Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

Chapter 125 Should we lose or win?

A staggering difference.

As expected, Meng Lei was completely outmatched by Shen Yutong. No one thought he could win, but no one expected him to lose so badly...

To put it simply, with a vote ratio of over twenty times, no matter how large the gap was in the previous rounds, it was never this large; it was a complete rout.

The reason for this is simply that the actual gap is too large. Meng Lei doesn't have many fans in the entertainment industry. Apart from people who just want to have fun, very few people vote for him. After all, anyone with eyes can tell who is good and who is bad.

Even if Meng Han himself were to vote for these two songs, he wouldn't vote for his own son.

"The least suspenseful episode."

The match was peaceful both on and off the field, so peaceful that it seemed out of place in Yu Wei's novel.

Other guests either desperately wanted to win or desperately wanted to lose, but Shen Yutong and Meng Lei didn't seem to care, and their fans didn't do anything outrageous either.

Sometimes the saying "fans resemble their idols" holds true. Shen Yutong is such a quiet person, her fans probably won't be too arrogant either.

Tong Yulu is not as shrewd as Chi Leying; even her fans were fooled by Chi Leying's fans.

Yu Wei himself enjoys creating amusement and entertaining, and he has quite a few readers and fans who find amusement in him. Celebrities can indeed influence the behavior of their fans.

I can't imagine what those fans of celebrities with bad reputations are like on a daily basis...

"Open the door, I need to check the water meter!"

Qi Luoan's sudden news was a bit jarring. How old is he, still playing these tricks? I'm still fixing air conditioners.

Suddenly, a knock sounded on the door, slow and steady, yet remarkably clear.

Yu Wei was somewhat surprised. Usually, no one would come to see him. Could it be that she really came? That shouldn't be the case, as outsiders can't get into their community.

He walked to the door and looked through the peephole. He saw a girl standing outside. He couldn't see her in full, but he could catch a glimpse of her soft hair and slightly slender figure as she lowered her head.

The mint green top paired with a touch of angel red bottoms is very eye-catching.

This outfit is really...

Yu Wei did not open the door immediately, but asked through the door, "Who are you looking for?"

"Looking for the Platinum God, the Melancholy Mushroom."

A soft voice came from outside the door, as if knowing that Yu Wei was joking, so it joined in and played along.

She knows what she wants to hear.

Yu Wei opened the door and then noticed that Qi Luo'an was carrying a large gray backpack on his back, which looked bulging and seemed to be stuffed with a lot of things...

Are you camping here?

Fortunately, it's broad daylight now. If it were nighttime, he really couldn't let people in so easily; it would be bad if word got out.

How did you get into the residential compound?

When their eyes met, Qi Luoan was slightly flustered, but she quickly regained her composure and took off her schoolbag as she entered the house.

"The security guard was the same one from the day we were recording the show. He recognized me, and I told him I was there to get something for him. He registered me and let me in."

"thing?"

Yu Wei remembered, it was the medal and certificate of honor from the micro-film competition, right? I didn't expect that the results would be released last week and the items would be delivered this week. The efficiency was quite high.

He was still curious about what the prize looked like when the shoulder strap of Qi Luo'an's backpack slipped off his left shoulder. The weight of the bag pulled him down slightly, causing the collar of his clothes to tug as well.

In an instant, a fair collarbone was revealed. Yu Wei hesitated for two seconds before subtly averting her gaze.

Old shoulder, cunning...

Qi Luoan quickly raised her hand to gather her collar. She hadn't expected her backpack to be so heavy. It was just three certificates, a medal, a computer, a mouse, a keyboard, headphones, and a mouse pad.
"You deliberately?"

Before she could even ask Yu Wei if he had seen it, Yu Wei spoke first, catching Qi Luo'an off guard with a direct question.

Of course, it couldn't have been intentional. How long can one gain favor by using one's looks? She wouldn't go so far as to do something like this right from the start.

"I didn't say you were peeking, and you have the nerve to accuse me of doing it on purpose?"

