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

Chapter 246 Why do I suddenly have this feeling of being injected with adrenaline?

The amateur dragon boat race has concluded, with Ye Xian's team, the landlords' team from Haijiao Village, winning the championship. This news spread rapidly across the internet.

At the same time, a number of short essays also spread rapidly.

"Brother Xian won a million-dollar prize and donated it all to them..."

"The most extravagant landlord team in history, the prize money terrified Ye Xian..."

"The champion's prize, Ye Xian, got a pig's head..."

Ye Xian is about to hold a celebration to commemorate his 30 million fans! He has invited all members of the Cape No. 7 Dragon Boat Team to participate!

The entire cast and crew of "Dream of the Red Chamber" sang and danced to congratulate Ye Xian on his triumphant return!

……

Various clickbait articles have made headlines and trending topics on major platforms, and various edited versions have also spread on Kuaishou (a Chinese short video platform).

Among them, the edited video of the late-night snack group was the most exciting.

Sun Li montaged together footage of Ye Xian practicing with his teammates, their victory in the competition, the villagers of Haijiao Village singing together during a late-night snack session, and the parade through the streets.

With the background music of "A Man Should Be Self-reliant," everyone who saw this short video was stunned.

[This is so inspiring! It makes me want to sign up!]

[This background music is so energetic, what's it called?]

[This is Xian Ge's "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant," their dragon boat team's anthem! The scene of a thousand people singing along was absolutely electrifying!]

[Haha, I was there at the time, and I was the one singing the loudest!]

……

At this moment, Ye Xian was sitting in the RV watching short videos edited by Sun Li.

Seeing everyone's comments, he smiled knowingly. Winning the championship this time was beyond his expectations. He originally thought that as a member of the Cape Village, he would follow in his father's footsteps and participate. He never expected that after really getting involved, he would receive such a good reward.

I can say that I've given it my all and left no regrets!

Why do I suddenly have this strange feeling that my dad has given me a shot of adrenaline?

Ye Xian chuckled to himself.

After a short rest, Ye Xian immediately threw himself into filming "Dream of the Red Chamber".

Half a day has already been wasted, and that costs money!

Director Jia was overjoyed to see Ye Xian: "The competition is over, now we can finally get back to filming, right?"

"Well, next up is regular training. The official Haizhou Competition won't be until a week before the Dragon Boat Festival, which is still a month away."

Ye Xian had already changed into Jia Baoyu's costume. After inquiring about the filming progress, he quickly got into character.

Autumn's mother continued her live stream.

However, this is currently a live stream where the person is mute, as not being able to speak affects the filming. Nevertheless, hundreds of thousands of people are still watching the live stream.

[A Thousand Miles a Day: Holy crap, Brother Xian is working too hard! He won the championship in the morning, had lunch and rushed back to film. Are all celebrities this busy these days?]

[More on this later: It's not that celebrities are being overly aggressive, it's that Brother Xian is being too aggressive! He's leaving no room for other celebrities to compete!]

[There's plenty of time in the future: Don't say that. Brother Xian said he's a live-streaming e-commerce host; songwriting and acting in TV dramas are just side jobs!]

[Getting tired of it over time: Damn it, can you please stop saying that?! Every time I see that phrase, I want to slap those young idols to death. Even a part-time songwriter could easily outshine them, and none of them have a single hit song, yet they have the audacity to call themselves gods of the music industry!]

……

After finishing today's filming, Ye Xian went back to the hotel to rest early. He was too tired. Even he didn't dare to go out and have fun with the dragon boat team members tonight.

Therefore, he missed the dragon boat team's three-part ritual of foot washing, massage, and ear cleaning tonight.

As for the 30 million fan celebration reported by the media, in fact, Ye Xian's total number of fans at this time was only 27 million, which is still some distance away from reaching 30 million.

Moreover, the celebration of 30 million fans can't just be held casually; he needs to plan it carefully.

Over the next few days, Ye Xian's routine returned to normal. He trained with the dragon boat team in the morning, filmed during the day, and went dragon boating in the evening.

If it's a regular live stream every three days, I'll go live in the evening. Otherwise, I'll write and catch up on "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio".

In fact, "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" has hundreds of thousands of words, and it would take a long time to fully translate it. Therefore, Ye Xian mainly focused on translating the ancient romance, movie, and TV series versions of the stories "Nie Xiaoqian" and "Painted Skin" first.

The sixth princess took a liking to both of these stories.

However, how to film it, whether as a TV series or a movie, requires Ye Xian to provide the specific details and then hand them over to a professional team for evaluation.

Ye Xian managed to steal a moment from his busy schedule and recorded his new song.

While Ye Xian was busy with his work, "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" became a hit.

Ye Xian wrote a team song for the dragon boat team.

At the competition, a thousand people sang "A Man Should Be Self-reliant".

The members of Cape No. 7 said they were able to win the game because they heard the chorus...

This series of news contributed to the huge success of "Men Should Be Self-Reliant".

First, many short videos used this song as background music, and then some teams that were holding dragon boat races heard about it and began rehearsing the song "A Man Should Be Self-reliant".

Within a few days, it seems another team won the championship because of this song.

People who row dragon boats tend to believe in this.

A song that can help you win the championship is more effective than burning incense.

As a result, the song "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" was regarded as an auspicious omen by all the dragon boat teams, and they felt that they couldn't win if they didn't sing this song.

The scene of the dragon boat race suddenly went off track.

Before local competitions, dragon boat teams would sing songs together, and everyone would choose "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" as their team song, so they would compete to see who could sing it the most energetically.

After the team members finished singing, the villagers sang.

This trend of singing "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" quickly swept through the fast-paced music scene.

[A fifth-rank imperial guard with bricks: I'm laughing so hard I can't live anymore! The dragon boat races across the country have turned into singing competitions.]

[If you have a song in your heart, you'll naturally get hyped: Although this song is really awesome, the scene of everyone yelling it out is just too hilarious!]

[This old monk only flirts with flowers, not grass: It has to be my brother Xian, he can write a song that causes a huge stir!]

[This humble Taoist priest, whose Buddhist name is Kidney Deficiency, says: I heard that the Imperial Guard is also planning to introduce this song as one of their must-sing songs! Brother Xian is truly amazing.]

……

Many casual fans have been hooked on this song, and many people have come to watch Ye Xian's account.

If it's just a catchy song, most people won't bother to watch the original video; they'll just use it.

However, this time, because Ye Xian won the championship with his team song and dragon boat teams from all over the country competed to sing it, the topic became a hot topic, and Ye Xian's original video became a hit.

This is Kuaishou's traffic rules.

Your song might be a hit, but you might not be.

If you do something good, you'll definitely become famous.

As Ye Xian gradually becomes a top celebrity, even small things happening around him can become hot topics.

This is what celebrities, as public figures, need to pay attention to.

Ye Xian never considered himself a celebrity, and as a result, many of the things he did made him stand out among celebrities. But no one could have imagined that the more Ye Xian acted this way, the more popular he became.

Just like now, the song "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" has become the must-sing team song for dragon boat races.

This led some of Qiu's mother's friends and former colleagues to come knocking on her door.
