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

Chapter 153: Is it being used for profit? The copyright transfer agreement is here! Copyright handed over! Disagree? Let's debate!

"..."

The tea room was quiet and silent. There was not a sound, not even the sound of water being poured or the kettle boiling. The teacups in front of everyone were empty. Mr. Qin, who was in charge of brewing the tea, raised his hand to his forehead, looking like he had a headache and constipation. He sat there without saying a word.

moment……

"puff……"

The woman in the suit, Ms. Liu, inexplicably let out a sound that she couldn't help but chuckle.

Mr. Ma: "(╬￣皿￣)"

A howl?
Scream your mother!
Is it a good whistling sound?

"Pfft... Sorry, I've been professionally trained and I don't usually laugh, unless..." Looking at Mr. Ma's expression, Ms. Liu, the woman in the suit, found it inexplicably funny, and finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Pfft... unless I can't help but laugh out loud..."

Her smile almost made the white-haired Mr. Li beside her lose his composure. The funny thing was, not only did Ms. Liu laugh, but she also added insult to injury, saying with a hearty laugh:

"No, what were you thinking? How could you agree to let him wear a mask during the interview?"

"And Mr. Ma, why did you have to peel off someone's mask when you had nothing better to do?"

"We spent 30 million to hire Shen Ming'en for an interview, giving him the opportunity to expose his identity and shock the entire internet..."

"You guys brought this on yourselves, hahaha..."

Not anymore!
After listening to the explanation from General Manager Ma and General Manager Qin, General Manager Liu really thought through all the saddest things in his life, but he still couldn't suppress the crazy upward curve of his lips!

What kind of mess is this?!

They were trying to divert some of Shen Mingen's attention and shift public focus, but instead of achieving their goal, they ended up giving Shen Mingen an unexpected windfall!
President Liu really didn't know what to say about them!
If any one of the things they did had gone wrong—for example, if they hadn't agreed to let him wear the mask, or if they hadn't specifically asked him to take it off—then none of this would have led to the current situation...

But by sheer coincidence, they inadvertently gave Shen Ming'en an opportunity!
Just tell me how despicable you are!
Shouldn't people like this be kicked when they're down and ridiculed?
"Squeak..."

Mr. Ma was so angry he felt like grinding his teeth to powder, but in the end he didn't dare to vent his anger, after all...

Just as President Liu said, he is really shameless. Even President Qin clearly said that day that everything was because of his "shamelessness". Although Lin Bei and President Li did not say it, they probably thought so too. How could he refute it?

Look at President Qin, even though they were about to start arguing, he didn't show any sign of interrupting...

The attitude has been made very clear!

Mr. Ma knows he has a lot to blame, but the problem is...

"Who the hell knew that kid was the creator of 'Beijing Welcomes You'? You guys didn't expect it either, did you?!"

He gritted his teeth, looked at General Manager Liu, and said:
"You're laughing so happily, could it be that you planned this beforehand without telling us, waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves?"

"I..." President Liu's laughter stopped abruptly, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and say, "Don't be so desperate as to bite people randomly. How could I possibly know in advance?!"

"Then why are you laughing so happily? Is there something good for you about this?" Mr. Ma shouted angrily.

"I'm not trying to be mean..." President Liu was so angry that he couldn't help but curse.

fight.

The fight is finally about to begin!
Let's fight!

Pulling hair!
Damn it!!!

"boom!"

The dull thud of a hand striking the wooden table echoed in the room, abruptly silencing Mr. Ma and Mr. Liu's cursing. When everyone looked over, they saw Mr. Qin staring at them with a "calm" expression, saying in a low voice:
"do not talk."

Although President Qin tried his best to appear calm in both his expression and tone, everyone in the tea room felt a strong sense of oppression and sensed the raging anger behind that calm demeanor.

This matter wasn't just spearheaded by President Ma; President Qin was also involved, and several others present helped to create momentum. President Liu's mockery now isn't just directed at President Ma; every single one of them has been mocked. It would be strange if President Qin wasn't angry.

The woman in the suit might disrespect Mr. Ma, but she couldn't disrespect Mr. Qin. However, she was still somewhat resentful, and couldn't help but mention it:
"Now it seems that Feng Yucan was the bait that Shen Ming'en planted for us. President Qin, if I remember correctly, you mentioned that he was a contracted artist of one of your small companies, right?"

Her meaning was quite clear: they should teach whoever needed to be taught a lesson. That kid fooled them, and they should teach him a lesson if they didn't. Did he really think they were easy to mess with?
Has the behind-the-scenes capital in China's entertainment industry truly become a clawless puppet?!

