How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 216 Wow, they are all living stars! (Please subscribe)

As the voice of the staff sounded on the big screen, the attention of the one hundred students in the recording hall was immediately focused on the entrance of the hall. There was a hint of expectation in their eyes, wanting to know who their mentors were.

"Let's welcome our mentor!"

As the staff member finished speaking, the door of the recording hall opened at this moment, and the five mentors appeared in everyone's sight. Looking at the five mentors who walked in, the students looked excited.

"Oh my god! It's Jiang Yu! It's Jiang Yu! I didn't expect Jiang Yu to be our mentor!"

"Ahhh! And Teacher Song Yuqing, she's here too! Oh my god, she's on the show with Jiang Yu!"

"And Teacher Shen Hongyu!"

"Wu Tao! Brother Tao, he must be the rap mentor!"

"Teacher Liu Huayu is here too! Wow! Our show has such a strong lineup of mentors!"

……

The students were all awestruck by the five mentors. All five were renowned domestic singers, each possessing impressive talent. Jiang Yu, standing in the center, was particularly impressive; he was undoubtedly the most popular and prestigious of the five. He was the youngest superstar in Chinese music history, with numerous hit songs and a tremendously high popularity.

When many students saw Jiang Yu, they all had an idea in their minds: when choosing a mentor group later, they must choose Jiang Yu's group. After all, Jiang Yu's group has a very strong and popular mentor. The key is that everyone thinks Jiang Yu is a good songwriter. If they can get a good relationship with Jiang Yu, they may be able to get some help from him, such as helping them write songs.

At the very least, joining Teacher Jiang Yu's group can at least help me take advantage of Teacher Jiang Yu's traffic and popularity.

Jiang Yu and the other five stood at the front of the hall, scanning the 100 people seated in the tiered seating. They were a mix of men and women, all of whom were incredibly good-looking. After all, they were going to be entertainers, so they all had good looks. Trainees from certain companies were especially attractive, with their looks being undeniable. To be selected as a trainee by an entertainment company meant they at least had decent looks.

"Hello everyone!"

Jiang Yu and his friends each took a microphone and greeted the students. Jiang Yu stood in the C position and was arranged by Director Hu to be the guest mentor in charge of the show.

With the arrival of Jiang Yu and others, one hundred students also stood up. Jiang Yu held the script in his hand and began to follow the process.

"The teachers and I have already reviewed everyone's profiles backstage. I believe you've all been preparing for this opportunity for a long time. So, without further ado, each student will take the stage and perform independently. The five of us mentors will give an initial rating of your performances, which will serve as an assessment of your overall stage presence. Of course, there will be no eliminations this round."

"If your performance is recognized by our instructors, they will light up your team. You can choose your favorite instructor's team to join. Of course, you can only choose from the instructors who light up your team. There are 100 students, and each instructor's team has 20 spots. If the team is full but other students still want to join, we will have to compete with each other."

Jiang Yu briefly explained the rules for the upcoming performances: "Alright, now we're officially starting the first round of group performances. Everyone, get ready. In one minute, please go on stage voluntarily. If no one goes on stage voluntarily, we'll randomly select someone from the list of students here to perform."

After Jiang Yu finished introducing the rules, the five mentors sat down in the front mentor seats, and the students behind them began to get nervous.

The next moment, some students took the stage to perform.

Jiang Yu and his team looked at the information and found that the first person to appear was a trainee from the company, a male singer and dancer. He was indeed young, only 19 years old. However, Jiang Yu and his team's information showed that he had been training for two and a half years.

It had to be said that this trainee, who had trained for two and a half years, was indeed quite capable to be the first to debut. Although he had many flaws, Jiang Yu and the others thought he was pretty good among the trainees who hadn't debuted yet.

However, because it was the first student, Jiang Yu and the others were not sure about the strength level of the following students, so they were cautious in grading and gave them a B grade. The last ones to have the light on were Wu Tao, Liu Huayu, and Song Yuqing.

Especially Song Yuqing, she herself was from an idol girl group, and this type of singing and dancing student is more suitable for her.

As expected, the student finally chose Song Yuqing.

With someone taking the lead, many guests followed one after another, and their performance levels fluctuated.

At this moment, a student wearing glasses and with an ordinary appearance came on stage. As soon as this student came on stage, Jiang Yu and the others could clearly feel that he was very nervous. His whole face was a little red, and there were some body movements, and the tension on his face was very obvious.

The most important thing is that when the students stood in front and began to introduce themselves, Jiang Yu and the others could clearly smell the smell of alcohol.

