All-rounder Artist-Chapter 881 - 830: Lotus Lantern Airing

Indeed, the song Lin Yuan planned to release in December was "Nocturne."

This song, along with "Blue and White Porcelain," belonged to the same batch of works.

The lyrics were written by Fang Wenshan.

The composition was still personally done by Director Zhou.

In terms of behind-the-scenes setup, it was the same as "Blue and White Porcelain."

For Lin Yuan,

both songs were eligible to participate in the battle of the chart-ranking gods.

He had two reasons for choosing to release "Blue and White Porcelain" first.

First, his opponent Lu Sheng's work was also in Chinese style, which was Blue Star's new classical;

Second, "Nocturne" being released in December allowed more flexibility in dealing with the opponent—if the opponent proved tougher than expected, Lin Yuan was prepared to add the piano piece as leverage.

Yes.

"Nocturne" could merely be a pop song, but if necessary, it could also transform into a classical piano piece, linking with pop music.

As it seemed now,

this change was indeed necessary.

Lin Yuan thought so, and a strange feeling suddenly surged within him.

The name Ito Makoto seemed familiar—where had he heard it before?

Never mind.

It wasn't important.

Lin Yuan then learned a lot more.

At the Wisdom Clubhouse, Lin Yuan was initially exposed to Maestro's world.

It seemed that after securing the twelve consecutive championships, if he wanted to make money or play around, he could totally accept missions here.

The large screen in the room occasionally refreshed.

Lin Yuan noticed that some of the missions here were actually quite suitable for him.

But now, Lin Yuan wouldn't take on any missions since the twelve consecutive championships weren't officially in his hands yet.

If he had already become a Maestro, then he certainly had to be the more prestigious kind.

Having just promoted one King of Singing and one Queen of Singing wasn't enough.

This level of Maestro couldn't be mentioned in the same breath as one who had managed twelve consecutive championships.

Besides, Lin Yuan had painstakingly secured eleven consecutive championships.

Even if the final step was as long as the Long March, how could he ease up simply because he had become a Maestro?

December was the decisive battle!

For this decisive battle, Lin Yuan even planned to take the stage himself.

There was no choice.

Lin Yuan needed to maximize the download numbers for "Nocturne."

And in the entire Yu Dynasty, the most capable of rallying support was Lin Yuan himself.

Or rather, the identity of Xian Yu.

Furthermore, the Yu Dynasty only had two male singers—Sun Yaohuo and Chen Zhiyu.

Director Zhou's songs, nowadays Sun Yaohuo could sing them, but Senior Yao Huo had already become the King of Singing, and his new identity was enough for him to digest for now.

As for Chen Zhiyu, he had his own vocal style.

Giving Director Zhou's songs to Chen Zhiyu would fit less than the greatly improved Sun Yaohuo.

This was somewhat regrettable.

If Chen Zhiyu's voice matched, Lin Yuan wouldn't mind letting Chen Zhiyu sing "Nocturne."

Perhaps this song could also make Chen Zhiyu a King of Singing.

After all, the gap between Chen Zhiyu and the King of Singing wasn't notably large.

What's different now was:

Previously, each continent in Blue Star could only yield one King and Queen of Singing every year.

If Chen Zhiyu reached the data of the King of Singing, he would have to compete directly with Sun Yaohuo.

After all, there was only one quota for the King of Singing.

But the rules of the game have changed now.

Related to the mergers of continents in recent years, one quota for the King and Queen of Singing definitely wasn't enough.

So the authorities revised the rules in a very flexible manner:

As many continents as are merged, there will be that many quotas for the King and Queen of Singing.

For instance, now, the Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Han continents have merged.

By the time the awards are settled next year, there will be five male Kings of Singing and five female Queens of Singing born.

The downside is:

It's possible for one continent's quota for Kings and Queens of Singing to be overtaken by singers from other continents, resulting in a total loss for their own continent.

The continents speak through strength!

If capable, it's even permissible for one continent to snatch all ten spots!

Many people suspect that this system was intentionally designed like this, to ensure that continents always maintain a competitive mindset, which is essential for progress.

Of course.

Lin Yuan didn't feel too sorry for Chen Zhiyu for long.

In his conception, it was only a matter of time before the singers from the Yu Dynasty became Kings or Queens of Singing.

He just needed to free up his hands.

Jiang Kui and Sun Yaohuo were just the beginning.

Just like becoming Maestro was only a beginning for him as well.

…

After leaving the Wisdom Club.

Lin Yuan was marveling at the convenience of being a Maestro, being able to eat and drink for free at the club, when he suddenly received a message from Zhao Jue saying that the TV series "Precious Lotus Lantern" was set to premiere on a streaming website tonight.

"So soon?"

Lin Yuan was quite surprised.

Even for Blue Star's technology, this speed was indeed fast.

Zhao Jue replied, "One month was just enough to finish shooting, and we are currently doing post-production. The post-production for the first ten episodes has already been completed. The rest will definitely be done by the time they are streamed. Our film and television industry values efficiency the most; time is money, and every day delayed means hundreds of people's living expenses. If it can be premiered earlier, then there's no delay. Especially with web dramas, they start promoting from the moment shooting begins, and now we've reached the base where it can be screened, with the star-studded cast ready..."

"Hmm."

Lin Yuan understood.

It really was that way.

Lin Yuan had spent quite some time on set, after all, he had also served as the core screenwriter for many movies. He noticed that any of Blue Star's production teams placed a high premium on efficiency. The shooting pace was never too slow, and if any actors performed poorly, they would be mercilessly replaced by the director. This was different from Celestial Dynasty and even more ruthless than the Hollywood norms. Moreover, these production crews pursued not just speed but also quality, which always amazed Lin Yuan. Being an actor was clearly more tiring than being a singer under the same star status.

The conversation didn't last long.

Lin Yuan returned home.

His mom was sitting in front of the projector with Lin Yuan's sister.

Lin Yuan asked, "What's going on here?"

His sister said, "The 'Precious Lotus Lantern' is about to start!"

Lin Yuan: "..."

It seemed that everyone was quite interested in "Precious Lotus Lantern."

He hadn't noticed any intense online promotion.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

After all, the drama was a derivative work from "Journey to the West," and many of the actors were from that series.

Without knowing the storyline, just seeing familiar faces from "Journey to the West" in "Precious Lotus Lantern" must have made the audience quite happy.

At that moment,

Mom suddenly said, "It's eight o'clock!"

His sister urged Lin Xuan, "Quick, play it!"

Lin Xuan turned on the computer connected to the projector and played "Precious Lotus Lantern."

Lin Yuan thought about it, and decided to just sit down and watch together.

As a result,

the TV show hadn't even started, and the theme song of "Precious Lotus Lantern" had already caught Lin Yuan's attention:

"This song is really good."

His mom said, "Seems the song is called 'Splitting the Mountain'?"

His sister checked the TV subtitles, "Wow, no wonder, the theme song was written by Zheng Jing!"

His sister nodded, "That explains it."

Lin Yuan also had some songs related to "Precious Lotus Lantern," but he felt their quality was average, so he simply handed them over to other composers in the company. He didn't expect the TV department to directly ask Zheng Jing to take charge, which showed that they highly valued this drama. The fact also proved that even without Lin Yuan's involvement, the other composers in his company could still perform their tasks excellently.

Two minutes.

The song ended.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

Whether a theme song is worth listening to can be judged by whether viewers set their player to skip the intro. Zheng Jing's song passed the test — the sister did not choose to skip the intro—

The actual episode finally began.
