How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 211 Offending the Rap Circle?
On the stage, as Director Hong Tao finished his voice, everyone's attention was focused on Jiang Yu, who was standing to his right. The spotlight fell, shining on Jiang Yu, who stood tall and straight. At this moment, he was the focus of the entire audience!

Director Hong Tao looked at Jiang Yu with a smile on his face, with a bit of joy and excitement in his eyes. This result was acceptable to him and was also the one that surprised him the most.

Su Muwan sat there, her heart finally at ease. Looking at Jiang Yu, who was shining like a star on the stage, her beautiful eyes were filled with smiles and joy.

At this moment, everyone was shocked.

Jiang Yu is the champion!
Jiang Yu is the singing king of this season!
Even the artists and singers nearby were a bit excited at the moment; many of them had come to watch the excitement. However, none of them wanted to see a foreign guest win the championship. These people were already well-off back home, and it would be a struggle for their livelihoods. If another foreign guest, especially an artist from Country H, won, how would they survive? Wouldn't that make them increasingly convinced that money was easy to come by in China, and that other jobs offered them better pay?
Fortunately, Jiang Yu was very capable and won the championship directly!
And everyone looks at Jiang Yu's votes, it is a complete crush, it can be said that he is far ahead!
At this moment, Lin Qianqian felt her heart beating faster. She watched the show, not daring to look away for a moment.

Jiang Yu is the champion!
Jiang Yu really won the championship!
He is the singing king of this season!

At this moment, Lin Qianqian immediately took out her mobile phone, took a photo and posted it on WeChat Moments, sharing the good news with her best friend.

At this moment, the barrage in the live broadcast room was flooded with comments.

"Great! As expected of Jiang Yu, awesome! He's really made our Chinese singers proud, awesome!"

"Jiang Yu is the singer and the champion! The champion is our domestic guest!"

"Hiss! As expected of Jiang Yu, so terrifying!"

"Haha, look at Park Jun-yeol's face, it's like he's eaten a fly, ugh! I just can't stand these artists from Country H. They make money in our country, then turn around and belittle China. It's really disgusting. And yet there are so many young people in our country who like such people. I really don't understand."

……

At this moment, many audiences were cheering for Jiang Yu to win the championship.

A staff member brought up the championship trophy, and Director Hong Tao handed it to Jiang Yu with both hands. Streamers rained down from the sky, and Jiang Yu was the only one under the spotlight, his star-studded figure shining brightly...

Holding the trophy, he glanced at the audience and saw Su Muwan sitting in the first row over there, smiling slightly at him.

"Thank you all for your support! Um... As for words of thanks, thank you all! You've all been watching the livestream for so long and are tired, so I won't say much. I will bring you more and better works in the future. Thank you!"

Standing aside, Park Jun-yeol looked a little unhappy. He still lost and did not win the championship, but this rubbish singer from China got it.

Teacher Duo Ya was very generous and congratulated Jiang Yu with a smile.

At this moment, the cameraman seemed to be very good and understood what the audience wanted to see. In addition to giving a close-up of the champion Jiang Yu, he also gave close-ups of the faces of other guests, especially Park Junyeol.

When the audience saw Park Jun-yeol's uninterested expression, and even his face without a smile, many of them snorted coldly. It seemed that this guy couldn't afford to lose.

However, this scene made many of Park Jun-yeol's fans feel heartbroken.

"Wow, don't be sad, Oppa. We don't even want to be the champion of this rubbish show."

"That's right, we don't want the champion of this kind of rubbish show."

"What kind of show is this? Our oppa is so talented, but he's not the champion? Is there some shady deal going on?"

"What the hell is Jiang Yu singing? It's an ancient style song, it's about traditional culture. I feel like this kind of stuff should be eliminated in China. It's too unpleasant to listen to. I can't appreciate it."

"Exactly, H-style is still better. Fashion and trend. What the hell is this? It's outdated and outdated. Don't embarrass yourself by showing it off."

"No, are you still Chinese? You're so worshipful of foreign things. Jiang Yu is a singer from our country, a singer from China. Why can't he win the championship? It's okay for your androgynous Oppa to win the championship?"

"Tsk tsk, these young people today are really poisoned by H-culture. They don't support or like the culture of their ancestors. They are a bunch of people who worship foreign things and fawn on foreigners."

……

Many viewers felt disgusted watching the comments of Park Junyeol's fans in the live broadcast room. In the past two years, these young people in China have really been poisoned by this H-stream culture, and they all worship foreign things.

