I’m Really a Superstar

The song ended.

"Great!"

"Great singing!"

"It was so nice to listen to!"

"This song is so well-written!"

"How awesome!"

"Yeah, there is brilliant talent among the people!"

"A random parent who went up on stage is this amazing? I\'m impressed!"

Everyone applauded loudly. Many of the children were also clapping with all their might!

Suddenly, someone who was staring intently at Zhang Ye\'s face shouted, "Damn, what do you mean by there is brilliant talent among the people? Is, isn\'t that goddamn Teacher Zhang Ye?"

"Ah, he really looks like him!"

"What do you mean he looks like him? It is him!"

"It really is Zhang Ye!"

"Holy shit, Zhang Ye is here!"

"What?! I was wondering how a normal parent could write a song!"

The audience erupted into shouting!

A lot of people in the amusement park rushed over upon hearing the news.

The host, Yuan Meng, was stunned. "Teacher Zhang?"

The band and music teachers from the Central Conservatory of Music were also shocked!

By now, Zhang Ye had taken off his aviators knowing that it was pointless to wear them. When the people saw that it was really him, screaming again came from the crowd.

"Zhang Ye has made an appearance here!"

"Quick, come and see!"

"Oh my god, I\'ve finally seen Zhang Ye in person!"

"This is my first time seeing an A-lister!"

The stage was surrounded by a large crowd of people!

Yuan Meng was very happy as she did not expect that she would meet a big shot like Zhang Ye while doing an outdoor live broadcast show. This was like the pie in the sky falling down, and it would definitely pull up her show\'s listenership ratings. "Teacher Zhang Ye, would you like to say something to the live audience and radio listeners?"

Zhang Ye plucked Chenchen off his shoulders with a smile and patted her head. "Hai, I won\'t say anything much or delay everyone\'s time. I was just bringing this kid out to play today. Since she said that she wanted that first place prize, how could I say no? Even if I had to risk my life, I would still have to win it."

Yuan Meng asked, "What\'s the title of this song? How could it be so good?"

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "It\'s called \'The King Sent Me on Mountain Patrol.\' Hur hur, I\'ve written it just for my king."

"You mean this girl is your king?" Yuan Meng looked at Chenchen with a smile.

Zhang Ye replied happily, "Yes."

Yuan Meng said, feeling a little moved, "You\'re so good to your daughter."

Zhang Ye waved it off and said, "Hai, all parents are the same."

Chenchen said, "Can you give me that Big Bear already?"

Embarrassed, Yuan Meng said, "But there are still four more groups to go."

Chenchen gave an "oh" in disappointment.

"Alright, please proceed with the contest." Zhang Ye led the child off the stage. The moment they left the stage, they were surrounded by a group of people asking for his autograph. As he couldn\'t reject them, he signed for them one by one.

Shortly afterwards, the contest finished.

After the three judges and the band had a round of discussion, the results of the top three were soon decided!

Zhang Ye had gotten first place!

It was not because of his fame or some preferential treatment. Anyone who heard that song would know that first place was definitely his. His song was really good and was even an original. Moreover, this was also his first time performing it in public, so who else should get first place if not him?

The prizes were given out after that.

Zhang Ye smiled as he received the prize and then stuffed it into Chenchen\'s arms. "Here, I won it."

Chenchen instantly grabbed the Big Bear, which was nearly as tall as her, into her arms.

At the moment, the little girl who had talked to her earlier was holding her parents\' hands as she stared fixedly at the Big Bear in envy. She could not help but approach. "Big Sis, your daddy treats you real well."

Chenchen said helplessly, "I\'ve already told you that he\'s not my daddy."

The little girl nodded, then gulped. "Then, then can I touch Big Bear for a little bit?"

Chenchen looked at her and then placed the Big Bear into her arms. "I\'ll give it to you."

The little girl exclaimed in surprise, "Ah? Really?"

Her parents quickly said, "No, no, that won\'t do!"

Chenchen said, "This is just a toy for little kids to play with. I don\'t play with such things, so you can have it."

Big Bear was so big that the little girl couldn\'t quite wrap her arms around it, so she fell the ground with a heavy thud. However, joy lit up on her face as she said, "Thank you, Big Sis! Thank you, Big Sis!"

Chenchen tugged at Zhang Ye\'s arm and said, "Zhang Ye, let\'s go."

Zhang Ye asked, "What do you want to do next?"

Chenchen pouted and said, "You\'ve been recognized by others, so how can we still have fun with anything?"

Zhang Ye laughed and said, "Alright, blame it on me. Let\'s go home then."

"Zhang Ye."

"What\'s the matter?"

"Sing that again."

"Yes, my king."

At the amusement park, several hundred people were taking pictures and recording videos of the young and old duo with their cell phones. The adult was holding the child\'s hand as they left the amusement park, singing as they walked out of the place.

"The king sent me on mountain patrol!

"To capture a monk as his dinner roll!

"This mountain stream is so sweet that I don\'t envy couples or immortals!"

...

On Weibo.

There was a heated discussion happening!

An article on Weibo titled "Zhang Ye\'s surprise appearance at the Central Radio Children\'s Channel live broadcast event" immediately started trending and the song played on the radio was posted as well.

Numerous netizens also posted threads on Weibo and shared their pictures from the event.

"I got Zhang Ye\'s autograph!"

"Come and see! We bumped into Teacher Zhang at Beijing Amusement Park!"

"Video clip of Zhang Ye\'s singing on stage! Come quick!"

Picture after picture!

Video after video!

This song titled "The King Sent Me to Mountain Patrol" was trending all over Weibo!

"It\'s so incredible!"

