Because of the super high popularity of the semi-finals, "The King of Singers" finals today gathered even higher attention and popularity.
Last week, the production team had already announced the rules for this round.
The finals are divided into two rounds. In the first round, the four contestants will each invite a guest to perform together. This round will not eliminate any singers, but the number of votes will be added to the votes from the second round's individual stage to determine the final ranking.
Therefore, to achieve good results, both rounds of the competition are very important.
This led countless viewers and netizens to frantically guess who the four singers would invite as their supporting guests this week.
In particular, Han Jiangxue's supporting guest had the highest discussion.
And the person netizens most hoped to see, of course, was Su Yu, the lyricist and composer who single-handedly sent Han Jiangxue into the finals.
After all, Su Yu is not unable to sing; many netizens have heard Su Yu and Han Jiangxue's duet of "plain face."
The production team naturally capitalized on this wave of popularity, releasing various true and false insider news online to spark imagination.
So, the moment the live broadcast began today, a torrent of bullet comments, like thousands of troops galloping, swept across the screen.
The production team was also shrewd enough; the order of appearance for the first round would be in reverse of the previous round's ranking.
However, the guests invited by the four groups of contestants would only be truly revealed after they stepped onto the stage.
This instantly whetted the appetites of the audience and netizens because no one knew who the guest invited by each singer would be until the very last moment.
It was even more impossible to confirm whether the person Han Jiangxue invited was truly Su Yu!
Su Yu was actually guessing who the other three would invite to help. He knew that if the guest wasn't chosen well, it wouldn't just fail to add points, but could directly deduct them.
However, when Su Yu saw Xie Jie and Zhang Na take the stage together, he was a little speechless.
It seemed Xie Jie was content with reaching the finals, otherwise, why would he bring someone with almost no singing ability?
Could it be that they came to show off their affection? That would truly be infuriating!
However, amidst the frenzy of the live audience and bullet comments, the song information they were performing appeared on the big screen.
The moment he saw the song title, Su Yu was stunned!
Because the song Xie Jie and Zhang Na were performing tonight was actually "plain face"!
Well, this was something Su Yu had never expected. It seemed the performance rights were sold by Li Dayue. After all, these minor matters are handled by the company; Su Yu only needs to collect the money.
Otherwise, if everyone who wanted to sing his songs needed his personal approval, he wouldn't be able to do anything else all day.
After all, his songs are incredibly popular now, and have become the favorite of many female streamers on live broadcasting platforms.
Tianxing Entertainment has already collected a lot of such copyright fees for Su Yu.
There are also KTV copyright fees, all managed by Tianxing Entertainment's Music Department.
Although Su Yu understood this, since Xie Jie wanted to sing his song, couldn't a green bubble have just told him? Why did he have to buy the performance rights?
Given their current relationship, there was no need to be so formal, was there?
Just then, Su Yu's phone rang. The caller was Li Dayue.
"After the fact?" Su Yu answered the phone, annoyed.
"Xie Jie wanted to give you a surprise, so he asked me to help keep it a secret. The company knows you two have a good relationship, so they didn't charge him a fee," Li Dayue replied with a chuckle.
Since he was asked to keep it a secret, couldn't he be a little smug about it afterward?
"Who else will sing my songs? It's not like Hu Zhixuan's side will also be my song, right?"
Su Yu's thoughts raced, and his next question directly made the smile on Li Dayue's face freeze.
"Cough, cough, cough, you guessed it, I didn't say it!" Li Dayue coughed twice, admitting it glumly.
Sure enough, Su Yu had guessed correctly.
"Alright, I know. But if Giant Shark, All-Stars, or Ocean want to perform them, you need to keep a close eye on them and absolutely not agree!" Su Yu reminded him very seriously.
"You don't need to tell me! Those who helped them suppress you last time are all on my blacklist! Want to sing your songs? In your next life!"
Li Dayue replied with extreme arrogance and confidence, as if these songs were his own creations, filled with pride!
Su Yu was a little speechless. He didn't expect Li Dayue to be so vengeful! But that was good.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yu watched Xie Jie and Zhang Na's performance.
In fact, the moment the song title appeared, both the live audience and the bullet comments exploded because they knew this song!
"【If I see you again, will I still feel anything?
Back then, with a plain face, how pure could one be, that pure...】".
So, when the song reached the chorus, tens of thousands of people in the audience actually sang along!
This scene was something Su Yu hadn't expected. He had originally thought that with Xie Jie bringing Zhang Na, their votes in the first round wouldn't be high.
But now, seeing the massive sing-along it caused on site, Su Yu changed his mind again.
It seemed he was still too naive, still not quite understanding how to better cater to the audience.
Looking at the excited faces of the audience, shouting and singing loudly, Su Yu knew that Xie Jie's votes this time would definitely not be low.
At this moment, the bullet comments were also filled with the strong envy of netizens.
"Damn it, why didn't I get tickets! The atmosphere on site is too good!"
"Damn it, after listening to so many new songs, I finally have one I can sing along to. Too bad I'm not there, I'm so envious."
"'plain face' is definitely an underestimated song among Su Shen's songs; its download count could actually increase even more."
"Which of Su Shen's songs isn't good? Go check how many of Su Shen's songs are in the top fifty of the hot songs chart! Don't always just stare at the new songs chart."
Watching the bullet comments scroll by, Su Yu's lips curved into a smile. More and more people knew him now, and these were all prestige points!
However, Su Yu himself hadn't really looked at the hot songs chart mentioned by this netizen. He decided to open the App and check it now.
And he didn't know until he looked, but once he did, Su Yu was stunned.
Looking at the top ten of the hot songs chart at this moment, almost all of them were songs with lyrics and music by Su Yu.
This hot songs chart is ranked by playback volume, and the number one song on the hot songs chart right now was none other than "big fish"!
The playback volume of this song had already exceeded 2 billion! It was simply too terrifying.
The second place on the hot songs chart was Tianhou Ye Mei's "easy to be hurt woman," with over 2 billion plays as well.
Third place was "the wind rises," fourth place was "flammable and explosive"...
Well, there was almost no room for other singers in the top ten.
These songs by Su Yu almost immediately dropped off the new song chart and then surged into the hot song chart.
