Chapter 244: Just How Much Inventory Do You Have?
Is this lyrics?
Anyone who’s watched variety shows knows that mini-games are just going through the process, creating some program effect, and it’s impossible to really let guests fail the challenge.
If the real challenge fails, how can the program continue?
As long as Yu Wei casually picks a song, everyone turns a blind eye and it’s over, but this guy comes up and directly says something no one has heard.
“Teacher Yu Wei, the rule is to follow with a lyric starting with ‘wei’…”
Is what you said really lyrics? Are you teasing everyone?
The program team’s attitude is very clear: just go through the process and it’s fine, but you can’t make it up, otherwise you’ll be laughed at by the audience.
“This is lyrics.”
Yu Wei hears this and is no longer sleepy. Saying I made up songs casually again? Since his debut, when has he ever made up songs?
These are all ready-made songs!
Real lyrics? Qi Luo An didn’t even think this was lyrics. She thought Yu Wei was playing with memes and telling cold jokes. What werewolf appearance? Is this even serious lyrics?
You say this is lyrics, do you have evidence…
“It’s lyrics, but the work hasn’t been released yet.”
Song relay, isn’t an unreleased song still a song? Your rules didn’t say it has to be an old song, so what’s wrong with me singing inventory?
Several staff members look at each other. Of course they understand what Yu Wei means, but the camera is still recording, all recorded on file.
When the program airs, there has to be a reason to convince everyone, right? It doesn’t matter if they believe it; the audience has to believe it.
Yu Wei immediately understands the program team’s meaning upon hearing this. So they want him to sing it, to prove that the lyrics are lyrics…
It’s not a problem at all. With his current level, casually singing two lines is a piece of cake. No need to sing the whole song at this time; two lines to get the point across is fine.
Yu Wei clears his throat and smoothly sings out those few memorable lyrics.
“For you, I turn into werewolf appearance
For you, I catch the madness.”
Looking like two lines out of nowhere, but Yu Wei sings them and they sound pretty good. The melody style is very retro, quite flavorful, and doesn’t seem made up on the spot.
Could there really be such a song?
Combined with the rumor that Yu Wei has a lot of inventory, they have good reason to believe that this guy is telling the truth; this is indeed his unreleased new song.
That makes sense. How could Yu Wei not have this level of song reserves? He must have said it on purpose, taking advantage of the program finale to advertise his new song.
For the program team, this is naturally a great thing. The mini-game segment turned into a new song release by Yu Wei; the popularity will only be higher.
Yu Wei probably wants to boost the popularity of Music Blind Box one last time too. Teacher Yu really cares about their program.
It’s like this, so what else is there to say? Just count the challenge as completed, right?
“It really is a song.”
Qi Luo An is somewhat used to it, feeling like anything this person says casually could be lyrics. That’s reputation.
The program team isn’t stupid. At this point, there’s no need to stick to the game rules. Yu Wei uses this opportunity to shake out his inventory; the program effect is countless times better than just following the script.
Anyway, it’s all just going through the process. Isn’t this development better now?
Hearing the message of successful team formation, Qi Luo An turns around, her face blooming with a brilliant smile mixed with a sense of achievement and relief.
Almost without hesitation, she steps forward and gently hugs the still dazed Yu Wei.
???
Yu Wei didn’t expect her to be so direct. After being hugged, he freezes for a moment, but it feels pretty good…
It’s not a long hug, even carrying a bit of cautious probing.
Qi Luo An’s arms just lightly wrap around his waist side, her cheek pausing briefly on the fabric of Yu Wei’s shoulder. She can feel Yu Wei’s body slightly tense from the surprise.
A faint, fresh floral-fruity scent from her shampoo quietly enters Yu Wei’s nose, wonderfully blending with the heat emanating from him after intense exercise.
He almost instinctively raises his hand and lightly pats Qi Luo An’s back twice, as if afraid to startle this butterfly pausing briefly.
Yes, this is how we celebrate successful team formation…
“Team formation successful!”
Qi Luo An’s voice carries a joyful breathy tone. Then she lets go, stepping back half a step to create the perfect social distance, as if it was really just a simple celebration.
She doesn’t dare to look straight into Yu Wei’s eyes again, instead quickly raising her hand to tuck a stray lock of long hair behind her ear. This subtle little action reveals the ripples in her heart at this moment.
This guy hugged back just now; that’s what made her happiest. She really came to the right program this time.
Yu Wei’s hand is still suspended in mid-air, the fleeting warmth and softness in his arms stirring his heart.
Too bad autumn clothes are still a bit thick…
The nearby camera crew members cough dryly a few times. If you say it’s a celebration, then it’s a celebration. Who can outshine you two?
“Teacher Yu, this segment…”
They’re asking for Yu Wei’s opinion: should this segment stay in the main episode? If he doesn’t want it, the program team will still respect the person’s wishes.
“Keep it.”
Yu Wei has already let it go. Nothing stolen or robbed; no need to hide it. If he hides it, Qi Luo An will be heartbroken.
Netizens already know about this anyway. Just let it be natural.
The staff exchange glances. For the program team, it’s definitely better to keep it: it has popularity and is a famous scene. Just treat it as giving some grain to the CP fans online…
Song inventory preview plus famous scene; the program main episode ratings are guaranteed.