At this moment, Yang Xue and Song Yuqing were delighted when they saw Jiang Yu win the championship.

Especially the little girl Song Yuqing, she almost jumped out of the bed: "Brother is the champion!"

Suddenly thinking of something, the little girl immediately picked up her phone, edited a WeChat message and sent it to her brother.

She must be the first to send a congratulatory message to her brother!

On the other hand, Yang Xue was worthy of being a mature woman and a sister. Although she was happy and excited for Jiang Yu, she looked calm.

He picked up the phone beside him and typed a message.

"Congratulations on winning the championship!"

After thinking about it, he sent Jiang Yu another red envelope of 88,000 yuan, as a congratulations to this guy for winning the championship.

At this moment, this season of "Singer" officially came to an end. With Jiang Yu winning the championship, the live broadcast ended amid the cheers and shouts of the audience.

Jiang Yu was originally planning to look for Su Muwan, but after the live broadcast ended, he chatted with Director Hong Tao and others from the program crew for a while. When he went to look for Su Muwan, she had already left.

There was also a message from Su Muwan on the phone.

"Congratulations on winning the championship. I have a plane to catch, so I'll leave first."

When Jiang Yu saw the news, he smiled helplessly and wanted to say a few words.

However, when Jiang Yu saw the message sent by Yang Xue, clicked to receive the red envelope, and looked at the amount, his eyes changed.

I go!

She is worthy of being a rich sister. Our queen of the screen is so generous. This red envelope is worth 88,000 yuan.

Jiang Yu was sitting in the car on the way back to the hotel. His assistant Xiaoyue was driving, and his agent Chu Jingya was sitting next to Jiang Yu looking at some work arrangements on the tablet.

Jiang Yu was replying to messages from his good sister Yuqing while replying to messages from his rich sister Yang Xue.

"Thank you, Boss Yang, for the red envelope. I can't repay you enough. I will definitely give my all next time!"

Seeing that this guy was not serious, Yang Xue just rolled her eyes and used her own emoticon package.

There's no way. Our queen of the screen has filmed so many TV dramas and movies, and appeared on so many variety shows, so many emoticons have been made by fans and netizens.

"When will you come back?"

"In a few days, I have to fly back to Country T to film a movie. I won't be back until the Chinese Golden Melody Awards start. They invited me and I think I was nominated. I have to go."

Yang Xue also knew that the annual Chinese Golden Melody Awards were about to begin, and since Jiang Yu had been nominated, he would definitely attend. Yang Xue even thought that Jiang Yu would probably win an award this year.

"Ok."

Jiang Yu had just finished chatting with Yang Xue and the others when news about Xu Ya came.

"Are you going to film abroad?"

Jiang Yu looked at Xu Ya's message and remembered that when he left, Xu Ya and Director Hong Tao seemed to have been called away by the studio for something. They had originally planned to go to Xu Ya's house for a seafood dinner since Su Muwan was not there tonight.

But now, I guess I have to wait until the next time I come back to eat it.

"Well, the scenes over there haven't been finished yet, and the crew is waiting for me. I have to go back tonight."

Filming for the drama "Detective Chinatown" is now in its mid-to-late stages, and it's expected to wrap up by the end of the month, catching up with the Lunar New Year. This is already much sooner than Director Chen expected. Jiang Yu is very busy with work and has a lot of commitments back home, so when he returns, the crew will be waiting for him, and he doesn't want to delay.

"Okay, then you should be careful."

……

As the live broadcast of the "Singer" finals ends tonight, the hot searches on major platforms are basically dominated by related topics.

"Jiang Yu, the singing king!"

"Jiang Yu Champion!"

"Jiang Yu's fireworks on the finals stage fade away quickly!"

"Jiang Yu's rap!"

"Jiang Yu's rap is so nice!"

……

Besides Jiang Yu's victory in this season's King of Singers, the song "Fireworks Cool Easily" that Jiang Yu performed in tonight's finals was the most talked-about. The rap segment that Jiang Yu performed in the song went viral, with many netizens even editing it and posting it online, generating significant buzz.

After all, Jiang Yu's rap truly overturned everyone's perception of the traditional rap currently popular on the market. There were no vulgar lyrics, no random shouting, and it was completely different from the rap that most people disliked, or even disapproved of. Many people felt that Jiang Yu's rap was unique, standing out from the crowd, like a breath of fresh air. Many people who didn't like rap always thought that most rap in China was underground and not up to par. However, after hearing Jiang Yu's rap, they realized that it actually sounded quite good, and that they didn't actually dislike rap. It turned out that they only disliked the vulgar rap songs currently popular on the market.

