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

Chapter 86 Author, you don't want your novel to lose its first subscription either, do you?

The news of Yu Wei's novel being released immediately shocked most of the entertainment industry, with everyone asking:
What does "uploaded to shelves" mean?

It's true what they say, every profession has its own secrets. I only found out after asking that "being listed" means the novel's chapters start charging. What? I have to pay? I'm outta here.

"Don't go! Please subscribe to our first order!"

"The next song will be dedicated to my readers!"

Everyone originally wanted to just leave, but Yu Wei's attitude was just too good to pass up. No other celebrity in the entertainment industry is as honest as him.

What else is there to say? I'll just subscribe!
For anyone else, they would just have their fans artificially inflate the numbers they need. But Yu Wei neither falsifies data nor exploits his fans, which is truly undeniable.

More importantly, he has a genuine human quality. Judging from his sincere request for subscriptions, someone who didn't know him might really think he was some old flop who had failed many times before...

First comment on the first chapter's release: You begged me.

Celebrities in the entertainment industry would definitely ignore such comments, but Yu Wei actually replied to him, "I'm begging you."

Fans in the entertainment industry work themselves to the bone to generate data, from supporting their idols and ranking them on charts to controlling comments and fighting over billing order. Celebrities, instead of expressing their gratitude, often complain that they are working too slowly.

In their eyes, Yu Wei's reply was like a spring breeze blowing across Lugu Lake and autumn rain soaking Jiuzhaigou!
Top-tier celebrities mingling with their fans, even going so far as to release a song for them—how could they possibly dream of such a thing…?

Are Yu Wei's fans really that happy?

No need to be a data worker, no need to participate in internet flame wars, no need to spend money on fan support; all you need to do is read his books to receive his sincere gratitude. With so many representative works, fans will feel very proud when they go out.

Even fans of the show don't need to worry, it doesn't matter, Yu Wei will take care of it herself.

Where can you find such an easy and worry-free way to follow your idols?
In comparison, their years of idol-chasing have been nothing short of arduous labor. Yu Wei's debut made fans in the Chinese entertainment industry realize what it means to have "someone else's star."

Several long-standing grudges among fans have already exploded; the saying "comparison is the thief of joy" is the final straw that broke the camel's back.

"Brother, I don't expect you to be as talented as Yu Wei. We've been fans for so long and everyone knows your own limitations. But can you at least learn from his attitude? Who did you give a cold shoulder to when your fans picked you up at the airport last time?"

"My roommate is a fan of Yu Wei and is happy like an idiot every day. I'm the only one who's like a clown, worrying about your few views every day. I've had enough."

"We tolerated you changing wives one after another, and we even helped you defend your alternate account when it was exposed for using foul language, but I really can't take it anymore today. Goodbye!"

The novel's release indirectly led to a large-scale exodus of fans from several celebrities, something Yu Wei herself hadn't anticipated...

It's normal for fans to unfollow celebrities, but it's rare to see such a concentrated unfollowing phenomenon. In fact, he just acted as a trigger.

It's one thing for your own child to be disobedient, but when you go to someone else's house and see that their child is not only excellent in both character and academics, but can also cook four dishes and a soup after school, who can stand that?
Later, netizens dubbed this day the "Night of Being Put on the Shelf" in the history of the Chinese entertainment industry, referring not only to Yu Wei's public debut but also to how Yu Wei put other celebrities on the spot...

Everyone else is here in the Chinese entertainment industry to make money, but you don't care about fame or fortune, you just want to write a book?

What you're doing makes us feel awkward.

Yu Wei didn't have time to eat melons tonight; he was so engrossed in writing that he lost all sense of time. When a book goes on sale, there's no way it won't be updated in a lot of chapters. At this point, even a salted fish has to turn over!

Especially after the data requirements for redeeming works changed, the amount of interaction has decreased even more, and readers can't find a way to post more comments.

Other authors may not know, but his ability to update frequently can truly change one's fate.

Seven chapters a day isn't much, but for someone like him who doesn't have a stockpile of chapters, types slowly, and has a main job, it's already an all-out effort. It's not easy to reach a lucky number...

Deduct 7 and send Hellfire.

Before midnight, Yu Wei hurriedly wrote two chapters to give readers something to look at. He would slowly add the remaining five chapters later!
These two chapters brought the finale of "The Singer-Songwriter" to a close, crowning the protagonist as "Singer-Songwriter of the Year" and officially securing his place in the Chinese entertainment industry.

There's not much to analyze in pure wish-fulfillment scenarios like this; it's nothing more than a breathtaking, awe-inspiring display of power, followed by an acceptance speech.

Normally, the protagonist's acceptance speech only needs to be pretentious, but considering that Wei Yu is a "scoring maniac," he simply had the protagonist score the eight songs in the final.

