"Camera ready!"
"Lights ready!"
"..."
With a series of countdowns.
The live broadcast room of the Era Music Awards finally displayed the picture.
The host, holding a microphone, walked to the center of the stage.
As the lights shone on him, a cheer erupted from the audience.
"Is that him?" Su Yu, sitting in the audience, suddenly raised an eyebrow.
He recognized this person; it was Lin Han, the host of "Masked Singer."
He recalled Zhao Yuan mentioning that this person often sent her tea, so much that their company was almost overflowing with it.
"Lin Han's popularity is extremely high after 'Masked Singer.' He is now the hottest host in the domestic entertainment industry and often attends major events," Lin Yanyu, unlike Su Yu, was fond of browsing gossip online and was very knowledgeable about domestic entertainment.
"His hosting skills are indeed good, and his current achievements are understandable."
Su Yu suddenly remembered that during "Masked Singer," this person had become popular through various memes, and those memes seemed to have been triggered by Su Yu's answers during an interview.
"Welcome all singers and musicians to tonight's Era Music Awards. Since the domestic and overseas data have been unified, the ceremony, which was delayed by a full year, has finally begun today. Over the past two years, the domestic entertainment industry has grown very rapidly, especially in international influence..."
Host Lin Han listed the glorious achievements of the domestic entertainment industry in recent years on stage.
However, although no words specifically mentioned Tingyu, everyone could understand that every sentence was subtly referring to Tingyu.
"Seeing Lin Han on stage really makes me nostalgic for 'Masked Singer'..." Yin Na started her rambling again.
Han Qi didn't intend to respond to her; even the gentle Liu Huan was rendered speechless by her.
"Please welcome popular singer Zhu Xiaoya to the stage to perform a song!"
After the host finished speaking, the lights dimmed.
Then, a young female singer in a gorgeous gown walked onto the stage.
A music awards ceremony naturally requires music.
This segment was for some popular singers to make an appearance.
"Xiao Gong and the others will still have to wait a bit, right?"
Next to Su Yu, the seats for the singer group were still empty, as Gong Juren and Jiang Xiao'e would also be performing.
The songs this time were the lead singles for their new albums, which Su Yu had specifically prepared for them. Moreover, Gong Juren's song had a special meaning for him, which Su Yu had intended specifically for him.
"It's the newcomer segment now. They are all about to be nominated for Singer of the Year, so they are naturally placed at the end," Lin Yanyu brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, tilting her head and gazing at Su Yu with beautiful eyes. "Speaking of which, why did you refuse the program team's invitation to sing?"
"My current status allows me to appreciate their performances from the audience," Su Yu said calmly.
"I wonder how sad your fans will be," Lin Yanyu chuckled, covering her mouth.
"They won't," Su Yu shook his head and said very seriously, "They will feel that sitting in the audience is the appropriate prestige for my current status."
"Let's hope so..." Lin Yanyu gave Su Yu a charming glance.
Her husband was sometimes too arrogant in his words.
But you couldn't find a reason to refute him.
Because what he said was the truth.
...
Five new singers had already taken the stage.
At this moment, a young girl was singing a cute song with her unique baby voice.
"This singer is quite interesting, and the song is also very good," Su Yu couldn't help but praise.
Such a voice was very rare in the Chinese music scene, possessing a strong personal characteristic. However, niche also had its drawbacks, which was that the ceiling for its potential was not very high.
"This is a singer that Xinghui is currently promoting, and this song was written by your disciple, Li Zhizhi..."
Lin Yanyu sighed speechlessly.
As the boss of Xinghui, he didn't even know about the singer his company was currently promoting.
And as a master, he didn't even know about his disciple's currently popular song...
"Ahem... So she's from our company. This girl has a lot of room for growth."
Su Yu touched his nose a little awkwardly.
Indeed, it was a very good song.
He hadn't expected it to be a work by Li Zhizhi, the disciple he had taken in.
Speaking of which, he had only used his divine teaching on Li Zhizhi once, explaining some songwriting techniques to her, and she was able to write such a beautiful song, which showed her terrifying talent.
...
After the cute female singer left the stage.
The host walked onto the stage with a smile.
"Next, we have the biggest treat prepared for everyone at this music awards ceremony!"
As he spoke, he looked towards Su Yu.
"I believe everyone has been waiting for Teacher Tingyu's new song for a long time, right?"
He asked the audience and those in front of the cameras.
"Do I even need to say? It's been almost a month since he released a song!"
"What do you mean almost a month? It feels like half a year since he released a song!"
"Let's just wait. Judging from Tingyu's previous interviews, it might be a while before he releases a new song!"
"During this time, I've been listening to old songs, and I know all of them by heart!"
"As a fan of Tingyu, knowing all his songs isn't basic operation?"
The viewers watching the live broadcast complained.
When the host mentioned Tingyu, the camera also turned to Su Yu below the stage, who was leaning back in his chair, leisurely enjoying the show.
When he realized he was on camera, Su Yu's smile gradually became a little awkward.
"Why are they suddenly mentioning me?"
He grumbled inwardly but still nodded towards the camera.
"Haha, serves you right for not releasing songs!"
"This is a public shaming!"
"The Era Music Awards program team really knows how to play!"
"I get it, the new song is called 'Nod.'"
"Damn it, the fanatical fans are back again..."
This small interlude caused many singers and artists present to stifle their laughter.
This was because most of the people present, not just singers, were also fans of Tingyu.
In the domestic entertainment industry, whether it was the music or film industry, there was a saying.
"You might not be a fan of Tingyu, but your idol might be."
In recent years, Tingyu had never dropped from the trending search lists in the domestic entertainment industry.
This caused immense headaches for many artists who wanted to buy trending topics. If they wanted to spend money to buy a trending topic and surpass Tingyu, the cost would be very high. If they didn't spend money, they simply couldn't get on the trending lists.
"Since everyone is looking forward to Teacher Tingyu's new song, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Now, please welcome Mr. Zhang Wei from the Tingyu Singer Group to bring us a brand new song!"
Seeing that the atmosphere had been sufficiently hyped, the host immediately shouted towards the camera.
As his words fell.
The venue instantly fell silent.
Then, an incredibly enthusiastic cheer and roar erupted.
New song!
Tingyu's new song! Da Feng Novel Network
Did they hear that correctly!!
Amidst the surprised gazes of everyone.
Zhang Wei, holding a microphone, walked to the center of the stage.
