“Why would you even ask that? It’s a given! I’ll set off for Yanjing tomorrow to find you and thank you properly. Anyway, there’s still a long time until the semi-finals, and it’s a live broadcast. I, your big brother, happen to have some free time lately.”
Xie Jie was overjoyed when he heard that Su Yu had a song for him.
In fact, he had originally planned to ask Su Yu for another song for the semi-finals.
Moreover, there was still about a month until the live broadcast of the semi-finals.
In his opinion, with Su Yu's strength, writing a suitable song for him would be as easy as flipping his hand.
However, who would have thought that Su Yu would be so helpful, having already prepared a song for him before he even opened his mouth.
“That works too. I’ve moved recently, so Brother Xie can just come directly to my new home tomorrow. I haven’t been to the company these past few days. Oh, by the way, Brother Xie, how were the results for everyone else?”
Su Yu didn't refuse but instead asked about the others' situations.
“This round, your senior sister ranked second. Ahem, we were only one vote apart.”
When Xie Jie said this, he felt a bit awkward, because his first place was indeed a close call.
“Third place was taken by Wang Shan. He performed an original rock song, and the response was quite good. Teacher Han Zhuoma ranked fourth, Hu Zhixuan fifth, Hua Huoxing sixth… I, Han Zhuoma, and Hu Zhixuan, all three of the initial singers, successfully entered the semi-finals.”
Xie Jie did not hide anything, listing out the rankings of the eighth episode's recording one by one.
“When the recording ended today, Wang Shan’s face was incredibly grim! He probably thought he could easily take first place today, but he was crushed by me and your senior sister. If these two episodes air, Giant Shark will probably be furious.”
Xie Jie and Su Yu were quite familiar with each other, and he also considered himself to be on Su Yu's side, so he naturally disliked the singers from Jusha Entertainment.
“We weren’t targeting him; they insisted on participating in this variety show themselves. Who can they blame if their results aren’t satisfactory? Brother Xie, is the ninth episode live?” Su Yu smiled, but he didn’t show this smile.
Wang Shan's singing skills were indeed very strong, and his early rock works were commercial enough.
However, this round, facing the pincer attack of “those flowers” and “give me a reason to forget,” it was simply too difficult for him to stand out.
If the next round, the ninth round, was live, Su Yu planned to have Han Jiangxue perform “foam,” then release it at midnight on September 1st, directly firing the first shot for the September new song chart.
Taking his final step into becoming a high-level lyricist and composer!
“It should be live. The popularity of this variety show is extremely high now, and Hunan TV is also paying special attention to it. They will probably enable live broadcasting, selling a wave of tickets and advertising slots. I’ll ask Nana to inquire about the situation at the station later.”
Xie Jie wasn't entirely sure, he had only heard such “the message.”
However, he had contacts at Hunan TV and could certainly inquire about the specific situation.
“Then I’ll trouble Brother Xie. Oh, by the way, Brother Xie, please go find Teacher Hu Zhixuan. If he has time, you two can come over together tomorrow. I also have a song here that’s quite suitable for him. He invited me to write a song for him before, but I just hadn’t found a suitable one for him.”
Su Yu thought for a moment before speaking.
Since Hu Zhixuan also entered the semi-finals, then that song “never left” could indeed be given to him to sing.
With “foam” anchoring the ninth round, Han Jiangxue's entry into the semi-finals was a sure thing.
And Wang Shan's strength was there; it wasn't difficult for him to advance to the semi-finals, but was entering the semi-finals the end of it?
Su Yu planned to give Wang Shan and Jusha Entertainment a hard time in the semi-finals!
If Han Jiangxue, Xie Jie, and Hu Zhixuan all sang his songs, would Wang Shan still have a chance to enter the finals?
Han Zhuoma from the national team wasn't a pushover, okay?
“No problem! We’re staying in the same hotel; he’s in the room across from mine. I’ll go find him now, I hope he hasn’t left yet!” Xie Jie readily agreed, then hung up the phone to find Hu Zhixuan.
Xie Jie wouldn't feel uncomfortable because Su Yu was going to write a song for Hu Zhixuan; he wasn't that petty.
Moreover, he wasn't a singer from Tianxing Entertainment. Now that he could get two songs from Su Yu, and was about to get a third, what more could he be dissatisfied with?
Plus, his relationship with his older brother Hu Zhixuan was quite good, so he was naturally happy to pass on Su Yu's message.
You know, among the songs Su Yu has publicly released so far, he has only written songs for him, an outsider. Han Jiangxue and Liu Ruyan are both singers from Tianxing Entertainment.
And Xie Jie felt that this time, he might also be able to discuss joining Tianxing Entertainment.
His current management contract was with Hunan TV, so it wouldn't be difficult to leave. The liquidated damages were not as terrifying as those of external entertainment companies.
However, he had to discuss it with his wife after homecoming tonight, as this was a big matter and could potentially affect his future!
After hanging up Xie Jie’s call, Su Yu directly sent the recently acquired “foam” to Han Jiangxue.
Less than ten minutes later, Han Jiangxue's call came in.
“Junior brother, is this song for me to participate in the ninth episode?” Han Jiangxue felt that after what happened last night, she might feel awkward talking to Su Yu.
However, the moment the call connected, she didn't feel that way at all.
Instead, after listening to the new song Su Yu gave her, she felt exceptionally happy and relaxed.
“Yes, the next episode might be live. Senior sister, you must prepare well. When the time comes, make a dazzling appearance and bravely take first place!” Su Yu smiled, cheering Han Jiangxue on.
In fact, Su Yu felt that revealing the secret of his pen name yesterday was a bit too early.
He had originally planned to confess his feelings to Han Jiangxue after his body recovered, but plans often can't keep up with changes.
However, it was good that neither of them brought up what happened last night now.
Su Yu felt that Han Jiangxue probably wasn't ready yet either.
“Next episode, Wang Shan and the others will probably bring out even higher quality songs, since they’ve already lost two rounds in a row. If they lose again, both Wang Shan and Jusha Entertainment will feel like they’ve lost face.”
When Han Jiangxue said this, her voice was light, as if she didn't take Wang Shan and Jusha Entertainment's next move to heart.
If she had been a little worried before, then after just listening to the demo of “foam,” that worry had long since vanished.
In the next round, she had absolute confidence to defeat Wang Shan again.
“Then let them come at us. In the semi-finals, I’ve prepared an even bigger surprise for them…” Su Yu smiled and told Han Jiangxue the content of his call with Xie Jie.
After listening, Han Jiangxue was stunned. It was the first time she felt that her junior brother was truly very cunning.
He had unknowingly set up a net for Wang Shan and Jusha Entertainment, and now he was just waiting for them to fall into it.
“Then I’ll come to your home tomorrow too. I want to hear if the songs you give them are really good!” Han Jiangxue smiled and requested.
“My pleasure!”