Jiang Yu felt his nervousness and seeing that he was an amateur after looking at his profile, he just smiled and comforted him.

"Don't be nervous, introduce yourself first."

As a result, when the student saw the celebrity teacher in front of him, he was a little excited: "Wow! They are all living celebrities!"

This sentence made Jiang Yu and the others laugh. He also jokingly responded: "If it's not alive, then you have seen a dead one."

"That's why we don't have this opportunity."

After hearing this reply, Jiang Yu and the others were amused, and even the students behind him laughed.

Shen Hongyu, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Please introduce yourself first."

"Hello everyone, hello teachers, my name is Huang Chen, and I'm from Northeast China..."

Judging from his self-introduction, he was obviously very nervous. Jiang Yu looked at the profile on his file and saw that he was an amateur student, so he asked with a smile.

"Don't be nervous, Huang Chen. I want to ask you, were you drunk before you went on stage?"

Huang Chen smiled shyly and a little embarrassedly: "Ah? I was found out?"

"Well, it's obvious that you smell of alcohol."

At this time, Wu Tao looked at Huang Chen and asked, "Huang Chen, I saw in your information that you are a nurse. What made you want to participate in our program?"

Huang Chen replied: "I just wanted to give it a try. I also do some creative work on a daily basis."

Hearing this, Wu Tao also laughed. He looked at Huang Chen, who was wearing large and thick glasses and looked so ordinary. Especially since he was an amateur and had no resources given by the company.

That's it?

Still creating?

Still want to participate in the show and be a star?
Isn't this a joke?

Anyway, he didn't think that students like Huang Chen could make it to the end and win the championship.

Especially when he saw Huang Chen's performance, a slow, lyrical song, played and sung while sitting on a high stool with a guitar in his arms, Wu Tao looked at the original song he had brought and thought it wasn't very well written. He didn't like it anyway. It wasn't his style, either.

Jiang Yu watched Huang Chen's performance. He saw that his basic skills were present, though students certainly had their flaws. However, his original song piqued Jiang Yu's interest. While it was a bit slangy and lacked aesthetic appeal, its plainness and simplicity resonated with reality. He felt that only an ordinary person like Huang Chen, someone who had risen from the bottom of society, could write lyrics like this.

Because ordinary people have the most detailed experience and observation of life, and are the most capable of writing simple yet touching songs.

"It's quite interesting."

Seeing her brother staring at the lyrics written by Huang Chen, Song Yuqing approached Jiang Yu and asked in a low voice.

"Brother, do you think this student is suitable?"

There were already about ten students on stage, but not a single one of them had asked their brother to light up the lights. She knew that her brother was very strict. She could even see from the expressions of the students who had just performed that many of them actually wanted to be in her brother's group.

But unfortunately, my brother's requirements are too high. More than ten students have performed on stage, but so far none of them has let him light up.

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "I'm interested. Although the lyrics he wrote seem a bit strange, when you think about it carefully, you can feel some feeling, a sense of life."

At this time, Huang Chen's performance was over. As soon as the performance was over, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At the moment when Huang Chen's performance ended, Jiang Yu and Shen Hongyu turned on the lights. They looked at each other and smiled.

Jiang Yu didn't expect that Shen Hongyu was also interested in this student.

The students at the back were also stunned. When they saw Teacher Jiang Yu turn on the light for the first time, they all looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Oh my god! This is the first time Teacher Jiang Yu has turned on the light!"

"What's going on? Teacher Jiang Yu actually gave Huang Chen a light. There were many outstanding students before, but Teacher Jiang Yu didn't give them lights. I feel like Huang Chen is just average, too."

"I'm not sure, but Huang Chen's basic singing skills are passable. It's just that the songs he wrote felt weird to me. Maybe Teacher Jiang Yu felt that Huang Chen's songs were original, and since he's a singer-songwriter himself, he had lower expectations for students who can create?"

……

Wu Tao and the others didn't expect that Jiang Yu and Shen Hongyu would actually light up the lights for Huang Chen.

During the mentor evaluation session, Liu Huayu was the first to speak. His light did not turn on, but his evaluation was very pertinent.

Jiang Yu, on his part, said, "I'm giving the thumbs up to you, Huang Chen. I think you're a singer-songwriter with great potential." After hearing what Jiang Yu said, the students became curious. Wu Tao sneered in his heart, you may be optimistic about Huang Chen, but I'm not.

Huang Chen looked at Teacher Jiang Yu with anticipation.

