How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 263 The End
After listening to "Young and Promising," a new song Jiang Yu wrote for Huang Chen, Zhang Jun's eyes welled up. It wasn't just Zhang Jun; many others, like him, were overwhelmed with emotion after hearing this song.

At Lin Qianqian's house, she stared blankly at the computer screen, watching the show. Huang Chen's performance had concluded, and the mentors were commenting on him. Almost none of the five mentors had anything wrong with him. Even Shen Hongyu and the others were full of praise for Huang Chen. As for Wu Tao, although he didn't want to accept it, he knew Huang Chen's performance was indeed excellent, and the song "Young and Promising" written for him by Jiang Yu was even better.

Lin Qianqian was also slightly stunned at this moment. Looking at Huang Chen's ordinary appearance, it was hard to imagine that this ordinary-looking student, who was not optimistic from the beginning, would make it to the finals step by step. He even signed with Jiang Yu's company. Every performance of his was a surprise.

"Perhaps he will really become a rising star in the Chinese music scene in the future."

This was Lin Qianqian's thought after listening to Huang Chen's performance of "Young and Promising" in the finals. Considering Huang Chen's previous performances, he really wasn't bad. Even though he was truly ordinary-looking, in an entertainment industry filled with handsome men and beautiful women, Huang Chen was truly ordinary.

But he is not an idol. With Huang Chen's ability and the fact that he is an artist under Jiang Yu's company, he can definitely become a talented singer.

For singers, looks really aren't that important, especially for talented singers who rely entirely on their skills to make a living. Lin Qianqian knew that the senior national-level singers in China weren't handsome or beautiful; they relied entirely on their skills.

Huang Chen can definitely take this path.

At this moment, Jiang Yu was also looking at Huang Chen and spoke with a smile.

"Not bad. I performed exceptionally well today. I performed better than usual."

Huang Chen was also a little excited to receive recognition from his teacher: "Thank you, teacher!"

Huang Chen was truly grateful to his mentor. Ever since he joined the show, he'd felt a bit inferior. He wasn't handsome, and didn't have much background or connections. There were so many handsome men and beautiful women here, all from well-off families, and many even had companies.

He once wanted to give up, but teacher Jiang Yu encouraged him again and again, even signed him, and wrote a new song for him for this finals.

This made Huang Chen feel very grateful to his mentor Jiang Yu.

"Okay, then let's ask Huang Chen to go down and take a break. We'll start with the live broadcast. The online voting channel for each student has already opened. Don't forget to vote for the students online."

The host started the process, and Huang Chen received five votes. Even Wu Tao and Liu Huayu, no matter how reluctant they were, had no choice but to cast their votes for Huang Chen.

The other party performed well, and since it was Jiang Yu's song, if they didn't vote, they would definitely be cyberbullied. The most important thing was that Jiang Yu's song was indeed good, and Huang Chen performed well this episode, so they couldn't find any excuse or reason not to vote.

The next person to come on stage was Wu Tao’s ace student Wang Jie.

Wang Jie came on stage after Huang Chen, and originally he didn't take Huang Chen seriously at all.

But after watching Huang Chen's performance, Wang Jie began to feel nervous.

There's nothing I can do. This is completely unethical. The mentor is Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu, a top-notch songwriter. Huang Chen is competing with me with a song written by Jiang Yu. How the hell is this going to work?
However, although Wang Jie was complaining in his heart, he was not affected and his rap performance was still very exciting.

But there are good examples before, and everyone always feels that Wang Jie's rap is similar to Wu Tao and others, and cannot compare to Jiang Yu's rap at all. Because of Jiang Yu's previous rap songs, many people's aesthetic taste for rap songs has improved a lot.

In the end, Wang Jie only received four votes from the mentors, which meant he was one vote behind Huang Chen.

After that, the students also came on stage one after another, and the competition was quite fierce.

With the successive appearances of Yang Zihan, Lin Feifei, and Zhao Ying, the audiences on site and online were slightly shocked.

Just as everyone guessed, Jiang Yu wrote new songs for the three of them.

