The cinema.
Shen Jinghong closed his eyes, listening intently to the song.
In his opinion, this song was absolutely the pinnacle of Ting Yu's personal style.
Because his style was too unique, so unique that others couldn't imitate its essence even if they tried.
This time, it even incorporated the theme of car racing.
The rap rhythm and such, paired with this style of song.
It was simply a pleasure.
"I am truly convinced."
He sighed in his heart, admitting defeat. In fact, he had long been convinced; otherwise, he wouldn't have become good friends with Su Yu. This person was a monster. He seemed to be able to master any style with ease, and in any style, he had the skill of the ultimate master, even surpassing him.
In fact, from the city competition, Shen Jinghong already knew he wasn't a match for Ting Yu. By the time Ting Yu had even surpassed his teacher and become the number one figure in the Chinese music scene, he had long lost the desire to compete with Su Yu.
However, while Shen Jinghong was marveling at the song.
Others were immersed in this outrageously spectacular race.
Gong Juren and the others all wore expressions of deep shock, amazed by the might of this Wuling Hongguang.
It was already absurd for a minivan to drift, but even more absurd was that this car was actually closing the gap with the supercars in front of it on the corners!
"Fast around corners is true speed."
Having just watched "Initial D," everyone instantly recalled the scenes from the movie.
As the Wuling began to overtake.
Countless viewers' jaws dropped.
Outrageous!
They found themselves watching an outrageously unbelievable video, so outrageous that it made them doubt its authenticity.
"Isn't this a movie? Is this real?"
"It's a bit too fake, I think it's too fake."
"It shouldn't be fake. I remember the car team in the video from a program before. They seemed to be a very strong amateur team. For this Wuling Hongguang to perform like this against them, it's at least a top professional driver!"
"More than top-tier, I'd believe you if you said he was a world-class professional race car driver."
"Who's driving? Who on earth is driving!"
"This Wuling Hongguang is so fierce, which world-class race car driver is dominating the novices on Mount Akina?"
However, the shock from before was not enough.
Because the Wuling continued to overtake in the back.
Even in the final five consecutive hairpin turns, it used a gutter run, pulling ahead of everyone.
This scene stunned everyone!
"Holy crap, awesome!"
"Wuling Hongguang is awesome!! yyds!"
"Amazing! This race is even more exciting than Fujiwara Takumi's final run!"
Everyone was now immensely curious about this driver!
With their mouths agape, they stared intently at the stopped Wuling Hongguang, eager to see who was driving this car.
Even Shen Jinghong was awakened from his musical reverie, drinking his cola and gazing at the big screen.
At this moment.
The Wuling's door opened.
The camera followed.
Everyone held their breath, anticipating the revelation of the truth.
When that handsome face appeared on camera.
A collective gasp swept through the venue.
The expressions on the audience's faces were incredibly complex!
"Pfft..." Shen Jinghong spat out his cola.
Shocked!
Stunned!
Disbelieving!
He was too familiar with this face!
This was Ting Yu, wasn't it? When did Ting Yu become a race car driver?
Not only him, but Gong Juren and the others were also completely bewildered.
Then, infinite admiration for Su Yu arose in their hearts!
"Holy crap, it's Brother Yu!"
"Awesome, I knew it was someone so skilled, it turns out to be Brother Yu!"
"Brother Yu is my god!!"
In the cinema hall.
The group of singers cheered!
While they found it hard to believe Su Yu possessed such formidable racing skills, they also felt it was perfectly reasonable for such a thing to happen to him.
...
The movie had ended.
The lights in the cinema hall were fully illuminated, and the screen had turned dark.
But the remaining audience members were still discussing heatedly.
"I can't accept it, that must have been special effects!"
"There's no way this kind of visual can be special effects; special effects can't be this realistic!"
"If it were another professional race car driver, I might believe it was real, but for Ting Yu to get out of the car feels a bit far-fetched..."
"It's hard to believe, but with Ting Yu's current fame, there's no need to fake it for attention."
"If it's real, then Ting Yu is too outrageous. Not only can he write songs, sing well, but he's also so skilled at racing. Is he even human?"
After the premiere of "Initial D."
The audience leaving the cinema after watching the behind-the-scenes footage had remarkably uniform expressions. It was as if they hadn't watched a movie about a race car driver, but a movie about thrust.
One by one, they tilted their heads, their brows furrowed, their expressions solemn, and they seemed to be questioning life.
As for those who left early, they all received news.
Knowing how explosive the post-credits scene was.
They all thumped their chests and regretted not waiting a little longer.
In fact, a large portion of the audience at the premiere were Ting Yu's fans. They ignored the online drama from Jiangnan, only wanting to listen to Ting Yu's new song. Who would have thought Ting Yu had another song saved, and such an exciting race scene in the final post-credits?
Ting Yu drove a Wuling Hongguang and raced down Mount Akina!
And this wasn't the important part. The most important thing was that Ting Yu not only drifted with the Wuling but also beat other people's supercars, and there was a very nice song at the end. This operation was simply brilliant!
"Damn it, I missed out on a fortune!"
"No way, if I don't see this post-credits scene today, I won't be able to sleep!"
"I heard the last song is also Ting Yu's signature style. I really deserve to die for not waiting a few more minutes!"
"Forget it, forget it, boss, give me another ticket!!"
For a time, many people flocked back to the cinema, rushing to buy tickets for the next show.
No matter how exciting the preceding movie was, it was just movie footage.
But the video that followed was a real race that actually happened.
Regardless of the outcome, just knowing that Ting Yu drove a Wuling Hongguang on Mount Akina at the end was enough reason for them to buy another ticket to rewatch it, not to mention another new song by Ting Yu.
Even after this incident spread, many viewers who originally had no interest in "Initial D" developed strong curiosity. They abandoned their initially chosen films and switched to purchasing tickets for "Initial D."
Of course, these situations weren't limited to the domestic entertainment scene.
After being exposed on "King of Era Music," Ting Yu's popularity worldwide had become extremely high. News of the post-credits scene spread rapidly, attracting the interest of many people who wanted to see just how good a music producer's driving skills could be.
