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

Chapter 181 Yuanyuan: Heavenly Bodhisattva, what did you call me?

Gao Yuanyuan's heart was stirred, and she could not calm down for a long time.

The song had finished playing for a while, but her beautiful eyes were still fixed on the eight words prominently displayed on the screen: "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you."

Her heart was filled with despair, sadness, and pain—the image of the girl jumping into the sea kept flashing through her mind.

Everyone has a string deep in their heart, sometimes loose, sometimes tight.

For a string to be released, one must either have a strong heart or be treated gently by the world. However, not everyone is so lucky. Those taut strings cannot withstand too much harm. Perhaps they are just one more injury away—suddenly, one day, snap, the string breaks.

Gao Yuanyuan thought of herself.

If I weren't so resilient, I might have been driven to depression by cyberbullying.

After a long silence, she pursed her lips and remarked, "This song really has a powerful aftertaste."

In the novel, the audience felt sympathy and moved by the protagonist Lin Yu's experience of being sidelined by the company for two and a half years, and believed that the song was written by the protagonist when he was facing the darkest moment in his life.

In reality, Gao Yuanyuan felt that Shen Can's vision was even higher. He focused the music video's storyline on school bullying and made an appeal at the end of the video: "If you don't want to be bullied, please don't bully others."

He created a tragic story, but at the end of the story, he told people not to let such a story happen.

That big boy smoothly turned his song into a charity project.

"He's so gentle," Gao Yuanyuan thought to herself.

"Perhaps this is what a true musician is like. He not only writes love songs, but his songs also contain humanistic concerns."

Gao Yuanyuan thought of "Rice Fragrance" and "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky"—these songs are similar, each with its own theme of concern.

With that thought in mind, she scrolled down the page, and the review section for "Underwater" appeared before her eyes.

What if you're still hungry? Well, well—eat a little more, and don't even spare the song reviews.

"I cried buckets after listening to the song and watching the music video. Why did they have such malice towards a young girl?"

"Yeah, I don't understand why I'm honest, but those bastards always bullied me when I was in school. Actually, the easier you are to bully, the more they'll bully you. You guys listen to songs, but I listen to songs to reminisce. Damn it, luckily I'm a boy, I survived, and I even fought back."

"Shen Can's singing gave me the feeling of a person committing suicide by jumping into the sea and the whole process."

"I'm a left-behind child and I've also been bullied. When I went back and told my grandparents, guess what they said? They said, 'If he doesn't bully others, why does he specifically bully you?' Yes, I also want to know why. Some people are just that bad. Thanks to Shen Can, finally a musician has noticed this area."

"Give your child a hug, and may everyone be treated gently by the world."

"I really like the melody of this song."

"I feel that this song is also very suitable for us people with depression. Every time I have an attack, I feel like I am slowly sinking at the bottom of the sea, with no one around to save me. I feel powerless and my heart is sinking."

"In fact, this song is also Shen Can's response to the online bullying he received from public intellectuals. The line at the end of the MV is really well-chosen."

"After I die, please scatter my ashes into the sea. I don't ask the ocean currents to carry me around the world, nor do I ask the clouds to embrace the mountains—I only want endless waves!"

"I feel you've overlooked the key point. As the saying goes, 'Art originates from reality but transcends it.' Shen Can may have experienced cruel things in real life, which is why he was able to write such profound songs. His choice of bullying as a theme may have even deeper meaning."

If my guess is true, and Shen Can was also bullied—then I'll really cry my eyes out.

He belongs to the type who "has been rained on himself, so he thinks of holding an umbrella for others."

Gao Yuanyuan's eyes widened in surprise when she saw this sentence.

"Psychology says that post-traumatic stress or prolonged psychological pressure can lead to changes in a person's mental state. So, is there a reason why he has these occasional fits of madness?"

Gao Yuanyuan placed her hand on her chest and suddenly felt very sorry for Shen Can.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

At Blue Phoenix Company, Shen Can also had his own private office. He received a call from Gao Yuanyuan, whose tone was full of concern.

Only after a thorough investigation did he learn the truth.

Shen Can was too lazy to explain.

Look, netizens have immediately figured out his motives for liking to create funny stories, so he doesn't have to explain himself.

Actually, the song "Under the Sea" is like this.

After the original singer, Yizhiduoleng, released the song, questions arose online: "Has Yizhiduoleng ever suffered from depression?"

Sometimes, listeners or readers will fill in a lot of blanks with their own imaginations.

Just like some authors who always like to write plots where the female lead gets bullied, readers will think, "Does the author have some special plot? Can we be friends? Just call me if you need anything, I'll definitely help if I can, no need to say thank you."

—The sound of abacus beads can be heard even in Antarctica.

"It's all in the past, we have to look forward," Shen Can said to Gao Yuanyuan.

