How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 230: Breaking new ground!
When the audience watched Jiang Yu's performance as a mentor and listened to his rap song "The Seventh Chapter of the Night", they were all shocked.

Everyone knows that this song is Jiang Yu’s first complete rap song, which can be regarded as his rap debut.

But it was this first show, this first rap performance, and the first rap song that shocked everyone at the scene.

"Is this... is this really Jiang Yu's first rap song? This quality completely crushes Wu Tao's and all the other rap songs on the market!"

"Indeed, not to mention the quality of the songs, Jiang Yu's songwriting talent is truly top-notch. What shocked me the most was Jiang Yu's rap, it was absolutely amazing, it didn't sound like it was his first time rapping at all."

"And have you noticed? Whether it's the short rap segment Jiang Yu added to "Fireworks Cool Easily" or this full rap song, Jiang Yu's rap is completely different from Wu Tao and the others, or the popular rap on the market. There's no random shouting or screaming, and no electronic music elements. I'm not even talking about the quality of the song, but I really like Jiang Yu's clean singing style."

"Really? I didn't like rap before. I thought it was too noisy, full of yelling and the songs weren't very nutritious. But after hearing Jiang Yu's song, I realized that rap can be sung this way. It's clean and not noisy or vulgar. In my heart, I actually like Jiang Yu's rap better."

"I saw Jiang Yu's rap in the song 'Fireworks Cool Easily' being hyped up by his fans. They said it was much better than any other rap on the market. I didn't believe it at first. But after watching Jiang Yu's performance today, I think they were right. Jiang Yu's rap is really good!"

……

This time, the audience was amazed after watching Jiang Yu's performance and listening to his rap song "The Seventh Chapter of the Night".

Many people were originally looking forward to Jiang Yu performing a rap song in this episode to clear his name and fight back against Wu Tao and others.

Jiang Yu actually did so, and the quality of "Night's Seventh Chapter" was truly high. Crucially, everyone who listened to Jiang Yu's rap really liked it. They found it clean, unlike the chaotic, brain-wrenching rap that's out there.

At this moment, everyone realized that rap can be played like this.

There is no need for messy, vulgar lyrics, no need for electronic music elements, and no need for singers to shout and scream as if they are competing to see who has the loudest voice.

Just like Jiang Yu, his voice is clean and no one feels it is noisy, but rather pleasant to the ear.

At that moment, everyone's attention was basically drawn to Jiang Yu's rap song. Many people took a long time to turn their attention back to the show.

At this moment, after the mentors' performances, the mentors' stage performances became a hot search topic. In particular, Jiang Yu's rap song tonight and the incidents between him and rappers like Wu Tao were once again brought up and became a hot search topic.

"Tomorrow's Star Mentor Stage!"

"Jiang Yu's new rap song debut!"

"Jiang Yuye's seventh chapter!"

"Jiang Yu and Song Yuqing's collaborative stage!"

"Wu Tao raps a new song!"

"Jiang Yu Wu Tao!"

“That’s called rap!”

"Jiang Yu's new rap song breaks new ground!"

……

All of a sudden, the second episode of "Rising Star," which was updated tonight, hadn't even finished airing yet, but it was already trending on the Internet because of the mentors' performances. Many people saw Jiang Yu's rap song on the show, and after seeing the video clip, more and more people knew about Jiang Yu's new song.

At the same time, the new song that Jiang Yu and Wu Tao will perform tonight was also released online with the broadcast of the program.

Jiang Yu was already very popular, and he directly topped the new song list, while Wu Tao followed closely behind in second place.

At this moment, netizens are also discussing the differences between Jiang Yu's rap songs and popular rap songs such as Wu Tao.

"I just listened to Jiang Yu and Wu Tao's new rap song. How should I put it? I personally don't like listening to rap, but this time I fell in love with Jiang Yu's rap song "Night's Seventh Chapter."

