How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 244 Heavy Snow Falls on the Mohe River

On the stage, when everyone saw Jiang Yu and Su Muwan both coming on stage, they were all stunned.

This was clearly Jiang Yu's performance, and Su Muwan's performance was still to come, so why did these two of them go on stage together?
The guests and audience at the scene were all confused, even the audience watching the live broadcast online.

"Huh? I saw on the list that Jiang Yu's performance is not on it? Why is Su Muwan also going up?"

"Tsk, what nonsense are you talking about? It's obvious that Jiang Yu and Su Muwan are singing a song together."

"Oh my gosh! Jiang Yu and Su Muwan are singing a song together, and it's a rap song. I'm really looking forward to it."

"If I remember correctly, Jiang Yu and Su Muwan haven't sung a duet together before. Jiang Yu sang a song with Yang Xue and Song Yuqing before. This time it's finally Su Muwan's turn."

"Tsk tsk, you know what, Jiang Yu's face seems to match anyone. When he's with Su Muwan, I think they're a good match. When he's with Yang Xue and Song Yuqing, I think they're a good match again."

"Mountain and River Map," judging by the title, it seems to be a Chinese-style rap song, unlike Jiang Yu's previous song, The Seventh Chapter of the Night, which has many Western elements."

……

Lin Qianqian was listening to the song "Mountain and River Map" sung by Jiang Yu at this moment. In the prelude music, there seemed to be a guzheng being played, which was sonorous and powerful. The whole song had many Chinese elements.

"It seems that we really need to respond to what happened before."

A few days ago, Wu Tao and others implied that Jiang Yu's previous song "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" was criticized by netizens for being pro-Western and full of Western elements, and was intended to deliberately please the Western public.

But today, Jiang Yu directly brought a very typical rap song. Just by looking at the title and the prelude, you can feel that it has a strong Chinese culture. He wanted to let Wu Tao and those people see what rap is and what innovation is!

It would be the saddest thing if a singer or a creator is limited to a certain type of music, or even dares not to innovate or integrate for various reasons.

In Lin Qianqian's view, music knows no borders. Even the media advocates for embracing diverse cultures, learning from the good and discarding the bad. Lin Qianqian felt that Jiang Yu's previous song, "The Seventh Chapter of the Night," was flawless. It truly blended Chinese and Western music, creating a whole new musical path.

Crucially, Jiang Yu's song "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" was a hit not only in China but also abroad. This proved that Jiang Yu was on the right track and had truly taken Chinese music to the global stage. She felt that Jiang Yu's actions, his actions, and his achievements far surpassed those of some celebrities who merely shouted slogans to bring Chinese music to the world.

At least Jiang Yu really did it, allowing more people to listen to Chinese music and allowing people abroad to recognize Chinese music.

Lin Qianqian was also looking forward to the new song "Mountain and River Map". Most importantly, this rap song was sung with Su Muwan. This reminded Lin Qianqian of the song "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" that Jiang Yu and Song Yuqing had sung together during their mentor performance on "Star of Tomorrow".

"This Mountain and River Map shouldn't be bad either."

Putting aside Jiang Yu's creative talent, the songs sung by these two superstars, Jiang Yu and Su Muwan, will definitely be an extreme auditory enjoyment.

At this moment in the live broadcast, with the end of the prelude, Jiang Yu was the first to pick up the microphone and speak.

"Look at these mountains, valleys, and rocks
One river after another

Let this river star run wild

One bay after another

This picture is about the dancing phoenix and the phoenix

The mountains are too high to climb..."

Listening to Jiang Yu's rap, everyone was instantly overwhelmed by a sense of power and penetration. It felt as if it had captured their ears. Crucially, Jiang Yu's rap wasn't like other rappers incorporating a lot of electronic music elements. It was simple and pure, not noisy or loud, but clean.

This is also the reason why Jiang Yu's rap is so unique and so appealing to people. Compared to Jiang Yu's, the songs of rappers like Wu Tao seem much louder, and the lyrics and music don't seem as high-brow as Jiang Yu's.

