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

Chapter 299 The yellow skin washed by the Yellow River, this color will never change in five thousand years!

The theme of this episode of "Spark of Music" is: "Popularity"!
This was the topic given by Shen Ming'en, one of the producers and main guests who returned after more than a month. To be honest, when the guests on the show first saw this topic, they were all a bit confused. After all, their show is a "mainstream theme program", and it would be best if all the topics revolved around the "mainstream theme". However, Shen Ming'en suddenly went against the grain and gave a "popular" topic, which really made many creators' heads spin...

Therefore, they spent several days just trying to "guess" what Shen Ming'en meant...

Privately, everyone talks about Hakim!

They're rife with accusations that he's "forgotten his roots"!
Back in the "Chinese Music Awards" era, he learned the "essence" of how the BYD show's production team made things difficult for him, and now that he's making his own show, he's applying all of that knowledge to the guests.

But how should I put it...

There's always a set topic to be presented, and Shen Ming'en is completely confused, which is actually quite interesting.

And that's why...

This year's guests didn't say much; they went off to prepare their work behind closed doors.

On the other hand, while these people complained that Shen Ming'en's questions were "clueless," they weren't actually that averse to the questions he set.

In itself, the "pop" style is very simple and easy for these creators of mainstream songs. "Red songs" are inherently very grand and majestic. When "pop" style is incorporated into the creation of red songs, the difficulty of creation is actually reduced. Therefore, some of the guests in this episode actually prepared quite good works...

One of the new guest singers, a very young and talented man named Wang Hong, prepared a very good piece. Since all the guests except Shen Ming'en had rehearsed together before, everyone had heard Wang Hong's performance and praised him highly...

Before the recording started, when the guests gathered backstage, one of them even teased Shen Ming'en about Wang Hong, saying:
"Teacher Ming'en, be careful not to slip up unexpectedly! Wang Hong might just turn the tables on you!"

The program "Spark of Music" itself does not have a "ranking" mechanism, because Shen Ming'en said at the beginning of the program that "red songs" have no order or ranking. As long as they praise the motherland and are sincere, they are all good works.

However, viewers tend to subconsciously compare different works. For example, after each episode of "Sparkling Melody" featuring Shen Mingen, viewers would subconsciously say that Shen Mingen's work far surpassed the quality of the other guests' work, praising him in various ways, while the others were treated like supporting characters...

Some of the older singer-songwriters didn't care, but the younger ones were naturally proud and ambitious. Shen Ming'en wasn't much older than them, both in their early twenties, so it was normal for them to be "unconvinced."

Shen Ming'en never cared about their underhanded "challenge," and even somewhat "encouraged" them to "challenge" him.

For him, it is a good thing that everyone is vying to produce more and better mainstream works that can be sung widely.

Therefore...

Faced with everyone's teasing, Shen Ming'en simply said, "Bring it on!"

Amidst laughter...

The recording of this episode of "Sparkling Melody" has officially begun!
Perhaps because more than a week in advance, after Shen Ming'en finished singing "The Yellow River Cantata: Defend the Yellow River," "My Chinese Heart," and "Returning to One's Roots" in Da Piao Liang, Feng Yucan started to take advantage of that momentum to frantically "promote" and "market" the show, the online live stream of "Spark Chapter" was particularly popular tonight. Just over ten minutes after the show started, while the host singer was still creating a lively atmosphere, the number of people watching the live stream at the same time had already reached more than 30 million!
Of this group, without saying more, more than 70% are definitely here for Shen Ming'en, right?

If you don’t believe me, just look!

The comments section was basically filled with:
Where's that guy Hakim? Let's bring him out for a spin!

Good heavens, it's been so long since I've seen this guy. People who didn't know better might have thought he quit the show...

【Oh dear, my brother's had it tough too. He's been busy filming "Bright Sword" lately, and before last week he was also busy with the Silk Road Blossoms Theatre Troupe's amazing performance. He's been working non-stop.】

[That's not all! He also secretly took care of something important!]