He suddenly thought of Mr. Tan. In this era, "Tan Tan Traffic" had already started airing. Mr. Tan often encountered all sorts of extraordinary people on the roads of Chengdu. If he had the opportunity to go to Chengdu and confront Mr. Tan head-on, it would be a wonderful story in the years to come.

Waist and Horse in One, Officer Kawashima, Chenghua Avenue, Many Reading Girls, Car Models ————

I've almost finished all the practice questions, just waiting for Mr. Tan to come and challenge me.

The reason I say "almost" is because with this show, even if you think you've watched it all, there are always parts you haven't seen.

Gao Yuanyuan, of course, had no idea what Shen Can was thinking. She said gently and happily, "It's good that you think that way."

Shen Can raised an eyebrow.

Hey, why do I like my older sister? Because she knows how to care for people.

Similarly, the same applies to aunts.

Gao Yuanyuan then asked, "Let me ask you a question: who do you think is prettier, me or Lin Jing?"

Shen Can couldn't help but laugh.

Women, that damned competitive spirit!

"What does Zhou Zhiruo call Zhang Wuji? Sister, say it first and I'll tell you the answer."

To be fair, Lin Jing is no less talented. Besides Ding Minjun, her other film and television roles are also outstanding, such as Consort Mei, Lady Huayang, Wei Zifu, and Yu Huaxian.

This woman looks stunning in period costume.

Gao Yuanyuan laughed and said, "Oh, so you're already calling me 'sister'? You want me to call you 'brother'? You're dreaming!"

"Let's just pretend we're acting. You play Zhou Zhiruo, and I'll play Zhang Wuji. Okay, sis, I won't let you call me that for nothing. If you do, I promise I'll give you an even nicer one in return."

"Hmm???" Gao Yuanyuan's beautiful eyes darted around, her curiosity piqued by Shen Can.

What else could Shen Can call her besides "sister"? Did he dare call her "wife" or "darling"?

It shouldn't be that greasy.

But she really couldn't think of anything else to call her. Surely she wouldn't call her "little sister"?

Hard to say.

"What you're saying is just acting."

"right."

"Brother Wuji." Gao Yuanyuan's voice was sweet and clear, with a slight tinge.

"Ah! That feels good!" Shen Can's lips curled up.

Furthermore, his phone has a "call recording" function, and he has already recorded the call where Gao Yuanyuan called him "brother".

"It's your turn," Gao Yuanyuan said, her voice filled with anticipation.

"Mom," Shen Can said smoothly.

"ah?!!!"

On the other end of the phone, Gao Yuanyuan held her phone, her smile instantly freezing, her mind going blank, and she seriously doubted whether she had misheard.

No, is that right?

After the initial shock, Yuanyuan was speechless, shaking her head and smiling helplessly.

"You really did that? How could you even say that?"

Madness.

A line from a certain idol drama suddenly flashed through her mind: "You're so sexy."

Shen Can chatted happily with Gao Yuanyuan for a while, and after hanging up the phone, his gaze returned to the computer screen.

He opened the QQ page and sent a message to Linghua.

"I've buried him in the sea, waiting for you to retrieve him."

Linghua quickly replied with an OK gesture, then sent a shy Minion emoji.

Then, Shen Can logged into his blog.

Almost an hour has passed since he started posting his blog, and at this moment, there are already more than 30,000 comments on the blog.

It's important to know that, like online article readers, the majority of blog commenters are silent, meaning that his blog received at least hundreds of thousands of visits in a short period of time.

And they are all living people.

"When Weibo launches in the future, my number of followers should be higher than that of a certain outspoken celebrity," Shen Can thought to himself.

He then looked at the blog comments.

"I'd definitely choose Zhou Zhiruo, because she'd call Wuji 'brother'."

"I am the Son of Heaven, possessing the entire world. I have three thousand beauties in my harem. Only children make choices; I want them all."

"Zhou Zhiruo isn't married yet, but Zhao Min is a wealthy wife now. That's my type, so I choose her."

"Shen Can must have a deeper meaning in listing Abbess Miejue as an option. It's her. Anyway, she'll jump off the tower and die. At that time, I'll take charge of Emei as the husband of the sect leader, and then immediately change the sect's name to—Hehuan Sect!"

"I choose to resurrect my lover—Yin Susu."

"unbelievable."

In addition, there are many comments discussing Zhao Min's gossip, mainly focusing on her romantic history and current married life.

Some people are even wishing to see the "Holy Bodies" in the circle fight each other.

"Sister Tao's Innate Young Woman's Sacred Body VS Jia Jingwen's Innate Married Woman's Sacred Body, Heavenly Immortal's Innate White Moonlight Sacred Body VS Bingbing's Innate Enchantress Sacred Body"

"If they were to get into a fight, holy crap, that would be absolutely spectacular!"

"I want to see it too," Shen Can thought to himself.

I love watching girls fight.

He read the comments for a while and then exited the blog.

Seeing that it was still early, he began to write, preparing to update today's novel.

