Chapter 30 Supreme Bone Fracture: A Theme from Traditional Chinese Opera?

"Where is Zhou Yang from Biyang?"

At the roundtable meeting of the directing team, everyone was speechless. Zhou Yang, the assistant for three consecutive episodes, had the most ideas. This "prodigy" "closed disciple" in the eyes of the director was naturally brought up again.

"Think of a way, what other ideas do you have this time?" Director Niu asked directly.

"This...I..." Zhou Yang also looked constipated...

What the hell could he possibly do?!

At first, Shen Ming'en was eliminated by the "additional round". However, the "assigned creation" in the next two episodes not only failed to curb Shen Ming'en, but also fueled his arrogance.

Especially in the "singer guest performance" segment of the last episode, he was publicly scolded by Shen Mingen, and the entire production team lost face with him. Now he is terrified of the way everyone looks at him. How can he dare to give any more suggestions?

And it wasn't just that he didn't dare; he had no other choice...

"Is there really no one who can stop this father?!" Seeing his once most talented disciple become just another ordinary person, Director Niu slammed his hand on the table in anger.

"..."

No one in the meeting room dared to breathe loudly, nor did they dare to raise their heads, let alone offer any suggestions.

"Lung fog..." Director Niu couldn't help but curse, "They're all a bunch of lung foggers!"

At this crucial moment, there's not a single useful person...

Just then, seeing that no one was speaking, Xu Qian, the female assistant to Director Niu's right, timidly raised her hand and whispered, "Director Niu, I do have an idea..."

"Tell me, tell me quickly!" Director Niu's eyes lit up, and everyone else looked over as well.

“I think… we can continue with assigned topics,” said Xu Qian, the female assistant.

"...An assigned composition?!"

Everyone was furious upon hearing this:

"Two themed creative writing assignments still can't shatter your heroic dreams?"

"Even your supreme bones would be cracked, and you're still assigning a theme for your creative work?!"

"Don't you ever learn your lesson?!"

Director Niu's lips twitched; he thought she had some brilliant idea, but it turned out she was just rehashing old ideas...

"I'm not talking about the previous assigned composition..." Xu Qian said calmly, "What I mean is, if there are problems with the previous assigned composition, we don't necessarily have to start with the topic; we can also start with the musical style."

"Musical style?" Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, but then their eyes lit up.

Yes!

Don't say it, don't say it!
When composing a song, the theme is one aspect, and the style of the song is another...

If you give Shen Ming'en a topic, he can find all sorts of ways to use revolutionary songs to praise that topic. If he insists on sticking to the topic, the production team can't do anything about it.

But what if we specify the musical style?

The most important thing about revolutionary songs is their grand and majestic melody. To put it bluntly, the style of the songs reflects the spirit of a great nation. If his musical style is restricted and he is forced to write other styles instead of revolutionary songs, he will lose that spirit of a great nation. No matter how good his lyrics are, he cannot sing with that feeling. In the end, it is not wrong for the production team to eliminate him for this reason.

“Yes, this is fine.” Director Niu’s eyes lit up, and he looked at his female assistant Xu Qian as if she were a newly emerged, exceptionally talented inner disciple.

"Zhou Yang, the Crouching Dragon" has become "Zhou Yang of Bi Yang," while Xu Qian has now been promoted to "Xu Qian, the Phoenix Chick of Niu Hulu," sharing the burdens of Director Niu.

Director Niu didn't speak, but his expectant eyes told him what he meant: he was asking Xu Qian what musical style she wanted to use. "I think... opera, Peking opera style?" Facing everyone's gaze, Xu Qian said frankly, "This is difficult enough. No ordinary person can write it. Even if they do, it won't have the right feel and it will be hard to convince the public. It is the musical style that has the best chance of eliminating Shen Ming'en."

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Director Niu, was immediately impressed!

Sparrows are eating it!
Traditional Chinese opera and operatic singing are national treasures. People without a certain level of skill generally can't sing these things, let alone create works based on them and perform them on variety show stages.

They have every reason to believe that even the "national team" behind Shen Ming'en could not possibly be proficient in styles like opera and Peking opera singing!

"Yes, yes, yes." Director Niu nodded, his smile as venomous as a venomous grin.

OK……

Finally, we can get rid of Shen Ming'en, our living father!
Now he can finally give an explanation to the company and those investors.

But at that moment, Zhou Yang from Biyang, perhaps feeling that his limelight had been stolen, couldn't help but ask, "This question does suit Shen Ming'en, but what about the other singers?"

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, and the smile on Director Niu's face suddenly froze.

yes……

When the theme was "Darkness" last time, the singers had quite a few complaints. This time, with such a difficult theme, they're bound to cry.

Especially people like Zheng Yun and Ji Cheng, who aren't very capable but have big tempers, they'll fight the production team to the death.

The assigned creative topic did manage to restrain Shen Ming'en, but what about the parents of the production team?
“That’s not something we need to consider,” Xu Qian said bluntly. “Our priority right now is to eliminate Shen Ming’en. If they have any complaints, let them take it out on Shen Ming’en.”

Now is not the time for them to consider whether the singers will have any objections. If Shen Ming'en is not eliminated this episode, it is uncertain whether their show can continue.

As for whether Shen Ming'en is alive or dead?

Who cares?

……

The following day, the new round of topics on "Chinese Opera and Opera Style" from "Chinese Music Center" once again made it to the top of the trending searches, thanks to the popularity of Shen Ming'en's "Ode to Young China".

When netizens saw that topic, they were absolutely amused...

【No way, is this production team determined to ruin my idol?】

[Hilarious! Those capitalists never imagined that someone as insignificant as Shen Ming'en would be so difficult to take down.]

To be honest, I was worried Shen Ming'en would be eliminated, but now I'm more curious about what new work he can come up with to prove the production team wrong...

[Haha, who says otherwise? Our brother doesn't need us to worry about him at all!]

Instead of worrying about our brother, we should go and confront those investors and the production team; giving them a good dressing down would be beneficial.

Let's get started!

……

A group of netizens who are "no longer worried" about Shen Mingen flocked to the comments section of the "Chinese Music Awards" program to hurl insults at him. The program's official accounts on various platforms were also bombarded with tags in the comments section of Shen Mingen's video saying "I want to beat ten of them." While the internet has been buzzing with discussion recently, the number of followers on Shen Mingen's personal official accounts on various platforms has also continued to rise...

It started with only a few hundred thousand followers, and a lot of them were bots. But now, it has gained over ten million followers.

The vast majority of these are real people, which is enough to show that Shen Mingen is extremely popular. As Shen Mingen's agency, Ruixing Entertainment, seeing such a terrifying amount of traffic and popularity, they seem to see the "immense wealth" and feel that they should take it over themselves.

Otherwise, you'd be losing out!
