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

Chapter 124 Female voice cheating? Do you even know what opera vocalization is, a national treasure?!

To drive out foreigners and save the nation, and to strike a blow against them, what should we use?
High notes!
A devastatingly loud note that could destroy the world!
Show off your skills!

What the audience in the Chinese entertainment industry needs is for Shen Ming'en to come out with a shout of "Ya la suo~" just like in the previous episode of "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau," dominating the world with that kind of "I am invincible in the world" aura!

But did he actually do that?

No...

He not only didn't go for the high-pitched style or show off his skills, but instead chose a song that was rather mellow, and could even be said to have no special features other than a touch of traditional Chinese style.

That's what we're saying!

With that, what makes you think you can compare to Isabella?!

If we focus on popular appeal and don't bring out some ethnic elements, we really can't compete with them!

Those Western singers have voices that seem superhuman; they're like golden voices, there's no comparison!

When Shen Mingen sang "The New Drunken Concubine," the live chat exploded with excitement after just a few lines of the verse!

Chinese entertainment netizens are spamming:

What is this...?

[Brother! Where's your Yala Suo?! Take it out!]

[And this is supposed to be "The New Drunken Concubine"... I don't know if the concubine is drunk or not, but I'm definitely drunk. Dude, can you be serious?!]

You're really that relaxed?!

[This game is ruined... This game is truly ruined...]

You can usually tell the style of a song just by looking at the beginning. Shen Ming'en's "The New Drunken Concubine" is definitely not a folk style; it might just be a bit Chinese style...

This kind of work has absolutely no chance of winning against heavyweight singers like Isabella from Europe and America!

For a moment, viewers in the Chinese entertainment industry were filled with despair...

And what about netizens on foreign websites?
That was truly a carnival feast!
Haha...

【That’s it? 】

Is this the so-called "savior of the nation by driving out foreigners" you all claim to be?

Don't you think it's hilarious?

What makes him different from your other singers?

I don't see anything special about it...

[I was right. Even when Isabella is unwell, she's still more than capable of crushing you all.]

These Easterners are not worthy of Isabella using her full strength.

Why are those evil Eastern netizens silent now? Are they just naturally quiet?

Some things...

Don't blow on the sparrow's food!

Because if it's hyped up too much and praised too highly, people's expectations will become too high.

If expectations are not met, then all the praise will turn into huge slaps, hitting people's faces repeatedly.

For example now...

Netizens in the Chinese entertainment industry have really been slapped in the face this time.

The higher they praised Shen Ming'en before, the louder they're being slapped in the face now. They can't refute anything the foreigners say.

For a while...

They all became depressed and desperate.

This sense of gloom seemed to be contagious even through the screen. In the studio, many audience members, while still showing their support as always, were noticeably less enthusiastic than before…

They weren't mocked by foreigners from afar, so they weren't as downcast as they appeared online. But it was precisely because of this that their reactions were so genuine.

At that time, the camera focused on the Chinese singers backstage during the "Singer Challenge"...

You can see that many singers in the Chinese entertainment industry who were initially somewhat desperate because of Isabella's performance now have a look of despair in their eyes as they listen to Shen Ming'en's performance.

yes……

despair.

You know, in the previous two episodes, their confidence was crushed by those foreigners. But at those times, Thunder Yata Lane would use a high-energy song to become the strongest healer, feeding them a good dose of milk and greatly boosting our morale!

In this episode, they were even more desperate than in previous ones, and therefore hoped even more that Shen Ming'en would give them another dose of amazing milk...

But who knew that Shen Ming'en would also falter this episode!

They've even started singing mainstream Chinese style songs...

How are these singers in the Chinese entertainment industry supposed to feel about this?!
If even the ringleader has given up, how can they possibly stand up again?
Yes... this time, even Shen Ming'en's song "The Power to Drive Foreigners Out of the Country" might be completely crushed...

