Why bother writing songs? Fast forward to the "Don't Laugh Challenge"

Chapter 102 Holy crap, he's actually laughing! [15 updates]

To be honest, in all these years, no one has ever affected his state of mind so much. Even just hearing the other person's name would make his heart tremble and his breathing become rapid.

Alex, in fact, was a genius who received much attention from childhood to adulthood.

After all, standing in the world's top 100 is no easy feat, and he has put in a lot of effort for it. Starting in his teens, he already had his own hit works, and he gained a lot of attention by posting videos of himself making music on YouTube.

Throughout his journey, he has been accompanied by flowers, applause, and endless admiration.

If I had to describe it in one sentence, how dashing and spirited they were!

This has resulted in him always being the center of attention in everyone's eyes, and has also fostered his incredibly proud personality.

In his eyes, he was like a pearl left behind in the turbid world, radiating his own light, while the surrounding mortals could not get close to him.

For so many years, he has enjoyed being admired and adored. No one has ever been able to affect his state of mind like this. After all, for someone like him who has fame and fortune, everyone would be eager to get close to him.

To everyone's surprise, this Chinese man named Xia Shen became the only person in all these years who would throw him into a panic just by hearing his name.

For no particular reason, it's just that every time he sees Xia Shen or thinks of Xia Shen, he remembers that Ultra event not long ago.

That was a truly hellish past.

He participated in so many Ultra tournaments and hosted so many live events, but that one time was his biggest failure.

Gone were the cheers and audiences of the past; only litter and a bustling crowd that failed to ignite any enthusiasm remained.

Every time he tried to liven up the atmosphere, the responses from the audience made him feel like they were treating him like he didn't exist.

This was a nightmarish hour and a half.

Of course, all of these will cease to exist!
Alex looked down at his phone and murmured to himself, "I will definitely prove myself. Xia Shen, right? Just wait, this time you will be defeated by my absolute strength!"

True geniuses do not allow themselves to fail! He has just entered the world's top 100 and is poised to ride this momentum to further his success.

Their ranking might even rise a little higher.

His future should even lie in the throne of the chief! That is his goal!
Xia Shen was like a roadblock he encountered. After a brief period of depression on Ultra, he chose to face it head-on instead of going back, and stayed in China.

He needed to eliminate his inner demons before his thoughts could be clear. He wanted to settle the score with this lucky Chinese brat who had brought him so much shame!
Just in time, his wait paid off, and he met Xia Shen on a stage called "Singer 2026"!
His partner this time is Angelina Jolie, the famous American singer.

Three Grammy Awards, five Best Records awards, two Oscar performances, and a Billboard number one debut!

With such a powerful partner, the energy they create together will surely be as explosive as a chemical reaction! It will also allow him to interpret his works more perfectly.

And Xia Shen? He couldn't figure out how to continue losing to him!
Just like what you see online, you think you can beat him with a piece of this caliber? You're dreaming!
Time quickly passed, and amidst the varying reactions and moods of all parties, the final moment arrived.

Amidst much anticipation, "The Singer 2026" has finally premiered!
Countless viewers and fans tuned in to their televisions or live streams right on time, eagerly awaiting this star-studded event.

This time, the lineup is truly impressive, featuring the international diva Angelina Jolie from America.

There is a rising star singer from Germany, with two hit singles sold worldwide, and currently the most popular young generation singer in the world, Miles.

On the Chinese side, there is also a star-studded lineup, representing the backbone of today's Chinese music scene.

There's Liang Ziying, a veteran singer who represents the youthful memories of a generation in China, and Ke Qiao, the gold-medal producer who partners with her.

Love song prince Zhang Yuge, Bai Jing, who came from the golden age of Taiwan, and others.

It features a cast of veteran, talented singers, paired with a top-notch producer.

Oh, and Zhou Yumeng too.

In contrast to Mailis, she is the representative of the new generation sent by China, and her partner Xia Shen is the only Chinese music producer who is not a gold medal producer.

Originally, their pairing on the show was not well-received by the public, who mostly offered encouragement.

Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng's fans are still eager to see how they hone their skills on such a stage with so many strong competitors. They also hold a sliver of hope that they can truly carve out their own niche amidst this fierce competition.

Although the probability is very, very small, there is still something to look forward to, isn't there?

Then, until recently, the song selection incident involving Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng went viral online.
After hearing about it, and especially after seeing the recent flood of various cross-dressing videos, they felt desperate.

Especially when Tian Min actually joined in and made a new video using the background music of "Fa Xiu San Da"!
This further boosted the song's popularity.

After all, Tian Min is different from Xia Shen. He has truly gone all the way down this path and has no intention of changing his mind.

After watching Tian Min's video, countless onlookers who were still waiting for the two to suddenly unleash their full potential couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hahahaha, Xia Shen from the ditch is still the same.

Go ahead and draw, keep it abstract; go ahead and give away, give away some kills too.

It's estimated that this year, the 50-year-old woman will still be guarding the national border.

Of course, Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng, who were focused on preparing for the competition after the live stream ended, were unaware of these things, nor did they know that their live stream had caused misunderstandings among netizens and fans.

After all, they value this competition highly, and Xia Shen will bring out his best to treat it well.

He can still distinguish between what's important and what's not. He knows when to be abstract and when to be serious.

He had finally gotten this precious opportunity to get his career back on track, so he would have to put in all his effort.

At this moment, backstage at the show's location, the host was opening the show from above, and Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng had already arrived at the dressing room, where they also met with the other guests and producers.

Xia Shen didn't recognize any of them. After all, he was the only special one among so many people present. He had been doing his own thing since his debut and was the only one among them who had come up from the lower-tier market.

Instead of coming from the boutique market like everyone else present.

To him, everyone here was a big shot.

But since they weren't familiar with each other, he only gave a perfunctory greeting to each of them.

However, what puzzled him was that the international producer named Alex seemed to be frequently glancing at him.

He felt a chill run down his spine from that look.

But I clearly don't know the other person!
Although he knew that the other person had also been on Ultra like him, and even on the same day as him, taking over his session.

However, he had never met the other party.

Xia Shen didn't consider the issue of the other party not responding well to his opening remarks. After all, at that time, all he was thinking about was how to seize this hard-won opportunity to advance his career.

He desperately wanted to get back on track.

He wants to improve so much.

No one would think of holding back when faced with such an opportunity, right? They would definitely bring out their best and show their best side.

However, although Xia Shen didn't understand the situation, he still smiled and nodded to the other party as a greeting.

He's a top 100 figure in the world, so at least some basic respect is due.

However, Xia Shen's smile shocked Alex.

A generous gift crab!
Holy crap, he's actually laughing?

Damn it, how dare he smile at me?
