chapter-1269
On Weibo.
The netizens were getting very excited!
"I was wrong!"
"Motherfucker, I take back the words I said about Zhang Ye!"
"I'll take my words back too. I've already deleted my old Weibo posts!""In so many years of listening to people sing, this is the first time I've shed a tear while listening to a song, fuck!"
"So it wasn't that he didn't know how to sing anymore. It was just that he couldn't do it. It was only because we've come to the final round of the grand finals when he could no longer catch up in voting that he finally sang for real!"
"It's too good!"
"I'm crying too, my tears are falling all over the place!"
"To put a person like Zhang Ye onstage and not allow him to sing properly? That was probably even worse than killing him! It really wasn't easy!"
"I won't slander Zhang Ye anymore in the future!"
"Passerby transforming into a fan!""Fan transforming into a diehard fan!"
"Me too. Diehard fan transforming into a braindead fan!"
"'The King of Karaoke' is so touching!"
"Ahhh, how can it be so good!"
"Let's vote for it!"
"Yeah, let's vote for Zhang Ye!"
"I've already done so!"
Zhang Ye's fans all came out of the woodwork!
Zhang Ye's fan club, which had maintained a low profile, appeared out of the blue and overwhelmed Weibo, the forums, and Tieba with the force of an avalanche!
"Please vote for Zhang Ye!"
"He can't win anymore."
"I know, but we have to at least let Teacher Zhang know that we're still around!"
"Right!"
"Please vote!"
"Let Teacher Zhang know that we're here!"
Dong Shanshan's fan club also appeared.
"Count us in!"
"Vote for Zhang Ye!"
"Our friends from Zhang Ye's fan club, we're here!"
"As allies, we must support Zhang Ye!"
Yao Jiancai's fans also popped up!
"We're here, we're here!"
"How can the party start without us!"
"Old Yao's fans, let's all vote for Zhang Ye!"
"OK!"
"Like that needs to be said!"
Fan Wenli suddenly posted on Weibo: "I just cried. It was an indescribable feeling. Although Old Chen and Grandma Zhang both sang very well, my vote will still go to Zhang Ye. I don't even have someone else that I want to vote for, I just want to vote for him."
Below, many replies came in.
"Sister Fan, aren't you going to support your husband?"
"*faints* Sister Fan has defected!"
"Looks like Zhang Ye really did sing well!"
"Alright, I'm gonna vote for Zhang Ye too."
Suddenly, Zhang Yuanqi's manager appeared.
Fang Weihong posted on Weibo with a screenshot of her vote on her cell phone: "Sister Zhang and I are watching I Am a Singer's live broadcast together. We've just voted for Zhang Ye. There's nothing to say except that it was spectacular!"
Many of the netizens exclaimed.
"Even the Heavenly Queen has voted for Zhang Ye?"
"I thought that Sister Zhang would vote for Grandma Zhang!"
"Wow!"
"That was unexpected!"
"Zhang Ye's last song moved so many people!"
"It didn't only move us, it shocked us!"
"Yeah, I got the goosebumps all over!"
Even though they knew he couldn't win!
Even though they knew there was no time left!
A lot of people were still voting for Zhang Ye!
The live broadcast continued.
Amy.
Xiaodong.
Chen Guang.
Zhang Xia.
Everyone took their turn.
As the live broadcast neared its end, the grand champion was going to be revealed!
Countless people were either seated in the live studio or before their televisions waiting to see the final results.
In her flowing red dress, Dong Shanshan held the results with the rankings on it and announced, "The grand champion of the grand finals of the first season of I Am a Singer is—" With a deliberate pause, she raised her head and looked into the audience before saying the singer's name, "Zhang Xia!"
Zhang Xia was startled, clearly not expecting this!
Applause from the audience rang out!
Chen Guang applauded with a smile on his face!
Xiaodong applauded in celebration of Zhang Xia's win!
Zhang Ye gave her a thumbs up!
The number of votes was displayed on the big screen, and the champion emerged. Zhang Xia had beaten the favorite, Chen Guang, by just a few votes to take the title of champion for the first season of I Am a Singer. This title was undoubtedly a big deal to Zhang Xia as it signified her switch from bel canto to pop music. It was also the greatest affirmation to the achievements of Zhang Xia's work in the artistic singing field over the years!
On the same night.
The news reported on this!
"Zhang Xia wins title of grand champion!"
"Chen Guang defeated in the grand finals!"
"Zhang Xia reaches the peak of her career!"
"Zhang Ye's amazing performance in the grand finals!"
"The mystery behind Zhang Ye's non-singing!"
"Unveiling the secret backstory of I Am a Singer!"
"'The King of Karaoke' drops onto the Internet!"
"I Am a Singer's viewership ratings defy the heavens by surpassing 4%!"
"Zhang Ye creates yet another legend in the variety field!"
