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

Chapter 190 Is Xia Shen something Ning Neng can learn? [15 Updates]

It's no wonder that Lao Kang's expression was getting worse; it's mainly because what he was hearing was just too outrageous.

If he was full of anticipation before listening, imagining what great new songs he would hear, he could cultivate his mind, enjoy himself, and give his ears a spa treatment.

And this is the thing you serve him?
Seriously, this description is not an exaggeration at all.

How can I describe what he's hearing right now?

Before he opened it, he considered whether it would be nostalgic pop, nostalgic rock, or even the kind of music he had first heard before, which would best showcase Hua Lingfei's superb singing skills and his warm, divinely gifted voice.

But it wasn't like that at all.

Instead, he heard a very familiar, creaking sound.

Yes, that's right, he can say this with absolute certainty: he forced a commotion! Completely forced a commotion!
The booming rhythm and the bass in the reverse beat made him feel, for a moment, as if he had opened Xia Shen's album.

Isn't this just a high-energy DJ track?
How did this thing end up here??

That's why he's so confused right now, and he blurted out what he thought was the most appropriate phrase.

Are you sure he didn't just accidentally open Xia Shen's album? Is this really not a Xia Shen song?
Then I looked at the name: Hua Lingfei.

It's Hua Lingfei!
This made him frown deeply.

He didn't even finish listening to the first song before clicking on the second one.

As he listened, his brows furrowed even deeper.

This time it's not a high-energy DJ track.

It's just a song that's heavily plagiarized and lacks any real technical skill; a professional musician could write three kilograms of formulaic commercial songs in a day.

In other words, it's like those novels where the Dragon King slaps the face of the son-in-law and the God of War. Anyone who can write a novel can use a template to write a bunch of them.

It's something that has absolutely no technical content.

Then, he went through the entire album, one song after another with a blank expression.

The results were all pretty much the same.

He didn't listen to the whole album; he even skipped some songs after only hearing the beginning.

After a long pause, he said, "How should I put it? I personally think it's quite a failure. I don't think there's much to say about this kind of album. Do you all agree? I know there are quite a few professionals among my fans, and you think this assessment makes sense?"

The comments section was filled with responses.

"That makes perfect sense."

"Actually, Teacher Kang has already been very lenient with Brother Hua. I really can't believe that Brother Hua could sing this kind of song and that it would appear on Brother Hua's album."

"All I want to say right now is that I want a refund. I overpaid for this album. Oh well, I'll just consider it paying for my youth. I've listened to Andy Lau's pirated CDs for so many years, this time I'll just give it back to Andy Lau."

"I listened while giving a wry smile."

"Give me a listen to Lin Manhe, maybe her album will do?"

"Yeah, Hua Ge messed up. What if Goddess Lin doesn't? She was my goddess back then, she shouldn't mess up."

“Indeed, there’s still Lin Manhe’s story we haven’t heard yet. I don’t think it’s good for us to jump to conclusions too early.”

"Too disappointed."

Many viewers' thoughts at this moment actually overlap with Lao Kang's.

Without further ado, Lao Kang left Hua Lingfei's new album with a blank expression, showing no joy or sorrow, and instead clicked on Lin Manhe's album.

I clicked play.

As a result, after listening for a short while, his brows furrowed more and more, and a look of deep concentration appeared in his eyes.

So, without a second thought, he dropped the album. This time, he didn't even have the interest to listen to the beginning of the other songs.

He even forgot that he was live-streaming, and openly frowned, took out a cigarette, lit it in front of the camera, and took a deep drag.

It was only after being warned by the system that he realized what was happening and quickly hid the cigarette.

The audience went crazy at that moment.

"66666, Teacher Kang is awesome, he directly confronted the super censors."

"The reviewer was so angry he laughed."

"It's clear that Teacher Kang was really hit hard, but that's normal. After all, who could have predicted hearing something like this before it started? He was listening with the mindset of enjoying a feast, since albums are always expensive. In the end, he didn't get to enjoy the feast, but instead had to eat a huge chunk of food, and they even forced him to swallow it."

"How could Brother Hua agree to sing this kind of song? Is he really not afraid of ruining his reputation in his later years?"

"Superpowers, I guess. I can only say that the other party gave them just too much."

"A cigarette expresses all the feelings at this moment. It's like saying nothing, yet it's as if everything has been said."

Old Kang didn't say anything more, but directly said to the viewers in the live broadcast room: "That's all for today's live broadcast, see you next time."

After saying that, he immediately turned off the broadcast.

The news of Lao Kang's humiliating end to the broadcast quickly spread, and the slices of the mosquito coil he had publicly used in front of everyone in the live stream also circulated everywhere.

Coupled with the fact that the entire internet is currently discussing Hua Lingfei and Lin Manhe's new album, the hype is already explosive.

But how should I put this assessment?

The reviews weren't very positive; in fact, they were all controversial.

"I've lost my hearing! Geneva, give me my money back!"

"This is what you give me for the 888 collector's edition album? I really like Hua Lingfei and Lin Manhe, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to be exploited by you guys!"

"I thought I was coming here for a big meal, but you guys just stuffed a huge chunk of food into my mouth!"

"vomit!"

"Really, not everyone can learn from Xia Shen."

"Now look what's happened. He could have retired with a clean reputation, but suddenly he's done something so outrageous."

"Could it be that the netizens guessed right? Xi Die doesn't really want them to learn from Xia Shen and follow Xia Shen's path, does she?"

"It's still very possible, but can anyone really learn from Xia Shen? The reason why fans and listeners can accept stuffing history into albums is because he is Xia Shen, the only one in the entire music industry, there is no other one like him, and no one else can learn from him."

On major music review websites and portals, including the three major music platforms, the ratings for Hua Lingfei and Lin Manhe have all plummeted to rock bottom. Even chat platforms have seen a surge in memes and emojis related to them.

Many netizens even suggested that the two of them add the words "[Mentor Xia Shen]" to the end of their Weibo posts.

Starting from the second day, the album sales of this superstar pair plummeted to rock bottom.

The news was simultaneously relayed back to Xidie Entertainment, leaving Aixin Hengsheng completely stunned.

He stood there stunned for a long time, unable to react.

Then came a look of disbelief and a deep-seated doubt.

how could be?

how can that be possible?
Why does this happen?
When Xia Shen was pursuing a strategy of targeting lower-tier markets, things went incredibly smoothly, and the facts proved that this kind of approach could indeed be well-received and appreciated by the market.

But why did things change completely when it was their turn?
What the hell is going on? How did this world become so insane?

Isn't this audience member just being hypocritical?
