I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 102 You need support! You idiot!

The next morning.

Ye Xian and Ding Zhan drove their little six-inch car to Haizhou Stadium early in the morning.

On the way, Ding Zhan instructed Ye Xian: "We have now been blocked by Liu Bohan through various means, so it is difficult to take the right path. Therefore, the only activities we can attend are those organized by major internet companies."

"This official Kuaiyin event, the 'Journey to Haizhou in the 108 Provinces of the Tang Dynasty,' is our opportunity! Such events are also very beneficial for account growth."

"Several of your songs have entered the hot charts, and some have even entered the top ten. Kuaiyin officials are very willing to promote bloggers like you. So this time we met with the director and music director of the Haizhou trip program to go through the formalities and confirm your performance time."

Ye Xian nodded and smiled, "Actually, it's fine if I don't participate. I don't plan to continue in the entertainment industry, but for the sake of our account, we still have to participate in programs like this."

There's just one thing: the name of this event is awful!

Ding Zhan knew this guy very well; he was very diligent in studying and working out, but getting him to do business was extremely difficult.

However, Ye Xian also has a weakness, which is his live streaming room. He usually takes any issues related to the live streaming room very seriously.

Therefore, whenever Ding Zhan and Ye Xian discussed matters, they would constantly mention account numbers.

Ye Xianming knew that he sometimes argued unreasonably, but he also knew that he would not harm him, so he usually did not refuse.

The two of them gradually began to develop a tacit understanding.

The two chatted as they made their way to Haizhou Stadium.

Upon arrival, the huge stadium was bustling with activity, with hundreds of workers busy setting up scaffolding, building the stage, and installing equipment.

Drones frequently take to the air and patrol back and forth.

People are constantly walking the T-shaped stage, either walking the model's gait or positioning themselves.

It's clear that the programs and performers being rehearsed ahead of time are all confirmed.

Ye Xian, a nobody with just over 80 followers, is basically no match for these big internet celebrities.

Ding Zhan led Ye Xian through the crowd and soon arrived in front of a man with a large beard.

"Director Wu, I've brought Ye Xian with me!"

The bearded man was sitting in a chair watching the monitor. Hearing this, he looked up and Ye Xian was almost startled when he saw his imposing figure.

This Director Wu has small eyes, a full beard, and a long mustache. If you don't look closely, you might mistake him for a reincarnated black bear spirit.

"Old Ding! You've finally seen the real deal! You've found a real gem!"

Director Wu, possessing the boldness and forthrightness characteristic of men from Hebei and the three northern provinces, burst into laughter upon seeing Ding Zhan: "I heard someone in the industry is trying to sabotage you guys! Haha, don't they realize what era we live in? Can they control those awards, or the activities of big companies like ours? Even the local management departments have to give the green light to the activities of big companies!"

Ding Zhan shook his head and smiled wryly, "We didn't want to either, but who knew they'd be so stingy? Let's not talk about that anymore. Should Ye Xian go up and test the waters?"

"Definitely! I need to see just how good this rising star who's currently dominating the trending charts really is."

Director Wu looked Ye Xian up and down and laughed, "You look rather clean-cut, female audiences will definitely like that! Even if you don't sing well, it's okay, I have a million-dollar auto-tuning engineer here!"

Ye Xian was both amused and exasperated; this big-bearded man was far too honest.

However, Ye Xian still quickly greeted the other party, since he depended on the other party for his livelihood, and even though Ding Zhan was very familiar with him, he still had to maintain the proper respect.

Otherwise, if they just randomly shoot a few long shots of themselves during their performance, then their trip to the event would have been for nothing.

Both the backing track and the original vocals were copied for each other. The backing track was sung live with the microphone on, and the original vocals were given as a precaution. If lip-syncing was necessary, the director wouldn't consult you.

Whether to use full live or partial live depends on the rehearsal results.

Holding a guitar, Ye Xian walked up the temporary steps to the stage. He first followed the director's instructions to walk around the stage, find his position, and strike a pose. Only after his position and movements were all in place did Ye Xian begin to sing.

