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

Chapter 131: Buying songs to dominate the charts?

Sister Hong rubbed her temples helplessly.

"Are you sure? You need to know that this is a joint event organized by the three major music academies of the Tang Dynasty. This is a concert that many senior figures in the music industry will attend. This is a regular grand event in the music education community of the Tang Dynasty. The graduates who are invited to perform as guest performers every year are all the best in the industry. Among them are quite a few of your rivals. Are you sure you want to waste such a good opportunity because of Ye Xian?"

Liu Bohan's forehead veins bulged, and after gritting his teeth for a long time, he finally said fiercely, "You choose a song for me!"

"Isn't Ye Xian the best songwriter? I'll challenge him to a fistfight this time!"

Sister Hong nodded, turned around and left Liu Bohan's room.

"Bang!"

Another cup was smashed, and I heard a low growl coming from behind me.

Sister Hong shook her head. If Liu Bohan had dared to continue refusing to share the stage with Ye Xian, she would have definitely asked the board of directors to replace the artist immediately.

Even though Liu Bohan is an artist who is about to enter the top tier.

Don't even mention that Ye Xian hasn't fully risen to prominence yet. Even if Ye Xian becomes a top-tier star, are you really going to give up an opportunity to appear in front of veteran singers for such a trivial matter?

You should know that was a concert broadcast live across the entire Tang Dynasty!

A qualification that countless people would kill for!

You only have the opportunity to participate because you have a wonderful aunt!

Now, for the sake of Ye Xian, you're going to give up?

How stupid are you?

How could I have chosen such a thing as you!

……

Kanye West was equally furious.

Since his release, Kanye has been keeping a close eye on Ye Xian's news every day. Seeing him getting better and better, he couldn't wait to devour him alive.

Having been in the industry for so many years, which celebrity hasn't been polite to me, afraid that I might say a few bad things about them?

Who knew they'd end up losing so badly? Many celebrity agents are now questioning the effectiveness of their online marketing teams.

Is this still available?

Therefore, as soon as the South China Conservatory of Music issued its statement, Kanye West immediately seized the opportunity and launched an online campaign.

[Thinking of money and thinking of people: Have you read the statement from the Central South Conservatory of Music? If that's the case, then Ye Xian being asked to leave is perfectly reasonable!]

[The Broken-Bone Earthworm: Your true colors have been revealed! Saying there's gossip to be had! I think it's shameful! If my child failed that many subjects, I'd break his legs!]

[Kneel down and call me brother: What kind of conspiracy could he possibly have? A student who fails courses and skips classes every day—I feel like nine times out of ten, his songs are bought! They're not his own creations at all. Think about it, does that make sense? A student who fails courses every day can write so many hit songs? How? Because he skips classes even more often than those students who don't fail?]

[The name is too long to fit here, could you please wrap it in a newline: Hmph, what do you mean one song a week? With your release volume, are other singers just freeloaders?]

……

Kanye and others are making baseless accusations, speculating that Ye Xian's ability to write so many great songs despite failing so many courses might be related to buying songs. They are spreading various doubts.

Many passersby, unaware of the situation, were swayed by the statement and felt that the school's decision to expel the student was clearly reasonable. This sparked a new round of heated discussion, with comments from passersby mixed with those from paid trolls.

[Peeing Three Feet Away in the Wind: Your parents had an accident, what does that have to do with the school? The school showing concern for you is out of a sense of duty; if they didn't, does that give you an excuse to fail courses and skip classes? You should know that you were a sophomore at the time, an adult!]

[Green Grassland Gang Leader: Today's students are so pampered, they have psychological problems at the drop of a hat. How serious can their problems be? With such a low tolerance, what future can they expect?]

[My wife's husband is so handsome: The song you wrote has quite the grand ambition. Why didn't you laugh at the world back then? Now you're complaining about your grievances!]

[When the chrysanthemums are in full bloom: There's nothing more to say. Even if you succeed now, so what? Being expelled will be a stain on your reputation for life!]

……

Ding Zhan and Sun Li keenly sensed that the online sentiment was shifting.

Ding Zhan saw everything Kanye and his team did clearly.

This is also the situation that Ding Zhan has been worried about, because the general public does not know the specifics. Once the official statement is released, the general public will assume that there is something wrong with you, which will cause Ye Xian to have a bad public image.

It's very difficult to change things later.

The problem is that he cannot release the evidence he has yet; the time is not right.

The school's statement was watertight; at most, you could accuse him of being unloved, but you wouldn't gain anything by retaliating.

The perpetrator of this incident has not yet surfaced, and the public cannot see it. Bringing it out directly will at most be insignificant and will not maximize the benefits.

This is just the beginning.

Therefore, Ding Zhan is still waiting.

At this moment, he and Sun Li calmly organized their fans to fight back. They had enough of these online trolls, because Ye Xian had his works to speak for themselves.

[Martial Arts Master: This is hilarious! You guys didn't even read this statement carefully. The whole thing is about Ye Xian's problems and Liu Fengying's opinions. What about the school? Doesn't the school bear any responsibility? Doesn't it have any problems at all? Lots of students fail courses and skip classes, why aren't they given a chance to retake the exam? This is clearly avoiding the real issues!]

[Nothing's more popular than Aunt Flo: Ye Xian's parents have just passed away. Can you imagine how devastating this is for a 20-year-old sophomore? The school just casually admits their mistake and that's it? They've ruined a student's life.]

[Foolish to the point of being adorable: Don't panic, everyone, things aren't that serious. I want to thank the Central South Conservatory of Music for expelling Ye Xian, otherwise we wouldn't be able to hear so many beautiful songs! What did the school teach him? It just proves that Ye Xian is actually better off without these immoral and heartless teachers!]

[“If you can’t tolerate small things, you’ll end up being incredibly cute: Buying songs? Buying songs to dominate the charts? Haha, do you really believe this kind of joke? It’s hilarious. You have so many good songs, would you really be willing to sell them to others? The copyright laws in the Tang Dynasty are so strict, show us the evidence! Moreover, Jiang Tian’s song was written and composed by Ye Xian on the spot in 10 minutes, and he applied for copyright certification on the spot!”]

[Cute Machine: I really want to buy songs too! Not to mention the top ten hits like "I Believe," "The Farthest Place I Can See," "A Person Like Me," "When," "Laughing at the World," "Take Me to Nightlife," and "Dear, That's Not Love," just give me a few songs like "Flying in the Sky" and "I Will Wait"! How much? I'll buy them! You know, those two songs have millions of views on their short videos!]

[Hilarious Auntie: Oh, right, there's also Dafei! Xian Ge's "Flying in the Sky" was also written and composed on the spot, completely silencing Dafei's rap. He didn't even need ten minutes; he wrote and composed the lyrics twice on the spot. You're telling me you bought the song? That's hilarious!]

……

The online trolls and the late-night snack group were locked in a fierce battle, each sticking to their own arguments. Director Dou had previously asked Ding Zhan to guide his fans, but the involvement of Kanye and his online trolls was unexpected. As a result, the school could no longer intervene and could only let the two sides continue their infighting.

Dafei, however, was dragged out and whipped for his corpse.

You were the one who dissed them on stage, and you're the one who got slapped in the face!

This can't be called acting, can it?

This can't be called plagiarism, can it?

Moreover, if you dare to say it's acting, Jiang Tian's fans will tear you apart.

Dafei, are you mentally prepared?
