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

Chapter 21 is another song I've never heard before.

3.7……

The entire studio fell silent for a long time. Everyone, both on and off stage, was stunned by Wei Yu's score.

They knew this kid was ruthless and nitpicky when it came to scoring, but they never expected him to be so harsh even at a time like this.

The little girl in the center of the stage looked somewhat lost and confused, and the light in her eyes dimmed once again, as if she had been quite hit hard by the 3.7 score.

The other three mentors exchanged bewildered glances, unsure how to smooth things over. Giving low scores to the previous ones who were clearly there to joke was one thing, but she certainly didn't deserve a three…

They knew that Wei Yu was fearless in giving scores, and that even seasoned veterans in the entertainment industry had been given low scores by him before.
But this time it's different. This time the scorer isn't a powerful figure, but a blind little girl who went through countless hardships to get on the show. Giving her a score of 3.7 is just too inhumane.

In fact, Wei Yu was also struggling. He didn't want to hurt a child who had lost his sight, nor did he want to discourage the child's love for music.

If a rating system is available, shouldn't it be objective?

Having sorted out his thoughts, Yu Wei was writing furiously in front of his computer. It was only after learning about Zhou Mumu's situation that he had the idea for a new plot.

In the first instance, the protagonist objectively evaluates a big shot in the entertainment industry, then draws his sword against the strong...

If the second story continues to challenge authority, the plot would be too monotonous, and the protagonist would seem like a troublemaker who stirs up trouble everywhere.

Many of the books Yu Wei has read that "ignite the entertainment industry" are like this: the protagonist keeps stirring up trouble and causing chaos. It's exciting to read, but it eventually gets boring.

When authority is challenged too often, that authority begins to lose its authority.

Yu Wei didn't want to write it this way...

A person in the entertainment industry who speaks the truth should not only be aggressive and hostile, but also have a steadfast heart.

Speaking the truth is not just a weapon.

So Yu Wei wrote this plot, in which the protagonist is not judging any important person, but just a blind little girl.

At this moment, he doesn't need to draw his sword against everyone, but he needs to ask himself if he still wants to give an objective score.
No one forced him; a white lie was harmless; and no one pressured him. The decision regarding the grade was entirely in his hands.

But he still gave it a score of 3.7, not because he was unkind, but because he knew what he was doing.

If someone gives a high score out of sympathy, how is he any different from those who give high scores to their favorite idols?

He has the courage to rate important figures, and he also has the decisiveness to rate the disadvantaged.

"I wouldn't say it's well-written, but I feel the main character is more three-dimensional..."

This way of writing not only shows the protagonist's growth, but also adds dramatic conflict to the show. Everyone on set knows he did the right thing, but still hopes he can be merciful.

Moral blackmail was the inspiration for Yu Wei's writing of this passage.

But at this point, the protagonist's incorruptibility alone is not enough; a "savior who overturns the entertainment industry" cannot be all rationality.

"Brother Wei, I know you're impartial in your scoring, but this song is alright, isn't it? Even someone as musically conscious as Teacher Han approves of it."

Huang Xiaoming didn't forget to flatter Wei Yu a couple of times before stepping in to defuse the conflict. It's not too late to change the rating now...

Even though they all knew that Wei Yu's score was correct, they couldn't bear to see the little girl's face lose its luster.

Even the production team didn't expect Wei Yu to be so ruthless. Last time, when he criticized an industry veteran, everyone praised him for his courage, but it was a bit inhumane to do this to a visually impaired little girl.

"I know……"

Wei Yu sighed, "But the score she delivered in this song was indeed only 3.7."

These words effectively sealed the fate of the performance and plunged the atmosphere into a deep slump.

The other three guests looked at Wei Yu, and to be honest, they had some respect for someone who could still maintain his objective evaluation under such circumstances.

But this doesn't stop them from thinking that Wei Yu is somewhat cold-hearted... Water that is too clear has no fish, and a person who is too discerning has no friends.

