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

Chapter 118: Love is as deep as parental love, composed to commemorate the anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China!

"..."

Quiet and blank, if the camera pans across the backstage of the "Chinese Music Awards: Red Song Season" program, you'll find that these well-known mainstream singers have no expression on their faces and are staring blankly at Shen Ming'en on stage.

Upon closer inspection, one might discover something unexpected deep within their eyes…

Yes.

I didn't expect that.

Everyone!

No one expected that Shen Ming'en would choose this topic for this episode to be so...

This is utter garbage!
Are the Bauhinia flowers fluttering in the wind?
What the heck is this...?

Bauhinia flowers, aren't those flowers that can be seen everywhere by the roadside?

What's so great about that thing?

What kind of auspicious meaning does that thing have?
Yes, sparrows eat it. Strictly speaking, the Bauhinia flower also carries connotations of "family affection and harmony," "love and romance," and "good fortune and prosperity." But to be honest, it's just a flower now, how could it not have a beautiful meaning?!
Even the red spider lily carries the beautiful connotations of "longing and remembrance" and "beauty and purity"!

If you insist on conveying a specific meaning, there's no flower you can't create!
The theme of this episode is to create "red songs" around the theme of "flowers." What these singers actually mean is to use the beautiful symbolism of various famous flowers to praise the motherland...

Therefore, they chose peonies, lotuses, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, chrysanthemums, and so on.

Originally, based on their understanding of Shen Ming'en, they thought that Shen Ming'en might choose a flower that was equally famous but very different from them, and take a very ingenious and exquisite approach to create a song praising the motherland.

But who knows...

He damn well picked such a rubbish, such a bauhinia flower!

What I'm saying is, what's the difference between choosing this thing and choosing wildflowers by the roadside?!

To put it nicely, you're using the symbolism of flowers to praise the motherland; to put it bluntly, you're completely insulting revolutionary songs!
Can you really praise the motherland just by picking any flower?

Is our great motherland really so casual?!

Are you allowed to be so casual?!
"Ha ha……"

The senior figure, Yue Huochuan, sat in the crowd, watching this scene. He shook his head and smiled, then said to the person next to him:
"Since we can't find any good angles, let's just find an uncommon one."

As a veteran singer, Yue Huochuan believed he had a very sharp and unique eye. He thought Shen Mingen would definitely try to find a clever angle from the topics given by the program team to win everyone's favor, just like in previous episodes...

Unfortunately, it's difficult to find a truly compelling angle on the topic of "flowers."

He couldn't find it, so he just forced it on, finding an obscure angle, thinking that people wouldn't understand it but would inexplicably find it sophisticated.

But the question is, are the audience fools?
If people don't understand, why should they think your angle is brilliant?

"Um……"

"Teacher Ming En was careless this time..."

"Tsk tsk..."

The other singers echoed this sentiment.

In short, the singers backstage were probably all a little gloating.

Most people probably think that Shen Ming'en is going to "lose Jingzhou due to carelessness" this time.

But the problem is...

On the scene, almost everyone could be careless; but he, Thunder Yata Lane, could not be careless!

If others are careless, at worst their ranking will be worse this round, but they won't be eliminated...

If he had been careless even in just one episode, he would have been eliminated immediately!

This isn't something they alone have realized...

Offstage, Shen Ming'en's manager, Ma Ling Hajiling, also realized it!

Before this episode started, Hajiling was a little desperate, thinking that if such an exaggerated topic as "revolutionary spirit" could not stump Shen Ming'en, how could a mere "flower" possibly stop him from expressing his loyalty to his motherland?

Therefore, she simply didn't even go to the program's control room, and just sat in the audience as if she were watching a performance...

But what she never expected was that Shen Ming'en would actually...

The car overturned!
Hajiling's eyes were shining as she looked at the stage. She thought to herself, "Could this seemingly simple question actually be quite difficult?"

Otherwise, why would Shen Mingen have chosen such a muddle-headed Bauhinia?
Although we don't know what Shen Ming'en is really thinking, judging from the topic he's chosen so far, barring any unforeseen circumstances...

He has a good chance of being eliminated this episode!
There's a very good chance!
It's worth noting that although the audience kept calling Shen Ming'en's name during the previous singers' performances, their performances were all quite good. Their works, created using the symbolism, language, and auspicious meanings of flowers like peonies, lotuses, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums, were all commendable and unique.

Like flowers, they vie for attention and beauty.

Under such circumstances, Shen Ming'en's "Bauhinia" has almost nothing to praise.

They are aware of this, and the audience is also aware of it, so even if they use this as an excuse to eliminate him, it is perfectly justifiable and no one can find fault with it!

