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

Chapter 142 The Path to Transcendence Lies Within

In the past, people would urge for updates, shouting, "Update quickly, the toilet at the village entrance is out of toilet paper!" But this time, they actually wanted to continue reading.

It must be because I've eaten too much and am hallucinating, otherwise how could Yu Wei's writing seem so good...

Did they mix ice into the shili?
That's the beauty of suspense novels—they're captivating. Other genres might not have the same effect. No matter how times change, curiosity remains the same.

Yu Wei was surprised to see such a positive response from readers. He regretted not copying a suspense novel from the beginning and ending the story before the climax, allowing readers to unlock the secrets by following along.

Although it's a bit silly, it's definitely useful. With other novels, you can just give up after reading half of them, but with suspense novels, it's easy to keep thinking about them if you don't finish them.

Even if the end result is a mess, I'll still feel uncomfortable if I don't finish it.

Seeing that the comments section was full of serious requests for updates, Yu Wei felt a little gratified. Although there had been many requests for updates before, most people were just curious about what he was planning to do next.

Very few works focus solely on the plot itself.

But this time, everyone is genuinely looking forward to the rest of the story and curious about how the plot will unfold, regardless of who wrote the story.

Of course, Yu Wei wouldn't take credit for this honor; he was just uploading the truly good works on behalf of others.

This feeling is probably...

If you like it, treat it as an honor, not a way to show off.

Recommending your favorite works to people who haven't seen them is more about the process of recommending them than about showing off.

Seeing so many people enjoy the works he recommended makes me very happy.

It can only be said that netizens these days are too smart; quite a few have already noticed the foreshadowing in the first chapter of the diary.

Can you trust a murderer's diary?

Without going into embellishment, they would certainly be hiding some of the truth, but what exactly they concealed is a matter of much debate.

The book "Malice" is indeed good, but the reason it has generated such a huge response in such a short time is mainly due to the popularity of Yu Wei.

There's also a strong sense of contrast...

If this book had been written by a famous novelist, people wouldn't be this excited, but since it was written by Yu Wei, the nature of the situation is quite different.

A player with a thousand Silver rank in games goes on to become a professional player?
Yu Wei's entertainment novels aren't exactly trash, but they're certainly not good either. They're just for fun, a bit corny and unsophisticated.

Even though people don't pay attention to the plot, they watch for fun and show their support along the way, and that's how they've managed to keep watching...

Now that they're told this kid can actually produce something good, what about all the suffering they've endured all this time? Was it just their greed?

"Why didn't you bring out the good stuff sooner? Are you trying to teach us a lesson by writing history first?"

"I thought writing books was interfering with your singing, but now I see that singing is interfering with your writing! Come back, my proudest belief!"

"I admit that Yu Wei is better than Chen Ping. Can Chen Ping even write books?"

"Retire from the entertainment industry and focus on writing books. I'll steal electric bikes to support you."

The novel didn't generate the same direct feedback as the song, but it was fresh. Since following Yu Wei, everyone has basically had a lot of good songs to listen to.

While we might not get tired of hearing the same thing, after a while we'd definitely want to try something different. Those who are favored take it for granted, and everyone's ears have become too discerning.

At such a time, the sudden appearance of a high-quality suspense novel, a refreshing change from music to text, is quite remarkable.

Life that can be predictable is boring enough, but Yu Wei manages to unlock new experiences for everyone time and time again.

This is something that no other celebrity can give them, no matter who comes along.

#An author whose talent was wasted on singing

Netizens who don't pay much attention to Yu Wei's novels were dumbfounded when they saw this trending topic. Didn't he just beat Chen Ping with a song?

On the other hand, I've always heard that Yu Wei's online novels are just so-so. Singing interferes with his writing, so what a backstabber!

When everyone clicked in and took a look, wait a minute, this kid seems to actually have something.
When it comes to novels, it depends on what you compare them to. Compared to the vast majority of online novels, "Malice" is undoubtedly a piece of cake.

The writing and technique are clearly meticulously crafted; a lot of thought and effort must have been put into them.

You have to remember that Yu Wei also has to record shows and practice singing. If he could write something like this with such a tight schedule, he could definitely write something even better if he calmed down and wrote it seriously.

Could it be that he was really held back by the entertainment industry?
Wait a minute, he's also making a name for himself in the entertainment industry, not only with an increasing number of representative works, but also by achieving the feat of defeating a legend.

If singing actually hinders Yu Wei's novel writing, her fans would certainly disagree. What would they listen to if she actually started writing a book...?

Everyone was waiting for him to become the number one in the music industry. Instead of striking while the iron was hot after beating Chen Ping, he went to write a novel?

Not doing business properly!

"Have you ever wondered why Yu Wei chose to release his novel at this time?"

As the novel's popularity soared, discussions about Yu Weifa's titles began. With such talent, why didn't he just write well from the start?
Was he deliberately trying to feed everyone history? People shouldn't be that twisted; Yu Wei must have his reasons for doing this. This same question troubled Qi Yuan. He had passed the baton of the era to him; shouldn't he strike while the iron was hot?
Why did you go and start writing novels?

If someone else did this, he would at least say they were neglecting their duties, but Yu Wei must have had his reasons for doing it.

This is precisely where Yu Wei is superior to him...

