Chapter 122: Everyone’s Competing To Suck, Huh?
“Didn’t Fei Hong lose? Why is there still a reward?”
He originally thought that after Yu Wei announced the competition results of Tong Yulu and Chi Leying, the sixth competition would start directly, but unexpectedly, the recording of Top Streamer paused.
According to the novel plot, after recording five competitions and ten songs, they seemed to need a break…
But what surprised them was still the second update’s plot, where the protagonist Wei Yu found the Fei Hong who lost the competition and actually sang a song in front of him.
With Yu Wei’s style, this should be another instance of an unreleased new work appearing ahead of time in his novel.
From this meaning, Someone Like Me is to be sung by Fei Hong?
Previously, when new songs appeared in the novel, everyone would just look forward to it a bit, without strong immersion, but this time with real stars, the immersion came instantly.
For third- or fourth-tier actors, what does one song from Yu Wei mean?
It represents a presentable representative work; his songs are all of high quality, without a doubt, this is a benefit and an opportunity.
This fake competition finally dropped gold coins; the participating stars finally had some hope, but why Fei Hong? Wasn’t he the first to lose…
Why do losers get rewards instead!
Netizens who saw the new chapter directly shouted that they couldn’t understand Yu Wei’s operation; could this kid be uprooting the strong and supporting the weak?
Others give prizes to winners in competitions to show encouragement, but in his competition, he pats the loser’s shoulder and hands them a sniper rifle to kill back.
Is this right?
Mischief maker readers also had something to say: then don’t worry about it, this is a fake competition, you’ve already won the competition and still want rewards, taking all the benefits.
Not only did netizens not understand, but the stars in the entertainment industry following this program also couldn’t figure it out; at first they thought Yu Wei was just writing for fun, but unexpectedly it turned into a real competition later.
So many stars participating, and their popularity all significantly increased, making them eager to try, but the competition’s brutality was really a bit high.
Especially those netizens’ sharp evaluations, which made them hesitate.
To put it bluntly, those wanting to gain popularity through Yu Wei’s book are looking for shortcuts; how many talented people are there?
For these people, fans are willing to spoil them without restraint; if they really participate in the competition, wouldn’t it expose them? Readers and netizens’ scrutiny won’t be merciful.
Usually fans boast invincible singing skill, but in the competition they go full auto-tune, wouldn’t that smash their own signboard?
Participating in the competition is good, but many stars dare not, because they really have nothing, and can’t let go of face.
Originally these traffic stars thought Yu Wei’s fake competition had nothing to do with them, but today they see, what, losers still get songs?
There’s such a good thing; they’re bound to lose! No need to fake it, just perform real strength.
Where to register for the competition…
“Losing the competition is the right thing!”
Tong Yulu was utterly dejected when reading the new chapter today; how could she be happy about losing to her arch-rival.
Although the company helped her take the heat, losing on the same song, saying it’s not embarrassing is fake; seeing “Tong Yulu” defeated and entering the quarantine zone in the novel, that frustration was deeply relatable.
Must kill back for revenge, must!
She thought so, but then saw the second chapter and her mouth grinned to the sky, what, losing the competition gives song rewards?
Don’t look at Tong Yulu’s current popularity rising, but without works she’s still an embroidered pillow; a real representative work can completely stabilize her footing.
Doesn’t that mean she doesn’t lose, even makes a killing; in comparison, Chi Leying paid such a huge price to win, isn’t she purely a clown?
Thinking of this, her shame and anger from being stepped on to advance instantly vanished, and she began fantasizing about killing back, taking revenge, and winning the championship.
Yu Wei ah Yu Wei, quickly use your great song to harshly humiliate the defeated me!
……
“Who said losers get songs?”
Yu Wei was stunned seeing netizens’ replies; he just needed a new song, and this new song happened to suit Fei Hong.
One new song, two uses: use once in the real program Music Blind Box, use once more in the fake program Top Streamer, making full use of it.
How did it become rewarding losers in netizens’ eyes; where’s such a good thing?
Although it’s a fake competition, helping the inferior instead of the superior is too much…
Think, and it exists.
That afternoon, Hu Xing finally received the editor’s reply, and his eyes moistened the moment he saw the signing success.
Perhaps for authors this is just a start, but for him who had tried without success for so long, this joy was indescribable.
“Write on with this excited mood.” Yu Wei patted his shoulder, “No matter when, don’t forget the feeling of the first signing.”
“Failure or takeoff.”
In this instant, he recalled many things from before: first signing, first praise, first going on sale, first manuscript fee…
Just, pretty good.
Yu Wei exchanged some writing insights with Hu Xing until near the end of recording, then mentioned tomorrow’s practice singing.
“Gu Shen, is the song difficult?”
As Yu Wei’s reader, Hu Xing obviously knew the urban legend in the book friend circle: going on the program to sing with Yu Wei is very enjoyable, one sings and one doesn’t make a sound.
“Not difficult, pretty easy to sing, specially picked an easy one for you.”
Someone Like Me was already a very accessible type; since he dared to register for the program, he should have some foundation, no problem singing this song.
Hu Xing nodded, but his gaze clearly doubted, apparently not quite believing his words…
“Am I the type to make things hard for fans?”
Before Hu Xing could speak, the nearby follow-shot photographer couldn’t help laughing during filming; others might not know, but after following four episodes, they did.
Yu Wei was still thinking of proving his innocence when agent Liu Ning’s call came; she contacted him proactively seeing he was about to get off work.
“Sister, what’s up?”
Sister Liu rarely called proactively, but each time it was a big deal; he didn’t dare neglect, went out and answered.
