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

Chapter 192 What?! Thirty thousand yuan?! [35th update]

I wasn't particularly happy; I just listened to the news with complete indifference.

It was as if it wasn't Xi Die's people who forced him to leave that day.

And in fact it is true.

From other people's perspectives, Xia Shen's creation of his own Deep Space Entertainment was initially a choice made out of necessity.

It was because Xidie had her eye on him and wanted to control him by acquiring the visual effects company that he resisted.

Even in the beginning, everyone was not optimistic about the conflict between You and Xidie, believing that he would not be a match for one of the powerful families and that it was only a matter of time before he was squeezed out and defeated.

But in reality, only Xia Shen knew that Xi Die was actually just a catalyst in the process of him starting his company and forging his own path.

Even without Xi Die's existence, does that prove he wouldn't have gone down this path today?

not really.

In fact, even without the Xi Die incident, he would have taken this path sooner or later.

The only reason he stayed in visual effects after achieving great success was because he valued loyalty and friendship.

Visual effects provided him with a platform, an opportunity, and assistance when he needed it most and was in the most difficult time.

Therefore, he won't turn his back on people after making a comeback.

He will repay the kindness he once received.

And after his contract with the visual effects company expires, he will still choose to pursue his own career, which was already predetermined.

Xi Die was merely a catalyst.

Moreover, he didn't lose anything in the process, and Xi Die didn't cause them any trouble.

Therefore, Xia Shen's reply was simply three words: "I understand."

So he quickly forgot about it.

Because he has more important things to do now.

That's his solo concert, it's about to begin.

This is the most important event for him. On the first anniversary of his debut, he held his first live concert.

Unlike Ultra, who was merely an opening act for a live performance featuring multiple musicians, he wasn't even considered a formal guest.

It is also different from the opening ceremony of the League of Legends World Championship.

Although the opening ceremony of the World Championship Finals was also held at the Magpie Nest, this would not be his first time stepping onto the Magpie Nest Stadium.

But this was the first time he had stepped onto this venue, which was incredibly special to the Chinese people, in his own name and for a personal performance.

If a singer doesn't dream of holding their own concert at the National Stadium (the "Golden Nest"), then that singer is definitely not a good singer.

Xia Shen was no exception.

And now, he is about to realize this dream, having reached this point in just one year.

This process was remarkably fast.

After several months of preparation and hype, news of Xia Shen's upcoming solo concert has spread, and tickets have gone on sale.

"Holy crap!! I didn't get a single ticket!!"

"Damn it, can you guys slow down a bit?!"

"100,000 tickets sold out in five minutes??"

"Can you please not be so ridiculous?"

Yes, just when all the fans were eagerly anticipating the ticket rush, it was astonishing that even with multiple real-name ticket purchase binding mechanisms, 100,000 tickets still sold out in seconds.

Whether it was the SVIP seat at 3888 or the cheapest C section at 588, they were all sold out in an instant!

The speed at which tickets sold out left many of Xia Shen's fans dumbfounded. The entire internet was also stunned.

Everyone knows that Xia Shen is very popular.

But they never imagined they would become so popular!
On the day of the concert, the roads near the National Stadium were completely blocked, leading to various comical situations.

For example, some fans complained that they found scalpers at the venue, gave them more than 8,000 yuan, and the scalpers promised to bring them in.

As a result, the fans thought that the scalper had some unique private channels and that he had something on him.

To everyone's surprise, his so-called guarantee of getting them in turned into a plan to fight the security guards with a brick and let them slip in amidst the chaos.

The outcome was predictable: the scalper was arrested, and the fan was taken to the police station to assist with the investigation and give a series of statements.

Others were paid to bring fans into the venue three days early and then hide inside for three days.

Some fans actually succeeded.

Until night fell, the moment Xia Shen stepped onto the stage.

Facing the enormous stage, Xia Shen stood in the very center, looking at the densely packed fans and countless light sticks that seemed to float like stars above him. Xia Shen was somewhat stunned.

The scene at that moment was imprinted deep in his heart, giving him a feeling of excitement.

The overwhelming cheers, like a tsunami, burst through the open skylight of the stadium, seemingly aiming to reach the heavens.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"Xia Shen! Xia Shen! Xia Shen! Xia Shen!"

The calls of Xia Shen's name were repeated over and over, occasionally interspersed with shouts of "fly, fly!"

Xia Shen picked up the microphone and said, "Who called for flies? Step forward!"

At that moment, the entire audience burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

"I'm so happy to see so many people come to my solo concert today. I'm really touched. I was thinking, what if I can't sell the tickets? But now you're telling me that your love for me is deeper than I thought."

Then, before Xia Shen could finish speaking, a voice from the SVIP seats in the first row, shouting in a hoarse and broken tone, drifted over: "Thirty thousand yuan!"

"Thirty thousand yuan!?" Xia Shen grabbed the microphone and exclaimed in shock, "You're saying you spent thirty thousand yuan on my ticket!? Where did you buy it!?"

He walked directly down the stage to the audience member, squatted down, and handed the microphone to the audience member.

The audience member grabbed the microphone and shouted, "Scalpers!"

"hiss--"

Xia Shen took the microphone, stood up, and after a moment of silence, said, "I should have gone to be a scalper myself; they made all the money."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

These words drew another burst of laughter from the audience.

Many fans at the scene did not expect that Xia Shen's concert opening was not as nervous or restrained as many celebrities do when they hold their first concert.

Surprisingly, he showed a natural ease and comfort right from the start.

And most importantly, Xia Shen actually showed a bit of a sense of humor.

This aligns well with the abstract perception that fans and listeners have always held of him.

Then, the fans thought that since Xia Shen had just energized the atmosphere with a few words, the fun would continue.

Just like with Ultra, it completely blew up the scene.

As a result, when Xia Shen sat down at the piano, a faintly melancholic melody rose as his fingers danced across the strings, accompanied by the band's accompaniment, leaving everyone stunned.

Xia Shen sang softly, "The sky, which has been overcast for so long, still holds your smile."
