However, before Jin Damin could take action, the MC Band was the first to attack Su Yu.
After taking over from Taylor and becoming the substitute lyricist and composer, the MC Band accepted an interview with the American media.
The MC Band members stated that they would let Su Yu know what true rock music was, and that they would definitely win back first place in the upcoming competition, and so on.
The Blue Star Concert's popularity was incredibly high, so even the American heavy metal rock band, known for its uninhibited style, didn't dare to use overly explicit words to provoke Su Yu.
Their band's reputation was already not very good; if they continued to be so unrestrained, even American netizens, not just those from other countries, would roll up their sleeves and confront them.
Besides, who is Su Yu? It's fine to just rub off his fame and gain some attention.
If they truly angered him, his terrifying fan base would certainly teach their band a lesson.
Of course, being arrogant, they were not truly convinced by Su Yu, this Chinese lyricist and composer.
Although Su Yu had many classic works.
But in terms of rock music, Su Yu seemed to have not too many works.
That's why they said they would let Su Yu see what true rock music was.
This also implied a challenge to Su Yu through rock music.
After all, in rock music, they were professional and highly competitive.
What if Su Yu, in a moment of impulse, insisted on writing an English rock song to compete with them?
What if they won again? Wouldn't that be a massive victory!
Su Yu had no reaction after seeing the MC Band's provocative interview; too many people wanted to ride his coattails, but few dared to take action.
However, Su Yu could make some adjustments to the song for the next concert in London.
Rock music, you say? He really did have a few very classic pieces in stock, and they were finished products that had been rearranged with his master-level orchestration skills.
Su Yu had originally planned to save these songs for the grand finale.
But now that someone was provoking him, he might as well just take them out and crush the opponent.
The number of times Su Yu had been challenged was few and far between, not because there were few people who wanted to challenge him.
Rather, it was because in the face of every challenge, Su Yu would always come up with extremely exaggerated works to respond.
This made those who wanted to challenge him feel very apprehensive.
Think back to Lin Feng, who publicly challenged Su Yu's pure music at Chen Yixun's concert last time.
Su Yu not only slapped him in the face with a pure music piece on the spot, but even at the agreed-upon decisive moment, he brought out another work whose quality and standard were far beyond anyone's reach.
This clearly showed that one slap was not enough; he wanted to hit twice, and each time harder than the last!
Therefore, before issuing a challenge, it's best to be prepared to be humiliated.
Clearly, the MC Band's investigation into Su Yu was not thorough, and they did not know Su Yu's personality.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have made such an unwise decision.
......
On June 6th, Su Yu and his entourage had already arrived in Edinburgh. The previous concert was held in London, so like with Japan, the second concert was held in a different city.
Just before the live broadcast began, as Su Yu and other lyricists and composers entered one after another, reporters from various countries blocked them outside.
Because of the MC Band's provocation, Su Yu had not responded, but no one felt that Su Yu was afraid; they only thought he didn't put the MC Band in his eyes.
So during the interviews, reporters kept fanning the flames, hoping that both sides would truly get emotional and 'fight' on stage!
"Su Yu, why haven't you responded to the MC Band's challenge? Did you not see the message? Or do you disdain to reply?"
An American reporter, like a cuckoo usurping a magpie's nest, asked first.
"Watch tonight's competition. I've prepared a rock song," Su Yu knew exactly what these people were thinking.
So his answer was extremely aloof.
However, Su Yu's single answer directly caused a cerebral climax among the group of reporters.
Was Su Yu indirectly accepting the challenge? Otherwise, why would he prepare a rock song?
Good heavens, what big news!
No, they had to release this news immediately to grab the attention.
If they were late, everything would cool down.
So, while the MC Band was still in the dark, netizens from various countries already knew this exciting news immediately.
The news that Su Yu would perform a rock song on the stage of the 14th episode also attracted high attention from netizens worldwide.
Even some rock singers and bands, both domestic and international, cast their eyes upon him.
Because even this group of people was very curious about what kind of rock song Su Yu would bring to the challenge.
The live broadcast began, and ten groups of lyricists and composers took the stage.
The MC Band is a 5-member band, and because it was their first public appearance, all of them went on stage.
The five members of the band each had distinct personalities, and their attire was very punk.
But Su Yu frowned the moment he saw them.
It wasn't that Su Yu judged people by their appearance, but these five individuals' behavior and attire were truly very unconventional.
They were completely different from the other nine lyricists and composers, even somewhat out of place.
Kailina, who specialized in opera metal, wasn't that unconventional or exaggerated, was she?
She wanted to blend in with the lyricists and composers from various countries, even though she also had an impulsive and wild heart.
But the MC Band?
Su Yu shook his head, not even wanting to look at them again.
As for competing against such opponents? Su Yu lost even more interest.
As the first-place winner from the previous round, Su Yu drew lots first, and this time he drew lot number 5.
This made the lyricists and composers on site feel the pressure.
Whoever drew lot number 6, wouldn't they be able to directly announce their GG for this round?
Ida Shoichiro, who was in second place, continued his streak of good luck, drawing number ten, the last to perform tonight.
And whether it was intentional by the organizers or not, the MC Band actually drew lot number 4.
They would perform before Su Yu.
The darkest 'death slot' was drawn by the Russian lyricist and composer this time.
This instantly relieved many of the lyricists and composers who had not yet drawn lots, and they quickly stepped forward to draw their performance order.
The first to take the stage tonight was the South Korean lyricist and composer Jin Damin.
His musical style leaned towards boy bands and girl groups; in the previous episode, he invited a South Korean girl group with whom he had an ambiguous relationship to assist him.
This episode featured a famous South Korean boy band.
Singing, dancing, and rapping—a series of performances that left the audience at the scene stunned.
When the song ended, the applause from the audience was also continuous.
This made Jin Damin very satisfied!
As for whether to provoke Su Yu a second time to gain some attention? Jin Damin planned to see how Su Yu dealt with the MC Band in this round before making a decision.
One after another, works took the stage, and soon it was the MC Band's turn.
The five highly individualistic members also brought a heavy metal rock song.
For those who liked this style, they truly loved it to their core.
But for those who didn't like it, they truly found it extremely annoying!
However, the audience's feedback was quite good, and the atmosphere quickly heated up.
