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

Chapter 77 Round-Headed Kitten (Online Typing)
What literary novel is without its flaws? Even Zhang Lingye could spot the flaws in Yu Wei's book, let alone readers who have read countless books.
But there's nothing we can do. Online novels are often hundreds of thousands of words long, and in the process of high-frequency creation, any author will make a foolish mistake sometimes.

Writing several thousand words a day, who can guarantee that they will always be online and have a meticulous mind? Even platinum-level authors have moments of taking things for granted, but they are experienced and try their best to avoid them.

Yu Wei is different; he's a flop. Readers are mostly there for the spectacle, and few take the plot seriously. If you really want to analyze it, he just wrote a book based on the flaws.

Finally, the people who came to settle scores with him arrived...

Lin Yuting, a blind girl, fired the first shot in the anti-Yu and anti-novel movement. Have you ever seen a blind person before? You're just writing about blind extras. It's nonsense and wishful thinking.
Yu Wei never expected that he would have such a connection with visually impaired people. Not only had he written about them, but he had also acted in them. And now, he actually met one on the show.

Tong Yulu's blind box contained her young reader, who wore black-rimmed glasses and looked very refined. He was most likely an engineering student, and who knows, he might even be into anime and manga.

Saying that anime/manga fans are fat otaku is a bit of a stereotype. Actually, many otaku these days are quite thin, always dressed in all black, and they don't do anything outrageous; they just want to watch the show from the shadows in a crowd...

He had been looking at Yu Wei ever since the unveiling began, but things didn't go as planned; he was pulled away by Tong Yulu.

Meng Han drew a chef this time. It must be very uncomfortable to be in the kitchen in this hot weather. I hope the uncle is okay.

Yu Wei is quite looking forward to his musical creativity. Who knows, he might just pull off a whole "stir-fry rock" thing, which would be really exciting, in a physical sense.

Rock and roll is not dead, it's just become more familiar.

The blind box that Su Xinnan opened was amazing; it contained an e-sports player, dressed in a team uniform, who looked like a pro at gaming.

This is great! You can play the show and climb the ranks alongside pro players, as long as they don't put pressure on the newbies...

After the recording of the program was suspended, Yu Wei immediately went up to greet Lin Yuting. Given her special circumstances, it was only right for him to take the initiative.

"Is that Teacher Yu Wei? His voice sounds like it."

Lin Yuting was about the same age as him. Perhaps because she didn't go out much, her skin was somewhat pale, looking like a rice cake, much whiter than all of them, the celebrities.

"Just call me Yu Wei. Are you a fellow music lover or a fellow book lover?"

The keyword she provided was the song title. If the person was a fan, that would be fine, but if the person was a reader, it would be awkward, especially since it involved a part of the story related to the blind girl.

“Yes, all of them.” Lin Yuting looked toward Yu Wei in the direction of the voice. “I like listening to your songs, and I also listen to your books when I have time.”

Listening to audiobooks is even more amazing.

Many online novels seem fine when skimmed, but when you listen to them as audiobooks, everything feels awkward. The sentences are poorly structured, the words are disjointed, and the expressions, plots, characters, and emotions are all clichéd.

Even the tweets and videos made by marketing accounts are more fluent than his.

"Thanks a lot."

God closed one door for her but opened another window, but this window wasn't for listening to mindless novels, you know...

"It's not hard work, I think it's quite interesting."

Lin Yuting waved her hand with a smile on her face, clearly speaking from the heart.

Come to think of it, if it weren't for goodwill, who would travel a long way to the show to meet him? True haters don't have that much free time.

Yu Wei understood this principle. Despite his constant complaints about cheating readers, when it came to choosing blind boxes, he always chose his own people. Readers and fans had come from afar, and he couldn't let them down.

The two walked backstage, and Lin Yuting fumbled for a brown paper bag, inside which were handwritten Braille texts, with raised dots between the pages like star marks.

"This is the first chapter of your novel."

Yu Wei's fingers traced the raised and recessed areas, as if she could see the entire process of her carefully pressing and writing in front of the Braille board. Braille writing is very slow; it might take several days to write two or three thousand words...

