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

Chapter 104 Bubbles in the Sunlight [35 Updates]

"Indeed, it's hilarious. Boxing on 'The Singer'? It just shows that Xia Shen lacks experience with large-scale music competitions like this. This kind of song might be okay for a live performance, but it's not suitable for a competition."

"It's already been sent, so let's look forward to Bai Jing and Liang Ziying's performances."

Everyone was skeptical of Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng's relationship.

So when it was their turn to introduce themselves, the live chat was filled with encouraging messages from fans of both sides.

Everyone is quietly cheering them on.

There were also a few sarcastic remarks.

In the current situation, everyone knows that all that's left is to keep going.

However, it must be said that the name of this duo is quite good.

Zhou Yumeng was the first to speak, introducing herself: "Hello everyone, we are!"

Xia Shen joined in, holding microphones and shouting in unison: "The Love Story of Shen Shen and Meng Meng!"

Then the comments section erupted with responses.

"The name is good. I have to say, it's quite fun to watch the couples on the show. But it's a pity that the young people lack experience. It's too late to change the song now. I guess the production team would have been prepared but wouldn't have allowed it. Let's try harder next time."

"Be more careful next time. It's a shame about the fun this husband-and-wife team had. Tsk."

"If it really doesn't work, you two shouldn't sing. Don't you like to do abstract things? Let Zhou Yumeng go up and do a few mambo notes. That way, even if she's eliminated, the netizens and fans will still have some fun."

Finally, the official competition began.

First up was Zhang Yuge, the prince of love songs, one of the Chinese contestants, followed by Liang Ziying, both of whom sang their signature songs, igniting a wave of enthusiasm from the audience.

This is a cherished memory of youth for countless Chinese listeners and fans!

When Angelina came on stage, she also sang her signature song.

The song started.

It really exploded.

After all, it's not that simple to find a few people in the world who haven't heard Angelina Jolie's songs.

However, in the first round, everyone used mostly the same songs from before, and the producers from the teams didn't get to use them.

After all, they only started to exert their strength when they began with a limited-theme competition format.

The appearance of several strong competitors, especially foreign ones, suddenly increased the pressure on many viewers.

There's no particular reason; it's just that the foreign players who came this year are far too intense.

Under normal circumstances, is there really anyone who can beat them?

Don't try to use the script again; that's disgusting. If you really want to fight someone, just fight honestly and that's it.

Win when you're supposed to win, lose when you're supposed to lose, it's nothing.

It wasn't until Zhou Yumeng came on stage.

The fans are now even more desperate.

After all, it was fine if the other big names hadn't spoken, but now that they had, and recalling what they'd heard in the past few days...

In particular, many people think of Tian Min's face, her smoky makeup, and Lolita fashion as soon as they close their eyes.

In this situation, what kind of work would you use to fight?
Especially during the pre-concert interviews, when Xia Shen was being interviewed by the producer in front of the camera.

"Mr. Xia Shen, is your plan to use a new original song in the first round?" the host asked.

"Correct."

Then Xia Shen, holding a microphone, sat in a chair facing the camera. In front of him was a billboard from a sponsor, which read his name, "Xia Shen SKYINDEEP," and he nodded.

"This is actually a very bold attempt. There will be some changes in the singing style, which will be different from the singing style that Zhou Yumeng usually uses."

"How so? Could you please explain this to us, Professor Xia Shen?" the host asked. "First of all, Zhou Yumeng's singing style leans more towards a light, functional style. This style is dominated by head voice and uses the sphenoid sinus and other vocal cords in a more posterior position, resulting in a more balanced sound and less wear and tear on the vocal cords."

This singing style is more suitable for singers with clean voices, as it better highlights their personal style and allows for smoother transitions between songs.

The host nodded: "Yes, Zhou Yumeng is indeed a rare singer with a very clean voice."

“So the song I’m presenting this time is somewhat different from this one,” Xia Shen continued. “We plan to use a heavy-action singing style.”

This singing style is more popular in Europe and America, and is used more there than in China. It involves a direct chest voice, emphasizing reverberation and resonance, with multiple vocal cords working together to create a powerful and impactful sound. It's also more suitable for live performances, as it has great power and high reverberation. Of course, this also puts more strain on the vocal cords.

The host nodded: "So, the work Zhou Yumeng is going to present this time requires a higher level of skill?"

“Yes, and the vocal range is quite wide.” Xia Shen nodded: “Of course, we adapted very well before the competition, and our performance was very smooth with no mistakes. We can only say that we brought out almost all of our strength this time. In the first round, we used our skills. Of course, the song itself was also good.”

At least in my personal opinion, it's a very good work and shouldn't disappoint the audience and fans. I can only say that facing so many senior artists, we will give it our all. Yes, that's right.

This concludes the interview.

This wasn't his first time facing an interview, and he seemed much more at ease than he was during the Golden Melody Awards.

At least he won't need Old Chen to teach him word by word what he should and shouldn't say, or how to be careful with the media, etc.

He is also growing and transforming into a more mature musician.

Of course, this interview was also being broadcast simultaneously.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious! They're even talking about heavy functionality here. I don't see anything heavy on functionality in their voice."

"It's just a Tang Dynasty song, yet he described it in a very eloquent way."

"To be honest, people with formal training are really different. They can make something out of anything. If I hadn't already heard the live broadcast clips, I might have been fooled."

"I have studied some of it, and I can say with certainty that the song has absolutely nothing to do with heavy machinery."

"But it's true, it's a waste to use Zhou Yumeng's pure voice, which is so good that God seems to have fed her, to sing these kinds of songs. It can only be said that Xia Shen might really ruin Zhou Yumeng's life this time."

"If it were a different producer, this wouldn't have happened. The young people are still too young."

"We overestimated Xia Shen's level before the competition."

"Actually, I was at the live broadcast. This song was suggested by the audience and they created it on the spot. It has nothing to do with the competition. What you see as the so-called live performance song selection is edited by someone with ulterior motives to deliberately mislead you."

"What's the point of saying all this now? How many people watched the live stream? Nobody listens to my debunking. I've been debunking for so long, and all I've said is that some people deliberately edited together the issues to mislead people. Nobody pays any attention to me! Those misleading videos and those videos from marketing accounts are too outrageous."

"Alright, stop struggling, just wait to die."

"."

Then, amidst the jeers of the audience and the mockery of other contestants' fans, Zhou Yumeng took the stage.

In the picture, Zhou Yumeng is wearing a white floor-length dress, her hair is styled in a high bun, and she is also wearing a necklace.

The makeup and styling were quite eye-catching.

First, the stage lights dimmed, and then the show's standard heartbeat sound effect began to play.

Then, just as everyone was about to hear the announcement, "The streets are packed with cars during rush hour, a long line of cars causing massive traffic jams,"...

Zhou Yumeng took a deep breath.

There was no boxing as people imagined, nor any electronic music.

Only when the drummer behind him struck four cymbals to set the rhythm did the pianist press the keys in his hand.

The recording included Zhou Yumeng's inhalation sound and a line of lyrics sung in a high G#3 tone with a mute tone.

"The bubbles in the sunlight are colorful."

At that moment, everyone was stunned.
