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

Chapter 201 The bolder the man, the greater the harvest.

The dozen or so costume photos of Ye Xian and Chen Xu have once again sparked a trend of Tang and Hanfu fashion. Many young people are imitating Ye Xian and Chen Xu's looks, and many tourist attractions that sell ancient costumes have also taken the opportunity to launch corresponding product sets.

Wear it for 99 yuan a day, plus 200 yuan for a photoshoot.

It's currently the peak tourist season in spring, and the two people's makeup, especially Lin Daiyu's makeup, has suddenly become very popular.

It's like the Longkui outfit from another world; somehow, it suddenly became incredibly popular.

During the tourist season, black nightshade plants are everywhere.

The new trend led by Ye Xian is the same. The designer has carefully designed dozens of Daiyu outfits, which are so beautiful that they are breathtaking. The young ladies are naturally eager to try them on.

During a tourist season, Daiyu is everywhere.

……

Chen Xu has become famous.

Multiple trending terms appeared on the hot search list. This time, the production team of "Dream of the Red Chamber" didn't spend any money at all. They created multiple trending terms simply by holding a public live audition.

Even now, Kuaishou has launched a "Most Beautiful Lin Daiyu" challenge.

It's well known that Kuaishou's challenges are the most popular among young people and bloggers. Whenever a challenge is launched, many young women will rush to join.

In a short time, various versions of Lin Daiyu appeared on Kuaiyin (a Chinese music platform).

Many influential bloggers have joined the fray, pushing the popularity of "Dream of the Red Chamber" to new heights.

That's how Kuaishou influencers are; they'll jump on any trending topic, even if it's completely unrelated.

Therefore, there is no originality; everyone is just copying.

This has shown many production teams a new way of promoting their products, and as a result, more and more production teams are starting to use live streaming and short videos to create buzz.

……

Under Ye Xian's instruction, Ding Zhan signed artist contracts with Chen Xu and Li Hong, making them both artists under Qiu Ye Yan Xuan.

Li Hong hasn't fully accepted that her best friend has become the female lead yet, but when Ye Xian extends an olive branch to them, she chooses to join without hesitation.

If you were to ask who's the most popular right now?

That was undoubtedly Ye Xian.

If we're talking about the strongest ability to create stars?

That must still be Ye Xian.

Ye Xian successfully propelled himself to the position of a second-tier celebrity, and also used two songs to bring two small bloggers, Li Xin and Duan Fei, into the limelight.

Even if they only had two songs, "Hello Tomorrow" and "Singing in the Tree," Li Xin and Duan Fei would never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of their lives.

So when Li Hong learned that Ye Xian wanted to sign her, she agreed without hesitation.

Chen Xu, on the other hand, came for the delicious food.

After Ye Xian warmly treated her to several meals, she became completely captivated.

Originally, playing Lin Daiyu was an accident, but now she has been completely won over by Ye Xian's cooking skills. She finally understands why Sun Li is so devoted to her and willing to be the leader of a fan club.

No foodie can resist the temptation of Brother Xian's delicious food!

However, she also faced the pain of becoming an overnight sensation. Various media outlets quickly came knocking on her door, and marketing accounts tried to piggyback on her fame. She had to be thankful that she had signed an agency contract, otherwise these interviews alone would have driven her to the brink of collapse.

Ding Zhan immediately assigned assistants to Chen Xu, Li Hong, Li Xin, and Duan Fei. The two interns, Wang Feifei and Wang Yin, were given new jobs: Wang Feifei served Li Xin and Duan Fei, while Wang Yin served Chen Xu and Li Hong.

At the same time, Ding Zhan also began recruiting new agents, as he was already overwhelmed by the workload.

Currently, Li Xin and Duan Fei are a duo under Ye Xian's management, which is fine as they are bundled together. However, Chen Xu and Li Hong will definitely develop independently in the future, and it's not enough for me to focus my main energy on Ye Xian. In addition, the matter of the winery is also about to make progress.

……

In the past few days, some roles have been finalized one after another. Important roles such as Grandmother Jia, Jia Lian, Lady Wang, and Granny Liu have all been played by well-known veteran actors in the industry.

