543: Chapter 543 Stud!

For some time now, the trending topics on the internet have basically been dominated by Lin Chuyan and "Singer".

So the question arises: when Lin Chuyan collides with "Singer", what kind of astonishing energy will erupt, and how will public opinion be turned upside down?

Lin Chuyan couldn't help but find it amusing.

Over at "Singer", in the latest episode, the live performances of several Singers from the Chinese Music Industry have been getting worse and worse.

They're singing off-key, failing to hit high notes, and forgetting lyrics... With this standard, let alone defending the dignity of the music industry, even basic vocal quality is hard to guarantee.

In response to this, veteran music critic and lyricist Wawa could finally hold back no longer and started ranting directly in his livestream.

For some time, his idol Lin Chuyan had been suffering from baseless criticism, and he hadn't been allowed to speak up for him.

Wawa had been bottling up his anger and simply vented it all on "Singer".

He was very aggressive.

"Yes, I am a professional judge for 'Singer', so what? Can't a professional judge criticize people? If you don't like listening, you can get lost; don't come to my livestream looking to get scolded."

"You're talking about Zhou Mi? Average. Mainly because the original version of the song he chose wasn't good either.

Fans, stop forcing the praise.

If you ask me, his version just lacked the urge the original gave me to crawl out of my sickbed and turn off the TV."

"Wang Wenhao? I only have one sentence for him: hurry up and stop buying spicy strips from the convenience store.

Your throat is practically pickled, and you're still singing?"

"Like I said, fans, stop whitewashing.

If you're so good at cleaning, you should go clean the hallways and underground parking lot of your apartment building instead of wasting your time here.

I hadn't really heard these two perform live before; who knew they were this pathetic?"

"Nervous? Then why aren't the foreign Singers nervous?

Is being nervous an excuse?

Do you know why these domestic Singers are nervous?

Let me tell you!

Because they don't trust their own bodies!

They don't trust them, so they don't dare to take risks when singing!

They don't hit the notes they can reach, and instead choose a safe way to handle it.

Who's to blame?

Live performance requires a certain spirit of adventure."

"Just take a random example: Lin Chuyan has held so many concerts; look at which one of them didn't have high notes from start to finish?

This is confidence!

This is ability!"

Good grief, is that really a random example?

Some Singers' fans weren't convinced, and the comments section started hurling insults immediately.

"Some people say I'm the number one Lin Chuyan fan in the Chinese Entertainment Industry.

Haha, I'm really not exaggerating here.

Let me show you a comparison!

Look at this part in 'Singer': Zhou Mi wants to belt out a high note, but his head tilts back and his neck bends.

This easily leads to muscle compensation and lacks pharyngeal wall strength.

It would be a miracle if it sounded good!

Now let me show you this live concert clip of Lin Chuyan: his torso is upright, his head and neck are anchored, and the sound reflects off the pharyngeal wall, which is why it sounds bright and powerful when you listen to it.

Do you understand the value of a six-time Golden Melody Awards winner and Asian Pop King?!"

"Let me mention another excuse that some Singers' fans often make for their idols: that the idol has great ability, but unfortunately chose a bad song, blah blah...

Pfft!

Do you think they don't know which songs get more votes?

Do you think they don't want to choose songs that show off techniques, belt high notes, and have crazy high difficulty?

Let me be blunt: they know their own limits better than you fans do—they just don't have that ability, you know!

If they choose it and can't pull it off, they'll just get mocked.

It's better to stay in their comfort zone!"

"I've said so much, why doesn't Lin Chuyan go save the show...

Are these comments stupid?

Forget it, I won't curse at you.

Do I need to say more about the situation Teacher Lin Chuyan has been in these past few days?

The innocent will clear themselves.

The man I, Wawa, have taken a liking to can't possibly be wrong."

"Big Wawa, Lin Chuyan is really going to be on 'Singer'...

Don't spread rumors, okay?

You think you're making me happy, but actually, you're just getting my hopes up for nothing and causing me secondary damage."

However, at this moment, the comments saying "Lin Chuyan is on Singer" suddenly surged.

Wawa was instantly dumbfounded and picked up his phone to search—

"What the f*ck?

