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

Chapter 187 Please, just start a harem and take them in!

A rare occurrence has occurred in the book review section of "The All-Round Artist".

Shen Can wrote a new song in the novel, but there are not many book reviews discussing the new song, even though the lyrics of "Big Fish" in the text are full of imagination and the stage effects are well written.

Everyone's attention was focused on other things; Shen Can was just too busy.

Huang Ling could easily imagine how thrilled those in the entertainment news industry would be in the coming days, with all sorts of gossip articles appearing online, far more interesting than some celebrity scandals.

Yang Kun posted a message subtly mocking Shen Can. How long has it been? Less than half a day, and he's already become the villain in the novel.

Shen Can, this unconventional singer, even has a unique way of seeking revenge.

It can be said that Shen Can has developed a new tactic for online feuds in the entertainment industry.

You're insulting me? Fine, you just wait, we'll see each other in the novel.

Who knows what kind of disgusting character Shen Can will mold you into?

Moreover, Shen Can can use the characters in the novel to launch various attacks against you—instantly becoming the laughing stock of the entire internet, while you can't sue him.

How can I sue someone in a parallel universe who doesn't share the same name?

You insult him, but in return, you become the laughing stock online.

It takes courage for others to act crazy, but Shen Can just lets loose and is in a great mental state.

This kind of counterattack actually hurts quite a bit.

It's important to know that Shen Can's novels have readers who not only read the official version but also those who read pirated versions. On those pirated novel websites, "The All-Round Artist" often ranks at the top of various bestseller lists.

Pirate websites also value traffic generation!

It's likely that Shen Can's novels have over a million readers, or even more.

As Shen Can's fame grows, the popularity of his novels will also increase.

What's this called?

This is called being nailed to the pillar of shame.

For example, Emperor Gao Wei, the last emperor of the Northern Qi dynasty, made his favorite concubine, Feng Xiaolian, lie naked on the imperial desk in the court, forcing ministers to pay money to watch.

Originally, this was just an absurd act by a ridiculous emperor. Who would have thought that hundreds of years later, Li Shangyin would write two lines of scornful verse, "Little Lian's jade body lies prone at night, already reporting that the Zhou army has entered Jinyang," and this person would be forever nailed to the pillar of shame.

It even contributed an idiom – "jade body lying horizontally".

As a result, Shen Can's fans have also come up with a new term: "Kunma Xianyan," which means "to make a fool of oneself."

However, currently, only Shen Can can play this style of play.

Even if people in the entertainment industry were to write novels like Shen Can—the question is, given the average junior high school education level in the entertainment industry, do they have the talent to write a novel? And if they do, will it become a hit? These are all unknowns.

Shen Can's strength is multifaceted.

His playing style is not something everyone can learn.

Huang Ling thought for a moment, typed something on the computer, and then went to Yang Kun's blog.

The blog's comment section was filled with comments like "Kunma has made a fool of himself".

Faced with the backlash from Shen Can's fans, Yang Kun chose to play dead, but he didn't delete his blog. It's unclear what his feelings are at that moment.

Huang Ling thought that this guy probably posted the blog after drinking. He knew Shen Can was not someone to mess with, so why did he provoke him?

But it seems I can understand it.

Aside from top music creators like Jay Chou, JJ Lin, Jonathan Lee, and Lo Ta-yu, who in the music industry wouldn't be envious of Shen Can's musical talent?

In her industry group, some people were extremely envious and jealous.

Within two months, every song they released became a hit, propelling them to the top tier in an era of fierce competition, accomplishing in a few years, or even a lifetime, what others couldn't achieve.

In reality, Shen Can's own life is like a wish-fulfillment novel.

It's no wonder that people envy, are jealous of, and hate this kind of life.

Yang Kun was simply having a meltdown and venting his feelings.

"He only has one or two representative works after all these years, while Shen Can has almost 10. It's really heartbreaking."

Huang Ling suddenly felt sorry for Yang Kun.

But sometimes, musical geniuses are just that unconventional.

Common sense is always meant to be broken in their culture.

Then, Huang Ling remembered the plot of the novel and saw an opportunity in it.

"Novels can be used for revenge, or they can be used to elevate someone."

"Shen Xiaoli and An Feng—the mother and daughter duo are already well-known enough that they don't need Shen Can to promote them. But what if it were other minor celebrities? Or even newcomers who have just debuted? And Shen Can even arranged a lot of plot for them in the novel."

It's likely that countless people in the industry would flock to it, some even willing to pay with their bodies.

