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

"Left Finger Pointing to the Moon is indeed a very nice song, but in my opinion it's just a song that's purely showing off technical skills."

"There's no genuine feeling whatsoever, so it's a pity about Ye Chen..."

As he spoke, Zhang Rui slapped the red light!

Ye Chen is eliminated!

Resurrection failed.

"Don't be fooled by the high notes! This song is difficult to sing, but what kind of traditional Chinese style is this?" Zhang Rui withdrew his hand and continued to argue illogically.

"Ye Chen's song is nothing more than a pop song disguised as a 'traditional Chinese style' song; it's flashy but lacks substance!"

"I'm casting my vote of elimination today because I'm afraid this kind of 'pseudo-traditional Chinese style' will mislead the audience and make it even more difficult to pass on genuine folk music!"

Lin Wei goes without saying.

Apologize?

That is impossible!

She did nothing wrong, why should she apologize?!

Instead, she forced a professional smile: "I admit that Ye Chen's singing skills are amazing, but the revival competition is not just about singing skills, but also about stage presence."

"As an artist, your work needs to be widely disseminated. This song is too difficult; ordinary viewers can't learn or sing it. How can we promote it in the future?"

"If other artists on Flower Island are influenced by him and also start to gain fans by 'showing off their skills', what kind of terrible scenario will that be in the future?"

"I voted to eliminate him today from the perspective of 'the long-term development of the artist and the fans'!"

"What Ye Chen needs is not advancement, but to calm down and hone truly 'down-to-earth' works, rather than relying on high-difficulty works to attract attention."

Lin Wei chuckled inwardly as she said this.

If Ye Chen advances, the second-largest shareholder's "betting trap" will fail.

The benefits she could have received would have been wasted, and the so-called "consideration for fans and artists" was nothing more than a pretext to cover up her own selfish motives.

With only two red lights, the professor abstained.

Currently, if I give one more elimination vote, it will be a tie.

But this is a revival match; a tie means failure to revive.

Thinking of this, she pressed the red light directly.

Ye Chen is eliminated!

The review is complete.

Next comes the introductions.

"One judge abstained, so Ye Chen's elimination and promotion rankings are now 2 to 2," the host announced.

Her tone was filled with sadness and regret: "A 2-2 tie means elimination in the repechage."

"So, unfortunately, Ye Chen, your revival attempt failed, and you have been eliminated."

Instantly, the audience erupted in uproar.

Regardless of the controversy, the production team did not take it seriously, and according to the judges' results, Ye Chen's revival attempt failed.

In other words, he has completely lost this stage.

This result left countless people at the scene sighing with regret.

In the candidate room, the other candidates breathed a long sigh of relief.

They were all numb. If Ye Chen didn't leave, how were they going to make a living on stage in the future?

This show has a lot of exposure, and many artists are striving to become A-list or near-A-list celebrities.

However, Ye Chen had too many fans at the scene, which would reduce their exposure.

Especially Ma Yuanbo, who was wearing overalls, had long been itching to get back at Ye Chen.

At this moment, a cold smile had already crept onto his lips: "Good lad, I almost brought you back to life."

The company's goal is to make Ma Yuanbo the new king of pop.

To this end, the company used all its resources to pave the way for him and to cultivate his interpersonal relationships.

In addition to the judging and assessment process, the program also includes other aspects.

In the later stages, advancing to the next round requires audience voting.

But, there was nothing he could do; he just happened to run into Ye Chen.

Ye Chen has been in the industry for ten years and has a huge fan base. Almost everyone who has been on a TV show has heard Ye Chen's songs.

As long as Ye Chen is on this stage, Ma Yuanbo will find it difficult to garner votes for himself.

He was naturally overjoyed to see his opponent eliminated.

On the judging panel, Lin Wei was all smiles, clearly very happy.

Zhang Rui was also planning in his mind what kind of viral moment Ye Chen would generate today.

Professor Sun's expression remained calm, revealing no emotion or thought whatsoever.

Only Chen Feng sighed deeply, then exchanged a glance with Zhou Guodong and shook their heads helplessly.

Those three people, in the end, bowed to money.

