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

Chapter 85 As darkness fell, the explosion began.

The main stage is now a scene of bustling noise and chaos.

The audience area, which can accommodate 100,000 people, seemed to have some empty seats at the beginning of the show. Although there were still many people, there were still empty spaces.

But now, the crowd is so dense that there seems to be no space left, and even more flags are being waved.

On stage, Song Anqi was singing below the main stage and did not go up to the DJ booth. The live singing, combined with Xia Shen's electronic music, spread throughout the venue.

"I've been running through the jungle"

I kept running through the jungle.

"I've been running with the wolves"

I traveled with the wolf pack.

"To get to you, to get to you,."

Actually, Xia Shen had a reason for choosing this song.

Firstly, the songs must be able to connect and the key must be compatible. Normally, when one song connects to another, if the key is fixed, the range of choices will be greatly narrowed. It's not that you can choose whichever song you want; you can only choose from songs with a suitable key.

Secondly, the song is well-produced and of high quality, with a catchy and simple melody that is easy to remember. It is perfect for a formal stage, especially since the artist is not working alone and has the support of large corporations. Such high-quality music is worth showcasing.

And it suits Song Anqi very well.

Although Song Anqi has always been a superstar, she actually experienced a decade of decline in the middle of her career.

Between 2010 and 2020, she suffered from a serious illness, lupus, and had a dispute with her former management company, plunging her into the lowest point of her life overnight.

She didn't release any new works, which led to her fading from the public eye. As a new generation surpassed the old, people stopped paying attention to her.

Subsequently, her husband, who was not in the entertainment industry and had been with her for many years, also passed away due to a serious illness.

Finally, after she had managed to recover and stabilize her condition, she signed with a new company and returned to the music scene.

At that time, she herself thought she was past her prime, and even after holding a mediocre concert, she wasn't confident that she could sell out all the tickets.

But she couldn't stay away from making a comeback; she was in dire straits and penniless.

To everyone's surprise, the concert was completely sold out!

She broke down in tears during the concert.

The song, when translated directly into Chinese, means "wolf."

The lyrics also perfectly match Song Anqi's experiences, conveying an uplifting mood.

Thirdly, it is more in line with the current atmosphere and state of the scene.

It's not dark yet, so the stage effects can't be fully showcased during the day. If you want to collaborate with a singer and have them perform live, now is the perfect time, as the singer can also interact with the audience.

If you wait until the atmosphere is completely heated up and the crowd is absolutely electric before letting a singer go up, unless it's a really amazing song that you're confident you can make everyone listen to you in complete silence, it's unlikely to work.

Or it could be a bombshell that's both explosive and memorable, the kind of bombshell that guarantees a massive hit.

Otherwise, no matter what you sing, Ghost Birds will just think you're blasting something and then suddenly let out a pile of shit, and they'll be very unhappy because they didn't continue blasting.

Managing emotions has always been a difficult aspect, and this applies to music as well.

Right now, both songs started playing in the middle and haven't finished yet, and a tenth of the time has already passed. There's really no time to waste on them.

So after singing a bit, Song Anqi put down the microphone, but instead of leaving the stage, she interacted with the audience to the beat of the music.

Xia Shen began the third song, and a new melody began.

Similarly, the tone can match that of "Wolves".

However, this song actually clashes with the opening track, "Intro".

This is a gradual process.

Xia Shen looked down at the engineering documents for the first track.

The Nights

A music producer named Avicii from another world.

During the performance, the slightly upbeat rhythmic guitar strumming pattern, combined with Xia Shen's beat-matching, was integrated with the intro drum beats of "Wolves".

A new figure appeared below the main stage, waving and high-fiving the audience at close range.

Some of the audience members with black hair and yellow skin instantly erupted in cheers.

"Aaaaaaah, Chicken Bro!!!" "Cai Zhiyin!!!"

The voice that appeared was none other than Cai Zhiyin, the vocalist of Xia Shen's current song.

(I won't post any pictures or videos of Kun Kun. I do have footage of him as a guest at an electronic music festival, but I don't dare edit it. I'm afraid of getting sick from watching videos.)
Cai Zhiyin raised the microphone: "Hello, everyone in the audience?"

The audience's answers were also quite abstract.

A large group of Chinese people immediately responded: "Hey, what are you doing?"

This kind of spectacle is even more explosive than Song Anqi's.

This left the foreigners, who were completely baffled, bewildered. They quickly pulled over the Chinese audience members next to them and asked, "Who is this?"

Then Chinese viewers would reply: "The current number one emperor in China is someone who can make even the official media give way!"

After saying that, he left a group of foreigners completely bewildered.

Although I don't understand it, it sounds impressive, but it seems very powerful.

Who cares? Anyway, the producers/DJs who started this show were awesome, they were really enjoying themselves, and now they're just waiting for it to get completely dark so they can really go wild.

And most importantly, this Xia Shen, his name sounds familiar, and his voice sounds familiar too, I don't know where I've heard it before.

This is completely different from the bewildered state of most Chinese musicians, which gives them a sense of familiarity.

Therefore, they are particularly accommodating and their emotions are more easily stirred.

And Cai Zhiyin began to sing.

"One day my father he told me,."

(That's what my father said to me that day)
"Son, don't let it slip away"

(Children, don't let time go to waste)
Since no one would sing along to the new song, Xia Shen created the effect of a massive sing-along directly in the song.

I have to say, it was quite catchy, especially with Cai Zhiyin's very standard English singing and speaking.

This song is different from "Deadman"; it uses a straightforward, plain-voice singing style.

Cai Zhiyin was still able to hold his own.

The atmosphere at the scene became even more lively.

Song Anqi and Cai Zhiyin also interacted with the audience.

This time, the main stage also used jet propulsion and a firework machine below for the first time.

After all, the sky was already starting to darken, and now the lights were beginning to shine through.

This made the atmosphere even more exciting.

Many people at the scene were actually quite confused.

Why hasn't the female singer left the stage yet, even though her own song time has ended?
It's important to know that at typical electronic music festivals, time is very limited; singers have to leave the stage after their performance and cannot go on the main stage.

Because the producers on stage are the main characters at the electronic music festival, going on the main stage requires their permission.

This demonstrates that music producers hold a very high status internationally.

They didn't have much time to wonder, and when the melody of the third song came together, they both picked up the microphone.

On stage, Xia Shen looked at the audience below and at the darkening sky.

It's almost 19:40 PM now, and a third of the time is almost gone. Given how quickly it gets dark in Shanghai, it will be completely dark by the time the next song is over!

This means that he's about to officially rock the venue, which is what people remember as the real DJing segment.

At that time, the singer will be removed from the competition, and the competition will officially enter the next stage.

Xia Shen's idea was to start by creating a sensation with this song!

He glanced down at the attached project documents.

God is a girl

Artists from another world, W&W, and Groove Coverage
At the same time, Alex, who is currently the last of the top 100 DJs and ranked 100th, arrived at the scene unhurriedly, surrounded by bodyguards.

He appeared very relaxed.

"I wonder how far along the Chinese producer who opened the show for me is. I hope he can generate buzz for my show so I don't have to worry too much, haha."
