How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 228 A good start

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the day when the first episode of "Star of Tomorrow" is broadcast.

After the second episode wrapped, Penguin Video and the production team officially announced the show's release date. Initially, this talent show garnered significant attention due to its lineup of mentors. Not to mention incredibly popular mentors like Song Yuqing and Wu Tao, Jiang Yu alone sparked significant discussion.

It can be said that Jiang Yu’s current popularity and fame are even higher than those of Wu Tao and other so-called top domestic stars.

In addition, several other mentors are well-known singers in China, especially Song Yuqing, who has a close relationship with Jiang Yu. The two of them recorded the show together. During this period, it has already sparked a heated discussion online, and many netizens are gossiping.

This program has just been scheduled, and when the first episode was aired, it was very popular.

"I finally waited until this show aired. This show has been tempting me since it was officially announced. I want to see if it's any good."

"Haha, I've also been waiting for this talent show. I don't care about the students. I mainly want to see Jiang Yu and Song Yuqing."

"Ahhh! Husband Wu Tao, I'm coming!"

"It's finally airing. I saw the list of trainees released on the official account of the program a few days ago, as well as some promotional videos. I feel like the trainees are generally very good-looking."

"You're talking nonsense! This is a talent show. You want to be a star, so you have to have good looks."

……

When the show first aired, many viewers were definitely attracted by the five mentors. Although it's a talent show, the trainees are the main focus. However, when the show first started, no one knew the trainees, so most of the people who came to watch the show were definitely fans of the mentors.

And when everyone saw the students starting to perform on stage one by one, they gradually got to know these students.

Looking at these students, especially when everyone saw Huang Chen drinking and going on stage, and what he said to Jiang Yu and others, they couldn't help laughing.

"Wow! They're all living stars!"

"Have you ever seen someone die?"

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

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help laughing, and suddenly they also felt that this ordinary-looking, somewhat shy and socially anxious amateur student was quite interesting. And after hearing Huang Chen's subsequent performance, which was an original song, many audience members seemed to like it.

"This Huang Chen seems to be quite capable."

"Indeed, I saw that all the students before were covers, and there were very few students who brought original songs. He is still an amateur, but his singing skills are surprisingly good. I feel that the songs he wrote are very close to life and very vivid."

"I think he should choose Jiang Yu's group. After all, Jiang Yu is the best at original creation."

……

With the end of Huang Chen's performance, although he has an ordinary appearance and his performance in this episode was not that eye-catching, he still made a presence in front of the audience and everyone had some impression of him.

Afterwards, with the appearance of the two beautiful students Yang Zihan and Lin Feifei, the barrage of comments was boiling.

"Oh my god! It's so beautiful!"

"Wow! This Lin Feifei is so sexy! She and another female student, Yang Zihan, are both so beautiful!"

"Haha, Wu Tao and Jiang Yu are starting to fight over the beautiful students, tsk tsk."

"She's good-looking and has good basic skills. If I were a mentor, I'd grab her. Speaking of looks, being a star is a natural advantage."

……

The two beautiful students, Yang Zihan and Lin Feifei, are not only strong in ability but also beautiful in appearance, which has already made the audience remember them. Although most of the people watching this kind of talent show are girls, beautiful young ladies are not only attractive to men, but also to women.

Among them, in addition to the students' performances, many viewers focused their attention on Jiang Yu and Song Yuqing when watching the first episode.

Since the beginning of this episode, there have been many shots of Jiang Yu and Song Yuqing together, either alone or together. And just like in her previous appearances on "Walking and Singing," Song Yuqing is very attached to Jiang Yu, always looking at him first no matter what she's doing or asking a question. Jiang Yu's interactions with Song Yuqing are also quite amusing, and he even enjoys teasing his younger sister, which makes everyone smile.

"Ahhh! What should I do? I really think Jiang Yu and Sister Yuqing are so sweet."

"Indeed, the two of them are so pleasing to the eye together, and their interactions are so funny, haha, especially when Jiang Yu teases Yu Qing. Yu Qing's reaction is so adorable. Woo woo woo, please, God, give me a sweet and lovely girlfriend like this."

"Wake up, girl in front. You can't hold on to a girlfriend like Sister Yuqing, so I'm the only one who can do it."

"But I have to say, Jiang Yu and Sister Yuqing are really a good match."

"This guy seems to have a CP feeling with everyone. It was like this with Su Muwan before, Yang Xue too, and it was the same when he was interacting with Yuqing sister this time. Damn! Why can't I be Jiang Yu?"

……

Everyone watched the interaction between Jiang Yu and Song Yuqing, especially when they were fighting for someone. The sweet and lovely Yuqing sister was also the best. Although she was aggressive, she was really soft and cute when she spoke. Many male fans called her so cute, and they asked for a girlfriend like her.

When Zhao Ying came on stage, the moment everyone saw this plainly dressed girl, they subconsciously realized that she was probably an amateur student.

But when Zhao Ying opened her mouth, her voice was so bright that it instantly made people's eyes light up.

"This Zhao Ying has a great voice."

"But I'm just too nervous. What kind of song is this?"

Everyone looked at Zhao Ying's nervous expression. Although her voice was good, the singing was not satisfactory.

When they saw Wu Tao and others interrupting Zhao Ying's performance and what they said, many viewers frowned slightly.

This directly interrupts the students' performance, isn't that a bad idea?
And they didn't give them any chances at all. Previously, students who made mistakes were given a chance to perform again. Although Zhao Ying's performance was truly terrible, they gave other students a chance before, but Zhao Ying didn't get one. Isn't that unfair?

"Huh? It's over like this. I think Zhao Ying's voice is pretty good. She's just too nervous."

"Yeah, Wu Tao and the others interrupted the performance directly. It felt a bit disrespectful to the students. Besides, there were students who had to start over before. Why not give Zhao Ying another chance?"

