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

Chapter 44 The Magnificent Path of Calligraphy, the Legacy of the Yu School Endures Forever

"Wasn't it supposed to be a major war?"

Where is the battle taking place?

Zhang Lingye pointed at the brightly lit short video account on his phone. He had actually believed Qi Yuan's nonsense and was even waiting for the real battle to break out so he could help his brother. But the other side surrendered before the battle even started!

"This shouldn't be the case."

Qi Yuan hadn't expected this outcome either. Yu Wei's song hadn't even been released yet, and the other party had already become his apprentice. "This doesn't make sense!"

"What kind of common sense is this? Don't tell me it's from a novel."

Seeing Qi Yuan's hesitant expression, Zhang Lingye roughly guessed what was going on. What a good kid, how did he get poisoned by entertainment novels?

What gave you the misconception that online singers are brainless?
The minor villains in novels really don't need any brains; all they do is oppose the protagonist. In the end, they get slapped in the face by the protagonist and simply disappear. After finishing the book, readers can't even remember who these guys were...

But real people know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, especially influential bloggers who have been working on the internet for years; they know all too well how to maximize their profits.

"It shouldn't be."

Qi Yuan certainly hadn't read too many novels; after all, he had only read Yu Wei's book. He just felt that this first shot in the upheaval of the entertainment industry should be a bloodbath.

"If I were Yu Wei, I would definitely..."

"So you're not Yu Wei." Zhang Lingye interrupted him bluntly. "Why have I suddenly noticed how immature you are lately? Have you reversed your aging process and gone back to puberty?"

All he talks about are rivals, ideals, and conspiracies. Does Yu Wei know that he has to change the entertainment industry all by himself?
"You do not understand."

Qi Yuan looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle and sighed deeply. After all, someone had actually done it before.

Only those who have witnessed miracles believe in miracles; they are role models they have never met!

"I'm starting to doubt whether we'll be able to wait for Yu Wei."

Zhang Lingye scratched the back of his neck. The supposed big battle hadn't happened, and he figured his stakeout plan was doomed...

"Wait a little longer. If we really can't wait, we'll go check the apartment."

Qi Yuan was eventually somewhat shaken. Things had developed in a way that was beyond his expectations, and he had to ask Yu Wei in person.

Was all of this part of his plan?

……

Moving is an extremely painful process, especially for someone like Yu Wei who is "sentimental" and doesn't want to throw away unused items, always feeling that she might need them someday.

He would even take home a straight, long stick as a holy sword, and he couldn't bear to throw it away even if he just kept it as a decoration...

Online, this condition is called "squirrel syndrome," which refers to someone who, like a squirrel, likes to hoard things and is unwilling to throw them away. It's usually fine, but moving causes them headaches.

"Host, please give your evaluation of Yu Wei."

Yu Wei, who was folding clothes, paused for a moment, then glanced at the live stream on the computer screen.

Just ten minutes ago, Chen Chen, the person in the eye of the storm, started a live broadcast. The live broadcast room was very popular. Yu Wei thought about probing the enemy's situation, so he simply played the music out loud while tidying up, just as background noise.

Upon hearing her name, Yu Wei subconsciously slowed down her movements, wanting to hear what she was thinking.

To come up with such a bizarre idea as becoming an apprentice, this person is definitely not a simple character...

“You’ve come to the right person. Those who know me know that I’m a fan of Yu Wei. There’s a video of me covering ‘Heart Wall’ on my homepage. If you’re interested, you can go and listen to it.”

Have they found the home of a model worker known for his integrity?

Yu Wei certainly didn't believe it, after all, the song "Heart Wall" was indeed popular, and it was normal for singing bloggers to cover it, but if she used this as evidence, it would be hard to refute.

It doesn't matter whether it's true or false, what Chen Chen wants now is for everyone to believe that she is a true fan of Yu Weizhen.

"Why call Yu Wei 'teacher'... It's normal to call someone with ability and qualifications 'teacher'. Besides, Teacher Yu Wei gave me some pointers in his book, so calling him 'teacher' isn't excessive."

Chen Chen's smile in front of the camera is clear and natural. With her hair in a loose ponytail, she occasionally tilts her head to chat with the scrolling comments, appearing very sincere.

Most netizens were just there to watch the drama unfold, including many of Yu Wei's readers who enjoyed the spectacle. However, her well-behaved and sensible demeanor made it difficult for them to continue stirring things up.

This level of skill is something those low-EQ internet celebrities can't compare to. If Yu Wei hadn't seen two even more scheming ones on variety shows, he would almost have believed it...

