Chapter 283: Chapter 265: You’re So Sassy_1

In fact, it wasn’t just Admirable Fish with the exaggerated odds.

For instance, the increasing odds for songwriters such as Lonely and Momo, who once challenged Maestro, were also the subject of heated discussions among netizens.

The lowest odds were still above 2.0.

In fact, in the gamble dog’s analyisis, besides the two maestros, only Lonely and Momo were considered more promising than Admirable Fish.

However, while they all admitted that no composer in this group was inferior, they were helpless.

The influence of these two maestros were just too big!

This was reflected by historical records and available data.

Even from a professional judgement perspective, the first two spots had an 80% chance of being dominated by these two maestros.

After all, singers were all kings and queens of singing, and none of them were overshadowed in terms of popularity.

Given that there was no discernable difference in popularity among the singers, it all came down to whose composer behind them could make a bigger impact.

“I’m too lazy to bet on myself winning the championship.”

Due to the low odds, Fei Yang said to Yin Dong with a bitter smile in his words, but his pride and confidence were palpable in his tone!

Coming first in ordinary times was no big deal.

For a king of singing to get into the competition, how could he not aim for first place?

Securing the first place in December when kings and queens of songs were battling each other was the true honour!

The more powerful the opponent, the more it highlighted one’s own strength!

Well…

The last time didn’t count, it just couldn’t.

It was clear that last time, Admirable Fish’s “Change Myself” was endorsed by the officials.

That was an irresistible factor that only appears once in several years, so it was just his bad luck.

“Oh, I did place a bet.”

Yin Dong had no particular emotion, and his words were clear and direct.

Fei Yang laughed, “How much did you bet?”

He didn’t ask who Yin Dong bet on, because Yin Dong would only bet on himself, asking him would be superfluous.

Yin Dong replied, “One yuan.”

Fei Yang was speechless.

He knew that Yin Dong was not joking when he bet one yuan on himself.

The money wasn’t the point.

This one yuan represented Yin Dong’s confidence in their duo winning the championship!

In a similar vein.

In fact, apart from Lin Yuan, who didn’t place a bet, several other parties did to some extent. For instance, another maestro, Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu was much more generous than Yin Dong. He also bet on his own side for a hundred yuan.

Upon hearing the news, Haitang, the queen of singing who collaborated with Ye Zhiqiu, was dumbfounded, “Why is His Lordship also joining in the fun?”

“If Yin Dong can bet, why can’t I?”

Ye Zhiqiu was forty-five years old, but he looked to be over fifty, with quite some white hairs that matched his title of ‘His Lordship’ well.

However, when he spoke, he sounded more like a naughty old boy.

It was Yin Dong himself who told Ye Zhiqiu about his bet.

The maestros knew each other quite well.

After all they were all the top talents in their field, if they didn’t maintain close contact, it would be rather lonely.

So after hearing that Yin Dong had placed a bet of one yuan, Ye Zhiqiu also placed a bet on himself, for a hundred yuan.

“That’s a hundred times more confidence!”

These were the exact words that Ye Zhiqiu said to Yin Dong.

Yin Dong then let out a cold laugh, his mechanical “haha” was quite unnatural.

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhiqiu sympathised with him.

Yin Dong always seemed to be indifferent.

However, little did people know, Yin Dong was not gloomy, but born with an illness, that he had been suffering from facial paralysis since he was a child.

Outsiders would only see Yin Dong as aloof and hard to talk to, and Yin Dong would not explain.

As a maestro, there was indeed no discomfort.

“You talk so much that I almost want to bet myself.” Haitang said.

Of course, she was only joking, everyone had their own musical philosophy, and she felt that not participating was her way of showing respect to music.

However, if others placed a bet, she would not stand on a moral high ground to judge them.

Like His Lordship’s style, or Yin Dong’s, they were just expressing a must-win attitude.

“If you want to bet, I can recommend one to you, insider news!”

Ye Zhiqiu said with a mysterious smile, “You bet on Admirable Fish and Lan Yan’s duo, bet on them coming third, it’s a sure win!”

“Why?”

Haitang was startled.

So, there were inside stories about this?

Ye Zhiqiu shrugged, “I had a chat with an old friend from Starlight last night, a song that could make her back down once shouldn’t be a bad one, and, in my personal judgement alone, Admirable Fish is underestimated. He is not worse than Momo and Lonely.”

Haitang had an undergoing shift in her complexion.

She wouldn’t place a bet because of this, but she was just caught by surprise by Ye Zhiqiu’s appraisal. It seemed that in this maestro’s eyes, Admirable Fish was receiving undue attention?

“You don’t believe it?”

Ye Zhiqiu continued, “If you don’t, you can listen to all of Admirable Fish’s work. Then you will discover an interesting fact.”

“Like what?”

“Admirable Fish’s works are fancifully free in style. I’m not saying his composition is superb. It surely is superb, but Momo and Lonely aren’t any worse, and they even do better in many ways. However, what’s strange about Admirable Fish is that he seems to always be trying different styles and types of composition.”

This was a characteristic that only a few people would notice.

Normally, there is a commonality in a composer’s works with a distinct personal label.

But Admirable Fish’s songs seemed to be from different authors, yet oddly, they were indeed all from Admirable Fish!

This was what surprised Ye Zhiqiu.

This genius composer, who rose to fame in the past two years, seemed to wield wisdom from various schools of thought.

So, even Ye Zhiqiu was somewhat curious as to what kind of style and route Admirable Fish would take for his new song.

Haitang seemed thoughtful.

Perhaps because everyone was overly concerned about December, it influenced Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan surprisingly announced several times on the Tribeapp that he was releasing a new song, even using Chu Kuang’s account to repost it.

In addition, he asked Luo Wei to repost it using Shadow’s account.

Three pseudonyms in action at the same time.

“…Understood.”

Luo Wei didn’t seem to be pleased. She thought Lin Yuan was “aiding the enemy”.

She was a little unsure whether Shadow and Admirable Fish were love rivals or frenemies, but she dutifully did as he asked anyway.

Of course, the fans were buying it.

The comments were all uniformly filled with a “supportive” attitude.

Not just fans.

Many singers who had collaborated with Lin Yuan also reposted the news.

For instance, Chen Zhiyu, Sun Yaohuo, Jiang Kui, and Zhao Ying Ge…

Chen Zhiyu and others were relatively conservative. The texts accompanying their reposts were mainly “Aiming for Top Three,” “Good Luck Teacher Admirable Fish,” “Wishing a Big Hit for Teacher Admirable Fish’s New Song,” etc. Clearly, they didn’t think that Lin Yuan could win the championship.

Only Sun Yaohuo’s accompanying text was the most domineering and confident:

“I hereby wish ‘Red Sun’ to become the championship song of December! On the day the song is downloadable, you can enjoy a 30% discount at Flame Hot Pot Restaurant. On the day when junior brother wins the championship, all consumption at Flame Hot Pot Restaurant will be 70% off for a full 24 hours!”

Jiang Kuii: “…”

Chen Zhiyu: “…”

Zhao Ying Ge: “…”

You are so ostentatious.

Is there such a play?

Even Lin Yuan was moved when he saw Sun Yaohuo’s repost, although most of the comments in Sun Yaohuo’s comment section were asking for the exact address of his hot pot restaurant…
