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

Chapter 248 How did I end up being accused of betraying my friends for personal gain?
"What does it mean?"

Qi Yuan was stunned when she saw Zhang Lingye's new Weibo post. What kind of operation was this? Is this how people ask for likes?

Liking the story behind Sui Yu's story is just as bad as Yu Wei's "Like the protagonist to unlock hidden benefits"...

Is this how you learn from Yu Wei's spirit?

What's worse, netizens actually bought into it. His votes jumped a lot as soon as the post was published. Everyone really wanted to see what happened.

"Didn't you ask me to think about what Yu Wei did?"

When Zhang Lingye heard this, he felt there was potential. Qi Yuan was right. Netizens were also curious about how Yu Wei did it.

What netizens are most curious about now is how Yu Wei and Qi Luoan got together. As the first person to know about their relationship, why didn't he just use the information gap to become an information broker?
Only Yu Wei can defeat Yu Wei. Yu Wei's song is so amazing that the only way to defeat him head-on is through Yu Wei's own gossip.

Did I tell you that?

Qi Yuan never expected him to interpret it that way. If doing this could get attention and votes, then brother, can you really tell people this inside story?

"I also think it's not a good idea, but you said it's nothing, and that we're brothers in the heart."

"..."

Qi Yuan was stunned. How could he be blamed? If he had known that this kid was planning this, he would have been the first to stop him.

Besides, he still can't figure it out. He only filmed a short film, and as soon as it was finished, Yu Wei got together with his little sister.

Could there really be some behind-the-scenes information?
Netizens thought the same way, believing that the behind-the-scenes footage of "The Tuner" was the beginning of everything, but that's not the case.

In reality, Zhang Lingye was just using the guise of filming to spread rumors; during filming, he was simply filming and there was no gossip to be had.

Qi Yuan grew angrier the more he thought about it. Not only did they reveal things he knew nothing about, but they also revealed things about his brother and sister, and then they pinned the blame on him...

"You traitor who betrayed your friends for personal gain!"

He always dismisses posts about Yu Wei and Qi Luoan as a couple with a blank expression, but this time, they've dragged him into it. This is intolerable!

How did I become someone who betrayed a friend for personal gain?

Zhang Lingye naturally denied it, saying he wouldn't have remembered it if he hadn't mentioned it.

Forget about arguing with him, let's think about what Yu Wei did back then...

Although Zhang Lingye's move was outrageous, it was indeed effective. People could watch the show anytime, and once the opportunity to enjoy the gossip was gone, it was gone forever.

His votes are soaring, and although he still can't catch up with the AI ​​singer, the gap is narrowing, which is a good start.

Neither Yu Wei nor Qi Luoan, the parties involved, understood what was going on. They hadn't done anything during filming, so what was there to talk about?

They didn't think there was anything wrong with it, as long as Zhang Lingye didn't make things up and told the truth, there wouldn't be any problems.

However, it's quite outrageous that this guy would come up with such a method to garner votes.

"I'd like to see what he's going to say."

Qi Luoan scrolled through the comments section of Zhang Lingye's post. The netizens were incredibly enthusiastic. While others were just observing and watching the drama unfold, he insisted on joining in.

"What? There's a behind-the-scenes story? Well, what else is there to say? I'm giving you a thumbs up, bro!"

"This short film is indeed a bit mysterious, there are no behind-the-scenes details at all, let me explain."

"I've already gotten all the classmates to vote for you, hurry up and tell me."

"The gossip my brother had to tell over the years, the melon seeds and stools are ready, just waiting for the story to begin, bro."

Netizens were keen on gossiping, and the comments section also featured many celebrities; Qi Luoan even recognized several familiar faces.

Chi Leying, Tong Yulu, and the others left comments in the comment section, and even Su Xinnan and Meng Han posted a "squatting" comment.

People in the entertainment industry are also curious: how did these two get together when their first public appearance was in that music video?
Now we can only look forward to Zhang Lingye giving his sermon. As long as he gives the order, everyone will support him as the new leader of the CP.

"Okay, okay, you all like gossiping?"

Yu Wei noted down every single commenter in the comments section; he'd really have to train them properly when making the movie.

At that time, we were just casting and determining the suitability of the characters. We were still far from truly bringing the characters to life, so we had to focus on one-on-one and targeted efforts!

Especially the culprit Zhang Lingye, if we don't criticize him this time, he'll suffer the consequences later.

"Forget it, leave them alone."

Qi Luoan sighed. Let the outside world be as chaotic as it may, they can just enjoy their own world together.

"Let's talk about what songs we'll be singing first."

Now that everyone's here, it's time to think about the performance. Two songs at a time, the rehearsal time is still too tight.

Qi Luoan wasn't in a hurry at first, but after hearing that the two songs were based on her own novel, she dreamed about the bustling scene in the book review section.

She hadn't been exposed when she helped Yu Wei write the song, but now that everyone knows, she'll definitely be pressured to write the song.

"Let's write about the first half today."

The reason Yu Wei wasn't in a hurry a few days ago was that he had already decided what song to sing. He simply let Qi Luo'an write it down, while he added to it from the side. It seemed that they could already see their future world together, brainstorming and writing together, and exchanging opinions and critiques from time to time.

It's simple and ordinary, but it feels pretty good.

The two discussed and wrote for a while. Since they had already established the worldview, there was no need to write in such an obscure way. They could just write that Wei Yu was listening to Wei Yu's new song.

When someone else's protagonist suddenly appears in his own book, Qi Luoan feels inexplicably guilty. The books have intersected, and the two protagonists are practically the same in fan fiction.

When will the authors meet...?

"You're typing, what are you daydreaming about?"

