Chapter 245: A Silent Contest
Although Lin Yuting can’t see, her ability to accept things is truly strong. After listening to Yu Wei’s explanation, she instantly understood. It turned out to be a new song. Looking forward to it then.
This time, the staff didn’t even have Yu Wei sing. That line just now was clearly lyrics. If he says it’s from inventory, then it’s inventory. Asking again and again would just be unseemly.
A perfectly good Song Relay, how did it suddenly turn into an inventory exhibition…
One can imagine, after this episode airs, how many fans will urge Yu Wei to update. Just showing drafts without releasing the main text, right? Won’t that get him scolded?
“Alright, alright, I know you have a lot of stored songs.”
Qi Luo An first praised him a few times, then changed the subject with a laugh and asked: “Do you have any works suitable for male-female chorus?”
As Blind Box close friends, they also have a cooperation stage this time, an opportunity to sing another song with Yu Wei. Just thinking about it makes her happy.
The previous “Under the Flying Clouds” was still too proper. Things are different now. This time, they should do something full of love and affection…
Back then, the emotion wasn’t in place. Now it is. Bring on all the “love you, love me” stuff!
Previously, seeing Zhou Mumu and Fei Hong do a chorus of “The Answer,” Qi Luo An thought it was really interesting. This time, it’s finally her turn.
“No, but there’s a male-male chorus. Sing it with more thickness then.”
“Really? For real?”
Qi Luo An naturally didn’t believe it. This guy never tells the truth. From what he meant, the inventory really exists, and there’s quite a bit.
Who knows what kind of song he’ll bring out for the chorus. A bit looking forward to it…
After “recruiting” Lin Yuting, the two set off again, still writing in the car, but this time Qi Luo An seemed to intentionally or unintentionally want to sneak a peek.
Once everyone is gathered, they’ll start practicing songs. According to Yu Wei’s logic, he’s probably already writing the plot for a new song now, right?
No rush on the final big chorus. First, write their duet!
Write the song first and then bring it out. That’s Yu Wei’s personal style. After gathering everyone today, they can start practicing tomorrow once it’s written!
Rounding it off, she might see the song tonight. She’s already a bit impatient. “The Answer” was so sweet. Can he do a sweet song this time?
She didn’t mean anything else. She just wanted to sing a sweet song with Yu Wei…
“Almost forgot the big thing.”
Bored in the car, Qi Luo An suddenly remembered continuing to interrogate big brother today. Good intentions treated as donkey liver and lungs—can’t just let it go like that.
She directly asked Qi Yuan for the opening of the new book that failed to submit a manuscript. Perhaps Qi Yuan was already numb, as he gave it very straightforwardly this time, without any evasion.
“Here, some good stuff for you.”
Qi Luo An simply called over Yu Wei beside her to look together. How could she enjoy such delicious material alone? It’s still fresh.
Upon hearing it was a novel written by Qi Yuan, Yu Wei immediately showed respect. He’s really good at eating…
This time, his novel wasn’t as brainless as “global songwriting level drops a thousand times.” Instead, it had a touch of fantasy.
[The descendants of the God of Entertainment are determined to revitalize the entertainment industry. Until this generation, a pair of siblings appeared. The male protagonist is sharp and promising like the ancestor, but the younger sister takes the evil path and plans to destroy the entertainment industry. After many years, the siblings meet again as mortal enemies, which is lamentable…]
“This guy’s doing it on purpose, right?”
Qi Luo An held back her urge to complain and glanced at it. Big brother is too dark. He actually wrote a book to curse her.
Don’t look at how Qi Luo An teases Silly Bird Brother every day. In the book, she never says anything bad about him. Who knew this guy was so vicious!
Slandering is one thing, but writing himself as the righteous protagonist. What thick skin. What sharp and promising? More like sores on his head…
“Pretty rich imagination.”
Yu Wei really laughed. Big brother-in-law is still as saintly as ever. This kind of plot, he could only think of in junior high.
“This ancestor bloodline is impressive. Among the descendants, a spiritual pearl and a demon pill appeared at the same time.”
Qi Luo An was stunned. What was that? No need to add specific settings to such ridiculous plot, right?
Dare to write like that, and someone will come after you!
Qi Luo An adjusted her breathing to control her emotions. Qi Yuan sending this was obviously to provoke her. If she got angry, she’d fall into his trap.
At a time like this, turn it back to writing. Calmly continue picking faults, harshly complain about his plot, make him embarrassed and mortified.
Sure enough, seeing her act like nothing happened and continue mocking, Qi Yuan was embarrassed again. He thought little sister would blow up. How does she have time to whip his corpse?
He really had no moves left.
Yu Wei and Qi Luo An took time at the stadium to find long-distance runner Xing Chao. This buddy had changed quite a bit, visibly much tanner.
For this Song Relay, Yu Wei didn’t pull any tricks because the last character was “xiang.” “Someone Like Me” matched instantly, full of it in the lyrics.
If he could think of it, Yu Wei was of course happy to follow the process. Directly dumping inventory was too showy. He’d be urged to death by readers.
“Go for it, go for it!”
After getting in the car, Qi Luo An continued cheering Yu Wei on. Write fast. She and the readers were getting anxious.
Of course, the readers were anxious for the novel. She was anxious for the new song. Last time Yu Wei’s accompaniment still felt a bit off. It felt better when they sang side by side.
In the afternoon, the vote results for Xiang Huai Xue and AI Singer Champion came out. Yu Wei wrote the specific numbers into the main text, then leisurely updated the new chapter.
