How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 223 Night
The next day, Jiang Yu left Zhonghai City and came to Hangzhou, which is the recording base of "Star of Tomorrow" and the training camp where the students are located.

After being away for so long, I came back this time and the next day I was going to record the second episode. This episode was completely different from the internal recording grouping of the first episode. This time, the audience would come to the scene to vote, so this was considered the first stage performance for all the students.

Therefore, during this period, the students have been working extra hard, taking both the guidance from their own group of instructors and the open classes with all the students seriously.

When Jiang Yu returned, the students in his group were so excited. Yang Zihan and her group had just finished an open class and as they left the classroom, they saw their instructor walking towards them.

"Oh, class is over. Okay, come to this empty classroom. I'll give you a surprise check. Tomorrow is the second recording. Let me see if you have any questions."

Jiang Yu had just arrived and asked Director Hu what the students were doing. He said they were having an open dance class, so he came to check it out. But it looked like the class was already over, so he took this opportunity to check if the students had put in enough effort.

When Lin Feifei and the others saw their mentor, they immediately surrounded him.

"Ah! Teacher Jiang Yu, we miss you so much!"

Jiang Yu looked at Lin Feifei and the others surrounding him. Now everyone was wearing the uniforms specially prepared by the program team for the trainees. The boys' uniforms were nothing special, but the girls' short skirts were really nice. Indoors, there was heating all day long, so it didn't feel cold. Everyone was wearing short skirts, and their beautiful legs were particularly eye-catching. In particular, some of them were wearing various stockings, such as Lin Feifei, who was wearing over-the-knee white stockings today. She had a good figure and a generous personality. She looked sexy and hot, like a hot pepper.

She rushed to him first. Although this girl was carefree, she knew her limits. She didn't take any action, but just looked at Jiang Yu with a smile.

"Hehe, Teacher Jiang Yu, you're finally back. We missed you so much when you were away, especially me~"

Seeing this, the other students also expressed that they missed their mentor. Although it was not known how many of them were sincere, Jiang Yu just smiled.

"Alright, alright, this isn't working for me. I've already told you everything on WeChat. I've given you all the pointers. Come on, come on. The classroom is empty now, right? Come in. I'll check everyone one by one to see if you've been slacking off while I'm gone."

When they heard that Teacher Jiang Yu would come back to test everyone's practice results, some people looked expectant and excited, ready to perform well in front of their mentor, while some people were a little nervous.

Jiang Yu brought his group of students into the empty classroom. Each student performed for Jiang Yu the program they would be performing in the second recording tomorrow. Jiang Yu also commented on each of them one by one and gave his opinions, asking them to make corrections if there were any flaws and keep the ones that didn't have any major problems.

Wu Tao and Liu Huayu had just finished teaching two other groups of students. When they passed by this classroom, they suddenly heard Jiang Yu's voice coming from inside. The two looked at each other.

"Is this guy back?"

Liu Huayu checked the time and nodded. "It should be him. I heard from Director Hu that Jiang Yu's film has finished shooting and he will be back today."

The two of them gently pushed open the door of the classroom and took a look, and sure enough, they saw Jiang Yu.

However, Wu Tao and Liu Huayu did not go in. They had just finished class and were preparing to take a break.

Liu Huayu thought of what happened between Wu Tao and Jiang Yu in the last episode, and looked at Wu Tao curiously and asked.

"Last episode, Jiang Yu said he wanted to perform a rap song in tomorrow's mentor performance. What do you think?"

Liu Huayu knew very well that this was the rivalry between Jiang Yu and Wu Tao. Wu Tao and so many rappers had previously posted articles implying Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu did this just to fight back and to clear his name and that of his fans who supported him.

However, Wu Tao didn't take it to heart at all. He patted his friend Liu Huayu on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Don't worry. If it were compared to other performances, I wouldn't have that much confidence. But Jiang Yu is going to perform rap, which is what I'm best at. He, haha, doesn't even know how to rap."

Just based on that short rap segment you sang before, you can say that you understand rap?

Will she be praised to the sky by Jiang Yu’s fans?
Haha, Wu Tao thinks so. This guy is completely seeking his own death this time.

……

At that moment, in the classroom, Jiang Yu finished watching the performances of the last two students, Lin Feifei and Zhao Ying. Jiang Yu thought Lin Feifei's performance was quite good. She had a nice figure, a carefree personality, and a stage presence that was both singing and dancing. Jiang Yu also felt that Lin Feifei might be a better choice for Yuqing than for his own group.

