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

Chapter 209 Theme Song of the National Day Gala, "Raise Your Head in Triumph!"

In mid-to-late September, the wind already carried a hint of coolness. Even in Yunnan, a place known as "springtime all year round," you would feel shivering without a coat after sunset.

The recording of "A Journey Through Time" ended at around 11 p.m. The audience is always very genuine. Almost half an hour after the recording ended, the bustling village returned to its usual quiet.

All that remained were Yao Shuli, Wei Yu, and others who were "camping in place" here.

Yes, that's right. Yao Shuli's team lost again. After Yao Shuli was judged to have lost by the program team for going off-topic, her two teammates also sent messages on QQ Farm saying they were terrible at the game. As a result, the team basically lost all the games except for the two games that Shen Mingen won.

Kong Ze's team won with a best-of-five series and checked into a five-star hotel prepared by the production team, while Yao Shuli's team was once again forced to "camp out on the spot"...

"I thought she was so great, but after all that, she still lost and made us camp?" While setting up camp, Wei Yu sat on the rough stone slab and said with a look of disgust, "I think the only one who's great is Teacher Ming'en. Yao Shuli lost just the same way she was supposed to."

"...Shut up!" The manager couldn't help but roll her eyes and said bluntly, "Teacher Li was doing that for the greater good, what do you know!"

"...What about the big picture? You've all been corrupted by Dihua, haven't you?" Wei Yu rolled her eyes.

The two of them then started chirping crickets there.

Just then, an SUV drove into the director's campsite. The driver's side door opened, and a very familiar tall, thin figure got out of the car, took a small bag from the trunk, and then walked over to them.

The other person was dressed casually, wearing a hat and mask, covering themselves up completely, as if trying to "disguise themselves".

"Hey..."

Seeing this, the agent quickly raised his foot and kicked Wei Yu twice.

"Why did you kick me?!" Wei Yu rolled her eyes. "Are you sick?!"

“…You’re the one who’s sick!” The agent pointed to the figure of the man getting out of the car and said, “That should be Shen Ming’en. Go over and try to get close to him.”

"what?"

Wei Yu was stunned for a moment before noticing the figure of the man walking towards their camp.

Under the cover of night, the man wearing a mask and sunglasses was so obscured that even his features were barely visible. To be honest, Wei Yu had no idea how her manager recognized him, but her manager had never made a mistake when it came to recognizing artists…

"You have a dog's nose..."

Despite her complaints, Wei Yu stood up, first adjusting her pink dress and deliberately pulling it up to reveal her smooth legs. Then she smoothed her slightly curly hair, took out a small mirror to look at herself, and then walked towards Shen Ming'en with pursed lips.

Shen Mingen had just finished recording and went to buy some things nearby. When he came back, he heard that Yao Shuli and the others had already set up camp. He originally wanted to ask Director Zhao where Yao Shuli was, but after asking around, he heard that Director Zhao had gone to the hotel to rest. Helpless, he had no choice but to ask the staff...

To Shen Ming'en's surprise, he had just stopped a staff member to ask where Yao Shuli was, and before the staff member could answer, Wei Yu walked over with a fragrant breeze...

"Teacher Ming'en, are you looking for Sister Ali? I'll take you there."

With her hands behind her back and her back slightly bent, a large expanse of her snow-white chest was fully exposed, and even though Shen Ming'en didn't actively look, it felt like his eyes were being forced in...

"This one……"

Shen Ming'en had no interest in these flashy, cheap women and instinctively wanted to refuse, but Wei Yu simply waved her hand at him and said:
“Sister Li lives over there. We’re on the same team and we know each other very well. Come with me, I’ll take you there.”

She didn't give Shen Ming'en a chance to refuse at all.

Shen Ming'en glanced at the seemingly busy staff member beside him, feeling a little embarrassed to bother them, so he simply followed Wei Yu.

The female singer named Wei Yu walking in front of Shen Ming'en was indeed top-notch in terms of figure. Walking behind her, Shen Ming'en could see her plump hips swaying gracefully. Although her skirt wasn't particularly short, from behind it seemed that the hem only reached the top of her thighs, making one very curious about what was up there...

Whether it was because she noticed Shen Ming'en's gaze or not, Wei Yu deliberately wiggled her buttocks.

"Is this done on purpose?" Shen Ming'en smiled helplessly.

With fame comes trouble; I never imagined I'd have people trying to curry favor with me.

