"Welcome to the second episode of Ace City Competition, I'm your host, Lin Han!"
After the host's opening remarks.
The audience below erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.
They had waited a full two weeks for this episode. Big Wind Novel
Over the past two weeks, online speculation about the competition results had been divided.
Ting Yu's fans naturally believed in Ting Yu completely.
After all, so many brilliant achievements were on display.
However, many analyses online did not favor Ting Yu. This time, Ting Yu was writing an inspirational song he had never released before. From this perspective, his chances of winning against Li Shaojun, who had become an online producer with inspirational songs, were indeed not high.
This episode featured a competition between only Su Yu and Li Shaojun.
However, the other four Ace Producers would be present in the spectator area.
In addition to them, there were two thousand professional judges.
Their votes would decide the ultimate winner.
As for Song God Jiang Qian and the three senior Ace Producers,
They would appear in the official competition after the regional rounds were concluded.
After all, with five competition zones starting simultaneously, she couldn't be everywhere. Moreover, a competition of this level was not enough to warrant her appearance.
"Now, please welcome our contestants onto the stage!"
After the host finished speaking, a group of Ace Producers emerged from backstage.
"Ting Yu! Ting Yu!"
"Ting Yu is finally out!"
"Ahhhhh! My husband is so handsome!"
"You wish, Ting Yu is mine!"
"Hmph, you're fighting over my husband, did you ask me?"
"Stop arguing, Ting Yu belongs to all of us female fans!"
"Ahem... As a male fan, I must express my dissatisfaction..."
The moment Su Yu appeared.
His popularity was vividly displayed.
His song "Chasing the Light" had attracted a large wave of female fans.
These fans were far more professional at chasing stars than male fans.
They had even prepared many support light boards.
Throughout the stadium, the support slogan "Yilou Tingyan Yu" was everywhere.
On-site, his fans' voices were more than a notch higher than everyone else's.
"Let's see if you can still shout that out later."
Li Shaojun showed disdain.
The deafening cheers from the venue made his ears ache.
However, he was not in a hurry.
Once he won, these noisy fans would have to shut up.
"Haha, do the two of you have anything you'd like to say to your fans?"
While marveling at Ting Yu's popularity, the host continued with the competition flow.
He first approached Li Shaojun.
The latter understood and, holding the microphone, chuckled, "I haven't released a new song in a few years, so I believe everyone has been waiting for a long time. Trust me, today's song will not disappoint you!"
After Li Shaojun finished speaking.
He waited for the cheers from the fans below.
However.
Compared to the roar for Ting Yu just moments ago, it was a world of difference.
There were only a few scattered audiences waving light boards, and a large portion were fans of his collaborating singer, Du Chunsheng.
This was also normal.
Although Ace Producers were highly respected in the industry,
For ordinary people, they paid more attention to the singer.
After all, a producer was a behind-the-scenes job.
Few people would bother to learn about the producer behind a song.
In this line of work, unless one reached the level of a Song God, they would not be widely known by the public. The fans of Ace Producers might be fewer than those of A-list singers.
However, in the eyes of A-list singers, Ace Producers were undoubtedly their benefactors!
This was because they needed good songs, and Ace Producers were the ones who could write them.
"Ahem... Next, Teacher Ting Yu, is there anything you'd like to say to your fans?" The host, to avoid awkwardness, quickly moved to Su Yu's side.
"I won't say too many words of thanks. I hope everyone will enjoy the song that Xiao Gong will be singing next..."
Boom!
Before he could even finish speaking.
The enthusiastic fans below erupted in thunderous cheers.
To the extent that Su Yu had to pause.
The host's forehead was covered in black lines.
In comparison, Li Shaojun seemed even more awkward.
Producers were indeed not that popular.
But Ting Yu was an exception.
Firstly, his achievements were too dazzling.
Secondly, most of the singers he collaborated with were newcomers without fans. When singers without fans sang his songs, it naturally allowed the public to shift their attention to him as the producer.
Also, after his identity was revealed, the CP fans of him and Lin Yanyu automatically merged into the fan base of Ting Yu.
Ting Yu had undoubtedly set a textbook example for various producers on how to become famous.
However, this method would be difficult to replicate.
"Next, please have the two producers take their seats in the spectator area."
The host continued with the procedures.
Then he began to introduce the competition rules.
He mentioned a lot about the various sponsors.
Finally, the competition officially began!
"I now announce that the competition officially starts. Please welcome Teacher Li Shaojun's collaborating singer Du Chunsheng to bring you their song."
After the host finished speaking.
Singer Su Yu's collaborating singer, Du Chunsheng, holding his exclusive microphone, walked to the center of the stage.
Du Chunsheng was already a super-A-list singer.
His singing skills were naturally impeccable.
He had collaborated with Li Shaojun several times.
This time, singing a song written by Li Shaojun, he was confident.
As for his opponent, Gong Juren, he didn't take him seriously at all.
Although this kid had the popularity of an A-list singer, his qualifications were very shallow, and he could only be considered a newcomer in the Chinese music scene.
Du Chunsheng felt that this person had gained his current popularity purely by luck and by being valued by Ting Yu.
Gong Juren's fame had nothing to do with himself.
It was entirely due to Ting Yu's help.
From this perspective, he was more than one level superior to Gong Juren as a singer.
The performance began.
The song information appeared on the big screen.
"Dream vs. Reality"
The accompaniment started.
Du Chunsheng began to sing.
The song was generally about dreams and youth.
Youth itself was the synonym for dreams.
The overall tone of the song leaned towards sadness,
Telling the story of an ordinary person crushed by dreams.
It had to be said that this Ace Producer, Li Shaojun, was truly strong.
The theme he chose was very resonant.
Many people had been bent by life and had to give up their dreams.
His expression of this through song naturally resonated with many.
At the same time, the melody of this song was also very catchy.
A few minutes later.
Shen Chunsheng finished singing.
He bowed to the audience.
The audience below immediately erupted in warm applause!
These applause were countless times louder than before!
Regarding this reaction.
Li Shaojun immediately showed a smug smile. He glanced at Su Yu, who had a poker face, and his smile stiffened.
Was this kid feigning composure, or was he truly confident?
