"Do you have a pen?" Su Yu looked up and asked.
"You're going to reply yourself?" Zhao Yuan asked in surprise.
Su Yu nodded, "If I have time, I'll reply. I'll reply as much as I can."
After reading a few letters, Su Yu suddenly felt quite touched, as if he saw a reflection of his own worth.
Moreover, he saw that these people were influenced by his songs and were living positively.
In Su Yu's mind, scenes from his previous life flashed one by one.
Playing guitar and singing by the roadside on a cold night, watching the snowflakes fall.
Locked in his room, practicing his vocals until his throat was hoarse.
Wasn't his dream to one day have his voice heard by more people, to bring happiness and energy to others?
Receiving so many letters from fans, seeing them living positively under the influence of his songs, he felt he was doing quite well. Now that he had time, there was no problem in replying to some of them.
Moreover, in the postcards from these fans, there were those who became positive after hearing his songs.
He seemed to have decided which song to sing for the finals.
Because there was a song that was very suitable for his past self, he planned to use this opportunity, as a singer, to be recognized by everyone again, and dedicate it to his fans, and also to himself!
Zhao Yuan took a pen from the drawer and handed it to Su Yu. Then, she sat down with a smile, propped her chin with her hand, and quietly watched Su Yu, who was engrossed in writing.
She couldn't quite understand Su Yu. In her impression, Su Yu had never cared about how many fans he had, nor did he ever proactively interact with his fans. But now, he suddenly wanted to reply to their letters.
These overseas fans who wrote letters numbered only two to three hundred. They didn't have much impact on Su Yu's overseas expansion. It could be said that a few more or a few less didn't make much difference.
Yet Su Yu was personally replying to them with such seriousness. Not to mention his current status, even some third-tier celebrities wouldn't do this.
"A man who does things seriously is truly charming," Zhao Yuan murmured, then opened her computer and began to handle her own work.
In the office.
Other than the sound of Zhao Yuan's typing, there was the rustling sound of Su Yu writing.
This continued for over two hours.
Zhao Yuan finished her work. She glanced at the pile of postcards next to Su Yu. After reading them, he had added "Keep going" on the back of each postcard and signed his name.
This was much better than getting a new sheet of paper to write on.
After all, it represented that he had read them and then signed.
"Ms. Zhao, can you still get tickets for 'The Masked Singer'?" Su Yu suddenly looked up and asked.
He saw the postcard that Ji Xiaoyun had sent him a few days ago. Seeing that she wanted to come to the finals of 'The Masked Singer' but couldn't get tickets, he decided to get one for her.
Zhao Yuan shook her head, "There should be two tickets left."
This program was already very popular, and not many internal tickets were reserved. The tickets that Xinghui had were also because Su Yu had mentioned it before, so they kept a few.
"Send them all to her," Su Yu said, then got up and placed Ji Xiaoyun's postcard in front of Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan was stunned at first, then nodded with a smile.
She would not refuse Su Yu's requests.
...
The theme song selection for the game 'Hero' had exploded in popularity from the esports circle following an official announcement.
On the homepage of the game client, there was a poster.
On the poster, Ting Yu and two foreigners were all looking at the final trophy.
It was also accompanied by text full of tension.
"Legends are immortal, who will write the legend, the choice is yours!"
Then, the specific voting rules were described below.
This voting channel would be placed on the official website of 'Hero'.
This official website was accessible to the entire Blue Star, and all countries could enter and vote.
Ting Yu was already very well-known among Chinese players.
After all, he was the most formidable producer among the younger generation in the domestic entertainment industry, bar none.
The other producer was also familiar to game players.
Mike, a well-known producer from the United States, produced the theme song for the previous season.
Originally, the official preparation was for three producers to vote and compete. However, recently, 'Time Music King' was about to start, and another producer had to participate in 'Time Music King', so he had no time to produce and chose to withdraw from the theme song competition.
Therefore, this time it was a competition between Ting Yu and Mike.
"What should I do? Mike is one of the few overseas producers I like..."
"Never mind, I'm a fan of Ting Yu, and Ting Yu is Chinese, so I'll choose Ting Yu without thinking!"
"Don't turn the esports circle into such a mess like the entertainment industry. The esports circle has always been about strength, so let's not bring up nationality."
"That's right. Strength is the foundation of the esports circle. We should choose this theme song in the way of the esports circle."
"But... this theme song is an English song. Has Ting Yu released any English songs?"
"No, that's why I'm worried. This should be the first clash between a top domestic producer and an overseas one. If he loses, it will really affect morale. Also, 'Time Music King' is about to start. Winning would be a good start, but losing might affect Ting Yu's state."
"How come he hasn't released one? 'Stars' has a few Russian lines, he even knows Russian, so English should be no problem."
"Guessing is useless. Anyway, I never look at the producer when I listen to songs. As long as it's good, as long as I like it, I don't care if it's Ting Yu or Mike."
In the esports circle, there has always been a saying.
"When you lose, everything sounds like an excuse."
This saying is very realistic. Even if you have a glorious record, even if you are called the world's number one, as long as you lose, it means you are not good enough, for no other reason.
The esports circle speaks through results, and everyone only cares about championships.
It sounds cruel, but this is esports.
Of course, not all players are fighting for championships.
Some people retire and sell food after gaining fame by playing professionally.
While some people are determined to win championships, they remain on the field even when everyone says they can't play anymore.
Perhaps this is the charm of esports.
The entertainment industry values fan support, while the esports circle values strength.
Esports, strength is king.
Whether it's Ting Yu or Mike, whoever's song is better, whoever's song resonates, people will vote for them, regardless of nationality.
...
Of course.
Unlike the esports circle.
Ting Yu's fans will definitely support his songs.
Therefore, this is Ting Yu's greatest trump card.
Similarly.
Mike has loyal fans not only in the United States but also in many other countries.
In terms of fan numbers, Ting Yu alone, relying on the domestic market, cannot compare to Mike.
To win, he can only rely on quality to get the esports circle to vote, and that's how he can win.
On foreign websites.
Everyone was also discussing heatedly.
Many people had never heard of the name Ting Yu.
But Mike was a strong contender in the top ten of the Time Music charts and had high visibility on Blue Star.
"Is anyone setting up odds? I'm betting on Mike to win this time!"
"Brother, do you think we're stupid? Everyone knows the outcome. Who would buy the opposing side if such odds were set?"
"Hahaha, not necessarily. Ting Yu has a lot of fans in China, and Chinese entertainment circles blindly support their idols, so they will definitely bet on Ting Yu to win."
"That's a good idea. Although the odds are very low, it should be enough to earn some pocket money."
"Set up odds! Set up odds!"
Overseas, it's different from the domestic scene. Overseas, betting is a common practice for any competition, which also stimulates everyone's enthusiasm to participate.
Especially for such global events, the stakes are usually high.
As many people on foreign websites were clamoring to set up odds.
A very authoritative gambling website actually did set up this market.
Ting Yu vs. Mike.
The odds reached 1 to 5.
This means that if you bet 100 yuan on Ting Yu to win, and he really wins, you can get 500 yuan!
And these odds continued to increase after many people bet on Mike.
In just over ten minutes, it had increased to 1 to 5.5!

ps: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone. I returned to my hometown for the holiday and there were too many trivial matters. There are only two chapters today.
