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

Chapter 139: Full of heroic spirit, standing atop the stars!
Who sang the chorus of "Beijing Welcomes You"?

Inside the tea room, the chubby Mr. Ma looked curiously at Ms. Liu, who was dressed in a suit. Their company had some connections in the Olympics, so they were quite well-informed about related matters.

"I'm not sure, they've done a great job keeping it a secret," Mr. Liu said helplessly. "It's said that she's a talented singer personally handpicked by the songwriter, Mr. Shen Jichou."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look...

The lineup that appeared so far was already quite impressive, basically all of them were top-tier stars. If that teacher didn't even think much of these people, what kind of singer could be chosen by that teacher?
Not far away, the white-haired CEO, Mr. Li, laughed and joked, "It can't be Shen Ming'en, can it?"

The words fell...

"puff……"

"Hahaha……"

"Mr. Li, you really are something!"

Inside the meeting room, everyone was laughing and joking. Even Lin Bei was amused. Clearly, everyone knew that President Li was just teasing, and no one really thought that this person could be Shen Ming'en.

Just then, the performance of "Beijing Welcomes You" on the screen finally entered the chorus after the two verses in section a.

"They're here, they're here..." President Qin reminded him.

All eyes turned to the screen.

And when their gaze swept across the screen, to the figure that suddenly appeared atop the Great Wall, "with his back to all living beings," after all the build-up in the verses...

"..."

All the laughter abruptly stopped.

Inside the tea room, the expressions on the faces of President Qin, President Liu, President Ma, President Li, and Lin Bei all froze at that moment, as if time had stood still for a split second.

But then...

You'll find that their originally different expressions gradually begin to become the same.

Their pupils began to contract simultaneously, their eyes widened suddenly, and whether they had opened their mouths or not, they all opened their mouths at the same time, revealing an expression that could only be described as "incredulous"!

no……

no!
That figure standing on the Great Wall looks so much like...

Shen! Ming! En! Ne!
Damn you!
Yes, they look alike!

It's so damn similar!

Although it was just a back view, these people were so familiar with Shen Mingen that they dreamed about him every night because they were bothered by him all the time. So even from his back, they could easily recognize him!
Shen Mingen's appearance is naturally very handsome, dashing, and sunny. His head-neck ratio is very good. It's not that he has any special features, but he gives people a very special feeling. He has the feeling of "a sword drawn from its sheath". When he stands on the Great Wall and looks at the magnificent rivers and mountains of the motherland, he truly interprets the four words "full of heroic spirit" to the extreme!
At that moment, it wasn't just this itchy-nosed rabble who recognized Shen Ming'en!

【…】

In the adjacent online live stream, the tens of millions of viewers watching the program at the same time were also stunned when they saw Shen Ming'en's back appear on the screen, and the barrage went silent for a while.

Please note that this is not due to a system malfunction, but rather because there are too many people, it is too unexpected, and it is too shocking!

Don't believe me? Just wait and see.

A second or two later, the comments section was flooded with messages:

No...no, that's not it!

[Why does this person look so familiar?!]

[Wasn't it said that the chorus of "Beijing Welcomes You" was handpicked by that songwriter?!]

This looks a bit like... my brother!

[Damn, I'd recognize him even if he were ashes, that's definitely my brother!!!]

[Damn it, Shen Ming'en, you've been hiding this well!]

[Shen Ming'en: Is it possible that I wasn't hiding it at all, and that I told everyone I met?]

[Hakim: I told you, but you didn't believe me. Who's to blame?!]

……

Shock!

accident!

Surprise!

Shen Ming'en demonstrated to everyone with his actions what it meant to scream like a madman and be utterly surprised!

When everyone thought he had absolutely not participated in any Olympic-related activities, and when everyone had already forgotten about him during the live recording of the "Beijing Welcomes You" MV, that man, dressed in white, stood atop the heads of numerous superstars, at the pinnacle of the stars!
King's return!
At that moment, the sheer excitement alone filled everyone's hearts!
At that moment, countless viewers and fans were so excited and thrilled that they got goosebumps all over their bodies!

Honestly, back then, there were still a lot of trolls in the live stream who were unconvinced...

Many haters are saying, "How did you recognize Shen Ming'en just from his back?"

That's bullshit, isn't it?

Are you bragging?

What right does Hajime have to sing the chorus of "Beijing Welcomes You"?
Does he deserve it?!

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Ah!
To the utter bewilderment of these trolls who had been showing their true colors, their bowl of Cao's rice bowl hadn't even been poured over yet, their slanderous words hadn't even been uttered, and they'd only just begun typing...

In the picture!
The man standing atop the Great Wall opened his arms, clenched his fists, and sang loudly:

……

"Welcome to Beijing!"

