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

On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Xian woke up from his sleep, habitually turned on Kuaiyin (a Chinese music streaming platform), and opened the background.

The first short video has been viewed 196932 times.

The second short video has been viewed 81327 times.

The third short video has been viewed 36872 times.

The fourth short video has been viewed 9741 times.

Total views: 324872

Total likes: 13629

Number of followers: 6251

The number of users who used the music "Take Me to Find Nightlife" is 52724.

The music track "The Farthest Place I Can See" has been used by 925 people.

"Take Me to Find Nightlife" ranked 33rd on the music chart and 5th on the original music chart.

At this point, less than five days had passed since the first short video was uploaded.

This data cost 400 yuan, included 2 songs, and the good looks of a handsome guy.

We're still on holiday, but there's expected to be a small surge in cases after everyone goes back to work on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

The next short video will be released at 17 PM on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. I will also be doing a live stream announcement at the same time. So today is actually quite busy, as I need to organize the live stream room.

Get up, run, stretch your legs, bend over backwards, and practice your singing.

Take a shower, make breakfast, eat breakfast, and then clean up.

Autumn's mother arrived at the convenience store right on time.

"Auntie, doesn't this need to be so formal?"

Ye Xian was unsure how to face Qiu's mother today, especially since she was dressed in a business suit.

"Hey, that's not right of you. We're doing serious business, how can we not dress more formally? Look at you, wearing a white shirt in the live stream, you look so smart."

Autumn's mother gently stroked her hair, quite pleased with herself: "I got up at five o'clock to get ready for this outfit."

"Auntie, let me explain."

Ye Xian was a little reluctant to shatter Qiu's mother's illusions and efforts, but there were some things he still needed to make clear to her so that she wouldn't have to get up early every day in the future.

"For short videos and live streams, you don't need to dress too formally. I wear a white shirt to give myself a brand identity, to provide a visual anchor, and to make everyone remember my outfit. I'll dress the same way when I enter the live stream room, so that my persona remains consistent."

"Auntie, if you want to open an online store, you can help me shoot short videos or live streams. This industry doesn't usually require such formality. You can just dress as you normally like. If I need you to appear on camera, I'll buy you whatever kind of outfit you need. Generally speaking, everyday clothes are enough for most shoots."

Autumn's mother's expression stiffened for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Look at me, I didn't even ask you beforehand. Shall I go back and change it?"

"No need to change it, no need to change it. It's my fault for not explaining this to the aunt beforehand. We're not filming short videos today; we need to prepare for tomorrow's live stream. Also, we need to ship the orders from last night."

Yes, last night, we received two more orders, for a total of three bottles.

"An order? That's great!"

Upon hearing that they could make money, Autumn's mother immediately beamed with joy: "Quick, teach me how to read orders and how to ship them."

Ye Xian smiled and took Qiu's mother to the warehouse. He turned on the computer and showed her how to check orders, how to print orders, how to pack orders, and who to contact for shipping. He also gave her the address and phone number of the SF Express branch.

After such a training session, an hour had passed, and Qiu's mother was learning with great enthusiasm.

Seeing how engrossed Qiu Mama was, Ye Xian felt relieved. It seemed that Qiu Mama genuinely wanted to learn, rather than simply doing it to take care of him, which relieved him of any burden.

Ye Xian has always been a self-reliant person, and it's no joke that he was able to stay single for decades in this other world.

Upon arriving in this world, Ye Xian was suddenly taken aback when an elder entered his life to take care of him. This made it difficult for him to adapt at first, but when everyone interacted as colleagues, Ye Xian returned to his most comfortable environment.

That's fine too.

While Qiu's mother was sorting out orders, Ye Xian found a few small heaters and shone them on the ceiling to create diffused light, which would brighten the entire live-streaming room and make the lighting more even.

Three bottles of wine were placed on the live streaming platform, one with a box and two without. The script for the live streaming that I had written in my spare time was also placed on the table to remind myself of the selling points of the wine.