As for Zhao Ying, she'd been around for so long that she wasn't as nervous about performing in front of everyone anymore, and her voice was naturally suited to it. However, she still hadn't mastered some of the techniques, and her singing wasn't that solid, relying solely on her voice to carry her through. Jiang Yu wasn't in a rush, however; this kind of technical skill needed to be learned slowly.

There are also Yang Zihan and Huang Chen, whose performances are also very exciting. Yang Zihan can become the focus just by standing there, relying on her appearance. She is a cool and pure campus goddess. He thinks that after the show is broadcast, she will definitely attract a large number of fans.

As for Huang Chen, Jiang Yu really liked him. He liked to make original music and had creative abilities. Among all the amateur contestants, Huang Chen's performance was quite impressive.

"All pretty good, it seems you guys know how important this stage is and you didn't slack off."

"I have some problems that I just mentioned. I will practice more and correct them. I will try to be in the best condition for tomorrow's performance..."

Jiang Yu said everything he needed to say, and he didn't want to waste the students' time with any more nonsense.

"Okay, that's it. Everyone, keep your best. I know there's only one spot for the champion to debut. But as long as you perform well on the show, some entertainment companies will take notice after it airs. If they think you have potential, they'll sign you even if you don't win. As for those of you who are already trainees at entertainment companies, you must work even harder. This show is also a platform for you to gain exposure. If you perform well, attract fans, gain popularity, and let the company see your value and strength, even if you don't win, they might still give you some resources to try to debut..."

“So, everyone, cheer for yourselves!”

……

The next day, the "Star of Tomorrow" program was recorded.

Today marked the second episode of "Star of Tomorrow," marking the students' first stage performance since being divided into groups. My group randomly selected the first choice from each of the five mentors for a competition. The final rankings were calculated based on votes from the audience and mentors. This was, in a sense, a debut stage performance for many of the students.

Soon after this episode is recorded, "Rising Star" will be airing, and all students' social media accounts will be activated. Online popularity voting will also begin, and this popularity vote will be factored into the rankings in the finals, making it a significant factor.

In popularity voting like this, students with strong abilities or good looks have a great advantage. After all, when you are a star, your appearance is your bargaining chip. If you are handsome or beautiful, you can attract many fans just by looking good.

A thousand spectators had already arrived. The students sat in their seats, looking at the large audience, feeling a little nervous. Meanwhile, the host took the stage, but the instructors were absent.

"Welcome everyone to the recording site of our Star of Tomorrow. Next, let us enjoy the performances of the mentors!"

The audiences were excited when they heard that they could enjoy the performances of the five mentors. Since the show had not been aired yet, most of them came to the scene just to see their favorite mentors.

"The instructor is performing. I'm so looking forward to it!"

"I see the mentors for this show are Jiang Yu and Song Yuqing. They have a special relationship, and they're recording the show together again. Hehe, I think we'll get some gossip."

"Wu Tao and Jiang Yu had a feud before. Wu Tao and so many rappers posted articles implying Jiang Yu, saying that he didn't understand rap. Now they are both on the same show. Tsk tsk, it's really a narrow road for enemies to meet."

"The instructors will be performing soon. Let's see which one of Jiang Yu and Wu Tao's performances is more exciting."

"There's no comparison at all. Wu Tao was definitely performing rap, and Jiang Yu was probably performing his slow, lyrical song. They're completely different."

……

The students were also looking forward to their respective mentors’ appearance, and the host spoke excitedly.

"Let us welcome our first instructor, Liu Huayu!"

As the host finished speaking, Liu Huayu's figure slowly rose from the center of the stage. He was performing one of his classic songs. He was already very popular, and he immediately livened up the atmosphere.

Then it was Song Yuqing’s turn to appear on stage. The sweet girl sang the song “Love You” which was written for her by Jiang Yu before, which made many male audiences and male students exclaim that she was so sweet and beautiful!

At this moment, Jiang Yu, Wu Tao and Shen Hongyu were all waiting backstage. As Song Yuqing's performance ended, Shen Hongyu also came on stage, leaving only Jiang Yu and Wu Tao backstage.

Wu Tao looked at Jiang Yu with a smile and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Teacher Jiang Yu said before that he would bring a rap song in this episode. I have to listen to it carefully later."

He had a smile on his face, but there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

rap?

Haha, Wu Tao felt from the beginning to the end that Jiang Yu was just looking for trouble. Performing rap in front of him was just courting death.

