"Generally speaking, in ancient style arrangements, everyone commonly uses the five tones, that is, Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi, Yu. But this song extensively features notes outside of the five tones. From this perspective, it's not very ancient style."
"This is a very high-level composition technique, requiring the composer to have a profound understanding of music."
"As for the highly unified melodies and clear, distinct sections, I won't elaborate further. The composition of this song, even without any instruments to create a solemn atmosphere, can still convey that feeling. Speaking of which, it brings me to another aspect that shocked me the most: this ancient style song doesn't use any traditional Chinese instruments; it's entirely composed of Western instruments!"
By the end of her speech, Jiang Qian's voice was trembling with excitement.
Indeed, this song, which was exquisitely ancient in style, was played entirely with Western instruments. This fact alone was enough to make professionals revere it!
The guitar sound represented solemnity.
The piano expressed a sense of desolation.
Even the rhythm patterns of the drums were not typical of ancient style songs.
"Hiss... I knew something felt off!"
"That's right, the intro was guitar, and I didn't hear any traditional instruments like the guqin or erhu in the rest of it. If Teacher Jiang Qian hadn't pointed it out, I would probably never have thought about it!"
"Damn, goosebumps! A song with such ancient style charm wasn't written using traditional ancient style songwriting methods. Ting Yu is truly a genius!"
At this point, the audience finally realized what Jiang Qian meant by "astonishingly brilliant."
This was another groundbreaking, innovative masterpiece!
Combined with Jiang Qian's analysis and the magical integration of rap.
Ting Yu had truly taken ancient style to new heights.
"There are many more details. After I research them further, I'll post another Weibo. I have a feeling this song might subvert the understanding of producers in the ancient style genre."
"And the score I'm giving to 'Fireworks are Cold' is 9.9 points!"
Boom!
After a brief silence, all the audience members erupted!
Based on the previous few matches, with Jiang Qian's words and her score, Ting Yu was highly likely to win the city championship!
Jiang Qian's high praise for Su Yu was nothing new.
She was famously known as a "Yu fan."
However, her directly awarding a high score of 9.9 was unexpected by everyone.
After all, in artistic fields, a perfect score was considered impossible.
A score of 9.9 was already the highest possible mark!
"Next, please invite the judging panel to… score!"
The host continued with the proceedings, but his eyes were teary, and for the first time, his speech was faltering.
As Ting Yu's most loyal fan, he was about to witness Ting Yu ascend to godhood.
How could he not be excited!
On the big screen.
The vote tallies were already appearing.
The numbers behind the two names were rapidly increasing.
In the singer group area.
Gong Ju Ren held up a banner, his knuckles white from gripping it, staring intently at the big screen.
Others also held their breath, visibly tense.
The venue fell silent!
All eyes were fixed on the big screen.
Would Gu Yun, who had popularized the ancient style, defeat Ting Yu and win the city championship?
Or would Ting Yu hold his ground, crush all the ace producers, and achieve deification in the finals?
The answer was about to be revealed!
Ding!
At the same moment.
The numbers on the big screen suddenly froze!
The final results appeared before everyone's eyes.
Ting Yu: 2125 votes.
Gu Yun: 1845 votes.
The venue was silent for about three seconds.
Then, deafening cheers erupted.
Everyone stood up!!
The cheers swept through the venue of a hundred thousand people like a tidal wave!
"Yu Ge is awesome!!!" Gong Ju Ren was the first to react.
Holding his banner, he rushed towards Su Yu on stage like a madman!
"We won! We won!"
Jiang Xiao E and the other members of the singer group followed suit and rushed forward!
Su Yu, who hadn't felt much about winning the championship, was stunned when he saw the excitement on his friends' faces.
At that moment, Gong Ju Ren hugged him tightly, followed by Zhao De Zhou Tao and others who also rushed to embrace him, instantly surrounding him in the center of the singer group.
"God of Songs!"
"God of Songs!"
"God of Songs!"
Everyone shouted these words with hoarse voices!
Although Su Yu felt a bit suffocated being surrounded, a sense of happiness he had never experienced before rose from the depths of his heart.
Damn, he even teared up by accident…
Fortunately, being in the center, no one could see.
...
"He won! Ting Yu won!"
"Damn, awesome, Ting Yu is awesome, deified!"
"Hahaha, he finally won!"
"He did it, he really did it!"
"Although I had a feeling, to reach this moment still leaves me inexpressibly excited!"
"At the age of nineteen, Ting Yu becomes the fifth God of Songs in the Chinese music industry!"
"Damn, Ting Yu won with a calm expression, but it made me cry hysterically…"
The audience members roared in celebration!
Waving their hands frantically!
This was Ting Yu's stage!
This was Ting Yu's night!
At this moment, Ting Yu was a god!!
...
At the same moment.
On the campus of Qing University.
An earth-shattering cheer erupted.
All the Qing University students stood up from their seats, waving their hands and letting out shouts!
"Su Yu is awesome!!"
"Damn, goosebumps, the youngest God of Songs!"
"Su Yu is the pride of Qing University!"
"Awesome is all there is to it!!"
At this moment.
Both students and school teachers were filled with emotion, their eyes red.
Even Principal Zhao Jianguo was choked up, his eyes glistening with tears.
...
Star Brilliance Entertainment.
The cheers that erupted could be heard throughout the entire building!
"Haha, I'm a colleague of the God of Songs!"
"The God of Songs bought me milk tea once; I can brag about it for a lifetime!"
"At this moment, Su Yu becomes the youngest God of Songs in the Chinese music industry!"
"Let's go, it's my treat! We won't go home until we're drunk tonight!!"
Although Su Yu rarely visited Star Brilliance.
He was very friendly to his colleagues at Star Brilliance.
Everyone treated him as a friend.
His victory.
Naturally made everyone happy!
...
After an unknown amount of time.
The shouts and cheers from the venue showed no signs of abating.
The initially scattered sounds, from some point onward, became a synchronized chant!
"Ting Yu!"
"Ting Yu!"
"Ting Yu!!"
The chants grew stronger and stronger like a tidal wave!
When they reached a certain critical point.
Boom!!
Brilliant and dazzling fireworks suddenly exploded at the top of the venue!
A flash of dazzling light.
A gleaming golden trophy on the stage was lowered slowly.
In everyone's gaze.
It landed steadily on the golden platform!
This was the trophy belonging to the God of Songs!
This was the honor belonging to Su Yu!
At this moment.
The cheers gradually subsided.
All eyes turned to Su Yu.
The members of the singer group also consciously stepped aside, revealing him.
