrong? Does our movie queen miss me?"

Yang Xue leaned against the head of the bed, looked at Jiang Yu's message, and snorted coldly.

Who cares about him?

However, looking at the porcelain doll on the cabinet over there, Yang Xue's eyes softened a little, and she typed a message with both hands.

"When are you moving in? I see your house has been renovated for a long time, right?"

"Well, maybe next year, to give it some air. Otherwise, if I move in now, it'll be filled with the smell."

"Oh fine."

Seeing the message from Sister Yuqing, Jiang Yu looked at the displayed Yang Xue typing, but ignored it and directly exited and clicked on Song Yuqing's chat page. It was not a text message, but a voice message from Sister Yuqing. When he opened it, he was greeted by Sister Yuqing's sweet voice.

"Brother, when are you coming back? I happen to be free recently and want to hang out with you. After that, I have to be busy. I have to be a mentor on Penguin's talent show, Rising Star."

When Jiang Yu heard the word "brother", the corners of his mouth rose slightly. Sister Yuqing is still the best.

However, when Jiang Yu heard Sister Yuqing say that she also wanted to participate in "Star of Tomorrow", he was shocked.

"Ah? Yuqing, you're going to participate too. What a coincidence! I'm going to participate too."

Back home, when Sister Yuqing saw the news, she suddenly sat up from the bed, her beautiful eyes filled with excitement and surprise.

My brother is also going to participate in "Tomorrow's Star"?!

Doesn’t that mean that I can record a show with my brother later?
