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

Chapter 233 is connected, everything is connected.
Yu Wei's acceptance speech was very formulaic, the only difference from others was that he specifically thanked his readers.

This statement is highly distinctive; it's unlikely that any other celebrity in the entertainment industry would ever say something like this.

"Finally, I hope everyone can pay more attention to my novels; they're nice to read for entertainment."

Yu Wei also took the opportunity to advertise himself, warning against data inflation and urging himself to attract as many readers as possible.

The other singers in the audience felt uneasy no matter how they listened. They suddenly realized that Yu Wei's move was actually a new type of poaching.

The entertainment industry today is different from the past. The market is saturated, and netizens either don't pay any attention to the domestic entertainment industry at all, or they are already fans of the industry.

It's like a pool of water that's been completely divided up, with each person taking a ladleful and another a bucketful. When the pool is almost dry, newcomers who want to drink have to either slowly let the water seep in or grab it.

Those who accumulate fans through their work and gradually gain followers are like water seeping in – slow but not competitive. Those who rely on fan culture hype are like fighting for water, vying for resources and niches.

Chen Ping was the first to do so because he was born in an era before the pond water was tapped, and he took the lead and reaped the lion's share.

It's true that you have to become famous as early as possible; nowadays, where can you find tap water?

The pool has dried up, making it difficult to produce a second absolute top star. No matter how strong a star's professional skills are, it's impossible to compete for water among so many people.

However, Yu Wei's approach of writing books is a different path altogether. Writing books is a completely different field from the entertainment industry, and even if netizens are fans of his, they can still become his readers.

Over time, these readers are easily influenced by him and gradually become his fans. This method of poaching readers is textbook-worthy.

Yu Wei neither snatched nor leaked water; he evaporated the water, taking all the water from the pool and from others' hands…

The thought that their fans would eventually be taken away by Yu Wei made the artists present feel like ants were crawling all over their bodies.

How did this kid come up with such an idea?
Putting everything else aside, Yu Wei's Grand Slam is still very prestigious. This recognition from both inside and outside the industry proves that he not only has popularity, but also strength and reputation.

This historic moment quickly sparked heated discussions online.

On social media, the topic "Yu Wei Grand Slam" garnered over 2 million views within an hour, topping the trending search lists on various platforms.

Although Meng Han was not present, his "amazing" performance was clearly not absent at this time. He posted a message to personally support Yu Wei.

Yu Wei's Grand Slam is no accident. The music scene should be all about content, and his success proves that excellent music can always touch people's hearts.
Although it was only a few short sentences, the praise was overflowing. If this is not well-deserved, then there are very few well-deserved awards in the Chinese entertainment industry.

The grand finale performance was given by a pop diva who stood in the center of a rising platform and sang a classic song. Her powerful stage presence and inspiring lyrics brought the audience to a fever pitch.

At this moment, Yu Wei stood backstage, with the seven individual awards he had won that night displayed beside him, which did indeed look like a good deal...

The Golden Melody Awards, Influential Singer Awards, and Singer of the Year Awards are the most prestigious, while the All-Round Singer Awards and Best Male Singer Awards are also good. In addition, there are two less prestigious awards.

Yu Weidu suspected that the organizers knew he liked the number "7" and deliberately stuffed two prizes into his hands to make up the numbers.

Staff members bustled about, and congratulations echoed throughout the room, but he seemed to have fallen into a strange tranquility.

"Congratulations, you've set a record tonight."

Liu Ning helped him put away the trophies. Luckily, she had the foresight to bring someone with her, otherwise it would have been really difficult to take them.

Aside from the unexpected performance, everything else about tonight's event was largely as she had anticipated.

As for accompanying Yu Wei on stage, Liu Ning, having been his manager for so long, is used to it. If Yu Wei doesn't cause some trouble, then he's still Yu Wei.

Although it happened suddenly, the outcome was good. Without the performance, it's unlikely that so many people would have stood up to congratulate them.

