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

Chapter 164 Truly Delicious [27 Updates]

Finally, after a long process, the final moment arrived, and the first season of "The Winter of Bands" officially began!
As the opening act of a show like this, it naturally needs to be substantial. The production team are all seasoned veterans in the industry, and they all know very well that even if you do save the big shots, the eye-catching and substantial people for later, and then bring in the less important ones in the middle, you still have to make sure the opening is good.

We must get our spirits up.

So the first guest to appear was none other than Lin Jian, a Chinese rock superstar who emerged from the golden age of rock!

So when this man, wearing a five-pointed star baseball cap and already in his twilight years, took the stage, he still displayed a level of enthusiasm beyond his years.

The rousing music began, the familiar melody of red rock, and the deep, powerful voice.

Although he has indeed aged and his voice is not as good as it used to be, who can calmly listen to the voice that is the pioneering voice of the founder of a genre and the memory of countless people's youth?

Therefore, not only was the atmosphere of the live broadcast stirred up, but the scene was also very enthusiastic. Almost all the contestants and guests stood up, including Xia Shen and Zhang Qiangwei!

Stand and listen!
After all, although the show doesn't have mentors, rock music is a continuation of the rebellious spirit, and while there can be judgment, there shouldn't be any mentors.

That's why there's a fan club instead of a mentor club.

You can be a music fan and a critic, but you can't be a critic who instructs others!

However, without a doubt, if mentors were to be appointed, Lin Jian on stage would certainly be at the mentor level; no one would be more qualified than him!

Even, he is the mentor's mentor!

The live chat exploded with comments.

"Aaaaaaah!! This is the voice of youth!!"

"Twenty years ago, rock and roll made my blood boil; twenty years later, rock and roll brings tears to my eyes. People always ask what rock and roll is. For me, rock and roll is a lighthouse on the sea, a light in the darkness. No matter how restless society is or how complicated people's hearts are, rock and roll will still let me be myself, without bowing my head, without compromising, without being humble or arrogant, and without following the crowd."

"For new listeners or those unfamiliar with rock music, Lin Jian's patriotic rock song, in terms of its arrangement, singing style, and the spirit it conveys, can serve as a textbook for Chinese rock music."

If you don't understand what rock and roll is, just listen to this song and you'll know. Ultimately, some things in China have developed in a rather strange way; they reach their peak right away and then decline continuously. Rock and roll is a classic example of this.

"I once read a quote: 'Chinese rock music is like Lin Jian and Du Xian. One teaches people to open their eyes to see the world, and the other teaches people to close their eyes to examine their own hearts.'"

"Wow, all the contestants and guests stood up, including Xia Shen and Zhang Qiangwei!"

"Wait, why are there still people sitting here? What's with those four aspirin pills? And that look in their eyes, it's kind of disdainful."

"Isn't that too arrogant? Even though Xia Shen and Zhang Qiangwei were standing, they were still sitting down when facing a big shot like Lin Jian."

"Some are due to seniority and seniority. Lin Jian is indeed irreplaceable. Xia Shen and Zhang Qiangwei are simply people of excellent character who know how to respect others, unlike some people."

"So what? Whether they stand or not is their business. What if they don't want to stand? Just because you debuted a long time ago, does that mean they have to be respectful to you? The Qing Dynasty is long gone! What kind of bullshit feudal thinking is this? Rock and roll is the continuation of the spirit of rebellion!"

"That's right, aspirin has that capability."

"This is hilarious! Aspirin dares to try and piggyback on Lin Jian's fame? What song of theirs can even come close to competing with Lin Jian? This is a complete slap in the face!"

"No matter what, it brought tears to my eyes."

"."

The number of viewers also began to soar at this time, quickly rising by another ten million to reach 6000 million online viewers, and everyone started to get excited.

That's the advantage of starting strong.

Of course, while everyone was discussing Lin Jian's music, many viewers were also debating one particular issue.

This controversy arose because of aspirin.

All the guests, contestants, and fans present stood up, while they remained seated.

This made many viewers feel uncomfortable, even uneasy, as if they were being presumptuous.

However, many aspirin fans actually think there's nothing wrong with this.

Even many people who were previously unfamiliar with aspirin said they became fans. "Wow, what a band with attitude, I love this kind of band."

"Exactly, why be so hypocritical? Music is all about letting the work speak for itself."

"With their strength on display, being arrogant is justified."

"Strength? What strength do they have?"

"How can you say they lack talent? When it comes to the younger generation, who can compare to them? They've created the purest form of rock music right now!"

"Oh, so you think copying Westerners is what makes you authentic, huh? That's hilarious. Trying to impress Xia Shen with talk about the younger generation, don't forget there's a young person in the world's top 100! He's world-class!"

"If you say that Xia Shen is world-class in pop and electronic music, or even rap, then probably no one can refute it. But does he even understand rock? Does he really think it's the same as crappy pop and stupid electronic music?"

"When it comes to rock music, not everyone can claim to know it; aspirin can really kill him."

"Such a lot of hostility, isn't it unnecessary? Can't we just enjoy listening to music in peace? Do we have to make a judgment on which is better? Do we have to argue about who is superior?"

"Exactly, Xia Shen's fans are all confused. How did Xia Shen get dragged into this again? How come everything seems to involve Xia Shen?"

"I've noticed that ever since Xia Shen made it into the world's top 100, all sorts of people like to bring up Xia Shen in whatever they do or talk about, and compare him to a song."

"Oh no, Xia Shen is not as good as so-and-so again. This time it's aspirin's turn."

"Let's talk again when we can truly match their grades."

"Get out, you business dogs!"

As for the controversy that has been making headlines among the audience, Xia Shen and the other parties involved are naturally unaware of it.

He never expected that he would once again be innocently compared to others when he hadn't done anything at all.

If he found out, he would have to sigh helplessly.

What's wrong? It's me again? What did I do that you're dragging me into this again?
Am I not a singer who makes Tang songs?
Soon, Lin Jian's performance ended, and as expected, it received unanimous praise. Both the fan club and online viewers' scores reached an outrageous level.

It might even monopolize the top spot right from the start.

This also proves from another angle that, as expected, a big shot is a big shot. No matter how many years pass, your Uncle Lin Jian is still your uncle!
The guests and contestants who came on stage next were not as high-profile; they were all just some unremarkable bands and guests.

They continued like this for five or six groups.

Finally, the real heavyweight bands took the stage!

First, the host's announcement jolted everyone awake.

"Next, let's welcome Aspirin! They'll perform 'Mancunian in the Rain' for us! Cheers!!!"

Then, led by Li Le, who was wearing a British suit, the four members of Aspirin, carrying their instruments, walked onto the stage without looking at anyone or showing any expression.

Their performance produced a pungent, slightly reverb-enhanced acoustic electric guitar sound.

Then there's the clean, clear voice, singing entirely in English with a British accent.

This caused a frenzy of joy in the live stream chat.

"Wow, the taste is really authentic, it really gives you the feeling of walking in Manchester in the rain."

"It tastes just right, really. It's on par with the top Britpop bands of the past. It's practically cheating for a band like this to appear in China."

"It tastes authentic, isn't it just that the flavor is really strong? What? Are these four also David Day?"
