Chapter 90 Feelings: Not as Good as Wei Yu (Fifth Update)
The first episode of "Music Blind Box" caused a huge sensation, especially the duet "Under the Flying Clouds" by Yu Wei and Qi Luoan, which was beautiful, technically impressive, and visually appealing.

"Follow me, I'm totally hooked."

"This couple name is too corny. I think it would be better to call them Qi Xingyu."

"6."

"Brilliant."

Is this a name a human could come up with for a couple?

Netizens dare not even read Yu Wei's name aloud.

Actually, the show's editing was quite restrained; many of his interactions with Qi Luoan weren't included, otherwise there would have been even more people shipping them as a couple...

There are already enough people. It goes without saying that Weibo fans really like this, and even book lovers are mentioning it. It's human nature for netizens to like stirring things up.

This kind of thing might not make it to the trending topics, but it will definitely generate a lot of discussion, since it's a famous scene from a popular variety show.

Fortunately, Yu Wei was farsighted enough to choose a song unrelated to love; otherwise, things would be very unclear now.

The popularity of couples on variety shows comes and goes quickly. As long as the main characters don't deliberately promote the couple, there won't be an excessively large number of fans.

Yu Wei definitely doesn't need this kind of hype. The group that's obsessed with shipping the couple is no different from fanatic fans. They get a lot of attention, but it's also toxic.

"I should have written a story about a female lead who would become a couple with Wei Yu."

Looking at the protagonist who was still a little short of 10,000 popularity points, Yu Wei fell into deep thought.

While creating a romantic pairing carries significant risks, it undeniably generates instant fame, otherwise so many men and women in the entertainment industry wouldn't be vying to imitate it.

The two-dimensional characters don't worry about being overwhelmed by the popularity. Popular works can't escape the fate of being paired up with characters. It's one thing for official couples to do this, but many unrelated characters can also be shipped.

The classic scenario is that getting married is just one step away from meeting...

However, Yu Wei's novel already has over a hundred chapters, so it's obviously too late to try this approach now. Suddenly introducing a female lead is not a good idea; it would be a thankless task.

Wei Yu decided to just make do with the scoring system.

Just as he was about to start writing, an outrageous comment suddenly appeared in front of Yu Wei, causing his brain to freeze for a moment.

"What do you mean by 'following me'? Yu Wei's true love is only with the protagonist of his novel!"

"When the show was being recorded, Yu Wei was writing Wei Yu's story. When the show aired, Yu Wei was asking for likes for Wei Yu. Qi Luoan was just a colleague."

What kind of mind-blowing idea is this?

The formation of this pairing was clearly influenced by Yu Wei's recent "protagonist asking for likes" post. Nobody knew what he was trying to do, so he simply went for something abstract.

This reader named Baiye Jinyi was obviously just joking, but abstract things often resonate easily, and gradually, people in the comments section started to agree.

"The Yu-Qi faction is making a scene. Yu Wei only wrote one song for Qi Luoan and you're all starting to yell. Do you even know that all of Yu Wei's songs are written for Wei Yu?!"

"Yu Wei spent at least several hundred hours on Wei Yu. Does Qi Luo'an receive the same treatment?"

"I bet Yu Wei knew Wei Yu much earlier!"

It really is……

This generation of netizens has pretty rigorous logic. Even Yu Wei himself can't refute these few points. Wei Yu's songs are indeed his, and he did know Wei Yu earlier and spend more time with him.

What surprised him even more was that the spread of this claim was quite fast, and it soon rivaled the popularity of his pairing with Qi Luoan.

What era are we living in that we're still shipping traditional couples?

Before Yu Wei could react, he only saw Wei Yu's character popularity soaring.

……

"The chorus in 'Under the Flying Clouds' is a textbook example of complementary singing. Qi Luoan, as the lead singer, is limited by his weak technique and his high notes are a bit thin, but Yu Wei's assistance perfectly makes up for this."

Yu Wei took on the roles of composer, producer, and singer. He deliberately used Qi Luo'an's female voice as the narrative foundation, while he infused the song with his clear, high-pitched vocals, creating a dialogue rather than a competition between the vocals.