Jiang Yu continued, "Your song may seem a bit strange and ordinary to many people, but I think that within this ordinariness, it carries a sense of life. It's plain and simple, yet very vivid and lifelike. For a new student, I think it's quite good. In this song you wrote, I can feel your creative spirit. I'm very optimistic about you, so I'm lighting a light for you..."

When Huang Chen heard what Teacher Jiang Yu said, a gleam flashed in his eyes, as if he was touched by being recognized.

Shen Hongyu also smiled and said, "I have a similar opinion to Teacher Jiang Yu. Huang Chen, I think your lyrics are very spiritual. Although they are a bit strange, they give people a very vivid picture..."

"I really hope you can join my group."

The battle between the two teachers for the talent began, and when Wu Tao was commenting, he was silent for a while.

"My opinion differs somewhat from that of Professor Jiang Yu and the others. Huang Chen, I think your song is a bit... well, childish and not very mature. But for a new student, it's still pretty good to be able to write a song on your own."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Yu and felt that what he said was correct.

Moreover, Jiang Yu is optimistic about Huang Chen, but he is not so good. Not to mention the songs this guy wrote, but with his appearance and amateur background, he thinks it is impossible for him to make his debut.

If you say you're handsome, even if you're an amateur, you can attract a lot of fans with your looks and the talent to write songs. If you're popular, you might even be able to debut.

But if you are not good-looking and are an amateur, it will be difficult to make your debut even if you can write some decent songs.

Song Yuqing acted as the host and said with a smile, "Now, Huang Chen, you can choose your mentor. Will you choose Teacher Jiang Yu or Teacher Shen Hongyu?"

Her voice is naturally sweet, and when she speaks, there seems to be a sweet feeling. Especially with Song Yuqing's sweet appearance, many male students feel that they are attracted by her, and many female students think that Song Yuqing is so sweet.

After saying this, Song Yuqing blinked at her brother who was sitting next to her, as if to say, Brother, I mentioned you first, and I am helping you to recruit people.

Jiang Yu smiled, and he and Shen Hongyu looked at Huang Chen standing in front of them, waiting for his choice.

Huang Chen was holding the microphone, still a little reserved. He glanced at Jiang Yu and Shen Hongyu, the two teachers who had lit the lights for him, and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Thank you very much for your recognition, teachers. Thank you also to Teacher Shen Hongyu..."

Hearing this, Shen Hongyu suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and sure enough, the next moment, it came.

"But I'm sorry, I choose Teacher Jiang Yu."

really……

Shen Hongyu smiled helplessly. When she heard Huang Chen say that at the beginning, she realized in her heart that there must be a turning point, and here it came.

And when she saw Jiang Yu's light come on for the first time, Shen Hongyu actually felt that she would most likely not be able to compete with Jiang Yu. After all, many students had wanted to join Jiang Yu's group, but Jiang Yu hadn't gotten a light. Shen Hongyu felt that Jiang Yu seemed to prefer students with creative ability, while most of the students before him had only covered other people's songs.

She looked at Jiang Yu, her old acquaintance, and said with a helpless smile: "Alas, as expected, I still can't compete with you, Jiang Yu."

Jiang Yu smiled and replied, "Hey, Mr. Shen's group already has several talented students, I'm just the first one."

Wu Tao and Liu Huayu looked at each other. Both of them were not optimistic about the student Huang Chen. There was no way. Not only was his appearance too poor, but he was also an amateur with no company and no resources. The songs he wrote also felt weird.

Especially Wu Tao, when he saw Huang Chen joining Jiang Yu's group, there was finally someone sitting in Jiang Yu's team seat, he sneered in his heart.

This guy, he didn't want so many talented trainees from big companies, but chose this ordinary amateur. He thought Huang Chen would be gone by the next elimination round.

If Jiang Yu selected students in this way, he felt that his group would probably have no chance of winning the championship.

After all, the students' votes wouldn't just be decided by the teachers themselves, but also by the audience and online voting. In the entertainment industry these days, handsome men and beautiful women are the new thing, and students like Huang Chen are just too ordinary. By then, other students would be able to surpass him by a lot just based on their looks.

The students behind them were also eager to join the group when they saw that the always strict teacher Jiang Yu finally had a member. After watching for so long, everyone seemed to know that teacher Jiang Yu was strict and seemed to prefer singer-songwriters.

All of a sudden, many students who had creative abilities and had prepared original songs but had not yet performed were a little tempted.

"Hello teachers, my name is Yang Zihan. I'm from Hangzhou and currently a senior student at the Hangzhou Conservatory of Music..."