"Mainly, it felt a bit too deliberate..."

The atmosphere was slightly awkward, but Qi Luoan acted quickly and soon took out Yu Wei's three certificates and one card from his bag.

The medal is made of metal, with a heavy feel and a polished surface that shines with a silvery sheen. Yu Wei touched it and thought it was alright, much better than the chocolate medal.

The first prize comes with a medal, but the best actor and best screenwriter don't receive any; they only receive a certificate with the Film Association's prominent seal at the bottom.

Whether it has any merit or not, it's still more valuable than his fake competition; at least he actually gave us something...

Yu Wei thought it was over, but Qi Luoan actually took out his notebook and keyboard from his bag.

"You're giving this to me too?"

"This is mine, I'll use it to write." Qi Luoan took out a charging cable and swung it around. "I've finally managed to pay a visit to a great author, shouldn't I ask for some advice?"

She did want to ask some questions about the novel, about Yu Wei's works, things that couldn't be explained in a sentence or two online.

Since we have to follow his work, it's probably better to communicate more.

Of course, there's also a little selfish reason for wanting to stay a little longer... It would be even better if I could wait until I finished watching the evening's program before leaving.

"really."

After all, Qi Luoan was entrusted with the important task of helping him exchange for literary works, so it was impossible to completely trust him. Sharing some experience would be of some help.

Yu Wei had never typed with anyone before, so it was quite novel for the two of them to sit facing each other and type on the keyboard.

Qi Luoan thought the same way. When she recorded a program with Yu Wei before, the guy was typing away non-stop. This time, she decided to try it herself.

For this reason, she not only brought a keyboard specifically, but also one with blue switches...

She typed away for ages, but Yu Wei didn't make a sound. Didn't this kid find it noisy?
That's underestimating Yu Wei. Back in college, Yu Wei would secretly type away amidst the clatter of his three roommates' keyboards and their grumbling. No matter how noisy the environment, he could concentrate.

The results for Meng Lei and Shen Yutong are out, and the disparity is so great that even copying them into his novel feels absurd.

We should write less about these easy wins and more about evenly matched battles.

Meng Lei accepted the result without hesitation. He had signed up with Xia Zan and the others, and probably thought there would be a reward if they lost.

If he wants a new song, he can just ask his dad. Teacher Meng Han's songwriting skills are very high. It's easy for him to help his own son... No, Teacher Meng Han writes rock music. Judging from Meng Lei's performance in the video he submitted, he can't do rock.

Could it be that this young man wants to switch tracks?

"Do you think I should arrange for a female lead?"

Qi Luoan paused her typing for a while, seemingly stumped by the question. To be honest, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Write if you want to."

Yu Wei, however, took it in stride: "No matter how I write, some people will like it and some won't. I might as well write something I like, at least I'll be happy writing it."

I can't stick with stories that I don't even like myself.

"understood."

Qi Luoan made a quick decision: she wouldn't write a female lead, but instead wrote other women who would get intimate with the protagonist based on Yu Wei's template. She felt awkward just thinking about it.

Writing about herself would be even more awkward for her. She's not that narcissistic, and she knows her personality isn't likable, so she'd definitely get criticized if she wrote it.

A person should have self-awareness...

Who should we assign as Yuting's opponent?

Just yesterday, Lin Yuting also signed up with Yu Wei, attaching a video of her singing, which was her favorite song, "Hear the Sound of Rain".

She's a popular online singer now, so she naturally meets the requirements for participating in the competition.

Lin Yuting originally wanted to use her hit song "Invisible Wings" to participate in the competition, but the song had already been sung by someone else, so she changed to another song.

"Yuting, then arrange a weak opponent for him."

Upon hearing the familiar name, Qi Luo'an immediately came over. Yu Wei had many videos on his computer, all of which were from people who had recently enrolled.

Xia Zan and Huang Chuyang's group set a bad precedent by coming over to compete in being worse, and they actually gained traffic from it.

In addition, there was a rumor that even if they failed, they would still have a song, which led other minor celebrities to follow suit, hoping to gain some fame on the show.

