Chapter 282: Chapter 264: Anticipated by Thousands_i

Fei Yang was not the only one keeping an eye on Xian Yu.

After all, Xian Yu is currently a renowned composer in the industry, his appearance in December was both unexpectedly anticipated for many.

The surprise lies in:

The impression that Xian Yu gave to the industry insiders was a composer who extremely enjoyed collaborating with newcomer singers or second-tier and third-tier singers.

But surprisingly, Xian Yu had apparently changed his approach and began touching base with big names?

Last time it was top-tier singer Chen Zhiyu, but now he’s simply chosen the King of Singing, Lan Yan!

And as for what was within expectations:

As a successful composer, Xian Yu certainly had the qualification to appear on the battlefield of December.

Of course.

It was merely a qualification.

Xian Yu was not the most eye-catching figure this December.

Not because Xian Yu was not famous; in the music circle, Xian Yu was already a name worth paying much attention to.

The reason he didn’t draw the public’s attention was that the lineup this December was just too extravagant.

Two Maestros!

Seven Kings and Queens of Singing!

Not to mention the several top-tier singers.

Even when considering only the lineup of composers, Xian Yu dare not say that he would be securely listed right after the two maestros.

Because among the composers involved this time, there were also those who had challenged the position of the Maestro!

Though their rush had failed, or they were still in the process of rushing, it was enough to set them apart from ordinary golden composers—

This was why they were chosen to work with other Kings and Queens of Singing.

Thus, though Xian Yu wasn’t washed out by these people on the battlefield of December, he unavoidably seemed ordinary.

This was the music world’s final season carnival at the end of this year! “Considered this lineup, wow, it really is the music world’s War of Gods!” “The first two places will most likely be taken by the two Maestros, right?” “Fei Yang is most likely to be the champion of the War of Gods. After all, the Great Maestro Yin hasn’t done anything noteworthy in almost a year, so won’t his moves be earth-shattering this time?”

“Are you underestimating Ye Zhi Qiu a bit? Rock n’ Roll Grandpa is invincible.” Maestro Ye Zhi Qju liked to call himself “Old Ye,” but the young generations in the music world wouldn’t dare to call him that, so they preferred calling him “Grandpa”.

“The singer collaborating with Grandpa is Queen Haitang, who happens to be the most formidable rock female singer in Qi Province!”

“Although the two maestros are indeed very fierce, the composers of other Kings and Queens of Singing should not be underestimated. For example, the composer for King Tang Zhen is Lonely. Although Lonely failed his rush for Maestro before, he had achieved a winning streak of eight seasons and even beaten a Maestro once. Who would dare say that Lonely has no chance for a win this time?”

“Similar to Lonely’s circumstance, there’s also Momo.”

“Typical. December is not a place for nobodies.”

“With dragons and tigers fighting for supremacy, it’s going to be exciting!” “Don’t forget about Xian Yu. Don’t his colleagues at Starlight call him ‘Junior Maestro’? I think Xian Yu has the potential to rise to the top. Among the new composers who have sprung up in the music scene in recent years, this guy is the most eccentric.”

“Right, when Xian Yu collaborates with top-level performers, he can knock down Kings. So this time, since he has teamed up with a King, he can only target Maestros, right?”

While the outside world is in heated discussion, official announcement about the Qin-Qi anniversary event was suddenly made by the Spring Festival Gala:

King of Singing Fei Yang and King of Singing Lan Yan, the two of them, will serve as representative singers of Qin Province and perform Qi language songs at the Gala, expressing the Qin-Qi music exchange

The songs they will perform would be those released in December. Meanwhile.

Two Queen of Singing from Qi Province will represent Qi Province and perform Mandarin songs on the Gala stage.

This piece of news had been unknown to the industry beforehand.

Only the parties involved and their relevant companies had received a notification.

With the announcement of this news, the industry’s discussion finally centered on the anniversary event, especially the composers and representative singers of Qin Province.

After all, Qin Province is the recognized Land of Music.

