Becoming a great entertainer started with being cyberbullied.

The audience all stood up excitedly and applauded enthusiastically.

This is so inspiring! They've become fans of Fang Ruoxi's song! Only by clapping their hands loudly can they release the emotions surging in their chests.

Fang Ruoxi wanted to express her gratitude, but she put the microphone down several times because of the thunderous applause.

Pop diva Chen Hong was too overwhelmed by the thunderous applause to begin her commentary segment.

Photographer #6 rotated the lens, capturing the audience's reactions at that moment.

The applause didn't stop for 30 seconds.

Fang Ruoxi could only clasp her hands together in thanks.

The applause didn't diminish for 60 seconds.

Fang Ruoxi looked at the audience who had all stood up, and her eyes welled up with tears.

180 seconds passed, and the applause was thunderous and never stopped.

"Thank you, thank you." Fang Ruoxi bowed deeply to the audience.

She ignited the entire audience with her superb performance, and now the audience is repaying her with enthusiastic applause.

Photographer #3 zoomed in and captured the glistening tears in Fang Ruoxi's eyes.

Retracing her artistic journey, Fang Ruoxi thought she would be able to calmly face whatever she encountered.

But today, on this stage, she poured her burning emotions into a song, igniting the entire audience.

At this moment, the audience, ignited by her passion, expressed their love for her with thunderous applause.

"Thank you all for your support, really, thank you so much."

Fang Ruoxi's heart was melting from this burning affection, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

The audience was so eager to hear her speak that the applause finally subsided.

Chen Hong then had a chance to speak, "Logically speaking, I should have commented on this part."

"You're completely unpredictable, not giving me a chance to comment!" Chen Hong deliberately slammed her hand on the table.

She really admired this girl!

"Hahaha—" The audience was amused by Chen Hong.

The new judge, Chen Lei, has a great sense of humor and tearfully complained to the camera, "Director, when you brought me to our show, you didn't say my level was this high!"

"If you told me, I wouldn't dare to come. With the students at this level, my goodness, only superstars deserve to sit on the judging panel."

The other judges were amused.

They were also stumped, unsure how to comment.

Giving random advice is definitely not an option. This is an official music station, and many experts are watching it; they wouldn't dare to give random advice.

Han Feifei, whose career has already faded, serves as a cautionary tale.

Fang Ruoxi was amused by the two judges. "No, it's Teacher Chen Hong and Teacher Chen Lei who are exaggerating."

Chen Hong asked, "I haven't heard this song before. Don't tell me you wrote the lyrics and composed the music yourself?"

At this moment, Fang Ruoxi's emotions calmed down, like a sword sheathed.

She said gently, "Yes, it's a new song. Please give me your feedback."

Chen Hong pointed at Fang Ruoxi and said to Chen Lei beside her, "What do you call her?"

Chen Lei reacted incredibly quickly, "One-stop service, not giving anyone else a chance to make a single penny off her!"

Chen Hong was amused by Chen Lei and burst into laughter.

Lin Yu, the male judge on Chen Lei's other side, said, "Are all the younger generation this competitive these days? I was just secretly thinking again, maybe I should retire."

Lin Yu is a second-tier singer, 36 years old, and an artist under the Wei-Style label.

He currently has a very popular song, and if he can achieve a top-tier ranking in the monthly hot song charts twice more before the end of this year, he will be able to join the ranks of first-tier artists.

"Brother Lin, I'm quite ambitious. I don't want to retire. What I'm thinking about is whether we can arrange a song together," Chen Lei said, half joking and half serious.

"Talented woman, look at me, think about it, let's sing a song together!"

Fang Ruoxi smiled and nodded, "Okay, no problem."

"Ah! Can I make an appointment for the second?" Lin Yu asked hurriedly.

Judge Yang Lin, who was sitting next to Lin Yu, chimed in, "Then I'll be number three."

The last judge smiled but didn't say anything.

Slow to react, Chen Hong's eyes widened, and she blurted out in a thick Beijing accent, "Wait! No! You guys are being too sneaky! I'm already number four in line??"

The judges joked around, showcasing their comedic talent.

Fang Ruoxi thought it was just a joke and didn't take it seriously.

The host, seeing that it was about time, went on stage to prepare for the transition, but unexpectedly, pop diva Chen Hong spoke up again.

"I listened to your song 'The Lone Warrior'."

Fang Ruoxi was taken aback, completely unprepared for Chen Hong to bring up this song at this moment.

Many veteran music critics have written that the rhythm of "The Lone Warrior" has been taken to a whole new level, and even the fans who genuinely liked the song have had it deleted by online trolls.

Passersby, upon seeing this reputation, were immediately deterred and kept their distance.

After a few days, its ranking on the monthly hot song chart has dropped to ninth, and the ranking is still declining.

