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

Chapter 197 Remember! Be grateful! Pay tribute!

The emotions that Shen Ming'en wanted to express in the work "Entering the New Era" are understood by the audience in the studio, by everyone in the online live broadcast room, and by every Chinese person.

There's really no need for those "experts" to analyze this piece; the online live stream was flooded with comments like these:
【pay tribute! 】

【grateful!】

Eternal glory to this great man!

……

The final topic for this round is "The Theme of Our Time." When this theme is mentioned, many people think of how fast our times are progressing and how prosperous people's lives are...

But who brought us such a wonderful era?

It is the hardworking people, the predecessors who sacrificed their lives for the country, and those great figures who have led us forward!
It is through everyone's joint efforts that we have created such a new era where we have no worries about food and drink and are constantly moving forward!
If you were to ask Shen Ming'en what he should do most as he enters the new era, he would definitely say "grateful."

Just like his name suggests, he always remembers the kindness of those who made sacrifices and contributions for them, and with that feeling, he continues to move forward with his head held high!
This is the kind of emotion that every Chinese person should have!

"..."

When Shen Ming'en finished singing, there was a brief silence in the studio.

Although the melody of his work is not sad, and can even be described as cheerful, many people still couldn't help but have tears welling up in their eyes after listening to the song, and were moved to tears.

Immediately afterwards...

"Clap clap clap..."

I don't know who started clapping first, but everyone else followed suit, and soon the entire studio was filled with applause.

"it is good!"

"Eternal glory to the great man!"

"grateful!"

"pay tribute!"

……

Amidst the enthusiastic atmosphere, Shen Ming'en bowed deeply to each audience member, expressing his satisfaction with this song, which was full of tribute and gratitude, as his last song on the "Chinese Music Awards" program.

At that time, in the online live broadcast room, after Shen Ming'en finished singing, the audience's attention finally returned to him.

At that time, many people in the online live stream were still commenting:
[Awesome! This run is definitely going to be a winner!]

[Wow, a bunch of investors designed five rounds of competition specifically to target Shen Ming'en. My brother added one more round, making it a total of six rounds, and he cleared them all!]

Haha... those capitalists are probably crying their eyes out now.

I'll say it again: Emperor Ming'en can't be eliminated by anyone!

……

Everyone knows about Shen Ming'en's relationship with those itchy capitalists, and everyone knows that after this round of five PKs, those capitalists will most likely be unable to do anything to Shen Ming'en in the short term.

Whether they were fans or supporters of Shen Mingen, they couldn't help but cheer and applaud for him at this moment.

At this point, the audience was unaware that Shen Mingen was about to leave the show, and Shen Mingen did not intend to tell the audience directly on set.

Sometimes, it really does feel like it's necessary to maintain a sense of mystery.

Next comes the standard procedure...

The host went on stage, called all the singers backstage, and announced the rankings for this round of performances.

In fact, this so-called "ranking" has long been meaningless, since even haters know that Shen Ming'en's "Entering the New Era" should definitely be ranked first.

The main reason everyone is staying here is to see how high Shen Ming'en's vote share is this round, and whether it will be higher than the previous round...

You should know that in the last round, Shen Ming'en broke his own record, getting more than 14 million votes in the online live broadcast room!
The subsequent voting results did not disappoint the audience...

In the initial offline audience vote, Shen Ming'en still passed with a 100% approval rating of 500 votes.

The online voting in the live stream was even more outrageous than before!

Data shows that Shen Ming'en received 20118765 votes in the online poll!

More than 20 million!

From over 14 million to nearly 20 million!

That's an exaggeration...

terror!
It's worth noting that the highest number of votes received by any of the other singers was only a little over 15 million!

Shen Ming'en crushed the highest number of votes, which exceeded five million!

Just tell me how exaggerated it is!

But how to put it...

The audience wasn't too surprised.

After all, it's not surprising that Shen Ming'en and his song "Entering the New Era" receive such high support and praise!
With the vote count announced, the show came to an end as expected.

The host was already going through the motions with his cue cards in hand, rapidly reciting the advertising lines that the director hadn't made him read before because Shen Ming'en was leaving the show. He was talking so fast his skin was practically raw...

