Chapter 13: Didn’t You Forgive Me? Why Are You Still Chasing Me To Curse?
“Are you saying that a writer of an Entertainment Novel wrote this song ‘Heart Wall’ five days ago…”
Guo Yao’s gaze was filled with doubt.
Such an outrageous thing she definitely wouldn’t believe, but seeing her husband’s dazed expression, her intuition told her this matter was not simple.
She knew her husband best; though he usually acted carefree and unserious, he rarely lied to her, and his current appearance was completely bewildered.
“Right, even the lyrics match.”
Cheng Hai Peng then remembered to open the Novel Software to show his wife; the book’s table of contents had chapter release times, and the ‘Heart Wall’ chapter was indeed released five days ago…
This author actually wrote a song that would appear in the future ahead of time?
Thinking of this, Cheng Hai Peng inexplicably felt a strange sensation rising in his heart; this was a bit too outrageous.
Other Plagiarist novels copy past works, but this guy actually copied future ones; he couldn’t possibly be a Prophet, so he must have special channels.
“Could it be…” Guo Yao also saw the chapter’s release time and muttered to herself: “Is it possible that this book was written by Yu Wei?”
Before the song’s release, who else besides the creator would know the work’s information?
“How could that be?” Cheng Hai Peng casually flipped through a few pages of the novel. “How could a Star possibly come write a novel, and daily updates at that? Got nothing better to do?”
“Seems like it.”
Guo Yao quickly dismissed this possibility; she didn’t like reading novels, but hearing her husband say that even Failures didn’t make much money.
Already a Star, no need to come write novels.
Stepping back ten thousand steps, even if this Star had a desire to create and had wanted to write novels since childhood, why write this? Entertainment?
A professional, why bother writing this?
“Maybe Yu Wei’s assistant, or staff around him…”
Cheng Hai Peng nodded; though these people probably wouldn’t write Entertainment Novels either, it was at least far more believable than the Star himself.
He simply posted a few Book Reviews in the Book Friend circle, wanting to discuss with other Readers, but unfortunately after two hours no one paid him any attention.
This book’s Readers had basically all run away…
There were only twenty or thirty Readers to begin with, and Entertainment Readers basically wouldn’t read Boy Group stuff; they probably hadn’t even heard this song.
He himself had only heard the song by a stroke of luck thanks to his wife; though he noticed it right away, unfortunately there was no one to discuss it with.
Thinking of this, Cheng Hai Peng actually felt a bit lonely.
If only there were more Readers.
……
[“Does your program not have a Script at all?”
Wei Yu anyway didn’t believe it; though Talent Show programs’ scripts weren’t as obvious as Reality Shows, for Program Effect, they definitely had some designs.
“Our program doesn’t do that.”
Chief Director Ren Wei waved her hand, seemingly taking Wei Yu’s words as a Joke; her calm and composed demeanor really made Voice of Dreams seem like it had no Script…
In reality, their program had plenty of scripts, and many contestants’ so-called personal experiences had been somewhat edited.
But could they let Wei Yu know about this?
This guy feared neither heaven nor earth; a few days ago at the Awards Ceremony he offended quite a few people, scoring without mercy, slapping everyone who came.
If he knew about the Script, who knows what score he’d give the program.]
Yu Wei renewed the contract and returned home late at night, but he still forced himself to write half a chapter, barely opening the second Variety Show Instance.
Staying up late to write was once his daily routine; this level of intensity was barely manageable…
Variety Show plot was the segment where Yu Wei was best at writing Entertainment; after all, his Debut Work was a novel starting with a Variety Show, and the data was pretty good.
He had almost thought he was born to eat this bowl of rice, but the dismal end of his second book quickly made him recognize reality.
Before entering this gate, seeing Big Shots is like a frog in a well viewing the moon; once entered, seeing Big Shots is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.
“When can I become a High-quality product Big Shot?”
Yu Wei casually checked his Follow-up Read, only to find it was four… single digits; he probably couldn’t even get on Recommendation.
No way around it; who let him poison the Readers away?
Didn’t know if any Readers had heard this song; this Boy Group Performance probably wouldn’t have too many viewers.
In the novel, the male lead sings a song and instantly explodes across the Internet, topping Trending Search easily; but in the current environment, even fine wine fears deep alleys…
Without Promotion and marketing, excellent works might still go viral, but the process is definitely not easy.
No matter how good the song, if no one’s heard it, it won’t catch fire.
RUIKO1’s Farewell Performance was a niche program to begin with; live broadcast viewers were mostly Core Fans who came with their own fandom.
They had their Brother filling their hearts and eyes; how would they discuss him?
Luckily their Company made an effort, specially reposting the ‘Heart Wall’ Concert Video on the official account, allowing more people to hear this song…
As long as there are listeners, this song going viral is just a matter of Time; ‘Heart Wall’ might not be god-level Music, but it’s still much stronger than current Pop Music.
With his song stirring things up, the RUIKO1 Disbandment itself wasn’t discussed much anymore; he had finally eaten from the Boy Group bowl of rice.
Though it was a breakup meal and Execution Meal.
“Such a flavorful song, feels like dreaming back ten years ago; this is really written by Yu Wei?”
“Don’t know; such a top-tier song wouldn’t be used to prop up newcomers, right? Who’d bear to? Probably his Original.”
“So handsome, and can write songs; how hasn’t he caught fire yet?”
Yu Wei loved hearing this.
Praising the song as good, he’d just nod; after all, he didn’t write the song and knew his own limits, but praising him as handsome really made him happy.
Yu Wei subconsciously opened the Author Backstage, and sure enough found three new Comments.
Cheng Hai Peng, a bit familiar…
This Reader had cursed him multiple times in a row, three or four at a time; even across the Internet, he could see the resentment between the lines.
Belongs to being driven mad by a Dog Author.
“This author must be a Prophet; I heard ‘Heart Wall’.”
This was commented after the Performance ended.
Sure enough, someone had heard the song; just as Yu Wei thought, he knew Readers would forgive him after hearing it…
An hour after this Comment, he asked again.
“Why’s no one here? Does no one read this book?”
Indeed.
Yu Wei had no way around this either; he wanted more Readers, but alas, no method.
New book Entry into the library’s Recommendation mechanism looks at data; better Recommendation effect means higher position, poor data gets tossed anywhere.
Yu Wei’s book, after group friends boosted data explosively then lost a ton of Readers from bookshelves, probably looked blacklisted to the AI…
Cheng Hai Peng’s third Comment was posted ten minutes ago.
“Where’s the Money-Sprinkling Author? Come out here.”
Buddy, after hearing the song shouldn’t you forgive him? Why keep cursing?
This wasn’t quite matching what he imagined.
Just as Yu Wei was wondering whether to reply to him, his Mobile Phone timely popped up a new friend request: I’m An Shi Le.
He remembered this ID even more; the swan song of the Shi family…
“Holy crap, doxxing?”
This Yu Wei hadn’t expected; after singing, the first to find him were surprisingly the two Hatters who left the deepest impression.
One was the highest mountain cursing him, single characters dealing critical hits; one was the longest river cursing him, chasing with combo strikes.
As if to remind him, An Shi Le sent another friend request, changing the verification message to:
Open the door, sending blades.