“About your novel competition… a few artists contacted this afternoon, wanting to recommend themselves; the company and I can’t decide, so asking you.”
Liu Ning could handle other things, but only Yu Wei’s novel was beyond the company, not in business scope, totally helpless.
“Not impossible, send me their info.”
Since it’s a competition, naturally accept registration; more stars mean more popularity and interaction volume for the novel.
But as the “organizer”, Yu Wei still needed to review a bit.
Being bad is fine, plenty bad in entertainment industry, even Su Jian type can compete, but can’t be dirty, those obviously involved in shady stuff can’t be taken.
Like suspected embezzling assets or something…
After getting the list and info from Sister Liu, Yu Wei glanced roughly and surprisingly found an acquaintance, with eyebrows somewhat similar to Meng Han.
Isn’t this Meng Lei?
During HELLO Roommate recording, he interacted least with Meng Lei, just ordinary friends.
He wrote everyone else from the variety show, missing only Meng Lei; he didn’t know his thoughts, never asked.
Looks like he also wants to go on the Soul Refining Banner?
As a star second generation, Meng Lei is a small transparent in entertainment industry; many know him because of Teacher Meng Han, but few follow him.
No need to be outsiders; if he really wants to compete, just tell him; this little brother is just quiet personality, but good person.
As for the others, Yu Wei wasn’t too familiar, didn’t know why they suddenly all rushed to register.
Why not come earlier; they couldn’t really think losers get songs, right?
He excluded one buddy suspected of partying, leaving six, perfectly in pairs, can write three or four days.
“Sister Liu, have them prepare competition videos and send to me, I’ll use later.”
Yu Wei thought with Chi Leying and Tong Yulu as jewels in front, later artists would compete hard, but unexpectedly these six were more perfunctory than the last,
Messages sent in evening, videos came next morning, all poor sound quality plus ancient picture quality, singing all off-key…
“All coming to compete in being rotten, huh?”
Now Yu Wei was sure: they really thought losers get songs, here to scam.
Laughed in anger, don’t even learn something good.
Yu Wei casually picked familiar ones, Xia Zan and Huang Chuyang, planning to have them compete first in new chapter.
These two had appeared early in novel readers’ comments; day before yesterday when Tong Yulu did vote exchange, their fans came to punch in too.
Luckily in misfortune, they chose others’ songs; if singing his song this badly, Yu Wei would really find it embarrassing…
Learning they’d appear in novel today, Xia Zan and Huang Chuyang hurriedly rallied fans: don’t vote, absolutely don’t vote.
Originally aiming to lose, if fans unknowingly vote hard it’d ruin the big plan.
Their fans were a bit confused hearing this; though not reading Yu Wei’s book, they heard some rumors.
Other fans go all out to vote for their main, how come here they tell to hold still?
Could it be knocking fans…
Finally after they emphasized repeatedly, fans were persuaded: okay, no voting, brother says what it is.
But when Yu Wei’s chapter updated, they still couldn’t help wanting to act.
On one hand hunter instinct for voting and data, on other hand, Xia Zan and Huang Chuyang sang poorly, book review area full of mockery looking around.
“Not me saying, these two really not as good as Su Jian; at least he knows he’s bad and puts on a show, their singing is pure torture.”
“When Yu Wei posts videos, dare they watch themselves?”
“You’re right, but this is our universe number one Xia Zan Your Highness, stage charm full on, both bewitching and seductive, one slip and people drown in the singing, brother is well-deserved TOP king!”
“Upstairs don’t hijack, did you laugh copying and pasting?”
Seeing their brother mocked like this, fans couldn’t stand it; same contestants, they also want their artist to win gloriously.
Finally they discussed: since no voting then no, but must control comments, otherwise brother’s head would be cursed off.
Xia Zan and Huang Chuyang originally feared fans stirring trouble, but fans controlling comments directly disgusted readers; passersby seeing wouldn’t want to vote for them.
“Well done!”
Fans accidentally did good with bad intentions; to lose, must compete in rottenness, passersby not voting is perfect, see who has worse luck.
Just when they thought they controlled the situation, both sides’ votes suddenly rose rapidly, scaring the two.
Who, who did it, who clicked so many likes on their comments?
Xia Zan and Huang Chuyang hadn’t started investigating when the culprit behind jumped out.
“Musician check-in, you two come on!”
“Little musician came.”
Damn, Chi Leying fans come for vote exchange at this time?
Stop, don’t like anymore.
The two almost light-speed contacted support clubs to communicate, urgently contacted Chi Leying’s fans to stop their well-intentioned bad deeds.
Asked, it’s for fairness; they disdain vote manipulation!
Voting was stopped, but vote gap already opened; seeing own votes slightly ahead, Xia Zan’s mood was complex.
If he accidentally wins, wouldn’t all effort be wasted?
Yu Wei’s reward close at hand, he gritted teeth, finally decided to act.
“Vote for the opposite side.”
Xia Zan fans stunned hearing, not voting own is one thing, how enemy aid too.
What operation is this?
Make them vote for other man, own brother can only watch eagerly beside, this is really…
But in Xia Zan’s earnest tone, fans still went.
Huang Chuyang turned back to find himself inexplicably got tens of thousands votes, sky fell; Xia Zan this kid playing dirty, huh? You vote I vote too.
Amid readers and passersby’s confusion, two waves of fan circle fans actually started voting for each other, even spending money to brush a bit for opponent at end.
Too temperamental, true brothers.
Yu Wei accompanying Hu Xing practice singing was greatly shocked; what situation is his competition, each more abstract than last?
“Not this competitive spirit?”
