Li Shi and Zhen Jian were brothers.
They were drinking beer and watching TV.
Originally, they had been on edge.
Because they couldn't control the situation.
When those keyboard warriors were attacking Su Yu, they also attacked Lin Chaoyang.
The two had been praying that Lin Chaoyang would not bother them.
After waiting for a few days, nothing happened, and they gradually felt relieved.
"Haha, it seems Lin Chaoyang didn't bother with us."
"It's normal, he's a big shot, why would he care about small fries like us."
"Are we still going on the show tomorrow?"
"Of course, not taking money is a scumbag's act."
"Haha, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Today was Ting Yu's first appearance.
As singers, they were naturally interested in this popular producer.
When Ting Yu came out from backstage,
The two of them leaned closer to the screen, their faces full of anticipation.
And when the spotlight lit up,
Ting Yu's face appeared on the screen.
Li Shi and Zhen Jian were completely stunned.
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
The beer bottles in their hands fell to the ground.
Shattering!
The two of them rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
"Oh my god!"
"Holy crap!"
They exclaimed in unison.
And collapsed onto the ground.
"Brother Li, wha… what do we do?" Zhen Jian panicked, his voice trembling involuntarily.
Su Yu was Ting Yu!!
This was outrageous!!
How could it be!!
"Delete the Weibo posts quickly!" Li Shi quickly took out his phone.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
It startled him so much that he almost dropped his phone.
After steadying it, Li Shi looked at it.
It was his agency calling.
"Hello…" he answered, in a low voice.
"Hello what! You two are finished this time! Remember, from now on, you have nothing to do with our company!!"
After speaking, the person on the other end hung up.
Li Shi and Zhen Jian exchanged glances, and before they could speak,
The phone rang again.
It was an unknown number.
Li Shi answered, and
The voice on the other end immediately started cursing: "F*ck you, *****..."
This call hadn't even ended,
When another call came in.
At this moment, Zhen Jian's phone also rang.
The two of them were overwhelmed.
These were all work numbers, and only people from their professional circles knew them.
After taking a few calls,
They were all scolding them.
In just two minutes,
Their entire family tree had been insulted.
Helplessly, they had to turn off their phones.
"What do we do?"
"How the hell would I know!"
They realized they seemed to be victims of cyberbullying...
...
On stage,
Su Yu looked at the frenzied audience below,
But his heart was as calm as still water.
【Host should be happy being admired by so many people.】
The system's voice sounded in his mind.
"Yes, I should be happy."
Su Yu replied mentally.
His current life was good, with parents, loved ones, and a group of brothers and friends who treated him well.
Now that his identity as Ting Yu was exposed, they no longer had to worry about him, nor would they feel sad about him being scolded.
Su Yu was indeed happy.
Because, this was truly what he wanted in his heart.
【No emotional fluctuation detected from Su Yu.】
"That's not important."
Su Yu smiled.
"System, do you think there will be a day when I can sing my own song on stage?"
He only knew that he was a superstar in his previous life,
But he didn't know who it was.
He couldn't remember a single song from his previous life.
The memories in his mind became more and more hazy as the seal slowly unlocked.
Even the memories that were originally clear in his mind began to feel unreal.
At this moment,
The system fell silent.
Su Yu shook his head with a bitter smile.
It seemed a bit difficult.
【There is.】
Suddenly, the system said.
Su Yu was stunned at first.
Then, a brilliant smile bloomed on his face!
There is.
That's enough!
...
"Haha, it seems everyone, like me, is shocked by the identity of Teacher Ting Yu."
On stage, the host finally managed to close his gaping mouth after a long while.
Ting Yu's true identity was the program team's trump card to attract viewers.
It was hidden very deeply.
They had even arranged a separate lounge for him, and even he, the host, only found out now.
"Teacher... Teacher Ting Yu, is there anything you'd like to say to the audience and fans?" The host quickly got into character.
