Actually, the feelings of the composers on the scene also mirror those of the viewers.

After the program ended.

There are many discussions online about the final scene of the live broadcast such as:

"Father Yang is awesome, he really didn't have any stock-piled songs!"

"The older the ginger, the spicier. Father Yang actually drew with Fish Papa without any stock-piled songs!"

"It's not that mysterious, Father Yang himself said that he was just lucky to get inspired. Sometimes, inspiration comes inexplicably."

Not all classic songs are painstakingly written over countless years.

"But Fish Papa is totally fine too, he directly admitted that he used his stock-piled songs."

"He could have boasted saying that he wrote the song on the spot. We wouldn't have known."

"Unlike 'The Masked Singer' before, the competitive nature of this show is actually quite low, it feels more like a bunch of composers and singers playing music together, it's quite a soothing experience, not resentful at all."

"Judging by the rule of the show, I don't think the final duel will be very aggressive."

"..."

The outside world generally sees "Our Song" as a show about playing music.

There are no messy hype.

No strong competitive vibes.

The main drawing points for the audience are the song performances and various challenges the show presents to the composers.

Like the random piano pairing.

Or the time-limited, topic-limited composition challenges and so on.

Although all composers are competitive, losing is just met with a smile.

Because everyone understands, the wins and losses in this show do not represent the wins and losses among the composers.

Compared to the wins and losses in the show, the competition on the seasonal chart is more convincing.

This brings us to the battle for the end-of-year chart.

The Battle of the Gods is still the most exciting battle in the music industry at the end of each year.

This time, top composers and maestros are not trying to hit the charts with some entertaining stock songs.

Especially...

The Battle of the Gods this year has Yang Zhongming joining too!

"If you want to see a serious competition among composers, you should check out the Battle of the Gods!"

"The Battle of the Gods refreshes my song list every year!"

"Xian Yu has been a two-time champion already, I wonder if he has a chance to win thrice this year?"

"If he can beat Father Yang, the title is his!"

"It's not easy to beat Father Yang, because Father Yang is widely recognized as the King of Charting within the industry. Any seasonal chart with his participation, he's usually either first or second."

"Wasn't there a ranking list for the maestros before? Father Yang's ranking isn't low."

"Isn't it fifth?"

"Yes, the ranking was done by a retired official from the Literary and Art Association's Music Department, and he ranked Father Yang's overall strength as fifth."

"So, is Father Yang the fifth in Blue Star?"

"These rankings are actually questionable. After the list came out, there was a lot of controversy. For example, Lu Sheng, who got the first place, got there mostly because of his age. After all, Lu Sheng is the first person in the history of Blue Star to become a maestro at the age of thirty-three. But if we ignore this halo, is Lu Sheng really stronger than Father Yang and others?"

"I feel like they should make a new ranking list."

"If they make a new ranking list, can Fish Papa make it to the top ten?"

"Fish Papa is only Maestro Junior, and he hasn't officially become a maestro yet, so I guess top ten may be a bit of a stretch."

"But I feel that Fish Papa is likely to break Lu Sheng's record of becoming a maestro at the age of thirty-three!"

"..."

In fact, there have been many online discussions about composer's ranking before.

Each person has their own arguments.

According to different people's views, the rankings of the maestros vary.

The retired official from the Literary and Art Association put Lu Sheng in first place.

But in the poll conducted by netizens, Lu Sheng only made it into the top five most times, and couldn't always secure first place.

...

On the other hand.

When Lin Yuan returned home and went online, he saw the discussion online.

"Teacher Yang is ranked fifth?"

Lin Yuan shook his head. Teacher Yang Zhongming's ability should rank higher than fifth.

Lin Yuan remembers the system once mentioned that Yang Zhongming's comprehensive composing strength ranks in the top three of Blue Star.

He is very close to the ceiling of Blue Star's composing ability!

The system jumped out at this time, "Please do not pay attention to the subjective rankings of netizens. All rankings should be based on the professionalism of the system."

Lin Yuan asked, "What is the correct ranking then?"

Lin Yuan plans to compete for the crown of Maestro, so he wanted to see the correct ranking given by the system, as he is likely to encounter these Maestros in the future.

"You can spend one million to redeem the ranking list from the system."

"Why don't you just rob me?"

"Lin Yuan said discontentedly, guessing it was because he had been more generous with his redemptions recently?"

This system actually wanted to outsmart him!

It's just a ranking, what does it have to do with me?

I don't really want to know that bad.

That's right.

I don't want to know.

Lin Yuan brainwashed himself for a while, suppressing his impulsive consumer behavior.

He just needed to know that Yang Zhongming's strength ranks in the top three...

And going by people's common phrasing, if he is mentioned as being in the top three, it generally means he is third.

Lin Yuan hadn't thought about this in detail before.

Now that he thought about it, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a bit frightened.

Even with Yang Zhongming's ability, there are still two others who can surpass him?

Who are they?

Does it include Lu Sheng?

Or other big shots?

The top Maestros of Blue Star are just this number of people.

If he doesn't make a detailed comparison, Lin Yuan can't distinguish who is stronger.

But this certainly doesn't mean that Yang Zhongming isn't strong.

Yang Zhongming's composing ability ranks third in the whole Blue Star, who dares to say that Yang Zhongming is not strong?

If it were the director's circle on earth, Yang Zhongming would at least be at the level of Nolan or Spielberg...

Lin Yuan thinks that Yang Zhongming is leaning more towards Spielberg.

Because Yang Zhongming's music, in terms of commercial property and artistic property, can be considered equal.

As for Nolan, his artistic characteristics are stronger than his commercial characteristics.

Next month, Lin Yuan will meet Yang Zhongming in the Battle of the Gods.

Lin Yuan is really looking forward to this year's Battle of the Gods.

He's more excited than the two previous ones!

Therefore, Lin Yuan is being very careful with his song selection.

He wants to bring out a strong song to compete with Yang Zhongming!

"Which song should I use..."

Countless song titles appeared in Lin Yuan's mind, but he wasn't sure which one could win.

Because this is a seasonal chart, and also the end-of-year seasonal chart where all the Gods gather.

Songs that aim to hit the charts generally pursue popularity.

Some songs might be of unbeatable quality, but they will not necessarily secure first place in the charts.

Thinking about what to have for dinner.

Lin Yuan still hasn't finalized the song.

But there were a few songs that appeared in his selection.

Let's leave it at this for today.

I'll think about it again tomorrow.

PS: That's it for today, need to think carefully about the next song, after all, it's my first time challenging a boss. As for the crowdfunding for writing the novel, does anyone have any good suggestions?