"Jiang Yu's rap is completely different from Wu Tao and other popular rap styles. I think Jiang Yu's rap is like a stream of pure energy, clean and quiet. Hmm... how do you put it? Elegant, yes, very elegant. In comparison, the rap songs of rappers like Wu Tao, as well as the rap songs left on the market, seem a bit inferior."

"Holy crap! Rap can be played like this?! I used to prefer listening to rap, but after hearing Jiang Yu's rap today, I realized that rap can be played like this!"

"Have you noticed that Jiang Yu's "Night Chapter 7" has a different feel from his other songs? His previous songs were a fusion of ancient and modern, but Jiang Yu's song gives me the feeling of a combination of Chinese and Western styles."

"Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly the feeling. I have the same feeling. Listening to Jiang Yu's "Night Chapter 7," I feel a medieval chorus in it. It's very strange, full of suspense and darkness. And looking at the lyrics, it seems like Jiang Yu wrote a song inspired by Sherlock Holmes. It's amazing!"

……

At this moment, Su Muwan, after watching the show, listened to Jiang Yu's "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" again. Even the released version was a duet with Song Yuqing, but at this moment, Su Muwan's mind ignored Song Yuqing. She was a little shocked by Jiang Yu's first rap song.

“This guy is actually good at rapping.”

Su Muwan had never seen Jiang Yu release a song like this before, and she herself didn't like rap music. It wasn't for any other reason, but simply because she felt the rap music on the market was too loud, and some of it was simply meaningless and vulgar. More importantly, as someone who was in the entertainment industry, Su Muwan knew a few people in the rap community, and most of them weren't very good.

This is also why domestic rap is called underground rap.

But today, Su Muwan was a little moved by the song sung by that bastard Jiang Yu. It was the first time she liked listening to a rap song.

It was not just her, Yang Xue was the same as well. After watching the show, Yang Xue opened the music software and listened to Jiang Yu's "The Seventh Chapter of the Night". She was also a little surprised.

This guy can actually rap!
The song is really good, but...

Listening to Song Yuqing's singing voice, Yang Xue curled her lips. "It's just these few lyrics, I can do it too."

But this bastard didn't look for her, but went to find the little devil Song Yuqing!

Hehe, man...

……

At the moment, online, Jiang Yu's rap debut song is receiving quite a bit of praise. In particular, shortly after the second episode of "Rising Star" aired tonight, renowned music blogger Lin Qianqian posted a video review of Jiang Yu's "The Seventh Chapter of the Night."

"Hello everyone, I'm Qianqian. I believe you've all listened to the seventh episode of Mr. Jiang Yu's rap new song night. So today, let's follow Qianqian to talk about Mr. Jiang Yu's rap debut new song..."

In the video, Lin Qianqian didn't deliberately change into sexy clothes. It was winter, and even though she had air conditioning at home, she was too lazy to move. She just recorded the video in plush pajamas. Her face was still not shown, but her voice was a benefit for many voice control.

"I believe that everyone, like me, is hearing a complete rap song from Teacher Jiang Yu for the first time. It can be said that Teacher Jiang Yu's "Night's Seventh Chapter" truly amazed me. It's hard to believe that Teacher Jiang Yu's first rap song is of such high quality. You should also have noticed that this song is completely different from Teacher Jiang Yu's previous songs. It gives people a sense of medieval retro and a strong sense of suspense. Hmm... it also has a bit of a dark style. In terms of the lyrics, I think Teacher Jiang Yu may have been inspired by Sherlock Holmes..."

"The whole song perfectly blends Chinese rap and Western music. I think Mr. Jiang Yu's musical talent and attainments are very high. His previous songs like "Blue and White Porcelain" are a fusion of ancient and modern music, but this "Seventh Chapter of the Night" has a different style and takes a different approach, combining Chinese and Western elements..."

Lin Qianqian analyzed very carefully, and even at the end of the conversation, her tone became excited.

"I think Mr. Jiang Yu's "Night Chapter 7" is another groundbreaking work, pioneering the integration of Chinese and Western music!"

"This is different from those singers who sing English songs. That doesn't count as a fusion of Chinese and Western music. Teacher Jiang Yu is the true fusion of Chinese and Western music!"

