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

Chapter 5: The Eloquent Tenor, his buffs are fully stacked!
"Don't...don't panic!"

Director Niu Zhi is a steady person. Although the confident smile on his face has disappeared, he's not as bewildered as the others...

He said, "This kind of song is not something an ordinary person can write. We know his skill level. He definitely can't write this kind of song!"

Generally speaking, composing revolutionary songs is much more difficult than composing most popular songs.

It not only needs to be grand and majestic in terms of melody, with national characteristics and a clear and powerful rhythm, but also needs to be closely aligned with the times and mainstream values.

If the story depicts a heroic figure, it is also necessary to highlight the character and his deeds.

The requirements for emotional expression are even higher. Creators must first have a deep understanding and sincere feelings about red culture and revolutionary history. Secondly, the emotions they convey must be optimistic and inspiring, igniting people's patriotism and motivation to strive.

To some extent, even opera singing cannot compare with the difficulty of creating revolutionary songs.

Their show, "Chinese Music Center," is a yearly variety show that airs every week. Shen Ming'en has been involved for five or six episodes already, and the production team knows his level all too well!

Even without this incident, he would have been eliminated soon anyway.

With his skill level, how could he possibly write a good revolutionary song?!

Perhaps, indeed, the lyrics he just sang had a certain flavor, but neither the director Niu Zhi nor the rest of the directing team believed that Shen Ming'en could write and sing this song well!
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Beside him, Wei Zihan had already stood up, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, staring resentfully at Shen Mingen on the stage.

He didn't speak or express any opinion, but his resentment and unease were already evident!
at this time……

Shen Ming'en continued performing on stage.

"Dong dong..."

The piano melody is simple, but very grand. Shen Ming'en's fingering and strength are just right, making the melody blend with his voice. A grand and majestic sense of national pride comes to the fore with his voice!

He sang:

……

"I sing of every high mountain~"

"I sing of every river~"

"Wisps of smoke rising from chimneys, a small village, a rut on the road~"

……

The simple lyrics, once sung, immediately changed the director Niu Zhi's expression.

These few lyrics, though lacking ornate language, evoke a sense of warmth and familiarity with one's hometown through their exquisite melody and composition.

Especially the words "cooking smoke"...

In the past, cooking smoke symbolized the direction of home. When travelers who had been away from home for many years returned and saw cooking smoke, it meant they had arrived home. It was a sense of belonging and a sense of security that made people feel comfortable and at ease.

Home and country, home and country, this is the right emotion that a revolutionary song should convey!
Upon hearing these lyrics, Director Niu could already picture it in his mind. He could almost imagine what kind of "reading comprehension" these lyrics would be used by teachers if they were used as music or language textbooks!

Teacher: "The whole lyric gives people a sense of tranquility and peace, conveying a love and attachment to one's hometown and life!"

This is this...

Shen Mingen, how could he write such a good song?!

This is totally unreasonable!
It's worth mentioning that Wei Zihan, standing to the side, had the exact opposite expression from Director Niu. When he heard these lyrics, he actually scoffed and said:
"What kind of lyrics are those? They're so rustic, full of villages and roads. He really can't handle this kind of song."

Director Niu: "(￢_￢) Aim"

If it weren't for saving face, Director Niu would have loved to breathe a mouthful of atomic energy into Wei Zihan's mouth right now.

This person has absolutely no taste; they can't appreciate the true emotions behind this song at all!

"I said……"

Director Niu originally wanted to remind Wei Zihan not to say such laughable things, which would only make the others present scoff...

But just then, the director next to him suddenly shouted, "What is he doing?"

The people around me were all talking at once...

"Why did you stop singing?"

"What's going on?" "He's not playing the piano either, why is that?"

"Why did you stand up?"

The sound caught the attention of Director Niu and Wei Zihan. When they turned around, they realized that Shen Ming'en on stage had stopped singing at some point...

He was singing really well, and a strong sense of national pride was rising within him, when suddenly he stopped singing, catching everyone off guard.

"Can't keep making this up anymore?" Wei Zihan said from the side.

This time, Director Niu didn't refute it, and the others didn't say anything either, because Shen Ming'en's way of eating sparrows was a bit like not finishing a song and not being able to continue writing the rest.

"Phew..." Director Niu couldn't help but silently breathe a sigh of relief.

If that's really the case, then he should feel really fortunate. After all, this elimination of Shen Ming'en wasn't just the intention of the capital behind Wei Zihan; many large companies in the Chinese entertainment industry were putting pressure on him...

If Shen Ming'en's rendition of this patriotic song is of high quality, then the production team will really have to think carefully before eliminating him.

But now, it's obvious that this kid can't keep up the lie, so eliminating him is just a natural consequence.

It's worth mentioning that Shen Ming'en abruptly ended his performance without playing or singing, and when he stood up, the audience was somewhat puzzled...

Why did they suddenly stop singing?

Sing! Keep going!

"Keep singing, no one will dare to eliminate you, bro!"

Various cheers and shouts could be heard from the scene...

He was singing perfectly fine, then suddenly stopped, stood up and walked towards the audience without even taking the microphone. What's going on?
I was really enjoying listening to it!

Backstage, a group of singers, including his friend Feng Yucan and Yao Shuli whom he had just met on stage, all looked puzzled.

Outsiders don't understand why Shen Ming'en's face on stage and in front of the camera is not flustered at all, but rather very calm.

"Cough cough..."

He cleared his throat, adjusted the vocal structure in his throat, and then straightened his back and raised his proud head!
The handsome, youthful face captured by the camera seemed to gleam with a hint of brilliance.

It may seem a bit flamboyant, but the moment he opened his mouth to sing, everyone felt a solemn, dignified, and profound sense of national pride!

Shen Ming'en sang in a very loud and clear bel canto tenor voice!

……

My dearest motherland~

"I will always stay close to your heart."

"Use your mother's pulse~"

Tell me your story.

……

No microphone used!

Shen Ming'en didn't use a microphone!
When the song "Me and My Motherland" reached its chorus, he directly abandoned the microphone and accompaniment, and used bel canto singing techniques to sing a cappella, using his loudest voice to perform this very solemn and dignified part!
"Fuck..."

Everyone present!

Whether it was the audience, the directors in the studio, or all the singers backstage, everyone felt a profound sense of awe!
Almost everyone got goosebumps without even realizing it!
Even Luo Luo, Yao Shuli's assistant who had previously looked down on Shen Ming'en, looked down at her arms and found that they were covered in goosebumps!
You can't possibly finish a pot of chicken skin soup!

That's amazing!
At this moment, Shen Ming'en brought a small Chinese-style shock to everyone on the "Chinese Music Awards" program, including the audience!

Bel canto tenor, revolutionary songs...

The buffs are practically maxed out!

With this kind of show's quality, which production company would dare to eliminate him?!
