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

Chapter 16 Cohabitation Variety Show? So Exciting!
Yu Wei's first book after signing a contract was a variety show novel.

At the time, he didn't understand any formulas or templates; he just wrote whatever came to mind, resulting in a terrible entertainment section of the novel, but the characters of the guests were quite distinct...

Later, he tried to emulate others by writing light novels and stuffing variety shows with all sorts of entertainment effects, but he couldn't capture that feeling anymore.

In order for the main character to show off, the other guests seem to become soulless shells, making the audience feel neither satisfied nor willing to give up.

A beautiful and innocent female lead, a lively but clueless second female lead, a scheming and wicked third female lead, plus a few male guests who are just there to highlight the male lead, and you have a variety show novel.

Yu Wei wrote so much that she almost believed it herself...

Putting aside the male guests who are just there for show, how many innocent and naive female celebrities are there in real life? Those who can make it in the entertainment industry are all shrewd and capable.

Anyway, Yu Wei had no intention of causing any trouble. The entertainment industry is a murky place, and he couldn't handle it. He just treated it as a research trip.

The company's approval came very quickly, so quickly that it almost felt like we were hoping for it...

Qi Yuan's trip was a done deal, but then he suddenly changed his mind. Although it wasn't exactly a breach of contract, it was still difficult to explain to the production team.

Now, things are much better. There's an even more presentable Yu Wei. His appearance on the show was better than originally planned, which is a pleasant surprise.

Yu Wei is currently very popular and generates a lot of buzz, so the production team readily accepted this.

In a sense, this replacement is a win-win-win situation. The company, Yu Wei, and the production team all benefit. It's truly a win-win situation for everyone.

So who really lost out...?

"What's the purpose of this variety show, Sister Liu?"

The variety show recording is about to begin, but Yu Wei only received the notice at the last minute and knows nothing about it. He just hopes that it won't be the second season of "Divas Hit the Road" where everyone is neurotic.

"It seems to be a reality show about several celebrities living together."

"Cohabitation?"

This is so exciting! Even if the entertainment industry in this world is highly developed, it wouldn't be this ruthless. He wouldn't even dare to write something like this in his novels.

"A shared apartment? What are you thinking?"

Liu Ning rolled her eyes at him and casually showed him a synopsis of a variety show.

Oh, you're sharing an apartment? That's fine then.

"HELLO Roommate" is a celebrity reality show that focuses on the shared living life of urban youth.

The show is set in a villa, where a landlord, six permanent tenants, and unidentified guest stars experience the shared living arrangements of urban youth.

Yu Wei will be playing the role of a guest guest this time, which is also the temporary seventh tenant.

The seventh person, no matter where he goes, he's always the seventh, the will of seven, right...?

These kinds of lifestyle observation variety shows are similar to "Back to Field," essentially focusing on interpersonal interactions and various small tasks, but the program's perspective is geared towards urban dwellers.

The guests are generally quite young, mostly rising stars in the Chinese entertainment industry in recent years and a few child stars, with a focus on youthfulness.

Of the six regular guests, two are child stars, three came from talent shows, and one is a second-generation star.

Looking at it this way, Yu Wei's resume even surpasses that of these people...

They are all the same age, he has his own representative works, and his popularity is not much different from theirs.

Abuse of food?

Yu Wei has never written about this kind of variety show before. The plot of variety shows in the entertainment industry actually has a bit of a "comeback" flavor, creating program effects through the contrast between ordinary people and a group of famous people.

Finally, the protagonist pulls off a stunning comeback, rising to fame by stepping on a big star, creating a satisfying experience of overcoming adversity and defeating the strong with the weak.

Yu Wei is a bit different this time. I wouldn't say he's completely outclassed, but he's definitely one of the best-performing guests.

"interesting."

Yu Wei is an ordinary person. For him, it is certainly satisfying to make a comeback, but it is also nice to show off occasionally. Who doesn't want to be the one who does the best during holidays?
There aren't that many saints with lofty aspirations; finding joy in the quiet moments is the norm in life.

The week-long shooting trip was practically the same as a business trip, so when packing, Yu Wei simply brought his laptop along as well, which would also make it easier to write.

My head may be severed, but the novel's updates must not stop;
Blood may flow, but readers' tears must not.

His book is at a crucial stage; if he doesn't grasp the data later on, things could get very messy...

Even if it's just to get the award, he still has to keep updating this book as usual! While packing his things, Yu Wei received several new messages. He originally planned to check them later, but who knew the other party would send more than a dozen in a row...

"Who?"

When Yu Wei saw the ID "This is An Shi Lei", he was filled with rage and anger. This little hater was bombarding him with messages.
When Yu Wei saw the details, he was dumbfounded. All the screenshots he sent were of his own novels, with typos circled in red.

I misunderstood them...

It's hard to avoid typos when writing novels. Many top authors still can't get rid of them completely even after the operations team helps them correct them, let alone a nobody like him.

Some readers would casually point it out to him, but this was the first time he had made such a lengthy correction.

Why am I feeling a strange sense of emotion?

wrong……

"This screenshot is not the starting point!"

"Yes, I watched a pirated version."

Qi Luoan was quite frank: the book has recently become popular, and there are too many people advertising and trying to ride its coattails in the book review section, which seriously affects the reading experience.

But Yu Wei couldn't stand this. The sky was falling! Even his trashy book had been pirated.

He can understand why readers read pirated versions, since he used to read novels directly from TXT files in his early years before developing the habit of paying for reading.

There's not much to say about this, but as someone who writes books, my feelings are a bit complicated...

He wasn't even willing to increase his reading volume, so all his gratitude was for nothing.

"Don't worry, I've already finished reading it."

Qi Luoan paused, then finally couldn't help but ask, "What were you thinking, coming here to write entertainment novels?"

She is probably one of the few who knows the truth, but whether as a reader or a fan, she has no idea what Yu Wei is doing.

"The child is just writing it for fun because he doesn't understand."

Actually, Yu Wei initially wanted to write something else, but his skills were not up to par, and he couldn't write anything.

Later, I read a few entertainment articles by chance and tried writing them myself. As a result, I got a contract by accident, and that's how I've been writing all this time.

Rather than saying I particularly enjoy literary and entertainment novels, it's more accurate to say that everything happens for a reason.

"Wouldn't it be interesting to be able to write down stories you've imagined and share them with everyone?"

These are Yu Wei's honest words.

Although she still didn't quite understand, Qi Luoan felt she understood him better...

Other celebrities, regardless of their status, wouldn't have the patience to chat with a complete stranger like her for so long.

In Yu Wei, she only felt authenticity; she neither flaunted or feared ordinariness, and moved freely between fame and ordinary life.

She was seeing this kind of celebrity for the first time and was very curious about it.

Yu Wei just wants to write a book; it has nothing to do with whether he's a celebrity or not. Maybe one day he'll become a superstar, or maybe he'll continue to be a flop.

"Then I hope you can keep failing."

"Is it so cruel?"

Yu Wei always remained patient when chatting with this hater.

Since arriving here, everyone around him has treated him like a celebrity, but only this person, even knowing he's a celebrity, treats him like an ordinary author...

This feeling is very subtle.

It's like, regardless of whether Sun Wukong obtained the scriptures or became a Buddha, the monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain would always call him King.

It contains no social status or social etiquette, requires no scheming or suspicion, and is simply the purest form of communication.

"If I keep failing, will you keep watching?"
