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

As night falls, the lights are on.

Xingcheng Internet Cafe was bustling with activity.

To avoid being recognized and being exposed to secondhand smoke, Wan Qian simply booked a private room.

At this moment.

Wan Qian typed rapidly on the keyboard.

Shen Can turned his head and glanced at the screen. Wan Qian's character was fighting a rogue player in a duel, which is a PK (player versus player) match.

It's clear that the thief player has excellent skills and awareness; Wan Qian is already at a disadvantage.

Shen Can glanced at it and then stopped paying attention.

He also had his own things to do—writing novels.

The novel hasn't been updated yet.

It's worth mentioning that in Chapter 51 of "The All-Round Artist" updated yesterday, he used a female character to incorporate the song "Ten Thousand Words" from Wan Qian's album "Universal Gravitation" into the novel.

Not only that, at the end of this chapter, Shen Can played a trick by ending the chapter abruptly.

He revealed the song title, "Once Upon a Time".

Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, the Big Bad Wolf, Peter Pan… these are all characters from fairy tales on Earth. Although I've never heard their stories, this song, "Fairy Tale Town," is truly beautiful. It gives me a feeling of innocent childhood—wonderful, warm, and seemingly capable of healing the soul.

This is the last sentence of Chapter 51 of the novel.

After glancing at it, Shen Can entered the novel's review section. Unsurprisingly, there were countless comments urging for more updates.

In addition, there are many other comments, such as suggestions and thoughts.

"I'm very satisfied with your novel, Can Shen, but your update speed is too slow. Can you learn from Tang San? He updates 8,000 words a day!"

"Which song from Wan Qian's album is 'A Thousand Words'?"

"So, this is the shady deal you made with her? You wrote her song into your novel, and she agreed to film a kissing scene with you? Can I do that next time?"

Shen Can frowned.

He revealed his kissing scene with Wan Qian so quickly?

Or is the person who posted this comment actually a student at the Shanghai Theatre Academy?

Shen Can glanced at the user's nickname, "When the Swallows Return".

He didn't know them, so he stopped thinking about it.

Who cares who it is?

Next comment.

"I suggest you sit down and write all the songs by Jay Chou, JJ Lin, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Faye Wong, and others into a novel, then use your songs to pit them against each other, and show them what true music kings are!"

Shen Can smiled.

Just a few dishes, and he's this drunk!

Fight them all? Are you trying to make Huo Yuanjia claim the title of "Number One in Tianjin"?

It seems like they're "beating everyone up," but in reality, they're "asking their brother to his death."

In fact, Shen Can is capable of doing this kind of thing, and it's quite fun and suits his taste, but the key point is that the risks and rewards are not proportional.

How many fans does he have now? And how many fans do these superstars have?

This isn't an advantage for me; it's an advantage I have absolutely no advantage at all.

We won't do anything that puts us at a disadvantage.

The comments section also features many book reviews of "Once Upon a Time," with fans expressing their anticipation.

The novel's protagonist may not know Snow White, Peter Pan, Little Red Riding Hood, the Big Bad Wolf, Cinderella... but readers of "The All-Round Artist" do, as these are all fairy tales they read as children.

If you put them into a song, what would that song be like?

Of course, to avoid "Once Upon a Time" becoming a tainted story for "The All-Round Artist," Shen Can decided to include a collection of fairy tales as a reward for the protagonist in the future.

The protagonist can become the "King of Fairy Tales" by writing fairy tales.

In this way, "Once Upon a Time" becomes a foreshadowing, and the protagonist shows off, bringing more enjoyment to the readers.

However, in reality, Shen Can would not redeem the collection of fairy tales.

"Clap clap..." Shen Can opened the writing page and officially began writing Chapter 52 of his novel.

The plot of this chapter is actually very simple: it's about writing songs.

Write some lyrics, then some lyric analysis, feelings about the song, stage effects, and the reactions of the judges and the audience, and that's it.

To be honest, many entertainment writers find writing song plots very agonizing, feeling completely drained after finishing each song.

On the contrary, those who skirt the edge are almost all experts at it, and there's always someone better than the next mountain.

While thinking to himself, Shen Can's hands moved quickly.

The stage lights turned pale blue, and the cool color scheme created a unique atmosphere.

Lin Yu took the microphone and walked onto the stage.

The words "Fairy Tale Town" appeared on the large screen behind him.

Meanwhile, in the audience, female fan Zhang Yi's chest heaved uncontrollably, her legs were tightly pressed together, and her hand was placed on her best friend's jeans thigh...

Zhang Yi was nervous, nervous for Lin Yu.

While she was in the restroom, she overheard the crew talking about how Lin Yu had rejected the investment... Is investment something to be trifled with?

Tonight's theme is "time". If Lin Yu doesn't perform well or his song isn't good, he will face elimination!

Moreover, Lin Yu's opponents performed exceptionally well today.

"Keep it up, Daddy Fish!" Zhang Yi prayed silently.

"Fish Daddy" is what Lin Yu's fans call him. It doesn't mean he's overly fatherly or old, but rather that he's incredibly talented at songwriting, composing, and singing; his rivals would have to kneel down and call him "Daddy."

Immediately afterwards, Shen Can began to write "Fairy Tale Town" in detail.

In my past life, the most popular versions of this song were two: one was the original version sung by An Gang, and the other was "That Woman".

Both versions have their merits, and it's impossible to say which one is better.

The hidden version is the original and most profound expression of the song's meaning.

The version of "That Woman" is... very charming, especially her chant at the end of the song.

This song has become popular again and again, probably because people who listen to it can always recall the good old days, like that summer of that year.

An hour later, Shen Can finished writing this chapter and immediately updated the novel.

Readers seemed to be right there in his book; the book review section was buzzing shortly after it was released.

"First!"

"This is 'Once Upon a Time'? Wait a minute, didn't the protagonist say in the last chapter that this song was very healing? The more I look at the lyrics, the more something seems off?"

"Little Red has a bright red robe to suppress her transformation into a wolf? And her red shoes are constantly dancing? Shen Can, were the fairy tales you read when you were little different from ours?"

"I'm really looking forward to it! I really want to hear the song!" - From "After the Snow".

"Junior, I absolutely have to appear in your 'Once Upon a Time' music video. I'll fund it for you, all I want is a chance to be on screen."

That's the tone of a spoiled rich girl!

Shen Can stared at the username that posted the comment—"When the Swallow Returns"—and suddenly thought of a senior student, his heart skipped a beat.

Rich, Swallow, a student at the Shanghai Theatre Academy...

Could it be that woman?

In her past life, every time she posted a short video, there would always be a comment like this in the comments section: "I still can't forgive that matchmaker."

If it were her.

I'm someone I know quite well.

Wan Qian paused her game and turned to see Shen Can staring blankly at the book review.

She leaned closer for a look and said with a smile:

"Tsk tsk tsk, another rich female senior has your eye on you? It's a shame you're not a male model." Wan Qian sighed.

"And what about you?" Shen Can raised an eyebrow.

"I...I don't care about you at all!" Wan Qian blushed slightly and turned her head to continue playing the game.

But Shen Can noticed that her character seemed to be drunk, fidgeting erratically in all directions...
