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

Chapter 9: Sticking your neck out or not, you'll still get stabbed!

"The underworld..."

"This is so gloomy..."

"You motherfucker, zero-frame start?!"

"grass!"

While the audience cheered continuously, Director Niu and others in the studio were frantically shouting the name of a plant.

no……

Hajime, you bastard...

What happened to the rule that in this tiebreaker round, as long as you didn't sing a patriotic song, you could sing anything and be eliminated?!
This was supposed to be a song for your fans, for people who like you, a song of gratitude to them?!
You were singing perfectly fine, and then suddenly the style changed, and you forcibly pulled the whole song back into the style of a "red song"? Are you serious?!
After all that build-up and build-up, you're telling me in the chorus that you're actually grateful to your country?!
Are you kidding us?!
Are you kidding us?!

Do we look that much like that silly BoI?!

Those viewers just now, because they thought Shen Mingen was about to be eliminated by them through shady means, were so angry they wanted to curse everyone in the production team and their parents!
And now you're telling me that even though you sang a patriotic song, the show still can't eliminate you...

Wouldn't our production team have been criticized for nothing?!
"You son of a bitch..." Wei Zihan was furious: "Don't stop me! Don't hold me back! I'm going down there and killing that bastard! He *&%￥#@..."

The kids were so angry they were yelling the car brand's name. They were so furious they were practically going crazy!
This really isn't because Wei Zihan is emotionally unstable...

Tell me, who could sit still when faced with something like this?!

Shen Mingen, this mentally ill madman, caused so many top celebrities to fall from grace overnight. Wei Zihan not only has personal grudges with Shen Mingen, but also bears the pressure of all the capital behind those fallen top celebrities!

Everyone's waiting for him to eliminate Shen Mingen from the "Chinese Music Awards" program, and then everyone will take the opportunity to boycott him!

Wei Zihan is already heavily influenced by Shen Mingen. If he can't even eliminate Shen Mingen on this show, do you think those investors won't put pressure on him and target him?

Just thinking about those "unjustified disasters" made Wei Zihan furious, and he really wished he could go down and kill Shen Ming'en right away!
"Stop him...stop him quickly!" Director Niu Zhi also looked troubled.

You know, this was such an easy thing to do, wasn't it?

Shen Mingen is a nobody in the entertainment industry, with no talent or ability. He was already at the bottom of the class on their show. Given this incident, it was a piece of cake for the production team to kick this piece of trash out of the show.

Who the hell wanted to come here?!

This dad just pulled out two revolutionary songs!

How are you expecting Niu Zhi to eliminate him?!
Do you think it's okay to forcibly eliminate him?

Ah, that works too!
The decision-making power has always been in their hands.

The problem is, if he eliminates Shen Mingen, given the show's current viewership, popularity, and buzz, it will definitely trend on social media and spark heated discussions among countless netizens.

If this causes a public opinion crisis and attracts the attention of higher authorities, then he and the entire production team could easily be subject to a thorough investigation!

Offending capital might just mean you can't survive, but offending the country is a real life-or-death situation!

"Director, what should we do?" A staff member in charge of counting online and offline votes asked Niu Zhi with a troubled look: "Shen Ming'en's votes are now crushing Ji Cheng's. Ji Cheng doesn't even have a fraction of his votes."

"..."

Director Niu didn't give an answer right away, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't know what to do!

If we don't eliminate Shen Ming'en now, we'll offend the capital; if we eliminate Shen Ming'en, we'll offend the country.

Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll get stabbed anyway; there's no choice at all!

And it's not just Shen Ming'en who's in trouble; Ji Cheng is in trouble too...

Ji Cheng's contract stipulates that he will have to record at least three more episodes before the show ends. This was just a last-minute addition for him. If Ji Cheng is eliminated now, his management team might bring up the contract.

This one...

This has really stumped the production team!

"Director Niu, why don't we take the risk and eliminate Shen Ming'en?" a director suggested. "The country won't really make trouble for us because of a minor celebrity." Everything started because of Shen Ming'en. This guy is a troublemaker, a cancer. If we eliminate him, at least the capital won't have any problems later.

There are always choices to be made.

"..."

However, Director Niu still has not responded to this.

At this point, Director Niu was no longer considering whether or not to eliminate Shen Ming'en...

The middle-aged director, who had been in the variety show industry for many years, frowned as he stared at Shen Ming'en, who was singing "I Love You, China" and expressing his "gratitude" for his motherland. His thoughts drifted away...

While everyone waited for Director Niu to make a decision, he gritted his teeth and said bluntly:
"Let's not eliminate him yet, let him pass this round first."

"What???"

Everyone present was stunned upon hearing this.

Even Wei Zihan, who was in the middle of a fit of madness, was stunned for a moment...

Then, everyone couldn't help but ask Director Niu:
"Director, so many investors are putting pressure on us!"

"If you don't eliminate him, we'll have problems too!"

"What if the sponsor's funding runs out?!"

……

Everyone understands that Director Niu had no choice but to choose "the country" over "capital," but if Shen Ming'en is not eliminated, there will definitely be pressure from capital, and they will not have an easy time either!

They definitely need to make these things clear and explicit!

Wei Zihan couldn't help but shake off the staff member's hand that was blocking him and shouted at Director Niu:

"Director Niu, I'm warning you, someone in your company has also been implicated by him. If he continues to stay on this show and continues to have exposure, your company will have to replace the director of the next variety show."

Director Niu also owns a company. These entertainment agencies in the Chinese entertainment industry are all intertwined with each other's interests. Not to mention whether other companies will put pressure on his company, even his own company will question him.

"You don't need to worry about that." Director Niu didn't even glance at Wei Zihan, thinking the man was an idiot.

"You!" Wei Zihan's face turned red with anger: "Fine, fine, we'll see..."

He was about to go back and tell his boyfriend, "Honey, say something!"
"Director, you..."

Wei Zihan left, but the staff at the scene were still trying to persuade Niu Zhi.

The brilliant strategist who previously advised Director Niu to add an extra match for Shen Ming'en is now trembling with fear, not daring to utter a single word.

His idea not only failed to solve the production team's immediate problem, but instead kicked them into another deep pit.

Fortunately, Director Niu did not pursue the matter further...

"Ugh……"

Looking at these people foolishly explaining the pros and cons to him, Director Niu was filled with disappointment and frustration. He silently sighed, rubbing his forehead, and said bluntly:
"This matter is probably not as simple as you think."

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback, exchanging bewildered glances, clearly not understanding what Director Niu meant...

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Director Niu said helplessly:
"You guys don't actually think that Shen Ming'en, a low-level, obscure singer, could have created two high-quality patriotic songs on his own, do you?"

As soon as this statement came out...

Everyone was stunned.

After a moment of thought, he widened his eyes and suddenly realized!

Suddenly I realized that what Director Niu said made perfect sense and was well-founded!
