They surrounded me right after the breakup.

When the live director of "The Rising Star" saw Shen Qingning in the audience and the beautiful woman next to her, he quickly switched the camera.

The live stream footage bounced back and forth between the stage performances and the audience.

He had even prepared the promotional copy for the show in advance—

Shocking! Female celebrity moved to tears on set!

"A Song That Made the Girlfriends Cry – Haven't You Heard It Yet?"

Compared to paid audiences, the genuine emotions displayed by the beautiful women are far more captivating.

Jiang Han was unaware of the audience's reaction and focused solely on his performance.

He didn't look at anyone, but gazed intently into the distance.

Damn it, is Mao Mao going to sing or not?

Whenever he stopped to wait for the other person to speak, Mao Buyi would automatically switch to instrumental accompaniment mode, playing only the instrument and not singing.

Aside from whistling during special passages, no lyrics are sung.

Jiang Han had no choice but to take the lead, becoming the main singer instead of the guest performer.

"A vulgar person like me has never liked to pretend to be profound."

Why do I sometimes find myself lost in thought when I hear old songs?

A coward like me always has to leave some room for maneuver.

How could I have ever thought of risking my life for someone?

A deep, affectionate male voice emanated from Jiang Han's mouth, its melody melodious and touching.

Not only the audience at the scene, but also other contestants in the backstage area were deeply moved.

I almost forgot this was supposed to be Mao Buyi's match...

They were in the dressing room, watching the stage movements in real time through monitor screens.

Zhou Zhennan clenched his fist in disbelief, while Zhong Yixuan couldn't help but close his eyes to listen.

The contestants reacted differently, but they all had the same judgment about who would win the competition.

Backstage, the program's director and music director looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Old Zhang, what do you think?"

"A masterpiece! A rare masterpiece! Both the lyrics and the composition are of top-notch quality!"

Director Zhang Beihai nodded and fell into deep thought.

"A Person Like Me" shares the same musical style as "Sorrow," possessing a strong personal style and high recognizability, and is most likely also composed by Jiang Han.

Mao Buyi's voice is deep and resonant, while Jiang Han is equally impressive, singing with a masculine charm.

The music world has produced a genius who excels in both singing and songwriting!

I heard he's the company boss? That's incredible!

As Zhang Beihai sighed inwardly, he couldn't help but frown.

According to the program's competition rules, guest performers are not allowed to lead the performance and should focus on showcasing the contestants' abilities.

Clearly, Jianghan violated the rules.

According to regulations, Mao Buyi should be eliminated.

But Zhang Beihai hesitated…

"Rising Star" aims to find promising singers. In addition to assessing the contestants' singing and songwriting abilities, it also considers the teams behind them.

Some people have a good image and strong skills, but their original songs are really hard to describe and they will never gain market recognition.

"Convene a working group immediately to discuss this!"

After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to make collective decisions based on the principle of majority rule.

On stage, Mao Buyi felt the emotions deeply, and under the influence of alcohol, his emotional responses became more direct, with his tightly closed eyes already slightly reddening.

Backstage, Qiu Siyao looked at Jiang Han's profile and felt his intense affection, which made her tremble with excitement.

Below the stage, five women unconsciously clasped hands with each other.

Lin Yaoyao was laughing, while Liu Meng and Xiao Xiao stared wide-eyed with their mouths agape.

Only the two of them wept uncontrollably.

One is Shen Qingning, who is deeply immersed in the story, treating every lyric as Jiang Han's reflection on his feelings.

It hurts! It hurts so much!

This excruciating pain can only be filled by utterly surrendering to the Jianghan region.

The other person who shed tears was Xia Yutong.

Even she couldn't figure out why, she just felt that she couldn't control herself in the face of the heart-touching singing.

She thought of the confusion she felt during her university years and the resentment she felt overshadowed by her father's success.

And...the various past events of Jianghan...

What kind of person is he?

He talks a big game, bullies her, but Jiang Han is the one who's looking at her feet.

Jiang Han is also a talented and successful businessman who has made great strides in acquiring companies.

Perhaps a man is a man with two contrasting images.

When the chorus came on for the last time, the audience spontaneously joined in the singing.

From a few scattered individuals to more than a dozen, it eventually became a massive sing-along by the entire audience.

The new song, making its public debut, had no existing audience and no prior rehearsal; it relied on its catchy melody and sincere emotions.

"How many people in the world are like me, unwilling to be ordinary...?"

As the last line of lyrics was sung, the guitar began to strum, and the outro ended.

The music faded completely, and then thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

"Clap clap... clap clap... clap clap clap!"

"Mao Buyi! Jiang Han! Mao Buyi!"

Someone took the lead in calling out the contestants' names, clapping and cheering them on.

Gradually, more and more people started shouting "Jianghan," eventually forming a unified wave of sound.

"Jianghan! Jianghan! Jianghan!"

Everyone seemed to have forgotten that he was just a guest performer and treated him as the main character on stage.

The applause and screams lasted for a long time.

Jiang Han pulled Mao Buyi up and they bowed to each other in gratitude, but he did not leave the stage after expressing his thanks as per procedure.

He first waved to the audience, then pressed his hands down to signal everyone to be quiet.

Jiang Han picked up the microphone from the shelf: "Excuse me for taking up the production team's time, but I have two things I'd like to say."

As soon as he finished speaking, the director's voice came through his in-ear monitor.

"President Jiang, please be mindful of the time; this is a live broadcast."

Jiang Han gave a soft "hmm," quite surprised that the production team hadn't tried to dissuade him, but instead offered a friendly reminder.

He stood ramrod straight, gripped the microphone, and continued speaking:

"Please allow me, on behalf of Star Moon Media Company and Mao Buyi, to apologize to everyone!"

"Due to Mao Buyi's health condition, I sang the part that was supposed to be sung by him as a guest singer."

"It neither conforms to the program rules nor respects other contestants."

"Therefore, we have decided to withdraw from the competition."

Thank you all for your support and love! Goodbye!

wow——

As soon as Jiang Han finished speaking, a chorus of sighs arose from the audience.

Some people feel it's a pity, while others can understand.

But more than anything, I feel admiration for the Jianghan Plain.

The audience erupted in applause once again, bidding them farewell as they left.

When the chief director Zhang Beihai heard Jiang Han's decision and looked at the results of the discussion, he shook his head helplessly.

After prior study, the working group was willing to loosen the rules and activate the final interpretation clause to help Mao Buyi advance.

Surprisingly, he realized the problem and voluntarily withdrew...

After Jiang Han walked onto the stage, Qiu Siyao rushed over and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.

"Honey, I'll treat you well!"

In my heart, you are the most handsome, the best, and the most capable man!

"No matter what kind of person you are, I will always be your woman!"

Jiang Han stroked Qiu Siyao's hair and gently kissed her forehead.
