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

Despite not having aired for a long time, Xia Shen's popularity has not declined, proving that he holds an irreplaceable position and is of great importance on Douyin and Kuaishou.

Gifts poured in like they were free, various special effects flooded the screen, and major brands were spending money like crazy to occupy the top three spots on the leaderboard.

Of course, Xia Shen wouldn't object to these brands' actions. After all, they've paid money to advertise at the top of the rankings, so it's understandable.

But Xia Shen is different from other streamers. He doesn't deliberately promote these brands or try to build relationships with them, and he doesn't say things like "please give more attention to the top three streamers."

After all, he is fundamentally different from those other live streamers. He is an artist, a public figure first and foremost, and a live streamer only secondarily.

This broadcast has nothing to do with the concert. After all, Live Aid's scale is such that it doesn't need any promotion at all.

In previous years, they may not have had much recognition in China. After all, Chinese people are more focused on local Chinese music, unless they are young people who are exposed to new cultures.

However, in recent years, thanks to Xia Shen's existence, Xia Shen has gradually spread his name internationally, brought his music to the international stage, and enabled the Chinese music scene to better connect with the international community. In addition, large-scale events from abroad are paying more and more attention to the Chinese market and are starting to hold events in China more and more frequently.

Therefore, Live Aid's influence and popularity in China are now quite high, and Xia Shen doesn't need to do any promotion at all.

In the live stream, Xia Shen sat in front of the camera and began interacting with the audience.

"We'll be there soon, in just a few days. Do you have any new songs prepared for this time?"

"There will definitely be new songs, after all, Xia Shen always releases something new at every live performance."

"I just don't know what song it is. Since it's a charity concert, it must fit the theme and then perform some old songs. I'm so curious."

"Or how about we play one of those songs now and hear it?"

"You mean you can't wait to hear Xia Shen sing for you live? No way."

Xia Shen chuckled as he looked at the comments: "Looks like we have quite a few new viewers in our live stream. In that case, I've decided to give you all some perks today, how about it?"

"!!!!!!"

"Holy crap!!! No!!!"

"Actually, I'm still really looking forward to it. I'm also eager to see what new tricks Xia Shen can come up with after all this time."

However, at the same time, in another live stream room on Douyin and Kuaishou...

This live stream room is quite popular, ranking among the top viewers on the entire Douyin and Kuaishou platform.

He was originally ranked first, with an absolute lead and a significant advantage over the second-place finisher.

However, since Xia Shen started airing, his ranking has dropped to second place, and his popularity has also fallen far behind, making it seem unlikely that he will surpass his previous ranking.

This made Ouyang Gou Dan feel extremely embarrassed.

Ouyang Gou Dan, with a bald head, a large stomach, and bizarre, abstract clothing, fits the typical image of today's short video bloggers, using outrageous looks to create attention and then using that to generate entertainment value.

As it turns out, he has been quite successful in this industry, whereas he wasn't like this just a few months ago.

Back then, he was a respectable nightclub DJ. Although he didn't earn a lot of money, he was still able to maintain a decent income.

Until recently, the real economy suffered a severe blow and the economy declined, making it harder for these people to make money. As a result, they flocked to the short video and live streaming platforms while unemployed.

It must be said that he is quite talented in this area, has a good head, and has done a pretty good job. He has been very successful and has accumulated a lot of fans in just a few months.

First and foremost is the content they produce. As domestic nightclub DJs, they are actually distinct from electronic music.

To put it bluntly, they're just a bunch of tacky hip-hop artists who play other people's songs and don't have the ability to produce their own music.

His approach to live streaming mainly revolves around two key elements: PK battles!

Let's play PvP!

They would connect with other streamers to engage in PK battles, and then deliberately cause trouble to create conflict and generate traffic.

This will create a good show effect and also stimulate the spending of the older men.

As for short videos, he produces some low-quality, amateurish clips.

Yes, it's just a clip, not even a single, and there are no difficulties in its production.

Generally, it involves using other people's music, their finished songs, extracting the vocal parts, then creating some very simple bass and drum rhythms, and then extracting some cheesy, upbeat melodies from other people's music.

Yes, that's right! Even the melody was copied from other cheesy pop shows, and it wasn't his own creation either.

Why bother thinking of something when there's something readily available? Wouldn't that be exhausting?
Even with AI, you still need to pay tens of dollars a month for a membership, so there's still an investment involved.

Why not just copy other people's stuff? Wouldn't that be easier and less troublesome? Besides, with this kind of lowbrow stuff, you don't have to worry about copyright infringement or other people coming after you.

After all, he never composed the complete piece; it was usually just a short segment of ten or twenty seconds.

And among these fragments, there are often not just one song stitched together, but several songs stitched together.

In this case, it would be difficult to define legally if a poem consists of no more than three paragraphs.

As for whether doing this will create any moral or other forms of oppression.

I can only say no, after all, it would be a fool not to make money if it's available.

Thanks to his extremely high output, he has risen to become the fifth most active user on Douyin and Kuaishou in the past few months, and now some people are starting to call him that.

He didn't think the title was bad; on the contrary, he was quite pleased with it.

He made the right choice with this track!
He'll become the king who can control the entire Douyin and Kuaishou borderline background music sooner or later!

As for Xia Shen?

Of course he knew.

However, he also secretly looked down on Xia Shen.

It's all just yesterday's news. On the internet these days, different people disappear and reappear every day. No one is irreplaceable.

Xia Shen has been sitting in this position for too long.

Now, Xia Shen hasn't had any works that have made it onto Douyin and Kuaishou's daily active user charts or challenge charts for a long time.

He is no longer the powerful figure on Douyin and Kuaishou who single-handedly supported half of the female streamers in the borderline contention field.

Now, he's the one who's frequently on the list!

"If you're going to be a celebrity, just be a celebrity. Why do you have to meddle in this Douyin and Kuaishou section? Can you even handle it?"

He scoffed inwardly.

However, seeing his popularity gradually dwindling and some viewers constantly fueling the fire in the comments, his thoughts began to stir. (End of Chapter)
