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

Chapter 143 My attitude was firm, facing north, and a thunderclap sounded from nowhere!

The saying "the victor is king, the loser is villain" seemed to come to life at this moment. It was as if from the moment the solo singer of the Olympic promotion theme song was "announced" at the Temple of Heaven, Shen Ming'en had entered the camp of the losers. At that instant, a wave of smear campaign swept over him, engulfing, covering, and crushing him!
At that moment, not to mention the trolls in the live stream next door, even Lin Bei, the usually "cautious" and "honest" man in the tea room, unusually lowered his guard, breathed a sigh of relief, and relaxed his tightly furrowed brows.

Zhou Chujian even started mocking Shen Ming'en directly...

At that time, they may have overlooked a detail...

That is, when the host announced the solo performance of this "winning song," which is the Olympic promotional theme song, he did not specify who the singer was.

It wasn't said that it was Shen Ming'en or Chen Guangrong; it was just that Teacher Chen Guangrong appeared on stage, so everyone tacitly assumed that the person was Teacher Chen Guangrong.

But who says that appearing on stage at this time automatically makes someone a singer?

The situation is still uncertain, and a bunch of cattle and horses are jumping on our faces. Don't you find that ridiculous?

Shen Ming'en's lips always held a faint smile. He showed no intention of responding to Zhou Chujian's provocation. Instead, he slowly and unhurriedly took off his upper clothes.

At that time...

Zhou Chujian was stunned.

The smile on his face froze for a moment...

Perhaps the scene before him was too unbelievable, so Zhou Chujian didn't immediately realize what was going on.

Various thoughts surfaced in Zhou Chujian's mind, and these thoughts kept echoing in his head:

What was he going to do by taking off his clothes?

"He's going to go on stage?"

"But the soloist has already been announced, hasn't he?"

"Isn't he just causing trouble by taking off his clothes and going on stage at this time? Isn't he afraid of being reprimanded by the organizing committee?"

"Could he be a solo singer???"

"No, it's already been announced..."

"What is he doing?!"

Zhou Chujian was completely baffled as to what Shen Mingen was trying to do, but his sharp eyes caught a glimpse of Yao Shuli sitting to Shen Mingen's left when his CPU was about to overheat...

At this moment, Shen Ming'en stood up and took off his clothes. His actions were very conspicuous. Not everyone would notice him immediately, but many people would pay attention. Almost everyone who noticed this scene looked puzzled and confused, just like Zhou Chujian.

But Zhou Chujian could see that Yao Shuli's exquisite face showed no sign of "surprise" or "astonishment".

Instead, she smiled and reached out her hand, as if intending to take Shen Ming'en's coat for safekeeping.

"woc..."

Zhou Chujian was suddenly unsure...

I'm completely confused!
An ominous premonition instantly gripped my heart!
The camera wasn't focused on Shen Ming'en at the time, so the viewers in the online live stream next door and the mob in the tea room didn't notice this scene immediately.

Meanwhile, those itchy-nosed guys in the tea room were "popping champagne halfway through" again, joining the trolls in mocking Shen Ming'en...

They could imagine how badly Shen Mingen would be humiliated this time, and even more so, how this would affect him afterwards. This made it incredibly convenient for them to target Shen Mingen from behind the scenes.

But it was at this very moment...

It was during this time that the tea room's group of itchy-nosed people and the online trolls had a "collective climax"!
【wrong! 】

Suddenly, some sharp-eyed viewers noticed something: a lot of comments were flooding the screen at that moment.

Where is Teacher Chen Guangrong going? He's already passed by!

【No way...we've already passed the center of the stage, haven't we?】

Why isn't Teacher Chen stopping? Isn't the performance supposed to be in the center of the stage?

……

Yes, that's right...

Mr. Chen Guangrong, who is considered by everyone to be the soloist of this Olympic promotional theme song, should have walked to the center of the stage after taking the stage, and then officially started the performance.

But when the teacher arrived at the center of the stage, he didn't stop or linger at all. He continued to walk slowly and steadily toward the audience opposite him.

This has left many people completely baffled!
【? ? ? 】

【! ! ! 】

A barrage of question marks filled the screen!
The little trolls who were just so arrogant seem to have suddenly fallen silent!
its not right……

The way Teacher Chen is acting makes it seem like... he's not the one performing?
what the hell!

The people in the chat room also noticed it. President Qin and the others, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, were dumbfounded when they saw this scene!

Everyone: "???"

Senseless!

I was completely stunned!
No...

Teacher Chen, where are you going?!
Stop!

Aren't you singing?!
Aren't you the soloist at the Imperial Ancestral Temple?

You're already in the center of the stage, where are you going next?!