"Thank you for the popularity vote, even though it's small. What's the advice? Well, how should I put it?" Chen Chen frowned at the camera. "I wrote the song 'Scarlet' four years ago. Back then, I knew nothing and my creative abilities were lacking." "After so many years, Professor Yu Wei is still willing to write about it and provide an objective evaluation and analysis. This has been a great help to me, and I have benefited greatly from it."

These words were quite skillful. They not only pointed out the origin of the term "mentor," but also took the opportunity to thank Yu Weiyi and express their stance on the matter.

Most importantly, she also cleverly elevated her own status, saying that the song was written by her when she was just starting out four years ago, so it was normal for it to have flaws and shortcomings, and it was understandable that she lost.

But if you think about it carefully, she hasn't written any other better songs in the past four years. She's essentially a flash-in-the-pan online singer. This statement is clearly an attempt to downplay her achievements and beautify herself.

However, everyone was there just to watch the drama unfold, and few people paid attention to what she actually said or cared about it.

"In short, I hope everyone will continue to pay attention to Teacher Yu Wei, and I also hope everyone will look forward to his new song 'Red Bean'. I believe Teacher Yu Wei's works will definitely be great!"

"I'll also be doing covers then, so feel free to follow me if you're interested."

He was meticulous, and even managed to promote himself at the end, managing to avoid offending anyone. The cover song preview was an attempt to solidify his "mentor" title and successfully attract fans.

There's definitely something to it...

Yu Wei couldn't find fault with him at first, but felt that there was a reason why this person was so popular. Although he lacked ability, he was indeed good at dealing with people.

Thinking about it carefully, it's not easy to write a widely popular internet hit song; it's much better than many minor idols who struggle to even cover songs.

The way things have turned out is actually a win-win situation to the greatest extent possible. Yu Weineng can use this to increase his popularity on short video platforms, and Chen Chen gets the traffic he wanted.

As for the title of "mentor," we can wait and see. People treat him with utmost respect, so Yu Wei doesn't need to push him to the brink. Besides, he can't control how many people follow suit in the future...

He wrote other people's songs, so it's not unreasonable for others to use his name on them.

Anyway, he's unlikely to admit it. The failure rate of online celebrities is too high, so it's best to avoid getting directly involved.

Of course, the songs will still be released as usual.

So what if you surrender? I'll fight even if you surrender!
You can offer some incentives, but you still need to give them a good beating to teach them a lesson, otherwise they might easily become rebellious.

Yu Wei quickly tidied up, leaving only his computer and bed unpacked in the room. He would have to make do for the night and write some more.

In the storyline, the protagonist of the third episode of "I Am a Singer-Songwriter" successfully advanced and immediately started a new round of competition. The rest is just a cycle of singing to win.

He had already chosen the songs to include in the book, all of them being popular internet songs similar to "Scarlet," and he remained completely silent about them.

After posting the new chapter, Yu Wei skillfully opened the novel's comment section. Upon learning that he planned to write about a new round of competitions, readers who loved a good show began to chime in again.

“I’ve disliked Xia Zan’s fans for a long time.”

"If something happens to the person upstairs, they'll have to take responsibility for it themselves."

"Write about Huang Chuyang! I don't understand why people always praise him. Yu Wei, give him a good dressing down!"

The guys are making wishes again...

These are all big names in the entertainment industry, and their fans are known for being ruthless. Do you think readers can protect them from such attacks?

Knowing his readers as Yu Wei does, he wouldn't even consider protecting him; at most, he'd just shield him with his own body...

He casually scrolled through the comments a few more times and surprisingly saw several people offering their services.

"Teacher Yu Wei, I'm Xiao Guo. Could you write about my 'The Simplest Scenery'? It doesn't need to be long, I'll even be a minor character."

“I’ll assemble the head and write my ‘Treading on Nebula’.”

“Teacher Yu Wei, look at me. I was on a talent show, ‘Canned Water’.”

Yu Weizhen knew these songs; they were all once wildly popular internet hits and were among his source material, but now they were just common sights on the street.

Seeing the success stories, these internet celebrities are drawn here by the scent, aren't they? Are they here for an interview?

Chen Chen's unconventional actions showed them a clear path...

The art of calligraphy is magnificent; may the legacy of Yu's school endure forever!
They voluntarily joined the authoritative organization of Yu Weimen.

Yu Wei was initially worried that writing songs in the book would offend people, but now everyone is rushing to send them to him.
