What dragon versus tiger?
What fairy fighting a deity?
The fierce battle that the industry had expected, the scenario where the music industryâs top bigwigs were locked in a tough fight, didnât happen in the December season rankings.
This was only the first day of the Battle of the Godsâ¦
All suspense was prematurely ended by Xian Yuâs lyrics!
After the industry regained its senses, there were surprised exclamations one after another, with many people having a surreal feeling:
âWhat the heck is this?â
âDid I time travel or did I open this wrong, how is this outcome different from âTen Yearsâ dominating in September?â
âIf you look at the result and not the intent, indeed there is no difference, both are Xian Yu wreaking havoc.â
âNow that you mention it, I really feel like Iâm dreaming of September.â
âBut the problem is, those who competed with Xian Yu in September were all underdogs, but those who competed with Xian Yu in December are all singing kings and queens and their corresponding music maestros!â
âAll the big shots brought out their aces in December, only Xian Yu flipped the table!â
âThis is totally against the rules!â
âCan you even play like this? In a competition for composing, someone eventually won the Battle of the Gods with lyrics?â
âIf you say you donât accept it, itâs normal for him to win given how he wrote the lyrics; if you say you accept it, the music and performance, although excellent, are not enough to create havoc, isnât this a hard pill for other big shots to swallow?â
Someone couldnât help but exclaim:
âAlthough Xian Yu won the Battle of the Gods a bit sneakily, the big shots didnât lose in vain, the lyrics of âMay We Live Longâ are simply a timeless masterpiece. The official review called it the pinnacle of moon-themed poetry. You must know that there are countless pieces of ancient moon-themed poetry after hundreds of years of literary development, and none has been universally acknowledged as the pinnacle of moon-themed poetry.â
ââ¦â
The industryâs sighs also directly voiced the frustration of the kings, queens and maestros during that time.
A comparison of performance?
Everyone definitely admits that Jiang Kui sang very well, better than anyone could imagine!
So good that no one would doubt that Jiang Kui would officially step into the top ranks with this song!
Butâ¦
Even if Jiang Kui sang very well, heâs just on par with the kings and queens of singing!
A comparison of composition?
Everyone also acknowledges that Xian Yuâs composition is as good as always, in line with his usual output level.
But, the works presented by the maestros this time are also exceptionally well-composed!
We wonât say theyâre much better than Xian Yuâs.
But theyâre definitely not worse than Xian Yuâs!
Even, Xian Yuâs composition is a bit inferior.
Because Xian Yu adopts a lyrical style in his composition, but for a song to top the chart, it needs to have a stronger melody and rhythm, like Xian Yuâs âRed Sunâ which topped the chart last year, is a good example.
In other wordsâ¦
If everyone only competed in performance and composition, âMay We Live Longâ could not possibly have won the championship without any suspense, Xian Yu might not even be able to secure his position as the champion.
Everyone admits this.
But the problem lies with the lyrics.
The lyrics written by Xian Yu this time are too extraordinary, to the point that theyâre impressive, and even more so, the audience downloaded the entire song just because of the lyrics of âMay We Live Longâ!
Itâs a strong bundle!
Those who like this song, even if theyâre not that interested in the music, would also extend their love from lyrics to the composition!
In response to this, a certain queen could only laugh bitterly and say:
âXian Yu has provided a new strategy for the competition for the season rankings, but this new strategy is not replicable unless thereâs another lyricist who can write a song with lyrics of a timeless classic like âSong of Waterâ.â
Yes.
Everyone is not convinced by the composition and performance, but they can also understand the audienceâs choice. âSong of Waterâ is simply a work of art, everyone is willing to pay for the artistry of the whole song!
How can anyone complain?
Does Xian Yu cheat?
Xian Yu didnât cheat, lyrics are part of a song, and good lyrics naturally enhance the song.
Letâs not go far, just take a song from Celestial Dynasty from a few years ago as an example.
Why did Mao Maoâs âDissipating the Sorrowâ go viral the moment it was released?
Isnât it because of the pleasant melody and superb lyrics?
If youâre not convinced, why not write a âSong of Waterâ level piece of lyrics?
Canât write it?
Isnât that it.
This is Xian Yuâs unique advantage.
The music scene canât just obliterate Xian Yuâs enormous advantage because others donât have it.
Are black people born to be good at running, so we should ban black people from competing in races?
Celestial Dynasty is unbeatable in table tennis, so should the Olympics remove this event?
That doesnât make sense.
Because if you maximize your talent and effort, you can do it too.
Thatâs why Liu Xiang once dominated a certain event, even suppressing countless black athletes.
A certain kingâs summary of the Battle of the Gods was fairly objective: âAll I can say is that in order to retain the title of this yearâs champion song in the Battle of the Gods, Xian Yu brought out his secret weapon that he had never used before and successfully achieved a one-hit kill.â
Not just a one-hit kill, itâs a fatal blow.
And when countless netizens witnessed these reactions from all sectors one after another, and saw the official review of âSong of the Waterâ, their shocked hearts added a bit more worship for Xian Yu:
âTwo consecutive Battle of the Gods championships!â
âXian Yu really defended his title, wasnât someone analyzing Xian Yuâs chance of winning based on past Battle of the Gods data before, who could have thought that Xian Yu could seize such a low chance of defending the title.â
âWith two consecutive championships, is a triple crown far away?â
âI was going to say youâre dreaming, but based on Xian Yuâs usual saying half of what he thinks, letâs just withhold this possibility for now, even though the chance of this happening is countless times lower than two championships.â
âIâm just a mindless fan, I just have to say, the day when the Yu Dynasty rules the music scene will come!â
âStop talking about this for now, havenât you guys noticed yet?â
âNoticed what?â
âIâve already felt it, the will of the number two from the universe.â
âWait a minute!â
âDonât tell me?â
âKing Feiâ¦ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDid heâ¦â
ââ¦comeâ
âSecond????â
At this moment, almost everyone spontaneously opened the December season rankings, looking for the first figure under Xian Yu.
Then, all the netizens got shocked!
The song currently ranked second in the Battle of the Gods is a new song called âLeapâ, and if one opens the details of this song, they will findâ¦
Lyrics: Ni Hongwu
Composition: Yin Dong
Singer: Fei Yang
The eternal King Fei!
The will of the number two has quietly arrived!
