Chapter 168: Yu Wei Finally Lost It
Just thinking about writing that AI singer Yu Wei makes me want to laugh…
The follow-up on the keyboard endorsement will be handled by his agent Sister Liu, and Yu Wei doesn’t need to worry. His top priority now is writing the book.
Last time, when the editor asked about signing, Yu Wei casually mentioned the matter of “web novels going overseas.” He couldn’t speak for other places, but Europe was probably where someone would read it.
Before leaving, he went shopping with Qi Luo An, and quite a few foreigners recognized him, which could be considered accumulating some international prestige.
The editor’s reply was that they were preparing, but they had to wait for the next batch. Web novels going overseas couldn’t be released one by one; they were all packaged together.
The next wave would be at the end of the year, not too long away, and the platform was already arranging people for translation…
The website wasn’t doing charity. If Yu Wei’s novel really made it big overseas, it would absolutely be a great thing for them, bringing both fame and fortune.
They had a dedicated department interfacing with overseas markets, and many people in Europe were indeed very interested in Yu Wei’s novel, with some even spontaneously reposting it.
Many of them were domestic students studying abroad. Seeing how popular Yu Wei’s entertainment novel was, those with strong hands-on skills directly started transporting and translating it.
They weren’t fools and knew there was a cultural barrier, so they specifically picked the novel plots of “Sound Mixer” and “Castle in the Sky” to post.
Foreigners had no concept of “plagiarist novels,” so they could only understand it as Yu Wei using the novel to advertise his own works.
But even so, this creation form still felt very novel to foreigners, even giving a weird sense of worship…
This form similar to a “murder signal” was too cool for them.
Yu Wei writing his own works in the novel was like a pre-announced murder signal. No matter how the “victim” guarded against it, they couldn’t escape in the end.
This creation form was too elegant. A strong, personality-filled, even somewhat evil person would easily be popular there.
Although this persona was entirely their baseless association…
In the eyes of some Europeans, Yu Wei was already a versatile, carefree artist. One could only say that brain supplement was a human commonality, the same everywhere in the world.
Yu Wei didn’t think about all that nonsense. Whether it went overseas or not didn’t matter; domestic readers were his family and old irons, foreigners were just by chance.
After adjusting his state, he quickly entered the novel’s creation process.
“Enthusiastic Praise Top Streamer,” activated.
[A spotlight hits the center of the stage. Zhang Wei, wearing a colorful white spliced suit and holding a pink microphone, appears with his signature mischievous smile.
A fusion of electronic music and nursery rhyme bell sounds rings out. The bizarre mixed style instantly silences the entire venue.
No one expected the second round competition’s opening to be so unconventional.
The song’s prelude is very humorous and joyful, to the point of being unexpected. This type of song had never appeared on the program before.
Below the stage, the five judges exchanged puzzled gazes.
Well-known music producer Su Xiao Nan slightly furrows his brow, leaning forward to stare at the stage; rock veteran Meng Han crosses his arms, expression serious; pop singer Lin Xiao Yi blinks, showing a puzzled look.
Only the domestic entertainment scoring bro Wei Yu is already nodding lightly to the rhythm, with an expectant smile on his lips.
Whispers come from the audience seats: “Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse, this is the competition song, no mistake, right?”]
Yu Wei finished writing the plot for the new song. This time, the exchange data requirement was still monthly tickets, but a bit higher than last time.
He didn’t dare delay. After finishing the first chapter, he got up and went to the company to record the song. As for the second chapter and singing video, he’d handle them later when busy.
Readers finished the new chapter full of confusion. What does it mean, a humorous and witty song?
The reason everyone called Yu Wei the music pastor was mainly because many of his songs were very healing, sorrowful but not injuring, ultimately making everyone relieved.
Or purely positive energy songs, giving everyone courage and strength, making everyone run forward and accept their own mediocrity.
Humorous and witty style songs had absolutely nothing to do with him…
To put it this way, Yu Wei’s few discarded drafts were basically sorrowful or positive energy. Discarded drafts were for trying new things.
He hadn’t even tried joyful songs in his discarded drafts, so one can imagine Yu Wei’s familiarity with this music style.
“Although but, isn’t this native’s name too common? Feels like shouting it out on the street and there’d always be a Zhang Wei.”
“I’ve cried listening to Yu Wei’s songs several times, but laughing while listening? Not really, I deeply doubt it.”
“Indeed, I believe Yu Wei is a fun person in life, but his works are one more serious and restrained than the other. How could it be humorous?”
“You forgot, his ‘Charlotte Troubles’ is a comedy. Maybe he really understands this style.”
One sentence wakes the dreamer. Right, among the works Yu Wei wrote into the novel, there are still two in completely unknown states.
One is the rock song “Blue Lotus,” and the other is the movie “Charlotte Troubles.”
The movie “A Man’s Martial World” at least detailed the plot, but for this comedy movie, they were completely in the dark.
If he can write comedy movies, maybe he can also come up with a humorous, fun, family-friendly song…
Most readers and netizens were skeptical about this. Not to mention the movie hasn’t been released yet and they don’t know the quality, even if the movie is good, it has no direct relation to songs.
Music and film and television works have basically no similarity at the creation level. Yu Wei can also write wuxia songs; can he write wuxia scripts?
Joyful songs are quite difficult to write well. Mainly, the song title “Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse” doesn’t reveal what it’s about.
Usually white horses appear in fairy tales, so is Yu Wei planning to make a fairy tale-style comedy song?
