Showbiz: That Summer, Talent Triumphed over Capital

Mao Xiaoyi transmigrated to a parallel world and was competing in the Rising Star solo division.

One performance of "Ideal Thirty" brought the whole audience to tears, including the star mentors and fans in the livestream!

One toast to tomorrow, one toast to the past. "Worries" voiced what so many people were feeling.

"Someone Like Me" sang of the heartache of countless ordinary people.

At the competition, Hua Chenyu gave Mao Xiaoyi a very different evaluation.

"I guess I'm different from everyone else. I've never expected anything from you."

"Your compositions have never passed muster with me, not once. If you're not good at writing music, you can ask someone else to do it."

Mao Xiaoyi triggered a challenge mission and challenged the hugely popular star mentor Hua Chenyu to a musical showdown, with the result to be decided by an online vote.

From then on, Mao Xiaoyi ushered in a new era for Chinese-language music!
