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

Chapter 148 Come, sing with me, when farewell blossoms [56th update]

It's breached, it's really breached.

Aixin Hengsheng was originally hoping to see what Xia Shen would do after Deep Space Entertainment was established, and then immediately start causing trouble.

To his utter surprise, instead of waiting for the other party's movements or causing them any trouble, trouble came knocking on his door first.

He truly couldn't understand.

Aren't you all afraid?
A fist the size of a sandbag is no good, but a company the size of a giant ship is not. Aren't you afraid?
This is like what?

It's like a kindergarten child fighting a world heavyweight boxing champion. Instead of being afraid, the opponent slaps the world heavyweight boxing champion across the face.

They actually dared to strike first?!
Nurturing new talent each year is also very important for Xidie Entertainment, especially for new talent that can emerge step by step from among so many affiliated studios in a fiercely competitive environment.

Those are all worthy of special attention and development; they can all become the company's cash cows.

Now, things have turned out differently. They went through a lot of trouble to discover the talent, invested resources in training them, and things are starting to look up.

Now it's finally time for them to contribute to the company, start making money, and reap the rewards.

Xia Shen intervened directly, cutting off their promising new venture in one fell swoop.

The loss was secondary; the main thing was that this behavior made him feel insulted.

After what you did, you even dared to slap me. Do you look down on me?
I can tolerate my uncle, but I can’t tolerate my aunt!
Especially Li Yunhe, one of these three promising talents.
He had been craving it for a long time, and the other person's appearance just happened to be his type. He also had other ideas.

Now, before he could even pick any, the seedlings were snatched away.

For him, it really felt like he had been NTR'd.

but
"Do you really think that digging up the seedlings will cripple us?"

A cold glint flashed in Ai Xinhengsheng's old eyes.

So what if we lose the best seedlings?

It is said that if you want a seedling to grow up healthily, the best way is to provide it with the best soil.

Although these people all have a certain creative ability, compared to mature musicians, their creative ability seems particularly immature.

Their excellence lies in other aspects, such as their professional skills, singing ability, and image.

As a wealthy family, Xi Die possesses an extremely powerful music library.

Furthermore, there is a vast network of collaborating producers who can tailor-make the most suitable works for these emerging talents at any time.

This is the foundation of a wealthy family; they can absolutely create superstars simply by accumulating wealth. This is no exaggeration at all.

This terrifying wealth of resources has created their absolute market dominance.

But does Deep Space Entertainment have these resources?
As far as he knew, Xia Shen was the only one in the entire Deep Space Entertainment with creative abilities.

One person, dealing with a company?
It’s simply a fantasy.

Even if he's in the world's top 100, so what? How many songs can he write?
Human energy and inspiration are both limited.

Even if he poached people and took away the three best talents, what difference would it make if the remaining three talents of Xidie were slightly inferior in terms of professional skills, given the lack of works to support them and the absence of fertile ground for their development?
A work of art can make up for all the gaps!

Therefore, in his view, Xia Shen made a completely blunder!

"Hmph! With a music library against one person, the advantage is mine!" Ai Xin Hengsheng sneered.

He immediately picked up the internal phone in the office: "Give the order to sign the new talents as quickly as possible, then use all the top producers in the company, plus unlimited access to the music library. I want to see their three groups' new songs in the shortest possible time!"

If that's the case, why not just destroy those three S-class seedlings?
Meanwhile, Xia Shen and his group quickly received the news.

As expected, the remaining three new recruits were signed into the Xi Die headquarters at the fastest speed.

Then they immediately started the production of a new song, and it seemed like they were about to officially promote them, bring them into the public eye, and start using resources to support them.

"It's so comfortable not having to worry about them playing dirty tricks on us," Xia Shen remarked.

Honestly, if it were simply a matter of market forces determining the winner, he wouldn't be afraid of anyone.

Of course, to everyone else, he seemed to have no advantage whatsoever. Many industry insiders, including other record companies, were watching to see when they would be devoured and brought down by Xi Die. This wasn't a secret; he still had connections with July, and he had ways of knowing some of the rumors.

But Xia Shen wouldn't say anything.

Even if he tells others now that the situation may not be like that, what's the use?
The only way to truly change other people's opinions is to take concrete actions and do something meaningful.

He truly wants to establish himself as a powerful figure in the entertainment industry, rather than spending his entire life as an artist. He needs to fight this tough battle against the wealthy family brilliantly.

So he immediately met with the three groups of new artists.

Now, Li Yunhe, Tang Lele, and the X Extreme Band, which consists of middle-aged people, have all joined the company and been assigned to their own studios.

The artists' studios are also where the company spends the most money in the early stages.

The most expensive part is the various equipment and the construction of the recording studio.

There's no way to save money on this, and there's no way to cut corners.

First, there was Li Yunhe. After Xia Shen found him, she went straight to the point.

"Next, the company needs you to release a brand new solo album as soon as possible, which can be positioned as an EP."

Xia Shen said.

“Okay, Teacher Xia Shen!” Li Yunhe immediately nodded frantically in agreement: “I do have some newly written songs here, you can listen to them.”

"Oh? Sing a song?" Xia Shen raised an eyebrow and said.

"Ahem. I'll keep your love for me sealed away and observe it later."

Then, with just that one sentence, Xia Shen waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop observing, seal it off."

"Huh?" The young Li Yunhe was stunned, not quite understanding what the senior, the noble World Hundred, who was three years younger than him, wanted to express.

Isn't this supposed to be a call for him to release an album? What's with this "sealing it up" nonsense?

"Forget about observation, sing this! Come on, sing with me!"

Xia Shen immediately began singing: "Alone and sparsely populated, yet in cahoots, walking alone, yet enlightened!"

"Three, two, one, sing!"

"Alone and entangled, walking alone yet enlightened?" Li Yunhe followed.

"Not bad!"

Xia Shen nodded in satisfaction: "Continue, take the cotton and melon vines as the standard, the dragon roams through every nook and cranny, graceful and elegant, tears streaming down, chattering incessantly, neither good nor bad~"

Li Yunhe repeated it again.

Xia Shen nodded in satisfaction: "That's settled then. Here, take your new album."

After saying that, Xia Shen threw out a stack of A4 papers.

Before leaving, he added, "If the score isn't up to standard, go ask the company's mixing engineer."

"Oh"

Although Li Yunhe was confused, he didn't say anything, but just looked down at the A4 paper in his hand.

Rare characters?
On the other hand, after leaving Li Yunhe's studio, Xia Shen found Tang Lele and repeated a similar operation.

After reviewing Tang Lele's own song once, they rejected it outright.

Then he said, "Singing about strength and courage gives me power and makes me grow strong. Singing this, when parting blossoms, new branches grow!"

After walking around, we finally arrived at the Middle-Aged X Extreme Band.

Xia Shen got straight to the point: "Your most urgent task right now is to change your name."

From now on, you'll be called the Rose Blossom Band!
