Chapter 129: Don’t Bully The Poor Youth
[Exchange Requirement: Chapter 8 follow-up read count greater than 100.]
Looking at the long-missed new book period exchange data, Yu Wei shed comforted tears; it was still best at the time of just getting started.
Now the exchange data easily reaches tens of thousands; it’s simply inhuman…
It can only be said that each period has its own Long March road; for the new book period, 100 follow-up reads really isn’t easy.
Many failures carry double digits follow-up reads from going on sale to completion; the creative process is comparable to single-player.
But entertainment won’t be like that; entertainment novels come with traffic, and no matter how bad they are written, someone will click to take a look…
It seems Qi Luo An has already written “Malice” in the plot, which is why the exchange panel appeared.
The good thing about plagiarizing novels is that works can come out as soon as they’re asked to; no need to wait, unlike plagiarizing movies or songs, where the performance takes two or three chapters to write.
Just don’t know when she reached 100 follow-up reads; if natural growth can achieve it, that’s naturally good, but if it’s really a failure, then Yu Wei can only post a chapter recommendation to save it.
“First write today’s plot.”
Later he still has to go recording program; writing must seize every second, otherwise dawdling in the broadcast hall means getting stuck again when returning home at night.
Yu Wei plans to start firing the first shot against fan circle idols today, letting the down-and-out Jiang Si Heng who went to be a music teacher take on a small boy group idol.
Why say small? Because he is the family third generation, just turned adult not long ago, and came to participate in his competition purely for the song.
It can only be said impetuous; many brothers and older sisters in their thirties and forties in the entertainment industry are still zero-work gods of war, so what’s there for a teenager to be anxious about.
Just right, today let a professional music teacher give the young one a lesson…
Jiang Si Heng’s singing video is truly exaggerated; at dusk, the huge music classroom only has one slant of sunlight left, in the empty classroom, he is the only protagonist.
Although it’s a simple guitar vocal performance, the atmosphere is maxed out; when he opens his mouth to hum and sing, his voice is hoarse and soft, the singing swirling in the quiet classroom.
When he plays immersed, his body leans slightly forward, as if confiding unlistened heart matters to the guitar.
At the end of the song, his hands heavily fall back to his knees, the lingering sound quickly dissipates in the emptiness, leaving deeper silence than before.
This is art…
In contrast, the little idol’s video, singing with a pinched throat sounds awkward no matter how you listen, breaking voice directly on the high note.
If it’s bad-sounding that’s one thing, but he insists on making exaggerated actions in the camera shot, sometimes immersed sometimes intoxicated, then a deep eye contact with the camera, a bit creepy.
Maybe his fans eat this up, probably can be charmed to death.
But Yu Wei won’t show obvious differential treatment in the novel; both have similar playtime, just say the performance effect is good for both.
As for who is good and who is bad, let the readers and netizens decide.
As soon as the new chapter and video are released, readers quickly gathered; everyone seems unfamiliar with the two contestants in this competition.
“Who is this Jiang Si Heng? Never heard of him.”
“Young person, I think 90s should all know him; his “Solo Journey” was very popular back then, but don’t know why he disappeared after.”
“Then who is this Chen Zichen?”
“Really don’t know this one.”
“Holy crap, Yu Wei is so strong, even found Brother Jiang, tearing up, my youth.”
It’s clear netizens are very excited about the return of the old singer; after all, they truly have strength, and carry part of the listeners’ memories.
In the early years without internet, snow-hiding a singer was too easy; the lucky ones could make a comeback, but the unlucky ones could only face reality.
Idols and fan circles may have their reasons to exist, but truly talented musicians undoubtedly deserve to be liked by the public more.
Actually sometimes Yu Wei himself wants to vote, but the author’s like will show up, which somewhat affects fairness, so he never had the chance.
Fortunately, the masses’ eyes are bright; Jiang Si Heng’s like count rises very fast, netizens are basically all praising.
Only one bad review scolds him for not coming back to see for so many years, truly not human… but in the end, still mutters it’s good he’s back.
Early song fans and movie fans may not be as crazy as today’s fan circle fans, but they move with true emotion, still remembered deeply after a decade or eight years.
This competition was also called the most humane episode of “Enthusiastic Praise Top Streamer”; no fan circle ranking or abstract fun, only the return of old generation musicians.
New generation musicians still need to settle down…
The little idol actually already has quite a few fan circle fans even dream girls, but he originally wanted to lose, so didn’t let fans come to vote manipulation.
If comparing real strength, he indeed only has the share of being crushed.
Yu Wei saw time was about right, then packed up and went to the program recording site; this time he must properly thank Teacher Meng.
Worth mentioning, he also wrote Teacher Meng into the new chapter, but as a mentor same as protagonist Wei Yu.
His prestige and stature, being a mentor is not excessive.
When Yu Wei arrived at the broadcast hall, as expected the director team stopped him, saying the agreed avoidance of program broadcast updates?
This week their program’s real-time playback volume dropped a full 13% compared to last week; though not entirely due to Yu Wei’s novel, the impact is definitely not small.
“I didn’t expect the thing with Qi Xi to blow up either.”
