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

Chapter 132: Forwarded by the Navy's official account! A classic that stands up to scrutiny!

"Lili Mei," also known as "Lingao Lili Mei," refers to Lingao County in Hainan. "Lingao Lili Mei" is a fishing song that has been sung by local fishermen for nearly a thousand years. This fishing song originated from the cries of fisherwomen selling fish and later incorporated labor scenes such as beachcombing and net weaving, forming the iconic interjection "Liya Lili Mei" and an impromptu duet style.

This singing style has a very strong local cultural flavor and lyrical quality. Its melodic structure and rhythmic pattern are very sophisticated. When it is integrated into a work praising the navy, the work retains the solemnity of military songs while adding the dynamism of maritime culture.

all in all……

From the lyrics, composition, theme, and so on, "Night at the Military Port" has left many people like President Qin, who have truly understood the song, in awe!

Ridiculous...

That's absolutely outrageous!
President Qin never imagined that this bastard Hajien would know so much about the culture of Hainan fishermen's songs!

He's clearly a true mountain man, and his ancestral home has always been in Shandong province...

How the hell does he manage to sing "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" in Cantonese so perfectly one minute, then sing "The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" with such authentic Tibetan accent the next, and then create "Night at the Military Port" in the style of a seaside fisherman's song that is simply breathtaking?
President Qin even suspected that this was a novel world, and that Shen Ming'en was the protagonist with his own system.

Without a system, who the hell could be this outrageous?!

This is unreasonable! It's so unreasonable!!!

President Qin's situation was already desperate enough...

Who knew that next door, Shen Ming'en would suddenly start reciting poetry!
……

"The night in the naval port is quiet."

"The waves gently rocked the warship."

"Young sailors, their heads resting on the waves."

"A sweet smile appeared in her sleep."

……

Recitation, especially poetry recitation, is something that usually appears in variety shows. Besides being so awkward it makes you cringe, it serves no other purpose.

Generally, this kind of segment appears in variety shows that require "talent performances," and is only chosen when variety show personalities or actors who have no other talent to perform have no other options.

This stuff, to put it nicely, is traditional culture, reciting poems and lyrics to praise our country's long history; to put it bluntly, it's just pure disgust.

Taking musical works as an example, the vast majority of musical works on the market now follow a structure where the verse and chorus are sung in section A, then repeated in section B, and finally the chorus is sung again at the end.

A slightly more sincere approach would involve changing the lyrics of the B verse, adding a bridge (or what's called a bridge section), and ending with a more meaningful lyric...

That's pretty much it.

They are basically all the same, with little difference, and are quite traditional.

Therefore, after listening to the complete A section of Shen Ming'en's "Night at the Military Port," many people assumed that he would follow this "tradition" in his performance of the rest of the song...

But the truth is quite the opposite!

In Shen Ming'en's B section, although the lyrics were the same, he adopted a singing style that was "almost like recitation"!

And that kind of recitation...

Oh dear, how should I put it...

You took Chinese language classes in elementary school, right?
In Chinese class, did your teacher ever teach you how to recite a text in a "vivid and expressive" way?

Yes, yes...

That's the feeling!
Shen Ming'en used a vivid and descriptive approach to "recite" that passage of lyrics!

As mentioned earlier, "recitation" in variety shows is a mess; even Gou would shake his head at it...

For some reason, Shen Ming'en's poetry recitation inexplicably made the audience feel particularly immersed!
Perhaps it was because the entire verse and chorus created a perfect atmosphere, its infectious power deeply resonating in the minds of every audience member. The audience was already immersed in that mood, so listening to this recitation, they didn't feel awkward or pulled out of the scene; in fact, they even felt...

Just right!

yes……

It was just right!

It's as if Shen Ming'en transformed the lyrics into a kind of "sound poem" through the ups and downs of his tone and the gentle changes in rhythm!
The feeling was so peculiar, it's hard to describe...

It's as if the previous performance was Shen Ming'en drawing back a grand curtain.

This poetry recitation is like a supporting beam erected for this grand curtain!
The overall effect makes the emotional expression of the song more three-dimensional and perceptible!
"Oh……"

Many viewers who considered themselves to have good taste couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Director Niu, backstage, broke out in a cold sweat upon witnessing this scene, muttering to himself, "He really dares to use anything..."

Yes!

They dare to use any style!
Listen to his song "Night at the Naval Port"—it's a gentle melody, a sea murmur, a fisherman's song, a music textbook, and a poetry recitation all at once…

These are completely different from the mainstream market and the pop music market!
Despite its meticulous research and classic status, if things aren't handled well, the audience might not accept it, and Hakeem could easily become a "ghost"!
That being said, Director Niu had to admit that Shen Ming'en really made the right gamble...

