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

Chapter 221: The Story Behind "The Red-Haired Girl"!

"#The repertoire for Shen Ming'en's performance in the 'Silk Road Blossoms' troupe has changed!"

In the two days leading up to the performance of the "Silk Road Blossoms" event at Xiao Rizi, a trending topic quickly rose to the top of the trending searches on various platforms in the Chinese entertainment industry.

When they saw the entry, this generation of Chinese entertainment viewers were completely outraged!

The reason is that some sharp-eyed people noticed that on the performance list released by the Silk Road Blossoms Troupe on Xiao Rizi, Shen Ming'en's repertoire had been changed from a traditional ethnic cultural Tibetan-style work to a work called "Red Actress," which sounds like a traditional opera.

The character “赤伶” has many interpretations. It can mean sincerity or fervor, or it can represent a color. You can't tell anything from the character itself.

But the character “伶” is different…

In ancient my country, the character “伶” referred to a musician or opera singer. In the past, opera actors were often referred to as “伶人” or “名伶”. Basically, anyone with this character in their name was someone who performed in opera.

Even if it doesn't refer to this specific character, it usually refers to a single performer. In ancient times, it also referred to a music official. Basically, any context where this character appears carries certain traditional cultural characteristics.

The song title "Red-Clad Ladies" immediately evokes the image of a traditional Chinese opera for most audiences in the Chinese entertainment industry. Even those unfamiliar with it might become more familiar with it after being influenced by marketing accounts and other media outlets.

It was precisely because they learned the meaning behind the song's title that the audience in the Chinese entertainment industry immediately went into an uproar!
The comment sections under related trending search terms are flooded with:
So, this counts as a song change, and it's even been changed to a traditional opera-style piece, according to those bastards on Xiao Rizi's side?

[Damn, they just change whatever they want to hear? Does your troupe really have no backbone at all?!]

Even slimes aren't as spineless as you guys!

Traitors! A bunch of traitors!

While some people were targeting members of the theater troupe, with certain individuals stirring things up behind the scenes, the majority of the comments were actually directed at Shen Ming'en; the screen was filled with messages like:
[Shen Ming'en hj!]

[Damn it, you just change because they tell you to? You're such a good dog!]

[This is only possible in peacetime; if this were wartime, such a traitor would have been executed long ago!]

[It's unbelievable that he's called a spokesperson for patriotic songs. He just changes the songs whenever the government tells him to. Why does he have to flatter these bastards?]

I admit I overestimated him before, but from now on I will never be a fan of someone like him again.

[Unfollow! Absolutely unfollow!]

……

The result those capitalists wanted has arrived...

Because of Shen Mingen's last-minute song change, even though many reasonable people knew that this matter might not have much to do with Shen Mingen, the narrative was still swayed, and most of the criticism was directed at Shen Mingen.

This kind of thing is actually quite typical, just like when a TV series is poorly made and many people blame the actors...

The director made the scenes that way, the script was drastically altered by the screenwriter, and in the end, netizens said it ruined the original work, so they put all the blame on the actors.

Is it because they don't know how to criticize the director and screenwriter?

no!
It's because the director and screenwriter aren't celebrities, they don't have much traffic or popularity. Not to mention ordinary netizens, even marketing accounts don't want to mention their names, because nobody will read it!

On the contrary, topics related to Shen Mingen are more likely to generate traffic, so even marketing accounts are willing to follow suit and post about Shen Mingen.

Many people know this, and the behind-the-scenes capital also knows it, so they started to create a frenzy of publicity and smear this matter!
This leads to...

Although this incident wasn't entirely Shen Mingen's fault, in the end, Shen Mingen was the one who received the most criticism.

Since the incident went viral, Shen Mingen has been condemned and vilified by countless netizens in the Chinese entertainment industry!
The whole thing is proceeding almost exactly according to the route planned by those capitalists...

……

Magic City.

tea room.

"Pattering..."

Today, a friend brought Mr. Qin some high-quality raw Pu'er tea, and he specially invited several friends to taste it together.

The clear tea soup poured down the purple clay teapot, and the vent on the lid emitted a very crisp phoenix-like sound. Undoubtedly, this is a very good purple clay teapot.

"President Qin is still the best!"