"A successful finale to I Am a Singer. Surprises, shock, and regrets!"
The dust settled.
The public also expressed their opinions.
"This is such a great show. Zhang Ye is indeed deserving of being called the best director in our domestic variety show market. I really have to give that to him!"
"That's right, I've never watched such a good show before. If Zhang Ye stops making variety shows, I Am a Singer might just go on to become a monumental standard in the industry forever, with no one else able to surpass it. The only regrettable thing was that Zhang Ye did not become the grand champion!"
"That was such a pity!"
"To me, the grand champion is Zhang Ye!"
"Just with 'The King of Karaoke' alone, Zhang Ye deserved to be the grand champion. That one song can easily top 10 or 20 songs by the others!"
"Yeah, didn't Grandma Zhang also say that when she won the title of grand champion? She said that she was rather lucky to be holding the trophy. Thinking about it now, it was truly very hard on Zhang Ye. Does anyone still remember the 'Zhang Ye Sprawl' that went viral recently? I found it really funny at that time, but looking at it again now, I feel a little sad. He is the greatest contributor behind the scenes, yet he didn't get crowned as the grand champion in the end."
"Will there be a second season?"
"Of course there will!"
"I hope that Zhang Ye will return for the second season!"
"Yeah, don't make Zhang Ye the director when the time comes. Let him take part as a competitor so that he can sing whatever he wants. We owe him a title!"
At this moment.
Zhang Ye's fan club's current leader spoke.
Big Saber Bro: "Brothers and sisters of our fan club, allow me to say a word or two. Ever since Teacher Zhang became famous, regardless of scolding battles, bumping threads, competitions, or viewership ratings, we have never lost before, not once. But this time, we lost. I know that this is because Teacher Zhang is not supposed to become the grand champion. He didn't sing well because he couldn't do so. He had to ensure that the show would not have any flaws or controversies. But the fact remains that we've lost. I know that everyone must not be feeling good and probably feel sorry for Teacher Zhang. I feel the same as you guys; I also can't calm down. As the stand-in leader of the fan club, let me guarantee one thing to all of you today. This will be the first time we lose, and also the last time we lose! From here on out, we'll never lose again!"
In an instant, tens of thousands of people responded!
"Alright!"
"Understood!"
"Got it!"
"Got it!"
"Got it!"
"Got it!"
Quite a few netizens watching this quietly clicked their tongues!
Who could ever guarantee that they would win forever? Never lose again? Who would ever dare to make such claims? In the entire entertainment circle, was there anyone who dared to say something like that? No matter how you thought about it, only these fearless fans of Zhang Ye's would dare to say such a thing! These people were really not afraid or worried about anything!
Their momentum was too strong!
Zhang Ye had too many people on his side!
In the end, this post actually made it to the front page of Weibo. Below the post, the replies from Zhang Ye's army of fans were getting showier and more posturing!
"We won't lose again!"
"We owe Zhang Ye the title of grand champion!"
"We'll take that title someday!"
"Whatever we've lost, we'll take it back with our own hands!"
"Wow, we're on the front page. This is great, hehehe!"
"Hey, be serious. We're showing off here!"
The industry was speechless!
The netizens were all watching!
Finally, even Zhang Ye himself was flushed out. Seeing this group of people's declarations of war, he also got quite a shock. He immediately said to Big Saber Bro: "Sis, can we be more low-key? Please?"
How could I not lose?
Do you think I'm a god!
You even want me to take the title?
Are you asking me to go and steal the trophy from Grandma Zhang's house?!
However, Big Saber Bro replied with: "Go away, it's none of your business."
ZhangYeFan#22: "Go away, it's none of your business."
AIDDD: "Go away, it's none of your business."
FlyFlewFlown: "Go away, it's none of your business."
OnlyConvincedByTeacherZhang: "Go away, it's none of your business."
Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V!
A bunch of Zhang Ye's fans were copypasting!
What do you mean it's none of my business!
This is totally my fucking business!
Zhang Ye nearly vomited blood. These fuckers!
The countless netizens were greatly amused. Hahahahaha! This was such a funny scene that could only happen between Zhang Ye and his own fan club. Of all the celebrities' fan clubs in the country, the most disparate group was Zhang Ye's fan base. Yet, it was also this group of Zhang Ye's troll army that was not to be provoked. If they got frustrated, even Zhang Ye would have to bear their scolding. Once they got their showy swagger going, they wouldn't even leave a shred of respect for Zhang Ye. But if anyone else were to scold Zhang Ye, they would never allow it. They would take it up with the offender and make sure they wouldn't get away "alive.". Frankly, each was weirder than the last. There were really no others like them!
A comedic celebrity!
And a comedic bunch of fans!
In the entire Chinese entertainment industry, you wouldn't be able to find another group like them!