"Tsk, what do you know? Our Wu Tao is the instructor, he's the professional. Zhao Ying's performance was so poor and she was so nervous. Even if we start over, it will be the same. There's no need to waste time at all."

"That's right, looking at her like that, she's obviously extremely nervous. Even if we give her another chance, she'll still be like this. Are you the instructors or is our Wu Tao the instructor?" "Huh? Jiang Yu actually gave her a chance?!"

……

Everyone looked at Zhao Ying's nervous expression, her beautiful face filled with bewilderment. Her eyes instantly reddened at Wu Tao's words. Her delicate and frail appearance was so heartbreaking that not only the boys but even the girls felt a little distressed.

Especially since some students had a second chance before, but when it came to Zhao Ying, they didn't give her a chance just because she was too nervous and they felt she couldn't adjust?

But the next moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Jiang Yu offer to help.

When Zhao Ying adjusted herself and spoke again, she instantly amazed everyone.

"Oh my god! This time the effect is obviously better than before!"

"Yeah, I was too nervous just now. I think her voice is pretty good, but it was nervousness that caused her to not perform well. Now it's obviously much better."

"We almost missed out on such a great student. Wu Tao too, why are you so anxious?"

"Now it seems that Jiang Yu is a pretty good person."

"Of course. I've always felt that although Jiang Yu is a bit fickle, he's a really good person."

……

Later, when everyone learned about Zhao Ying's family situation, they felt sympathy for this 20-year-old girl.

Suddenly everyone felt that what Wu Tao had done just now was really too much. He didn't give any chance at all. The previous students all had a chance to try again, but Zhao Ying didn't?

Moreover, coming to this show was her only lifeline, and it was almost ruined by Wu Tao.

All of a sudden, many viewers started to criticize in the barrage.

"Luckily Jiang Yu is here, otherwise if Wu Tao had just done that, we would have missed out on such a valuable student."

"Yeah, I saw that the other students had second chances, but Wu Tao didn't give them any chances at all. Look at this second performance. Although it also had some flaws due to nervousness, it was obviously much better than the last time."

"I'm not a professional, but I can tell that Zhao Ying has a very good voice and is very suitable to be a singer."

"Alas, I feel that Teacher Jiang Yu did this because he must have seen his own reflection in Zhao Ying. He had been caught in the rain himself, so he also wanted to hold an umbrella for others. After all, Teacher Jiang Yu's life experience is also..."

……

At this moment, many viewers were complaining about Wu Tao's behavior on the barrage. Then Wu Tao's fans stood up to speak for their idol and started arguing on the barrage.

As the first episode came to an end, when everyone heard Director Hu introduce the rules of the next episode and heard the mentors perform, the audience began to look forward to it.

"Hmm? There will be a performance by the instructors in the next episode. Wow, that will be something to watch."

"You mentioned the next mentor performance. Jiang Yu and Wu Tao have a feud. Wu Tao previously publicly implicated him in posts with those rappers. Wu Tao's performance next episode will definitely be rap. Will Jiang Yu also perform a rap song to clear his name?"

"Don't say that, don't say that, I think it's really possible. Wu Tao and the others previously ridiculed Jiang Yu for not knowing how to rap and not having a complete rap song. If that's true, maybe Jiang Yu will really bring a rap song in the next episode."

"No way? I feel like even if Jiang Yu really brings a rap song, it won't be as good as Wu Tao's. Wu Tao is the number one rapper in China, can Jiang Yu do it? He was highly praised by his fans before, but from beginning to end, apart from the short rap in "Fireworks Cool Easily", I haven't seen any rap works from him. And that rap, to me, is like reading a textbook, bland and boring."

……

Many viewers are looking forward to the next episode after seeing the mentors perform. As everyone knows, Wu Tao and Jiang Yu have a grudge against each other, especially in the field of rap, and everyone wants to see whether Jiang Yu will respond to the ridicule and connotations that Wu Tao and other rappers have made towards him in the next episode.

With the end of this episode, the hot search tonight was directly dominated by the program "Star of Tomorrow".

"Rising Star is on air!"

"Jiang Yu and Song Yuqing!"

"Jiang Yu and Wu Tao on the same stage!"

"The beautiful student who is the rising star!"

"Jiang Yu is so warm-hearted!"

……

At this moment, Director Hu from the program team no longer cares about the hot searches. Penguin has mobilized so many resources for publicity, and the invited guests are all popular artists. If it doesn't dominate the hot searches, it would be really unreasonable.

What he cares about most now is the results of tonight's premiere.

Although there is no 24-hour broadcast yet, the initial performance can be used to predict the final performance of the first broadcast. It can also be used to estimate whether this program will be successful.

"One hundred and thirty million views!"

Director Hu was immediately delighted when he saw the results. This premiere had done quite well. And this was just after the show had aired for three hours. According to estimates, Director Hu felt that the premiere's revenue would definitely exceed 200 million within 24 hours.

The premiere exceeded 200 million, wow, I have only seen such a grand occasion during the premiere of "Singer" before.

"Haha, it seems that this show is still very successful."

This result is definitely the biggest hit variety show of the year. Although Director Hu also knows that such a good result is inseparable from the resources and promotion of Penguin, it is even more inseparable from super popular mentors like Jiang Yu.

But regardless, this is what their show has achieved.

Director Hu also took a look online and found that their talent show had a pretty good reputation. It was both critically acclaimed and commercially successful. He even noticed that some contestants' Weibo accounts saw a surge in followers after the first episode aired.

Especially Lin Feifei and Yang Zihan, the two beautiful students in Jiang Yu's group. Not long after tonight's show was broadcast, they already had more than 50,000 fans on Weibo.

"It seems like a good start."
