Chapter 162 Entertainment Doesn't Need Sweet Romance
While the entire internet was buzzing with discussions about Yu Wei's "The Ordinary Road," Yu Wei released another chapter of his novel.

Chapter Six of "Malice" is now available.

This is something netizens didn't expect. Everyone was watching the show, but the person involved went off to write, right? Wasn't he worried at all that someone would question him after the show aired?
So confident?

Judging from the results, Yu Wei certainly has reason to be confident, with more than 60% of netizens feeling that Yu Wei's song is better.

They don't believe in being the first; they only trust their own ears.

In the past, they wouldn't have dared to say such things, but after Yu Wei returned from abroad, his status changed.

He is no longer the new singer with many representative works, but a Chinese filmmaker who has made outstanding contributions to the film industry, and also a pianist who has made a name for himself.

Yu Wei's all-around development gave them the confidence to challenge authority, after all, short films and piano were areas that Chen Ping had never been involved in.

Not to mention that Yu Wei also has a novel he is even more proud of, and his comprehensiveness is much more exaggerated than Chen Ping's.

Chapter Six of "Malice" continues the police officer's investigation into the past of Nonoguchi Osamu and Hidaka. Through further investigation, he discovers that Nonoguchi Osamu was involved in a bullying case and took photos of the scene, and that Hidaka had possessed these photos.

Nonoguchi, whose cancer has relapsed and who fears that Hidaka will expose his crimes, decides to murder Hidaka.

At this point, the content of the first six chapters of the novel finally connects. It is true that the slacker killed the great author, but the so-called ghostwriting was just false evidence fabricated by the slacker.

Not content with killing people, he even went so far as to frame them and ruin their reputations after death. Nonoguchi Osamu's sinister intentions successfully sent chills down the spines of readers who read this far.

No wonder he's a flop; he writes about villains so vividly...

After updating the novel, Yu Wei reconnected to the internet and opened his phone to see seven new messages from Qi Luo'an, all of which were screenshots.

The first thing he saw was a screenshot of a trending search list. Yu Weiding glanced at it and saw that he alone occupied four spots.

#I choose him because he is the one everyone wants.

#TheOrdinaryRoad

#Where does the ordinary road lead to victory?
#YuWeishenTu

"What divine image?"

Yu Wei could roughly understand the first three trending topics, but the last one was a bit abstract. He clicked on it and glanced at it before realizing it was a photo of him writing in a small inn.

To be fair, the composition of this photo is really good. Yu Wei subconsciously wanted to save it, but then he immediately noticed the watermark in the lower right corner.

Forget it, my OCD can't stand this...

The following pictures are screenshots of comments and compliments from netizens. Yu Wei was naturally happy to see them. Being praised is better than being scolded. As long as he doesn't become arrogant or complacent, that's fine.

Just as he was about to wash up and go to bed, Qi Luoan sent him two more screenshots, both freshly taken.

He didn't say a word, he just kept posting pictures.

Qi Luoan doesn't care much about replying to messages. If someone doesn't reply, they don't reply and there's no point in asking. Just send whatever you want.

"1."

Yu Wei typed "1" and politely started looking at the pictures. Qi Luoan's two new screenshots were impressive, with a group of old friends of Chen Ping's generation commenting on them. Yu Wei had seen some of them before.

Ye Shengyu: Old Chen's loss was not unjust. The arrangement of "The Ordinary Road" is deliberately imperfect, which is the highest level of artistic expression.

The slight deviations in pitch perfectly capture the song's sense of bewilderment; this almost sighing expression is textbook-perfect.

If Qi Yuan hadn't made the changes, I feel Old Chen would have lost even more humiliatingly.
Master Ye also commented on the arrangement of "Bubble" last time, saying that he should be a professional arranger with strong professional skills.

The second screenshot is a bit more interesting. Senior artist Li Bingwen analyzed the lyrics and music of the two songs and concluded that they each have their own merits.

