I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

He said it was all in the past, but he still felt uneasy about it.

Anyone would be upset about being eliminated, but Long Fan cheated and asked for a day off. Does he really feel good about it?

If Zang Da is considered a hothead, he certainly is. He not only offended the other side, but he may also have offended the production team.

However, for him, he was a good hothead.

Saying this during a live broadcast can actually garner more sympathy from the audience.

Qin Yunshang and the others all turned their gazes toward Chen Ya at this moment.

Yu Xiaoxiao was still immersed in the emotions of eliminating the two herself, so she naturally didn't dare to speak;

Qin Yunshang originally wanted to smooth things over, but considering her own status, she felt that she was the least qualified to discuss the issue of fairness.

Lu Chujiu barely passed the last round, so it can be said that she is a beneficiary of the system, and therefore it is not appropriate for her to say anything.

Only with Jinlan did she feel conflicted.

She originally hated Chen Ya to the core, but in this matter, it seems that Chen Ya really did not have a problem.

Chen Ya wrote all the songs right under her nose, and he could write them in half an hour after he got home. He was very fast.

In short, everyone wanted to see how Chen Ya would react.

After listening to this passionate accusation, Chen Ya simply smiled.

The trainee's tone was somewhat confrontational, but also bordering on impotent rage.

He said to the trainee, "So what if this is unfair? What are you going to do about it?"

Chen Ya asked this question with an air of complete indifference to his emotions, making him seem a bit like a villain.

Zang Da was stumped by the question, and after a moment, he blushed and said:

"There's nothing we can do, but knowing this will make Li Ge and the others feel a little better."

"It feels like you're trying to shift the blame to the composers on your side," Chen Ya said.

Zang Da's face turned even redder: "I didn't mean that!"

Another trainee behind him said, "Yes, that's right. Don't try to sow discord. Zang Da didn't mean that."

Qin Weili pursed his lips. Zang Da was tongue-tied and had been so easily outmaneuvered; he was anxious.

He considered it for a moment and said, "Of course Zang Da didn't say that Professor Kamoda was bad. If you say it's unfair, it's also unfair to Professor Kamoda."

After listening, Chen Ya said, "You also think it's unfair?"

Qin Weili hesitated to express his opinion. He was resentful, but wanting to avoid offending anyone, he remained silent, carefully choosing his words:

"I'm fine, but if Long Fan were here, he would definitely stand up for me again."

After saying that, he added, "A loss is a loss. Of course, I don't think there's anything wrong with Mr. Kamoda's composition. I just think the competition could have been fairer."

Chen Ya said, "The competition is indeed unfair. Your teacher, Kamoda, wrote three songs in two weeks. Let me do the math. I wrote and arranged these two songs in just one week."

After saying that, he smiled and said, "It is indeed unfair to me. So you still feel it is unfair to yourself? I can only understand it as you implying that the music written by Mr. Kamoda is not good."

Zang Da, who was standing nearby, found a loophole in his words and pointed at Chen Ya, saying:

"You're talking nonsense! This show started airing a week ago. You said you write two songs a week? Didn't you know you were going to participate in the show?"

This time, before Chen Ya could speak, Yu Xiaoxiao spoke up:

"Uh... Chen Liang really didn't know."

“Yes,” Qin Yunshang said. “Guo Xiaoran was originally scheduled to participate in this program, but he suddenly had something to do and couldn’t come. So Chen Liang was asked to participate overnight. He himself was also confused.”

Yu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and continued, "I can't guarantee it for others, but Chen Liang definitely wrote two songs in a week. He's never written songs before."

"..."

After hearing this, the Japanese trainees were speechless.

Kind of embarrassing.

I originally wanted to elaborate on the "unreasonable setup of the program" to highlight that Qin Weili and his team's performance was not bad.

Unexpectedly, this performance resulted in his face not being covered, but his buttocks being exposed instead.

They felt wronged, but Chen Liang felt even more wronged! He was really just someone temporarily pulled in to fill in.