Yu Wei finally experienced the joy of urging for updates. Did I let you daydream while writing? If you keep dawdling, I'll whip you like a spinning top.

He's not in a rush to finish his book yet; Zhang Lingye's competition results haven't come out yet. He can write it later and urge others first...

Qi Luoan didn't say anything, but his fingers flew across the keyboard, typing directly into the text, "What are you barking like a dog?"

The two of them typed away, grumbling and cursing. They weren't typing fast, but the process wasn't boring either. By the time they got back to the point, they had already written more than half a chapter.

She was still thinking about finishing this chapter when Shen Yutong suddenly sent her a message saying that Zhang Lingye had started a live stream and was answering questions online.

"what?"

This was something neither of them had expected. They thought Zhang Lingye was just trying to garner votes and fool netizens, but who knew this kid was serious and actually planned to tell the story.

They weren't doing anything during filming, so what's there to talk about? Yet they're letting netizens listen, which sounds so real at first glance.

Qi Luoan switched screens directly and opened Zhang Lingye's live stream on the computer. He was sitting in front of the screen, planning to start speaking when there were more viewers.

The live stream also thoughtfully included a note: "Bring your own snacks and drinks if you're just here for the gossip."

Zhang Lingye had no intention of deceiving netizens. He ran a small business with integrity, so why would he let everyone make a wasted trip?
Since he was just one vote away from catching up, he decided to go live and talk, hoping his viewers would give him a final push.

For a celebrity of his stature, a few tens of thousands of viewers in a live stream is usually considered high, but today, six figures flooded in as soon as he started his stream.

Everyone loves to gossip, and if all else fails, you can listen in on the sidelines. You can't miss out on anything.

"Alright, most of the people have arrived. If you haven't liked this yet, please do me one. Please."

Zhang Lingye didn't waste any words and started talking directly. He began by talking about how Yu Wei asked him to film "The Tuner". A string of question marks floated across the screen. Wasn't he supposed to be talking about the behind-the-scenes story of "following Yu's lead"? What's going on here?

Why don't you start your story from the creation of the world by Pangu?
"Isn't this part of the story's background?"

Zhang Lingye was a bit shrewd; he knew these things had to be explained slowly. If he started by stating the key points, everyone would have left long ago.

He has to slowly win over the audience to give him likes. He's already "betrayed his friends for personal gain," so he has to get more likes from everyone.

Zhang Lingye spoke slowly about the formation of the film crew. When they heard that Yu Wei had brought an actress, everyone perked up immediately. Qi Luoan finally made her appearance.

Why was it Yu Wei who brought it? They thought the two met while filming. So, they knew each other even earlier?
Everyone was initially quick to enjoy the gossip, but when Zhang Lingye said that Yu Wei was in charge of the overall direction, not only acting himself but also teaching the others how to act, netizens clearly couldn't sit still.

Yu Wei is really good at playing blind people, everyone knows that. I didn't expect that he would actually teach others on set. Is that right?

"Really? Why would I lie to you?"

Seeing the comments asking if the streamer was lying, Zhang Lingye sat up slightly and said, "Not only 'The Tuner,' but Yu Wei also gave us acting advice during the auditions for the new movie."

These kinds of minor details can be revealed, but the specific movie title and casting cannot be mentioned; I'll leave it at that.

Upon hearing this, netizens were even more confused. Yu Wei's acting skills are so good, isn't it the director's job to guide acting?

There's also a new movie, Yu Wei's new movie, which will most likely be one of the two movies from the novel, either "Goodbye Mr. Loser" or "Kung Fu Jungle".

Netizens became more and more excited as they listened, and even while enjoying the gossip, they had an unexpected bonus: they could finally see Yu Wei's movie! They were looking forward to it.

The conversation veered off course, something Yu Wei herself hadn't expected. Netizens were just looking for a spectacle, not caring about the content itself.

Zhang Lingye immediately began to share details from the set, including how Yu Wei arranged each action shot.

Netizens were amazed, and the more they listened, the more they felt that Yu Wei was omnipotent, doing the work of actor, screenwriter, and director all at once. He truly deserved this international award!
Although the topic went astray, netizens enjoyed listening to it on another level. Zhang Lingye not only received a lot of votes, but also gained a lot of fans.

Yu Wei is too good at keeping things to himself; he never reveals anything. Lao Zhang is much more honest and reliable. I'll keep an eye on him and he'll talk more about it in the future.

Forget about appreciating the Three Kingdoms or Dream of the Red Chamber; from now on, this live stream will be called "Zhang Lingye Appreciates Yu Wei."

However, as the conversation went on, some people still asked about Yu Wei and Qi Luoan. CP fans can choose to listen to other things, but you can't not talk about it, because they came here specifically for this.

"How Yu Wei and Qi Luoan met... I really don't know."

Zhang Lingye scratched his head. "I heard that Qi Yuan introduced them."

Netizens were shocked after hearing this. What? It was actually the brother-in-law who acted as matchmaker? This was something they hadn't expected.

Qi Yuan, who was also watching the live stream on the screen, was so angry that he almost fainted. Here we go again! He just shared with a friend, how could he ask him to introduce someone else?
But Zhang Lingye had already spoken, and netizens had already formed a preconceived notion, with the barrage of comments instantly turning into praise for Qi Yuan's actions.

You did a great job facilitating this wonderful match!
Qi Yuan was so angry that he felt dizzy. He was clearly the person who disapproved of this relationship the most in the world, so how did he end up being portrayed as a matchmaker?

He looked at the screen through blurry vision, where four large characters were clearly reflected: "Selling his sister for personal gain."

The words I used to retort to Zhang Lingye have become a boomerang on his body... How did I end up being accused of selling my sister for personal gain?
