I’m Really a Superstar - Chapter 1548

Chapter 1548: 1548




Two days went by .

The other grand champions officially announced their intention of joining .

The fifth season's grand champion of I Am a Singer, Qu Dong .

The fourth season's grand champion of I Am a Singer, Qi Liang .

The third season's grand champion of I Am a Singer, Hai Yifei .

Although the second season's grand champion had declined the invitation due to poor health, he recommended the female first runner-up from his batch of singers, Guan Xue, to participate in his stead . Guan Xue had received a similar amount of votes as the grand champion during that season's grand finals, so she could also be considered a very acknowledged and popular singer to the audience .

The grand champions from the five seasons had nearly assembled .

Only the singers from the first season did not respond to the call for them .

Being the earliest season of I Am a Singer, and also the opening class of this phenomenal variety show, none of the people from this generation of participating singers made a sound . Among them, those who had aged had aged, and those who have retired had retired . For some of them, they suffered from vocal injuries, while others were embroiled in contract issues with their talent agencies . Everyone was caught up in all kinds of different problems .

On Weibo .

"Qu Dong is prepared!"

"Supporting Hai Yifei!"

"Qi Liang is definitely gonna win!"

"In terms of popularity, Qu Dong is definitely the most popular one . After all, he was the winner of the latest season of the show . In terms of singing skills, it should probably go to Qi Liang . He hails from a musical family, after all . "

"Has anyone from Season One come forward yet?"

"The first season's grand champion is Zhang Ye, right?"

"Hasn't Face-smacking Zhang come back?"

"Can he still sing?"



"Who knows!"

"I guess that fellow will probably not be taking part . Isn't he busy filming a drama?"

"And besides, it's been such a long time . Actually, even the second season's runner-up, Guan Xue, does not have that much of a presence in the music scene these days . She's slowly getting marginalized from the industry . "

"Grandma Zhang was really popular back then . "

"Well, that was back then . "

"Seasons Two to Five have already sent out their participants, so all there is left now is for someone from Season One to respond . "

"But they should send someone to participate no matter what . "

"Hurry up!"

"@ZhangXia!"

"@ChenGuang!"

"Everyone, guess who will be chosen to represent the class of Season One!"

The people were in an uproar .

In the end, even the hot, young male stars started speaking up .

On Qu Dong's personal Weibo account, he mentioned many of the singers of Season One, saying humbly: "Back when the first season of I Am a Singer was shown, I was still a part of the audience . At that time, I hadn't even debuted yet and was a fan of all our seniors on the show . Years later, I am standing on this stage myself, so I really hope that I can get the chance to have a friendly competition with my predecessors . "


Following that, Qi Liang also posted on Weibo: "I'll do my best starting now to prepare for the battle of the grand champions finale . I look forward to meeting with the seniors to exchange tips with them . "

On the surface, it sounded like they were asking for guidance from their predecessors . But in reality, challenge was in their tones .

A competition between different generations of singers .



A battle between the old and new singers .

Beijing Television's gimmick was well-crafted . Back when they were pitting the singers against each other, the viewership was already at a high figure . But with the impending battle of the grand champions, all of the people's' appetites were whetted again . Over the past few days, a lot of attention was given to this show on the news, media, and Internet . Rumors said that the grand finals of this grand champions' battle would be held live as well, which made the anticipation even greater . A lot of people clamoring and couldn't wait to watch it .

Even before the competition had begun, a fiery atmosphere arose between the different fans of the male idols .

…

In a group chat .

This was a very old chat group from years ago . In it, the group members consisted of the singers who appeared in Season One of I Am a Singer . There hadn't been any activity in here for many years, and it was one of the so-called "dead groups" that people commonly called them . But today, this dead group was resurrected . Many of the chat members had emerged from their slumber .

Chen Guang: "1111 . "

The Princess of Love Songs, Xue Kaiqi: "2222 . "

The Prince of Love Songs, He Huan: "Huh?"

Zhang Xia: "???"

Amy: "Oh, the dead group has come to life . "

Xiaodong: "What's going on?"

Chen Guang: "Someone's challenging us . What do you guys feel about it?"

Xiaodong: "Hur hur, I don't feel anything . "

Chen Guang: "…"

Amy: "Old Chen, go for it! Don't embarrass us!"

Chen Guang: "My voice hasn't been that good for some years . I can't reach the high notes anymore . "

He Huan: "Amy, why don't you go and spar with them? You're one of the younger ones around here . "

Amy: "I don't have any good songs that I can sing . The songs that people like these days are different from what we used to like . I don't even know what it is that they like anymore . "

Xue Kaiqi: "You guys go ahead . I've retired from the scene . "

He Huan: "I still have an issue with my contract, so I can't go even if I wanted to . "

Xiaodong: "Grandma Zhang, what's that fella up to these days?"

Zhang Xia said, "Him? He just finished filming his show and should be idle . "

Chen Guang: "Damn, why don't he go participate then?"

Amy: "Yeah, he has to step up no matter what . Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be for us? Even if we know that we will lose, we cannot do nothing about it . "

Xue Kaiqi: "@ZhangYe Come on, go do all of us proud!"

He Huan: "@ZhangYe It has been so many years . Can you still write new songs?"

Xiaodong: "He can always stick to singing his old ones . "

Chen Guang: "If no one is going, I guess I have no choice . "

…

At night .

Back at home .

Zhang Ye was carrying his daughter and eating dinner .

His mother was asking from beside him, "So who's going to participate in the competition?"

His father asked, "Don't tell me you'll be the one going?"

Zhang Ye smiled . "I'm still thinking about it . "

His mother rolled her eyes . "What's there to think about? I Am a Singer is no longer the same . They've already finished broadcasting the fifth season . Even though the results are supposed to be determined based on singing skills, and should be assessed on whether a song is performed well, the actual outcome still depends on how popular one is . The real competition is on who has a bigger fanbase, while singing skills are a secondary concern . You should just take it easy . What if you end up in last place after deciding to go onstage? How embarrassing would that be? In that case, you might as well not join at all . "

Zhang Ye said in amusement, "That's what the staff at my studio says as well . Just how little confidence do you all have in me?"

His mother said, "That's what you get for being away for so long . "

Zhang Ye looked at his wife . "Old Wu, what do you think?"

Wu Zeqing smiled . "Decide by yourself . I'll support you no matter what . "

Zhang Ye rubbed his daughter's head and asked, "My dear, do you think that Daddy should join?"

"Daddy should join, Daddy is the greatest," Sisi said loudly .

Zhang Ye jutted out his chin . "See, it's still my daughter who is the most confident in me . "

Sisi shouted, "Daddy will win for sure!"

His mother pouted .

His father suggested, "Think about it again . "

The calls kept coming in one after another .

His friends called to ask about the situation .

And Beijing Television called him to harry him for a decision .

Only a few days remained until the battle of the grand champions began .

In fact, Zhang Ye had still not formally met with everyone since the announcement of his comeback . The people had only heard about this news through the media, and he had not come face to face with everyone through his activities so far . Therefore, he wanted to say many things to them .

Should he join?

To take to the stage of I Am a Singer once more?

So that he could let everyone know that he was back, not through the media or over Weibo, but by telling it to them face to face?
