After hanging up Qian Jin's call, Su Yu received the rules for the Blue Star Concert competition that he sent.
This time, in addition to the Four Nations Concert countries of China, Japan, South Korea, and the United States, six more countries were added: Russia, France, Italy, England, Germany, and Spain.
The competition format was still broadly divided into two parts: regular season and finals.
There would be twenty regular season matches, with each of the ten participating countries hosting two home games.
The preparation period for composers to create songs was shortened from two weeks to one week.
However, in this competition, composers would not be forced to use the language of the opposing home country for their creations.
Furthermore, the competition format changed from individual battles to a ten-nation battle.
The points earned by each country's representative contestants would all be counted towards their country's total score.
And the rule that determined the current score by one week's download volume was also shortened to three days!
This shortened the time for songs to ferment, making the live broadcast stage a crucial factor in determining the winner!
In the first season, only the top three could earn points, but this time it was the top five.
The first place directly received five points, and subsequent places would decrease sequentially.
After the regular season, the top 6 countries with the highest points would enter the finals.
The grand finals were divided into three matches, with each of the top three qualifying countries having one home game.
Looking at the rules this time, Su Yu inwardly exclaimed, "Good heavens."
If he wanted to participate from beginning to end, he would need to continuously compose for 23 consecutive weeks.
This was an extremely terrifying challenge for any composer.
"When do you plan to participate this time?" Han Jiangxue, who was beside him, also finished reading the rules and asked Su Yu curiously.
A 23-week competition, over five months!
"Mid to late stage, I'll see how things go first. If our China keeps leading, there's no need for me to go up."
Regarding Han Jiangxue's question, Su Yu naturally had nothing to hide about his true thoughts.
Moreover, Su Yu felt that the official side also hoped he would exist as a trump card for catching up on points.
So, he would observe first.
Just the day after Qian Jin called Su Yu, the ten countries participating in the Blue Star Concert had already begun their promotions.
In an instant, the Blue Star Concert, which was set to begin on March 7th, swept across the trending topic lists of various countries.
And the Blue Star Concert App, which was a revamped version of the Four Nations Concert, was also launched simultaneously.
This speed and efficiency were astounding.
Su Yu also downloaded the App, and at this time, all ten participating countries had announced the list of their first-round starting composers.
China's first starter was Lin Feng, one of the Ace Composers.
Japan had a familiar face; it was Quanshui who started.
The United States also had a familiar person, Kailina!
South Korea's starter was not very familiar, as they had lost too badly last time; this time it was a composer named Li Jifan.
The starting composers from the other six countries were also not nobodies; their previous works and styles could be easily found online.
However, as soon as the App launched and the starting lineups of the ten countries were announced, netizens and fans from various countries who didn't see Su Yu's name were not happy!
Su Yu was the overall champion of the last season, winning by an overwhelming margin with an undefeated record!
Even now, Su Yu's works from last year's Four Nations Concert were still on the hot song charts of some countries' music platforms.
This led to netizens and fans from various countries eagerly anticipating Su Yu's return to the stage.
And the participating composers from various countries hoped to defeat Su Yu in the competition, gaining both fame and fortune, and reaching the pinnacle.
While netizens from the newly added six countries were being led by the rhythm, furiously criticizing Su Yu for being cowardly and not daring to take the stage to fight.
The United States, Japan, and South Korea were unusually quiet, even giving a sense of utter silence.
They had personally experienced Su Yu's dominant first season on stage.
Naturally, they understood the terrifying strength of this composing prodigy, Su Yu.
They wished that Su Yu could be permanently sealed on the reserve bench this time.
But you guys? You're still there, foolishly provoking him? You really haven't known death!
And this time, the first live broadcast of the Blue Star Concert would, without a doubt, be held in China.
After all, China was the champion of the previous season.
...
Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was March 1st. On this day, movies released during the Spring Festival, such as let the bullets fly and the breakup guru, were all taken offline.
let the bullets fly was screened for 30 days, earning a domestic box office of 2.539 billion, setting a new record for a single film's domestic box office in China by a margin of tens of millions.
Although its total box office was not as good as monkey king: hero is back and the truman show, a box office of 2.5 billion was enough to shock the domestic film industry.
Subsequently, this movie would be released in Asian regions around China, and it was still impossible to judge what kind of results it would achieve in the end.
By the time the breakup guru was taken offline, its total domestic box office had reached 860 million chinese yuan.
Such a result was truly more than satisfactory for a new director like Deng Yue.
After all, his psychological expectation was 400 million chinese yuan, but the result actually doubled!
Now, Deng Yue would wake up smiling in his dreams.
Of course, while filming his first movie, he also encountered various problems, which made him temporarily not consider starting his next movie.
He planned to learn from Director Zhao Xiaolu, and accumulate more experience before setting off again!
Because Director Zhao Xiaolu's beautiful fate 2 had only been released for less than half a month, and its box office had already exceeded 800 million, making it a certainty that it would once again break a billion in the end.
Although such a result could not compare to the box office of the several movies written by Su Yu, it was still in a league of its own domestically.
Meanwhile, Su Yu had also finished reading the script Gao Bo sent him. He felt that the script for "A Grand Show" had been polished very well, and there weren't many places that needed modification.
However, Su Yu still used his master-level screenwriting skills to perform a second creation on the script.
So when Gao Bo received the revised script from Su Yu and discussed it with his team, his entire team was a bit confused.
Was this still their original script? The extent of the deletions and modifications was too great, wasn't it?
However, after comparing the two scripts, they decisively chose the version Su Yu had revised!
A master is a master; once he makes a move, it's the law of "true fragrance"!
The next day, Su Yu received a call from Ren Nanbei.
"Su Zongjian, the Huaying Award, which will be held on April 20th this year, has just sent you an invitation. Your chinese partners, monkey king: hero is back, and the truman show have been nominated for multiple awards, so, are you going to attend?"
After Su Yu answered the phone, Ren Nanbei's voice came through.
Last year, Tianxing Entertainment suffered a crushing defeat at the Huaying Award.
Even with a high-grossing movie like lost in thailand, they didn't win any awards.
And Hao Ren, who was there, simply didn't attend!
But this time was different; Tianxing Entertainment had multiple films nominated for this award!
chinese partners, beautiful fate 1, monkey king: hero is back, and the truman show, which was released at the end of the Western calendar year.
These films were all considered last year's works, so they were all eligible to participate in this Huaying Award evaluation.
And the achievements of these four films were truly more popular one after another!
They also became an unavoidable presence at major domestic film awards ceremonies.