Upon hearing this, President Qin's facial expression changed slightly, his lips twitched slightly, and his jaw muscles twitched, clearly indicating that he was gritting his teeth. After a moment, he said:

"His contract is about to expire, and this morning he just told the company he didn't want to renew it. It seems he's planning to start his own studio..."

As soon as this statement came out...

"..."

Everyone fell silent again.

Well, this was planned all along!

Shen Ming'en really did plan this in advance!

This is absolutely outrageous! It's too much!
The way everyone looked at President Qin was somewhat complicated; to be honest, they were all a little hesitant to believe him...

President Qin was also aware that he had made a huge mistake and bore a great deal of responsibility in this matter, so he simply stopped discussing it and changed the subject:

"Since it has already happened, let's find a solution and try to make amends. There's no point in tearing each other apart here."

"...What other solutions are there?" Lin Bei, who had been silently watching the show, finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up: "We acted as a facilitator, directly sending Shen Ming'en to the top. Now, at this critical juncture, what way can we make amends?"

As mentioned before, when an artist is at the peak of their career, it's very difficult to stir up trouble and smear them. Even they could only try to divert attention and reduce Shen Ming'en's popularity by diverting public attention...

Now, just as the impact of Shen Mingen's opening ceremony theme song "Me and You" has subsided, they've jumped on the bandwagon of "identity revelation" to generate buzz for him...

When everyone realized that Shen Ming'en was none other than Shen Jichou, the composer of "Beijing Welcomes You," when everyone knew that he had composed three Olympic theme songs, when everyone was utterly astonished...

How else can you make amends?!
To put it bluntly, this is something that can't be fixed. You can only watch him "ascend to heaven in broad daylight"!

However, President Qin had a different opinion on this...

Turning to look at President Ma, President Qin asked, "President Ma, what were those topics your company used to smear Shen Ming'en a while ago?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ma was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Mr. Qin to suddenly bring this up. His eyes darted around, and after a moment of thought, he said, "One is bragging, the other is..."

Another claim is that Shen Ming'en "profited from mainstream works."

Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Ma seemed to have realized the same thing. For a moment, he was stunned, and then...

"I go……"

His eyes widened instantly!

A look of surprise appeared on his round, greasy face. He slapped his thighs hard, looked up at President Qin with a gleam in his eyes, and shouted:

"Dear President Qin, you are truly a genius!"

yes……

The two topics their company previously stirred up were: first, that Shen Mingen was bragging, that he didn't actually write all three Olympic theme songs, that he composed "Thousands of Mountains and Rivers" and "Me and You" at most, and that he participated in singing "Beijing Welcomes You," and that wasn't bragging.
But now, this point has been overturned. With the exposure of Shen Ming'en's pen name "Shen Jichou," it is clear that he indeed "sold" all three Olympic theme songs, and no one can refute this, so it can no longer be used to stir up trouble...

But the second topic was different!

The topic of "profiting from mainstream works" is something that no matter how many mainstream works Shen Ming'en creates, how popular they are, or how much his fans praise him...

All!
anyway!

One thing that cannot be refuted!

As long as his mainstream works can bring him income, as long as he can gain considerable traffic, popularity, attention, and discussion through these works...

So this thing, which was almost a "crime," was truly engraved on Haji'en's body, like a blue mark on pork, which could not be washed away no matter what!
It may indeed be difficult to directly cause his downfall, but as long as it can create some obstacles for him, as long as it can temporarily pull him down from the "altar" at the top of the pyramid where he is now, that will be enough!

These capitalists are content with just venting their anger!
To be honest, this Mr. Ma is indeed someone who specializes in this kind of thing; he understood it as soon as Mr. Qin mentioned it!

Since we can't set the pace for Olympic-related theme songs right now, let's set the pace for this big one!
Hajime, haven't you always become popular by singing patriotic songs? Are you trying to get on the coattails of the official platform?
Now I'll cut off those two filthy dog ​​paws of yours, so you won't even be able to grab the official daddy's pants leg anymore, let alone cling to him!

It's safe to say that once this "crime" is confirmed, it's uncertain whether Shen Ming'en can maintain his current popularity or continue to gain popularity through patriotic works.
Once this trend starts, it's like weeds, springing up again with the spring breeze, never going out. Even if the hype is suppressed for a short period, as long as the person has negative news, it will definitely be mentioned again after a while.

all in all!
Setting this trend is entirely beneficial to them!
"it is good!"

