Chapter 38: A Book Written By A Star—gotta Taste Its Flavor
The news that Yu Wei seems to be writing web novels spread through the novel circle at an extremely fast speed.
The reason it hasn’t completely gone viral is mainly due to this “seems”…
No matter how well-reasoned the readers’ analysis is, it all hinges on one major premise: that the song Yu Wei wrote on the program is the “Sound of Rain” that appears in the novel.
It can only be said that the probability is very high, but before the program airs, no one dares to say for sure.
The analysis is thorough, but once the program airs and Yu Wei sings a different song, they would become clowns…
Precisely because the program retains this suspense, the matter is spreading hotly in chat groups, but it hasn’t yet made it to news media apps for now.
Everyone is just waiting for the program to air, then get to the bottom of it. If the song is indeed “Sound of Rain,” then the author’s identity will be self-evident.
With so many gossip party members wanting to watch, it’s easy to imagine that this episode’s playback volume will reach a quite terrifying level…
“The program team really made back their investment.”
Yu Wei isn’t bragging; there were already plenty of viewers tuning in to hear his new song, and with readers and gossip party added, the audience will at least double.
His QQ is flooded with massive friend requests and temporary group chats, including colleagues from author groups and quite a few melon friends who heard the news.
No need to think; his account has definitely been exposed. People who know find it hard to resist spreading it, probably even selling on idle fish for two bucks…
There’s also good news: his novel data has exploded, gaining over ten thousand collections in one afternoon, and follow-up reads directly breaking a thousand.
Of course, Yu Wei understands that this strength doesn’t belong to him; his writing level is still that of a roadside failure.
If QQ is like this, the novel’s comment section and book friend circle have completely fallen, with no one chatting about the book, just a bunch of gossipers.
They truly don’t understand why Yu Wei is writing this.
Other stars writing books write autobiographies or personal experiences: a young person stepping into the fame and fortune field, navigating turbulent waters to finally achieve success, emphasizing inspirational and self-moving themes.
Or writing about professional fields, teaching experience techniques for directors, hosts, singers, and such, sharing artistic insights, which is professionally aligned.
Or purely personal interest writing, like Deng Ziqi writing sci-fi, Han Hong writing poetry, and such, counting as personal hobbies.
These are actually all normal; after all, what’s produced are physical books with some collection value and commemorative significance, and fans will buy them.
But Yu Wei’s approach is completely different…
Readers and gossip netizens really can’t understand: if pursuing literature, write physical books; if personal insights, write autobiographical prose. What are you doing writing web novels?
Talking about artistry or literariness? Clearly none; it’s just ordinary beginner-level prose, not fit for refined tastes.
Talking about genuine emotional expression? Reading through, it’s just a normal entertainment novel, nothing beyond refreshing or not.
Wanting to make money? Even less so; to make money writing novels, you need at least a million words. Stars’ time is so precious; if really wanting to earn, taking a business deal makes more than writing.
Not for fame, not for profit, no personal insights, no professional teaching—so why spend this kung fu writing? Just to tease readers for fun?
That would be a bit too mischievous taste…
Among those wanting to add Yu Wei’s contact, over half are purely curious: what mentality prompted him to write this book?
Whether they understand or not, they still have to read it. A real star writing an entertainment novel—they at least have to taste it.
“Seeing so many little foodies devouring your writing, I’m relieved.”
Qi Luo An has already gone home for summer vacation, but still thinks of Yu Wei’s book from afar. No way around it; this matter is too fun.
This is an unprecedentedly abstract event in the entertainment industry. Even at the suspicion stage, there are so many confused people; once the program airs in a few days, how many will question life is imaginable…
Man in entertainment, daily update five thousand.
“Stop watching the fun; giving you operations officer, help manage the book friend circle while you’re at it. Readers gossiping, posting, idle chatting—whatever, just delete Pian Ge.”
Damn, he just glanced and saw four or five posting URLs, and same-city friend-making ones he doesn’t even want to mention.
This is a serious novel!
“Making me do unpaid work, shameless.”
Qi Luo An is merciless with her words but doesn’t refuse. Honestly, watching the fun is enjoyable, but after Yu Wei’s writing became public, she inexplicably feels a bit of small loss in her heart.
This matter is no longer their little secret…
Yu Wei’s novel has officially entered the “I’m a Singer-songwriter” instance. Hearing it’s a variety show focused on original music, readers’ enthusiasm is very high.
Music variety show, still original music—this means the protagonist will sing a new song, so Yu Wei is releasing a new song again.
New readers are already eager to witness the full “writing spoilers” process firsthand. Is the author really as godly as the comment section claims?
Wei Yu joined the program as a replacement. As a challenge contestant, he can only stay if he succeeds in the challenge.
This competition’s music theme is “color,” after which all guests entered a one-week closed creation period simultaneously.
Yu Wei has already chosen his opponent’s song: the short video popular internet celebrity song “Scarlet.” Though popular, it’s moaning without depth and suspected of plagiarizing Japanese songs.
As for song selection, there are many options. He plans to listen to this song a few times, then launch a full-scale targeted strike!
But before he officially enters the music competition plot, Saturday night at 20:30, the highly anticipated “HELLO Roommate” episode seven airs.
Yu Wei is quite curious to see how the program team edited it. Reality show plots all depend on editing; the final product isn’t quite the same as the filming process.
He’s just started watching when Qi Luo An’s private message arrives.
“Your song is on trending search.”
The program just started airing, and it’s already the singing segment? Everyone directly skipping ahead with the progress bar?
Yu Wei clicks to check: episode seven has eight trending searches total, he occupies six, with the highest-ranked being “Sound of Rain.”
With the song title out, gossip netizens finally understand completely: this dog author can only be Yu Wei.
“It really is Yu Wei; what on earth is he after?”
“Beyond is pretty dedicated, writing in the program?”
“I must immediately let everyone know Yu Wei’s other side!”
“Watch program 34:22; Yu Wei’s screen has the writer assistant logo.”
What frame-by-frame scrutiny?
They say never underestimate netizens’ detective abilities; Yu Wei has experienced it this time—a fleeting blurry scene can still be dug up by him.
This batch of netizens can find anything except a partner…
The writing content is unclear, but one logo is enough to explain: melancholy big spray mushroom, answer to no other name, sit without changing surname, jianghu calls him Yu Wei Yu Failure.
