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

Chapter 150 Two Trash Cards

Therefore, he is now in a situation where victory is almost certain, and he cannot think of any reason why he could lose.

Especially after hearing the song.

Just now, the melody that rang in his ears was none other than the song from one of the three promising young artists that Deep Space Entertainment had poached from them—Li Yunhe's newly released album.

He did not underestimate his opponent, after all, he had heard of how terrifying Xia Shen was, and he had made preparations accordingly. Before listening, he was so frightened by the densely packed list of Xia Shen's names that he almost got goosebumps.

To this end, he even invited several of the company's top producers to come over so that they could thoroughly analyze the album.

But what about now? What about all that he's heard?

"What the hell!"

Aixin Hengsheng looked disgusted.

He felt that even without the help of a top producer, he could still get a general idea from the sound of a recording, even though he himself, as the head of a top-tier company, wasn't particularly knowledgeable or professional in this area.

Take, for example, the title track, "Rare Characters".

The song lives up to its name, as it is filled with obscure characters throughout.

They don't care about the logic of the lyrics either.

It makes no sense! It's just pure iteration!
It combines a whole host of less commonly used words and phrases, such as "dragon soaring high," "standing alone," "colluding with each other," "walking alone," "enlightened by enlightenment," "abundant offspring," "regarded as a guiding principle," "graceful and charming," "tears streaming down one's face," "nagging incessantly," and "neither good nor bad."

They clearly have different meanings and connotations, but they've been forcibly combined into a single phrase!

And then they have to come up with some fancy excuse, like "the excellent culture of our Chinese nation".

He could barely contain himself and almost burst out laughing while listening from the side.

Then the melody is also a very formulaic one, which is very ordinary. Of course, this is the conclusion given by his top producers.

With this kind of melody, you could probably hear the influence of ten thousand other songs in one song.

Therefore, this cannot be a song!

Let alone whether it can reach the level of a title track!

Then he listened to the remaining five songs on the entire EP album one by one.

The more he listened, the harder it became for him to suppress the urge to smile.

The following songs are "Treading Mountains and Rivers", "Parting Sorrow", and "The Other Side of the River of Oblivion".

Even when he heard these three songs, he still couldn't help but smile.

The more I listened, the more reassured I felt.

He roughly figured out that the album Xia Shen wrote for Li Yunhe was themed around ancient Chinese style.

Moreover, it has an extremely high usage rate of opera-style vocals.

It's probably because Xia Shen found out Li Yunhe could sing opera and then started using him like crazy.

But how should I put it? The three songs he heard were extremely homogeneous, and the arrangements were also clearly and obviously a nested pattern.

It's not a good song; it's more like a cheap, mass-produced meal in the music industry.

To put it more bluntly, these songs, from the title track to the album, are not at the level that one would expect from a world top 100 hit.

At this point, he felt much more at ease.

It seems that Xia Shen really is no longer capable.

If you let him stay calm and focused, and give him time to create, there's no denying that he'll bring some surprises to everyone and write something truly groundbreaking.

But now, this situation, where he has to frequently take things out, has completely overwhelmed him.

For example, these few songs are very subpar.

Then you don't need to listen anymore.

Is there any point in listening to this kind of song anymore?

Moreover, with such a significant transformation, it's uncertain whether the fans Li Yunhe painstakingly built up will accept it.

It's important to know that there isn't much overlap between the audience of R&B lovers and those who enjoy traditional Chinese pop music.

He only glanced at the remaining three songs briefly.

"Farewell to the Nine Gates: Memories", "Ten Years in the Human World", "Ten Thousand Frontiers".

He didn't even need to listen; the remaining three songs were absolutely, positively, the same old stuff. "Next!"

Ai Xin Hengsheng shook his head and quickly gestured for the next step.

His time is very valuable, and he doesn't have that much time to waste with Xia Shen any longer.

Take some time to gently crush him like an ant, and then tell him that running a company isn't so easy. Capital is capital, and a powerful family is a powerful family. So what if you poach my promising talent? A powerful family has resources in every aspect.

For example, this time, he used 2 million yuan of funds within the scope of his authority.

Using 200 million to crush a newly established company is, in the eyes of the other party, like a frog in a well seeing the moon in the sky.

That's two hundred million in cash flow. Do you know what that means?

Like I said, it'll scare you to death when I tell you!
This means they can easily come up with tens of millions of yuan in publicity and operation funds to carry out extensive promotion.

What's more, this is on top of the high-quality albums that have been tailored by top producers.

He even felt that having Xia Shen's songs battle against his company's newly released premium album was a desecration of their premium album!
After listening to Lee Yoon-ho's album, it was time for the second person to listen.

That is, Tang Lele, that fresh and innocent female singer.

Because of Li Yunhe's lead, Aixin Hengsheng had a certain 'prediction' regarding the quality.

Then I opened the album and listened, and wow! Just as I expected!

The album's title track is called "Parting Blossoms".

How to describe the whole song?

It possesses the same aesthetic appeal as "Rare Characters".

Even his top producers criticized it more harshly than "Rare Characters".

One of them even said dismissively, "I could write three kilograms of this kind of song a day without even taking a deep breath."

In summary, it involves absolutely no technical skill!

You don't even need singing skills.

Then, continuing down the list, "If the Moon Doesn't Come" is a song sung by Li Yunhe and Tang Lele.

Then, when he heard "If You Come in Three Winters," he almost burst out laughing.

Shaking his head, the last bit of patience was reached. Next song, "Your Tavern Closed Its Doors to Me".

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

I laughed out loud, I really laughed out loud.

We won! We really won.

Hearing this, he had no idea how he could possibly lose.

There's absolutely no need to listen any further.

If he had to give a single evaluation, it would probably be: Zhao Xiaoxia Shen!

This is hilarious! Is this what they call the world's top 100?
Hopefully, they will squeeze Deep Space Entertainment out of its survival space and shatter his company dream, so that when he comes to Xidie again, he can push the price down even further.

At least by then, the price he can sign won't be the same as before.

He still had no interest in listening to the remaining three songs.

One song is "Red Wish", another is "Grain in Ear", and another is "The Wind Rises".

Is there any point in listening? Isn't this mostly just a matter of quality?

As I always say, if it becomes popular, he'll take it!
"A direct allocation of 2000 million for marketing and promotion!" Aixin Hengsheng declared boldly, "I'm going to launch a full-scale attack!"

He's in a great mood right now!
The world's top 100?

What can be done? What can be done anyway!
On the internet, with the massive investment of funds from large and wealthy families and the accumulation of a large amount of resources, the speed of gaining momentum is actually very fast. Soon, many people have paid attention to the albums released by the two newly signed artists of Xidie Entertainment, and various discussions have appeared on the internet at an extremely fast pace!

Of course, many professional music critics also gave it extremely high praise.

This includes Kang Zhihong, who currently holds a top position among music critics in China.

Speaking of this name, he is a very influential person in the industry.

(There will be two updates today and tomorrow. This is because the filming of this small advertisement for the psoriasis will take three days. It is actually busier than the work on a film set. We need to go to many places and film many versions. So, as usual, the two updates will be postponed to the 2th of next month.)