It was already past eight in the morning. Almost all the audience members had stayed up all night watching the show. They were fine watching the performance the whole time, their spirits were high, but now that it was about to end, as soon as they relaxed, many of them started to droop their eyelids.

Many people in the offline live broadcast room were sleepy, and some didn't want to listen to the host rambling on anymore. If Shen Ming'en hadn't been there, they would have left long ago.

The chat in the online live stream was also flooded with messages:
I'm leaving, I'm not watching anymore, I'm sleepy...

Damn it, I pulled an all-nighter, no way I'm going to get any sleep. Time to get up and get back to work!

Another day at work! This B shift is so damn difficult to get anything done...

……

The show was about to end...

At this moment, someone suddenly raised a point, saying:

Brothers, have we forgotten someone?

Even after being reminded, many people didn't realize it and even asked, "Who did you forget?"

"That was the one who launched the surprise attack!" the brother said.

As soon as these words came out...

Many people were stunned...

then……

【puff……】

I'd completely forgotten about you, Jiajia!

Haha... I forgot about that too.

【No way, it's all over now, wasn't she going to launch a surprise attack?】

Even if we don't launch a surprise attack on Shen Ming'en, picking on an easy target would be nice, haha...

……

Xu Jiajia is arguably the biggest clown in this episode of "Chinese Music Awards: Red Song Season," without a doubt.

Before coming, they used Shen Mingen as a marketing tactic, making it seem like they were going to beat Shen Mingen. But after five rounds of competition and six performances, they didn't dare to come out for even one episode.

Aren't you just asking to be laughed at?

Xu Jiajia and her manager backstage were also extremely helpless when they saw this scene... It wasn't that they didn't want to launch a surprise attack, but on the one hand, Shen Mingen's performance in this round was too outrageous. Even if they launched a surprise attack, even if they had connections, the production team wouldn't dare to let them win.

On the other hand, the other singers actually performed quite well. The songs she prepared were even better than what the other singers dared to say. She couldn't even beat the easy targets...

So now, all we can do is pray that Shen Mingen really leaves the show and she takes his place.

Otherwise, she would definitely be destined to miss out on the popularity of "Chinese Music Awards: Red Song Season".

She definitely wants Shen Mingen to withdraw...

However, as the performance drew to a close, Shen Ming'en showed no intention of speaking openly to the audience. Director Niu, however, held a sliver of hope that, as Zhou Yang had suggested, Shen Ming'en was not truly planning to leave the show.

therefore……

After the recording ended and the cameras were turned off, while the staff were busy wrapping things up, Director Niu made a special trip to the dressing room, wondering if he should visit Shen Ming'en to offer his condolences and discuss the matter further with him.

But when he arrived at the lounge, he found it empty; Shen Ming'en was nowhere to be seen...

"Where is Shen Ming'en?" Director Niu asked.

"He's gone," the staff member said. "He didn't come back after the recording ended; he just took his things and left."

Because the show is filmed every week, Shen Mingen actually left a lot of things with the production team, including many snacks that he always ate before going on stage each episode...

But now, everything in his lounge is gone except for the snacks from the sponsors.

He took all his personal belongings with him.

Nothing was left...

At that moment, Director Niu was somewhat stunned, with a bad premonition in his mind, as if it had already come true.

And it was at this moment...

"director!"

Outside, a staff member rushed over, looking anxious and moving quickly, almost falling over in the process.

"...What's wrong with you panicking now?!" Director Niu's face contorted with rage.

Could it be another fire?!

"No... not..."

The staff member, panting heavily, pulled out his phone, unlocked it, and showed the photo to Director Niu. He said:

"Teacher Ming En posted on Weibo!"

"what?!"

Director Niu was stunned when he heard this...

I took the phone from the staff member and looked at it...

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, can finally rest.

The last glimmer of hope that Shen Mingen wouldn't leave the show was also shattered.

Yes, that's right. After the recording of the last episode of "Chinese Music Awards: Red Song Season" [August 1st Theme] ended, less than ten minutes after Shen Ming'en left the stage, he picked up his phone and posted a message he had edited.