Actively retreating from the peak of popularity means refusing to be held hostage by the trend. This is not a retreat, but a kind of wisdom that is close to "moderation".

Find a balance between noise and seclusion, and ensure that you are not swallowed up by external expectations.

This is Yu Wei's sober resistance against the era of internet traffic!

Indeed, only such people can become role models. In this restless society, this is not only a personal choice, but also a pursuit of authenticity.

Qi Yuan was completely convinced of his defeat.

What Qi Yuan could think of, netizens could naturally think of as well. After Yu Wei proved himself with music, he instead settled down to write novels. This was not only a reflection, but also a kind of answer.

While the entire internet was discussing whether he could take over Chen Ping's position, he presented his meticulously crafted novel. What does this signify?
It turns out that Yu Wei had already given the answer in his novel's launch message: Chen Ping doesn't write novels, but he does.

The path to transcendence lies within it!
Although Yu Wei has never publicly responded, there is no doubt that he would rather be himself than someone else's successor.

He clearly succeeded; even Chen Ping couldn't do it. The novel was the very reason he became king.

Even Chen Ping's die-hard fans can't refute this point. When it comes to writing novels, no matter which celebrity encounters Yu Wei, they would have to avoid his sharp edge.

Could it be that this was also part of Yu Wei's calculations?

"That's outrageous!"

Yu Wei didn't expect netizens to make such connections; they all seem to want to take the civil service exam.
He just wanted to show everyone something interesting, but why did he almost jump into Sun Tzu's Art of War and Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind?
If he were to write a book titled "Postpartum Care of Sows," master it completely, and then raise pigs, wouldn't he become the "Pig King" of the entertainment industry...?

Yu Wei naturally didn't bother with over-interpreting such matters; he had other things to attend to right now.

Although many readers are urging him to update "Malice," the workload for this book is simply too great, so he can only take it slowly, since he also has to update his own entertainment novels.

This is his greatest asset. We cannot put the cart before the horse. It is fine to occasionally write some literary works for readers to enjoy, but the great cause of "history making" cannot be stopped.

Yu Wei was writing the revival match for the storyline of "Top Idol" when he discovered a problem: there weren't enough real-life celebrities...

Many of the idols who came later were just looking to gain some popularity and leave, with no intention of continuing the competition. Letting them advance would be a waste of their spots.

However, there are quite a few of these people, which seriously damages the entertainment value of the competition. They lack the ability and are just throwing the game, which is boring for the readers and gives the opponents no sense of accomplishment when they win.

At this point, some variables had to be introduced. After much deliberation, Yu Wei decided to take a dirty trick and let the natives fight them.

The characters created in the novel, the natives of the other world, are the same as the natives in his book "Celebrity Ratings". In the eyes of the readers, apart from the protagonist and the real-life celebrities, everyone else is a native.

Since the competition is all fake, isn't it normal for fake contestants to appear?
The matches in the novel can't all be based on real people; it's time to let these people experience the terror of the indigenous people!

Those who are just giving up think it's not shameful to lose to a real celebrity, but what if they lose to a fake celebrity who doesn't even exist? Would that still be shameful?

I could make up a better celebrity than you guys.

Although they aren't real celebrities, the competition still has to be a proper contest, allowing readers to vote based on videos, all for the sake of fairness.

It's not Hertz...

Then the problem arises: where do you get singing videos for a newly created character? This is where the power of technology comes into play.

AI is developing so rapidly that nowadays, AI-generated versions of celebrities sing so realistically that sometimes they can't even recognize the voice without the accompanying AI label.

He still vividly remembers the last time he wrote "Invisible Wings". Although netizens were just making fun of him, it brought Yu Wei new inspiration.

If a fake celebrity is singing, why not just have an AI sing it?
There's no need to adjust it too much. If it's adjusted too much, some people will say that AI doesn't make mistakes, which is unfair. Imperfections are what make the performance more realistic.

Yu Wei applied for support from the company's technical department overnight yesterday, but he doesn't know how their debugging is going.

He planned to finish updating today's chapter before checking it out, and also record the new song the AI ​​wanted to sing, to import as source material.

The stage suddenly went dark, and she, dressed in a flowing silver gown, placed the first note of the song on the piano keys.

The sound, when it first began, was like the gentle trembling of thin porcelain, carrying a fragile crystalline quality, lingering and melodious in the vast venue.

She closed her eyes slightly, gripped the microphone tightly, and used her deep, storytelling voice to outline the dreamy yet fragile nature of love.

The audience held their breath, as if she had taken them into a realm of memories woven from musical notes.

At the climax, Deng Shi bent over and sang with all her might, delivering the most breathtaking final line: "It's all just bubbles..."
That's right, he's going to create a queen with iron lungs. In the eyes of Blue Star readers, this character is definitely a native, but in Yu Wei's eyes, it's hard to say who the native is.

He selected several female singers with similar voices as AI materials. It's impossible to reproduce 100% of the timbre or soul, but as long as they are somewhat similar, they are more than enough to serve as singer quality inspectors.

After updating the new chapter, the requirement for redeeming "Bubble" is 8000 chapter subscriptions, which is easy for Yu Wei now.

Still slacking off? If you don't work harder soon, you'll get beaten up by the natives in the book!
