Dingsheng Entertainment.
After "Xiao Chou" was sung.
The meeting was adjourned.
As they left, the senior executives of Dingsheng Entertainment had solemn expressions.
They all shook their heads and sighed.
The last to leave the conference room were Qi Shenghua and Chen Shuhao.
"I, Qi Shenghua, was merely assessing the enemy; I didn't intend to listen to that kid's song."
Suddenly, Qi Shenghua said something inexplicable to Chen Shuhao.
This out-of-the-blue remark made Chen Shuhao pause for a moment before nodding: "Mhm."
The two took the elevator to the company entrance.
The assistant's car was already parked downstairs.
"Director Qi, I'm leaving first," Chen Shuhao said, not in high spirits.
"Wait a moment," Qi Shenghua called out to him.
He then quickly walked to the car and said to his assistant, "Give me the lighter."
The assistant was startled!
Had Director Qi discovered him smoking in the car just now?
It was over, it was over.
When the previous assistant left, he had repeatedly warned him not to smoke in front of Director Qi.
He had estimated that there was still plenty of time, and the show hadn't ended yet. Who knew they would come down early?
"I… I don't smoke, so where would I get a lighter?" the assistant stammered, avoiding eye contact.
"Give it to me!" Qi Shenghua's expression darkened.
The assistant couldn't help but tremble and quickly took out a lighter from his pocket: "Here… here you go."
"Take out the cigarettes too," Qi Shenghua continued.
Upon hearing this, the assistant complied.
"Director Qi…" he tried to say something else, but Qi Shenghua walked towards Chen Shuhao in the distance without looking back.
Seeing this, the assistant breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he wasn't in trouble.
He must be more careful from now on…
"Little Chen, want to chat?" Qi Shenghua offered Chen Shuhao a cigarette.
After taking it, Chen Shuhao gritted his teeth and said, "Director Qi, I will definitely win this time!"
"Are you sure?" Qi Shenghua lit the lighter, first for himself, then offered it to Chen Shuhao.
Chen Shuhao used the flame to light his cigarette and took a deep drag.
A brief silence fell between them.
"At least I can beat the others!" Chen Shuhao's tone was very firm this time.
Today, besides Ting Yu's division having two folk songs, other divisions also had a few.
After listening to Ting Yu's "Xiao Chou," he felt unsure.
However, he was still very confident about the other ace producers.
Qi Shenghua did not respond.
The two stood at the company entrance.
They finished a cigarette.
Finally.
Qi Shenghua dropped the cigarette butt, stomped it out with his foot, took a deep breath, and looked at Chen Shuhao, saying in a deep voice, "Second place is second place. I've been used to taking second place for so many years."
He then sighed softly, his tone filled with helplessness.
Chen Shuhao opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.
Qi Shenghua patted his shoulder.
Then he turned and walked towards the car.
Looking at Qi Shenghua's retreating back, Chen Shuhao also sighed and turned to walk away.
"Please, members of the judging panel, cast your votes!"
The host's face was full of exasperation.
The director was already cursing in his earpiece; these judges were relentless.
Before others could even finish speaking, their microphones were snatched by others.
Everyone wanted to express their feelings about the song.
In desperation, the control room had to cut off their microphone signals.
Next.
It was time for everyone's most anticipated voting segment.
Ting Yu's and Liu Quanlin's names appeared on the big screen.
Tense background music began to play.
The votes behind their names rapidly increased.
In just three seconds.
Everyone was stunned.
Liu Quanlin's vote count stopped at 200 votes.
And the votes behind Ting Yu were increasing wildly.
Finally, it settled at 1799 votes.
Then.
The vote count behind Liu Quanlin, under everyone's gaze, changed again: 201 votes!
"That's pretty good, with a zero and a whole number!"
"Damn, who's so mischievous?"
"I remember the biggest vote gap was with Shen Jinghong in the first division; it was something like 1650 votes versus 350 votes last time."
"A new record has been set!"
"Haha, look at Liu Quanlin, he looks completely out of it."
At this vote count.
The venue erupted in laughter.