In the previous part of the novel's plot, the female protagonist Jiang Wanning successfully advanced to the semi-finals with her recitations of "Sheng Sheng Man" and "If the Moon Hasn't Come Yet".

The next episode of "The Masked Singer" will feature the main characters.

However, considering that he couldn't keep up with the pace of releasing songs in real life, he decided to slow down the pace of the novel.

this is very simple.

In the preceding parts of the novel's plot, he laid the groundwork for the protagonist to establish a studio, publish novels, and prepare for the production of the TV series "Love O2O". Therefore, the subsequent plot of the novel can simply revolve around these plot points.

For example, a singer who is down on his luck in the music industry may apply to join the main character's studio in order to seek improvement.

If you can't beat them, join them.

For example, the novel's plot is enjoyable for readers, student readers yearn for university life, graduates reminisce about their university days, and some people really want to play the games in "Love O2O," etc.

It's worth mentioning the game featured in this novel—"Dreaming of Jianghu".

While copying the book, Shen Can incorporated his understanding of the game into the settings of equipment drops, factions, mounts, and dungeons from World of Warcraft; guilds, romance, light-footed skills, adventures, and the in-game store from JX Online 3; pets and gems from Tian Long Ba Bu; skill books from Age of Wushu; and jumping puzzles from Guild Wars 2, among others.

Shen Can strives to develop "Dream Journey to Jianghu" into a major game IP.

The game based on this novel certainly has the potential to become a major IP, but the collaboration between the TV series "Weiwei" and the "A Chinese Ghost Story" game...

It's not that "A Chinese Ghost Story" is bad, but if he wants to enter the game industry, "Dream of Jianghu" is a very good card to play.

You know, after the TV series aired, countless people played "A Chinese Ghost Story" because of the TV series.

The gaming industry is poised to become a huge goldmine, and even ByteDance wants a piece of the pie. However, their executives don't like games and don't play them, leading to a massive loss of billions of dollars. As a result, they had no choice but to cut their losses and sell their gaming companies.

Shen Can is different; he likes games and plans to give it a try.

However, due to funding constraints, we can only make arrangements for now and deal with the future later.

"Slap slap slap—"

Just as Shen Can was typing away at lightning speed, his phone rang.

"He would spend his whole life drawing your eyebrows; his heart is as vast as the sea."

Never mention the hurt you caused him again, and make sure there are no other girls in his life—”

—Falling in Love with Zhang Wuji

Shen Can picked up his phone and was somewhat surprised to see that the call was from Li Jiahang. This guy usually communicated with him via QQ and rarely called.

Shen Can answered the phone.

The next second, Zhang Wei's voice, also known as Yida, came through the phone's receiver.

"Bro, I'm so spicy."

"What do you mean? You got someone pregnant? Abortion is discouraged. I can lend you money if you don't have the money to have the baby."

"What? I'm single, where am I supposed to get someone pregnant? I saw the song reviews for 'Underwater' on Kugou Music, and a lot of netizens were calling me a 'dead blond hair'."

""

Shen Can smiled.

In the music video for "Under the Sea," Li Jiahang plays a blond-haired thug who, after being paid by Li Jinming (the villainous female lead), leads Zhao Ji (the female lead) into a grove of trees.

Besides them, Lou Yixiao also plays a villain in the MV, one of the three girls who bully others, and the other girl is played by Zhou Fang.

You could say that before "iPartment" even started filming, Shen Can had already thoroughly messed with the main actors.

Furthermore, the story about the villain paying thugs to harm others is not something Shen Can made up.

This is a true case that happened in Yunnan Province 25 years ago. A girl paid a thug to harm her roommate. However, her roommate was hospitalized with abdominal pain that day and was not in the dormitory. So, the thug harmed the girl who paid him.

Sometimes, life is more absurd than fiction.

"Doesn't this just prove that you're a good actor? You could try playing a villain in the future."

Right, Snake?

"That's what I say, but I'm about to film 'Golden Armor Warrior,' and I play an absolutely positive character in it!"

"It's alright, this is just a good test of your acting skills. I believe in you."

Li Jiahang:

'

"Okay, for the sake of brotherhood—I mean, bro, can you give me a positive role next time? Like an important role in your music video, paired with a beautiful woman. If I ever find a girlfriend, I'll call you godfather."

So that's why Li Jiahang called.

Shen Can shook his head speechlessly.

That's why they say "Zhang Wei" is Li Jiahang's signature role, he's just so sleazy—cough cough.

Li Jiahang was unaware that his future wife, Li Sheng, had already debuted. Although she wasn't a big star yet, she had some works in the industry and had even played the role of "Weiwei" in "The Frog Prince".

Oh, no wonder Zhang Wei's crush in "iPartment" is named "Weiwei"; it turns out the production team knew about Li Jiahang and Li Sheng's relationship all along.

"I'll definitely do it next time," Shen Can said to Li Jiahang.
