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

Chapter 18 Xia Shen SKYINDEEP
"certainly."

At this point, the vice president changed the subject again: "Although July Records is not a company that is stingy with resources for investing in newcomers and will give them opportunities, they still have to pass the assessment. After all, your next album is no small matter. Wang Qing, can you tell Yu Meng the specifics?"

After saying that, he looked happily to the side of Zhou Yumeng.

"Ok."

Next to Zhou Yumeng, Wang Qing, who is also Zhou Yumeng's manager, Sister Qing, nodded and stepped forward.

She took out a stack of documents from her briefcase and said, "I've already reached an agreement on my end, and since everyone's here, I'll take this opportunity to announce it."

With the cooperation of our company's business department, our team has secured a collaboration offer from Kelida Films for the soundtrack of the TV series "The Legend of Immortals and Demons." We will be joining the production of the soundtrack!

Zhou Yumeng's team was stunned for a moment before a heated discussion broke out.

"The Legend of the Immortals and Demons? Is that the one with TV King Zhang Chenhua, TV Queen Lin Lili, and Xiao Jianci?"

"The company even secured this??"

"No way? We actually got a chance? With so many big shots in the company, shouldn't they be the ones getting these resources first?"

The TV series "The Legend of the Immortals and Demons" is familiar to many people.

Because this is undoubtedly the most anticipated and talked-about TV series that will be released this year, bar none!
It's not for any other reason than the popularity of the original work, the top-notch production team behind it, the luxurious lineup, and the huge investment.

This is an adaptation of a wildly popular online novel. The original work is by a platinum author on the leading website, Zhongdian.com, and is considered one of the most outstanding works of online novels today.

The rights were then bought by the prestigious film and television company, Kelida Pictures, which announced plans to adapt it into a film or television series.

Subsequently, TV King Zhang Chenhua and TV Queen Lin Lili both announced their participation, and the total investment and remuneration of the leading and co-starring cast reached 6.87 million yuan. Among them are many familiar faces to the audience, which can be described as a gathering of big names, with the emperor and empress leading the way.

The total investment for the entire TV series reached a staggering 11.2 billion yuan!
What does it mean to produce an original soundtrack for a TV series like this?
Their team led by Zhou Yumeng has only been established for less than half a year, and Zhou Yumeng herself has only recently gained recognition.

Although she is currently at the peak of public opinion and popularity due to her championship in "The Voice of China," she does need to strike while the iron is hot to better solidify Zhou Yumeng's position in the music industry.

But the problem is, isn't this opportunity too great?
July Records is not without big names; on the contrary, they have quite a few, including two female singers.

While Zhou Yumeng's team was shocked, the vice president just smiled and remained silent.

He merely glanced slightly in Zhou Yumeng's direction.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of opportunity would definitely not be available to a new singer.

Even if she won the championship of "Treasure Voice" and sang a hit song, it was still the same.

After all, in the eyes of a company, a singer is equivalent to an IP. Whether an IP has the value of continuous development and its future performance need time to prove. After all, no one can guarantee whether it will be a flash in the pan.

A singer may be favored by the market for a time, but that doesn't mean they will be favored by the market forever.

Moreover, for a new singer, even at a celebration banquet, it's impossible for a high-ranking leader like the company's vice president to personally attend.

But the problem is, this young lady is different.

Her father is that business tycoon.
You can disregard other people's feelings, but you have to give face to that person, and Zhou Yumeng has indeed shown enough talent.

And he also brought out a very promising creator.

That would be another surprise.

These days, it's easy to find new generation singers, but it's not so easy to find outstanding new generation songwriters. In fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that there's a generational gap, or even a complete talent shortage.

After all, the market economy now determines everything, the idol economy is booming, and the group economy and fast-paced economy are seriously impacting the traditional market. The new generation of musicians are more willing to serve these people.

This has led to a decline in the overall level of creative output.

The Chinese music scene is now being propped up by veteran gold-medal producers, and there haven't been any new talents for a long time.

This combination is something the company values ​​highly.

Zhou Yumeng also expressed her gratitude at the right time: "Then thank you very much for giving me this opportunity."

Xia Shen must be very happy about this news, right?
On the other hand, Xia Shen was unaware that he had successfully entered the field of vision of July Records, and was even being talked about at July Records' celebration banquet.

Now, for him, the more important thing is to 'strike while the iron is hot'.

Now that his single is a huge hit, he has gained a certain level of fame.

He was well aware that what he was doing wouldn't be popular for long; it was just a fast-paced business that would soon be forgotten by the public.

After all, in this era of mass production, things that can be mass-produced and lack distinctive features can occupy the ears and fragmented time of the audience for a short time, but cannot remain in their sight for a long time.

Soon someone else will make something similar, which will lead to a new wave of trends.

The fast-paced economy is incredibly fast-paced; a person or event can become a household name overnight, and just as quickly be replaced by someone else, making them the household name in the same time.

If you can't maintain a frequent presence in the public eye for a long time, you'll quickly become forgotten. Choosing to go the route of online streaming media is several times faster than the traditional artist category.

Therefore, he had to start working on his new work immediately.

Then it's best to also open your own social media accounts.

For example, he has just connected with staff from various platforms and opened his own social media accounts.

He has registered with major platforms such as Weibo, Douyin, Kuaishou, and Bilibili.

It has to be said that even with his incredibly fast reaction time, he still couldn't outpace the netizens.

Impersonation has appeared on many platforms now. The ID 'Xia Shen', and even the ID 'Musician Xia Shen', have been registered by someone else.

Therefore, even though it was genuine, he had to settle for second best and add a suffix after himself.

Of course, even the suffix wasn't chosen randomly; he decided on 'Xia Shen SKYINDEEP'.

The meaning of this ID is equivalent to: the depth of the sky.

To put it more simply, Deep Space actually comes from one of his early online names.

He just finished recording an onboarding video and posted it.

The comments section is now exploding, fully demonstrating the buzz he's generated recently.

"Good heavens, it really is you!"

"Another hooligan in the music industry has emerged."