If Jiang Yu performed other types of songs, he felt that he might not be his match, after all, this guy was really strong and talented. But when it came to rap, he felt that he was definitely better than Jiang Yu.

Just kidding, do you understand the value of being the number one rapper in China?
Jiang Yu also smiled and said, "Then Teacher Wu Tao must take a good look at it."

Take a good look at what rap is. What the hell is that with all the shouting and electronic music?

Wu Tao snorted in his heart. It was his turn to go on stage. He immediately rocked the place.

A fast-paced rap, coupled with a strong mix of electronic music, really livened up the atmosphere. The talent show was attended by a young audience, many of whom were Wu Tao fans. Rap, compared to slower, more lyrical songs, was indeed more suitable for rocking the crowd. Wu Tao himself was also very lively, jumping and dancing on stage, and he inspired the audience and the students.

It looked like the whole scene was like a disco. The atmosphere was really good and exciting.

But Jiang Yu just shook his head as he watched. The electronic music was too heavy and the lyrics were just average. Besides, this was singing, not a competition to see who could jump higher on the stage.

However, looking at Wu Tao's fans and many young audiences at the scene, they all seemed to like this disco atmosphere.

After Wu Tao finished his performance, he returned to his mentor seat with a look of pride on his face.

Judging from the situation on the scene, the audience was very satisfied with his performance, and he himself was also satisfied.

Next, it was Jiang Yu's turn to rap. He figured that with his excellent performance in front of him, this guy would be embarrassed later.

"Teacher Wu, you looked so handsome just now, and your rap was amazing!"

Some students started praising their instructors. When Song Yuqing heard this, she curled her lips. "That's it?" She slowly picked up the microphone and walked onto the stage. Seeing this scene, the audience, students, and instructors were also stunned.

"Huh? What's going on? Isn't Teacher Jiang Yu going to perform soon? Why is Teacher Song up here?"

"Yeah, shouldn't it be Teacher Jiang Yu's performance?"

"Is it possible that Teacher Jiang Yu's performance will be with Teacher Song, and the two of them will be singing a duet?"

……

At this moment, the students suddenly realized something, and the audience looked at each other, but then they also revealed a look of gossip.

"Hiss! Jiang Yu is going to sing a duet with Song Yuqing. Tsk tsk, singing with his ex again. Jiang Yu is so lucky."

"Ahhh! My little sister Yuqing, wow wow wow, this guy was so ambiguous with my goddess Su Muwan before, and now he's doing this to my little sister Yuqing too, damn it!"

"Don't mention it, you really shouldn't mention it. I'm actually looking forward to Jiang Yu and Song Yuqing's collaboration on stage, haha."

"Me too, haha. I just like to ship couples, haha. I used to think Jiang Yu and Su Muwan were a good match. Then when I saw Jiang Yu guest-starring in Yang Xue's new drama, I thought he and Yang Xue were also a good match. Now that he's with sister Yuqing, I think these two are also suitable, haha."

……

At this moment, Lin Feifei and Yang Zihan were also stunned. Teacher Jiang Yu was going to sing with Teacher Song?
In the mentor's seat, Wu Tao and Liu Huayu looked at each other, both of them with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Isn’t Jiang Yu going to perform rap?
Why do we have to sing a duet with Song Yuqing?
Rap is not those slow lyrical songs. The duets of men and women are very romantic. Even Wu Tao has rarely seen a rap song that can be sung in duet.

Even Shen Hongyu had a hint of curiosity in her eyes as she looked at Song Yuqing who was slowly walking onto the stage with a microphone in her hand.

"What tricks is Jiang Yu going to play this time?"

It's a rap song, and it's the kind that she's going to sing with Song Yuqing. Shen Hongyu is also looking forward to it.

Director Hu, who was backstage at the show, was also smiling as he watched Song Yuqing, who was already ready on stage. Jiang Yu was about to take the stage. Director Hu was also looking forward to Jiang Yu's performance this episode.

When Jiang Yu submitted his song, he'd told him he wanted to bring a rap track. Director Hu was a bit surprised. After all, he'd never seen Jiang Yu rap before. The short segment in "Fireworks Cool Easily" was just a short rap insert. He'd never seen Jiang Yu rap a full rap track before.

At this moment, Song Yuqing was standing on the stage, feeling a little excited, as this was the first time she and her brother would perform together on stage.

When her brother sent her the song and told her she had to sing the female part, she was so excited that she almost fell asleep. She practiced privately for a long time and even sent her brother many videos of herself singing. Today, she finally got to perform on the same stage with her brother.

The host smiled and nodded at Song Yuqing who was already prepared.

