Chapter 136 The Heavenly King Selection Restarted

As the selection process progressed, rumors began to circulate online.

Among them, Xiao Qingfeng has become the most popular contestant this year.

Among the many rumors, one about Xiao Qingfeng was the most explosive.

Rumors circulated that Xiao Qingfeng would win seven major awards, and this news immediately caused a huge uproar online.

Music fans were thrilled and engaged in lively discussions on various social media platforms.

"If Xiao Qingfeng can really win seven major awards, that would be amazing. He absolutely deserves such an honor."

"Is this news reliable? But given Xiao Qingfeng's strength and performance this year, it's not impossible."

"I'm so excited! I hope this rumor is true. Xiao Qingfeng will definitely shine at the Chinese Music Awards."

Fans of other singers had mixed feelings, admiring Xiao Qingfeng's talent while also worrying about their idol.

"Xiao Qingfeng is indeed very talented, but this means that other singers will have far fewer opportunities."

"I have to admit Xiao Qingfeng's strength, but I still hope that my idol can also achieve something."

People in the Chinese music industry have also been discussing this news extensively.

Some veteran musicians believe that if Xiao Qingfeng really wins seven major awards, it will be a major event in the history of Chinese music awards.

"Xiao Qingfeng's musical talent is undeniable. His works, both in composition and performance, have reached a very high level. If he can win seven major awards, it will set a new benchmark for the Chinese music scene."

However, some people are skeptical of this news, believing it may just be an unfounded rumor.

"Before the awards are announced, everything is just speculation. Although Xiao Qingfeng is very talented, it is still a bit unbelievable that he won seven major awards at once."

As December 31st approaches, the discussion about whether Xiao Qingfeng will win seven major awards is becoming increasingly heated.

Xiao Qingfeng himself focused on filming the TV series and did not respond to these rumors.

In addition, there is even more exciting news: the "Music King Selection" event, which has been suspended for many years in the Hong Kong Chinese music scene, will be restarted on December 15.

This time, in addition to the most authoritative music selection organizations in Hong Kong, global netizens will be invited to vote. Participating artists include, but are not limited to, those from Hong Kong, mainland China, and Taiwan. Any singer of Chinese descent can participate in the selection.

This news shocked everyone.

Both netizens and singers in the music industry are completely bewildered.

It's worth noting that in the half-century since Mandarin pop music became so popular, only six Heavenly Kings and four Heavenly Queens have emerged in the entire Mandarin music scene.

The selection of the Four Heavenly Queens and the Four Heavenly Kings was decided forty years ago, and they were all born in the same year.

That era was truly a time of fierce competition among the elite, so the selection criteria were extremely stringent.

The Four Heavenly Kings and Four Heavenly Queens were undoubtedly among the best of the best at the time. Although some of them were not the best singers or the best-looking, their overall strength was undoubtedly the strongest and most comprehensive at the time.

Even today, the Four Heavenly Kings and Four Heavenly Queens still hold a pivotal position in the music and film industries and remain benchmarks in the Chinese music scene.

Therefore, the criteria for selecting superstars were all based on these conditions. Because the conditions were too strict, the "superstars" who should have been selected annually were forced to remain unselected for many years.

Back then, after the Four Heavenly Kings, Song Yaowei originally had the opportunity to become the Fifth Heavenly King. However, just as his career was on the rise, he was sidelined, which caused his career to stagnate.

About ten years later, Qi Xian emerged, and his songs "Sad Arctic Ocean" and "Unsoft Heart" became hits all over the country.

The self-titled album "Sad Arctic Ocean" sold ten million copies during the DVD era, breaking many records in the Chinese music scene.

Therefore, he became the undisputed fifth king of that year, and the sales record of his discs has always been talked about.

When Qi Xian was at the height of his popularity, even the Four Heavenly Kings and Four Heavenly Queens had to give way to him in the music scene. The only drawback was that Qi Xian's peak period was too short.

It wasn't because his performance declined, but because he met the incredibly talented sixth king, Jay Chou.

Jay Chou's emergence quickly brought an end to the era of Qi Xian, the Fifth Heavenly King.

Jay Chou, with his unique musical style and innovative creative concepts, has stirred up an unprecedented storm in the Chinese music scene.

His music blends Chinese and Western elements, cleverly combining various styles such as rap, R&B, and classical music to create his own "Zhou-style music".

When Qi Xian established himself in the music scene with his heartfelt love songs, Jay Chou made a strong comeback with songs such as "Double Flower Stick," "Easy to Love," and "Eighteen Mile Fragrance."

The rhythmic melody, unique lyrics, and Jay Chou's distinctive singing style instantly attracted countless young listeners.

His songs are no longer limited to the traditional love song model, but cover multiple themes such as youth, dreams, friendship, and love, allowing people to feel the infinite possibilities of music.

Jay Chou's achievements in music are nothing short of brilliant. His album sales have repeatedly broken records, and each album release has sparked a buying frenzy.

His songs are extremely popular; you can hear his voice everywhere, from the streets and alleys to the school radio.

His concerts are always sold out, with fans coming from all over just to catch a glimpse of his stage presence.

Jay Chou's music is not only warmly received in China, but also has a large number of fans overseas.

His music transcends language and cultural barriers, showcasing the charm of Chinese music to the world. He has won numerous important music awards both domestically and internationally, becoming a landmark figure in the Chinese music scene.

Jay Chou's emergence has changed the landscape of the Chinese music scene. With his musical talent and innovative spirit, he has set a new benchmark for the Chinese music industry.

Even today, Jay Chou's songs are still widely talked about.

However, since then, the Chinese music scene has not produced a single superstar or super queen in nearly two decades, and the Chinese music scene has almost declined.

Nowadays, there are many singers in the music scene with millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of fans. But even a phenomenal idol singer like Jing Chenxi, who seems very popular, cannot reach the position of "King of Pop".

Of course, at one of his concerts, Jing Chenxi was called "the eternal king of the Chinese music scene" by his fans, and he naturally accepted it without even blushing.

Even so, Jing Chenxi's so-called "King of Pop" title was bestowed upon him by his own fans, lacking any credibility and even bringing him a wave of ridicule.

However, the selection of superstars is conducted by specialized organizations. These three organizations are Rolling Gold, Flying Stone, and PolyDie. Only those superstars who have passed their certification have credibility.

Of course, this credibility comes from the reputation of the three major institutions over the years and their status in the industry, which no one can shake to this day.

Just as singers and netizens were getting excited about this, news broke that "a new king will be crowned in this year's King of Pop competition, and it's almost certain that it will be Xiao Qingfeng."

The news, though its veracity has yet to be confirmed, has already gone viral across the internet.
