Late February.
Dingsheng Entertainment's official Weibo posted a message.
It directly stirred up a colossal wave online.
"Qu God Chen Shuhao's new song will be released on all platforms tomorrow. Song genre: Ancient style. We hope everyone will give it lots of support!"
At the same time, Chen Shuhao's Weibo also reposted this message.
And added the caption: "Newcomer Chen Shuhao, please give me your support!"
This Weibo post, once it went out, plunged the Chinese music scene into madness.
Industry insiders expressed their congratulations one after another.
"Qu God is back, is the chart-topping era about to begin again?"
"As expected, Dingsheng Entertainment is the best choice. Chen Shuhao was listless at Huangchao Entertainment; upon coming to Dingsheng, he immediately released a new song!"
"Haha, Lin Chaoyang must be crying himself to sleep, and he's probably thinking, 'I've spent so much money on you every year, and you turn around and help the enemy attack me.'"
"Haha, finally some good songs to listen to, welcome back Qu God!"
"Welcome back Qu God!"
"Qu God releasing an ancient style song, its meaning is quite profound..."
"Is this a public declaration of war on Ting Yu? To counterattack him using his most proficient genre?"
"But, it's already late in the month, even if Ting Yu isn't convinced, it's impossible for him to write an ancient style song in such a short time. It seems this time he's definitely going to be embarrassed..."
"Interesting, interesting. A contest between two companies, plus a contest between two chart-topping producers. Is the era of Chinese music's generic songs coming to an end?"
"To the one above, I don't quite agree. Huangchao can compare to Dingsheng, but Ting Yu is not qualified to compare with Qu God."
"Heh, don't dismiss him so quickly. Ting Yu's seniority indeed cannot compare to Chen Shuhao's, but in terms of ancient style, as a talented ancient style lyricist, Ting Yu might actually be better than Chen Shuhao."
"Stop arguing. Regardless of who wins or loses, we get to listen to good songs, and that's enough."
"..."
Regarding the veteran Qu God and the rising ancient style talent, the internet was filled with controversy.
In terms of seniority, Ting Yu indeed couldn't compare to Chen Shuhao.
However, the few ancient style songs Ting Yu had released could be described as masterpieces.
From the initial "Chi Ling," then "Qing Hua Ci," and then "Qian Bai Du," which directly earned him the title of talented lyricist, it was evident of Ting Yu's mastery in the ancient style.
And Chen Shuhao's choice to release a song in ancient style, Ting Yu's strong suit, made Ting Yu's fans think the Qu God was a bit arrogant.
Others retorted, saying it wasn't that Qu God was arrogant, but that Ting Yu was too presumptuous.
This time, Ting Yu used the song "Fu Qin" (Father) to utterly defeat Dingsheng Entertainment's ace producer.
As a member of Dingsheng, Chen Shuhao naturally had to regain face.
As the online discussion intensified,
The trending searches were also occupied.
#Qu God Returns, New Song Soon to Be Released!#
#Chen Shuhao Releases Ancient Style Song, Provoking Ancient Style Talent Ting Yu!#
#Huangchao and Dingsheng, Two Major Entertainment Companies Officially At War!#
No one had expected.
What was initially thought to be a situation where Dingsheng Entertainment could only suffer in silence after the song "Fu Qin," but suddenly the news of Qu God releasing a new song emerged.
This undoubtedly intensified the gunpowder smell between the two entertainment companies.
"Even if he is Qu God, I still believe he cannot surpass Ting Yu in ancient style!"
"That's right, I admit Chen Shuhao has talent in love songs and folk music, but for ancient style, Ting Yu is currently the ceiling."
"I really wish this news had come out earlier, so Ting Yu would have had time to write a song to compete for the charts. But with it coming out now, this month's ancient style new song chart will likely belong to Chen Shuhao."
On Huangchao Entertainment's side, most people still supported Ting Yu.
