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

Chapter 249 Five Celebrities Simultaneously Request Songs

[My Chinese is taught by the PE teacher: Oh my god, what happened? What does Dingding mean by this?]

[I'm Xiao Heizi: Tang Feng and Du Jianling are veterans in the music industry. Isn't it a bit beneath them to ask a newcomer for a song?]

[Matcha Soy Milk: What's with the price drop? Didn't you see even Goddess Dingding personally begged for a song? Is Brother Xian's status really that high now? But what exactly did Brother Xian do to get so many big stars to come to his livestream asking for songs?]

[Artificial Intelligence: You guys don't know yet? Brother Xian wrote a few new songs and wanted to find a male-female duo to sing them. The whole entertainment industry is buzzing. Everyone's begging Ye Xian to give them this opportunity.]

……

In just a few minutes, Ye Xian's live stream viewership exploded to 200 million.

Fans of several celebrities rushed in, and the audience who were initially unaware of the situation immediately learned what was going on after other fans explained it to them.

This is absolutely a legendary scene in the entertainment industry!

Several top celebrities sought to collaborate with Ye Xian; if word got out, they could brag about it for a lifetime.

Ye Xian was both amused and exasperated: "Dear brothers and sisters, these new songs need to be sung by a group, and they're going for a mainstream appeal. These songs were originally written for my old friends who used to do square dancing..."

When Ye Xian explained the whole story, the audience burst into laughter.

Was this a blunder?

It's obvious to everyone that Ye Xian's songs are just for entertaining friends and family; they're not exactly high-quality works.

Ding Ding: It's okay, I can sing any song!

Tang Feng: My songs are often used for square dancing.

[Du Jianling: I'm very familiar with square dancing; I dance it all the time.]

[Jiang Tian: Which song can escape the clutches of square dancing?]

[Xiaoxiao: I want to try it!]

……

Many fans burst into laughter again. These big stars really went all out to sing Ye Xian's song!

Even songs that aren't considered high-quality are acceptable?

Do you sing the songs for square dancing?

Don't they care about appearances anymore?

[Brother Feng, are you sure you can pull off singing a square dance anthem with your rock-and-roll voice?]

[Brother Du, aren't you afraid of scaring away the aunties with your husky voice singing those square dance anthems?]

[Ding Ding, you're a goddess, please be a little more reserved, even if the person opposite you is Ye Xian, a peerless genius, a peerless god, a peerless writer... Ugh, I can't make this up anymore, please leave Brother Xian to us! Ding Ding, don't try to compete with us mortals.]

[Sweetie and Xiaoxiao, you two have already tasted Brother Xian's sweat, can you leave some for Dingding?]

……

The fans were having a great time, and several celebrities also joined in the fun. In the end, Ye Xian had to connect with each of the big stars via live stream.

Number of viewers in the live stream: 400 million.

Tang Feng and Du Jianling, two senior figures, were just bored and came to Ye Xian's live stream to have some fun. They made an appointment with Ye Xian to come and cook for him after his house renovation was completed, and then they hung up the microphone.

"Brother Xian!"

A pretty face appeared in front of the viewers in the live broadcast room.

As soon as Ding Ding and Ye Xian connected on microphone, the number of viewers in the live stream exceeded 600 million.

A top-tier celebrity and a top-tier second-tier celebrity connected via live stream to ask for songs, and everyone couldn't help but come and watch.

"Sister Ding, you're too kind. Just call me Ye Xian!"

Ye Xian maintained the proper politeness when facing a top-tier celebrity, who casually smiled and said, "Our stars at Tang Dynasty Entertainment are fighting tooth and nail right now, everyone's vying for your new song."

Upon hearing this gossip, many fans were once again amazed by Ye Xian's current influence.

However, everyone knows that Ye Xian has the qualifications to be fought over by these celebrities.

Good resources always have to be earned through one's own efforts.

Even unspoken rules.

