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

Chapter 244: How much stock is actually in stock?
Are these lyrics?
Anyone who has watched variety shows knows that the mini-games are just part of the process, designed to create some entertainment value; they're not actually going to let the guests fail the challenge.

If the real challenge fails, how can the show move forward?

As long as Yu Wei casually picked a song, everyone would turn a blind eye and let it go. But this kid came up and immediately said a song that no one had ever heard before.

"Teacher Yu Wei, the rule is to continue with a lyric that starts with the character 'wei'..."

Are you sure these are lyrics? Or are you just kidding?
The production team's attitude is very clear: just go through the motions and that's it, but you can't make things up, or the audience will laugh at you.

"These are the lyrics."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wei was no longer sleepy. He said, "You're just making things up, aren't you? When has he ever composed a song since his debut?"

These are all ready-made songs!

It was actually lyrics. Qi Luoan didn't even realize it was lyrics. She thought Yu Wei was just making a joke or telling a lame joke, something about werewolves. Is this even a proper song lyric?

You say these are lyrics, do you have any proof...?

"These are lyrics, but the song hasn't been released yet."

In a song relay, are songs that haven't been released still songs? Your rules don't say you have to sing old songs, so what's wrong with me singing some old ones?
The staff members looked at each other, of course they understood what Yu Wei meant, but the camera was still recording, and everything was being documented.

When the show airs, there has to be a reason to convince everyone. It's not enough for them to believe it; the audience has to believe it.

Upon hearing this, Yu Wei immediately understood what the production team meant. So they wanted him to sing, to prove that the lyrics were lyrics...

There's no problem with that. At his current level, he can easily sing a couple of lines without even needing to sing the whole song. Just a few lines will suffice.

Yu Weiqing cleared his throat and sang out the few memorable lyrics.

"I transformed into a werewolf for you"

I've gone mad because of you.

The two lines seem to have no beginning or end, but Yu Wei's rendition of them is not bad. The melody and style are old-fashioned, but they have a certain charm and don't sound like they were just made up.

Could this song really exist?

Combined with the rumors that Yu Wei has a lot of unreleased songs, they have a good reason to believe that what he said is true, and that this is indeed his new song that has not yet been released.

That makes sense. How could Yu Wei not even have a repertoire of songs like that? He must have said that on purpose to promote his new song as the show ended.

For the production team, this is naturally a great thing. Yu Wei turned the game segment into a new song release event, which will only increase the show's popularity.

Perhaps Yu Wei wanted to generate some more buzz for "Music Blind Box" one last time; Teacher Yu is really taking good care of their program.

Since things have come to this, what else is there to say? Just consider the challenge complete, right?

"It really is a song."

Qi Luoan was somewhat used to it; he felt that any two sentences this person uttered could be lyrics, that's what reputation is all about.

The production team wasn't stupid either. At this point, there was no need to stick to the game rules. Yu Wei took this opportunity to reveal his past work, which made the show much more entertaining than simply reading from the script.

Since it's all just going through the motions anyway, isn't this kind of development better now?
Upon hearing the news of the successful team formation, Qi Luoan turned around, his face beaming with a bright smile that was a mixture of accomplishment and relief.

Without the slightest hesitation, he stepped forward and gently embraced Yu Wei, who was still somewhat dazed.

???

Yu Wei hadn't expected her to be so direct. She was momentarily stunned after being hugged, but it felt surprisingly good...

It wasn't a long hug; it even carried a hint of cautious probing.

Qi Luo'an's arm simply wrapped around his waist, her cheek lingering briefly on the fabric of Yu Wei's shoulder. She could feel Yu Wei's body tense slightly due to the unexpected incident.

A faint, fresh floral and fruity scent, the scent of her shampoo, quietly drifted into Yu Wei's nose, blending wonderfully with the heat emanating from the surrounding area after his vigorous exercise.

He almost instinctively raised his hand and patted Qi Luoan's back twice, as if afraid of disturbing this butterfly that had just paused for a short while.

Yes, this is how we celebrated our successful team formation...

"Team successfully formed!"

Qi Luo'an's voice was filled with excited exclamation. She then let go of his hand, took a small step back, and created just the right social distance, as if it really was just a simple celebration.

She was too embarrassed to look Yu Wei in the eye again. Instead, she quickly raised her hand and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. This small gesture revealed the turmoil in her heart at that moment.

She was happiest when he hugged her back; she really made the right choice coming to this show.

Yu Wei's hand was still suspended in mid-air, and the fleeting warmth and softness in his arms stirred his heart.

It's a pity, the autumn clothes are still a bit too thick...

The members of the photography team next to them coughed a few times and said, "If you say it's a celebration, then it's a celebration. Who can outdo you guys in showing off?"

"Teacher Yu, this part..."

They are asking Yu Wei whether this segment should be included in the final cut. If she doesn't want it included, the production team will respect her wishes.

"Keep it."

Yu Wei has already come to terms with it. He didn't steal or rob, so there's no need to hide it. If he keeps hiding Qi Luoan, he'll only feel disheartened.

Netizens are aware of this, so let nature take its course.

The staff exchanged glances. For the production team, it was definitely better to keep it. It would generate buzz and become a memorable scene, just to provide some entertainment for the online CP (couple) fans... With a song preview and a memorable scene saved, the show's ratings were guaranteed.

