After the elimination rounds were completed, the focus shifted to the highly anticipated battle for the King of Singers.
Although rumors always surfaced online after each episode was recorded, with some saying the Faceless Knight won, or that a formidable substitute singer arrived and dominated to win the title.
However, the most prevalent rumor was that the Dark Night Rabbit won.
These messages, a mix of truth and falsehood, left netizens who browsed the news in a state of confusion.
After both the Faceless Knight and the Black Warrior had finished their performances.
Many people analyzed the situation in the barrage of comments.
This was because the live performances of both singers were incredibly electrifying.
And the Dark Night Rabbit had never showcased such a style.
“If the Dark Night Rabbit is to win the King of Singers, they must not only surpass the Faceless Knight in vocal emotion but also outshine the Black Warrior in stage presence. Neither of these seems to be the Dark Night Rabbit’s forte.”
“Although the Dark Night Rabbit is versatile, their weakest point is this kind of intense, explosive stage style.”
“Heh, your perspective is too limited. I really miss the Hidden Sage; all these words you’re saying now would probably become the Hidden Sage’s best material.”
“Those who saw the live show are laughing silently. I won’t tell you that the Dark Night Rabbit was absolutely divine in this performance.”
As the audience continued to discuss.
On stage, the Dark Night Rabbit had already appeared.
“The King’s Consort”
Performed by: Dark Night Rabbit
Lyrics: Ting Yu
Music: Ting Yu
As the prelude began.
The barrage of comments significantly decreased.
“The shaking wine glass…”
And when the first line was sung.
The entire screen was filled with question marks.
“The backlash came so quickly…”
“This is the signature style of Ting Yu…”
“Holy cow, the Dark Night Rabbit can actually sing rock, and this vocal tone is so wild!”
“Ahhh! Another brand new style!”
“I admit I was an idiot. I was just saying the Dark Night Rabbit had a weakness, and they immediately fixed it. This isn’t a weakness at all; this is clearly the ceiling!”
“Are they cheating? Are they even human?”
“The Dark Night Rabbit’s stage presence is amazing!”
It was indeed almost unbelievable.
This Dark Night Rabbit, possessing such incredible talent, had been playing around in the previous few episodes.
Leading the audience to believe that they only had those few styles.
Now came another major moment of being proven wrong.
Especially the sustained high note at the end.
Not only the audience at the venue but also those watching the live broadcast felt an exhilarating sense of release.
And when Yin Na voted for the Dark Night Rabbit.
The audience who supported the Dark Night Rabbit felt even more satisfied watching her expression.
What could be more satisfying than proving a judge wrong?
And this judge was Yin Na, who had a poor reputation.
Previously, she had consistently claimed that the Dark Night Rabbit was taking a shortcut with their versatile vocal range. This time, the Dark Night Rabbit showed her.
Just because they didn't use it, doesn't mean they couldn't.
That’s right, the Dark Night Rabbit was equally capable of delivering such explosive live performances, which was an unexpected turn of events for countless people like Yin Na.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t, they simply chose not to.
…
After the program aired.
Several hot searches related to “The Masked Singer” instantly climbed the charts.
#Dark Night Rabbit, a singer full of mystery, experts say he is seventy percent likely to be male!#
#Ting Yu, a producer who writes songs for his fans, the most doting producer!#
#Dark Night Rabbit wins King of Singers for three consecutive rounds, who can end this legend?#
In fact, based on their performances in previous episodes, it was difficult to guess their gender with their earlier mellow songs. However, after “The King’s Consort,” people could infer a bit more. This was because girls simply could not produce that kind of vocal tone for “The King’s Consort.”
For girls to sing rock vocals like “The King’s Consort” was considerably more difficult than for boys to sing seductive vocals like “Itchy.”
Therefore, many people concluded that the Dark Night Rabbit was male.
This time.
Ting Yu’s two new songs, propelled by the popularity of “The Masked Singer” and his own fame.
By the latter half of the night.
Both songs had already topped the charts in their respective categories.
Although “The King’s Consort” had an explosive live performance.
Surprisingly, “The Wind Rises” was more popular online than “The King’s Consort.”
Especially on short video platforms.
Many video creators edited anime clips and paired them with “The Wind Rises.”
Because the song perfectly matched the anime, these short videos surged in popularity on the websites, indirectly promoting “The Wind Rises.”
In fact, the market and live performances are two different concepts. Generally, singers choose songs with strong tension for live performances, as this is more effective in captivating the audience and creating a better show.
However, market preferences tend to be mellower. Most listeners prefer catchy and easily singable songs like “The Wind Rises.”
“The ACG (Anime, Comics, Games) track has fallen!”
“The Rock track has also been crushed!”
“Ting Yu has made a great start to the month; he’s unstoppable!”
“Both of these tracks are relatively niche. The next focus will be love songs. I heard that not only Chen Shuhao is releasing songs in the love song category, but many veteran producers are also preparing to release their music. I wonder if Ting Yu will also release a few love songs for fun.”
“I think, knowing Ting Yu’s personality, he probably will.”
Love songs.
This has always been the largest category, and the love song market is immense because everyone has emotions and has liked someone of the opposite sex to some extent. Love songs resonate strongly with emotions.
Therefore, love songs occupy a significant portion of the market in the Chinese music industry.
The number of songs Ting Yu will release this month is expected to break his own record.
Due to the Dark Night Rabbit, there will be at least four songs from this competition. Furthermore, the Opera Association is promoting their “Opera Storytelling” event, and it is rumored that Ting Yu’s songs will be featured. Additionally, “The Legend of Sword and Fairy” is scheduled to be released at the end of the month, and its theme song, insert songs, and ending theme will all be released together.
These are all known songs, and there are still unknown situations.
After all, everyone knows that with Ting Yu’s usual behavior, it’s possible we’ll see him suddenly release a new song on the hot search list without any prior notice.
It’s not impossible, as he has always done things this way.
Therefore, when tallied up, December is likely to be the biggest celebration for Ting Yu’s fans.
…
Dynasty Entertainment.
As the largest entertainment company in China.
The annual gala was naturally star-studded.
Unlike Lin Chaoyang’s birthday banquet the last time.
The Dynasty Entertainment annual gala saw the presence of many singing gods and music gods to show their support.
Even their long-time rival, Peak Entertainment, would be invited.
“Did you hear? Lin Chaoyang will be singing at the annual gala.”
“It’s been circulating throughout the company for a while now, and it’s a song written by the company’s General Manager’s son-in-law, the music god Ting Yu.”
“I wonder if Ting Yu will also perform on stage.”
“Haha, it would be perfect if General Manager Lin and Ting Yu did a duet.”
Everyone at Dynasty Entertainment, from senior management to junior employees, was in high spirits.
After the departure of music god Chen Shuhao, everyone thought Dynasty Entertainment would be affected. Unexpectedly, Lin Chaoyang secretly brought in Ting Yu, who completely overshadowed Chen Shuhao.
This filled the people at Dynasty Entertainment with admiration for Ting Yu.
Although Ting Yu is considered part of Dynasty Entertainment, he has never actually gone to the company.
Legends about him circulated within the company, but no one had ever met him in person.
At this year’s annual gala, Lin Chaoyang revealed that Ting Yu would also be attending, which generated great anticipation among everyone to meet the most brilliant producer at Dynasty Entertainment.
Moreover, he is Lin Chaoyang’s son-in-law. Lin Chaoyang has only one daughter, and everyone knows what that signifies; it is highly likely that the entire Dynasty Entertainment will belong to him in the future.
