Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

Liu Feng frowned.

"What happened now? Did Hua Yu really withdraw from the competition?"

"no!"

The publicity manager rushed to the table and almost shoved his phone into Liu Feng's nose.

"Hua Yu's guest performer has been leaked by paparazzi ahead of time!"

On the screen, the word "Explosive" was displayed in bright red after both trending search terms.

#Fang Yu and Hua Yu team up#

#Fang Yu makes a surprise appearance at the Peak Concert#

Liu Feng stared at the headline, his first reaction was that it was outrageous.

That's completely outrageous.

"Fang Yu is Hua Yu's backup singer?"

"Given Fang Yu's current status, can Hua Yu's team really get him to come over?"

"These marketing accounts will make up anything to meet their KPIs?"

He cursed, but his hands betrayed him, directly clicking on the nine-grid image in the trending topics.

next second.

The office fell silent.

The photos aren't very clear, but the timeline is quite complete.

The key is--

Xingcheng was not included in Fang Yu's recently released schedule.

Surely this big shot can't just fly all the way here just to play a game of Dou Dizhu with Hua Yu, right?

Liu Feng looked up, and the slight irritation he had felt earlier vanished instantly.

"Call Hua Yu's agent immediately!"

"I need a straight answer: is it Fang Yu or not?"

"good!"

The publicity manager turned and rushed outside.

A few minutes later.

The office door was pushed open once again.

"Director Liu, it's confirmed! It really is Fang Yu!"

"Hua Yu said that they originally planned to wait until the rehearsal was over and the list was officially submitted before making an official announcement, but who knew that Fang Yu was followed by paparazzi as soon as he landed."

Snapped!

Liu Feng slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.

"good!!!"

He walked around the desk three times, becoming more and more excited with each step.

What's missing from the show?

Is there a lack of young viewers?

Is there a lack of trending topics across the internet?

Is it missing a super hit that can boost viewership?

No more worries now!

Who is Fang Yu?

That's the kind of tough guy who fought his way from Mohe, where temperatures were minus thirty degrees Celsius, to CCTV's documentary series!

Not to mention, the person he's working with this time is Hua Yu!

The control group of the old "Going Home for the New Year".

Now, someone is in danger of being eliminated from the competition.

Another artist has just broken into the mainstream cultural sphere with "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales" and "Light and Brightness," and his popularity is frighteningly high.

The contrast is there.

A sense of destiny has arisen.

A topic has emerged.

The suspense is off the charts.

With this lineup announced, won't the trending topics skyrocket?

Liu Feng took two deep breaths and forced his heartbeat down.

"Notify the publicity team that the original plan is completely overturned."

"From now on, Fang Yu joining 'The Ultimate Singing Competition' will be the highest priority promotional point for the next episode!"

……

the other side.

Top floor of the hotel, executive suite.

Ding Dang had just hung up the video call with Peng Jiahui.

As the guest performer invited by Peng Jiahui for this collaborative competition, she takes this stage very seriously.

She walked to the French windows, picked up a glass of warm water, and slowly moistened her throat, preparing to practice the chorus again.

At this moment, the agent walked over quickly with his phone in hand, his expression somewhat complicated.

"Ta-da! Check out this trending topic."

Ding Dang took the phone.

The trending search terms are very eye-catching.

#Fang Yu and Hua Yu team up#

#Fang Yu makes a surprise appearance at the Peak Concert#

Ding Dang's gaze lingered on the name "Fang Yu" for a few seconds.

She didn't just have an impression of this young man; she was deeply impressed by him.

From the narrative of "Mohe Dance Hall" to the folk music expression of "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix," and then to the recently viral "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales" and "Light," this young man's creative range has long surpassed that of ordinary pop singers.

Ding Dang put down her water glass and handed her phone back to her agent.

"Sister Jia Hui just told me that she thought Hua Yu would invite a popular girl group member or a rapper to create a spectacular stage performance this time."

"I never expected him to invite Fang Yu."

The agent frowned, somewhat worried.

"That kid Fang Yu is indeed a bit strange."

"Once he arrives, all the show's popularity will definitely go to their group."

"Our strategy and Jia Hui's tactics..."

Ding Dang shook her head.

"It's not all bad."

She has been in the industry for many years, seen countless stages, and encountered countless rivals.

At her stage, what she truly fears is never that her opponents are too strong.

Rather, the stage was too cold, lacking sparks and interaction.

There is no opponent who can force everyone to show their true abilities.

Winning those kinds of matches doesn't really mean much.

"A producer who can write 'Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth' personally sang the competition song."

Dingdang said softly.

"I'd also like to see how he sings it."

She turned around, her tone calm but unquestionable.

"Call Jia Hui back."

"Inform the band coach that tomorrow's rehearsal will be extended by one hour."

"In addition, bring out our second backup plan."

The agent was stunned.

The second plan is the trump card that was originally kept under wraps and was never used.

The arrangement is more radical, and the articulation of the two high notes is extremely difficult.

Emotion, pitch, breath control – any problem in any of these areas can ruin the performance.

They originally thought it was just a cooperative match and there was no need to take such a big risk.

If we play it safe, we can still win.

But things are different now.

The agent couldn't help but remind him.

"This is a knockout stage, with very little room for error."

"Are they really going to use such a high-intensity arrangement?"

"have."

Ding Dang nodded.

Whether it's her or Peng Jiahui.

Neither of them wanted to lose.

In particular, I don't want to lose to a 24-year-old.

……

On the same floor.

The room at the end of the corridor.

Fu Longfei was sitting on the sofa, repeatedly looking at the stage movement design draft for the next competition.

His chosen song this time is an electronic dance track with a very strong rhythm. He also specially invited a top domestic street dance team to choreograph the piece, preparing to make a big comeback in the collaboration competition.

His current ranking is only above Hua Yu.

According to the competition rules, as long as he gets more votes than Hua Yu in this round, he can advance safely.

Hua Yu hasn't even managed to invite any guest singers yet.

I was just thinking about it.

The assistant pushed the door open without knocking and came in, looking somewhat pale.

"Brother Fei..."

"What's wrong? Why are you so easily startled?"

Fu Longfei raised his head, in a good mood.

The assistant pursed his lips.

"You...you should check the trending topics on Weibo first."

Fu Longfei frowned and picked up his phone.

A few seconds later.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Fang Yu?

Hua Yu's guest performer is Fang Yu?!

Fu Longfei scrolled through those photos three times.

I still find it absurd.

How is that possible?

Fang Yu and Hua Yu are standing together?

The scene seemed unreal to him just thinking about it.

What upset him even more was—

His carefully calculated chances of winning were completely disrupted by the name Fang Yu.

"Impossible...this doesn't make sense..."

Fu Longfei muttered to himself, stood up, and paced back and forth in the room.

He forced an analysis:

"Fang Yu is essentially a singer-songwriter, but even more so a producer."

"He hasn't been on many high-pressure competitive music variety shows."

"Live competitions are different from recording studio performances, and even more so from live broadcasts."

"This kind of knockout tournament is very stressful."

"What if he gets nervous, what if he makes a mistake..."

The assistant stood to the side, not daring to say anything.

Fu Longfei continued.

"Moreover, his style is completely incompatible with Hua Yu's."

"Fang Yu is more focused on creative work, while Hua Yu is more focused on stage performances; their styles may not be compatible."

One plus one does not necessarily equal two.

"Maybe... it's directly equal to zero."

The assistant swallowed hard but remained silent.

Because he could tell that Fei was trying to encourage him.

The problem is, who on the internet doesn't know that Fang Yu's mental fortitude is ridiculously monstrous?

Mohe, where the temperature drops to minus thirty degrees Celsius.

In the morning, he subdued a Class A wanted criminal with his bare hands.

Even in front of tens of thousands of people at night, he still sang "Northeast Folk Song" without changing his expression.

Would someone like that be afraid of a small studio?

Fu Longfei stopped in his tracks, and the more he thought about it, the less certain he felt.

He lowered his head and looked at the thick stage design draft on the coffee table.

Just now, he thought this stage was his trump card.

But now, as I look at it...

That royal flush seemed to suddenly turn into a one-against-three situation.
