This MV, after its release, received unanimous praise, as expected.

【This fan is the first to say it! So cool! It didn't disappoint me at all!!!】

【Sorry, I'll confess first, I really love the part where Jiang Mei takes off the paper covering her eyes, wife, I love you, *squeals*.】

【↑You're weird upstairs!】

【Then I like the part where they rip off the paper from their left shoulders the best, so cool.】

【Me too, so synchronized, it's so impressive!】

【The styling is also so good this time, I love all three looks!】

【I declare that Magician Jiang Mei is my favorite look, no arguments! So cute!】

【The last shot is also super cool, where there is light, there is darkness.】

【Let's analyze it, the shadow behind them symbolizes the bad reviews, although there will always be bad reviews that follow them, but these bad reviews will always be left behind.】

【That's probably it! Also, I think the two bottles in Jiang Mei's hands probably symbolize two different voices? She ultimately chooses to follow her own heart, no matter which voice is louder in the end, she firmly chooses the one she likes, which matches her attitude when she was reading the bad reviews!!】

【I feel like there are so many details, I'm going to have to watch it three times.】

【Wuwuwu, I love it so much, the black-hearted passersby who spread rumors, go away, our group is the best in terms of looks, skills, and character, 5tars is the best!!!】

Besides fans, some passersby were also impressed.

【The concept is really good!】

【The girls are all very brave.】

【Although I still can't tell who's who in this group, but I watched that video of them reading the bad reviews, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, why can't they fight back when they're being scolded? Aren't celebrities also human?】

The MV's popularity was very high.

The album sales were also very good.

The sales of this second album were even better than the first.

Generally, after a group debuts from a survival show, they face the problem of losing fans, but 5tars not only didn't lose many fans, they even gained a considerable number of post-show fans.

Currently, in terms of the number of fans, there are almost no rivals in the Chinese girl group scene.

5tars' planning is also good.

They didn't just try to milk their fans for money after they became popular.

After the second album was released, the company immediately started selecting new music show stages for them, preparing to boost their popularity again.

But before the company could decide which stage to choose, Jiang Ye received an invitation from Liang Yu.

Jiang Ye thought for a moment, forwarding Liang Yu's invitation to her manager and telling her other teammates.

"Liang Yu invited us to participate in a music festival."

"I heard that this music festival was organized by their company, and it's the first year, so they want to find people to help attract traffic."

Jiang Ye scrolled through her phone, "What do you guys think?"

Jiang Ye herself thought it was pretty good.

On the one hand, since Liang Yu personally sent the invitation, she wouldn't refuse her.

On the other hand, it's currently the off-season for music shows, there are almost no TV stages to go on, and going to the music festival would fill this gap.

But the company would definitely have to consider the financial benefits.

After all, the money they would get for performing at a music festival wouldn't be much.

If the music festival isn't popular enough and can't bring them effective traffic, then going would be a loss.

Lin Zui thought for a moment and said, "I think it's a good opportunity to promote the song."

"Are we busy with our schedule lately? If we're not busy, I think we can try it."

Cheng Zhen was also very excited, "I've never been to a music festival before! What's a music festival like? Is it fun?"

Jiang Ye: "..."

After Jiang Ye gave her a brief explanation, Cheng Zhen said, "Idols rarely go to music festivals, usually the groups that go are bands."

Cheng Zhen had a sudden idea, "Why don't we form a 5tars limited band? That way, when 5tars disbands in two years, we can still operate this band!"

"..."

The other four looked at her and quickly started discussing something else.

"I think the rap in 'Unworthy' is pretty good, it's a good choice for this song."

"Ah, I think so too! But 'Fire' is also good!"

"By the way, what are we having for dinner tonight, did you guys order takeout?"

Cheng Zhen, who was ignored: "..."

In the end, the company approved the music festival itinerary.

After Jiang Ye told Liang Yu the news, she specifically went to their big villa in advance and gave them the overall schedule and proposed program list for the music festival.

Cheng Zhen took a look and curiously asked, "Who is Little Sheep Demon King?"