"Thank you, I will definitely keep this as a keepsake!"

Yu Wei's feelings were complicated. While he was moved, he also felt a pang of sadness and emotion, and he respected Lin Yuting's optimism.

He doesn't think much of himself, but if his presence can provide some support to the other person, Yu Wei is quite happy. Logically, after the teams are formed, the show should enter the life experience phase, but Yu Wei can't just record the show blindfolded.

He's very good at playing blind people, but that doesn't mean he can actually adapt to complete darkness. If he couldn't see, he'd probably trip and fall flat on his face going down the stairs...

What do you do for a living?

While it's impossible to truly empathize, it's still possible to experience life.

Blind people have very limited career options; they either work in fields related to blindness, such as Braille editing, teaching, or playing music, working in radio, or working in the audio field.

It's difficult to squeeze into a regular workplace. Even if you have the ability, many companies will politely decline your application. It's not a matter of discrimination, after all, they're not running a charity.

If you don't have any special talents or musical abilities, someone from an average family would probably only be able to work as a masseur.

Although it might slightly diminish one's merit, Yu Wei suddenly recalled a picture of a blind massage therapist playing on their phone in a massage parlor. The power of technology, isn't it amazing...?

Would you believe me if I said I was a sound engineer?

Lin Yuting blinked and made a very timely joke. Her empty eyes became noticeably more lively under the influence of her smile.

She has seen all of Yu Wei's works, including short films and music videos. Her favorite song is "Hear the Sound of Rain," which is why she used this keyword.

You might ask if this song is appropriate for the storyline. It's not really that appropriate, since the theme of the song is love. But Lin Yuting does like this song, and liking something doesn't need a reason.

"I have no choice but to believe it."

Sound engineers need to have some experience, and it's unlikely that someone as young as Lin Yuting would be qualified. However, since she's already signed up for the show, she must be a musician.

"I'm a singing streamer, and I haven't been doing this for very long." Lin Yuting paused, then said a little embarrassedly, "But I'm just a music enthusiast at best; I don't have any singing skills."

"I originally wanted to go directly to a class, but my family didn't want me to suffer, and I also wanted to help my family, so I just sang randomly."

She is fortunate that her family dotes on her; otherwise, it would be too difficult for her to make a living alone if she had a physical disability.

Compared to Qi Luoan, who had a foundation, Lin Yuting was a complete novice. She was interested in music, but her skills were barely there.

However, her voice is quite clear, so choosing a calm and gentle song shouldn't be a problem...

Yu Wei was pondering what song to arrange for her when he suddenly realized that since Lin Yuting was a live streamer, wouldn't he also have to do live streaming to experience life?
It seems pretty good; at least it's quite easy, the process isn't too complicated, and it's not a job that requires any special skills.

The production team shared this sentiment, but specifically emphasized that he should avoid using his own celebrity account for live streaming.

"Everyone says it's about experiencing life. If you use a celebrity's account to start a live stream, is that still the daily life of a streamer? Experiencing the life of a streamer definitely starts from scratch."

These are the original words of Cheng Xu, the director of "Music Blind Box". Yu Wei also felt that it made sense. If you do a live broadcast on a large scale, then it's not experiencing life, it's hype.

It's like reality show celebrities experiencing a day in the life of an ordinary person and then getting a meal by using their faces. What ordinary person has that kind of face?

The production team's main idea was to create a more authentic experience, and secondly, they also considered the show's appeal. If Yu Wei had just started airing, the show would definitely have generated more buzz, but that would have been unrelated to variety shows.

What they need to consider is the show's popularity after it airs, not the contrast created by switching accounts during recording and then broadcasting the show.

Yu Wei agreed with this statement. It would be chaotic if he started streaming on his main account, and he wouldn't be able to handle it. Anyway, he wasn't streaming to make money, so he would just use a secondary account to stream for a few days...

"What should your name be?"

Since it was difficult to come up with a name with a similar pronunciation, Yu Wei decided to just pick one randomly. As everyone knows, cats love to eat fish, so he decided to call himself Round-Headed Old Age.

Then I'll post a GIF of a kitten typing while live-streaming the typing session—perfect!
