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

Chapter 474 The Last Question (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Seeing someone mention the "Xiao Xiao Incident" in the comments, Li Xiaoxiao, the person involved, couldn't help but raise her little fist to support Brother Xian. Suddenly realizing that Brother Xian couldn't see it, she quickly paused the video and typed a string of words: "With Brother Xian, Xiaoxiao has the courage to face everything unknown. It's only because Brother Xian is so good that he's being slandered that those people have such dark hearts!"

Lin Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh when she saw Li Xiaoxiao's comment: "Xian-ge is so manly, Xiaoxiao, are you going to repay him with your body?"

Li Xiaoxiao immediately objected, picked up a pillow and threw it at Lin Xiaoyu. The two of them played around for a while before turning back to watch the interview.

……

"You are no longer alone. You have your own company, a large team, and 12 artists under your management. What is your future development direction?"

Many people say that you're writing songs, writing books, running a company, making movies and TV series, and even doing live-streaming sales every three days. This haphazard approach makes it hard to understand what your future plans are.

After discussing the past, Shen Wen began to tentatively ask about the future, which was exactly what the fans wanted to know.

Ye Xian has never stopped stirring things up since the day he debuted.

Live streaming, writing books, producing TV series and movies, acquiring wineries and food factories, opening physical stores in the Ice and Snow Honey City, investing in the Datang Magical Paradise Resort...

These events, one after another, left many people wondering what Ye Xian was trying to do. It seemed he wanted to make money from everything, couldn't distinguish between priorities, and was somewhat greedy.

"Huh? I'm confused?"

When Ye Xian heard this for the first time, he thought about it and realized that he did indeed give people the impression of being too troublesome.

"Okay, it's my fault. Let me explain a little."

My career plan has always been to excel in live-streaming e-commerce. This is the core of my development and my self-positioning. I am a live-streaming e-commerce influencer, and that will never change.

Just like my catchphrase that I always repeat in my short videos, I'm a full-time seller, a part-time cook, an occasional singer, a storyteller in between, and sometimes an actor. This isn't a joke; it's something I've always been doing, because nothing can affect my three-day live-streaming sales event.

As you've probably all seen, the ultimate goal for celebrities these days is to sell products, and the ultimate goal of selling products is a combination of physical and virtual goods. I believe that physical businesses will recover, which is why I've invested in physical industries such as wineries, food factories, and ice and snow honey cities. Live streaming sales are a channel for physical sales, and the two are not in conflict but rather complementary.

As for songwriting, it's partly out of hobby, partly initially for short video services, and partly because it later became a habit.

The books I wrote were actually for my live-streaming e-commerce. Initially, they were to increase the engagement of my live-streaming fans and tell them some fun stories. Later, I turned those stories into books, then into movies and TV series, and into merchandise that I could sell. Many of these things happened by chance, but they never overshadowed my main business. No matter how many movies and TV series I make, I will turn them into products that I can sell and put them in my shopping cart.

As for acting, it's because of contractual issues. The investors of my book would definitely want to be more secure, and having me act in it would allow me to better grasp the character. In the future, I will try to control the proportion of my work involving writing books and acting, and shift more of my focus to my live-streaming e-commerce.

To put it bluntly, all of this is in order to increase my GMV. Becoming a movie star will also allow more people to learn about my Qiuye Yanxuan. Live streaming e-commerce has always been my core business.

As I said before, my main job is selling goods, part-time job is cooking, occasional singing, occasional storytelling, and sometimes acting.

Ye Xian's explanation immediately gave Shen Wen a new topic to discuss: "Is this one of the reasons why you're not enthusiastic about the entertainment industry and have always been reluctant to participate in award ceremonies?"

……

The interview was nearing its end at this point.

Shen Wen's question has always been a point of contention for Ye Xian, and it is also a key point that Li Ming and others use to suppress Ye Xian. Therefore, many people want to know how Ye Xian will deal with it.

Ye Xian agreed with Shen Wen's statement: "Yes, I see myself as a live-streaming e-commerce influencer. Music is my hobby, writing books is my interest, and making movies and TV series is something I do as a side project. I'm not keen on participating in awards, nor do I like others using awards to control me."

As long as the market approves of my songs and my fans like them, that's enough.

As for the films and television dramas I make, because they involve many people, I can't just arbitrarily refuse to participate in awards. But music is my personal matter, so I have that freedom.

Ye Xian's reply directly revealed his true feelings, but it was also tantamount to declaring war on Li Ming and the others.

Aren't you trying to manipulate me?

I wasn't planning on playing with you guys anyway, you can go play in the mud yourselves.

[Haha, I'm really looking forward to seeing who wins the awards that Li Ming controls, without Brother Xian's involvement!]

Just imagining that scene makes me laugh! The funniest thing in the music scene this year would be if Brother Xian didn't win a single award!

[Let me think, it'll definitely be Ai Lele's "Eagle's Song" that wins the Chinese Golden Melody Award again! And Hua Yuyu will surely win "King of Singers" again with a rap song!]

[Without Xian Ge (a popular internet personality), traffic reigns supreme! The judging panels this year must be crying! Remember the "Sea Lion Music Awards" a few months ago? It was ridiculed online and became the biggest joke of the year! All the awards were given to unknown singers; not a single song broke through to mainstream popularity. It's questionable whether this award will even continue next year!]

……

Shen Wen wanted to laugh, but she knew that as a media professional, she couldn't show any bias at this time, otherwise many people would interpret it as her not being neutral enough and having a tendency to guide public opinion.

She asked the last question, which was also the one that received the most votes from all the fans.

"Brother Xian, your fans have always been very concerned about your love life. When have you decided to make an official announcement or get married?"

Shen Wen's question immediately sparked a flurry of comments on the live stream.

If Ye Xian's talent is already beyond praise, then his love life is certainly a source of endless gossip for everyone.

Many fans got excited, and various CP (couple) fans rushed out.

I feel that Shen Wen asked this question very cleverly; she didn't ask who she had officially announced her relationship with!

【Brilliant! I just want to ask, in what way does our Xu Bao fall short of that childhood sweetheart?】

Although I don't want Xian-ge to become the sixth prince consort, I still really want to ship them as a couple. So, Xian-ge, just give in to His Highness!

[I was almost falling asleep listening to the previous parts, but this question suddenly woke me up, haha, scumbag, destroy him!]
