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

Chapter 90 Who says only those standing in the light are heroes!
Not everyone in this world is so glamorous.

Not everyone stands in a place of light and grandeur, revered by thousands.

Where there is light, there will inevitably be shadow. Those who stand in the light to protect us are certainly worthy of respect, but who says that those who silently protect us in the shadows are not worthy of respect?
When Shen Ming'en is scrolling through videos, he often comes across videos of people experiencing extremely urgent and life-threatening emergencies, such as acute asthma or heart attacks, or pregnant women about to give birth who need to drive to the hospital as quickly as possible and ask traffic police officers for help to clear the way...

The sight of the traffic police officers who received the call riding their bikes and carrying loudspeakers to clear the way was really cool!

Those drivers who gave way were also very cool!

The neighborhood police officers who handle all sorts of trivial matters for us in our daily lives are always on the call, rain or shine, as long as they receive an emergency call. They deal with family conflicts, neighborhood disputes, theft, robbery, and so on. Which family doesn't care about these things?

If your dog goes missing, you have to call the police!

Aren't they handsome?!

And firefighters, needless to say...

How much contribution have people made during natural disasters such as floods, fires, and earthquakes?

While everyone else was busy escaping for their lives, every firefighter was rushing forward without hesitation, even though moving forward could easily endanger their lives, they still did not hesitate for a moment!
Just like that night when the Yunhai Resort Hotel caught fire, Shen Ming'en knew all too well how terrifying and horrifying the interior of the hotel was, filled with thick smoke...

In some places, such as the doorway of the room he came out of, where the fire started, the ceiling had been burned through and could collapse at any time, potentially hitting someone!

Shen Ming'en noticed these things, but do you think the firefighters didn't?

They noticed it too!
But they still rushed in without hesitation!

Covered in mud, how can they not be heroes?!

At that moment, Shen Ming'en was thinking that those ignorant idiots who jump off buildings or into rivers to commit suicide should really come and see how difficult it is for others!

Anyone who has seen this, anyone who has considered the trouble their actions might cause the police, how could they possibly bother them!
Aren't the firefighters handsome during fire fighting and disaster relief?

When firefighters encounter people contemplating suicide by jumping off buildings or into rivers, they not only refrain from complaining but also offer various words of comfort and guidance. Aren't they cool?!
Which of these people isn't handsome?!
Which of these people doesn't deserve to be praised?!

answer me!
Tall me!

Look in my eyes!

What is emotion?

What is a love song?

Where is the definition of love?
Is it really only the kind of love between men and women that can be called love?!
I love firefighters, I love police officers, I love traffic police, I love medical staff, I love everyone around me who silently contributes to us—how the hell is that not love?!

……

"I love you walking down a dark alley alone!"

"I love the way you don't kneel down!"

"I've faced despair with love, but I refuse to shed a single tear!"

"I love your tattered clothes!"

"Yet they dare to block fate's gun!"

"Loving you is so much like me, we even have the same gaps in our bodies!"

"Shall we go?"

"Are you worthy?!"

"That tattered cloak!"

"To fight!"

"Fight!"

"With the humblest dream!"

"To the sobs and roars of the night..."

"Who says only those who stand in the light are heroes!"

……

Shen Ming'en's singing gradually rose in pitch, and his genuine emotions resonated in everyone's ears. At that moment, everyone who heard his singing seemed to be able to accurately feel the emotions he wanted to express.

People are all the same...

We are all made of flesh and blood, born of parents, with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, and four limbs. No one is more noble than anyone else. Everyone's life is life, no one is made of iron, and everyone can get hurt!

At a fire scene, you feel choked by smoke, and others feel it even more. But if you don't have a wet towel to cover your mouth and nose, they will not hesitate to take off their own filter-type fire self-rescue breathing apparatus, which is the kind of mask that protects against smoke, and put it on your face!

If you can't swim and are swept away by a flood, or accidentally fall into the water, what lifeline do you have? It's someone who risks their life to rush over and hold your hand tightly.

Some people can be immature; they can stand on a high building and threaten to jump because of family conflicts, academic pressure, or even ridiculous relationship problems...

But when you jumped, who was it that risked dislocating their own hand or getting scratched by the wall to hold your hand tightly?

They're human too; they might get hurt while saving you!
But they didn't complain at all!
Even though they ended up covered in mud, at least they protected other people's smiles!
these people!
Which one doesn't deserve respect and praise?!

Who says only those standing in the light are heroes?!
【Holy crap!】

【Goosebumps! 】

The live stream of the Chinese Music Awards program was flooded with comments at that moment!

No...no, that's not it!

[Wasn't this episode supposed to be about singing love songs?!]

Why are you being so sentimental, Hagion?!

[OMG, I'm serious, this is the first time I've ever been so moved by a TV show...]

[My family experienced an earthquake last year. The firefighters who came to the rescue were truly dedicated; after they rescued me, they heard my mother was still inside. The house was almost collapsing, but they still rushed in without hesitation! If it weren't for them, my mother would probably be in serious trouble.]

