How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 7 Don't Vote for Jiang Yu
Audiences have been arriving at the recording site one after another. "The Voice of God" uses an audience voting system. Every episode, 500 audiences come to watch and vote for their favorite singers.

Of course, the first round is a ranking round, so there won't be a last-place elimination system. However, the rankings from the first round determine the order of song selection for the second round. Good songs will definitely be chosen by those with higher rankings, while songs that are difficult, poorly executed, or poorly presented on stage will definitely be relegated to the end.

The first episode of "The Voice of God" is a performance competition, where the guests prepare their own songs, including covers of other people's songs and their own songs. However, starting from the second episode, the program team will provide a playlist and select songs based on the ranking. Of course, to make the show more enjoyable, the program team will sometimes choose a theme and let the guests create their own songs.

As the audience came in one after another, all departments of the program team were ready and prepared to start filming at any time.

In the guest lounge, Jiang Yu had just pushed open the door and walked in when he could feel nine pairs of eyes staring at him.

There was curiosity, surprise, but more of a hint of disgust.

Jiang Yu didn't think anything of it and greeted them with a smile: "Hello, teachers."

Facing the camera, everyone nodded reluctantly and coldly.

Jiang Yu took a look and prepared to find a place to sit down.

But it seemed that no one was willing to sit next to him. Everyone's face was full of resistance, and they were all saying in their hearts, "Please don't sit next to me."

Jiang Yu is a trouble now, and no one wants to have anything to do with him.

Jiang Yu glanced at the guest sitting to his far right. He'd met him before at a music festival, but wasn't familiar with him. Huang Mingliang was a second-tier singer with decent talent and popularity.

Huang Mingliang was shocked when he saw Jiang Yu looking at him and walking towards him.

No, buddy, you're crazy. There's an empty seat over there. Why are you coming to my place? Go away. I don't want to sit with you!
Watching Jiang Yu getting closer and closer, Huang Mingliang roared in his heart.

Don't come here! ! !

But the moment Jiang Yu sat next to him, Huang Mingliang's heart calmed down. Well, he decided to come over.

"long time no see."

Jiang Yu took the initiative to say hello. Huang Mingliang had a forced smile on his face, but facing the camera, he still replied indifferently.

"Ah."

Jiang Yu also smiled, and looking at the other party's reluctant expression, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

I just like seeing this expression on your face. You're obviously unhappy with me, but you just can't get rid of me.

The senior sitting in the middle, the first-line singer Zhao Tianming just glanced at Jiang Yu coldly, his eyes full of disdain.

For these older generation of top-tier singers, the ones they look down upon the most are those who are just traffic stars like Jiang Yu. They have no talent, yet they are incredibly popular and earn a lot. Now, his reputation has been exposed again, with multiple past relationships exposed. While they were legitimate relationships, this kind of philandering man makes Zhao Tianming and his friends look down on him even more.

Shen Hongyu and another female singer opposite looked at Jiang Yu twice more.

It's no wonder this guy can be a scumbag. He can chase Su Muwan and the others. He is really handsome. Jiang Yu's appearance is top-notch in the entertainment industry, especially his skin, which looks so good.

This made Shen Hongyu and the other two female singers a little envious.

At this moment, the screen in the lounge also lit up, the host had already come on stage, and the official recording of the program began.

The first episode is a show match and also a preparation for the second episode. The order of appearance is based on the drawing of lots.

Jiang Yu drew the sixth one.

Senior Zhao Tianming was the first to perform, and he performed his most famous work. On a stage like this, performing a more popular work is more likely to impress the audience and earn more votes.

Jiang Yu watched Zhao Tianming's performance. Although he was the first to appear on stage, he was not nervous at all. He performed on stage with ease, and his singing of a love song also made the audience cheer.

In the end, it received a good result of over 456 votes.

Out of the 500 audience members present, he had already secured over 450 votes. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would likely be number one. Even if he wasn't number one, he wouldn't be out of the top three.

Then came the two third-tier singers, one male and one female. Their skills were decent, but they were a bit nervous and didn't perform very well. One got 400 votes, and the other got 389 votes.

The fourth person to perform was the first-line female singer Shen Hongyu.

She's a very popular female singer in China. At the age of 30, she's already a top-tier singer. She's also beautiful and has a great figure. Her red dress perfectly accentuated her voluptuous figure. On stage, she chose one of her well-known songs. Singing and dancing on stage, she looked like a blazing rose.

Shen Hongyu is very strong and directly won a good result of 450 votes, currently second only to Zhao Tianming.

After Shen Hongyu, Huang Mingliang, who sits next to Jiang Yu, will appear on stage. Although he is a second-tier singer, he has developed very well in the past two years and is very popular. It won't be long before he will be able to enter the first-tier.

As soon as he appeared on stage, people were cheering.

"Huang Mingliang, I love you!"

"Come on, hubby!"

"Husband is so handsome!"

……

Huang Mingliang stood on the stage, holding an electric guitar, with a slight smile on his face. It felt so good, and he also enjoyed the feeling of being sought after.

Even the people in the lounge laughed when they saw this: "Xiao Huang is very popular."

He is obviously just a second-tier singer, but looking at his popularity, it seems that he is almost catching up with first-tier singers.

But speaking of popularity...

Everyone couldn't help but look at Jiang Yu. If this top star hadn't collapsed, all of them combined probably wouldn't be able to beat him.

But now...

You've become a pariah now, how can you still expect to be as popular as before?
Many people at the scene were probably there to scold him.

Huang Mingliang's style is more inclined towards rock rap. The atmosphere on the scene was very exciting. The addition of heavy metal directly brought the atmosphere to its peak. He won a good result of 444 votes and is currently ranked third.

As Huang Mingliang's performance ended, it was Jiang Yu's turn to perform.

In the lounge, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Yu as he stood up. Unlike other singers who were cheered on, Jiang Yu was completely ignored. Jiang Yu could even detect a hint of sarcasm and disdain in the eyes of Zhao Tianming and the others.

He didn't care and walked out of the lounge.

Zhao Tianming sneered when he saw him leave, avoiding the microphone and whispering to the guest next to him, Wang Jiawei: "With his ability, going up there would be a joke. If he doesn't get eliminated this time, he'll definitely be gone next time."

Wang Jiawei nodded. They had heard Jiang Yu's songs before, and they were truly terrible. As for his skills, they were truly average. Even if he didn't get eliminated this round, he'd probably still place last.

Jiang Yu met Huang Mingliang who had just returned from a performance in the corridor. When Huang Mingliang saw Jiang Yu, he moved a little further away, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

Jiang Yu ignored him and started to wait in the waiting room.

When the host on the stage said Jiang Yu's real name, he could hear the sighs and dissatisfaction of the people present.

"It's Jiang Yu indeed! This scumbag really has the nerve to come here!"

"Hey, this guy actually came. With his rubbish singing skills, coming to this show is just asking for trouble."

"I've already said that this guy has a lot of compensation to pay now. He's probably just trying to make a quick buck. He's so shameless and refuses to terminate the contract. The production team is really unlucky to have him."

"Sisters, please don't vote for this scumbag later. Let him come in last!"

……

The host was also a little embarrassed. He quickly read the last advertising words and left the stage, handing the stage to Jiang Yu.

He even gave Jiang Yu a sympathetic look. It was impossible for this guy to win. Putting aside his lousy singing skills, the current mood of the audience made it impossible for them to vote for him.

Jiang Yu didn't care about all this. He took the microphone and slowly walked onto the stage.
