Chapter 39: “why Do Stars Care So Much About Ratings?”
A star’s hobbies can be niche, but they can’t be creepy…
Yu Wei secretly writing web novels is still too outrageous, so outrageous that netizens seeing the related trending search suspect it’s the same name.
What track is this?
Has the entertainment industry gotten so competitive that stars have to write books to make money?
After being online for so many years, who hasn’t read one or two web novels, whether male frequency or female frequency, everyone has come across some.
Dragon King Returns, Urban Divine Doctor, Strongest Abandoned Young Master, Useless Talent Rises, Rebirth Storm, Blood Feud Avenged, Domineering President, Wealthy Family Grudges, True and False Heiress, Forbidden Master-Disciple Romance, Palace Intrigue and Favor, Wife-Chasing Cremation, Running Away with the Ball…
You’re telling me that the musical prodigy, the light of the new generation, the only martyr of idol economics, the Yu Wei whose talent defeated capital, is secretly writing this?
The entertainment industry changes in an instant, even if Yu Wei suddenly collapsed house everyone could accept it, but entering the web novel industry is a bit too outrageous.
A star lying on the computer every day writing refreshers, diligently and tremblingly, even getting sprayed by readers…
What does he want, the occupational disease of web novel authors?
The trending search entry rapidly climbed, without any capital pushing it, all relying on netizens’ spontaneous discussion; such an outrageous entry is really hard to resist clicking on.
Other trending searches might be bought, but this one absolutely isn’t, because capital themselves don’t even know…
Ying Huo Hua Wen: Holy crap, what the hell?
Variety show: Popularity blown in by a big wind?
Novel platform: ∑(дlll)
A failure has come to the entertainment industry, his trending search is flying in the sky.
The matter is so abstract that several companies can’t tell for a moment if it’s good or bad; for them, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night…
Capital is numbed to the scalp from being shown up, but netizens are gossiping happily.
Everyone really doesn’t care about the petty matters in the entertainment industry, but web novels written by a star, they at least have to taste the flavor!
Before clicking in, they thought Yu Wei wrote fantasy cultivation, or at worst romance novels would be fine, but looking at the screenshot they were dumbfounded—how is it an entertainment novel?
Male and female frequency entertainment industry novels are a bit different; female frequency revolves around relationships, male frequency focuses on depicting monster fighting and leveling up, but the core is about the same: refreshment.
Whether it’s top stream secret marriage with love after marriage, or top stream collapse house and desperate counterattack, the essence is still fantasy about the entertainment industry…
You’re actually in the entertainment industry, what are you fantasizing about?
“I only dare to secretly read this kind of thing.”
“Laughing like crazy, actually not feeling Yu Wei’s songs before, but now I have to follow and stan, I really love watching this.”
“Who told you to write this book, what is your purpose in entering the entertainment industry?”
“How is there a plagiarist tag, what to do if I really want to read it?”
Frequent novel readers definitely know what plagiarist means: in transmigration rebirth works, the protagonist copies the core settings of classic works, no need to nitpick.
【”Why Do Stars Care So Much About Ratings?”】
Author: Depressed Big Spray Mushroom
Synopsis: Artist Wei Yu, who won the annual lowest rating, unexpectedly awakened the [scoring system]. As long as he publicly rates the entertainment industry, he can gain boosts to singing skill, music theory, acting skills, and even get otherworld entertainment works as rewards.
“What explosive drama, buy some internet trolls to brush data and it’s explosive, passersby haven’t even heard of it and it counts as explosive? 4.2 points.”
“Still god visuals, strip away the nostalgia filter and it’s mediocre, 5 points is the max.”
“Wild list first, this song isn’t even as good as a music tailor, after all theirs can actually go viral, 1.6 points carry away.”
…】
The flavor is too strong; without reading entertainment novels for three years, you couldn’t write this synopsis. Yu Wei, who just wrote “Hearing the sound of tears entering the forest seeking white pear blossoms only to find a line of moss” on the program, how did he write this kind of thing.
Eaten too many mushrooms?
“I’ve already collected it, have you?”
“Laughed until I got recycled by Zhuan Zhuan, so daring to write, doesn’t care about life?”
