The thrilling performance of “Beat It” concluded, and the cheers and screams from the audience only gradually subsided after Su Yu and the others had left the stage and were completely out of sight.
This caused the Russian songwriter who was to perform after Su Yu to turn pale.
What kind of grudge is this!
It was the MC Band, who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, that offended you! It wasn't me.
Big shot, I'm still your fan, a true fan! I can recite your “Stars” backward.
However, her inner thoughts were unknown to anyone, and the reception of her work tonight was self-evident.
But even before Su Yu’s “Beat It” finished, it had already spread across Blue Star through ten national TV stations and various video live streaming platforms.
The discussion heat almost directly dominated the hot search headlines of various countries.
It was truly because Su Yu had once again quietly done something big! Not only did he wreak havoc in the rock circle, but he also stepped into the dance circle!
At this moment, countless people within the industry hated the MC Band, that troublemaker!
Because they felt that if the MC Band hadn't foolishly provoked trouble, Su Yu wouldn't have staged such an indiscriminate “crushing” in his second performance after his return.
The songs that followed in Episode 14 felt uninspired.
It wasn't that their skill level was low; it was that “Beat It” was too stunning.
Coupled with Su Yu's somewhat shocking dance, it was simply an explosion for Blue Star's entertainment industry.
When Ida Shoichiro's final performance of the night ended, all the songwriters once again took the stage.
At this time, when the members of the MC Band saw Su Yu, they truly avoided him as much as possible.
And one by one, they all stood behind other songwriters, keeping as far away from the camera as possible to minimize their presence.
Meanwhile, Jin Damin, the songwriter from South Korea, looked relieved; thankfully, the MC Band had been the one to stick their neck out.
Otherwise, if he had completed his second provocation of Su Yu, who knew how Su Yu would have dealt with him.
Wanting to ride Su Yu's popularity was true, but if he went up without knowing his own limits and courting death, his popularity would not only not increase, but might even be buried by negative news.
This time, observing the MC Band's subsequent fate might provide the most direct understanding.
Su Yu had no intention of further stepping on the MC Band; in fact, he somewhat regretted overexerting himself tonight.
But this was also quite good; at least from now on, no random nobodies would come to provoke himself.
Dealing with each one individually was too troublesome; a permanent solution was much better.
Jin Damin was the first to draw lots, and perhaps he was blessed with good fortune today, as he hit the mark with one draw, directly picking the red ball.
This meant the main venue for Episode 15 was directly set to be held in South Korea.
...
After Episode 14 concluded, ten new songs were simultaneously released.
This time, almost no songwriter held any unrealistic expectations for their own works.
First place was certainly out of the question; second place was the highest ranking they needed to contend for!
However, to many people's surprise, the discussion surrounding the MC Band was not very high.
This was simply because everyone's focus was concentrated on Su Yu's dance.
In addition to releasing new songs, Su Yu also released a dance MV.
While it was called an MV, it was more like a tutorial video for the moonwalk dance.
This made things truly exciting; whether professional or not, everyone started learning the dance, so who had the time to step on the MC Band?
They were completely not on the same level as Su Yu as songwriters; what right did they have to challenge Su Yu?
This was clearly an attempt to ride Su Yu's coattails.
Meanwhile, the five members of the MC Band, who were suffering from online “cold violence,” breathed a huge sigh of relief.
But this relief didn't last long before the US organizers contacted them, informing them that Episode 15 would be their last.
Well, forced offline!
It was simply that the MC Band's style this time was truly embarrassing for the US.
The domestic US evaluation of the MC Band was also not good, and this trend became even more pronounced with the massive popularity of Su Yu's “Beat It” in the US.
Therefore, the US organizers had no choice but to prepare in advance.
Moreover, the MC Band's strength was truly inadequate; not only could they not be compared to Kailina, but they weren't even as reliable as Taylor!
It was unclear what they were thinking when they chose them to compete.
...
On the 10th, the results for Episode 14 were released.
First place was taken by “Beat It” without any expectation or surprise, by a significant margin.
At the same time, “Beat It” also consecutively topped the new song sales charts in over twenty countries in just three days.
This sweeping dominance truly left all the songwriters and musicians on Blue Star speechless.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Su Yu directly became a legend in the music industry through this song, “Beat It.”
And Su Yu's overseas entertainment prestige value also surged by over 300 million due to the song “Beat It”!
Actually, before this, both “Stars” and “Snow Flower” had brought Su Yu considerable overseas entertainment prestige value.
But these two songs combined only increased it by a little over 100 million!
However, a single “Beat It” directly surged by over 300 million, which even Su Yu hadn't expected.
And this growth clearly showed no signs of stopping; perhaps this was the charm of the King of Pop's work.
Classic song, unparalleled dance steps, simply invincible!
The second place in Episode 14 was taken by Evan, a songwriter performing on home ground in the UK.
This also allowed the UK to rise to sixth place in the overall points ranking with 18 points.
Third place was taken by Ida Shoichiro, and Japan also surpassed Russia by 1 point with a total of 25 points, temporarily sitting in third place.
Jin Damin of South Korea, being the first to perform, gained considerable attention in this round, earning South Korea a valuable 2 points.
In the eyes of South Korean netizens, Jin Damin had already surpassed other South Korean songwriters by a large margin.
This comedian didn't become popular again by riding Su Yu's coattails; instead, he became popular because of his score!
He even washed away the shame of the first season!
Coupled with his stroke of luck that made South Korea host Episode 15, these two things combined made Jin Damin walk with a bit of a swagger.
His identity as a comedian was about to be erased!
As for appearance fees and such, there's no need to elaborate.
Currently, Jin Damin is fully preparing for Episode 15, planning to score at least 2 more points at the home venue!
Fifth place was earned by Italy, who also ranked fifth in the overall points standings with 20 points.
And what was frustrating was that this time, the bottom wasn't the Russian songwriter in the death slot, but the MC Band!
Their sales were the lowest among the ten songs in the previous episode, their discussion volume was the lowest, and apart from the initial attention they received when they provoked Su Yu, no media or reporters paid attention to them later on.
This was extremely awkward.
