Chapter 210: The Legend Of The Fastest Collapse House
Xu Xinian walked into the Rehearsal Hall when Yu Wei was writing the key plot.
Although the Competition results weren’t out yet, the Outcome Relationship was already very obvious. He could completely finish writing the main text first and then fill in the Votes at the end.
“Teacher Yu, can you give some opinions later?”
Yu Wei was interrupted in his train of thought by the other party’s sudden words. There was a Music Supervisor and Vocal Teacher on-site, so why ask him to give opinions?
It was obvious he said this deliberately to flatter, seizing the opportunity to suck up…
The Music Supervisor didn’t have much to say either. After all, they had just witnessed Yu Wei’s professionalism. If he could give some guidance, that would be pretty good.
Yu Wei didn’t buy into this, but with the words already said to this extent, he could only say “No, no” to brush it off.
Being able to seize every opportunity to suck up at this time, this person was pretty good at finding entry points.
Xu Xinian nodded to the band, his fingertips repeatedly rubbing the Microphone handle, as if seeking some kind of support.
Yu Wei hadn’t heard this Reunion song that he chose, but he sang it pretty well. Although the voice was flat and lacking strength, the pitch was on the passing line without going off-key.
Nothing surprising, but for an Actor, his Performance was already quite decent.
Take Song Shu from the earlier Rehearsal, for example. Her voice conditions were passable but extremely unstable. Off-pitch and slow tempo aside, even worse, she forgot her lyrics and improvised a few lines that sounded completely unrelated…
Good and bad are relative. Compared to others, Xu Xinian’s “mediocrity” was at least presentable.
“Stop for a moment.” The Music Director’s voice came from the Intercom, particularly piercing in the quiet Recording Studio. “Xinian, the Chorus part needs more strength. You sound too stiff right now.”
“I understand, Teacher.”
Although somewhat sharp, this kind still had hope for salvation. Those beyond saving had already been arranged for half-open mic or lip-sync.
After all, it was a Live Broadcast, so they couldn’t just let them mess around. Better safe than sorry.
Yu Wei could actually understand. The Actors were pulled in by the Organizer as part-time jobs, and their professionalism didn’t match, so passable was fine.
Among this batch of Actors, Xu Xinian’s Performance was still okay, at least a 6 out of 10.
“What does Teacher Yu think?”
After stepping down, Xu Xinian came over to chat with Yu Wei right away. He wasn’t really seeking a critique; he just wanted more contact with Yu Wei.
Although both were Guests invited by the Concert, there was a Gap between Guests. Yu Wei was absolutely the standout in the crowd.
Not even talking about the current situation, this one’s Future was truly limitless. Building a good Relationship was definitely the right move.
“Pretty steady.”
Actually, at this kind of Gala, stability was much better than high-risk, high-reward. Xu Xinian might lack an upper limit, but he wouldn’t embarrass the Organizer either.
The two chatted casually for a bit, and Yu Wei had a decent impression of him. Good emotional intelligence and personality, a bit insincere but comfortable to talk to.
It was just delaying his writing a bit…
At three in the afternoon, all elements began Integration. This was the first full-stage Rehearsal of the day, simulating the complete Process of the actual Concert.
Yu Wei had to change into formal Performance Costume to experience the real Performance feel.
Only at this moment did the Rehearsal site finally produce a rare sense of urgency. Carefully calculating, there were only 27 hours left until the Concert officially began.
In the Organizer’s plan, today’s Rehearsal had to strive to Achieved the Standard of the formal Performance. Adjusting tomorrow might be too late.
“Teacher Yu Wei, please help us watch from the Audience Seat as well.”
Yu Wei was now more Staff than Staff. His Performance had earned recognition from the supervisors. Strong professionalism and a certain Deterrence effect made this task perfect for him.
Staff sitting in the audience wouldn’t be taken seriously by those Artists, but Yu Wei was different.
“No trouble at all.”
For Yu Wei, it really was no trouble—just the Difference between resting in the Lounge and resting in the Audience Seat. In the Audience Seat, he could even watch the show, which was nice.
After the Rehearsal began, Yu Wei started moving around different positions in the Audience Seat, experiencing the Differences in sound and light effects from different Angles.
This kind of Experience was one-of-a-kind. Other Guests didn’t have time, and Staff couldn’t during the formal Performance. He was probably the only one who could stroll around and watch the entire Concert.
If only he had some snacks, it would be perfect…
The Guests performing on stage had never seen such a Spectacle. Those who didn’t know might think they were street performers who had run into a real big shot today.
Yu Wei was originally just seeking novelty, but unexpectedly, while wandering, he really spotted a problem: the speakers on the left side of the VIP area were a bit unbalanced.
Yu Wei couldn’t have picked up on such minor Differences before, but since mastering the Castle in the Sky Piano Piece, his Auditory Perception had improved a lot. After all, Auditory Perception was a key skill in Piano Performance.
The VIP seats at the Concert were obviously for big shots. Treating them this way—was that asking for trouble?
When he notified the technical team to adjust, the Staff looked at him like a benefactor. Close call; their Livelihoods had almost been lost.
The other Guests were already too intimidated to speak. Seeing Yu Wei actually spot the problem left them even more speechless. Fine, you’re awesome!
The Rehearsal continued until eight in the evening. The final run was almost at the Standard of the formal Performance, with every link flowing naturally.
Everyone’s State was getting better and better. After all, they were all professionals. Those invited were basically Competition-type Contestants who got steadier closer to the Performance.
“Today’s results exceeded my Expectation. Gratitude to everyone’s professionalism and effort. The remaining parts will be fine-tuned tomorrow morning.”