"Haha... Ahahaha..."

He was in the audience and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Howl!

Ma Ling really wanted to roar to the heavens!
How many times...

How many times has this happened?!
Countless times, she longed to eliminate Shen Ming'en, racking her brains and scheming to kick him out of the show!
Each time, however, hope was dashed...

She never expected that this time, when she had no hope at all, her goal was about to be achieved!

Shen Ming'en actually brought this upon himself!
Oh, hahaha...

Then it's not her fault!
Given his performance this season, no one can say anything if he's eliminated!

All I can say is, you reap what you sow!

at this time……

Ma Ling and the other singers backstage basically felt that Shen Ming'en's performance this episode was likely to lead to his elimination.

In the control room, Niu Zhi, the director of the "Chinese Music Music Center: Red Song Season" program, also put his hands on his head and made a "desperate" expression, thinking that his Ming En Emperor had no hope.

Even on the scene, many audience members looked somewhat troubled...

The live chat was flooded with comments:
Brother! You're so foolish!

Aren't you just asking to be eliminated?!

[A great emperor, peerless in his brilliance, is he destined to fall?!]

Chapter 1: The Fallen Genius!

[? Third level of Battle Qi?]

Is this the time to just wander around like this?!

……

Many audience members initially had high expectations for Shen Ming'en, but to be honest, many now feel like they've been given a huge disappointment.

Disappointed? Not quite...

Telling Shen Ming'en to stop singing wouldn't have been necessary...

After all, Shen Mingen contributed countless wonderful moments to the stage of "Chinese Music Awards," and it was because of those moments that everyone was very forgiving of him.

However, it's hard not to feel a little regretful and disappointed.

Unfortunately, such a brilliant person is about to be eliminated from the show. Given his relationship with the capital behind him, it is highly likely that they will not see Shen Ming'en for a while.

Realizing this, many viewers began to sigh...

That's roughly the situation on site.

To be honest...

In other words, Shen Ming'en had no idea what everyone was thinking.

If we really found out...

That really makes you burst out laughing!
No...

I only sang one line!
He only sang one line!

Why are you guys so dramatic?!
Actually, some people in the adjacent online live stream recognized that the flowers printed on Shen Ming'en's purple performance outfit were the Bauhinia purpurea, the district flower of Hong Kong. However, there were just too many people watching the "Chinese Music Awards" program at the same time, with hundreds or even thousands of comments being sent out every second on average...

Those comments that were recognized were, after all, a minority, so they were quickly buried in the sea of ​​comments after being posted and were not seen by the vast majority of people.

This resulted in no one recognizing the flower pattern on Shen Ming'en's performance costume...

But it doesn’t matter…

After all, Shen Ming'en didn't sing himself this episode.

After all, Shen Ming'en invited outside help for this episode.

The song "Bauhinia Blossoms" also has a Cantonese part.

With the Cantonese part coming out, there's no need to worry about people not getting the point of this song!
At that time...

Those shameless people who can't stand to see him doing well are going to get a good beating again!

The scene here is one of profound sorrow...

Potatoes and their backers gloated.

Director Niu held his head in his hands, looking utterly desperate.

It was under these circumstances that...

Suddenly, a very familiar, gentle Cantonese song appeared in everyone's ears!

……

"A gentle ripple on the water..."

"All of them, my most cherished and steadfast..."

……

When I heard that singing...

"..."

Everyone present was stunned.

【ber……】

[Where did this female voice come from?]

[That sounds familiar...it sounds like my Ah Li's voice!]

[…Don't fucking resemble him, this is clearly Ah Laodi!]

【oh!!!】

……

While everyone was stunned, the stage lights suddenly dimmed, and the lights on Shen Ming'en and his piano also dimmed...

Suddenly, a spotlight shone on the stage entrance, where a slender woman in a white and purple gradient embroidered strapless dress was walking slowly in high heels.

The soft Cantonese singing just now seemed to have come from her mouth...

at the same time!

The large screen at the scene also focused the image on the latter's face!
When Yao Shuli's highly recognizable and delicate face appeared on the camera, before all the viewers...

"Oh!!!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Yao Shuli is our A-Li!"

"Wow ah ah!"

"Shen Ming'en, you little brat!"

"There's even a show like this?!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Countless audience members shouted at this moment, their faces flushed.

Many audience members at the scene even stood up, while in the online live stream next door, a massive amount of comments almost flooded the entire screen!
Yao Shuli!

That's Yao Shuli!

It's Yao Shuli, who has a very popular "Mingli CP" with Shen Mingen!

