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

Chapter 107 Is this streamer rushing to finish his homework?

Ye Xian was somewhat puzzled, not understanding why the people in the media section were taking pictures of him so frantically. However, he knew he couldn't stay any longer. He walked to the wall with the logos of the sponsoring brands, took the pen from the hostess, and casually drew a leaf symbol that nobody recognized on the wall.

When signing the brand logo wall, you absolutely must not sign your own name, otherwise you will definitely suffer a great loss later. This was something Ding Zhan had told him in advance. Ye Xian didn't understand, but he obeyed.

After casually striking a couple of poses and taking a few photos, Ye Xian walked into the inner area.

The stadium, which can hold 30,000 people, has begun to fill its seats, and from a distance, at least half of the seats are already occupied.

……

The "108 Provinces of the Tang Dynasty Quick Music Tour" series of events aims to promote local live streamers and select the "Quick Music Stars," "Hidden Talents," "Hidden Gems," and "Creative Masters" of each province in the previous year. Viewers can not only fully experience the development and changes of the industry over the past year through various annual honors, but also take this opportunity to get to know various hidden gems and behind-the-scenes practitioners who seem to be unknown but have made contributions to the cultural and entertainment industry.

Such a grand event will first be held in each of the 108 provinces, followed by the "Kuaishou Star Night," which will select national-level "Kuaishou Stars" and "Hidden Gem Artists"...

The Haizhou tour is essentially the final leg of the tour across all 3 provinces, while events are being held in remote provinces of the Tang Dynasty. "Quick Sound Star Night" will be held in mid-March.

Such offline events are neither particularly large nor small.

If one show attracts 30,000 people, then 108 shows would be over 3 million people. It may not seem like much, but which audience member wouldn't take photos, post them on social media, or share them on Kuaishou (a Chinese short video platform)?

Each viewer's short video must get at least 500-1000 views. If you exclude cross-acquaintances, that's a reach of 10-15 billion. Moreover, Kuaishou (the platform) gives these kinds of short videos a weight bonus.

In addition, each participating streamer has over a million followers, and each event is also officially broadcast live.

What was the population of the Tang Dynasty? 48 billion.

How many daily active users does Kuaiyin have? 28 billion!

Basically, this series of events covered all Kuaiyin users across the country.

Therefore, this series of events is Kuaiyin's most lucrative offline event and also the most sought-after offline event by celebrities.

Basically, any celebrity who has the time will try to participate.

However, the reason why the event is considered small is that people are prone to visual fatigue. Moreover, with so many streamers, people from other places will only stay if they see a streamer they like. Otherwise, they generally won't pay much attention.

……

Ye Xian was guided by staff to sit down in the performance guest section.

Ding Zhan was able to connect him with such an event partly because of his relationship with Director Wu, and partly because several of his songs are currently very popular.

Kuaishou (a Chinese music streaming platform) has some rules that are different from those in the entertainment industry.

Let the data speak for itself.

If you're popular, you're popular; if you're not popular, you're not popular.

Regardless of your appearance or background, in the era of short videos, you must have outstanding works to speak for yourself. Only after you have solid data will we consider whether your appearance and other external conditions are suitable for performing on stage.

It's not that entertainment industry figures and big-name investors didn't try to recruit people, but internet companies are more focused on actual results.

This is why, no matter how many tricks Liu Bohan used, he still couldn't completely surround and intercept Ye Xian.

……

After three hours on the red carpet, Ye Xian finally understood the importance of status.

If I were a big shot, I could simply wait until the very last minute to enter the venue.

As a result, I was the first one to walk the red carpet. It was cool, but after that coolness came a long and painful wait. The most important thing was that I couldn't play on my phone all the time because the anchors inside the venue were constantly scanning the camera.

Eight teeth, always ready to be out in business.

Fortunately, Ye Xian is a good time manager.

Before entering the venue, I had already asked Qian Duoduo to bring me my laptop.

Yes, Ye Xian, the master of time management, has started updating the original version of "Dream of the Red Chamber".

