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

The lucky bag draw is done automatically by the system; when the time comes, some are happy while others are sad.

[Masked Man in the Cornfield: I didn't win, 55555!]

[Love so deep, legs naturally part: 10 is too few! There must be something fishy going on!]

[Chrysanthemum's Three Wraths: A Cover-Up? The lucky bags are from Kuaishou's official account; you think it was Xian Ge who made them?]

[Wishing you a healthy pregnancy: Brother Xian, keep smoking! Keep smoking!]

……

With over 2800 followers and only 10 winners, the live stream chat naturally exploded with excitement.

Seeing that everyone was still unwilling, Ye Xian immediately said, "It's okay if you didn't win. I'll sing a new song for everyone; it's a perk, after all!"

"Bang!"

A large firework exploded in the live broadcast room.

A super carnival flashed by.

[Bai Jie: Ye Xian's character art, anyone willing to sell, DM me!]

"Bang!"

Another large firework exploded in the live broadcast room.

Another super carnival has passed.

[Please call me Goddess: DM me if you repost this!]

The two super carnivals once again boosted the popularity of the live stream to its peak, with the number of online viewers instantly exceeding 3000.

Ye Xian hadn't expected the two older women to be so generous, and he quickly thanked them, saying, "Thank you, Sister Bai, thank you, Goddess Sister! Please don't be like that, sisters. I will give back two bottles of Haizhou Old Wine to everyone who gives me a gift during my live stream carnival, and this time is no exception. This time I will also include a character illustration, so please don't give gifts unnecessarily."

[Sister Bai: I'll save this for you first, and I'll come see you in a few days.]

[Please call me Goddess: I don't want the wine, give me the photo! It'd be better if it were given to someone else!]

……

[Peeing Three Feet into the Wind: I say, these two aren't here to fleece us, are they?]

[The Fairy with a Beer Belly: Hehe, obviously a hater. Brother Xian always sends alcohol to the top donors, and recently, fans who have been doing live streams with him have also been sending alcohol.]

[Time breeds rust: By the way, is Brother Xian giving away his wine for free because he can't sell it anymore?]

[Having 12 straight men in the family: Makes sense!]

[Kindergarten Boss: Let's get down to business and give out another round of perks!]

[Lift your butt and fight: What are you singing for? The top female fan on the leaderboard is asking for the character art, I'm saying, can't you do something decent?]

……

Although the two carnivals diverted everyone's attention, many fans still relentlessly demanded perks, which annoyed Ye Xian to no end. Finally, in desperation, he suddenly came up with a good idea.

"Everyone, we've been having tea gatherings lately, and I only have a few songs that I sing over and over again, so you're all getting a little tired of them. How about I tell you some stories instead?"

【? 】

【? 】

【? 】

The live stream chat was flooded with question marks: Aren't you a singing streamer? Why are you suddenly telling stories?

With over 3000 people online, a couple hundred immediately disappeared.

Ye Xian didn't care. Those people were just there to get freebies anyway, and once they saw there were no more freebies to be had, they left.

"I saw this story in a book at home when I was a child. At the time, I thought the story was very strange, but because I was too young, I didn't study it much."

"As you may have seen in today's short video, I tidied up a study. While organizing my books, I suddenly remembered this book. I searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it. I even searched for it on my phone, but still couldn't find the corresponding book. I guess it was published a long time ago."

"Since everyone is so excited today and no one wants to hear me sing anymore, I'll tell you this story."

"The story is called 'The Story of a Man and Over a Hundred Women'!"

……

[Top Scorer: Brother Xian, if you keep talking about this, I won't be sleepy anymore! Keep talking, it doesn't matter how late it goes!]

[Keyboard Damage: Brother Xian, this is a good point, but aren't you afraid your livestream will get banned?]

[This humble Taoist priest only touches chrysanthemums: What's there to be afraid of? As long as you're careful while driving, you generally won't get caught!]

[Using Meat to Overcome Steel: Brother, how could you tell such a story? If you insist on telling it, could you please book a room for me to tell it alone? I'm a little shy!]

……

The viewers in the live stream were extremely excited when they heard the title of the story Ye Xian was going to tell, and even the declining number of online viewers began to slowly recover.

"Just kidding. I can't remember the real name of this book, so let's just call it 'Dream of the Red Chamber' for now."

That's right, Ye Xian is going to talk about the alternate world version of "Dream of the Red Chamber," which is something he felt was missing when he was tidying up his study.

I didn't realize it at the time, but it dawned on me later that I had come to Earth and found that many famous works were missing.

Here, there is only the brilliant culture of the Tang Dynasty, not the treasures of another world.

