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

Every time I watch Brother Xian's videos, I feel a sense of healing.

Yes, his lens always manages to capture the most ordinary yet often overlooked beauty in life.

Watching him walk through the crowd, you get the feeling of him going against the current.

[New song released, added to favorites!]

[This song has been out for 8 minutes, it's already an old song. When will the next new song be released?]

[This is from Xin Ge, the complete studio version sounds amazing! I've used it!]

……

"Although we helped shoot these scenes, I feel like Brother Xian edited them better than we did?"

Li Xin watched Ye Xian in the camera's view, squatting in front of a vegetable stall to buy vegetables, reaching out to take the fish the fishmonger handed him, bending down to select meat, and carrying the ingredients home.

Every shot was taken by the two of them, but the visuals were much more pleasing than those captured on their own accounts.

"Our camera language is different from his. He wants a sense of immersion and a sense of scene, while ours is more about immersion. After all, we're both too lively and often crack jokes."

Duan Fei quickly added several bullet comments and messages for Ye Xian, then laughed and said, "Brother Xian doesn't seem like a newbie, so why did he get tricked so badly back then?"

"Hmph, weren't we the same back then? This industry looks simple, but it's actually very complex!"

"Yeah, back then we were so broke we were practically eating dirt every day."

Li Xin sighed, "Only after experiencing it do you know what it means to make money like eating shit."

The two fell silent.

Let us live a carefree and joyful life together in this mortal world.

Galloping on horseback, sharing the prosperity of the world

Let us sing and drink to express the joy in our hearts.

Make the most of your youth!

... "

As the chorus begins, Ye Xian, Li Xin, and Duan Fei raise their glasses to toast, and all three have happy smiles on their faces in the shot.

"Ah—I want to eat my way through the entire Tang Dynasty!"

"Ahhh! Xin-ge, we'll be together forever!"

"Fei-ge, forget that jerk, you'll have a better future!"

"Brother Xin, let's retire together!"

Interlude.

Li Xin and Duan Fei stood on the balcony and shouted loudly towards the sea.

Ye Xian stood to the side, strumming his guitar with his head down, serving as a backdrop.

At this point, the short video is more like an old-fashioned music video.

The verse begins again, and the scene shifts to a group around a stove brewing tea. In the foreground are wisps of smoke rising, bright red charcoal, and three cheerful people blurred in front of the stove.

[I'm so envious! So this is what it's like to have a fireside chat.]

Before, when I watched Xin Ge and the others' short videos, I didn't fully understand. It wasn't until I saw Xian Ge's video that I understood the meaning of those four words.

With whom to gather around the fire? What to talk about at night? If the conversation doesn't flow, even half a sentence is too much. To have two or three close friends sitting together, sharing one's innermost thoughts, is a rare treat in life.

I feel like this is a business opportunity. Has anyone considered investing?

Hey upstairs, wanna join us?

[You two are such idiots, everyone else is just playing around, why are you the only ones who know how to gamble?]

……

As the chorus began again, Li Xin and Duan Fei, two drunkards, stood back to back and started howling like ghosts, a scene that made them both cover their faces in embarrassment.

"Oh my god, this is so embarrassing!"

"It's alright, it's alright! We just drank 52-degree water. Everyone will just think we're singing while drunk, not that we're intoxicated!"

"Brother Xin, can you please stop being so shameless?"

"Brother Fei, I've long since lost all shame!"

……

Ye Xian collected the two singers' voices and put them into the chorus loop, mixing them with his own voice to make the chorus fuller and more impactful, rather than relying solely on Ye Xian's voice.

The verse of this song is suitable for solo performance.

The chorus is suitable for multiple people to sing together.

The original version was sung by a duo. The more people sing, the stronger the atmosphere of the song becomes. Ye Xian even used several different falsettos to artificially create a harmonious atmosphere.

There's no other way; we don't have the money to hire professional singers for backing vocals, so we have to do it ourselves.

This was a bold attempt. Ye Xian did not follow the original version exactly, but combined the effects of the original live version with the studio version.

The two men's drunken state perfectly matched the mood of the chorus of the song, so Ye Xian adjusted the editing order, showing the two men singing together first, and then the three men singing together.

The chorus loops, and the scene keeps switching between shots of the two singing together, the three singing together, Ye Xian playing the guitar solo, the three of them shopping and eating snacks, and Li Xin and Duan Fei feeding each other snacks.

[Xin Ge and Fei Ge have such a good relationship! Xian Ge, step aside, come to me, don't interfere... between them.]

Ahhh, I really want to find a man to accompany me through this mortal world!

Am I capable?

Let's drink and sing, live in the moment! Youth, oh youth, once gone, never returns.

Let's journey through life together, living freely and unrestrained, galloping on horseback while enjoying hot pot and bubble tea.

What to do with shared bikes and power banks?

……

"These candid shots are really beautiful!"

"You've got the glutinous rice cake all stuck to your nose!"

"I never noticed before, we're so photogenic."

Li Xin and Duan Fei felt a warmth in their hearts as they watched the two of them eating snacks together on camera: "Brother Xian really put his heart into it, he even secretly filmed so many shots."

"So we need to learn from Brother Xian, these are the key points to improving emotional value."

Duan Fei nodded, signaling to Li Xin that it was time to end.

A gentle narration by Ye Xian is inserted amidst an extremely long trailing tone.

"No dwelling on the past, no anticipation of the future! Goodnight, everyone!"

……

The release of the seventh short video was unlike the previous six, which went unnoticed after being posted.

Especially after Xin Ge and Fei Ge's short videos went viral, Xian Ge's short videos also quickly became popular. Furthermore, with the release of a studio version of the song "Dang" in this short video, the data started to skyrocket almost within the first hour of its release.

"3 views?"

Ye Xian, who was preparing for the broadcast, was shocked by the backend data that Qiu's mother reported: "So fast?"

"Yes, those two girls just messaged me saying their short videos are almost at 200 million views and they've gained 26 followers. They said they really want to thank you!"

Autumn's mother was beaming with joy. Her younger generation was so outstanding, which made her, as an elder, feel very proud.

"This is all thanks to them. They have a solid fan base, and with good content, it was only a matter of time before they exploded in popularity. It has little to do with me, and both of them probably used paid promotion."

"We just spent 100 views on this video, and judging from the current situation, we'll probably have to spend more views later. Auntie, please keep an eye on the backend. If the number of views exceeds 20 before 9 PM during my live stream, please remind me so I can spend another 1000 views using a secondary account."

"Is 1000 too little or too little? Do you want Auntie to give you some money? How about 1? 2?"

Autumn's mother was getting restless.
