Chapter 1512: Chapter 1233: The Self-Cultivation of Temporary Workers

The Galaxy Empire has three major series.

The first is the Robot series.

The second is the Foundation series.

The former is already completed, so Lin Yuan’s next job is obviously to write the Foundation series. Once this is done, the Galaxy Empire will be mostly finished.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

In the days that followed, Lin Yuan was writing every day, and with his terrifying typing speed, the manuscript files in the computer became more and more numerous.

Meanwhile.

Amid the anticipation of global audiences, Tong Shuwen also began officially recording the second season of “Our Song.”

Episode one.

Episode two.

Tong Shuwen had just finished recording the second episode but couldn’t wait to schedule the broadcast, although the audience was even more eager than him—

With some time left until the official broadcast of the first episode, everyone was eagerly waiting in front of the TV or computer.

Lin Yuan’s family was no different.

Mom looked at the screen, her expression a mix of anticipation and dilemma:

“Do you guys think Jiang Kui will take first place or Sun Yaohuo? And Zhao Ying Ge is good too. That Chen Zhiyu or Wei Haoyun would also be fine, it’s really a tough choice.”

Antarctica: “Woof woof woof!”

Big Yaoyao: “I support Jiang Kui!”

Sister: “I have more hope for Sun Yaohuo.”

Is the champion already decided by you guys?

Lin Yuan sat on the sofa next to them, laughing helplessly as he waited for the program with his family.

…

Discussion.

The program starts.

Similar to the format of the first season, the program begins with introductions about the Maestros, and the host remains An Hong!

Tong Shuwen selected four Maestros from each continent as regular guests.

In total, there are thirty-two Maestros from eight continents.

The bullet comments were overwhelming!

“The program’s arrangement is quite interesting, selecting four Maestros from each continent and all of them are top-ranked, so this way, the music quality is guaranteed.”

“Gai is the strongest among them!”

“Ranked sixth on the Zhong Continent Abigail music chart, he is the highest ranked among all the Maestros. It’s a pity that Yang Zhongming didn’t participate, otherwise the Maestro ranked highest on the program would have been Father Yang.”

“Xian Yu didn’t come either.”

“Lu Sheng leads Qin Continent.”

“Lu Sheng happens to rank tenth.”

“Chu Continent’s leading Maestro, Lian Bicheng, is also quite strong, ranked seventh higher than Fish Papa.”

“The leaders of other continents seem slightly weaker.”

“But overall, everyone is a big name.”

“The overall lineup is stronger than the first season!”

Excited discussion among the audience.

For most music shows, the highlights are the singers, but the appeal of this show is not just the singers; the performance of the Maestros is something the audience eagerly anticipates.

And in this program.

Three of the top ten global ranking Maestros have appeared!

…

After the Maestro introduction.

The singers take the stage.

There are more singers compared to Maestros.

Tong Shuwen selected ten singers from each continent; in total, eighty singers.

Mostly Kings and Queens of Singing from their continents.

The stars gathered on the program stage!

It is worth mentioning:

The former Kings and Queens of Singing from each continent were crowned by the Literature and Art Association’s music ceremonies.

Now that the singer charts are out.

The Blue Star singing landscape has been completely reshaped.

The Literature and Art Association has released a new standard for Kings and Queens of Singing:

Only singers who have entered the top hundred of the global singer charts can be called Kings and Queens of Singing.

“The singer lineup is incredible!”

“They’re almost all Kings and Queens of Singing!”

“I’m a little confused, with so many Kings and Queens of Singing gathered together, and the Maestros also present, many singers probably can’t even guarantee any significant screen time, why still come to this show?”

“It’s very simple.”

“Because this program is a sure hit, the Kings and Queens from each continent want to use this opportunity to be recognized by a global audience, and the most interesting part of this program is the resource of dozens of Maestros, getting one good song is worth it!”

“I see.”

“I’m dying of laughter over Qin Continent’s side, with ten singers from one continent, and Yu Dynasty alone taking up five slots, along with Fei Yang, Shu Yu, and several other top Kings and Queens of Singing from Qin Continent.”

“That’s normal.”

“Yu Dynasty occupies five slots because everyone in Yu Dynasty is an average world champion, any one member is now a King or Queen of Singing, even Xia Fan, who didn’t compete, is one of the strongest Kings and Queens of Singing in Qin Continent.”

Netizens were frantically discussing.

Both the Maestro and singer lineups satisfied the netizens extremely, raising their anticipation for the program even further!

…

The program continues similarly to the first season’s format.

However, there’s a very important modification to the rules.

That’s the Maestros from each continent; in the first episode, they can only collaborate with singers from their own continent.

The audience burst out laughing, the program’s intention is as clear as day!

“Jeez.”

“The program makers really know what they’re doing, having all the continents compare with each other first.”

“Makes sense; the singers and Maestros from the same continent will be more familiar with each other.”

“It really is like the Blue Songlympics?”

“An extra showdown in the music circles across continents through a variety show?”

“Then won’t Zhong Continent win easily?”

