The next day.
The final episode of "Love Song King" was about to begin.
Although the atmosphere of this program was mainly warm and not as tense and exciting as a competition.
But the last episode also represented the ownership of the title "Love Song King".
And although Ting Yu was very powerful, he had not officially competed with the top producers in the domestic entertainment industry. "Love Song King" perfectly compensated for this regret, as it truly made him the number one person in the Chinese music scene.
Although Ting Yu had secured the first place on the love song charts every episode, making the competition lack suspense.
But everyone knew that the final battle would definitely be very exciting, and four golden songs were guaranteed!
What was different about this episode was that the scenery areas in the program had been transformed into audience seats. Although the entire venue was not large, it could accommodate about a thousand people. However, these were all internal tickets and were not sold to the public. Those who obtained tickets were media insiders and well-known music critics.
With the addition of the audience, the nature of the program changed from a casual chat to a tense atmosphere, giving it a competitive feel.
"Why are the seniors here so early?" When Su Yu arrived at the recording studio, Mo Yan and the others had already arrived and were drinking tea and chatting.
Mo Yan seemed to be in good spirits, as if the online comments had no effect on him at all.
"We came early to exchange ideas and see how we can beat you," Mo Yan said jokingly, patting the seat next to him.
From the first episode, their positioning was very precise: to accompany the show, help Su Yu build his reputation, and face the competition of "Music King of the Era" in their best state.
Now that the program had reached its final episode, Ting Yu's position as the number one person in the Chinese music scene was firmly established.
No one said he didn't deserve the title anymore.
The effect of the program had been achieved.
And now, in the final episode, everyone had decided to go all out and give Ting Yu another boost.
Su Yu sat down beside Mo Yan: "I heard that Teacher Mo Yan has prepared a big move this time. I'll have to be careful, but losing to seniors is not shameful."
"Haha, why are you so humble, kid? Are you trying to make us look bad?" Mo Yan said with a smile.
After all, Su Yu was very arrogant on foreign websites, and even when facing world-class producers, he didn't give them any face.
"Sincere words," Su Yu couldn't help but smile.
Just then.
The program crew's loudspeaker suddenly announced: "All departments, please note, live broadcast countdown, 10, 9, 8..."
The countdown began.
Su Yu and the others stopped their idle chat.
After the countdown was completed, the final episode of "Love Song King" officially began.
The moment the screen lit up, the barrage of comments instantly became dense!
"Damn it, I've been waiting forever for it to finally start!"
"Teacher Mo Yan's complexion looks good. It seems he's completely unaffected by Chen Zhe's fans."
"Just a clown, only bullying Mo Yan's fans because they are old and don't use the internet."
"I dare say that the parents of those trolls might be Mo Yan's fans!"
"Don't give those attention-seeking trolls any more heat. Go, Teacher Mo Yan!"
"Ahhh! Ting Yu looks handsome again, go, Ting Yu!"
"Teacher Jiang Qian has no face at all? Brothers, go, Teacher Jiang Qian!"
"Teacher Zhou Qingshan, the king of love songs!"
Each producer had their own fans.
Although Ting Yu usually had the most fans, it was the final episode today, and there were rumors that Mo Yan would retire from music. Many people who didn't usually watch live broadcasts also tuned into the "Love Song King" live stream.
If Mo Yan really retired, it would be difficult to see him again in the future, and everyone was very reluctant to see him go, as he had made significant contributions to the Chinese music scene.
"Thank you everyone for watching 'Love Song King', exclusively sponsored by Xiang Guo Drinks. Now, please invite the producers to choose their singers."
Since there was no story segment, it directly started with choosing singers.
Mo Yan glanced at the others. Seeing that no one else was making a move, he said without hesitation: "I have a requirement for this song."
"Please speak, Teacher Mo Yan," the program crew's voice sounded.
"I want to sing a duet with my disciple Shen Jinghong for this song."
Wow!
After he finished speaking.
Everyone present was stunned.
Even Su Yu was taken aback.
"Teacher Mo Yan and Shen Jinghong will sing a duet?"
"Holy crap, Teacher Mo Yan is going to sing!!"
"Teacher Mo Yan has never sung before. This must be his first on-screen performance!!"
For so many years, Mo Yan had only been known as a producer. Whether on programs or in private, no one had ever seen a video of him singing.
But now, Mo Yan actually requested to sing a duet with Shen Jinghong.
This news simply shocked the audience!
Shen Jinghong, with a smile, quickly walked over and sat next to Mo Yan.
When his master first told him about the duet, he had the same reaction as everyone else: initial surprise, followed by elation.
Having been with his master for so many years, he had never heard him sing. Now, being able to sing with him, Shen Jinghong felt content.
"This is definitely a big move!" Su Yu took a sip of tea and looked at Mo Yan.
"Mo Yan, you didn't tell me about this before!" Zhou Qingshan said with a hint of annoyance.
"Teacher Mo Yan's move has exceeded everyone's expectations," Jiang Qian nodded.
Mo Yan smiled slightly: "I'm not like Su Yu; I'm not good at singing. I just suddenly wanted to try something new."
Su Yu touched his nose upon hearing this. Why was the topic shifting back to him?
"Let's continue choosing people," Zhou Qingshan felt that he was doomed this episode.
Not to mention Ting Yu was guaranteed to win first place, if Mo Yan sang, it would definitely be a huge sensation, and he would be at least second place, even potentially winning first place and causing Ting Yu to falter.
Now, he just hoped not to come in last.
So Zhou Qingshan chose a singer he often collaborated with.
Jiang Qian had the same idea: as long as she didn't come in last, she also chose a singer she often collaborated with.
Next, everyone's attention turned to Su Yu.
For Su Yu, he had many choices. The most stable choice was to sing himself, as Mo Yan had gone all out this time.
"Ting Yu will probably sing himself."
"If he sings himself, he'll get first place 100%. If he lets someone else sing, this time it might really be uncertain."
"100% he'll sing himself. Ting Yu isn't stupid. First place in this episode is too important for him."
"Teacher Mo Yan doing this means he's determined to retire!"
As the audience discussed, Su Yu looked up at Gong Ju Ren.
"I choose Gong Ju Ren."
His tone was calm, betraying no emotional fluctuation. However, when the camera shifted from Su Yu to Gong Ju Ren, the audience felt a hint of indulgence.
Su Yu had been promoting Jiang Xiao'e recently, and many people thought Gong Ju Ren had fallen out of favor.
No one expected that in the final episode, when Mo Yan chose to sing himself, he would actually choose Gong Ju Ren!
The program crew was also very good at handling the situation. The camera switched between Su Yu and Gong Ju Ren, finally focusing on Gong Ju Ren's moved face, his eyes slightly red.
"Brother Yu, I won't let you down!"
He thought to himself, then clenched his fist and got up to walk towards Su Yu.
