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

Chapter 302, "The Nameless Man," a top-tier contemporary conspiracy!

"#ChineseStyle!#"

"#Shen Ming'en releases another catchy song!#"

"#Is this the true value of being a spokesperson for revolutionary songs?!#"

"#Spark Symphony Returns to Its Peak!#"

……

After the latest episode of "Sparkling Melody" aired, when Shen Ming'en finished singing "Chinese Style," related topics were already trending high on various platforms such as Douyin, Weibo, Zhihu, and Xiaohongshu.

No one was surprised by this, after all, Shen Mingen is known as a "trending topic magnet". Wherever he is, whenever he appears in public, it is almost impossible for him not to trend on social media.

He just casually had a meal offline and got spotted by someone, and he still made it to the trending topics. It's that exaggerated!

This is supposedly a "top-tier celebrity" who surpasses even the most popular celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry. Do you think this is a joke?
And naturally, no one will question what's trending this time, after all...

This time, Shen Mingen's performance was once again as expected as "normal"!

"Chinese Style" is a song that has been described as somewhat "rustic" and "brainwashing" on many platforms. It's a song that, while seemingly unrefined, actually contains many carefully crafted lyrics. However, when sung, it's a song that makes many young netizens feel quite "ashamed."

In December, when most parts of the country have entered winter, this lively and cheerful song has almost immediately taken over the playlists of countless netizens!

My crotch is on fire...

The "countless netizens" here mainly refer to middle-aged and elderly people in their thirties and fifties.

Just look at the trending topics and the comments section of the song "Chinese Style" to see how many people are spamming it like crazy:

This song feels like it'll be playing every Chinese New Year from now on...

Haha, this is really perfect for listening to during the Chinese New Year! It feels so festive!

[When this song plays, I feel like the streets and alleys are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.]

[Not only is it suitable for listening during the Chinese New Year, it's also extremely suitable for square dancing!]

[...Don't even mention it. Shen Ming'en just finished singing last night, and this morning I saw a bunch of old men jumping on him in the park near our neighborhood.]

【Huh?! That fast?!】

[...The music playing downstairs in my building changed this morning too, and I was wondering why it sounded so familiar.]

[@Shen Ming'en, you're now getting into the square dancing world?]

There must be a cunning person pulling the strings behind the scenes!

[Speak! Have you been possessed, Hajime?!]

……

It's funny, but the song "Chinese Style" is surprisingly popular among middle-aged and elderly people. In addition to being used as a "music changer" for square dancing, many netizens have reported that their elders have started playing this song. It's not uncommon for people to play this song at home, and some have even changed their phone ringtones to it!
It can be said!
This song is a perfect combination of "red song", "brainwashing", "addictive" and "nationally popular"!

This immediately sparked a wave of imitations!
Shen Mingen, now a "veteran" in the Chinese entertainment industry and an undisputed "king" figure, has so many "high-quality hit songs" and can still create trends from time to time. You can tell how enviable his "talent" is!

Amidst the envy, occasional complaints from the guests of the "Spark of Music" program circulated online. This episode's "popular" theme really messed them up. They frantically accused Shen Ming'en online of giving them special treatment by setting the theme himself, leaving everyone unable to "guess" the "deep meaning" of his theme. Then, when everyone tried to create songs based on their own understanding, none of them were as deep as his "understanding," and in the end, they were all "betrayed" by him...

【puff……】

【Hahaha……】

Many netizens found the whole thing both hilarious and absurd, with comments section flooded with:

[Laughable! So, after all this time, Harkin has also become a tool for evil!]

[Taking advantage of being the program's producer, they act recklessly, setting all sorts of questions that benefit themselves, and then making things difficult for others... Well done, 666!]

Did the dragon slayer ultimately become the dragon himself?

[Hakim: "I've gotten wet in the rain, so I'm going to tear other people's umbrellas to shreds!"]

[The Mandarin Music Promotion Center really didn't teach Hajime anything good!]

[The Mandarin Music Promotion Center exclaimed that they were experts, haha...]

[Chinese Music Promotion Center: Is there anything else I need to do?]

