Chinese Entertainment King: Starting as a Fat Boy and Becoming a Singing King

Xu Yao and Zhou Shen watched that episode again during the rebroadcast.

No, to be precise, Zhou Shen watched the replay once.

He finally saw himself on the screen.

He finally saw that someone acknowledged his voice.

Wearing that very ordinary T-shirt, she sang the entire song "Joyful Face" on a stage where everyone was watching and she had a great voice.

"Brother Yao, I was so nervous! Look, my hands were shaking."

"I couldn't tell," Xu Yao said. "Your voice is very steady."

"Really? I always feel like I don't sing well enough..."

"Brother Yao, do you think people will talk about me? Will there be any news about me online?"

"Brother Yao, I can't sleep... Let's watch it again..."

"Brother Yao... do you think some netizens will criticize my voice for sounding strange...?"

……

Xu Yao completely ignored Zhou Shen and went to his room to sleep alone. That guy just kept nagging on and on.

The next morning, Xu Yao was awakened by a violent shaking.

"Brother Yao! Brother Yao! Wake up!"

Zhou Shen knelt beside his bed, holding up her phone, her whole body trembling with excitement.

His hair was a mess, and his eyes were swollen, but the expression on his face was like that of someone who had won the lottery.

"What's wrong..." Xu Yao squinted, his voice hoarse.

"Brother Yao, you... guess if I'm trending on social media?" Zhou Shen was somewhat incoherent.

Xu Yao said irritably, "I bet you didn't sleep all night."

"Seventh! Seventh on the trending topics!" Zhou Shen shoved his phone into Xu Yao's face. "#ZhouShen'sHappySmile# is seventh on the trending topics! Over a million views!"

Xu Yao rubbed his eyes, took the phone, and glanced at it.

He is indeed seventh. The topic is followed by the word "hot," and clicking on it leads to his blind audition segment, which has already garnered over a million views.

"My Weibo followers have gone from three thousand to ten thousand!" Zhou Shen's voice trembled. "And they're still going up! Brother Yao, they're still going up!"

He jumped off the bed, hopped barefoot on the floor twice, then plopped back down on the edge of the bed, bounced up again, sat down again, and then bounced up again with a laugh.

This guy's gone mad.

"You finally get a break, can't you just sit still for a bit?" Xu Yao pulled the blanket back and turned over.

"I can't control myself!" Zhou Shen jumped up again. "Brother Yao, I'm trending! It's because of 'The Voice'!"

Xu Yao lay face down on the pillow, speechless, utterly helpless.

For the rest of the time, Zhou Shen's phone was ringing almost nonstop.

I'm glued to my phone while walking, eating, sleeping, and even going to the toilet; I'm obsessed.

They even learned new skills like looking at their phones with one hand and taking a shower with one hand.

The number of trending topics on Weibo rose from seventh to fourth, and the number of followers increased from 10,000 to 20,000.

But what truly thrilled Zhou Shen was the third day after the blind auditions concluded.

"Brother Yao! A popularity ranking for the best voice has been released on Weibo!"

He handed over the phone, leaned back on the sofa, rested his chin on Xu Yao's shoulder, and waited for him to look at it.

"Zhou Shen, I know you're excited, but keep your distance. You're giving me the creeps. Even though I'm heartbroken, even though I'm very fat now, and even though I've been depressed before, I still like women, OK?" Xu Yao said as he moved away.

Zhou Shen's mind was completely on her phone, and she ignored Xu Yao's words.

The screen displays a real-time updated ranking list that combines the song play counts, Weibo discussion volume, trending search rankings, and online votes of all contestants during the blind audition stage.

The third season of "The Voice of China" blind auditions concluded with a popularity ranking.

Ranked #1: Chen Leqi and Wang Feng's group, "Half Moon Serenade"

Ranked 2nd: Cheng Bing, Na Ying Group, "Midsummer Light Year"

Ranked 3rd: Zhang Bichen, Na Ying Group, "She Says"

Ranked 4th: Zhou Shen, Qi Qin Group, Huan Yan

Ranked 5th: Chen Yongxin and Yang Kun's group, "The Things You Don't Know"

Ranked 6th: Liu Mingxiang, Na Ying Group, "I Came Across the Ocean to See You"

Ranked 7th: Geng Sihan and Wang Feng's group, "Orphans of a Beautiful World"

Ranked 8th: Mao Zeshao, Na Ying Group, See you at the next intersection.

Ranked 9th: Parhat, Wang Feng's group, "How Could You Bear to Make Me Sad"

Ranked 10th: Xu Jianqiu and Yang Kun's group, "I Miss You So Much"

Ranked 11th: Xu Yao and Yang Kun's group, "I'm Ugly But I'm Gentle"

Zhou Shen watched as Xu Yao calmly finished reviewing the rankings, then his voice became cautious: "Brother Yao... are you alright?"

"What could possibly be wrong with me?" Xu Yao handed the phone back to him.

"Are you upset because you're unhappy with the rankings? That's why you're not excited and why you're so calm?"

Xu Yao leaned back on the sofa and glanced at him.

"For a 250-pound fat guy like me to rank eleventh is already incredible, and I'm very satisfied with this result."

Zhou Shen stared at his face for three seconds to make sure he wasn't just saying it out of anger, and then...

"Hahahahaha..."

He burst out laughing, laughing so hard he was doubled over, laughing until tears streamed down his face, and laughing so hard he pounded the coffee table twice.

Then he suddenly realized something, sat up abruptly, and covered his mouth.

"Brother Yao, I know I shouldn't have laughed so loudly. I'm really not happy because I'm ahead of you in line."

Xu Yao nodded in understanding: "You can actually be a little more unrestrained. After all, when someone has been suppressed for a long time and is now released, it's reasonable for their mental state to be a little abnormal."

"Brother Yao, you can't insult me ​​like that. So what if you're ranked higher than me? You're so petty."

Zhou Shen finally realized that something seemed wrong with him. He took a deep breath and his expression became a little more serious, but he still couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"So many people still like my voice! Hahaha, I'm so happy, I haven't been this happy in a long time..."

After he finished speaking, he started laughing again, this time laughing so hard that he curled up on the sofa with his toes curled up.

Xu Yao looked at him and shook his head helplessly: How frustrated is this kid? It's a good thing he participated in The Voice, otherwise it feels like the Chinese entertainment industry would lose an OST king and gain a talented but unappreciated madman.

Suddenly, Xu Yao thought of four words: Fan Jin passing the imperial examination.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Shen finally, finally finished laughing.

Finally, Zhou Shen returned to normal.

Xu Yao sighed: Thank goodness, the rain has stopped and the sky is clear.

Zhou Shen tilted his head and looked at him: "Actually, I think Yao-ge, you can make it into the top ten. It's not that I don't want to comfort you, I'm just so happy, ahahahahaha... I can't help it, I can't hold it in, I want to laugh again..."

Again?

Is this never going to end?

Xu Yao picked up a cushion and threw it at him: "Shut up, hold it in. Your head hurts from laughing."

Zhou Shen caught the pillow, hugged it to his chest, then pursed his lips tightly, his shoulders trembling.

And so, in the living room, one of the two was suppressing a laugh, while the other was deep in thought.

One is celebrating the beginning of their musical dream, while the other is planning their next step.

Xu Yao leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and opened the system panel in his mind.