The auditions were all open, and the interaction and enthusiasm in the live stream were very high. The number of people watching each live stream at the same time never fell below 50. Therefore, after the actors were selected, the costume photos were released very quickly.

Many of the actors in the 87 TV series "Dream of the Red Chamber" were making their television debut, and many were not formally trained in film and television. Slightly better, most were selected from arts organizations; some were stage actors, others traditional opera actors. However, it's undeniable that their acting skills were somewhat lacking.

Many people criticized Chen Xiaoxu for portraying Lin Daiyu as mean and petty, a character who was intelligent, noble, gentle yet strong. As a result, she did not win an award and was subjected to a lot of abuse, while Lady Wang won the award.

Actually, this is partly due to the acting skills, but also because the 87 version exaggerated Daiyu's flaws and beautified Baochai.

Due to a variety of factors, Lin Daiyu was criticized by many people back then.

The 87 version is a classic, but it also has many problems. Many of the camera angles, acting techniques, and expressions are outdated. Moreover, due to limited funding at the time, the sets are old-fashioned and rather stingy. These all need to be adjusted.

Fortunately, Director Jia is a professional. After confirming one role after another, the smile on his face grew wider and wider.

……

Ye Xian spent two days helping Liu Xiaoxiao record the song, and then took another day to record his own new song.

During this time, the Sixth Princess called: "Yunyun is indeed a bit weaker."

Ye Xian immediately understood what was going on and quickly explained, "Your Highness, this is a public casting call. Everyone's votes are there, so I can't just keep her directly."

"Let's hope so!"

Li Yunxi remained noncommittal, then added, "I've already arranged for people to investigate the winery you messaged me about wanting to take over. That winery is indeed heavily embezzled, and I'll make them spit out everything they've eaten."

However, this factory is indeed insolvent. If you were to take it over, it shouldn't cost much, at most 1000 million.

The problem is, you still need to come up with 1000 million for me. We haven't even settled the costs for the resort yet. Do you have enough money?

Ye Xian scratched his head and chuckled dryly, "Can I pay in installments?"

Li Yunxi laughed in exasperation: "You're planning to get involved in a tourist resort business like this?"

Ye Xian chuckled and said, "The bolder the person, the greater the harvest."

Li Yunxi snorted, "How about this, you come to the capital tomorrow. The weather is colder than usual this year, and it's been raining a lot in the capital, so the 'Tang Dynasty Peony Festival' has been postponed to the 18th, which is tomorrow. If you sing at the opening ceremony of the festival tomorrow night, I'll allow you to give me that 1000 million a month later."

"It's no big deal! Your Highness, rest assured, I'll make sure it's done perfectly for you." Ye Xian didn't even burp when he heard it was singing.

Now, I'm not afraid of going on stage at all.

My love for singing is definitely not because I got a month's grace period.

Li Yunxi suddenly laughed: "Time is tight and the task is heavy, so write a song for Peony!"

Ye Xian was taken aback: "What? Tomorrow we're going on stage, and Your Highness wants me to write a peony song now? It's already afternoon!"

"What? You feel honored to write a song for the national flower?"

Li Yunxi hadn't originally planned to have Ye Xian write a song, because he knew the time was indeed a bit rushed. But this kid was dishonest; while he was working with him on a TV series, he was also thinking about getting involved in his resort project, and then he wanted to buy a winery that was about to go bankrupt.

If Ye Xian hadn't recently built up such a buzz around "Dream of the Red Chamber," completely saving on subsequent publicity costs, she would have called long ago.

She didn't have high hopes, she just didn't want Ye Xian to be idle, he was too much of a troublemaker, why not just focus on casting and preparing for filming?

So, to kill two birds with one stone, she decided to give him some extra work to do as well.

"Aren't you a quick shooter? This is nothing to you, right?"

Ye Xian smiled wryly, considered for a moment, and said, "I'll write the song, Your Highness, you can find someone to sing it. I really don't have the time to prepare it."

"it is good."

Li Yunxi was taken aback. She had only mentioned it casually, but she didn't expect this guy to come up with an idea so quickly. This made her feel even more that Ye Xian was truly a treasure.

Could it be that this guy has a music library in his head?

Otherwise, how could I write songs so quickly every time?
