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

Chapter 37: Catching someone like Yu Wei?
"New song?"

Qi Yuan never spends time watching variety shows, but after his manager reminded him, he patiently watched the trailer for episode 7 of "HELLO Roommate".

He was originally supposed to be on this episode...

In the trailer, Yu Wei still loves typing as always, which matches Qi Yuan's impression of him.

Soon, he noticed the new song Wu Qi told him about, which meant that Yu Wei had also released a song while appearing on a variety show.

For celebrities who cherish their reputation, appearing on variety shows is like a good student going to an internet cafe—frivolous and superficial.

He skipped classes and stayed up all night at internet cafes, yet he still got a perfect score. Isn't that just being frivolous? How did he become a creator?

This completely contradicts Qi Yuan's conjecture.

"He wrote another poem in such a short time. He really needs to get on better terms with Yu Wei. Sigh."

Listening to Wu Qi's sarcastic complaints, Qi Yuan finally came to his senses; the interval between these two new songs was less than a month...

What is this concept?
Although we don't yet know the quality of the new song, the sheer efficiency alone is enough to make one feel ashamed of their own efforts.

Qi Yuan was not a jealous person, nor was he petty, but Yu Wei's performance was like a sharp, shining mirror, not only clear and bright, but also reflecting his mediocrity and ordinariness without reservation.

If he had been somewhat evasive before, this time he had to face the gap squarely...

To defeat an opponent, one must understand them thoroughly. Qi Yuan realized that he still knew too little about Yu Wei.

For example, what exactly does he type and write all the time?
Qi Yuan had a feeling that it might be the secret manual for Yu Wei to become stronger, the true art of cognitive development from emotional criticism to practical testing and then to rational reconstruction!

……

"Oh my, love at first sight!"

Yu Wei, who was "quickly adding code", received a message from Qi Luoan. She was obviously teasing about the scene at the end of episode 6 of "HELLO Roommate" where Tong Yulu opened the door for Yu Wei.

"Let's learn about the saying 'Yu Lu Junzhe' and 'Yeluo Yu'!"

Yu Wei was too lazy to argue with her, so she simply made up two couple names and sent them over. She had originally come up with "Luo Xia Wei Mu," but since that person was her sister-in-law, she decided not to say anything...

"You've even thought this through, huh? You're really treating this show like a dating reality show?"

Qi Luoan certainly wouldn't take it seriously. As for Yu Wei's personality, even if he had feelings for a female celebrity, it would only be for the purpose of getting her to work for free.

They're completely unrelated. Even if they did have something going on, it wouldn't concern her at all...

"I never expected you to be typing so openly on the show."

Even though Qi Luoan was considered a partial hater of Yu Wei's novels, she still felt deep respect when she saw the program preview; he was just too dedicated.

"I didn't expect the production team to film so much."

Yu Wei just couldn't understand why footage of him alone in his room, engrossed in writing, was worth including in the show; it looked like a diary of a shut-in.

Thankfully, he didn't do anything strange in the room...

"Hey, go check out your book club circle."

Qi Luoan, bored, glanced at the discussion forum for the novel, and as a result, she actually discovered something.

A few minutes ago, a reader named Langke Gouxin posted a screenshot of the trailer for "HELLO Roommate".

"Major discovery! Yu Wei is releasing a new song! Could it be the one the author wrote called 'Hearing the Sound of Rain'?"

Compared to fan-oriented performances like farewell nights, variety shows have a much wider audience, so it's perfectly normal for readers to get their hands on the gossip as soon as the trailers are released.

If Yu Wei were an ordinary singer, no one would bring this up, but because of the previous collision with "Heart Wall," the author and Yu Wei clearly have a close relationship.

The song is still missing from the book, and now Yu Wei is about to release a new song, which makes it hard not to think...

"I feel like you're about to be exposed."

The new post hasn't been discussed yet, but it's only a matter of time before everyone discovers it.

"Let's expose ourselves, it's good to expose ourselves." Yu Wei hadn't planned to hide it anyway. Last time, he didn't explain because people might not believe him, and it would be troublesome to prove himself. This time, facts speak louder than words.

It will only become more and more difficult to redeem his works in the future. The natural growth of his novel data is obviously not enough. Revealing his identity will attract more readers, which is a good thing.

Of course, with more people around, more and more people will call him a dog...

Yu Wei was busy writing and didn't have time to keep up with the latest developments of his readers, so Qi Luoan took some time to take screenshots and send them to him, which was a great help.

Although her lips were as sweet as honey, it must be said that she was truly considerate.

"What a coincidence, another song by Yu Wei?"

"It's terrifying to think about. This episode was filmed half a month ago, which coincides with the time when the author was writing the plot of 'Hearing the Rain.'"

"What is the author's background? How could he come up with Yu Wei's song a month ago?"

"How can this author be so mean? He's always trying to take advantage of Yu Wei. Why don't he try to get attention from another celebrity? Please, have some decency."

Yu Wei couldn't hold back his laughter after reading it. From the reader's perspective, wasn't he the kind of person who would brag about someone else's unpublished work?
That's really bad...

But soon, new readers raised objections.

"But Yu Wei wrote this song during the recording of the show. How could others have known what he wrote during that time? And how did the author find out?"

Before "Heart Wall" was created, Yu Wei was not famous, and no one knew when the song was written. But this time it's different; the recording time of the show can be found.

Judging by the timeline, the novel's plot is basically synchronized with Yu Wei's writing cycle. When the song title appears in the book, the song is probably still unfinished...

Even if the reader has connections, how could he know about the unfinished, half-finished music that only exists in Yu Wei's mind?

It's possible to see unreleased finished music in advance, but it's still just music in the inspiration stage, how could outsiders possibly get their hands on it...

This alone is enough to send chills down the reader's spine. Is this mind reading or precognition?
The truth was already obvious, but they still couldn't quite believe it.

"Well, if it's someone you're very close to, like your agent, family, or friends, then it's possible to exchange ideas."

"That makes sense. Maybe I've discussed the ideas with friends or something."

"No, the author was already working on the plot of 'Voice of Dreams' after finishing 'The Wall of the Heart', which means he was already preparing to write a new song at that time."

"If the book was written by family or friends, could they guarantee in advance that Yu Wei would definitely write a new song? Could they arrange the pacing of the plot so perfectly?"

This reader, who called himself a "transportation company employee," killed the game.

Even if Yu Wei's close friends and family members get the inspiration for the song in advance, they still can't guarantee when the song will be finished.

After all, the creative process of art is unpredictable; when you're in a good state, you can write it in a few hours, but when you're not, it might take months...

Assuming the book was written by Yu Wei's friend, and he didn't know when the song would be finished, he would definitely drag out the novel's plot as much as possible, waiting until the song was finished before developing the story.

Just like recording someone else's life, the person recording can only observe until the person has finished.

However, the plot of this book is very coherent, with the story of going on stage one day and singing the next, indicating that the author was well aware of the progress of the songs.

Having a clear understanding of the situation allows one to proceed calmly and steadily.

Knowing exactly what the person involved is doing every moment—this isn't an observer's record; it's more like a diary…

"Who can have a complete understanding of the creative process of a song?"

"Is it possible that Yu Wei wrote this book himself?"

The crowd fell silent for a long time after seeing these comments. In fact, if one wanted to argue, there were many angles from which to refute them.

But there's no need, because they had already considered this possibility, they just hadn't been willing to admit it.

These comments have shattered their avoidance; even if they still cannot understand, they must accept the possibility that Yu Wei is the author.

It's hard to imagine that this entertainment writer, who's now a flop, is actually a real celebrity...