Yu Wei's book is like a must-eat list for celebrities...

He didn't refuse, of course. It was free anyway, so why not take the traffic? As for those who wanted to get the song, Yu Wei could only wish them good luck.

"Everything is fine."

These people all came here expecting to lose, and Lin Yuting is no weakling; it feels like it doesn't matter who she beats.

"Let's do this!"

Qi Luoan pointed to a familiar face, actress Qi Xi. She wasn't exactly acquainted with Yu Wei, but she remembered clearly that Qi Xi's fans had spoken ill of Yu Wei.

Perfect, let's settle both old and new scores at once.

"Are you truly holding a grudge, or is it my grudge?"

Yu Wei had almost forgotten about it. There are plenty of gossipy fans in the entertainment industry, and this kind of thing is hard to avoid.

"You have a bad memory, I'll help you remember."

Qi Luoan's answer was watertight; what was initially a slightly protective act instantly turned into a witty remark, proving she was a master of humor.

"Then let him."

Qi Xi is an actor by profession, and his fans love to praise his acting skills. I never expected that he would come to participate in a singing competition for the sake of popularity. He's really going all out.

He didn't explicitly sue, but he definitely didn't put his heart into his singing. It was clear he wanted to lose, but he wanted to lose in a more dignified way...

The idea that losing a contestant will result in a song is just speculation. Other celebrities aren't stupid; many people deliberately lose in competitions mainly to gain some popularity and then leave.

Anyway, they might not be able to win, so it's better to just give up and lose than to fight with all their might and still lose.

Yu Wei quickly finished writing the new chapter and sent out the videos of the two contestants' performances. Qi Xi's singing was clearly not as good as Lin Yuting's, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"Qi Xi's super topic is indeed calling on fans to vote for Yu Ting."

Qi Luoan, who had been watching closely, knew that everyone in this group wanted to lose and had started voting for their opponents again.

With such rampant competition to be the worst, isn't anyone going to do anything about it?

……

"This time it's a sure loss, right?"

Looking at Lin Yuting, who was leading by more than 30,000 votes, Qi Xi felt that the goddess of defeat was already beckoning to her.

He didn't actually believe in the idea of ​​getting a song as a reward for losing; it was obviously absurd. With so many losers, it was impossible for each of them to receive a song.

He only participated in this fake show to attract attention, and now that he has achieved his goal, it would be better if he were eliminated directly, saving him from further embarrassment.

Having a song is better, not having a song isn't a loss; that's what most contestants who come to compete to see who's the worst think...

Qi Xi was overjoyed as she admired the surge in her Weibo views due to the competition.

Many netizens now use Yu Wei's novels as a gossip app, and he has finally managed to capture a share of the online traffic.

"Ok?"

Qi Xi suddenly saw a fresh post on his topic square. The content was simple, but after reading it, he was completely shocked.

[Qi Xi disrespects his disabled opponent.]
Not a friend? Why is he suddenly being accused of something so serious?
How did he disrespect his disabled opponent? It's because he asked his fans to like his opponent's posts. Others can vote for each other without any problem, so why is he being attacked?

This wouldn't have escalated if it were anyone else, but the person on the other end happens to be from a vulnerable group, so the situation could escalate or deteriorate at will.

"Qi Xi has spoken. Even if the blind man has 30,000 votes, he can still win. Little Lin Yuting is no problem at all."

"What do you mean 30,000 votes? Even if we have 300,000 votes, Qixi can still win."

Qi Xi said, "Let the blind man be happy for a while first."

Anyway, the fans had a great time watching the show. Qi Xi's fans don't usually have any good deeds and have offended a lot of people. So they had to watch it to their heart's content when they had something to do with it.
As the post went viral, Qi Xi was a little confused. Was it too late to like it...?

That's not right. If he wins now, wouldn't that completely confirm that he can win too? Then things will be even more complicated.

So should he win or lose now?
What's even more frightening is that netizens are already voting for him.