Who would have thought that in this episode, Shen Ming'en would actually invite Yao Shuli to help him out!
His entry for this episode of "Chinese Music Awards: Red Song Season" is surprisingly a... duet!
It's a duet by Shen Ming'en and Yao Shuli!
Just realizing this was enough to make many audience members incredibly excited...

Not to mention, at this moment on the stage, Yao Shuli was slowly walking towards Shen Mingen, and seeing the audience's enthusiasm, the two of them couldn't help but smile.

They looked at each other, they smiled at each other, one played the piano, the other walked towards him with a microphone. That single moment perfectly embodied the word "romance"!

The last time the two interacted on stage was during "The Great Wall Will Never Fall," when Shen Mingen wrote a song called "Courage" for Yao Shuli, who sang it on stage while Shen Mingen laughed from the audience...

Videos from that day are still circulating on various social media platforms!

now!

Shen Mingen directly invited Yao Shuli, and the two of them sang a duet together!

Just realizing this, just seeing the two interacting on stage, has already made many people swoon!

Because everyone was so engrossed in the sweet moments, they momentarily forgot that Shen Ming'en's song in this episode didn't have a particularly profound message...

The cheers from the audience were so loud they almost lifted the roof off the studio!

"Really that serious..."

From below the stage, watching the excited commotion around Yao Shuli as she came on stage, Ma Ling's lips twitched. She thought to herself, "So what if they sing together? So what if you're all excited?"

Ultimately, his so-called "Bauhinia" was not as exquisite as the ones others had found;
Ultimately, he was still eliminated because of this very question!
And he's so excited...

The more excited you are now, the more you'll cry when Shen Mingen is eliminated!

Just you wait!

"Tsk..."

Backstage, many fellow singers watching this scene were green with envy and jealousy.

A hint of bitterness appeared on everyone's face; they probably shared the same thoughts as Ma Ling.

"Ugh……"

In the studio, Director Niu couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. He actually shared the same thought as Ma Ling: Yao Shuli's appearance was only a temporary fix and could at most boost the audience's enthusiasm. If the work was bad, then he was just not good enough!
These people are still clinging to their original ideas...

However, while they couldn't bear to see Shen Ming'en doing well, they all secretly harbored a question...

That is, why is it that in Shen Ming'en's song about the Bauhinia flower, Yao Shuli sings...

Cantonese?

That's really strange...

Why did he have to make Yao Shuli sing in Cantonese when a normal Mandarin male-female duet would have been fine?
Although Yao Shuli's Cantonese singing is quite authentic and tasteful, they could have clearly all used Mandarin.

At that moment, they never expected that the answer to this question would cause their mindset to completely change!

……

"Oh!!!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

"The Mingli couple is on a winning streak!"

Meanwhile, the cheers and shouts continued unabated, and many female spectators lost their voices from shouting.

"Dong dong..."

Shen Ming'en had expected the audience to be excited, but he hadn't anticipated it to this extent. As he played the piano, a smile crept onto his face, and he almost burst out laughing while singing...

He sang:

……

"Innocence is your smile..."

"A hug that lasts forever..."

……

He lost his composure, and Yao Shuli almost couldn't hold back either. However, she had a solid stage presence, so she managed to sing normally in the end, only her lips kept curving upwards like Shen Ming'en's...

At the same time, her pretty face also flushed slightly.

……

"Love is as deep and enduring as parental love..."

"Clap for me all the time..."

"Love and Singing~"

……

As before, Yao Shuli sang in Cantonese. To be honest, this song is a duet, and the vocals in the early part of the verses are very gentle, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze, which is very comfortable to listen to...

But for some reason, no one had that feeling of two people gazing deeply into each other's eyes and singing love songs.

On the contrary, it has a kind of...

The children, sheltered in a safe harbor, sing together about the feelings of the mother who raised them.

It's that kind of tenderness, like that of a newborn baby.

It's strange...

That feeling was almost perfectly conveyed to the heart of every single person!

More and more people are finding that this song...

not simple!

It seems that it's not as simple as these people think, just a very casual, roadside-style theme of bauhinia flowers...

But if it weren't like that...

So what is the theme of Shen Ming'en's song "Bauhinia"?

The audience realized it, so how could Ma Ling, Director Niu, and the fellow singers backstage not realize it?

For a moment, everyone frowned...

"Cantonese..."

Down in the audience, Ma Ling crossed her arms over her chest, her face no longer showing the ecstasy she had just displayed, but instead filled with unease.

She muttered the word "Cantonese" to herself, and then started to make connections!
When you think of Cantonese, what comes to mind?