Let alone them?
For a moment, the depression and despondency in their hearts almost swallowed them up.

Keisha, Sean, and Mia couldn't help but smile. If there weren't so many people around, and if they weren't in front of the cameras, they probably would have already burst out laughing...

all in all.

This situation is really not friendly to Shen Ming'en at all.

But Shen Ming'en on stage seemed oblivious, still softly singing:

……

"The golden hairpin and jade comb were gifts you gave me."

"The Dance of Rainbow Feathers, through countless cycles, I sing and dance for you~"

"Jianmen Pass, is where your deep longing for me resides~"

"At the foot of Mawei Slope, I am willing to sacrifice my life for true love."

……

With its classical style and antique charm, one can tell that Shen Ming'en's "The New Drunken Concubine" is sincere.

"The Drunken Beauty" is a classic Peking Opera piece based on Tang Dynasty history. It tells the story of Yang Guifei's drunken revelry and her bitterness and resentment caused by Emperor Xuanzong's broken promise.

This play is a landmark work of the "Mei School" and is hailed as "a model of classical Eastern beauty".

Shen Ming'en's song is called "The New Drunken Concubine." Because it was rehearsed in advance, the program team provided subtitles, and the audience already knew the song title...

When people first heard it, many thought this song would be related to the traditional opera "The Drunken Beauty," but they were surprised...

This is just ancient style.

It's just a narrative.

This has greatly disappointed many people.

At the same time, in a private room of a restaurant in Shanghai.

"Hehehe..."

Mr. Qin, the tea master, clasped his hands together, rested his chin on his hand, and looked at the television hanging high on the wall. He smiled and said to Lin Bei, the president of Ruixing Entertainment, who was not far away:
"Mr. Lin, are you relieved now?"

This wasn't the first time he'd said this; he'd already said it once when Isabella first took the stage.

Isabella's performance this week was truly outstanding. Let's put it this way, even if Shen Ming'en sang "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" this week, his opening "Ya la suo~" might not be as good as her.

Not to mention, Shen Ming'en's performance this episode was an ordinary traditional Chinese style song called "The New Drunken Concubine," which had no special features whatsoever.

all in all!
This time, their hearts were finally at ease.

Finally, I can relax.

"..."

Inside the room, President Qin finished speaking, but did not hear Lin Bei's voice as he had hoped.

President Qin was slightly taken aback. He glanced to the side and saw that Shen Ming'en's boss, Lin Bei, the CEO of Ruixing Entertainment, was frowning and looking at the screen with a worried expression.

"...Mr. Lin, what's wrong with you now?"

Lin Bei's expression made President Qin's heart skip a beat. Seriously? This kid's so weak, and Isabella's so incredibly strong, why are you still looking so gloomy?!

Why aren't you laughing?!
Does his mother really not like to smile?!

"No..." Lin Bei's brows remained furrowed. He simply said softly, "It just feels like this scene looks familiar."

"look familiar???"

A series of question marks flashed across President Qin's face...

What the hell is so familiar about this?!

"You don't actually think there's some hidden meaning in this song, like 'Bauhinia Blossoms' from the last episode of 'Chinese Music Awards: Red Song Season,' do you?" he asked, his lips twitching.

The scene is similar to when Shen Ming'en sang "Bauhinia Blossoms" last week. Everyone was confused about the deeper meaning of his song and thought he was going to be eliminated, so everyone started wailing and lamenting...

The problem is that Shen Ming'en did have a foreshadowing at the time, and Yao Shuli's Cantonese was indeed a ticking time bomb.

However, in the "Peak Singer Challenge," Shen Ming'en is destined not to have any outside help, otherwise it would be a foul...

What kind of foreshadowing could he possibly have?!

"no……"

Lin Bei simply shook his head slightly and said softly:
"It's not like 'The Bauhinia Blossoms,' but more like..."

"Like 'Rare Characters'."

As soon as he finished speaking...