“Qi language songs?”

“No wonder there are two Maestros coming into play this year.”

“As more and more regions merge in, will this become a permanent program at the Gala in the future?”

“Now it seems, it’s expected that Lan Yan and Fei Yang were chosen not only because they arc both the King of Singing, but also because they are among the few singers proficient in Qi language.”

“Wait, on the Starlight side, why didn’t the Maestro compose for Lan Yan, instead choosing Xian Yu?”

“That’s what’s puzzling to me too, why Xian Yu?”

“For such an important song, shouldn’t it be a surefire success if the King of Singing and the Maestro collaborated?”

“Could it be that Xian Yu’s song this time is explosive?”

“There can only be this reason. Otherwise, there’s no reason to choose Xian Yu over the Maestro.”

There weren’t any objections, really.

The exposure of this news, on the contrary, heightened many people’s anticipation for the new song composed by Xian Yu and Lan Yan.

Generally speaking, everyone was more curious about the outcome of the Battle of the Gods in December.

Insiders excitedly discussed it.

The fans of the King and Queen of Singing, the Maestro, and the Golden

Composers were, of course, brimming with anticipation.

Because so many people were paying attention to this Battle of the Gods, someone even opened a gambling market for the end-of-year singing scene. Some websites even secretly opened betting channels.

This type of betting is a grey area in Blue Star, as no one usually cares much about it, nor can anyone control it, after all, gamblers are everywhere.

Where there’s a market, people will take risks.

In the past, this type of betting was mostly seen in sports events.

Like football, basketball, etc.

It’s rare to see betting in the music scene for the end-of-season competition. It shows just how much attention this Battle of the Gods is getting.

Of course, Lin Yuan didn’t know about this.

It was his manager, Jin Mu, who told him.

Although Jin Mu doesn’t handle the financial affairs under Xian Yu’s identity, he still pays attention to the situation regarding the Xian Yu persona.

After all, he is Lin Yuan’s manager, not the manager for Lin Yuan’s aliases.

“So, there’s such a thing.”

Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised when he heard Jin Mu talk about betting, and he also felt somewhat helpless: “Can this sort of thing be predicted?” Not to mention ordinary people.

Even Lin Yuan, the person involved, didn’t dare to say he could definitely secure a certain position.

After all, he can only control the quality of his own songs, he can’t control the quality of others’ songs. While “Red Sun” is definitely very powerful, who can assure that there won’t be more powerful works in December?

“Gamblers don’t argue with reason.”

Compared to gamblers, even sycophants are more adorable.

Jin Mu said: “Your predicted ranking is currently fifth, and the most people bet on you getting the fifth place.”

Lin Yuan asked curiously: “Did you place a bet?”

Jin Mu looked at Lin Yuan and implied heavily: “I don’t have the money.”

After being silent for a few seconds, Lin Yuan said: “I’ll double your salary next month.”

Jin Mu’s been a great manager and has perfectly passed the trial period, so Lin Yuan didn’t feign ignorance and directly agreed to give him a raise.

“Thank you, boss.”

Being successful in his hints, Jin Mu smiled and said: “Now the most people are betting on the combination of Yin Dong and Fei Yang, their odds for the championship are very low. Next is the combination of Ye Zhi Qiu and Haitang, their odds aren’t high cither.”

Lin Yuan asked: “Did nobody bet on me being the champion?”

Jin Mu was taken aback, then he opened his phone, logged onto a website, and took a look: “Actually, there are people who support the combination of Boss and Lan Yan winning the championship. However, the current rate is up to 3.5!”

Lin Yuan:

After all, he was the one predicted to rank fifth.

The amount of people betting him to win must be an extreme minority.

Perhaps those who bet on him winning didn’t have confidence in him but just wanted to try their luck. If they hit the jackpot, it would be a big win.

There will always be people who take extreme risks.

It even made Lin Yuan a little tempted.

But in the end, Lin Yuan managed to resist the impulse.

Gambling is wrong. He couldn’t set a bad example for children..
