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

Chapter 219 It turns out Xia Shen is also an abstract person

"What the hell?! What kind of bastard is this?!"

Speed ​​had lost the ability to think; he stood there dumbfounded, his pupils dilating in shock.

Originally, he was the happiest person to learn that Xia Shen had come to America, and he was extremely excited.

Because right now, the songs Xia Shen wrote for Tian Min have become his biggest catalyst for gaining popularity.

You could say that he already has a huge following, making him arguably the world's number one internet celebrity.

But those songs did slightly boost his fame.

You should know that this is an extremely difficult and incredible thing.

At their level, every step up is incredibly difficult, comparable to climbing to the heavens. They should be focused on maintaining their current status rather than letting themselves be fleetingly forgotten like a shooting star once people lose interest.

Speed ​​had always had this problem, and his popularity had declined slightly compared to before.

This is why he's always looking for ways to create new shows and come up with new ideas.

There's nothing we can do. Being an internet celebrity is a profession that relies on youth. Even if you're the world's number one internet celebrity, so what? When it's time to flop, you'll still flop, right? Why should anyone watch you if you're no longer relevant? Are you just incredibly handsome?

Speed ​​is quite self-aware; he rose to fame through his antics. He's not particularly good-looking, at least not in the world of internet celebrities where handsome men and beautiful women abound. Let's not worry about whether his face is real or fake.

Now, on the internet, whether on YouTube, Facebook, or Douyin/Kuaishou, memes and clips of his songs are circulating everywhere.

It seems like everyone really enjoys seeing him get emotionally overwhelmed by these songs.

But in reality, there's no real breach of his defenses; it's all just an illusion he created to make others see.

But behind his seemingly warm and affable facade, he'd be grinning from ear to ear as he looked at the countless gifts he'd received.

Isn't that it now? His mind started to wander after he learned that Xia Shen had come to America.

He felt that he absolutely could not miss out on this wave of traffic!

He wanted to find Xia Shen, even if it was just to film a few videos together.

Putting aside the fact that his meme songs were all written by others, just to say one thing, Xia Shen's popularity is currently very high, after all, he just won two Grammy Awards this year.

This was also his previous view of Xia Shen: Xia Shen is an extremely talented musician.

Of course, someone who has won two Grammys and is ranked among the world's top 100 must be talented.
Although he claims to be the world's number one internet celebrity, he believes that when he's with an international star like Xia Shen, he's inevitably inferior to her in every way.

Internet celebrities are just that—internet celebrities. Their influence is still hard to compare with that of a star, especially a big star.

He never thought Xia Shen was an abstract person.

After all, those songs were actually just regular songs. The reason they have so many abstract meanings now is because he added them to them.

For example, the "needle inside" in "Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse".

It only sounds like it; the person is singing in Mandarin, not actually using N-words.

It was all just a coincidence. Xia Shen is such a talented and amazing musical genius. Would he deliberately write a song with such racial discrimination?
The answer is obvious: no, it was all unintentional.

Originally, this idea was deeply rooted in his mind.

Until he eagerly opened Xia Shen's live stream and listened for a while, he began to have serious doubts about his own understanding.

Could the song he was hearing now possibly have any connection whatsoever with the Xia Shen he remembered? Could it possibly be related to the musical prodigy he considered to be?
The answer is simple: it doesn't exist, it definitely doesn't exist.
Instead, he heard a feeling in the song.

It's a feeling that comes from one's own kind.

It's as if the person in front of him now is the same kind of person as him.

The singing was so abstract that it was almost unbearable to listen to.

As viewers flocked to the live stream, the chat exploded.

"?????"

"Shit!!!!!"

"I haven't gone to the wrong place, have I? Holy crap, where have I ended up? Is this still America?"

“I sang it to my great-grandmother, and I saw my great-grandmother, who had been dead for many years, waving to me.”

"Is this Xia Shen's live stream? The Xia Shen from the Grammys?? I'm not sure, let me go out and take another look, damn it, it really is!! How can it be so vague!!"

"Oh no, I feel like Xia Shen's image in my heart is crumbling little by little."

"This was intentional, wasn't it? It wasn't like this at the Grammys yesterday. Their impromptu performance of 'Memory Reboot' was absolutely amazing!! It's completely different from what we're hearing now!!"

"He gave away crabs as a gift, he did it on purpose! Undisputedly on purpose!! I never imagined Xia Shen would be such an abstract person!!"

Shocking! Unbelievable!
These are the thoughts and feelings of all the viewers in the live stream.

Of course, many viewers, such as Xia Shen's former wife fans or even husband fans, or some of his more fervent admirers, felt as if the sky had fallen.

"no!!!"

"Don't do this!!!"

"Xia Shen, you're ruining my feelings for you! Please stop, or I really can't take it anymore! Do you know how important you are to me? I can't bear the pain of having my idol's aura shattered!!"

"I feel that something inside me is dying little by little, gradually withering away."

It was a scene of utter devastation.

A single live stream brought Xia Shen a huge amount of attention and fans, and also gave him excellent data of over 10 online viewers for his debut.

This data, when placed in the international version, is comparable to that of some top-tier internet celebrities.

Of course, he's still some distance from Speed's current level and can't quite catch up yet.

However, one thing must be clear: this is merely the beginning for Xia Shen, not his end, nor is it nearly as exaggerated as reaching the end.

To have reached such a level even at the very beginning is truly terrifying.

Xia Shen's live stream clips are continuously destroying people's values ​​and subverting their perception of him as a newly crowned Grammy King.

However, no one thought that this was Xia Shen's expected level of skill, nor did anyone think that Xia Shen sang the song that way on purpose.

Instead, he was categorized into the sequence of people who are, in fact, also abstract beings.
