Chapter 1030: Troublemaking fans!

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

Sunflower left the stage dejectedly!

When many of Li Yu\'s fans saw this, their hearts broke!

"Brother Li Yu!"

"Li Yu!"

"How could you eliminate Li Yu?"

"This is such a shady show!"

"They were trying to take down Brother Li Yu!"

"Unfair! This is unfair!"

Some of his diehard fans were having none of it. They started shouting and screaming as though they were intent on causing trouble!

When Hu Fei and the program team staff saw this, they could only shake their heads lightly. This was indeed a case of a celebrity having fans of similar temperament. Li Yu\'s integrity was already questionable as he had started doing things unscrupulously. In order to fight for the crown of the Masked King to garner popularity for his status, he resorted to underhanded methods. Looking at his group of fans, it seemed that many of their characters were the same as his. They did not know of the severity of their actions, nor did they care about respecting others.

The program team staff then thought about Teacher Zhang Ye.

Looking at Teacher Zhang\'s fans, they didn\'t usually show much support for him in normal times. Whenever he met with trouble, his fans would always appear to gloat at him first by fooling around and ridiculing him. But once Teacher Zhang encountered real trouble, his fans would always gather their support and contribute their strength without a moment\'s hesitation. This was because they knew what respect was and could differentiate between the severity of an incident. They understood when it was right to make jokes or fool around and when not to do so. They knew better than anyone!

This was where they were different!

And this was the only difference between their fanbases!

...

Yesterday\'s Daylily took off his mask!

The judges were all shocked!

"It\'s you?"

"Hey, so it\'s you!"

Chen Guang knew him.

Amy also knew him, but was not really close.

Yesterday\'s Daylily was not exactly a rookie in the industry. He had debuted in the music industry around four years ago but hadn\'t made much of an impact so far. He wasn\'t that well-known but was given some songs to sing for a few movies and television dramas in the past year. Lucky for him, those projects were very well-received and his songs became popular along with them. Perhaps not many would know his name, but if there was any mention of those songs, most people would immediately recognize them!

"I\'ve heard his songs before!"

"I like him!"

"His singing\'s actually not that bad."

"Right, it was simply because his opponents were too strong that he got eliminated!"

Many of the audience members gave him their applause!

However, Li Yu\'s fans started booing, with a lot of them noisily leading it. Beijing Television could only send someone over to give them a warning!

In the wings.

The Clown had just returned.

Petal Shower, Spinach, and the others met up with him over here.

Petal Shower put out her hand. "Nice teamwork?"

The Clown shook her hand. "Nice teamwork."

Spinach exclaimed, "You two were really shocking!"

The Clown and Petal Shower both shook their heads and laughed.

That was Li Yu!

That was fucking Li Yu, goddammit!

He was knocked out the show just like that by these two people? He got eliminated?

Especially The Clown, who faced the former A-lister who specialized in Cantonese songs. This…this…just who the hell was this guy? He managed to bring Li Yu to the point where he didn\'t even dare take off his mask?

Actually, if The Clown had beat Li Yu by just singing normally, Li Yu might not have ended up leaving the show in such a way. After all, he had come onto the show to garner more support. If he had taken off his mask, that would surely have helped him gain more popularity even though he had lost the competition. But as things turned out, Li Yu did not take off his mask. There was no way he could do it, because The Clown had really been too much of a jerk! First, he took a hit while he was down. Then came another two blows! "Life\'s More Than the Grind" and "I Really Love You" had given Li Yu a hard slap one after the other! He even destroyed him with a Cantonese song, the area Li Yu was supposedly most skilled in! If it were someone else, they would have chosen not to take off their masks too!

How could they!

Just why would they want to take off their mask?

Han Qi came over. "Teacher!"

The Clown looked at her. "Hey."

Xiao Lu came up to them in astonishment. "Teacher Clown, did you really win?"

