After offending capital, my songs became more and more popular.

Chapter 1: Do you have capital behind you?
The pattering rain on the floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the neon lights of the city at night. Amidst the bustling traffic, desire and beauty, like those colorful lights, were mixed together, neither clearly intertwined nor hybridized.

The firewood burned in the dark, matte fireplace, occasionally making a "crackling" sound. Through the firelight, the boy's blank face came into view.

"Holy crap..."

Shen Ming'en held his head in his hands, his pupils dilated, and muttered something like a mantra:

"How could someone make such a huge mess..."

"And it just so happens that I was transported here to take over..."

"This is so realistic..."

Shen Ming'en, who had just transmigrated to this parallel world, never imagined that he would be so different from those who hadn't bought houses or entered the real estate market before, hadn't taken out bank loans to buy A-shares during last year's National Day holiday, and hadn't even bothered with the skyrocketing gold prices, vowing to live an ordinary life rather than get caught in a losing position.

One day, I time-traveled and landed a huge burden!
Let's take a look at today's trending topics on Weibo and Douyin...

"#Shen Ming'en goes all out, revealing tons of inside information about Chuangfei Entertainment!#"

"#Zhou Qian insults fans, Liu Da C's fans, Chen Canxing's sarcastic remarks about fans, Ma Weize is even more ruthless, directly attracting fans!"

"#Xu Erde didn't pay taxes he should have, but he slept with plenty of women he shouldn't have!"

"#According to statistics, more than 30 people have been killed or injured in the Ming'en Incident; despite the heavy casualties, the battle remains fierce, and the number of casualties continues to rise...ing.#"

"#The collapses of top celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry are all different, but what's ruined is a uniformity!"

#Daily Question: Will Shen Mingen still be in the Chinese entertainment industry tomorrow?#

"#Romance is this: Shen Ming'en, with his sharp tongue that rivals all others and reigns supreme throughout history, yet amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he reaches out his bloodied hands and personally lifts Shen Luo up!"

"#Wei Zihan, why did you have to mess with this 'living father' of all people?!"

#Feng Yucan remained silent, only expressing his agreement!#

"#The Tencent Video All Star Awards remained silent, just kept shaking the camera!#"

"#Wang Banbi remains silent, only releasing new songs!#"

……

"A white phosphorus-type personality!"

Shen Ming'en held his head in his hands, complaining incessantly.

The parallel world's predecessor, who shared his name, was originally a dutiful and hardworking nobody in the entertainment industry, with no major illnesses except for a bit of depression.

Around the end of the year, I took on a role in a drama. I was supposed to be the male lead, but when I arrived, I found out that the production team had tricked me. The director's boyfriend, the top star Wei Zihan, became the male lead, and I was the second male lead.

He initially thought it was a big production, and the second male lead had a significant role; if he acted well, he could become famous, so he tolerated it...

Unexpectedly, during filming, Wei Zihan was frequently late and acted like a diva, making his co-star stand for hours in nearly minus 20 degrees Celsius waiting for him!
My buddy just subtly mentioned it after a scene, and Wei Zihan immediately held a grudge against him...

Under the director's leadership, the entire crew isolated him, sending out assembly notices without telling him the time and place, causing him to arrive late and make a wasted trip. The director then took the opportunity to release a press release accusing him of being arrogant and threatening to terminate his contract.

In the end, this guy didn't even get a share of the credits, and he even had to pay the production crew hundreds of thousands of yuan in compensation!
The person who was kicked out of the production team was furious and went directly to Weibo to accuse the production team of the inhumane treatment they had inflicted on him.

Instead of receiving sympathy, he was met with a barrage of attacks from Wei Zihan's fans. The production team not only bought articles to smear him, but also colluded with the agency he had just signed with to put pressure on him. This angered him so much that he directly confronted these people in the comments section.

At first, everything was normal, but it was just a minor incident and didn't amount to much.

It wasn't until some of Wei Zihan's "friends in the industry" couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to share the hashtag and speak up for him that the situation started to get a little strange...

I don't know where the predecessor got a bunch of dirt on him. The originally calm Kapibala suddenly turned into a war god honey badger. Whenever someone showed up to speak up for Wei Zihan and the crew, he was basically killed instantly!

They dropped solid, bombshell revelations, giving them no chance to breathe!
Eight-tenths of a halo shining on your head, can you handle that?

How severe was the epilepsy in the previous life?
He became so crazy that even if a random passerby asked a celebrity if they had any inside stories, he would say he had pictures of everything he knew!

They're in a bloodthirsty frenzy!
You get what you ask for; even the Northwest Hammer King has to acknowledge his professionalism!
Anyway...

That night, the stars collapsed!