“What next?”
Blind box close friend found, so what’s next? Where are the other teammates? Only when everyone is together can they fight as a group; he needs to decide what to sing in advance.
“Draw blind boxes in sequence, find the other civilian contestants one by one.”
The program main episode content is mainly about finding people: first gather everyone, then select songs, practice singing, and prepare the performance.
The process is simple. The program brings out Yu Wei’s several blind boxes again. This time, Yu Wei unhesitatingly selects “Top Black Fan An An.” He’s curious who this is exactly…
“He’s An An, then who am I?”
Qi Luo An didn’t expect a civilian guest to do this. If she really misleads Yu Wei, it’ll be all over.
Good thing Yu Wei kept an eye out; otherwise, she wouldn’t even have a place to cry.
Yu Wei hasn’t been to the prompted address before and can’t tell who it is for the moment. But with the blind box close friend along, the road won’t be boring.
Actually, the reminiscing and chatting on the way during the finding people segment are the real highlights of the main episode. Music carries not just these people, but their respective stories.
But Yu Wei and Qi Luo An are exceptions. The stars and civilians in other groups haven’t seen each other for a long time, so reminiscing will have lots of topics. But these two are as familiar as can be; there’s nothing to say on the road.
Perhaps the schedule is too boring; the two coincidentally take out their mobile phones and start writing. This is something the program team didn’t expect.
They simply shoot a few shots. Not from the same family, not entering the same door? Maybe this is just the daily life of a young couple?
Yu Wei has already decided what plot to write today, but he still needs to wait for Senior Xiang Huai Xue’s competition results before updating.
He plans to make a folk song for Meng Lei, to free of charge get him and his son to film together: father-son soldiers on the field.
The destination is a piano store on the street side. Yu Wei racks his brains for a long time but can’t remember who it is. Among his partners from previous episodes, who can play piano?
“Rio-chan might?”
Qi Luo An isn’t too sure either. Through the glass, she can vaguely see the furnishings inside the piano store.
Yu Wei pushes open the glass door, and the wind chimes ring crisply. The lobby is spacious and bright; next to it, the guzheng area has five high-quality guzhengs quietly displayed, very eye-catching.
After the two explain their purpose to the person in charge of the piano store, the person in charge enthusiastically introduces the task point. They arrive at the door and hear stumbling piano sound from inside the piano room.
Yu Wei looks through the glass window on the door and sees a young girl intensely practicing piano, but her technique is very raw.
Especially her way of pressing the piano keys always feels like groping around. Yu Wei gently pushes open the door; the one sitting there playing piano is Lin Yuting.
She also started learning piano after hearing Yu Wei’s Castle in the Sky, but her progress is slow so far.
For someone who can’t see, that piano piece is too beautiful, like a dreamlike scene appearing before her eyes.
This kind of moving feeling is hard to describe in words. For Lin Yuting, music is the warm tone in her black world.
Hearing the door push, Lin Yuting stops her hands and simply greets the people at the door. It should be Yu Wei, right?
Before Yu Wei can speak, Qi Luo An steps forward and holds her hand. “Yu Ting, how are you impersonating me?”
Qi Luo An has always been like this with Lin Yuting, never treating her as a visually impaired person: tease when teasing, even telling hell jokes.
“No, I’m not.”
Lin Yuting’s keyword clearly fits the program team’s requirements perfectly. In the episode she participated in, wasn’t Yu Wei using an alternate account to live broadcast teasing black fans?
As for Qi Luo An, she’s a new friend Lin Yuting made during the program recording process, so writing her in is perfectly reasonable.
Okay, she does have a bit of mischievous taste, just wanting to tease them. Although she can’t see, she gossips too and naturally knows about Yu Wei and Qi Luo An’s current relationship.
“You’ve learned to be naughty.”
Qi Luo An pinches her face. “Go through the process or sing directly?”
Subsequent teammate recruitment still requires song relay, but as the blind box close friend, Qi Luo An has to participate too.
“I always have a pair of invisible wings, carrying me to fly and giving me hope.”
Lin Yuting directly chooses to sing Invisible Wings, which Yu Wei gave her back then. Singing this song at reunion is quite commemorative.
A song with lyrics starting with “wang”…
Yu Wei’s first reaction is surprisingly “gazing at the bright moon” from Moonlight, but that song is hard to sing, so forget it.
Qi Luo An unhesitatingly sings a line without thinking. Very classic lyrics, the ones Old Deng sang back then.
There are plenty of songs starting with “forget.” Lots in love songs. Teacher Yu Wei shouldn’t not know, right?
Several staff members exchange glances. Could Teacher Yu Wei be thinking…
“Forgot how long it’s been since I heard you.”
Lyrics from Fairy Tale. Yu Wei naturally wouldn’t get it wrong. Lin Yuting, as the question setter, is still doubtful, but the program team and Qi Luo An are already speechless.
Another unheard line…
No way, again!
It’s obvious this is another piece from Yu Wei’s inventory. He really has stockpiled a lot of songs. What’s with today? Suddenly pulling them out one after another?
Although it’s just the tip of the iceberg, it still shocks them greatly. He can’t pull out inventory for every subsequent relay segment, right?
Who knows how many songs Yu Wei has stockpiled?