The post consists of two photos. The first photo shows Shen Ming'en himself, wearing the casual clothes he wore when he went out for breakfast. He is wearing a gray baseball cap with the brim pulled low, covering his dark, tousled hair in front of his forehead. His striking features are very photogenic. He winks, smiles, and makes a peace sign, giving off a sunny and lively vibe.

The second photo looked somewhat familiar to Director Niu…

It was a photo of the end of a corridor. Inside the door was a dark, sunless corridor, pitch black all over, while outside the door was bright sunshine, creating a strong and stark contrast.

Almost every viewer of the "Chinese Music Awards" program would recognize that photo.

Because that was the exit of the studio where their program was being recorded.

It's a place that every member of the production crew passes through on their way to and from get off work.

The meaning behind this picture is already self-evident...

go away.

The image signifies departure, and the accompanying text makes no attempt to conceal this; Shen Ming'en explicitly states in the text:

"An ending is also a new beginning."

The copywriting is unabashedly carefree and optimistic. As a public figure, Shen Ming'en should be well aware of the kind of "debate" that such a post would provoke from those "great scholars".

And the way things escalated was indeed no surprise to anyone...

Almost within seconds of the post being published, the comment section below it started flooding with dozens, even hundreds, of comments per second!

【What do you mean? 】

What is this?!

Should I quit the show?!

[Seriously? We just finished recording, bro!]

[Damn, I just finished watching the show late at night and was thinking of checking the trending topics before going back to sleep when my brother dropped a bombshell on me!]

[Same as the person upstairs, I was just about to go to sleep, but this sudden shock woke me up and I'm not sleepy anymore!]

……

As one of the most popular and hottest celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry right now, and with the fifth round of performances of "Chinese Music Center: Red Song Season" just finished and the trending topics on the other side of the internet at a high level, Shen Ming'en's post immediately attracted an exaggerated reaction.

According to statistics, the post received over 100,000 comments in just one minute, and its views exceeded 100 million in just 10 minutes.

As more and more people came upon hearing the news, the popularity of this matter also increased, and within just over ten minutes of being released, it immediately topped the trending search list on various platforms!
#Shen Ming'en suspected of withdrawing from "Chinese Music Awards"!#

At first, many people didn't believe it, and some even commented, "That's impossible..."

Countless users across various platforms have been tagging Shen Ming'en, asking if he has really left the show.

Shen Mingen didn't shy away from the topic, replying to a fan's question that received many likes in the Weibo comments section:
"I am officially withdrawing from the 'Chinese Music Show Center' program starting today."

He didn't say anything hypocritical like "thank you for the encounter, I hope everything will be alright in the future, thank you to the production team" or other such nonsense.

For him, the production team should be the ones to thank. Without him, how could "Chinese Music Awards" have become such a phenomenal hit variety show?

Don't fucking say things like "mutual benefit," only an idiot would believe that.

He treated the production team fairly, but the production team may not have treated him fairly.

It's already quite good that he didn't curse at me before leaving, what more does Shen Ming'en want?

Unsurprisingly, Shen Ming'en's comment quickly garnered countless likes and shares from netizens...

In just one morning, all the fans and viewers who follow Shen Mingen knew about this!
Opinions are divided regarding Shen Mingen's departure from the show. Some say, "Brother, you've come so far, you were almost there, why did you leave?"

If you withdraw, wouldn't that be playing right into the hands of those capitalists?

Some people also said: "Good riddance! Biyang's show made so much money off my brother, but he didn't even mention giving back to him. How could my brother not leave?!"

[May the next show be even better, may the next show be even more well-behaved, may the next show be even more obedient!]

[A golden carp is no ordinary fish; it transforms into a dragon when it encounters favorable winds and clouds. Just wait and see, my brother's future looks very promising!]

Shen Mingen has always had a good public image, while "Chinese Music Awards" has always had a mediocre reputation. Therefore, strictly speaking, Shen Mingen's withdrawal will not have much impact on him, and fans and viewers respect his decision.

But this is definitely a big blow to the Chinese Music Awards...

And this is exactly what those capitalists in the West want!

Having left "Chinese Music Awards" and the biggest exposure, punishing Shen Ming'en will be a piece of cake!
