"Let's congratulate Tingyu on successfully winning this round of the competition!"
The host's congratulations, along with the overwhelming cheers of the audience, resonated throughout the venue!
Tingyu won, he had created another miracle!
Only the final step remained to the championship!
And that step now seemed within reach!!
The pinnacle of the Blue Star music scene!
The name Tingyu was about to be etched there!
With his own strength, he had successfully made the entire world reacquaint themselves with the Chinese music scene!
"The entire Chinese music scene should thank Tingyu!"
"Tingyu introduced the world to the Chinese music scene, bringing it unprecedented attention. His contribution to the entire Chinese music scene is unmatched!"
"The number one person in the Chinese music scene, Tingyu is truly deserving!!"
"Forget the Chinese music scene, in the current domestic entertainment industry, no one has higher prestige than Tingyu!"
"He's only in his twenties! This achievement is something countless people can't reach in a lifetime!"
"Almost there, only one episode left!!"
Amidst the extremely enthusiastic cheers of the live audience.
This episode of "Era Music King" also entered its final moments.
The producers and singers came onto the stage one after another to thank the audience.
Su Yu looked at the audience below shouting his name and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had appeared calm just now, but that didn't mean his victory was easy.
The earphone malfunction was manageable for him, after all, he had no shortcomings in his vocal abilities. As long as the microphone didn't break, his live performance would be flawless.
Sean indeed had high support in the US. After so many instances of "showing off his prowess" before the competition, coupled with Tina's help, he had managed to defeat him.
"I did it..."
The stage lights were a bit dazzling.
He couldn't clearly see the audience.
But the deafening cheers told him that tens of thousands of eyes were focused on him, cheering for his victory.
They weren't just Chinese people, but also Americans, and people from other countries.
The wish he made in the basement, to have his voice heard by the whole world, now seemed to be fulfilled.
"Then let's take that championship!"
With that thought, Su Yu took a deep breath.
His achievements in the Chinese music scene were now unmatched. Winning the championship of "Era Music King" would, in a way, place him at the pinnacle of the entire Blue Star music scene.
...
This episode did not announce the location for the next competition because the program team had stated at the beginning that the final grand finale would be held in Paris, France, the city of romance.
There were many artistic halls there, especially with a richer artistic culture in painting, and frequent large-scale art exhibitions, making it a place most aspired to by Blue Star painters.
Now, Tingyu's points had truly ranked him in first place.
With this victory over Sean, the championship was very straightforward for him.
In the subsequent competitions, as long as he performed normally, the championship would be his. However, even so, he couldn't be too careless.
Because the final episode didn't have a fixed theme, and the producers could unleash their creativity. After several months, everyone was bound to have hidden their trump cards. Although Tingyu's current global prestige and popularity were the highest among the producers after defeating Sean, giving him a significant advantage in voting, if Sean performed exceptionally well, he might be able to catch up in points, leading to a tiebreaker. However, this possibility was very low, as the voting for the final episode would not be by French or Americans, but by the entire world.
In this regard, Tingyu had a huge advantage.
...
China.
Lin Zhaoyang stood up from the sofa and stretched.
A smile of immense satisfaction played on his lips.
"Let's go."
He gently bent down and pinched Chen Rong's cheek.
"Where to?" Chen Rong gave him a playful glare.
"This kid has done what he needed to do. The rest is up to me, his father-in-law."
Lin Zhaoyang said, then walked towards the door.
Even the most dazzling achievements needed operation and management to regulate online public opinion, and to maintain topics for longer, significant effort was required.
Su Yu's victory over Sean this time would indeed cause a surge in popularity.
But there was still a month left until the next competition.
How to sustain the audience's enthusiasm was Lin Zhaoyang's task.
In fact, Su Yu was born with the ability to generate buzz. Every event since his debut had been explosive, and he was a regular on trending topics, with news about him always making headlines.
This was also why his popularity in the domestic entertainment industry was so high.
Besides the fact that Su Yu's actions were sufficiently newsworthy, there was also the behind-the-scenes operation by Dynasty Entertainment and Starlight Entertainment.
Online memory was fleeting.
This was an industry rule, and also a societal rule.
...
Not long after Tingyu defeated Sean.
Major entertainment websites in China instantly exploded.
Wangyun Music.
A remarkably conspicuous poster appeared on the homepage.
[Congratulations to Tingyu for winning the competition! From today onwards, listeners of "In the Name of the Father" can receive a VIP trial card!]
"Another seven-day trial card?"
"Wangyun Music, as Tingyu's loyal fan, can't they offer something else? They always give trial cards..."
"Holy cow, brothers, this time it's not seven days, but a whole month!"
"Hiss... Listening to songs and getting a month's trial card? Are they not worried about their finances?"
"What are you waiting for? Go listen to 'In the Name of the Father' quickly!"
To everyone's surprise, Wangyun Music went all out this time to celebrate Tingyu's victory, offering a month-long VIP trial card just for listening to "In the Name of the Father"!
It was important to note that music platforms on Blue Star had strong copyright awareness, and listening to songs was charged. However, after becoming a VIP, a certain number of songs could be listened to for free each month.
The platform's VIP status was not related to the song producers. Wangyun Music's generous promotion this time was entirely out of its own pocket, and the revenue for this month was bound to suffer losses.
However, they didn't care. Having earned so much money from Tingyu, offering a substantial reward to celebrate his victory would not only gain favor with Tingyu but also with his fans. Although it seemed like a loss this month, it would surely be recouped later.
Apart from Wangyun Music.
Weibo and Douyin short video platforms were also dominated by Tingyu's trending topics!
#The true number one, Tingyu defeats Sean in the US!!#
#The best achievement in the history of the Chinese music scene, Tingyu has done it!!#

#...#
At the same time.

The popularity was off the charts!
#Tingyu is supporting more than half of the Chinese music scene's critics!#
Tingyu's single song, a competition victory.
Not only did it cement his glory.
It also helped the domestic entertainment industry regain its confidence!
With Tingyu, the Chinese music scene had the foundation to establish itself in the world!
With Tingyu, the Chinese music scene would flourish even more!