"..."

"It's me."

Liang Yu said, "When I first entered the industry, my senior called me Niu Demon King, and then they told me to call myself Sheep Demon King. Because I was young at the time, everyone called me Little Sheep Demon King.

Jiang Ye: "..."

Jiang Ye couldn't help but laugh, "Then according to this naming method, I'll be Jiang Ye aka Bunny Tooth Demon King."

Liang Yu: "..."

Liang Yu: "Okay, okay, let's get to the point, you guys are definitely going to be the hottest act, so the program put you guys at the end."

"And also."

Liang Yu said seriously, "Jiang Ye."

Jiang Ye cooperated, "Present!"

"If possible."

Liang Yu said, "I want to collaborate with you on stage again."

Jiang Ye: "?"

"I just released a new song."

"This music festival is the premiere of the new song, I want to find someone to collaborate with."

"The company also agreed, they told me to find someone who could help hype up the song."

"And I thought about it, and I think you're the best fit."

Jiang Ye thought for a moment and said, "But I haven't heard your new song yet."

"It's okay."

Liang Yu patted her shoulder, her expression full of trust, "Although it's a little late to say this, but you're Jiang Ye, I think you can do it!"

Jiang Ye: "..."

She was about to say something, but then she remembered that she had promised Liang Yu this at the third performance.

At that time, Liang Yu said that no matter what, no matter how big the opportunity might be, she would collaborate with her again.

Unexpectedly, she really came to fulfill her promise.

There are definitely more suitable collaborators in Liang Yu's rapper circle than her.

But Liang Yu chose her.

There was a bit of a "I'm going to do it even if you don't want me to" vibe.

Jiang Ye laughed in her heart, and then said, "Okay, it's not impossible."

She paused slightly and then said, "But I want a raise."

Liang Yu: "?"

Jiang Ye: "Since we're friends, I can give you a 20% discount. Cash or Alipay?"

Liang Yu: "..."

"Just kidding."

Jiang Ye said, "I'm fine with it, but remember to have your company contact my company to ask about my additional appearance fee, just don't let the negotiations fall apart."

"Okay!"

"Anyway, it's the company that's paying, I don't care if they bleed a little more."

Liang Yu pointed her index finger at her brow and raised it, "Then see you at the music festival."

When the music festival officially announced that 5tars would be performing, everyone was shocked.

Their fans didn't get the news, and they didn't even have time to control the comments.

For a while, Weibo was filled with curiosity from passersby.

【5tars？？？】

【Did I see that right, isn't this a girl group?】

【Why is a girl group at a music festival?】

【I'm worried that the scalpers won't raise the ticket prices.】

【I'm speechless, how can an idol carry a music festival? Their songs aren't popular enough to be mainstream, what if they can't get the crowd going?】

【Why is Liang Yu collaborating with one of the idols? What's she thinking?】

There were also Jiang Ye's casual fans who commented.

【Although, but Jiang Ye collaborated with Liang Yu during the third performance, and the stage performance was very good.】

【Yeah, it hasn't been released yet, don't mock it before you've heard it, I remember that little sister's rap is pretty good.】

But these comments were quickly drowned out by a large number of questioning voices.

Although 5tars fans came to control the comments later.

They were met with resistance from many people who didn't follow idol groups, they all shouted for them to withdraw from the music festival.

"It's normal."

During rehearsal, Liang Yu glanced at the comments and comforted Jiang Ye, "I got scolded a lot when I first entered the industry. Besides, many people in this circle have a preconceived bias against idols."

She was silent for a while and then said, "Actually, at first, I also thought that girl groups weren't that impressive."

"But you changed my mind."

"So, I believe that when you're on stage, you'll prove yourself."

Jiang Ye was relaxed about these comments.

"It's okay, isn't this just mocking before you've seen it?"

The most intense backlash she received was when she took Lin Zui's spot during the seat selection.

She had weathered that storm, so she didn't care about these passersby's mockery.