[Some people see young, handsome firefighters in videos, but I'm not afraid to tell you the truth: I know an uncle who is a firefighter. A few years ago, he was fighting a wildfire nearby and his face was completely disfigured. Eighty percent of his body was burned; there wasn't a single patch of undamaged flesh. It was heartbreaking to see!]

During the period when masks were required, medical staff wore protective suits all day long. When they took them off, their skin was swollen, and some even had their ears turn purple after wearing masks all day...

Last year, my wife gave birth more than two weeks early. We asked a traffic police officer for help to clear the way; what used to be an hour-long journey only took forty minutes. It was truly a life-saving golden opportunity!

So, there's no such thing as a peaceful and tranquil life...

It's just that someone is bearing the burden for us!

[Hajime, you bastard... Sigh, whatever, I'll never join the bandwagon and criticize you again.]

……

Even online it's like this...

Offline, the audience, who were already very supportive of Shen Ming'en, were initially so moved by his song "The Lone Warrior" that they didn't know how to express themselves, but soon burst into cheers...

"Oh……"

"Hakim, you bastard!"

"You really are... haha..."

"Wow, how come you're such a good writer and singer?!"

"How come you always find the best angles?"

"Hahaha...it really is..."

Many people couldn't help but have tears in their eyes and raised their hands to applaud Shen Ming'en.

To be honest...

Prior to this, although Shen Mingen was known online as the "spokesperson for revolutionary songs," and although his recent traffic and popularity had been very high, with many people praising him, some people still felt that he was using revolutionary songs for publicity because of his relationship with those capital entities.

Red songs and mainstream songs that praise our beloved motherland are not suitable for commercial performances; they should be performed in more refined settings.

Red songs should be included in galas for festivals such as Spring Festival, National Day, and Mid-Autumn Festival; red songs should be included in activities themed on patriotic education; even small community events and residents' gatherings can include red songs.

However, the fact that these commercial variety shows frequently use patriotic songs gives people the feeling of hype... This is also one of the methods that many haters use to attack Shen Ming'en.

But at this moment...

When Shen Ming'en, who had just survived a devastating fire, faced the program's theme of "emotion, love, and love songs," and sang "The Lone Warrior," singing the lines "Who says those covered in mud aren't heroes?" and "Who says only those standing in the light are heroes?", as he praised everyone around him who silently gave so much for us...

That feeling was genuine!
At that moment, all the rumors were dispelled!
As I said before, nothing is more convincing than Shen Ming'en, who just survived a fire and was rescued by firefighters, singing "The Lone Warrior"!

It's ridiculous that so many people are saying, "What's the point of him coming this episode if Yao Shuli isn't here...?"

Many online viewers recalled the smear campaign that the haters had stirred up to discredit Shen Mingen, and immediately launched a fierce counterattack!
They came to express their gratitude to the firefighters and to celebrate everyone around us who silently dedicate themselves to our cause!

Some people only see the petty romance between men and women; that's all they can see!

Do you even know what selfless, altruistic love truly means?!

……

At that moment, Shen Ming'en's reputation in the online live broadcast room underwent a complete reversal.

All the voices saying things like "Why did he come if Yao Shuli isn't here?" and "He's doing everything he can to gain traffic" have completely disappeared!

Such a grateful and loving person, such a "Great Love Immortal Venerable," who, besides the sun, could possibly smear him?!

"Wonderma...Wonderma? Wonderma!"

On the high platform, Potato, who had also listened to Shen Ming'en's "The Lone Warrior," felt the same meaning that the song wanted to express. Looking at the shocking scene in front of the stage, he couldn't help but ask three soul-searching questions.

It exploded...

Ma Ling exploded!
After enduring a week of hardship, and just in case something unexpected happened, she only told the "Chinese Music Awards" program team about eliminating Shen Ming'en today during the recording session.

Okay! No! Easy!
She strategized and planned meticulously, and with great difficulty, she brought the situation to this final climax!

I thought that this time, I would finally be able to eliminate Shen Mingen as I wished, suppress and sideline him as I wished, and make him obey me as I wished!

But now...

Everything, yet again... was destroyed in an instant!
no……

no!
You, Hakeem, have nothing better to do than sing "The Lone Warrior"?!
They've already set the topic within the general "comfort zone" of all Chinese singers—[emotions, love, love songs]—and instead of singing a sweet little love song, they're throwing around this whole "great love" thing?!
Are you putting firefighters in a eulogy for me?!

Are you fucking serious?!
Does he really think he's some kind of supreme immortal?!

It really is true that "there's always a way out"!
How about another classic quote, "Who dares to kill me? Who can kill me?"
Yes!
Sparrows are eating it!
Ma Ling couldn't deny that the firefighters who were fighting the fire that night were very handsome...

But the problem is, what do they have to do with the show you're on?

Did they demand that you sing their praises?!

Why are you praising them when you have nothing better to do?!
"puff……"

The funny thing is, the director Niu Zhi and many crew members standing nearby couldn't help but chuckle, and almost burst out laughing!

