Xiangnan TV was filled with joy, but the other major TV stations felt a bit sour.
This was especially true for the three TV stations that hadn't managed to invite any singers from Su Yu's group to their New Year's Eve gala.
From 8 PM when the New Year's Eve gala began until nearly 11 PM now, Jinling TV, Xiangnan TV, and Yanjing TV all achieved their peak viewership ratings thanks to Su Yu's singers and new songs.
Currently, the highest peak viewership rating was 6.37, held by Su Yu's performance on Jinling TV. The second highest was 6.11, from Han Jiangxue's performance on Xiangnan TV.
The third highest was 6.02, from the Cool Fire Combination on Jinling TV, and the fourth was 6.05, from Xie Jie's recent performance on Xiangnan TV!
All four performances that broke 6 had one thing in common: they featured Su Yu's new songs! And all the singers were from Tianxing Entertainment!
This made all the major TV stations realize the terrifying dominance Tianxing Entertainment and Su Yu now held in Blue Star China's music scene.
Indeed, with things as they were, could it be described as anything but dominance?
Collaborating with Su Yu also became the top priority for these major TV stations.
Unfortunately, they had already lost the first-mover advantage to Jinling TV and could only think of other solutions.
After 11 PM, the New Year's Eve gala stages of the major TV stations entered a chaotic free-for-all.
Jinling TV, Xiangnan TV, Blue TV, and Magic City TV all featured a continuous stream of big-name artists, and the competition saw wins and losses on all sides.
Without Su Yu's songs, many felt that the stage had officially returned to the normal state of past New Year's Eve galas.
However, around 11:40 PM, the true ace cards of the major TV stations finally began to appear on stage one after another.
Ye Mei took the stage for Xiangnan TV, while the long-unseen aurora Na La appeared for Blue TV.
Magic City TV sent out the biggest name, Jacky Cheung, and Yanjing TV had the newly crowned King Chen Yixun holding down the fort!
Conversely, on Jinling TV, the unexpected finale was Little Whale Zhang Xiaohan.
In the eyes of the major TV stations and the audience, while Xiao Jingyu had enough popularity, she clearly couldn't compare to their own ace performers in terms of star power!
But as these big names took the stage to vie for the final victory, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
In the real-time viewership rankings of the major TV stations at that moment, Jinling TV was surprisingly in first place!
Second place went to the dark horse Yanjing TV! Third place was Xiangnan TV.
Magic City, with Jacky Cheung, was in fourth, and Blue TV was at the bottom...
This development truly stunned countless musicians and entertainment companies.
What the heck? Could Little Whale Zhang Xiaohan's popularity now really crush all the Kings and Queens?
The answer was, of course, no!
Jinling TV had pulled a clever trick. Qian Jin had Zhang Xiaohan go on stage and directly sing the new song Su Yu had written for her.
This way, while other big-name artists were using old songs to warm up, Jinling TV could catch them off guard!
Directly competing in the final segment? Qian Jin wasn't that irrational!
Because Zhang Xiaohan's star power was inherently not as strong as the other TV stations' closing acts.
So, as countless people looked on in surprise and confusion, Little Whale Zhang Xiaohan, with her new song "aurora," took the lead on stage!
And as soon as the song's intro began, many lyricists and composers' eyes lit up.
Because the song's arrangement actually contained elements of an exotic style!
For the audience and netizens, the melody felt somewhat stunning.
As the exotic intro ended, Zhang Xiaohan's highly recognizable singing voice also rang out.
"【Mysterious Arctic Circle, the peaks of Alaska,
Whose face appears at the horizon of the cape.
Suddenly, in that distant place,
I see the happy glow of lovers.】"
For many, this song wasn't just about the captivating intro; even the verse parts gave a very stunning feeling.
Moreover, Zhang Xiaohan's singing voice truly seemed to have a magical quality, making people not want to leave once they heard it.
"【The soul is calling,
Singing ancient, unfamiliar, yet familiar melodies.
The sky is smiling,
My world is colorful and dazzling.】"
And the song entered the chorus remarkably fast.
It gave the impression that the entire song felt like a chorus!
Accompanied by the highly rhythmic melody, Zhang Xiaohan sang the chorus.
"【Love is a light, so beautiful,
Guiding us to the future we desire.
Magical aurora, a fantastical prophecy,
Hurry and find the incredible love.
Love is a light, so beautiful,
Illuminating our courage-filled future.
Magical aurora, a legendary prophecy,
It turns out to be the gaze of lovers.】"
Blue Star China didn't have the internet meme "Love is a light, green enough to make you panic."
So when the audience and netizens heard the chorus, they didn't instantly zone out and start making unnecessary mental associations...
"It's so good! This song is so special!"
"Xiao Jingyu is truly Xiao Jingyu, always bringing me surprises!"
"Xiao Jingyu's voice is so unique, you almost know it's her the moment she opens her mouth!"
"The melody of this song is a bit addictive, my mind is filled with 'Love is a light...'"
The live audience enthusiastically waved their hands in cooperation, while the bullet comments surged like waves, one higher than the last!
This showed just how powerful this new song's impact was.
And after a short interlude, Zhang Xiaohan's voice in segment B returned.
As if not wanting to give the audience and netizens time to breathe.
"【Silence in a blink, light-years from ten thousand years away.
I believe, the future is actually not far.
Tears of crying are also praises of joy.
Because, with you, I can spread my wings and soar...】"
And this tightly designed song kept the atmosphere on site continuously rising.
Until the chorus of segment B struck again, and the scene was directly ignited by Zhang Xiaohan's incredibly penetrating voice!
"【Love is a light, so beautiful,
Guiding us to the future we desire.
...
Magical aurora, a legendary prophecy,
It turns out to be the gaze of lovers.】"
However, perhaps feeling that the atmosphere wasn't exciting enough, or the audience's enthusiasm wasn't high enough, Little Whale Zhang Xiaohan's voice rose again after the chorus.
The elevated part of the song once again reappeared!
"【Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, the colorful aurora~
Love is in the heart, believe and it will exist.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, the beautiful aurora~
Love is in the heart, believe and it is forever.】"
All the lyricists and composers who heard this were silent.
It wasn't that the song suddenly became bad; it was that they had been so shocked by Su Yu's lyrics, composition, and arrangement that they didn't want to say anything more.
They had already lost count of how many times they had been amazed by Su Yu's works.
But with such amazement came a frequent sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
With an enemy so formidable, how were they supposed to respond?
"【Love is a light, so beautiful.
Guiding us, to the future we desire.
...
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, the beautiful aurora~
Love is in the heart, believe and it is forever.】"
In Zhang Xiaohan's even more penetrating and ethereal voice, this song, "aurora," which made them feel powerless, came to an end.
At the same time, perhaps the confidence of many lyricists and composers also ended...
