Chapter 68 The world kisses me with pain, and I return it with songs Without any promotion, he won the first place on "Music Bank" and "Inkigayo" that week! In the Peninsula's music world, this is a very explosive thing. Needless to say, the person who accomplished this feat was a Chinese. In the mainland KPOP circle, fans were so excited that they shouted "It's dawn"! Over the years, there has been no shortage of workers from China going to the Peninsula to develop their careers in the music industry, but only a few have made a name for themselves. Even those who debuted in SM Entertainment were considered marginal characters in the group. Although the group's achievements are brilliant, the domestic members' personal popularity and fame are always a little lacking, and are not as popular as the members in the team. The only one who is really making a name for himself in the Peninsula music scene is Jin Shiming, and he deserves the title of “big trend”! "Great, my brother Feng, two of you have won first place! Try harder next week and get a few more!" "I unilaterally declare that Gwanghwamun will be renamed Xuanwumun!" "My brother is great, no need to say more! He really... I am crying to death!"
"Hurry up and restock the stock. Bring me the reissued albums. I want to buy them!" Mainland fans know how to make fun of Jin Shiming. Since his name is similar to Emperor Taizong of Tang, they gave him the nickname "Er Feng", which later led to nicknames such as "Brother Feng" and "Tian Khan". However, this kind of appropriate creation and use of memes has, to a certain extent, spread Jin Shiming's popularity in the mainland. Today, Korean dramas are all the rage throughout Southeast Asia, and there is also a craze for Korean dramas among young people in China. Even the general public who don’t watch Korean dramas or know KPOP singers have inevitably heard of hit songs such as "Nobody", "gee", and "Ring Ding Dong". Therefore, the evaluation of Korean Wave in China has shown a serious polarization trend. Those who like them love them to death and think that these Peninsula celebrities are more noble and fashionable than domestic celebrities. Those who oppose it equate being a fan of Korea with being young, brainless, and non-mainstream. There would be a war of words between the two sides every now and then, and the people would beat their brains out. Just recently, after Jin Shiming’s song was released on Penguin, the comment section started arguing again. "I wanted to find two new songs to listen to, but when I opened the new song list, I saw a Korean song. What bad luck!" "Who is listening to Korean songs? Is there really anyone who likes Korean sissy songs?" "There are two kinds of people I hate the most. One is the racist people, and the other is the Koreans!" “I didn’t listen, but I’m still going to give it a bad review because I love my country!” There are quite a few people who attack without thinking and claim to be righteous. After someone explained that Jin Shiming was a genuine family member, the trolls immediately changed their attitude. "Look at what has happened. The flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other anymore!" "Well, after listening carefully, it is indeed a good song, different from other Korean songs on the market." "The singers on 'Peninsula' are different. They have strong singing skills, good looks, good personalities, and they love their fans very much. We don't have these in the mainland."
"Well done, you are bringing glory to the country. We must support you!" “I don’t understand Korean, but I was still moved by the MV. Can someone tell me more about this singer?” "I was saying it, how could the high-tech faces of the Koreans who have plastic surgery produce such a handsome and high-end face? It has to be ours!" Of course, there are many people who are stubborn and want to show that they are "the only one sober while everyone else is drunk." "Haha, you don't want to stay in China, but go to the Peninsula to eat kimchi. Isn't that kneeling for too long?" "He is a noble Peninsula star. You treat him as one of your own. Maybe he is looking forward to going out every day!" "What a terrible song! And that MV, what kind of shit is it? I don't understand the game!" "Stop bragging, fans. Can a young man in his early twenties sing like the national team? If he's that good, can we see him on this year's Spring Festival Gala?" "The Peninsula is a filthy place. Anyone who knows knows how filthy it is! Men and women are all just toys of the chaebols!" The fans were naturally very angry, so they rolled up their sleeves and started a high-intensity laning confrontation. Of course, there are also some more rational and sensible fans who refuted the "black points" attacked by the haters one by one. Unfortunately, an individual's voice is limited and it is difficult to spread the word. …… BD Entertainment. "Is this a live interview from China, or a central media?" In recent days, invitations to Jin Shiming to participate in various programs and activities have increased rather than decreased. Especially for some commercial performances, the prices offered were so generous that it was almost like handing Jin Shiming a blank check and filling in the numbers himself. Even Jin Shiming couldn't help but be moved, and he finally made up his mind to reject all of them. Only this interview from domestic central media made Jin Shiming a little hesitant. Firstly, his nationality is there, and his future development will require domestic support, so it is very important to establish good relations with the central media. Secondly, this online interview is not a live broadcast, and Jin Shiming does not even need to appear on camera. He only needs to answer a few questions from reporters. After much deliberation, Jin Shiming decided to accept the interview. Mr. Lei next door uses hunger marketing and always posts a Weibo post about going to a factory to tighten screws. Jin Shiming has no choice but to resort to mysticism, but when the time comes, he has to expose it. Otherwise, if the popularity and traffic disappear, he will no longer be a mysterious artist, but a hidden artist! …… Reporters from central media are very efficient. They can complete the final draft of a live interview in the morning in the evening. The next day, an exclusive interview news titled "The world kisses me with pain, and I respond with songs" appeared on major platforms. "Recently, a talented musician named Jin Shiming has appeared in the Peninsula's music scene. The songs he created have caused a phenomenal sensation..."
"The author went to interview Jin Shiming's primary school class teacher and classmates, and learned from them the unknown hardships and sorrows behind this genius..." "Jin Shiming has been influenced by his parents since he was young and has outstanding talents. He has won many awards in large and small youth singing and dancing competitions in China, and has also participated in some film and television works. He is an absolute little star..." "At the same time, Jin Shiming's academic performance is quite excellent. He ranks among the top in his grade in every exam. In his daily life, he also respects his teachers and is eager to help his classmates. He is recognized as a "three-good" student with excellent character and academic performance..." "But the accident came so suddenly. A car accident took away all the blessings bestowed on this lucky man by heaven. This day was also his birthday..." "With the help of his grandparents, Jin Shiming dealt with his parents' funeral and was taken to the peninsula to settle down..." "In the online interview with Jin Shiming, the author asked when you felt the hardest, when you first came to Peninsula or when you were a trainee? Jin Shiming's answer was 'every day'!" "Even after going through so much hardship, Jin Shiming did not give up and continued to devote himself to bringing warm songs to the public..." "Finally, the hard work and sweat paid off. The song "Spring Love Cherry Blossom" made the whole peninsula hear Jin Shiming's voice..." "At the end of the interview, the author asked Jin Shiming to say something to his fans in China. He thought for a long time, but in the end he only said 'thank you'." "After finishing this online interview, I couldn't help but be moved, and thought of the short poem by the famous poet Rabindranath Tagore in Stray Birds: The world has kissed my soul with its pain, asking for its return in songs." "The world kissed him with pain, but he responded with songs! This is Jin Shiming, a boy who heals people's hearts with his singing!" (End of this chapter)
