Chapter 76: The Novel Becomes Reality
Wei Yu's appearance in a deep blue velvet suit drew screams from the audience. In fact, the finals had already begun the moment he stepped onto the red carpet.

Despite the shouts and camera shutters, he didn't rush in. Instead, he stood quietly at the entrance, looking back at the end of the red carpet, as if waiting for someone.

What is he doing?

Just as the onlookers were puzzled, the next guest arrived. Chen Xinran was wearing a backless dress, and her snow-white back and butterfly bones shone with a pearly luster under the strong light.

Is this a singing competition or a beauty pageant? Why are they all dressed up so exquisitely?
Before they could even start screaming, Wei Yu at the door slowly spoke up: "The overall look is good, the individuality is excellent, the scene adaptation is average, the attention to detail is average, the sense of fashion is passable, I'd give the outfit a 7 out of 10."

Damn, this kid's got a rating addiction...

The final of "The Singer-Songwriter" is a team competition, so Yu Wei decided to change the format and have a four-on-four competition.

The main character only needs to compete in one match, but Yu Wei plans to produce four songs directly, which is the responsibility of the team leader.

He will use original songs for his own region, and as for his opponents in the second half of the season, he plans to continue using works by real singers, focusing on creating an immersive experience.

Where do the four works come from? It's easy. The three celebrity guests in this episode of "Music Blind Box" besides him, plus Jiang Li from the first episode, are enough.

Anyway, the scriptwriting happens during the recording of the show, so we can call each other anytime, discuss anything, and avoid offending anyone.

They're calling me "Brother Yu" all the time. I happen to be lacking some material for my book, so look at this...

Yu Wei now only hopes that the guest performers in the second episode of "Music Blind Box" will have a representative work to show for themselves, otherwise they will be short of material again.

It's a music variety show, so they can't just invite some mediocre person as a guest, can they?

During his few days off, Yu Wei also took care of the game collaboration. After reviewing the demo of "Swords and Dreams," both parties agreed to raise the price.

The quality of the song was one aspect, but more importantly, they discovered that Yu Wei's influence was also considerable; a short video of her recording a song garnered tens of millions of views.

This song has become synonymous with "chivalry" on the internet, and even for this added value, it's worth paying extra.

The pig farm, with its deep pockets, continued to raise the base price, while the studio, though lacking funds, showed great sincerity, offering some equity incentives while keeping the profit sharing unchanged.

This is the ultimate pie in the sky. Yu Wei had read the forums and found that this studio had great potential and made good games, so he decided to give them a try.

While experience is important, sometimes opening up a market also requires the drive and energy of new talent…

The martial arts world of hog farms—those who know, know.

After posting the new chapter, the production crew's car arrived, and Yu Wei rushed to the scene while opening the long-unused book review section.

He really didn't expect that there would be a strange person at the concert venue that day. He didn't know where the readers got their tickets, but someone posted a blurry photo in the book club.

Of course, it's also possible that he's a new fan who became interested in his novel after hearing the live performance, but this reader, 丶木槿暖夏, is very tight-lipped and didn't say a word except for the photos from the event.

It just goes to show that different authors attract different readers, especially when it comes to building suspense...

"Chen Xinran, could she be an extra in Su Xinnan's story?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, snow-backed butterfly bones, author, you're not being honest."

"Please let Sister Nan go after the show is over, Yu Wei, I'm begging you, sob sob."

Damn, this reader is a real freak. Anyone who didn't know him would think he was some kind of weirdo. He doesn't even know Su Xinnan...

As Yu Wei was flipping through the pages, a striking comment caught his attention: "Reader 20200308023046999: You didn't choose me in the first round, but you must choose me in the second round! (fuming) (fuming)"

The red pill that failed to be selected last time?

So impatient! You can't choose that package. Usually, people who are so eager to meet the author either send razor blades or get into trouble. How could I dare to choose that?

As Yu Wei entered the studio, he was greeted by several staff members by the camera tracks. Several respectful "Brother Wei"s rose and fell in response. He nodded in response, his gaze habitually sweeping across the entire room.

Calling me "brother" is barely acceptable compared to calling me "teacher".

Suddenly, his gaze fixed on the corner, where a familiar figure was sitting on the instructor's seat with his head tilted to the side. His long, black hair gleamed with a chestnut luster under the bright light, and his profile was sharp and vivid.

