It was eight o'clock in the evening.
The two songs were finally released.
The chat room's scrolling instantly stopped.
At the same time, many internet cafe gamers, who had not been wearing their headphones due to them being dirty, no longer cared. They all picked up the headphones nearby and put them on.
"Manager, hurry up and change my headphones, why are yours still leaking electricity!"
"Damn it, at the critical moment I find my headphones have no sound, change them quickly! Hurry up!"
"Outrageous, the sound from these headphones is like my mom scrubbing a pot!"
These voices could be heard in almost every internet cafe.
And those whose headphones were intact had already begun to immerse themselves in the ocean of music.
Meanwhile.
Many entertainment companies were also paying attention to this matter.
After all, this was Ting Yu's first battle representing the Chinese music scene. Even though they, who had been suppressed by Ting Yu before, had many grievances in their hearts, they also hoped that Ting Yu would win. After all, this would mean the Chinese music scene had the strength to compete with overseas artists.
Dingsheng Entertainment.
Qi Shenghua looked at the two songs on the screen with a complex expression.
"General Manager Qi, whose should we listen to first?" someone asked.
"Let's listen to Mike's first..." he sighed.
Chen Shuhao's first overseas song had reached the top thirty on the Times Music Chart. Dingsheng Entertainment posted on Weibo to celebrate, but due to the public opinion incidents involving Dark Night Rabbit and Mo Yan, it didn't even make a ripple.
He originally intended to wait for the hype around Dark Night Rabbit to subside a bit before re-marketing.
But Ting Yu had done something like this again.
Competing with a powerhouse in the top ten of the Times Music Chart.
Little Chen, it's not that we at Dingsheng don't want to promote you...
Indeed, they had missed the best promotional opportunity.
Now all the attention was on Ting Yu.
Chen Shuhao's achievement was rendered completely useless.
"The Highest Point"
Performed by: Anna
Lyrics by: Mike
Music by: Mike
As the prelude began,
Many people's expressions gradually turned serious.
As expected of a top producer from the United States, this song fit the game's style perfectly.
Moreover, the strings in the prelude brought a majestic and grand feeling, as if someone standing at the peak was looking down imperiously at the submissive crowd.
Amidst the magnificent movement, there was a unique electronic style. Even just listening to the music was incredibly stunning!
There were many details in the song, and professionals could immediately tell how good the song's quality was.
The perspective of the song was also excellent, looking down on everyone from the peak, it could be called legendary.
And the singer, Anna, being very familiar with producer Mike, understood their strengths and weaknesses, and her performance of the song was also perfect, with extremely outstanding emotional expression.
After the song finished,
The office was silent.
After a few seconds,
A sigh arose.
"Alas... Mike's song is so powerful, can Ting Yu win?"
"I suddenly feel scared to click on Ting Yu's song..."
"My mood is so complicated. I want Ting Yu to lose, because I want him to experience what we feel, but I also want Ting Yu to win. After all, Ting Yu represents the current peak level of the Chinese music scene. If he wins, we can speak with more confidence."
"So... should we listen to it now?"
Everyone looked at Qi Shenghua.
The latter was stunned for a moment.
Then he suddenly slammed the table: "Of course we have to listen! I'll be happy whether we win or lose!"
His mood was equally complicated.
It was similar to what the person just said; he wanted Ting Yu to lose, and he wanted Ting Yu to win.
However, compared to the two, he wanted Ting Yu to win more. Not for any other reason, but simply because when he said in overseas that he was from an entertainment company in China, those people's disdainful looks made him very unhappy.
This time.
I, Qi Shenghua, stand with Ting Yu!
"Legends Never Die"
Performed by: Lin Yanyu
Lyrics by: Ting Yu
Music by: Ting Yu
"A couple's collaboration?"
Qi Shenghua's tone was full of envy.
As Lin Zhaoyang's old rival, he absolutely did not want Lin Zhaoyang to be stronger than him.
But reality was often so cruel. Ting Yu was the music god of Dynasty Entertainment, and Lin Yanyu was Lin Zhaoyang's daughter.
He could already imagine Lin Zhaoyang's triumphant smile if Ting Yu won.
Disgusting!
It was truly disgusting!
Then.
When the prelude to this song began,
Qi Shenghua's expression clearly became somewhat solemn.
In terms of the prelude, Ting Yu's song was not as impactful as Mike's.
"Legends never die,
When the world is calling you,
Can you hear them screaming out your name,
..."
Lin Yanyu's voice was like a sigh that cut through the dark night, or like the opening of a dusty epic scroll in a somber palace.
At this moment, everyone realized that Ting Yu's song took a completely opposite route to Mike's.
Mike's was domineering and arrogant, looking down on everything. But this song had a style of a hero in twilight. Especially the earlier arrangement, with only piano music, gave a sense of faint sadness.
"They never lose hope when everything's cold and the fighting's near,
It's deep in their bones they'll run into smoke when the fire is fierce,
Oh pick yourself up 'cause,
Legends never die!
..."
As the song gradually became more intense,
Everyone could feel the determination to prove themselves again!
Especially when the chorus began, with the first line!
It ignited!
It was as if an invisible force made people suddenly feel that even though I am no longer at my peak, when I am needed, I will spare no effort!
Even if I know I might be utterly defeated, even if I lose everything afterward.
What is there to fear?
I am a legend!
This is a spirit, a fearless spirit, and also the spirit that a legend should possess!
Mike's song was about enjoying all the glory that comes with being a legend.
While Ting Yu's song clearly had a higher purpose; he was writing about a spirit.
Legends are immortal!
After the entire song finished,
The people in the conference room looked at each other with intense shock in their eyes.
They all looked back at Qi Shenghua.
Qi Shenghua gritted his teeth and said with an incomparably envious expression, "I don't even know how this song could lose!"
His voice was clearly trembling due to his excitement.
But he didn't care.
Instead, he gestured for his assistant to play the song again.
He was convinced!
He was completely convinced by Ting Yu!!
