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

Chapter 26: Roasted on a fire, what's the point of playing?
This episode of "Chinese Music Center" has a creative theme of "youth and campus," and it also allows singers to perform with each other. Since it is a theme that singers are good at, they can also invite other singers to form a group. Therefore, apart from Shen Ming'en and Yao Shuli, all the singers in this episode have given it their all.

Veteran love song queen Lu Anqing teamed up with Hong Kong music veteran Tsui Hark-chun, their voices, honed by years of experience, were captivating, making both performances exceptionally enjoyable for the audience.

Rock veteran Zheng Yun and internet celebrity folk singer Ji Cheng formed a team. The two styles, which should have discriminated against each other, broke through worldly prejudices and sparked different kinds of brilliance. The two performances were also applause-worthy.

The talented music creator Hua Zichen invited rapper Feng Yucan to help him. The combination of Hua Zichen's high notes and Feng Yucan's rap was absolutely electrifying.

Except for Yao Shuli, who didn't have time to sing with anyone due to being too busy with work and because her musical style was too difficult for others to handle, the other singers all "teamed up" and their performances were all dazzling. Every single one of their performances was far superior to those of the previous episodes. It's clear that...

"We have to eliminate that guy Harkin no matter what!"

Originally, this show was just like any other "rehashed" show in the Chinese entertainment industry. It used "originality" as a gimmick, but in reality, it invited singers to sing their own old songs that had been rejected for album releases. It was a show that was all show and no substance.

Those veterans, like Zheng Yun, the old green tea bitch, are basically just taking on jobs to make some money for retirement...

Once Shen Mingen sang that revolutionary song and got involved, the production team put pressure on everyone to create a theme in order to eliminate him, forcing everyone to "compete" with him. So these people definitely wanted to get rid of Shen Mingen as soon as possible and go back to their old, carefree retirement life.

The production team also "opened the back door" by having several singers perform in pairs. After the singers finished their duets, they arranged for several audience members to shout "not enough!" Then, they had three veteran singers, Lu Anqing, Xu Kequn, and Zheng Yun, and three young newcomers, Hua Zichen, Ji Cheng, and Feng Yucan, each form two teams and perform two more shows of 33, singing the kind of campus love songs that were very popular before.

The effect on set was absolutely amazing!
But occasionally, some people can't help but think...

Isn't this just a disguised form of vote-buying?

Shen Ming'en hasn't even made his debut yet, and these people have already performed so many shows?
They were in pairs and groups of three, singing their own songs while also campaigning for votes. So they're all just grudges against Shen Ming.
Some people said: "When Emperor Ming'en appeared, good heavens, the sky has collapsed!"

Some people said: "What's the point of playing this game? Just announce that my Hakeem is out of the game..."

It's one thing for them to target specific artists with assigned topics, and it's another for them to target specific singers with guest performances, but what's most disgusting is that they're now even using this to campaign for votes...

Everyone couldn't help but say: "You guys genuinely won with your 'strength'!"

The combined strength of five, six, seven, or eight times is enough to win against someone once.

You guys have no shame!
Backstage, the aloof goddess Yao Shuli frowned slightly as she watched this scene, and couldn't help but ask Shen Ming'en, "...Do you need me to sing a couple of lines for you?"

Actually, she had planned to sing a couple of lines for Shen Ming'en this week, but she was too busy and hadn't had the time.

Although it was an impromptu performance, all she had to do was open her mouth and sing a couple of lines of the chorus, which could be considered as indirectly garnering votes for Shen Ming'en.

"No need." Shen Ming'en smiled confidently: "You're already like this, if I still ask you to help me at the last minute, wouldn't that be too inhuman?"

With the changing seasons, it's that time of year again when people in the north wear whatever they want. Yesterday, the highest temperature was probably in the twenties, but today the lowest temperature could drop below zero. Such temperatures are unbearable, and Yao Shuli has also fallen victim to it. Shen Ming'en was worried that she would get a fever, so how could he possibly ask her to sing the chorus for him at the last minute?

Besides, his chorus needs a male voice to be performed perfectly.

"Ming'en, it's time to wait in the wings." A staff member called out, and Shen Ming'en greeted Yao Shuli before going to wait in the wings.

Watching Shen Mingen's tall figure, Yao Shuli frowned slightly, feeling a sudden sense of unease for some reason...

That's strange.

She and Shen Mingen were not related, so this feeling shouldn't exist.

……

"Oh!!!"

At the front desk. Perhaps because he had already been ignited by the passion of all the singers before him, Shen Ming'en could hear the enthusiastic shouts from the audience in the studio even before he took the stage.

"Okay, all the singers have finished their performances now, only the last singer hasn't performed yet..."

The host built up suspense on stage, a mystery everyone already knew, and only when someone in the audience called out Shen Ming'en's name did he follow suit:

"Now, let's welcome our final guest of the episode, Shen! Ming! En!"

"Oh!!!"

An even more intense cheer erupted from the audience.

However, at the same time, some people in the online live stream chat were also commenting:

Good heavens, are they putting someone on a hot plate like that?!

[Damn it, they deliberately put this in last place to make everyone have too high expectations for my Harkion, didn't they?]

[Tsk...this production team really knows how to play the game!]

……

"Clap clap..."

In the control room, Wei Zihan couldn't help but applaud Director Niu's "manipulation" in this episode.

To be honest, the idea of ​​"having Shen Ming'en make a grand finale appearance" is brilliant. Everyone knows that the "grand finale" is always the most anticipated performance in any situation. Generally speaking, who would dare to make a grand finale without some talent (except for Chun Chun)?
When so many singers have built up the atmosphere to a climax, if his performance isn't as amazing, the audience will feel a sense of disappointment and naturally won't vote for him.

In this episode, the production team made so many preparations for Shen Mingen, practically stacking up all sorts of "buffs." How could he possibly break through the encirclement?!

To put it bluntly, even if he could sing a patriotic song that fits the theme, he still might not be able to pass this round.

Two fists can't beat four hands; one person's strength is ultimately no match for too many people.

However, Wei Zihan still occasionally couldn't help but feel a bit obsessive-compulsive, thinking to himself, shouldn't the last one to appear be called the grand finale?
"Hehehe..."

Director Niu seemed completely at ease this time, sitting calmly to the side drinking tea, clearly indicating that he felt Shen Ming'en's elimination this episode was a foregone conclusion.

Okay...

The problem is finally solved.

He no longer has to worry about being pressured or tricked by those capitalists every day.

Finally, I was able to personally send away Shen Mingen, my living father!
At that moment, he probably never imagined...

Next, Shen Ming'en's rendition of "Ode to Young China" completely overwhelmed all the other singers present!
This song has nothing else...

It's so damn exciting!