Fat Boss Ma clapped his hands, a wide smile spreading across his fleshy face. He said:

"I reckon Shen Ming'en will be pushed into an abyss by us this time, haha..."

That's right. Originally, there was a smooth road in front of and behind Shen Ming'en, but President Qin used his incredible power to turn the flat ground in front of Shen Ming'en into a cliff...

it's good now.

Now, Shen Ming'en stepped inside.

Once he's down there, it'll be hard for him to get back up...

"It's all thanks to President Liu for making the connection..."

Mr. Qin, the tea master, chuckled and placed a freshly poured cup of tea in front of Mr. Liu, who was wearing a pink suit, not far away.

"Now these people are all pretending to be nice to each other," President Liu said with a smile.

"Although things have basically gone according to our plan, it's not over yet. Next..."

As she spoke, she picked up the cup of tea, brought it to her pink lips, took a small sip, then turned to look at Lin Bei, Shen Ming'en's boss, not far away, and smiled:
"Next, it all depends on our CEO Lin."

Her words were somewhat suggestive, and almost everyone in the tea room understood what she meant. Therefore, everyone's gaze followed President Liu as they looked at the usually taciturn Lin Bei.

The online discussion about Shen Mingen listening to "Little Days" and netizens demanding a song change has already caused quite a stir. Although the fire has been lit, it still needs a little more fuel to make it burn even brighter.

Lin Bei could be the one adding fuel to the fire, or he could be the one blowing the breeze. In any case, as long as he could increase the fire and cremate Shen Ming'en directly, that would be the best outcome.

Faced with President Liu's teasing, Lin Bei didn't say anything, but just glanced expressionlessly at President Qin not far away...

"What? President Lin, are you reluctant to let him go?" The white-haired President Li, who was not far away, said jokingly, "If you say you're going to spare Shen Ming'en's life, then for your sake, we can talk things over."

To be honest, those companies were actually quite interested in talking to Shen Ming'en privately to see if they could discuss any collaborations...

If we lend a helping hand to Shen Ming'en at this critical juncture, that would be a great favor!

However, Lin Bei simply shook his head and said:
"This kid is determined not to cooperate with us. Keeping him around will only cause trouble sooner or later. Let him go if he's not going to cooperate."

Everyone knows the commercial value Shen Mingen possesses, but the problem is, none of it is of any use to them!

They could only watch helplessly!

If Shen Mingen ever becomes too powerful, he might even turn against them...

These are things they cannot tolerate!
Now, there's no need to consider leaving Shen Ming'en a way out...

If you're going to do it, do it thoroughly!
After saying that...

Lin Bei stood up, picked up his teacup, and drank it all in one gulp. With a crisp "clatter," he tossed the teacup onto the table, grabbed his coat, and left the tea room. Watching Lin Bei's departing figure, the people in the tea room couldn't help but shake their heads inwardly…

"If only their company could control Shen Ming'en..." Fatty Ma sighed.

If we could subdue them, we wouldn't have ended up like this today.

I wonder if Shen Mingen will regret it.

……

The online buzz surrounding Shen Ming'en's song change at the first stop of the "Silk Road Blossoms" international tour at Xiao Ri Zi's venue, in response to requests from Xiao Ri Zi's fans, had already caused quite a stir...

Many viewers in the Chinese entertainment industry seemed to have been hit where it hurt, and they started to hurl insults at Shen Ming'en.

The situation was already extremely serious...

And it was under these circumstances!
Some comments from netizens on the other side of the internet have suddenly come into the view of many Chinese entertainment viewers...

Haha, hahaha... Yoshi!

Compared to the indignant Chinese entertainment audience, the viewers on Xiao Rizi's side were so excited when they heard that Shen Ming'en changed the song at their request that he almost jumped three meters high!
In the comments section of the related terms, netizens are going all out with their comments!

What did I tell you? Once you're here, you have to follow our rules and obey!

I think this Ming En-san is really great, and we in Japan welcome him!

There's a saying in China: "Those who understand the times are heroes." I think this Ming En is one such hero!

[Yosh! His conscience is much better now!]

……

When the "song change" was mentioned before, the audiences of both sides had already engaged in a fierce online flame war in the comment sections of foreign websites.

