Chapter 75: A Shock Through the Music Industry

Yu Su’s job was that simple. After that, he would file and upload all the songs that were at least listenable into the scoring system.

They would then be reviewed by higher-level music critics, composers, and singers.

Each song would be judged and scored by at least eight secondary judges.

Finally, the top ten songs by score would be sent to the three ultimate judges, who would select the one and only winner.

Although the entire judging process was kept completely opaque, the three ultimate judges were all giants in the domestic music industry, each with an illustrious reputation.

The names of those three people were the greatest guarantee of credibility for the entire solicitation!

Yet at this moment, Yu Su only felt that he had something wrong with him.

And not just a little wrong!

Why on earth had he chosen to torture his own ears for no reason?

At this rate, he was going to forget how to write songs himself!

Those people in charge were always coming up with all sorts of fancy ideas. With so many big names in the music industry, was it really that difficult to simply invite one of them to write a song?

Why did they have to organize some kind of public solicitation?!

Yu Su complained as he opened the next email.

No matter how unwilling he was, he still had to do his job.

Whoa!

The lyrics, composition, vocals, backing arrangement, recording, and mixing were all done by the same person?

Pretty impressive.

It was just that the stage name was rather strange.

Dumb Big Orange?

What kind of name was that?

The Investiture of the Gods?

The song title was pretty lazy too.

Well, let’s hear it.

Hopefully this one would be a little kinder to his ears.

“From now on, immortals, gods, and humans shall be determined, never again shall they fall into the wilderness…”

Hmm?

Interesting. It even had spoken-word sections?

……

The spoken-word section ended quickly, and the main verse began.

“Tyrant, leading the demons to harm the people…”

Just the very first line made Yu Su’s entire body tremble.

As the song gradually progressed, Yu Su’s eyes grew brighter and brighter!

After listening to it once, he immediately played it again.

Then a third time!

By the third listen, he was even singing along!

Once the third playback ended, Yu Su could no longer sit still.

Without saying another word, he immediately created a file for The Investiture of the Gods, uploaded the song, and submitted it to the scoring and judging system.

“At this level, if it doesn’t win first place, there’s definitely something shady going on!”

Yu Su glanced at the stage name again, seriously suspecting that this was some big-name musician’s new pseudonym.

However, after listening to it three times, he still couldn’t feel any resemblance to the musical style of any of the current big names.

“I can’t figure it out. Maybe one of the other big names can recognize it!”

After uploading the song, he couldn’t resist opening the demo and listening to it again.

………

Because the secondary judges all had their own work, they didn’t conduct the judging together.

Whoever had time would simply log into the judging system and listen.

A score and the number of judges who had reviewed each song would be displayed after every submission. Songs that had received fewer than eight reviews would be placed toward the front of the queue as a priority.

Ding Ning happened to have some free time at the moment, so she logged into the system.

There was no denying that this solicitation campaign had created quite a stir.

There were a great many participants, and quite a few good songs had come out of it.

It was just that she still hadn’t found one that completely matched the feeling she had in mind for The Investiture of the Gods.

After listening to one song and giving it a middling score, a newly uploaded song suddenly caught Ding Ning’s attention.

“The Investiture of the Gods?”

A moment later, in the Secondary Judging Group for The Investiture of the Gods Theme Song:

—Ding Ning: Everyone, go listen to the newly uploaded The Investiture of the Gods! It’s truly a masterpiece!!!

—Li Feng: Huh? It’s rare to see Little Ding Ning this excited. I’ll go listen right away.

—Master Huang: I’m going too!

Not long after that, the entire judging group exploded!

It even alarmed the three ultimate judges!

Although there were only about twenty people in the judging group, those twenty-some people had enough influence to affect more than half of the music industry.

And if the three ultimate judges were included, then they covered virtually the entire industry.

Before the final results were announced, the song would definitely not be leaked.

But news spread from one person to ten, then from ten to a hundred.

Countless musicians never even got to hear the song, yet they learned ahead of time that there was a song called The Investiture of the Gods.

Of course, this news only circulated within the music industry.

There wasn’t the slightest hint of it on Weibo or any other social media platform.
