Chapter 222: Chapter 207: King of Singing_i
Translator: 549690339
The title of “King of Singing” is not self-proclaimed, nor is it given by fans.
Every King of Singing holds a significant status in the music industry, by constantly proving their talent through one classic hit after another, they can gain official recognition and receive the medal of the King of Singing!
In the old Qin Continent.
The selection of the King of Singing was determined through the annual “Music Festival”, chosen by over a hundred professionals in the industry.
The same was for old Qi Continent.
Now that the Qin and Qi have merged, the “Music Festival” is naturally co-hosted by both.
However, before the merger, those who could win the King of Singing medal in their respective regions were undoubtedly singers who had great appeal in the music industry and were worthy of the title of King of Singing—
If it were to be compared with Earth.
The difficulty for a Blue Star singer to win the King of Singing would be equivalent to the difficulty for an actor to win the Best Actor award at the Earth’s Oscars.
Chen Zhiyu is pretty famous.
After all, he is a top-tier singer, with a humorous tag attached to him, his persona is rather exceptional, and he even gained fame outside the industry.
But in front of the King of Singing, his achievements appeared quite insignificant.
For this reason.
A few seconds after the audience was stunned, they burst into laughter!
Because everyone realized.
There were already formidable competitors in the top-tier, and now with the addition of the King of Singing, Fei Yang, the chance for Chen Zhiyu to win first place next season had dropped to almost zero!
“Chen Zhiyu seems to have made enemies with his old company.”
“How big of a grudge can it be? They even sent the King of Singing to clear their house…”
“Will Chen Zhiyu come second again?”
“How can he tear off the label of the perennial runner-up?”
“Alright, the same old recipe, same old taste.”
“Chen Zhiyu: Am I not worthy of this first place?”
“I genuinely started to feel sorry for Chen Zhiyu.”
Less than half an hour after the official announcement of Splendid, the comments section under Chen Zhiyu’s Tribe updates was filled with consolation messages.
Meanwhile, inside the Starlight artists’ resting room.
After reading the news, Chen Zhiyu’s hand holding the phone couldn’t help but shake: “I didn’t breach the contract, it ended before I left, why is Splendid so against me? We did break up peacefully…”
“They didn’t target you.”

Liu Mou sighed, “I have asked friends from over there, it’s just bad luck, just like when you kept running into Xian Yu before. You happened to encounter Splendid wanting to rally on the New Song Chart. Not just Splendid, I reckon Sand Sea and Starlight are also brewing to take first place, proving who’s the most influential company in the music industry, the background of the big three in the old Qin Continent is quite daunting.”
Chen Zhiyu’s face was sullen.
Liu Mou reassured, “Let’s strive for second place, continue to get second place, at least we can keep the persona intact. Being the perennial runner-up doesn’t sound good indeed, but it’s what the netizens like to see happening.”
Chen Zhiyu was even more distressed.
The label of the perennial runner-up did bring him a lot of attention, but his dream was to become the King of Singing, not a comedian…
Chen Zhiyu’s career was going well originally.
After getting the label of the perennial runner-up, Chen Zhiyu could clearly feel that he was plunging into the path of comedy, with no return.
Zhao Jue was both amused and annoyed.
She initially planned to lure Chen Zhiyu over, relying on Chen Zhiyu’s popular topic of perpetual runner-up, and with the power of Xian Yu’s lyrics and composition, they could directly win the champion song of the new season!
She didn’t expect that Splendid also had ideas for the champion song of next month…
And Splendid sent out the King of Singing!
Given Zhao Jue’s information network, she could naturally learn the reason, and Splendid wasn’t intentionally targeting Chen Zhiyu.
If Chen Zhiyu had violated his contract and forcibly moved to Starlight during the contract period, it wouldn’t be anything if the old boss suppressed him a bit, everyone had to rely on their own abilities.
But the two sides had parted ways peacefully.
The singer switching to another company after the contract expired was normal in the industry.