The live stream chat was in an uproar. Many viewers were also shocked to learn that the show was for real.

"I thought it was all just for the show, but I didn't expect it to actually be an impromptu composition?"

"No, it should be Chen Liang who composed the music on the spot, because he was filling in for someone else and didn't even know he was going to participate."

"Who said he definitely didn't know before? Do you dare say he didn't know he replaced Guo Xiaoran?"

"Are you crazy?! Chen Liang wasn't a songwriter before, how could he have orchestrated everything to replace Guo Xiaoran?"

"Hilarious! These trainees are still crying their eyes out here, while Chen Liang hasn't said anything. Compared to them, it's obvious who the real clown is."

……

Just then, a deep voice came from behind:

"There's no point in asking him that. Does it make a difference whether he writes a song in a week or a month?"

Chapter 431 A Premeditated Crime

"Does it make a difference whether he writes a song in a week or a month?"

Everyone looked over and saw that the one speaking was a tall trainee sitting at the very back.

He was tall and burly, and hadn't said a word until now, like a silent gourd.

I didn't expect his first words to be so sarcastic.

Chen Ya looked at him and asked, "What do you want to say?"

The tall trainee had a somewhat arrogant expression:

"Your song is the most catchy one out of all the songs, with no technical skill involved. Isn't that a widely accepted fact?"

Yu Xiaoxiao, standing to the side, asked somewhat urgently, "Who is it that you mean by 'generally recognized'?"

Chen Liang's previous song was no ordinary song; both mentors gave it a perfect score.

The trainee's statement that the song was generally considered poorly written is a direct slap in the face to Yu Xiaoxiao.

However, the trainee hadn't realized this yet and continued outputting:

"Isn't that right? Even singers who have sung Chen Liang's songs say so. Your songs are just pop songs."

After he finished speaking, Jin Lan felt a surge of nervousness.

In the first round, she said that Chen Liang's songs were just pop songs, but of course, Chen Liang later refuted her completely.

However, in the audience's minds, all they remember is that Jin Lan said Chen Liang's songs were just pop songs.

“Oh no, I shouldn’t call it a pop song,” the tall trainee said. “Your last song had only four lines of lyrics. Even pop songs aren’t this weak.”

Yu Xiaoxiao's expression was somewhat unpleasant as she said, "Chen Liang is just not good at writing lyrics, but the composition and arrangement of his song are very good."

"Isn't that basic composing?" the trainee continued. "That's why I said asking you this is pointless. You could write that song without spending any time. I'd believe you if you said you wrote it in an hour."

Qin Weili turned around and said, "Say less!"

Zang Da chuckled from the side: "Finally, someone's speaking for me! I'm bad with words and can't express myself well, you're practically my best mouth double!"

The tall boy looked at Chen Ya defiantly and said:

"Then tell me, did you deliberately write the lyrics poorly, or did you lack the ability and just throw in any old word at the end to fool people?"

His question was so pointed that everyone's eyes turned to Chen Liang, eager to hear his answer.

The atmosphere here was becoming increasingly tense, and the chat in the live stream became even noisier.

Moreover, the focus of the debate in the bullet comments was entirely on "how good is Chen Liang's lyric writing skills?"

"I think 'Ah Zhen Fell in Love with Ah Qiang' is a great song. The lyrics are probably meant to capture that kind of simple beauty."

"It's just plain rustic, what's with this talk of simple beauty? You can't even defend that."

"The lyrics of 'Ah Zhen Fell in Love with Ah Qiang' are indeed a bit bad, while the lyrics of 'Plum Jam' are very good. I feel that Chen Liang definitely has the ability to write lyrics, and he wrote them that way on purpose."

"What a load of crap. 'Plum Jam' is just cheesy lyrics, completely meaningless. It's not even as good as 'Ah Zhen Fell in Love with Ah Qiang'."

"I advise Chen Liang's sons to stop trying to defend him. I've never seen anyone so stubborn when things are going against them."

