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

Chapter 203 Does your mother recognize me?
"Where is Sister Liu?"

At 3 PM, Yu Wei met with Qi Luoan and her group at the airport. In addition to her, Shen Yutong and her agent Xiao Deng were also going to accompany them.

Shen Yutong is also a very popular singer in the music scene in the past two years. Although she is low-key, she has both strength and talent, so there is no reason not to invite her to the concert.

The Bi Nan series...

It wasn't just for participating in the event; she also accompanied Qi Luoan to facilitate singing practice for the competition. They had just received "Rain Butterfly," and they still needed to practice together.

For large-scale events like the Capital Concert, agents are still needed to handle the related work.

Yu Wei greeted Shen Yutong's agent briefly and joked, "Someone didn't buy tickets for my agent."

Actually, Liu Ning had already arrived in advance. The organizers valued Yu Wei very much, and there were some things that needed to be discussed in advance. Since he couldn't get away from recording the program, he could only ask Sister Liu to do it for him.

"Trying to rip me off again, huh?"

Qi Luoan was already at a huge loss because she couldn't get reimbursed for buying Yu Wei's plane ticket; if she had to buy another one, she would really be a sucker.

Stop taking advantage of her. What's there to take advantage of from a female college student? Wouldn't it be better for her to just take advantage of the company for free?

"Sister Liu is very happy that you can buy me a ticket, but she won't like it if you don't."

As the group walked into the airport terminal, chatting and laughing, they were suddenly drawn to a commotion not far away. A group of staff members had formed a semicircle and seemed to be taking pictures of the person in the middle.

Yu Wei instantly realized that there were colleagues among them.

This colleague was none other than Chi Leying, who had finished recording the show together that morning. She was facing the camera, pretending to walk forward naturally.

So that's how those candid airport street style photos are taken...

Female celebrities love taking photos at airports; a quick search for celebrities on search engines will yield many pictures taken at airports.

The photos are all pretty much the same: people wearing masks, walking with their heads down, or waving and greeting others, looking very approachable.

Actually, they all come with a mission. Airport street photography is not only a platform for celebrities to showcase their image, but also a carefully planned marketing tactic.

For celebrities, airports have a natural advantage: the environment is upscale and there is a large flow of people, which can maintain the mystery of celebrities and create a natural and casual effect.

Airport photos and red carpet photos are actually quite similar; both rely on photo dissemination to attract attention and generate buzz, but the former is more down-to-earth.

Many celebrities rely on this tactic to generate buzz, showcasing their personal style through airport street photos while maintaining public exposure.

It's not even necessarily their own clothes; many people collaborate with brands to act as human clothes hangers, just looking for opportunities to advertise and trick people into searching for the same items.

If it were Yu Wei, it would be pretty much like carrying a keyboard on her journey...

"How about I take a couple of pictures for you?"

Qi Luoan suddenly felt a strange competitive spirit; if others have it, Yu Wei in our family must have it too!
There aren't many decent airport street photos of her; people who don't know her might think Yu Wei isn't famous.

"Yu Wei doesn't need it, does he?"

Shen Yutong didn't care whether this was playful banter between them or not, and seriously analyzed: "There are many small and medium-sized female artists who do this, but relatively few male artists, so he has even less need for it."

Yu Wei clearly doesn't need to increase his exposure by releasing pictures; he maintains his popularity by writing novels and creating engaging content...

Looking at it this way, Yu Wei is simply a marketing genius. He can create marketing images by taking photos. Can he keep up with his daily updates?
There are plenty of people whose songs are popular but who aren't, but if you ask which celebrity writes a novel, even the village aunties can tell you a thing or two about Yu Wei, that kid is good at it.

"Then why didn't you take a picture?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wei looked at Shen Yutong. As a mid-to-small-sized female artist, she needed to maintain her popularity. Wasn't this a perfect fit for her?
She's the kind of person whose songs are popular, and many netizens know there's a young female singer with that name, but they don't pay special attention to her.

