Lin Yuan usually participates in variety shows based on his mood. He was involved in shooting "Fish Walking with You" with the Yu Dynasty because of Tong Shuwen’s persuasion at the time.
Maybe if he’s interested tomorrow, the Yu Dynasty could get together again to shoot a few more episodes of "Fish Walking with You".
At this moment, Tong Shuwen’s new variety show has also piqued Lin Yuan’s interest: "Is Abigail joining too?"
Tong Shuwen replied with a smile: "I used three reasons to convince him. The first reason is that you participated in the first season of this show, the second reason is that Yang Zhongming also participated in the first season, and the third reason is that it’s initiated by the Literature and Art Association."
Given Abigail’s personality, the first two reasons are already quite persuasive.
However, Tong Shuwen’s third reason surprised Lin Yuan: "The Literature and Art Association is also interested in this show?"
"Previously, The Masked Singer also had the backing of the Literature and Art Association, and they are quite eager to see such shows. As for scheduling conflicts, you don’t need to worry because there are so many participants that individual workload will be reduced."
"Since you’ve joined the first season, you should know that this show is meant to create songs for singers, which might take some effort."
This won’t take much effort.
Of course, Lin Yuan’s expression remained unchanged:
"The Yu Dynasty is participating too?"
Tong Shuwen replied immediately: "I’ve already contacted them, and everyone is interested because if our show becomes popular, it will definitely affect the rankings of singers and musicians. In fact, I believe this show will definitely be a hit, as the lineup we’re able to invite is almost like a mini Blue Songlympics in scale—top singers, top composers, top lyricists, top staging, everything is up to Blue Star’s highest standards!"
Lin Yuan no longer hesitated: "Count me in."
Tong Shuwen was elated!
The secret to riches was secured!
Xian Yu is Tong Shuwen’s secret weapon to high ratings.
With Xian Yu in a variety show, it never disappoints.
In Tong Shuwen’s plan, the most indispensable person for this show was Xian Yu!
Lin Yuan inquired: "What’s the format?"
Tong Shuwen mysteriously replied: "I won’t reveal the format. No one knows except me, but you can refer to some elements from the first season for inspiration."
He understood Tong Shuwen’s implication.
It’s simply the show’s team putting obstacles before the composers and singers in various creative ways.
Especially for the Maestros, the team seems to want to test the limits of their creative talents.
After hanging up the phone.
Lin Yuan immediately talked about this in the Yu Dynasty group chat.
Upon knowing he was also participating in the second season, everyone got excited, each sending messages like a Gatling gun:
"As long as you represent us, I’m relieved."
"According to Director Tong, this show is almost like a mini Blue Songlympics, the lineup of composers and singers is extremely strong!"
"Now this is interesting."
"If the show gets popular later, it will definitely affect singer rankings, and even the rankings of Maestros, after all, the format must include lots of head-to-head competition pk."
"Make sure you choose me next time as your partner!"
"Choose me, choose me!"
"I’m super competitive!"
Everyone reminisced about the first season of "Our Song", which included segments where composers and singers could choose one another.
Choosing the right composer can make you soar!
But Tong Shuwen is very skilled at creating show effects.
The format tends to not be harsh but definitely messes with one’s mentality.
No one knows what quirky rules the second season’s format will end up adopting.
With Xian Yu’s involvement, the timing was finally ripe, and Tong Shuwen released news of the new variety show to the public:
"Do you still remember ’Our Song’? The showdown of top singers! The creative battle among top composers! Sparks flying between top composers and singers! The second season of ’Our Song’ with an upgraded format..."
The promotion was quite heartfelt.
The team led by Tong Shuwen directly compiled highlights from the first season to create a nostalgic trailer!
Like Sun Yaohuo singing "Broad Ocean and Sky".
Like Fei Yang singing the climax of "Father".
Like Xian Yu singing "Dalaran Panic" which sparked a frenzy.
Netizens from Qin, Qi, Chu, and Yan were extremely excited, reminiscing about those exciting moments from "Our Song"!
"Ahhhh, I’m up for the second season!"
"This great program should have had a second season long ago, and The Masked Singer, why didn’t it continue?"
"The second season couldn’t be made because Fish Papa made the first one too incredible."
"Without Fish Papa becoming Prince of Lanling in the second season, it would be less exciting."
"’Our Song’ is still the best watch. Looking forward to seeing the show team challenge the Maestros in various styles!"
"Hahaha, Director Tong knows how to make music variety shows! Way better than those from Qi Continent."
"I’ve rewatched the first season three times already."
"The second season’s lineup is even more terrifying, I’m worried if Director Tong can handle it, given how many big shots there are. How many episodes would this show need to make?"
Netizens from Qin, Qi, Chu, and Yan were super hyped, while those from Han, Zhao, Wei, and Zhong Continent were incredibly excited!
Most of these four continents hadn’t seen "Our Song".
But it doesn’t matter whether they’ve seen the first season of "Our Song", since variety shows aren’t like dramas—they’re not something that will leave you puzzled if you don’t catch the previous season.
Tong Shuwen doesn’t even need to say much.
Just throw in a few names in the promo, it’s enough for them to collectively thrill!
Names like Yang Zhongming;
Including and yet not limited to them!
Maestros and Kings of Singing from various continents, fully encompassing!
It’s arguably the biggest event since the end of the Blue Songlympics!
Not to mention Tong Shuwen also indicated that the Literature and Art Association is backing this show:
The Literature and Art Association will observe performances of composers and singers on the show to consider their influence on rankings.
"This is the pace of becoming the year’s super blockbuster variety show!"
"Even as someone who never watches varieties, I’m getting excited!"
"Mainly because such a lineup truly feels like Blue Songlympics, except there’s no pure music projects beyond songs."
"The show should simply be renamed ’Blue Songlympics’ (doghead)
"Are we about to watch Fish Papa lead the singers on the charge again?"
"Just now Fei Yang posted he’s joining too in this show!"
"King Fei is not even the most formidable one."
"Singers ranked higher than King Fei are competing too!"
"Is this going to break the singer lineup limit of the Blue Songlympics?"
This program feels like a Blue Songlympics without the pure music version, it’s the grandest music variety of Blue Star!
This is essentially the variety show version of Blue Songlympics!
ps: Whether it’s the Blue Songlympics or a variety show, they are simply carriers in the storyline, ultimately aiming to write songs organically.