President Qin: "???"

Mr. Qin's face was even more confused!

No way, what do you mean by "like rare characters"?

What the hell are you talking about...?

Lin Bei didn't offer any explanation. He had actually seen the video of Shen Ming'en's audition for the theme song of the CCTV program "Guoyu Guoyun" later, so he knew what had happened.

At the time, everyone seemed to think that Shen Ming'en's "Rare Characters" was all show and no substance. Before the chorus came, everyone thought he definitely had no chance...

As a result, a whole bunch of "uncommon characters" appeared in the chorus!

It completely reversed the situation!

just now!

On the stage of "The Peak Singer Challenge", Shen Mingen's "The New Drunken Concubine" gave him the same feeling and the same sense of déjà vu!
I have a feeling that this kid, in the chorus, should... possibly...

They're holding back their ultimate move!

The title of his song, "The New Drunken Concubine," immediately evokes the classic Mei Lanfang opera "The Drunken Concubine"...

Since it can be linked to classic operas...

How could it be that we can't connect it to the "opera singing" style?!
If it really is opera singing...

He might still have a chance!!!
All I can say is that, as Shen Mingen's boss, although he hasn't had much direct interaction with Shen Mingen, Lin Bei really knows Shen Mingen quite well...

At this moment.

Online viewers of Chinese entertainment, offline audiences in studios, and singers backstage all wore expressions of despair.

Online netizens, Western singers in the background, and even Mr. Qin watching the live stream from Shanghai were all gloating, waiting to see the joke.

Shen Ming'en's boss, Lin Beixiao, CEO of Ruixing Entertainment, had his eyelids twitching wildly...

And it was under these circumstances!
"Woo~"

As the ethereal sounds of the xun and xiao, traditional Chinese musical instruments, filled the air, Shen Ming'en on stage suddenly and inexplicably began to make a delicate gesture with his fingers.

That moment...

Many people were stunned. International netizens and the foreign singers backstage were still unaware of what was happening and were still laughing…

Only everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry stared wide-eyed!
【Holy crap…】

[Orchid finger gesture? ???]

Wait, this song isn't... what the hell...?

【Damn, it definitely is!】

【oh!!!】

[It's on fire! It's on fire!!!]

Everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry seemed to realize something and instantly became excited!

And in the very next moment!
He brought the microphone to his lips, and the authentic Peking Opera voice wafted over him!

……

Love and hate can be separated in an instant.

"Raising a cup to the moon, my feelings are as vast as the sky."

Love and hate are both lost in the vastness of the universe.

"When will you fall in love?"

……

"Oh!!!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Holy shit, shit, shit!"

"It's on fire! It's fucking on fire!!!"

The moment Shen Ming'en uttered his operatic voice, the audience on the scene went wild with excitement, as if a fuse had been lit!

Just now!

They were still feeling disappointed and down because Shen Ming'en's rendition of "The New Drunken Concubine" was just a typical pop song with no unique features...

I never imagined that Shen Ming'en's song would actually be a work that blends pop and traditional opera singing styles!

What I didn't expect was that this opera-style singing would be so energetic and so exhilarating!!!
It's worth noting that the chorus of "The New Drunken Concubine" not only uses Peking Opera singing style, but also has very high pitch. Shen Ming'en has sung Peking Opera singing style before, with "Wanjiang" being a prime example. However, even "Wanjiang" is significantly inferior to "The New Drunken Concubine" in terms of pitch in the chorus.

There are no points of comparison here; it's just a matter of different needs.

"Wanjiang" aims to depict a peaceful and prosperous nation, so the pitch cannot be too high.

But for "The New Drunken Concubine", it is a story full of ups and downs, so the chorus must be high-pitched!
When many people heard the ethereal yet deeply moving sound of the xun, a traditional Chinese instrument, before the chorus, they had a premonition...

