"Era Music King" is here.
Producers from various countries have also announced their itineraries on their personal platforms, all having arrived in the United States.
However, they all stated online that the protagonists of this issue are Ting Yu and Sean, and they have nothing to do with it.
With only two episodes left in the competition, everyone has lost hope of winning the championship, so their心态 has gradually calmed down. The previous competitive spirit has faded, replaced by more smiles and interactions.
In the internal group chat for producers, everyone except Ting Yu is present.
It's not that they don't want to add Ting Yu, but after several episodes, no one has a good relationship with him.
Scenes from other variety shows where contestants empathize with each other and cry when someone is eliminated are impossible to see in "Era Music King."
"Sean hasn't said anything recently, it seems he's fully focused on writing songs."
"So many people have said he's not as good as Ting Yu. Sean, being such a proud person, will definitely go all out."
"But Ting Yu is really popular lately. In terms of popularity, he's not inferior to Sean."
"It's a shame that the public opinion has suddenly reversed again, with claims that Ting Yu is being hyped by capital and can't compare to a rookie. If this narrative continues for another two days, his public appeal will be ruined..."
"We should just watch the show. After all, who wins or loses doesn't matter to us anymore."
As industry insiders, the producers are naturally aware of the significant stir Ting Yu has caused in the United States.
In fact, they know more insider information than netizens.
Besides its quality, the explosive popularity of "Hotel California" is indeed due to capital promotion.
However, these are all normal in the industry. Even with capital promotion, the song is of very high quality, otherwise, it wouldn't have caused such a sensation.
And the song sung by world-famous superstar Tina at her concert is also of high quality. It's just unfortunate for Ting Yu that someone with ulterior motives is using the "rookie" angle to target him.
But the producers can only watch the drama unfold; it doesn't concern them much.
"I heard there's a very famous red-light district in the United States. Since we're here, shall we go for a stroll?" Roman suggested in the group chat after it had quieted down.
The two days before the competition are for contestants to learn about local characteristics, which will help them write songs on the final day.
Therefore, contestants have free reign, and the production team has no specific regulations.
"What's the point of a red-light district? It's better to go hunting for women in a bar," Jin Chengxian replied.
Although the bus is skilled, it's also severely worn out.
Riding in a private car is definitely more comfortable.
Jin Chengxian, accustomed to driving good cars, disdains taking the bus.
"I think Jin Chengxian's suggestion is good. The bar culture in the United States is very vibrant, and we can go take a look."
"Then we're going to the bar tonight!"
The others expressed their strong agreement with Jin Chengxian's suggestion.
"You guys go, I have something to do." Gong Ben Ze suddenly said.
"I can't go, I have something to do," Sean also chimed in on the group chat.
Jin Chengxian was a little surprised: "I can understand Sean not being able to go, but Gong Ben, what are you up to?"
Sean is definitely going to take this episode seriously, as it concerns the ownership of the title "Strongest Producer on Blue Star." But Gong Ben Ze is ranked behind Jin Chengxian on the points leaderboard, so what could he possibly be busy with?
Luosuo Fu said: "Gong Ben is researching French themes. The finals are next month, and he said he wants to create the most powerful song."
The finals of "Era Music King" will be held in Paris, France, a fact announced at the beginning of the competition.
Moreover, the production team knows that limiting themes and time, while adding competitiveness, significantly detracts from artistry. Each producer has their own strengths in style and theme. Therefore, in Paris this time, the production team has lifted all restrictions, allowing producers to go all out in creating a song to achieve good results.
Although Gong Ben Ze's performance hasn't been ideal, he wants to use this opportunity to showcase his strongest side.
So he started researching the final song a long time ago.
"Gong Ben is a producer with a dream," Jin Chengxian said with some admiration.
"I suddenly feel that I should work harder," Lauren seconded.
"He is indeed worthy of our learning."
"I admire him..."
In comparison, the others felt a bit too indulgent.
For a moment, they all began to self-reflect.
"Speaking of which, are none of you going?" Jin Chengxian asked.
He felt a bit guilty, as if he were the one who instigated this bad trend.
It seems he should restrain himself.
"We're going! Why wouldn't we go!"
"Since I can't get a good ranking anyway, let me just indulge!"
"There's still over a month, no need to rush for just one day..."
"That's right, I'll definitely study songs properly tomorrow!"
...
ins Entertainment.
Recording Studio.
Inside were the most cutting-edge music production equipment on the entire Blue Star.
At this moment, the entire recording studio was very quiet.
Sean sat quietly in front of the computer, lost in thought.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Then John walked in from outside.
Seeing Sean with a furrowed brow, and glancing at the blank composition software on the computer monitor, he also frowned.
"With your skill level, it's no problem for you to write a masterpiece of the 'Godfather' genre."
He tried his best to keep his tone calm.
The theme had been given to Sean long ago, but the other party hadn't started production yet, and John was already getting a little angry.
"I just want the competition to be fairer for myself," Sean said calmly, looking up at John.
For him, writing a good song after knowing the theme was indeed easy, but what he wanted was to write a song within the same timeframe as Ting Yu, not to gain such an advantage by cheating.
Even if he won, he would still have reservations.
"Heh, I used to admire you, but now in my eyes, you're just an idiot!" John couldn't help but curse.
Sean continued to look at the monitor in front of him, ignoring him.
John's chest heaved, and he tried to maintain his composure: "You want fairness, did Ting Yu give you fairness? He used capital to hype his popularity, and in just a few days, countless people in the United States supported him. Sean, are you really that stupid?"
Sean trembled upon hearing this. He had heard about what was happening outside and had also heard that song "Hotel California." Moreover, he admitted that Ting Yu's song could win against his rock song, as he had written that song casually.
"You are also in the industry, you can see that they are using capital to suppress you and elevate Ting Yu. They have already declared war on you. Ting Yu broke the rules first, and you still insist on that ridiculous fairness?" John continued, seeing that he was having an effect.
"Sean, how many people outside are saying you're not as good as Ting Yu? Are you really not as good?"
John slammed his hand on the table, his voice like a thunderclap resounding in Sean's mind.
Sean trembled and slowly looked up at John.
Am I really not as good?
Of course not!
I, Sean, am the strongest producer on Blue Star!