Yes, when they get really ruthless, they even rate their own work. I wonder if other people in the entertainment industry are scared of that.

The NPCs in the novel certainly aren't afraid, but Yu Wei's plot has really scared quite a few celebrities. Even Meng Han's "Smog" was defeated.

This song won the Golden Melody Award that year and would rank among the top songs in the history of Chinese rock music. To lose it so easily seems a bit presumptuous.

What on earth is this song "Blue Lotus" by him? Yu Wei started writing about real life in order to pique the readers' curiosity, but his previous opponents were all a bit weak, and his fans, who just wanted to stir things up, didn't achieve the desired effect.

But the song "Smog" in the finals was different. It's a true classic of Chinese music. You can't defeat it with just a few lines from a novel, can you?

This really deserves an explanation!
You might say Wei Yu beat up Liang Zhichao and everyone laughs it off, since Liang Zhichao isn't a familiar face. But if you say Wei Yu defeated Ip Man, then people would have to ask Wei Yu who he really is...

"Author, you don't want your novel to lose its first subscription, do you?"

"Cherry blossom readers, take a break."

"New fan, has Yu Wei always been this sincere? It's been a long time since we've seen such a genuine celebrity in the entertainment industry. Isn't he amazing?"

"Don't be fooled by him upstairs. That lousy author is a master at lying. He just knows how to use song titles to lure people in, but he can't even release a single song in half a day."

"I'm a fan of Teacher Meng Han, a rational fan. What utter nonsense! How could 'Smog' lose to Blue Lotus?"

Hmm... that's rock and roll.

Actually, Yu Weixuan's choice of "Smog" was a bit too restrained. This song barely made it into the top ten of all-time rock charts, and it's not even Meng Han's best work.

His most popular song ranks third among rock songs, and it ranks very high in the entire Chinese music scene. It has an exaggerated level of popularity and appeal to the general public, so including it in the list is likely to provoke hatred.

The fact that so many readers can't accept Meng Han's second most representative work shows his status in the rock music scene. If he's not a superstar, he's at least a leading figure.

Seeing the increasing number of questioning comments, Yu Wei was not angry but pleased.

Coincidentally, what he lacks right now is interaction!
Now we've found the secret to generating traffic. From now on, if the data requirement is subscriptions, we'll write normally; if it's interaction volume, we'll write about a few big names with good personalities.

Fellow Daoist, come and join my Human Emperor Banner for a chat!
He's not afraid of being questioned by the other party's fans, he's just afraid they won't come. If they don't come, who will make up for the lack of interaction?

Thinking about it this way, the changes in the data for exchanging works are actually a good thing for him. After all, the number of people is always limited, and if he keeps asking people to follow and subscribe, he will eventually run out of resources.

But interaction is different. As long as readers talk a lot, this can keep increasing. Theoretically, there is no limit. Even if there are few readers, there is no need to worry. As long as everyone is active enough, it will not be a problem.

I almost misunderstood; the system still loves him.

When Yu Wei stayed up all night writing the third update, the interaction count of over a thousand was already enough, so he immediately redeemed "Blue Lotus" and continued to update rapidly.

He planned to finish writing the plot of the movie "Goodbye Mr. Loser" in the middle chapters. The movie had not been released in the novel yet, so it was not shown in the system. Now the time was almost up.

He chose to restore the film's box office figures, which were 14.45 billion yuan. This figure would have been a very good result in 15, but box office figures have been inflated in recent years, so it sounds rather average.

This was also the effect Yu Wei wanted. After all, he was writing a movie within a novel, and no one had ever seen a movie. If he wrote too high a box office figure, it would be hard to convince the public.

14 billion is just right; it reflects the film's value without being too exaggerated, and it accurately reflects the film's original box office performance.

Movie plots in entertainment novels are the easiest way to pad out the word count. You can copy some movie reviews and analyses and fill up half a chapter, and even briefly summarize the plot.

However, Yu Wei had nothing to copy, as there was no "Goodbye Mr. Loser" here. He could only write whatever he remembered, and it was inconvenient to introduce the plot. He could just finish it in one chapter.

"That's all for now, I can't go on."

After updating four chapters in a row, Yu Wei finally couldn't keep up. Anyone who writes often knows that physical strength is not a big problem, but mental strength is easy to run out.

Readers of mindless, light novels need to empty their minds when reading them, and the authors are pretty much the same when they write them, immersing themselves in the plot for hours on end. Anyone who writes that kind of thing will feel numb.

Yu Wei planned to redeem "Goodbye Mr. Loser" before going to bed, since his subscriptions and interactions were quite good.

He opened half of the panel and was dumbfounded. What was this?
[Exchange Requirements: The protagonist, Wei Yu, must have a popularity score greater than 10,000.]

[Available for redemption: None]

Character popularity rating? Isn't that a rather uncommon metric?

Oh no, Wei Yu wants to sit at the table!
