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

Chapter 420 premiered at 8.9 minutes.

"Dream of the Red Chamber" became a hit.

Overnight, it seemed like everyone was talking about "Dream of the Red Chamber".

On Kuaishou, marketing accounts have been releasing short videos, but due to copyright restrictions, they can only cut small segments and add short essays to promote "Dream of the Red Chamber".

Some of this water was purchased by the production crew, but most of it was tap water.

#Jia Baoyu and Ye Xian

#Lin Daiyu Chen Xu

#Wang Xifeng Jiang Tian

#Xue Baochai Liu Xiaoxiao

The four main characters have all become the hottest topics, and veteran actors such as Jia Yucun, Grandmother Jia, and Granny Liu have also become the subject of much discussion.

In just three episodes, the extravagant lifestyle of the Jia family, the infighting within the wealthy family, the details of romantic relationships, and the ugliness of human nature are all vividly portrayed.

Original fans are a minority; most are casual fans and fan club members who watched the first three episodes because of Ye Xian, Chen Xu, Jiang Tian, ​​and Liu Xiaoxiao. Many people felt unsatisfied after watching the first three episodes.

[The Dream of 300 Million Virgins: Urging for an update! Urging for an update! TuKu.com, speed things up! We know you definitely have more drafts in reserve!]

[Humanity knows no bounds: I heard the first ten episodes have already been edited out. If you ask us to give us a premium membership for early access now, I'd be more than willing.]

[I've heard that removing makeup is a form of murder: Jia Baoyu is clearly a scumbag. I think Jiang Tian's portrayal of Wang Xifeng is really good, with a distinct personality. If she can maintain this level of performance, I feel that Jiang Tian could win an award for this role.]

[Working late into the night: Xiaoxiao's Xue Baochai is pretty good too! I haven't read the original, can someone tell me how this love triangle ends? I'm afraid I'm shipping the wrong person!]

……

There were those who praised it, and naturally, there were those who criticized it.

[You're stepping on my leg hair: I feel this drama's plot is too chaotic, there are too many characters, and I can't understand the main storyline at all! Is this a romantic period drama or a historical palace intrigue drama? It feels like it's all just mundane family dramas, a complete mess.]

[Thinking Money and Thinking Thickly: This is clearly something Ye Xian used to fleece his followers. I heard it's adapted from one of his books, and they even released a wine under the book's name. These days, internet celebrities will stop at nothing to fleece their followers. What kind of good book can someone who was expelled from university, especially a music major, write?]

[The Broken Earthworm: I thought Ye Xian was alright before, after all, he wrote a few good songs. But now, looking at him, he can't escape the circle of capital exploiting people. No wonder, since no celebrity in the entertainment industry has a clean record.]

[Wang Batian: The only redeeming quality of this drama is the acting of Jiang Tian and Liu Xiaoxiao. The story is fragmented, Chen Xu's Lin Daiyu is sharp-tongued and mean, and Ye Xian's Jia Baoyu is the epitome of a scumbag. I feel nauseous just watching it. I don't know how a drama like this passed censorship.]

……

Some of those who are pessimistic are simply uncomfortable watching "Dream of the Red Chamber," but many more are professional trolls. Many of them haven't even watched a single episode before they start spouting nonsense.

At the same time, there were many more voices in the industry.

"Even the Sixth Princess can't resist taking the route of becoming a traffic star. Wasn't she supposed to be incredibly aloof before? Why didn't she cast any classically trained actors for the male and female leads this time?"

"I originally thought Ye Xian was just playing around, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big fuss. However, the plot of this drama is so bad that it will only be popular for a few days at most. After the marketing expenses are burned through, it will probably end up being a barrage of criticism."

"Exactly! I saw that the opening rating on Douban has been boosted to 8.9. They really don't know how to restrain themselves! This drama is neither a tribute drama, nor a niche drama, nor does it have any kissing scenes, nor does it have a particularly prominent main storyline. For such a terrible drama to be boosted to 8.9, Ye Xian's fans are indeed quite powerful."

"Fans will prop up the ratings; even the worst show can get a high score. Who in the industry believes Douban's ratings? It's just fooling casual fans. At this rate, with so many characters and so many storylines, this show is very likely to fall apart. I reckon Tuku will suffer a huge setback!"

"Let's curb their enthusiasm, otherwise they'll come and dig up even the worst sweet potatoes from the fields. How are we supposed to survive then?"

"I've already asked film critics to review it and lower the score a bit. 8.9 is really unreasonable."

……

The Sixth Princess's Tang Dynasty Entertainment does indeed wield considerable influence in the entertainment industry, but industry insiders have always been opposed to it because they feel that the royal family is taking away their business. Therefore, the Sixth Princess's collaboration with Ye Xian was instinctively resisted by industry insiders.

But the voices of critics and insiders could not suppress the complete rise of "Dream of the Red Chamber".

In just three days, the search index and keyword index related to "Dream of the Red Chamber" soared to the top of the popularity rankings.

Ye Xian and Chen Xu became the hottest TV stars overnight.

Jiang Tian and Liu Xiaoxiao also made their way back to becoming top-tier actresses with this drama.

Director Jia adjusted the filming schedule appropriately, giving these celebrities time to appear on various variety shows, further boosting the popularity of "Dream of the Red Chamber".

Many variety shows are happy to extend invitations to the "Dream of the Red Chamber" production team, but they all have one requirement: Ye Xian must be present.

As the hottest rising star right now, Ye Xian is definitely a guarantee of high viewership ratings. As long as we can invite Ye Xian and make his variety show debut, even a popular variety show can definitely break viewership records.

Unfortunately, Ye Xian is currently finishing up his scenes in "Dream of the Red Chamber" and preparing for "Hello Mr. Billionaire," so he simply cannot spare the time to participate in the variety show.

Fortunately, Jiang Tian and Liu Xiaoxiao are both high-profile celebrities, and Chen Xu, Li Xin, and Duan Fei have quite a few fans. Moreover, a group of beautiful women went to participate, each with a hit song to her name, which was enough to generate a lot of buzz.

In addition, as everyone knows, "Dream of the Red Chamber" was filmed and edited simultaneously, and Ye Xian, as the main character, was indeed unable to spare the time, so some variety shows reluctantly agreed to Ye Xian's absence.

Unfortunately, variety shows also need buzz and popularity. Now that "Dream of the Red Chamber" has the potential to become a huge hit, some variety shows with declining ratings can only accept it reluctantly.

……

Ye Xian was aware of the emergence of some trolls and the actions of people in the industry. He knew that the entertainment industry was a murky place and not easy to navigate. Fortunately, he had the support of the Sixth Princess to shield him from the storm, so he tried his best to remain unaffected by these voices and devote himself fully to the filming of "Dream of the Red Chamber".

After the concert, Ye Xian continued to update his short videos every three days as usual. However, he hasn't released any new songs recently. Instead, he has been filming short videos for "The Taste of Summer," "Fairy Tale," "The First Time," and "The Promise," and is updating them every nine days according to his previous schedule.

Out of personal motives, Ye Xian remade the music videos of three songs from another world: "Fairy Tale," "First Time," and "Promise."

These three songs, without their music videos, are like soulless, devoid of emotion.

The release of the first music video for "Fairy Tale" immediately caused a huge uproar.

#Ye Xian is a ruthless and unreasonable person.

# Ye Xian turned "Fairy Tale" into a tragedy

#Ye Xian, come out and face your death!

With 70 million fans, Ye Xian was almost trending on social media for all the wrong reasons.