He was a loyal fan of Ting Yu, and standing next to Ting Yu now, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
After the host finished speaking,
The audience below instantly quieted down.
Everyone looked at Su Yu.
Silently waiting.
Su Yu held the microphone.
He glanced at the audience present, then skillfully moved to the camera position and looked into the lens.
"I originally planned to interact with you as an ordinary person, but you forced me to reveal myself, I really can't do anything about you..."
Su Yu said with a half-joking tone.
The audience below burst into laughter.
The fans knew he was responding to the keyboard warriors with that sentence,
And they let out enthusiastic cheers.
Our great Ting Yu didn't want to be so high-profile.
It was all the fault of those keyboard warriors who forced him.
"When I used the identity of Ting Yu, I just wanted you to pay more attention to my work, not my handsome face. Alas, it's exposed now, but please remember, although I can be an idol, I have always been a实力派 (powerhouse/artist with substance)."
Su Yu sighed lightly and said seriously.
After he said this,
The audience below fell into dead silence.
???
Do you hear what people are saying??
The idol status that countless fresh meat stars fought tooth and nail to achieve is worthless in your eyes?
Although the audience thought he was bragging, they couldn't find any reason to refute him.
First of all, the identity of Ting Yu had already proven his ability.
And he was indeed a great beauty.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the ceiling of the entertainment industry's looks.
How could they refute this?
No refutation was possible.
"Ahem... Teacher Ting Yu, could you tell us why you've come to participate in the competition this time?"
The host, feeling his scalp tingle from Su Yu's words, nervously asked the next question.
"Why else, of course, it's to win the championship. I'm quite interested in the position of Music God."
Su Yu said with a smile.
Below the stage,
There was a burst of discussion!
"Holy cow, is he that brave?"
"He really dares to say that, thinking about the championship before the competition even begins?"
"Isn't he afraid of being embarrassed if he loses?"
"He doesn't even leave himself a way out..."
Although the audience found Su Yu's words domineering, they also felt he had spoken too boldly.
The contestants participating this time were all ace producers.
Each had their own unique skills.
Winning the championship wasn't that easy...
On stage, the other five contestants also showed cold smiles.
"This Ting Yu is indeed too young and impetuous, saying such things so easily."
"Let him be arrogant, it will make defeating him even more impactful."
"Haha, then let's see who encounters him first."
The five ace producers were eager to try.
The current popularity of Ting Yu, with the exposure of his identity, had reached a terrifying level.
Defeating him at this point,
Would likely make them instantly popular and famous throughout the Chinese music scene!
Moreover, there was the temptation of the huge prize money.
No one wanted to miss such an opportunity.
"Then... now, let's invite the ace producers to draw lots. You all know the competition rules, right? Those who draw the challenger will face the challenge of the other five people."
After the host finished speaking,
An assistant in revealing attire gracefully walked up, carrying a box.
"There are five cards in the box. Five cards have numbers, and one card has 'Challenger' written on it. The producers who draw numbers will challenge the Challenger in order. Please, producers, begin drawing lots."
After the host finished speaking,
The assistant held the box and approached Su Yu and the others.
In order, Hu Yang, who appeared first, drew first.
After everyone else had drawn,
The assistant came to Su Yu.
"Teacher Ting Yu, your card." The assistant's voice was soft and sweet, and she winked at Su Yu incessantly.
"Thank you." Su Yu took it and nodded with a smile.
Seeing that all the cards had been drawn, the host
Continued, "Now, please, producers, open your cards and show them to everyone."
Su Yu and the others heard this.
And opened their cards.
When Su Yu saw the word "Challenger" on the card, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Teacher Ting Yu is the Challenger!"
The host exclaimed, and then became excited.
This meant that Su Yu would have to compete in all five rounds to win the regional championship.
This was the outcome the program team most wanted to see.
Because Ting Yu was definitely a draw for viewership!