"So many, can I have two?"

Qi Luoan and Shen Yutong each carried a trophy, so their trip was worthwhile.

It's worth mentioning that the "Best Female Original Voice" award was given to Shen Yutong at the very end of the ceremony, and Lu Li was still among the nominees. Yu Wei has reason to suspect that this award was changed at the last minute.

In a sense, this was their spoils for the night. Shen Yutong quite liked the award; the word "original" really suited her taste.

"Come on, come on, you've already won a Grand Slam, can you treat us?"

Qi Luoan was about to pack up and leave when Yu Wei called him back with one sentence: "Since you're already here, why don't you greet your uncle?"
As they were talking, Ye Shengyu arrived backstage. Upon seeing Yu Wei and Qi Luoan together, Old Deng's face immediately revealed a malicious smile.

If Yu Wei hadn't seen him put his arm around Ms. Zhong Qing's shoulder with his own eyes, he would have thought Yu Wei was a respected senior artist with both virtue and talent. But now...

"Does An'an miss Grandpa?"

"you are?"

Ye Shengyu's smile vanished instantly. Could it be? They had just met before the New Year. If he had forgotten, who would he complain to?

"I was just joking with you, how could I forget about you?"

When Qi Luoan was a child, he pulled this guy's beard, but Ye Laodeng didn't get angry. His grandmother spoiled him by being fair in rewarding and punishing him, but this guy was just spoiling him.

Ye Shengyu sighed. He always managed to fall for these little tricks. As people get older, they're not afraid of being disliked, they're afraid of being forgotten...

He subconsciously wanted to pat Qi Luo'an's head, but then silently withdrew his hand. The girl had grown up; it wasn't appropriate to touch her like that.

"Isn't that a bit too formal?"

Qi Luoan walked straight up and bumped his head against his arm. "Oh, I get it. You're not planning to secretly grope Grandma Zhong again and not wash your hands for three days, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wei was shocked. Such a perverted act, and "again" at that, how pathetic must Ye Laodeng be normally?

Ye Shengyu didn't want to either. Over the years, he had tried all sorts of schools of thought, but he just couldn't warm that heart.

So he went astray and went astray. So be it, it's just an old face, he can just throw it away.

This trick actually works! The elderly Zhong Qing is too proud to retaliate, so he always succeeds. How delightful!

He only realized this in his old age: as long as you're shameless, you're invincible. Yu Wei felt that the two of them had some emotional foundation, but young people shouldn't easily imitate him; flirting without an emotional foundation is just being a scoundrel.

"You guys sang really well just now."

Ye Shengyu turned to look at Yu Wei, "Especially the accompaniment, it's good precisely because of that biased part."

Everyone else knew about their relationship, and even when they went to each other's homes for dinner, Chen Jinyi and Qi Yunming would only mention it briefly.

But the older generation doesn't beat around the bush; they just go straight to the point, whether you accept it or not.

"No, he takes care of those who don't have a good foundation when he plays, it's the same for everyone."

Qi Luoan was actually hoping that Yu Wei was being biased, but anyone who has watched Yu Wei's shows knows that he always gives preferential treatment to amateur singers who aren't good at singing.

This is his performance style; even if it's someone else on stage today, Yu Wei will still play the supporting role.

Ye Shengyu sighed. This girl was really something; he had helped her out, and now she had pushed the ball back onto him...

Fine, fine, he won't get involved in young people's affairs.

"Let's get down to business. How about joining the Musicians' Association?"

The number of unfamiliar words has increased. What are they? Yu Wei has only heard of the Film Association and the Drama Association. The Musicians Association should be similar.

These kinds of associations are just places for bureaucratic jargon, group meetings, academic discussions, and boasting, right? Yu Wei doesn't dislike them, but he's too lazy to participate.

