Starting with Kailina, this musical feast, which could be described as luxurious and enjoyable, officially began.
Following her, Carlo, Fernando, Lucia, Quanshui, and Ivan, each and every one of them pulled out all the stops.
Either they personally took the stage to sing, or they invited famous local stars to perform as support, and the roar of the crowd never stopped from the beginning.
This made netizens feel that the audience on site was even more tired than the lyricists and singers!
However, this lively atmosphere on site was truly amazing!
What's with this feeling of envy?
It wasn't until the last performance of the night that the venue suddenly fell silent.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the stage; they really wanted to know if Su Yu would perform himself tonight, or...
And when the figure on the stage appeared on the big screen, countless audience members at the venue were first disappointed, but then cheered.
The person representing Su Yu tonight was Bi Huo, the Chinese male singer who sang "Destiny" during the South Korea leg.
Audiences from various countries still had some understanding of him.
Regarding Su Yu's decision to use Bi Huo again, netizens from various countries didn't have too many complaints.
After all, who to choose to perform is the lyricist's right, as long as the song is good enough.
It was just a slight disappointment not to see Su Yu personally take the stage.
And the song Bi Huo brought tonight was called "LOSER."
When this song title appeared on the big screen, many audience members felt offended.
Because in Japan, that's an insult.
No one cared about their fragile feelings, because the electric guitar on stage was already roaring.
The passionate opening melody instantly captured everyone's ears.
Then came Bi Huo's somewhat melancholic, yet not slow-paced, singing.
"It's always the same, alone on the street, I'm already tired of these days..."
The song's intro was amazing, and the vocals were very catchy, which made many people forget about the song title.
It wasn't until the chorus of the song arrived that the venue completely erupted.
"I'm a loser, so it's fine if I howl..."
They had already been shocked by several japanese songs written by Su Yu, but they didn't expect that Su Yu's new work would still so easily captivate them!
The stadium with tens of thousands of people was already boiling, and the final climactic song of the finals directly ignited the venue.
Backstage, Sister Quanshui sighed helplessly; she knew that even if she was fully prepared, even if it was her home turf in Japan, even if she personally took the stage to sing, she would still, as expected, be suppressed by Su Yu's work.
Su Yu was like an insurmountable mountain, making her not even dare to try and cross it.
After this battle, Su Yu's position in the japanese music scene is likely to be demonized, and following SSR Girl Group, Zhang Xiaohan, and Xue Qing, Bi Huo will also become popular in Japan!
The first stage of the finals in Japan concluded with Bi Huo's electrifying song "LOSER."
Actually, there's no need to guess; the champion of this round has already been decided.
And the second round of the finals on August 8th will be held in San Francisco, USA.
On the 4th, the results of the first round of the finals were also released; Su Yu's work predictably took first place with 7 points.
Second place was secured by Quanshui, who was fighting on home turf, with 6 points.
Third place belonged to Kailina, with 5 points.
Fourth place was Lucia from Spain, fifth Ivan, sixth Fernando, and seventh Carlo.
However, aside from Su Yu's work being far ahead, the differences between the other six songs were actually not that significant.
Of course, the four lyricists without home advantage were already at a disadvantage, and it's really hard to say who will break through in the end.
Su Yu arrived in the United States early on the 6th, because on the 7th, Disney and MGM were planning to hold a celebration for "this man comes from blue star" breaking $500 million at the box office.
Although the box office hadn't broken $500 million during the day on the 6th, based on the attendance rate, it would be enough when the box office results came out in the early hours of the 7th.
As for why they wanted to hold a celebration? Of course, there were other purposes.
At the celebration, Su Yu naturally became the undisputed focus of interviews for media and reporters from various countries.
As for Kerry, the lead actor? Let's talk after Su Yu finishes his interview.
"Mr. Su Yu, what kind of movie do you plan to film next? Do you have any plans now?"
The blonde, blue-eyed female reporter was the first to ask.
She not only attended the premiere of this movie but also went to the cinema to watch it twice afterward.
She was extremely looking forward to Su Yu's next movie.
"That's a good question! today, in addition to the celebration for 'this man comes from blue star,' I also want to announce another matter! That is, my new movie 'murder on the orient express,' which I wrote and directed, has already been approved. This movie will be jointly produced by Tianxing Entertainment and Disney Pictures, and the lead actor will be the familiar Mr. Robert. The movie is expected to start filming in September and be released in April or May next year!"
Su Yu looked at the female reporter with appreciation and naturally announced the details of "murder on the orient express."
And as Su Yu answered, everyone's eyes also turned to Robert in the crowd.
No wonder this guy was at the celebration today! So he's already the male lead in Su Yu's next movie?
"Mr. Su Yu, what kind of movie is this? From the title, it sounds like a suspense film?" Another reporter loudly pressed.
They really came to the right place today; such big news would surely generate huge buzz.
"This is a detective mystery film! It's also my first time attempting scriptwriting and directing this type of movie, and I hope I won't disappoint everyone."
Su Yu replied with a smile.
"What is the production budget for this movie? What are your box office expectations?"
"The production cost is around 100 million US dollars, and as for box office expectations, it should not be lower than the currently released 'this man comes from blue star.'"
Su Yu was truly in a good mood today, answering almost every question.
There was no other way; the purpose of this celebration, besides promoting "this man comes from blue star," was also to advertise the new project.
The advertising component was even more significant.
A large investment of 100 million US dollars! Even if Disney covered 45%, it was still quite terrifying.
Of course, the total cost of this movie was not as high as "life of pi."
That's because the special effects in that one were the biggest expense! And there aren't many special effects in "murder on the orient express."
"Robert's salary for filming 'iron man 3' was apparently 50 million US dollars, right? Su Yu, you wouldn't have used half of the production cost just to hire Robert, would you? Can you still guarantee the quality of the work like that?"
A local American reporter questioned loudly.