This is your stage!

Are you really going to just hand over the stage to someone else?!
That moment...

"..."

The tea room was deathly silent; it was so quiet you could hear breathing and heartbeats!

Thump...thump...thump! Thump! Thump! Thump thump thump!
Jump!
My heart is racing, it's pounding nonstop!
Although the camera wasn't showing the direction Mr. Chen was heading at this moment, but rather focusing on his face from a frontal angle, viewers had been watching the show for a while, so they could still glean some clues and guess the direction Mr. Chen was moving in...

The audience seats!
There were actually many people in the audience, including not only ordinary audience members, but also a group of Chinese stars who had just finished performing "Beijing Welcomes You" at the Forbidden City next door!
To be honest, logically speaking, the people in the tea room with itchy noses and the haters in the live stream next door shouldn't have been so scared just because they saw Teacher Chen walking towards the audience...

But the problem is...

The audience seats weren't just occupied by ordinary viewers and the stars of the Chinese music scene, who are said to represent "half of the Chinese music world," but also by...

Shen Ming'en!

Emperor Ming'en!

Thunder Yetarion!

It's him!

What they feared most was that this Teacher Chen would cross the solemn and majestic stage and walk towards Shen Ming'en!
That was the consequence they feared most and least wanted to see!
At this moment...

It can be said that the hearts that had finally settled down because of Teacher Chen Guangrong's appearance immediately soared to the top of their chests, almost bursting out of their throats!
Everyone was terrified!

Rao is so...

Even Heaven didn't spare them!
Next, a shot from the director made their hearts, which had been in their throats, jump out of their chests completely!

【No way……】

No way!

[The direction Professor Chen Guangrong went seems to be the direction my brother is in!]

[Look, look! The teacher seems to have raised the microphone; it looks like she's handing it over!]

Could it be that this teacher arranged for someone to hand over the microphone?

【oh!!!】

【Aaaaaah! Your mom! Your mom! I'm so excited!】

What the heck?! What an incredible surprise this is!!!

At this moment, many fans and viewers in the online live broadcast room who were originally suppressed by the crazy trolls became excited as Teacher Chen Guangrong walked across the stage to the audience.

My heart started racing!
At this moment, everyone is eagerly anticipating the outcome they most desire!
At that very moment...

The director then switched the camera to what was behind Mr. Chen Guangrong!

It also directly gave Teacher Chen Guangrong the direction to move forward and the person he should go to!
We have to admit, the directors from the Organizing Committee who filmed this scene were really professional; they truly had a complete grasp of the traffic generation secrets!
Just before announcing the soloist, he specifically gave Shen Ming'en a close-up shot, like a "hint," which almost scared the itchy-nosed guys and those trolls in the tea room...

Now, even though the camera has shown the direction Chen Guangrong is heading and the person he is going to, it hasn't shown a clear image directly, but instead...

The image is out of focus and blurry.

In the scene, a tall, young, and handsome man dressed in white slowly stands up, takes off his white coat at a leisurely pace, and hands it to a girl in a sparkly dress next to him.

And when I saw that scene...

Even if that scene is blurry and indistinct!
【oh!!!!!】

【Ah ah ah ah ah! ! ! 】

Your mom! Your mom!

In the adjacent online live stream, among the tens of millions of viewers, almost all of Shen Ming'en's fans and casual viewers who had a good impression of him instantly erupted in excitement!

At that moment, the buzz and the level of discussion exploded almost instantly, like a ticking time bomb!
The bullet comments and comment sections went completely crazy at that moment!
[Shen Ming'en! That's Shen Ming'en!]

[Don't even mention it being out of focus, I'd still recognize this kid even if he were ashes!]

[Haha... Ahaha... Hahaha! A plot twist! A plot twist my ass!]

[You haters, didn't expect that, did you? Didn't expect a plot twist, did you?]

[The head coach is warming up, can you handle that?!]

So, who really got slapped in the face this time? Who's really upset?

[Hahahaha... I knew our Emperor Ming En never lies!]

[Oh my god! They're really bad! They actually pulled this kind of stunt, hahaha...]

[I just said the host didn't explicitly announce the singer! I knew it!]

[So it turns out Mr. Chen Guangrong was just here to hand over the microphone, hahaha...]

I have every reason to suspect that Shen Ming'en did this on purpose!

【Ahhh! This scene looks so familiar!】

……

That looks familiar...

How familiar it looks!

You said that this blurry, out-of-focus image of a young man slowly standing up in Chen Guangrong's forward-looking perspective is so similar to the figure "turning his back to everyone" at the Great Wall, before the chorus, during the official recording of the "Beijing Welcomes You" MV a few days ago!

