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

Chapter 170 These fans are better off without.

"You're actually writing?"

Yu Wei is watching the latest episode of "Music Blind Box" with Qi Luoan via live stream, which has almost become their weekly routine.

If you do the math, they watched four out of the six episodes that have already aired together. The two episodes they missed were the first one where Qi Luoan pretended to be dead after disconnecting from the internet, and the sixth one where Yu Wei pretended to be dead after disconnecting from the internet.

From this perspective, this show seems to have a special connection with them; it's practically become a cyber matchmaker...

So when Qi Luoan invited him to watch the show at the same time today, Yu Wei did not refuse.

To his surprise, as soon as the show started, he heard the sound of keyboard typing on the other end of the phone. He was the one who endorsed that keyboard, so how could he not recognize the voice?
Invite him to watch the show, but he secretly writes his own stuff, huh? You've really pulled a fast one.

"You're not on this episode again, so what's wrong with taking some time to write?"

Yu Wei was unable to participate in the seventh episode and the recently recorded eighth episode of "Music Blind Box". Without him, Qi Luoan was definitely not as attentive to the show.

The main reason she took the initiative to ask Yu Wei to look at this was that she wanted to find an excuse to chat with him and listen to what he had to say.

During her time in Belgium, she could joke around with Yu Wei every day, but after returning to China, they chatted much less frequently, which she found quite difficult to adjust to at first.

Failed authors heavily rely on...

As for writing while watching the show, Qi Luoan has something to say. She went to great lengths to get Shen Yutong away, and now that she's finally gone, she has to write more.

In order to write more words, she even agreed to Shen Yutong's unequal demands. What is enlightenment? This is enlightenment!

Don't underestimate the bond between her and writing.

Okay, it's not really that unequal. It's just best friends teasing each other. Helping her sing a song is nothing serious.

Even if Shen Yutong didn't "coerce" him, Qi Luoan would still help him; it would be so much fun to be a useless teammate and drag her down...

Who is this?

In the seventh episode, Yu Wei was absent, and Fei Hong filled in for him. In addition, the production team invited a guest star, whom Yu Wei did not recognize.

"Wu Qi was one of the earliest singers to debut through talent shows, and can be considered the pioneer of talent shows. He is quite talented."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wei understood a bit. The earliest batch of talent shows were equivalent to Super Girl and Happy Boy, and their strength was indeed not to be underestimated.

After all four guests arrived, the show moved on to the blind box opening segment as usual. Surprisingly, one of the contestants was one of their own fans, labeled as "the singer who writes the most books."

I can't speak for Yu Wei in other aspects, but he is definitely the best writer among singers. A singer who doesn't aspire to be a great writer isn't a good screenwriter.

However, he wasn't on this episode, so this reader's wish to torture himself was clearly going to be dashed.

The readers traveled a long way to participate in the program just to interrogate him, but he happened to be absent. Yu Wei felt sorry for him when he thought about it, haha.

As it turned out, Wu Qi chose this blind box without hesitation, it seems even God didn't want his little fan to make a wasted trip.

When it came time to open the blind boxes, Yu Wei was surprised. His reader was fair-skinned and quite handsome, but he was clearly disappointed to see that Yu Wei was not in the guest seat.

"You should at least go to the ninth episode tomorrow."

"I have to go this time."

Yu Wei is a regular guest after all. It's understandable for him to miss one or two times, but it's a bit unreasonable for him to miss three times in a row.

As a veteran player since the server launch, even if I haven't played for two weeks, I should be able to keep up with the version when I return, since there's no numerical inflation in the entertainment industry.

While they were chatting, their time together on the show had already begun. The young reader called him "bulb light bulb." Wu Qiren was quite nice, and the two got along fairly well.

"Seeing my readers having so much fun on TV with other celebrities makes me feel relieved..."

Joking aside, Yu Wei was quite happy to see her readers gain something from the show, so the trip was worthwhile.

