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

Chapter 274 As everyone knows, I am a streamer!

"The boy in the blue shirt!"

Ye Xian casually pointed to a student in the front row, and a teaching assistant handed him the microphone.

"Hey Xian, hello. I want to ask, how do you manage to handle so many beautiful women and turn them all into stars? As a guy, I really want to learn from you! You're the undisputed 'King of the Game' in the eyes of all us guys!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone in the room burst into laughter; even the teachers, professors, deans, and vice deans who were observing were laughing hysterically.

[Get rich overnight: Haha, this guy knows how to ask questions!]

[Overnight weight loss: Aquaman! Hahaha! This nickname is so accurate! There are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names!]

[Don't Hit Me, Brave Warrior: Hey, Mr. Xian, hurry up and sign a few male streamers, or your reputation will be ruined!]

[A warm-hearted person: No, no, no, I love Brother Xian just the way he is! Because if he keeps going like this, we female fans will have a chance! I don't mind being a "sea queen" (a term for a woman who is attractive to men)!]

……

Ye Xian was also taken aback by the question. He realized he had such a nickname, and could only laugh and cry as he said, "Normally, we shouldn't ask about these personal matters in class, but since it's the first class, I'll answer it for everyone."

As Ye Xian was about to answer, everyone stared wide-eyed, eager to hear how he planned to clear his name.

"As everyone knows, I'm a live streamer, my main job is selling products..."

As soon as Ye Xian opened his mouth, the students below immediately followed up with their own words.

"I cook part-time, sing occasionally, tell stories intermittently, and sometimes act!"

Ye Xian laughed: "Looks like it's all for midnight snacks!"

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Ye Xian continued, "I'm a streamer, and I focus on operations! On Kuaishou, female streamers are the easiest to gain an account. If a girl can sing decently and dance reasonably well, she will get a lot of traffic."

However, monetization becomes difficult. This is a common problem for many female live streamers. Fortunately, I can write songs and dance, so injecting emotional value into these accounts becomes the most important aspect.

People watch Kuaiyin for two main reasons: to kill time, to find emotional support, and some to learn something during their spare time. But what truly captivates viewers is content with emotional value.

For example, the wildly popular special forces-style tourism, and the popular video of repairing donkey hooves, are all ways to relieve stress...

Everyone originally thought Ye Xian would try to argue his way out of it, but unexpectedly he started talking about the operation of Kuaiyin (a Chinese music streaming platform).

[There's plenty of time in the future: Holy crap, everyone thought Brother Xian was picking up girls, but he was actually making money! We're all human, so why is there such a huge difference? Picking up girls and making money at the same time, and making those girls willingly make money for him—how amazing is that?]

[Gunfight Prince: Seriously? So blatantly admitting he's using them as accounts to make money? Isn't Brother Xian afraid of being torn to pieces by Sun Li, Li Xin, Duan Fei, Chen Xu, Li Hong, and the five girls when he gets home?]

[Top Scorer: A player is a player! I'm impressed by this skill level! He slept with girls and made them make money for him! And he even managed to get involved with Kuaishou (a Chinese short video platform) operations! Brother Xian, you're amazing! I'm bowing down to you!]

[Keyboard abuse: You bunch of LSPs, shouldn't you be taking notes right now? Why are you still arguing?]

……

The students at the scene never expected that when they came to listen to a vocal music class, Brother Xian would start giving them an operations lesson.

The boy in the blue shirt had only intended to be mischievous, but he didn't expect Ye Xian to start teaching so seriously, which made him stand there quite uncomfortable.

Am I being a little embarrassing?

Some students took notes while looking on with a look of sudden realization.

"I feel like what Brother Xian is saying now is even more useful than the music theory he just talked about!"

"Of course! That's what makes a living! No matter how much music theory we know, who can write a masterpiece? In the end, don't we all just go home and become music teachers?"

