"I want a life that blooms,
Like standing on the peak of a rainbow.
Like traveling through a brilliant galaxy,
Possessing power beyond the ordinary..."
The lyrics of this song aren't many.
However, every line is filled with power.
Coupled with Lin Chaoyang's resonant voice, it added a lot of conviction to the entire song.
Moving forward, heading towards the summit.
"It seems Ting Yu has been into rock music lately. Coupled with Dark Night Rabbit's 'The Royal Concubine,' this is the second rock song," Mo Yan nodded, savoring it.
The lyrics of this song, though seemingly simple, were very layered with the arrangement.
Based on Mo Yan's experience, as long as it was released, it would definitely become a widely circulated hit song. He just didn't know if Ting Yu planned to release it.
"Indeed, although I hate to admit it, Ting Yu has consistently written songs that aren't necessarily popular themes," Shen Jinghong said.
He greatly admired Ting Yu for this. Love songs had always been the hottest theme in the Chinese music industry, but Ting Yu didn't seem to have many pure love songs. He preferred to produce positive-energy types, songs about traditional culture, inspirational songs, and songs like "Father" that praised paternal love.
This was what set him apart from ordinary producers.
His style was broad, earning him the title of all-around producer. The city competition was proof of this; he had crushed so many skilled performers, truly deserving of the title all-around.
"You know, I'm quite looking forward to his love songs. Perhaps the next episode of Masked Singer will feature one," Mo Yan said with a smile.
Shen Jinghong blinked in surprise. "Master, why are you so sure?"
Mo Yan glanced at his foolish disciple. "Precisely because love songs are the hottest genre in the market, he won't leave any regrets for his twelve consecutive championships."
"I might not release them, but I want you to know that I can, and that I'm very good at it?" Shen Jinghong suddenly understood.
Indeed, if he were Ting Yu, in the final month of his twelve consecutive championships, he would definitely release a pure love song, as it was a genre that could resonate with the vast majority of listeners.
Thinking of this,
A thoughtful look flashed in Shen Jinghong's eyes.
"Heh, we're just guessing. We'll know during the competition," Mo Yan said deeply, looking at Shen Jinghong, then smiling.
On stage,
Lin Chaoyang and Su Yu had already left.
The cheers from the audience gradually subsided.
The remaining performers were mostly newcomers from less famous companies. These newcomers were carefully selected by their companies for their talent and unique qualities, each eager to showcase their abilities on the annual party stage.
This was the true state of the entertainment industry. Competition in this field was fiercer than in most others. It relied on looks, talent, and connections, and one also needed luck to become famous.
Not everyone could become famous throughout the Chinese music scene in just one year like Ting Yu.
His success encompassed all the aforementioned conditions.
Everyone wanted to be the next Ting Yu.
Perhaps someone in the future could achieve his level of success, but it would absolutely not be achieved with such speed.
Because everyone knew that Ting Yu's success was inimitable.
...
The annual party concluded.
At Lin Chaoyang's invitation, Su Yu and Lin Yanyu attended the subsequent banquet.
"Xiao Yu, you've been in the company for so long, yet you haven't visited headquarters. Many employees are your fans. You must visit the company more often in the future; your office has long been reserved for you." The speaker was Ren Hao, the Vice President of Dynasty Entertainment. He had a Northeastern accent and a straightforward personality.
He was Lin Chaoyang's capable right-hand man, having followed Lin Chaoyang from the inception of Dynasty Entertainment to its current standing.
"I definitely will when I have time," Su Yu nodded repeatedly.
"Xiao Yu, this is our overseas director for Dynasty Entertainment, Ms. Li Xinyao." Lin Chaoyang introduced a woman in her thirties next to him to Su Yu.
"Ms. Li," Su Yu nodded to her upon hearing this.
However, he was quite surprised. This woman, looking not much older, was the overseas director of Dynasty Entertainment, so she must possess abilities far beyond her age.
"It's great to finally meet you in person. Teacher Ting Yu is very popular overseas, and many fans want you to visit overseas," Li Xinyao greeted Su Yu with a smile.
"By the way, Xiao Yu, aren't you two going on a honeymoon trip? You should visit the overseas department then. When I was there a while ago, the employees were all clamoring to meet you," Lin Chaoyang suddenly said.
Su Yu was taken aback. From the words of these two, he sensed a hidden meaning.
It seemed Lin Chaoyang genuinely wanted him to expand his popularity overseas. If he won the championship of Masked Singer, he would have reached the pinnacle of the music industry, both as a producer and a singer, within China.
If he wanted to advance further, he would have to venture onto the world stage.
"I don't seem to have much time to go out now. I'll definitely go on a honeymoon trip when I have time," Su Yu looked at Lin Chaoyang and gave him a knowing glance.
Lin Chaoyang knew about his participation in "Masked Singer."
Even if he were to go out, it would have to be after "Masked Singer" concluded.
Su Yu did indeed have plans for a honeymoon trip.
After all, it was promised by Lin Chaoyang, and everything would be reimbursed.
He wouldn't refuse a trip that didn't cost money.
Going abroad with Lin Yanyu for some quality time together did sound quite appealing.
"Haha, you're right. Your career in China comes first. Just let me know anytime you want to go out, and the entire overseas department of Dynasty Entertainment will serve you," Lin Chaoyang naturally understood what Su Yu meant.
The most important thing now was indeed "Masked Singer." If Su Yu won the championship and became a "Singer God," he would be the true number one in the Chinese music industry and hailed as a legend by everyone.
This was because no one before him, at his age, had achieved such accomplishments.
Subsequently,
Lin Chaoyang introduced other senior executives to Su Yu.
Those executives praised Su Yu one after another, to the point where Su Yu felt a little embarrassed.
Among them were some whom even Lin Yanyu didn't recognize.
Seeing Lin Chaoyang's cheerful smile and his request to build good relationships with those executives, Su Yu suddenly had a feeling that he might be planning to retire.
However, considering how young Lin Chaoyang was, he probably wouldn't have such plans, right?
Power was equivalent to responsibility, and responsibility was a constraint, which he disliked.
Having been reborn, he only wanted to earn some money, live a carefree, happy life with his wife and child, or travel the world, or find a quiet and comfortable place to live in seclusion.
In fact, he could already achieve this. The reason he was still participating in competitions was merely to help Lin Chaoyang. He knew that if he won the championship of "Masked Singer," with Lin Chaoyang's marketing capabilities, Dynasty Entertainment's dominant position would be incredibly solid.
Su Yu was grateful to Lin Chaoyang, and not only him but also Chen Rong.
This couple had treated him like their own son from the very beginning.
For this reason alone, Su Yu felt he should do something for them.
