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

Chapter 189 Ning is also learning from Xia Shen? [58th update]

However, this also reflects that the news of Hua Lingfei and Lin Manhe's comeback with a new album is indeed quite exciting.

It's likely that this period of time is also for the purpose of generating buzz. Many netizens who enjoy short videos have also noticed that many internet celebrities have recently collaborated with these two on video projects, and they frequently appear in other internet celebrities' videos.

And so, Hua Lingfei and Lin Manhe, who already held the titles of "Heavenly King" and "Heavenly Queen," saw their popularity skyrocket in a very short time, reaching an extremely high and exaggerated level.

Not only fans outside the industry, but also many people within the industry have taken notice of this matter.

Many eyes are watching.

After all, anyone in the industry can see that this album was created by Xi Die with the help of these two people and a luxurious production team with so many resources.

Something big is definitely going to happen.

An invisible tension permeated the air, both inside and out, emanating a strong smell of gunpowder.

After all, isn't it obvious enough that Xia Shen's fans are currently engaged in a fierce battle with Lao Dengqun on the internet?

If you say there's no behind-the-scenes manipulation in such a huge war of words, even a dog wouldn't believe it.

In addition, there were some disputes and struggles between Xia Shen and Xi Die before, which were not secrets in the circle.

It can be said that Xia Shen's current situation—running his own company and being forced to leave—is closely related to Xi Die.

Yes, that's right. At least in the eyes of industry professionals, Xia Shen was forced to leave. Even now that he's starting his own company, it's a move born out of necessity.

The underlying reason is simply that Xi Die wanted to control Xia Shen, and she came for Xia Shen's value by acquiring Xia Shen's original company.

To their utter surprise, their accustomed arrogance led them to overlook the fact that Xia Shen's strength was actually greater than they had imagined.

Xia Shen was much more capable than Xi Die had anticipated. They couldn't control him at all, leading to some rather awkward situations.

The fact that Vision Effects has now gone bankrupt and is in liquidation proves that Hisee's acquisition of the company ended in complete failure and resulted in significant losses.

This means there's quite a grudge between the two sides.

With such a big holiday, and now Xi Die has made such a big move, the fire still ended up burning Xia Shen. If they say that their target is not Xia Shen, who would believe that?

Nobody would believe that.

Therefore, many industry professionals are now watching this battle with a kind of "let's see what happens" mentality, wanting to see who will stand out in the end and who will be the real winner.

Then, amidst the anticipation of many, their new album was finally released.

The day was filled with the sounds of firecrackers and drums, and all sorts of promotional materials were everywhere.

It's all about nostalgia, the return of those who once stood at the pinnacle, and the birth of an uncrowned king in the Chinese music scene.

This caused a stir among fans and industry professionals alike.

Naturally, Lao Kang, a professional music critic, also started a live stream.

After all, his main battleground now is the internet, so how could he possibly let go of such a huge wave of traffic? Naturally, he has to keep up with the trend.

Immediately after he started the live stream, the room received a massive influx of traffic.

The number of viewers in the live stream quickly exceeded 10.

This is the current level of attention Hua Lingfei and Lin Manhe are receiving!
"Hello everyone, good evening. I think we all have the same purpose in gathering in the live broadcast room today."

The bullet comments were also densely packed.

"Successfully parachuted in, then blow up the command post."

"Here it comes! Fresh food is here, Haochi!"

"This time it's definitely going to be interesting to listen to. With such a stellar lineup and production team, the anticipation is off the charts."

"It's almost time."

Indeed, seeing that it was almost time, Lao Kang opened his music app, which turned out to be the Tencent Music client!
As soon as he opened the software, a startup animation popped up.

It was a large photo cover featuring Hua Lingfei and Lin Manhe! No need to guess, it was their new album.

Hua Lingfei's "Spring Breeze Blows" and Lin Manhe's "Back to Modern Times." There's a countdown timer above them.

Now, all that can be seen is that the countdown has only one minute left!

"Wow, this is impressive! They've already released a huge banner and animation for the start-up animation before the official launch. That's impressive."

"The anticipation is definitely high, and the cover photo is also very stylish, giving off that feeling of the Golden Leopard from decades ago."

"Waaaaah, I'm dreaming I'm back to the end of the 20th century!"

"This is what my youth and childhood were like! Are these two albums going for a nostalgic feel?"

"Nostalgia is great! That's exactly the kind of nostalgia I want! I love watching this kind of thing!"

"Let's get started! Thirty seconds left!"

Old Kang was also somewhat surprised and said, "Wow, it seems that Xi Die attaches great importance to this new album and has invested a lot of resources in promoting it. I am also looking forward to the quality of these two albums."

Logically speaking, such a high-caliber team should be of high quality. However, as I mentioned before, such a high-caliber team has a fatal flaw: it is easy to get into trouble. With too many people, everyone has their own different opinions, making it difficult to reach a consensus.

But the situation is completely different now. There won't be an awkward situation like last time. Do you, my viewers, know why?

Old Kang chuckled, keeping everyone in suspense.

Soon, viewers and fans in the live chat started interacting.

"Tell me quickly! Stop keeping me in suspense!"

"Tell me quickly! Why?!"

"I'm actually quite curious."

"It's probably because someone can keep things under control this time."

It has to be said that when there are many people, there will always be someone who can see through the essence of the problem at a glance. Soon, a fan gave the correct answer.

Old Kang nodded and said, "Oh right, this viewer named 'Eat Well and Deliciously' has pointed out the key point. This time, although it's the same as the two artists that Xi Die promoted last time, it's a luxurious team, a big production, and more than a dozen top producers."

However, there is a difference. Last time, there were two groups of new artists who had just debuted and had little experience. They were more like puppets customized by the company. Whatever the company told them to sing, they obediently followed along.

But this time is different. This time, both Hua Lingfei and Lin Manhe are veterans who have come from the golden age. They have truly fought their way out of the fierce competition and are real powerhouses. They are not only good at their own work, but also have good creative abilities.

In such a team, they can serve as pillars and cornerstones.

Therefore, this perfectly addresses the shortcomings that existed in similar situations before, and these crises will no longer exist. Thus, with someone who can command the scene and has sufficient influence, these dozen or so top producers can truly shine in a different light.

Old Kang's words caused a stir in the live stream, raising expectations even higher.

However, it was at this moment that the countdown on the homepage reached 0.

In other words, Hua Lingfei and Lin Manhe's new album is officially released at this very moment.

Immediately, Lao Kang couldn't wait to click on the album and make a purchase. He bought the collector's edition physical album without hesitation.

"To be honest, I'm also a long-time fan of Andy Lau and Lin Chi-ling. I've always liked Andy Lau, so I definitely need to get the full set of the collector's edition."

Then I clicked into the online listening section.

First, there's Hua Lingfei's album "Spring Breeze".

The first song is the title track.

However, his expectant expression turned to furrowing as soon as he clicked to play the video.

The more he listened, the deeper his brow furrowed.

In the end, his expression grew increasingly grim.

"Is this Hua Lingfei's album? Not Brother Hua, Ning is also imitating Xia Shen!??"

(In the end, I still didn't make it before midnight. I'll postpone it until 5 a.m. tomorrow. I can't take it anymore. I feel weak and sleepy.)