"Anything Shen Can does could be a life-changing opportunity for someone else," Huang Ling said softly.

She thought of the female lead in the "Underwater" music video. As the music video was released, some of her personal information spread rapidly online, such as her name, the university she attended, her height, and so on. She even had her own online forum.

Of course, the title "Chan Girl" also fell to her.

While Shen Can's music videos may not have the same promotional effect as hit TV dramas, they are still better than many flop dramas.

Zhao Ji is the second "Girl in the Show," and some netizens who like to engage in abstract discussions are already debating who is Shen Can's "Eastern Palace Consort" and who is his "Western Palace Consort," between her and Wan Qian.

Huang Ling had a vague feeling that neither of these were likely the case.

"If I were Shen Can, I'd definitely want either Yuanyuan or Tianxian."

Beijing.

Liu Yifei sat in a chair, her snow-white feet crossed, slippers hanging on her feet—enjoying breakfast.

There's still a while before Shen Can's new song is released, let's eat breakfast first.

Liu Yifei sipped her milk with a spoon, her mind wandering back to the novel review, her eyes constantly glancing at Liu Xiaoli.

Netizens are asking about the size of her psychological trauma; let's just say it, the psychological trauma has taken up her entire heart.

"Xixi, what's wrong? Is my face not clean?" Liu Xiaoli noticed Liu Yifei's unusual behavior.

Liu Yifei bit her spoon in silence. After thinking for a moment, she finally decided not to hide it and said in a soft, gentle voice, "Mom—Shen Can wrote you into his novel."

"Huh?" Liu Xiaoli blinked, paused for a moment, and asked in surprise, "What is he saying about me now?"

"He didn't make any fuss about you. In the book, he created a new character named Shen Xiaoli, and said that this character is very beautiful and good at dancing. Shen Xiaoli also has a daughter named An Feng."

Liu Xiaoli: "————"

Her lips twitched slightly—speechless, frustrated, and helpless.

It feels so crazy.

Shen Can was no longer satisfied with just writing gossip posts online; he simply wrote about himself and his daughter in his book.

Honestly, I can understand Shen Can's feelings for his daughter, after all, Qianqian is a great beauty. But as a person, you can't think about both your daughter and your mother at the same time, can you?

Xiao died.

Admittedly, I am still very pretty, but—is that right?

"This guy—" Liu Xiaoli wanted to complain, but then she suddenly remembered her deep conversation with Shen Can on the phone. Thinking about leaving a way out for her daughter, she said, "Let him be, as long as he doesn't write nonsense."

"I'm afraid he'll write something wrong." Liu Yifei said with concern.

In reality, Shen Can could only confess his feelings to the mother and daughter, but it's hard to say in the novel.

How the plot unfolds depends entirely on Shen Can's mood; he can write it however he wants.

Liu Yifei remembered the book review about her and her mother that she had just seen on the Dianniang website.

"Brother Can, I've never begged anyone in my life, but I'm begging you, please let the protagonist take Sister Li as his wife. I like married women."

"Isn't the point of reading novels to have fun? If you don't accept it, I'll unsubscribe immediately."

"Damn, I used to be a staunch supporter of a single female protagonist, but now that I've seen the celestial mother and daughter appear, my heart is wavering wildly. It's not so bad for the protagonist to have a harem."

"Please, please let me play the stock market in my novel. I want to buy the celestial stock."

"Could you write some sex scenes between the main character and Sister Li? I really want to see them, preferably the kind where they're having an affair behind their daughter's back."

"Give me the pen, I'll write it; I want both mother and daughter."

"Mom is getting old, Miss An is young and beautiful, isn't she more appealing?"

"This is the first time I've supported the protagonist starting a harem. I hope he can also take in his little apprentice Xu Mingyue and director Xue Ning. These two characters are really well-developed."

"Shen Can, you've created so many outstanding female characters, wouldn't it be fair to the protagonist if you didn't include them all? Anyway, you're a scumbag in real life, so I don't mind if the protagonist is a scumbag too."

These book reviews look terrifying.

But Shen Can is a bit of a show-off, so who knows, he might actually do it.

Liu Yizhong suspected that this person really wanted to be his father.

In reality, he couldn't do it, but in the novel, Shen Can could do it with ease.

He is God.

""

"How about I contact him privately and become friends with him?" Liu Yifei thought to herself, but her face remained expressionless.

Her mother didn't want her to have anything to do with Shen Can, but things couldn't continue like this forever.

To avoid the protagonist in Shen Can's novel from having a harem and taking in Shen Xiaoli and An Feng, the only way is to have a heart-to-heart talk with Shen Can.