The white-haired CEO Li and the woman in a suit, Ms. Liu, standing nearby, couldn't help but raise their hands and applaud the brilliant plan. Even Lin Bei couldn't think of any way to resist Shen Ming'en after being labeled with such a "hat".

can only say……

If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext!

That's all...

They began frantically and rapidly fabricating this accusation of "profiting from mainstream works" and quickly spreading it through major social media platforms on the internet, attempting to pin it on Shen Ming'en!

That day...

While the hashtag "#Shen Ming'en is Shen Jichou, the creator of 'Beijing Welcomes You'!" was still trending on various platforms and being talked about by countless netizens...

The comments section was initially filled with shocked remarks:
[What?! Shen Ming'en is Teacher Shen Jichou?!]

[Wow, so does that mean he really did sing all three Olympic theme songs?!]

[This is terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!]

[Hahaha! My brother's really turned things around now! Let's see what those trolls have to say now!]

[Hakeem: I'll say it again, that year I had my hands in my pockets...]

[Don't you know what an opponent is?]

Alright, that's enough, bro. Pack your bags, get ready to level up after the Olympic performance!

[? He's getting promoted? Our brother is already standing at the top of the Chinese entertainment industry, looking down on everyone else!]

Shen Ming'en: How lonely it is to be invincible! How empty it is to be invincible!

Alone in the cold wind!

...Everything was peaceful at the time, and everyone was shocked by the news, yet also happy for Shen Ming'en...

Online, a whole bunch of trolls suddenly appeared out of nowhere, spamming the comments section with all sorts of nonsense:
Ha, just a guy profiting from mainstream propaganda...

In my opinion, he's simply profited from the popularity of revolutionary songs; he sees money to be made, so he's continuing down this path!

[I'm just curious and puzzled. He's just writing this type of work to make money, so what's so great about it?]

[They make money off this stuff, and you guys actually believe it? Do you really think your 'geigei' is so patriotic?]

I have some early videos of Shen Ming'en's remarks here. Those interested, please...

Profiting from patriotic works is the most shameful thing imaginable; people like Shen Ming'en should be despised!

……

To be honest, these trolls have really gone all out. Someone even fabricated some "early statements" of Shen Ming'en online, such as creating an account with a similar profile picture and nickname to his early personal account and having him chat with others about sensitive topics to spread rumors...

Then it started going viral online!
They're very clever, especially when it comes to setting the tone for topics related to "Yuanzi"!

Money...

Money, at any time, is a huge troublemaker.

In interpersonal relationships, even the best relationships, even those with family members, can turn into enmity because of money.

In this world, anything that involves money becomes anything but simple.

Take Shen Ming'en, for example. He was originally a "red song spokesperson," praising the motherland, the People's Liberation Army, and everyone in Shenmian who silently contributed to our cause...

But as soon as money is involved, people will say that they are "profiting from mainstream works"!
Rather...

Fans find it difficult to refute this kind of topic.

After all, regardless of the circumstances, Shen Ming'en's "Sparrow Food" quickly gained popularity through mainstream works, and also garnered immense attention, traffic, and buzz because of these mainstream works...

It can be said that Shen Ming'en's success today is entirely due to mainstream works.

It's fine to stop people from saying that, unless Shen Ming'en stops releasing mainstream works, or uses all the proceeds from such works for charity or donations...

Otherwise, he would have no way to refute this kind of topic.

It's quite interesting...

This topic had been discussed before, but it wasn't very popular and didn't attract much attention. At that time, everyone's attention was focused on Olympic-related topics, so these discussions were largely ignored.

But this time, the momentum has only grown stronger!

It even caused a stir and made it to several trending topics...

This sudden turn of events caught many fans off guard, leaving them somewhat at a loss for words...

Are you suggesting they make their Geigei donate all the coins they've earned from mainstream works so far?

It's not that they don't trust Shen Ming'en; it's that they know very well that it would be difficult for anyone to do that.

The allure of money is simply too great...

"Hehehe..."

Looking at the news online, Mr. Ma was quite happy; it has to be said that they were very satisfied with this situation.

Right now, this so-called "profiting from revolutionary songs" is just a seed. Perhaps this time, as long as Shen Ming'en doesn't respond and adopts a "cold treatment," he can get through it peacefully. But as long as he continues to create mainstream works, they can always stir up this kind of rhetoric...

The internet has a long memory; the seed of "profiting from mainstream works" has already been planted in the minds of the audience, and it can be awakened at any time in the future.

This is definitely a long-lasting blow to Shen Ming'en.

To put it simply, it's like the kind of martial arts in fantasy novels that can leave hidden injuries, or something like... the Xuanming Divine Palm!
Yes, that thing, it can pop up at any time and hurt you at any moment, like a time bomb that will explode and take half your life.