Most importantly, can he withstand the public scrutiny after the show airs? The audience won't be objective, and if a few malicious people stir up trouble, his harshness and coldness will be condemned.

A simple "I think it sounds pretty good" was enough to put Wei Yu in the spotlight. On stage, the little girl who had lost her chance was already crying, her tearful appearance heartbreaking.

The audience was getting restless. Forget about scoring; all they knew was that this contestant needed recognition.

To those with compassion, Wei Yu's actions were nothing short of a "cover-up"...

Seeing that the audience was about to start making a scene, Wei Yu didn't take it seriously and simply comforted the little girl on stage.

To the audience, this seemingly casual consolation was clearly crocodile tears. You were the one who eliminated them, so what's the point of saying all this now?

"A temporary setback doesn't mean anything. Keep pursuing your musical dreams." Wei Yu looked at the blind girl who was still sobbing on stage and smiled. "How about this, I'll dedicate a song to you."

Giving low scores shows he sticks to his principles, but writing songs shows he's tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

The plot only comes together at this point: the protagonist can be impartial and incorruptible, but he can't be completely heartless, which leads to his opportunity to sing.

It is indeed a classic entertainment show-off scene, but with this arrangement, after listening to the song, the audience will not only think that the protagonist is very powerful, but also that the protagonist has a gentle side.

It's hard for a sharp-tongued person to be liked by many people, so Yu Wei wanted to write the protagonist as someone with ruthless methods but a kind heart.

The more righteous and glorious the protagonist is, the more humane they should be. Why was Hou Liangping criticized in "In the Name of the People"? Because he was aloof and superior.

Both characters are portrayed as virtuous and upright, but Hai Rui in "Ming Dynasty" is much more likable because he truly embodies the virtues of a local official.

Therefore, Yu Wei's consideration is that while the protagonist is criticizing the entertainment industry, there should also be humanistic concern.

As for what song to write, Yu Wei originally intended to write "A Thousand Miles Away," but the plan has now changed.

Singing "Sending you away a thousand miles away" to others, especially vulnerable groups, would be too hellish; it certainly can't be written like that.

After much deliberation, Yu Wei also chose Jay Chou's song, but a different one, "Hear the Sound of Rain".

More than seeing, visually impaired people need to hear. This song uses the sound of rain as a natural medium, expressing themselves through sound instead of sight, making it easier for listeners to connect with the story.

More importantly, the lyrics of this song are very evocative and vivid, allowing the little girl to feel the scenery even if she can't see it.

There are songs that are more suitable for blind people, but the protagonist is not blind, so it would be unreasonable to be too empathetic. It is enough to convey the meaning.

"I wonder how much data is needed to redeem this song..."

Yu Wei couldn't guess the plot since it wasn't finished writing. With nothing else to do, he simply opened the backend to read the readers' comments.

"Another song I've never heard before. Surely this song won't actually be released in a few days?"

"I've marked this as a spectator. I arrived late last time, but this time I'll watch the whole thing."

"I heard the sound of rain, but I don't know what song it is."

"If you can be the prophet this time, I'll make you the leader of the alliance!"

And such good things?

Whether I'm the leader or not doesn't matter; what matters is that I love being a prophet.

Yu Weizheng was daydreaming when the profile picture of "This is An Shilei," who hadn't messaged him in a long time, popped up and asked if he was writing a new song.

This kid is pretty good, he's already read the chapter that was just released?
I was a bit surprised to see the new song "Qi Luo'an". It seems Yu Wei really intends to release a song in sync with the novel. What a twisted sense of humor...

Moreover, given the novel's update frequency, if he wanted to keep up with the pace, he would have to write a new song every few weeks, which would put too much creative pressure on him.

"Can this continue?"

Qi Luoan paused for a moment after sending the message. Well, she already guessed how Yu Wei would reply.

The answer is that a man can't say no...