"So, the reader isn't happy with you? It's a completely different story with other people. If you're brave enough, turn on this episode and see."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Yu Wei was stunned. How could there be NTR quotes here? The warrior of pure love was furious!
He still believed in his readers, except for that traitorous ninja who ran off with Tong Yulu.

Sure enough, when it came to the song rehearsal stage, the young readers finally remembered their own merits and gave a sharp review of Wu Qi's song.

"I feel that Yu Wei is better."

He knew it; his readers would definitely prefer him...

Wait, is this kid trying to start a fight?

Wu Qi was stunned upon hearing this, and even looked at the camera with an incredulous expression, as if he were asking the photographer for confirmation.

That glance at the screen was hilarious. Viewers could see Wu Qi's bewilderment even through the screen, as if he were saying: "Was all the laughter and joy we've shared these past few days just a lie?"
This scene is incredibly vivid, and the dialogue is even somewhat distorted.

Many viewers found this hilarious and turned the screenshot of Wu Qi looking at the screen into a meme.

What do I lack compared to him?.jpg
In the end, he couldn't compete with the white moonlight.jpg
"So you're the Bull Warrior all along?"

The show's effect was so intense that Qi Luo'an forgot to write. He actually sent his own fans to destroy someone else's Dao heart! How wicked!

"What?! This kid is definitely a bastard."

This perfectly matches Yu Wei's understanding of his fans: they're definitely looking for trouble and deliberately stirring up conflict to give him something to do, right? How come they're all so good at creating drama?

He understands the nature of his readers, but many viewers don't; they almost think this is a declaration of war.

I thought this was just a minor incident, but the young reader got carried away and kept mentioning that Yu Wei was inferior to him during subsequent rehearsals, almost making Wu Qi very angry.

Yu Wei laughed in anger when he saw this. Is this how readers are promoting him? Are they afraid that he doesn't have enough hatred towards him?

They're all living their own lives. Other people's fans are afraid that their idols will suffer any grievances, but their own fans are always thinking of ways to harm them.

Stop messing around, he really can't take it anymore.

We don't need these fans... Although the young readers kept causing trouble, they didn't miss a single practice session, and their final choral performance was quite good, earning praise from many audience members and guests.

As a non-professional amateur, his performance deserves recognition.

Then again...

This aligns with Yu Wei's understanding of his readers: they enjoy entertainment but have no ill intentions, and they won't let you down in crucial moments.

As long as they don't stir up trouble, they are all good readers.

"Is my singing really inferior to Yu Wei's? Looks like I need to find an opportunity to meet him."

The show ended with a behind-the-scenes clip where Wu Qi expressed his approval of "bulb" and also mentioned his curiosity about Yu Wei.

The young readers were laughing heartily nearby, and it was then that everyone realized that this was the amateur contestant's real goal, and that Yu Wei's fans were deliberately stirring up trouble.

You just want to make Yu Wei hate you, right?
Yu Wei sighed helplessly after hearing this. He had actually succeeded in "stirring up a fight" with this kid, but not out of hatred. Instead, he had successfully attracted the other party's attention.

The production team was thoughtful; only when this behind-the-scenes clip was aired at the end could everyone realize the meaning of the joke, preventing it from being taken too seriously.

He opened Weibo and saw that netizens were making fun of the relationship between Yu Wei and his fans.

Who says that fans in the entertainment industry are all either filial sons or haters? Yu Wei's fans are different; they have a love-hate relationship with their idol.

Anyone who reads the novel can see this. To be honest, this kind of unpretentious and playful interaction between close friends is something other fans envy.

Yu Wei writes books and releases songs to amuse readers and fans, and fans tease Yu Wei from time to time, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Ultimately, it was Yu Weina's entertainment novel that successfully blurred that sense of boundary.

So, Yu Wei's real purpose in writing novels was to connect with his readers and fans?