At this time, a beautiful student appeared on the stage. As soon as she came on stage, the students present, especially the male students, were a little excited.

In front of Jiang Yu and the others, the beautiful student Yang Zihan stood there in a coquettish manner. In the room with heating, she was dressed very coolly. She wore black jeans, revealing a pair of sexy and slender legs. She wore a belly-baring top with a white sweater. She looked modern and sexy, yet also somewhat innocent.

Especially since she always had a smile on her face, she was clearly the kind of goddess on campus who could only be admired from afar. But looking at that smile, she felt a sense of familiarity. Even when meeting the gazes of the instructors, her eyes showed no fear.

Wu Tao's eyes lit up at the sight of this pure and sexy student. There had been many beautiful female students before, but none on Yang Zihan's level. He felt that a beauty of this level would definitely be considered a school beauty in school, and even in the entertainment industry, her looks would be considered top-notch.

Wu Tao was suddenly moved. If such a beautiful student came to his group, it would be a delight to see. And if she came to his group, there would definitely be opportunities for development.

When he was on "The Rap of China," he had some illicit relationships with many female students. That's how it is in the entertainment industry, especially for top idols like Wu Tao. If they're worried about losing fans, they'll just not date. But there's definitely a sexual desire involved. Given his status as a mentor on rap shows over the past two years, he's had relationships with quite a few female students.

At this moment, Wu Tao came with a smile on his face. He struck a pose that he thought was very handsome, looked at Yang Zihan, and asked in a soft voice.

"Zi Han is still a student, so doesn't that mean he'll graduate next semester?"

Yang Zihan nodded: "Yes, I'm already a senior."

"Oh, that's fine. As a music school major, I'm very optimistic about you, Zihan. Come on!"

Shen Hongyu glanced at Wu Tao. They were all in the same circle, so they had heard some of Wu Tao's private life. The moment this guy saw the beautiful student, he became enthusiastic.

Song Yuqing glanced at her brother at this moment and found that he was normal, so she felt relieved.

Humph! I won't be attracted to these female students.

"Okay, then start your performance."

Yang Zihan sang an original song she brought with her, a slow lyrical song about campus love, which was more in line with her student identity.

It's true that the professional students from this music conservatory have solid singing skills. Even Jiang Yu feels that the basic skills of the trainees from entertainment companies are not as good as Yang Zihan's.

Song Yuqing also whispered to Jiang Yu: "Brother, she is a professional student, and her singing skills are very solid."

Because Jiang Yu was sitting in the middle, with Song Yuqing and Shen Hongyu sitting on either side of him, the fragrance of Song Yuqing getting closer to him was even stronger. Especially when the little girl got close to Jiang Yu's ear and spit out orchids, it made him feel itchy.

"Yeah, it's really good, and the songs are okay too."

When Song Yuqing heard what her brother said, she became curious and alert. Could it be that her brother wanted to snatch this beautiful student away?
If it was a boy, she would think it was okay, but this female student, such a beautiful one at that, not to mention the boys, she also thought all the girls were beautiful. Suddenly, the little girl became a little alert.

No, no, I can't let Yang Zihan go to my brother's team. I have to take him away myself.

If there was such a beautiful student in her brother's team, even if her brother didn't have any thoughts, she would still feel uneasy.

The students felt a sense of crisis watching Yang Zihan's performance. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very talented. She is worthy of being a professional student of the Conservatory of Music.

Everyone is here to compete for the chance to debut as a champion. The stronger the others are, the more intense the competition will be, and the harder it will be to win the championship and make your debut.

When Yang Zihan finished her performance, she still had that smile on her face, her long hair was loose, and her innocent face showed a bit of nervousness and anticipation.

When she saw that all five teachers had their lights on, a hint of surprise and excitement suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Even the students present were stunned.

"Oh my god! All the instructors have their lights on! This is terrifying!"

"That's normal, he's a professional and his singing skills are really good, there's nothing to criticize about him."

"Hiss! After such a long time, Yang Zihan is the first one to get five lights from the mentor. Ahhh! How come they are all so strong? Suddenly I feel that the competition is so fierce."

……

Everyone also looked at Yang Zihan with a smile, and Wu Tao spoke first to canvass for votes for himself.

"I think your singing skills are very solid, Zihan. You have the best basic skills among all the students I've listened to so far. I also think the songs you compose are very good. Although I'm a rapper, I'm also familiar with this type of love songs. I was also the first one to light up. If you were in my group, Zihan, I think your lyrical slow songs and my rap would create new sparks..."
