When Yang Yu returned to the backstage with the joy of promotion, an impulse welled up in his heart, and he couldn't wait to take out the phone and dial a call that he hadn't had the courage to make for three years.

"Hey, who is it?"

On the other end of the phone, a female voice speaking the Sanqin dialect came, her voice was a little tired, but it was so familiar, it was the voice of his mother Liu Xiuli.

"Mom, it's me, I'm ......"

He didn't finish a word, tears instantly welled up from his eyes, and he couldn't help crying backstage.

At this time, endless remorse welled up in his heart, he regretted his rebellion, regretted his selfishness for three years, and until this moment, he did not know what was the most important thing in life.

"Xiao Yu, is that you, where are you now, how are you doing?"

Hearing that it was her son's voice, Liu Xiuli's voice became a little anxious, but the concern in her words could be felt by him across the phone.

"Mom, I'm fine, I'm in Chongqing, I just participated in a talent show, I will definitely be popular, I will definitely make a lot of money, so that our family can live a good life. ”

Feeling his mother's concern, the sourness in Yang Yu's heart calmed down a lot, and he couldn't wait to share his joy with his mother.

But Liu Xiuli is just an ordinary rural woman, how can she know what a draft is, she only cares about her son.

And when she heard that her son was still thinking about being a star, she suddenly became angry.

"You bastard, you still think about those things that don't matter, it's been almost three years since you ran out of the house with those people, and you don't even have a phone call, your dad and I don't know if you live or die, you don't repent now, you want to be angry with me." ”

"Mom, this time is different, I will definitely be popular this time, please believe me, I will definitely let our family live a good life." ”

Hearing his mother's scolding, Yang Yu regretted it even more, but he had to go on, with the dzi in his hand, he believed that he would definitely be able to get ahead.

But Liu Xiuli didn't want to hear this at all, she just wanted her son to come back: "Xiao Yu, come back, is it good for An An to live a good life." ”

Yang Yu gritted his teeth and said with a crying voice: "Mom, you and Dad take care of your body, this Sunday night, our program will be shown on Yanjing Satellite TV, and you will believe me when the time comes." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly hung up the phone, and if he continued, he didn't know how to explain it to his mother, so let the facts speak for themselves.

Here, Yang Yu just hung up the phone, and on the other end of the phone, Yang Yu's father, Yang Peng, happened to walk into the house and saw his wife with tears on her face.

"What's wrong? What are you crying about?"

"Xiao Yu just called. ”

Hearing his wife's words, Yang Peng's face immediately became gloomy: "Where is that beast now?"

Liu Xiuli said: "It is said that it is in Yanjing. ”

"You didn't let him come back?"

"He said he was on a talent show and couldn't come back, and said let's watch his show on Sunday night. ”

Hearing Liu Xiuli's words, Yang Peng slammed the door of the house: "I don't know how to turn back yet!"

Yang Yu, who hung up the phone, didn't know what was going on at home, and after he returned to Yanjing with the program team, in addition to preparing the songs to be used in the next game, he was waiting for the game to be played.

On Sunday afternoon, in the courtyard rented by Lin Sen, several people gathered in front of the TV, waiting for the program to be broadcast.

In addition to Yang Yu and Lin Sen, the other three of these people are all good friends that Yang Yu met in Yanjing.

The glasses-wearing, skinny man named Hou Donglai, nicknamed Monkey, doesn't look good-looking, but he is a top student of the law department of Yenching University, and Yang Yu met at a campus music festival.

Next to Hou Donglai, a sturdy man with a rough appearance is Zhang Meng, a native of Yuandong, a fitness coach by profession, whom Yang Yu met when he was working out.

The last man who looked to be in his thirties, the oldest man, was named Xue Ming, who ran a video store, where Yang Yu often went to buy magazines, pick up some records or something, and he knew each other after coming and going.

Originally, these people were just his friends, but after a few appointments to play, they got to know each other.

Several people sat on the sofa, Yang Yu tuned the TV channel to Yanjing Satellite TV, and the second issue of "The Strongest Voice in China" was about to start.

