Actually, at the very beginning, Su Yu had a faint worry in his heart; he was concerned that Han Jiangxue would feel burdened by the live broadcast.
After all, the influence of this live broadcast was extraordinary, and any small detail could be infinitely magnified.
Furthermore, in this competition, Wang Shan had already taken the stage early and delivered a high-quality song to compete, which undoubtedly brought immense pressure to Han Jiangxue.
However, Han Jiangxue's ability to handle pressure clearly far exceeded Su Yu's imagination.
She was much stronger than Su Yu had thought, and she perfectly sang “”, foam” on stage.
At this moment, looking at the screen filled with barrages like a roaring tide—with words like “Good,” “Kneeling,” and “Must Win” appearing one after another—Su Yu deeply felt that this was enough to explain everything.
Due to the previous incident with the music critics, the production team decisively removed the music critic review segment from this live broadcast and even canceled their voting rights, a move that made the audience and netizens feel incredibly comfortable.
They believed that having the audience vote directly to determine the rankings was the fairest and most impartial method.
When Han Jiangxue walked off the stage, the confidence that was originally on Wang Shan's face in the singer's lounge instantly disappeared without a trace, replaced by solemnity and gloom.
There was really no other way; this time it was a live broadcast, and during rehearsals, no one had performed in front of the other singers.
This meant that he had no idea that Han Jiangxue's “”, foam” had such powerful destructive force.
Although he did not believe that the combination of He Wei and He Xi would lose the competition, Han Jiangxue's current popularity was simply too high, something he, who had lost all three previous battles, could not compare to.
Therefore, at this moment, Wang Shan strongly felt a sense of crisis; he knew that he would very likely lose this competition again.
After Han Jiangxue left the stage, the last singer of the night stepped onto the stage.
However, with Han Jiangxue's “”, foam” having already stunned the entire audience, this singer also bore immense pressure; when he finished singing his song, even he himself felt that he was completely finished.
And the feedback from hundreds of audience members on site also made him feel a deep sense of despair.
Clearly, advancing in the breakout round was already impossible.
After all seven singers from the breakout round had finished performing, the General Director of the production team slowly appeared, holding the rankings of the seven singers for this competition.
After a series of lengthy and tedious suspense-building and advertising segments, the results of the breakout round were finally announced.
Han Jiangxue easily claimed first place in this round with an excellent score of 30 votes higher than the second-place contestant, successfully advancing to next week's semi-finals.
And Wang Shan was precisely that second-place contestant, 30 votes behind Han Jiangxue. As for Hua Huoxing?
Although he had made some changes in this competition, his audience appeal had already been ruined, and he ultimately ranked sixth, being directly eliminated.
The Tidal Wave combination, ranked third, and Liang Shu, ranked fourth, successfully achieved a comeback and entered the semi-finals.
“Alright, it’s time for us to go back too! The company has already prepared for the promotion of “”, foam”; it will launch at midnight, directly kicking off the September new season!”
After seeing Han Jiangxue take first place, the smile on Han Jianhua's face never disappeared.
Especially after seeing the barrage that read, “In front of Jiangxue Goddess, all opponents are, foam!” his mood was even more joyful.
Even as Su Yu watched them leave, he could still hear Han Jianhua humming happily, “All are, foam... all are, foam...”
Well, perhaps Han Jianhua only remembered this one lyric from beginning to end, but it seemed this one was already enough, wasn't it?
After Su Yu returned to the villa, his phone suddenly rang.
The caller was naturally Han Jiangxue, and it was a video call.
“Congratulations, Senior Sister, on taking first place; it’s well-deserved. Your performance tonight was perfect!” Su Yu said with a smile as he answered the call, first offering his sincere congratulations.
“Cough cough!” But before Han Jiangxue in the video could speak, Su Yu heard two dry coughs.
Then, Han Jiangxue smiled and turned the camera to a plump figure: “Junior Brother, Teacher Han wants to talk to you.”
And the person in the camera was none other than Han Zhuoma.
Su Yu had completely not expected Han Jiangxue to pull such a move.
However, her doing so was clearly also because her relationship with Han Zhuoma was very good.
Otherwise, she would absolutely not be so rash.
“Hello, Teacher Han! I am Su Yu!” Su Yu greeted politely.
He was filled with admiration for this Teacher Han.
This Han Zhuoma was extremely similar to the one on Earth; after becoming famous, she began to devote herself wholeheartedly to charitable causes.
She was a singer and philanthropist who was very worthy of people's respect.
Moreover, Su Yu had heard before that Han Zhuoma generally only took on a few variety shows to earn money when she lacked funds for charity.
After earning money, she would continue to go back to doing charity; this was truly very, very impressive.
“I always hear your songs, but this is the first time I’ve seen you in person; you are truly too handsome! I’m actually looking for you this time to ask for a song. You’ve written songs for Jiang Xue, Xie Jie, and Hu Zhixuan, but you’re missing me, and that’s not good, is it? After all, it’s a competition, and I can’t lose too badly, can I? So, I came to Jiang Xue and asked her to help me contact you.”
Han Zhuoma's personality was very straightforward and she didn't beat around the bush.
After being surprised by Su Yu's handsome looks, she immediately brought up the matter of requesting a song.
She had very good relationships with the other singers, so after hearing that Xie Jie and Hu Zhixuan had both successfully requested songs from Su Yu, she couldn't sit still anymore.
Although she didn't have much money in her hands, buying one of Su Yu's songs seemed to be enough, right?
And Su Yu's songs were so popular; after going online, she could earn a lot of money to do charity, so how could this deal be a loss?
“Teacher Han, you’re too kind. How about this: in a few days, I’ll give you a song, and all the future song royalties will be donated to Teacher Han’s charity fund! My health isn’t very good, so I can’t personally help, but I can contribute a small amount of money.” Su Yu thought for a moment before deciding to support Han Zhuoma’s charity work.
Therefore, he acted uncharacteristically, abandoning his money-loving nature and being generous for once.
He planned to customize a song for Han Zhuoma first thing tomorrow morning, as it would be too difficult to get a suitable song for Han Zhuoma from a random song package, because none of them were grand enough!
After Han Zhuoma heard Su Yu's words, she was a bit stunned.
Write a song for her for free? And no royalties! You call this a small amount of money?
My dear, you are truly too humble.
Do you know how much the monthly download royalties for one of your songs are now?
However, when Han Zhuoma heard the word “charity,” her initial thought of refusal instantly vanished.
“Alright! I will definitely provide you with a detailed list of where every penny of the song royalties is used at that time! I won’t say thank you; people with this kind of heart don’t need those empty words.”
Han Zhuoma readily agreed.