"Shouldn't you tell me where Yao Shuli is by now?" Shen Ming'en said helplessly. "You've already circled the entire camp, haven't you? We've been busy all night. You're tired, and so am I."

After meeting with Yao Shuli and Shen Mingen, I might have to catch a flight overnight, and there really won't be much time to rest if I continue sightseeing.

The two had arrived at a small alley. The alleyways of this ancient village were lined with mud houses. Because of the rain the night before, there was still a damp smell in the air. The environment was dark and unlit. Wei Yu playfully stuck out her tongue, made a cute, bewildered expression, and said:

"Teacher Ming'en, I just wanted to get to know you. Would it be convenient for us to exchange contact information?"

As she spoke, she took out her phone and showed Shen Ming'en her QR code.

Seeing this, Shen Ming'en smiled helplessly, then pointed to the west, to the bright spot—the peek-out head peeking out from the corner of the alley—and said:
"I'm here to see Yao Shuli. If I add you as a friend, then my trip tonight will have been for nothing."

With that, he waved his hand and walked straight out of the alley.

"Eh……"

Seeing this, Wei Yu wanted to stop her, but Shen Ming'en left too quickly and decisively, giving her no chance to react at all!
As they reached the corner, Shen Ming'en grabbed Luo Luo, Yao Shuli's assistant, by the back of the neck as she pretended to pass by, and said, "What? Want to see if I've done anything to betray your Jie Jie here?"

"I didn't... I was just passing by, what are you talking about?!" Luo Luo's eyes darted around, looking guilty.

She's on the same side as Yao Shuli and Wei Yu!

"Stop talking nonsense," Shen Ming'en rolled his eyes, "Take me to find Yao Shuli. I need to leave before 12 o'clock, don't fucking waste time."

"Oh……"

Lolo pouted and had no choice but to lead the way.

The tents were brightly lit late at night, but not enough to illuminate any figures; after all, these tents were sponsored by a well-known outdoor tent brand…

When Shen Mingen went in, Yao Shuli was lying on the bed looking at her phone. It was called a bed, but it was really just a mattress and a thin blanket.

When Yao Shuli saw Shen Mingen enter, a smile immediately appeared on her delicate face. But soon, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly pouted her pink lips, let out a soft snort, and turned her head away.

The unexpected charm of the opera singer surprised Shen Mingen, and he was genuinely charmed. He laughed, put down his things, walked over and sat down next to Yao Shuli, reaching out to hug her...

Yao Shuli suddenly shifted her hips in the opposite direction from him, forcefully widening the distance between them.

"Hey……"

Shen Ming'en didn't indulge her; he moved along with her, following her every step.

The two moved several times until Yao Shuli's pert buttocks finally reached the edge of the bed. If she moved any further, she would fall off, so she had no choice but to let Shen Ming'en do as he pleased.

"Oh haha..."

Shen Ming'en hugged Yao Shuli tightly, inhaled her fragrance, and teased her with a smile:
"You really are something. We could have stayed in a hotel tonight if it were a normal performance, but you insisted on making me suffer with you." "Yes, it's my fault for making you, King Shen, suffer with me..." Yao Shuli said sourly, "In the future, if something like this happens, you stay in your hotel and I'll stay in my tent. Don't drag you into this."

Shen Ming'en was genuinely surprised that Yao Shuli could be so jealous. He laughed and nodded, saying, "Good to know. If there's a next time, I won't come here."

"You..." Yao Shuli gritted her teeth in anger. Looking at Shen Mingen's smug expression, she couldn't help but raise her hands, grab Shen Mingen's arm, and bring it to her pink lips, opening her blood-red mouth wide...

Ah, just one bite!
"hiss……"

Shen Ming'en winced in pain:
"Are you drawing me a watch?!"

"Pfft..."

This amused Yao Shuli, but she quickly realized she was still angry, so she quickly suppressed her smile, pouted her pink lips, and asked, "What were you doing with Wei Yu just now?"

When Shen Ming'en saw Yao Shuli's reaction upon entering, he knew it was because of this damn thing. Sometimes he really wanted to mess with that damn assistant Yao Shuli...

"What can you do in the dark?" Shen Ming'en raised an eyebrow and said jokingly.

"You...you!" Yao Shuli was so angry that her delicate body trembled.

"Okay, okay..." Shen Ming'en quickly waved his hand, bursting with a strong survival instinct: "I asked for directions there, and she said she knew where you were, so I just followed her. Who would have thought she'd lead me in circles? She must have been bored..."

