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

Chapter 373 This is not a song, it's culture!

[Out of thin air: I specifically went to Sun Ying's live stream and requested this song, but I just got kicked out! Old Wang, your music review this time wasn't sharp enough! Go check out the music analysis on Kuaishou, it's much more thorough than yours!]

[A Puddle of Mud: Old Wang, I've always liked you so much, but your writing is too flowery. Who's being polite? Everyone knows who those Ma Hu and You Niao are now! Do you know why Brother Xian used suonas as background music? For them, a funeral procession!]

[Chrysanthemum abrasion: Exactly, too flat! Thumbs down! Look at those marketing accounts, they've already dragged out the names of Sun Ying, Li Ming, Ai Lele, Hua Yuyu, and all those rappers hiding in the shadows who were secretly criticizing Xian Ge for not understanding rap, and now they're being dragged out and whipped too.]

[Fanpin: Let's all keep quiet. Old Wang still has to make a living in the music criticism circle. If we name names, his account will probably get banned.]

……

Old Wang's fans mocked him, saying he was too conservative this time, which made Old Wang so angry that his liver hurt.

I'd love to point my finger at those people and yell at them, but this is a huge deal. We've already gone this far, skirting the line. If I say another word, I'll be taken to court.

Old Wang had some reservations, but Cat Brother's short videos didn't have as many.

"Hi everyone, this is Cat Bro. It's time for our usual gossip session. Those of you who want me to clean up the square, just go to hell. I don't take easy money."

Brothers, Brother Xian has been on a killing spree these past two days, and I'm getting really excited watching him. I wish I could join in and fight my way in and out of the fray.

The origin of this matter should already be known to everyone, so I won't repeat it here. I just want to say that some people's behavior is too ugly. What kind of skill is it to bully newcomers in the music industry by taking advantage of one's seniority?

A song lyric, "Red wings, black painted skin, green embroidered rooster comb, gold inlaid hooves," insulted four people. Who are these four people? Please help by typing their names in the comments section. I believe you can figure them out without me having to do the digging.

I just want to ask, do you guys have any shame? Wouldn't it be better if everyone just did their own thing? Since his debut, apart from a personal feud with Liu*han, has Brother Xian ever had any interaction with anyone else in the music industry?

The music industry is a place where talent speaks for itself. Instead of just spouting nonsense, why not dare to confront Brother Xian like Liu Han did?

Although Liu Han ended up working at a sewing machine, he still bravely issued a challenge. Although he ultimately failed miserably, he created five graduation season anthems for us music fans. What kind of spirit is that? Selflessness!

So, those of you, stop babbling and stop calling on your friends to wave flags and shout slogans. Come on, everyone write a song. It doesn't have to be super high-level. Something like "Rakshasa Mirage" will do!

If Brother Xian insults you, you can insult him back. We're all civilized people; using songs without profanity to insult each other makes us seem more sophisticated, don't you think?

If you can't write, then shut up! Go back to where you came from, don't embarrass yourselves here, you're dirtying our eyes and defiling our ears.

Do you really think we fans can't understand Brother Xian's song? Do you really think we can't appreciate high art?

This poem, "Rakshasa Mirage," is full of gems. You bunch of scheming, despicable people, you're all birds of a feather, using your power to distort the truth while harboring malicious intentions, acting both right and wrong, unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood, beauty and ugliness, good and evil. You're neither chickens nor donkeys, a bunch of shameful things that can't stand the light of day.

Well, Wittgenstein was from the United States. I haven't read his works. If anyone knows what this reference is, please type it in the comments.

And Sea Lion Music, don't think that Brother Xian didn't scold you in this song. Hehe, how much traffic and revenue did Brother Xian's more than 50 songs contribute to you?

Don't bring up your huge music library. Go look at your hot song charts this year. Who's dominating them? Half of the top 100 this year are songs by Xian Ge!

Putting aside whether he should be given an award, he immediately demanded that Brother Xian and all his artists perform songs at the event! Can't he have any shame? To this day, Brother Xian's contract is still the most basic musician's revenue sharing contract. He can't even come up with the revenue sharing contract that a second-tier star should have, let alone the fact that Brother Xian is already at the first-tier level.

Everything I've said is verifiable, and I'm not afraid of you suing me!

The stock price has hit its daily limit down, and you don't even want to think about why? I bet you all, Haishi Music's stock price will plummet again on Monday! The aunties are already ready to buy, and I believe there will be other righteous people who will step in!

Well, I've talked a lot today, and I really enjoyed venting. But that's all for now. If you liked this, please like and follow. I'm Cat Bro, see you next time.

Oh right, I forgot to mention, I booked a VIP seat at Brother Xian's concert in advance with the band leader! Haha, be envious!

[The top contender for food in kindergarten: Cat Bro! His comments are sharp, and he's even willing to curse out loud! Speaking of which, shouldn't this song be added to the Beijing Conservatory of Music's archives as a key exam topic next semester? And what about the Philosophy and Tang Dynasty Language departments? Shouldn't they consider it too?]

[Top Elementary School Student: As a person from the Tang Dynasty, I feel ashamed that I have to look up translations to listen to songs in the Tang language! These are no longer just songs, they are culture that we need to learn!]

The only sentence I understood was that the protagonist's name is Ma Ji, which is probably taken from Cao Cao's famous line, "An old steed in its stall still aspires to gallop a thousand miles." Brother Xian is expressing his own ambition! How about that, my reading comprehension is barely passable, right?

[Going back to kindergarten to be a top student: This is a dead end. Accepting the challenge means losing, not accepting it also means losing. Speaking out means losing, not speaking out means losing. Responding means losing, not responding means losing. Silence is losing, pretending to be deaf and dumb is losing, playing dumb is losing.]

[Retired elementary school student: I didn't understand at first, but then I saw him "turn his back before even speaking," hahaha, I understand now! The most brilliant thing about Brother Xian is that his songs don't insult anyone, but the comments section is full of people abusing him!]

……

Over the weekend, the internet was flooded with discussions about "Rakshasa Mirage".

The negative comments that Sun Ying, Li Ming, and others rallied to post, hiring online trolls and fan groups, were quickly drowned out by the participation of casual fans.

Tap water has always been the most unsolvable problem.

No matter how much your online trolls try to stir things up, the tap water will wash it all away.

Now, "Rakshasa Mirage" has become a hot topic of conversation, with everyone trying to figure out how many allusions Ye Xian used in the song, which ones came from his book "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio", and which ones came from other books.

As a result, the book "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" began to sell well, and some related products also began to sell like hotcakes. "Drunken Wine" instantly became a new favorite, with supply falling short of demand.

Incidentally, "Dream of the Red Chamber" and its related products also began to sell very well.

This phenomenon left many people stunned.

Everyone thought Ye Xian would lose this battle against music industry veterans, music industry leaders, and music platforms. Who would have thought that Ye Xian would not only suffer no losses, but also stimulate the sales of his products.

Conversely, the comment sections of Sun Ying, Li Ming, and others were almost completely flooded with comments.

Quietly, a comment began to spread rapidly.

[Latest report: Sun Ying's Kuaishou comments have exceeded 50! Li Ming's Kuaishou comments have exceeded 40.]