That night, these top celebrities were stunned, their fans were stunned, and the capital behind them was also stunned!
When the talent agencies woke up, they found that their cash cows had been snapped in half, and they felt like the sky had fallen!
We've seen plenty of celebrity scandals, but this is the first time we've seen so many collapse overnight!
It can be said that its predecessor single-handedly created the entire domestic entertainment industry and fired the first shot in the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal movement in the domestic entertainment industry!
Historically known as: The Ming'en Incident!
In the past two days, the trending topics on Weibo, Douyin, Zhihu, Xiaohongshu, and other online social platforms have all been dominated by the name "Shen Ming'en".

Many fans are now afraid to sleep at night, fearing that when they wake up, their beloved pigeon will also be exposed by Shen Mingen... Here's the story.

The predecessor of this story had already given up on life, and didn't even want to live anymore. After doing all this, he simply ended his own life.

The problem is, he doesn't want to live a normal life, but Shen Ming'en, who just transmigrated here, does!
He spoke his mind freely, saying it was great to see who could outdo him, but these top stars all have their own management companies and their own capital behind them!
He snapped their little cash cow in one fell swoop; how could those behind-the-scenes capitalists not be furious?!

Can't we unite and block him?!

It's worth noting that just the second day after the incident began, all the advertisements, commercial performances, variety shows, and film crews that the company had previously received sent emails terminating their contracts!
He's now seen by netizens as a fearless and outspoken figure in the entertainment industry, widely praised; but within the industry, he's considered a complete scoundrel, someone nobody wants to be associated with!
Not only did he inexplicably time-travel, but he also inherited such a huge mess. What is Shen Ming'en supposed to do?!
"What the hell is this? A disastrous start..."

Lying on the smooth, mirror-like floor, the warmth of the underfloor heating did not bring Shen Ming'en any comfort. Right now, all Shen Ming'en wanted was for his predecessor to take him away with him.

As she pondered, she even started humming a song: "Take me away, to the far future~ Take me away, from the loneliness of spinning alone~"

"Ha~" In the end, he laughed at himself in anger.

Just as he was feeling speechless and helpless, his phone rang. Shen Ming'en picked it up and saw that it was a message from his friend Feng Yucan.

Feng Yucan: "Brother, I just got news that 'Chinese Music Music Center' is also going to kick you out."

Scratching his messy hair, Shen Ming'en looked constipated...

"Chinese Music Show Center" is a music creation variety show that the predecessor was participating in. Isn't it because the predecessor's Weibo account recently went crazy and created a sensation in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, attacking so many entertainment companies' cash cows? Those capitals are now uniting to fight back...

They're buying articles to smear him everywhere, and using all sorts of connections to get all his jobs shut down.

"Chinese Music Center" is basically the only show that hasn't kicked Shen Ming'en out yet.

Just now, Shen Ming'en was wondering if he could use this show to plagiarize songs from his past life and give himself a glimmer of hope...

Looking back now, I realize how naive I was.

Sometimes, it's useless to write or sing a good song. The entertainment industry is a capitalist industry, and the premise of "talent defeating capital" is that you didn't offend capital in the first place.

He not only offended them, he offended them terribly!

No matter how well you write or sing, it's useless!
"What other options are there? Ugh..." Scratching his head, Shen Ming'en couldn't come up with a solution and couldn't help but scream in his mind, "System? System! Are you there?!"

"You should at least give me a tap!"

"I'm a time traveler! I'm a time traveler!"

"System Daddy, can you please pay attention to me?"

As it turns out, not every time traveler comes with a system; at least Shen Ming'en didn't.

How should Shen Ming'en break out of this desperate situation?
It was a real headache. Shen Ming'en thought to himself that he might as well start a live stream and take advantage of the popularity to make one last big profit. After that, he could just settle down in his small county town.

But at that moment, my phone rang again.

Shen Ming'en picked it up and saw that it was still a Weibo message notification with nothing of substance, consisting of comments and likes from netizens.

That reply was quite interesting. One netizen asked if the predecessor wasn't afraid of being suppressed by capital for doing this.
In his frenzied state, the predecessor retorted with a single sentence:
"How many people are capitalists? How many are working-class people? This country does not belong to capitalists, it belongs to the people!"

Looking at this cringeworthy reply, Shen Ming'en smiled helplessly. He had intended to mock his predecessor's naiveté, but in that instant...

A flash of inspiration struck him!
"Yup!"

With wide eyes, Shen Ming'en sat up excitedly.

"There's always someone better, and no matter how powerful capital is, it won't dare to challenge the state!"

"If you've exhausted all avenues on small stages, there's still the Spring Festival Gala; if you've exhausted all avenues on satellite TV, there's still CCTV. As long as you're on the right track, why worry about not being able to make a living?!"

Singing ordinary songs will definitely get you eliminated. Jay Chou's "Sunny Day" and "Nocturne" will only be a flash in the pan, just a way to gain a little bit of popularity in the end.

But what if we sing revolutionary songs?
Should they drag the official back into the fray and eliminate him?
Those capitalists have to be bold enough!

Do you have powerful backers?
There's a state behind labor and management!