During the audition, Ye Xian basically only sang half a song before the director interrupted him and asked him to move around to different positions. The director then told him in his earphones where the cameras and audience members he needed to see were located.

Rehearsing on stage is actually more tiring than the actual performance, because a perfect stage presentation requires the support of many people.

Sound control team, lighting team, stage design team, costume and makeup team...

For each of these individuals, a designated person needs to be present. The director will tailor the lighting, background, stage design, costumes, and makeup to the specific needs of each performer's program.

After a performance, someone will immediately compile all the agreed-upon procedures into modules, which can be called up at any time during the performance.

Ye Xian from Blue Star has a lot of stage performance experience, but those were all small stages, such as report performances and Haizhou Spring Festival Gala. Ye Xian has never experienced these in this other world. This is his first time stepping onto the stage, and even though it is just a rehearsal, he is inevitably a little nervous.

So from beginning to end, he followed the director's instructions very seriously, only letting loose and showing off his voice during the audition.

After stepping off the stage, Director Wu instructed Ding Zhan, who was standing beside him, "We'll handle his styling later. You guys prepare your own costumes. While the stage for 'Quick Music' isn't too formal, don't come here in ripped jeans! This is going to be broadcast live online!"

"He was a little nervous when he went on stage just now. There's a joint rehearsal this afternoon, so please have him come over to familiarize himself with the stage. There's also a dress rehearsal tomorrow morning, so he definitely needs to come."

After two rehearsals, I'll decide whether to give him a full live performance or a semi-live performance. As for which song will ultimately be performed, I'll decide after the rehearsals are over.

Ding Zhan and Ye Xian nodded quickly, indicating that they would definitely be there.

"There will be no event photos or promotion on Weibo for this event. It will only be promoted on the Kuaiyin platform. Tonight at 20:00 PM and tomorrow at 18:00 PM, please post two previews on your own accounts, including the official announcement image, as required by the program team!"

With so many influential figures with millions or tens of millions of followers, and several top influencers with hundreds of millions of followers simultaneously posting short videos, the effect is far superior to promoting on Weibo!

"The official live broadcast time tomorrow night is 20:00, but the red carpet will start at 17:00, so you must be done with your makeup before 16:00 tomorrow afternoon. Special guests and big V's from all over Haizhou will walk the red carpet. Given Ye Xian's status, I estimate he will be among the first three. I can't give you a definite answer, because it's not under my control."

You don't need to worry about this. This isn't a national event; it's a small one. It doesn't matter what place you arrive at.

Ding Zhan laughed and said, "It's alright, we all know the rules in this industry. Whoever is less famous goes first, and whoever is more famous goes last. Ye Xian doesn't even have a million fans yet, so he'll go in whatever order he's in line!"

Director Wu raised his thick finger and pointed at Ding Zhan: "You old Ding, you're as capable as a monkey. If this were a music awards ceremony, would you try to compete with me for the order of the red carpet?"

Ding Zhan smiled but remained silent.

Ye Xian pretended to smile foolishly.

Well, I didn't understand these things to begin with.

I'm just a naive and innocent person.

……

The announcement that Ye Xian would be participating in Kuaiyin's "108 Provinces - Haizhou Trip" was immediately known to all the late-night snackers.

Sun Li called first: "My dear boss, you're going to such a big event, why didn't you let us know beforehand? Do you even remember you have a fan club?"

Ye Xian replied rather awkwardly, "It was only confirmed this morning. I've been rehearsing at the venue all day. How was I supposed to know Uncle Ding hadn't informed you?"

In reality, Ding Zhan was busy coordinating costumes and makeup, and asked Ye Xian to send a message to Sun Li to warm things up. Ye Xian was so focused on how to perform on stage that he forgot.

Sun Li: "Brilliant! I'm speechless at being blamed like that!"

Ye Xian knew he should discuss this with his fan leader, so he quickly reassured him, "Next time you come to Haizhou, I'll make you my secret seafood porridge."

"real?"

Sun Li's voice suddenly rose: "You said it yourself! I'm already in Haizhou!"

"What?"

Ye Xian was also startled: "What are you doing here?"

"That's a strange thing to say!"

Sun Li's loud voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You're a star now! You need support! You idiot!"
