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

Chapter 29 Pink TV, but the countdown challenge

Xia Shen took this collaboration very seriously, and even watched a small portion of the sample footage of "The Legend of Immortals and Demons" after signing a confidentiality agreement.

Well, the filming quality is indeed very high. From the visuals to the various details and the cast, it's clear that a lot of money was spent on it to achieve this effect.

The actors were also very skilled and performed exceptionally well, truly capturing the grandeur of the fantasy world.

It's easy to imagine that after such a film is released, coupled with the strong promotion from investors and producers, it will definitely be a huge hit.

After watching the sample videos, it was further proven that Xia Shen's choice of songs was correct.

However, even if the film itself is of very high quality, we cannot be complacent and start thinking, "Oh, these songs from the soundtrack are bound to be a hit."

I can only say, not necessarily.

The performance-based agreement excludes the airing of the TV series itself and only counts the dissemination of the songs themselves.

That's where the difficulty comes in.

After all, only a minority of people would actively search for and listen to the background music of a movie or TV series. A movie or TV series may be very popular, and everyone has heard its background music.

But very few of them can truly make the audience listen to them repeatedly.

Even in this era, viewers may not have heard the opening and ending theme songs of a hit drama, because there are things like skipping the opening credits, and this is the choice of most people. They may watch the whole drama without knowing what the theme song and ending theme song sound like.

This time it's quite difficult.
In the following period of time, Xia Shen continued to repeat the same routine between two points, and the progress bar gradually accelerated.

They basically maintain a pace of one song every three to four days.

After all, it was Xia Shen who was the fastest at creating music, not anyone else. The production of a song wasn't just a matter for him and Zhou Yumeng.

There are also musicians, recording, tuning, mixing and other behind-the-scenes staff working together to create a final product.

It's already quite good that Xia Shen can maintain this speed.

Even though this speed cannot compare to when Xia Shen composed his own songs, it still left a series of behind-the-scenes staff at July Records dumbfounded.

To be honest, having been in the music industry for so many years and worked behind the scenes for so many years, they have seen plenty of high-volume and fast production, but they have never seen anything like this.

After all, as we all know, artistic creation is something that requires time and inspiration, and to produce good works, one must constantly refine them.

Such speeds can generally only be described with one word.

That is: a monster!

Because every time Xia Yuan presented a piece of work, its quality would astound them.

The level of completion is extremely high, and the artistry is equally high. There is absolutely no trace of it being rushed!

As for why it can't be works that have been created and accumulated over time, the reason is quite simple.

They watched as Xia Shen personally created these songs, every note, every part.

To be fair, even the original author cannot accurately reproduce their previous works on the spot at any time. They usually write them in advance and save them.

If someone really had that kind of memory, why would they bother writing songs or making music? Wouldn't that be like using a golden hoe to till the ground?
As they spent more time together and became closer, their respect for Xia Shen grew stronger.

Many believe that July Records may have struck gold this time, and perhaps we will see a new gold-medal producer emerge.

They expressed their high expectations for Xia Shen's future.

As time went on, they experienced such a shock almost every few days. They went from being shocked at the beginning to getting used to it, then to becoming numb, and finally, when Xia Shen played "Midnight Heading Towards Morning," they breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, even someone as powerful as a monster cannot produce masterpieces every time, nor can they maintain a perfect state at all times.

There will also be some rather poor works.

However, although one song has a flaw and isn't the best, it doesn't affect the overall integrity and quality of the album. Overall, in the eyes of professionals, it's definitely a rare masterpiece. The entire production process took about a month and a half.

Xia Shen's work is now completely finished. The next steps, such as post-production, will be handled by July Records. There is still one month left before the official broadcast date of the TV series.

So, what follows is Xia Shen's own business.

His solo EP album has been delayed for a long time. In today's internet world, a month and a half is an extremely long process, enough for an overnight internet celebrity or hot topic to fade away and be replaced.

To ensure the timely action is taken while the iron is hot, we cannot delay any longer.

Therefore, Xia Shen released his EP album immediately after returning to the company.

After a brief period of deep thought, he finally decided on the album title: "Shake Before You Listen".

Although nowadays many musicians choose to release their first EP under their own name, this has almost become a ritualistic act, as a way of hoping to pave a good foundation for their future.

But they don't even look at what Xia Shen is making.

He would never use his own name to name this kind of album; this was his last bit of stubbornness.

In addition, the entire album is in electronic music format, and electronic music itself is a kind of party music, which was created to make people party. It is also known as rock.

This Mix Tape, as its name suggests, reflects its overall nature.

In the studio, Xia Shen clicked the 'Publish' button and breathed a sigh of relief: "Done."

The release of this single will naturally be aided by powerful figures from the company.

With the previous successes under our belt, the company will invest even more this time.

In addition to contacting media companies, we also invested money on various platforms to buy promotion and promoters.

The release of Xia Shen's new album quickly spread.

On the other side, in the same familiar scene with the same familiar people, Xiao Zhongge turned on the pink TV platform once again.

During this period, he watched too many short videos on his Douyin and Kuaishou accounts that he considered mindless and low-IQ, and now he has basically ruined them. So, he returned to the platform he came from, the familiar pink TV.

"It's Bilibili that's suffering!" Xiao Zhongge sighed. "It's definitely much better than garbage apps like Douyin and Kuaishou."

At least there aren't so many low-quality historical videos here, and you can stay away from those disgusting so-called songs.

The mere existence of such a thing in his account is a desecration and an insult to his account!

I still need to use Bilibili to watch things that bring me joy and purify my soul.

For example, right now, he's watching the pink little TV.