After the Rehearsal ended, Director Wang Qi’s Recognition gave everyone a reassurance pill.
At this point, the Concert had resolved 90% of the problems. Tomorrow, they just needed to fix minor issues and optimize details to welcome the shining moment in the evening.
Right on time, Jiang Si Heng and Lu Ren Jia’s Voting deadline arrived. Yu Wei published a new Chapter while heading back to his Residence.
Jiang Si Heng’s victory was a no-brainer. He also chose the song “The Person Who Requests Songs” as Promised, which was a win-win-win in a sense.
The Fans of this song got an official version to listen to. Teacher Jiang should also gain quite a bit of Popularity from this song. In the current Entertainment Industry, balancing Traffic and Strength was the best choice.
Additionally, Peach Blossom Promise wasn’t selected again…
Plenty of people wanted to choose this song, but it hadn’t been picked four times in a row—kind of cursed.
The Concert’s Rehearsal was steadily improving, and Yu Wei finally relaxed a bit. Wanting to take advantage of his good State to write some of “The Devotion of Suspect X.”
Who knew, before he could act, Liu Ning called and told him a shocking big event: Xu Xinian had collapsed house.
“So sudden?”
Completely no foreshadowing. Yu Wei had even chatted with him that morning, and in less than half a day, he collapsed.
“Entertainment Industry collapses are just this sudden.” Liu Ning’s tone was exceptionally serious. “Collapses happen too fast to react, even the person involved can’t react…”
That was true. If the person involved had time to react, it wouldn’t collapse. Anyone with a bit of means would settle it in advance.
This incident must have been beyond Xu Xinian’s Expectation. If he had noticed anything, he wouldn’t have bothered getting close during the day.
Yu Wei had gossiped plenty about the Entertainment Industry online, but this was his first time gossiping so up close. What, big Gossip right by my side?
He wasn’t close to Xu Xinian, just a nodding acquaintance, so gossiping felt guilt-free.
Yu Wei wouldn’t sympathize with Infamous Artists, nor kick them when down. He just felt a bit emotional: life isn’t a Novel. Many people’s exits are sudden and quiet.
Like that classmate from class who never came back to School, the suddenly empty desk next to you, the old shop downstairs that closed—the Entertainment Industry’s rise and fall was no different.
“What happened?”
“Secretly dating, that’s all. Dating is one thing, but multiple Infidelity, caught red-handed by the official girlfriend. Now the whole net is full of evidence.”
After hearing it, Yu Wei wasn’t even surprised. Too many male Artists in this industry couldn’t control themselves.
Xu Xinian wasn’t from Idol background, but most Young Fresh Meat followed the Fan Circle route, with a lot of girlfriend fans and dream girls. Dating already hurt the foundation; Infidelity was hopeless.
Romance could still be spun as normal emotional Experience, but Infidelity violating public morality couldn’t be washed.
Based on Yu Wei’s understanding of this circle, the so-called official girlfriend probably wasn’t all that normal either—likely hooked up after meeting eyes at some Dinner Party.
He opened Weibo, and among the top five on the Trending Search List, three were related to Xu Xinian: #Xu Xinian Infidelity#, #Xu Xinian Girlfriend Posts#, #Xu Xinian Zhang Xi#.
Most fatally, the exposure content included a large number of private chat Screenshots, some particularly explicit— the kind that couldn’t pass review even in a Novel.
Tsk tsk tsk, pretty explosive.
Could only say people are too complicated. Yu Wei felt his good personality was real, and his ability wasn’t bad, but his playing around was real too. In interactions, you only see one side.
Yu Wei remembered a quote from some unknown Artist: “Everyone in the circle is like this; he was just unlucky to get caught.”
If you don’t want people to know, don’t do it. Once exploded out, just admit it—no point arguing.
This wasn’t a simple Scandal, but solid Infidelity evidence. As a Public Figure, this kind of Morality issue was devastating to his career.
Plus, whether there were legal issues was still unclear…
“Almost nailed. The evidence from the woman is too specific—even describing the birthmark on his body clearly, and the timeline is spot on.”
Honestly, Liu Ning hadn’t seen it much either. Considering her own Artist, she had a measure for people Yu Wei had contacted.
She thought Xu Xinian was okay, but unexpectedly… could only say you never really know someone.
Fortunately, Yu Wei hadn’t interacted much with him, not even attended any Dinner Party, so no impact.
For Yu Wei, “different paths, no need to walk together” was enough.
Ultimately, Xu Xinian had hidden it too well—not just fooling Liu Ning, but even the Organizer.
“What about the Concert?”
At this point, Yu Wei realized too. The Entertainment Industry lost an irrelevant Infamous Artist, but the Concert had done several rounds of Rehearsal, and the Program List was set.
During the day, he was still thinking Xu Xinian’s Singing Skill wouldn’t embarrass the Organizer—who knew he’d embarrass them from another Angle…
“For small or medium Performances, they might turn a blind eye, but for a large-scale Gala with official backing, no way he’d stay.”
Xu Xinian’s negative topics had accumulated over ten million discussions in two hours, growing exponentially. With this level of Public Opinion, letting him perform as usual would be slapping their own face.
The higher-ups wouldn’t tolerate a grain of sand.
As long as Xu Xinian’s Company Public Relations was strong, he might still scrape by in the Entertainment Industry, but this year’s Concert—he definitely wouldn’t perform.
“Tomorrow night is the formal Performance, and he picks this time to collapse house.”
Didn’t expect a Big Shot to give me chapter push. Return the favor, though can’t compare in volume. Grateful heart, thanks for you~
