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

Chapter 279 Just how popular is this song?

"Has he run out of ideas, or is he simply capable of performing both in grand settings and in public squares?"

News Bro, who hasn't tried to ride Ye Xian's coattails for a while, was the first to jump out this time.

"As we all know, Ye Xian, as a leading figure in the new generation of music, has published many popular works, including popular songs such as "The Farthest Place I Can See", "When", and "Laughing at the World" which are loved by young people, as well as hall-of-fame songs such as "Invisible Wings", "A Thousand Songs", "So Many People in This World" and "Farewell", and the master-level erhu piece "Moon Reflected in the Second Spring".

This exceptionally talented singer-songwriter has kept the music scene silent for the past four months, with no singer daring to compete with Ye Xian during this period.

However, a bizarre song called "Free Flight" once again thrust Ye Xian into the spotlight.

Although everyone knows that this song was specially created by Ye Xian for square dancing at his invitation, the fact that he used rap and folk music to create such a strange song makes people wonder if Ye Xian has run out of ideas.

Some say that Ye Xian wrote this strange song to appeal to both young people and middle-aged women in public squares, wanting to cater to both the youth market and the middle-aged women.

The question is, will young people accept it? Will older women accept it?

Although Ye Xian personally went on stage during the live broadcast and even got Jiang Tian, ​​Liu Xiaoxiao, and other celebrities to dance in a square, it made people wonder if Ye Xian was using this hype-generating method to promote the song because he lacked confidence.

Or perhaps this song was created simply to generate traffic, and Ye Xian didn't care much about whether it was suitable for square dancing or young people.

Stay tuned for trending topics. This is News Bro, see you next time.

……

[Big Fish Pond CEO: Has the sun risen in the west? News Bro actually gave his opinion this time, instead of just reading the news? But I completely disagree with what you said; Brother Xian's song is clearly not meant to pander to us young people!]

[Too lazy to come up with a name: It's rare to see News Bro dare to criticize Ye Xian this time. Is he just taking bribes? Whenever News Bro's content shows bias, it's definitely because he's taking bribes!]

[Drink this bowl of menstrual blood: Shh, how could news reporters possibly be making easy money? They're selectively blind and deaf, taking things out of context, sensationalizing, grabbing attention, generating traffic, and creating anxiety...]

[Three seconds later, a cold shoulder: Instead of focusing on important matters, you're busy criticizing something so good. Whether Brother Xian writes square dance music or songs that young people like to listen to, what's it to you? You, a journalism student, should just focus on your journalism. We'll find out who listens and who doesn't in a few days.]

……

News Brother's short videos are routinely ridiculed, and even Lao Wang, a well-known "wild braggart," seemed a bit unsure of himself this time.

"Brothers, it's not that I'm not trying to brag, but this song is nowhere near as good as Ye Xian's other songs. I want to brag, but I can't find the right angle. Give me some time, let me find the right angle, and try to sink it in one shot!"

[Cute Little Chubby: Old Wang, that's a bit unprofessional! It's not like Brother Xian isn't paying you! Even if he weren't paying you, your daughter is still being pampered by Brother Xian, isn't she?]

[The Scumbag Harvester: Old Wang, if you're going to brag, why bother finding an angle? Mindless bragging is the real bragging!]

[Bai Si Bu De Qi Jie: I feel sorry for Lao Wang. Even for someone as hardcore as me, this song is a bit hard to listen to. The supercar with that strong country vibe, the black sunglasses, the fingerless gloves, the scarf, and the blindingly bright 16 steps make me unsure if I can even tell if it's Xian Ge's song!]

[A little patience leads to great cuteness: Don't even mention you, I feel like I've wandered into the wrong place. You know, Brother Xian's "Gokuraku Jodo" and "GEE" are currently all the rage in the Tang Dynasty, and even many people in the UK are following these two songs. "Erquan Yingyue" and "Farewell" have officially entered the classrooms of many music academies. Suddenly, a song like "Free Flying" comes out. It feels like I've gone from a carefully prepared meal to a bowl of haphazardly cooked food. I just can't accept it!]

……

Aside from their complaints, Lao Wang's fans generally speak fairly. Many haters, like Kanye West, Liu Bohan, Ai Lele, and Hua Yuyu, saw an opportunity and immediately launched a smear campaign.

[You're stepping on my leg hair: Tsk tsk tsk, I feel like this song by Xian Ge is underrated! It absolutely blows away all his previous songs!]

[Green Grassland Gang Leader: Absolutely! I feel even "Invisible Wings" can't compare to it. This song combines the styles of rap and folk music, making it truly at the forefront of fashion trends. Those "News Bro" and "Old Wang" clearly don't understand music at all.]

[Riding a snail to chase an elephant: Haha, what cutting-edge fashion? If you ask me, it's just that they've run out of ideas! Releasing songs so frequently before, did they empty their inventory? If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job. If you can't write well, just write well; why insist on creating this weird Frankenstein's monster?]

[Wind Blows, Butt Poop Flies: Isn't Brother Xian supposed to be a leading figure among the new generation of musicians? Leading the way with songs like this? If that's the case, I could write a ton of them! Aren't you all the most disgusted by these kinds of songs with added rap? Why are you all silent now?]

……

The appearance of haters further fueled the controversy, and just when Sun Li was at a loss for how to respond, the intervention of Ye Xian's die-hard fan, Cat Brother, silenced many people.

"Hi everyone, this is Cat Bro! Recently, another idol has been exposed for scandals. All I want to say is, can you please not put MSG in your fried noodles?"

Also, please don't try to bribe me to whitewash your image, okay? I can't do the kind of dirty tricks you guys pull, where real fans use fake news to leak information to paparazzi, and then use that fake news to deny the real news. We're not the same kind of people, OK?

Alright, enough chit-chat. You can probably guess that I'm going to praise our Xian Ge again in this episode!

I've seen a lot of people saying that Brother Xian has lost his creative spark, haha. I can only say that you people are just on the lower level. Brother Xian's level is in the atmosphere.

"Don't believe me? Come on, let me show you! Behind me is the main entrance to our building complex. Let me show you what this deafening music is!"

As the camera panned, everyone saw a group of middle-aged women happily flying freely at the entrance of the residential area.

That's right, these middle-aged women are dancing to "Free Flying"!

"You think that's all? Come on, I'll ride my electric scooter and show you just how many square dance groups are dancing to this song!"

Cat Brother's camera suddenly sped up. As the electric scooter moved forward, Cat Brother passed one residential area after another. Wherever he went, Zeng Yi's deep "yo-yo-yo" sound could be heard.

The middle-aged women's faces were filled with confident and happy smiles as they danced to the music, without the slightest sense of incongruity.

In just two short days, "Free Flying" seemed to have taken over all the square dance venues.

"Alright, facts speak louder than words. I just want to show you just how popular this song really is!"

I'm Cat Bro, remember to like and follow! See you next time!
