When the chorus of "Life is Like a Summer Flower" finished playing,
there was a brief pause of a few seconds.
Then the text on the big screen disappeared, and that deep, profound voice sounded again.
"Nominated for the ninth spot on the Era Music Chart Golden Melody Awards is... Ting Yu, 'Chasing Dreams and a Passionate Heart'!"
"Run forward!
Facing cold stares and mockery,
How can life's vastness be felt without experiencing hardship..."
Another inspirational song!
In fact, Ting Yu had indeed released many songs of this type, which was also why many netizens and fans felt he released few love songs. Although positive energy was very important, the domestic entertainment industry had a deep obsession and a large market for love songs. Some people just wanted to listen to love songs when they listened to music, regardless of the song's quality, popularity, or influence; it was simply a preference.
Of course, it was precisely because he wrote so many songs in various styles that he earned the title of an all-around producer.
And this song, "Chasing Dreams and a Passionate Heart," was definitely a masterpiece among inspirational songs!
"Nominated for the eighth spot on the Era Music Chart Golden Melody Awards is... Ting Yu, 'Under Mount Fuji'!"
"Everyone only has these two hands, hugging cannot make you possess anything; to possess, one must first understand how to accept loss..."
Finally, a love song, and it was Ting Yu's!
And it was a song from "Era Music King"!
Back when he was in Japan, many people thought he would lose to Miyamoto Sawa, but Ting Yu managed to secure a decisive victory with this song, "Under Mount Fuji"!
What was most exhilarating was that after winning the competition with this song, Ting Yu secured an opportunity for China to host the competition!
At that time, so many countries wanted this opportunity, and Ting Yu obtained it, which was undoubtedly incredibly inspiring.
And it was from that moment that the domestic entertainment industry's growth speed suddenly accelerated. With overseas attention, domestic songs could also appear on the Era Music Chart!
"Ting Yu has contributed so much to the domestic entertainment industry throughout his journey..."
"It's a shame the Golden Melody Awards only award for one year. Actually, Ting Yu had even more classic songs the year before, including patriotic songs like 'Jing Zhong Bao Guo,' and songs that promoted traditional Chinese culture like calligraphy and martial arts, such as 'Lanting Xu' and 'Huo Yuan Jia.' If all these songs were released, the Golden Melody Awards wouldn't be enough!"
"According to incomplete statistics, in the past three years, Ting Yu has released over a hundred songs, covering all major genres, which is terrifyingly immense!"
"With this release speed, it's no wonder fans call his songwriting 'diarrhea-style'..."
...
"Nominated for the seventh spot on the Era Music Chart Golden Melody Awards is... Ting Yu, 'Vast Sky'!"
"Forgive me for my unrestrained passion and indulgence in freedom throughout my life, I also fear falling one day..."
Wow!
The applause at the scene had not stopped!
These songs were the hottest songs of last year!
They were already familiar to everyone, and even without playing the songs, the melodies naturally appeared in their minds upon seeing the titles!
And "Vast Sky" was a song from "Masked Singer," and it was the masterpiece that led to the Dark Rabbit's glorious victory in the finals!
At that time, this song made the entire audience cry, allowing him to defeat overseas contestants by a large margin and achieve legendary status!
It preserved the basic dignity of the domestic entertainment industry, preventing a foreign contestant from being crowned the god of music in the domestic scene.
Following that legendary performance, the song also reached the number one spot on the hot song charts for that month, and its playback volume exceeded one billion, becoming one of the top songs in Ting Yu's career!
...
"Nominated for the sixth spot on the Era Music Chart Golden Melody Awards is... Ting Yu, 'The Sorrow of Ceasing War'!"
"What shape is the hope in the children's eyes?
Is it waking up to bread for breakfast, and a bowl of hot soup..."
Here it comes!
Ting Yu's most distinctive vocal style!
It was this style of mumbling pronunciation that brought Ting Yu one amazing song after another!
Many viewers noticed that while other songs by Ting Yu could be well-received when covered by singers with good vocal techniques, songs with this particular vocal style seemed to be stamped with "Ting Yu's" mark. No one could replicate that flavor, and even those who imitated his vocal style in covers lacked the soul.
And this song, "The Sorrow of Ceasing War," was also the beginning of Ting Yu's dark trilogy and was hailed as the strongest anti-war song in Chinese music!
It also opened up a vast new horizon for Chinese music, elevating the entire industry!
After the appearance of this song, people realized that music could have so many meanings, and that as musicians, they could bring such positive influence to society!
...
"Nominated for the fifth spot on the Era Music Chart Golden Melody Awards is... Ting Yu, 'Beauty Like Frost'!"
"A simple 'Take care, don't worry,' you said it was hard to write,
Outside the window, ancient qin and orchids, the zither's melody adds to the loneliness..."
When the audience saw this song on the list, they were first stunned, then erupted into warm applause!
This song could be considered Ting Yu's work that bridged Chinese style with global style!
Because many insiders could see that Ting Yu was attempting to fuse Eastern and Western styles, allowing Chinese style to truly go global.
His courage to attempt such a fusion was proof of how he brought the Chinese style genre to its peak!
Therefore, after this stylistic fusion, "Beauty Like Frost" even gained higher popularity overseas than in the domestic entertainment industry!
...
"Nominated for the fourth spot on the Era Music Chart Golden Melody Awards is... Ting Yu, 'Greatest Works of the Era'!"
"The rage of generations!
The king of music!
All things surrender to my score..."
Boom!!
When this song appeared!
Many audience members at the scene even stood up from their seats!
After all, this song was truly significant for Ting Yu and for the entire Chinese music scene!
Ting Yu used the status of an equal artist to discuss art with them.
And he did so through music, providing infinite inspiration to many musicians!
Although this approach was audacious!
No one dared to question his achievements!
"The rage of generations, the king of music!"
He possessed the capital for his audacity, silencing Westerners and successfully reaching the pinnacle of the world stage with his talent!
Becoming the true king of the era in music!
Six nominated songs for the Golden Melody Awards had already been announced.
And they were all Ting Yu's songs.
Many audience members' expressions became peculiar.
It seemed their expectations were somewhat off!
Could it be?
Was it really as they thought?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Why impossible, it's absolutely very possible!"
"He is Ting Yu, the Ting Yu who created countless myths!"
"From the moment the tenth-ranked song was by Ting Yu, I already guessed the outcome!"
"For those of you still doubting, think carefully, who else's song in the current Chinese music scene dares to be ranked ahead of 'Greatest Works of the Era'?"
"Haha, I'm afraid even if the official nomination were to come out, that musician wouldn't dare to go up and accept the award, because after going up, they would likely be overwhelmed by netizens and Ting Yu's fans!"
"Ting Yu is truly unprecedented and inimitable!"
