The song "The Actor" at the beginning stunned me with its portrayal of the aloof school be

The fifth episode of "Ugly Monster" caused a huge uproar online the night it aired.

[A song that made his ex-girlfriend cry]

Jiang Che's Five Styles All Conferred Godhood

This is truly sophisticated revenge.

Several entries appeared on the list one after another, from 8 p.m. until dawn the next day.

The first to take action were the video clip enthusiasts on various platforms.

They worked overnight to edit Jiang Che's songs from these episodes into a single video.

The show included "The Actor" on the night of the school anniversary celebration, "The Wind Rises" during the auditions, "Moonlight" in the second episode, "Blue Lotus" in the third episode, "Anhe Bridge" in the fourth episode, and "Ugly Monster" in this episode.

Pop, traditional Chinese style, rock, folk, and now this song that hides its sharp edge in its melody.

Six songs, six different playing styles, it's almost impossible to tell they were written by the same person.

The video title consists of only one sentence.

"One person sang about five eras."

Within hours of being posted, it had garnered over ten million views.

The top-voted comment was very straightforward.

"Other contestants are competing for one song, but he's competing for an entire era."

"This can no longer be explained by the word 'talent'."

"Now when I hear someone say he's no good, I know he's going to be in trouble."

"One second I was mocking him, the next I was proven wrong. I've watched this scenario five times."

……

Even professionals in the field couldn't sit still.

Several vocal teachers recorded videos, breaking down the pronunciation and breath control of "Ugly Monster" word by word.

He was halfway through disassembling it when he started shaking his head at the camera.

"This effortless strength is something you can't develop even after years of training."

"That's talent, you can't lie about it."

Some music critics have also specifically analyzed the sophistication of this song.

On the surface, it sings about judging people by their appearance and being looked down upon.

Deep down, every word is a rebuttal to that person who doesn't appreciate the value.

He cursed her mercilessly, and even managed to write a catchy, popular song about her.

"It's another divine song, and another sharp blade."

"You won't find another artist in the entire music industry who can write with this kind of talent."

……

Even some established musicians couldn't resist joining in.

Someone shared the video clip with a caption.

"I've written songs for half my life, but I've never dared to touch so many styles."

"It's not scientifically sound that he, a student, wrote six poems in five terms, and every single one of them was excellent."

Some people even specifically mentioned the phrase "fifteen consecutive reposts".

"That one line alone is enough for many people in our industry to practice for a lifetime."

"Now they've added another song, 'Ugly Monster,' and I don't even know what to say anymore."

The more knowledgeable the person involved, the more they elevate Jiang Che's strength.

Laymen see only excitement, while experts perceive terror.

……

The one who truly brought the hype to its peak was that sharp-tongued music critic.

It's the same person who wrote "Moonlight Gods" before.

This person rarely praises anyone throughout the year, and he never holds back in his writing.

He has thoroughly criticized the new albums of many popular singers in his music reviews.

Everyone in the industry is afraid of his pen.

This time, he broke the rule again.

He wrote a long review with a title of only six characters.

The Beginning of an Era.

In the article, he went through Jiang Che's works from these past few issues one by one.

From the restraint in "The Actor" to the blank space in "The Wind Rises" and then to the fifteen consecutive turns in "Moonlight".

Take them down one by one.

He wrote that the styles of these works are so wide that they seem to be from the same person, yet each one is still a solid work.

He wrote that there is no other person in the entire Chinese music scene who can sing so many songs across multiple styles and achieve legendary status.

At the end of the article, he left with a very weighty statement.

"He came to this show to set a benchmark for the entire new generation."

This statement sent shockwaves through the entire internet once again.

The phrase "setting a benchmark" sounds incredibly weighty coming from the mouth of a harsh music critic who rarely praises anyone.

……

The heat surged like a tide.

On the sidelines, the nicknames "Corner Singer God" and "Face-Slapping Professional" became famous throughout the country.

Overnight, Jiang Che gained a large number of fans who didn't even remember what he looked like.

The story of their feud has been repeatedly analyzed and discussed by netizens.

The scene of Lin Wei being publicly sent away by "Ugly Monster," accompanied by the line "The first sword after landing is to slay the one you love," became the most memorable scene of the month.

Someone dug up the footage of Lin Wei sitting in the center and mocking Jiang Che, and edited it together with the embarrassing scene of her being eliminated.

The contrast between the before and after caused an uproar online.

The inside story of Shengda spending money to buy songs and finally backing down has been gradually exposed and repeatedly criticized in the comments section.

"A top-tier company, having exhausted all its resources, was defeated by a student who hadn't even signed a contract."

"This is a complete disgrace."

"If we hadn't provoked him back then, Shengda would still be in a better position."

"It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away. Shengda has really messed up this time."

……

In the male dormitory of Jiangcheng University.

Wang Haoran turned the volume up to the maximum and shouted at the screen, not even bothering to wipe up the spilled soda on the table.

He scrolled through the trending topics praising Jiang Che, and paced back and forth in his dormitory excitedly.

"See that? Now that's what you call a brother!"

"Those guys who cornered him back then are now just background figures!"

"And that ungrateful wretch deserves to be trending on social media for all the wrong reasons!"

He became increasingly smug, and grabbed his phone to send Jiang Che more than thirty voice messages in a row.

From how he recognized Jiang Che as a genius so early on, to how those who underestimated Jiang Che were proven wrong, it all boils down to the same thing.

Brother, you've become a god.

Jiang Che lay on the bed, looking at the screen full of voice messages, shook his head with a smile, and picked the shortest one to reply to.

"Okay, go to sleep."

He has always taken a very indifferent attitude towards the praise he receives online.

No matter how much you praise him, his mental music library won't gain or lose a single song.

He has a long way to go, and this current level of popularity is not worth him lingering on.

……

Just as the entire internet was in an uproar over Jiang Che.

The competition for "I Am a Singer-Songwriter" is also progressing rapidly.

Jiang Che maintained a commanding lead throughout the series, dominating his opponents for two consecutive rounds without offering any resistance.

As elimination round after round went by, fewer and fewer contestants remained on stage.

When the show started, it had a full 100-person cast, a dazzling array of stars, and everyone felt they had a chance to win.

Now, only eight remain.

Everyone felt that the show should take advantage of its popularity and end in a grand finale.

Right at this critical juncture.

The production team suddenly gathered all eight remaining contestants together.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was unusually heavy.

The host stepped onto the stage, his face devoid of any of his usual relaxed demeanor.

He glanced at the eight faces below the stage and slowly began to speak.

Congratulations everyone, you've made it to the quarterfinals!

He paused.

"But the truly brutal part is only just beginning."

The words fell.

Three words suddenly lit up on the large screen behind him.

Playoffs.

The hearts of all eight contestants sank simultaneously.