There was definitely an element of gambling in his bet, but he succeeded and won. And when such an exceptionally well-crafted piece wins, the resulting entertainment value is unmatched by any of the previous pieces!

Director Niu realized this, as did the group of patriotic creators backstage, and even Haji Ling herself...

Many of them might not have noticed the comments on the live stream discussing Shen Ming'en's rendition of "Night at the Military Port," but one thing they all noticed was that the audience in the studio had gone from slight disappointment at the beginning of the song to...

His face was full of anticipation!
Yes!

It's become something to look forward to again!
Regardless of the type of work, and regardless of whether it is praised or criticized by peers, the audience's reaction is the most direct indicator!
A work of art is always meant for the audience to hear. Whether it's good or bad, as long as the audience appreciates it, then it's definitely a good work!
They knew this all too well!

same……

Even those rabble in the teahouse, far away in Shanghai, knew exactly what was going on.

The camera just panned across the audience during the broadcast of "Chinese Music Awards: Red Song Season". Seeing the audience's reaction, the smiles on their faces disappeared, and they could no longer even utter sarcastic words.

"No, this..."

"What the hell is this...?"

Why is that?

The three people—the woman in the suit, the fat man, and the white-haired man—looked at each other, their only emotions being "doubt" and "puzzle"!
They actually lack musical literacy. To be honest, they wouldn't normally listen to or even watch a piece like Shen Ming'en's "Night at the Military Port"...

The rhythms, melodies, lyrics, and even the poetry recitations within are things they have absolutely no interest in on a daily basis.

But for some reason, while listening to this song, they were inexplicably drawn into it...

It was as if Shen Ming'en stretched out a Buddha's palm in the song, grabbing them all at once and throwing them all into the artistic conception of the song "Night at the Military Port".

They were completely bewildered when they were inexplicably thrown into the naval port under the cover of night, having no idea how they had been dragged in!
Damn it, an illusion? When did this happen...?

Eliminate him!

The overweight, middle-aged man had always been short-tempered, and he immediately retorted:
"Who cares how relatable he is? If he can't understand it, why not eliminate him?"

Don’t say that!
Don't tell me!
The middle-aged fat man's words, though crude, are not without merit...

I was moved, but I don't know what moved me or how I was moved. I can't explain it. Why can't I eliminate you?!
"9494!" The white-haired man next to him echoed.

The woman in the suit didn't do that; she just glanced at Lin Bei and then at President Qin, the tea master.

"Eliminate him?" As President Liu's gaze swept over him, President Qin, the tea master, whose face was already dark and gloomy, became even more furious...

"Mr. Ma, eliminating him was your own decision. Don't involve us if anything happens afterward," he said as calmly as possible.

Mr. Ma was referring to the overweight middle-aged man, who was stunned upon hearing this!
Mr. Ma: "???"

Ber... what?

How the hell did it become my own idea?!
What are you doing, Mr. Qin!
The reason we're all gathered here is to get back at Shen Ming'en, isn't it?!

Aren't we in the same boat?!

Even if his song is incredibly moving, if I don't understand it, and I eliminate him, is there anything wrong with that?

What do you mean by that?!

Not only was President Ma puzzled, but everyone in the room looked at President Qin with curiosity, including Lin Bei...

Clearly, no one understood the nuances of Shen Ming'en's song "Night at the Military Port".

"Ugh……"

Faced with everyone's gaze, President Qin sighed helplessly, and then explained to them all the elements of the sea and fishermen's songs in Shen Ming'en's song, the connotations he wanted to express, and his concerns about it being a "textbook".

"This……"

Upon hearing this...

Everyone was stunned for a moment!

To be honest, they had considered many of the things President Qin mentioned, especially the elements and connotations of the Hai Nan fishermen's songs...

But they really didn't consider the "textbook" aspect!

Don't say...

You fucking have to admit it!
This song really does sound like something from a textbook!
They thought it sounded familiar, and it turned out to be the tune of one of the songs they learned in music class in elementary and middle school!

It involved both recitation and reading comprehension...

This is seriously incredibly educational!

"President Qin, this... is impossible, right?" Seeing this, the woman in the suit, President Liu, couldn't help but ask.

"What's impossible about it?" President Qin said helplessly, "Which of his works isn't being played repeatedly in primary and secondary schools across the country?!"