If Splendid suppressed Chen Zhiyu over this matter, it would sound quite bad on their part, because this behavior would seem very unsporting.
So Splendid also explained to many people after the official announcement of their news that they wanted to come first.
Running into Chen Zhiyu was just a coincidence.
After all-
Helping Chen Zhiyu solidify his perennial runner-up persona might not damage Chen Zhiyu’s popularity, rather it could bring him even more attention.
Splendid would not make such a reckless move.
Zhao Jue was willing to believe this explanation.
Perhaps Chen Zhiyu was the only one who felt aggrieved by this.
After all, Zhao Jue didn’t find anything wrong with being second, especially when Chen Zhiyu was the subject in question.
Chen Zhiyu would probably already have booked his conversation topic for the top three hot searches at the beginning of next month in the Tribe.
“He’s clearly a top-tier singer, yet somehow he’s become a comedian without even realizing it.”
Zhao Jue wondered.
Chen Zhiyu had both fortune and misfortune.
As for the possibility of Chen Zhiyu securing the championship song…
It’s certainly still there.
Many top-tier singers have stumbled when facing novice singers. Chen Zhiyu himself has proven this many times over.
What about the King of Singing?
In the face of top-tier singers, they are also prone to a downfall.
Because top-tier singers are in the reserve team for the King of Singing!
Who dares to say that Chen Zhiyu won’t become the King of Singing in the future?
It’s just that the probability is very low.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so much debate about Chen Zhiyu’s previous slip-up with a novice singer.
Lin Yuan’s newly composed “Change Myself” is an excellent song indeed, and the company’s professionals are also very optimistic about this song.
Some people even predicted before that this song is very likely to win the championship!
Even if the competitors are also top-tier.
However, the problem lies right on Fei Yang, the King of Singing.
The popularity that comes with Fei Yang’s new song is already very exaggerated. If the quality of his song isn’t bad, then the effect is undoubtedly powerful…
Unless Fei Yang’s song is considerably worse than “Change Myself”.
But after all, he is the King of Singing, and the bare minimum for his songs will not be too low.
Nevertheless, what one thinks and what says can be two different things.
As the person who dug up Chen Zhiyu, Zhao Jue still showed up beside him, comforting him, “We definitely still stand a chance.”
“Really?”
Chen Zhiyu stared intently at Zhao Jue.
Despite his superior music knowledge compared to Zhao Jue’s, at this moment, he couldn’t help but want to believe in Zhao Jue’s judgment.
“Really.”
Zhao Jue couldn’t bear to burst Chen Zhiyu’s bubble: “Fei Yang’s current music style greatly differs from his past one, listeners may not necessarily accept his current music style.”
This is, in fact, true.
Some singers aren’t bad, it’s just that occasionally, they like to release some niche music.
The kind that is not appreciated by the general public, but receives high critical acclaim.
Such songs are disadvantaged on the song rankings.
Even if the King of Singing performs it, it doesn’t change the niche nature of the song.
“Right!”
Chen Zhiyu gritted his teeth: “Maybe, his new song is experimental music.”
Experimental music, is mostly non-mainstream.
If so, there’s still hope for Chen Zhiyu.
Zhao Jue remained silent.
Although in her heart, she knew that Fei Yang most likely did not release experimental music this time, as Splendid wanted to win the championship… freēnovelkiss.com
To win the season’s first place, Splendid would definitely let Fei Yang release a mainstream song instead of allowing the King of Singing to be capricious.
But Chen Zhiyu firmly believed this, as if grasping at a life-saving straw.
To be precise, Chen Zhiyu had no choice but to pin his hopes here.
Otherwise, he couldn’t figure out how he would secure next month’s championship song.
What a pity…
Self-hypnotizing is useless.
At the dawn after the end of April and the beginning of May.
When Chen Zhiyu first heard Fei Yang’s new song, his last defense quickly collapsed.
This is a…
A full-fledged, pop music song whose quality is absolutely not inferior to “Change Myself”!
