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

Chapter 130 League of Legends Official Poll Launched [78 Updates]

In the Chinese entertainment industry, no matter what you do, you'll eventually find it hard to avoid the Mango TV platform.

It's quite an ironic fact that if you want to grow and become stronger, you really have to get on someone else's platform. That's the reality.

So those old hands didn't really say anything; instead, they chose to silently endure it or pretend they didn't know.

Because they really can't do without Mango TV! Honestly, with all the resources they have, they could easily crush any artist like you. Don't forget, they're a state-owned enterprise!
Therefore, Mango and his team initially relied on their status and irreplaceable position in the industry to do things according to their own wishes.

For example, in this "Singer 2026" competition, when facing Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng, Zhang Qianglin instinctively acted according to his old way of thinking. He thought, "Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng are newcomers who have just emerged in the music scene. Even if they are very energetic and have a bright future, so what?"

Ultimately, he lacked the necessary qualifications.

If they want to quickly climb to the next level, they have to honestly pass through the hall of mangoes.

To their utter surprise, Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng pulled this stunt on them.

They're always the ones disgusting others; when have they ever been disgusted by others like that?
This made Zhang Qianglin feel as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a pair of Cantonese twin ponytails.

He was also completely bewildered.

It's one thing for Xia Shen to leave, but why does Alex have to leave too?

why? !

Alex is different from Xia Shen and the others!

Xia Shen and the others were guests, invited in July, and were considered to be artists at a normal price.

But Alex and Angelina were hired from abroad at a high price!
These international superstars and bigwigs command exorbitant appearance fees, and currency conversion must also be taken into account. Once they cross national borders, there's no such thing as spending US dollars in the US; it's a matter of exchanging RMB for US dollars before inviting them over.

It's extremely expensive.

They were originally thinking of using these people to boost ratings and generate buzz.

Should we tell him to withdraw from the competition now?

Alex and Angelina knew that the show was just a backdrop, even though it had been planned beforehand.

It's understandable that Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng withdrew from the competition, but why did these two insiders, who knew they were the underdogs, also withdraw?
Even though Alex and Angelina said the appearance fee would be refunded because it would be considered a breach of contract.

But does it matter?

Is it really that important to deal with appearance fees right now?

Importantly, two groups of the show's strongest contestants and highlights have left!

He didn't even dare to think about how much the show's popularity would drop next time!
Especially since this episode isn't even over yet! And they've already caused so much trouble.

This made Zhang Qianglin feel dizzy on the spot.

He shakily pulled a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, and tried to calm himself down.

They were all ready, but the pace of the last two episodes made the show less interesting. The next episode can let Xia Shen and Alex, both of whom are among the world's top 100, shine and improve the show's quality. So, we won't arrange for Zhang Yuge to perform for now.

This can be considered a balance of tension and relaxation, wins and losses, so that as time goes on, the marks won't appear too severe.

As a result, the climax that they had arranged was supposed to be the home turf for the two world's top 100 players.

As a result, both of the top 100 members withdrew.

It's really speechless!
At that very moment, as the program was nearing its end, the host was still trying to maintain order and announce the topics to be drawn in the next round.

"A hymn to courage, forge ahead without hesitation!"

"Electronic music!"

In the director's seat, Zhang Qianglin remained expressionless.

Now things are different; there's no longer a round of the world's top 100 electronic music charts, and both of the world's top 100 have retired.

At the same time, with the official end of the show, news of Alex's withdrawal from the competition also spread online.

This is also the time when "Legends Never Die" is trending on social media.

The news broke just as it sparked heated discussions.

"Good heavens, two teams from the world's top 100 have both withdrawn, what's the point of watching then?"

"Of course I'd withdraw too. This discrimination is disgusting, and the topic selection is clearly unfriendly; they're deliberately trying to suppress it." "The next episode is supposed to be about electronic music, but look what happens—both of the top 100 are withdrawing. What's the point of watching that?"

"Retiring was a wise choice. Otherwise, electronic music is the domain of the world's top 100. If we were to be overshadowed in this field by someone like Zhang Yuge who sings sad love songs, it would be a complete joke. We should just give up."

"I have to say, it seems like Mango might actually do something like this."

"If something like this really happened, it would be incredibly embarrassing. Even if Zhang Yuge dared to admit it, would the producer who teamed up with him dare to admit it? To take down two top 100 DJs at the same time? And under these circumstances? Aren't they afraid of being condemned to death?"

"Good riddance!"

"support!"

There is widespread support online for Alex and Angelina to withdraw from the competition.

People also attributed his withdrawal from the competition to the suppression of Zheng Hongwen by the topic selection.

But in reality, they didn't realize that this wasn't the real reason.
The real reason.
it's actually really easy.

"I came here to defeat you. If you all retreat, what's the point of me staying?" Alex murmured.

Everyone assumed he was doing it for the money, for those tens of millions of dollars in appearance fees.

But in reality, as a world-class producer, even if he's only at the bottom of the top 100, how could he possibly lack money?
He has written so many best-selling songs; they are all goose eggs.

Let's put it this way: excellent, top-notch music producers are never short of money; they are the richest people in the industry.

Unless you don't own the copyright to the song you wrote.

But how could that be possible? Excellent producers value this aspect highly, especially overseas, where intellectual property rights are extremely important!
Therefore, his goal was simply to prove that his music was no worse than Xia Shen's.

That's it.

"Since you've backed down, I'll wait for you. We'll fight again in the future!"

Alex said.

At the same time, he was also looking at the song that Xia Shen had just released.

The numbers for "Legends Never Die" have exploded.

With the mindset of studying his opponent, he listened to the song carefully. How should I put it?

Absolutely stunning!
I must say, it's a great piece of work!

He just didn't know why, but the more he watched the song, the more uneasy he felt.

It's probably an illusion.

He shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about it.

There will be other opportunities in the future!

At that very moment, another major piece of news was revealed.

The official Weibo account of League of Legends publicly reposted this song to its own feed.

They also left a message and started a poll.

Summoners, do you support this song becoming the theme song for this year's World Championship? Please leave your vote!

This one vote instantly elevated the matter to a whole new level.

"!!!!!!"

"I agree!!"

"Holy crap, the one that was supposed to appear has finally arrived! Isn't this much better than being the theme song for 'Scrubbing Glass'?"

"Wow, no wonder they're a company that makes music with their hearts but games with their feet. They have a keen sense for music and have already spotted it."

"I don't know why, but I feel like this song really should be the theme song."

"I've already submitted my application. Hurry and buy the license from Xia Shen! Quickly!!"