Han Qi was finding it difficult to express herself. "I…you…"

Dafei also came up to them. "\'I Really Love You\' made Little Han cry again! In fact, it also made me crying. It was so good, that song was so damn good!"

Han Qi and Dafei often listened to songs, but had never cried because of one. They never once thought that anyone could possibly cry because of listening to a song. It wasn\'t until they heard The Clown perform live, and after listening to Petal Shower\'s and the others\' performances, that they finally understood that listening to people sing live was a totally different experience. The song, "I Really Love You," that The Clown had performed today was earth-shattering!

Sunset Glow suddenly asked, "Did your agency write this song for you?"

Zhang Ye did not say anything. He just laughed.

Spinach said in amazement, "What kind of a musician can write a song like that?"

Petal Shower suddenly said, "Could Zhang Ye have written them for you?"

Zhang Ye was startled and couldn\'t help letting out a chuckle, although he still did not say anything.

Sunset Glow said, "Yeah, Zhang Ye is very good at writing songs, but he doesn\'t write them for just anyone." Then she looked at The Clown and said, "Well, it\'s fine if you don\'t wish to tell us. We won\'t ask anymore."

They had a lot of guesses, but none of them could have expected that the man standing in front of them was Zhang Ye himself!

Not far away, Dong Shanshan could be heard saying, "Next up, let\'s head into this episode\'s battle for the Masked King."

...

An hour later.

The recording of the show ended.

At some point in time, Zhang Ye, who had already changed out of his costume and taken off his shoes and mask, was walking around among the program team staff.

Many of the staff greeted him.

"Eh, Teacher Zhang!"

"Why didn\'t we see you around all this while?"

"Did you watch the recording today? It was wonderful!"

"Petal Shower was the Masked King in episode three!"

"You know, The Clown stood a chance as well."

"Teacher Zhang, I think Director Hu was looking for you."

Show recording was a very busy process and there were a lot of things to handle, so no one really took note of Zhang Ye and did not think much of his sudden disappearance or appearance.

In an office.

Zhang Ye found Hu Fei and went inside. When he came in, he saw that his parents and cousins were around as well. Obviously, Hu Fei brought them over from the studio after the recording ended.

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Brother Hu."

Hu Fei pointed at him. \'Your parents have been looking for you for the longest time, but you couldn\'t be found anywhere."

Zhang Ye said, "I was watching the recording studioside the entire time. Mom, Dad, let\'s go."

His parents stood up and said their goodbyes to Hu Fei.

Hu Fei smiled and said, "Auntie, Uncle, feel free to come by often." Then, he turned to Zhang Ye\'s cousins. "Come by whenever you want to watch a live recording of our show. Hur hur, there\'s no need to bother your cousin in the future, just come and look for me and I\'ll bring you in." Such treatment was not even afforded to the assistant directors. In the entire program team, only Zhang Ye\'s family members would have such preferential treatment. No one could raise any objections against it.

His third sister exclaimed, "Thank you, Brother Hu!"

Zhang Ye raised his chin and said, "What? Just once is enough. Do you really think you\'ll be coming here every episode?"

His second sister pouted. "Brother, you\'re really petty!"

Zhang Ye rolled his eyes. "Do you think that other people do not need to work? Stop giving them unnecessary trouble."

Hu Fei said in amusement, "Don\'t listen to him. If you all wish to come, just come. I am the boss, and the entire program team listens to my decisions!"

The sisters cheered!

Then they left the office.

His mother exclaimed, "I got such a kick out of watching the performances!"

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "It\'s not too shabby, right?"

"It was great!" His mother had experienced many emotions today. "Especially when The Clown sang that \'I Really Love You.\' Aiyo, I just bawled." Then she glanced at her son and shook her head. "Look at him, then look at you. When will you sing something like that for your dad and me?!"

His third sister teased, "With that lousy voice my brother has, even if he tries to sing, would you want to listen?"

His mother nodded in seriousness. "True. I guess he better not sing then."

His family all laughed.

Zhang Ye rolled his eyes again and tapped his third sister on the head. "How dare you trample over me?"