"To create a new world for you!"

……

As the performance began, the camera switched to the front!

That man with the five-star red flag printed on his chest, that man with a highly recognizable appearance, that man who is "famous" across half the sky!
Who else could it be but Shen Ming'en!

【oh!!!!!】

【Ah ah ah ah ah! ! ! 】

that moment!
The live stream chat exploded with comments!

[Your mom! Your mom! Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!]

No, it really is you!

[Shen Ming'en, you little brat! You little brat!]

[Hahahaha, that's awesome! That's fucking awesome!]

Who said I was wearing a fake brother outfit? Come on, let's go out and have a look!

[Shen Ming'en: You all didn't have faith in me, but I proved you wrong!]

You think Thunder Yatalia is joking with you?!

It's him! It's him! It's definitely him! Our friend, Shen Ming'en!

[He's higher than the sky when he flies, and bigger than the sea when he dives into the business world. He outwits capital and bravely conquers the Chinese entertainment industry—the young hero Shen Ming'en!]

[How does the original version go again?]

[Haha, who said my brother wasn't qualified to participate in Olympic-related activities? Not only did he participate, but he was the most eye-catching one!]

[Pfft... Now I know why Zhou Chujian had that expression earlier. He probably only found out when he got there that Shen Ming'en was the one leading the chorus, hahaha...]

[Shen Ming'en: What's that under my feet? Oh, pebbles!]

【Aaaaaaah! Damn, why am I so excited?!】

……

Blasted!

Completely exploded!

The moment Shen Mingen appeared at the live recording of the music video for "Beijing Welcomes You," the tens of millions of viewers watching the show online at the same time practically went wild.

According to unreliable statistics, within just one or two seconds of Shen Mingen appearing on screen, tens of millions of comments were posted simultaneously!

If it weren't for the fact that the official events use very high-capacity servers, they would probably have been completely overwhelmed!

Exaggeration?
No!

As one of the most sought-after celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry today, averaging dozens of trending topics a week, Shen Ming'en's inherent popularity far surpasses that of those washed-up superstars who rely on their past fame, not to mention the fact that his appearance today was so...

unexpected!

Yes!
Sparrows are eating it!
Before the performance, Shen Ming'en claimed on various occasions that he came to Beijing to participate in Olympic-related activities and that he wrote all three Olympic theme songs. However, such claims seemed far-fetched, and coupled with various online "official denials," not only did few people believe Shen Ming'en, but...

Instead, a bunch of people followed suit and smeared Shen Ming'en, saying he was pretentious and bragging!

Given that Shen Mingen's feud with Zhou Chujian is no secret, and with this whole situation being blown out of proportion, nobody really thinks he'll show up at any Olympic-related event, especially at the live recording of the "Beijing Welcomes You" music video!
But the fact is...

Shen Ming'en not only appeared, but also "parachuted" into the chorus of "Beijing Welcomes You," a song that brings together all the big and small kings and queens of the Chinese entertainment industry, a lineup that can be described as a "super galactic battleship"!

To know!
The chorus of this level of work is usually sung by the most representative and influential singers in the Chinese entertainment industry!
Back when "Beijing Welcomes You" announced its tentative guest list, seeing so many superstars, everyone was already discussing who was qualified to sing the chorus...

At that time, no one could reach a conclusion because these superstars were basically at the top of the Chinese music scene. No matter who sang the chorus, someone would say that he was not worthy, and other fans would be unhappy.

This discussion even continued right before the chorus of "Beijing Welcomes You" was performed.

Some fans of superstars were already prepared to angrily criticize anyone who came out to sing the chorus as soon as they saw their favorite singer, Jie Jie, appear on stage and were certain that they wouldn't sing the chorus.

But the moment Shen Ming'en's face appeared on the camera...

All the laughter, joking, and cursing came to an abrupt halt!

Various voices that were about to angrily criticize him for being "unworthy of his position" were swallowed back by them!

Why?

Just because!

With his strength, reputation, and image, Shen Ming'en stands in this position, above all the top stars, at the pinnacle of the stars!
He is currently the most popular male singer in the Chinese entertainment industry, known as "at the height of his career," and has countless representative works, most of which are patriotic songs praising the motherland, making him a representative of patriotic songs that have become incredibly popular!
"Red Song Hermit Shen Ming'en," you think this is a joke?
At this moment, Shen Ming'en's appearance was almost like dropping a drop of water into a boiling oil pan, instantly igniting the entire pan!
The audience was still so shocked and so excited...

Needless to say, the rabble watching the performance in the teahouse next door was also a different story!

"..."

When Shen Ming'en's back appeared on the screen, they had already entered a "frozen" state.

And the moment Shen Ming'en's face appeared on the big screen...