"Exactly, it's hard to find information about your father Chen Liang's compositions. You can just take them out and brag about them and that's it. But you insist on defending the lyrics, which even elementary school students can distinguish between good and bad. It's really laughable."

"As long as the composition sounds good, why do the lyrics have to be good too? To be honest, I feel like this trainee is just impotent and furious."

"The show was rigged. How would you feel if your teammate was eliminated? I think he has a strong sense of justice."

"How is 'Ah Zhen Fell in Love with Ah Qiang' rigged? Of all the songs in the last round, this one was the most energetic and should have been number one!"

……

Meeting the challenging gaze of the tall trainee, Chen Ya simply smiled.

"Music, as an art form, uses both songs and lyrics to express emotions. The two are a whole. Sometimes, if the song can express the emotion, the lyrics don't need to express much more."

He paused for a moment, then added, "As for whether writing such simple lyrics is a sham, it's really not. I deliberately wrote them this simple."

Yu Xiaoxiao, standing beside him, said, "The melody of this song is very playful, and also... subtle. The simpler the lyrics, the easier it is for the listener to focus on the melody. Is that why, Chen Liang?"

Yu Xiaoxiao helped with the reading comprehension, which should have gotten full marks, but Chen Ya said:

"That's not the main reason. The main reason is that my lyrics are too complicated, and Jinlan can't remember them."

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

Chen Ya said with a hint of helplessness, "Jin Lan's main problem is her memory. If the lyrics are complicated, she forgets the tune; if the tune is complicated, she forgets the lyrics. So we have to write something simpler. That's the reason. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Jinlan's expression resembled that of a kitten with its fur standing on end.

I'm so angry! I'm so angry!

In front of so many people, they made me sound like an idiot!

The tall trainee was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

He had actually prepared several arguments to rebut Chen Liang, and he had a response no matter what Chen Liang said.

But he never expected Chen Liang to give this reason.

"No, well..." the tall trainee frowned, "Anyway, the way you wrote the song, I feel like it lacks sincerity..."

"enough."

Qin Yunshang spoke.

Moreover, her tone was clearly not very good.

Everyone looked at her, and saw that Yun Chang'er, who was usually cheerful, had a dark face, clearly angry.

"No matter how bad the song is, both mentors gave it full marks in the last round. Do you think we mentors are being unfair?"

The tall trainee didn't dare to respond. Even if he felt the show was rigged, he didn't dare to say it on stage. He just mumbled a few words, not knowing what he was saying.

Qin Yunshang then turned to Chen Ya: "Chen Liang, what are you doing, being so humble to a child? Some people only look at appearances. If you're humble, they'll just think you're weak."

She turned her head with an air of dominance and said, "The live broadcast of the show was suspended for a while that day, so the audience probably doesn't know what happened. Let me tell you why Chen Liang's song won first place. Do you know who the backing vocals were?"

Qin Yunshang took a deep breath and said, "Chen Liang invited Shiina Apple, Utada Teru, and Nakajima Miyuki to do backing vocals!"

The tall trainee didn't react for a moment, and Zang Da's expression froze. No one spoke for a while.

The main problem is that the news Qin Yunshang released was too outrageous, and it sounded unreal.

Yu Xiaoxiao had been holding back for a long time, but after Qin Yunshang spoke, she finally felt triumphant and said:

"Yeah, when the harmonies came out, I was completely stunned. I was so close to them, but I was too scared to ask for autographs. I never imagined that Chen Liang was so familiar with the three of them!"

These Japanese trainees might not agree with the assessment of others, but these three singers are among the most famous in Japan.

Among them, Shiina Apple calls herself a Shinjuku-style diva and is a signature figure of Kabukicho. They can see a lot of Shiina Apple's music videos on their way to work, and it's no exaggeration to say that they are brainwashing.

Qin Yunshang nudged Chen Ya with her elbow, clearly annoyed, and said:
