Chapter 575 Brother Xian? He doesn't deserve it!

#What merits does Ye Xian possess to win the title of "youngest Best Actor in History"?

An article from a marketing account has drawn the attention of many people to this topic.

In particular, the marketing account's statement, "This is absolutely a milestone in the Golden Bamboo Awards bowing to traffic," completely ignited the discussion.

I remember Ye Xian was just a sales influencer who sang a few songs, how did he suddenly become a movie star?

[How many songs were those? There were hundreds! Every single one became a hit! The thing is, I can hardly believe that Brother Xian actually won Best Actor!]

I've seen both "Painted Skin" and "The Vanished," and I felt Ye Xian's acting was just average—not particularly good, but not bad either. But to win Best Actor for that seems a bit much, doesn't it?

[Heh, there's nothing new under the sun. What's so surprising about the Golden Bamboo Awards bowing to internet traffic? It's just a matter of time! If there's no Ye Xian, there will be Wang Xian, Li Xian, and eventually, after all the veteran actors retire, won't it all be the era of internet traffic?]

……

Some netizens with stubborn prejudices and some keyboard warriors have stood up to criticize Jin Zhujiang and Ye Xian, and many haters and rivals have taken the opportunity to join the fray.

Ye Xian's identity is not just that of an internet celebrity or a singer; he has successfully become a rising star in the entertainment industry. With a large amount of traffic and funds at his disposal, he has begun to show interest in investing in other projects.

Many powerful figures regard Ye Xian as a tool of the Sixth Princess, and no one wants to see another person come along to share the spoils.

Previously, Ye Xian only invested in his own movies, and no one said anything. Now that you want to reach out and invest in other movies, naturally many people are unhappy.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, some big shots are also making their move, hoping to take advantage of the situation to smear Ye Xian.

……

Seeing so many people criticizing and questioning Ye Xian, Cat Brother, a die-hard fan of Ye Xian, immediately jumped out.

"Hello everyone, I'm Cat Bro!"

Recently, our low-key Xian Ge suddenly won the Golden Bamboo Award for Best Actor! Hahaha, such a celebratory event! I've already set off a string of 100,000 firecrackers in the backyard!

This should have been a happy occasion for everyone – the judges approved, the fans were happy, Brother Xian was happy, and Brother Mao was happy. But some marketing accounts and keyboard warriors were unhappy.

How dare they call Brother Xian a celebrity?

H-tui, please don't insult the word "traffic," okay? Traffic is such a high-sounding term; is it a label our Xian-ge can use?

Which popular idol would lower their standards and write their own songs? No one, find me one!

Oh, and this self-proclaimed god—well, sorry, I have one more thing to say: which popular idol would be willing to sacrifice their own reputation and let their songs be heard by people other than their fans?

No, right? Not a single one. Their songs are only played for their own fans, and only die-hard fans can understand their songs!

Brother Xian? He doesn't deserve the title! His songs are all written for the masses!

Besides, which popular idol would work themselves to death like Brother Xian, personally filming several movies? They're all just photo-editors, okay? Why would they need to do it themselves? Wouldn't that exhaust their little bodies? Acting is all done by stunt doubles!

Oh, right, and also, would a popular idol like Xian Ge (a popular internet personality) really invest in so many movies through a combination of salary, copyright, screenwriting, marketing, and cash? Popular idols directly earn hundreds of millions in salaries, okay? Do they need to look at box office numbers? No, they just need to fleece their fans!

Does the quality of their acting or the box office revenue have anything to do with them? No! After getting their paychecks, they can move on to the next film and recite numbers!

Honestly, Brother Xian, why don't you learn from those popular celebrities? Why work so hard? You could easily earn a hundred or two hundred million by just posting a picture and reciting 123456789. Why do you still gamble on box office revenue and get a share of the profits?

You were just lucky to have three movies gross 241 billion yuan at the box office, managing to rank 15th on the actor box office chart. If you had been less lucky, your box office would have crashed like Lu Han's.