【What important matter is it?】

Hey bro, your internet's down? Did your 2G just get connected?

Yao Shuli and Shen Mingen have registered their marriage!

【?! Is Zun Du fake?!】

You're lying to me!

[There's an 80% chance, otherwise, would Hajime really have made "Bright Sword" purely for charity?!]

[Sparrows are eating it!]

……

Sometimes Shen Mingen is really helpless with this generation of netizens...

In other words, they might subconsciously feel that Shen Ming'en couldn't possibly be doing "charity" by filming "Bright Sword," and that it's impossible for him to actually grant the TV series rights to CCTV's TV drama channel for free, with all the money earned from the online platform rights going to Yao Shuli...

He definitely needs to earn some money; he can't work for free.

If he also made some money, then the only thing he could do was "get a marriage certificate" with Yao Shuli, and the money could only become "marital property." That's why he could give such a huge sum of money to Yao Shuli without any restraint!
But have they ever thought about...?

Why can't Shen Mingen act in a drama purely for the sake of "national righteousness"?!
Isn't his recording of "Spark Symphony" all for a "greater good"?

Really...

I have absolutely no trust in him!
Judging others by one's own petty standards!
In short, whether it's due to the rumors of "getting a marriage certificate" with Yao Shuli during this period or the effective promotion of Shen Mingen's return in this episode, the viewership and popularity of this episode of "Spark Chapter" are definitely in place. Looking at the Chinese entertainment industry, only Thunder Yata Lane can support such terrifying viewership and popularity!

Amid such enthusiastic cheers from the audience, the show quickly moved into the "performance" phase after a brief opening.

To be fair, Feng Yucan is quite cunning. Because he's been busy filming "Bright Sword" in Shanxi and Northwest China, Shen Mingen hasn't paid much attention to "Spark Chapter" and hasn't even participated in rehearsals. There's been heavy snow in Shanxi and Northwest China these past two days, and luckily the flight wasn't delayed, otherwise Shen Mingen wouldn't have been able to make it to the show.

Having arrived just before the performance, all the performance arrangements could only be entrusted to Feng Yucan alone...

For example, the "order of appearance" was basically decided by Feng Yucan himself.

Shen Mingen's appearance was placed as the "grand finale" to whet the audience's appetite!
Although the audience continued to criticize, it was ultimately part of the program's arrangement, and out of respect for the other guests' wishes, they didn't say anything and patiently watched the performances of other singer-songwriters first...

It's no wonder they were surprised when they saw the works of the other singer-songwriters in this episode of "Spark Melody".

Since this episode's theme is "popular," which is a relatively simple theme, having a group of songwriters and singers who specialize in creating mainstream songs create with this theme is a kind of "lower dimension attack." Therefore, everyone performed quite well this episode.

Especially Wang Hong, the young male singer who recently joined the show "Spark Melody," is a "pop" music major. Since this was his first time joining the show, his performance was naturally meticulously crafted, surpassing many of the previous singers. Some even joked that:

Good heavens, Shen Ming'en is in grave danger...

[This feels like a main theme song that's just as good as some of Shen Ming'en's previous pop-style works.]

[Haha, it can't be that bad, can it? Those books like "Chinese Language," "The Lone Warrior," and "A Young China's Manifesto" all far surpass it.]

[Isn't this supposed to put some pressure on this guy...?]

This guy's been absolutely unstoppable lately; we're worried he'll get too cocky.

[Haha...sparrow food!]

……

Backstage.

The entrance to the stage.

Watching singer Wang Hong perform, Shen Ming'en nodded in approval. Just then, that scoundrel Feng Yucan suddenly appeared out of nowhere and joined in the teasing, saying to Shen Ming'en:

"How's it going? Feeling the pressure?" Shen Ming'en glanced at him, inexplicably finding his words a bit idiotic, and then left him with the words: "I'll have to take leave again next week."

After saying that, he left to prepare for his turn on stage.