When singers don't release new songs, their presence is weak, and they need other means to maintain their popularity.

"Me? I can't do it..."

Shen Yutong seemed surprised that Yu Wei would ask such a question, and simply said, "I'm not pretty enough."

What kind of temperament does she have? In the end, she's just not pretty enough. It's not that she's anxious about her appearance, but Shen Yutong has a clear understanding of her own looks.

She doesn't rely on her looks for a living, and gaining fans through taking photos is clearly not something she can do. She should just stick to singing her own songs.

Yu Wei didn't say anything. Although he felt that Shen Yutong was still pretty, he thought that one's face was something given to oneself, and other people's opinions were not important.

The group didn't disturb Chi Leying, who was busy filming materials, and quietly left to check in and board the plane. After all, it was a public place, so it was better to keep a low profile.

To be honest, Yu Wei is already very popular, but apart from that one specially organized event, she has never encountered fans picking her up at the airport.

Airports are busy places; everyone has their own things to do, and even if you recognize someone, you can only exchange greetings from afar.

Most of those with so much free time are probably from the fandom.

After boarding the plane, Yu Wei and Qi Luoan exchanged a glance and had the following conversation.

"Let's get started?"

"Okay, 3000 it is."

Shen Yutong and Xiao Deng exchanged a glance, completely unable to understand what they were saying. Was it some kind of secret code?

Actually, it's industry jargon. They all plan to write, and it takes about two hours to fly from Shanghai to Beijing. That's enough to book a room for 3000 words.

Cyber ​​room booking is truly delightful.

Since being exposed by acquaintances, Qi Luoan no longer hides his writing. The shame will only last a few days, and he will continue to write as usual.

She actually typed faster than Yu Wei and thought she had the game in the bag, but halfway through, Yu Wei was far ahead.

"Wow, you opened it?"

Yu Wei usually writes like he's squeezing toothpaste, writing a section and then taking a break. It takes him most of the day to write two chapters. Why is he writing so fast today?
"It really is."

Yu Weizhen has started writing the third chapter of "The Devotion of Suspect X". If he keeps dragging it out, readers will soon forget the contents of the first two chapters.

Furthermore, the earlier he updates the main text, the easier it is for Qi Luo'an to follow the plot; otherwise, his readers would really be cursing. Writing directly from the source material is bound to be fast, no thinking required at all…

Yu Wei felt a little dizzy and rested for a while. Writing on the plane was still uncomfortable, so Qi Luoan seized the opportunity to overtake him.

However, Yu Wei adjusted quickly and soon overtook the opponent, finally breaking the house half an hour before landing.

"Let's just open a room with 30,000 words. Let's not compete on speed, but see who writes the most."

Writing is something you need to do with someone, otherwise it's easy to get tired of it. Competition is what drives progress.

Yu Wei slowed down considerably this time, thinking about what songs he would sing at the concert...

At least with each episode of "Music Blind Box," the focus is on tailoring the program to the individual guests. However, large-scale performances with no set themes are much harder to select.

Being casual is the hardest thing to do.

Singing love songs is inappropriate for formal and grand occasions; it's better to choose songs with a grander vision to make a more impressive impression.

Got it? Let's sing "The Universe is Super Invincible" instead. The answer is obvious: it really is huge.

What is Yu Tong planning to sing?

The rehearsal is tomorrow, so we definitely need to submit the song. Yu Wei plans to find a few references to help her set the tone.

"Willow Catkins, my new song."

This song is actually her reflection on the book "Malice". When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent, and the evil of human nature is nothing more than this.

The reason it's called willow catkins is actually taken from the line "It's not as good as willow catkins rising with the wind." Calling it snowflakes directly would be too rustic, so using willow catkins as a comparison is just right, and it's still a classic allusion.

"Singing maliciously in this kind of setting, huh? You want to get a piece of purple egg?"

