Good Senior Sister: "The Wind Rises has been recorded. You can listen to it."
Su Yu replied almost instantly: "Received!"
Then, he impatiently downloaded the audio file sent by Han Jiangxue, skillfully put on his headphones, and immersed himself in the upcoming musical feast.
It must be admitted that the accompaniment of a professional band is simply worlds apart from electronically synthesized music.
The rich and layered melody seemed to transport people into a whole new musical world, sounding much better than electronic synthesis.
And the moment Han Jiangxue's clear and pure singing flowed like a stream, a brilliant smile bloomed on Su Yu's face.
Her singing skills are already not inferior to some second-tier singers who have debuted for many years, he secretly marveled in his heart.
This kick-off match, as long as she performs normally, a successful kick-off should be without suspense.
Moreover, in the high-pitched parts, Su Yu could clearly hear that there was no post-production tuning; this was entirely Han Jiangxue's real singing ability and voice.
This made the kick-off even more stable.
Although Su Yu yearned to listen to this beautiful singing many more times, he knew that Han Jiangxue on the other end of the phone must be waiting for his evaluation as the creator.
So, he gave a very sincere and extremely high evaluation, without the slightest bit of insincerity.
Su Yu: "Absolutely perfect! Even better than I imagined! Your singing skills are truly amazing! This kick-off is a sure thing!"
Looking at Su Yu's slightly exaggerated but sincere evaluation, Han Jiangxue, for some reason, smiled slightly, her lips curving upward.
She felt that her junior brother was truly interesting.
Good Senior Sister: "I understand my own singing skills; it's actually because your song is well-written. If this kick-off is successful, I'll treat you to dinner."
Su Yu replied instantly: "It's a deal! If you need new songs, remember to contact me. Though I'm not very talented, I do have a few songs in stock!"
At this moment, Su Yu still didn't forget to recommend his own songs, which made Han Jiangxue, upon seeing this message, couldn't help but show a helpless yet gratified smile, thinking to herself: This junior brother is really persistent.
Good Senior Sister: "I won't be polite. Alright, the first episode of The King of Singers is about to start. See you later."
Upon seeing this message, Su Yu suddenly remembered that tonight was the broadcast time for the first episode of The King of Singers.
After sending a "See you later," he quickly clicked open the first episode video of the variety show on his computer.
Well, you don't know until you see it, and once you see it, you're shocked.
After watching the entire episode of the variety show, Su Yu felt as if his eardrums were about to shatter.
High notes, high notes, still high notes; the seven initial singers were like a carnival of high notes, all showcasing their high-pitched techniques!
However, it must be said that among these seven initial performers, at least five of them had the singing level of first-tier singers.
This powerful and magnificent lineup of singers truly surprised Su Yu.
Su Yu also found a slip-up in the entire variety show: none of the seven initial performers sang new songs.
They either sang their own famous songs or covered some classic songs from Blue Star China, entirely for the competition, to get good results!
The first place in the first episode was ultimately taken by a national team singer named Han Zhuoma, which Su Yu felt was entirely well-deserved.
However, Su Yu was not too worried about Han Jiangxue's kick-off.
He thought to himself, if they keep covering classic old songs, the audience will definitely get aesthetically fatigued. At that time, Han Jiangxue appearing on stage with a new song of above-average quality would definitely add a lot of points.
Perhaps these bonus points could even bridge the gap between Han Jiangxue and these national team-level singers?
Just then, the phone's message notification sounded. Su Yu looked down and saw it was a message from Han Jiangxue.
Good Senior Sister: "Did you watch the first episode? Do you still have confidence that I can successfully kick off now?"
Su Yu replied without hesitation: "Absolutely! If they keep singing high-pitched songs, the audience will get aesthetically fatigued! The Wind Rises in your kick-off episode will definitely bring a different feeling to this stage! Our singing skills might be slightly inferior, but our song is fresh and takes an unconventional path!"
After seeing Su Yu's confident reply, Han Jiangxue's previously slightly nervous mood seemed to dissipate all at once.
Moreover, Su Yu's analysis made a lot of sense! She also felt that the high-pitched songs in today's first episode were a bit inappropriate.
Although they could showcase their singing skills, listening to so many high notes would make the live audience feel annoyed.
Good Senior Sister: "Then I'll take your auspicious words! I'm going to practice singing. I must display the most perfect singing skills during the recording! Only then can I live up to your song!"
Looking at the message from Han Jiangxue, Su Yu was speechless for a moment.
He still wanted to chat a bit more, but as a result, his senior sister's desire to win and ambition were stirred up by him, and she actually ran off to practice singing?
He truly regretted saying, "Our singing skills might be slightly inferior"; now he really shot himself in the foot.
Su Yu shook his head helplessly, glanced at the results of Flowers Bloom at Parting and his current entertainment prestige value, and then, with a satisfied expression, went straight to sleep.
The download volume of Flowers Bloom at Parting had already reached 11.24 million, sitting firmly at the top of the new song monthly chart, with a lead of over 3 million downloads over the second place!
Although the song's download growth rate had slowed down, who could guarantee that it wouldn't break through 20 million downloads by the end of the month? Thinking about the money he could earn next month, Su Yu would wake up laughing even in his sleep.
And at this time, his entertainment prestige value had already reached 91,139, which was not far from his expected 100,000 prestige value!
Now, what Su Yu was most looking forward to was the result after his novel received a recommendation tomorrow.
Compared to a song's lyricist and composer, the identity of a novel author should increase prestige value more directly.
As long as readers liked his novel, he should be able to increase his prestige value, after all, he was the author himself.
Su Yu fell into a dream amidst his beautiful visions for tomorrow, and what he didn't know was that Hu Jian had hit a wall in trying to get a better recommendation slot for his new book!
Although Chief Editor Wu Yue trusted Hu Jian's judgment and ability very much, all recommendation slots were arranged in advance. Suddenly raising the recommendation level of Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword would only cause dissatisfaction among Chief Editors of other categories.
However, the Chief Editor still promised Hu Jian that as long as the book's initial recommendation performance was strong, it would definitely be given a better position during the next recommendation.
And after Hu Jian left, Chief Editor Wu Yue directly found the novel Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword on the internal platform and started reading it.
Who at his age doesn't like wuxia?
Since it was a wuxia novel that could move Hu Jian, how could Wu Yue resist not taking a peek first!
"Holy cow!" As a result, half an hour later, Wu Yue's national expletive came from the Chief Editor's office!