Although the visuals are different, the feeling is surprisingly consistent!

At this moment, the two figures seemed to have "overlapped" together!

Yes……

Indeed! Perhaps, at this moment, that figure is still blurry, and the director is still leaving everyone in suspense...

But that figure, from its silhouette, its clothing, and so on, was unmistakably Shen Ming'en!

Shen Mingen is incredibly popular, enjoying immense fame in the Chinese entertainment industry. Whether you love him, hate him, or are just a casual observer, everyone has a deep impression of him!
Even if they couldn't recognize Shen Mingen, surely they could recognize Yao Shuli, who was sitting next to him and keeping his coat safe!
Would Yao Shuli really sit next to another man?!
If the shot of Shen Ming'en given by the director before the host announced the soloist was just a "hint," then now...

That's a blatant "indication"!
"Fuck..."

"艹 (a type of plant)..."

"This……"

Over at the teahouse, those people with itchy noses never imagined that they would actually...

They're popping champagne at halftime again!
No...

This plot twist is so weird and outrageous!
that is……

Who the hell designed this plot?!
Even when the host announced the soloist list just now, and directly announced that it was Shen Ming'en, we weren't this shocked!
You let Mr. Chen Guangrong come on stage first, making everyone think it was Mr. Chen Guangrong, and then instead of singing, you... handed him the microphone?
Is this even a plot that a human could conceive?!

You're pulling a fast one now?!
Have you considered our feelings?
It's fair to say that the group of itchy-nosed people in the mob teahouse really had a rollercoaster ride!

This up-and-down motion, this damn broken thing!

Are you deliberately trying to torture me?!

Howling!
The people in the tea room with itchy noses really want to scream!!!

It's not just them...

The same goes for the little black guys!

Zhou Chujian, that old bastard, was even more so on the scene!

"Here……"

If Zhou Chujian was still somewhat unsure when he saw Shen Mingen stand up and take off his clothes, revealing his performance costume underneath, he was just suspicious...

So when we saw that when Teacher Chen Guangrong passed by the center of the stage, he not only didn't stop or pause, but instead slowly walked towards Shen Ming'en...

He was completely dumbfounded!

That's absolutely insane!

No...

How could it really be that damn Shen Ming'en?!
The person who most wanted to roar to the heavens at the scene was undoubtedly Zhou Chujian.

But if you're talking about people who were shocked, he wasn't the only one...

At the scene, almost everyone, whether ordinary audience members or superstars of the Chinese music scene, stared wide-eyed, covered their mouths, and looked at this scene in disbelief.

Among them were old acquaintances of Shen Mingen, such as Zheng Yun and Hua Zichen, who hadn't gotten along with Shen Mingen before participating in "Chinese Music Awards"...

They had originally intended to laugh at Shen Ming'en, but when they saw this honor bestowed upon him at this moment...

Those facial expressions were absolutely hilarious!
But not everyone can't stand Shen Ming'en...

"Oh!!!"

Many audience members cheered, and some singers, such as Yehenala Yingzi, who also participated in the "Peak Singer Challenge" and admired Shen Mingen, applauded for him.

And so, under the watchful eyes that held both congratulations and envy...

Shen Ming'en took off his performance costume and said to Zhou Chujian, who was standing next to him, "Teacher Zhou, let's talk later."

Say it.

Shen Ming'en strode up the steps and onto the stage.

At that moment, Teacher Chen Guangrong happened to arrive. He raised his hand and very naturally handed the microphone to Shen Ming'en.

Shen Ming'en naturally reached out and took it, smiling as he greeted Teacher Chen. The two nodded to each other and passed by, their figures intersecting.
One walked onto the stage, while the other sat in Shen Ming'en's original seat.

It was as if all of this had been rehearsed countless times in advance!
It was at the very moment their figures crossed paths!
In the live feed, Shen Ming'en's face suddenly became clear and in focus!
At the same time, the host's voice came through the speakers again:

"Let's welcome Shen Ming'en!"

"Here's his award-winning song: 'Thousands of Mountains and Rivers'!"

"welcome!"

The moment the words fell!
"dudu~"

"Woo~"

A magnificent and powerful melody suddenly rang out, with strings, guzheng, piano, bass and other instruments playing in harmony!
The intro starts!
this time!

The soloist at the Imperial Ancestral Temple will never be anyone else again!

It could only be him, Shen Ming'en!

【Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!! !!! !!! ! ...

At that time, in the live stream room next door, fans practically filled the screen with comments, completely dominating the comment section!

It's him! It's him! It's definitely him! Our friend, Shen Ming'en!

[Shen Ming'en: I'll say it again, that year I had my hands in my pockets... Here we go!]