"Oh my god! Jiang Yu's song 'Fireworks Cool Easily' is so beautiful, especially this rap part, it's so touching!"

"Indeed, I think this rap is good. I used to dislike listening to rap because I thought it was rubbish and not up to par. But I really like Jiang Yu's rap. I've listened to it over and over again."

"Me too. Jiang Yu's rap is completely different from the popular rap on the market. I used to think that domestic rap nowadays was just electronic music with random shouting and screaming, and it was just a competition of who could jump the highest. I didn't know there was something like Jiang Yu's, so clean and simple, yet so beautiful."

"Haha, I suggest those so-called rappers to learn a thing or two, listen to Jiang Yu, and learn what rap is all about, instead of just doing those messed-up raps full of bitterness and hatred."

"Exactly, those rappers should learn from Jiang Yu. This is what rap is all about!"

……

Many netizens compared Jiang Yu's rap with the rap of the so-called rappers in China today. Suddenly, they felt that there was a world of difference between them. They finally understood why this was called underground rap, which was completely unpresentable.

However, this also upset many netizens who like to listen to popular rap, especially fans of so-called rappers. This was especially true of Wu Tao, a top star in China and known as the number one rapper. His fans were immediately unhappy when they heard someone say that their idol's rap was not good enough and was not as good as Jiang Yu's short piece of garbage rap.

"Haha? Jiang Yu, you call this rap? I'm afraid you're overthinking it. This is just reading an article at best, how can you call it rap?"

"Exactly. Do you know what rap is? Our brother Wu Tao's rap is the best. That's what rap is. What's Jiang Yu's?"

"No, I admit Jiang Yu is amazing, but if you say he's a great rapper, better than the entire rap world, haha, I'm the first to disagree. What can such a short rap piece really prove? Or is it just reading a text? How can a singer who doesn't even have a complete rap song be associated with rap? Does he even understand rap?"

"That's right, our brother Wu Tao raps so well, how can Jiang Yu compare? Let's talk about it when he has a complete rap work, hehe."

……

The singers in the rap circle have always had bad tempers. When they saw that Jiang Yu was praised to the sky by his so-called fans just for a short rap and was being trampled upon by them, they immediately became unhappy.

Many rappers responded on their social media accounts, some directly criticizing Jiang Yu, others indirectly implying something. Wu Tao, the leading rapper in China, also saw the online news, and many of his fans even sent him private messages and spoke up for him in the comment section.

Even on WeChat, many of his rapper groups were complaining about this matter, and some even tagged him in the groups.

"Brother Tao, look at what kind of people these are. Jiang Yu, this guy, just a short piece of worthless stuff, has been praised to the sky by his fans. They even say our rap is garbage and vulgar. Haha, I really laughed."

"That's right, Brother Tao, you're so awesome, and you're the boss of our rap circle. I see a lot of big guys in the circle have responded, why don't you respond?"

"Brother Tao, go respond. Is Jiang Yu really that powerful in the rap world? His fans don't even take you seriously. How despicable!"

……

Wu Tao was looking at the rappers in the group chat. Several of his close friends were tagging him. Even on Weibo, he saw quite a few rappers responding.

Wu Tao sneered at this and looked at the comments from netizens. He even listened to Jiang Yu's rap segment. The result was, this?

Can this be called rap?
It's such a short and plain song, but his fans can praise it so much?

And you say theirs is garbage and Jiang Yu’s is called rap?
Wu Tao laughed. These people, including Jiang Yu, were probably here to make people laugh, right?

As the rapper of his former group in Country H, he shot to the top after returning to China after his contract was terminated. Furthermore, he participated in rap shows as a mentor over the past two years, single-handedly boosting the tepid popularity of rap in China. He expanded his career, becoming known as the number one rapper in China. How could he be accused by some of being inferior to Jiang Yu and his rapping not being as good as Jiang Yu's?
Wu Tao is a very arrogant person. He has been praised for many years and is used to hearing all kinds of good things. Now he feels uncomfortable when he sees these comments online. He also sees that many rappers are responding to them and his brothers in the group are calling on him to speak out.

Suddenly, Wu Tao also felt that as the top rapper in China, it would be inappropriate for him not to respond to this. Would others think that he was afraid and agreed with the opinions of Jiang Yu's fans?

Thinking of this, Wu Tao replied in the group.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. What kind of thing is this? How dare he try to get involved with us? Does he really think he can cheat us?"

