Chapter 1245: Chapter 1047: A Single Spit Embroiders Half the Glory of the Tang Dynasty_3 Chapter 1245: Chapter 1047: A Single Spit Embroiders Half the Glory of the Tang Dynasty_3 “Surrender willingly.”
The female mentator suddenly spoke.
The direction of the barrage ments became unified.
The screen was flooded with the four characters “surrender willingly.”
Even the arrogant Middle State people didn’t dare to belittle this song “Bring in the Wine.”
Suddenly.
Someone mented:
“I can only say that our Middle State is truly isolated; this makes me very eager for Middle State to merge sooner. Actually, the song ‘Bring in the Wine’ we’re hearing is a literary work that Teacher Admirable Fish pleted long ago—I read it months ago. And Teacher Admirable Fish’s impressive poetic works aren’t just limited to this one.”
“That’s right!”
“I wanted to say this earlier, but unfortunately, no one responded. The ‘Envious Fish Poetry Collection’ that is popular across the Seven Continents contains several works of this caliber!”
*Hmm?*
The female mentator saw these ments, her heart raced, and a few words involuntarily escaped her lips:
“A poetry collection?”
“Envious Fish has a poetry collection?”
“I absolutely must buy one!”
After listening to “Bring in the Wine,” the female mentator had bee a full-fledged fan of Envious Fish, seemingly forgetting her adversarial stance. But very few Middle State people found fault with her.
“Really?”
“Are you sure you’re not joking? Envious Fish actually has a poetry collection, and the works in it are of parable quality to ‘Bring in the Wine’?”
“Where can I buy it?”
“I want a copy too!”
“This talent is simply extraordinary!”
“Just now you guys misled me so much, I really thought Envious Fish wasn’t good at writing lyrics anymore. Turns out he hadn’t been taking lyrics seriously before!”
“He definitely wasn’t taking it seriously.”
“This song showcases his talent for writing—he wasn’t even interested in playing around with lyrics, he went straight to poetry. The sophistication level just crushes everything else!”
This scene was truly amusing.
Someone who didn’t know better might think it was some online shopping livestream.
With just a few words from the female mentator and several ments, a group of Middle State people clamored to buy a copy of “Envious Fish Poetry Collection.”
In fact, this was one of the implications of bringing “Bring in the Wine” to the stage.
By this song, Envious Fish’s poetry could once again receive strong promotional waves.
Regardless of whether they admitted it or not:
No matter how exceptional a work might be, it needs time to settle—Lin Yuan’s poetry deserves broader attention.
…
Without a doubt.
Xia Fan’s performance conquered the entire scene!
But what surprised many was this:
After the second round ended, despite Xia Fan’s incredible performance, she didn’t emerge with the first-place ranking!
That’s right.
Although Xia Fan successfully advanced to the finals, her score was only second place!
This oute left the audience frowning.
There was even a small uproar at the scene.
Live-stream viewers also felt puzzled.
The judges’ perspective and the audience’s views were strikingly different!
In everyone’s eyes, Xia Fan’s performance deserved first place in this round.
Lin Yuan, however, wasn’t too surprised.
Beside him, Yang Zhongming also sighed and said, “The judges’ ears are sharper—they caught some shortings in the melody. The position for this song leaned too much toward pop. The lyrics pletely embodied ancient aesthetics, yet it’s precisely because the lyrics are so exceptional that the melody ultimately couldn’t encapsulate the essence of ‘Bring in the Wine.’ It couldn’t even achieve a balance.”
“This is on Envious Fish.”
Zheng Jing nodded in agreement, “Who asked him to write the lyrics so well?”
Lin Yuan: “…”
*This puts me in a tough spot!*
*What kind of poser could possibly create a melody perfectly matching Li Taibai’s ‘Bring in the Wine’?*
The earlier “Wishing We Last Forever” had the same issue.
Su Immortal’s timeless masterpiece—the undisputed number-one Mid-Autumn Festival poem!
No matter which poser came along, it was almost impossible for the melody to achieve equal footing with the poem, let alone surpass it.
The discrepancy between position and lyrics was inevitable!
A poser could only do their best to create something that closely aligns with the text.
Even for Maestro, what they achieved with “Bring in the Wine” was already highly mendable—the audience’s reaction spoke for itself.
Patting Lin Yuan on the shoulder,
Yang Zhongming reassured him, “It’s not your fault. At least for now, even I couldn’t pose something that matches this level of lyrics.”
Lin Yuan smiled, unfazed.
*The odd reasoning was, oddly, undeniable.*
The lyrics were already unbeatable, and because the melody couldn’t climb to the same height, perfect harmony couldn’t be achieved.
*As long as advancing happens, that’s enough.*
Lin Yuan had prepared thoroughly for the finals and wasn’t worried about facing similar problems.
…
Xia Fan advanced to the finals with second place in this round.
As the audience questioned the result, mentators and guests in major livestream rooms gave similar explanations.
The audience responded with exasperation:
“So Xia Fan didn’t get the highest score in this round because Envious Fish’s lyrics were too good?”
“Makes sense when you put it that way.”
“Although this song interprets ‘Bring in the Wine’ beautifully, the original text is truly unparalleled—no matter how well it’s interpreted, it still falls a bit short pared to the work itself.”
“Fish Papa says: ‘It’s my fault, I guess?'”
“Haha, this result is reasonable and convincing, especially since these lyrics are a perfect-score work. Achieving a six out of ten in melody is already impressive.”
“I feel like the melody scores a seven.”
“Everyone has their own views, but it’s a shared consensus: the melody truly can’t reach the level of the lyrics.”
“The judges were really strict.”
“Even if Envious Fish personally posed the melody, he wouldn’t be able to craft something fully matching his lyrics. This actually underscores the literary and artistic height of ‘Bring in the Wine.'”
“Let’s keep watching the finals.”
The audience’s expectations were already through the roof!
The second round of the ancient style project was so spectacular—it’s hard not to be curious about how remarkable the finals will be!
…
The timing of the petition was related to its duration.
The ancient style segment was arranged to finish within a single day, so the audience would soon witness the finals unfold.
This was something the coaches from all continents had been notified of the previous night.
The three contestants who advanced were all adjusting themselves to prepare for the ultimate final.
As before,
The Middle State contestant once again made it into the final three.
The Middle State contestant happened to be the one who scored first place in the second round.
Although the audience’s reaction to their performance wasn’t as strong as Xia Fan’s, the judges ultimately rated them slightly higher.
And so, the Blue Songlympics presented another classic showdown:
The Qin Continent versus the Land of Music!
No one could say how many times Middle State and Qin Continent contestants had clashed in finals throughout Blue Songlympics history.
Additionally, a singer from Zhao Continent also advanced to the finals.
However, in the audience’s view, this Zhao Continent contestant’s performance clearly didn’t match up to the Middle State contestant or Xia Fan, so they didn’t attract much attention.
On stage,
The contestants drew lots.
The Middle State contestant drew slot number one.
The Zhao Continent contestant drew slot number two.
Xia Fan drew slot number three.
After brief preparations, the Middle State contestant stepped onto the stage…

PS: Actually, Chinese-style petitions could dominate with pure China-inspired elements, but having three consecutive rounds of that could make it feel repetitive. I intentionally added some variety, but the third round will return to true Chinese style—naturally, it’ll be one of Director Zhou’s works for credibility. Can anyone guess which song it’ll be?