Back then, perhaps because they believed that Shen Ming'en and the troupe would never change the song, the audience in the Chinese entertainment industry said some really nasty things!
Already burdened by national and personal grievances, and with our larger numbers, our fighting spirit naturally soars when things get tough, and we practically unleash a torrent of abuse on the other side, practically spitting out their brains...

totally unexpected!
Now, things have turned around!

The troupe and Shen Ming'en actually complied with Xiao Rizi's request and changed the song!
it's good now……

Face slapped!
Those netizens on the other side were criticized so harshly before, and now that things have turned around, they're bound to retaliate fiercely!

The fiercely competitive Chinese are willing to lose to anyone but to the mundane aspects of life, but this matter...

They, however, were completely unable to refute it.

Because their people are truly, truly hopeless!
What to do about the anger that you can't retaliate with insults?

All they could do was dump it all on Shen Ming'en again!
The whole thing is because Shen Ming'en changed the song. An event that was supposed to be a performance abroad to promote our traditional culture and win glory for our country has been turned into pandering to foreigners because of this guy's song change. That's fucking disgusting!

Plus, those marketing accounts stirring up trouble...

It immediately turned into "the whole nation angrily condemning Shen Ming'en"!

Its popularity exploded again and again, directly topping the trending search lists on various platforms!

The controversy surrounding Shen Ming'en continues to rise, and the insults directed at him are growing increasingly intense!

What should be said or not...

Those netizens who praised Shen Ming'en on Xiao Rizi really know how to "guide public opinion".

If their attacks on Chinese netizens had only focused on the issue of the troupe members changing songs, and had been a simple retaliation, then Chinese netizens wouldn't have attacked Shen Ming'en with such fury...

It was precisely because they praised Shen Ming'en so much that everyone thought it was Shen Ming'en's fault!

So everyone started criticizing Shen Ming'en!
When the news of Shen Mingen changing his song first came out, it didn't actually generate that much buzz...

With the arrival of the "mocking" comments from the "Xiao Rizi" side, the popularity exploded.

As calls to "boycott Shen Mingen" gradually emerged, trending topics like "#ShenMingenlosesOverOneMillionFansOvernight!" appeared online.

Shen Mingen's social media accounts on various platforms have an average of over 30 million followers. To be honest, with such a massive number, it's impossible that there aren't a lot of "bots" among them...

Some of these were even "brushed" for him by his rivals and the behind-the-scenes capital targeting him.

Why would they, who are enemies of Shen Mingen, still "boost his followers"?
Wasn't it meant to be used right now?!
How many followers have we given him? If something happens to him, how serious will the loss of followers be?

The illusion created is so exaggerated!
President Qin and his team had been planning all this for a long time!
Now, it's just a matter of taking this opportunity to release it all at once.

As it turns out, their "all-out" investment was not in vain. With the continuous emergence of similar trending topics, Shen Mingen's "image" in the public's mind gradually began to collapse on a large scale.

If things continue like this, let alone when the tour returns, he will be forced to be kicked out of the troupe by public opinion after this performance, and then become a rat that everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry hates!

Seeing this, those capitalists were overjoyed!

They've been waiting for this moment for so long, and their goal of "banning" Shen Ming'en has finally been achieved!

Just thinking about it makes me so excited I can't sleep!

My crotch is on fire...

It's not just these capitalists who can't sleep.

Even back home, Teacher Chen Guangrong couldn't sleep!

"What did I tell you... what did I tell you!"

Upon seeing the news online, Teacher Chen Guangrong was furious. He had told Shen Mingen not to agree, but he insisted on agreeing. Now look what happened.
This has blown up!

It's ridiculous that this kid kept saying he was prepared and had a plan...

There's a place to send it!

This is about to collapse, it's about to be shut down. If you don't bring out your "backup hidden energy" soon, you'll never have the chance to bring it out again!

at the same time.

Shen Ming'en's room.

Shen Ming'en sent a file to Feng Yucan on his computer, titled: 【The Story Behind "Red-Haired Girl"!】

He also added a sentence:

"When I perform, you tell this story in three steps."

A bunch of BYD capitalists who never learn from their mistakes, are they going to open champagne again at halftime?

It's time to let them relive the fear of being dominated by Emperor Ming'en!