What's next?

Now that the blind box friend has been found, what's next? Where are the other teammates? They need to be all together to start a team fight so he can decide what to sing in advance.

"Draw blind boxes one by one and search for other amateur contestants one by one."

The main content of the show is finding people, getting everyone together first, and then choosing and practicing songs to prepare for the performance.

The process was simple: the show brought out Yu Wei's blind boxes again, and this time Yu Wei unhesitatingly chose "Number One Hater An An." He was curious about who this person was...

"If he is An'an, then who am I?"

Qi Luoan never expected that a non-celebrity guest would do this. If this really misled Yu Wei, everything would be over.

Fortunately, Yu Wei was cautious, otherwise she would have had nowhere to cry.

Yu Wei had never been to the address given, so he couldn't immediately tell who it was. However, with his "blind box best friend" by his side, the journey wouldn't be boring.

Actually, the real highlight of the show is the reminiscing and casual conversations during the search for people. The music carries not only these people, but also their individual stories.

However, Yu Wei and Qi Luoan were an exception. The other celebrities and ordinary people in the group had not seen each other for a long time and would definitely have a lot to talk about when they caught up. But the two of them were so familiar with each other that they didn't have much to say to each other on the way.

Perhaps because the trip was too boring, the two of them simply took out their phones and started typing, which was something the production team hadn't expected.

They did manage to film a few scenes, and it seems like they're a perfect match. Maybe this is just how life is for this young couple?

Yu Wei has already decided what plot to write today, but she has to wait for the results of Senior Xiang Huaixue's competition before updating.

He planned to compose a folk song for Meng Lei so that he could get the father and son to act in a movie together for free, like father and son teaming up.

The destination was a music store on the street. Yu Wei racked his brains for a long time but couldn't remember who it was. His partner in the previous episodes could play the piano.
"Perhaps Pear Sauce?"

Qi Luoan wasn't quite sure either; through the glass, he could vaguely see the interior furnishings of the music store.

Yu Wei pushed open the glass door, and the wind chimes made a crisp sound. The lobby was spacious and bright, and five high-quality guzheng were quietly displayed in the guzheng area next to it, which was very eye-catching.

After explaining their purpose to the music store manager, the two were warmly introduced to the task location. As they went outside, they could only hear the stumbling piano music coming from inside the music room.

Through the glass window in the door, Yu Wei saw a young girl practicing the piano intently, but her skills were very clumsy.

Especially the way she pressed the piano keys, it always felt like she was groping around. Yu Wei gently pushed open the door, and sitting there playing the piano was Lin Yuting.

She started learning piano after listening to Yu Wei's "Castle in the Sky," but her progress is slow so far.

For someone who cannot see, the piano music was so beautiful that the dreamlike scene seemed to come to life before her eyes.

This feeling is hard to describe in words. For Lin Yuting, music is the warm color in her dark world.

Upon hearing the door open, Lin Yuting stopped what she was doing, greeted the person at the door briefly—it must be Yu Wei, right?

Before Yu Wei could speak, Qi Luo'an stepped forward and grabbed her hand. "Yu Ting, why are you impersonating me?"

Qi Luoan always treated Lin Yuting this way, never regarding her as a visually impaired person. He would tease her and even tell her some truly absurd jokes.

"No."

Lin Yuting's keyword clearly fits the program team's requirements. In the episode she participated in, wasn't Yu Wei using a secondary account to livestream and tease the haters?

As for Qi Luoan, he was a new friend she made during the recording of the show, so it's reasonable to include him in the story.

Well, she does have a bit of a mischievous streak, and she just wanted to tease them. Although she can't see, she's still a gossipmonger, so she naturally knows about Yu Wei and Qi Luo'an's current relationship.

"You've gone astray."

Qi Luoan pinched her cheek. "Should we go through the motions or just start singing?"

The recruitment of teammates will still require a song relay, but Qi Luoan, a close friend of blind boxes, will also have to participate.

"I have always had a pair of invisible wings that carry me and give me hope."

Lin Yuting chose to sing "Invisible Wings," a song Yu Wei had given her before, which was quite memorable for their reunion.

Songs that start with the character "wang"...

Yu Wei's first thought was actually the song "Looking at the Bright Moon" from "Moonlight," but that song is not easy to sing, so she decided against it.

Qi Luoan sang a line without hesitation, a very classic lyric, the one that Chen Laodeng sang back then.

There are quite a few songs that start with the character "忘" (forget), especially in love songs. Surely Teacher Yu Wei knows that?
The staff exchanged glances, wondering if Teacher Yu Wei was thinking of...

"I've forgotten how long it's been since I last heard from you."

Yu Wei naturally wouldn't forget the lyrics to "Fairy Tale," while Lin Yuting, who set the question, was still wondering, but the production team and Qi Luoan were speechless.

Another phrase I've never heard before...

No, here we go again!

It's obvious that this is another of Yu Wei's stockpiled songs. It's true that he has a lot of songs hoarded. What's wrong with him today? Why is he suddenly taking them out like this?

Although it's just the tip of the iceberg, it still had a huge impact on them. They can't possibly start with the same stock in the subsequent relay rounds.

Who knows how many songs Yu Wei actually kept?