If you randomly grab an elementary school kid on the street and try to "exchange signals" with him, you might sing "The red sun rises in the east," but he might not be able to respond with "The great road is filled with rosy clouds." If you sing "Youth has its own youthful exuberance," they might not be able to respond with "His body is as upright as mountains and rivers."

But if you sing "I love you, I walk alone in the dark alley," they will definitely respond with "I love you, I won't kneel down!"
Shen Ming'en's image is now so deeply ingrained in people's minds, and he has a famous song like "Me and My Motherland" that has been covered by singers from various national teams. How could the country not pay attention to such an educational work that fits the style of our national music textbooks?

However, if the state notices this and wants to include it in textbooks...

So!

Let alone them!

Let alone those people in the entertainment industry who are itching for money...

Even those trillion-dollar industry giants wouldn't dare utter a word of dissent! Our country isn't like South Korea; our country will absolutely not be controlled by capital!
"..."

Inside the tea room, the aroma of tea filled the air, but the motley crew could no longer utter a single word.

yes……

If Shen Ming'en's work is included in textbooks, if they eliminate Shen Ming'en because of this song "Night at the Military Port"...

So even if the government doesn't actively cause them trouble, those netizens, Shen Ming'en's fanatical fans, will definitely "settle scores" with them later!
"It's ruined..."

Sitting opposite President Qin, Lin Bei stared blankly, muttering to himself:

"Now it's ruined again..."

yes……

It's ruined again!
They really didn't expect that, even though they had come up with such a solemn and serious topic as "August 1st," where the slightest mistake or carelessness could lead to a precipice, Shen Ming'en was still able to create such a popular work based on such a topic!

Even more unexpectedly, despite being specifically targeted at Shen Ming'en and given a last-minute notification about the "average vote rankings for the second round of battles," this guy still managed to break through the ranks...

His two works in this episode, whether it's "I Love This Blue Ocean" or "Night at the Military Port," were both written on the spot, which was completely unexpected for them!
……

"Sea breeze, you blow so gently~"

"The waves gently rock me~"

"Sailors on long voyages—how arduous their work!"

……

On stage, Shen Ming'en's performance was nearing its end.

As he sang the last line of the song, his gaze, directly facing the camera, seemed to shimmer with the light of "the army and the people are one family."

He sang:

……

"When the morning glow paints the sea red..."

"Look, our warships are about to weigh anchor!"

……

The last line of the lyrics always contains a special meaning, just like the description in Shen Ming'en's "Night at the Military Port," which implies the sense of responsibility of soldiers to be on standby at any time, while conveying the confidence of the military and civilians to jointly safeguard peace!

Reading comprehension!
It's truly reading comprehension ingrained in the DNA of Chinese people!
Often, it's not that people want to do reading comprehension; it's just that the impression is so strong that they feel compelled to analyze certain things...

Aren't there countless examples like "Do you really understand Marvel?" and "Do you really understand Let the Bullets Fly?"?

Sometimes it's not that language teachers have ingrained reading comprehension into the DNA of Chinese people; it's just that Chinese people are inherently inclined to analyze!
However, Shen Ming'en's work is one that can withstand scrutiny and analysis, with each step being analyzed in a very thorough and interconnected manner!

Outrageous!
Outrageous!

"Thanks……"

After the performance, Shen Ming'en put away the microphone and bowed deeply to the audience and the camera.

A faint smile played on his lips, and the atmosphere in the audience was nowhere near as lively as it had been during the performance of "I Love This Blue Ocean"...

However, after a brief period of silence...

"Crack...crack..."

People started applauding Shen Ming'en.

One small change can have far-reaching consequences, and then...

"Clap clap clap..."

The entire audience erupted in applause!
"it is good!"

“The needle doesn’t poke!”

Many people at the scene were whispering among themselves:

"This song really resonates with me..."

"It's been so long since I've heard such a profound and meaningful work..."

"Sigh, these young people these days don't understand anything we hear, what is all that stuff..."

"It has to be the old songs whose style can withstand scrutiny and whose classics will be passed down through generations!"

……

The online and offline reviews were overwhelmingly positive. No one expected that at a performance of a program praising the local people, everyone would be captivated by a quiet and peaceful fisherman's song!

As it turns out, music, even mainstream songs or revolutionary songs, doesn't necessarily have to be so grand, magnificent, and heroic...

Red songs can also be very down-to-earth!

Red culture has never been something just for the local people, but something that all the people across the country aspire to!
"Damn it..." Looking at the scene on the stage, Haji Ling was so angry that she almost rushed up and started a fight with Shen Ming En!

No...