He learned from Yang Yu of the program group that the ratings of the first episode of yesterday directly broke 1, which can be regarded as an instant hit.

I believe that with the warm-up of the first issue, the ratings of the second episode should be higher today, so that more people will know him.

Everyone waited seriously, but one person asked dissatisfiedly: "You all know the result, what else do you want to see?" ”

It was Lin Sen who spoke, this guy was a fan, and there was a game broadcast tonight, but Yang Yu dominated the TV, of course he would be unhappy.

"Don't talk nonsense, everyone will help me contribute some ratings, you hurry up and play. ”

For Lin Sen's dissatisfaction, Yang Yu completely ignored it.

"As long as you're still heroic, you came to me after being dumped by other girls, and you occupied my TV, I have a ball game to watch tonight." ”

Yang Yu didn't care about Lin Sen's complaint at all, and suddenly pointed to the TV and said, "It's started, it's started!"

Complaining is complaining, but seeing the start of the show, Lin Sen still quieted down.

In fact, he was still very happy when he saw Yang Yu like this, at least it was much stronger than the negative appearance before.

And Hou Donglai came to a few people, in fact, he also called them, everyone was very concerned about Yang Yu, and they just took this opportunity to get together.

The program broadcast on TV was edited in post-production, so it was much more compact than it actually was, and before Yang Yu took the stage, the program team also played a video of him holding a guitar and being interviewed.

On the screen, when he finished singing the song that attracted the applause of the audience, he heard the three judges say that he was promoted, even if he had already experienced it once, he was still inevitably excited.

Just as he was celebrating his promotion with his friends, thousands of miles away, in a village in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City, Yang Yu's mother Liu Xiuli and sister Yang Rong sat in front of the TV early.

Although Liu Xiuli blames her son for being ignorant, in her heart, she still cares about her son's news.

After seeing Yang Yu advance, Yang Rong jumped up on the spot and shouted happily: "Mom, my brother has been promoted, my brother has been promoted." ”

Although Liu Xiuli couldn't appreciate her son's song, she could still understand that the three judges were praising his son.

"It's a pity my dad isn't here. Watching her brother advance, Yang Rong felt that it was a pity that her father was not there.

Liu Xiuli gently touched her daughter's head, she understood that her husband was a strong person, even if he cared about his son, he would not show it.

Yang Yu successfully advanced, but he understood that this was just the beginning.

Although he performed well in the preliminary round, the other players who advanced were not weak, at least in the popularity vote of Youdou Video Network, the cooperative media of "The Strongest Voice in China", he was only ranked in the middle.

Among the more than 20 players, he ranked ninth with more than 20,000 votes, and the first player in popularity got more than three times the number of votes of Yang Yu, with 80,000 votes.

Although Yang Yu sang a good original song, which attracted the attention of some audiences, his influence was still very limited.

If it weren't for the fact that among the players who advanced to the tournament, his appearance was not bad, I am afraid that the number of votes would be discounted.

In fact, a good number of voters did not watch the show at all, but just clicked on the vote based on a promotional photo.

Li Bin is right, in the talent show, it is indeed difficult to resonate with the audience by singing original songs, and it is a bit of a loss in attracting popularity.

Before the start of the national competition, Yang Yu and other contestants not only had to prepare the repertoire for the competition, but also cooperate with the program team to publicize.

They have to shoot some training tidbits, interactive videos, etc., all for the promotion of the show and increase the popularity of the players.

After a week passed, the third phase of the Shanghai Division, the fourth phase of the Xiangjiang Division, and the preliminary rounds were all played, and the top 64 of "The Strongest Voice in China" were all born.

At this time, Yang Yu has fallen to outside the top 30 in the popularity ranking of Youdou Video's "The Strongest Voice in China" area.

This is actually a normal thing, and as the show progresses, the ratings will get higher and higher, and the audience will increase.

Therefore, the players who are further promoted will get more attention, and now there is not a single player from the first two phases of the top ten in the popularity ranking.

However, what relieved Yang Yu was that the Blue Fire Band was even lower than his ranking, reaching more than fifty.

No wonder I saw Lin Xiyan in the program group recently, and his face was gloomy like stepping on shit.

