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

Chapter 251: Anything produced by Ye Xian is bound to be a masterpiece!

The person leading the group of trainees to watch Ye Xian's new song short video was Yang Zhenzhen, the top agent of Datang Entertainment.

Yang Zhenzhen is very satisfied with this batch of trainees because several of them are promising talents.

Unfortunately, the fan culture is different now than it used to be.

Perhaps it can be said that the golden age of fandom has passed.

Since the Tang Dynasty's national self-confidence has grown stronger, the younger generation no longer idolizes foreign things, and effeminate men have been abandoned by the times.

The current fandom values ​​authenticity.

Among them, the most outstanding representative is none other than Ye Xian.

Looking back over the past few months since Ye Xian debuted, he has brought realism to the extreme, and coupled with his unparalleled creativity, he has formed the most terrifying fan base to date.

Ye Xian has nearly 3000 million followers, none of whom bought any followers or were zombie followers. All of them are active fans, and their purchasing power is terrifying.

Because most fans know that Ye Xian's main job is selling products, his repeated phrase "Hello everyone, I am Ye Xian, a professional seller..." is tedious to hear, but it also makes everyone remember that he sells products.

Ye Xian's self-operated products, such as Ye Xiaobai, Zui Honglou, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu figurines/character cards, have been selling like hotcakes.

This has led many brokerage firms and MCN agencies to start copying Ye Xian's model.

For capital, the one thing it has in abundance is handsome men.

But what's most lacking is a handsome guy who can consistently write hit songs.

One or two songs can be promoted with the power of capital, but what about ten or twenty songs?

The most difficult and crucial point in replicating Ye Xian's model lies in originality.

However, this doesn't deter capital; they can simply buy songs and copyrights everywhere, it just means spending more money. If they can succeed with just one song, they can easily recoup their investment.

Yang Zhenzhen stared blankly at the images on the projector, because these were things she had experienced in her youth.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, he had become someone of Ye Xian's parents' generation.

Yellowed photographs, old letters

and faded message cards

……

The song I wrote for you when I was young

You've probably already forgotten.

... "

The flowing water carries away the stories of time; it changed one person before, and two more after. Ye Xian's song resonates so deeply. Growth changes us, love changes us, from waiting for youth to shedding tears for youth!

If only Mr. and Mrs. Ye hadn't been in that car accident! Xian-ge would probably be very happy now, right?

Hardship shaped Xian Ge, but I wish he hadn't experienced those trials.

Beautiful lyrics, beautiful melody, and profound meaning—it's a song that generations of musicians might never produce again. This song is actually quite suitable for graduation season!

……

The screen was filled with comments praising the song and reminiscing about their youth. After watching a portion of the comments carefully, Yang Zhenzhen composed herself and looked at the trainees present.

"The demo of Ye Xian's new song has been sent to you for a few days. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on yourselves, because this is a blind audition. If Ye Xian feels that your voice is suitable, he will give you the opportunity!"

You've already heard "The Story of Time," and you should be able to sense that it's bound to be another hit.

Anything produced by Ye Xian is guaranteed to be a masterpiece! This is already a consensus, so everyone puts aside their own selfish thoughts and seizes this rare opportunity!

You all need to understand that Ye Xian only gave this opportunity to our Tang Dynasty Entertainment because of his good relationship with the Sixth Princess. There are countless singers lining up outside waiting to snag this song, so pack your things and get to the karaoke room to practice now.

The trainees quickly stood up, looked at Yang Zhenzhen, and said with some helplessness, "Sister Zhen, it's not that we don't want to sing, it's not that we don't want to practice, but this song is clearly dominated by female voices, and the male voices only have a few notes. How are we supposed to sing it?"

Yang Zhenzhen snorted, "The girls' department is also selecting members. This time, you are allowed to form your own groups."

The trainees let out a wail and scattered.

Yang Zhenzhen sighed. How could she not know that the song was mainly sung by a female voice? But Ye Xian insisted that it had to be a male-female combination, and in the demo version, the male voice was clearly the finishing touch.

However, male trainees are easier to make money from than female trainees, so the female trainees at Datang Entertainment are not very outstanding, which makes her a little worried that the song will eventually end up in the hands of outsiders.

Just as Yang Zhenzhen was about to get up and go back to her office, a young male and female trainee walked up to her: "Sister Zhen, we've finished recording. Would you like to listen to it for us?"

"You've finished recording? So fast?"

Looking at the man and woman in front of her, Yang Zhenzhen quickly remembered who they were. The two had previously sung in a bar. They weren't particularly good-looking, but they were excellent singers. Yang Zhenzhen had signed them on a whim while she was drinking at the bar.

At the time, the man wasn't very noticeable, but the girl was very outgoing. He only wanted to sign with the girl, but she was very loyal and said she wouldn't sign with her partner if he didn't want to.

The man's name was Zeng Yi, and the woman's name was Ling Hua.

The two had just been signed, but because they didn't have any good song resources yet, they were receiving a minimum living allowance, practicing singing at the company every day, and occasionally singing at bars.

Unexpectedly, they took the lead this time.

"Sister Zhen, we feel this song is perfect for us, so we tried singing it. After recording it, we thought it was pretty good, so we wanted you to give us your feedback."

Zeng Yi was not good with words, so Ling Hua explained.

Yang Zhenzhen nodded, took the other person's phone and listened to it. She exclaimed in surprise, "Your singing is almost identical to Ye Xian's!"

"Hey Zhen, do you think we can send this version to Xian Ge now?"

Zeng Yi and Ling Hua were overjoyed to hear Yang Zhenzhen's approval; they hadn't expected the song to resonate with them so perfectly.

Yang Zhenzhen laughed: "I feel great, but you guys still need to practice a bit more. There's a problem with your breathing. I'll send all the recordings to Ye Xian's manager in three days."

The two nodded quickly, fully aware of how rare this opportunity was, so after saying goodbye to Yang Zhenzhen, they went back to the karaoke room to continue practicing.

Yang Zhenzhen also breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know how the other trainees were doing, but for now, Zeng Yi and Ling Hua's versions at least gave her an explanation to the Sixth Princess and Ye Xian.

……

At this moment, the Sixth Princess had just finished watching Ye Xian's new song short video.

Tonight, Ye Xian will be doing a live stream, and it will be a big one.

Because Ye Xian's total number of fans is about to surpass 30 million tonight, the celebration party for the previously postponed Cape No. 7 championship will also be held tonight.

In addition, all of Ye Xian's friends will be attending tonight's live broadcast.

This prompted the Sixth Princess to hand over her work to her subordinates early on, while she lay on the sofa, waiting for the live broadcast on the big screen to officially begin.

Hmm, should we have dinner?

The things Ye Xian sells during his live streams always look so tempting!

Li Yunxi hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a snack bag from behind the sofa.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that all of them were products promoted by Ye Xian.

Hai Ma Durian Pastry, Hai Ma Durian Cake, Hai Ma Purple Sweet Potato and Yam Cake, Xiao Hei Hei Duck Neck, Shuang Xing Pork Jerky, Yan Jia Dried Tofu, Feng Jie Boneless Chicken Feet, Long Wei Spicy Strips, Uncle San's Hot and Sour Rice Noodles, Drunken Peanuts...
