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

Chapter 183 The Humanistic Underlying Principles of Collectivism! The Known Ending!

"Hailuo yiluo heluo he~"

"Hailuo yiluo heluo he~"

"Hailuo yiluo heiluo yiluo heiluo~"

"I love my China!"

……

Shen Ming'en brought out the characteristics of classic Southwest ethnic minority music to the fullest in his singing. For example, the starting note of "Love My China" quickly climbed from the low range to the high range, which was like a shout and a song of joy, with its own "emotional tension"!
At the same time, the melody line is simple and straightforward, without complicated modulations or embellishments, like a colloquial aria, which lowers the barrier to singing!
Whether it's children or the elderly, everyone can quickly memorize and sing along naturally. This "auditory-friendly" quality gives the song the potential for "universal dissemination" and makes the word "brainwashing" come to the fullest!

have to say!

After listening to the entire verse of Shen Ming'en's "Love My China" once, the audience's praise for his work was simply too high!
Regardless of whether one has good or bad taste in music, and regardless of whether everyone has different tastes, no one with ears would dare to say that this song is "not good"!

And such an effect...

In just one moment, those people backstage who couldn't stand to see Shen Ming'en doing well were no longer able to laugh!
When the camera panned across the backstage singers during the live stream of "Chinese Music Awards: Red Song Season", you would find that those who were full of anticipation before Shen Ming'en started singing now had no smiles on their faces at all!

It's as if they were born without the habit of smiling!
"My goodness..." one of the musicians couldn't help but exclaim, "How did you come up with this melody? I just can't think of it!"

yes……

Shen Ming'en's songs are not only known for their great lyrics and incredible popularity, but his composition skills are also top-notch.

So far, all of his works have been widely sung. Even those in the Chinese entertainment industry who don't follow him, have never heard of him, or even know what works he has, will subconsciously sing along the moment his songs are played.

All of this is based on his terrifying "composition ability"!

Putting everything else aside, just look at his performances in the first three rounds of this show...

The first round of "One Two Three Four Song" still evokes the lyrics in the minds of audiences: "One two three four, one two three four, like a song, the green barracks, the green barracks taught me..."

The second round of "Returning from Target Practice" even brings to mind lines like "The sun sets in the west, the red clouds fly, the soldiers return to camp after target practice~".

I thought Shen Ming'en would be weak in the third round, but wow, his song "Love My China" and the first line of the lyrics, "Fifty-six constellations, fifty-six flowers, fifty-six ethnic groups, brothers and sisters are one family," pierced the ears of all the listeners like steel needles!

Just tell me how terrifying he is!

The closer you are to his peers, the more you know how terrifying he is, and the more you envy his "extraordinary talent"!

Not only these mainstream singers realized this, but the veteran Yue Huochuan was no exception. At that moment, a look of dejection appeared on Yue Huochuan's face. To be honest, after this performance, his confidence was almost crushed by Shen Ming'en. He felt that this person was completely invincible!
The singers backstage looked terrible, but do you think Haji Ling and Xu Jiajia looked good?

"Snapped……"

Xu Jiajia raised her slender, fair hand and slapped it on her forehead. She squinted and made a headache face, and looked at her manager beside her as if to say, "Damn, how is he still so strong?"
"Who the hell knows..." The manager was also a little angry at this moment. After three rounds, the competition was halfway through, and Shen Mingen's performance in every game gave people a feeling of "flawlessness".

You could say he's now in his area of ​​expertise, but even if he is, how could he possibly remain so resilient in the face of a relentless onslaught of mainstream Chinese entertainment works that dominate half the market?

The first two rounds were already outrageous enough, but this one was even more ruthless. The opening lightning strike shattered their Dao heart to pieces with just one line of lyrics!

Xu Jiajia and her manager glanced at Shen Mingen's manager, Ha Jiling, out of the corner of their eyes. To be honest, both of them felt a little guilty at that moment and didn't dare to look at Ha Jiling...

Why?

Just before the performance, Hajiling came over and kept saying that they should launch a surprise attack on Shen Ming'en in the final round, as if she was afraid that Shen Ming'en would have been eliminated by them long ago...