[I don't even know what an opponent is!!!]

[Invincible, unparalleled in strength!]

[I knew my brother couldn't possibly be absent from the Olympics!]

[Haha... I thought my brother only sang the theme song for "Beijing Welcomes You" the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect he wrote another solo song!]

Now I understand why Shen Ming'en wasn't at the "Beijing Welcomes You" recording in the Forbidden City earlier; he was here to prepare for his performance!

On this day, half of the Chinese music scene sang "Beijing Welcomes You" together in the Forbidden City, while the other half sang "Thousands of Mountains and Rivers" solo at the Imperial Ancestral Temple!

What exactly does "value" mean?

I'll say it again: Emperor Ming'en, unparalleled throughout eternity!

[Shout with me! At the pinnacle of immortality, reign supreme! With Ming'en as my witness, the heavens will stand!!!!]

……

"Through countless mountains and rivers, through countless dark nights, I await the arrival of a bright moon."

"On the edge of dreams, the wind cannot extinguish them, and they never tire."

"The East is without shame!"

"Who's number one!"

Let us strive for perfection!

"My stance is firm: face north!"

"A thunderclap out of nowhere!"

……

As always, the song "Thousands of Mountains and Rivers" is both popular and catchy. Combining traditional Chinese style with pop music, Shen Ming'en captured everyone's hearts as soon as he opened the door!

"The East is worthy of the title, who is number one?" This lyric perfectly captures the national pride, while the line "With a resolute attitude facing north, a thunderclap from the ground" carries the beautiful meaning of national unity!

It has to be said that there's a reason why this song won an award and was selected as the only solo song among the two promotional theme songs!

And it was at that very moment...

It was also at the very moment that Shen Ming'en actually began to sing!
The little black guys were completely desperate!
The hearts of that rabble in the teahouse were hanging in suspense, absolutely suspenseful!

Zhou Chujian?
Ha, sitting there with an itchy nose, he looks like he has no will to live!
To be honest, Zhou Chujian really wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear right now...

It's worth noting that tonight, before Shen Mingen participated in the official performance of "Beijing Welcomes You" in the Forbidden City, when he arrived at the Imperial Ancestral Temple, before Chen Guangrong came on stage and Shen Mingen went on stage, he had already taken advantage of Shen Mingen's misfortune...

At that moment, all the ridicule and the "kicking someone when they're down" felt like one huge slap after another, landing hard on his face!
Boomerang!

Right between the eyebrows!

How could Zhou Chujian not break down?!

Every line Shen Mingen sang felt like a slap across his face!

To be honest, Zhou Chujian was also incredibly frustrated. He felt like he was just unlucky. If it weren't for the Olympics, he probably would have realized that Shen Ming'en might be the singer...

Because it was the Olympic Games, the songs were pre-recorded and lip-synced on stage, so Shen Ming'en didn't wear any performance equipment or in-ear monitors!

It was precisely because he didn't have these things, and only had a performance costume, that Zhou Chujian didn't think he was the soloist at the Imperial Ancestral Temple and was just bluffing!
Honestly, Zhou Chujian doesn't even dare to look up at Shen Mingen now, for fear of making eye contact and feeling embarrassed!

To be honest, Zhou Chujian was really overthinking it...

At this moment, Shen Ming'en had no time to look at him, much less to confront those trolls and the behind-the-scenes capital.

What occasion is it now?
It's a live performance of the Olympic promotional theme song!
For such a significant international event, nothing is more important than putting on a good show!
What the hell is this about Zhou Chujian, the behind-the-scenes capital, and Xiao Heizi...?

If Shen Mingen were so narrow-minded as to only care about them on a occasion like today, then Shen Mingen wouldn't deserve to have come this far!

When it comes to matters of national importance, what kind of clowns are they?

They deserve it too!

……

"Be prepared this time!"

"Never retreat after the start!"

"It feels so good to work together!"

"We have the same opportunity!!!"

……

The song title "Thousands of Mountains and Rivers" is a metaphor for the hardships faced by the Chinese people, as the saying goes, "A light boat has already passed ten thousand mountains." Both our great motherland and the Olympic athletes participating in the Olympics have had a very difficult journey!
Every Olympic athlete has worked tirelessly day and night to train and hone their skills, finally enabling them to stand on such a world-class stage and win glory for their country!

The inspirational elements in the song perfectly align with this spirit!

During the chorus, Shen Ming'en was even more well-prepared, waving his hands and singing loudly:

……

"Dreams come with tears and salty sweat!"

"We live in the same world, and love transcends it!"

"Dreams and hopes are taking flight, and I'm going to chase them!"

"Having a goal makes you feel less tired; just wait for me to surpass it!"

……