"Don't worry, you won't have to do anything, you'll just be in a position of authority." Seemingly sensing Yu Wei's concerns, Ye Shengyu added, "I'm the chairman of the association, I'm in charge."

He took over the class from Chen Gou's brother-in-law, but there's no major problem; he's in charge now.

"Forehead……"

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Yu Wei isn't stupid; anyone who's overly solicitous is either up to no good or has ulterior motives.

"I'm just piggybacking on your traffic."

Ye Shengyu was quite honest: "We old folks, our works are more famous than we are. Now that we're old, we don't even have any works left. If we don't absorb some fresh blood, we'll be finished sooner or later."

They were mainly interested in the piano piece "Castle in the Sky." Chinese pop music has little international influence, so the association wasn't particularly interested.

However, this piano piece has the potential to gain international acclaim. Relying on the piece to spread spontaneously is too slow. Such a good work must be promoted. It is easier to manage if Yu Wei becomes one of our own.

"Let me think about it some more."

Yu Wei naturally wouldn't jump to conclusions about such matters. He would at least consult the company first. Generally speaking, such national organizations have a lot of influence and resources.

Seeing this, Ye Shengyu didn't say much. Instead, he changed the subject and started talking to Qi Luoan about Yu Wei, repeatedly saying that Qi Luoan really knew how to pick people, which made Qi Luoan feel quite embarrassed.

It wasn't just Ye Laodeng who said that tonight; the special care Yu Wei received while accompanying the performance was visible to the entire internet, as was his signature pair of glasses.

Almost the instant Qi Luoan stepped onto the stage, netizens noticed that his glasses, regardless of size, were exactly the same as Yu Wei's.

They can even wear the same pair of glasses, their relationship is clearly not ordinary. Overnight, the "Sui Yu Er An" CP fans were revived.

"Finally, the abstract CP is dead, we've finally made it through!"

"MVs, short films, choral performances, the Leuven team—they're all back, they're all back..."

"Are you really not considering changing your name to Qi Xingyu?"

"Yu Wei is such a loser, it doesn't seem like a good match for a female celebrity. A girlfriend outside the entertainment industry would be so much more appealing, wouldn't it?"

The appearance of the two main characters as a couple has completely liberated Yu Wei, and with tonight's interaction, Qi Luoan has once again been pushed to the forefront.

This time there was an unexpected bonus. The buzz surrounding another author from a few days ago hadn't died down yet, but her appearance made everything seem clear.

They're all connected! When Yu Wei went abroad, it wasn't just staff members; Qi Luoan was also in the group.

If she is the author, then the update schedule in the underworld makes sense.

Digging deeper, there are quite a few details, and netizens suspect that they have already started dating, but are just using the mystery that entertainment industry practices.

Qi Luoan's fingers swiped lightly across the phone screen. Underneath the entries about her and him, there were comments from strangers.

Each blessing is like a pebble thrown into a still lake, creating ripples of surprise, unease, and joy.

This relationship, scrutinized and discussed by countless people, made her feel a sense of unease, as if she were exposed to the spotlight, and worried that their peaceful world as a couple would be gone forever.

However, the comments from netizens were surprisingly kind. Yu Wei's fans didn't care whether he was in a relationship or not. On the contrary, they were quite interested in seeing what it would be like for a loser like Yu Wei to be in a relationship.

The premise is that you don't stop updating. You can focus on your romance, but you can't stop writing your novel...

This unease was eventually washed away and covered by an even stronger surge of joy—a feeling of being silently witnessed, and a sense of openness that no longer needed to be concealed.

In addition, netizens are also concerned about another issue: whether Qi Luoan will return to the entertainment industry, as her performance this time has been recognized by many people.

Compared to those good-for-nothings, her skill level is definitely worthy of being called a powerhouse.

Qi Luoan's answer to this was no.

The entertainment industry isn't a good place, and she doesn't dream of becoming a big star. She's fine as things are now.

She has her own circle of entertainment.