He was just trying to be a nice guy who wouldn't offend anyone, but then another veteran artist replied to him in the comments section.

[Hou Chuchuan: You're even offering your opinions? Have you even beaten Chen Ping before you start commenting? Are you just making assumptions? Yu Wei could do that, and you have the nerve to criticize both of their songs?]
It looks a bit aggressive, but it's actually just old people bickering.

The two started arguing back and forth in the comments section, giving netizens a good laugh at the veteran artist.

Hou Laoyu had indeed heard of him. It was Hou Laoyu who wrote and gave Zhang Lingye that particularly funny song. He never expected it to be so bad that it became a hot potato.

After this song, even Zhang Lingye's fans couldn't recognize him. He had successfully gone from being the most popular captain to the perennial runner-up, proving he was a master at ruining people.

Yu Wei didn't dare to look any longer; he had to get up early to catch his flight...

The next morning, he and Qi Luoan met at the airport. Their wonderful trip was about to end. After the plane landed, one of them went to work and the other went to school, doing whatever they needed to do.

"I should have taken two more days off."

When Qi Luoan asked for leave, his advisor approved it almost without hesitation. How could they not approve leave to attend an international film festival? Putting aside all the other issues, it would also bring honor to their school.

As for neglecting studies, it's as if Qi Luoan would study diligently if he stayed at school... Anyway, he's just wasting his time, so he might as well do something worthwhile.

"Don't regret it when it's too late."

Now that you've already checked in and boarded the plane, what's there to regret? Given Qi Luoan's current situation, taking leave is still quite easy.

Universities don't have so many rigid rules; it's all about interpersonal relationships. If she did even better, she could become an honorary alumna.

"Hurry up and finish telling me the plot of that X thing, I'll be updating the story tonight."

Qi Luoan had originally planned to stockpile some manuscripts last night, but with her parents around, she couldn't concentrate and was afraid they would find out.

There's no other way but to do it on time tonight.

Yu Wei had read "The Devotion of Suspect X" two or three times, and even without exchanging the book, he clearly remembered the plot. So he simply explained it to Qi Luoan in detail.

The protagonist, Tetsuya Ishigami, is a lonely mathematical genius whose only joy each day is going to a bento shop to buy lunch, just to catch a glimpse of his neighbor Yasuko, who works there.

Yasuko and her daughter depended on each other for survival. Unfortunately, she accidentally killed her ex-husband who came to harass and extort her.

After discovering this, Ishigami decided to use the meticulous logical thinking of a mathematician to set up an unbelievable scheme to provide Yasuko and her daughter with a flawless alibi.

When Qi Luo'an heard the ending reveal the truth—that Tetsuya Ishigami had killed an innocent homeless man to cover up a murder and mislead the police—she instinctively hissed. She had always thought that Ishigami was merely using his intelligence to cover up lies, and she never imagined he would go to such lengths for love.

Ishigami not only helped cover up the crime, but also went so far as to portray himself as a perverted stalker to take the blame. His profound love and spirit of sacrifice are truly awe-inspiring.

The real answer to the mystery lies in the profound meaning of the word "sacrifice".

To what extent can one love someone?

"I never thought someone who's never been in a relationship could come up with a plot like this."

Qi Luoan really likes this story. The inexplicable disgust in "Malice" is real, but kindness and love are never absent. Humans are complex.

Homeless man: Speak up for me.

"You don't understand. Online novelists are more likely to write sweet romance novels when they are single, because the things they imagine are the most beautiful."

Of course, it's not impossible for authors to write about their own personal experiences, but many of these top romance writers are single.

"Then why don't you hurry up and write it?"

Qi Luoan glanced at him with interest, "What if you get a girlfriend in the future and can't write sweet romance anymore..."

Yu Wei was taken aback. If you're just chatting, what's with that expectant look in your eyes? What are you implying?
"I write for the entertainment industry. Why does the entertainment industry need sweet romance? Just cut it all out, and that's it!"