Previously, Shen Jinghong had gained rapid online popularity by showcasing his strong skills with the largest vote gap in the entire division. Later, it was revealed that he was the last disciple of the Music God Mo Yan, which further boosted his fanbase.
And this time, Ting Yu had broken Shen Jinghong's record.
Undoubtedly, it made the fans cheer.
...
A certain apartment.
Li Shaojun, who had been thoroughly defeated by Ting Yu last time.
He held his phone in one hand and slapped his thigh with the other.
Comfortable.
Finally, someone was more miserable than him!
At this moment, his heart felt instantly balanced.
Suddenly, a message notification popped up.
Hermit One: "Send me the screenshot."
Upon receiving this message.
Li Shaojun, with a perverted smile of excitement, pulled out the screenshot from his phone.
And sent it to the Shen Yin Zhe group.
...
"I announce that Teacher Ting Yu has successfully defended his title again!"
The host shouted loudly.
The entire venue erupted in thunderous applause.
They had won.
They had won so beautifully!
Ting Yu had slapped the faces of the trolls with his strength.
He was ruthless and spoke little, which was not just talk.
Ting Yu's simple "slightly understand" had directly crushed Liu Quanlin, who had studied folk music for decades, into the ground.
Fans were desperately roaring from the audience.
Ting Yu had released songs in almost all mainstream genres and maintained an undefeated record.
As people gradually realized this.
Their worship for Su Yu grew even stronger!
...
Next was the final keyword segment of the show.
Ting Yu's opponent this time was ace producer Jin Lei. Among these producers, his songwriting was mostly mainstream.
Most of them were love songs, and fantasy love songs were also his specialty, like mythical love stories with a touch of ancient style, which was his main research direction.
Moreover, he had a song that he had been refining for many years, which he cherished. This time, facing Ting Yu, it was time to bring it out.
As Jin Lei and Su Yu took the stage.
The host announced the start.
On the big screen.
Various keywords flickered continuously.
Finally, five words were settled upon.
"Wish" "Mountains and Rivers" "Meteor" "Fish" "Time"
The keywords this time did not reveal any particular style.
However, both Su Yu and Jin Lei's gazes simultaneously looked in one direction.
"I choose Fish."
"I choose Fish."
Before the host could even announce the procedure.
Both of them spoke simultaneously.
After speaking, Jin Lei paused for a moment, then quickly said, "The show doesn't stipulate that we can't choose the same keyword, right?"
The song he had prepared this time was related to fish. If Su Yu took it, it would be troublesome.
The host was also stunned; he hadn't expected something like this to happen.
"Yes, you can!" At this moment, the director's slightly excited voice came through the earpiece.
This situation was rarely encountered.
But when it did, the competition became much more intense!
The show thrived on such topics.
Sometimes, for the sake of popularity, the show would even deliberately hype up such topics.
Since this happened to coincide, they naturally would not refuse.
"Of course, you can choose the same keyword. Both teachers, please continue to choose your singers." The host quickly said to Jin Lei and Su Yu.
Jin Lei was relieved upon hearing this: "I choose Li Xiaorui."
After he finished speaking, the camera turned to Li Xiaorui, who smiled and waved at the camera.
A noisy cheer also erupted from the audience.
This indicated her considerable popularity.
Li Xiaorui was only in her early twenties, with a sweet appearance and an intellectual aura, giving her a somewhat artistic young woman's feel.
With her outstanding singing skills, she had garnered over ten million fans in the C-Pop music scene.
At this moment.
Su Yu scanned the singer group.
Lin Yanyu was not participating in this episode; she was still at her parents' home in Kyoto and said she would return tonight.
Otherwise, Lin Yanyu would have been the most suitable to sing this song.
He scanned the lineup, and finally, his gaze settled on the thin girl in the corner.
"I choose Jiang Xiao'e."
After Su Yu's voice sounded.
Jiang Xiao'e was first stunned, then her nose felt a little sore.
She pursed her lips, trying to suppress the warmth surging within her, but ultimately, her eyes reddened uncontrollably, and two lines of touching tears flowed down.
Finally, she could sing Teacher Ting Yu's song again…
ps: Only two chapters today. Thank you all for your催更 and gifts. You should have guessed the song for the next competition, right…