……

This whole thing started as just a few guests complaining. They didn't intend to cause any trouble; they just wanted to ride the wave of traffic. After all, recently, any topic or news related to Shen Mingen has been accompanied by traffic and popularity. In the age of internet information, no matter what kind of celebrity or internet celebrity, they all have to gravitate towards traffic. This is an unchanging iron law.

These guests who made the comments probably never expected that their "complaints" would actually go viral!

"#HakeemGives Himself a Backdoor!"

This news immediately went viral and sparked countless discussions!

The guests who made the comments clearly hadn't expected things to escalate this much, and for a moment they were genuinely a little uneasy...

It's not that they're afraid Shen Mingen or the production team will cause them trouble. After all, Shen Mingen and the "Spark Chapter" production team are known for being good people. They know they were joking and probably won't take it to heart.

The main concern is that they might be accused of "stirring up trouble" and then attacked by fans.

Shen Ming'en's fans span all age groups. The reason why those capitalists couldn't do anything to him during the "Chinese Music Awards" era was largely due to his fans' "fighting power."

As a result, one of the guests who was complaining specifically mentioned this matter to Feng Yucan, implying that they wanted to discuss with Feng Yucan how to resolve it...

When Feng Yucan heard about this, he grinned like a Corgi and said, "I think this could blow up even more!"

That bastard, he loves to stir up trouble. Because of Shen Ming'en's return in this episode of "Sparkling Melody," which caused a surge in viewership, he has tasted the sweetness of "marketing." As soon as a topic that could be hyped up appeared in front of him, he immediately seized the opportunity!
then……

This BYD immediately transformed into a strategist, offering advice to those who were stirring up trouble!
"Isn't this...not good?"

After hearing Feng Yucan's "plan", the guests were all trembling with fear.

"What are you afraid of?!" Feng Yucan waved his hand dismissively: "If anything goes wrong, I'll cover for you!"

Originally, those guests wouldn't dare to cause trouble; even if they had the guts, they wouldn't dare to stir up trouble for Shen Ming'en... But they couldn't resist Feng Yucan's instigation!
Considering Feng Yucan's relationship with Shen Ming'en, and the fact that he could practically represent most of the production team of "Spark Melody," and given that the whole thing was a "joke," these guests hesitated repeatedly...

In the end, he nodded and agreed!
They might have been a little hesitant when they agreed...

Once that little rhythm starts, it's incredibly energetic and dramatic!

One of the guests directly posted a video "accusing" Shen Ming'en, stating:
"I am formally accusing Shen Ming'en, one of the creators of 'Spark Melody,' of giving me preferential treatment. He created all the topics for each episode himself, tailor-made for him, and made us guess how to respond to the topics. This is blatant cheating and completely unfair. He is making a fool of us!"

"If you're so capable, Teacher Ming'en asked us to come up with a topic for an issue, and you can respond to it!"

With this guest taking the lead, the other guests also started to "follow suit." Those who weren't afraid of trouble posted videos, while those who were more timid or cowardly posted text updates. In any case, almost everyone followed suit and "set the trend"!

Recently, the song "Chinese Style" has become a viral hit, and news related to "Spark Chapter" and Shen Mingen has been popping up one after another, with the popularity remaining high. At this time, they took the initiative to bring up this new "topic", and this wave of "rhythm" was naturally set off!
Good heavens...

[An open declaration of war?!]

A large group of people in the comments section, just like Feng Yucan, who loved watching the drama unfold, immediately got excited and left their own comments:

That's great!

[They're fighting! They're fighting!]

I love watching these kinds of scenes, haha...

So you mean you think you can stump Shen Ming'en by giving him a problem to solve?

[Hakeem: This script looks...so familiar?]

[Pfft... How could this not look familiar? The same script has been playing out for so many episodes of "Chinese Music Awards"!]

[Laughing, back when "Chinese Music Awards" set topics ranging from opera-style singing and Cantonese to military themes, even the most hellishly difficult topics didn't stump Hajime. You guys don't really think your topics will be able to stump him, do you?]

[Shen Ming'en: I never expected that after all I've been through, someone would still give me a challenge...]

Hahahaha... Hee hee hee...

……

The audience was laughing and joking along, and to be honest, this was really hilarious, absolutely hilarious...

