Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?
Chapter 126 Checking on the Employee
Chapter 126 Checking on the Boss (Third Update)
"Who came up with the idea of labeling someone? That's too ruthless."
Qi Luoan was almost laughing hysterically at the comments from netizens. This move was really ruthless, putting Qi Xi in a real dilemma.
After all, it's a fact that they guided fans to vote for the opposing blind player. If they lost, it would be seen as passive play and disrespect for the disadvantaged; if they won, it would be seen as deliberately voting for the other side to humiliate them.
Being stubborn and blocking both ends means you've been set up by the competition.
"He's a black-hearted bastard."
As the organizer of the event, Yu Wei never expected things to turn out this way. The group that was competing to be the worst was now being punished.
Let's just consider this a way to set things right for the competition. The charm of a competition lies in facing challenges head-on; what's the point of always thinking about who's worse?
Labeling is a bad practice, but sometimes it's necessary to fight evil with evil...
"It's just that too many people from the 'Chuanzi' and 'Leziren' communities are giving Qi Xi a thumbs up, so Yu Ting might lose."
It can only be said that netizens really want Qi Xi to die. They cast 30,000 votes for someone else first, but in the end, she still wins. It's really hard to say what will happen then.
"So what if we lose? Winning or losing one game doesn't matter anymore. We'll win it back for her later."
Yu Wei's statement about "profiting" is definitely under the premise of not undermining the fairness of the competition, and it is obvious that he wants to provide some props.
"You want to give me a song again, huh? Aren't you afraid that if you lose the competition, it will be confirmed that you gave me a song?"
"Why should I, Chen Beiyu, explain my actions to others?"
Qi Luoan frowned thoughtfully, but ultimately decided to comply with him...
"Awesome, 666, so cool."
Yu Wei ignored her sarcastic remarks and turned to look out the window. Night was falling, the city was quiet, and it was already quite late.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
It wasn't that he was asking us to leave, but if we stayed any longer, we'd really have to stay overnight, and then shouting ourselves hoarse might not be of any use.
"It's only eight o'clock. Let's watch the show and stay until it's over."
Qi Luoan came here specifically for this reason. It was always a hassle to watch variety shows together via live stream before, so watching them offline together should be much better.
She turned on the TV with a familiar air, sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, and her two little feet in short socks peeked out from under her knees, slightly upturned in a playful manner.
Yu Wei wasn't feeling repressed, nor was he interested in the girl's feet; he was simply amazed by her languid posture.
This isn't just being overly friendly; this is truly treating this place like home...
"Is this how you are at home?"
"I eat snacks at home."
Qi Luoan pointed to the fourth episode of "Music Blind Box" that had just started airing, and invited him to come and watch it together.
Yu Wei didn't say anything, but turned around and found a few bags of potato chips. He liked to eat them occasionally while writing, especially the cucumber flavor.
"It's not lime flavored, bad review."
However, I also love the cucumber-flavored Qiluoan, and I feel like we can eat them together in the future... Am I thinking too far ahead?
The fourth episode didn't have many highlights. Nowadays, viewers aren't interested in virtual tourism, since the scenic spots in the videos are all incredibly beautiful.
The audience's attention was focused on the two new guests, Su Jian and Shen Yutong, who happened to have appeared in Yu Wei's novel, thus generating considerable discussion.
Yu Weizhen wasn't lying to Su Jian. He became incredibly popular with his song "Giao." The song was already catchy, and with the help of the competition and the bandwagon effect from internet celebrities, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it swept the entire internet.
He has now become an essential option for parody videos, which is an unexpected bonus for both Su Jian and his company.
As long as you're thick-skinned enough, being infamous can last longer than true love...
"How is it? Yu Tong has a great presence, right?"
In the show, Shen Yutong, dressed in a simple white dress, attracted the audience's attention as soon as she appeared, and the production team even added a highlight effect to her.
She wasn't a stunning beauty at first glance; her appearance was as delicate as a chrysanthemum. However, once she donned ancient costume, she seemed to undergo a complete transformation.
