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

Chapter 84 Alas, the Power of Capital

Do you think I'm good enough to be a live streamer now?

Despite the applause she had just received, Lin Yuting still lacked confidence. She took a deep breath and raised her eyes as if she had mustered all her courage.

"You're more than just a streamer, I think you could debut as a celebrity."

Yu Weizhen wasn't just trying to comfort her; he immediately used an example to explain, "Your performance just now was much better than Tong Yulu's. She could even be a popular idol..."

"I'm listening!"

The show just finished filming and Tong Yulu hasn't even left yet, and this guy is already slandering people without even keeping it to himself?

Lin Yuting blushed slightly upon hearing this. She was happy to receive Yu Wei's approval, and more importantly, it seemed that she could make her parents less tired.

When are you going to write my song?

Meng Han patted Yu Wei on the shoulder with great interest. He was quite curious about what kind of song this kid could use to suppress his own work.

"If you write a song that doesn't meet my approval, even if you beat me, I won't acknowledge it."

He was just joking. It's hard to judge Yu Wei's books, but the competition between songs in his stories is still plausible.

In the current song competition, the main characters in the storyline always win, and in reality, Yu Wei's songs are indeed more comprehensive, making her a winner both on and off the field without any controversy.

Take "Invisible Wings" for example. Putting aside the singing, the song's theme is stronger than "My Faith." The suspense in the show just now was because Su Xinnan's performance was outstanding.

It's not that Meng Han is bragging; his songs aren't like those with obvious weaknesses. If Yu Wei wants to beat him in every way, ordinary songs aren't enough.

"I'll write it when I get home today."

Actually, Yu Wei had almost finished writing the plot for the third game of the finals, but this game's plot was very crucial because it featured the protagonist himself.

As we all know, the protagonist of a literary and entertainment novel cannot lose. All four songs in the final were performed by the protagonist, so losing any of them would be inappropriate. The only possible outcome was 4:0.

If you force an unexpected event to make the protagonist's side lose, readers might not accept it, and it's unnecessary. The point of reading a novel is to have a satisfying experience; who wants to see the protagonist get their head stepped on?
In this situation, the decisive blow to kill the game 3-0 definitely has to come from the protagonist himself; otherwise, if the victory is already assured, the protagonist's appearance would be much less impressive.

The first two rounds are purely for winning, the fourth round is of no use, only the third round is the most crucial.

Of course, there's another reason why Yu Wei wrote it this way... He couldn't find a suitable song for the fourth one. Who knew that the show's guest, Tong Yulu, was a "warrior" with zero works?

They won 3-0, so the fourth song can be skipped.

"Looking forward to your song."

Meng Han was unusually inspired to fight. In his more than 20 years in the industry, he had never lost to anyone except that one person.

Back then, he was just a rookie, young and impetuous, and was easily beaten by that old bastard Chen Ping. Things are different now; he's many times stronger than before.

What can Yu Wei use to beat his peak self?

If he can win, then he's even more awesome than Chen Ping!
After the recording of the program ended, Yu Wei and Lin Yuting left the studio, and Qi Luoan, who was leaving from the stands, was waiting for them outside.

"Let's go and eat!"

Qi Luoan had already booked a table of food, ostensibly as a "victory celebration banquet" for Lin Yuting, but actually also wanted to take this opportunity to have a meal with Yu Wei.

If she doesn't eat now, she'll miss her chance. "Music Blind Box" will officially premiere in a couple of days. After the first episode airs, how could she dare to go out with Yu Wei?

These days, marketing accounts will say anything. If they were actually caught on camera, it would probably turn into a "Yu Wei sleeps with fans" scandal on the spot...

She's such a fan, who can she complain to?

Before rumors of their affair spread, let's get together for a meal, consider it our last supper.

She had a beautiful idea, but Yu Wei was somewhat oblivious to romance. As soon as he sat down in the private room, he started typing away, his fingers practically smoking from all the typing.

I was almost finished writing, and it's really frustrating to be stuck here.

Sigh, let's just leave it at that with the novel...

"By the way, did you know that a few days ago an author made some critical comments about you during a live writing session?"

Qi Luoan was just making conversation; in fact, she didn't need to mention such trivial matters to Yu Wei.

"Uh, I know."

It's funny, Yu Wei used the account "Round-headed Old Man" to livestream for two days, but there weren't many viewers. However, after he stopped livestreaming, the account actually gained popularity.