Yu Wei was just joking. Although there are official supporters for the concert, the choice of songs is still quite free. Singing the main theme is a plus, but other types are also acceptable.

He had asked Meng Han before he came, and the other party only said that he planned to reconstruct the classic, but did not mention what exactly he would sing.

“It’s okay. We’ll just say that An’an instructed me to do it, and that the inspiration for the song came from your book. We’ll eat together.”

Delicious food should definitely be shared...

"It's none of my business, I can't go anyway."

This thing can't be shared.

Su Xinnan's popularity has declined, so she doesn't even have a chance. It's even less likely for an ordinary person like Qi Luoan. Just stay home and watch the live stream.

"But Xiao Chen will go, I just don't know what she'll sing."

Calling her mother "Little Chen" is something only she would do. As Chen Ping's biological daughter, Chen Jinyi naturally knows how to sing.

However, she's primarily a host and doesn't sing much, so we'll have to go there to see her actual skill level...

Does your mother recognize me?

Although Yu Wei had never interacted with Chen Jinyi, he was familiar with her deceased father, spendthrift husband, foolish son, and disobedient daughter, so he should know her.

Upon closer reflection, they didn't even know each other; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were enemies. What do you mean, "My father has been dead for twenty years, yet Xiao Deng still wants to whip his corpse"?
If this were a fantasy world, he would have already shouted "Stop hurting my son!" and slapped him!
"Who in the world does not know you?"

Qi Luoan brushed it off casually; she couldn't really say anything. Her mother used Yu Wei to make fun of her own daughter every day; could she really say that?

I told you Yu Wei probably wouldn't dare come to my house for dinner...

Actually, Yu Wei wasn't too worried about that. Birds of a feather flock together. If Auntie could live with someone as lazy as Lao Qi, she must be a pretty interesting person and not so stingy.

Since things have come to this, let's get to writing.

After the plane landed, Yu Wei was temporarily in the lead with 1024 words to 775. It would probably take him several days to write 30,000 words in this room.

Not long after the group left the terminal, they quickly noticed the commotion in the terminal building. A low murmur arose from the fans who had been waiting for a long time inside the airport.

There were actually fans waiting for him at the airport?

Yu Wei glanced at Shen Yutong subconsciously. This wasn't right. Not only did his fans rarely do this, but he himself hadn't announced his schedule.

Are there bad people among the masses?
"It wasn't me, and I'm keeping a low profile."

Shen Yutong, being such a reclusive person, would not have arranged such things. Upon closer inspection, the group discovered that the support items bore the name of Chi Leying.

Her flight was supposed to be an hour later than theirs, how come the fans arrived so early?

Koike is really popular now.

"Take a detour, her fans actually quite like you."

Qi Luoan muttered to herself that she quite enjoyed watching the fun in the fandom and would stalk celebrities' supertopics whenever she had a spare moment.

Chi Leying's fans, like their idol, are quite shrewd. They've seen Qi Luoan paired up with other celebrities several times, and they're quite eager for Yu Wei to be their "brother-in-law."

Little Musician, her number one enemy after Taro Ball!
Taro Balls just genuinely dislike her, but the musician is really trying to take advantage of her; in the supertopic, she can even find R18 fanfiction that affects Chi Yu as well...

Shen Yutong immediately saw through what her best friend was thinking. What did she mean by "affecting Chi Yuyu and Lu Junzhan"? How could it compare to our Qi Xingyu?
Fortunately, Chi Leying's fans knew that their idol's plane hadn't arrived yet, so the queue was quite loose and they weren't very alert, allowing Yu Wei to easily slip out.

In the second half of the year in the north, dusk always comes quickly. When Yu Wei left the airport, the sky was already dark. Looking at the afterglow on the horizon, he suddenly thought of a mille-feuille cake.

He's a little hungry.

"That's great! Come to my house for dinner. I'll have Xiao Chen make your favorite Mapo Tofu."

"Really."

Are you sure it's not the big slap I love to eat the most?