These guests are really something, what were they thinking, daring to give Shen Ming'en a set question...

To know!
Back in the days of "Chinese Music Awards", so many "topics" came up, some of them were hellishly difficult, but Shen Ming'en just faced them all head-on, wielding two watermelon knives and hacking his way from Nantianmen to Penglai East Road without even blinking!

Now things are great...

Now that he's making his own shows, no one's giving him "topics" anymore, so the guests are starting to stir things up, trying to "control" him through "topics."

At the time, a very funny comment in the comments section of a related trending topic said this:
You don't actually think that Yata Lane, who was stumped by dozens of challenges on "Chinese Music Awards," can be defeated by any challenge you throw at you, do you?

Some people say:

[He sets the questions, and you're not even in charge. You don't think that if you set the questions, you'd be in charge, do you?]

It's not that the audience looks down on them!

The main reason is that they are all too aware of how "terrifying" Hajime is!
Anyway...

This wave of controversy, while creating some buzz, didn't actually affect Shen Ming'en. Instead, many viewers said that the other guests had "brought shame upon themselves."

The comments section was filled with ridicule, all directed at the guests who were making sarcastic remarks!
Occasionally, people in the comments section will tag those guests who stir up trouble and ask them:
So what kind of topic do you want to propose?

They were very curious: back then, the "Chinese Music Awards" program had dozens of questions, and even the BYD Capital group racked their brains but couldn't come up with a topic that could stump Shen Ming'en. How could their fellow guests have come up with such a topic?
Those fellow guests certainly demonstrated through their actions that they were not to be trifled with...

Just as this wave of discussion was spreading and reaching its peak, the guest who initially "stirred up the storm" suddenly posted, saying:

"We'll see what makes a mule or a horse after we put it on the run. Our challenge is simple: this episode's theme is 'Popular.' If you're capable, sing a whole episode of popular songs. If you're capable, then we won't sing any more mainstream songs!"

As soon as these words came out...

Don’t say that!
Don't tell me!
Many of Shen Mingen's fans and those who were just watching the drama unfold were genuinely stunned for a moment!

To know!
As a recognized "representative of revolutionary songs," Shen Ming'en is seen by everyone as someone who excels at "revolutionary songs" and "mainstream style."

This has led to a misconception among many people that if Shen Ming'en doesn't write "red songs" or "mainstream style" songs, he will suffer a "Waterloo" because he is not good at other styles...

Therefore, at first, many fans and onlookers were genuinely stunned for a while.

But they quickly recovered and went back to mocking the other guests on the show who had started the trouble...

Why?

Besides the mainstream style, Shen Ming'en has also created works such as "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" and "Proud Youth," which are also very positive, but are basically not related to the "mainstream" style!
You want "popular" music, right?
It's not like he hasn't created works in the "popular" style, such as "Chinese Language," "Ode to Young China," and "The Lone Warrior"!
Putting aside other things, just take the recent performance by the "Silk Road Blossoms" troupe as an example. Shen Ming'en just gave us a performance of "Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots," which is a pop song and has nothing to do with the main theme, right?!

You don't really think that Shen Ming'en, who has created so many "popular" tunes, can't write a high-quality "pop song", do you?

Initially, the comments section was filled with mockery...

But as the laughter continued, suddenly this sound began to emerge:
I don't think Hakeem is necessarily a good candidate...

He might have run out of ideas and might not be able to handle it!

[Maybe he really wasn't good at pop music, which is why he wrote so many hit songs!]

【Yes! That must be it!】

Many viewers burst out laughing when they saw these comments...

In other words, they know exactly what these people are thinking, even if they were to do it themselves!
Isn't it just that they want Shen Ming'en to sing a "pop" style song?
This is the pinnacle of modern-day open strategy!
"A trendy style?" Shen Ming'en, who had been paying attention to the news online during his spare time, couldn't help but smile. "Things are starting to get interesting..."

Looking out the window, Shen Ming'en noticed that snowflakes had started to fall. With the year-end approaching, everyone was getting busy. Shen Ming'en felt that it was indeed time to write a song called "The Nameless Man" for those nameless people.