"Now, please welcome our mentor Jiang Yu!"

The next moment, the lights dimmed, and after a few seconds of silence, the lights came on again. Jiang Yu appeared on the stage, wearing dark clothes and holding a microphone, and music slowly sounded.

Song Title: The Seventh Chapter of the Night

Singer: Jiang Yu/Song Yuqing

Lyricist: Jiang Yu

Composer: Jiang Yu..."

When the music started, everyone was slightly stunned and a little curious when they saw the song information brought by Jiang Yu displayed on the big screen.

"The Seventh Chapter of Night..."

When everyone saw the title of this song, they were a little confused. It was such a strange title.

However, listening to the prelude of this song inexplicably gives people a sense of suspense and horror, as if listening to the prelude of this song, you are suddenly brought into a weird and mysterious world, and a sense of suspense comes over you.

"Dengdengdeng..."

Then came the sound of the cello, melodious and deep, with a bit of weirdness, which made many viewers feel a little creepy.

Shen Hongyu suddenly felt amazed.

"Is this... a dark style of song?"

The song sung by Jiang Yu gives people the feeling of a dark song.

Not only him, but even Wu Tao and Liu Huayu were stunned. This prelude and this style really felt like the Dark Series.

and……

They, as well as many other viewers, felt that listening to the prelude of Jiang Yu's song seemed to have a retro feel, as if they had traveled back to medieval Europe.

Gradually, the prelude became urgent, as if a sense of crisis was coming.

Jiang Yu and Song Yuqing were standing on the stage. The lights were a little dim. Only when Jiang Yu raised the microphone did a spotlight shine on him.

"1983 Alley

sunny in december

Chapter VII of the night

The typewriter continues to push

The next line is closer to the truth

Heather pipe fog
Floating towards the withered tree
Crying to me in silence..."

As soon as Jiang Yu opened his mouth, the expressions of the people at the scene instantly changed from confusion to surprise and excitement, and even a little shock after hearing Gao Jiangyu's singing!
"Oh my god! It's rap! Jiang Yu actually brought a rap song!"

Some audience members exclaimed, their expressions filled with uncontrollable shock and excitement.

"Holy crap! It's really rap! Jiang Yu is actually rapping?!"

"Oh my god! It was just a short snippet before, but today he actually brought a completely new rap song. Is Jiang Yu going to fight back against what Wu Tao and the others said about him?"

"That's true. I think it's very likely. Wu Tao was there too, and he was performing a rap song before Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu was just right in front of him and opened up!"

"Hiss! Jiang Yu's rap is really quite impressive, just like that little segment in Fireworks Cool Easily. It's completely different from the popular rap on the market. It's like a breath of fresh air."

……

Even the students were stunned at this moment, especially Yang Zihan and Lin Feifei, who were in Jiang Yu's group. They stared at their mentor on the stage, each of them gaping in astonishment. Lin Feifei, after being stunned, was filled with surprise and excitement. Pulling Yang Zihan aside, she spoke excitedly.

"Ahhh! Zihan, did you see that? Teacher Jiang Yu actually brought a rap song! A rap song!"

“It sounds so good!”

There was some surprise and joy in Yang Zihan's beautiful eyes at this moment. Teacher Jiang Yu actually brought a rap song.

She glanced at Teacher Wu Tao who had a cold face over there. Is Teacher Jiang Yu going to fight back?

Shen Hongyu was also surprised at this moment. Jiang Yu said that he would bring a rap song this time, and he really brought it.

and……

Jiang Yu's rap is really completely different from the popular rap songs on the market by Wu Tao and others. There is no shouting or electronic music, and the lyrics and music are also extremely well written.

Even listening to Jiang Yu's song gives people a sense of suspense, as if watching a suspense film.

"The Circus next to Baker Street
Armor knight arm
The emblem of iris shimmers
The sound of an unmanned carriage
late night visit

Evil in Victoria's Moonlight

A bloody opening..."

Everyone was listening to Jiang Yu's song and his rap, and they were all shocked. No, they were amazed by Jiang Yu's rap.

Jiang Yu truly delivered a complete rap song, and everyone listening to his rapping felt that he had a solid foundation. Although it was different from the popular rap on the market, it sounded like a breath of fresh air to everyone, and was particularly catchy and beautiful.

Even listening to Jiang Yu's song, everyone felt that the lyrics and music gave people a medieval retro feeling, as well as a strong sense of suspense. With a deep dark atmosphere, everyone felt that it was a very tense yet novel experience.
