After the intangible cultural heritage exhibition ended.
The song "Qian Si Xi" was spread.
The official version was released, along with an official puppet show MV.
Everyone knew that the battle between Ting Yu and the Music God Chen Shuhao had officially begun!
#Another ancient style opera voice after "Chi Ling", can Ting Yu slap the Music God in the face?#
#Ting Yu's new song, a tear-jerking puppet show story, did it make you cry?#
#Warning, before listening to this song, prepare tissues#
...
Weibo hot searches were once again dominated by Ting Yu.
In comparison.
Netizens were already accustomed to it.
It seemed that ever since Ting Yu released a song, it was bound to cause a stir.
However, what was different this time was that the underlying tension was much more severe!
After all, Chen Shuhao and Ting Yu were connected through Huangchao Entertainment.
The old god battles the new king!
Can Chen Shuhao's comeback battle withstand Ting Yu's impact and maintain his position as number one on the ancient style new song chart?
Can Dingsheng Entertainment surpass Huangchao Entertainment with Chen Shuhao?
Everyone was immensely anticipating it.
"Qian Si Xi" also climbed the charts rapidly.
After the official version was released, within just a few hours, it had already entered the top ten of the new song chart.
This terrifying speed.
Once again, people recognized Ting Yu's ability to dominate the charts.
"Thank you, Ting Yu, for letting me understand the charm of traditional culture again!"
"Friendly reminder, when watching the MV and listening to the song for the first time, please have tissues ready."
"Haha, that's so true. I was crying buckets when I watched the live broadcast!"
"I can confidently say that this song 'Qian Si Xi' completely crushes Chen Shuhao's new song!"
"I have no objections!"
"I have no objections either!"
"Brothers, Ting Yu has fired the first shot, and now it's up to us fans. Charge! Let's stomp the Music God under our feet!"
"Charge! Listen quickly! Download quickly! Forward quickly!"
"Chen Shuhao must be terrified right now."
...
The popular singer Wu Rui.
Holding a glass of red wine, she stood on the balcony with a dejected expression, looking at the night sky outside.
As the original singer of Chen Shuhao's new song "Feng Yue Xing Shuo", she originally felt very fortunate.
However, after witnessing the terrifying chart-climbing speed of "Qian Si Xi", she began to feel uneasy.
As a professional ancient style singer.
She knew what Ting Yu represented in this genre.
The title of Ancient Style Scholar was not gained out of thin air.
In the ancient style circle.
Ting Yu's songs were the dream of countless people.
Wu Rui was naturally one of them.
However, as an artist of Dingsheng Entertainment, she was destined to have no connection with Ting Yu of Huangchao Entertainment.
"I really wish I could sing a song by Ting Yu, even just one would be enough to have no regrets..."
Wu Rui sighed with a wry smile and drained the red wine in her hand.
"Ruirui, you shouldn't say things like that, it'll be trouble if Dingsheng hears about it..."
Her agent, standing beside her, panicked and quickly reminded her.
Dingsheng Entertainment and Huangchao Entertainment were rival companies.
If they found out about Wu Rui's thoughts, they would likely cause her trouble.
Super-first-tier singers were considered the top echelon in the entertainment industry, as there were only so many Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Queens. However, super-first-tier singers had no power against capital.
To continue to be popular, they had to be obedient.
"I was just expressing my feelings..." Wu Rui also knew she had spoken out of turn and shrunk her neck.
"But Ting Yu is indeed amazing. At this pace, your number one position on the ancient style new song chart is likely in jeopardy."
The agent sighed.
"Yes, for ancient style, even the Music God can't compare to him."
Wu Rui smiled faintly and nodded.
...
After "Qian Si Xi" was launched.
Someone analyzed Ting Yu's achievements online.
It was astonishing.
As everyone knew.
There were many new song charts, with dedicated charts for each genre, refreshed once a month.
