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

Chapter 455 When you watch diving, do you only watch the final splash?

The topic of "Tante" veered off-topic towards him, which infuriated Sun Ying. He kept urging his manager, Sister Zhang, to quickly find someone to write the song. However, Sister Zhang's response nearly drove him mad.

"The lyricist and composer who had promised to write the song made excuses and couldn't do it for the time being. Then I approached several well-known lyricists and composers in the industry, but none of them were willing to take on the job."

"Why? Why did this happen?"

Sun Ying was furious. She had paid a high price to have someone write it, so why would someone refuse to write it?

Sister Zhang's voice carried a hint of helplessness: "You wrote the song title a bit too bluntly. These cultured people can tell at a glance that you are criticizing Ye Xian for hiding behind the Sixth Princess. Everyone is afraid of being associated with the Sixth Princess if the song is like this."

The entertainment industry has its opinions about Princess Six's overreaching influence, but that doesn't mean everyone is stupid.

Some investments, competitions, awards, and variety shows can be openly or secretly blocked by others, and even if the Sixth Princess has the strength, she may not be able to use it. But if a song like this is written, then just wait for the Sixth Princess to make things difficult for her every day!

Sun Ying was furious but helpless. His education level was limited, and it would be better to find an AI to write it than to write it himself.

After thinking it over, Sun Ying stamped her foot and said, "200 million! Tell people in the industry, 200 million for a song, sign a confidentiality agreement, we'll buy all the copyrights to the lyrics and music, and we'll absolutely not let the outside world know who wrote this song."

"200 million?"

Hearing this price, Sister Zhang was also taken aback. She knew that even well-known songwriters in the industry only earned two or three hundred thousand yuan for a song, and most of the revenue was distributed as a share of the song's earnings.

Now Sun Ying is offering 200 million yuan so readily; that price is definitely tempting to some people.

"Okay, I'll contact people in the industry right away and try to finish writing this song next month."

Sun Ying nodded and instructed the person on the other end of the phone, "You have to be quick! He has now written another song called 'Tantative.' I've heard it, and it's definitely not a song that just anyone can sing. So you have to be careful about controlling the comments. I'm going to stay on vacation and not go back."

……

Sister Zhang hung up the phone and sighed.

Controlling the comments this time will be a bit difficult.

If someone in "Rakshasa Mirage" insults another person, they can control the comments and say that the other person is immoral, has a narrow mind, and has poor character.

So this time it's purely a singing challenge.

Ye Xian showed no emotion or provocation; he simply demonstrated his singing skills.

However, it was this simple demonstration that allowed everyone to witness his power.

What should the commentators say?

No matter what you say, people will say you're afraid to accept the challenge!

This blatant and overt scheme is simply unsolvable.

After thinking for a long time, Sister Zhang had no choice but to inform the fan club leader to try to ignore the other party, and to defend them if the fan club went too far.

There's nothing we can do about it.

After all, that song is truly powerful.

……

Li Ming hasn't been having a good time lately.

The song "Rakshasa Mirage" ruined his reputation in the industry, and now another song, "Tante," has been released. Many people are tagging him and asking him to come out and take on the challenge. He was so angry that he cursed on Weibo, "You want me, an old man in my fifties or sixties, to take on such a difficult song? Do you want me to die?"

Netizens joked in the comments, "Since you can't sing anymore, you should just retire properly and stop jumping around all day."

Li Ming smashed countless teacups, but to no avail. Frustrated, he picked up the phone and searched everywhere for experts in the industry, hoping to find someone to "Tante" (忐忑) to be defeated.

Only when someone actually wins the song can it be proven that Ye Xian is not as amazing as his fans claim; otherwise, it's all for nothing.

……

Actually, the ones who suffered the most were not Li Ming and Sun Ying, but Ai Lele and Hua Yuyu.

As rising stars and top-tier singers in the music scene, especially Hua Yuyu, who has always touted his high notes, the two have always enjoyed having their fans praise their singing skills.

As a result, as soon as "Tante" was released, their comment sections were flooded!

Countless people tagged them, urging these two top stars to show off their proud singing skills.

However, Ai Lele and Hua Yuyu seemed to have disappeared from the internet, and had not posted any new updates for several days.

The two artists' fan clubs frantically tried to cover up their misdeeds, flooding the screen with various singing videos, clips, candid photos, and promotional images in an attempt to suppress comments from casual viewers.

Their fan club is extremely good at this, and they can even launch a sarcastic retort.

[What a terrible rendition of "Tantative"! There isn't a single lyric throughout the entire song. Is this supposed to be a show of singing skills? Dare to hit a high note?]

My brother would never sing a song like that. It sounds so sarcastic and cheap!

My brother is best at singing in B major from the UK; he's on a completely different level from these so-called "little fresh meat" singers in China. Don't compare him to those second-rate singers.

【Ugh, please stop trying to cause trouble! This Ye Xian is always trying to cause trouble, it's so annoying! I feel like throwing up every time I see him buying trending topics! Can't you just do something about it? Let us have a peaceful Mid-Autumn Festival!】

……

The late-night snackers were in stitches at the ignorant and shameless remarks made by the two's fans, and even passersby couldn't help but join in the mockery.

[Does hitting high notes equate to singing skill? When watching diving, do you only look at the final splash? Do you even know what it means to "convey emotions through voice"?]

[These fan groups are showing off their ignorance again? B major from the US? Come on, let's see if there's a single B major song on the Tang Dynasty Music Chart that didn't cost any money to chart? Does your idol dare to release a song that breaks out of its niche? If your idol has even one B major song that can break out of its niche, I'll be impressed! The Tang Dynasty is powerful and domineering, yet you're still sucking up to the US—truly ignorant and foolish!]

Lately, I've been feeling something's off, especially with these idol stars and their fans. They're always fawning over the music of the UK. How could the rich culture and music of the Tang Dynasty, with its 1500 years of history, be inferior to that chaotic country?

[Stop talking nonsense, just ask Ai Lele and Hua Yuyu, do you dare to try "Tantative"? If not, then die in your fandom and never come out to disgust us again!]

……

The internet is in an uproar, but the Night Snack Group, wielding the two divine weapons of "Rakshasa Mirage" and "Tante", has utterly crushed their opponents, leaving none of them able to raise their heads.

At this time, Ye Xian was quietly filming at home and preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Qiuye Yanxuan gave its employees a total of 9 days off during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays.

Except for a few people who needed to stay and help with the live stream, everyone else was on holiday.

These people have either gone on vacation or gone home to visit their parents.

Even Sun Li, Wang Feifei, and Wang Yin took the high-speed train back to their hometown.

They were exhausted during this time, and Ye Xian didn't have much to do, so he let them all go back.

Most of the twelve artists under his management have also returned to their hometowns in glory.

Therefore, during this Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, only a few staff members from Qiuye Yanxuan stayed to accompany Ye Xian.

Fortunately, Ye Xian wasn't alone.
