Getting back to the topic, Hou Wenjie now only needs to sign with a company and receive normal promotion to become a top star with works to his name!
From the perspective of capital, this is tangible, real money!
No wonder Gu Tianming, the boss of Tianji Media, keeps thinking about it!
On the Antarctic Music platform, it's on the trending charts.
"Love Transfer" firmly holds the number 1 spot!
"Single Love Song" came in second place!
This month, many well-known singers have released songs, but none of them have posed any threat to Hou Wenjie's two songs!
The popularity of these two songs completely overshadowed the songs that followed.
Even in the top ten, the 4th and 7th ranked songs were exposed by netizens for having completely plagiarized melodies!
The singers of the other songs weren't much better off; one by one, they were exposed as mere "musical tailors"!
Of course, the singer later clarified on Weibo that it wasn't plagiarism, but a tribute. It wasn't copying; the melody was just similar.
In the end, such things naturally end up in a mess and fizzle out.
Protecting rights against plagiarism in the music industry has always been very difficult!
Have you not heard that, in many people's memories, Xu Song, who rose to fame during the non-mainstream era, supported half of the internet celebrity circle!
Just copy a chorus melody from Xu Song, piece it together haphazardly, and you can shamelessly claim it as original!
And this is still true in this world!
Netizens have an innate aversion to plagiarism!
If there are good songs like "Love Transfer" to listen to, why listen to plagiarized songs?
This further boosted Hou Wenjie's popularity.
Amidst the anticipation of numerous fans, the fourth episode of "The Rising Star" was released on time!
"Leave your name here, Boss Jiang is my wife!"
"I went to the Kyushu Hotel mentioned in 'How Long Will I Love U,' and the double bed there was nice!"
"Hopefully, the theme for this episode will still be love, and we'll see what songs Hou can sing next!"
"It's been a week. Do you know how I've spent this past week?"
"Let's wait and see what another memorable moment from Boss Hou!"
…
At the start of the program, host Zhang Fei quickly read out the advertising copy before getting to the main topic:
"The rules for this round are that the remaining 18 contestants will compete in pairs, and the 9 winners will directly advance to the top ten!"
The nine who failed will be selected by netizens, and the top four in the vote will advance to the additional round!
Fighting for the last spot in the top ten!
The theme of this issue is traditional Chinese style.
Alright, now let's welcome our first contestant, Su Mo!
…
As the show's main draw for viewers, Hou Wenjie was naturally reserved for the final appearance!
More than halfway through the program, viewers finally saw Hou Wenjie on screen.
The theme of this episode is traditional Chinese style, and the production team had naturally notified the contestants well in advance.
It's impossible for a scene like those in some entertainment novels, where someone with cerebral palsy writes a song on the spot!
When it comes to traditional Chinese style, many people immediately think of Jay Chou's "Blue and White Porcelain"!
It must be said that the song "Blue and White Porcelain" is groundbreaking in the realm of Chinese-style songs.
But after much deliberation, Hou Wenjie realized that since it was a song in the ancient style, there was one song that couldn't be avoided.
Standing on the stage, reflecting on the past week and the lessons he learned from his professional teacher about vocal exercises, he realized he had indeed made rapid progress and was now confident enough to sing this song on stage.
Picking up the microphone, he began, "This episode's theme is ancient style. Since it's ancient style, I think we can incorporate historical heroes and create a grand and majestic song!"
The song is called "Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty"!
As the prelude begins, the sounds of the instruments are like the bugle calls of an army marching forward!
There was also the sound of drums beating, like those of a battle!
There were also roars like warriors fighting a bloody battle!
"Is Boss Hou giving up romance to write war songs?"
"Listen to the intro, the use of this instrument is brilliant! It sounds like a battlefield!"
"The previous ancient style songs were all graceful and delicate, either about watching the flowers bloom at sunset in the east wing or about a lean horse in the setting sun, and all of them were sung by men who were burying flowers, which was a bit cloying!"
"I still prefer songs that have a grand and majestic feel!"
…
After the intro finished, Hou Wenjie's singing began.
[Smoke rises, and the northward gaze reaches the land]
Dragon banners unfurled, horses neighed, swords flashed like frost.
My heart is like the vast Yellow River.
Who can rival us after twenty years of dominance?
Hate and lust, the long sword pointed towards
How many loyal souls of our brothers are buried in foreign lands?
I would gladly die a hundred times to serve my country.
[Sighing with regret, speechless, tears welling in my eyes]
As soon as Hou Wenjie spoke, the live chat exploded!
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! This is still the same Hou Da Lao who sang 'Single Love Song' and 'Love Transfer'!"
I feel like Hou, the guy who sings "Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty," could slap me to death!
"That magnificent momentum, that deep and powerful voice!"
As a long-time fan of Hou, I feel that Hou's singing skills have been improving all the time!
When singing "Single Love Song", her singing skills were only slightly better than some internet celebrity singers, and far from professional level!
By the time they sang "Love Transfer," their performance skills were already at the level of well-known singers in the industry!
And this song, "Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty," is so good that many singers can't match it; it's something only opera singers can use!
All I can say is, Boss Hou is awesome!
He always works hard in secret, then surprises everyone when he comes out!
"So that's how it is! I just thought that opening vocals was amazing, but I couldn't quite put my finger on why!"
Based on these opening lines alone, calling it a "deification of the gods" wouldn't be an exaggeration!
"It feels like a complete dimensional reduction attack! Look at the singing of those people at the beginning, it's like the national team's strength is used to utterly crush Nanshan Kindergarten!"
"What do you know? This is called respect! Boss Hou is just showing excessive respect to his opponent!"
Haha, that utterly hopeless look in his eyes when he was competing against Boss Hou, it cracked me up.
"Damn, this song is getting me all fired up, I really want to find someone to fight!"
Of course, hitting someone is illegal, so I gave my husky a good beating!
…
Soon, the chorus of the first verse arrived!
Horses gallop south, people look north.
People look north, where the grass is green and yellow, and dust flies everywhere.
I am willing to defend the land and expand its territory.
The mighty Chinese nation must yield to all directions
[Congratulations]
"Brothers, everyone stand up!"
"This is the ultimate masterpiece! I won't watch the Spring Festival Gala this year if this song isn't on it!"
"The mighty land of China deserves congratulations from all directions! Just for this lyric, Boss Hou, I'll be your fan for life!"
"Damn it, I didn't cry when I listened to 'Single Love Song,' I didn't cry when I listened to 'Love Transfer,' but I cried when I listened to 'Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty'!"
"Hou's rendition of this song is absolutely powerful! There doesn't seem to be a song more domineering than this!"
"I would gladly die a hundred times to serve my country!" This song is truly beautiful!
It possesses both domineering and unrestrained spirit, and unfulfilled ambitions!
"I am willing to defend our land and expand our territory! I suddenly thought of my brother who is stationed on the border. Listening to this song, I feel proud of him!"
"This song is enough to cement Hou's legendary status in the music industry. It's an insurmountable mountain for ancient-style songs!"
Moreover, the last line of the lyrics, "The mighty Chinese nation should invite congratulations from all directions," is truly exuding domineering power!
And it's full of positive energy!
Listening to this song naturally evokes a sense of national pride!
