The second episode of "I Am a Singer-Songwriter" caused a sensation across the internet with Jiang Che and his song "Moonlight".

The hype surrounding it was several times greater than that of the audition round.

Comments kept piling up under the videos on various platforms.

The highlight was the online archaeology, repeated replays, and viral video clips.

It was that line, "Who dares to cross the threshold of love?"—a line that was repeated fifteen times.

Countless people have cut out this sentence separately and converted it frame by frame.

One, two, five, ten, fifteen.

Those who finished counting were all dumbfounded.

Many more people didn't believe in superstitions and started singing along.

As a result, videos of people singing along went viral.

Some people cracked their voices on the third trill.

Someone stopped breathing halfway through their song.

Compared to Jiang Che's flawless original, the more videos of him making mistakes, the more terrifying this statement becomes.

The topic "Fifteen vowel sounds in one sentence" dominated the charts.

……

The first to get restless were people in the industry.

Professional singers and vocal coaches from all walks of life stepped in to analyze this line.

A vocal coach recorded a video analyzing the vocal placement and breath control for each of the fifteen transpositions.

As they dismantled the last piece of clothing, they shook their heads at the camera.

"This level of stability and cleanliness is something you can't achieve even after years of practice."

"That's talent."

"Monster-level singing skills."

A moderately famous singer posted a long article on social media, publicly admitting defeat.

"I practiced for three days, and I could only manage the eighth note at most before it all fell apart."

"I agree with that."

Some vocal students even edited the original version and their own cover version side by side, adding a caption.

"That's the difference between a genius and an ordinary person."

Teachers from several music schools simply incorporated this sentence into their classes, using it as an example to explain word by word.

The more knowledgeable the person involved, the more they elevate Jiang Che's strength.

The layman sees it as entertainment, but the expert sees it as terrifying.

……

The real tipping point was saved for last.

There is a top music critic in the music industry.

This person is known for his sharp tongue; he never holds back in his writing and can't praise more than a few people throughout the year.

He has thoroughly criticized the new albums of many popular singers in his music reviews.

Everyone in the industry is afraid of his pen.

But this time...

He unusually wrote a long review for a song.

The title of the long review is only four characters.

"Moonlight Gods".

In the article, he abandoned his usual harshness and instead showered praise on everyone from beginning to end.

He analyzed the traditional Chinese style of "Moonlight", saying that it stands out in four dimensions: lyrics, music, artistic conception, and cultural connotation. It is a true traditional Chinese style that is rare in the last ten years.

He even used an entire paragraph to write that line of fifteen consecutive turns.

"The control over this sentence is terrifyingly strong, defying common sense."

"I've listened to songs my whole life, but this is the first time I've ever listened to a single lyric on repeat twenty times."

At the end of the article, he wrote a very weighty assertion.

"Jiang Che is a musical genius of this new era."

"Given time, he may be able to lead an era."

This statement caused another uproar online.

Leading an era.

These six words, spoken by a harsh music critic who praises only a few people a year, carry a frightening weight.

Countless netizens were both amazed and impressed.

"The last time this teacher praised someone was the last time."

"If he said that, then this song is truly divine."

"To lead an era, I'll write this down and wait for it to come true."

"With songs like 'The Actor,' 'The Wind Rises,' and 'Moonlight,' he seems to be truly capable of it."

Jiang Che's status has been elevated to another level thanks to this long review.

He has transformed from a dark horse in variety shows into a potential genius recognized by top figures in the industry.

……

Just as Jiang Che's momentum was rising.

Shengda Media couldn't sit still any longer either.

Lin Wei's agent, Liu Lin, approached her.

Liu Lin had already had her relationship with Jiang Che investigated.

My ex-boyfriend, less than a month after we broke up, is now competing against me on the same stage.

In Liu Lin's eyes, this relationship was an immense convenience.

"Shengda cannot let go of a genius who can lead the times."

Liu Lin spoke very frankly.

