Entertainment: The microphones are here, why is everyone so silent?

She previously admitted that Ye Chen was very strong!

But she never expected that Ye Chen could be this strong!

This is more than just creating a good song!

This is expanding the boundaries and innovative possibilities of pop music!

After the intro, Ye Chen's voice appeared:

"Twenty-six thousand li east of the Kingdom of Rakshasa, passing through seven rapids and crossing three inches of yellow muddy land by the Scorching Sea..."

The melody still retains the cheerful and carefree spirit of the Kaoshan tune.

Ye Chen sang very freely and unrestrainedly.

But it conveys a completely opposite sense of absurdity and desolation.

"These lyrics... have a profound meaning," Zi Lin murmured unconsciously.

Murong Fufu nodded in agreement.

"Yiqiu River" and "Gougou Camp" don't sound like proper or nice words at all!

As the accompaniment played, Ye Chen continued singing:

"The forklifter in charge of Gou Gou Camp is called Ma Hu."

"The flower field that stretches for ten miles has a great reputation."

"He has two ears, three nostrils, and a nose; before he even speaks, he turns his back..."

"Pfft~" Murong Fufu burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, Ma Hu, donkey! Hua Chang, nickname! Turning his back before even speaking, isn't that Zhang Rui who likes to spin his chair?!"

"Serves you right!" Zi Lin couldn't help but chuckle. "Good scolding! Without using any vulgarity!"

As Ye Chen sang, her voice was cheerful:

"The stable boy didn't know he was a donkey."

"Then the bird didn't know he was a chicken."

"The brothel has always pretended to be elegant, and eunuchs have always cherished their reputation..."

These two completely lost their composure!

The terms "flower market" and "brothel" are allusions to the entertainment industry, and "eunuch's good reputation" is a blatant accusation that Zhang Rui is lying through his teeth!

Ye Chen is such a troublemaker!

Such sophisticated swearing!

So satisfying, so...artistic!

"Words can be written like this! What a genius!" Murong Fufu couldn't help but laugh.

Even as he sang, Ye Chen was still putting in his best effort!

"A young man named Ma Ji came from the west. He was handsome and dashing, a native of China."

"Only for others to sail the seas and brave the winds and waves, like a dragon adrift on treacherous shoals and ending up in a desolate place."

"He saw that things were always upside down in this land of Rakshasa."

"Ma Hu loved to listen to the songs of the birds, and the roosters crowing at midnight were the harbingers of dawn."

"True feelings are framed on half of the lintel..."

……

Fan group.

The crowd erupted in cheers!

They really enjoyed this song!

"Holy crap! This is awesome! But these lyrics... they're like something out of Pu Songling's Rakshasa Kingdom, yet they also feel like they're talking about reality? I feel like I'm illiterate, this is harder than reading comprehension in the college entrance exam!"

"Emergency refresher! A true fan of the original *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio* is here! The Kingdom of Rakshasa is a place where ugliness is glorified and right and wrong are reversed; the uglier you are, the higher your official rank! Ye Chen is quoting classical texts again!"

"Case solved! The first line of the lyrics, 'Twenty-six thousand li east of Rakshasa Kingdom,' refers to the original story where people from China traveled twenty-six thousand li east to Rakshasa Kingdom, but he sang it ironically! The actual direction is reversed; he's singing about our region! The very first line is the key point!"

"So... he's using the most cheerful tune to sing the most ironic reality?! The theme song for a large-scale documentary about the entertainment industry's 'calling a deer a horse'?"

"It turns out that the first sentence already told us this, but we were completely unaware."

"Chen Tang: You won't listen when I sing properly?! Well then, I'm going to start 'not singing properly'! This time you have no choice but to listen!"

The comment section for Ye Chen's songs was absolutely buzzing!

They were afraid that passersby wouldn't understand what the song was satirizing!

[It used to be called the music scene, with "scene" signifying reverence for heaven; now it's called the entertainment industry, with "circle" signifying pig farming—which brother in the comments section said that? Come out and get some praise! Brilliant!]