The producer's professional analysis, which kept up with current events, unexpectedly fueled the romance between Yu Wei and Qi Luoan. The songwriting and the singing complemented each other perfectly. Isn't this love?
Putting the song aside, the relationship between the two authors and readers is quite compelling, enough to be a book in its own right within the female-oriented genre.

Even Qi Luo'an herself didn't believe these CP (couple) shippers' comments. Didn't she know Yu Wei well enough? At this time, he was definitely engrossed in writing; after all, novels were his true love. With her extensive experience reading entertainment novels, if netizens were shipping the male and female leads, the female lead would probably already be blushing and smiling...

However, Qi Luoan has a clear self-awareness regarding her relationship with Yu Wei.

To put it simply, it feels like they're locked in a room where "you can only get out when the distance is negative," and they even pick each other's noses to get out.

She casually scrolled through the comments and surprisingly found a dissenting voice in the comments section, claiming that Yu Wei and his main character were the real couple, and that she was just an accident.

I feel he's not as good as Wei Yu.

"It seems to be true!"

Upon seeing the message, Qi Luoan didn't find it abstract at all; it perfectly aligned with her own thoughts.

Any of the points of contention between her and Yu Wei could apply to Wei Yu as well, and even more so.

Many female netizens find the author-reader relationship appealing, but wouldn't the relationship between the author and the protagonist be even more intense and exciting?

As for songwriting, that goes without saying. At most, he sang one of Yu Wei's songs, and it was a duet, but Wei Yu accepted it all without hesitation.

Most importantly, Yu Wei was indeed more serious about Wei Yu, a fact that Qi Luoan was well aware of.

He was typing when we were face-to-face, he was typing when we were sitting together, he was typing even when we were talking...

Even when Yu Wei isn't writing, he might be brainstorming plot ideas, meaning he might be thinking about Wei Yu every moment.

What's causing this inexplicable sense of frustration?

Normally, such abstract events are hard to become popular, but tonight the "Sui Yu Er An" CP became a hit, which has become the fuel for abstract CPs.

The best way to overturn a couple is to create a new one. The couple that Yu Wei has with the protagonist of his own novel is too abstract, which is why it is more popular with netizens.

Celebrity couple? Another marketing ploy!

Author and protagonist? Holy crap, I have to sit up and read this!

Not everyone accepts real-life couples, but it's different with abstract pairings. Everyone knows they're fake, so people can be more unrestrained in shipping them.

This bizarre pairing actually carved out a path for itself on Weibo that night, surpassing social events and related terms like "Music Blind Box" to rank among the top four.

Other celebrities rack their brains, but Yu Wei's novel had a brilliant idea: after tonight, the character Wei Yu might actually become more popular than them.

This time, Wei Yu is truly inferior.

Previously, everyone thought that Yu Wei's novels could only be used for advertising. Who would have thought that they could actually make people famous, and even a virtual character could be made popular?

Why don't we stop using pseudonyms for minor characters in the future? We can just use their real names. As long as they become famous, we'll accept it even if the main character kicks them to death along the way.

For many aspiring stars, this is indeed a viable career path.

Netizens got some fun, the production team gained traffic, peers found a new path, Yu Wei gained popularity as a protagonist, and only the "Follow Yu Er An" CP fans became the only victims.

They seemed to have been run over by something strange...

However, Qi Luoan, the person involved, accepted this calmly. Compared to her and Yu Wei's CP, the abstract CP did have a smaller impact on Yu Wei.

It's never a good thing for celebrities to be associated with each other. Her pairing with Yu Wei is clearly an attempt to piggyback on his fame, but in an abstract pairing like that of the author and the protagonist, there's no question of one person trying to take advantage of the other.

After all, the book was written by Yu Wei, so the popularity will be on him no matter what.

Qi Luoan didn't care about the so-called "CP" (couple pairing), but she suddenly realized that she wasn't irreplaceable to Yu Wei.

Yu Wei cannot live without novels, but she can live without her.

What she envied was never Wei Yu, but rather that unspoken feeling of being needed...

Qi Luoan had never thought about this question before, but just now she suddenly realized that she seemed to be dissatisfied with this relationship.

Fortunately, she wasn't pretentious; she knew what she had to do.

Brave people enjoy the world first!
