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

Chapter 139: A Battle That Was Not on the Same Level

Chapter 140: A battle on a completely different level.

Ye Xian didn't even listen to a single word of Liu Bohan's new song.

He followed his plan, selling goods, telling stories, and connecting with other viewers online before ending the broadcast and going to sleep.

Autumn's mother and Ding Zhan were the last to leave.

"Old Ding, is it any good or not?"

Just now, Qiu's mother acted extremely confidently in the live broadcast room, and she was not afraid of the haters and Liu Bohan's fans at all when she made veiled attacks.

After the broadcast ended, Qiu's mother couldn't help but feel a little worried.

This time, the opponents are not like Kanye West or Davey.

Ding Zhan frowned slightly: "I think Ye Xian is fine. The key now is that the other side has 30 million fans. Our meager numbers are simply not enough to make them struggle."

In front of Sun Li, he could feign confidence and a sense of impending victory, but in front of Qiu's mother, and between this old and new colleague, he couldn't help but reveal some worry.

"What should we do then?"

Autumn's mother grew anxious: "Isn't this your specialty? You can't let us down at this crucial moment."

As Ding Zhan walked, he pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with a good idea. The opponent was going head-to-head with him, and it was an overwhelming head-on confrontation. No matter how many techniques he used, it would be useless. The two sides were simply not on the same level.

"Perhaps we should learn from Ye Xian, keep a calm mindset, and in the face of this situation, retreat in order to advance, leaving ourselves enough buffer space while maintaining the chips for a counterattack after turning the tide."

"Everything depends on whether Ye Xian's new song the day after tomorrow is strong enough!"

Ding Zhan's gaze gradually hardened: "He has never let us down before, and he certainly won't let us down this time either. We should have faith in him."

Qiu's mother sighed and said, "I have confidence in his talent. This child has been very talented since he was a child, but he has never been very confident. His mother's biggest worry back then was that he would not be able to withstand the setbacks after entering society!"

So I don't want him to get involved in all this trouble; this child has suffered too much!

Ding Zhan gazed at the starry sky and remained silent for a long time.

……

The topic of Liu Bohan challenging Ye Xian continues to heat up, especially after he sang "Farewell" at the graduation season concert, which sparked a huge wave of hype from marketing accounts.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sister Hong is pulling the strings behind the scenes to get Liu Bohan into the public eye, increase his popularity, and help him break into the mainstream.

Kuaishou influencers and Weibo marketing accounts were celebrating almost simultaneously, because they could get tea money for promoting the new song and gossip about Liu Bohan challenging Ye Xian. Everyone was trying to capitalize on this huge trending topic.

Among all these short video marketing accounts, the only one who still firmly stands by Ye Xian's side is a very active music blogger.

"Hi everyone, this is Cat Bro! Surprisingly, no one paid me to write a song review this time. Does this mean I'm not popular anymore? Thumbs down!"

The hottest gossip in the entertainment industry recently is Liu Bohan's sudden challenge to Ye Xian.

On one side is a near-A-list celebrity with 3000 million fans.

On one side is Ye Xian, a rising star who has just surpassed 460 million followers.

On one side is a popular singer who has been famous for 5 years, and a triple threat in film, television and music.

On one side is a newcomer who, after only a month and a half since their debut, has topped the charts with 11 songs.

This epic battle between the two sides is something the entertainment industry hasn't seen in years. The problem is, Liu Bohan, a veteran singer, is challenging a newcomer who just debuted. This is a battle between two completely different levels. So, isn't this a bit too much...? You know what I mean.

……

Last time I said that Ye Xian being forced to quit would lead to some big news, and look, Cat Brother predicted it!

You said Liu Bohan has nothing to do with this, so why should I bring it up?

Huh? Sorry, I misspoke. Let me start again. Cat Bro, I never said this big scoop had anything to do with Liu Bohan. I never said it, absolutely never!

……

Oh, and by the way, the song "Youth" has been requisitioned by the Tang Dynasty royal family for what seems to be a commemorative documentary. Tsk tsk tsk, that's quite something... you know what I mean.