Although Shen Can's behavior suggests he's not someone easily "made close friends," look at how he treats Gao Yuanyuan—

Since Gao Yuanyuan became his friend, Shen Can has been much gentler towards her in gossip posts.

This shows that Shen Can is a good friend.

The key is to become his friend.

"Give it a try." Liu Yifei lowered her head and took a sip of milk, her mind in turmoil, like sand being blown around by the wind outside the window.

In the blink of an eye, it was 9:00 AM on November 26th.

Shen Can's new song "The Ordinary Road" has been officially released, along with its music video.

As Shen Can had planned, the music video opens with a scene of a car driving on a rural road, followed by Shen Can hiking up a mountain. The mountain isn't famous, just an ordinary hill. He walks all the way to the top, accompanied by the lyrics, "Keep going forward, just keep going."

The song's final climax features footage of Shen Can at a commercial performance, with a focus on the audience clenching their fists and waving.

The entire music video appears to be divided into three parts, but they are actually all based on the same theme: "Walking on the road with a sense of relief, and writing a good story."

The message conveyed is that "it is no longer about compromise, but about the courage to still love life after recognizing its true nature."

"

Upon its release, "The Ordinary Road" saw its viewership, downloads, and other metrics skyrocket.

The comments and feedback from the audience yesterday were essentially a form of scarcity marketing for Shen Can, making people eager to participate.

Having finally waited for its release, it's naturally hard to bear.

This song can teach the music industry another lesson.

Folk music combined with rock is a relatively new genre.

Teacher Shen Can is teaching again!

Many musicians begin to study the songs seriously as soon as they are released.

You guys are just listening to music, we're striving to improve! We really want to improve!

Some music critics also gave it high praise.

"It has a very high artistic value. How high? As high as a five-story building."

"Is rock music just screaming at the top of your lungs? Shen Can's answer is that it's a unique blend of folk and rock, deeply resonating with people!"

"This musical genius is a rising star in the Chinese music scene."

"A masterpiece needs no further explanation."

These music reviews made Yang Kun's blog even more lively. It would be one thing if Shen Can's songs were bad, but their quality was so good that it was hard to find fault with them.

""

Therefore, the audience at the scene has good ears and their aesthetic appreciation of the songs is on point, so what's wrong with praising them in advance?

For a time, Yang Kun's blog was filled with comments such as "Anything produced by Shen Can is bound to be a masterpiece", "The music industry is ruined by people like you. Stop playing the bullying game", "The masses like it, who do you think you are?" and "The future of the music industry? You're just jealous."

Some of Shen Can's fans, such as wealthy female bosses or heiresses, have begun to consider whether to find an excuse, such as a company annual meeting or a birthday party, to invite Shen Can to sing live.

They longed for this scene so much that they felt they could spend money to support their idols.

What's so great about you going to Shen Can's commercial performance to listen to his songs? Is it something to be proud of?

Are you so awesome that you can outdo me by spending money to chase after celebrities and get up close and personal with them?

The thought of these things makes rich women and heiresses tremble with excitement!

Meanwhile, Yang Aoxue, the director of a song program at Shanghai's Dragon TV, listened to the entire song immediately.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly what I want—the kind of song that can shock people and make their whole body explode when sung!" Yang Aoxue's eyes gleamed.

She became increasingly convinced that adding an extra song for Shen Can was a very wise decision.

Hiring a Korean star costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the viewership ratings might not be as high as those of Shen Can.

This little brother always brings surprises!

At the same time, she secretly regretted it and cursed herself for being foolish.

"If I had known you had so many songs that could cause a sensation online, why did I insist on choosing a Chinese-style song in the first place?"

Shen Can said that the Chinese-style song called "Fireworks Fade Easily" is ready and she can't change it at the last minute.

In other words, besides that Chinese-style song, she could only choose one of Shen Can's other songs.

Yang Aoxue was in a dilemma. She really wanted to present the song "The Ordinary Road" on the Spring Festival Gala stage, but who knew what other amazing songs Shen Can had up his sleeve?

This guy is a bomb maniac, constantly dropping bombs into the music scene.

Choosing Shen Can's songs inexplicably gave her the feeling that she herself was fickle in love.

For example, one second she might fall in love with a gentle, petite, and adorable younger sister, but the next second she might fall for a mature, older sister with an impressive bust and long, fair legs.

"I'm such a jerk," Yang Aoxue said, licking her dry lips.

But Shen Can's songs were the one that made her unable to settle down.