Shen Mingen did not disappoint anyone at all, and his words "Love and hate are just a moment away" captivated the entire audience!
God knows how striking the contrast was when he suddenly switched from popular singing to opera singing, and how amazed everyone who heard him sing was!

【Aaaaaah!!!】

[Awesome! Absolutely awesome!]

In the online live stream, many Chinese netizens who had been relentlessly attacked by foreigners for half a day finally found a reason to vent their frustration and started shouting wildly:
[Do these foreigners even know what this is?!]

This is traditional Chinese opera singing, a style of opera, and a national treasure of our country!

Do you people from this barbaric land even know anything about traditional opera? Have you ever heard of what opera singing is?!

[Hahaha... I knew it! The reason Shen Ming'en dared to call this song "The New Drunken Concubine" is definitely related to the opera "The Drunken Concubine"!]

[Using Chinese pop music to battle with Western singers? Hakeem, you bastard...]

[Shen Ming'en: Like I said before, back then I had my hands in my pockets... Here I go!]

[Don't know how to fight back after being hit?]

[Pfft... Get lost! You clearly don't know what an opponent is!]

【Ahhh! Emperor Ming'en, unrivaled throughout eternity!】

At the pinnacle of immortality, standing proudly above the world, with my gratitude etched in my heart, the heavens will prevail!

[Hakian: Who dares to claim invincibility? Who dares to boast of being undefeated?! Hey, you thunderous Yatarain!]

……

The entertainment industry in China is going wild!

Not only netizens, but also the singers in the backstage area of ​​the Chinese entertainment industry, were so excited when they heard Shen Ming'en's Peking Opera singing that they stood up and cheered wildly!
What wonderful milk!
That guy Hajime, he truly has an amazing supply of milk!
No wonder it's called "driving foreigners to save the country"!

Just now, Yehenara almost thought about picking someone else in the next episode!

Who would have thought that your kindness would once again fill her mouth with a mouthful of good milk!

While audiences and singers in the Chinese entertainment industry were caught up in a collective frenzy, netizens on foreign websites, along with those Western singers, were instantly wide-eyed with surprise!

Foreign netizens:

【? ? ? 】

【! ! ! 】

Upon hearing Shen Ming'en's Peking Opera-style singing, they were immediately filled with amazement and questions.

At that time, the live chat was filled with shocked comments from foreigners; they were all typing:
【No, what is this?!】

[This Asian man's voice...is that really his voice?!]

[That's clearly a woman's voice!]

[Cheating! You evil Chinese people are cheating!]

How could a man possibly make such a sound?!

[The "generous gift crab" is fucking awful! Disgusting, shameful! You guys cheated!!!]

……

It's not just them...

Mia, Keisha, Sean, and even the new addition to the lineup, Isabella, a heavyweight powerhouse vocalist from Europe and America, all showed expressions of surprise.

At first, like netizens on foreign websites, they suspected that the voice might have come from Shen Ming'en...

Keisha, being at an age where she can't keep secrets, directly pulled aside her staff member and asked:
"Was that his voice?"

"Yes," the staff member nodded, explaining with pride and elation, "this is our national treasure, traditional opera!"

Then, she explained it in simpler, more understandable language...

Vocalization in traditional Chinese opera is one of the core skills of performance. It revolves around the dantian (lower abdomen) and emphasizes the use of breath and resonance of the vocal cords. The articulation and phrasing are also highly refined. Different roles, such as old male, young female, painted face, and clown, have different vocal characteristics.

Shen Ming'en's singing uses a male voice and the style of traditional Chinese opera to interpret the style of Qingyi (a female role in Peking Opera), which is why there is such a contrasting and amazing sound.

The vocal techniques used in traditional Chinese opera are a combination of technique and art, requiring long-term refinement to truly capture the essence of "every table and chair tells a story of joy and sorrow, every frown and smile conveys the seasons."