Feng Yucan was left standing there, dumbfounded, then his lips twitched, and he quickly chased after Shen Ming'en, trying to coax him as he went:

"Brother, I was wrong, I was just kidding..."

"You're a magnanimous person, can you really hold a grudge against me?"

"Oh, you can't leave, Eun-ja! How will I live if you leave, Eun-ja!"

Shen Ming'en: "(￢_￢) Shoot"

Amidst laughter.

As the guests took the stage one after another, the show gradually came to an end.

However, the audience's enthusiasm did not diminish in the slightest as time went by...

Without him!

Just because!

Next up!
Everybody knows!
Shen Ming'en, the mainstay of the "Spark of Music" program and the spokesperson for revolutionary songs, is about to make his appearance!
The moment the singer in charge of the narration mentioned the name "Shen Ming'en", the audience went wild!

"Oh!!!"

"It's finally here!"

"Shen Ming'en! Shen Ming'en! Shen Ming'en!"

……

Cheers echoed throughout the venue, and when the camera panned across the scene, you could see many spectators even standing up to applaud and cheer.

There's nothing we can do; the level of anticipation and welcome everyone has for Shen Ming'en is unparalleled!

It was under these circumstances that...

The stage lights gradually dimmed.

Bathed in a ray of light, Shen Ming'en, holding a microphone, walked onto the stage with a faint smile, relaxed and carefree.

"Oh!!!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

At that moment, the cheers from the crowd reached the designated spot.

A guest backstage couldn't help but exclaim, "Ming En's popularity is amazing..."

yes……

As a very popular mainstream music creation variety show in the Chinese entertainment industry, "Spark Chapter" has always been very popular, and the guests have always been very well received during their performances.

They often felt that this was the highest level of enthusiasm from the audience...

But every time I see the audience welcoming Shen Mingen, I immediately feel that the difference in their abilities is obvious.

People really like him!
I just don’t know…

How was Shen Ming'en's work this time?
On stage, Shen Ming'en walked to the center and bowed deeply to the audience, appearing calm and composed. Having experienced so many stages, big and small, it was clear that Shen Ming'en could easily handle this stage. Therefore, he quickly gave a glance to the band members...

It's worth mentioning that Shen Ming'en did not signal the audience to be quiet. Because of their overwhelming welcome and support for him, the audience did not quiet down either. Many people continued to cheer, and when the camera panned across each person, you could see the light of "expectation" shining on their faces.

Amidst the audience's anticipation and cheers, the band members began to play!
"dudu~"

"Woo~"

The guzheng and erhu, one plucked and the other drawn, one bright and the other dark, with their crisp, clear, and rhythmic timbres, directly highlight the emotional tension and national charm in the prelude. The moment the slight electronic sound effects and rhythmic build-up intervene, the highly unified style of the fusion of tradition and modernity instantly captures the attention of every audience member, giving rise to a feeling of great "temperament" and "power"!

Many viewers were already experiencing "aesthetic fatigue" by the second half, but the sudden appearance of such a powerful melody instantly refreshed them.

It was under those circumstances...

Shen Ming'en picked up the microphone and sang loudly!

……

"That's the true grandeur of Chinese style!"

"Chinese style is just so incredibly cool!"

"Yellow skin washed by the Yellow River!"

"This color will never change in five thousand years!"

……

"Oh!!!"

"Fuck! Fuck!"

"What the hell..."

"Why are you so excited?!"

"Pfft... This is so brainwashing!"

have to say!

Shen Ming'en's "Chinese Style" may not have the most elaborate melody, but it's truly...

Extremely brainwashing!

From the very first few lines of lyrics, he practically launched into a high-energy performance, instantly captivating every audience member and drawing them into the melody. The moment he finished singing…

Everyone felt, subconsciously, that their minds were "replaying" the same thing!
Not only were the audience members stunned...

Many singers backstage were also completely bewildered!
ber……

So it turns out this "popular" topic isn't about "musical style," it's about "Chinese style"!

Shen Ming'en really went through a lot of trouble this time, completely fooling them!
