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

Chapter 87: The Performance's End! The Climax!
Clearly, Xiao Zhongge was very puzzled by this.

According to his plan, he originally thought that Zhou Yumeng would definitely appear. After all, based on Xia Shen's debut, in all his albums and most of his singles, whenever there was a female vocal part, it was basically Zhou Yumeng.

Anyone with ears can hear this, which shows that Zhou Yumeng didn't try to hide anything and really sang it in her natural singing style!
Their fans all know what happened.

However, because Xia Shen's reputation has always been bad—no, it should be very bad—there has been a lot of criticism. In addition, there is no solid evidence that YuM is actually Zhou Yumeng, so many people are very resistant to this speculation and often criticize these fans for making far-fetched connections.

They have explained time and time again that Xia Shen wrote a song for Zhou Yumeng. Just check it out and you'll find out!

But it's all for naught. You can change some people's opinions, but can you change everyone's opinions? When the amount of negative traffic reaches tens of millions, even if you can get a few thousand people to see these science articles at once and let them know these things, what difference will it make?

Unless there is authoritative and solid evidence, or a major event occurs that attracts enough attention and generates enough buzz to turn the tide, like Cai Zhiyin, who reversed public perception and attracted huge traffic.

Otherwise, don't even think about it. With netizens coming in waves, you simply can't convince everyone. Before this, everyone's opinion of Xia Shen was just a source of resentment.

So isn't this a great opportunity?
Cai Zhiyin and even Song Anqi have come up. These are all powerful figures under July Records. So why hasn't Zhou Yumeng come up yet?
But it made him so anxious!
But it was no use. The singers completely left the stage, and there wasn't a trace of Zhou Yumeng!
Meanwhile, the internet is already abuzz with discussion.

A new hashtag, #SummerMisunderstanding#, has made it into the top ten trending topics again!

Then the comments section was basically full of people asking for song titles, expressing their desire to hear the released album as soon as possible.

However, the live performance is still ongoing, and these songs are obviously all new. There's no information about them online, so naturally, you can't hear them on any software.

This left everyone speechless.

Everyone thought you were the king of lowbrow pop, making trashy electronic music, but when you stepped onto the big stage, you showed a level of skill that rivaled international standards.

It has continued its consistently high productivity in an even more outrageous way.

Surprisingly, every song is a new song.

Dude, what are the people who're supposed to take your place doing this? They're under a lot of pressure!
At this moment, as "God Is A Girl" finished playing, the sky had completely darkened, signaling the start of nighttime.

Night has fallen!
Xia Shen smiled.

It's time to get to the real DJing and rocking-out phase. Next, the main stage will be fully showcased, and it will unleash truly electrifying tracks perfect for the live audience.

He looked at the next song that was about to start on the track.

High On Life

Martin Garrix, a musician from another world.

Although the song has vocal parts, Xia Shen did not intend for a singer to perform it.

This song demands extremely high skill in live mixing, and Xia Shen personally recorded and sang the vocals.

It's perfect for setting off at night.

hum-

The music started playing, all the singers left the stage, and the original audio began to play.

Because what follows is entirely his own show, a demonstration of a producer's technical skills. The songs that follow will rely entirely on the turntable and mixing console to showcase the charm of the music and rhythm.

It will no longer be just playing songs one after another, but a real mixing process!

He slammed the CD player shut, and the main stage lights began to shine.

On the other side, from the center console view of the lighting technicians, the two lighting technicians were already having a blast.

As soon as the music of "High On Life" started playing, they all got goosebumps.

It's a different feeling from the previous songs, and it's a perfect transition between songs!

As they watched the young Chinese performers on stage, they felt a sense of being moved.

Their fingers flew up and down on the center console.

Should we turn on the laser?

"Let's go all out. It would be a waste not to go all out in this great atmosphere."

"it is good!"

As they spoke, they turned on the laser lights and the array of xenon lights.

In an instant, the main stage, completely different from its daytime appearance, was revealed in its true splendor.

The appearance of the complete light display, accompanied by music, made them all shout with excitement.

"Damn! Holy crap, perfect nighttime moment! That was holy shit! Did you hear how loud the audience screamed at that moment?"

