Chapter 210 The Legend of the Fastest House Collapse

When Xu Xinian entered the rehearsal hall, Yu Wei was writing key plot points.

Although the results of the competition have not yet been announced, the outcome is already quite clear. He could finish writing the main text first and then add the vote count later.

"Could you give me some feedback later, Ms. Yu?"

Yu Wei's train of thought was interrupted by the other party's sudden words. There was a music supervisor and a vocal teacher present. Why was he asked to give his opinion?
It's obvious he said that on purpose to flatter someone, taking the opportunity to elevate their status...

The music supervisor didn't have much to say, since they had already witnessed Yu Wei's professionalism, and it would be good if he could offer some guidance.

Yu Wei wasn't buying it, but since things had come to this point, he could only say "I wouldn't dare" to brush it off.

This person knows how to seize an opportunity to flatter someone at this moment.

Xu Xinian nodded to the band, his fingertips repeatedly rubbing the microphone handle, as if searching for some kind of support.

Yu Wei had never heard the reunion song he chose before, but he sang it quite well. Although his voice was flat and lacked intensity, his pitch was all within the passing grade and he didn't sing off-key.

There were no surprises, but for an actor, his performance was quite good.

Take Song Shu from the rehearsal just now, for example. Her voice was passable but extremely unstable. Not only was she off-key and slow to the beat, but worse, she completely forgot her lines and improvised a few lines that sounded completely unrelated...

Good or bad is relative. Compared to others, Xu Xinian's "mediocrity" is acceptable.

"Stop for a second." The music director's voice came through the walkie-talkie, sounding particularly jarring in the quiet recording studio. "Xi Nian, the chorus needs more power; you sound too stiff right now."

"I understand, teacher."

Although it's a bit harsh, there's still hope for people like this. Those who gave up on treatment have already been arranged to sing live or lip-sync.

Since it's a live broadcast, we can't just let them do whatever they want; it's better to be prepared.

Yu Wei could understand; the actors were essentially brought in by the organizers as part-time workers, and their expertise wasn't relevant, so they were content with just getting by.

Xu Xinian's performance was acceptable among this group of actors; he deserves a 6 out of 10.

"What does Teacher Yu think?"

After stepping down from the stage, Xu Xinian immediately came over to chat with Yu Wei. He didn't really want to give a critique; he just wanted to spend more time with Yu Wei.

Although they were all invited guests to the concert, there were differences between them, and Yu Wei was definitely the most dazzling one in the group.

Regardless of the current situation, this person's future is truly limitless, and cultivating a good relationship with him is definitely the right thing to do.

"It's pretty stable."

In fact, at this kind of gala, stability is much better than high risk and high reward. Xu Xinian may have no limit, but he shouldn't embarrass the organizers.

The two chatted casually for a while. Yu Wei had a decent impression of him; he was emotionally intelligent and had a good personality. Although he was a bit insincere, there was no discomfort in communicating with him.

It just takes up a bit of his writing time...

At 3 p.m., all elements began to be integrated. This was the first full rehearsal of the day, simulating the complete process of an actual concert.

Yu Weide changed into formal performance attire to experience the authentic performance atmosphere.

Only at this moment did a rare sense of urgency arise at the rehearsal site. If you did the math carefully, there were only 27 hours left before the concert officially started.

According to the organizers, today's rehearsal should reach the level of the official performance; otherwise, it will be too late to make adjustments tomorrow.

"Professor Yu Wei, could you please also help us from the audience?"

Yu Wei is now more than a staff member; his performance has earned the approval of the supervisors. He is highly professional and can also serve as a deterrent. This task is perfect for him.

The staff sat in the audience as spectators, and the artists didn't take it seriously, but Yu Weike was different.

"It's easy."

It was indeed convenient for Yu Wei; it was just a matter of whether he was resting in the dressing room or in the audience. He could still watch the play from the audience, which was quite nice.

After the rehearsal began, Yu Wei started walking around in different positions in the audience to experience the differences in sound and light effects from different angles.

This experience was unique. Other guests couldn't come, staff didn't have time, and during the actual performance, people weren't allowed to move around freely. He was probably the only person who could stroll around and watch the entire concert.

It would be perfect if there were some sunflower seeds...

The guests performing on stage had never seen anything like this before. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were just busking, but today they'd run into a real lord.

Yu Wei was just looking for something new, but he didn't expect to actually discover a problem while he was walking around: the speakers on the left side of the VIP area were a bit unbalanced.

Yu Wei couldn't hear these subtle differences before, but since mastering the piano piece "Castle in the Sky," his auditory perception has improved considerably. After all, auditory perception is a key skill in piano playing.

The people sitting in the VIP seats at the concert are obviously important figures. To treat them so disrespectfully is tantamount to suicide.
When he notified the technical team of the adjustments, the staff looked at him like he was a benefactor. Luckily, he almost lost his job.

The other guests were already angry but dared not speak out, and when they saw that Yu Weizhen could find the problem, they had even less to say. You're so great, okay!

The rehearsal lasted until 8 p.m., and the final run was almost at the level of a formal performance, with each segment flowing smoothly and naturally.

Everyone's condition is getting better and better. After all, they are all professionals. Those who are invited are basically contestants who can handle major competitions. The closer it gets to the performance, the more stable they become.

"Today's results exceeded my expectations. Thank you to everyone for their professionalism and hard work. We will make final adjustments to the remaining parts tomorrow morning."

After the rehearsal, director Wang Qi's approval reassured everyone. At this point, 90% of the issues for the concert had been resolved; tomorrow, only minor problems and fine-tuning were needed before the dazzling evening could begin.