“Not necessarily, for instance, Fei Yang is quite strong, yet he failed last season, didn’t even make it to the finals, this program has a lot of unpredictability, paper strength doesn’t guarantee the final outcome.”

“Because the voting is from the public.”

“The voting standards of the public differ from professional judges, so last year Xian Yu wrote ‘Most Dazzling Ethnic Style’ for Madam Haoyun which sparked a crazy kill mode, the affinity with the audience is really important!”

…

The program continues.

Soon, two people from the Yu Dynasty here selected their collaborating Maestro.

Among them.

Jiang Kui collaborated with Lu Sheng.

Sun Yaohuo collaborated with Yin Dong.

Wei Haoyun, Zhao Ying Ge, and Chen Zhiyu drew a bye in the first round.

This is quite normal, as the thirty-two Maestros choose from eighty singers, with most singers being eliminated in the first round.

A classic case of too many monks and too little porridge.

After these mutual selections, the show chose eight teams to face off two by two.

Each continent sends out one group.

The team from Qin Continent in the first round consisted of Sun Yaohuo and Yin Dong, facing a team from Chu Continent.

Host An Hong said:

“The following rule is that singers can freely choose a theme, and each matched Maestro needs to compose around the theme set by the singer!”

Next comes a lengthy process of collaboration and creation between singers and composers.

Recording indeed takes many days, but the final footage presented by each group is not lengthy; only the highlights are edited.

…

Lin Yuan watched with great interest.

The new rules are quite intriguing.

Although the first season also involved Maestros composing around the singer’s style, in the end, the Maestro’s opinion prevailed.

Whatever song the Maestro brought forth, the singer had to sing it.

The difference in the second season is that singers have gained more autonomy.

They can make requests and have composers write songs based on those requests.

This way, the difficulty of composition becomes higher.

For example, Sun Yaohuo and Yin Dong collaborated and chose “Friendship” as their theme.

“I have many friends, and I love them, and I really hope to have a song that can express my feelings.”

“Sure.”

Yin Dong expressed no problem.

Singers also want to win the competition, so their requests aren’t bizarre.

Composers, being talented and brave, cooperated well with the show and singers, eager to showcase their ability to write on prescribed topics.

…

Finally.

The first episode ended.

Each continent experienced both wins and losses.

Qin Continent was among the four victorious groups.

Sun Yaohuo and Yin Dong collaborated to secure a win for Qin Continent.

What was surprising was that Zhong Continent’s team lost to Wei Continent!

Actually, both sides sang similarly.

Zhong Continent even seemed somewhat superior.

However, Wei Continent’s stage design was excellent, with stage aesthetics handled by external specialists, dazzlingly splendid!

Not only that.

Wei Continent’s singer, to achieve the ultimate stage effect, specially invited a top dancer to provide a dance accompaniment!

The entire performance was a visual and auditory enjoyment!

…

After watching this episode, the family discussed excitedly.

“Sun Yaohuo is reliable!”

“The first round was won quite easily!”

“After all, Sun Yaohuo’s singer ranking is evident, and Yin Dong is among our Qin Continent’s top Maestros.”

“But it was surprising that Zhong Continent lost.”

“Zhong Continent’s opponent was Wei Continent.”

“That Wei Continent singer’s stage effect was excellent, and the accompaniment dancer performed very well!”

“This is the difference between a variety show and Blue Songlympics; stage design is part of the performance, and its importance is almost equal to the song itself.”

Lin Yuan nodded.

Wei Continent’s singer won on the stage!

When the song’s quality couldn’t crush the opponent, the side with higher stage completion level is more likely to achieve final victory!

This is Wei Continent’s specialty.

After all, Wei Continent’s music scene has always had a tradition of showcase battles.

Making the showcase present better requires hard work.

The most successful part was finding a top-notch dancer, who performed a dance that incredibly matched the song’s style!

The entire process was a joy to behold.

It’s no wonder Zhong Continent lost the first episode to such an opponent.

…

After the competition.

The show indeed evoked a massive response!

Ratings and online discussions both exploded!

The performances of Maestros and singers were constantly discussed!

However.

The most discussed topic turned out to be Wei Continent’s stage performance that won against Zhong Continent!

“The King of Singing from Wei Continent did a fantastic job on stage!”

“The last somersault was incredibly impressive!”

“Singers with a dance background can easily have impactful performances.”

“The dance accompaniment was even better!”

“The dance accompaniment was indeed amazing!”

“Feels like part of Wei Continent’s success should be credited to the dance teacher!”

“Indeed.”

“The dance teacher is not an ordinary person but a major player ranked twenty-third on the dance list!”

“This show is truly impressive!”

Online reviews for the second season of “Our Song” were almost unanimously positive!

Looking at the online comments.

Lin Yuan also felt good.

As for his interest in the show, it’s not just because of Yu Dynasty but also because he would later serve as a guest performer on the show.

If he doesn’t watch the show.

It would be unprofessional to appear lost on the program later.

Even as a guest performer, Lin Yuan hopes to complete his task well.

This is the self-discipline of a temporary worker.