That Shen Ming'en, he... he found a brilliant angle for him again, and then he did the opposite again?!
This guy is truly amazing. In the first round of performances, when everyone's musical styles were largely similar, he forced everyone's style to "follow his lead" with his song "I Love This Blue Ocean," unifying them into a more rugged style...

But while everyone else was shouting in unison, he turned around and became completely quiet and peaceful!

That was unexpected...

Nobody really understands what this guy is thinking!

It feels like everyone's being led astray by him; they're all pouting!

"grass……"

Even the veteran backstage worker Yue Huochuan was furious, his face turning red. After calling out the name of the plant, he gritted his teeth, stood up, and slammed the door shut as he left.

The road is impassable. Let whoever wants to record this crappy 13-point program record it!
With Hajime causing trouble, none of them can record properly!
In comparison...

"Ah ha ha……"

Director Niu couldn't stop smiling.

Director Gang Niu reviewed the voting results on site. The data showed that Shen Ming'en's "I Love This Blue Ocean" in the first round overwhelmingly defeated everyone else, and his "Night at the Military Port" in the second round even received a higher vote rate than in the first round!

In summary……

As expected, Shen Ming'en came in first place again this week!
OK……

good good!
This dad is really something else!
Now, Director Niu just hopes he can last a little longer!

No one is allowed to eliminate my dad! No one is allowed!!!

……

"#Shen Ming'en's 'I Love This Blue Ocean,' a large-scale military propaganda song!"

"#Shen Ming'en's 'Night at the Military Port,' showcasing the close bond between the military and civilians! The military and civilians are one family!#"

"#Night at the Naval Port, a piece worthy of being included in textbooks!#"

"#Just asking, is Shen Ming'en's 'Night at the Military Port' a reading comprehension exercise?"

"#So what if it's a second round battle? Do you think you can take down Thunder's Yata Ryan with your little tricks?"

"#Emperor Ming'en: Behold my power to break through all laws!#"

"#So, which song, 'Night at the Military Port' or 'I Love This Blue Ocean,' was actually composed by Shen Ming'en on the spot?#"

On the night the performance ended, Shen Ming'en and his two new songs, "I Love This Blue Ocean" and "Night at the Military Port," topped the trending lists on major social media platforms!
The two songs performed on stage, one gentle and one strong, combined in a harmonious way, and received unanimous praise from netizens!
The comments section below was buzzing with activity, everyone was commenting:
[Hahaha... I'm dying of laughter! Those investors wanted to use a last-minute, impromptu second-round battle to eliminate my brother, but they didn't expect his impromptu creations to be of such high quality!]

[Sparrow's meal, I didn't expect that even with all this targeting, Harkin would still manage to break through. He's grinding his teeth to powder, hahaha...]

I'm now curious, which of these two songs was written on the spot?

[I feel like "I Love This Blue Ocean" was written on short notice, since "Night at the Naval Port" was such a meticulously researched piece...]

[You mean the song "I Love This Blue Ocean" by Simple Brothers?]

All I can say is that, regardless of which song was impromptu, it's enough to demonstrate my brother's extraordinary talent!

……

cool!

It's enjoyable to immerse yourself in the story, and it's even more enjoyable to immerse yourself in Shen Ming'en!

His story of "single-handedly resisting capital" is a very exciting and thrilling male protagonist story. He repeatedly tramples the capital that makes him difficult under his feet, which makes everyone feel so satisfied that their breasts are tingling!

To be honest, even Shen Ming'en's fans didn't expect that he would be able to stand out from the crowd after being notified at the last minute to sing an extra song...

Even Shen Ming'en's fans thought he was definitely going to lose this game.

The results of it?
As a result, Shen Mingen not only didn't die, but also turned the tide again!

He has truly become the embodiment of the phrase "turning the tide against all odds," it feels like this phrase was tailor-made for him!
originally……

Everyone's already had enough fun...

I'm already having a blast with Shen Ming'en!
But to everyone's surprise, something even more exciting happened the next day!
After a whole night of buzz, "Chinese Music Music Center: Red Song Season" was being discussed almost across the entire internet by sunrise the next morning.

At that time, it was already very popular...

Around noon, a trending topic suddenly appeared and topped the trending list on various platforms without any warning.

At first, many netizens were quite angry, thinking that it was very fake for someone to buy trending searches at this time.
Who can overshadow the popularity of Emperor Ming at this time?

But upon closer inspection...

I almost knelt down in submission.

The trending topic read like this:
"#The official Navy account reposted Shen Ming'en's 'I Love This Blue Ocean' and 'Night at the Naval Port'!"
