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

Chapter 250 Is this a provocation?
"Without a doubt, I would choose 'Rare Characters'."

After going to great lengths to defeat the AI ​​singer, Zhang Lingye didn't hesitate and immediately chose the song that almost knocked him out of the top 48.

Although this song isn't very musical, it does have some cultural significance. Choosing it is like choosing a new title for yourself.

What kind of meaningless internet-famous songs are these? He is a inheritor of Chinese character culture, and his identity is something he gives himself when he goes out into the world.

Zhang Lingye was too eager to improve...

"Then hurry up, this song should be released sooner rather than later."

The song has been released for a while now, and if official media really want to repost and promote it, it will only be a matter of the next day or two. The higher-ups don't care about real people or AI; they'll use whichever one is more effective.

Moreover, while this song is indeed popular, it hasn't escaped the essence of a viral hit; it's popular for a while and then it fades away. If you want to ride the wave of popularity, you'd better do it as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, bro, I'm already memorizing the lyrics."

If it were any other song, Zhang Lingye could definitely learn it after singing it for a while, but the lyrics of "Rare Characters" are too difficult to pronounce, and he really can't sing it smoothly without familiarizing himself with them.

He used to envy Fei Hong and the others. They were all met later, but Yu Wei gave them a song as his signature piece, while he, as an old teammate, got nothing.

I misunderstood my brother. It turns out he saved someone better for himself. He used to call him Wei Zi, but now he calls him Brother Yu. That's his sincerity.

Don't underestimate a guy calling you "brother"; it's a huge sign of respect. If you get carried by him a couple more times, he might start calling you "daddy"...

With Zhang Lingye's matter settled, the next day, Yu Wei and his team arrived at the practice room arranged by the program team, where they had a week to conduct final rehearsals.

The rehearsal time for this program was longer than usual. After all, it was a performance in a large stadium and a live broadcast, so we had to take it seriously.

Previously, the show was recorded before being broadcast, and the production team would at least do some audio editing in post-production. But there's no post-production for live broadcasts, so if you mess up, it's all over.

The guest performers were naturally not worried, as they were all seasoned veterans with plenty of experience. However, the amateur performers were all performing on such a large stage for the first time, so they had to prepare themselves mentally beforehand.

Based on their collaborative experience, Yu Wei and the eight amateur partners were divided into groups. Athlete Xing Chao and tour guide Fang Ze were in the ordinary group, whose skills and mentality were average.

Lin Yuting, new author Hu Xing, and driver Liu Wang are in the mindset group. Their skills are much better than amateurs. As long as they keep a stable mindset, there will be no problem.

Qi Luoan and Sakura Rio are both highly accomplished; their professional-level singing skills are reliable even among celebrities.

Finally, there's teacher Tian Jun, who formed a separate group. He's just too amazing; Yu Wei is still haunted by the shadow of his raspy voice.

Based on their skill level, the repertoire for the chorus will need to be adjusted accordingly; at the very least, someone like Tian Jun shouldn't be allowed to sing too much...

It would be best to arrange some recitations or something for him; he's a Chinese language teacher, so this is a good fit for his profession.

"You guys go and warm up your voices and practice first, then we'll start practicing this afternoon."

The main problem is that I can't practice right now; he hasn't even written the song yet. We'll talk about it after the update is complete and I can redeem it.

By the way, give them some time to get to know each other. Singing in a chorus requires a certain level of chemistry, so it's good for them to get to know each other and make friends.

"Where's the song? Let me see it."

Qi Luo'an immediately started asking for the song "Beautiful Myth" from yesterday; if others couldn't practice it, she could.

After all, it's a song she sang with Yu Wei. It would be a lie to say she wasn't curious. What are the lyrics and music like? Will it leave her and Yu Wei with an unforgettable night?
"Stop looking at it, let's get back to writing."

Yu Wei was still pointing to Qi Luoan helping him write a song; there was plenty of time to practice throughout the week, so he should exchange the song first.

"Don't be so stingy, just take a look."

To be honest, Qi Luoan had been thinking about it all night. The thought of singing side by side with Yu Wei made her so excited that she couldn't sleep. What's wrong with taking a look? It would at least satisfy her craving.

"alright."

Yu Wei took out the sheet music and handed it over, but Qi Luoan reached out to snatch it. However, Yu Wei had anticipated this and feigned an attack before removing it.

He didn't know what kind of person this guy was. He was the kind of person who was so impatient that he would tear up a curtain, but if she really snatched it away, he definitely wouldn't let go.

"Let me show you, I'll give you a quick look."

Qi Luoan pouted and had no choice but to give up. One look is one look, hopefully the song will meet her requirements…

Yu Wei was still worried, so he simply grabbed both of her hands before holding up the paper with the lyrics and music written on it.

“5, 4…1”.

"Oh, I haven't seen it yet."

Seeing Yu Wei finish counting down and immediately put the paper away, Qi Luo'an became quite anxious. She wasn't being unreasonable; she genuinely hadn't looked at it.

With both her hands cuffed by Yu Wei, she couldn't help but let her mind wander. Before she knew it, time was up, and it was really no wonder.

The other non-celebrity guests nearby witnessed this and were thoroughly fed a dose of "dog food" (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). Aren't these two trying to hide it from others? Is this how they show their love?

The seven people looked at each other, feeling awkward about staying there. Why didn't they go out for a walk?

The rehearsal rooms arranged by the production team were all connected. Yu Wei and the others were next to Su Xinnan, while Meng Han and Lin Puyan's rehearsal rooms were separated by an aisle.

After a brief discussion, the group decided that since they were already being used as third wheels anyway, they might as well go and gather intelligence instead of continuing to watch the couple's antics.

Yu Wei didn't bother with them, as long as they didn't cause trouble in other people's practice rooms. Seeing the obedient Qi Luoan quietly starting to type in the corner, he was quite relieved.

He wasn't idle either; he had another major project to write today: Meng Lei's "Nanshan Nan" versus the final idol in the competition.

There are only three matches left in the second round of the competition. I almost forgot to send this person off. I've seen Yu Wei's video. Her singing skills are okay, but she's no match for the new song.

The two worked together seamlessly, sitting opposite each other and starting to write. Xing Chao and the others came back a few times, but seeing that they were writing, they didn't want to disturb them.

Now I know why they're not blind box best friends; these two are on the same wavelength, they can't compare.

"I'm done." Yu Wei typed slower than Qi Luoan, but he was the first to finish today.

He had heard "Nanshan Nan" many times and could write it with ease, but Qi Luoan had never heard the second song, so he was naturally constrained in every way.

"Stop coding, help me post the match video first."

……

"What are these kids doing?"

Lin Puyan had noticed long ago that a few young people were loitering outside the practice room, occasionally stealing glances at the students.

According to the production team, this is a member of Yu Wei's team. This guy, it's one thing for him to do fancy tricks, but why are his teammates doing such flashy things too?

Why aren't you practicing during practice time? Why are you just wandering around here?

Lin Puyan wasn't worried about them peeking. He was full of confidence this time, having carefully prepared both songs. He didn't believe he could lose.

Just in case, he also exchanged songs with Meng Han and made some modifications. With the two of them working together, how could Yu Wei possibly have three hands?

"What are you doing?"

Lin Puyan pondered for a long time, then looked up and saw a young contestant playing on his phone. Was this the time to play on his phone?

"Yu Wei's novel has been updated."

The young man scratched his head awkwardly. If Yu Wei were there, he would definitely recognize him as the little fan who stirred things up in episode seven when he wasn't there.

He was the guest's partner, so he was automatically assigned to Lin Puyan this time.

"What's so interesting about novels?"

Lin Puyan had heard of Yu Wei's novel writing, but in his opinion, the kid was completely wasting his time and doing something unnecessary.

For a singer, too much exposure isn't necessarily a good thing. He even organized a competition, wasn't he just asking for trouble?

Young people, focusing on creative work is the right path for you...

However, when the competition was mentioned, Lin Puyan remembered that he seemed to have given that kid from the Meng family a song to participate in the competition, and he wondered how it went.

"What is it written?"

He asked casually, and it turned out that Meng Lei was indeed the one competing today. Wait a minute, he only gave him the song yesterday morning, how could he have learned it so quickly?

This kid is so talented, how come he didn't know...?

"Ahem, what is Meng Lei singing?"

Given the quality of his song, winning this fake competition shouldn't be difficult, provided that the kid performs well.

""Nan Shan Nan"."

"What's the matter?"

Lin Puyan was dumbfounded. The song he was singing wasn't even his own, or even his father's. Where did this "Nanshan Nan" come from?
The young reader smiled, thinking that Mr. Lin Puyan was surprised by the unfamiliar song title. "I couldn't find it either. It should be Yu Wei's new song."

What's the big deal? This is just how Yu Wei is. He's used to it. This confidence comes from reading Yu Wei's novels!
How did this kid manage to steal Yu Wei's new song?
"show me."

Lin Puyan asked for the ordinary person's phone. He wasn't interested in watching the plot, but he glanced at the song's information. When he saw that it was a folk song, he frowned.

His specialty is folk music. When he heard that the Meng family's son needed it, he gave him a song without thinking. He never expected that it would be snatched away.
Is this kid trying to provoke me, wanting to challenge him to a duel?
Then he'll have to listen to this so-called "South Mountain South"...

Where can I listen to this song?

The young readers were bewildered to see Lin Puyan suddenly showing such great interest in the novel, since he had said the novel wasn't very interesting.

"You'll find it if you flip through the pages further."

Lin Puyan then flipped to the bonus chapter and saw Meng Lei sitting upright with a guitar in the video. He clicked play without hesitation.

His fingers gently swept across the strings, and a deep and familiar prelude to "Nanshan Nan" flowed out, instantly drawing Lin Puyan in front of the screen into a tranquil atmosphere.

This melody is interesting...

"You are in the bright sunshine of the South where snow is falling heavily"

In the cold nights of the North, it feels like spring all year round.

When Meng Lei sang the first line, his voice was warm with a slightly hoarse quality, carrying a hint of vicissitude, yet it was exceptionally sincere.

The amateur contestants who were practicing all stopped what they were doing. The song was quite strange: "Snowflakes fall heavily in the bright sunshine, and spring is in full bloom in the cold night."

If they hadn't heard that it was Yu Wei's song, they would have suspected that the creator lacked basic cultural knowledge.

It sounds surprisingly pleasant; the almost narrative singing style, with every word full of meaning, unconsciously draws the listener in.

Lin Puyan's brows furrowed even deeper. This kid was something else; the misalignment wasn't describing the actual weather, but rather a metaphor for the rupture of emotions.

In a simple sentence, not only is the physical distance between lovers separated by distance described, but the temperature also reveals the emotional misalignment in the intimate relationship.

This kid is really good at writing. After listening to it, Lin Puyan felt that the design was ingenious. He hadn't encountered a folk song that could attract him from the very beginning in a long time.

"Teacher Lin, the phone..."

"Listen before you speak."

Such an interesting novel, you only know how to read it secretly, confiscated.
