"Please producers, announce your draw numbers!"
Many audience members had already stood up, craning their necks in anticipation of the performance order.
After the host finished speaking, the producers revealed the numbers they held.
For a moment, everyone seemed to hear the producers on stage sigh in relief!
Tingyu and Sean were in the last performance slot!
This was an excellent outcome, both for the show's ratings and for the other producers.
The only ones who were unhappy were the audience.
This epochal battle in the Blue Star music scene would only be decided by the final pair.
INS Entertainment.
The mess in John's office had been cleaned up.
The world-class sound system had been taken for repair due to damage, and a slightly inferior system had been temporarily installed.
It was already past 8 PM, and the company employees had all gone home.
Only John and the bruised and battered Director of Artist Relations remained.
"Who do you think will win?" John stared at the live broadcast on the projector, adjusted his belt buckle, and suddenly broke the silence.
"Sean," the Director of Artist Relations replied with a muffled nasal sound.
He finally understood what it meant to say too much and be wrong.
So his language was very concise.
"I think it's Sean too. Book me the most luxurious party. I want to host a celebration for Sean!"
A mysterious smile flickered across John's lips.
"No problem!" Hearing this, the Director of Artist Relations quickly excused himself.
...
China.
Many people were following this competition.
Both netizens and industry insiders.
Everyone knew what this competition represented for China.
If Tingyu won, he would most likely secure the championship.
Why "most likely"?
Because there was another episode of a free-for-all competition later.
Eight producers would compete simultaneously, with global audience voting.
This competition would also have rankings, so the outcome still had variables.
But the variables were not significant.
This was because Tingyu and Sean, in terms of both skill and global fame, were superior to the other producers. In a global vote, the championship would only be decided between these two.
Therefore, this competition was crucial. Whoever won would see their global reputation rise, and naturally, the person with the most votes in the final episode would be the winner.
So this episode was the key to the entire competition!
"If Tingyu wins, the Chinese music scene will benefit tremendously!"
"The authorities should hope Tingyu wins the championship, as cultural output will be very simple after winning!"
"If Tingyu wins, his status will be almost equivalent to a world superstar, right?"
"I feel like he'll surpass world superstars, after all, he's a producer, he can write songs and sing."
"Damn it, I'm going all out, I'm willing to exchange ten years of single life for Tingyu to win!"
"Brother, your faith isn't strong enough. If Tingyu wins, I'll quit masturbating for a year!"
"Awesome, then I'll add a bet, if he wins, I'll quit directly!"
Chinese netizens naturally supported Tingyu.
After all, this was related to the Chinese music scene and China's cultural output.
On social media platforms, it was unprecedented unity, with everyone supporting Tingyu's victory.
The domestic entertainment industry was now a dynasty completely dominated by Tingyu.
...
The theme of this episode was "The Godfather," but the production team did not specify what kind of song to write.
Therefore, the songs from the previous producers were not uniform.
The "Godfather" series, both the novels and the songs, were classics in the United States, having once ignited a nationwide craze.
Although the background of this movie was Italian mafia, the films in this series had won Golden Awards in the United States, especially the second installment, which had a significant impact worldwide.
Because Japan also had mafia-like organizations, and even had deep connections with Morita Sho, the boss of Niwei Entertainment where Miyamotozawa belonged, Miyamotozawa incorporated some of his own writing style when describing the Godfather theme in his song. The entire song moved countless audiences at the scene and earned much applause.
"Miyamotozawa is indeed a producer with real talent. His songs are not just limited to anime; he's equally formidable in other areas!"
"Unexpectedly, Miyamotozawa has stabilized his mindset after being crushed by Tingyu twice in a row."
"If it weren't for Tingyu, Miyamotozawa and Jin Chengxian would both have been very outstanding."
"Actually, everyone performed well; they were just overshadowed by Tingyu's brilliance."
Perhaps it was because everyone had let go.
This time, there were many outstanding performances.
The eight producers participating in the competition were all top talents from various countries; they all possessed skill.
When they shed their pressures, the performances were indeed astonishing.
As one high-quality song after another was presented, it became clear that this competition was truly a global music gala.
"Thank you to the producers before us for bringing us so many good songs. Now, only the last group remains. Audience friends, are you ready?"
The host handed the microphone to the audience seats.
"Sean! Sean!!"
"Tingyu, come on!!"
"Tingyu will win!!"
"Sean! Champion!!"
The audience at the scene erupted in deafening cheers!
The showdown they had eagerly awaited was about to begin!
These were the top music producers from Blue Star!
One was Sean, the ruler of the Times Music Chart, and the other was Tingyu, the strongest dark horse from China.
Up to this point, both had a perfect winning record.
So, who would continue their winning streak, and who would be stopped?
It all depended on this competition!!
"Please welcome Sean's singer, Brown!!"
The host's voice rang out.
Brown walked from backstage to the center of the stage.
His attire today was different from before. He wore only a leather jacket on his upper body, revealing his muscular physique, a standard rock-and-roll look.
As Brown reached the center of the stage, the lights gradually dimmed, casting a hint of crimson.
Under the illumination of the lights, the atmosphere was instantly ignited.
In fact, a good live performance wasn't just about the singer; lighting and stage design also contributed significantly to the experience.
The lift platform slowly rose, revealing a drummer, guitarist, bassist, and keyboardist.
As expected, it was rock!
This was Sean's strongest and most familiar genre!
Even though Sean had lost to Tingyu in rock before, many audience members still became excited seeing Sean still composing rock music.
As the prelude began, the sound of the electric guitar was accompanied by Brown's hoarse growl!
The atmosphere at the scene was instantly ignited!
Regardless of the program, rock music was undeniably the king of live performances!
Sean's song used a heavy metal feel to depict the cruelty and slaughter of the mafia. This was not easily accepted by Chinese people, who were deeply influenced by Confucianism, but in the free United States, it made people incredibly excited.
Brown was already a top rock singer, so his performance was naturally impeccable.
The entire scene reached its climax with his deep, growling vocals!
