The official Weibo of the Music Festival.
The official Weibo of Dynasty Entertainment.
And the Weibo accounts of major platforms.
Simultaneously, a latest piece of news was updated.
"The Ace City Competition will begin in early April. This is a competition among Ace Producers, and the final winner will become the fifth Song God of the Chinese music scene!"
A poster was also attached below.
The image featured three veteran Ace Producers and the Song God, Jiang Qian.
These four were the judging panel for this competition.
Among them, Jiang Qian was naturally the main figure.
After all, the contestants were all Ace Producers, so the judging panel naturally needed a Song God to preside, whose evaluations would be convincing.
The poster also displayed the competition rules.
"This competition will be divided into five major regions. Cities will compete first, and after the top contenders emerge, regional competitions will follow. The ultimate champion will be the strongest Ace Producer and the newest Song God of the Chinese music scene!"
Ace Producers had not emerged for a long time.
Let alone a competition solely featuring Ace Producers.
As soon as the news was released, it immediately sparked heated discussions.
"Does this mean we'll have countless high-quality songs to listen to this year?"
"I have a premonition that the battle for the Song God title will be incredibly fierce."
"Haha, fight away! The more intense the fight, the happier we listeners will be!"
"Not only will a Song God be crowned, but I think this competition could even produce a few Heavenly Kings and Queens."
"A battle of gods!"
"Exactly, this is absolutely a battle of gods!"
...
Ace Producers also posted their thoughts on participating in the competition online, each full of confidence.
Whether it was the e-sports or entertainment industry, trash talk before a competition had become a habit.
Because at that time, no one took their words too seriously.
If they lost, their words would become memes.
If they won.
Then congratulations.
You had been showing off from the start until the end of the competition.
You would gain a large number of fans.
"I declare, I, Li, have taken over this competition!"
"Three years. Do you know how I've spent these three years? Prepare to face my judgment!"
"My only goal is the championship."
"..."
A group of participating Ace Producers released their competition declarations on Weibo.
This again triggered discussions among countless netizens.
And in everyone's mind, there was still a question.
That was, would Ting Yu participate?
After all, the most popular producer at the moment was undoubtedly Ting Yu.
He had dominated the top three spots on the new song chart in March.
By completely overshadowing the Song God and two Ace Producers, his reputation had reached its peak.
Now, many people considered him to be the most talented among all Ace Producers.
If he were to participate, he would definitely be a strong contender for the championship.
At this moment.
Ting Yu's Weibo was updated.
"After consultation, I will represent the city of Shuangqing in this Ace City Competition."
It was still a brief and clear statement.
But it immediately sent all the waiting netizens and fans into a frenzy.
"Ting Yu, go for it!"
"Does this mean we'll get to see the true face of the mysterious Ting Yu?"
"Holy crap, that's right. As long as he participates, we'll get to know Ting Yu's appearance!"
"I'm so excited I'm about to cry. From Ting Yu's only released song, I guess he's a young man in his twenties."
"Not necessarily. Maybe his voice is young, but he's actually much older, possibly a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. Otherwise, I really don't believe someone in their twenties can write so many high-quality songs."
"The person above, did you forget the previous rumor that Ting Yu likes Lin Yanyu?"
"I think Ting Yu is worthy of Lin Yanyu, Su Yu is not!"
"I think so too!"
"Uh, this..."
"Ting Yu's fans don't discuss this topic. After all, everyone is currently cursing Su Yu. Since Ting Yu hasn't responded, as his fans, we shouldn't instigate conflict."
"That's right, don't bring the topic to Ting Yu."
Previously, the fans' claims about Ting Yu liking Lin Yanyu were mostly jokes.
After all, since Ting Yu hadn't responded or refuted it, the fans treated it as a running gag.
But now that Lin Yanyu had become a trending topic due to Su Yu, bringing up this joke was inappropriate.
It was easy to cause conflict in the entertainment industry.
Quite a few fans were rational.
But a portion of them still went to Su Yu's topics to gain attention.
This was normal.
...
These past two days.
Li Shi and Zhen Jian were completely dumbfounded.
"Brother Li, where's your strategy?" Zhen Jian looked at the topic ranking first on the trending list, his entire face looking like a frostbitten eggplant.
They never expected that a topic that was only hovering around the tenth position on the trending list would directly climb to the top.
Most importantly, the top few spots were all trending topics related to Ting Yu.
Who was Ting Yu? He was the king of chart domination.
Whether it was song charts or trending topic charts.
He could take the first place.
But now, the facts were laid out before them.
Su Yu's topic had surpassed Ting Yu, and even surpassed the topic of the newly released "Ace City Competition," remaining firmly in the first position and refusing to budge.
"I am already implementing my strategy!" Li Shi frantically flipped through the comments.
The more he read, the colder his heart became.
What were all these?
How did it get related to Lin Chaoyang?
Are you all idiots?
Lin Chaoyang is someone we cannot afford to provoke!
Zhen Jian's voice trembled slightly. He patted Li Shi's shoulder and asked timidly, "Brother Li, what do we do now?"
"How the hell should I know? And I really can't understand it. Weren't we supposed to be scolding Su Yu? Why did these people start scolding Lin Chaoyang?"
Li Shi slammed his hand down, smashing the mouse to pieces.
"Is it possible that Lin Chaoyang's status is so high that he wouldn't even bother with minor figures like us?"
A flicker of final stubbornness appeared in Zhen Jian's eyes.
For a moment, the room fell silent.
"Should... it be possible."
This was truly provocative.
It was so provocative it almost made them wet themselves!
...
The last day of March.
Su Yu arrived at Xinghui.
This time, Chen Yong had something to discuss with him.
"Su Yu, I'm looking for you today to tell you something."
Chen Yong had a smile on his face.
He saw Su Yu's calm demeanor and wasn't surprised.
Su Yu had his own confidence and was already in an unassailable position against these online trolls. Proving them wrong was only a matter of time.
"What is it?" Su Yu asked, puzzled.
Chen Yong didn't usually seek him out.
"It's like this, the head office plans to have our Xinghui establish a film and television department. I wanted to ask if you'd like to be an actor and give it a try?"
Xinghui had been making big moves recently.
Not only were they recruiting people from all fields, but they had also rented an entire floor to set up a film and television department.
It would be used for filming movies or television series.
They had also signed quite a few new actors.
"Forget it, my acting skills are not good..." Su Yu's forehead was covered in black lines upon hearing this.
So Chen Yong had called him here about acting...
Su Yu had no such plans for now.
"Alright then. If you ever change your mind, you can tell me. Besides this, your office has also been renovated. Would you like me to show you around?"
Chen Yong continued.
"I'll go by myself. Thank you, Manager Chen."
Su Yu had already seen his office when he arrived.
"Okay, then feel free to look around. Just let me know if you need anything."
Chen Yong didn't say much more.
He was very satisfied at the moment.
Xinghui was gradually becoming stronger.
He knew that all of this was thanks to Su Yu.
And now, what he needed to do was to satisfy the young master of Xinghui. As long as Su Yu was satisfied, everything would be even better!