The simplified version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" was written to open up the market. The true classic is still the original version of "Dream of the Red Chamber," but the original version has too many words, so Ye Xian is now writing in his spare time.

Now his memory is getting stronger and stronger, and he can still vividly recall many of the books he read as a child in this other world, which makes him type very quickly.

The otherworldly tentacle monster updates 20,000 to 30,000 words a day, which Ye Xian can't match, but he can still easily write more than 10,000 words a day.

So, during the boring wait for the show to start, surrounded by a group of million-follower streamers who maintained their smiles and expressions, under the strange gazes of many streamers, and under the curious cameras of the streamers outside, the show was a great success.

Ye Xian buried himself in typing furiously.

……

Director Wu was watching the monitor at that moment. The audience seats, guest seats, anchor seats, stage, big screen... everything was in good order under each camera lens, which made him very gratified.

Lao Tzu's control over the situation is that powerful.

Until he saw Ye Xian engrossed in writing.

"What is that little rascal doing!"

Director Wu pointed at the camera, about to scold the little guy for not knowing how to fight for his own spotlight, wasting such a handsome face, but then he thought about it and put his finger down.

What kind of stage is this?

The stage of fast sound!

No need to follow the rules!

If everyone behaves the same way as on a regular performance stage, then there's nothing new or special about it.

The "Tang Dynasty 108 Provinces Quick Music Tour" series of events has been held for several sessions, and the event venues in many provinces are being broadcast live at the same time.

How to break out of the niche is the biggest headache for directors in each region.

You go on a stand-up comedy show, I'll go on a crosstalk show.

You play one song, I'll play ten.

You hire a pop star, I'll hire a comedian.

……

Everyone has become so competitive that they've started to homogenize.

But there's no way around it; art forms are limited in variety, and only a few are truly recognized by the public.

"Internal broadcaster, focus your attention on Ye Xian, who's typing!"

After thinking about it, Director Wu felt it was worth a try to see if this would become a small topic of conversation.

Damn it, if I can't come up with anything new on my show, I'll use some underhanded tricks on you.

Director Wu picked up the walkie-talkie to instruct the on-site anchor to focus on Ye Xian, while simultaneously opening his phone and accessing the official live stream.

[Master, can I borrow a kiss?: What is this streamer doing? Finishing homework?]

[Lacking money in the Five Elements: Are you writing a thesis? The event is about to start, and you're still typing?]

[This old monk only flirts with flowers, not grass: By the way, won't the director kick me out if I'm rushing to finish my assignment on set?]

[Nowhere to Place My Egg: I didn't want to read this, but how come this writer is so good at this?]

……

[My wife's husband is so handsome: Is this just attention-seeking?]

[Archaeology expert sends a 5-year-old beauty: This is Brother Xian! He sings!]

[Steel pole buttocks: This guy is so handsome, I really want to hug him and give him a good squeeze.]

[Zai Nao: I love this hand speed! Are you single, sir? Got a date tonight?]

……

Seeing the rapidly flashing comments, Director Wu felt reassured and instructed the other director, "Wait, as soon as the camera pans to Ye Xian typing, switch to the main screen."

The director, sweating profusely, said, "Director, isn't this a bit too weird? You cut in while someone's singing? You cut in while someone's being sentimental?"

Director Wu gritted his teeth; whether he could break out of the niche depended on this move.

"cut!"

"Cut it now, it'll really stir up a lot of discussion! Guide the conversation, make people say this kid looks down on the performers on stage!"

"Have the on-site anchor interview him before the show starts to find out what he's doing!"

"Also, move his song to the program before the closing act, so he can't be on it so early!"

"This kid's songs are popular, but he himself isn't. Tonight, we'll make him famous too!"

"Let's get this buzz going!"

P.S.: Today's Recap

Haizhou aged liquor inventory: 7486 bottles.

The update time is delayed by 20 minutes because there is a slight delay in system statistics, which affects subscription data. I'm testing it, and if it works correctly, I'll update at this time from now on.
