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

Chapter 134 Some are happy, some are sad [310 updates]

"E' passato un anno e siamo qua, sotto i fari di questa realta'."

Standing under this real light.

"Inseguendo strade dove chi sa, Fermeremo il tempo,."

Let time stand still.

The intense and fast-paced melody, coupled with the soaring pitch, created a completely different atmosphere from the music coming out of the CD player.

If one moment you're at an international music festival, the next you feel like you've arrived at a rural assembly point.

In an instant, I went from a Ferrari to a tractor, and I felt like I couldn't see one eye, as if it was being covered by something.

"Help, good soil!"

"That soaring tone, it's really got flavor, the flavor is really strong."

"Zhou Yumeng and you are a match made in heaven. She's been recording this kind of stuff with you every day. You're amazing to make this kind of thing with Zhou Yumeng's SSR-level voice!"

"Just be happy, that's all! Tell me if you're happy or not! I like Xia Shen, who can bring you happiness occasionally. That's called emotional value."

"Even if you eat a lot of decent food, you'll crave fried chicken and burgers junk food every now and then."

"Wow, so it turns out that 'Tu Hai' (a derogatory term for a certain type of person) can be used not only in Chinese, but also in foreign languages!"

"Of course! Do you think 'tuhai' is a Chinese specialty? This stuff is found all over the world. To put it bluntly, there's a market for it in rural areas all over the world. For example, the most famous foreign 'tuhai' is the Russian 'tuhai,' which is just as 'tuhai' as the Chinese 'tuhai.' It's something that Russia specifically created for drinking and having fun. Do you think it has any musicality or artistry?"

"Be confident. People all over the world are one. There are country bumpkins everywhere. It can only be said that Xia Shen treats everyone equally. Making good songs is not limited to Chinese songs, so making country-style pop songs cannot be limited to Chinese songs either."

"Hahahaha, Alex is completely dumbfounded."

"He's probably questioning his existence, that he's been repeatedly defeated by this thing, and he probably can't accept it."

"It's understandable. Being confused is normal. Xia Shen's existence is unique in the entire internet."

"There are many musicians like him who were forced to make historical songs at the beginning because of the need to make a living and fill their stomachs, but he is the only one who continues to make historical songs after getting on the right track. I can only say that he has not forgotten his original intention, but he is addicted to tormenting his fans."

"He and Tian Min really do look alike. It's just that you can't have two kinds of people in one company. Maybe one day these two could actually team up and do a collaboration."

"Holy crap, Daddy! Stop it! You don't want your eyes anymore, but others still need useful eyes!"

"Please don't give me any advice, thank you. But if that day ever comes, I'll have to give it a second look, even if it means I have to go through all the trouble."

"Modern netizens are all like Master Akashi's little gluttons. They know they'll feel bad for a while after watching it, but they'll feel bad all day if they don't watch it, right?"

"There are indeed people who don't want to watch this, who don't want to watch Akaishi, like me. The viewers have spent so much money, and this is the kind of thing you treat the viewers like? I already regret spending that thirty yuan."

"Indeed, not everyone is like that. The beginning was fine, but then they openly fed us shit. Couldn't they just do a proper DJ set? Do you think you deserve all those tens of millions of votes? Making this kind of stuff that only lunatics would listen to."

"To be honest, you don't really think this is a big deal for Xia Shen, do you? He's just low-key and has never revealed his income. But with so many best-selling songs, this amount of ticket money is really just a pittance to thank the top donor. It doesn't have much impact at all, you know?"

"If you don't want to watch the reserved part, just leave. It's not a big deal. Why do you have to come here and vent your negative energy? You think you're so high and mighty? You get a sense of superiority from listening to music. I had a blast dancing to this song, is there a problem with that? I also listen to symphonies. Does that mean I can look down on everyone here?"

To be honest, once there are a lot of people, given the current internet environment and situation, it's highly likely that they'll start arguing for various reasons, which is pretty much a given.

Most people will still burst into laughter during Xia Shen's reserved segment.

