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

Chapter 280 Trust Brother Xian, and you'll gain eternal life!

The release of Cat Brother's short video caused an uproar.

Even the late-night snack enthusiasts were amazed.

[Working late into the night: Wow, at first I thought this song was a failure by Xian Ge, and I was even thinking of spending some money to buy him some trending topics to clean up the square dance scene, but I didn't expect this song to actually become a square dance anthem?]

[I've heard that removing makeup is murder: I can testify that on my way home from get off work today, I heard at least three or four square dance groups dancing to this song! The rest were all dancing to "The Song of the Peony"!]

[Limitless Idiot: What's going on? Is Brother Xian really in the atmosphere? Or am I just out of touch? How can I not appreciate such a catchy song? You know, I'm a Gen Z! I'm only 21!]

[The Dream of 2 Million Virgins: I told you long ago, this song is really catchy, but nobody listened! My mom has been playing it on repeat for two days straight! I'm totally obsessed!]

……

Amidst numerous controversies, "Free Flight" unexpectedly became a viral hit.

Square dancing has become a viral sensation across the country, as can be seen with the naked eye.

This rapid spread, like wildfire, stunned everyone.

The fearless bandits on the grasslands, who had been on edge for days, finally felt completely at ease at this moment.

Sure enough, believing in Brother Xian grants eternal life!

……

That's how square dancing became popular.

If one group starts dancing, all the square dance groups in the city will follow suit within a day.

Within three days, no square dance team in the country will be left behind.

Everyone's dance moves may be different, but when it comes to song selection, we emphasize taste.

There are specific rules about what songs to dance to.

Most songs are songs that older women wouldn't bother dancing to.

The dance tutorial video for "Free Flight" was also released at the same time.

To everyone's surprise, this song has truly become a hit for square dancing.

Following closely behind, the second single from the bandit group "The Grassland Bandits," titled "Above the Moon," was officially released on May 31.

The two consecutive songs combining rap and folk music stunned the entire music scene.

"How can a song like this become a hit? Is there no justice in this world? We can find internationally renowned composers, use the most popular electronic music and chords, and produce songs worth millions, and none of them would be as popular as this!"

"Isn't Ye Xian going a bit too far by doing this?"

"What's so excessive? Their ability to capture the market proves they're truly capable!"

"The problem is, this kind of songwriting is so low-class! It's neither rap nor folk, just a complete Frankenstein's monster!"

"A Frankenstein's monster? Whose songs aren't Frankenstein's monsters these days? As long as the stitching is good and the market accepts it, then it's fine!"

"We can't let him ruin our rap reputation like this, brothers, let's get him!"

……

Many circles in the music industry are discussing this matter and analyzing the reasons for the explosive popularity of Ye Xian's type of songs. Some people believe that Ye Xian is obviously using his influence to disrupt the market, while others believe that Ye Xian is acting recklessly and ruining the songs.

Few people approve of it, many oppose it, and there are many undercurrents brewing.

Fans and passersby were also stunned and started discussing it heatedly.

[Matcha Soy Milk: I'm saying, is this kind of tacky trend going on now? Catchy rap paired with a booming vocal? I feel like I'm falling behind the times.]

[My Chinese language skills were taught by the PE teacher: You're not falling behind the times, you're falling behind Brother Xian's 16 steps! This upbeat square dance anthem is truly eye-opening!]

[Wind Blows on Butt, Feels Cold: You guys are wrong. If you said Brother Xian's two songs weren't good, that would be one thing, but now you can hear square dancing to these two songs everywhere. That's the aunties' approval!]

[You only realize how ugly you are when you need it most: My mom made me pay to download these two songs! Her dance team said they haven't had such energetic background music in a long time! I just want to ask, Brother Xian, how many more of your square dance anthems do you have? Can you please release some new songs to cleanse our ears?]

……

With the groundwork laid by "Free Flying", the public acceptance of "Above the Moon" has increased significantly, and the grassland bandits have quickly gained their first wave of fans, breaking 130 million in three days.

The older women have become obsessed with these two.

Of course, there were also many fans of the late-night snack group here. Many of them watched the live stream that day and developed a liking for the two of them, so they followed them.

Datang Entertainment seized the opportunity to package the two, and the "Grassland Bandits" duo quickly conquered the lower-tier market.

This unconventional approach, which doesn't target the mainstream youth demographic, has caught the attention of many entertainment companies and MCN agencies.

Wonderful!

The youth market is already a red ocean!

The lower-tier markets, particularly for middle-aged and elderly women, are completely untapped!

Gold, people buy it whenever they want.

People buy houses whenever they want.

I'll buy funds even if they don't make money.

……

The purchasing power of the aunties in the Tang Dynasty is truly formidable!

As the heads of the household, they hold all the money in their hands!

As a result, a large number of singers began to flock to this niche market.

At this point, even if there are still many voices in the music scene, as long as you can make money, capital doesn't care if you're a Frankenstein's monster or if you're tacky or trendy.

Success in one song might just be a matter of luck.

If both songs are successful, it proves that the middle-aged women market likes this kind of rustic and trendy style.

For a time, songs like "Free Flying" became all the rage.

……

6 month 1 day.

Fashion Magazine was launched.

This issue just went viral and immediately became a trending topic.

#Ye Xian on the cover of "Fashion" magazine for the fourth time

#ShenWenIsCrazy

#The relationship between Shen Wen and Ye Xian

……

Appearing on the cover of "Fashion" magazine four times, the entertainment industry seems numb to it all.

"Are you sure Shen Wen isn't Ye Xian's mistress? Even if she is, shouldn't you at least avoid suspicion? This is issue four! The third-ranked fashion magazine in the Tang Dynasty, and you're just going to ignore it like this?"

"Breaking news: Fashion Magazine has risen in the rankings and is now the second-ranked fashion magazine in China."

"Does this Ye Xian really have that much popularity? Even top idols and young heartthrobs can't be promoted like this forever, can they? Are they leaving no room for other celebrities to compete?"

"I heard that the board of directors of *Fashion* magazine had some reservations, but didn't stop it because this issue of *Fashion* performed very well. However, Ye Xian's reputation has declined recently, and I guess Shen Wen regrets giving him the cover again!"

"A decline? I think he's expanding his reputation again! Now he's appealing to all ages! He's no longer limited to young people; this guy is famous throughout the entire entertainment industry this year!"

"The style of *Fashion* magazine is becoming increasingly unpredictable. Using a dragon boat as the cover—is it trying to follow the trend of *The Royal Inspectorate*? Then why bother making a fashion magazine at all?"

……

The cover of the new issue features a photo of Ye Xian energetically rowing a dragon boat.

"A man should strive to be strong."

Five large red handwritten characters are arranged horizontally at the top of the image.

The surging river water splashed into the air, soaking Ye Xian's Cape No. 7 team uniform.

Ye Xian's muscles bulged, his eyes fixed firmly ahead, and all his strength was released at this moment.

This photo is completely different from the makeup and styling that "Fashion" magazine used to focus on; it highlights the beauty of strength.

It's like an old-fashioned sports magazine.

But this style of photo, when placed on the cover of "Fashion", is refreshing.

Because below "A man should be self-reliant" is a line of prose: "A true man of the Tang Dynasty should brave the winds and waves, and strive for his ideals!"
