Huayu 2007: Starting with Super Boy!

"Alright, the first round of exciting competition has ended. Which contestant on stage do you like better? Please vote for them now."

He Jiong started campaigning for the two of them.

"Yes, China Mobile, China Unicom, and PHS users: Send the contestant's number to 958820. Contestant numbers: Chen Chusheng 09, Wang Yihan 13. Please make sure you don't get it wrong."

Wang Han replied cooperatively.

This is both the program flow and the performance evaluation.

Hunan TV made a fortune from this single fee.

A few minutes later.

The two took to the stage again.

The host announced the real-time vote counts for the two candidates.

Chen Chusheng: 184 million votes.

Wang Yihan: 191 million votes.

Wang Yihan is currently in the lead.

A hint of sadness flashed across Chen Chusheng's face, followed by excitement.

It is both the disappointment of being temporarily behind and the excitement of facing a strong opponent.

This kind of feeling is something most people don't understand.

Only those who stand at the top can have this feeling.

Just like Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, who fought a decisive battle at the Forbidden City, they were not only lifelong rivals but also each other's only confidants.

He Jiong: "The two contestants are neck and neck in the votes, they seem to be evenly matched opponents. We're going to have a good show tonight!"

Wang Han: "That's right, viewers in front of the TV, please don't go away! After this is GG, the excitement continues!"

......

After resting for a while.

The second round continues.

Celebrity guest performers.

In order to boost ratings, Hunan TV finally decided to spend a lot of money and invited several top-tier singers.

Chen Chusheng's guest performer was Chi Chin, a top singer from Taiwan.

Coincidentally, Chen Chusheng sang the opponent's songs several times during the competition.

The two have very similar styles.

This candidate is absolutely perfect.

The two created a unique medley of "The Outside World" and "Cliff," with Chen Chusheng playing guitar and Qi Qin playing harmonica, a clear division of labor that complemented each other perfectly.

The two of them simply sat there and sang.

The minimalist arrangement of guitar and harmonica perfectly matches Qi Qin's classic folk style and also highlights Chen Chusheng's signature guitar playing and singing style.

It creates a stage effect where 1+1 is greater than 2.

When it was Wang Yihan's turn to go on stage.

Hunan TV chose the most famous male duo in China, "Yu Quan," for him.

They chose Yu Quan's hit song "Running," which showcased a youthful and energetic style, and the stage effect was also very good.

After this round of competition...

Chen Chusheng's vote count has been overtaken.

Chen Chusheng: 229 million votes.

Wang Yihan: 227 million votes.

A very interesting number.

When Wang Yihan saw this number, she almost burst out laughing.

She couldn't help but glance at Chen Chusheng beside her.

Chen Chusheng was a little confused by him.

I don't know why he could still laugh even when he was behind?

They must have a very strong mental fortitude.

I need to learn from him in this regard.

So he nodded seriously.

Chen Chusheng's serious expression left Wang Yihan somewhat bewildered.

Could this person have some kind of mental problem?

Why is he still so serious even after winning?

They weren't given much time.

Take a short break.

The third round has begun.

This round of competition is about dance.

Clearly, Chen Chusheng is not good at this.

With the support of Su Xing's equipment, Wang Yihan displayed passion and youthful exuberance.

Not surprisingly.

When the votes were counted, Wang Yihan once again overtook the others.

Chen Chusheng: 256 million votes.

Wang Yihan: 278 million votes.

The gap has become quite large.

Chen Chusheng finally panicked.

He wasn't the only one in a hurry.

Danny Long, backstage, was also getting anxious.

If it weren't for her reaching out like Hayek and intercepting some of Wang Yihan's votes...

The gap will widen further.

That's right.

The vote count displayed at the scene was the result after intervention.

otherwise.

The gap between the two will only widen.

Why not just let Chen Chusheng take the lead in votes?

That would be too blatant.

In the previous round, Wang Yihan's performance was significantly better than Chen Chusheng's.

As long as the people watching the show aren't blind.

Everyone knows that Hunan TV manipulated the data behind the scenes.

We need to make changes gradually and systematically, with a pace that is full of twists and turns and exciting to people...

That's what makes the show interesting.

This is not.

The results of the third round are in.

The show's ratings are starting to rise again.

Online discussion also began to surge.

They were all arguing fiercely about who would win the final championship.

The suspenseful outcome made everyone feel very involved.

The fourth round.

Theme: Seven Years of Story.

Chen Chusheng paid tribute to his seven-year career as a bar singer with a heartfelt song, "Looking Back Again".

Liu Yun, his girlfriend whom he met when he was still struggling, was also present in the audience.

He gazed deeply into the eyes of the audience, and sang until he choked up, moving the entire audience.

Wang Yihan couldn't help but applaud her opponent.

When it was his turn to go on stage.

He Jiong was curious about his actions just now.

Wang Yihan said frankly, "Chen Chusheng is a worthy opponent! His story also deeply moved me. His persistence and love for music is a role model that every musician should learn from."

offstage.

Chen Chusheng suddenly looked up.

The two opponents made eye contact for the first time.

There was no smoke of gunpowder or war.

Only mutual appreciation remains.

Everyone present couldn't help but applaud.

For this wonderful pair of opponents, and for Wang Yihan's sincere and genuine heart.

"Chen Chusheng analyzed his seven-year career as a bar singer. What about you? What insights have you gained from your seven years?" Wang Han walked over and asked.

me?

Wang Yihan smiled sadly.

More than seven years!

Past lives and present lives, more than seventeen years.

In his past life, his failure in the Super Boy competition eroded his will.

Not only did he lose touch with the girl he loved most, but he also lost his direction in life, drifting aimlessly.

Later, when I moved to Beijing, I reconnected with my good buddies who played in bands, which helped me regain my confidence and get back on track.

But one must reach middle age.

There is no place for him in the entertainment industry anymore.

Young, popular male celebrities are the darlings of this era, attracting widespread attention.

He was nothing more than a roadside figure.

A Super Boy contestant?

Please, a group of old Dengs swept away by the tides of time.

Does anyone still know?

Even among the former champions, runners-up, and third-place winners, how many people still remember them?

Of the 0713 team from that year, only Zhang Jie, who came in fourth place, is still active.

And Wang Zhengliang, who was eliminated early on, appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage and lived a second life.

No one paid attention to the others.

However, later on, Chen Chusheng experienced a career resurgence because of a song (Wang Yihan's first string performance of "Until the End of the World," which was a tribute to the song).

But that was a miracle of perfect timing, location, and people, one that cannot be replicated.

In the words of Lao Xue, who had a similar experience: "I became famous very suddenly. One day, after taking a shower and brushing my teeth, I found out that I was famous."

After his comeback, his mindset was: cherish the opportunity and fear fading into obscurity again.

Xue Zhiqian is like this, and so is Wang Yihan.

God gave him another chance.

He must cherish it.

So he picked up the microphone and replied, "Maybe it's because I cherish it. I'm grateful to the Super Boy stage for letting so many people know me and allowing me to go from an ordinary musician to someone who is no longer so ordinary."

He smiled as he said this.

Wang Han smiled too, "Simple words, but also very beautiful."

He Jiong also said with deep feeling, "That's right, our contestant Wang Yihan is a person with a pure heart and a grateful heart. Let's encourage him with the warmest applause, shall we?"

clap clap...

Thunderous applause!
