How did I become famous?

Chapter 150 I'm Here to Play the Victim (First Update! Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

Fang Bie is currently resting in the dressing room that the production team assigned to Su Mulin.

He still looked half-dead.

But in reality, his illness was not as serious as it appeared.

The illness wasn't serious to begin with, and after all that IV drip, it was mostly cured.

He's just putting on an act.

He was going all out for Su Mulin.

However, when he came to the production team in person, he discovered something very interesting.

He could sense that the other seven contestants had a subtle sense of rejection and alienation towards Su Mulin.

The other seven contestants often interacted, and their relationship was more like that of rivals and friends.

There is friendship even in competition.

Although Fang Bie didn't know why they had become friends.

Perhaps the pressure from the production team was too great, which is why they felt a sense of shared suffering?

Or perhaps, it's because of Su Mulin.

Fang Bie sighed. Su Mulin really has no friends.

However, this "reverse sob story" tactic, regardless of its effectiveness, has directly blocked the path for others.

You said a bunch of things that seemed like you were trying to gain sympathy, but were actually just showing off your wealth.

Of course, the audience is unlikely to see this as showing off wealth; they will only see it as a sarcastic jab at other contestants trying to gain sympathy.

Then how can others play the victim?

The young lady doesn't understand people's hearts.

Actually, his guess wasn't entirely wrong.

The other contestants were indeed excluding and alienating Su Mulin.

They even disliked Su Mulin.

The female contestants go without saying.

Why are you richer than me, sing better than me, and are also better looking and have a better figure than me?

That's fine, but what gives you the right to have Fang Bie write songs for you?

Moreover, every single one of them is a classic.

The male contestant ultimately came in the latter category.

That's right, Fang Bie is actually the culprit behind their alienation of Su Murin.

Why are you allowed to sing songs written by Teacher Fang?

It's all because you're rich!

If I had Teacher Fang write songs for me, I wouldn't be any worse than you!

This is what the other players really think.

Simply put, it boils down to one word.

acid!

Moreover, everyone has been practicing singing hard all week, and finding guest singers is a matter of each agency pulling out all the stops, begging and pleading to find first, second, or third-tier singers.

You, Su Mulin, don't practice much every day. You're either not in the practice room, or you're just sitting there playing the piano in your own practice room.

Yes! You play the piano very well! Nobody plays as well as you!

But why do you get the most attention without putting in any effort?

It's all because you know Teacher Fang!

Hmm, we've come full circle.

They're still sour.

In essence, it boils down to this: the problem lies not in the scarcity of resources, but in the unequal distribution of wealth.

Everyone works hard, but you don't, yet you still get better results than everyone else.

If it were just one-on-one, that would be fine, but now it's one against seven.

Of course, everyone was very unhappy about that.

Fang Bie didn't know that Su Mulin practiced quite hard; she was actually a typical talent-plus-hard-working type of player.

However, she has a habit of not liking to show her hard work to others.

According to her own words, she only cares about the outcome of everything.

No matter how much you show your process to others, if the result is failure, you are still a loser.

Fang smiled but didn't say anything.

In his previous life, there were many such good students in the school.

But most people call them "academic bitches".

Those people who say they usually just play around, but then stay up late studying.

Soon, the first six groups of contestants had finished singing.

Fang Bie found it utterly boring.

It wasn't that he sang badly, but rather that he wasn't impressive enough.

Or rather, this step is actually a bit of a reversal of priorities.

Lin Qingjie is right. This show is called "Amateur Singer King", not "Pseudo-Amateur Singers and Their Singing Star Friends".

If all of you contestants become mere supporting characters, then what's the point of this show?

Didn't you see that the four judges were initially trying to be "high," but later all they could do was smile, and by the end they were all expressionless?

If Fang Bie were a judge, there wouldn't have been a final four; he would have just told the seven groups of contestants to go about their business.

Then, if we leave that guest singer behind, we can just rename it "I Am a Singer" and keep performing. I feel like it might even be better.

After mentally deleting today's Yin-Yang technique from his cooldown period, Fang Bie turned around and asked, "How does it feel?"

Su Mulin, who had been silently adjusting her state with her eyes closed, opened them: "It's alright."

She had no eyes for the other contestants, only for Fang Bie.

This performance was prepared for Fang Bie.

Watch as your song and my voice combine to create a dazzling spectacle.

She stood up, opened the door, and headed towards the stage.

Fang Bie quickly called out to her from behind, "Hey! You're going to just leave if you don't push me?"

Su Mulin choked, then stiffly turned around.

Fang Bie said impatiently, "Hurry up! Stop dawdling!"

"."

Su Mulin brushed her hair aside to hide her embarrassment and quickly ran behind him, pushing the wheelchair toward the stage.

The viewers watching the live stream were amused by their interaction.

"Hahaha! My Ah Lin is so cute! All the momentum I had built up was ruined by Teacher Fang!"

"Teacher Fang actually noticed his nervousness, so he used this method to relieve Su Mulin's psychological pressure. Okay, I can't make this up anymore."

"Teacher Fang and Ah Lin have amazing chemistry! Don't you guys feel the same way?"

"Um, I feel like they're more like an older brother and younger sister."

"I even think they look like a father and daughter (laughs)."

Click—!

In front of the television, Su Shi glanced at the cracked glass in his father's hand and laughed out loud: "Dad, the people participating in the interaction were just talking nonsense, don't take it so seriously."

