The host was almost bewildered by Zhou Chen's response, but she quickly recovered, thanks to her previous similar experiences.

With a smile, she continued to ask, "So how does this song differ in style and content from your previous two songs?"

The host wanted to know if this song would be another trivial one like the previous two, but she couldn't ask so directly, so she rephrased it.

"The style is somewhat different; this is a rap song. As for the content, it's pretty similar," Zhou Chen answered simply.

"A rap song? Hmph, now they're definitely going to lose."

Hearing that "Last-Minute Effort" was a rap song made Jiang Lin even more confident backstage. He always looked down on rap, believing it lacked substance, and was even more skeptical that Wu Heng could perform a rap song well enough to beat his partner Lu Jie.

Lu Jie shared Jiang Lin's sentiments. As a skilled singer, he was confident in defeating a rap song.

"I didn't expect Zhou Chen to create a rap song this time. Now I'm even more curious about what 'Last-Minute Effort' will be like."

"Me too. This is the first time I've heard Zhou Chen choosing to create a rap song. I wonder how Wu Heng's performance will turn out."

"Fortunately, we won't have to wait long to hear 'Last-Minute Effort.' You have no idea how curious I am right now."

"Hahaha, who isn't? Now that I know 'Last-Minute Effort' is a rap song, I'm even more curious. I never thought Zhou Chen would choose to create a rap song."

......

At this moment, everyone was even more eager to hear "Last-Minute Effort." The host was aware of this, so after briefly interviewing Zhou Chen and Wu Heng, she didn't waste any more time. She invited Zhou Chen to take a seat with the guest artists and announced that Wu Heng's performance could begin.

Wu Heng nodded, then closed his eyes to get into the right mindset for the song.

Soon, the melody of "Last-Minute Effort" began to play at the venue.

As the melody progressed, Wu Heng started to sing.

From the first note, everyone was stunned.

Especially during the chorus, those few lines, "I'm always making a last-minute effort, last-minute effort," "This song is a last-minute effort, last-minute effort," "I do everything last-minute, last-minute," left everyone in shock.

"No way, this is a song? Isn't this just nonsense?"

"Hahaha, it is kind of nonsensical, but the nonsense, combined with the melody and Wu Heng's rap, seems pretty catchy."

"The chorus is totally a brainworm. I feel like I can create something in this style too. I'm always making a last-minute effort, last-minute effort, this comment is a last-minute effort, last-minute effort."

"Wow, the commenter above is really talented. Is it possible that soon we'll see a trend of 'last-minute effort templates' online?"

"Say no more, I'm joining in too. I'm always making a last-minute effort, last-minute effort, this sentence is a last-minute effort, last-minute effort."

......

At first, everyone was mocking how nonsensical the song was, but gradually, some netizens found the chorus template of last-minute efforts quite fun.

As a result, the comment section of the live broadcast was filled with various uses of the last-minute effort template.

For a while, the topic of the "last-minute effort template" trended on social media, making more people aware of the song.

"Director Zhao, great news, huge news. Our viewership has now reached 4.5."

A staff member, seeing the background data, couldn't help but run to tell Zhao Liang.

"What! 4.5? My goodness. This song, which doesn't even qualify as a trivial song, has such great appeal. Unbelievable."

Zhao Liang couldn't hide his delight.

"Yes! This song is even more trivial, nonsensical, and lowbrow than 'Little Apple' and 'Desert Camel,' but it has this kind of magic. The most unbelievable part is that the chorus has become a template and a meme online, with many people using the template for all sorts of sentences."

"This is great news for our show. Whether it's a trivial song or lowbrow, as long as it boosts our ratings, it's a good song."

Zhao Liang was thrilled.

As a show director, he didn't have Huang Shanwen's concerns about triviality or lowbrow content. What he wanted was attention and ratings.

As long as he could achieve that, even if the song was about garbage, he would accept it.

"Crazy. Is this really a song? Zhou Chen creating this kind of song for the show is an insult to music."

Backstage, hearing Wu Heng's performance of "Last-Minute Effort," Jiang Lin couldn't help but angrily curse.

"Jiang Lin, don't get mad. The worse their song is, the better our chances of eliminating them. Think about it, can such a trashy, nonsensical song advance? So, this time we're solid."

Lu Jie looked at it from another angle and then happily reassured Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin thought about it and realized it made sense.

So, he nodded, shifting from anger to joy, and said with a smile, "You're right. This song doesn't even qualify as a trivial song, it's pure nonsense. There's no way it can get high scores. They're definitely losing this time."

"So, let them enjoy their few minutes of glory. They won't be able to after they're eliminated."

On Zhou Chen's side, watching Wu Heng's performance, he was very satisfied.

He knew, he was sure, that after tonight, Wu Heng would become a sensation online.

Of course, this popularity would include both praise and criticism, but either way, he would become famous.

For many trainees, gaining fame was not easy.

Wu Heng could at least use this burst of popularity to easily establish himself in the industry, receiving the treatment of a second-tier or even first-tier star.

"Thank you all. My 'Last-Minute Effort' performance is over."

After finishing the song, Wu Heng politely bowed and thanked everyone.

The audience burst into enthusiastic applause.

Although everyone initially mocked the song for being nonsensical, they gradually found it quite fun and catchy.

Especially the chorus, "I'm always making a last-minute effort, last-minute effort," made people want to hum along.

"Thank you, Wu Heng, for bringing us such a joyful 'Last-Minute Effort.' Now, let's welcome the lyricist and composer, Zhou Chen, back on stage."

At this moment, the host also walked up with a smile and said.