The live stream and PK battle concluded with the song "Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens," setting a new record for Xia Shen's best live stream data since the show began.

He and Alex together completely absorbed the essence of "The Singer 2026"!

Then very quickly, not long after, just a few hours after Xia Shen ended his broadcast, his local Douyin (TikTok) characteristics came into play.

The female anchors and bloggers quickly developed new ways to play with "Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens", and started making borderline videos.

This time, it was quite creative, also a costume change video.

It's just the version with the lights off.

First, the female anchor appears in an ordinary way, wearing pajamas, or even making herself look ugly. She enters in a plain and even slightly cringe-worthy state. Then, as the music plays, the lights are turned off, and the background light shines through, revealing her curvaceous figure.

This certainly thrilled many male viewers, who lamented that they hadn't bought enough nutritional drinks. Meanwhile, the comments section praised the female streamer while also jokingly questioning Xia Shen's authority.

"It's so hot, I love it."

"You drink water at 0 degrees Celsius, but you can urinate urine at 37 degrees Celsius. This proves that you are a 'hot drinker'."

"Waaaaah, I don't care, you must still be Little Chu Girl, waaaaah!"

"All you dance bloggers should kowtow to Xia Shen; he's your living father."

Even another song written by Xia Shen couldn't escape this fate.

That is "Bubble".

Similarly, since Xia Shen didn't make a DJ version, someone else naturally made one for him!
Then, after "Bubble DJ Version" was released, it was also adapted with dance moves, topped the trending charts, and competed with "Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens, Turn Off the Lights" on the same stage, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

However, just as Xia Shen's live stream created a viewing miracle, drained the audience of "The Singer," and sparked another wave of hype, some people didn't look too good, and even looked a bit gloomy.

Inside a room of an extremely luxurious villa, an elderly man with gray hair and a large belly lies in an indoor hot spring that emits steam.

His back, arms, and legs all have large areas of colorful tattoos.

The style is that of Ukiyo-e, a style of Japanese ukiyo-e.

There were even several fair-skinned and beautiful maids standing behind him.

One of them had a tray with a stack of warm, damp towels and a cup of warm milk.

On another tray were pre-cut Cohiba Century cigars and a blowtorch.

Ai Xin Hengsheng, the then chairman of Xidie Entertainment, is now 65 years old, or more people in the industry are used to calling him Master Heng.

He slowly exhaled, his face flushed, and stepped out of the pool.

Immediately, a maid took a bath towel and draped it over him. Another maid with a towel tray walked over slowly so that he could easily grab the towel from the tray and wipe his face.

At the same time, a cigar that had just been lit with a blowtorch was placed in his mouth, allowing him to exhale smoke and savor the unique aroma of beans, coffee, black pepper, and sweetness of the Cohiba Reserve.

"Has he arrived?"

When faced with the seemingly obsequious waitresses, how could Master Heng not know that they also wanted to curry favor with him and rise to the top in one fell swoop?

A hint of disgust, emanating from the depths of his heart, flashed in his eyes: "Behave yourself!"

The maid was stunned for a moment. Although the sudden accusation made her feel wronged, since she hadn't done anything, she couldn't say anything when she thought about how hard-won the job was and the special rules for working with this person.

She could only lower her head and say, "I've arrived. I'm waiting for you in the room."

"Let's go."

Master Heng nodded in satisfaction.

Then, led by a maid, he walked through a luxurious corridor to a door.

Everyone immediately and consciously left the room, leaving only him behind.

Then, the moment Aixin Hengsheng pushed open the door, the bathrobe she was wearing fell to the ground as she spread her arms.

Inside the room, a figure standing there turned around and looked at him.

"May Master Heng be blessed."

After saying that, he bowed slightly.

If anyone were here right now, they would be utterly shocked.

Because this person is none other than Zhang Yuge, the former prince of love songs who has recently been generating a lot of buzz, showing signs of a comeback, and even achieving good results on the "Singer" stage.