"Gougou Camp," "Yiqiu River"... these images are a precise sketch of certain cliques and underhanded corners of the entertainment industry!

"No matter how much you wash it, it's still dirty." This phrase perfectly captures the essence of certain actions that can never be erased! It's both subtle and incredibly satisfying!

Art truly originates from life but transcends it! This isn't just a song; it's a mirror that reveals true nature! A scalpel handed to everyone!

[Never before in the Chinese entertainment industry has a song for a public feud been written, sung, and performed with such artistry and sophistication! Ye Chen, a role model for us all!]

Art originates from life, yet transcends it; what a fine piece of poetry, "Rakshasa Mirage," and what a sharp critique of current affairs!

[Only cultured people can truly insult others! Zhang Rui's blunt criticism is utterly weak! Look at our Chen Tang, who uses allusions, metaphors, and even traditional performing arts to create a cultural phenomenon through her insults!]

[He directly wrote a song to confront her directly, using the story in the lyrics as a metaphor! Chen Tang is amazing!]

[I'm already editing a video analyzing the metaphors in "Rakshasa Mirage"! It's even better when viewed alongside the original book, doubling its impact! Please like, comment, and subscribe!]

……

"That horseman didn't know he was a donkey."

"Then the bird didn't know he was a chicken."

"How can pigs and dogs be allowed to roam in a painted hall?"

"Where did the shoehorn come from to make a ruyi?"

Hear this.

Zhang Rui was so angry that his face was contorted with rage!

He stared intently at the screen, his eyes bloodshot!

Zhang Rui's face was extremely pale; this was just too much for him to handle.

Even if he gets scolded, he wants to understand what the scolding is about!

But this seemingly refined knife pierced too deeply and too cunningly!

He was filled with both hatred and confusion, his mind buzzing!

These simple four lines of poetry caused Ma Boyuan's face to turn a deep, purplish-red!

The "Painting Hall" is a place of elegance and refinement; how can "pigs and dogs" be allowed to enter it?

A shoehorn is an unlucky and lowly object; how could it be used to impersonate a lucky and prosperous ruyi?

These lyrics struck right into the corner of his heart that he least wanted to touch!

Ma Boyuan, born into a privileged family, considers himself a paragon of virtue.

From a young age, my family was filled with learned scholars and no uncultured people came and went.

But after entering this circle, the dirty tricks they did to climb the ladder, the rumors circulating online...

Those friends and relatives who used to chat and laugh with me have gradually stopped liking me.

Just like the song says, "How can pigs and dogs be allowed to roam in a painted hall?"

Ye Chen's song was like a resounding slap across their faces!

I cursed their ancestors for eighteen generations in my heart.

"Snapped!"

Zhang Rui completely lost control and smashed his phone against the wall!

But the music on the phone continued, like the most vicious curse.

Zhang Rui rushed forward like a madman and kicked the phone on the floor!

If he could do it all over again, he would never take this job!

This isn't just being smeared; this is being nailed to the pillar of shame!

Seeing Zhang Rui's insane and ugly state, Ma Boyuan's face also turned extremely ugly!

In fact, this song criticizes more than just the two of them.

"Rakshasa Mirage" criticizes more than just Zhang Rui for unfair judging!

Ye Chen, wielding song as a sword!

The sword is aimed at the judges who manipulate the behind-the-scenes dealings!

It's the capital that's tripping them up behind the scenes, and the music reviews that are hypocritical and sycophantic!

They are all the hypocrites and scoundrels in the industry...

Even the entire entertainment industry is in chaos, where right and wrong are reversed and beauty and ugliness are indistinguishable!

Ye Chen is using his own strength, with song as his declaration!

They launched an indiscriminate and artistic all-out attack on every corner where filth and grime lurk!

Upon seeing this song, Director Shen of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism exclaimed, "The entertainment industry needs a overhaul!"