Qi Luoan's words were somewhat of a test. She knew that Yu Tong was detached from worldly desires, but what about Yu Wei?
"You're so naive. If someone is good-looking, that's fine. But saying they have a good temperament means they're not good-looking."
"?"
Qi Luoan has finally experienced what it feels like to be labeled. When praising someone, you should definitely focus on their strengths. Anyone who incites conflict should be killed!
However, upon closer reflection, she realized that she had been harboring ill intentions when she asked the question, and Yu Wei's counterattack was understandable; she just hadn't expected it to be so malicious.
"So, what's your relationship? It seems like you two have a very good relationship, but you're also a bit at odds with each other."
"Best friends, isn't it normal for best friends to tease each other a little?"
So, does that mean Yu Wei and her readers were actually best friends?
Then the program suddenly shifted gears and started showing Yu Wei letting her tourists audit her classes, creating a very entertaining effect.
Although Qi Luoan had been to the scene, she didn't know this part at all. When she saw Yu Wei repeating the same thing over and over, she burst out laughing.
"It's so cute."
"thank you."
Yu Wei didn't know if she was being sincere or sarcastic, but it was definitely the first time someone had used the word "cute" to describe him.
No, his readers have used it too, for example, adding a short and cute sentence at the end of a chapter...
Then the program moved to the place where Yu Wei sang for the tourists. In fact, many netizens have seen short videos of the scene.
They knew Yu Wei was singing at the scenic spot, but they didn't really know why. Was it because he was trying to appease the tourists?
It's normal to not know much about tour guiding, and it's also fine if you can't speak well when you're on the spot, but Yu Wei still took the tourists' feelings into consideration, which shows her character is truly admirable.
He has a good personality, but he's really good at stirring things up. He writes novels and makes a fuss every day, and netizens can't keep up with the speed at which he creates trouble.
There's a reasonable suspicion that he has a prank system...
"I think I forgot what the director said."
Yu Wei then belatedly realized that Cheng Xu had told him to try to avoid making jokes in the novel broadcast on the show, but they still ended up running into it today.
Although there's not much of the usual fan wars going on, Qi Xi's current predicament has attracted a lot of attention.
However, this was something he couldn't have predicted. The production team should understand that fake shows are hard to produce.
The footage of Yu Wei singing in the program is very clear, much clearer than the footage shot by passersby, and the sound quality is also excellent. The audio-visual experience is definitely much better than short videos. He took a deep breath, picked up his guitar, stood in the center of the camera, his gaze swept over the distant scenery, and his fingertips plucked the strings.
"Why does this feel a little awkward?"
Yu Wei has perfect control when she sings, and it's inevitable that she gets immersed in it. She's fine on stage, but it feels strange to sing outdoors.
"What's awkward about it? It looks great."
Qi Luoan was watching intently. Yu Wei's mature style was very handsome. The guy next to him was just talking nonsense. Did he even understand Yu Wei?
I am as free as the wind
Just like your tenderness, which cannot be retained.
In the program, Yu Wei closed his eyes, tilted his head back, and his Adam's apple bobbed, as if he had poured all the competition, fatigue, and loneliness of the past few days into the lyrics.
Qi Luoan, who was sitting cross-legged, fidgeted with his feet, seemingly enjoying the sight.
"Which do you think is more important, the me when I'm singing or the me when I'm not singing?"
Yu Wei asked this question out of the blue. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he was definitely a little concerned.
"Both are important... but if I had to choose, you as you are normally is more important."
Qi Luoan pointed to the person singing on TV, "After all, if it weren't for you singing, I might not have watched it."
She watched the singing because of Yu Wei, not the other way around. How should I put it... she doesn't just like the tofu in Mapo Tofu, she likes tofu in general.
If it's hard to find four-legged toads in the entertainment industry, aren't two-legged singers even harder to find?
"Thank you."
Yu Wei was very satisfied with this answer, even a little gratified. He wouldn't say he was moved, but he felt a warm feeling in his heart.