Oh no, Tong Yulu.

Is the production team so short of money that they actually invited a nobody with no representative works? Where are they going to find other people to use as material?
Actually, Yu Wei's words were a bit too harsh. It's common for members of popular girl groups to appear on music variety shows, especially as guest stars who only record one episode and then leave, so it doesn't necessarily mean they have much talent. Tong Yulu's current popularity is even higher than Jiang Li's from the previous episode. The idol industry is very age-dependent, and Tong Yulu is still in her prime.

"Wow, the great novelist has arrived."

Back when she was filming the roommate reality show, she called herself a great musician, but now she calls herself a novelist. This girl posts her reading notes on novels in the "roommate group" every day, and Yu Wei gets angry whenever she sees her.

The roommate group didn't just consist of the seven of them; there were also eight other guest stars who had appeared on "HELLO Roommates," none of whom he recognized. You can imagine how awkward that was.

She was the one who posted the reflections, but it was Yu Wei herself who died in the community...

An artist who does nothing but read his own books all day long, what, does he have some kind of salvation in his books?
"Is this fate's punishment for me?"

"What are you babbling about? Come and sit down!"

Tong Yulu patted the empty guest seat next to her, emphasizing her warm hospitality; anyone who didn't know better would think Yu Weicai was a replacement guest.

As soon as Yu Weigang sat down, she started reminiscing, and even took the opportunity to put down Chi Leying, who had just been carried by Yu Weigang a few days ago, her tone full of gritted teeth.

I feel like if these two could form a pure hate couple, there would definitely be netizens who would like that...

"You have no idea how smug she was after getting the role in 'Beyond Class'. She was still badmouthing me when she joined the crew a couple of days ago."

"She's joined the film crew?"

This surprised Yu Wei quite a bit, but Chi Leying's acting skills are passable, and she's more than capable of acting in an idol drama. With a bit of luck, she could become famous.

"Yeah, thanks to you, otherwise where would she get such great resources... Sigh, when will you mentor me too?"

Last time you were thinking of currying favor, but this time you're just begging for favors, huh? Think about it, and you'll get what you want.

"After the chickens have finished eating the rice, the dogs have finished licking the noodles, the fire has burned through the lock."

Su Xinnan and Meng Han listened quietly. They realized they should spend more time with young people; just listening to the two chattering away made them feel younger.

The recording process was the same as the previous episode: the host would introduce the guests first, and then the guests would go up to choose blind boxes. However, this time Yu Wei was the last one to choose.

He immediately spotted the remaining keyword from last time, "Singing is worse than writing," indicating that the reader trusted him and hadn't changed it...

Meng Han and Su Xinnan made their choices casually without much hesitation, while Tong Yulu hesitated for a long time before unexpectedly choosing Yu Wei's digital reader.

Not a buddy?

There's nothing you can do if you get snatched away, but thinking about it carefully, this guy didn't really lose out by spending seven days with a girl group idol.

When it was Yu Weixuan's turn, there were only two blind boxes left. The purple blind box had no keyword at all, while the keyword for the black blind box was "hearing the sound of rain".

The idea of ​​not using keywords was to pique the guests' curiosity, right? But Yu Wei clearly wasn't buying it and went straight for the black blind box.

He doesn't have time to play guessing games, which is why his fans are so adored.

This time it was Yu Wei's turn to open the blind box first. Opening the blind box was like asking a weasel for a blessing. He knew there was a risk, but he was just curious. The black curtain made it impossible to even see the silhouette, which made him quite concerned.

What would that identity be?

As the curtain fell, the contestant's delicate face was revealed. Her long, black hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her slender figure was encased in a jasmine-colored dress, making her appear quiet and well-behaved.

Yu Wei was surprised. How come it was another female fan? Wasn't he a male-oriented author?

However, he soon noticed something was wrong with the female contestant. Even though the curtain had been lowered, she was still standing there in a daze with her eyes downcast.

It wasn't until the host greeted her that the girl hurriedly looked up and greeted him back. Her eyes were fixed straight ahead, and although she managed to force a smile, she couldn't quite place the guest.

isn't it...

Yu Wei suddenly felt a strange sense of absurdity. A blind contestant, sitting in the guest seat—wasn't this a scene from his novel?
Has the novel really become reality?

It was blind readers who came to him because they disliked the historical accuracy of his plot.