Hong Kong!
Cantonese songs, also known as Hong Kong music, originated in Hong Kong.

And when you think of Hong Kong, and then think of the "Bauhinia flower"...

Ma Ling was actually quite ignorant; she didn't know what the Bauhinia flower symbolized in Hong Kong, but she would look it up!

On the spot, she immediately took out her phone and looked up the meaning of the Bauhinia flower in Hong Kong...

It's okay if you don't watch it...

Upon seeing it, my eyes widened in surprise!
In Hong Kong, the Bauhinia flower is not the traditional Bauhinia flower we commonly see, but rather the Hong Kong Bauhinia, or more accurately, the red-flowered Bauhinia.

And this so-called red flower bauhinia is the regional flag of Hong Kong!

"Why does this look so familiar..."

The information found on her phone showed the specific appearance of this so-called "red flower bauhinia". Ma Ling took a closer look, then looked up at Shen Ming'en on the stage...

Upon seeing it, I was immediately dumbfounded again, completely bewildered!
Your mother!

Isn't that the flower embroidered on Shen Ming'en's performance costume?!

and many more……

Is it possible...

The "Bauhinia" in the "flower" theme that Shen Ming'en chose for this episode is actually the red-flowered Bauhinia variegata.

Could it be that Shen Ming'en's theme for this episode is related to Hong Kong?!

Thinking about this...

"woc..."

Ma Ling was stunned.

At this moment on stage, the feeling of a child's gratitude towards his mother, conveyed in the singing of Shen Ming'en and Yao Shuli, still lingers in the ears and is captivating.

Based on the feeling conveyed in the song, Ma Ling had a bad feeling...

"What's the anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China again...?"

Her lips began to twitch uncontrollably, and then she looked down again to search on her phone!

moment……

Her eyes widened, and she looked completely bewildered!
Then, the bewildered expression turned into a blank stare...

It began to turn into something incredible!

no……

no!
Your mother!

It turns out that Shen Ming'en's song isn't about the ordinary Bauhinia flower, but rather the district flower of Hong Kong!
The theme of his song is not just ordinary praise of the motherland, but praise of Hong Kong's return to China!
Next month on the 1st, it will be the anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China!
What else could he be singing if not to celebrate the anniversary of the handover?!

If that's the meaning...

Strictly speaking, this idea carries far more weight than simply praising the motherland!

If that's the meaning...

So!

Let alone them!

Let alone the entertainment industry!
Even in the highest circles, anyone who still wants to make it in this country should forget about it and has no right to kick him out of the show. Use this song to eliminate him!

Realizing this...

Ma Ling is really numb!

If Ma Ling can realize this, do you think other people, such as the guests backstage, director Niu Zhi, and all the viewers watching the show, wouldn't realize it?!

In the online live stream, there were already many comments discussing the flower pattern on Shen Mingen's costume, and many people had already recognized the embroidered flowers on his performance outfit, but they were drowned out by the flood of comments...

Now, as Yao Shuli sings in Cantonese, and as more and more people wonder why this song evokes the feeling of children and mother...

Such comments were thus discovered!
Many people in the comments section are saying:

[The flowers on Shen Ming'en's body weren't ordinary Bauhinia flowers; they were Bauhinia purpurea!]

That's the official flower of Hong Kong, the design on the regional flag!

Oh... so this Bauhinia flower is related to Hong Kong?!

Wow, next month on the 1st is the anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China, and this song feels like it was written for that occasion!

[The image of sparrows eating evokes a warm feeling, and the mix of Mandarin and Cantonese creates a vivid picture!]

[Oh my god! So, Shen Ming'en has pulled off another comeback?!]

Hahaha...this kid's got some skills!

[Are you stupid? Anyone who thinks he's going to be eliminated is an idiot!]

……

yes……

Now, everyone who thought he was about to be eliminated from the show because he chose "Bauhinia" is an idiot!
Backstage...

Many fellow singers can actually see the comments on the screen, but they were completely baffled after being "educated" by netizens!
No...

Your mother!

They were all puzzled and curious. Where the hell did Hakim find and come up with so many ingenious and brilliant angles that left people speechless and applauding?!

How did you manage to connect the topic of "flowers" to the anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China?!

"impossible……"

The veteran Yue Huochuan was still determined to succeed until he saw the rabbit, and wouldn't give up until he reached the Yellow River, muttering to himself:

"There's no such deep meaning, absolutely not!"

Yue Huochuan never expected that the moment he finished speaking, the chorus of Shen Ming'en's "Bauhinia Blossoms" would come through!

When he heard the chorus of "Bauhinia Blossoms," his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally...

at last!

Absolutely ridiculous!