Liang Yu was relieved to hear this, and then she heard Jiang Ye's next sentence, "Anyway, I'm just here to support you. If I get scolded really badly, you won't be much better off."

She paused and said in a very desperate tone, "We'll die together if we have to."

Liang Yu: "..."

On the day of the music festival, the venue was packed with spectators.

This was the first year the music festival was held, and they invited 5tars to perform, so two-thirds of the audience were 5tars' fans.

But besides these fans, there were also quite a few music festival fans who considered themselves to be at the top of the food chain and looked down on idols.

In their eyes, girl group idols are just there to smile, show off their bodies, and flirt with the audience to make money, what are they doing at a music festival? Are they expecting to gain fans?

Ha!

Go back to your handshake events, don't come here and pollute this sacred ground of music.

They not only thought this in their hearts.

They also said it out loud.

5tars' fans, in order to prevent them from hearing these nasty words, started to shout their names loudly.

But the louder the fans shouted, the more they rebelled, and the louder they spoke.

Jiang Ye heard the unkind whistles from the audience before she even went on stage.

Cheng Zhen was very scared, "They won't throw rotten eggs at the stage, will they?"

Everyone: "..."

No way, no way.

Jiang Ye didn't even blink, she adjusted her microphone and said, "Anyway, Liang Yu and I will go first, let us test the waters for you guys."

"If I die a horrible death."

She tilted her head and smiled, "Remember to collect my body."

"..."

Lin Zui nodded and smiled, "Okay, we'll be your backup team in the back."

Jiang Ye and Liang Yu took the stage.

They were both wearing similar outfits this time, denim shorts and backwards hats.

After they appeared on stage, Jiang Ye first did a hip-hop greeting gesture with Liang Yu.

The people in the audience who looked down on Jiang Ye were a little dazed.

At least her introduction was good.

Maybe she really has some skills?

The music started.

Liang Yu's previous rap style was always a little fierce.

But the style of this song was more relaxed, with a playful, humorous, and witty feel.

This was also why she chose Jiang Ye to collaborate with her on this song.

Other seniors might not be able to grasp this style.

But Jiang Ye is a girl group member, this relaxed style would actually suit her very well.

Liang Yu started the first verse.

She set the tone and received cheers from the audience.

Many of 5tars' fans had followed Chasing Light Girls, and they felt a little sorry for Liang Yu who was eliminated during the ranking, so they all cheered for her.

But many other onlookers clapped for Liang Yu while waiting to see Jiang Ye's performance.

They had taken years to recognize Liang Yu's skills and were convinced.

But this girl group idol obviously wasn't good.

Who gave her the guts to collaborate with Liang Yu?

Isn't she afraid of getting beaten?

But when Jiang Ye started rapping, the onlookers who were already holding up their phones to record the car crash and prepare to post it on the forum to mock her were suddenly stunned.

Her rap style was slightly different from Liang Yu's, it wasn't the style of a rapper cultivated in the hip-hop circle, but it was unexpectedly suitable for Liang Yu's song.

Her flow and enunciation were both very good, it was professional level.

And her stage control was truly amazing.

The music festival stage did not have dedicated cameras.

But Jiang Ye looked down at the audience, smiled slightly, and it felt like she really saw you.

When Jiang Ye and Liang Yu rapped together, she wasn't overshadowed by Liang Yu at all, instead, she performed the style of the song to the fullest with her.

The screams from the audience exploded.

"Ah ah ah ah ah, Mom loves you!!!"

"Damn, damn, damn, I'm dead, I'm dead, Human King Jiang Ye is not just hype, ah ah ah ah, Mom, I've missed your rap so much, I'm crazy about it!!!"

"How can my wife be so cool and so cute at the same time, wuwuwu!!!"

Jiang Ye's fans in the audience shouted her name until their voices were hoarse.

And the onlookers who were holding up their phones to record the car crash but ended up recording an amazing performance couldn't help but sweat.

"Uh..."

"It seems, actually, maybe, maybe..."

"It's actually pretty good?"