Things are different now. Every move Yu Wei makes is noticed by everyone, and the news that he was writing a joyful song quickly spread.
Most netizens didn’t think too much about it. Just look forward to it. When has Yu Wei ever disappointed them…
No, his update frequency is quite disappointing.
Netizens were discussing Yu Wei’s new song heatedly, but at this time, Yu Wei was busy recording the song. This song wasn’t easy to sing well.
Second round competition, he had to bring at least 70% of his strength to sing, or else he’d easily be picked off by good-for-nothings.
The biggest difficulty of this song actually wasn’t singing skill, but emotion and state. Big Teacher is a wonder; only he can sing his songs with that flavor.
If sung by someone else, it easily turns into a clumsy imitation.
The creative inspiration for “Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse” came from Big Teacher’s recording in “Follow Bell to Travel.”
The harsh recording environment and program content pushed him to the brink of collapse, and in such a situation, the most beautiful thing he could think of was surprisingly “sunshine rainbow little white horse.”
Sunshine rainbow little white horse is actually a projection of his self-healing imagery.
Yu Wei tried many times before vaguely finding that feeling. This is a song playful yet warm, so the singing process must be upbeat, not stiff.
Music supervisor Hong Hui, who participated in the entire recording, seemed to have the door to a new world opened. This was the first time he saw Yu Wei like this.
This song surprised him. He didn’t expect Yu Wei, with his serious musical style, to produce such a cheerful song.
The first time he heard Yu Wei sing it, he almost couldn’t hold it together, but after listening a few more times, he surprisingly discovered that he hadn’t laughed from the heart like this in a long time.
Maybe that’s the meaning of this song. No so much nonsense, just using cheerful melody and addictive singing method to make everyone happy.
When Yu Wei finished recording and went to the technical department for sound mixing, Hong Hui surprisingly found his mind full of the addictive lyrics.
At this time, the netizens still didn’t know what they were about to face.
……
“I beg you to leave quickly.”
Shen Yutong had been sticking around these past two days without leaving, which made Qi Luo An, who wanted to do explosive updates and go on sale, quite painful.
She still wanted to do ten updates to show Yu Wei her strength, but with someone peeping, how could she write?
One lie requires countless lies to cover. Since she couldn’t say it the first time, it became even harder to say later.
“You’re actually proactively chasing me away? Looks like you’re really hiding something from me.”
Shen Yutong was sharp-eyed and clear-hearted. Her best friend’s little thoughts couldn’t fool her. This matter was probably related to Yu Wei.
She wasn’t trying to cause trouble. If Qi Luo An said once that it was inconvenient to say, she would know to stop. But since this guy refused to admit it, she couldn’t be blamed for pestering relentlessly.
“How is that possible.”
Qi Luo An awkwardly coughed twice. Wasn’t this being forced with no choice?
She was thinking of what topic to use to muddle through when Yu Wei sent two video files, obviously today’s competition video.
“I’m about to get busy and might not be able to take care of you, so I asked you to go back.”
Qi Luo An helping Yu Wei manage his account was something Shen Yutong knew. She didn’t avoid it at all, directly logging into the account to upload the video.
“Has the new song been released?”
Shen Yutong couldn’t care about pressing further and hurriedly took out her mobile phone to open the novel software. She was still used to reading directly in the easter egg chapter.
Yu Wei’s songs and novels were one of the few things that could distract her…
At the end of the new chapter, the voting for this match between the two contestants also began. One was the native Zhang Wei who appeared in the noon chapter, and his opponent was Su Jian.
Su Jian advanced in the first round with “giao,” obviously relying on luck. Getting this far was already enough for him; going further would be hard to convince the crowd.
Giving a man a fish is less than teaching him to fish. He really wasn’t suited to be a singer. Even arranging a weak opponent for him to keep winning had no meaning.
Yu Wei always talked about fair competition on his lips, so he naturally couldn’t keep promoting his acquaintances. For Su Jian, skyrocketing popularity through abstract was already his fortune.
He won the first round through comedy; now losing to a real comedy work was also decent. Continuing to muddle would be overdoing it.
Leaving like this, no one gets hurt.
Su Jian’s singing skill was poor, and this time without Yu Wei’s advice, he knew he couldn’t advance, so he didn’t bother getting a guest singer.
He casually picked a song he liked. It wasn’t sung well but was sincere, and no netizens criticized him for it.
With complex moods, they finally clicked on “Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse” brought by the AI native Zhang Wei.
Just as written in Yu Wei’s plot, this song’s prelude is very cheerful, completely unlike his previous music styles.
“How can you cry? Everything will be okay~
Everything go away, you gotta think
Since there’s no way, why still hate him
Why care about it, remember in your heart.”
The nearly childish lyrics and melody stunned the audience. Damn, this is written by Yu Wei? He’s not this style either?
These lyrics could already be described as nonsensical. They thought Su Jian’s “giao” was already very abstract, but didn’t expect there to be a master.
Yu Wei’s opening four lines, seriously doing abstract, were scarier than deliberately doing abstract.
What is this, leading with abstract to bring later abstract?
Hearing this, they even had the illusion that Yu Wei was possessed. This song was really beyond their expectations, and they didn’t know what stimulated it…
Shen Yutong furrowed her brows tightly, somewhat unable to believe her ears. This was actually Yu Wei’s work.
Where was that musician with delicate, poetic lyrics she knew before?
Yu Wei had finally gone crazy.
