After the system upgrade, the prestige was gone, but this was a good thing for Su Yu.
The prestige function was used for ranking in the early stage. In the later stage, almost every song he released had a theme, making customization very convenient.
And now, customizing songs had a price of five million, which showed the system was quite considerate.
Five million might be a lot for ordinary people, but for him now, it was nothing.
As he released more and more songs, his monthly after-tax income was approaching two hundred million.
Although the popularity of his previous songs had declined and the revenue was falling, as long as he was diligent, breaking through two hundred million was not a problem.
“System, how much have I donated to charity funds?”
He had been donating since he started making money, but he hadn’t paid much attention to how much he had donated.
He remembered feeling a pang every time he donated before.
Su Yu suddenly felt a bit arrogant.
【Ding, host has cumulatively donated 628.5 million yuan to charity funds.】
The system’s voice sounded.
Su Yu nodded in admiration.
So, he had already donated so much.
The online rumor that he was a positive energy idol was easy to accept.
After all, if donating so much wasn’t positive energy, then nothing was.
…
End of September.
News about October was everywhere.
The most anticipated was naturally the movie "Huo Yuanjia" invested in by the Martial Arts Association and written by scriptwriter Jiangnan.
This movie not only had the popular writer Jiangnan as the scriptwriter but also a theme song of the same name, "Huo Yuanjia," tailor-made by Ting Yu for the film.
Due to the relationship between the Martial Arts Association and the official channels.
It was scheduled to be released in mid-October.
The filming of this movie was short, but the time was fully utilized. Because of the storyboards, the crew was arranged in an orderly manner, and filming was immediately handed over to post-production. In this high-intensity filming, they actually managed to complete the film.
It had to be said that the business capabilities of the veteran actors were indeed impressive, and the new actors were also very dedicated. The fact that it was filmed so quickly was also largely due to their professionalism.
The crew was currently in the final stages.
Since the post-production followed the filming, it was almost done.
After more than half a month of high-intensity work, director Zhang Li had lost seven or eight catties. However, although he looked tired, he was in a very good mood.
Since "Sword and Fairy," he had finally experienced the joy of being a tool-man director. With a detailed script and unbelievably detailed storyboards, all he had to do was control the scene.
Moreover, there were no temperamental traffic stars, nor were there any pampered actors who would stop working if they cut their fingers. There were only dedicated veteran actors and energetic newcomers.
This was a feeling he had never experienced in his many years as a director.
Tired but happy!
“Director Zhang, won’t you treat us to a meal after the wrap-up?” the lead actor Wu Xingyang said, dragging his tired body to Zhang Li’s side.
Filming "Huo Yuanjia" was the most exhausting yet most satisfying experience of his acting career.
He had thoroughly satisfied his acting addiction, and only had to focus on filming without any other worries. Everyone was working hard, and despite the exhaustion, they were still full of energy.
“Okay, call everyone. I’ll treat this time!” Zhang Li stood up and laughed heartily.
The remaining work for the month was post-production.
Being able to complete it in such a short time was a record in itself.
Not only was little time used, but the quality was also very high.
When "Huo Yuanjia" was released, it would likely cause a huge sensation.
With everything going smoothly, Director Zhang Li was naturally happy, and treating everyone to a meal was a small matter.
“Long live Director Zhang!”
“Haha, let’s eat to our heart’s content tonight!”
“I lost ten catties after a month of high-intensity filming, so I need to feast tonight to make up for it!”
Hearing Zhang Li’s words, the crew members cheered.
Then they started packing up their things in an orderly manner.
…
During this period, the Chinese music scene seemed to have revitalized.
With the emergence of one hit music program after another.
Coupled with the impact of various high-quality songs.
The Chinese music scene was now truly vibrant.
Producers who had been dormant for a long time emerged to release songs, and the kings of songs became active again.
The market share of those disposable songs was gradually shrinking.
Truly good songs were very enduring because people could find resonance in them. Even if they got tired of listening to them after a long time, when they listened again after a period, they would have different insights.
Disposable songs, on the other hand, were different. They might sound good at first, but after listening for a while, they would become tiresome, and even annoying. This was because these songs might catch the ear with their melodies, but they could not evoke resonance in people.
The official city competition was undoubtedly the most correct decision.
With just one competition, the market was completely activated.
And the greatest contributor to this was undoubtedly the super popular ace producer, Ting Yu!
Producers who meticulously crafted songs were impacted by the era of traffic, leading to their songs earning less than mass-produced songs. Over time, everyone’s enthusiasm for releasing music gradually decreased, and the market entered a slump.
At this time, Ting Yu emerged, releasing several high-quality songs in a row, showing everyone that quality could also triumph over disposable songs.
Coupled with the emergence of a large number of high-quality songs in the city competition, the entire market was completely revitalized.
Now, it had truly reached a prosperous era of blooming flowers.
Perhaps this was why Ting Yu was loved by so many people.
He had forcibly raised the musical aesthetic of netizens, bringing their taste back to the mainstream.
Moreover, he had done so much for traditional culture.
Not only netizens liked him, but many producers in the industry also admired him greatly.
“It’s been about a year since Ting Yu’s first song, hasn’t it? In one year, he has turned the entire Chinese music scene from the twilight of gods into a battle of deities.”
“When the officials were promoting ancient Chinese styles, Ting Yu began to show his edge. Now that he has collaborated with the officials so many times, Ting Yu is truly worthy of the words ‘future is promising’.”
“What future is promising? He’s about to become the Song God.”
“Haha, Shen Jinghong won’t let him win the championship so easily, after all, Shen Jinghong is Guyun.”
“The peak battle between these two producers who have made great contributions to ancient styles is truly exciting!”
The finals of the city competition were just around the corner.
Online, many industry insiders were analyzing who would win the finals.
Many supported Ting Yu, and quite a few supported Shen Jinghong.
After all, Shen Jinghong was Guyun, and Guyun was the one who truly brought ancient Chinese styles to the mainstream.
Moreover, both of them were still very young.
Both had great room for growth.
No matter who won the Song God title, it would be a blessing for the Chinese music scene.
However, relatively speaking, there were more supporters for Ting Yu.
After all, his current popularity was too high!