The results of it?
As a result, Shen Mingen's performance can now be described as "flawless"!

As a result, even if Hajiling hadn't come, they wouldn't have dared to launch a surprise attack on Shen Ming'en...

It felt like Ma Ling's visit was completely unnecessary!

At this point, not only them, but even Hajiling herself felt that her visit was unnecessary...

But the problem is, she really didn't expect Shen Mingen to be so strong in the third round!
To be honest, Ma Ling has really overestimated Shen Ming'en...

She didn't even expect Shen Ming'en's performance to decline in the third round. She thought he would gradually enter a period of fatigue and decline in the third, fourth, and fifth rounds...

The results of it?
In the third round, he was "reborn"!

Everyone thought that Emperor Ming'en was doomed in his later years, covered in red hair and about to be ruined, but he somehow managed to live a second spring!

With this song, "Love My China," tell me, what do you think they have to use to eliminate him?!
Meanwhile, Shen Ming'en on stage continued to sing.

……

"Fifty-six constellations, fifty-six flowers~"

"We are one family, consisting of all 56 ethnic groups!"

"Fifty-six languages, all summed up in one sentence!"

"I love China! I love China! I love China!"

……

Repeating that incredibly catchy aria, perhaps because he had taken good care of himself last week, even though he had just come from the "Peak Singer Challenge" all night yesterday, Shen Ming'en gave off an excellent feeling tonight. Not only did his performance show no signs of fatigue, but his overall energy was also on the rise!
Just as popular as Shen Ming'en on stage were the "masters" in the comments section, who were actively commenting and sharing!

[Ugh! I can't take it anymore! Class, start class!]

Hello, teacher!

Hello, students!

【Please sit down, students!】

Music students, tell me, what is the underlying meaning of Shen Ming'en's piece?

[I'll be the teacher, I'll be the teacher!]

Okay! You, the student who didn't get a seat, come sit down!

In terms of rhythm, Shen Ming'en's work adopts a 2/4 march style, with alternating strong and weak beats creating a sense of "progress," which, combined with the lyrics, transforms "patriotism" from a static emotion into dynamic action.

Unlike the solemnity and weight of traditional marches, this song incorporates the lighthearted qualities of folk dance music, especially the repetition in the chorus, which resembles a "call" in a group dance. It maintains seriousness while retaining a lively feel; this "balance of strength and gentleness" in the rhythm frees "patriotism" from its heaviness, making it light and powerful!

[Great! Excellent! This student's answer is fantastic! But the teacher feels there's room for improvement. Who would like to add something?!]

【Me! Me! Ahhh!】

[Hey, you loud-voiced student, come here!]

[My turn! Finally, my turn! What I want to talk about is Shen Ming'en's subtle use of "traditional musical instruments" in this song!]

The melody of this song subtly incorporates the silvery logic of the lusheng and bamboo flute, while the rhythm evokes the movements of the traditional Chinese dances, the zaitang and guozhuang. However, it doesn't overtly emphasize "ethnic labels," but rather transforms these elements into a universal musical language! This balance between "ethnicity" and "universality" allows listeners from different ethnic backgrounds to find familiarity in the melody while simultaneously sensing that "this is a song belonging to all Chinese people!"

[It can be said that this is a work with very profound emotions and cultural roots!]

……

"...Can you fucking turn off the comments?!"

Backstage, Hajiling watched as these "masters" praised Shen Ming'en's work one after another, and she was so angry that her nose almost crooked. She couldn't help but shout at the staff not far away.

You think they're not troublesome enough already?!
Not far away, staff members suppressed their laughter and turned off the live chat...

I have to say, there are so many talented people on the internet these days!

……

"I love my China!"

"Athletes, rise up and stride forward!"

"I love my China!"

"Build our country!"

"I love my China!"

"China stands tall and proud!"

"I love my China!"

……

The soaring vocals, the majestic and powerful melodies, the unique aura of revolutionary songs, and the catchy tunes!
As the performance ended, Shen Ming'en's song "Love My China" was almost completely imprinted in the minds of every audience member!

