The crowd’s ecstatic cheers!
The musicians’ joyful roars!
And the singer, Brown, drenched in sweat, veins bulging, performing with all his might.
Presenting an unparalleled rock live performance.
“Shawn!”
“Shawn!”
“Shawn! Shawn!!”
The venue’s cacophonous cheers gradually transformed into synchronized shouts.
The voices surged wave after wave, unending!
Shawn!
The ruler of the music charts in this era!
He possessed immense confidence and arrogance.
His determination to win was unwavering.
This time, he once again, with his actions and skill, made countless spectators cry out his name!
In the eyes of the audience, there was no Ting Yu, no one else; in this moment, he was the god of rock!
From the producer’s area.
Shawn savored the audience’s roars, tilting his head slightly towards Ting Yu beside him.
However, to his disappointment, Ting Yu’s face remained calm, devoid of any expression. His slightly lowered eyelids even gave the impression he was about to fall asleep.
“This guy is unbelievable, doesn’t he have any emotions?”
Shawn’s joy suddenly faltered. He realized he could never elicit a reaction from Su Yu, not even a hint!
This person was only in his early twenties, yet his composure felt like that of an ancient monster who had lived for decades, his mentality unnervingly stable.
…
INS Entertainment.
John leaned back in his boss’s chair, feet propped on the desk.
He felt a pang of regret.
Regret for smashing that top-tier equipment.
Because the current equipment did not allow him to perfectly experience the sonic impact of Shawn’s song.
“As expected of Shawn, the song he wrote with a few extra days is this explosive!”
Based on his understanding, this song was likely one of Shawn’s most peak career works.
It even surpassed all his previous works during the “Era Music King” period.
John’s smile stretched almost to his ears.
He held a high regard for Shawn’s capabilities.
Apart from his occasional absent-mindedness and tendency to get stuck on things, his talent was undeniable.
…
China.
Lin Family Villa.
Chen Rong brought a plate of fruit from the kitchen and placed it before Lin Chaoyang.
The latter stared intently at the television screen, seemingly oblivious to her arrival.
“Old Lin, it seems you’re quite concerned about Xiao Yu’s performance?”
Previously, when she tried to get Lin Chaoyang to watch shows with her, he showed no interest. But from the moment “Era Music King” began today, Lin Chaoyang had been glued to the TV, incredibly focused, speaking very little.
“The most crucial match, if he wins, will bring unimaginable benefits not only to him, but also to Dynasty Entertainment, Starlight Entertainment, and even the entire China!”
The camera cut to Su Yu. Seeing Su Yu’s calm expression, Lin Chaoyang’s tightly clenched hands unconsciously relaxed.
He seemed to have never seen Su Yu nervous or exhibit significant emotional fluctuations.
This talent, barely in his twenties, possessed a calm and collected demeanor unmatched by his peers.
Lin Chaoyang felt that, in terms of mindset, he himself couldn’t compare to him.
“Our daughter has excellent taste.” Chen Rong picked up a slice of apple with a toothpick, put it in her mouth, and chewed, her eyes fixed on Su Yu on the screen, her brows filled with joy.
Chen Rong had never expected Su Yu to achieve such success in just over two years.
However, she suddenly noticed a hint of gentle melancholy in Lin Chaoyang’s gaze towards her.
“But I’m better than him in taste. My Old Lin is the most amazing man in the world.” She quickly corrected herself.
Only then did Lin Chaoyang’s lips curve slightly upwards.
This man, already the overlord of the C-pop music scene, still acted like a child vying for attention in front of Chen Rong at times.
However, it was precisely these emotional nuances that had kept their marital relationship so strong over the years.
…
“Next, let’s welcome Ting Yu to bring us his new song!!”
Boom!!
After the host finished speaking.
The excited fans of Ting Yu in the venue leaped from their seats, frantically waving their light sticks and glow sticks!
The momentum was immense, no less than Shawn’s performance just moments ago.
Concurrently, many spectators craned their necks, their gazes fixed on the stage.
They weren’t Ting Yu’s fans, but they were Tina’s fans. According to pre-show livestreams, the world superstar Tina would be providing backing vocals for Ting Yu on this episode.
Although “Era Music King” was a professional competition, it was also a variety show.
Tina had never appeared on a variety show before, and her first time was for Ting Yu.
This was enough to make fans eagerly await her appearance.
However.
While everyone waited.
Tina’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
The entire stage lights went out, plunging into darkness, not a single light visible, nothing to be seen.
As time passed, the audience’s shouts gradually subsided.
Everyone stared at the stage, filled with confusion.
What was going on?
Had there been a power outage?
Just as the venue fell completely silent.
The next second!
A virtual image of a priest appeared on the large screen. He held a thick book, looking down at it, and a low murmur began.
“Avemariagraziaricevutaperlamiafamiglia,
(Hail Mary, full of grace, you have blessed my family,)
Conrisentitoconun'amorevoledivinoamen,
(With all I encounter and divine love, amen)
graziechiedoateosignoredivino,
(I ask for your grace, divine Lord,)
inquestogiornodigraziapregoperte
(In this day of grace, pray for me who is a sinner)…”
This prayer in Italian.
Caused the audience to tremble!
Because incorporating religious culture into pop music was generally rare.
Before the audience could react, song information appeared on the large screen.
“In the Name of the Father”
Performed by: Ting Yu / Tina
Lyrics: Ting Yu
Music: Ting Yu
The intro began!
Stage design appeared!
String instruments accompanied the prayer, a sense of oppression and darkness washed over the audience!
It also set the tone for the song.
Another song with a dark style!
However, as the audience marveled at the eerie intro, drums and guitar suddenly joined in.
“Ah~”
“Ah~”
“Ah~”
The sudden, strange screams.
Sent shivers down the spines of the audience!
This shift in style felt like a mysterious and ancient door being pushed open in the dark underworld, unveiling a dark prelude for everyone!
A minute had passed, and it was still just the intro!
This kind of design, after “Hotel California,” the audience had some psychological preparation, so the song’s long intro didn’t surprise them much.
They were more curious about when the stage, currently in complete darkness, would finally light up.
And when Tina would finally appear.
As if reaching a certain point.
Whoosh!
A spotlight descended.
On the stage, a cross slowly lowered from above.
Ting Yu stood upon the cross, appearing like a descending deity, creating an incredibly powerful visual impact!!