When they were about to reach the exit, they could suddenly hear arguing.

People were squabbling outside the door!

There were over a dozen young men and women shouting and screaming outside!

"This is such a shady show!"

"You people rigged the results!"

"This episode\'s Masked King should have been Li Yu!"

"How can you eliminate Brother Li Yu?"

"Ah! This is pissing me off!"

"We need an explanation today!"

"When Brother Li Yu left the stage, he was so crestfallen! You people were such bullies!"

"Get your boss out here right now!"

"Right, call your boss out here!"

These dozen or so people blocked the staff exit and did not budge for anyone. With them there, none of the staff could leave!

A few employees on the King of Masked Singers program team staff were trying to talk sense into them.

"What are you doing?"

"This is a staff zone!"

Someone had called the security guards and they came over.

When the security guards were about to chase them away, Li Yu\'s fans started shouting!

"Don\'t you dare touch me!"

"The security guards are hitting us!"

"Someone, come here!"

"Are there any reporters?! This program team is shady as fuck!"

They were completely shameless!

More and more people had gathered by now!

It didn\'t matter if anyone came to chase them off or talk with them!

His third sister said, "What kind of fans are these?"

His eldest sister shook her head. "These people are so awful."

His father knitted his brows. "Right when we\'re about to go home too?"

Nobody could leave. Some of them were pointing at the door, while others could not hold back from complaining angrily.

However, that group of Li Yu\'s fans did not seem to hear anything and linked arms to blockade the exit. "If you people don\'t give a proper answer to Brother Li Yu, don\'t even think of leaving today!" It was the same bunch of people who had created trouble during the recording.

No one could do anything. Such irrational fans were the most difficult to deal with!

Zhang Ye could no longer sit back. He squeezed through the crowd and pushed forward.

His mother was taken aback. "What are you trying to do?"

His father said, "Little Ye!"

Beijing Television staff spotted Zhang Ye coming to the front and made room for him. "Teacher Zhang, look at them. Aren\'t they just trying to make trouble?!"

Being shady?

Even if there were someone being shady, it would be Li Yu!

Here, in full view of the crowd, Zhang Ye made his way to those diehard Li Yu fans who had formed up a human chain to block the exit.

When they saw that it was Zhang Ye, all of them were stunned and instinctively took a step back.

Zhang Ye simply stood there and stared at them without saying a word.

"You!"

"Uh…"

"Cough, ahem."

Those people immediately lost their hostility.

A boy in the group tried to speak. "Brother Li Yu was—"

A companion next to him quickly pulled at him. "Let\'s go."

The boy said angrily, "Why do we need to leave?"

That person whispered, "That\'s Zhang Ye."

Zhang Ye.

The hooligan of the entertainment industry that everyone was afraid to encounter!

Causing trouble? Beating someone up? Scolding others? He had done all of that before!

They knew that they could be unreasonable with other people because they were sure that Beijing Television\'s security would not risk laying a hand on them, and neither would the staff in front of them try to do so. But Zhang Ye was different. If he decided to get rough, he would even curse at the president!

"This isn\'t over!"

"W-We\'ll talk about this another time!"

"Just you wait!"

A few of them acted tough and shouted a few threats before turning tail!

Zhang Ye turned around to his parents and three sisters. "Alright, let\'s go."

A bunch of the bottlenecked staff didn\'t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Thank you."

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang."

"Teacher Zhang still commands the most respect around here."

"Director Zhang, thanks for your hard work."

"Haha, your appearance still works best!"

They had shouted at the troublemaking fans, called security, and even threatened to involve the police, but none of that worked. In the end, when Zhang Ye came over and stood there, the fans left without uttering another word!

His third sister blinked hard, then giggled. "So your reputation really is that infamous, huh, Brother?"

Zhang Ye had no response. What are you even saying!

When the staff around them heard that, they broke into fits of laughter!

"Pfft!"

"Hahaha!"