"Love My China" is a song created by Shen Ming'en for the third round of the "August 1st Theme" of the Chinese Music Awards' Red Song Season, which focuses on "collectivism." This song's interpretation of collectivism does not emphasize "absolute obedience of the individual to the collective," but rather showcases the humanistic essence of collectivism through the warmth of "family," the value of "common struggle," and the inclusiveness of diversity within unity.
The collective exists to protect the happiness of individuals, and the contributions of individuals are to make the collective stronger!
The two are each other's ends and means!

This kind of expression allows the "collective" to move from an abstract "grand narrative" to a living community that every individual can perceive, participate in, and benefit from, and also allows the spirit of collectivism to gain lasting vitality in cultural transmission!
In essence, the classic status of this song lies in the fact that it answers the core question of collectivism with the simplest language and melody!

Who are we? What are we working together for?

And the answer always points to one consensus!
"The value of an individual always shines through in symbiosis with the collective!"

This is collectivism!

"Oh!!!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

After the performance, the audience went absolutely wild as they grasped the core essence of Shen Ming'en's work!
Even though it's already the third round, the audience seems to have an even more "golden voice" than the singers, with each wave of cheers stronger than the last, almost drowning out the entire studio!
"China! I love China!!!"

In the control room, when Shen Ming'en finished singing, even the eccentric Director Niu cheered along.

happy!

Director Niu is really happy!

It's a three-wheeled vehicle!
Shen Ming'en has successfully survived three rounds!
Although the results of the third round of voting have not yet been announced, just based on the quality of Shen Ming'en's "Love My China," it would be an easy task for him to get first place in the voting!
Many of the production crew members on set also looked happy. Having filmed the show together until today, everyone really hoped that Shen Mingen would continue, and that's exactly what he did!
Offline, the production team and the audience were cheering non-stop!

The same thing happens in the online live streaming room!
The comments section was flooded with:
[Ahhh! Emperor Ming'en has lived a second life!]

This is clearly the third incarnation!

[An elixir of immortality!]

Who says the human race has no emperors!

So what if he's covered in red hair?! So what if his later years are bleak?!

【Ahhh, resurrect me! My love!】

[Wait, did the person upstairs wander into the wrong movie set?]

……

This is already the third round...

Actually, starting from the end of the second round, many people had already begun to worry about Shen Ming'en and were holding their breath for him.

After all, in the past, each episode of "Chinese Music Awards: Red Song Season" had a maximum of two rounds of competition. In everyone's eyes, it was already quite remarkable that Shen Ming'en, who relied solely on himself without seeking outside help, could last for two rounds in the show. After two rounds, everyone, like Haji Ling, felt that Shen Ming'en was going downhill and entering a period of fatigue...

As a result, he not only didn't decline, but instead continued to rise sharply and aggressively!

There was absolutely no sign of dejection!
The works in the third round were not only as good as those in the first two rounds, but even better!

Tell me, how could his fans and viewers not be happy and excited!

People's joys and sorrows seem to be completely uncommon. Every time the fans and audience supporting Shen Ming'en are happy, excited, and cheering, the singers backstage don't look so pleased...

"Teachers..."

As Shen Ming'en's performance ended, backstage staff ran to the communal dressing room to announce:

"Get ready to go up and see the voting results."

To be honest, the expressions on the faces of those guests weren't very pleasant when they heard this...

At first, very few people stood up and walked out.

Why?

Are they unwilling to leave?
Or is it because you've been sitting for too long and can't stand up?
No no no...

neither!
The reason they didn't leave was simply because they really didn't want to see a "known ending"!

It's really frustrating to admit. This is the third round already, and every time the production team asks them to go on stage after Shen Ming'en's performance, they feel reluctant to go...

They all knew that even if they went up there, they wouldn't be a match for Shen Ming'en.

Yes, the voting results haven't been announced yet, but who says they're all dark horses just because the outcome is still uncertain?

With Shen Ming'en around, even if the situation is still uncertain, they can only be treated like cattle and horses!
And the voting results at the scene were indeed no surprise to them...