That little slut burned it for her...

"Is that all?" Yao Shuli asked weakly.

"What else?" Shen Ming'en said, "What if she shows me things I shouldn't see?"

“…Shen Ming'en!” Yao Shuli’s pretty face flushed slightly, and she widened her eyes slightly.

"Don't worry..." Shen Ming'en said, "Even if she showed it to me, I wouldn't care. I only want to look at you!"

This guy's righteous and righteous attempt to be suggestive made Yao Shuli blush deeply. But to Shen Ming'en's surprise, Yao Shuli actually asked, blushing, "What...what do you want to see?"

Shen Ming'en: "?"

Ber, what's the occasion today?

Am I dreaming?
Shen Ming'en almost slapped himself...

I've never eaten this kind of bran before, I'm not used to it!

"Don't...don't misunderstand..." Yao Shuli quickly waved her hands, instinctively covering her chest with them. She said, "I'm only doing this because of all the things you did for me today..."

Give him a reward.

Ok.

Probably that's it.

I'm not the kind of woman who's easygoing.

"If that's what you're saying, then I'll..." Shen Ming'en rubbed his hands together, licked his lips, and walked towards Yao Shuli: "Hehehe..."

"You...what are you going to do?"

"Don't... um..."

……

Cough, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand. Shen Mingen and Yao Shuli have a very pure friendship. In the camp where the show was being filmed, there were cameras from the production crew inside, and outside there was a circle of fans and paparazzi with their "big guns". What shameful things would they do in there? Wouldn't that be asking to be filmed in a live sex show and then used to blackmail them?
Let's get intimate...

Can't we settle this privately?

Around 12 o'clock, Shen Ming'en reluctantly said goodbye to Yao Shuli and embarked on his journey to the airport.

The night was quiet and still, but the trending topics on social media platforms like Douyin and Weibo next door were bustling all night long.

"#A mystery guest, suspected to be Shen Mingen, appears on 'The Journey of Music'!"

"#Loyalty to the Country, Borrowing Five Hundred Years from Heaven, Courage!#"

"#Shen Mingen was mysterious for nothing, everyone recognized him the moment he opened his mouth!#"

"#MingLiCP reunited, what the hell is this called showering us with PDA!#"

"#Regarding my favorite couple becoming a real-life couple, I'm waiting for an official announcement!#"

……

The show "Chinese Music Awards" has just ended, and there are actually quite a few people on the internet stirring up trouble, saying things like... Shen Ming'en is ungrateful, he's nothing without "Chinese Music Awards", and with such good exposure, those capitalists would just kick him into the mud. He'll definitely be sidelined... and so on.

Unexpectedly, the tables turned so quickly.

How many days has it been?
Shen Ming'en once again topped the trending charts on various platforms with two new works, and his popularity was no less than before. Even the program he was on, "Sound of the Journey," saw a peak online viewership of nearly 60 million at the same time that night, which was close to the peak of "Chinese Music Center"!
In contrast, the latest episode of "Chinese Music Awards" suffered from a significant drop in viewership due to the absence of Shen Ming'en. While the other singers' performances were still commendable, the show lacked a truly captivating element, resulting in a dramatic decline in viewership. At its peak, over 60 million people watched the show simultaneously, but this number has now plummeted to less than 10 million.

Looking back now, is it that Shen Mingen is no longer good without "Chinese Music Awards", or is it that "Chinese Music Awards" is no longer good without Shen Mingen?

It's clear at a glance...

Some things don't need a response; reality will answer everything on its own.

Just as the audience's enthusiasm for Shen Ming'en reached another peak, a certain hashtag quickly climbed to the top of the trending search list:

"Shen Ming'en's name is on the list of potential composers for the National Day Gala theme song announced by CCTV!"

Is it almost National Day on this ber?
Every year during National Day, various television stations hold National Day galas, and CCTV's National Day gala is naturally the highest-profile, inviting only the most influential figures in the industry...

During the Olympics, various official events did not officially announce Shen Ming'en's name in order to maintain secrecy. Although the situation later reversed, fans still felt somewhat resentful.

Today, CCTV openly announced Shen Ming'en's name and placed him at the top of the list of creators to be invited!

Tell me, how can you hold your head high and feel so proud!
Just as the audience was eagerly anticipating Shen Ming'en's performance of the National Day Gala theme song, a neighboring program started stirring things up...