Having been in this world for over half a month, Ye Xian's memory and comprehension have been improving rapidly. He has an urge to bring some otherworldly waves to Blue Star.

However, Ye Xian also knew that with his current level and fame, he could not directly copy the original "Dream of the Red Chamber".

Therefore, he plans to first talk about the 87 TV series version of "Dream of the Red Chamber". If everyone likes this story, then he will slowly move on to the next step.

"Today, we will talk about the first episode, 'Lin Daiyu bids farewell to her father and goes to the capital'."

"It is said that this is a story carved in stone..."

"A local official named Zhen Shiyin lived near the Gourd Temple in Renqing Lane, Shili Street, outside Changmen Gate in Suzhou..."

The 87 TV series "Dream of the Red Chamber" brought together many scholars of "Dream of the Red Chamber" to create the series, so it is quite rigorous overall. Although Ye Xian does not like the Cheng-Gao version and prefers the Guiyou version, it is better to start with the TV series version when telling the story.

It needs to be simple and easy to understand for people to accept it.

Another point is that I watched this TV series so many times when I was a child that I remember many of the lines clearly, so it's much easier to talk about this than about the original novel.

[Green Grassland Gang Leader: What the hell is this? I'm leaving!]

[A cat staring blankly at the fish tank: Hey bro, can we talk in plain language? My Chinese is a bit weak.]

Homework is everywhere in the world: Is that bad? It's that complete ignorance, okay?

[Behind-the-scenes commentator: Quite interesting. Is this poor scholar Jia Yucun the main character? I'm really looking forward to it!]

[This old monk is here to read the scriptures: The story of a poor scholar and over a hundred women? It's sure to get very exciting later on!]

[There's plenty of time: Don't rush, there might be something even more exciting, Brother Xian, tell us quickly...]

……

Some people enjoyed listening, some found it boring, some asked for perks, and some wanted to hear songs, but Ye Xian ignored them all. While drinking tea, he told a story he had known since childhood.

After several adjustments, Ye Xian has gradually developed a clear idea for his live streaming channel.

I initially thought I would sell the product directly, but with only Haizhou Laojiu (a type of Chinese liquor), the conversion rate was too low, so I often just showed off my talents and chatted.

We chat for a bit, sing a song, and when we get tired, we chat for a couple more minutes.

so cycle.

It's not much different from street performers.

After Li Xin and Duan Fei arrived, Ye Xian suddenly realized that the fireside chat format was quite good, so he made it a regular practice. When friends came, they would have barbecue around the fire; when no friends came, they would just have tea around the fire.

While brewing tea, he chatted with fans. When he was in the mood, he would sing a few songs. When he got tired, he would drink tea, chat, and eat some snacks and desserts.

This format has been widely embraced by fans.

This atmosphere and slow pace are very popular among modern young people.

Furthermore, many investors have already set their sights on this model and are preparing to develop corresponding business models.

Unfortunately, they are not prepared to give Ye Xian a single penny of copyright royalties.

Ye Xian was too lazy to eat the cake.

After Sun Li, Wang Feifei, and Wang Yin arrived, they added a new element for young people: they randomly selected three lucky fans to connect with via live stream, increasing interactivity.

He then took the opportunity to offer a bottle of wine to lucky fans to offset the cost of the lucky bag and increase their enthusiasm.

With this new format, the live stream room has indeed become much more active than before.

However, this is not enough.

While tidying up my study today, I thought of some classic novels from another world and wondered if I should bring them to Earth. Directly distributing the books would definitely be difficult, so I thought I might as well enrich the content of my fireside chats.

A live stream needs to be constantly updated and fresh. The emotional value it provides to viewers should not be chaotic, but rather orderly.

Playing musical instruments to warm up the atmosphere, chatting and drinking tea with fans around a fire, showcasing talents, and interacting with fans via live stream—all of these gradually form an orderly rhythm that fans are getting used to.

When you first start broadcasting, you need to constantly interact with your fans and answer their questions. Once the number of viewers in the live stream reaches a certain level, you don't need to pay too much attention to what the fans say. Instead, you should guide them to follow your rhythm.

A good streamer is one who can guide the emotions and rhythm of the viewers in their live stream.

For example, Teacher Dong in another world: I'll say what I want to say, and you can listen to what I want to say. I don't care what comments you make.

Discussing Dream of the Red Chamber can make the interactive chat sessions less dry and boring.

As they talked and chatted, the interaction became more engaging and meaningful.

After much deliberation, Ye Xian took the opportunity to add new content to the fireside chat.

The Grand Lecture Hall of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