Then, the soft light that Lanxing Yexian bought was placed directly in front of the live broadcast platform, and adjustments were made little by little to light the product and the host. This is a meticulous task.

Ye Xian wasn't exactly an expert in this area, but he was fine with watching it on his phone.

The visual impact of live streaming differs from that of short videos.

Short videos can have fewer visual hammers, but live streams must have more, because this is related to whether people passing by your live stream will be attracted by your visuals.

Ye Xian's live stream shouldn't be set up in a warehouse, but his most important task right now is to sell wine, so the best background at the moment is his own wine warehouse.

The wine boxes were neatly arranged, with the four large characters "Haizhou Laojiu" displayed as a backdrop. Then, a few pieces of white paper were handwritten and pasted onto several boxes.

Unfortunately, it's not even the sixth day of the Lunar New Year yet, and all the GG companies are on holiday, so everything in this live stream has to be kept simple.

There's no green screen available right now, so we can't use background images and have to use the actual scene.

Simplicity is not a problem; a live-streaming room does not necessarily need to be luxurious.

Because in this other world, there's a live-streaming room that's famous for its simplicity; it belongs to a child star.

Even the livestream room of a top influencer with hundreds of millions of followers on short video platforms in another world is just a simple display shelf.

In addition, many live streaming studios are set up directly in the production workshop, without needing much beautification.

Authenticity can sometimes be more effective at selling products than high-end or sophisticated marketing.

In the alternate world of Hangzhou, a professional set-up team can set up a professional live-streaming studio for just one or two thousand yuan in half an hour to an hour.

In a good live streaming room, the setting is just one element, not the primary one.

The most important element is always the streamer.

A skilled streamer can make people completely ignore the background.

However, if you have the means, it's good to enhance the background of your live stream, but there's no need to be superstitious about it, otherwise you're likely to get ripped off by some fraudulent training companies.

For Ye Xian right now, money is the biggest problem. He only has 1648.5 yuan in cash left, and the remaining 1547 yuan is tied up in the Kuaiyin platform. It's not time to settle the bill yet, so he can't withdraw it.

Even so, once the delivery person arrives tomorrow, this amount of over a thousand yuan probably won't be enough to cover the payment. In addition, I need to spend 100 yuan to promote the fifth short video tomorrow, leaving me with only 1500 yuan that I can actually use.

You should at least keep a few dozen yuan for food, clothing, and other necessities.

I bought 200 yuan worth of rice, noodles, and oil a couple of days ago. If I'm careful with what I buy, it should last me a week or two. But now that I have Qiu's mom, things are a bit uncertain.

Money, money, money!

Ye Xian is obsessed with money now.

For Ye Xian right now, securing income is the top priority.

Oh right, I also need to take Qiu Qing to the airport this afternoon!

Her vacation is coming to an end!

Thinking of this, Ye Xian was a little worried. Qiu Qing was going abroad, so he had to give her a gift. The problem was that he was penniless right now and probably couldn't afford a decent gift.

What should I do?

Ye Xian hesitated for a long time but still couldn't think of a good gift.

"Ye Xian, what's wrong?"

After delivering the package, Qiu's mother returned to the convenience store and found Ye Xian sitting at the cashier, lost in thought.

"Auntie, Qiuqing is leaving this afternoon, and I'm thinking about what kind of gift to give her."

Unable to figure it out, I simply asked her mother.

"What's so great about giving this as a gift!"

Autumn's mother waved her hand and pointed to the backyard, saying, "Call her and tell her to come over at noon. Cook her a nice meal; it'll make her happier than giving her a gift."

"Just cook a meal?"

Ye Xian was slightly taken aback. It was that simple?

"Just cook a meal, but not instant noodles!"

Autumn's mother glanced at her watch; it was already 10:30. "Go buy the groceries quickly," she said, "I'll watch the shop."

Ye Xian was kicked out of the convenience store by Aunt Qiu.
