Chapter 343

"Chen Jing is taking on four at once—he's a beast!" "Has there been a winner yet?" "These fans are absolutely insane!" ... The conflict between the Elves and the fans of the "Four Returning Sons" did not fade with time; if anything, the media’s constant hype only fueled the fire. Many people by now had forgotten why the two sides were even fighting, but on Weibo, forums, and message boards, you could always find them tearing each other apart. It was highly likely that someone was pulling strings behind the scenes to build momentum for the four returnees. After all, Chen Jing sat firmly on the throne as the most popular idol in the country. Neither the heat of their popularity nor their drawing power in works could compare to his. However, the positioning of the four returnees overlapped significantly with Chen Jing’s—they were all singing and dancing idols from boy bands, and their career paths were bound to be similar. The first step was releasing songs to attract fans; this was the four returnees' specialty. But the Chinese music scene was in a complete slump, unlike a few years ago when Chen Jing had returned and managed to earn the title of the final "King of Mandopop." Now, the four returnees could only rely on fans to pay for sales to pad their numbers or head to the U.S. to "gild" their resumes on the charts.