After watching the program, Qi Luoan continued writing; with the book about to be published, she had to work harder, while Yu Weize planned to go straight to sleep.

"You're already asleep? I feel so sorry for your readers." Qi Luoan paused, then realized something was wrong. "I am one of your readers, and I feel truly sorry for you."

Yu Wei had no choice; he had to work the next day.

The early autumn morning was cool as water. The next day, Yu Wei got up early and rushed to the studio. After all, it was his first day back at work after taking leave, and he couldn't be late.

As he approached, the security guard in front of the studio nodded familiarly. Having not seen him for so long, he was quite moved to see Yu Wei again.

As security guards for an entertainment company, they would inevitably pay attention to things happening in the entertainment industry.

Although only about twenty days have passed since Yu Wei last recorded a program, he is now a completely different person.

Not only did they defeat Chen Ping at the end of the last episode, but they also won an international award after a few days abroad. They didn't understand the piano music very well, but they seemed to be very impressive.

Not to mention his impressive business achievements after returning to China, Yu Wei is now definitely worthy of being called their teacher.

Yu Wei pushed open the heavy soundproof door of the studio. The other guests hadn't arrived yet. He took a deep breath. The air still carried the scent of the last recording and the smell of the wooden set.

"Teacher Yu is back."

The staff arrived quickly. They felt something was missing since Yu Wei was absent from these two episodes; he was the true soul of the show.

Only Yu Wei's songs possess the unknown quality of a blind box, mysterious and intriguing, which is why Yu Wei is irreplaceable in this program.

"Welcome back, Yu Wei!"

Director Cheng Xu was the first to applaud, followed by the screenwriter and makeup artist, which made Yu Wei feel a little embarrassed.

How could they not warmly welcome them? Without Yu Wei, their ratings dropped by 40%, and the little buzz they had was only sustained by Yu Wei's fans.

They were so grateful to see Yu Wei back that they almost cried tears of joy.

They won't say that Yu Wei is the backbone of this show, but that's the truth.

Just as Yu Wei was chatting with the director, the second guest of the day arrived. Zhou Mumu, who had grown her hair long, walked in timidly and greeted everyone.

Oh, it's someone I know.

"You've already invited Mumu as a guest, why didn't you invite her in the seventh episode?"

Yu Weilue glanced at the director with some surprise. "Just put Zhou Mumu and Fei Hong in the same episode, and the show will be more interesting."
Director Cheng Xu shook his head helplessly. Yu Wei could think of this, and they certainly could too. No one wanted the show to be popular more than they did.

Inviting couples who haven't officially announced their relationship to a show would generate a lot of viewership; they're not stupid.

The problem lies here: Zhou Mumu's agency agreed to let her participate in "Music Blind Box," but there was only one condition: she was not allowed to be with Fei Hong.

After listening, Yu Wei roughly understood that Zhou Mumu's company had always treated her as a cash cow, so they would definitely care more about their artist's reputation.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Zhou Mumu's fans dislike Fei Hong is enough for the company to make them avoid each other, because it would shake their core support.

"Music Blind Box" certainly wanted to create a good show, but they couldn't go against the wishes of the management company. There was no other way but to invite them in installments.

"It doesn't feel as good as 'Top Idol'."

Cheng Xu looked at him with some surprise upon hearing this. What did he mean? Was he trying to stir up trouble like his own fans?

This isn't just Yu Wei making a fuss; it's actually quite good. His fake show might not be good in other aspects, but he doesn't even need to worry about his agency's opinion when inviting guests.

I wrote it because I wanted to. If you ask me, I'll just say it's a random extra with the same name that I made up on the spot. So what?

Cheng Xu thought about it and realized it was true; Yu Wei had previously written about Fei Hong and Zhou Mumu appearing on screen at the same time.

The novel even includes a scene where the two comfort each other, and no one objected. Zhou Mumu's company even thanked him for bringing their artist along.

This is really worse than a fake show.