“Updated, huh.”
Seeing the update, Qi Luo An paused and tentatively asked: “Any new song?”
Yu Wei nodded. The program team staff in the car understood. Teacher Yu had written the new song into the novel again.
Upper half or lower half?
Qi Luo An had already opened the novel to read herself. Not everyone was gathered yet, so probably a song from the upper half.
[The stage lights slowly focused, enveloping the male singer holding the wooden guitar in a soft blue glow.
The raucous on-site of “Top Streamer” gradually quieted, leaving only the faint sound of his slender fingers gently strumming the strings.
The intro was a simple, repetitive guitar melody, like midnight raindrops tapping the window, clean and lonely, instantly soothing the site’s restlessness.
He opened his mouth for the first line: “In the Southern Sunshine, heavy snow flutters…”.
Ma You’s voice wasn’t flawless, with a touch of unpolished huskiness, low and warm, like a sound from an old cassette tape.]
“What’s this?”
Qi Luo An had been fantasizing about seeing song titles like “Love” or “For You,” but unexpectedly, “South of the Mountain” popped up out of nowhere.
“Gotta save face, bro.”
This was naturally the folk song Yu Wei prepared for Meng Lei. There are many masterpieces in the folk song category. Yu Wei picked one that left a deep impression.
Meng Lei’s voice was quite suitable for this song. The effect should be good. If asked, “South of the Mountain” is easy to write, too easy. Less than a month, three days…
Both husky and male low note. Qi Luo An saw it. This song clearly wasn’t for their chorus.
Neither of them could sing it. Nine people even less so. This song didn’t seem related to the program.
This was unexpected for everyone. They thought at this juncture, the song Yu Wei brought out would definitely be for the performance. Who knew it wasn’t.
The program team staff exchanged glances. Teacher Yu Wei wouldn’t plan not to sing a new song in the final performance, right…
He’d sung new songs all season. The audience expects him to go big at the end. No new song and everyone would be dissatisfied.
He’d C-ed so many episodes. Can’t slack off at the last one. They’re counting on Yu Wei to perfectly conclude the program.
“That’s it for today.”
Yu Wei’s next words surprised the program team even more. Only three people found and he stopped.
Their group’s progress was already the slowest. Su Xinnan found six in one go and still looking. Yu Wei really wasn’t anxious at all.
This was the final wrap-up battle. Shouldn’t they gather teammates first and start rehearsing early? Why did he stop so soon?
Although Qi Luo An was a bit expectant for the new song, since Yu Wei said so, he must have his reason. No need to rush.
So what if finding people is slow? Once gathered, it’s a galaxy battleship. Can others’ little broken cars compare?
Actually, Yu Wei wanted to directly notate the sheet music and send to Meng Lei. Better early than late. Teacher Meng Han started writing a folk song for his son so early, probably already has some results.
If going late, they’d have settled on a song, and the favor would be much less valuable.
Although Yu Wei’s slow process made the program team a bit anxious, they really couldn’t say anything. Teacher Yu had C-ed several episodes. What’s wrong with resting?
Besides, knowing Yu Wei so long, they knew his style. This kid clearly had it all planned.
The program team’s car dropped them right at Ying Huo Hua Wen’s door. After going upstairs, Yu Wei first finished notating “South of the Mountain.”
Qi Luo An was bored on the side writing. Thanks to Yu Wei, last time he updated four suspense chapters in one go. Her material was plentiful this time.
“Done.”
Yu Wei really didn’t take a month, not even three days. Qi Luo An leaned over to look at the lyrics, increasingly sure this song wasn’t suitable for chorus.
The lyrics were written feelingly, but not very suitable for her either.
Yu Wei didn’t send it directly to Meng Lei. Didn’t know if he wanted it. Ask first.
Seeing Yu Wei ask about the competition song, Meng Lei panicked. Was it his turn already? He wasn’t prepared. What to do?
“Bro, can you give a few more days?”
Outsiders might think Yu Wei was collecting protection money. But Meng Lei meant the song wasn’t ready yet, but almost…
“Short on songs? I happen to have a folk song.”
Seeing this message, Meng Lei did a carp flip off the bed. Who wouldn’t want Yu Wei’s song!
Watching little friends take off one by one, he was envious to his teeth aching. This immense traffic, finally his turn?
But Meng Lei came to his senses and felt a bit awkward. Not Yu Wei’s business—someone already wrote him a song.
“Dad wrote me a folk song. I’m not too satisfied. Then he got Uncle Lin to write one. Ready in a couple days.”
Meng Lei answered truthfully, not afraid Yu Wei would back out. He didn’t want to lie. He wanted the song, but Yu Wei as a friend was more worth respecting.
Seeing the reply, Yu Wei was shocked. What connections. Two music big shots writing him songs. Star second generation resources are too exaggerated.
Teacher Meng Han isn’t good at folk songs, can’t nail it. But Lin Puyan is a folk song master. The song he produces shouldn’t be bad.
But Yu Wei didn’t give up directly. He was quite confident in this song.
“Song first to you. Pick the best of three then.”
“Huh?”
Pressure on Meng Lei!
Yu Wei’s words were vicious. Three-pick-one the best? Forcing him to offend people. Whichever he sings, the other two won’t be happy.
Is this the worry of happiness? Others beg for this level of work. For him, it’s choice paralysis.
But he really wanted to see Yu Wei’s song. He had a hunch: young people’s songs suit young people better.
After Meng Lei received the new song sheet from Yu Wei, the three-way silent contest began.
This was the second battlefield he opened.
