Chapter 464

It was about to reach the chorus.

On stage, Lin Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the media judging panel and hater representatives with a playful look.

Brother is going to go all out now!

"Woo-woo."

"Ah~ ah."

When Lin Yu’s dolphin voice soared,

The entire audience was stunned, as if struck by lightning, frozen in place.

It was like seeing a ghost; their hair stood on end.

Is this a sound coming from a human mouth? This is clearly a siren!

The vocal range was so high it exceeded everyone’s cognition.

It was like entering a paradise on earth.

It was so good it made the whole body tremble.

"Holy crap."

"Damn."

"My ears."

And the media judging panel and hater representatives wearing headphones had no time to appreciate the music.

Lin Yu’s note directly stunned most of them, leaving their brains blank.

Subconsciously, they threw the headphones away in a jolt.

Some haters were even vomited from the sound, dizzy and fainted on their chairs with their eyes rolled back.

This was still Lin Yu pulling back from the mic; otherwise, he might have really sung a few haters to death on the spot.

"Everyone, start voting."

Li Hao pushed up his glasses and looked at Lin Yu beside him with lingering fear.

My god! Is this even human?

No surprise, Lin Yu’s vote count ranked first by a landslide, advancing to the second half of the finals.

The contestants backstage also heard Lin Yu’s show of skill on stage.

Originally, everyone was holding a playful attitude, but they didn't expect such a master to exist. Now, everyone planned to get serious and bring out their hidden skills to compete.

"Thank you to the audience at the venue and in front of the TV for watching the first half of the 'Masked Singer' finals."

"Also, thank you to the guests of the guessing panel and the media judging panel for visiting."

"Tomorrow night at 8 PM, the second half of the finals will determine the Masked Singer King."

"Who will take the crown? Please join us on time and stay tuned!"

On stage.

Host Li Hao nodded and smiled.

Before the show even ended.

Lin Yu’s song "Luoyang Garan Record" and his stunning "Opera 2" had already gone viral across the internet in the form of short videos.

Especially the segment where he proved his innocence to the haters and the media judging panel.

It directly triggered nationwide attention.

The click rate quickly exceeded ten million.

The tens of thousands of comments underneath were endless and very exciting.

"Holy crap! Is this Tropical Rainforest human? After 'Lanting Preface,' he came up with 'Fireworks Cool Easily.' This creative ability is too monstrous!"

"According to the production staff, these lyrics and music were created just two days ago. You have to know that lyrics and music that can make it to the stage are usually polished countless times, but it’s rare for someone like Tropical Rainforest to debut them right after creation."

"Pfft! I just watched the video taken by the audience at the scene. It’s hilarious. That note in 'Opera 2' scared the haters and unscrupulous media so much, it felt like their souls were almost sung away."

"Hahaha, these haters should be sent away. It was supposed to be a relaxing music variety show meant to please the audience, yet they questioned him for lip-syncing. They must be living miserable lives and came here to find a sense of existence."

"....."

Backstage at "Masked Singer."

To keep their identities secret, every contestant has an independent lounge.

After the performance, they have exclusive staff to escort them back to their respective hotel rooms.

At this moment, general director Che Ze looked conflicted.

He gritted his teeth.

He still walked quickly to Lin Yu’s room.

"Hmm?"

"Director Che, why are you here?"

"Is there something wrong?"

"Are you asking me to intentionally throw the finals?"

After returning to his room, Lin Yu had taken a shower and was lying on the sofa eating snacks and watching anime.

Seeing the hesitant Che Ze, he asked curiously.

He thought the "Masked Singer" show was going to engage in backroom deals, pre-determine the champion, and ask him to throw the game.

"No, that’s impossible."

"We agreed in the contract beforehand that contestants who advance to the finals rely on their own skills. Whatever ranking they deserve, they get. Our production team will never interfere."

Che Ze hurriedly waved his hands with a bitter smile.

"Then what is it?"

Seeing this, Lin Yu threw a cigarette to Che Ze.

"Sigh."

Che Ze lit the cigarette.

He explained the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that the leaders of Jinling TV saw that the two songs "Lanting Preface" and "Fireworks Cool Easily" were viral on the internet, so they wanted to seize the copyright to these two songs by Lin Yu.

After hearing the whole story,

Lin Yu’s brows furrowed.

"Director Che, since we are acting according to the contract, we should be reasonable, right?"

"I remember it was said before that the station has no right to interfere with song copyrights."

Although Lin Yu is not a professional singer at the moment.

He is very knowledgeable about the importance of song copyrights.

If Jinling TV really seized the copyright to these two songs.

Then he wouldn't be able to sing these two songs on any occasion in the future.

Not to look too far ahead, just take the Flower Band formed by Da Da Zhangwei.

Their copyright was sold to the company team before.

Now they can't sing a single song.

Half a lifetime after debut, returning as a newcomer.

Lin Yu wants to hold a concert tour in the future, and he would have to pay copyright fees to Jinling TV for every show.

Isn't this bullshit?

"Lin Yu, don't get excited."

"Let me say something behind closed doors: the current leaders all have this shitty attitude. Once they see profit, they get blinded by greed and don't care about anything else."

"But don't worry, I am definitely on your side."

"Let me give you a heads-up: if you don't give the copyright of these two songs to Jinling TV for free, I'm afraid the upper management will put pressure on you during the finals."

Che Ze had made this very clear.

This is equivalent to blowing a biased whistle. Never mind winning the championship; at this pace, he probably wouldn't even get a good ranking.

"Hmm, I know."

Lin Yu exhaled smoke rings calmly.

Suppressing the anger and resentment in his heart as much as possible.
