The atmosphere was somewhat strange, the audience's expressions complex, a mix of disbelief and anticipation.
For this Era Music Gala, everyone knew the protagonist was definitely Ting Yu.
But no one expected Ting Yu to be this formidable.
He had swept all the awards for Male Singer!
And had also taken home the Best Song award in every Producer category!
There were ten songs in total for the Annual Golden Melody Award, and he had already won seven. The remaining three held no suspense; in everyone's eyes, besides Ting Yu, no one in the domestic entertainment industry was qualified to take the top three Golden Melody Awards!
Not even musical gods like Jiang Qian or Fang Lingyu could compare!
Because, in the past two years, Ting Yu's contribution to the domestic entertainment industry was too immense, so great that he had transcended the role of a producer and become a legendary figure in the Chinese music scene!
"Looking forward to the last three songs!"
"I'm already getting excited!"
"Everyone, type 'Ting Yu is awesome' in the public chat!"
"He's going for a Grand Slam, this is what we call dominance!!"
"Take off!!"
The bullet comments flooded the screen crazily!
While the live audience analyzed Ting Yu's achievements and his influence on the industry, the viewers at home wanted pure exhilaration!
And Ting Yu sweeping the Golden Melody charts and achieving a Grand Slam was undoubtedly something that made their scalps tingle with excitement. Seeing that seven Golden Melody Awards had already passed, all of them belonging to Ting Yu's songs, countless viewers felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.
A Grand Slam was the ultimate pursuit for Ting Yu's fans!
"The song nominated for third place in the Era Music Chart Golden Melody Award is... Ting Yu, 'Glorious Years'!"
"Today, only a residual shell remains,
To welcome glorious years,
Holding onto freedom in the wind and rain..."
Wow!!
The live audience's hands were already getting numb from clapping!
But when this song was announced, the applause became explosive!
This was a song with infinite scope!
If "The Sorrow of Stopping War" was the pinnacle of anti-war themes in Chinese music, then "Glorious Years" was the pinnacle of opposition to racial discrimination in the Chinese music scene!
This song's international influence far surpassed its domestic influence.
Especially in the Western world, this song had been hailed as a divine song, akin to a bible, by many Black people!
"May this land have no high or low, between you and me!"
This lyric had been translated into various languages!
Singing for human equality!
...
"The song nominated for second place in the Era Music Chart Golden Melody Award is... Ting Yu, 'Chapter Seven of the Night'!!"
"If evil is a magnificent and cruel symphony, its finale, I will personally write..."
Mo Yan's voice was already hoarse, his tone filled with an excitement that made everyone's blood boil!
The applause and cheers from the audience were like rolling thunder!
It stunned many into a daze, yet their enthusiasm did not wane; instead, they amplified their cheers along with Mo Yan to an even higher level!
The subsequent three songs had an influence that extended far beyond the domestic entertainment industry.
"Chapter Seven of the Night" was considered a pinnacle in the entire Blue Star's arrangement circles!
Coupled with the song's style, it truly achieved a global aesthetic unification, becoming one of Ting Yu's strongest representative works for arrangement!
"Praise 'Chapter Seven of the Night' to the skies!"
"This song is absolutely a masterpiece, the ceiling of arrangement in the entire Chinese music scene!"
"When people in the domestic entertainment industry questioned Ting Yu's fast songs and unintelligible lyrics, 'Chapter Seven of the Night' gained legendary status overseas purely through its arrangement!"
"This song is not only the ceiling of arrangement in the Chinese music scene, but also a ceiling within all of Ting Yu's works!"
"The Dark Trilogy is awesome, two of them are out, so what about the last one..."
The camera cut!
Ting Yu continued to watch the big screen quietly.
Mo Yan's face, trembling with excessive excitement, showed his wrinkles shaking wildly!
The audience below.
Lin Yanyu covered her rosy lips, her beautiful eyes wide open, staring intently at the big screen, her brow etched with pride, shock, and glory!
Gong Ju Ren's palms were already red from clapping, he spun, jumped, cheered, shouting until his voice was hoarse and sweat poured down his face!
Zhang Wei, however, was exceptionally calm. He clasped his hands together at his chin, closed his eyes, and wore a pious, praying expression!
Jiang Xiao E was already in tears, cheering wildly alongside Gong Ju Ren!
Jiang Qian, Fang Ling Yu, and Chen Shu Hao, the three musical gods, all stood up, held their breath, and fixed their gaze on the big screen on the stage.
At this moment.
The venue was incredibly noisy.
Yet, it also felt remarkably quiet.
As if time itself had slowed down.
All the audience members, all the staff members of the production team, their peripheral vision blurred, their focus fixed solely on that big screen.
As the cheers approached a crescendo.
Mo Yan took a deep breath.
His palms, gripping the microphone, were sweating. He lowered his gaze slightly to the script in his hand and read with a hoarse yet passionate voice.

Under such terrifying achievements, an ordinary person would have long been moved to tears, but Ting Yu remained composed, a smile he was known for gracing his face!
First place announced!
"In the Name of the Father"!!
