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

Chapter 194 Mambo, Omagiri Mambo [55 Updates]

In short, Xia Shen's concert had already shocked everyone even before it had even started.

At this moment, after a brief period of darkness, Xia Shen reappeared on the stage.

However, this time his makeup and styling were different again.

He was wearing a simple shirt, holding a microphone, standing in the center of the stage, surrounded by a band and string orchestra.

Then another piece of music started playing.

Unlike the previous song "Stranded," which started with melancholic piano music, this time it was a series of booming electronic sounds, accompanied by guitar music. Xia Shen held the microphone, looked ahead, and slowly began to speak.

"March has passed, willow catkins have scattered, and lovers have been hurrying by."

My love remains unmoved.

Flipping through yesterday's thoughts, still warm and dusty.

It feels like a lifetime has passed in a daze.

"I can't express my regret; I was startled and my heart clenched."

Indeed, as they sang, when they reached that line, everyone felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.

This song no longer has the high pitch of "Stranded" and there are no soaring musical phrases. It is a straightforward narrative with gradually deepening musical phrases.

However, it tells a heartbreaking story, revealing a sense of loneliness and brokenness both in its joy and its absence.

Combined with the twinkling lights of the light sticks and the echoing sound from the spacious sound field.

No one could sing along because it was a new song, and nobody had ever heard of it before.

But precisely because of this, the atmosphere is even stronger when Xia Shen sings alone, and the audience can hear more clearly and seriously enjoy Xia Shen's singing.

Holding tightly to the blue-and-white porcelain keepsake, keeping the promise.

Parting is always spent in disappointment.
Memory ointment can be repeatedly applied to wounds that fail to heal.

Your turning back has wounded the silence.

In the audience, Xiao Zhongge waved his light stick along with all the fans.

He was completely immersed in the song.

This is what pop music should be like!
This is truly high-quality music!
He knew that today's concert wasn't just Xia Shen's. The period after the New Year was a time when all kinds of concerts were springing up like a geyser, as everyone wanted to take advantage of this spring season. So there were quite a few concerts by various singers at this time.

For example, today, two concerts are being held simultaneously in Beijing.

One scene, deep in summer, in the magpie's nest.

The other event was hosted by the former prince of love songs, Zhang Yuge, at the Workers' Stadium.

But at this moment, as Xia Shen spoke up and the fan-taken photos circulated online, sparking discussion, Zhang Yuge, the singer who failed to win the title of "Singer" last year, already had few people who recognized her, and now this is even more true.

Zhang Yuge's concert didn't cause much of a stir; in fact, it's said that not all tickets were sold out, leaving many extra tickets.

His title as the King of Singers was already criticized by many people, and now it's even more so.

"This is the King of Singers? Hahahaha, someone who withdrew from the competition completely crushed the King of Singers in his concert."

"It's funny to see Hunan TV, funny to see singers, funny to see Zhang Yuge, funny to see the prince of love songs."

"Seriously, Zhang Yuge's act is no good anymore. She's so old, and she's fat as hell. She's just gained weight, but she still thinks she's as handsome as she used to be. She tries to act cool and handsome every day and sings her so-called love songs. But what's the result?"

"Xia Shen, this is the real tragic love song!"

"I didn't expect Xia Shen to write such amazing love songs. Although they're very poignant and seem to express deep emotion, the most obvious difference between Xia Shen and Zhang Yuge is that Xia Shen's songs are passionate, but not sycophantic. 'You go your way, I can spend my whole life healing the wounds, but don't even think about me going back to you. I can be startled and my heart can flutter, I can repeatedly apply memory cream, but you want me and Zhang Yuge to go back to you and push your butt away? Don't even think about it.'" "The comment above is spot on."

"So where exactly is Xia Shen's weakness? Surely he has some weaknesses, right? Now, someone with strong songwriting abilities also has such strong singing skills. It's simply unfair, it's like they're not leaving anyone else any chance to compete."

"I'm numb now. I really regret it. I should have spent more money to go to the event. Even if it wasn't SVIP, I could have bought a scalped ticket in section B. Now it seems like it was worth it."

"What a pity, we missed it."

So, the moment the name of the song "Blue and White Porcelain" was revealed, it immediately became a trending topic.

Xia Shen's name had been trending on social media since the day before the concert and hadn't left the trending list.

In any case, all sorts of related news kept coming one after another.

After finishing her performance, Xia Shen did not leave the stage but sat down immediately.

He sang one song after another with the audience, just like an old friend.

From the opening of "Stranded", to the regret and atmosphere of "Blue and White Porcelain", to the spiritual uplift of "Jiangnan".

Then the guests take the stage.

Yes, after several electrifying songs, it was time for the guest segment.

Concerts naturally feature guest appearances, and Xia Shen's concert was no exception.

The first group of guests was none other than the Rose Red Flower Band.

Now that they have a certain number of fans and are starting to make a smooth comeback, Rose Red Flower once again reunited with Xia Shen at Xia Shen's concert, witnessed by the fans, forming the complete "Slaughter Billboard" that the fans were happy to see.

Then, they performed "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies".

When Xia Shen sat down at the piano again, crisp and clear notes played one by one, then slowly opened his mouth, transforming into the true elegance of Cantonese music.

"Today, I watch the snow fall in the cold night."

"With a heart that has cooled, I drift far away."

"Chasing after them in the wind and rain, but unable to see their shadows in the fog."

"The love in my heart has faded without me even realizing it."

At that moment, everyone was stunned.

They once again let out a heartfelt exclamation.

what is this?
What the hell is this! ?

There's more!?
Meanwhile, online, those who were also watching the situation turned their ridicule towards Hua Lingfei and Lin Manhe.

"Yes, I should have known. Now everyone on the internet is saying that the Hong Kong entertainment industry is dead. I used to not believe it, until Hua Lingfei and Lin Manhe stood up and proved to everyone with their actions that this statement was not wrong. Only now do I realize that Cantonese songs are not dead."

"You're all frantically trying to emulate Xia Shen, but the moment he makes a move, it becomes your limit."

"How should I put it? Even if this song were released 30 years ago, it would still be considered an extremely top-notch Cantonese song."

"What an inspiring song."

However, this is not over yet.

Right there on the scene, after the roses and red flowers left the stage, before the cheers had even subsided, another person that people had been eagerly anticipating and were certain would appear at Xia Shen's concert appeared.

Zhou Yumeng appeared next to Xia Shen in a playful dress, holding a microphone, and began to speak.
"Mambo? Omargili, Mambo!"
