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

Chapter 158 Not My Brother [35 Updates]

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it might not be a bad idea after all.

There's a lot to be done!

After all, nothing smells as good as the hard-earned money, even if the process is a bit too cheap.

But haven't you seen that Xia Shen hasn't lost much of his value? He's made it into the world's top 100 and nobody's criticizing him. And now he's about to hold his first concert at the Magpie Nest.

So why can't they? Doesn't this prove that the audience and fans of Chinese music have grown to a more understanding stage? They are able to better understand musicians.

However, when Xia Shen's first concert was mentioned, his expression turned gloomy.

Because Zhang Yuge was about to embark on a concert tour around that time, and she chose to open the show in Beijing.

It's not the Magpie's Nest, but the Workers' Stadium.

After all, although Zhang Yuge's popularity rose rapidly during this period thanks to the company's relentless efforts, the problems at the crucial juncture of "The Singer 2026" caused a serious gap in their plans, preventing them from achieving the best operational results.

Therefore, even though Zhang Yuge's popularity has rebounded somewhat, the rebound has been very limited.

What does this mean? At this time, Xia Shen publicly announced that he was going to hold a concert, and that it would be much bigger than theirs.

Isn't this a blatant provocation?
If Zhang Yuge's ticket sales are indeed lower than Xia Shen's and she is overshadowed, then in comparison, Zhang Yuge and Xia Shen have the advantage of being old rivals from "The Singer," which will definitely affect Zhang Yuge's personal value.

While it's true that Zhang Yuge is his personal plaything, she's merely a tool. He has many, many playthings, so having one more or one less won't make a difference.

What he values more is Zhang Yuge's commercial value.

In recent years, there have been many examples in the entertainment industry of veteran artists who have faded into obscurity and then made a comeback, with some even becoming incredibly popular again. This shows that the entertainment industry in recent years has actually been thriving on the return of these artists.

The "twice-cooked pork economy" is starting to gain traction and has potential for profit.

So their choice was Zhang Yuge, who was once incredibly popular in the Chinese music scene, rose to fame, and was hailed by countless people as the prince of love songs, whose popularity at its peak was comparable to that of the two Heavenly Kings.

If Xia Shen really gains the upper hand, it won't just be a matter of face; the company's strategic goals will also be affected.

This is absolutely unacceptable!

What they need most now is to find a suitable way to break the deadlock.
Originally, they didn't know how to choose the perfect breakthrough point.

Even now, seeing so many of Xia Shen's low-quality songs that inexplicably became popular, he feels like he has found a direction.

Yes! We live in a fast-paced world now!
There is a market for things that can purely bring emotional value, and the market is not small.

If they can do it in deep space, why can't they do it in the West?
If Xia Shen can take this path, why can't Zhang Yuge?

If they really want to pursue the traffic-driven path, he doesn't think they're afraid of anyone, because they're a powerful family; they have money and resources!

What's in deep space? Deep space only has Xia Shen!

They allocated 200 million yuan to curb and seize the market share of Deep Space, aiming to squeeze Deep Space to death and then absorb Xia Shen into their fold.

The total value is far more than just 200 million; this will be a very worthwhile deal.

Xia Shen is just one person. Even if he made a lot of money through online traffic this year, how much could he possibly earn?
And is he willing to fully commit to playing with them?
This is clearly impossible and unrealistic.

So, overall, the advantage still lies with them.

"The advantage is mine!"

Ai Xin Hengsheng reached out and gave it a firm, unbreakable grip.

This is the major direction that Xi Die has decided on for the future!

Before the concert begins, take this time to prepare more works suitable for the 'fast-paced era'.

Soon, the relevant instructions were issued, and a magnificent warship was started up instantly, its gears beginning to turn.

Xia Shen, on the other hand, was unaware of these matters.

What he's preparing for now is the upcoming appearance of the Rose Red Flower Band on "The Winter of Bands." Don't forget, Deep Space signed three new artists this time, all snatched directly from the jaws of defeat by the Xi Die Group.

So far, only two groups have been released.

Actually, neither Li Yunhe nor Tang Lele were the newcomers he valued the most.

To reiterate, the three new groups he brought in this time are actually this 'amateur' rock band composed entirely of middle-aged people.

Furthermore, Xia Shen didn't have them release an album together; instead, he planned to have them enter the world of television programs.

The reason is simple: it was the result of his discussion with Lao Chen.

Initially, all the company's senior executives, including Liao Jun, did not understand Xia Shen's move. In their view, the current rock music market was the opposite, with a pitifully small market and no potential.
Even if a program is going to air, so what?
It wasn't until Xia Shen and Lao Chen gave everyone a detailed analysis that things changed.

The reason they chose to bet on the Rose Red Flower band is simple: there are already many examples proving that niche cultures can have a mainstream market.

Previously, variety shows such as "The New Rap of China," "Street Dance Here," and "Electronic Music Era" have successively popularized some niche trend cultures.

Hip-hop, in particular, led to a cultural explosion. Before this variety show, hip-hop in China was a completely blank market.

This show made rap one of the mainstream genres.

So why can't rock music, which has been declining in China for thirty years, also ride this wave of opportunity and rise again?
In particular, this program is said to have been in preparation by iQiyi for a long time, with a huge investment of funds and resources. It will also bring together many giants of the golden age of Chinese rock to serve as mentors.

This is evident from various aspects; the program was not a product of a sudden inspiration without preparation, but a truly grand event.

So why can't we participate?
Moreover, the band that Xi Die left behind, which was the counterpart to the company's internal "poisonous insect" training program, also signed up to participate.

Look, all the big families are participating. Does that mean they mean one thing?
That means this show is indeed promising and has potential.

And now, just as the show is about to begin, Xia Shen has also devised a complete plan for the Rose Red Flower Band.

"I'll go to the venue with you then. I'll personally be your producer and temporarily take over as your manager."

Xia Shen said, "This time I'm going to have you guys do some pretty daring things, so be prepared!"

Xia Shen's words deeply moved the men.

This was especially true for team leader Huang Dalong.

He was the one who was moved.

He never doubted Xia Shen's intentions.

After all, isn't the boss's attitude enough to prove how much he values them?

With a boss like this, what more could you ask for?

As for what Xia Shen mentioned about some so-called bold attempts...

They didn't take it to heart at all.
