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

Chapter 173 You ask, and you even dare to tag Xia Shen
Of course, in the past, when people heard such news, they would have cheered and been shocked. After all, the Chinese music scene had been stagnant for so many years, and it had been a long time since any musicians had been able to dominate the international market.

But now
After being washed away time and time again, they said they had become accustomed to it.

Even Xia Shen's fans might think, "Pshaw, you're making a fuss over nothing."

That's exactly how I feel.

Those silly foreigners have never seen anything like this; all they do is make a fuss about nothing.

"Hahahaha, look at those foreigners, they're really making a fuss over nothing."

"I've gotten completely used to Xia Shen's huge success overseas. Now, when I walk down the street in Xinxiang, five out of ten shopping malls are playing 'Great Ambitions' and 'Wealth from All Directions.' What about the other five?"

Two houses were playing "Rap God," two were playing "Faded," and one was playing "Intro."

"Stop, stop, stop! Can we please stop talking about the song 'Intro'? Damn it, I can hear this song everywhere lately. All sorts of marketing accounts and documentary clips are using it. It's been overused. I used to like this song, but now I'm sick of it."

"Grass, same as before, but I have to say, it's really hot."

"Now when this sound comes on, I always feel like the video of the forging competition in the background is still running."

"I'm dying of laughter. I even saw some idiots on YouTube saying that Xia Shen is one of their Koreans. Unbelievable."

"Haven't they always been like this? They want to steal anything good from China they see."

"Actually, it's not just China; they treat everything this way."

It wasn't until "Killer Queen" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" soared to the top two spots on Spotify's overall charts in just a few days that the Chinese public finally started to react.

After all, if you say it's just because they got good grades abroad, that's fine; people are used to it.

But to achieve the number one position on the world's number one platform is a very different story.

"Holy crap, could this really mean Xia Shen will win the Grammys?"

"Oh no, the bulletin board is up too!"

"??????"

"ah????"

"Holy crap, a Billboard number one hit! Bohemian Rhapsody, amazing!!!"

“WTF???”

"Wow—I know this song is awesome, I thought so after listening to it on Le Dong, but can it really be this awesome?"

"Holy crap, so Billboard's number one spot is because they've eliminated aspirin? What's so special about aspirin anyway?"

"It's like using anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes. If they can die under these two songs, they'll definitely be given a proper burial."

"Their best achievement in life is probably that they were able to create 'Killer Queen' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. With that achievement, they will be respected wherever they go."

"From now on, for Xia Shen's fans, I hereby declare that aspirin will be the first one available."

"Aspirin is probably turning green with envy. No way, I don't want this kind of thank you!"

"After all, their rock careers are probably ruined. Now they're being ridiculed all over the internet. I can't even imagine how they'll be able to focus on making music if they live in Xia Shen's shadow like this. They might as well just go home and find a plot of land to grow vegetables."

"I have to say, with this song, we really have a good chance of winning a Grammy next year."

A single appearance at number one on Billboard caused a sensation across the internet. Everyone was overjoyed and felt a deep sense of pride.

After all these years, the Chinese music scene has always been relegated to the bottom. In the past, it was ridiculed by many foreigners for not having any outstanding musicians. When has it ever been so proud?

Of course, this is definitely not good news for Aspirin. Originally, it was just a loss in a variety show competition, but this loss has completely sealed their fate in the music industry.

However, they will not be forgotten. On the contrary, they may be remembered forever, etched in people's hearts, and even live on the internet forever.

Of course, it's not positive.

Xia Shen's move shocked many people.

Turns out, the world's top 100 rock musicians are pretty awesome too.

So, what exactly are Xia Shen's weaknesses?
Surely this person has no weaknesses?

People started discussing this issue.

Ultimately, a conclusion was reached.
"Xia Shen does have a weakness, which is that he likes to create Tang Ge (a type of folk song), and this guy will deliberately torment his fans."

"What do you mean by a weakness? Isn't this a strength? If Xia Shen really stops making these songs one day, that would be a disaster!"

"Yeah, actually, his Tang songs and corny pop songs are quite catchy after a while."

"Indeed, the main point is to appeal to both the refined and the common people. There is no class distinction in listening to Xia Shen. No matter who you are, you can understand his songs. If you like refined music, there is 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' which is refined enough, right?"

If you like upbeat music, there's something like "Five Hours." If you prefer something a bit more sensual, there's something like "The Rap of God." Of course, if you think that's too sweet, you can seamlessly switch to "Rap God." The main goal is to capture a wide audience, from eighty-year-olds to eight-year-olds, catering to all tastes regardless of age, gender, or social class.

Of course, if you like something trendy, there's also...?
"Popular, popular, popular, Zhou Yumeng is here! Yeah! Damn, Xia Shen doesn't seem to have many pop songs at all! He hardly does any pop music! It's mostly sung by Zhou Yumeng."

Finally, netizens came to the alarming conclusion that Xia Shen had no weaknesses!
At least so far, he has been able to handle any field and completely different style with ease. The insurmountable gap in transformation that other musicians see as non-existent seems to him.

At least that's how rock music is now.

Putting everything else aside, Xia Shen's performance in the second round alone surpassed that of all the other guests and bands.

Based on these two songs alone, they had no idea whether even if everyone, including Lin Jian and Zhang Qiangwei, joined forces, could win.

This makes them even more eager to see what kind of work Xia Shen will bring in the third round.

Xia Shen remains incredibly popular, frequently mentioned online, and almost every video related to him easily garners hundreds of thousands or even millions of views.

Then, someone came across this video.
In this video, a girl is lying in bed, with a bare face and a bold tone, saying the following:
"Actually, I've always been curious about one thing: where do those DJ audio tracks come from? You know, those 'whoosh, whoosh whoosh,' 'ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch,' can anyone explain it to me? I don't really know what it means, I'm just curious."

Then, she tagged Xia Shen at the end of the video.

The video immediately went viral.

Of course, netizens weren't there to provide answers, but rather to watch the spectacle.

"No way, you actually dare to ask that?"

"Actually, I'm also very curious about where it came from."

"Just ask me, why did you tag Xia Shen? Girl, I advise you to delete the video now while you still can, or you'll regret it."

(I'm here, I finished work a little late.)
