The day after the cultural banquet, Linhai City convened a city-wide conference on arts and culture, which was attended by all public and private organizations related to the word "arts and culture".

At the meeting, the "Fanfu Culture" naturally stole the show and was specifically praised by the city, which called on all literary and artistic workers in the city to learn from it and bring glory to Linhai City.

As the person in charge of Yuting Culture, Zhuo Tao naturally attended the meeting. He was seething with hatred throughout the meeting, but he had no choice but to join others in applauding enthusiastically for the overthrow of culture.

This feeling is worse than killing him.

At the meeting, Mayor Yu Deren personally presented the "Linhai City Literary and Artistic Pioneer" honorary title plaque to Fanfu Culture, and insisted that Wang Ke say a few words to everyone.

Wang Kezhen only said two sentences:

"We are grateful to the municipal government for its support of the 'Revolutionary Culture' initiative. 'Revolutionary Culture' will always strive to keep its responsibilities and duties in mind, and work hard to create new glories for the arts and culture community in Linhai!"

The applause from the audience was thunderous, and Zhuo Tao deserved to be among those applauded.

Zhuo Tao was so angry his nose almost crooked.

But what angered him even more was yet to come.

Shortly after National Day, online discussions about songs commemorating the National Day became increasingly lively.

Among them, ordinary netizens naturally praised the classic songs released by Fanfu Culture, while many music critics also jumped on the bandwagon and began to comment on these songs, especially "My Motherland":

"What makes the song 'My Motherland' so good? Let me explain from its composition: it uses a contrasting two-part structure, which is simply brilliant! What is a contrasting two-part structure? Simply put, the first part is sung by a female lead, with a lyrical and gentle melody in a pentatonic scale, giving a feeling of intimacy and simplicity, instantly evoking the sounds of one's hometown; the second part is a mixed chorus, with a passionate and resolute melody, possessing the characteristics of a bright ode, expressing the powerful spirit of collective will. To put it even more simply, it is a perfect blend of strength and gentleness!"

"Let me talk about the singing style: In the song 'My Motherland,' the resonance chamber is relatively short, the folk singing style makes the voice 'forward,' the volume is small, and the singing is agile, beautiful, high-pitched, and delicate, with distinct national characteristics. This is simply too rare, truly the best song I have heard since the founding of the People's Republic of China!"

"Then let me say something too? This song is divided into two sections, in a simple binary form. The two sections form a sharp contrast while maintaining integrity and harmony. It praises the motherland from various perspectives, such as 'beautiful motherland,' 'heroic motherland,' and 'powerful motherland.' This technique is truly amazing! I must say, the subversion of culture is indeed impressive!"

The other songs also received overwhelming praise from music critics. Even the music critics cultivated by Yuting Culture had to admit that these songs were indeed impeccable.

Of course, they really didn't dare to be picky!

These songs have all been praised by CTV and used by the Linhai City Government as a prized achievement for publicity. Who would dare to say they are bad?

Furthermore, given the popularity of these songs, if anyone dares to speak out of turn, even if the authorities don't punish them, the people won't stand for it!

Seeing these comments and messages from netizens online, Zhuo Tao felt both hatred and jealousy, and his eyes turned red.

"Let you be smug for now!"

"Just you wait, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

After the National Day holiday, Wang Ke immediately threw himself into the production of the new season of "The Voice of China".

This episode features mentor Lu Zhiming's team battle. According to the program schedule, after this episode, there will be four episodes of mentor team championship battles, at which time each team will select a champion to participate in the final competition.

It looks complicated, but Wang Ke didn't find it tiring at all to arrange it – how tiring could it be to simply copy the program arrangement of the first season of The Voice of China?

In this episode, the best performer selected by mentor Lu Zhiming's team was a girl named Shui Ling.

This girl doesn't sing rock, but her voice is really good. After thinking for a while, Wang Ke picked out a song for her called "The One I Miss".

As soon as this episode aired, it goes without saying that Shui Ling became an instant sensation.

"The Song I Miss" is Stefanie Sun's signature song. Back in the day, this song won numerous awards, including the 2007 MusicRadio China Chart Hong Kong and Taiwan Song of the Year, the Jade Solid Gold Best Ten Music Awards Most Popular Mandarin Song Award, and the 13th Singapore Hit Awards Longest-Running Single Award, among others.

If such a song were brought to Earth, it would naturally dominate the world and be unmatched!

In addition, the song itself is a breakup love song, and Yao Ruolong's lyrics are sincere and touching, vividly depicting people's longing and reluctance to let go of the beautiful times that have passed in a relationship, which naturally makes it easy to resonate with the audience.

So when this song came out, countless people who had been hurt in relationships couldn't hold on any longer, holding their phones, listening to the song, and crying loudly.

"What I miss is being able to talk about anything, what I miss is dreaming together, what I miss is the impulse to still love you even after arguing!"

Such lyrics and such music brought tears to the eyes of countless people, and made countless others regret their actions!

Of course, this song easily became a trending topic.

Then netizens were surprised to find that the "reversal culture" seems to be trending on social media quite often.

It feels like they've monopolized all the trending topics!

The internal battle among the four mentor groups has ended, and the show will move on to the next stage. Everyone was happy and got together for a drink.

At the dinner table, mentor Chen Hao raised his glass to toast Wang Ke, who quickly stood up and said, "This won't do! In terms of age and seniority, you are the elder brother. How could I dare let you toast me?"

Chen Hao laughed and said, "This wine isn't offered for nothing! You should drink it first!"

“Yes, let’s drink first!” the three mentors said in unison.

"Alright! Cheers!" Wang Ke knew they had something to say, so he drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone naturally cheered.

Chen Hao also downed his drink and said, "I won't beat around the bush. We've been together for so long, we're all friends now. The four of us owe a lot to the show 'The Voice of China' for being able to reach the top of the Chinese entertainment industry. We have to thank Boss Fan for that!"

Wang Ke quickly adopted a humble attitude.

Chen Hao laughed and said, "President Fan, don't be so modest. As the saying goes, if someone is being overly solicitous, it's either something else, right?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Wang Ke laughed and then said, "Let me guess—you guys want to commission a song from me, right?"

"See? I told you Mr. Fan was a smart guy, didn't I?" Lu Zhiming said hastily. "He understood right away, didn't he?"

"Master Fan is a genius!" Li Feifei gave a thumbs up.

"President Fan, you absolutely have to agree to this!" Ren Mingwei said.

"You should just forget about it," Li Feifei said. "You're a singer-songwriter yourself, isn't it a bit inappropriate to ask someone else to write your songs?"

"What's wrong with this?" Ren Mingwei exclaimed anxiously. "How can I call this creative work in front of Fan Zong? I'm making this clear today—as long as Fan Zong agrees to write songs for me and let me join Fanfu Culture, I'm all set!"

"Hey, I feel like you're getting a bigger advantage here," Li Feifei said.

Everyone burst into laughter and nodded in agreement.

"That's true!"