The Hot Song Chart was the overall ranking, for all songs, refreshed once a quarter.
"Ting Yu was the undisputed king in January. Those two songs, 'Qian Bai Du' and 'Ben Cao Gang Mu', still occupy the top two positions on the Hot Song Chart."
"In February, he released 'Fu Qin', ranking first on the Film and Television New Song Chart and third on the Hot Song Chart. Fourth place was Chen Shuhao's 'Feng Yue Xing Shuo'."
"That is to say, if 'Qian Si Xi' surpasses Chen Shuhao, Ting Yu will have four songs in the front positions of the Hot Song Chart!"
Seeing the analysis online.
Netizens came back to their senses.
Only two months had passed this year.
Ting Yu had already achieved three first-place rankings on new song charts and occupied the top three positions on the Hot Song Chart!
This record... it felt somewhat familiar?
"Holy crap, he's going to slay the gods!"
"There's a hint of this. He wants to step on the returning Chen Shuhao to become the new Music God."
"Could we be overthinking this?"
"What overthinking? This is practically an explicit statement..."
"Given the current animosity between Chen Shuhao and Ting Yu, the old god versus new king situation is inevitable."
"But to become a Music God, besides consistently dominating the charts, another condition is to cultivate a Heavenly King or Heavenly Queen. Judging by Ting Yu's current performance, he doesn't seem to be planning to groom anyone."
"Not necessarily, someone has already sung two songs by Ting Yu."
"Chen Rong is out of the picture, as she's part of the national team. Lin Yanyu and Gong Juren, both of them have sung two songs by Ting Yu."
"Who is this lucky one?"
Netizens were speculating.
Initially, everyone said Gong Juren was the luckiest person.
After all, he debuted with a song by Ting Yu, and then another song by Ting Yu became a hit.
But now.
Excluding Chen Rong, who was like a national team and could even overpower Heavenly Kings and Queens.
There was also Lin Yanyu.
Equally, two songs by Ting Yu.
If Ting Yu wanted to become a god,
It was basically a choice between these two.
...
Two days later.
Everyone had thought it would be very difficult to surpass the Music God.
But reality was very cruel.
In just two days, "Qian Si Xi" surpassed Chen Shuhao's "Feng Yue Xing Shuo".
And reached the number one position on the ancient style new song chart!
At this moment.
It was as if a switch had been flipped.
The homepage of the music platform displayed a banner.
"Congratulations to Ting Yu's new song for topping the ancient style chart at number one! Let's all cheer, Ting Yu is awesome!"
At the same time.
Various internet celebrities, actors, and singers from Huangchao Entertainment posted on Weibo, reposting "Qian Si Xi".
And accompanying it with a caption.
"I've wanted to recommend this song for a long time, but due to certain reasons, it was delayed. Congratulations to Teacher Ting Yu for topping the new song chart!"
This seemingly simple sentence carried a lot of weight.
They were resources from Huangchao Entertainment.
Yet they waited until the song topped the charts before recommending it.
This meant that the victory of "Qian Si Xi" had nothing to do with them.
Its topping the charts was due to its own strength.
The implication was quite like a fatal blow!
Without even using the most basic resources from our Huangchao Entertainment, Ting Yu has completely defeated your Dingsheng Entertainment's Music God.
#Chen Shuhao, I'll let you run 39 meters ahead#
A hot search suddenly surged to the top.
The content of this hot search was a meme.
The meme depicted a stick figure Ting Yu holding a forty-meter-long sword, with the caption below: [Chen Shuhao, I'll let you run 39 meters ahead].
As soon as this Weibo post was released, the internet exploded.
Chen Shuhao released his song first, yet he was still overtaken by Ting Yu.
Whoever made this meme was truly talented.
It fit the situation perfectly!
Now, the pressure was on Dingsheng Entertainment's side...
Without anyone reminding them, netizens spontaneously went to Dingsheng Entertainment's official Weibo, waiting for their reply.
