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

Chapter 159 My son has 840 million concubines! (Thanks to "Red Cloud Fat Fox" for the generous donation)

July 18, 20:00.

The capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Royal Stadium.

The venue, which can accommodate 10 people, was packed to capacity.

If we were to say which concerts in the Tang Dynasty could compare to "Quick Music Star Night," it would probably be the concerts of top-tier superstars and A-list celebrities.

Even some top variety shows can't compare to the Quick Music Star Night.

There's nothing we can do about it; Kuaiyin boasts the highest daily active users in China.

Even a casual push can create a terrifying force.

However, the target audience for Starry Night is very limited: young people. Older people don't like to watch it.

The "Kuaishou Star Night" awards ceremony recognizes outstanding performers from the previous year, including "Kuaishou Stars," "Hidden Talents," "Hidden Gems," and "Creative Talents." The event also invites bloggers who have recently excelled to perform, along with many first- and second-tier celebrities.

Such great resources are something many celebrities would fight tooth and nail to get into, but Ye Xian was able to participate purely because he is a native blogger on Kuaishou, and therefore received support from Kuaishou's official platform.

There's nothing we can do without supporting him. Ye Xian has completely dominated the music charts on Kuaishou. If it weren't for other celebrities buying traffic, and if Kuaishou hadn't adjusted the charts, the charts would basically be Ye Xian's domain. If we don't give him some incentive to catch his breath, the other celebrities will probably complain.

Good, the official Kuaiyin team coordinated with Ye Xian to ask him to slow down the pace of releasing songs a little, giving everyone a chance to survive.

Ye Xian had the same idea. He deliberately slowed down the pace from one post a day to one post every two days as his account grew. Now that he had more than 8 million followers, he could further reduce the frequency so as not to be forgotten by his followers.

Slowing down the pace also allows you to do more things instead of getting stuck in your account.

Therefore, Ye Xian said he would adjust the frequency of short video releases and live streams to once every three days, still consisting of three short videos and one song.

Releasing 3-4 songs a month at this frequency will leave plenty of room on the charts for other artists.

Kuaiyin's official team is also showing great sincerity. To compensate Ye Xian for his losses, all new works from Ye Xian's account will be directly invested in a pool of tens of millions of views, rather than being limited to his fan base.

The service priority of live streaming accounts is also being increased, with dedicated customer service representatives handling these matters, and malicious complaints and orders will be given higher priority.

Don't underestimate these small favors; they represent very favorable policies for every blogger making a living in the Kuaishou traffic pool.

Previously, Ye Xian's account was maliciously reported, and there was no dedicated customer service representative to handle it. The appeal queue was over 999.

Now, if someone makes a malicious complaint, he doesn't need to worry anymore. The system won't ban him directly; instead, it will first issue a pop-up warning, and only after three warnings will it take measures to ban him.

This gave Ye Xian enough time to react.

They might even give the other party a "key monitoring" reply, which is actually a disguised way of protecting Ye Xian, neither punishing him nor offending the customer.

In addition to these benefits, there are many other advantages, such as priority participation in various official Kuaiyin (TikTok) events, which will not be mentioned here.

……

Sitting among a group of celebrities, Ye Xian felt like he was covered in thorns, and he was uncomfortable no matter what.

During my last trip to Haizhou, I was just a nobody, able to hide on the sidelines and write. This time, sitting among a group of seniors, I no longer have the opportunity to work overtime and write.

While waiting to walk the red carpet, celebrities would occasionally come over to greet me. Although I had received intensive training from Ding Zhan and had a basic understanding of the guests participating today, seeing photos and meeting them in person was a completely different feeling.

The conversation was somewhat awkward.

No one can quite figure out what kind of temper this rising star in the music scene, this newly emerging second-tier celebrity, really has.

Ye Xian couldn't figure out what kind of personalities these senior figures in the music industry had.

The conversation revolved around trivial topics like "The weather is nice today," "You look great in that outfit," and "You have a great figure, how do you maintain it?"

Having finally made it onto the red carpet, all the cameras, both long and short, were pointed at me today, and the shutter sound was almost non-stop.

Today's main character is only one person: Ye Xian!