Afterwards, Wu Tao edited a text message on his Weibo, which directly implied something about Jiang Yu and his fans.

"Rap isn't something that just anyone can do, and not everyone who can recite a few lines of lyrics can be called a rapper. Especially for singers who don't have any rap works at all, I think they shouldn't even get involved..."

The message was short, only about a hundred words. It didn't even mention anyone's name, but between the lines everyone could tell that Wu Tao was hinting at Jiang Yu and his fans.

Wu Tao is already a top star with a lot of attention, and this incident has caused quite a stir online. Many rappers have responded to this, and now Wu Tao, known as the number one rapper in China, has come out to respond, and he has immediately become a trending topic.

"Wu Tao responded!"

"Wu Tao implied that Jiang Yu didn't understand rap!"

……

All of a sudden, the trending search was pushed into the top three. Wu Tao and Jiang Yu, both top-tier celebrities, each with a higher popularity and traffic than the other, immediately caused an online outcry.

Many of Wu Tao's fans and Jiang Yu's fans started arguing online.

"Brother Tao is right. Can Jiang Yu's performance be called rap? I feel like it's just like reading a text."

"That's right, how can Jiang Yu compare to Brother Wu Tao? Do you understand the value of being the number one rapper in China? Jiang Yu, don't try to get close to him."

"I don't know what Jiang Yu's fans are yelling about. He doesn't even have a complete rap song. How can he understand rap? What a joke!"

"Haha, are you saying that Jiang Yu's rap isn't considered rap? Anyway, I think Jiang Yu's rap is better. It's better than Wu's rap which is just electronic music."

"I just like Jiang Yu's rap, so what? A short rap isn't rap? Besides, do you know Jiang Yu won't release a rap song in the future? Haha, anyway, those rap songs in the circle nowadays are terrible to listen to, and most of them are vulgar and disgusting."

……

The incident caused quite a stir online, attracting many netizens and people in the circle to watch the drama.

Jiang Yu has offended the entire rap community this time, right?

These people are not easy to deal with. If you encounter any problems, they will confront you directly and even write songs about you.

Tsk tsk, it seems that Jiang Yu is completely at odds with the rap community. At least because of this incident, everyone in the rap community now dislikes Jiang Yu.

But everyone is also very curious, will Jiang Yu release a complete rap song in response?

After all, the rap community is obsessed with this. "Jiang Yu, you don't even have a complete rap song. What do you know about rap? What right do your fans have to say you're better than us?"

However, although this incident caused a big uproar, there was no response from Jiang Yu.

It was the next day when Jiang Yu woke up in the hotel of the T Country crew. On the way to the crew, his agent Chu Jingya told him about this matter.

"Wu Tao?"

When Jiang Yu heard Chu Jingya mention the name Wu Tao, she also showed him the Weibo posts posted by Wu Tao, as well as the posts by those rappers who publicly dissed and implied him last night.

Jiang Yu didn't care about this, but the name Wu Tao sounded familiar to him.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he was one of the mentors of "Star of Tomorrow" that Director Hu had told me before.

Jiang Yu even went through his previous chat history with Director Hu and looked at Wu Tao's Weibo to confirm that it was the same person.

This made Jiang Yu laugh.

This is such a coincidence. This guy implied me, dissed me, and then had to record a show with me. It can be said that we are enemies on a narrow road.

Chu Jingya was also a little confused when she saw Jiang Yu's smile.

"What's wrong, Mr. Jiang?"

"Do you know this Wu Tao?"

Today, Chu Jingya was dressed in a more intellectual style. The weather here wasn't as cold as back home, so she was wearing a professional suit. The white women's suit gave her a more urbane vibe. She wore rimless glasses and spoke softly, looking mature and beautiful, full of the charm of a woman of her age.

"I don't know him, but Director Hu told me before that he is one of the mentors of Tomorrow's Star."

Chu Jingya was also stunned. What a coincidence?
Enemies on a narrow road?

She looked at Jiang Yu and said, "I see this matter has caused quite a stir, but I think it's best if we don't respond. Anyway, it wasn't you, President Jiang, who started this matter. It was all caused by netizens."

Chu Jingya felt that it was better to deal with this kind of thing coldly. If they responded, it would only add to the heat.

Jiang Yu nodded. He was too lazy to respond in his heart. Rap?
Haha, he has also listened to the rap in this world. What the hell is that?

As for the implications and ridicule of Wu Tao and others, he felt that no matter how you responded, it would be useless. The only way was to throw your work directly in their faces and let the work speak for itself.
