After binding the entertainment system, she made countless top stars

For me

'You are irreplaceable / You are so important'

'Come back to me'

Until that day

'I'm not done'

The last phrase, a common expression, sounded like a soft murmur.

The music stopped abruptly.

When Chen Yubai bowed deeply to the audience, everyone belatedly realized that the song had already finished.

"Sounds good!"

Dolly was the first to speak up, expressing her support.

Rosalyn followed suit and began to applaud.

With the two of them leading the way, cheers and applause erupted from the audience.

The commotion was several times more intense than when Lin Zhihao finished singing.

Inside the private room, Chang Yun excitedly raised his hand and gave Lu Wantang a high five.

"Another resounding success!"

Lu Wantang hummed in response, her reaction much colder.

"You're so young, yet you never show any emotion. Should I say you're mature beyond your years, or that you're born to be a boss?"

"Maybe it's both?" Lu Wantang tilted her head and joked.

"Honestly, the song choice for tonight is really good. The melody is particularly catchy, and it's the kind of song that's going to be a hit. But the singing difficulty isn't high, which makes it easier for Xiao Chen to gradually increase the difficulty of the song later... and finally surprise everyone!"

Chang Yun asked expectantly, "Did you specifically choose this song for him?"

“He chose it himself,” Lu Wantang said. “I’m only responsible for giving him the lyrics and music for his new song, and recording it for him as well.”

Which song Chen Yubai sings on stage and how he chooses it are all things he should consider himself.

Chang Yun gasped: "So, you prepared more than one song for him in each language?"

Otherwise, they wouldn't have said that Chen Yubai had a choice.

"Hmm." Lu Wantang remained calm. "Just in case."

Chang Yun clicked his tongue twice: "I know you're good, but this...aren't you afraid that Xiao Chen will let you down? If he gets eliminated, it won't be good to give those songs to someone else to sing..."

If Chen Yubai is eliminated early on, it's not worth the company investing a lot of effort in training him.

Chang Yun's words implied that he felt Lu Wantang had offered too many benefits.

Lu Wantang hummed in response:

"Why did the production team not disclose the program's schedule? I didn't think that much about it at the time."

“That’s true,” Chang Yun habitually agreed. “It’s all Richard’s fault!”

"Well, thankfully the result is not bad. Xiao Chen is so composed on stage, he will most likely make it to the end."

As he spoke, he looked at the guest seats and the audience seats.

"That being said, the performance of this song was really good, you can tell from the reactions of the audience and guests... the number of votes couldn't be low."

So this one's in the bag.

Chang Yun's emotions, like those of the audience, remained unsettled for a long time.

Lu Wantang was not surprised at all by this.

After Chen Yubai selected this song, she knew how the audience would react.

This song may not be very difficult to sing, but when a new song is submitted to a competition, it is usually not required to be very difficult or to highlight the singer's high level of skill.

In fact, the differences between singers are more apparent when singing songs that are not particularly difficult.

Chen Yubai sang very steadily and performed the song very well, which is enough.

As for the song itself, that's probably the part you don't need to worry about the most.

It's worth noting that in this parallel world, the song quickly became a hit after its release, going viral and garnering over a billion views at one point. It was also translated into multiple languages and featured covers by famous singers, making it a global phenomenon.

Blue Star is inherently lacking in innovation in the entertainment industry. Even if such a 'divine song' doesn't become a hit across the entire Blue Star, it will definitely be a sensation in the Korean region and the Western Continent!

Subsequent developments unfolded exactly as Lu Wantang had predicted.

The trending topics tonight were already dominated by the two shows, "Voice of Xizhou" and "Xizhou Singer".

So whatever happens on the show will quickly become one or more trending topics.

That's how the topic of Chen Yubai's "Way Back Home" was pushed to the top.

It won't be long before this song becomes headline news.

Meanwhile, on stage, Xiwen had returned to the camera's view.

"Thank you very much to the guest performers for their wonderful performances."

"One great song after another, I'm almost overwhelmed!"

"However, no matter how good the song is, our first part of the competition is over. Next, we will announce the votes and corresponding scores for the eight groups of guests!"

While Xiwen was speaking, Chen Yubai had already returned to the guest seats.

The atmosphere at the scene became tense again.

"The data for the last contestant has been compiled."

Having received the hint, Xiwen stopped uttering any more nonsense.

"So, what is the result of this competition?"

He drew out his words and then turned to look at the large screen behind him.

The screen displays eight rectangular bars of different colors.

"First up is Louis, who will be the first to appear."

"It is necessary to remind the audience that this is our first competition, so the judges' scores and votes may be a bit more cautious. This does not fully represent the singer's strength or popularity."

These kinds of things shouldn't be said during a match.

However, since it was the first competition, in order to avoid too much dissatisfaction from the audience, the production team could only bluntly emphasize the potential problems with the competition's evaluation.

Before Xiwen finished speaking, the first rectangular bar on the screen, like a piece of torn tape, gradually revealed the singer's name and the song he was performing.

And most importantly, votes and ratings.

"The public jury has a total of five hundred members, and Louis received the following number of votes—"

"342!"

[Isn't this number of votes too low?]

[Did Louis suffer because he was the first player to play?]

[Since the judging panel doesn't know how well the later contestants will perform, they will naturally vote carefully.]

[The rating is unlikely to be very high.]

……

"Next comes the scoring."

"The professional judging panel consists of one hundred members, and the scoring is based on a ten-point scale. Louis's final score is—"

"8.7 points!"

The applause from the audience wasn't particularly enthusiastic.