"You two have a past relationship, and you're on the same show. This is an opportunity that most people would kill for."

"Humble yourself, apologize to him, and try to bring him into Shengda."

"If you succeed in this, your position in the company will immediately change."

Lin Wei's expression changed repeatedly after hearing this.

Should she apologize to her ex-boyfriend, whom she dumped and who is now incredibly successful?

This is more painful than slapping herself in the face.

But with the company's orders looming, she dared not disobey.

……

During a break in recording.

Lin Wei steeled herself and found Jiang Che inside the venue.

She abandoned her usual aloof demeanor and forced a smile.

"Jiang Che, congratulations! You were amazing this time."

Jiang Che leaned against the wall, barely lifting his eyelids.

"What's up?"

Lin Wei was taken aback by this cold attitude, but she lowered her voice and cautiously probed further.

"That's right, Shengda Media has excellent platform resources."

"With your abilities, it's a waste to keep you out there."

"Would you like to consider this? I can introduce you to one of our agents."

She hadn't finished speaking.

Jiang Che laughed, his laughter filled with undisguised sarcasm.

"You should think about whether you can safely get through the next episode."

With one sentence, he completely shut Lin Wei down.

In the third elimination round, he held the power to select the players.

The meaning of this sentence couldn't be clearer.

Lin Wei's face instantly turned bright red.

Her face was filled with shame and anger.

She suppressed her emotions and played her last card.

"Jiang Che, don't be stubborn and ask for trouble."

"You know how much influence Shengda has in this industry. If you offend Shengda, your future will not be easy."

This is a blatant threat.

Jiang Che didn't even bother to give him a second glance.

"oh."

He responded with a nonchalant tone, his expression as if he were listening to an insignificant joke.

Disdain was written all over his face.

Faced with absolute strength.

Capital also has to make way.

Lin Wei was so angry at his attitude that she trembled all over, but she couldn't do anything about it. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and turn away.

……

This scene was witnessed by Lin Xier, who happened to be passing by.

Seeing Lin Wei's flushed and pale face, and then looking at Jiang Che's nonchalant expression, she roughly guessed what had happened.

After Lin Wei walked away dejectedly, Lin Xi'er stepped forward.

"Are you in trouble?"

Her tone remained as calm as ever, but her words carried a hint of concern.

"Did Shengda put pressure on you?"

Jiang Che shook his head.

Lin Xi'er thought for a moment and then added a sentence seriously.

"Tingxian Entertainment is not afraid of Shengda."

"You can contact me for anything on this show."

These words carry significant weight.

She is the biological daughter of the chairman of Tingxian.

Tingxian and Shengda were already rivals in the industry.

The fact that she was willing to say those words meant that she already considered Jiang Che as one of her own.

Jiang Che glanced at her, then shook his head.

"It's not much of a hassle."

Those five words conveyed absolute confidence.

Calm, resolute, without the slightest hint of bluff.

After saying that, he nodded to her, turned around, and slowly walked away.

……

Lin Xi'er stood there, watching his departing figure, stunned for a moment.

She couldn't figure it out.

Shengda has deep roots in this industry, possessing abundant resources, connections, and channels, making it so powerful that it can overwhelm countless newcomers.

Countless talented young people have been crushed underfoot by behemoths like Shengda.

But Jiang Che didn't even blink when faced with Shengda's threats.

Where does that confidence come from?

She couldn't figure it out.

The person she invited into the show from behind the wall has one mystery after another, and the more you dig into him, the deeper the mystery becomes.

Lin Xi'er gently exhaled.

No matter what.

Jiang Che was invited into "I Am a Singer-Songwriter" by her own hands.

She acknowledged this cause and effect.

So Shengda wanted to take action against him.

She didn't intend to let it go unchecked.

She turned and walked towards the recording studio, but the question kept swirling in her mind.

Where does that confidence come from?

She had a vague feeling that what Jiang Che was hiding was far more surprising than one hit song after another.
