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

Chapter 258 The Goddess Has Arrived!

As the chorus approached, the two women opened their throats, and the tension in their voices at the beginning disappeared. Ye Xian's guzheng playing became even more lively.

Li Xin and Duan Fei exchanged a glance, both able to see the surprise in each other's eyes.

Chen Xu and Li Hong are indeed graduates of the drama academy. Li Hong is a professional actress, and Chen Xu majored in directing and minored in acting. During their recent vocal and acting classes, the difference in their backgrounds became immediately apparent.

What took the two of them a long time to learn, Chen Xu and Li Hong mastered quickly.

The material that the two of them had to memorize for a long time, Chen Xu and Li Hong hardly needed to review.

In acting class, Chen Xu and Li Hong could pass the assignments given by Teacher Hu in no more than three tries, while Chen Xu and Duan Fei needed to try eight or ten times and still might not pass.

Sometimes, talent really is more important than hard work.

The two of them had listened to this song practiced in their vocal lessons more than once, and each time they got better. Even though the song wasn't very difficult, they could quickly grasp every breathing point and put their emotions into it effortlessly.

For the first time, two carefree and easygoing girls felt a sense of crisis.

If I don't work harder, I'm afraid these two will take away the title of Brother Xian's top general.

By then, even if the two are Brother Xian's darlings, they'll probably become expired meat.

Especially Chen Xu.

The pressure she exerted on the two of them was immense!

She was almost as good as her childhood sweetheart who lived far away in a foreign land.

No, we have to fight!

……

Their random thoughts didn't affect Chen Xu and Li Hong's mood, and the chorus continued.

Who parted from lovesickness and fell ill?

Do not ask about the ends of the earth, nor about the return date.

Unfortunately, no one understands my thoughts.

... "

[The Egg That Was Forced to Fry: This song is so poignant, it feels like it was made for "Dream of the Red Chamber"!]

[Daily Chicken Management: Amazing! This kind of traditional Chinese style music is really rare! Brother Xian is awesome!]

[Farewell My Concubine: Both the singing style and the accompaniment feel more comfortable than Brother Xian's usual music style! I didn't expect that Chen Xu and Li Hong, these two young ladies, are not only good actors, but also sing so well!]

[Stir-fried noodles without MSG: Brother Xian, what other musical styles are you not good at? Tell me, I'll write them! Leave some room for us aspiring singers!]

……

Fans in the live stream are cheering wildly for Chen Xu and Li Hong. They previously thought the two were good performers and very pretty, but who would have thought that after being coached by Brother Xian, their singing skills were just as good.

Fans also praised this traditional Chinese style song, saying that while there were songs of this style in the Tang Dynasty music scene, there weren't many that were truly good.

Ye Xian has once again led the trend that young people love most.

Within 70 minutes of starting the broadcast, Ye Xian's live stream had 800 million concurrent viewers.

Ye Xian's total number of fans: 2985 million.

The total number of fans of the Sound5 Girls group: 980,000.

Xin Ge and Fei Ge's total number of fans: 735 million.

Chen Xu's total number of fans: 120 million.

Li Hong's total number of fans: 68 million.

……

The live stream with nearly ten million viewers put immense pressure on Kuaishou's servers. The programmers, grumbling and cursing, started to divert traffic while listening to new songs in the live stream with headphones on.

The revelry continues tonight.

The release of Ye Xian's new song did not end there.

After Chen Xu and Li Hong finished singing "Don't Ask When You'll Return," they both had happy smiles on their faces. They bowed to the camera to thank everyone before sitting down at the tea table.

Nine girls sat in a circle, making even a 2-meter-long tea table seem a bit small.

Ye Xian stood up, walked in front of the live stream camera, looked at everyone's comments, and laughed, "You all love Chen Xu and Li Hong so much? Then hurry up and follow them!"

"Want to have fun tonight? We're just 10 away from reaching 3000 million followers. New friends, don't forget to follow us!"

"Are you all tired of listening to music? Shall we move on to the next activity? Not tired? Then let's continue! Next up, please welcome our goddess, Ding Ding—"

The live stream chat exploded instantly!

Nearly ten million viewers stared at the live stream in disbelief.

Everyone was stunned when they saw Ding Ding, dressed in a white fishtail dress, slowly walk in front of the camera in the live broadcast room.

[Nothing's more popular than Aunt Flo: Wow, Brother Xian's status is really high now! This is Goddess Ding Ding! A top-tier star of the Tang Dynasty!]

[From a BL perspective: I thought that Xian Ge being able to have fun with Jiang Tian and Liu Xiaoxiao was already the most triumphant thing in his life! Who would have thought that he could also... mess with the goddess Ding Ding!]

[Habitually adorable: Don't talk nonsense. Dingding asked Brother Xian for a song in the live stream before, so she must be here for a song to celebrate Brother Xian's 30 million follower milestone!]

[Handsome Daddy: Brother Xian, I'm so impressed! I don't care how many songs you write, but getting Goddess Ding Ding to your livestream is truly a role model for us all!]

……

Before Ding Ding arrived, her agent advised her that it was inappropriate to lower her status like this. Even though Ye Xian was about to become a top star, he still lacked a major award. If he could not gain the recognition of the various organizing committees, even if his fans praised him to the skies, they would not recognize him as a top star.

You see, Liu Bohan is almost driven mad by a Best Actor award, and he doesn't even dare to confront Ye Xian at this critical juncture, fearing it might cause trouble. He hasn't been able to break into the top tier for so many years because he lacks a major film award to bolster his reputation.

Second-tier sounds great, but there's always a huge gap between it and first-tier that needs to be bridged.

Zhang Fei, who started out performing sketches in another world, was bullied by some second- or third-tier celebrities when she first entered the film and television industry. She didn't even have a chair when she attended parties, and no one paid any attention to her.

In just one month, her movie became a huge hit. From then on, she was always seated in the first two rows at any event, and her event promotional pages always had their own dedicated page. Her clothes went from cheap bargains to haute couture from major brands.

Snobbery has always existed in the entertainment industry.

However, Ding Ding did not listen to her agent. Always having her own opinions, she booked a plane ticket and rushed to Haizhou the next day.

Ye Xian hadn't expected the other party to actually come. He was busy preparing for his 30 million fan celebration, so he had to put aside his work and properly entertain the other party. After the two parties reached a cooperation agreement, he sincerely invited the other party to attend his celebration.

Ding Ding, who was the last to appear, did not greet the fans directly, but instead picked up the microphone and started singing.

There are so many people in this world

A door was open in the crowd.

My hazy eyes remain forever

First time seeing you, in the blue morning

... "

[The Great Tang Dynasty's Top-Tier Unprotected Trash: Our Dingding acts well and sings very well too! The feeling Dingding brings to this song is completely opposite to Xian Ge's, it's so heartfelt!]

[Yan Zhi You Li: Starting with "There Are So Many People in This World," the goddess chose a very difficult song!]

[All the good names are given by dogs: Dingding came asking for songs, so naturally he'll sing some to show off his singing voice. Didn't Jiang Tian and Liu Xiaoxiao do the same thing back then?]

[The fairy with a beer belly: By the way, why didn't Jiang Tian and Liu Xiaoxiao come today? Xian Ge is so close to them! They shouldn't have missed the 30 million fan celebration!]
