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

Chapter 149 This thing can beat me! [66th update]

This almost burned out the CPUs of several middle-aged people.

"But Teacher Xia Shen, why would we change our name? We've been using this name for several years, and our fans are very familiar with it."

The current captain is a tough guy named Huang Dalong, who comes from Blackwater Province, known as the Freljord region. He is also an honest and simple man in his forties, speaking Mandarin with a strong Northeastern accent.

They look no different from the older generation of workers that people imagine.

He looked at Xia Shen with a puzzled expression and asked, "I'm afraid the fans won't be used to changing the name now, and this name doesn't sound very rock and roll anymore."

There was one thing Huang Dalong still didn't say: the new name Xia Shen gave him wasn't rock and roll at all; it sounded more like a folk dance troupe.

If you told people they were into rock music, who would believe you?

Is she not a pure Yangko star?
They're a metal band, they play industrial metal!

However, Xia Shen said directly, "But you've been using this name for so many years, and you've only accumulated a little over 100,000 fans. Can you hold a show for 10,000 people now?"

"No."

Huang Dalong shook his head: "Chinese rock music is not what it used to be. Now hardly anyone listens to it, and we can only hold shows for 2,000 people."

"Then listen to me, within six months, I can get you to put on a show for tens of thousands of people." Xia Shen said directly, "The company has a brand new plan for you. Of course, don't tell me that the company will make you sing songs that you think are not good. You can take a look first."

As Xia Shen spoke, he handed over a stack of sheet music, just like before.

"Let me take a look." Huang Dalong took over the musical score from this young boss who was much younger than him but whose status and achievements had far surpassed theirs.

Actually, he didn't have high hopes, since they knew that their new boss was a very talented songwriter and an exceptionally skilled music producer.

But one thing is that the other party only makes pop and electronic music, but they are better at rap, right?
These kinds of music and rock music are not the same concept. Someone who can write those kinds of songs well may not necessarily be able to write good rock music.

If that really doesn't work, they'll definitely have to sing their own songs; that's the most practical thing to do.

When they signed the contract, it was stated that if they were not satisfied with the songs provided by the company, they had the right to choose to sing their own original songs, as long as they completed the performance targets set by the company on time.

They signed with Deep Space precisely because the company doesn't impose too many restrictions on them and doesn't engage in any exploitative practices.

They are grateful to the company and their boss for giving them opportunities and a platform for development, but they have their own pursuits when it comes to their work.

But after Huang Dalong saw the sheet music, he also looked at the lyrics.

His pupils contracted.

You say you play rock and roll, but what's the point of playing it?
The east side is dark, but the west side is bright; the setting sun shines on my sorrow.

The night before was not busy, but the night after was busy; after dreaming of gold, I dreamed of millet.

Spring rain cannot dampen a devoted soul, while autumn chill chills the heart of a lovesick fool.

The more I looked, the more silent I became.

When it comes to performance level and professional skills, those who can play rock music and form bands are truly in a class of their own.

Compared to singers from many other genres, this would be a case of being outclassed.

Even a band composed of middle-aged people like them can still make a living in a time when rock music has officially become a niche genre in China, which shows a lot of attention to detail.

That means they really have something!

At least in this band, everyone is a composer!
You don't even need to ask someone else to explain the score to you!
Huang Dalong was also shocked at this moment.

As for the song he's seeing now, how should I put it?

Very strong!

Is it a good song?

It definitely belongs!

Because of its strong musicality, the arrangement, while showing strong rock elements, also incorporates many homestay elements.

For example, the addition of the suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument).

If this song was written by Xia Shen, it might overturn everyone's expectations.

This top 100 producer, who focuses on new music genres like pop, electronic music, and rap, also has some knowledge of rock music.

Moreover, the lyrics of this song are also excellent, with a profound core message.

Xia Shen also realized from Huang Dalong's expression that the other party had most likely come to approve of him.

But
"Perhaps I need you to change the presentation style or something. Of course, these are all for the sake of artistic tension and are positive. You can rest assured about these."

Moreover, among the three groups of new recruits, the company has the highest expectations for you and will invest the most resources in you.

Xia Shen said with utmost seriousness, "We'll invest the most resources in ourselves."

Huang Dalong was shocked.

They're rock and roll!

what does this mean?
This means that in the minds of most people, they should actually be the ones in their twilight years.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until he was settled down, had a family, and no longer worried about going hungry before forming his own band and pursuing his rock and roll dream again.

Three new groups, one singing R&B, one singing pop, aren't they all just pop stars? When will it be time to focus on developing rock artists?

However, little did they know that Xia Shen hadn't even asked Li Yunhe to sing R&B.

And he wasn't joking; he genuinely intended to train them to the end.

“Rock is a live music genre, and it is inherently derived from the live performance. There’s a new program that’s in the works right now, and you’re in the industry, so you must know about it, right?” Xia Shen said.

“Yeah, it’s ‘The Winter of Bands’.” Huang Dalong nodded.

“I plan to have you guys on a TV show,” Xia Shen said. “At the same time, your first round of transformation debuts will be on that show.”

The team members looked at each other in bewilderment.

Finally, Xia Shen was given an answer: "Shall we give it a try?"

With this, Deep Space Entertainment's first major direction has been set.

And the first to be targeted were none other than Li Yunhe and Tang Lele!

Xia Shen stared at it until he received the message!

New artists Chen Yi and Shen Fang, signed by Xidie Entertainment, have released new albums!

The publicity was overwhelming.

Furthermore, the lineup is extremely luxurious, with top-notch producers gathering together to create two masterpiece albums.

Such a large production team and scale naturally attracted considerable attention within the industry and among a significant portion of the audience.

It's spreading like wildfire, it's getting out of hand very quickly.

"Holy crap, so many top-notch producers! This company truly lives up to its reputation as a major studio, willing to invest so much effort in promoting new talent!"

"Awesome! I'm really looking forward to it, I'll definitely buy it!"

"I've already bought it. To be honest, the quality is really good. The level of the gold medal producer is truly impressive."

then
"hair!"

Xia Shen immediately made the decision.

At the same time, Li Yunhe and Tang Lele, artists under Deep Space Entertainment, also released new albums.

Then it immediately appeared on the desktops of certain people who were closely watching Xia Shen's movements.

Aixin Hengsheng was living in constant fear.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say that Xia Shen's creative abilities are not to be feared.

He was genuinely worried that a dozen or so top producers wouldn't be able to keep him in check.

So the first thing I did was to have someone keep an eye out for when they would release an album, and then tell them as soon as possible.

And now we have the current scene.

only.
As he listened, less than 30 seconds later...

"laugh!"

He couldn't hold back any longer and pressed pause.

"What the hell?"

If this thing can beat him, he'll eat shit!
As expected, they overestimated their opponent; it was just one person, and they couldn't withstand the pressure of a truly organized team.

This time, he was serious; he even took out 200 million yuan in cash flow to play with Xia Shen.

That's two hundred million! Two hundred million!!
Do you know what that means?

Speak out and scare you to death!