After all, Ting Yu joining Huangchao made him the producer with the highest current popularity, and he had already clashed with Dingsheng Entertainment once, achieving victory, which also represented Huangchao Entertainment's prestige.
However, most netizens did not see it that way.
They were too familiar with Chen Shuhao's past achievements.
Therefore, they were not optimistic about Ting Yu.
"Chen Shuhao releasing a song late this month is probably a warning to Ting Yu, telling him not to be so arrogant."
"Chen Shuhao has been silent for so many years, and suddenly he's become so bold, but I like it..."
"Haha, this is the kind of dominance a Qu God should have!"
"Defeating you with what you're best at, Chen Shuhao is making a king's return!"
"Haha, it's a shame Ting Yu can't finish an ancient style song this month."
"Dingsheng Entertainment signing Chen Shuhao this time is their most brilliant choice."
"It seems that Huangchao Entertainment's top position is about to change hands!"
All over the internet, there were discussions of Chen Shuhao's kingly return.
This time, it wasn't Dingsheng Entertainment's paid commenters.
But genuine individuals.
Qi Shenghua looked at the comments and chuckled.
He felt the benefit of having actual strength for the first time.
No need to hire commenters, no need to make any moves.
Without spending a single cent, he could direct public opinion to his side. Daifeng Novel.
This was something that had always happened with Huangchao Entertainment, or when he used paid commenters to manipulate the narrative.
But now, this genuine support.
This feeling made him exclaim, having strength is truly awesome!
...
Huangchao Entertainment.
Conference room.
A group of executives looked tense.
Lin Chaoyang, however, sat calmly in his chair, his emotions unwavering.
"Mr. Lin, it seems Dingsheng Entertainment is serious this time..."
"Chen Shuhao, that ungrateful wretch, Huangchao nurtured him for so many years, and now he's helping Dingsheng to step on us!"
"That's right. We treated him politely all these years, yet he became dispirited because of that woman. He would release one or two songs a year to muddle through, and we let that slide. Now that he's at Dingsheng Entertainment, he's suddenly become so active, releasing a song within days!"
"Judging by his intent, he probably plans for continuous chart-topping. If that happens, Dingsheng Entertainment will likely surpass us rapidly in the industry!"
"This damned traitor!"
"What do we do this time? Should we let the company's ace producers step in?"
"How can the ace producers possibly be a match for Chen Shuhao?"
"Is it possible that we can only place our hopes on Ting Yu?"
Everyone spoke one after another, finally turning their gaze towards Lin Chaoyang.
These were all executives of Huangchao Entertainment.
Therefore, they were naturally aware that Ting Yu was Su Yu.
Su Yu was Lin Chaoyang's son-in-law, and only Lin Chaoyang, not the others, could make the decision to have Su Yu write a song.
"Are you finished?"
Seeing that the office had finally quieted down, Lin Chaoyang smiled.
"Ahem, Mr. Lin, seeing that you're not worried at all, you must have some countermeasure?"
The speaker was Zhang Haibo, the head of the publicity department.
He was mainly responsible for the company's daily publicity and the management of official Weibo messages.
"I have no solution."
Lin Chaoyang spread his hands.
The executives were stunned for a moment, then looked speechless.
If even Lin Chaoyang had no solution, then Huangchao Entertainment was truly going to suffer a setback this time!
"However... my son-in-law has a solution."
Seeing everyone sighing dejectedly, Lin Chaoyang suddenly said with a light smile.
"Mr. Lin, does Ting Yu have confidence?"
Zhang Haibo was the first to react. He looked at Lin Chaoyang and said urgently.
"In any case, I have confidence in him." Lin Chaoyang said, then stood up from his seat and said to Zhang Haibo, "Xiao Zhang, post a Weibo message: At the intangible cultural heritage exhibition the day after tomorrow, Ting Yu will release a new song."
After speaking.
He ignored the stunned executives and strode out of the conference room with imposing confidence.
"Heh, with such a good son-in-law, I, Lin Chaoyang, can show off so comfortably..."
