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

Chapter 64 At the pinnacle of immortality, I reign supreme in this world; with my gratitude, there is heaven!
Ma Ling absolutely has to get Shen Mingen eliminated from the "Chinese Music Awards" program this time, otherwise, she won't be able to hold off the company...

You know, she had arranged a bunch of work for Shen Mingen at the company. This past week, when the company asked her about it, she kept putting it off, saying that the work was still under discussion and that Shen Mingen was busy writing songs and couldn't find the time. It was supposed to officially start next week.

If Ma Ling eliminates Shen Ming'en in this episode of "Chinese Music Awards," and lets him know what's what, she's confident she can make him bow down and follow the path she's laid out for him, making a fortune for the company.

And if it can't be eliminated...

If things get out of control and the company's higher-ups find out, Ma Ling will be finished.

This is why she took it so seriously and came to "personally oversee" this episode of "Chinese Music Awards".

"Tsk..." Director Niu watched this scene from the side and couldn't help but curl his lips inwardly. On one hand, he sighed that Ma Ling really went too far, and on the other hand, he wondered why Shen Ming'en couldn't just go along with Ma Ling and capital, so that everyone could have a win-win situation?
What kind of garbage is this...?

Anyone who didn't know better would think their own mother ate donkey meat sandwiches before they were born, so why are they all so stubborn?!

"Ugh……"

Director Niu sighed, gazing at Shen Ming'en about to appear on screen, and muttered to himself:
"If you need help, ask for more. What's the point of just asking for clothes..."

Before the rehearsal preparations even began, while Shen Ming'en was still in Chongqing, Director Niu had the production team call and text him repeatedly, asking if he needed any help, what he needed for the rehearsal, and whether they wanted to find him a high-quality band or dance troupe, etc.

Director Niu's "hint" is quite obvious: if Hajime opens his mouth, he can even directly find Cantonese experts in the industry to help him write the Cantonese song for this episode!
He absolutely doesn't want Shen Ming'en to be eliminated!

But, just like before, this old man still didn't want rehearsals, a band, lighting, stage design... he didn't want anything!
He just wanted the production team to prepare a high-end formal suit for him to wear on stage!
Director Niu was practically begging him on his knees, saying, "Our production team is now on your side, Emperor Ming'en! You're not alone anymore! You don't have to be so dictatorial anymore! Can you at least ask for a little more?"

I'm begging you for something, okay?!
It's free!

Free!
Are you serious about not taking this for free?!
it's good now……

The other singers had such lavish stage setups; the production team practically provided everything the Chinese entertainment industry could offer. But Hajime, he was all alone on stage again. They gave him a computer to plug in a USB drive and play backing tracks, and that was it...

Even Director Niu was thinking, "What the hell do you have to compare with them with?!"
Even if you sing in Cantonese or patriotic songs, your performance still can't compare to the entertainment value and the sheer impact of other people's performances!
What kind of time is this? They still don't trust the production team, and they still won't give us the song information...

They're both male leads, didn't Lin Dong teach you the lesson that "when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact"?!

Is this still the time to act crazy?!
We're all in the same boat, it's time to stick together!

"director……"

It's worth mentioning that at this moment, a staff member approached Director Niu and pointed to the audience, saying:

"Wei Zihan seems to be sitting in the audience too. Should we keep an eye on him?"

"Wei Zihan?"

Director Niu frowned and glanced at the audience. Wei Zihan was sitting in the audience, near where Ma Ling had sat in the previous episode, in the first row.

In previous episodes, Wei Zihan was always in the studio with Director Niu, so why was he sitting offstage this time...?

It's all because the two of them got into a fight in the last episode!
Director Niu was still angry when he thought about it. The bruise on his face hadn't completely faded yet. He twitched his lips and ordered, "Find two security guards nearby to keep an eye on this idiot. Don't let him get excited and start fighting with Shen Ming'en on stage again."

When he said that, even Director Niu felt it might be a bit unnecessary...

Yes, Wei Zihan is emotionally unstable. In the past, when Shen Mingen sang a revolutionary song, he felt like he wanted to go down and beat him up, but that was all when he knew that Shen Mingen would not be eliminated.

This issue...

Shen Mingen's chances of not being eliminated are slim.

In this situation, Wei Zihan is more likely to be watching the spectacle from the audience than to have an emotional breakdown and resort to violence.

"Sigh..." Thinking of this, Director Niu sighed silently again.

At this moment, on stage, the host was already calling Shen Ming'en's name...

Looking at the name "Shen Ming'en" appearing on the big screen on stage, Director Niu couldn't help but silently rub his forehead and mutter to himself, "Dad, take care!"

Last time he said "May you have good fortune," and this time he said "Take care." It's not hard to see that Director Niu has lost all confidence in Shen Ming'en.

……

"Oh!!!"

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

"Emperor Ming'en, unparalleled throughout eternity!"

"Thunder Yatalain!"

"At the pinnacle of immortality, I reign supreme over the world; with my gratitude etched in my heart, the heavens will prevail!!!"

When the host called out Shen Ming'en's name, the audience erupted in a loud shout.

On the one hand, Shen Mingen is very popular. He is responsible for 80% of the topic and traffic of the "Chinese Music Center" program. Nearly 80% of the audience came for him and are looking forward to his appearance. They will definitely support him.
on the other hand……

Actually, it's also because the collaborations between the singers and veteran Hong Kong singers in the earlier episodes were of such high quality that everyone's enthusiasm was greatly aroused.

The atmosphere is so lively...

It's still the same point made before Shen Ming'en sang "Ode to Young China" in the episode with the theme of "Youth and Campus". The atmosphere was too heated, and everyone had too high expectations and too much enthusiasm for him. Even if his singing was just average or not amazing, it was easy to disappoint everyone.

This is definitely not a good thing for Shen Ming'en.

And this is exactly what Ma Ling and the production team wanted to see...

Why do you think they designed Shen Ming'en and Yao Shuli to appear second to last and last respectively?!

Isn't that what we're after?
"Shout...shout your mother's mouth!" Wei Zihan, sitting in the front row, couldn't help but twitch his lips as he watched this scene. He thought to himself, "Let's see if you guys will still shout when Shen Mingen is eliminated!"

Amidst cheers from the audience...

Under Wei Zihan's resentful gaze...

In the center of the stage, behind the lights, the shadows gradually brightened, and Shen Ming'en slowly walked out.

The first thing I did upon seeing Shen Ming'en...

"..."

The clamor abruptly ceased.

Even the barrage of comments scrolling wildly in the adjacent online live stream paused for a moment.

Everyone was slightly taken aback, staring at Shen Ming'en with strange expressions...

There was no other reason than that Shen Mingen, who appeared on camera, was wearing a very proper Tang suit!
