Huayu: Were you ever a top star before writing nonsense?

A few seconds later, "The All-Round Artist" received two more donation notifications.

The tip is 3000 points, which is 30 yuan.

Meanwhile, two more comments were added to the book review section.

"Dear junior, I'm not as rich as that rich lady. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Keep up the good work! I hope I'll get to hear you sing someday (⁎˃ᆺ˂)."

The other message was very simple, consisting of only two words: "Keep it up."

It is obvious that the three people who gave the tips should know each other.

In other words, all three senior female students gave Shen Can some virtual currency.

Qin Shu rubbed her tired eyes.

"Science fiction!"

"It must be a science fiction movie!"

For a moment, she actually had the urge to change her mind.

In an instant, she shook her head and dismissed the thought.

"Even if he's popular with girls and is being kept by a rich female senior... so what? Does he think he can create a hit book just by receiving tips? Impossible. Content is king. If he doesn't revise the text, this novel is bound to flop."

"Off work, off work, off work."

Qin Shu angrily shut down her computer, no longer wanting to think about Shen Can.

……

The next day.

To be precise, Shen Can got up and washed at six o'clock in the morning.

In fact, he had already woken up. After exchanging for the [Fast Charge] ability, he only slept for 2.5 hours and felt refreshed and all his fatigue was gone.

He spent the rest of his time thinking about his future path.

In his past life, when he chatted with his friends, he always joked that he was a "dodging genius." Opportunities rained down on him, but he seized very few of them.

Having been given a second chance at life and being familiar with the world's development over the next twenty years, he was naturally unwilling to live an ordinary life.

Reaching the top in the entertainment industry is a certainty, but what else is there?

Shouldn't we broaden our perspective?

For example, could someone copy Douyin (TikTok) and become a big name in the internet industry?

Or is it an early move to position itself in the smartphone industry?

Could they even be investing in drones, robotic cars, or robotics first, aiming to become an arms giant in the future?

He wouldn't have dared to think about these things before, but now he can.

All of this requires initial capital.

Even if you don't want to work hard and just want to relax, you still have to earn enough money to retire first, right?

"Buzz..."

The laptop starts up.

After washing up, Shen Can turned on his computer and prepared to log in to Tianya Forum.

【Wives Point: 18765】

This is the increase after he almost used up all his popularity points last night, which shows that the popularity of the newly posted post should be very high.

This is true.

Shen Can opened the post, and after one night, there were already more than 500 replies.

The most common comment was: "Shameless."

Shen Can touched the tip of his nose, as expected. He had a premonition that this would happen when he was making a fuss.

Some of the other comments were also quite interesting:

"OP, is that gossip or promotional fiction? I'm almost embarrassed to call you out on it."

"I have never seen such a shameless person."

"Gao Yuanyuan is sharpening her knife at midnight, OP, you'd better watch out."

"Tell me quickly, did you install cameras around Yuanyuan? Do you know the details?"

"If the inside story of 'Yuquan's' breakup is really as the original poster described, then Xia's actions were very unmanly."

"This is the time I've supported the original poster the most. Who says ordinary people can't marry big stars? The bolder you are, the more you can reap."

"I admire the author's talent."

"..."

There were also many comments criticizing Shen Can, but he ignored them all.

As long as he doesn't take it to heart, he can pretend that the netizens never commented at all.

"I wonder what Gao Yuanyuan will think after seeing my post?"

Shen Can thought to himself, bored.

Who cares what she thinks? Maybe she doesn't even use Tianya Forum.

……

Over the next few days, Shen Can's life became busy.

Busy studying professional courses.

Busy preparing materials for copyright registration, he shamelessly sought help from Xu Ning, which greatly accelerated the progress.

The novel's updates haven't stopped either.

In Shen Can's plan, "I Am a Singer" is divided into twelve episodes. The first six episodes are a selection competition for celebrity judges, similar to the judges selecting singers in "The Voice of China" and then forming teams. The last six episodes are team elimination battles.

In the first six episodes, each singer had two opportunities to perform and showcase themselves to the audience and the four judges.

If the singer is not selected by any judge, they will be eliminated.

In this way, the plot becomes obvious.

Online novels need conflict to create tension and pressure for readers. Only when the protagonist sings and acts cool can readers feel truly satisfied. This is the principle of "building up by first suppressing the main character."

Therefore, in the second round of singing performances in the first episode, Shen Can arranged for a has-been singer to sing her best song, a blind singer to bring the audience to tears with "I Want to See the Light Again," and a singer skilled in high notes to shock everyone with her high notes...

All three were selected by the judges.

The pressure on the protagonist is immense!

Suddenly, she transitioned from acting to becoming a leading figure in the music industry, facing the crisis of being eliminated.

People felt sorry for him, people worried about him...

Even his ex-girlfriend, a top judge, got nervous for him.

In this context, the protagonist brings out Mao Buyi's heartfelt work: "A Person Like Me".

The song not only caught the audience off guard but also made them cry even harder, and the judges were also deeply moved.

—Isn't it just about being heartfelt? Anyone can do that.

Moreover, this song is more relatable than the story of a blind person wanting to see the light. In this world, the vast majority of people are ordinary, and many have struggled in society for years without achieving anything.

The rest of the novel's plot is even simpler: under Shen Can's arrangement, the protagonist is chosen by his ex-girlfriend and successfully joins the team.

Here, Shen Can incorporates the "information gap" technique, a key element of online novels. Readers know that the protagonist and his ex-girlfriend, a pop diva, were once in a romantic relationship, and the protagonist and his ex-girlfriend in the novel are also aware of this. However, the readers and netizens in the book are unaware of this, which brings readers a sense of satisfaction and makes them look forward to the future development of the relationship between the protagonist and his ex-girlfriend.

The positive response to these chapters after they were published on Tianya Forum exceeded Shen Can's expectations.

"I didn't feel much when I read the author's novels before, but this time I was deeply moved by 'A Person Like Me'. I'm over thirty and have accomplished nothing. I'm so tired of living."

"The lyrics made me cry."

"I wish these songs, created by authors, really existed in real life. I want to hear them."

"Honestly, the lyrics written by the author are much more sophisticated than those online songs."

"Are there any talented composers who would like to collaborate with the author? He's right, he's really talented at writing lyrics."

It's worth mentioning that this time, when posting on Tianya Forum, Shen Can didn't continue using female celebrities to attract attention, but instead used the secrets of the White Dragon King.

Examples include the White Dragon King telling Andy Lau's fortune, changing the name of the movie "Infernal Affairs" to "Infernal Affairs", avoiding Leslie Cheung before his death, and suggesting that the lead actor of "Initial D" be changed from Edison Chen to Jay Chou.
