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

Generally speaking, it's rare for celebrities in the entertainment industry to have such intense conflicts and arguments.

Even if there are some conflicts between two artists that seem to be escalating, you can actually see some details if you observe a little. Generally speaking, no matter what, it is a matter between the fans of the two sides.

Some fan wars may rage among fans, but it's also possible that the artists have a very good relationship in private.

Even if there are any conflicts, they are generally rarely discussed in public. Because when they become celebrities, their words and actions are different from those of ordinary people. When they come out and say something, the nature of the situation immediately changes.

As a result, Hou Lixie is now saying these things.

This is tantamount to launching an attack on Xia Shen on the spot.

This statement leaves no room for maneuver, bluntly stating that Xia Shen's music has set back the Chinese music scene by fifteen years.

He didn't name names, but everyone knew he was talking about Xia Shen!

It was precisely because he didn't name names that some of Xia Shen's haters were overjoyed.

"Hahahaha, you're right, he really is the uncrowned king of Chinese pop music. I've been annoyed with him for a long time. His songs really don't deserve such high praise, especially some of his early songs. Listening to them makes my head spin. Only people who are out of their minds would listen to this kind of stuff and torture themselves."

"He just caught the wave, and a bunch of people like to listen to his cheesy songs. I really can't appreciate them at all, and they keep praising them as so great. I really don't think so. It's just empty hype. He really can't compare to a veteran like Teacher Hou who has withstood the test of the golden generation. I look forward to Teacher Hou's new album."

"You can't hold back anymore. You think you can spout nonsense just because you have the title of a so-called senior? Everyone agrees that Xia Shen has led the development of the Chinese music scene. Only you haters keep insisting on it. I really don't know why you hate Xia Shen so much. Is it because Xia Shen slapped you in the face after Ultra, causing your so-called noble perception to become distorted, thus making you hold a grudge?"

"The guy upstairs got real damage plus a critical hit, but I can't blame them. People are just stubborn and unwilling to admit their shortcomings."

"I can't hold it in anymore. Did they name names? Why are some people so quick to jump to conclusions?"

"Zhao Xiaoxia is a fan of the color pink."

"Go back 15 years? You might as well go back a few more years, or even 20 years! If you really did go back, the fans would be ecstatic!"

"Hahahaha, Mr. Hou Lixie really got me emotionally involved. I've signed up, I'll definitely support your new album!"

"I liked Hou Li-hsieh before, and I like him even more now. He's so daring, he just opens his mouth and dares to speak the truth."

The most direct feedback on traffic volume filled Hou Lixie with joy.

He did consider that saying and doing this would generate some traffic; otherwise, why would he talk about this in public?
Aside from the fact that he genuinely dislikes Xia Shen and can't stand musicians like Xia Shen, isn't the biggest reason simply that Xia Shen has a lot of online traffic?

Now, Xia Shen's popularity is so great that his haters also number in an extremely large and exaggerated way.

However, Xia Shen has always been in the upper hand in public opinion, and those haters know that they can't fight a losing game, so they haven't said anything.

However, whenever Xia Shen encounters a public opinion crisis and is at a disadvantage in public opinion, these people will emerge quickly like a hornet's nest.

This surge in traffic brought Hou Lixie a great deal of profit, which made him quite satisfied.

"This is right!"

Joined the recording of Xia Shen's new album's title track?
What's the point of joining? What would he gain? Would he even get a share of the album sales?

They even call it doing good deeds!
What good deeds are you going to do? Use my fame to do good deeds for you, to highlight your kindness, is that it?

Isn't that the idea behind it?
Who cares about you?

This wouldn't do him any good, at least not based on his many years of experience in the music industry. He might as well capitalize on this current trend and release his new album.

He had a premonition that this album would be a huge hit and sell like hotcakes.

"I will be the winner!" Hou Lixie revealed a confident smile: "That's right!"

Xia Shen did not express any opinion on the online public opinion, nor did he personally respond like Hou Lixie.

However, Hou Lixie's attitude still had some influence on him.

Regardless, Hou Li-hsieh still holds a very high position and has a great influence in the Chinese music scene, and he has a very good relationship with a large number of old-school musicians.

So after Hou Lixie made his own statement, some veteran musicians also stepped forward to express their opinions. When Xia Shen came to them hoping that they could join the album recording, they all refused Xia Shen.

Some people had already agreed, but then went back on their word.

Xia Shen didn't have any good solutions to this either.

After all, it was just a verbal agreement; he didn't sign any contract with them.

Moreover, this matter is indeed purely charitable in nature, and he explained that all proceeds from this album will be donated to charity.

Therefore, he cannot use morality to coerce people into joining or doing this or that!
In this era where interests come first, it's perfectly normal for people to be unwilling to do things that don't align with their own interests.

This unexpected turn of events resulted in a significant number of vacancies on the recording list.

Now, Xia Shen has found almost all the musicians he needed in China.

There are really not many left.

There were specific requirements for recording the song "We Are The World"; it wasn't just a matter of any singer coming along.

Ideally, it would be to gather a group of people who are influential and even have the greatest impact on the Chinese music scene.

That is what makes it more meaningful.

Otherwise, if they are all unknown singers, how can they generate a sense of appeal?
His idea is to use influence to unite people in a spirit of love.

Ultimately, Xia Shen had no choice but to turn his attention overseas.

He contacted Alex immediately, hoping to get Alex's help.

The final result was that Alex responded to Xia Shen without hesitation after hearing her troubles.

He will help Xia Shen!

Not long after, he indeed arrived in China with a large group of people.

This includes his Grammy-winning girlfriend, Angelina Jolie.

He even dragged Miley, who had appeared on the show with him before, along. (End of Chapter)
