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

Chapter 19 Speaking in unison

Chapter 19 Speaking in unison
"The root of all evil!!"

"Hahaha, steamed German-style mud duck!"

"You're joining too? Aren't you a local? Do you even need to join? With the stuff you've written, don't you know more about this damn Douyin and Kuaishou platform than most people?"

"It's because of people like you that the music scene has become such a mess."

"Tang people compose Tang songs."

“Don’t pay attention to them, blogger. I think your songs are pretty good and they help me relax. In this day and age, why take things so seriously? Everything has its reason for existing. I just like listening to things that don’t require me to think and are purely relaxing.”

"To be honest, in the past, I would have joined you in despising bloggers and those 'country bumpkins.' I would have looked down on those things. But now? I am the epitome of a 'country bumpkin'! So what if I'm a 'country bumpkin'? Doesn't that sound appealing?"

"Actually, sometimes you can't blame the bloggers. Because, as you can see, that's how the market economy works. You can see a lot of things from the data. You don't like it, so you come out to criticize, but most people are actually willing to accept it or even like it. These are the silent majority."

"It is indeed the market economy that determines the profession. If you pay more attention to bloggers, you should not find that the blogger's first song is actually the original version of 'Dried Silence,' called 'Give Me a Song's Time.' This song is very nice, but it doesn't have much data and doesn't make much money."

Even I have to admit that if it weren't for those two incredibly catchy songs, I wouldn't have gotten to know the blogger and then been exposed to his previous works.

People need to make a living; the prerequisite for creating high-quality products is to first fill your stomach.

"So, did you write Zhou Yumeng's song 'What the World Gave Me'? Are you and Xia Shen the same person?"

"I think it's definitely not."

"It's still very possible. Don't jump to conclusions so easily. After all, judging from the quality of the blogger's first song, he could indeed write that kind of song."

"."

After Xia Shen settled in, he quickly attracted a wave of attention.

After all, the two songs related to him are currently quite popular, which naturally brings a wave of traffic.

His comments section, in fact, reflects his reputation online.

In other words, it's a mixed bag of praise and criticism.

There is a group of people who hate him to the extreme and speak ill of him and his songs, but there is also a group of people who defend him, and there are actually some fans.

What's most remarkable is that there's a group of relatively clear-headed and thoughtful people who are actually able to analyze some of the real-world factors, and their analysis is quite accurate.

These things made Xia Shen feel somewhat gratified.

He originally thought he should face a barrage of criticism, and he was prepared for it.

But surprisingly, there was still a group of people who supported him.

He liked each and every one of his fans' posts and replied with a thank you.

Of course, he didn't miss any of the harsh words either, and he liked them all, mainly advocating for fair treatment.

You're kidding, there's no way you can break through the defense, right?
To reiterate, he was prepared from the moment he took that step.

So what if he gets scolded? He's already got W.

Netizens reaped the pleasure of criticizing him, while he gained a three-and-a-half-story villa built for his family and fragments of the Cullinan.

Both sides have a bright future.

On the first day, the account gained over 5 followers, and the first video received a million views and 10 likes.

So now, we should think about the next move.

"Let's release an album instead."

After careful consideration, Xia Shen decided on a general direction.

Releasing a full album has more advantages than releasing a single, and releasing more songs at once allows you to cast a wider net and catch more fish.

Whether a song becomes a hit is uncertain. Even with the same quality, not every song can achieve the same level of popularity. Market popularity is somewhat of a mystery, involving a certain degree of luck and probability. It just means that if you hit the right market pattern, you have a safety net; you don't need to worry about the basic data, and the chances of it becoming a hit are much higher.

With more songs, the chances of a hit song are also greater.

Previously, when making singles, the only problem was a lack of resources and funding.

At that time, all his savings were only enough to make one song, "Give Me a Song's Time".

They didn't even have the money to shoot a music video.

Things are different now. He signed a cooperation contract with the visual effects company, and the company will cover the cost of producing the song, so he doesn't need to worry about so much.

At this point, coupled with his existing popularity, releasing an album was the best option.

Xia Shen has always been the kind of person who acts on his impulses, and once he made up his mind, he quickly began preparations.

Ultimately, by filtering through the memory database of another world in his mind, he spent a day deciding on the list of singles to be made.

There are four songs in total, all included in one EP album.

An EP album is a mini-album, which usually contains only a few songs, unlike a full-length LP album which has more than a dozen songs.

It still uses the same old EDM, or DJ, style, which is a way of striking while the iron is hot.

Anyway, the main idea is to just sit back and make easy money; let's get W in our hands first!
However, at least he carefully selects his songs; although they may be a bit corny and upbeat, they're not corny to the extreme.

It can even be very catchy and fits the trend.

The five songs are: "Mandarin Duck Play DJ Version", "Falling into the Abyss DJ Version", "Don't Let Love Fall", and "Midnight Heading to Morning DJ Version".
Perhaps someone reading this will ask, "Isn't this just four songs? Where did the five come from?"
Indeed, the fifth poem is somewhat different from the previous four.

This fifth song is titled "Still".

There is no DJ version because this song is different from the previous four; it's a very proper electronic music track.

This song comes from a completely unfamiliar world, a single created by a musician named panta.q Guo Qu in collaboration with the vocalist, singer Julia Wu Zhuoyuan.

A very pure electronic music piece, in the style of Future bass, a genre of electronic music.

Unlike the semi-house music that is popular in China, electronic music is divided into many different sub-styles, each with its own distinct characteristics.

This song is on a completely different level in terms of production difficulty and quality compared to the previous four.

Xia Shen chose to include this song in his album for a very simple reason.

That is, he still wants to try, to try to do something good.

The first four songs represent his compromise with life and the market.

The following song, "Still," represents his last stand for quality music and the market; it's like he's just testing the waters.

This is Xia Shen's idea.

At the same time, he thought for a moment and then took out his phone.

Because these songs involve female vocal performances.

He knows very few female singers.

The first person he thought of was...
However, at the very moment he dialed the number, he uttered those words.
"Zhou Zhou, can you do me a favor?"

"You just happened to call. Can you do me a favor?"

in unison.