Yang Zihan performed "Red High Heels," Lin Feifei performed "Countdown," and Zhao Ying performed "Meeting." Three women, three different songs, all written by Jiang Yu. Together with Huang Chen's "Young and Promising," Jiang Yu now has three new songs released tonight.

Now on the Internet, before tonight’s live broadcast ends, the news that Huang, Chen and the other four will bring Jiang Yu’s new song has already been listed on the hot search list of major platforms.

It can even be said that the hot searches on major platforms tonight are basically related to the "Star of Tomorrow" finals.

On Lin Qianqian's side, the performances of Yang Zihan and the other three girls had all ended, and she was now filled with shock and emotion.

"It's really a feast for the ears tonight."

I listened to three new songs written by Jiang Yu at once. Although Jiang Yu didn't sing them himself, Yang Zihan and Huang Chen performed them very well. It can even be said that Jiang Yu writes songs based on the characteristics of the singers, and the songs and singers are highly compatible. This is why the effect is so good.

Yang Xue’s room in the hotel where the crew of “Grave Robbers’ Chronicles” stayed.

At this moment, Yang Xue was also watching the live broadcast of the finals of "Star of Tomorrow" tonight. After listening to the songs Jiang Yu wrote for those female students and Huang Chen, Yang Xue curled her lips.

This guy signed several beautiful female students with good figures. I really don’t know what this bastard was thinking. He definitely didn’t have any good intentions.

Yang Xue wasn't worried at all about Jiang Yu signing the student named Huang Chen. She even thought it was a good idea. If they were going to sign an artist, they should sign male artists. They should give an ordinary student like Huang Chen a chance.

That bastard insisted on signing female students, and signed three such beautiful, well-built, and young female students at once!
Thinking of this, Yang Xue felt a little unhappy.

But she still watched the show because she also wanted to see who the final champion would be.

Judging from the students who have performed so far, Yang Xue feels that the best performances are still the four students of that bastard Jiang Yu.

Although she didn't like Jiang Yu's three female students, Yang Xue felt that the final champion should come from Jiang Yu's group. Putting aside the strength and popularity of Huang Chen and Yang Zihan, Jiang Yu gave them four new songs today. Based on the songs Jiang Yu wrote, Yang Xue felt that the champion would most likely come from this group.

It was not just Yang Xue who felt this way. At this moment, she was at Su Muwan's house. After finishing her work these few days, she returned to Zhonghai's home to rest.

Tonight, she was watching the live broadcast of "Star of Tomorrow." Su Muwan didn't mind Jiang Yu writing a new song for Huang Chen, but she was also surprised by the fact that he had written new songs for Lin Feifei and Yang Zihan, two female students. Including the previous one, he had already written two songs for them.

This made Su Muwan feel a little uncomfortable.

But at this moment, he could only curse Jiang Yu, the bastard, in his heart.

However, as she watched the show, Su Muwan's attention was focused on it.

By this time, all the students had finished their performances. The live instructor votes were in, but the results from the live audience and online voting were still being tallied. The online channel was also closed three minutes after the last student finished their performance.

The host began to go on stage, delaying the process as much as possible while backstage tallied the votes and compiled the rankings. At this moment, Su Muwan was mentally reviewing the final winner. Because of Jiang Yu, she had watched every episode. She was also quite familiar with the fifteen contestants who remained and made it to the finals.

However, in Su Muwan's mind, the moment Jiang Yu wrote a song for Huang Chen and the others, the other groups were essentially left behind. Huang Chen and Yang Zihan were strong and popular, and with the song Jiang Yu wrote, they were practically a runner-up.

Even Su Muwan felt that this episode was more of an internal elimination round for Jiang Yu's group than the finals.

"The final champion will most likely be in this group."

Although Su Muwan doesn't like Lin Feifei and the other three girls very much, it is an indisputable fact that the three girls and Huang Chen have the highest probability of winning the championship.

At this moment, Lin Qianqian was also speculating on who would win the championship.

"It's most likely to be from Jiang Yu's group."

