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

Chapter 129 Caught Off Guard, One Unexpected Turn of Events [68 Updates]

As Xia Shen played the piano, accompanied by the continuous power reverberation and electronic sound effects from the mixer, Zhou Yumeng slowly began to speak.

There was no off-key singing, no singing out of tune, no forgetting of lyrics, and no cracking of the voice.

Completely different from her appearance on the show, her deep, heavy-duty vocals, with their rich soundstage and resonance, blended seamlessly with the music.

"Can you hear them screaming out your name?"

Can you hear the world calling your name?

"Legends never die."

Legends never die.

"They become a part of you."

To etch a legend into one's own life.

"Every time you bleed for reaching greatness."

A bloody battle composes a song of fierce competition.

"Relentlessly you survive."

Unyielding and resilient, they braved the elements and wielded swords to survive.

At this point in the song, Xia Shen stopped what he was doing and went to the mixing console next to him. At this moment, the turntable and drum pads connected to the mixing console were ready.

Xia Shen pressed down hard, and as the pad suddenly lit up, powerful drumbeats began to appear.

Zhou Yumeng's singing pitch suddenly rose.

"They never lose hope when everything's cold and the fighting's near!"

Do not lose hope in the face of utter despair and the impending battle.

"It's deep in their bones, they'll run into smoke when the fire is fierce!"

The raging fire, though fierce and relentless, will eventually dissipate, leaving only embers.
"Oh, pick yourself up, 'cause"

Fully prepared to fight for themselves.

From this moment on, Zhou Yumeng raised her hands and opened her mouth wider to allow the rich resonance to be better output from her resonance cavity and vocal cords.

"Legends never die—"

Legends never die.

At the same time, Xiao Zhongge, upon hearing this, immediately got goosebumps.

"hiss--"

It was a tremor from the soul, as if the surging blood in one's body was being awakened.

At the same time, his pupils dilated violently.

This is exactly what he wanted to hear!
This is what he should be hearing!
Zhou Yumeng and Xia Shen should have had the ability!
Instead of really being that blob of "I was originally a support, but tonight I'm jungling".

So I was waiting here!
The fact that a song of this quality wasn't used in the competition, but instead released the moment the contestant withdrew offline, speaks volumes.

How is Zhou Yumeng performing right now?
Stable! Stable, and nothing but stable!
That top-notch, spine-chilling singing ability, coupled with the exquisite and excellent arrangement by Xia Shen.

Every note was perfect.

It was pure enjoyment.

"Legends never die—"

Legends never die!

"When the world is calling you!"

When the world needs you

"Can you hear them screaming out your name?"

The world calls your name, but where are you?

"Legends never die!"

Legends never die.

"They become a part of you!"

To etch a legend into one's own life.

"Every time you bleed for reaching greatness."

A legendary tale composed amidst bloodshed.

Legends never die

And then, based on eternity.

"."

It was breathtaking from beginning to end. It wasn't just the singing that was breathtaking; the arrangement, combined with the extremely high vocal range, created a feeling that made one's blood boil and feel exhilarated.

Even the lyrics are incredibly inspiring.

An undying legend, an immortal legend, the world calls your name, shouting where you are.

You braved the elements, wielding your sword to overcome all obstacles.

These lyrics are so catchy they get your blood pumping.

Throughout the entire performance, no game elements were mentioned, but the competitive elements, the life-or-death struggle, and the attitude of striving for legend all indicated that this song would be perfect as a competitive song.

No song could be more fitting!

When the song ended nearly four minutes later, with the last note falling, Xiao Zhongge was still in a state of shock and disbelief.

Honestly, if this song were placed on the stage of "The Singer" normally, absolutely no one could beat it. It would definitely be the number one winner, just like the second round with the song "Drifting to the North".

But as Xiao Zhongge said, that was 'normally speaking'.

Normally, Zhang Yuge shouldn't be able to beat "Hair Like Snow" no matter what, but in the end, didn't he still win?
Finally, the show's producers revealed that out of all the contestants, only he received a separate phone call. Doesn't that say something?

Given the current state of Hunan TV, Zhang Yuge's "Super God Moment" could easily beat "Legends Never Die".

Therefore, instead of posting it on TV, posting it privately in your own name is the best option.

“That’s right!” Xiao Zhongge nodded in approval.

Why release such a masterpiece on a TV show and then let someone else beat it up?

If you were to be defeated normally, it would be fine if you lost in terms of quality. But the opponent's quality is not even as good as "Legends Never Die". So why should you be suppressed?

Based on the tricks they pulled off on that show, they were only suitable for 'what can you do?'
And the most crucial point is...

"This round is clearly a commercial one, which is a soft promotion of Honor of the Dead. They spent money to hire the production team, but the production team did not provide any resources. They directly used the contestants' works for free to promote themselves."

Xiao Zhongge shook his head.

I have to say, this kind of behavior from a certain fruit company is really disgusting.

Logically speaking, if you want to commission a singer to create this kind of song, you have to pay them.

But did they give? What did they sacrifice?
Nothing at all.

Therefore, Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng's approach was the wisest choice, directly securing all the benefits for themselves and preventing others from taking advantage of them in the slightest.

The mere thought of this song being used for free by the Honor of the Dead makes him feel incredibly uncomfortable! It's like ants are crawling all over him!

Now all they can get is a song called "What can I do? What else can I do?"

Xia Shen's public vomit ended up precisely in the mouths of certain people, smearing their mouths with it.

At the same time, he also showed everyone through his actions that Xia Shen was different.

You can mess with others, but never mess with him. He cares about his reputation, and if he writes anything historical about it, it'll be a disaster.

Xia Shen is different. He himself is a ruin. The concept of collapse does not exist for him. In fact, his house was built on the ruins.

He's really daring to shove things in your mouth, and you just can't do anything about it.

"The production team must be furious right now," Xiao Zhongge quipped.

Of course, this wasn't just his idea; at this moment, the song's comment section had exploded.

"!!!"

"So exciting!! This is the kind of skill Zhou Yumeng and Xia Shen should have!!"

"Holy crap, this song is just as good as 'Rap God'! It's amazing."

"It gets my blood pumping just listening to it. Legends never die, the world calls your name. This is the kind of song that embodies the spirit of esports!"

"The song 'Honor of the Dead' has lost out big time. If the production team hadn't messed around and targeted them, this song should have belonged to them. Now, they can only take a mediocre song, 'Super God Moment,' as the theme song. They can't change it now, as it's already been officially announced. Otherwise, they could still come to Xia Shen to buy it now."

"Zhang Yuge's fans, speak up! If you have ears, come in and listen carefully to see just how big the gap is! Then think carefully about whether you still want to bark like dogs!"

“Comfortable!!”

The production team is furious.

"."

In fact, just as many netizens guessed, the production team was absolutely furious.

Director Zhang Qianglin, in particular, was absolutely furious.

Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng's withdrawal from the competition caught him completely off guard.

And that's not all. I don't know what got into Alex, this world's top 100 contestant whom the show paid a lot of money to invite, just when Xia Shen withdrew from the competition.
They even submitted a notice of withdrawal from the competition!

He, along with Grammy winner Angelina Jolie, announced his withdrawal from the competition!
This put the production team in an extremely awkward position, as it was the first time in many years they had faced such a situation.

In previous years, no matter how much trouble they caused, no contestant would openly say anything, after all, they were an entertainment platform under a well-known and dominant television station in China.

In China, if you want to make it in the entertainment industry, do you dare offend Hunan TV?
You have some nerve! Do you even want to stay in this business?