At this moment, the most indignant people were none other than the audience members below the stage.

"Fuck you! They're not even going to act anymore! Ye Chen's song is better than anyone else's. Have all of you judges had your brains eaten by zombies?!"

"It's a rigged competition! It's a rigged competition! The judges at Dogman are rigged!!!"

"You judges, I've put up with you for too long! Zhang Rui, you're lying through your teeth, you've made me laugh."

"Fuck you! Give me my money back!!!"

"..."

Unlike the audience members below the stage who were constantly complaining.

Ye Chen didn't show much emotion.

This stage "accident" was a complete disaster.

In the future, he may have to follow in Chen Feng's footsteps and be unable to make it in the industry.

The only option left is to retire from the entertainment industry and enjoy life.

But even if they retire, their "original self" still exists...

Originally, the plan was to follow the original owner's idea and use this stage to further become a true superstar and fulfill the betting contract.

Then, leave the circle and seek freedom.

But now, it's been aborted at the very first step.

That's fine, there's another option now—make money and then leave the industry!

Earn 300 million in one year!

It sounds difficult, but for Ye Chen now, it's not difficult at all.

It's nothing more than releasing new songs, selling copyrights, and holding concerts...

The original owner chose to become a superstar to train artists for Listening Flower Island, rather than earning 300 million a year.

That's because the "original form" only sings catchy pop songs.

Whether it's holding a concert or

Releasing a new song requires a lot of creative ability. Even after ten years in the industry, the original artist only has about 40 songs.

Selling copyrights to "original" pop songs, these kinds of "experts" aren't popular in the market.

When he holds a concert, his tickets aren't always sold out.

Of course, there is another major reason, which is that at each concert, he only announces the song title, and the rest is all sung along by the fans!

What else could he do? He could only become a "conductor" on stage.

After a year, the microphone still has three bars of battery left!

Anyone would tolerate this.

He wasn't willing to give up, so he created his own "new Chinese style" song – "East Tower Love Story".

To their surprise, the market didn't like it, and the judges even called it a scoundrel.

However, Ye Chen is different now.

Having traveled through time, he had countless classic Chinese songs in his mind!

Even a children's song like "Jade Plate" can dominate the world's music scene.

Not to mention those classic timeless songs.

And those movie and TV theme songs, each one is enough to double the viewership of the corresponding movies and TV shows in this world!

With 300 million yuan a year, the majority of the revenue comes from OST copyright fees.

However, to sell OST copyrights, directors, screenwriters, and producers must first hear and recognize "their" songs.

And this process requires maintaining a profitable business; you can't just sit idly by.

What if the OST doesn't sell? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?

With this in mind, Ye Chen decided to hold a concert first to "make money"!

"Let's release ten new songs first, then hold a concert, and sell the copyrights along the way," Ye Chen muttered to himself as he took out his phone to send a Weibo announcement.

[Ten days from now, the first national tour show – stay tuned!]

He had just finished posting the announcement on Weibo when Xu Hong arrived at the backstage entrance in his van.

"Brother Chen... I just don't understand how we got eliminated!" Xu Hong said with mixed feelings.

How could such an explosive song like "Left Finger Pointing to the Moon" fail to be revived?!

"This lousy production team and terrible judges, they definitely set you up, Brother Chen!" Xu Hong said indignantly.

Actually, Xu Hong is older than Ye Chen.

When Ye Chen was 13 years old, he was discovered and debuted by Jiang Mengting because of his unique voice.

Now, Ye Chen is twenty-four years old and has been firmly established in the music industry for ten years!

Xu Hong, however, has already entered middle age.

However, in Xu Hong's eyes, their line of work is all about ability.

Although Ye Chen was young, he still sincerely addressed him as Brother Chen.

"Let's go back to the company first, Brother Xu." Ye Chen and he each talked about their own things.

Xu Hong nodded and opened the door of the nanny van for Ye Chen.

But after sitting down, Xu Hong couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Chen, when did you secretly create 'Left Finger Pointing to the Moon'?!"

"You have no idea, listening to it backstage, it was like heavenly music! I'm definitely going to listen to it three hundred times over when I get back!"