This was the conclusion Lin Qianqian came to after watching the performances of the students in this final.

Although the other contestants' performances were also impressive, even better than any previous elimination rounds, she felt that the four students in Jiang Yu's group were the most memorable and the best in her opinion.

Whether it was Huang Chen or Yang Zihan, they all performed very well today. With the new song Jiang Yu had written for them, Lin Qianqian felt they were completely crushing the other groups. In Lin Qianqian's opinion, the other groups were just there to make up for it.

Even the comments in the live broadcast room were discussing who would be the final champion.

"The results are being tallied backstage. Who do you think will be the final champion?"

"The specific candidates may not be clear, after all, they are all very strong, but if you ask me, the champion will definitely be among the students in Jiang Yu's group."

"I also think it must be Jiang Yu's group. There's no other way. The four students in his group are too strong and popular, especially Yang Zihan and Lin Feifei. Plus, with the songs written by Jiang Yu to support them, they are completely overwhelming."

"Yes, after watching it, I only remember Jiang Yu's group's performance. I don't remember much about the others."

"Come on, come on, I bet Jiang Yu's group will produce the champion. If I'm betting on someone, I'll bet on Zhao Ying!"

"Tsk, I bet on Yang Zihan. She's beautiful, popular, and strong. It's definitely her!"

"I, Lin Feifei, disagree!"

"What's going on? You've forgotten about Huang Chen, right? I really cried when he sang 'Young and Promising' today. It was so touching."

……

At the scene, the audience was also a little agitated, and everyone was discussing who would be the champion.

Shen Hongyu and Song Yuqing had already let it go. They both knew that with Jiang Yu around, their students would definitely not win the championship. Not to mention Jiang Yu, who among Yang Zihan and the others was weaker?
Seeing Jiang Yu's calm expression, as if he was sure of winning, Shen Hongyu also spoke with a smile.

"It seems like you're pretty confident. How about you tell me, who do you think will win the championship? Huang Chen or one of the three girls, Yang Zihan?"

Jiang Yu laughed and said, "Well, I can't really explain it."

He really couldn't explain it clearly. The final champion would be determined by a combination of on-site mentors, audience members, and online voting. There were too many variables and uncertainties involved, and he couldn't predict who would win.

However, Jiang Yu was still very confident about his group. Just as Yuqing and Shen Hongyu had said before, he also felt that the final champion would most likely come from his group.

If not, Jiang Yu felt that Yang Zihan and the others were really disappointing and even began to doubt themselves.

After waiting for about five minutes, the host gave out benefits on the spot, and online audiences could also participate.

Five minutes later, Director Hu walked onto the stage with a tablet in his hand and a smile on his face. Seeing this, the host nodded at Director Hu and gave him the center position on the stage.

Director Hu glanced around, his eyes falling on the students who were already standing in their positions behind him, then looked at Jiang Yu and the others, nodded at Jiang Yu, and spoke with a smile.

"Sorry to have kept you all waiting. The voting results for the Rising Star finals are already on the tablet in my hand. So what are the final rankings? Who will be the champion?"

"I don't know either. Now, let's find out together!"

Director Hu announced the names starting from the last one. When everyone heard their names, they felt a sense of loss.

Hearing his own name now means that he has no chance of winning the championship.

In the end, only the top five were left, and Wang Jie himself did not hear his own name, which made him tremble in his heart.

Am I in the top five?

Suddenly, he and Wu Tao were both a little excited. Among the top five, it seemed that there was still a slight chance of winning the championship.

Lin Feifei, Huang Chen and the others were also a little nervous and excited. Director Hu glanced at the five of them and finally his eyes fell on the tablet. Seeing the result, he did not show any expression and still had a smile on his face.

"Fifth place, Wang Jie..."

"Fourth place...Lin Feifei..."

"Third place... Zhao Ying..."

"Second place...Huang Chen..."

"First place... Yang Zihan!"

Director Hu's voice fell: "Let us congratulate the champion of the first season of Tomorrow's Star, Yang Zihan!"