The "Big Three" consider the monthly hot song chart theirs for the taking.

They'll reward those who obediently submit and fawn over them with a sip of meat soup, depending on their mood.

Those who disobey them will be hanged on the gallows, so that everyone will see the consequences of disobedience.

Feudal society has been dead for hundreds of years, but the three entertainment giants are playing the game of 'joint liability' in modern times.

You, Zhou Wen, dare to use someone we've jointly sidelined?

Okay, then we'll sabotage your show.

Do you, Li Ming, dare to sing the songs she wrote?

Fine, then you can forget about your reputation as a superstar.

Those in the entertainment industry can see clearly whether "The Lone Warrior" is good or not. Anyone in the know understands that it's a great song! It deserves to be number one on the charts!

but!

You should interview them and ask: Is "The Lone Warrior" a good song?

They would righteously reply: This is a vulgar, obsequious song. This kind of song absolutely cannot be on the monthly hot song chart, otherwise, the Mandarin music scene is doomed.

At this moment, Chen Hong mentioned this song.

Wu Jian coughed, "Teacher Chen, there's still one contestant after us, shouldn't we..."

Chen Hong said, "I'll just say a few words, it won't take long."

Wu Jian added, "If you have anything to say, talk to Xiao Fang privately after the show is finished. Let's not delay the contestants later."

Chen Hong frowned slightly. "No, I would have said everything if you hadn't said these few words."

Wu Jian: "..."

He smiled and gestured for him to enter.

Chen Hong looked at Fang Ruoxi and said, "I like your 'The Lone Warrior'."

"What exactly is music art? Some say classical music is art, some say opera is art, and some say that music art is what can be performed at the Golden Hall."

"According to this logic, the monthly hot song chart is all garbage."

The audience burst into laughter.

After laughing, they fell into thought because of Chen Hong's retort.

"What is a 'Hot Songs Chart'? Why isn't it called a 'Music and Art Chart'? Why isn't it called a 'Symphony Music Chart'?"

"May I ask, what does Fang Ruoxi's 'The Lone Warrior' say? Does it incite people to indulge in drinking, gambling, and prostitution? Or does it provide negative guidance to minors?"

"There are some people, to put it bluntly, don't flip the table just because the cake was touched, okay? You guys..."

As soon as I said that, the audience erupted in cheers.

Wow! This Chen Tianhou is so good at roasting people!

This is juicy!

The overwhelming criticism of "The Lone Warrior" online was apparently because it threatened someone else's interests?

When Chen Hong confronted Wu Jian, the audience members all took out their phones and started recording her.

Anyway, that's all I have to say. The audience might be fooled for a while, but they won't be fooled forever.

After hearing these words, Fang Ruoxi said nothing.

He bowed deeply to Chen Hong.

It's gratitude, gratitude that she risked offending the "Big Three" by publicly speaking up for her song.

It is also out of respect, respect for her character as an artist.

Chen Hong clasped her hands together and bowed to Fang Ruoxi, saying, "Hey, I can't accept such a big bow from you. You've already bowed to me twice after you finished singing. If you do one more, we can make three and send me off."

The audience burst into laughter, mixed with thunderous applause.

Behind the monitor, the new assistant director exclaimed, "No wonder it's an official TV station! The audience is really putting in a lot of effort to create a good show!"

Zhou Wen said with a complicated expression, "I don't think it's necessarily for the desired effect of the show. These audience members seem to genuinely like this song."

Even before the show ended, many people had already posted their recordings of "Love You Till I Die" on their respective social media platforms.

This is so energetic and explosive! Go listen to "I'll Love You Till I Die" now!!

[This song will steal your triple like in 4 minutes!]

Because of this amazing song, I need to re-evaluate "The Lone Warrior".

……

Chen Lei seized the opportunity to smooth things over, jokingly saying, "Sister Hong, you two have already 'bown each other' in prayer, it should be 'husband and wife bowing to each other,' not 'sending you away.'"

The host was so moved that she shed tears. Sister Lei is so kind, and Teacher Chen Hong's stage presence is something that not just anyone can handle.

He quickly used Chen Lei's words as a way to save the situation, "Alright then, let's go to the 'bridal chamber' and wait for Ruoxi. Please welcome the last contestant to the stage!"

Fang Ruoxi stepped off the stage and headed straight for the airport with her suitcase.

Although Zhang Xiaomeng was not in a good mood, she was much better than before when she looked like the sky had fallen.

The two rushed through the airport, making their way to the plane just in time.

Once the plane had stabilized, the captain announced in English that everyone could turn on their electronic devices, and Fang Ruoxi then took out her phone.

International flights have WiFi, so Fang Ruoxi connected to the signal and made an internet call to Wang Liping.

The call was answered immediately.

Wang Liping, with dark circles under his eyes, said wearily, "You don't need to come. It's no use coming."