"Also, I feel like Mr. Jiang Yu's rap is a breath of fresh air, completely different from the popular rap songs on the market. I personally don't like listening to rap. But Mr. Jiang Yu's rap is the only one I can listen to and I think it's very nice. It was also the first time I discovered that rap doesn't need to be all shouting and screaming, or add some messy electronic music or something like that. As long as the lyrics are not vulgar, you can still play rap..."

Lin Qianqian's video is not long, only about seven or eight minutes, but after it was released, it soon became one of the hot lists on the short video platform.

Many people thought Lin Qianqian’s analysis made sense after hearing it.

"Indeed, I had that feeling when I listened to Jiang Yu's "The Seventh Chapter of the Night." He really combined Chinese and Western music together!"

"Yes, Jiang Yu's talent is truly unparalleled. He used to combine ancient and modern music, but now, while others are still imitating his style, he has already gone international and started to integrate Chinese and Western music. The combination of Chinese rap and Western music is truly amazing!"

"This is what rap is, clean and simple. What the hell is that rap from Wu Tao and the others?"

……

At this moment, Wu Tao was on the second episode of the show tonight. He had finished his training at the training camp that evening and returned to the hotel. He had also seen the news online, especially after seeing that his rap song was now directly behind Jiang Yu's rap song, Wu Tao suddenly felt a surge of anger.

The key point is that he originally thought that Jiang Yu's unique songs, although of good quality, would be critically acclaimed but not commercially successful. After all, the mainstream rap on the market is like his, not Jiang Yu's kind of rap.

As a result, Jiang Yu’s song “The Seventh Chapter of the Night” not only has a good reputation, but also has very good data.

This was something Wu Tao couldn't accept. He knew Jiang Yu's songs were good and well-received, but wouldn't the public dislike this guy's unique style of rap music?

Isn’t their rap the kind that the public likes and is popular in the market?

Why do I like Jiang Yu's rap song so much now?

Wu Tao was a little confused about this.

Although rap is relatively niche compared to mainstream music in China and not widely accepted, it still has a lot of fans. Especially in the past two years, after I expanded the market, it has attracted many young people and I am hailed as the number one rapper in China.

As a result, now, this guy Jiang Yu, his first rap song actually beat me?

Wu Tao was feeling a bit lost. It was already past eleven o'clock, and messages kept popping up on his phone. Many of his friends and other rappers in the group were sending him messages.

"Brother Tao, what's going on? This guy Jiang Yu actually released a rap song?"

"No way, Brother Tao, I saw his rap song was ranked ahead of yours. This is ridiculous. He actually surpassed our Brother Tao."

"Where's Brother Tao? Come out and chat. Jiang Yu's song is a slap in the face to our rap community. Brother Tao, come out and chat."

……

When Wu Tao saw these news, he felt annoyed.

Let’s chat!
What the hell are you talking about? Can’t you see that I’ve been surpassed by this guy Jiang Yu? Why do you keep tagging me? Do you want to make fun of me?

Wu Tao threw his phone aside. He felt annoyed by the sound of the message alerts that kept popping up, so he muted it.

Sitting on the sofa at this moment, Wu Tao seemed a little silent. Jiang Yu also lived on this floor. Wu Tao was wondering in his heart whether this guy was secretly laughing in his room at this moment?
The first rap song is about suppressing himself, and this guy must be very proud of it.

"no!"

Wu Tao felt that he couldn't just accept his fate like that.

"I have to get my stage back. Yes, the first episode of The Rap of China will air next week. I'll release a new song while the show is airing. I have to get my stage back!"

The third season of "The Rap of China" is already being filmed, almost simultaneously with "Rising Star." He's been essentially traveling between the two shows. However, since both programs are filmed in Hangzhou, it's quite convenient.

Wu Tao feels that the show "The Rap of China" is his home turf, and when the show is broadcast, it will definitely be very popular. He can use this opportunity to release a new song and regain his popularity!