"Pfft..." "Pfft!!!"

"Cough cough cough..."

The group of people who were enjoying their tea, whose noses were itchy, took one sip after another, and without prior arrangement, they all entered a "tea-spraying state"!
Every single one of them was completely baffled!

"Lin...cough cough...Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin!" The fat Mr. Ma coughed as he tried to clear the water from his throat, then grimaced and shouted at Lin Bei beside him, "Didn't you say that Shen...cough cough...Shen Ming'en didn't...didn't participate in any Olympic-related activities?!"

"Well... cough cough... that's right!" The white-haired CEO, Mr. Li, couldn't help but complain, shouting, "What the hell... what the hell is going on?!"

"How the hell should I know?!" Lin Bei choked on his tea, which was spilling from his nose. He wiped it with his teacup while gritting his teeth and shouting at the female CEO in the suit next to him, "CEO Liu, Zhou Chujian... wasn't he kicked out of the competition? What the hell is going on?!"

"You're asking me? I'm asking you... cough cough... who are you asking your mother for?!" The woman in the suit, Ms. Liu, also looked completely exasperated.

At this moment, President Liu gritted his teeth, finally understanding why Zhou Chujian had such a strange and awkward expression during the recording in such an important setting...

It's possible that he never expected Shen Ming'en to "parachute" onto the Great Wall to sing the chorus of "Beijing Welcomes You"!

It's possible that Shen Ming'en was standing right across from him, looking at him with a mocking and sarcastic expression...

It ruined his mental state!

And if even Zhou Chujian didn't expect this...

How could she have received the news in advance?

No, no!

You've kept your itchy nose a secret so well!
They found out the moment Shen Ming'en's face appeared on the screen on the day of the performance, just like the audience!

They didn't even get any advance notice!
That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous!

It's funny, actually...

President Liu racked her brains trying to figure out how Shen Ming'en had ended up there. Frustrated and annoyed, and knowing everyone was putting pressure on her, she desperately wanted to shift the blame. So, she pointed at the white-haired man, President Li, not far away and shouted:
"It's all your fault!"

"What did you just say about his mother, Shen Ming'en?!"

"You jinx! It's all your fault!"

Mr. Li: "???"

Mr. Li was thinking, "What the hell did I do?"

"I was just saying it offhand!" President Li pointed at President Qin, who hadn't spoken yet, and shouted, "President Qin also said before that a solo performance and a piece for the opening ceremony might be by Shen Ming'en. Wasn't that just a casual remark? Could it possibly come true?!"

President Qin: "???"

How the hell is this getting involved with me again?!
Because it was so unexpected, and because he hadn't received any prior notice, President Qin was actually quite flustered and didn't know how to respond...

What Mr. Li said completely stunned him!
"...Mr. Li, are you saying that I'm also prone to making bad predictions like you, and that Shen Ming'en might actually be the one to sing all three Olympic songs???" Mr. Qin asked through gritted teeth.

"I...I didn't mean that!" Mr. Li immediately deflated and waved his hands repeatedly.

Although he didn't mean it that way, once the topic was brought up...

That would really be a difficult situation to resolve!

"...The last two theme songs are both solos. Could it be that he really sang them, as he said?!" Fatty Ma asked, his lips twitching.

"How can it be!"

Ms. Liu, the woman in the suit, waved her hands repeatedly, indicating:

"We've basically confirmed the singers for those two songs, how could it be him!"

"You said it was impossible before the recording of 'Beijing Welcomes You'!" Mr. Ma retorted.

"I..." President Liu was speechless for a moment.

"..."

The tea room fell silent once again.

At that moment, the expressions on the faces of those with itchy noses no longer showed any trace of "happiness".

At this moment, they were filled with worry...

They knew all too well what it would mean if Shen Ming'en wrote all three Olympic theme songs.

This means that this kid might have gotten in touch with the authorities!
This means that Shen Mingen's position in the Chinese entertainment industry will be firmly unshakable!
This also means that from now on, Shen Ming'en will be able to completely disregard any capital!

Let alone whether he can be eliminated in "Chinese Music Awards" or "Singer Challenge", even if he is eliminated, it may be difficult to stop him.

None of them could bear such consequences!
"No...it shouldn't be..."

When President Qin opened his mouth, he stammered a little, which was unusual for him. He began to say:

"The singer of the chorus of this song was handpicked by the composer, Teacher Shen. It's possible that Shen Ming'en knows that teacher. Let's not even talk about the other two songs not being written by this teacher. Even if he did write them, he wouldn't have the right to designate the singers."

These words sounded like words of comfort, but they did have some effect...