I didn't mean any harm to those popular male celebrities, please don't misunderstand. After all, how could I possibly compare to those god-like male celebrities? My achievements are nothing to brag about, they're all just luck!

The key point is that it was all luck!

So, those marketing accounts that claim the "Golden Bamboo Award is bowing to traffic" are really overestimating Brother Xian.

He doesn't even want to attend a music awards ceremony, and he wouldn't attend any film and television awards ceremony if it weren't for the film crew.

He doesn't have the money of those celebrities who spend money on trophies all the time. Xian Ge's trophies were all forced upon him by others.

He doesn't organize his fans to boost data, rarely goes to roadshows, and has participated in very few variety shows.

Why don't you learn from those popular celebrities? Go out and do some commercial performances, make some appearances, cut ribbons or something, show your face, and easily earn millions. Wouldn't that be better?

Speaking of which, I just realized that Brother Xian has never participated in a single commercial performance since his debut! Wow, Brother Xian is so low-class, he's far behind those popular celebrities!

Now that you mention it, I suddenly realized that Brother Xian hasn't taken on a single GG endorsement yet!

My God, as a live-streaming e-commerce host, a singer, and an actor, Brother Xian doesn't even have a single GG endorsement!

Terrible! Absolutely terrible!

In this respect, Xian Ge is definitely no match for popular idols!

He didn't even harvest the chives! That's infuriating!

What are you going to do with your 9999 million+ Kuaiyin fans? We want to spend some money on you, and we have to go to your live stream to buy the snacks we want to eat. Can't you let us buy something flashy but impractical?

This is so difficult, being a fan of Brother Xian is so difficult!

So, those keyboard warriors, please stop insulting the word "traffic"—our Xian Ge doesn't deserve it!

The only thing that makes Xian Ge comparable to popular idols is probably his face, which makes men jealous. The problem is, Xian Ge's face is very natural; he hasn't had any plastic surgery. He doesn't have the money for that!

Also, Brother Xian didn't use his looks to drive a bus or eat fried noodles. At most, he might have a few scandals, but let me clarify this: Brother Xian has only one real girlfriend, and that is the boss's wife, Qiu Qing. All other scandals are slander!

Key point: Defamation!

Xian Ge has never admitted to being the Sixth Prince Consort, nor has he ever admitted to spending the night with Xu Bao, nor has he ever been overly intimate with Sister Tian or Sister Xiao Xiao, nor has he ever had anything with Goddess Ding Ding. Li Xin and Duan Fei are just brothers!

You understand, right?

Okay, that's all for today's video. Remember to like and subscribe!

Okay, I have to catch my flight to join Brother Xian's victory celebration live stream. Don't be envious, everyone!

As soon as Cat Brother's short video was released, he launched a full-scale attack, criticizing marketing accounts, keyboard warriors, haters, and popular idols one by one.

Many fans were laughing hysterically in the live chat.

[Cat Bro, you really don't have Versailles, you're giving the complete definition of "traffic"! Plastic surgery, buying traffic and data, buying awards, acting with body doubles and stickers reading numbers, only taking high salaries and not caring about box office, self-indulgent fantasies, doing commercial performances everywhere, and casually endorsing GG. Oh, and one more thing, driving a bus and selling noodles.]

[Not a single word is explicitly praising Brother Xian, yet every word is a compliment! Indeed, Brother Xian, you're just lucky. If you were any less lucky, you'd be like those popular idols, only able to make money based on your looks!]

[Xian Ge truly doesn't deserve to be called a "traffic star." Look at the things he's done—could any traffic star do that? Suddenly, I realize that we've become so accustomed to Xian Ge's excellence that it feels strange when he suddenly receives a Best Actor award.]

[Cat Bro, in your 10-minute short video, you only lied about the rumors surrounding Xian Ge! That wasn't slander! It wasn't slander! Also, I'm genuinely envious of Cat Bro, the LSP who got to attend Xian Ge's celebration live stream!]