This is a classic example of internet "death sentence." The comment sections of videos posted on these alternate accounts are filled with the same sentiment: "Sigh, the power of capital." Clearly, they believe that their lack of livestreaming is a sign of being sanctioned by capital.

The sanctioned live streams are like re-uploaded videos, full of high-quality content.

Although he has passed away in his old age, his legacy of hate will live on forever. His hiatus from broadcasting has ironically made him a spiritual leader for his haters, attracting many trolls and haters to "mourn at his grave."

That's just how the internet is. Netizens aren't mindless NPCs, but not all of them are clear-headed either. Otherwise, where would all these viral memes and trending topics come from?

They'll understand when the show airs; they cried at the wrong grave...

Seeing that Yu Wei didn't seem to care much, Qi Luoan had to find another topic, "I've decided to move out and become a proud day student."

She's been busy looking for a house lately.

"Ok?"

This did make Yu Wei a little concerned, and he slowed down his typing speed. "Afraid your roommate will bother you?"

"It's not that bad. We have a great relationship. It was they who suggested I move out." Qi Luoan's tone was slightly playful. "With fame comes trouble. I trust my roommates, but there are so many people in the dorm building. I can't say anything about the others."

A new celebrity has emerged in the dormitory building. The next day, she'll probably see posts like "Qiluoan under the original camera", "Qiluoan offline direct shooting", and "Walking with the eucalyptus".

Can she trust her roommate, or anyone else? There's no need to gamble on this; it's better to avoid trouble.

"you are right."

Qi Luoan's decision was undoubtedly correct, and her roommate was indeed doing it for her own good. After all, there are quite a few similar internet cases, and we have to be careful.

By the time Yu Weima finished writing, the two had been eating for over twenty minutes. Qi Luoan was worried that Lin Yuting might have trouble, so he piled a lot of food into her bowl, so much that it was almost overflowing.

Luckily he wrote quickly; if he had dawdled any longer, he wouldn't have gotten any food.

Yu Wei had just finished posting the new chapter and was about to start eating when the system's virtual panel popped up on its own—this was an unprecedented event.

[The system detected that the bound work has reached 30 words, meeting the eligibility requirements for listing. The data required for redeeming the work has been adjusted accordingly.]

Once Earth-based literary works appear in the novel's plot and the novel's data meets the exchange requirements, the corresponding work can be perfectly acquired.

Wishing you a speedy rise to stardom in the entertainment industry.

The day finally came. In fact, Yu Wei's book could have been published much earlier, but he kept delaying it to make it easier to redeem the book, since the number of readers would definitely decrease after it was published.

It seems that 300,000 words is the limit, after all, this is the platform's baseline.

They're all big names in the entertainment industry; what big name wouldn't be up for sale...?

Yu Wei had long anticipated this day. He only hoped that the data requirements after the product was released wouldn't be too outrageous, otherwise he would really be forced to run out of ideas.

He opened the panel and glanced at the details.

[Entertainment Industry Master System]

[Linked to novel: Why Do Celebrities Always Care About Ratings?]

[Literary works included in the novel: *The Wall of the Heart*, *Hearing the Sound of Rain*, *The Tuner*, *Red Bean*, *The Nameless Man*, *The Thief of Time*, *Riding the Waves*, *Swords Like Dreams*, *Under the Flying Clouds*, *I Am as Free as the Wind*, *Invisible Wings*, *Blue Lotus*]

[Redemption Requirements: Paid chapter interaction count greater than 1000.]

[Available for redemption: None]

[Works already redeemed: "The Wall of the Heart", "Hearing the Sound of Rain", "The Tuner", "Red Bean", "The Nameless Man", "Time Thief", "Riding the Waves", "Swords Like Dreams", "Under the Clouds", "I Am as Free as the Wind", "Invisible Wings"]

"Blue Lotus" was updated by Yu Weigang, so it's normal that it can't be redeemed at the moment. He understands the reasoning. But why did the data requirement for redeeming the work become the number of interactions?

What kind of data is interaction counted in novel statistics?
It seems really...

Thinking about it carefully, the system's introduction seems to have always focused on novel data, without specifying any particular data. It only emphasizes following the novel during the free period, without mentioning that other requirements are not needed.

So it turns out I just passed the newbie protection period.

To get readers to follow the story, you just need a lot of people. How do you increase interaction? Post something that's easy to spark discussion among readers.