To be honest, they really killed two birds with one stone this time...

On the one hand, it suppressed Shen Mingen's popularity and distorted his reputation; on the other hand, it planted a time bomb in him, which he could blow up whenever he wanted in the future. Just thinking about it makes me happy!

"What a triumphant moment!"

Mr. Ma was getting happier and happier as he read the comments online...

Just think about how much Shen Ming'en has "tortured" them during this time!

Ever since he got involved in Lin Bei's efforts to target Shen Mingen, he's been constantly driven to despair by Shen Mingen. These past few days of the Olympics, he's been so angry with Shen Mingen that his high blood pressure flared up...

A bunch of investors have been unable to do anything about this artist, and yesterday they even backfired by exposing the identity of Shen Jichou, the creator of "Beijing Welcomes You"!

That's so damn shameful!
it's good now……

just now!

at last!

They were finally able to turn the tables and pin Shen Ming'en to the ground, giving him a thorough beating!

It has to be said that this was the only "happy thing" they had in a long time.

Not only Mr. Ma, but also Mr. Qin, the "mastermind" behind the whole affair, truly breathed a sigh of relief...

All along, he has been the one who devised and designed all sorts of plans. Although he can always find various reasons to shirk responsibility, the fact that he has never been able to do anything about Shen Ming'en is an indisputable fact!

Things are different now...

it's good now!

Now, the point he's chosen to stir up trouble has even left Shen Ming'en's argumentative fans speechless!

Now, at least we can shut up that foul mouth of Shen Ming'en, the boss of Ruixing Entertainment, Lin Bei...

all in all……

At this moment.

Almost everyone who couldn't stand to see Shen Ming'en doing well was happy to see this happen.

People like Zhou Chujian, it's already a miracle he didn't kick them when they were down!
Even now, Zhou Chujian still gets furious when he recalls how Shen Mingen made things difficult for him during the recording of "Beijing Welcomes You"!
As they expected, despite the huge buzz online, Shen Ming'en remained silent for a long time...

The second day, the third day...

Three days have passed, and Shen Ming'en's side has not responded at all!

Shen Mingen does not have a personal work team, no assistant or agent to help refute rumors, so he can only respond on his own.

In the past, as a prominent figure in the Chinese entertainment industry, he would immediately retaliate against anyone who slandered him online; he was the type to take revenge without holding back overnight...

This time, even though he had been scolded for two or three days, Shen Ming'en still hadn't made any response.

His posts on Douyin, Weibo, Xiaohongshu, Zhihu, and other major platforms have been completely inactive.

Clearly, they adopted a "pretending to be indifferent" and "cold-blooded" attitude.

It's normal...

In fact, the right approach to dealing with such unfounded accusations is to "cool down." As Guo Degang once said, those who are wronging you know better than you how wronged you are. Fans generally feel that since nothing Shen Mingen says will make a difference in this situation, it's better to remain silent. After all, the internet is like a passing fad, and it will soon be over. Things move so fast these days...

What gives them something to say is that these little black-clad bastards who are showing their true colors just won't stop!
[Does not rebut mean they admit it?]

Many people in the comments section are saying:
[If he says he's profiting from patriotic works, then he is profiting; fans shouldn't try to defend him, it's undeniable!]

[The person in question has already admitted it, and you're still jumping around like this, hahaha...]

[Your Geigei isn't refusing to reply; she knows she's in the wrong and can't reply!]

[They even say the innocent are innocent... Have they ever considered that if the guilty are so corrupt they can't be innocent, they might as well just not let you see them?!]

Don't think this storm will pass quickly. I'll still curse him as much as I want; I'll curse him every time I see him!

……

Make things worse!

For no apparent reason, these haters started to escalate their attacks even further when Shen Ming'en didn't reply on the third day!

Behind this...

No need to look, there's definitely that Mr. Ma's shadow in there!

I don't know if this guy has been disgusted by Shen Mingen too much, or if he's been suppressing his feelings for too long, which has caused him to become somewhat twisted...

Having finally seized the opportunity to smear Shen Ming'en, they were bound to vent their anger.

But the problem is...

Is Shen Mingen really not replying?

Hehehe...

In his words, he now belongs to the category of "Let the bullets fly for a while!"

On the third night, the smear campaign reached its peak!
Shen Ming'en logged into his various social media platforms and immediately posted three pictures!

Title:

"All copyrights should be handed over to the state. If you disagree, come and argue!"

Those are three copyright transfer agreements!