"I'm impressed! I'm so impressed! I made the right decision to come today! Thank goodness I didn't skip class! Otherwise, I wouldn't have known I could have learned so much!"

"Compared to the outdated things taught in schools, what Brother Xian talks about is exactly what we college students need! With these skills, we'll have the ability to make a living!"

……

Many of the mentors nodded in agreement. There were many things that Ye Xian said that the mentors present did not quite understand, or even understood.

This is exactly what students need.

As an educator, one cannot preach ideals to students while simultaneously urging them to shed their traditional robes and go to work, without also providing them with the skills necessary for such work.

The university of life teaches more in a month than a university teaches in four years.

People like Ye Xian, who come from the grassroots and the front lines of society, teach exactly what students need most.

The vice dean and the director of academic affairs exchanged a smile.

The first lesson was a success!

……

After answering the first question, the boy in the blue shirt bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude, and Ye Xian then asked for a boy in the white shirt.

"Brother Xian, you just said that girls are more popular, so what should we guys do? How can we add emotional value to our accounts?"

Ye Xian hadn't expected the Q&A session to completely deviate from music theory itself, but he still answered, "As for male students' accounts, it depends on whose business you want to target. If you want to attract your own kind, then you need to do something novel and unique, such as a knife-forging competition, donkey hoof repair competition, glass bead competition, bottle cap competition, and so on. After all, a man is a boy until he dies."

Amidst laughter, Ye Xian continued his explanation: "If you want to attract girls, you need to be cool and stylish. Some music accounts featuring flashing lights and percussion are very easy to create and are popular among young people. Of course, if you can dance, that's even better; you can create some dance videos. But to monetize this, you need to take your coolness and style to the extreme."

……

If you're really interested and want to develop your career in Kuaiyin (TikTok), there are many free tutorials available on Kuaiyin. Don't bother with the paid tutorials; they're all scams!

Everyone applauded. Ye Xian's explanation gave these young people with active minds a direction, but how to do it specifically would require further practice.

[The daycare center was utterly disgusted: Holy crap, after all these years since graduation, I'm actually enjoying a lecture in a live stream!]

[Riding a pig on the highway: No wonder Brother Xian's account is so amazing; he's mastered all the novelty, uniqueness, coolness, and beauty.]

[I know your strengths and weaknesses, you know mine: This is the kind of course that should be taught to university students—so practical! If I had taken a course like this back then, I wouldn't have skipped class and failed!]

[Top Elementary School Student: The problem is, this is a music academy, shouldn't we be teaching music theory? Why do I feel like I can't leave the live stream? Teacher, it's not that I'm betraying you, it's just that Brother Xian's explanation is too good!]

……

Ye Xian gave the last question to a long-haired female classmate.

The long-haired female classmate stood up gracefully.

"Brother Xian, I feel I've benefited a lot from your 90-minute lecture. I think I made the right choice in taking your course! This isn't just flattery; after all, we Gen Zers have never liked flattery."

The students burst into laughter. The long-haired girl brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said with a smile, "I know you must be tired after talking for so long, but everyone has been waiting for so long and is tired too. My question is actually a request. I want to sing your new song 'Sunny Day' with you, Brother Xian."

"Wow--"

The whole audience cheered. How could everyone come to listen to Ye Xian's class if they weren't there to hear him sing live? It's just that everyone was very reserved during class time. But when the long-haired female classmate made a request, they all became excited.

Ye Xian had anticipated this situation and immediately nodded, saying, "Alright then, since we're here, we should at least give the students a good first lesson."

"I'd like to dedicate the song 'Sunny Day' to everyone."

Ps2:

The phrase "to build a cart behind closed doors" comes from Zhu Xi's "The Doctrine of the Mean: Questions and Answers" in the Song Dynasty.

"To settle down and make a living" comes from the Song Dynasty Buddhist text "Jingde Chuandeng Lu" by Shi Daoyuan.

The two words above don't significantly affect the overall impression, so I used them directly.