"Zhang Ye is indeed Zhang Ye!"

"Haha, Teacher Zhang released a new song?"

"Why didn\'t he distribute the song over the Internet or through publishers? There weren\'t any promotions either? He just went up onstage to sing after chancing upon a minor singing contest? Isn\'t this a little too carefree? Uh, why do I seem to think that the fellow wrote that song on the spot?"

"Since when did Zhang Ye have a kid?"

"That little girl is a relative of his or the child of his friend, right? I know who she is."

"I know her too. That little girl previously led a group of her classmates and cracked the largest burglary case that startled the nation!"

"That\'s right, it\'s her!"

"Pfft, I remember too now!"

"I wonder why her parents are not with her, but it seems that Zhang Ye occasionally takes care of her and sometimes takes her to and from school. He has also attended her school\'s parent-teacher meetings. That was reported on the news before."

"This song is really funny, hahaha!"

"I don\'t think it\'s funny. I find it very touching instead."

"Me too! I was really touched by the song!"

"The person I respect the most in the entertainment industry is Zhang Ye. Although the fellow is always insulting people, picking fights, starting trouble, and constantly kicking up a fuss, I believe that everyone in the entertainment industry isn\'t what they seem like on the surface, except for Zhang Ye. I really believe that to be true. He is truly a good person who wouldn\'t hesitate to speak up about right and wrong."

"My son also listened to that song and he really likes it!"

"It\'s Children\'s Day today. I must give a Like to Zhang Ye!"

"Yes, Teacher Zhang Ye is a very good person."

"Yeah, he treats kids really well."

"Even though she\'s not his own daughter, he still treats her so well and specially wrote a song to make her happy. My impression of Zhang Ye has changed now, and I\'ll try my best not to criticize him in the future."

"It\'s so full of positive energy!"

"It\'s so full of Teacher Zhang\'s spirit!"

"This song is really amazing!"

The remarks online were all positive!

The netizens were all giving rave reviews to Zhang Ye and his song!

It was probably due to the alignment of many factors, but "The King Sent Me on Mountain Patrol" had incredibly squeezed into the Top Chinese Music Chart within just two short hours!

It was placed at #7 on the daily chart!

It even pushed one of Sunset Glow\'s songs down the rankings!

And the numbers kept increasing with more and more people listening to it!

With the Children\'s Day festivities in full swing, this song became popular very quickly!

#6…

#5…

#4…

A dark horse emerged and appeared against all odds on the Top Chinese Music Chart that had been mainly occupied by songs from King of Masked Singers for the past few weeks!

Many of the industry insiders were dumbfounded by what they saw!

However, most of them were already used to it. This was Zhang Ye, and one would never be able to measure him through common sense. Even if everyone thought that something was impossible or would not do well, when it got handled by Zhang Ye, he would complete it with earth-shattering results. There was no logic in how he did things and no amount of logic could be used to explain it!

For a time.

This song was heard all over the streets and on the radio stations!

It was so catchy that some people even learned how to sing it after just listening to it three or four times!

...

In a neighborhood.

"Daddy, hurry up and learn this song!"

"But Daddy doesn\'t know how to sing."

"I don\'t care! You must learn it!"

"But why?"

"Because I\'m going to be your king!"

"Hahaha, alright, alright. Daddy will learn it just for you!"

...

People in the entertainment circle also started talking about it.

Zhang Xia posted on Weibo, "Recommending a song to everyone. \'The King Sent Me on Mountain Patrol\' is a really nice song to listen to."

Chen Guang replied to her post below: "Grandma Zhang has already listened to the song? Haha, I\'ve also just finished listening to it. It is indeed quite good. I only just found out that Director Zhang can even write songs of this genre. He\'s impressed me again. But Director Zhang\'s singing is still as terrible and he can\'t control his breathing that well. I\'ve got to give him some pointers soon!"

Xiaodong: "@ZhangYe Teacher Zhang, can you seriously practice your singing to become better? Although, the song\'s really good and I found it quite enjoyable. If I were to cover it, please don\'t charge me a copyright fee!"

Fan Wenli: "\'The King Sent Me on Mountain Patrol\' is already #3 on the Top Chinese Music Chart! Congratulations, Director Zhang!"

Dong Shanshan: "What a nice song!"

Amy: "Teacher Zhang, you\'re amazing! Please write a song for us again!"

This song also received rave reviews from the industry!

Of course, quite a few people also ridiculed Zhang Ye\'s singing. Be it "A Letter to Home" or "The King Sent Me on Mountain Patrol," these two songs were the only times Zhang Ye used his true identity to perform in public. They all felt that Zhang Ye\'s performance had no singing skill to speak of at all!

When the people saw that, they were also amused.

"Haha, his singing is really a little terrible!"

"So Teacher Zhang also has his shortcomings!"

"It\'s just a children\'s song. What singing skills are needed!"

"It\'s not like Teacher Zhang\'s a professional singer. Not going off-key is already pretty good!"

"Eh, I have an idea."

"What is it?"

"Do you guys think that those songs sung by The Clown on King of Masked Singers were written by Teacher Zhang Ye? If not, where could he have gotten so many originals?"

"That might be possible!"

"Right, that\'s really a possibility!"

Soon after, Zhang Ye\'s Weibo was updated.

He posted: "Thank you, everyone. Thank you to all my friends and fellow peers for your support. This song was only meant to cheer up the children. I did not expect that it would cause such a big commotion. It was really unexpected that the song could even get to #3 on the Top Chinese Music Chart. You all have given me such a shock, haha. Anyway, I will use this song to wish all the children in our country a happy Children\'s Day!"