“Newbie, haven’t read entertainment novels, is this satirizing the entertainment industry?”
“Satirizing what, it’s just pure brainless refreshment, read more and you’ll understand; novel plots are all fictional, even if it alludes to someone, who would dare to take the shoe on?”
Trending search index over four million, explosive.
Yu Wei saw the glaring number one trending search and was dumbfounded himself.
Yu Wei is now about second or third tier standard, plus web novels aren’t as easy to spread as gossip, this data is already terrifying.
“Written novels for so many years, first time blowing up like this…”
Every refresh adds dozens of collections; which web novel author could resist such temptation? This is the level where failures would wake up laughing from dreams, he even wanted to stay up all night for explosive updates of eight chapters!
Forget it, life is more important.
Just as Yu Wei was holding his mobile phone admiring the novel data growth, Liu Ning’s call came; she as his agent was completely unaware.
“Sister Liu, what’s up?”
“What’s up, you’re asking me what’s up, I want to ask you…” Liu Ning adjusted her excited emotions, asking with slight worry: “What are you thinking, suddenly writing this?”
Not sudden, actually already updated for over half a month.
“Around the time of nearing contract end, afraid of starving so decided to try writing, used to read a lot before.”
Yu Wei had prepared his explanation long ago, and it wasn’t false; at first he really planned to make some money.
“Then… can you stop writing now, I’m afraid of bad influence.”
Sister Liu is older and doesn’t quite get this, she just worries Yu Wei wrote something he shouldn’t, getting into trouble; after all he doesn’t lack money now, no need to continue.
“No, I have to be responsible to readers; they graced me with a visit, if I don’t write it’s no different from lip-syncing at a concert?”
Yu Wei saw it clearly from the start; Zhang Lingye and them scolding fans is wrong, similarly he can’t let down his own readers, can’t double standard as a person.
Besides, he still needs to write books to get works; he knows what he can write and what not.
He understands Sister Liu’s mindset; back then parents heard he was writing novels and were worried too—people have some reverence for unfamiliar fields.
A bit of unnecessary worrying, but truly for his good.
“Alright, as long as you know what you’re doing.” Liu Ning finally stated her purpose, “Boss called you and you didn’t pick up.”
Boss? He thought it was a harassing call.
After trending search, quite a few called Yu Wei, former teammates old classmates etc.; he really didn’t want to pick up these stranger calls.
Actually Qi Luo An also private messaged him, but he pretended not to see…
“Book friend circle exploded, I can’t manage.”
“How is there @ me, I’m done, quickly remove my operations officer.”
“Playing dead huh, you better really die.”
Though she complained endlessly, deleting ads and handling trolls was done completely without miss, managing the novel comment section orderly.
Tearfully, she really did, I’m crying to death.
Below the trending search, at first only netizens hotly discussed, but as the event continued to ferment, official media and bloggers couldn’t sit still.
Entertainment News and Reason: Heard Yu Wei who sang “Heart Wall” wrote a novel, everyone come see.
Yu Wei clicked in and scanned, the first comment was “Where’s the book name? Leave pic but not seed, asshole stabbed by ten thousand people”.
Network bloggers and marketing accounts each have their ideas, so posts are all sorts of weird; even one called Ye Pu g simply made a book recommendation video, with decompression video style…
Netizens are all talents.
Official blogs’ posts are very serious, but basically just stating facts, few deep analyses of the event background.
How to analyze this?
Other news, either analyze event background or situation process; who knew a star ran off to write novels, this process even blind fabricating is hard to make up.
No complete context, no insiders, no benefit relationships, logic doesn’t hold, how for official to handle…
But Yu Wei still underestimated journalism’s charm moments, because before sleep he saw a post called “Yu Wei’s Pattern”.
“Behind this book is Yu Wei’s dissatisfaction and deconstruction of the entertainment industry status quo; he uses pen as sword, ink as blade, with joking entertainment stories tearing open a corner of the entertainment industry’s darkness, setting things right.”
Yu Wei gets all the reason, but he doesn’t need pen and ink either.
This can even be conspiracy theory?