This is the consensus among all media reporters; that's how the entertainment industry works—whoever gets the most attention, gets the most attention.

In another world, a certain actress surnamed Zhang was at the height of her fame, with various international fashion brands vying to invite her to their shows and allowing her to sit in the front row at will.

After her popularity faded, Zhang Ying-tzu honestly bought her own ticket to attend the show, and her seat was even arranged in a corner.

This is the snob-driven entertainment industry.

Ye Xian strode forward, showing no intention of stopping despite the media reporters' calls. However, when he reached the location of Sun Li's fan group, he had to stop to give his fans a chance to take photos.

In Ye Xian's live stream, comments flooded the screen like a waterfall, and gifts kept pouring in.

The carnival was going off every now and then, and the gifts were practically free.

[Love is so deep, legs naturally spread: Ahhh, Brother Xian's black and white color-blocked suit today really amazed me! So handsome!]

[A mere coincidence: Seeing Ye Xian every day makes me sleep soundly!]

[A complete mess: Brother Xian, Brother Xian, I want to have your babies!]

[Snobbish on the poor and loves F: My son has finally grown up, he has 840 million concubines!]

……

Tian Yan was also present and almost immediately seized the opportunity to interview Ye Xian: "Brother Xian, in less than two months, you've grown to this level. Do you have any reflections or experiences to share with everyone?"

Ye Xian couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Big sister, in this kind of situation, you're asking such a profound question. How am I supposed to answer?"

Tian Yan immediately regretted asking the question. This kind of question usually requires prepared answers and is only asked during in-depth interviews. Just as she was about to rephrase it, Ye Xian answered, "I want to say that I'm just an ordinary person; as long as I work hard, that's enough!"

Tian Yan immediately understood that this sentence came from Ye Xian's answer to Sun Li, Wang Feifei, and Wang Yin in the live broadcast room. Longtime fans all knew the meaning of this sentence, and they also knew that this sentence led to the song "A Person Like Me".

Tian Yan was satisfied.

Although he made a few minor mistakes in his performance, Xian Ge remained as good as ever, and that was enough.

……

Ye Xian turned and walked towards the autograph wall, leaving a scribbled signature on a leaf before entering the inner area.

Ye Xian walked the red carpet relatively late this time, so he didn't have to wait too long after entering, saving him the pain of exchanging pleasantries with his seniors.

Sure enough, once you get promoted, you suffer less.

Before long, the 2022 Quick Music Star Night officially began.

As the top-tier awards ceremony in the Tang Dynasty, Kuaiyin's official team spared no expense, indulging in extreme luxury. The stage presentation was also incredibly dazzling, and the shouts and sing-alongs of 100,000 people in the audience made Ye Xian, sitting below the stage, tremble with fear.

This is a much bigger stage than the last trip to Haizhou. The live stream is directly aimed at all Kuaiyin users across the Tang Dynasty, which is definitely a moment of glory for many minor celebrities and bloggers.

Ye Xian has gained popularity, but his status is still somewhat weaker at such an awards ceremony broadcast live across the entire Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Ye Xian's performance was scheduled for the middle of the show, instead of last as it was last time. The organizers wanted to use Ye Xian's popularity and buzz to boost the audience's fatigue during the middle of the show and the declining viewership in the live stream.

So he was called backstage early to prepare for the performance.

Having gained experience from the trip to Haizhou and gone through rehearsals, Ye Xian was much more composed this time, but he still couldn't quite suppress the sense of dread.

Ding Zhan, standing to the side, noticed that Ye Xian's breathing was a little uneven and immediately understood what was going on.

"Ye Xian!"

Ding Zhan placed his hands on Ye Xian's shoulders, staring intently into Ye Xian's eyes: "Take a deep breath, relax, don't think about anything! Go up there like you're in rehearsal, let your voice ring out, and let the whole Tang Dynasty witness your talent!"

Ye Xian slowly exhaled, his eyes gradually hardening. He nodded gratefully to Ding Zhan, indicating that he was alright.

Since we've come this far, there's no point in thinking about anything else.

Today is my stage!

Tang Dynasty, come and feel the waves from another world!