Just as Jiang Siheng and Lu Renjia's voting ended, Yu Wei returned to his residence while releasing a new chapter.

Jiang Siheng's victory was a foregone conclusion, and he also chose the song "The Person Who Requests a Song" as agreed, which can be considered a win-win-win situation in a sense.

Now that fans of this song have the official version to listen to, Teacher Jiang should also gain a lot of popularity with this song. In today's entertainment industry, having both popularity and strength is the best choice.

Furthermore, "Peach Blossom Promise" was not selected again...

Many people wanted to choose this song, but it wasn't chosen four times in a row, which is a bit disappointing.

The concert rehearsals went smoothly, and Yu Wei was able to relax for a while, wanting to take advantage of his good condition to write some "The Devotion of Suspect X".

Before he could make a move, Liu Ning called and told him some terrible news: Xu Xinian's house had collapsed.

"Is it so sudden?"

There was absolutely no foreshadowing; Yu Wei had even chatted with him that morning, and yet, in less than half a day, he collapsed.

"The collapse of an entertainment industry scandal happens so suddenly." Liu Ning's tone was exceptionally serious. "There's never enough time to react, not even the people involved..."

That's true. If the person involved had had time to react, the scandal wouldn't have collapsed. Anyone with a little bit of skill would have smoothed things over beforehand.

It seems this matter was also beyond Xu Xinian's expectations. If he had noticed anything, he wouldn't have bothered to get close to him during the day.

Yu Wei had read a lot of gossip about the entertainment industry online, but this was the first time he had ever read gossip so closely. What? Big gossip was right next to him?
He wasn't very familiar with Xu Xinian; they were at most nodding acquaintances. So, he didn't feel guilty about gossiping about her.

Yu Wei would not sympathize with disgraced celebrities, nor would he kick them when they were down. He was just somewhat sentimental, realizing that life is not a novel, and many people's exits are sudden and silent.

Just like that classmate who never came to school again, the suddenly empty workstation next to you, the old shop downstairs that has closed down, the rise and fall of the entertainment industry is no different.

"What is it?"

"He was secretly dating, and not only that, he cheated on his girlfriend multiple times. His girlfriend caught him red-handed, and now the whole internet is full of evidence."

Yu Wei wasn't even surprised after hearing this; too many male celebrities in this industry can't control their lower bodies.

Although Xu Xinian is not an idol, most young male celebrities follow the fandom model, with a significant proportion of female fans who are their girlfriends. Dating can damage their very foundation, and cheating is truly beyond redemption.

A romantic relationship can be excused by normal emotional experiences, but there's no excuse for something as morally reprehensible as infidelity.

Based on Yu Wei's understanding of this circle, he probably thinks that the so-called official girlfriends aren't very normal. They're probably just people who hit it off at a meeting and got together on the spot.

He opened Weibo and saw that three of the top five trending topics were related to Xu Xinian: #XuXinianCheating#, #XuXinianGirlfriendPosts#, and #XuXinianZhangXi#.

The most damaging part is that the leaked content includes a large number of screenshots of private conversations, some of which are particularly explicit and would not pass censorship even if written into a novel.

Wow, that's pretty amazing.

It can only be said that people are too complicated. Yu Wei felt that he had a good personality and was quite capable, but he was also really cunning. In the end, when people interact, they only get to know one side of each other.

Yu Wei also remembers a comment from an unknown celebrity: "Everyone in the industry is like this, he was just unlucky to be discovered."

If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. If you're exposed, just admit it; there's no point in making excuses.

This is not a simple scandal, but solid evidence of infidelity. For public figures, this kind of moral issue is a devastating blow to their careers.

Moreover, it's hard to say whether there are any legal issues involved...

"It's almost a done deal. The evidence the woman released is so specific, even describing his birthmark in detail, and the timeline is quite precise."

To be honest, Liu Ning didn't quite see it either. Out of consideration for her own artist, she would have a sense of the people Yu Wei had been in contact with.

She thought Xu Xinian was alright, but she didn't expect... It just goes to show that you can know a person's face but not their heart.

Fortunately, Yu Wei had little contact with him and didn't even attend the dinner party, so it wouldn't have any impact on her.

As for Yu Wei, the phrase "those who walk different paths cannot make plans together" is sufficient.

Ultimately, it was because Xu Xinian was too good at hiding his true intentions; he not only fooled Liu Ning, but also the organizers.

What about the concert?

At this point, Yu Wei also realized that the entertainment industry had lost an insignificant celebrity with a bad reputation, but the concert had been rehearsed several times and the program had been finalized.

During the day, he thought Xu Xinian's singing skills wouldn't embarrass the organizers, but little did he know that he would embarrass them from another angle...

“We might turn a blind eye to small and medium-sized performances, but large-scale galas with official backing are definitely not allowed to be tolerated.”

The negative topics surrounding Xu Xinian have accumulated over ten million discussions within two hours and are growing exponentially. If he is allowed to appear as usual in the face of such public opinion, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to himself?

Those in power cannot tolerate any nonsense.

As long as Xu Xinian's company does a good job with public relations, he might still have a chance to continue working in the entertainment industry if he shamelessly tries to get away with it, but he definitely won't be performing at this year's concert.

"The official performance is tomorrow night. He really knows how to pick his time when he collapsed."

　I didn't expect such a big shot to give me a thumbs up. I'll return the favor with one, even though I can't compare in terms of influence. I'm so grateful, thank you for being here!