Tell me the truth!
Just now, when Ma Ling said she was going to eliminate Shen Ming'en, they genuinely felt that Shen Ming'en's chances were slim...

I really think that Ma Ling is too shady, her methods are disgusting, she's playing a damn "double agent" game, even the production team has fallen for her tricks. Shen Ming'en was caught off guard and performed according to the production team's instructions, so he definitely couldn't escape her scheme either...

But what no one expected was...
In this episode, Shen Ming'en actually sang praises to firefighters and all the officers around him who are always there for him no matter the weather!
Rather...

Who can find fault with him?

What kind of topic did the production team require?
It's emotion, it's a love song, it's love!
There's no need to elaborate on the emotions and love songs. As for "love," if you're talking about the inner meaning, Shen Ming'en's "The Lone Warrior" is full of boundless love. If you're talking about the lyrics, it's about loving you walking alone in the dark alley, loving your unyielding demeanor, loving you facing despair without ever crying...

you say!

The word "love" is missing!

Yes, the song Shen Ming'en sang this episode isn't strictly speaking a patriotic song...

At least, it wasn't as righteous and awe-inspiring as previous works like "Wanjiang", "My People, My Country" and "The Great Wall Will Never Fall"!

But the fire and flooding at Yunhai Resort Hotel a couple of days ago caused such a big stir that the whole internet knows about it!

In this context, Shen Ming'en's praise of firefighters is definitely on the right track in terms of overall direction!

In this situation, if you dare to eliminate Shen Ming'en, if you dare to let him be eliminated because of this song...

Not to mention netizens, even the firefighters wouldn't agree to this!

The government won't ignore the firefighters' opinions. If they get blamed by the authorities, the entire entertainment industry combined won't be enough to handle it!
Just say it!
That's it!

Who would dare to eliminate Shen Ming'en?!

It's fair to say that Shen Ming'en, with his performance of "The Lone Warrior," has placed himself in an invincible position from the start!

"……laugh?"

Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces in the control room and listening to their constant laughter, Ma Ling was furious and couldn't help but shout:
"Is it funny?!"

As someone from the production team, she was considered a leader within the program group. With a single shout, everyone in the control room immediately suppressed their gloating expressions.

Director Niu Zhi was too lazy to provoke her at this time and had no intention of paying her any attention. At this moment, the fickle Director Niu was happy that Shen Ming'en had broken through all obstacles and advanced again in this episode, which would bring a huge amount of popularity to their program...

What makes Director Niu say something is that some people, the more you ignore them, the more they make a fool of themselves!
"Did you inform on Shen Ming'en?!" Furious and with nowhere to vent her anger, Ma Ling ran up to Director Niu, grabbed his collar, and shouted menacingly, "Answer me, didn't you?!"

Tall me!

Look in my eyes!

Why!

Why, baby, why!

"...What the hell are you talking about?!" Director Niu felt insulted, raised his hand to slap away Potato's hand, and shouted, "You told us about this at the last minute, how could we possibly have told Shen Ming'en?"

He thought to himself, "I wish I had known sooner, so I could have taken precautions, talked to those sponsors and capitalists earlier, and taken care of you damn bastard!"

"It must have been you!" Ma Ling shouted. "You must have told him through the in-ear monitor right after I finished speaking!"

Although Shen Ming'en did not rehearse, he wore an in-ear monitor. Singers usually need to wear in-ear monitors for formal performances like this, otherwise the sound from the speakers will be too slow and they won't be able to keep up with the beat.

The program's channel could reach the in-ear monitor, so Ma Ling thought that Director Niu had just informed Shen Ming'en through the in-ear monitor, which is why Shen Ming'en changed the song at the last minute.

"...Are you fucking paranoid?!" Director Niu was stunned by these words!
To be honest, he wished he had done the same, but he really wouldn't!

He's innocent! He's been wronged!

Even Dou E couldn't have wronged the butterfly!

"you……"

Ma Ling was about to throw a tantrum when Director Niu shoved his fist right in her face.

"Anyone with a brain knows that Shen Ming'en wrote this song because of the fire a couple of days ago. It's all because of that arsonist. Why don't you say that I also started the fire, and that I did it to get him to sing this song?!"

It was all a coincidence!

If it weren't for the arsonist, if it weren't for the fire, if he hadn't been moved by the firefighters, if Yao Shuli hadn't been hospitalized due to choking and unable to attend the performance, how could Shen Ming'en have given up singing his original love song and instead switched to a song praising firefighters called "The Lone Warrior"?
If you want to blame someone, Hajiling, you can't blame the production team...

Blame it on me!
You also have to blame the arsonist!

"Your mother...your mother!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Speechless after being rebuked, Haji Ling was filled with rage but couldn't vent it on Director Niu, so she could only stand there and howl to the sky.

After a while...

Her bloodshot eyes were wide open, her molars grinding together as she shouted angrily:

"Wei Zihan, I'll fucking swear I'll never forgive you!!!"