What President Qin said about the "sparrow's meal" is correct. No matter how important "Beijing Welcomes You" is, it is still a song performed by a group of stars, with each person singing only one line. Even if the composer, Teacher Shen, has a powerful background and great talent, it would be quite good if he could get Shen Ming'en a chance to sing the chorus...

The other two songs weren't written by him either. Even if someone has all the connections and influence, it's impossible for them to be parachuted in to perform them, right?
There are plenty of people more qualified and experienced than him!

It couldn't possibly be his!

Besides, they already basically knew the exact singer...

It can't be Shen Ming'en, absolutely not!

This time, they made a mistake; they were tricked by Shen Ming'en. But that doesn't mean they will keep making mistakes!
It's just a snippet from the chorus of "Beijing Welcomes You," it doesn't mean anything!

"President Qin is right." Lin Bei also reassured everyone at this moment, saying, "There's no need to be so pessimistic. The organizing committee won't allow one person to handle all the entries."

"Um……"

The two men's words did somewhat calm the morale of the troops.

But I don't know why...

Even President Qin and Lin Bei, who offered words of comfort, were actually somewhat uneasy.

Shen Ming'en, this guy is so unexpected!

No...

We need to find out more information!
……

The recording of "Beijing Welcomes You" was high-energy from beginning to end, as there were a total of 88 celebrity guests from different locations in Beijing who participated in the MV recording and singing!

Moreover, almost all of them are superstars, some of whom are even internationally renowned bel canto singers!
With such a "super galactic battleship" lineup, viewers really didn't want to miss a single moment and watched it from beginning to end!

The quality of this song is truly amazing!

But after listening to the whole song, if we were to ask which artist left the deepest impression on the audience...

Without a doubt, it must be Shen Ming'en!
Almost immediately after the performance ended, major platforms such as Douyin, Weibo, Xiaohongshu, Zhihu, etc., were once again dominated by "Emperor Ming'en"!
"#Live stream recording of the 'Beijing Welcomes You' music video!#"

"#Shen Ming'en makes a surprise appearance on 'Beijing Welcomes You' to sing the chorus!#"

"#Shen Ming'en, you've been hiding your true colors!"

#Shen Ming'en: I told you, I've told you so many times, why doesn't anyone believe me!#

"#Zhou Chujian's expression, pfft...#"

……

It's so lively!
It's really lively!

Shen Mingen truly deserves the title of "trending topic magnet." Wherever he appears, no matter where he is or what he does, he almost always trends on social media.

And every time a topic trends on social media, no one can really question it.

Take this time for example...

Prior to this, there was no news at all. Even the list of performers for the countdown promotional theme song "Beijing Welcomes You" released by the Olympic Organizing Committee did not include Shen Ming'en's name. Everyone was so focused on watching the performance that they forgot about Shen Ming'en...

In this particular situation!

Shen Ming'en made a surprise appearance atop the Great Wall, leading all the stars in singing the chorus!

God knows how shocked and excited the audience was when he appeared on screen!

The comments section was also incredibly lively, with everyone posting:
[OMG, you guys who were there have no idea how electrifying Shen Mingen's appearance was!]

[Oh my god, I was so excited I jumped up and down! My wife didn't jump, so I slapped her twice to make her jump with me!]

【That's nothing! My dog ​​didn't jump, and I was so angry I broke one of its legs and made it jump after me!】

[Dog: I may not be human, but you really are a dog!]

[Haha... Now I know why Zhou Chujian had that expression, it's hilarious!]

Zhou Chujian probably never imagined that my brother would be standing on top of him singing the chorus!

[Hahaha... How could such a popular song not have a part in it?]

[This is a real slap in the face! It really puts a lot of people to shame. Where are those who didn't believe my brother was involved in the Olympics? Open your mouths! Keep your mouths shut!]

I'm really looking forward to the next two theme songs; Shen Ming'en seems to have said he sings them...

Ahhh! If that's really the case, then I'm really looking forward to it!

……

Many commenters, who felt that Shen Ming'en would definitely keep his word since he sang the chorus of "Beijing Welcomes You," are now looking forward to seeing if he will also sing the next two theme songs.

But those little bastards who were humiliated before and didn't dare to show their faces are now revealing their true colors again...

They were saying:

[Ha~ Don't be ridiculous. He should be grateful for the honor of singing the chorus of "Beijing Welcomes You," not expect him to sing it all the time.]

[The identities of those two songs have been basically revealed; there's no way they could be Hacken's!]

Some fans are really delusional, tsk tsk tsk~

……

The fans didn't even bother to refute their comments.

After all, before the official recording of the "Beijing Welcomes You" music video, they also said that Shen Ming'en was not included.

The results of it?
As a result, Shen Ming'en made a surprise appearance at the top of the Great Wall, above a constellation of stars, to sing the chorus!
As for whether the other two songs are his, we can only wait and see!