So, Brother Xian, did you arrange it for me when I mentioned wanting to eat at your barbecue restaurant last time? I heard your new book was published, could you save me a signed copy?

……

A fan asked me to comment on Liu Bohan's rendition of "Farewell" last night.

Um, Cat Bro has a bit of a stomachache and needs to poop.

We'll chat again next time. Remember to follow and like! I'm Cat Bro.

……

As soon as Cat Brother's video was released, the comments section was immediately flooded with messages from Han Family Army.

[Han Family's Strategist: Cat Bro, what do you mean? Other people can comment, but not our brother? And what are you saying in that sarcastic tone? Are you implying something about our Han Bro? I'll report you!]

[Winter Break Day 2: What kind of bullshit Cat Bro is this? All he does is spout off and criticize this and that! I've noticed that every short video you post lately is just sucking up to Ye Xian. Are you just trying to make easy money?]

[My favorite Han: This kind of marketing account is just getting paid to write articles; they have absolutely no bottom line. Sisters, report them!]

[Handong: Pshaw! Why don't you comment on Leslie Cheung's "Farewell"? Didn't you see the high praise from music industry veterans for this song?]

……

This wasn't the first time Cat Bro had been flooded with comments from celebrity fans. He deeply understood the adage that being famous for being infamous is also a form of fame. He ignored all comments and didn't reply to any of them. Instead, he went straight to Ye Xian's Kuaishou account to see when Ye Xian's graduation song would be released.

Looking at Weibo, Ye Xian's response was that he would release the song according to the normal song release plan, which meant that the new song would be released at 17:00 on the 8th. It was only the 7th now. After refreshing for half a day, he confirmed that there would be no new song released today. He was about to turn off his phone and go to sleep when he suddenly saw a private message pop up from an account he was following.

"Hello, Cat Brother, I'm Ding Zhan, Ye Xian's agent. Ye Xian sincerely invites you to join his fireside chat livestream tomorrow. Would that be convenient for you?"

Cat Bro immediately perked up, laughing heartily as he replied instantly: "Convenient, absolutely convenient, I'll book the tickets right away!"

My God, what's going on?

Brother Xian invited me to a fireside chat!

Holy crap, that's celebrity treatment!

My cat brother has finally made it big?

In the past, when I did celebrity news, I would at most charge a tea fee, and very few celebrities would invite me to visit.

I've been posting music reviews for Ye Xian lately mainly because I love his songs. I listen to every single one of his songs on repeat, and the more I listen, the more I feel that this blogger is worth following!

What kind of rubbish are those young idols and top stars singing these days? Even the song Liu Bohan sang last night can only be considered a mediocre work.

What lyrics by a famous lyricist from the Tang Dynasty, what music by a top-notch composition team from the Tang Dynasty? The stuff they produced isn't much better than a fast-paced hit song.

It's just a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Each of Ye Xian's released songs has a different style, and all of them have the potential to become classics.

The only thing missing is perhaps a little bit of time.

It takes a long time for gold to gradually shine.

……

Ding Zhan replied instantly: "Okay, please send me the flight number after you book your ticket, and I will pick you up. We will cover all your expenses."

"No need, no need! I'm a loyal fan of Brother Xian! I can afford this little bit of money."

Cat Bro doesn't care about this small amount of money. He makes a living by digging up celebrity gossip, posting celebrity schedules, and commenting on celebrity music. Although he doesn't earn a lot, he lives quite comfortably.

"Please don't be so polite. You are the first media friend Ye Xian has invited. We have noticed that you have been craving Ye Xian's cooking. In addition, we have also reserved a signed copy of the simplified version of Dream of the Red Chamber for you. This time, we will definitely make you leave satisfied."

Looking at Ding Zhan's reply, Cat Brother felt as if he had been blessed by Lady Luck.

Am I dreaming?

Most importantly, I will definitely be the first fan to hear Ye Xian's new song live!

Who was the last person to enjoy this treatment?

Jiang Tian!

What about the one before that?

Big Fly!

And the one before that?

Holy crap, it's Li Xin and Duan Fei, those two old bastards!

And not just once!

Cat Bro suddenly felt like he wasn't so appealing anymore.
