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

Chapter 452 A brief demonstration of my singing skills

After the casual chat, Ye Xian's newly signed artists, Ogura Watami, Yuri, and Deng Qiqi, took the stage to perform.

The three of them were no longer new faces, but Ye Xian kept bringing them on live streams to help them become more familiar with the public.

The versatile voice actress Ogura Watami, the ballad singer Yuri, and the powerful vocalist Deng Qiqi all have their own nicknames and personas. As Ye Xian opened up the copyrights of all his songs to them, allowing them to use them during live streams, each of the three has gained their own fan base.

They stream live in their own livestream room every day, and have a large number of regular fans watching online.

However, to their surprise, Ye Xian had not yet fulfilled his promise to create a custom song for them.

In the eyes of their relatives, friends and fans, they have boarded the big ship of Qiuye Yanxuan, and they will definitely be able to take off as quickly as Li Xin and Duan Fei. Even if they don't become a phenomenal girl group like Yinwu Girls, they will definitely be able to take off.

But no matter how long they waited, Ye Xian never fulfilled his promise, only allowing them to cover all his songs.

In fact, this is a qualification that all artists of Qiuye Yanxuan possess, and it cannot be considered preferential treatment.

The three of them had also discussed in private why Brother Xian, who always kept his promises, would act this way.

If we're not going to put in the effort to cultivate them, the company has opened up resources for them in performance classes, vocal classes, and dance classes, treating them the same way they treat Li Xin and others. Whenever there are performance opportunities, Ding Zhan will definitely send a message in the Qiuye Yanxuan artist group to ask for everyone's willingness.

If we're talking about dedicated training, Ye Xian never inquired about their progress, and even their agents only urged them to keep learning every day.

This atmosphere made them unsure of what Ye Xian was thinking. However, the three of them shared a similar idea: since they were already there, they might as well make the best of it. Brother Xian had spent millions to buy out his contract, so he certainly wasn't just thinking about keeping them as a bottom-fishing stock.

After the three of them sang another song, and were about to sit quietly to the side as usual, Ye Xian suddenly asked, "You three have been with the company for over half a month now, how are you feeling?"

When the boss asked the question, all three of them were a little surprised. Ogura Watami was the first to react: "I feel that the company atmosphere is great. Every senior colleague takes good care of us. They will remind us of the important points in class and take us out to play in our free time."

Deng Qiqi said with a grin, "The study load is so heavy! From the moment I open my eyes until I go to bed at night, it feels like I'm studying all the time."

Ye Xian glanced at Yuri, who, surprisingly, seemed a little shy despite being a 1.9-meter-tall man: "I feel the same way."

Ye Xian smiled, gave each of them a piece of the roasted chicken feet he had prepared, and gestured for them to eat and chat at the same time.

"You've been here for so long, and I haven't kept my promise to write you a song. Aren't you angry?"

The fans in the live stream burst out laughing when they heard that.

[Don't vote for me, I can still show off: As the boss, if you ask your employees if they're angry, even if they are, they wouldn't dare say so!]

[Let me fart for you to chase after: I feel like Brother Xian has gone a bit too far. He promised to write a song for me, but he hasn't delivered yet. It's obviously a scam!]

[The scumbag who's gone berserk: How could Brother Xian possibly cheat them after signing them with real money? If he's not paying now, Brother Xian definitely has his reasons.]

[Is being able to sleep excessively a superpower? Could it be that Ye Xian has run out of creative ideas and can't write new songs, which is why he hasn't kept his promise?]

……

Seeing the various comments in the live stream, Ye Xian knew that the three newcomers must have some thoughts as well. He explained simply, "The reason we haven't given them the prize yet is to allow you to focus on improving your singing skills. You don't think that just because you got into the top three, your singing skills are amazing, do you?"

The three of them quickly shook their heads.

The first Late Night Singing Contest sounds like a singing competition, but singing ability really wasn't the primary factor in their victory.

On the Kuaiyin platform, viewers' first impression of you and their perception of your persona are more important.

Ogura Watami's character is very distinct; she's a versatile voice actress.

Yuri, a 1.9-meter-tall giant, loves to sing love songs in a soft, gentle voice, a contrast that is quite endearing.

Despite being a petite girl, Deng Qiqi possesses an incredible lung capacity, which has won the hearts of many male and female viewers.

When Liu Yiming and Hairun failed to win the audience vote, their singing skills were only one aspect; the most crucial reason was that people didn't have any memorable traits about them.

There are too many rappers and ordinary singers like them. If it weren't for their good looks, they probably wouldn't have even made it to the finals.

Ogura Watami and the other two were fully aware of this.

Ye Xian continued, "Before Li Xin, Duan Fei, Chen Xu, Li Hong, and the five girls released their songs, they all went through the same stage you are at now. In fact, the five girls put in ten times more effort than you!"

The three of them gradually began to understand.

The fans in the live stream suddenly realized what was going on.

Ye Xian was never the kind of capitalist who would exploit others. He wanted the three of them to succeed and didn't want them to stagnate, which is why he spent more than half a month tempering their temperament.

In fact, if it weren't for the fear that the three's popularity would fade away, Ye Xian would have been prepared to keep pushing them along.

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Ye Xian pulled out three sheets of paper from under the table: "Here, the song for you was written a long time ago."

The three men's eyes lit up immediately.

Yuri's hands trembled with excitement; the 1.9-meter-tall man would probably have burst into tears if he hadn't been trying his best to control his emotions.

Ogura Watami's childlike voice and Deng Qiqi's clipped voice rang out almost simultaneously: "Thank you, boss!"

[Thunderbolt Troublemaker: Wow, why do I have this feeling of being in a foot massage parlor? I've never seen such high-class foot massage girls before!]

[Fanpin: Hahaha, so Brother Xian had already written this. To be honest, meeting Brother Xian is really their blessing. He didn't hastily harvest their acting careers. If it were me, I would have forced them to participate in commercial performances every day.]

[Quzhiyoudao: What a pity, I thought I'd hear these three songs today. How about, Brother Xian, you reluctantly give us a demo version so we can check the quality? If it's not good, you can write three new ones.]

[A renowned poet: Your calculations are so cunning, the beads have even reached my province, Shilian. But this time, I agree with you!]

……

Seeing the three of them so engrossed in the music that they couldn't help but hum along, Ye Xian felt their empathy and knew they had been waiting for this day for a long time.

For a singer, it's incredibly rare to find a song that's tailor-made for them.

However, as the boss, how could he let them get the song so easily?

Are you satisfied with the new song?

"Satisfied! Satisfied!"

The three of them struggled to shift their gaze from the sheet music to Ye Xian, only to see him suddenly stand up.

"If you want to release the new song, there's a test you must pass."

The three of them suddenly had a feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

The fans in the live stream room were already shouting. Sure enough, it was still Brother Xian, still Brother Xian who was up to something.

Ye Xian walked in front of the live broadcast camera, picked up the microphone and said: "Some time ago, some people questioned my singing skills. I didn't really want to respond, but these people were too aggressive. Today, taking advantage of the opportunity to assess Du Mei and the others, I will give a brief demonstration of my singing skills."

"Well, Watami, Yuri, Deng Qiqi, I will only allow you to release your new songs if you can reach my level in the song I'm about to sing."

"If you can't reach that level, then you'd better go and take proper vocal lessons!"