"Shrimp head!"

Although Qi Luoan said that, as a loyal reader of entertainment novels, she was actually very familiar with this.

It's actually normal. Novels are meant to be relaxing, so there's not much to say about this. Does that mean male celebrities written for female-oriented novels are safe?

They're all the same; there's no need to make a big deal out of it.

"When I write my next book about entertainment, I'll start by taking down Shen Yutong."

Yu Wei's pupils dilated violently upon hearing this. This guy is inhuman! He doesn't even spare his best friend...

How dare he call him a shrimp head? I feel like the shrimp head is much better than the Qiluo angelica.

After the plane landed, Yu Weiyou was picked up by his company's car, while Qi Luoan simply hitched a ride to the entrance of the residential area.

Yu Wei still had to go to the company; Sister Liu told him that the manager wanted to talk to him about something.

He was still absent from the eighth episode of "Music Blind Box". Their trip back to China was not initially confirmed, so the production team contacted someone else to fill in just in case.

Yu Wei could go now if he wanted to, he could just kick out the replacement player, but he felt it wasn't worth it, he didn't want to be labeled as a diva.

The previous weekly show was quite tiring, so this is a good opportunity to take a few days off. People are getting tired of hearing the same songs all the time.

Scarcity increases value; dumping all your works at once will actually devalue them.

Liu Ning was waiting for him at the company entrance. Sister Liu had returned to China with them yesterday, but she came back last night. She's a typical workaholic.

"What does Sister Song want with me?"

The last time Song Yiwen took the initiative to contact him was when she complained that he was too much of a troublemaker and banished him to a variety show. What does he want to do this time?
"They said they'd arrange some business for you."

For celebrities, business deals and endorsements are not just about making money; they also reflect an artist's commercial value and overall influence.

When fans in fandoms argue, they often bring up how many commercial deals their idols have. Compared to viewership numbers that are inflated by data manipulation, commercial ability is still a valuable indicator.

In fact, many business partners had approached Yu Wei before, but the company rejected them all, either because they were too low-quality or risky, and Yu Wei himself didn't want to take them on.

The fact that they specifically called him over this time clearly indicates that they have something good to offer.

Yu Wei performed exceptionally well during her trip abroad, not only winning a major award but also presenting an outstanding piano piece at the end.

This significantly enhanced his industry standing and quickly attracted the attention of many well-known brands.

"These are some business collaborations I've recently been in contact with. I've done a preliminary screening, please take a look."

After Yu Wei arrived at the manager's office, Song Yiwen handed him the documents, her tone calm but with a hint of expectation.

They've already done one round of screening, and the remaining ones are all well-known brands with little controversy; it's up to Yu Wei's personal choice.

Other celebrities don't have such good luck; only Yu Wei can be targeted by so many brands at once.

He not only enjoys excellent public relations in China, but has also made a name for himself internationally, making him a veritable goldmine for brands.

Yu Wei casually flipped through the pages; one was an emerging skincare brand that focused on natural ingredients; another was a domestic sports drink that had sponsored many variety shows; and the last was a high-end luxury brand.

"I feel like it's not really suitable for me."

Commercial endorsements require a certain level of image fit; they're not chameleons and can't be suitable for every product.

He himself hardly uses cosmetics and luxury goods, so being a spokesperson for them would be a joke.

"It's okay, there's still some left."

There were far more brands seeking Yu Wei's services than she had imagined. Song Yiwen pulled up several electronic proposals and said, "Take a look at these."

Smart home technology? Well, I'm not very familiar with that.

Gaming phones aren't really suitable either, since he doesn't play mobile games.

Keyboard...hey, this one's nice.

He's perfect for endorsing keyboards; there aren't many celebrities more suited to it than him.

He types and types for hours every day, who could be more suitable than him?
Of the three million celestial immortals in heaven, even they must bow their heads before me.