Although his initial popularity was not high, as long as it was gold, it would always shine, and the classics would always be classics.

After two weeks of fermentation, the song attracted the attention of many netizens, and unconsciously, the click-through rate of the video he sang in the preliminary round increased steadily.

Excellent works, emotional singing, coupled with not low appearance, Yang Yu's popularity votes, without anyone paying attention, actually began to climb slowly.

And this kind of slow precipitation growth brings him a very solid popularity, not as vain as the popularity of other draft players.

However, few people can notice all this except for the staff of the program and Youdou Video, and Yang Yu has no heart to pay attention to these things because he is approaching the start of the knockout round.

The accompaniment score of the song he wants to sing in the knockout round has been handed over to the program team in advance, although his talent in arrangement is mediocre, it does not prevent him from sorting out the already formed works directly from the dream world.

When he saw Yang Yu come up with such a mature arrangement, it immediately attracted the attention of many people, among which Gao Le, the music director of the show, even tried to buy songs from him.

However, he is now focused on the competition, and he really doesn't have time to write songs for others, because he can't control himself in the dream world, so for so long, he hasn't sorted out many songs.

Finally, the breakout match of the top 64 in the country of "China's Strongest Voice" is about to begin, and the broadcast method of the game has also changed from recording to live broadcasting.

In the studio hall of Yanjing Satellite TV's "The Strongest Voice in China", the audience began to enter one after another, in order to give back to the audience, tickets to enter the scene to watch the game do not need to be purchased, as long as you register online, the program team will randomly select lucky viewers for free tickets.

With the sound of live music and the dancing lights, the 2009 "China's Strongest Voice" National Breakthrough Competition officially began to broadcast live, and the three judges entered the venue in turn, and then the host Sun Rui walked on the stage.

"Hello audience friends, you are watching the 2009 Chinese strongest voice breakthrough match scene, this program is ......"

After Sun Rui completed the opening introduction, he entered the contestant introduction session, as the gold medal host of Yanjing Satellite TV, Sun Rui expressed the characteristics of the contestants in just a few words.

With Sun Rui's introduction, the location of the standby area next to the stage, the top 64 in the country of "The Strongest Voice in China" stood neatly inside, everyone was numbered in order of promotion, and was shooting with the camera, greeting the audience one by one.

Yang Yu's number is No. 13, which is arranged according to his promotion order at this time.

In the round of 64, except for the three bands, including Blue Fire, the others were all individual contestants, the oldest of which was a 40-year-old male contestant and the youngest was a 16-year-old girl.

After entering the breakout competition, all the contestants were uniformly dressed under the arrangement of the program team, and the male contestants wore suits with a slight military style.

It's just a navy blue color, a stiff style, and several golden cloth tassels hanging down from the chest, which looks a little nondescript.

gives a lot of people an unusually exaggerated feeling, and when most of the players wear it very poorly, Yang Yu holds up this dress very well.

His height of 1.79 meters, he likes to exercise and has a good figure, which is simply a perfect hanger.

In addition to the handsome face with some makeup, Yang Yu insisted on lining the flashy style clothes prepared by the program team with a special temperament, and even the slightly cheap fabrics became high-grade.

And others don't have Yang Yu's effect, those who are thin are okay, and they can barely look at it.

And those who are out of shape, wearing this outfit is simply miserable, after all the contestants appeared, some viewers began to complain in the forum of the program area.

"Can't Yanjing Satellite TV find a costume artist, what kind of aesthetic is this? This costume design is so spicy to the eyes!" - a snail who loves to flow

"Fortunately, there is player No. 13, such a temperamental little brother, he can wear such a nondescript style out of temperament, anyway, I decided, if the camera goes to the standby area, I will only look at No. 13. - Cat in skirt

The netizens who followed the post below agreed one after another, and many viewers who were suspected of being fans of the girl affirmed Yang Yu's appearance and figure, so that Yang Yu had already gained a lot of fans by virtue of her appearance before the game started.

Even a fast-handed viewer has already posted a screenshot of Yang Yu, with a comment: There is no harm if there is no comparison.
