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

Chapter 111 A Familiar Melody Suddenly Rises [55 Updates]

When the live stream started again, the number of viewers quickly soared to over 30.

Xia Shen's live streaming has now achieved remarkable success, surpassing even a tenth of the achievements of many veteran streamers who have been doing it for years.

Many fans have estimated that if Xia Shen were to start live-streaming e-commerce now, he could easily sell a sky-high volume of products, perhaps even rivaling the top live-streaming e-commerce hosts.

But it also sparked a lot of ridicule from other fans.

After all, given Xia Shen's current level, he can make money even without live streaming, because he is a top-selling musician.

He doesn't rely on live streaming for a living at all; it's just a pastime for him.

Moreover, even if we take a step back and say that it's okay for a celebrity to do live streaming, there's nothing wrong with that. These days, the short video economy and the internet economy have long been a part of every household. In the past, quite a few celebrities have done live streaming, both domestic and international, whenever they have free time and no engagements.

Quite a few celebrities write novels; after all, celebrities are human too, right? They also need something else to spice up their lives and relieve the stress of daily routines.

They just definitely don't want others to know what kind of nonsense they're writing, otherwise they'd be risking social stigma by constantly smuggling in their own opinions, criticizing this person while alluding to that person, and spouting out a lot of outrageous remarks.

But live-streaming e-commerce is different. If you, as a legitimate celebrity, publicly promote products, it really lowers your status. That would be considered pure stupidity, playing with your commercial value.

Moreover, if the products you sell are of poor quality, you are more likely to get yourself into trouble.

Even though Xia Shen himself came from a humble background in the entertainment industry, this was still the case.

Xia Shen didn't plan to invest too much energy in live streaming or his own internet accounts.

It was just a side dish to lighten things up.

Viewers flooded into the live stream room.

Then, when they realized they didn't see any familiar faces, they started asking in the comments section one by one.

Where is Zhou Yumeng?

"Where's Zhou Yumeng? Isn't she here today?"

"Xia Shen, are you broadcasting alone?"

"."

Xia Shen responded, "Yes, Yu Meng isn't here today, it's just me. She's practicing for the competition."

The audience also responded and interacted.

"Then don't you need to practice?"

"Yeah, I remember you were supposed to be a guest performer in the next round, weren't you going to practice?"

"Oh no, does this mean you're confident you can do better than Zhou Yumeng?"

Xia Shen responded, "That's right. Actually, my grades in school were better than Zhou Yumeng's, okay? She's no good!"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Xia Shen's expression changed: "Just kidding, it's just that she's not very familiar with this genre. As for me, that part is relatively more familiar to me."

The audience responded.

"That's true. After all, it's a song I wrote myself, so I'm definitely more familiar with it and know better what I want."

"I don't care, you're just afraid of your wife, you're just a henpecked husband."

"That's hilarious! You even looked back, afraid of getting your ear pulled from behind, huh?"

"So, do you have anything prepared for today?"

"I haven't prepared any content today. I'll just broadcast whatever comes to mind, and you can criticize me if you want!" (Immediate response)

Xia Shen thought for a moment and nodded: "I really did prepare some content today."

To be honest, he had a specific purpose in starting this broadcast, so how could he not have prepared any content?

But before that, he asked with a smile, "Has everyone listened to my new song?"

"Have!"

"That's for sure!"

"I bought the collector's edition, and now I'm just waiting for the physical album to arrive."

"I envy the rich guy. I'm just a student, and I can only afford the regular version. Why don't you give it to me for free? After all, I'm a student."

"You can't even be born!"

Xia Shen also saw a familiar ID.

The ID named 'Xiao Xiao'.

It has happened many times, and it has been happening since he first started live streaming a long time ago. He has been active in almost every live stream, and he has spent a lot of money on it, giving him tens of thousands of gold coins in total.

I can be considered one of his long-time fans.

Xia Shen immediately asked, "By the way, Xiao Xiao, wait a minute, let me pull you onto the mic. Can you represent the fans and ask me what your thoughts are after hearing this? Can you answer me?"

Then, I don't know if it was because I was excited about being called out, or what, but I actually sent a Carnival gift directly.

The special effects filled the screen, eliciting a flurry of reactions from other viewers.

"I'm so envious. No wonder he's a rich guy who buys the collector's edition. He's just got money. He can spend 3,000 meters in no time."

"You got picked! I'm so envious. I got to be pampered up close. Remember to use a rubber band to make it look like the ultra-thin version to Xia Shen. He'll believe it."