"I actually got him. If I eliminate Ting Yu in the first round, even if I don't become Music God, I'll be making a fortune!"
The one who drew number one was not Hu Yang, who was skilled in Yue Opera, but another producer named Li Shaojun.
This person was very skilled at writing inspirational songs about dreams. One of his songs had become popular in universities and was still sung by many people.
Upon learning that he was the first to compete against Ting Yu, he was instantly overjoyed.
He couldn't help but show a smug smile at the envious glances of the others.
"Then the opponent for the next round is out, Teacher Li Shaojun versus Challenger Teacher Ting Yu!"
After the host announced this,
The audience below erupted in cheers again.
This was also what the audience wanted.
Most of the people here had come for Ting Yu, so naturally, they were happy to see him compete.
"For this song, it's not a free creation, and there are thematic restrictions. However, both of you can rest assured, this restriction only adds to the fun of the competition. For ace producers, it's quite simple to incorporate an element into their work."
After the host finished speaking,
Words began to appear on the big screen.
"Teacher Li Shaojun, you go first. Say 'stop,' and then choose a word from the word bank."
After speaking, the host looked at Li Shaojun.
"Stop!"
Li Shaojun called out casually.
Five words appeared on the big screen.
Youth, Bar, Persistence, Love Letter, Work.
Among these words, one could be chosen to be incorporated into the style of the song.
"I choose Youth!"
Li Shaojun chose the word Youth without hesitation.
Because he had a song he had been working on for three years, which was about youth and inspiration. Choosing this word meant he could directly use that song without any changes.
"Heaven is helping me!"
Li Shaojun's heart pounded rapidly.
It seemed he had a great chance of eliminating Ting Yu!
Thinking of this, he clenched his fist unconsciously.
"Next, please, Teacher Ting Yu, make your choice."
The host looked at Su Yu.
"I'll choose Persistence, then." Su Yu said with a light smile.
"Persistence? Is Teacher Ting Yu also going to write an inspirational song?"
The host asked in surprise.
"Yes." Su Yu nodded.
After he finished speaking,
The host was stunned.
The audience was stunned.
Even the ace producers on stage were stunned.
As everyone knew, inspirational songs were Li Shaojun's specialty, and he would most likely be writing in this genre.
And Ting Yu was also preparing to write a song of this type.
Was he playing this intensely?
To defeat you with your strongest genre?
This was too arrogant!
"Incorrigible!" Li Shaojun snorted coldly. This Ting Yu was too arrogant!
But this was good.
Let him experience the taste of defeat!
"Next, please, both of you choose your collaborating singers."
The host tried his best to remain calm.
He could sense the intense gunpowder smell on the stage.
The competition hadn't even started, and they were already clashing so fiercely.
It seemed the subsequent competitions would have guaranteed high ratings...
Li Shaojun chose a top-tier singer he had collaborated with many times, who was also very suitable for the song.
After he made his choice,
Everyone looked at Su Yu's lineup of singers.
Besides Lin Yanyu, who was already a top-tier singer, the other few were in the second and first tiers.
"I bet Ting Yu will choose Lin Yanyu. After all, her singing is good, and her popularity has increased after this incident."
"I think so too."
"But Lin Yanyu's vocal tone isn't suitable for inspirational songs, is it?"
"I guess it's the Slippers Brothers."
"I guess Zhang Yang. His singing is also good, his song 'Gentleman' made me cry..."
Below the stage, the audience began to guess which singer Ting Yu would pick.
Lin Yanyu was popular, had good singing skills, and was also Ting Yu's girlfriend. Most people believed he would choose Lin Yanyu.
"I choose Gong Juren, Little Gong."
Su Yu's choice.
Once again, it defied everyone's expectations.
And Gong Juren, upon being named, stood frozen in place, looking at Su Yu with disbelief.
"Brother Yu, I love you!!"
Then, he suddenly jumped up from his seat and ran towards Su Yu with tears in his eyes, his face filled with emotion and pride!