Entertainment industry things, when the wall falls everyone pushes is normal, plus Qi Xi’s fans offended quite a few people, once something happens it’s definitely hyped hot.
“No matter, go in.”
Cheng Xu sighed but didn’t say anything; in the end, it’s their program not good enough, what should be theirs others can’t snatch, what isn’t theirs can’t be kept even if guarded.
Looks like the program needs to quickly make revisions, otherwise definitely bad end in old age…
When Yu Wei entered the broadcast hall, Meng Han and Su Xinnan were chatting idly; Shen Yutong flew for two periods and left, this period should have a new replacement guest.
“Thank you, Teacher Meng; otherwise I wouldn’t have the chance to know so many talented musicians.”
Since coming here, most of his time has been dealing with the younger generation; this generation can be called the end of dharma age, one by one going the idol route, not many with real strength.
Until yesterday receiving registration information from several, Yu Wei realized the information cocoon; this green field never lacks geniuses, just he didn’t discover.
What he sees is only a corner of the entertainment industry…
“I was just chatting this with Teacher Su; I have to thank you on behalf of Little Jiang and them, otherwise with their personalities they would eventually give up music.”
This is Meng Han’s heartfelt words; over these years, watching colleagues like him one by one switch careers or quit the circle, it really feels bad inside.
He also wants to pull everyone along, let them persist a bit more, but one can’t understand others’ suffering, can’t advise others to be good; others’ roads aren’t as smooth as his, what position does he have to advise.
But Yu Wei is different; he can do many things he can’t, like using fake competition to bring the people around him one by one into his rhythm.
Whether for the entertainment industry or music scene, Yu Wei’s behavior is pioneering, of great significance.
“Exactly; I also know a few talented singers, introduce you another day.”
Yu Wei believes Su Xinnan’s words, because when Shen Yutong first came only she acted very familiar, maybe compared to reclusive musicians, her as a social butterfly has broader connections.
“Thanks.”
Yu Wei returned to his guest seat and sat down; he increasingly feels this fake competition is getting better and better, not only talented people competing, now even real mentors are here.
If it goes on like this, can he open a fake company, gather all these people together, form a force that can’t be ignored.
While Yu Wei was fantasizing, Meng Han suddenly stuffed him a business card, with a psychologist’s contact info.
“When free… when pressure is high, can go see.”
What does this mean?
“Teacher Meng is not kind, have resources but not recommend to me.”
Quite a few stars go to psychologists; after all, pressure in this industry isn’t small, the glass-hearted ones easily explode.
But there are also those pretending to be sick; can only say depression has such bad online reputation, inseparable from this group pretending to be ill.
Meng Han suddenly felt some helplessness; he introduced it to Yu Wei for psychological relief, what mess are you adding.
He specially prepared it for Yu Wei, naturally no more.
“Thanks.”
Yu Wei thinks he has no psychological problems, body is great eats everything, but he still took the business card.
Wait for another day when he doesn’t want to write and ask for leave, use this reason…
While they were talking, this period’s guest performer arrived late; under Yu Wei’s surprised gaze, walked into the broadcast hall.
“Long time no see, Yu Wei.”
Qi Yuan smoothly came to the guest seat and sat down, seeming to have rehearsed many times, from going on stage to sitting perfectly smooth, even the staff were a bit stunned.
This day of meeting again, he had been looking forward to for a long time…
“You are?”
Qi Yuan’s pupils shook violently upon hearing, the earlier dash vanished instantly.
“Joking, you don’t know this meme?”
Generally, not as good as Qi Luo An.
Qi Yuan calmly shook his head, then regained composure; Zhang Lingye once evaluated him as a man without sense of humor, but the things he does are very humorous.
He doesn’t deny the first half, for the second half he already beat Zhang Lingye, but didn’t win…
“I’m here for revenge.”
Honestly Yu Wei almost couldn’t hold it; although he knows what Qi Yuan means, saying it so openly is too chūnibyō.
“But the revenge isn’t on you, it’s on fate.”
“…”
Performing “Thunderstorm” here?
Qi Yuan’s expression serious, not like joking; after special training from grandmother, he is already different from before, even if still not Yu Wei’s opponent, at least make him suffer a bit.
“You must be looking down on me in your heart, no need to explain, I know, mere defeated opponent, you must think that.”
“?”
Yu Wei swears he didn’t think that; others rely on real skills, he as a cheater why look down on others.
“This time I will definitely make you look at me differently.”
Qi Yuan frowned, seeming to want to add one more line, but held it for half a day without coming out…
“You wouldn’t want to say, thirty years east of the river thirty years west, don’t bully the poor youth, right.”
“That’s good.”
Qi Yuan didn’t chūnibyō to recite it again; meaning conveyed is enough, they think defeating me is the end, but I will return and rewrite it.
“Also, stay away from Qi Luo An, that person…”
“Bad to the bone!”
Qi Yuan enunciated each word gnashing teeth, those who don’t know think it’s a deadly enemy’s name.
Yu Wei didn’t even have the nerve to tell him that actually they were together watching television last night.
Except Qi Yuan, all Qi family members were there.
Those who don’t know would think they are a family of four.
Daywan check-in day five.