The key is……

Besides listening to Jiang Yu's vocals, everyone was also savoring the lyrics for "Mountain and River Map," which he wrote. The song's wording and phrasing were completely different from Jiang Yu's previous rap, "The Seventh Chapter of the Night." The lyrics were imbued with a strong Chinese flavor, making it a rap song steeped in Chinese culture.

"To the highest point, Shigatse

Standing on the Himalayas

Heavy snow in the easternmost part

Heavy snow falls on the Mohe River

Recalling the War Smoke at the Westernmost Point

The wind swirls around Kashgar

To the southernmost blue sea and sky

The dragon rises from the sea and the waves surge to the sky..."

On the stage, as the songs were performed, scenes of China's beautiful landscape appeared on the big screen behind them. The dazzling and towering mountain peaks, the rippling blue sea, the snow-covered Northeast, and the sunset in the desert...

One picture after another constructs the beautiful mountains and rivers of China, showing the splendid mountains and rivers on the vast land of China!

When everyone saw the magnificent and beautiful mountains and rivers, they all felt an inexplicable sense of pride. It was the pride of being Chinese, the pride of being the descendants of the Chinese nation!

This is my country, this is the land beneath our feet, the place where I was born and raised!

This is one of the few countries in the world that has such vast and spectacular land!
We don’t have to go abroad to see such colorful and magnificent scenery. These are the mountains and rivers of our own country, our beautiful mountains and rivers!

For a moment, everyone's heartbeats seemed to speed up a lot. The sense of pride seemed to grow stronger with the song, and their blood seemed to be boiling!

"I paint my mountains and rivers with my brush

Jianfeng Qianren painted this majestic
The surging river flows like a dragon
I will paint my China with my unwavering passion..."

After Jiang Yu finished singing, Su Muwan picked up the microphone and started singing.

The singing is majestic and powerful, as majestic as the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland!
These lyrics seem to echo in everyone's heart, sonorous and powerful, as if telling everyone, this is the beautiful land of China, this is my motherland!

Especially when Jiang Yu was singing, Su Muwan was holding the microphone and singing harmony. The majestic high notes seemed to have great penetrating power, and the sense of pride became more and more intense.

At this moment, many audiences under the stage were fascinated by the song, especially some elderly people, some of whom had tears in their eyes while listening to the song.

That's the pride that belongs only to the Chinese people, a feeling deep in the bones of the Chinese people! At this moment on Blueberry Channel, Wu Tao's performance had already ended, and he was watching the live broadcast of the CCTV Lantern Festival Gala on his phone backstage. Now, watching Jiang Yu's rap song "Mountain and River Map" sung with Su Muwan, his eyes flickered slightly, and he felt a little nervous and worried for no reason.

Wu Tao was also very impressed with Jiang Yu's creative ability and talent. He had originally thought that he had specially prepared a rap song with a strong Chinese cultural influence, which was very suitable for the Lantern Festival. Furthermore, Jiang Yu's previous song, "The Seventh Chapter of the Night," had too many Western elements, leading many netizens to accuse him of being Westernized. All these factors made him feel that he could win over Jiang Yu this time.

but now……

After seeing Jiang Yu's performance on stage and his duet with Su Muwan, "Mountain and River Map," Wu Tao's initial confidence seemed to have faded a bit. In his heart, he was no longer completely sure that he could beat Jiang Yu.

"No, no, I should be able to win. My new song is not bad either. There's no way I'm going to lose so easily."

Wu Tao thought so in his heart, but he still didn't feel confident.

……

Song Yuqing's performance also ended early, and she was currently watching the live broadcast of the CCTV Lantern Festival Gala in the hotel. She didn't like watching these shows, but since her brother was performing, she was waiting for him.

But at this moment, our sister Yuqing was watching her brother and Su Muwan on the same stage. Especially when the two of them sang a song together, they would look at each other from time to time, and the smile in Su Muwan's eyes was full of pride in the little girl's eyes.

Even sister Yuqing felt that when Su Muwan looked at the camera, her eyes seemed to be showing off to her that she was on the same stage with her brother and sang a new song together.

The little girl suddenly felt unhappy, and she pouted and hummed.

"Huh, brother is really something. He didn't even ask me to help with the chorus."

If my brother asked me, I would definitely cancel the Lantern Festival Gala here and go to CCTV to help. Now, looking at Su Muwan on the stage with her brother, the little girl felt angry for no reason.