As a song in the style of "opera song" that blends opera and traditional opera, Shen Ming'en's "The New Drunken Concubine" cannot be strictly considered opera, but his opera singing is very authentic. His tone, intonation, and breath control are all amazing.

Even professionals can only give a thumbs up.

Therefore, even the staff were very proud when introducing him and his Peking Opera singing style, not to mention the netizens...

Chinese netizens are furiously mocking those foreign netizens who accused Shen Ming'en of "cheating"!
Have you ever heard of winning unfairly, or of being ignorant and uninformed?

You guys are so ignorant!

[Cheating, my foot... Go learn about traditional Chinese opera before spouting nonsense, you stupid foreigner!]

"...It really is his voice..."

After learning about this from the staff and the domestic singers standing nearby, Keisha, Mia, and Sean felt a mix of emotions.

One thing they were very clear about was that if the voice really belonged to Shen Ming'en, then their heavyweight replacement guest for this episode would be Isabella, a powerful singer from Europe and America...

Really, they might not be rivals.

After all, they've already performed a national treasure!

How can you possibly fight like that?!

They were aware of this...

Do you really think that Lin Bei and President Qin, both Chinese citizens watching the live broadcast from Shanghai, wouldn't know?!
"..."

Quiet.

An eerie silence!

When Shen Ming'en sang in the opera style on stage, and uttered the pure line "Love and hate are just a moment apart," the faint smile that had been lingering on President Qin's face instantly vanished.

Instead, there was a wildly twitching mouth...

no……

no!
Damn you!
Hakim, you bastard...you!

It's like killing someone's spirit! It's like killing someone's spirit!

President Qin felt that this guy was doing it on purpose!

She deliberately wore only a traditional Chinese style outfit, without any opera costume, intentionally making people associate the song title "The New Drunken Concubine" with traditional Chinese style, rather than with opera!
The preceding verses continue this pattern, making everyone disappointed in him and losing all expectations!
at this time!
He then launched into a Peking Opera-style vocal performance!
Stunning the audience!

There's nothing wrong with what he's doing; as someone working in the entertainment industry, it's perfectly appropriate for him to raise audience expectations...

The problem is, by doing this, President Qin... and yet again, once again, popped champagne at halftime!

just!

Like everyone else, President Qin believed that Shen Ming'en had no chance of making a comeback this season. He was certain that Shen Ming'en would be completely crushed by Isabella and eliminated, so that he could give Lin Bei an explanation...

who knows!
This guy!
He countered with a line in the style of traditional Chinese opera!
it's good now……

Now, if his Peking Opera singing continues to be high-energy, then unsurprisingly, they will once again... once again fail to eliminate this living father!

"...How does this kid know so much?!" President Qin couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Ridiculous...

This is absolutely outrageous!

Even he forgot that this kid could sing in Peking Opera style...

And forget that this kid is perfectly capable of using this national treasure to fight against foreigners!
Nothing can strike foreigners more effectively than our national treasures!

"..."

Not far away, Lin Bei didn't say anything either, but silently raised his chubby little hand and covered his face, making a facepalm emoji like Yue Yunpeng...

mullet roe...

He's such a mullet roe freak too!

Although he had a feeling that Shen Mingen's preparations for this episode wouldn't be so simple, he still didn't expect that Shen Mingen would actually use opera singing in this episode!

just now……

There's really no chance of winning!

Lin Bei was already very angry, but do you know what made him so angry that he almost vomited blood?

A short while later, that Mr. Qin actually threw out this remark:
"Mr. Lin... you can't blame me for this. You have to blame your own bad mouth. It was all your fault for saying such things..."

Lin Bei: "Wow, I... (f***ing ***)"

Kill people!
Lin Bei really wants to kill someone right now!

At this point, Lin Bei and President Qin were already in despair...

I never expected that Yao Shuli's performance would add so much brilliance to Shen Ming'en!

These two are at it again, showering us with sweetness!