In another world, a tax-evading actress, in order to climb the ladder, doesn't hesitate to knock on doors in the middle of the night for a single shot—a common occurrence in the entertainment industry.

Some people can fall asleep and understand it, while others can't even understand what they're sleeping about.

"Brother Xian, you're too kind. I'd like to ask you to sing a song for me alone. My new movie is about to be released, but I haven't found a suitable theme song yet."

Ding Ding is now 30 years old, which is considered an older actress in the entertainment industry, but she has always been in great shape and has a very keen eye for choosing scripts. In recent years, she has been active among the top stars.

If there weren't so few movies featuring leading ladies, she probably would have already become a superstar.

[Lacking Love in Five Elements: Could this be that love movie from the Greater Hong Kong region that Ding Ding just finished filming?]

[Habitually adorably clueless: Hahaha, Dingding, are you sure you want Brother Xian to write a love song?]

[Lacking common sense since childhood: Xian Ge is a single, simply guy whose first love is flying overseas. You expect him to write love songs? Don't you see how many people ridiculed his song "Spring Flowers Will Bloom" as a simply song?]

[You're so young and already have such a big mouth: You can't say that. Aren't "Darling, That's Not Love" and "Singing in the Tree" both very well written?]

……

Many fans are very familiar with Ding Ding's schedule, and they are not optimistic about her asking Ye Xian to write a love song.

This is the double-edged nature of labels.

Labels can make or break a company.

If Ding Ding asked Ye Xian for an inspirational song, everyone would think she had come to the right person.

As it turned out, Ding Ding wanted a love song, which made many people skeptical.

Even though the love songs like "Dear, That's Not Love," "Singing on the Tree," "When," and "Spring Flowers Will Bloom" are all very good.

But people are still not very convinced.

Because the label has already been attached, everyone assumes that Ye Xian can only write inspirational songs and is not good at writing love songs.

This is the impact of cognition on the mind.

"Sister Ding, are you sure you want me to write love songs? Your fans in the comments section are all warning you not to fall into this trap!"

Ye Xian was also surprised. Although he didn't know what kind of movie Ding Ding was going to release, the numerous comments quickly made him realize what kind of song Ding Ding wanted to sing.

Ding Dingdang was very clear about everyone's thoughts and had hesitated before, but she still trusted her own judgment. Over the years, she had never made a mistake in choosing scripts or songs.

"Brother Xian, people are so impressed by your inspirational songs that they've overlooked your talent in love songs."

"Dear, That's Not Love", "Spring Flowers Will Bloom", "Singing on the Tree" and "When" are four songs that are definitely award-winning. Any one of these four songs could be a theme song for a love story.

Therefore, I am sincerely asking you to sing a song, so please don't refuse!

Ye Xian hadn't expected the other party to have such a discerning eye. These four love songs had either won Best Lyricist Awards, Golden Melody Awards, or Golden Melody Award nominations. In this world, they had only been released for less than three months, and were also overshadowed by many of Ye Xian's other songs, which was why they hadn't yet achieved widespread fame.

The release of so many classic songs at once raised the bar for many fans, thus diminishing the impact of these songs.

Ding Ding is absolutely right. Any one of these songs, if performed by any other singer in the past decade, would have been a dominant force in the music scene.

Fans were surprised by Ding Ding's high praise for Ye Xian. After thinking about it, they felt that Ding Ding was absolutely right.

[Silly Fairy: Is it possible that Brother Xian's songs are all so good that we feel these love songs are just so-so?]

[Graduate student who loves barbecue: In just over three months, has Brother Xian successfully spoiled our ears?]

[Kindergarten Queen: You know what, you really don't believe it! When did we become so hard to please? Any one of Xian Ge's songs could easily beat the current music scene! Aren't we asking too much of Xian Ge?]

[Old Phlegm Pickled Cabbage Noodles: Don't talk nonsense! We should have such high standards for Brother Xian so he can write better songs! Brothers, we can't lower our standards, otherwise we'll have to go back to listening to that bullshit "Just Cramming for the Best"!]