"Hey, you idiot, please tone it down. Making these kinds of outrageous comments during a live stream can easily boost the ratings of your stream."

"."

Xia Shen then invited people onto the microphone.

"Hello, hello, can you hear me?" Xia Shen asked.

Then came a deafening response: "I can hear you! I can hear you!" Xia Shen frowned and leaned back.

The comments section also reflected this sentiment.

"Dude, get a different microphone, it's crackling."

"Stop messing around, new ears."

"Abstain from sex, don't do it."

Then, Xiao Xiao, perhaps having seen the comments and Xia Shen's feedback, asked again in a noisy voice, "Is my mic loud?"

"Yes, a little," Xia Shen replied, "but it's okay, just be careful."

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Xiao replied, "I'm just a little excited to have been chosen. I'm just too happy. After all, I've been listening to you for so long, but this is the first time I've met you up close."

“You’ve been listening for quite a while now,” Xia Shen nodded.

That's true. He had already seen Xiao Xiao in the live stream before his reputation turned around on Ultra.

"He's definitely a long-time fan," Xia Shen affirmed.

"Of course! I don't know if you remember, but at the Ultra event before, there was a flag with 'V50' on it." Xiao Xiao said happily, and the microphone exploded again.

"I remember!" Xia Shen nodded directly.

How could he not remember? He looked down from above and saw that among a large group of flags from various countries and some artists' flags, the flag of the old man with the "v50" logo was the most conspicuous.

“That’s me!” Xiao Xiao said directly.

The comments section was also filled with reactions.

"????"

"Good heavens, that's you!"

"Damn it, I told you, it was a Thursday, and I couldn't escape being tagged with 'v50' even when I was watching an EDM festival live stream."

"So it was just a weirdo on set. Rich guy is rich guy after all."

"With IP addresses going to Beijing, no wonder."

"So it's Master Jing. The Sparrow family has pebbles."

Xia Shen nodded: "Then you are indeed the most senior one, so it's really right to let you represent the fans. So tell me, what do you think of my album? Which song impressed you the most?"

"In terms of sound quality, it is undoubtedly top-notch. I am a seasoned audiophile myself and have listened to a lot of electronic music. I know a lot about it. In terms of production, there is absolutely no fault to be found. It can definitely be compared with those top foreign productions. It is top-notch."

But if you ask me which song impressed me the most, it would have to be "King of Electronic Music," that song is just too hilarious.

"So what are your favorites?" Xia Shen didn't get the answer she wanted, or rather, only half of it, so she continued to ask and guide her.

“Undoubtedly, it’s ‘Faded’.” Xiao Zhongge answered quickly: “Of course, ‘Edge’ is also good. This song is very much to the liking of us audiophiles.”

Oh, and "Intro," that song is amazing!

coming!

Xia Shen heard the answer he wanted and immediately smiled and said, "Would you like to hear some familiar melodies in today's live broadcast?"

A familiar melody?
Xiao Xiao was clearly just as confused as the other viewers in the comments section.

But upon closer reflection, it seems Xia Shen probably wanted to DJ live?
Upon hearing this, his tone became excited, and he immediately said, "Yes!"

"it is good!"

Xia Shen slapped his thigh and lifted the person off the stage: "That's enough for now. Next, I'll bring you an Intro, but of course, it's a version of Intro you've never heard before!"

The comments section also began to express anticipation.

"!!!"

"quick!!!"

"You know, that's why I came here."

"Stop torturing the fans with Tang Ge every day. This is how it should be. Let's get serious."

"Come on!"

So, amidst the fans' eager anticipation, Xia Shen pressed the 'play' button directly on the turntable next to him.

A familiar melody slowly rose in the live broadcast room.

It was none other than "Intro"!
However, this melody has a strong bass tone.

Many audience members were stunned for a moment.

Xiao Xiao commented directly: "Isn't this the Ultra version? Although it's not the official release, I've listened to this version before! But it's fine, listening to it again is also very enjoyable."

However, at that moment, Xia Shen spoke up.

Yes! That's right! He started playing an instrumental piece!

"Next up is 'God's Rap,' from the god of Chinese rap in your eyes. After all, what's a title without songs? Let's go!"

"The genius is on the left, the madman is on the right, and I am in the middle, therefore I am the emperor!"

The unexpected outburst caught everyone in the live stream off guard.

If you try to mess with everyone, the CPU will be smoking.

Xiao Xiao slowly typed out: ?
