The moment the A section of the song began, it was like a beautiful musical storm, instantly sweeping through the entire venue.
The professional music critics were all immersed in the melodious and graceful tune, their faces revealing undisguised astonishment.
Their expressions were as if they had suddenly discovered a vibrant oasis in a barren desert, astonishing beyond words.
When the more soaring and passionate chorus of the B section surged forward like a rushing tide, the audience was instantly struck by this sudden shock, each one dumbfounded, as if time had stopped at that moment.
Their eyes were wide, their mouths agape, their faces full of disbelief.
Originally, they had anticipated this song to be a warm and healing style, like the gentle warmth of spring sunlight softly comforting people's hearts, and certainly not featuring such impactful high notes.
However, reality gave them a huge surprise.
This song was like a mysterious treasure, seemingly perfectly encapsulating everything they deeply yearned for.
Thus, after Han Jiangxue finished performing the wind rises, the music critics at the scene were like ignited flames, instantly entering a mode of frantic praise.
They no longer simply used direct words like “great,” “awesome,” or “holy cow” to express their inner shock, but instead used more sophisticated vocabulary to cleverly package the audience's astonishment.
They used “heavenly sound, lingering echoes, lasting for three days” to describe Han Jiangxue's singing, and “soul-stirring, utterly captivated” to express their love for the song.
After all, their duty was to use the most beautiful language to fully showcase the charm of music.
Well, actually, the music critics on this variety show are indeed responsible for praising the singers.
Moreover, the singers who can participate in the competition here are all prominent figures in the music industry; even newcomers, though just starting out, have strong capital fully supporting them, so the music critics naturally dare not easily offend them.
However, just after the music critics were full of praise for Han Jiangxue's singing ability and stable performance, a music critic with a small mustache suddenly changed the topic.
He asked with an expectant tone, “Teacher Han, this is your second collaboration with Teacher Su Yu, isn't it? In the subsequent competitions, will you still perform Teacher Su Yu's new songs? I personally adore your previous collaboration, flowers bloom at parting, and with the wind rises, Teacher Su Yu's lyrical and compositional skills are clearly more mature. Is this a later work of Teacher Su Yu?”
Well, after this music critic's mention, the netizens finally woke up as if from a dream.
Yes, this was already Su Yu and Han Jiangxue's second collaboration.
Moreover, this song was indeed more mature and more captivating this time.
This also made the name of Su Yu, this new lyricist and composer, leave a deep impression in everyone's hearts once again.
Seeing this scene, Su Yu couldn't help but feel an inexplicable joy.
For some reason, he suddenly found this mustachioed music critic particularly pleasing to the eye.
It was precisely after the mustachioed man asked questions about him on the spot that the entertainment prestige value in the system's backend finally began to grow rapidly at an incredible speed.
One should know that even when Han Jiangxue was singing, his prestige value did not increase so quickly.
Moreover, his entertainment prestige value had already reached over 900,000 at this time, on the verge of breaking through the one million mark.
“There will definitely still be opportunities for continued collaboration, and my junior is truly a very talented lyricist and composer. The creation time for the wind rises was indeed a bit later. My junior…”
Han Jiangxue answered very seriously, her eyes filled with admiration and approval for Su Yu.
She naturally wanted everyone to witness Su Yu's outstanding lyrical and compositional abilities.
Moreover, her affectionate use of “junior” in every mention made many netizens in the bullet comments extremely excited.
However, this broke the hearts of countless of Han Jiangxue's appearance fans.
Their fragile hearts seemed to shatter at this moment.
But in contrast, Su Yu's prestige value soared like a rocket.
Just as the results of this episode were announced, and Han Jiangxue successfully challenged and topped the charts with the wind rises, Su Yu's prestige value finally broke through one million!
At this moment, System Miss's pleasant voice also rang out in Su Yu's mind:
“Congratulations, host, your entertainment prestige has reached one million, completing the lifespan mission.
Reward received: three years of lifespan; Iron Chest × 2.
Lifespan Mission Four issued: Reach ten million entertainment prestige within one year.
Mission Reward: 30% improvement in condition; Bronze Chest × 2.
Mission Failure: Condition worsens, lifespan reduced by one year.”
After hearing the system's voice, Su Yu felt an indescribable surge of joy.
Because the reward for this new mission was to directly restore his body!
Although he still had more than three years of lifespan now, his physical condition was merely that his illness was no longer worsening.
This physical condition made Su Yu constantly uneasy.
After all, as long as his body didn't truly improve, his worries would not be eliminated.
Moreover, don't forget, that seemingly unconventional authoritative expert had told him to live a life of asceticism, like a monk.
If he continued like this, how could he properly face his feelings for Han Jiangxue?
If Han Jiangxue truly fell in love with him one day, was he supposed to make Han Jiangxue live as a widow?
Therefore, compared to gaining more lifespan, curing his incurable disease was the most crucial thing.
Now, his fame was growing, and his wealth was increasing; he didn't want to spend his entire life alone.
“System Miss, open the two Iron Chests!” Su Yu urgently called out to the system in his mind.
A brilliant light flashed, and System Miss's gentle voice came:
“Congratulations on obtaining: Intermediate Piano Performance; Intermediate Acting; Intermediate Screenwriting; Chu Liuxiang Legend series novels, eight volumes.”
“System Miss, I love you to death!” When he saw the rewards this time, Su Yu was so excited he almost jumped up.
He currently had four songs in hand, so he wasn't lacking in song resources for the time being.
Moreover, the three intermediate skills he obtained this time were indeed very practical.
With the system, he didn't have to worry about biting off more than he could chew.
After all, since the Iron Chests could now yield intermediate skills, then the higher-level chests later on would surely have advanced, top-tier, and master-level skills, right?
Su Yu currently didn't plan to step into the spotlight, so these skills would serve as an accumulation.
However, novels, especially long martial arts novels, were something he urgently needed.
Su Yu had already made the worst-case scenario plan: if the Iron Chests didn't yield a long martial arts novel, he would spend 10 million chinese yuan to customize one from the system.
Su Yu had previously tried to check the cost of customizing a long, martial arts novel, and it was indeed incredibly expensive.
