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

Shen Can has a habit before he starts writing.

He would glance at the novel's reviews.

The purpose of doing this is twofold: firstly, to adjust the plot appropriately based on reader feedback.

He usually won't change the plot of a novel unless it's heavily criticized by a large number of readers.

Secondly, I sought inspiration from readers' comments.

The readers are all talented, and it must be admitted that some of their suggestions for the plot are very constructive, pointing out things the author hadn't even considered, and some of them are even more exciting than the author's original plot.

A similar situation occurs in chapter descriptions. Some authors write novels with only two or three thousand words in a chapter, but readers often need to spend more than ten minutes, or even half an hour, to finish reading them.

Why?

The reason is simple: the commentary is simply brilliant.

For example, passages where the author "drives," sentences describing beautiful women, scenes of the protagonist showing off, and the novel's setting can all spark readers' interest in commenting.

Some novels are so complex that readers need to read excerpts and commentaries to understand them.

Of course, in this era, the rating function has not yet been launched.

Five minutes later, Shen Can quickly browsed the book review section of "The All-Round Artist". Unfortunately, he did not see any constructive comments, but it was not a complete loss.

The overwhelming response in the comments section exceeded his expectations.

This means that even though the novel is not yet under contract, it has already gained some popularity.

Although all the new comments came from students at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, it's always a good thing that popularity has increased.

Moreover, one comment among these comments was particularly noteworthy.

Reader ID "诺神514": "Hi junior, after listening to 'Rice Fragrance,' I was blown away. When I have some free time in a while, I'll come to the school to see you, and we can get to know each other. I hope we can collaborate when I'm producing my next album. Um... you can guess who I am, but I doubt you'll be able to guess, I'm not famous."

"Is that even a question?" Shen Can smiled slightly.

The answer is already written in the riddle itself.

"Next album" indicates that this reader has previously released an album.

"Junior" indicates that he is an upperclassman or upperclasswoman.

The words "Noshen" in the ID reminded Shen Can of a female celebrity who loved playing games. She graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and her birthday seemed to be in May.

"Wan Qian".

Shen Can opened a webpage, searched for her personal information, and confirmed his guess.

Wan Qian is the kind of person who achieves success later in life.

She debuted in 2002, and in 2005 she encountered the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry while filming a TV series, but she did not give in and turned to acting in stage plays. In 2007, she released the album "Universal Gravitation," a gamble she poured her heart and soul into, with her company also investing heavily in its production. Unfortunately, it only sold 20,000 to 30,000 copies, resulting in a complete financial loss.

It wasn't until 12, when she played the lead role in the film "Liu Ru Shi," that she gradually recovered.

"She wants to release another album? That's unlikely." Shen Can sighed, pulling himself out of his thoughts.

If I remember correctly, Wan Qian's company, Star Shore Music, gradually gave up on her and never produced an album for her again, so Wan Qian had to return to the film and television industry.

In those years, actors all wanted to become singers, but very few actually succeeded in crossing over.

Shen Can temporarily put Wan Qian's matter out of his mind.

With a slight thought, he brought up the system panel.

He hasn't opened the system for a long time since he almost used up all his popularity points last time.

[Popularity Points: 79055]

Shen Can nodded slightly.

He previously posted a gossip thread about the White Dragon King on Tianya, and with the popularity points he gained from the Goddess's Nest incident, it's not surprising that he has his current number of popularity points.

The next second, Shen Can redeemed the reward: [Master-level Mei School Qingyi Performance Ability].

Thus, the protagonist has now redeemed all the rewards he set for him in the novel for the second time.

A short while later, the sound of keyboard typing could be heard in room 609.

Shen Can continued updating the novel's plot:

Lin Yu and Jiang Wanning arrived at a restaurant by the river called "Youjian".

When he was dating Jiang Wanning, he liked to eat at this restaurant.

The boss is a 180-pound fat man, and also the only chef in the restaurant. Perhaps getting fat is an inescapable fate for every chef.

"Oh, it's you guys! Long time no see, rare guests," the chubby boss greeted with a smile.

He glanced at Jiang Wanning a few more times, and Lin Yu realized that the boss had already recognized her.

Jiang Wanning understood, and seeing that there were no customers in the store, she simply took off her mask and baseball cap.

The fat boss joked:

"Hey, hey, don't even think about silencing me. I haven't told anyone a single word about you guys."

Jiang Wanning chuckled.

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Make five servings of braised noodles and send them to the usual spot."

The braised noodles at "Youjian" noodle shop are notoriously expensive, costing 30 NTD a bowl, but the taste is undeniably delicious.

Lin Yu is frugal; 30 yuan is enough for him to buy groceries and cook for himself for three days. However, since Jiang Wanning said she would treat him today, he didn't stand on ceremony and ordered four dishes.

Two portions were eaten, two were packed up, and one was left for Jiang Wanning.

Shen Can took a sip of water. When he writes novels, he likes to add some everyday scenes to make the protagonist more relatable, thereby increasing the reader's sense of immersion.

This scene is actually setting the stage for the protagonist singing a love song in the future.

That song lacked emotional depth; it didn't feel right when sung.

The two sat down by the window, where a wide river flowed eastward toward the sea.

"Starting from the seventh episode of 'I Am a Singer,' team competitions will be held," Jiang Wanning said, looking at Jiang Jing. "During this period, you will have approximately two months to prepare."

"Mm." Lin Yu nodded.

Then came... a long silence.

After a long while, Jiang Wanning couldn't help but stare at Lin Yu and ask:

Do you have a girlfriend now?

"Do you want me to have it or not?" Lin Yu asked rhetorically.

Jiang Wanning was speechless, and there was another silence of more than ten seconds.

Lin Yu asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No!" Jiang Wanning replied instantly.

Doesn't that bring out the sweet feeling?

In a previous life, a picture would soon appear in the comments: one body bag surrounded by penguins; another body bag with a polar bear in the distance.

In the following chapters of the novel, Shen Can continued to write about some everyday moments in their relationship.

Soon, the two chapters were finished.

Since the protagonist had already redeemed all the rewards in his own system, at the end of the second chapter, Shen Can used the excuse that the protagonist had completed the system task to let the protagonist open six rewards from the blind box treasure chest.

The songs are "Fairy Tale Town", "The Ordinary Road", "Under the Sea", and "What's Wrong".

"What's Wrong?" is the super sweet song that Shen Can arranged for the main character.

—First exploit Jay Chou, then exploit Xu Sangao.

Interestingly, this song contains the word "GG" (a vulgar expression), which can be used with slight modifications.

The fifth reward is [Master-level violin playing ability], which is professional level, but Shen Can no longer finds it appealing.

The sixth prize is a campus romance novel, and its name is... Love O2O.