I give you the freedom to remember forever.
I give you everything, but I cannot stay.
During the show, Yu Wei's singing became increasingly passionate, yet tinged with a subtle weariness.
"No need for thanks. Anyone can say nice things; it's too cheap. I hope you thank me, not what I say."
Qi Luo'an was influenced by him and inexplicably started saying some strange things; emotions really are contagious...
"A complete awakening."
Yu Wei didn't expect her to say these things, but what she said was indeed true. If pretty words were useful, there wouldn't be so many unfinished authors.
"It's all your fault, you're ruining my music listening experience."
During the show, Yu Wei's performance was coming to an end. As the song ended, he put down his guitar and breathed a little heavily, and the scenic area erupted in thunderous applause and whistles.
"Go back and watch the recording. What you just said won't be recorded."
While you can listen to any songs you want, opportunities to have a heart-to-heart talk are rare.
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and cut out the part where you were panting after you sang until you were exhausted, and listen to it a hundred times..."
"?"
Although I know Qi Luoan was joking, these words are still a bit too scary. Don't be so abstract, kid.
As Yu Wei finished singing, Qi Luoan once again noticed Shen Yutong's focused gaze in the crowd.
You can't really blame her. Anyone who saw that look would have overthinking things. Although the photographer didn't give her a close-up, Shen Yutong was too eye-catching in the crowd. That admiring look in her eyes will definitely make people ship them.
However, Qi Luoan is not afraid. What kind of CP is she? Can it compare to the author's abstract CP? She was once the most popular, but she was overshadowed.
The next scene shows them watching acrobatics in the theater. When the program filmed this part, Qi Luoan should have been on his way on horseback.
Do you think I'll appear on camera?
Qi Luoan is not a contestant or guest, so the production team shouldn't give her special screen time, but it's still very possible that she'll be caught on camera with a wide-angle lens.
"It's okay, I'll just be a regular tourist."
To this day, he still doesn't know why Qi Luoan traveled so far to come here; perhaps it was performance art.
The program didn't directly show what happened in the afternoon. Instead, it first showed the situation of Su Xinnan and Su Jian, one a real estate agent and the other a salesperson, who had been busy for most of the day.
Su Xinnan even managed to close a deal thanks to her popularity. The client said that the house had been blessed by Sister Nan and signed the contract immediately.
When the camera returned to Yu Wei, Qi Luo'an had already given up on finding himself and didn't have the patience.
"Is that you?"
Yu Wei paused the camera and pointed to a familiar figure in the wide-angle lens. She guessed that no one else would dress like that except her.
The clothes Qi Luoan wore when they first met have now become an excellent anchor point, making him instantly recognizable.
"It really is."
The camera panned across the scene, but when filming the street view, it focused on Qi Luoan's face again. This time the shot was quite clear, and those familiar with her should be able to recognize her.
After that, she wasn't shown on camera anymore, including when Qi Luoan and Shen Yutong were chatting; the production team didn't film any of that.
"Getting two shots for free is a huge profit."
A six-hour drive just for two shots, and the shots are of little use to her—what a waste of time!
Wait, there's another towel...
Qi Luoan was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to explain. Although this matter seemed unnecessary, it really was unnecessary.
She was about to make a sarcastic remark when the phone suddenly rang, startling both of them.
Qi Luoan picked up her phone and glanced at it, her expression instantly turning serious. Yu Wei leaned closer for a peek, and the caller ID showed only one word: "Mom."
Was it her mother who called?
Yu Wei suddenly felt a strange sense of guilt. At this hour, the woman's family was calling to check up on him, right?
He wouldn't be nervous if it were Qi Yunming calling; Old Qi is very easygoing. But he really doesn't know this Aunt Chen well.
Qi Luoan's pupils also dilated sharply. Usually, she would disconnect the internet and pretend to be dead beforehand, but this time she had overlooked the wide-angle view of the program and was unprepared.
What should we do now?
Day 4 of my daily 10,000-kilogram workout. I'm so tired today, I feel like I'm about to burn out...