This woman, really, must have used some tricks to get her brother to ask her to sing a duet.

……

Right now, I’m backstage at the Mango TV Lantern Festival Gala.

Yang Xue had just finished her performance and was sitting in her own lounge watching the CCTV live broadcast. When she saw Jiang Yu and Su Muwan singing together, she frowned slightly.

This bastard, why did he ask Su Muwan to sing a song together?
Yang Xue cursed the bastard in her heart and didn't want to watch the show, but she couldn't help her curiosity. After turning it off, she turned on her phone again and watched the live broadcast of the Lantern Festival Gala on CCTV, watching Jiang Yu and Su Muwan flirting with each other on the stage.

"asshole!"

Yang Xue couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she quit the live broadcast and turned off her phone.

This guy is doing this on purpose. If he wants to find someone to sing a duet with, why not find me? Even if I want to participate in the Lantern Festival Gala on Mango TV, I can just turn it down if you tell me.

Humph, this bastard just wants Su Muwan to be with him, haha, man...

……

On CCTV, Jiang Yu and Su Muwan's performance ended. When the song ended, the audience suddenly erupted in thunderous applause.

It is rare to see a rapper on the stage of CCTV, let alone a rap song.

But today, because of Jiang Yu and his new song "Map of Mountains and Rivers", this precedent has been broken for the first time.

Even the director of the Lantern Festival Gala backstage, and the CCTV executives sitting in the front row, were a bit surprised. They had always been interested in rap, but they felt that domestic rap was simply not up to par. Even though it had become quite popular in the past two years, in their eyes, it was still something that couldn't be seen in public, something that wasn't presentable.

Not to mention many rap songs, which really have no quality or nutrition. It can even be said that some of the lyrics are even disgusting and vulgar. There are also some rappers who have problems.

This is also the reason why, for such a long time, there are very few rappers appearing on CCTV, and even rap songs have never been broadcast on CCTV.

When Jiang Yu was invited to participate in this year's Lantern Festival Gala, and Jiang Yu said he wanted to perform a rap song, the leaders were a little hesitant. But when they saw the song Jiang Yu sent, they immediately decided to go for it.

It’s not just because Jiang Yu’s “Mountain and River Map” is well written and has a strong sense of Chinese culture and human geography, but also because they believe in Jiang Yu.

"Haha, Xiao Jiang's painting of mountains and rivers is really good, very good!"

A leader spoke with a smile, and everyone looked at Jiang Yu as he walked off the stage, their eyes filled with satisfaction. Especially when they saw Jiang Yu and Su Muwan walking together, their eyes were filled with gossip, and they whispered to each other.

"I heard that Xiao Jiang and Xiao Su were boyfriend and girlfriend before, what about now?"

"I'm not sure. As for Xiao Jiang, I think everything is really good except for the relationship."

"Yeah, haha, but I can understand it, young people after all."

Being fickle is a common habit for all men. Who doesn’t have a few exes when they were young?
This shortcoming seemed nothing compared to Jiang Yu's many advantages. What's more, men understand and know men best, as they've all been there.

As Jiang Yu's performance ended, Jiang Yu's performance at the CCTV Lantern Festival Gala tonight also became a hot topic on the Internet.

"Jiang Yu Lantern Festival Gala Stage!"

"Jiang Yu and Su Muwan sang a new song together!"

"Jiang Yu Mountain and River Map!"

“Yu Yu’s rap is so good!”

"Jiang Yu and Su Muwan are so sweet!"

"Comparison of Jiang Yu and Wu Tao's new songs from the Lantern Festival Gala!"

"Who dares to accuse Jiang Yu of being a Westerner?"

……

Entries like this are high on the hot search list. In addition to those related to Jiang Yu's new song and his duet with Su Muwan, there is also a comparison between Jiang Yu's new rap song tonight and Wu Tao's new rap song tonight.

Everyone knew that Jiang Yu was responding to the implications of Wu Tao and the others' previous counterattacks. Both of them had performed new rap songs at the Lantern Festival Gala, and their styles were similar. Both were rap, and both had a strong Chinese flavor.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere became tense again.

What will be the result this time?