Old Man Su remained silent, but Second Brother Su spoke up: "That's right, they're only six or seven years apart. In another two years, the difference won't be noticeable. Dad, don't be jealous. What father is jealous of his future son-in-law?"

Su Shi glanced back at the similarly cracked glass in Su Zhe's hand and said speechlessly, "Do you even have the right to say that?"

You're telling your dad not to be jealous of his future son-in-law, but you, as the older brother, are jealous of your future brother-in-law?

They're all cut from the same cloth.

Su Shi smiled faintly and put down the glass in his hand.

He needs to go to the bathroom to wash his hands.

He accidentally crushed the glass, and the tea inside spilled all over his hand.

Has Su Mulin practiced this song?

Of course she's trained!

Not only does she practice, but she also likes to hum other people's songs whenever she has free time.

She finished all the other songs that she hadn't completed and put them on her phone so she could listen to them wherever she went.

When no one is around, she will hum along to the music.

For this song, she even had to learn Cantonese intensively, even though she didn't know any Cantonese before.

Although most people were just singing along in Cantonese, she learned to the point where she could communicate normally in Cantonese.

She also learned the Minnan dialect.

So, is she confident?

Of course!

She prefers these songs to others.

"Red/White Rose" is actually one of her favorite songs.

Because she had seen Fang Bie's paintings.

It was a painting composed of seven doll-like girls.

The painting also includes a self-portrait of Fang Bie.

At a dining table, seven female dolls with different appearances and personalities sat on either side of the table, while Fang Bie poured tea for them.

She asked Fang Bie what those were, and Fang Bie said they were his paper doll wives.

So angry was Miss Su that she confiscated the painting.

However, she often takes it out to admire herself.

Gradually, she also grew to like those girl dolls.

What she especially liked were the two doll girls, one in red and one in white.

She learned their names from Fang Bie.

The one wearing red is called Zhenhong.

The one wearing pink and white clothes is called Xuehua Qijing.

Although Fang Bie didn't say it, she knew that "Red/White Roses" was written for them.

She's found her rhythm.

Pushing Fang Bie onto the stage, Lin Qingjie and the others were still at a loss when they saw the "seriously ill" Fang Bie.

The group exchanged glances, and finally Lin Qingjie spoke up: "Su Mulin, who is your guest singer?"

Fang Bie raised the microphone, his voice hoarse: "Hello, judges and audience. My name is Fang Bie, and I am just an ordinary person."

Ye Lun picked up the thread: "Most viewers probably recognize this Mr. Fang Biefang. He's the director of 'Captain China' and 'Shadow of Light,' the author of 'Pipa Xing' and 'Shuidiao Getou,' and the father of superheroes, Mr. Fang Biefang!"

He paused, and after the applause subsided, he smiled and said, "Of course, Teacher Fang is also a very talented music creator. The song I sang, 'Blue and White Porcelain,' as well as 'Sunny Day' and 'Seven Mile Fragrance' performed by contestant Su Mulin in previous episodes, were all composed by Teacher Fang."

After introducing Fang Bie, he steered the conversation back on track: "Professor Fang, is there anything you'd like to say to the audience?"

Fang Bie's voice was hoarse: "Actually, I'm here today to play the victim."

There was a gasp of surprise from the audience, and the four guests and the production team were also stunned.

Playing the victim?

I know you came here with this look to play the victim, and the audience knows it's a segment for playing the victim, but is it really okay to be so blatant?

Fang ignored them and continued talking: "Actually, I caught a bad cold today and have a high fever, probably at least 40 degrees Celsius, if not 50. As you can see, I'm on an IV drip right now. I also have a sore throat. I haven't slept for a month because of today's performance, and I haven't eaten anything for three months, just surviving on water. I truly love this stage. I heard I was invited to be a guest singer, so I practice singing for 25 hours every day. If no one had invited me, I would have signed up to participate. But unfortunately, I still got sick."

"I'm heartbroken, I'm desperate, but there's nothing I can do, reality is cruel. So please understand, the following song will still be sung by Xiaolin alone, and I hope you will all support her."

"Speaking of songs, I think of the songs like 'Sunny Day' from before. In the second half of this year, that is, from now on, songs including new songs, 'Sunny Day', 'Seven Mile Fragrance', etc. will be included in Xiao Lin's first solo album. There will be a total of ten songs, and each of them will be a hit song."

With success in both the film and music industries, promoting Chinese entertainment culture, we hope for your continued support.

"My sob story is over. Someone please push me down, thank you."

Viewers in front of their computers and televisions were overjoyed.

"Haha! I've never seen such a shameless person (laughs)! Teacher Su's sob story turned into a live cancellation of the album, I'm speechless! I'll buy it, okay!"

"This is truly god-like 'playing the victim.' Can a person have a fever of 50 degrees Celsius? No! Can a person go a month without sleep? No! Can a person go three months without food? Still no! Most importantly, are there even 25 hours in a day? So I'm certain that Teacher Fang is completely mocking the production team! The previous seven groups of guests were all playing the victim, and Teacher Fang probably couldn't stand it anymore. But daring to directly be sarcastic towards the production team and other contestants, and the fact that they didn't dare to refute him, I can only say FDNB!"

On stage, Lin Qingjie went straight off the stage and pushed Fang Bie next to the judges' seats, and then Ye Lun signaled Su Mulin to begin her performance.

Su Mulin, sitting in front of the piano, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them.

Her performance began.

Please vote for me!
