"Ting Yu took off his in-ear monitors?"
In the singer's area, Mina from the UK, who had been closely watching Ting Yu, gasped in surprise as he directly removed his in-ear monitors.
As an insider, she understood better than anyone what this meant for a singer.
"Is there a problem with the equipment?" Tao Xiang Nai also noticed and said with concern.
She had collaborated with Su Yu on a song called "Blue Bird," which was her favorite song, even surpassing that of Miyazono Sawa. Therefore, she was very grateful to Ting Yu and naturally worried when she saw his equipment malfunctioning.
"But it didn't affect him at all..." said Park Yun Min, a singer from Han Guo, with a look of disbelief.
Not only was he unaffected, but Ting Yu's rhythm and pitch were incredibly perfect, and even his emotions were flawlessly conveyed!
Based on their live performance experience, performing in such a large venue without in-ear monitors was akin to being deaf. The only sound on stage was a "buzzing." For Ting Yu to perform so perfectly under these circumstances was simply outrageous!
The other singers were also extremely shocked, staring intently at Ting Yu on stage with wide eyes.
...
Meanwhile.
Ting Yu's action of removing his in-ear monitors was noticed by many audience members.
"Did you see that? Ting Yu's in-ear monitors are malfunctioning!"
"He just took them off!"
"Oh my god, isn't he going to pause the competition?"
"Why should he pause?"
"Do you know how important in-ear monitors are for singers performing live? You can't sing in such a large venue without them!"
"But it didn't affect Ting Yu at all. I actually feel his singing is more impactful now."
"Uh... unbelievable!"
Among the viewers of "Era Music King" were many industry professionals who knew what this incident meant for a singer.
However, Ting Yu was completely unaffected.
This led many ordinary viewers to believe that it didn't matter if he took off his in-ear monitors.
They even felt that Ting Yu's singing became more moving and his emotions more full after removing them.
At this moment, the shock experienced by the industry and the general audience was completely different!
...
The later lyrics were repeated.
However, the emotions escalated like steps, until the backing track played a gunshot sound again, and then...
Liftoff!
"Merciful Father!
I have fallen!
Into a kingdom of unseen sin!
Please forgive me!
My arrogance!
Etched with a loneliness..."
The emotions exploded once more at this moment!
The audience screamed, clutching their heads in excitement!
In the producer's area, apart from a dumbfounded Sean, everyone else wore expressions of deep fear. Yes, fear!
They finally understood why Ting Yu had arrived so early today!
Whether it was the arrangement or the harmony processing, if they were to handle this song, even with a direct copy, it would take at least two to three days. And upon hearing the duet harmony in the latter part, they mentally added another day.
Yet, Ting Yu had created such a terrifying song in just a few hours.
A monster!
This person was a monster!!
During the championship competition, he finally revealed his fangs, appearing before everyone without any concealment!
"I, slowly fall asleep,
The sky, is just dawning..."
Finally.
Amidst the frenzied screams of the audience.
The entire song came to an abrupt end on the final note!
On stage, Su Yu stood still. He suddenly looked at the camera, extended his left hand towards it, and in full view of everyone, slowly clenched his fist, then raised his middle finger.
The universal gesture!
"Wow!!"
How arrogant!
He actually gave the camera the middle finger on the show!
The audience below also saw the gesture, and their cheers erupted like thunder, the sound wave engulfing the entire venue like a torrent!
"Ahhhh! Why do I feel so great seeing Ting Yu give the middle finger!"
"I don't know what happened, but if even the usually good-tempered Ting Yu did this, something must have been incredibly overboard!"
"What else could it be? Ting Yu took off his in-ear monitors while singing earlier, it must be because of that!"
"Could it be equipment failure?"
"Don't kid me. This is the world's top music show. It hasn't had any issues for so many episodes, and it just happens when Ting Yu performs?"
"It doesn't matter. No one expected anything, and since Su Yu felt good, we fans feel good too!"
They didn't fully understand Ting Yu's gesture, but they could roughly guess the reason.
Although Ting Yu often appeared arrogant on the show, after watching his live broadcasts for so many episodes, the audience knew that he was actually the one with the best temper among the producers. If even the honest ones were angered, this incident must have been extremely outrageous.
...
"Haha, he truly is my son-in-law!!"
Jingdu.
Lin Chaoyang slapped his thigh hard and burst into laughter.
He had long figured out what had happened just now.
Although "Era Music King" appeared fair and was supervised by many top global entertainment companies, where there are people, there are interests. The ultimate authority of the show was Wright, an American. For this competition, he exploited a loophole in the rules, giving Sean an advantage, and now he was tampering with the equipment.
It was somewhat despicable, but Lin Chaoyang, having seen such things before, could only sigh helplessly.
At the same time, he understood. If he were in charge, he would also favor Su Yu.
But that didn't mean he wasn't angry.
Now, seeing Su Yu forcefully shut them down with absolute strength, Lin Chaoyang felt incredibly satisfied!
"I've always believed in Xiao Yu."
The mother-in-law's affection for her son-in-law grew with every glance.
Chen Rong looked at the extremely defiant Su Yu on the screen, her heart filled with even greater joy.
...
"F*ck!!!"
At INS Entertainment, John felt an uncontrollable surge of frustration from the bottom of his heart as he saw Su Yu give the camera the middle finger.
He knew what Su Yu meant.
It was clearly a contemptuous gesture towards him.
Even after tampering, it had no effect on Su Yu whatsoever.
That feeling of powerlessness and frustration made him lose his reason.
He grabbed the newly purchased computer monitor on his desk and smashed it against the not-so-top-tier equipment!
"Bang!"
A loud crash.
The newly purchased equipment was damaged again.
Still not appeased, he threw the keyboard and mouse onto it.
"Chairman, the celebration banquet is booked. This time I booked the top floor of a five-star hotel, and I've also invited several female celebrities to accompany us..."
The Director of the Artist Department entered from outside and froze upon seeing the messy office.
What happened?
Hadn't it been tidied up earlier?
Why did it look like this again??
Had he time-traveled??
He was completely bewildered.
He slowly looked up.
And saw the furious John.
"F*ck!! F*ck!!!"
John, already enraged, became even more furious upon hearing him mention the celebration banquet.
He rushed to the Director of the Artist Department and kicked the office door shut.
Then.
The Director of the Artist Department's screams echoed from within the office again!
