After watching the show, Lin Yuan continued writing the Base series.
The Base series comprises seven parts.
Lin Yuan was currently writing the third part.
Just as he finished the third part and was about to start on the fourth, the second episode of season two of "Our Song" was broadcasted.
As with the first episode.
Lin Yuan watched the show with his family again.
The combination representing Qin Continent in this episode was still strong.
Queen Shu Yu, Maestro Ye Zhi Qiu!
The opponents were a pair from Han Continent.
But the result of this episode left the family sighing:
"The main loss was on the stage!"
"Didn’t expect Han Continent to also learn Wei Continent’s tricks, and even go a step further by collaborating with the dancer ranked eighteenth on Blue Star’s dance list!"
"The key is that they succeeded."
"The stage effect really was great."
"The difference in songs wasn’t big to begin with, and the opposing configuration was not lacking, so when the stage performance isn’t as good as theirs, it’s easy to lose."
Han Continent also learned from Wei Continent.
Apart from refining the songs themselves, Han Continent invested a lot in stage design as well, presenting a highly explosive visual and auditory effect!
Lin Yuan watched the second episode without saying anything.
Buried himself in writing the fourth part of the Base series.
As he completed the fourth part, just when he was about to start the fifth, the third episode of "Our Song" season two commenced.
The battle lineup from Qin Continent was even stronger than in the second episode!
But the opponents weren’t weak either, facing off against Zhong Continent!
Qin Continent regrettably lost narrowly.
Zhong Continent claimed victory.
Following the first episode’s victory, Qin Continent encountered a two-loss streak!
The loss wasn’t due to the songs because the song quality of both sides was quite close.
Qin Continent once again lost on stage presentation!
Even Zhong Continent learned bad habits, starting to play stage design tricks, and invited the dancer ranked tenth on Blue Star to assist, designing a highly cohesive dance specifically for the song, with choreography that was spectacular and eye-catching, complementing the singer’s performance perfectly!
Faced with this outcome.
Qin Continent’s audience couldn’t hold back; Qin Continent suffered on stage design for two consecutive times!
"Even King Fei couldn’t withstand it!"
"Lost again on stage design!"
"Zhong Continent also began stage design now; I remember the first season didn’t pay so much attention to stage design, it’s getting fancier."
"This can’t continue."
"Our Qin Continent also needs to find dancers for help, can’t fall in the same pit three times."
"Because that’s the trend of the competition now, all continents are gradually investing in stage design, for example, aside from Zhong Continent, Han Continent, and Wei Continent this episode, Zhao Continent and Chu Continent’s stage designs are stepping up too, if not done well, it’s really disadvantageous."
"The overall beauty of the stage is really too important!"
"Though unwilling, must admit good stage design, combined with high-quality songs, can achieve an effect greater than the sum of its parts."
Watched the third episode with family.
Lin Yuan still didn’t say anything.
The fifth part of the Base series officially started being written.
As episode four was broadcast Lin Yuan had just completed the fifth part of the Base series, preparing to write the sixth.
Before starting the sixth part of the Base series.
Lin Yuan watched the fourth episode of "Our Song" season two with his family.
This program had already become the most popular among family members, and simultaneously the most popular music variety show on Blue Star, its ratings have even surpassed the first season!
Yu Dynasty’s ace Jiang Kui appeared, she’s one of the top-ranked singers on Blue Star, and her collaborator is Lu Sheng, likewise ranked in the top ten of Maestro on the music charts!
Winning wouldn’t be hard with this lineup.
But this time Qin Continent faced off against Chu Continent, with the seventh-ranked Chu Continent Maestro making a move, carrying a singer ranked twelfth!
Qin Continent down on their knees three times!
As the second in gold medal count at the Blue Songlympics, Blue Star’s Land of Music, Qin Continent was supposed to dominate the show, but ended up with four consecutive losses, an unexpected disaster!
Though this match was lost.
The vote gap between two sides was particularly small.
The core issue stemmed from the stage.
It’s not that Qin Continent was stubborn.
Everyone’s putting effort into stage design, even a fool could see, in cases of minor differences in song quality, stage design has become one of the keys to victory, especially dancer cooperation.
Thus Qin Continent invited top-notch dancers as well to aid in stage aesthetics during this episode!
Just like many Qin Continent netizens said, can’t fall in the same pit three times, right?
But the issues Qin Continent considered, Chu Continent naturally considered too, they also did stage design, and theirs was better, so when song performance quality was neck-and-neck, Chu Continent won with a slight advantage!
Is being discussed globally!
"Have you noticed this pattern, now it’s whoever has better stage design tends to win the competition?"
"Wei Continent previously leveraged stage design and even beat Zhong Continent down!"
"The real key isn’t stage design."
"The key is the combinations of each continent, overall strength is really too close, everyone can achieve near-perfect scores, so to win, one has to compete on extra points, now stage design is that extra point."
"Another reason is top dancers are too good at cooperation, stage aesthetics come from the same team, then dancers are key unless song quality dominates, like Yan Continent versus Zhao Continent, even without much stage design still won, just Maestro and singer crushing with strength."
"Though this situation is rare."
"All top singers and top Maestros in combinations, like a king’s duel, anyone can win, so extra credit is needed!"
"Think about why Qin Continent kneeled thrice?"
"Because they didn’t realize until this episode they needed stage design, and the dancers they found weren’t stronger than others, the stage effect was discounted, if the dance could be better designed, they could have won this episode."
Qin Continent kneeled thrice.
Watching four consecutive episodes with family, Lin Yuan finally couldn’t hold back.
Qin Continent can’t lose again!
Not to mention he is also a Qin person.
Just among the four Qin Continent Maestros participating in the show, Lin Yuan has very good relations with them.
Zheng Jing, Lu Sheng, Ye Zhi Qiu, Yin Dong...
All were called to the blog by Yang Zhongming to help him!
Not to mention all the Qin Continent singers in the show, all joined the blog because of Xian Yu’s influence!
From both emotional and logical perspectives.
Lin Yuan couldn’t stand by watching them suffer continuously.
Originally planned to finish writing the Base series before dealing with this matter.
He has to take action early.
Sighing, Lin Yuan called Tong Shuwen:
"I want to be on the show."
"But it’s not yet time for a guest appearance, suddenly wanting to join, I can’t quickly arrange."
"Who said I have to go as a composer?"
"Not a composer, do you want to join as a singer!?"
Tong Shuwen was dumbfounded!
That would be too much of a bully!
If Xian Yu enters the competition as a singer, it’s like an adult bullying a child.
No matter what tricks the opponent tries.
Xian Yu’s hard strength would crush everything.
With absolute strength, tricks rarely work, such a bug must be firmly held in the Maestro seat!
Lin Yuan knew he wasn’t suited to fight for Qin Continent as a singer.
Tong Shuwen’s mind was a bit confused:
If not a composer nor a singer, in what capacity could Xian Yu join the program without violating any established rules?
ps: Originally planned to focus on songwriting, but last night before sleeping, repeatedly hesitated and suddenly realized, it’s unnecessary to stick solely to songwriting, later season rankings are a better songwriting route.