What the f*ck!

Am I the stupid one?"

Wawa jumped up from his chair: "What is this?

Lin Chuyan is really going to 'Singer'?

A brand-new competition format?

Holy sh*t, Teacher Lin Chuyan has so much clout!

Unbeatable!

Brothers, Lin Chuyan is here to save the Chinese Music Industry!

Please spam 'unbeatable' in the comments, thanks!"

The official Weibo account for "Singer" turned the news of Lin Chuyan's arrival into a very long poster, packed with dense information that dazzled the netizens' eyes.

First and foremost, of course, was Lin Chuyan's handsome, arrogant, and peerless face.

Then there were eight words, using extremely exaggerated language: Battle of the Rankings, Peak Duel.

It was clear that the "Singer" production team held Lin Chuyan in high regard and had high expectations for him.

Following that was a detailed explanation of the ranking attack format.

Challenge rules: Out of the 7 groups of online Singers, 1 group will be selected to engage in a 1v1 duel with the attacking Singer.

After the performance, the audience jury will vote for one of the two.

If Lin Chuyan loses, the online Singer is temporarily safe; if Lin Chuyan wins, the online Singer ranked last in this competition will temporarily leave the stage.

As for who to choose to PK with Lin Chuyan?

The netizens decide!

Limited to three hours, go vote, it's up to you!

At the end of the poster was the production team's introduction of Lin Chuyan: A famous Chinese male pop Singer, winner of the Grand Slam of Best New Artist awards at the Tianlai, Huayin, and Golden Melody Awards, six-time Golden Melody Awards winner, all three albums since his debut have received platinum certification, Asian Pop King, live performances more stable than CDs...

Was this exaggerating?

Netizens had to admit one thing: it really wasn't exaggerating; everything said was actually a fact.

He really had that many honors to his name.

[Good grief, did they specifically research a ranking attack format just for Lin Chuyan?]

[Unknowingly, my brother has become this awesome.

I often ignore his Singing Ability because of his identity as a double Best Actor winner for TV and film.]

[Lin Chuyan the Great Demon King!

Tremble, online Singers!]

[So which song is Lin Chuyan singing?

Are they not announcing it yet?]

[Thousands of people begging for "boundless oceans, vast skies"!]

[I want to hear "in the name of the father", ahhh!]

[Holy sh*t, I thought he came to save the Chinese Music Industry, but I didn't expect him to come and tear the house down.

The one at the bottom is also our own Singer.

If Lin Chuyan wins, someone has to leave?]

[The one at the bottom should be eliminated immediately!

Why keep them if they sing so badly?

Support Lin Chuyan!]

[Boycott "Singer"!

Boycott Lin Chuyan!

Inviting a disgraced influencer without any integrity, so shameless!]

[The person above makes me laugh to death.

Internet judge, sentencing people directly, right?

You're really something.]

There were also people already studying the competition format: I decide who Lin Chuyan PKs with?

Netizens vote to choose?

Must give him a challenge!

Didn't the stupid production team say it was a "Peak Duel"?

Fine, then let's give Lin the Dog a foreign Singer who gets first place every episode, hehe.

Let's go, let's get people to vote!

The news of Lin Chuyan going to "Singer" rushed to the number one trending spot in just a few minutes.

Not just the number one trending spot on Weibo, but on all platforms.

At a time when Lin Chuyan was being smeared by many netizens, the official "Singer" team showed their attitude with practical actions: all this talk of being blacklisted or whatever, they couldn't even produce a shred of real, hard evidence.

Yes, the production team was chasing clout, that's true, but if Lin Chuyan really had issues, they definitely wouldn't have invited him.

This is a matter of principle.

This was part of Lin Chuyan's team's plan, using such a move to tell all the Haters: you're smearing me, right?

Sorry, "Singer" designed a brand-new competition format for me, letting me enter in the most magnificent way.

You guys wasted your efforts again.

And at this moment, when countless people were paying attention, the man Wu Yue described as having "figured out the entertainment industry" posted on Weibo again.

[Only PK with the first place, everyone give me a chance.]

Yanzi needs you to give him a challenge?

A joke!

With "exaggerated" in hand, going all in!