"This song is perfect for nighttime, fuck!"

This young Chinese man gave them a completely different impression, and they had a feeling that this opening was going to be explosive!
Even Ultra's officials were stunned. The middle-aged white manager was in a daze, staring blankly at the dazzling stage and the audience below, their emotions running high.

"What the f*ck?"

He could already sense something was wrong. This situation was going to be difficult to resolve; the audience wasn't just not hot, they were extremely hot.

This place is about to explode.

Especially the moment night falls, when all the lights come on, accompanied by the song Xia Shen plays.

It really gives me goosebumps.

How do you have such a great sense of song selection?!
It's hard to say how well these songs would perform on their own, but when they're put together on a stage, they're a perfect combination.

It's a perfect match; they're the most suitable couple for each other.

From the beginning until now, not a single minute has been wasted, nor has a single minute been boring!

Every song is so catchy, what's going on?

"Is Alex alright?" he asked his assistant directly.

"Um, he doesn't seem to be in good shape. He's been staring blankly at the broadcast from the lounge the whole time," the assistant said embarrassedly.

Grass!
The middle-aged man lowered his head and muttered a curse.

His worst fears, and what he previously thought was the least likely to happen, have come true!

Is this the level that China's best DJs and producers should be at?
Sure enough, the AI ​​wouldn't lie to him! And July didn't lie to him either!
Fortunately, one comforting thing is that although the two people in the lighting control area were a bit unreliable, turning on all the lights at once, it just so happened to match the music and create a perfect nighttime moment, which undoubtedly maximized the visual effect.

This put a lot of pressure on Alex, the official guest who came later.

Fortunately, the VJ area controlling the main stage was very restrained, at least they didn't put things around randomly. For example, they used the disposable fireworks on the top of the main stage for the opening.

The use of fire and small fireworks at the bottom was also very restrained; the smoke machine was barely used.

These are all things that need to be filled; every little bit used is one less available. If they don't control themselves, what awaits Alex is hell.

His condition was already bad, and the performance was two hours long. If he couldn't handle it, it would be two hours of hell.

Moreover, the probability of them not being able to keep up is quite high. At least, after watching this opening scene so far, they are already feeling uneasy.

And then, if all the stage effects that require resources are used up, he doesn't even want to think how much more unbearable it will become.

Fortunately, the VJs were very restrained. Those two young men were the most rational members of their team, and they were experienced VJs. With them in control of the stage, I believe they would try their best to leave a better stage for Alex to take over.

On stage, Xia Shen, who was completely absorbed in the performance, was unaware that many people were shocked by him. He looked down at the four CD players.

With twelve minutes left, aside from the three minutes he had specially reserved for the final bombshell, he also had nine minutes for the nighttime showdown.

At this point, for a proper DJ set, one CD player isn't enough; four need to be running. All the audio tracks need to be imported in advance and mixed together – that's how technical skill is demonstrated.

Next, when the live stream camera panned to him, that's when you could see his hands flying up and down on the device.

This is commonly known as the "disc player getting too hot to handle" or "disc player operation" stage.

Besides "High On Life", the other three machines connected to the same mixer displayed three other names.

"Five Hours," by Deorro, a musician from another world!

Astronomia, from the otherworld producer Vicetone/Tony Igy.

Edge

From Rezz.

The home ground has officially opened!
The continuous, wave-like sound surged into everyone's hearts. Combined with the dazzling lighting effects, Xia Shen completely changed everyone's perception of him and imprinted his image deeply in the minds of countless foreigners.

The climax lasted for seven minutes before it ended.

Logically, there should be nine minutes for the explosion, but he left two minutes for other purposes.

Xia Shen stopped the music for the first time, panting as he looked down at everyone.

The music stopped.

Because now is the time for revenge!
"Everyone, I have a few things to say today. Many of you who are visiting China for the first time may not know my name or my location. They call me the 'King of Local Hail'."

Xia Shen looked down at the new project file on the disc player.

Stubborn to the end!
You call me a tacky idiot, huh? You want to play tacky stuff, huh?

I'll let him go!
