Chapter 436 Bullying the Tang Dynasty's Music Scene – No One Else!

The release of "The Dream Chaser" once again propelled Ye Xian to the top of the trending searches.

Many fans have become accustomed to Ye Xian's hit songs one after another. In fact, with Ye Xian's current fame, even if he wrote a catchy pop song, he would still have a large following.

Fortunately, Ye Xian's songs are becoming more and more enjoyable to listen to.

[Don't vote, I can still show off: I've been playing this song on repeat all day. It has a stronger sense of time and vicissitude than Ye Xian's other songs. It inspires everyone to move forward amidst the sadness. As expected of my brother Xian!]

[You only realize how ugly you are when you need it most: Whenever I'm in pain and confused, I listen to Xian Ge's songs, from his early "A Person Like Me" to his later "Invisible Wings," and now "Dream Chaser." I feel that Xian Ge is gradually clarifying his life goals, and so am I.]

[An anonymous netizen commented: We are all dream chasers, always on the road. Having dreams is a precious thing.]

[He's utterly useless: Xian Ge will always be the one who understands youth and dreams best, and he'll always be the most successful dreamer! Looking at Xian Ge, I can't help but want to join in! The problem is, I just want to lie down and not join in!]

……

The online discussion wasn't limited to praising the song. Some fans flocked to the Weibo accounts of Sun Ying, Li Ming, and others, tagging them to release a song of the same caliber, like Liu Bohan, to be more manly and go head-to-head with Ye Xian.

Sun Ying and Li Ming, among others, were eager to respond, but they couldn't come up with any suitable works for the time being. Just like Hua Yuyu, Sun Ying was frantically collecting songs!

He even extended invitations to top composers and lyricists in the industry, offering millions of dollars and even giving up most of the song's revenue, just to obtain a song of the caliber of "Rakshasa Mirage" or "Fairy Tale".

Unfortunately, it's not easy to acquire such good songs in a short period of time.

Moreover, the song "Rakshasa Mirage" is extremely well-written and cannot be written by ordinary people. These big-name lyricists and composers are confident that they can write a song similar to "Fairy Tale".

However, the time was too short.

However, these big-name songwriters were not willing to be overshadowed by a junior, so they all put in their best efforts, going everywhere to gather inspiration, and striving to write a song that could suppress Ye Xian in the shortest possible time.

A mere junior dares to bully the Tang Dynasty's music scene, thinking it has no one to rely on!

……

Sun Ying, Li Ming, and others were not idle either. They contacted various big names in the music industry time and time again, preparing to completely blacklist Ye Xian, from awards to variety show performances.

It might seem a bit weak to say that Liu Bohan and Liu Fengying initially threatened to blacklist Ye Xian.

Now that Sun Ying and Li Ming have joined forces to suppress Ye Xian, no one can directly confront their power. Even Kuaiyin, the official internet technology company, is feeling the pressure.

However, Kuaiyin's official stance is to ignore this, because they know better than anyone who can bring them benefits.

A single concert brought in hundreds of millions of yuan in revenue for Kuaiyin. Ye Xian's earning power is something that even the veteran singers combined can hardly match!

Moreover, at the concert, Ye Xian unreasonably released hit songs such as "Encounter," "The Most Romantic Thing," "Walking the Road of Life," and "The First Dream," showcasing his sharp teeth to the world through Ding Ding, Liu Xiaoxiao, Jiang Tian, ​​and Grassland Bandit.

Subsequently, his love song trilogy, including "Fairy Tale," "First Time," and "Promise," solidified his position in the love song field, breaking through the constraints of young fans and beginning to spread to a wider age group of fans.

One concert, ten hit songs, dominated the top ten of the new song charts and hot song charts on Yunmi Music and Kuaiyin. Kuaiyin knows its backend big data better than anyone else. Why should such a person be suppressed?

Suppressing them, do you think a few of you will bring benefits to the platform?

Based on the zombie powder that you, Ai Lele and Hua Yuyu, bought?

Dare to start a live stream and sell products? Dare to sell tickets with real-name verification and entry like Ye Xian? Dare to hold a real paid online concert? Top influencers? Bah! I can expose your true colors in a minute.

Based on your utterly worthless reputation, Sun Ying?

Haven't you seen your comment section practically been flooded with comments? Everyone respects you as a veteran in the music industry, but that doesn't mean you still have the ability to lead the music scene. Just keep resting on your laurels and making a living off your old songs; you can't navigate the modern world!

Are you trying to sell nostalgia based on your washed-up reputation, Li Ming?

Who buys into nostalgia these days? Your old fans have all switched sides to the Grassland Bandits. Do they even know that they sold all their Sea Lion Music stock because of your boycott?

Kuaiyin might temporarily suppress Ye Xian due to their shared interests, but a complete ban? No way! Believe me, if you ban him, Ye Xian will be poached by another platform just like he was with Haishi Music and Yunmi Music back then?

If you push Ye Xian too far, do you believe he'd dare to launch his own app?

This has happened many times on the Kuaiyin platform!

Kuaiyin is the leading short video platform, but not the only one.

The higher-ups aren't that stupid.

Back then, Sea Lion Music's Shi Lezhi only wanted to pressure the contract, not to blacklist Ye Xian. However, this move has kept Sea Lion Music's stock price evergreen.

Learning from past mistakes, the official Kuaiyin account said "good, good" to everyone, but secretly passed the message to Ding Zhan, thus currying favor with Ye Xian.

……

The lack of cooperation from Kuaiyin rendered Sun Ying and others' efforts to suppress the music somewhat ineffective.

Some veteran musicians and big names who had initially agreed to collaborate hesitated and chose to withdraw.

With such strong creativity and such a wide range of creative themes, Ye Xian has surpassed them by far in songwriting and composition.

Can such a person suppress others for a time, or for a lifetime?

Times have changed. It's no longer an era where someone can be easily silenced with radio, newspapers, or television programs.

If Ye Xian doesn't have many works, then banning him wouldn't be a problem.

However, Ye Xian is no longer an unknown nobody. His works have even been used and sung by the Sixth Princess. You can remove his songs, but do you dare to remove the Sixth Princess's songs? Aren't you getting a little confused about who's the king and who's the queen?

If you blacklist someone like that, it means you've completely offended the Sixth Princess, and you can just sit back and wait to be dealt with.

Who doesn't know that Ye Xian's nickname is "Sixth Prince Consort"?

They might try to manipulate Ye Xian with awards they hold absolute power over, but it's clear to everyone that Ye Xian doesn't care about those so-called awards at all.

After all that trouble, Sun Ying and the others suddenly realized that the only way to deal with Ye Xian, as netizens had suggested, was to "go head-to-head."

If you can't defeat Ye Xian with a song, then no matter how many actions you take, it will only make you a laughing stock.

And so, everything returned to square one.

All the songwriters in the industry were bombarded with offers of high salaries: "Come out and work! As long as you can write a song that beats Ye Xian, you can get a million-dollar reward!"

Amidst all this commotion, Ye Xian's "Dream Chaser" once again viciously bared its claws at the music scene.

This claw, though seemingly light, delivered another hard slap to the faces of Sun Ying and the others.
