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

In the following chapters of the novel, Shen Can begins to lay the groundwork for the ninth episode of "I Am a Singer".

In fact, the contestants on the show "I Am a Singer" remained quite low-key even after defeating Lin Yu.

Especially Cao Kun, who came in first place in this episode.

When he first joined the show, he was incredibly arrogant, but now he has toned down his arrogance.

Although the capital and the production team launched an offensive against Lin Yu, he is not stupid. He knows very well who has the most audience appeal and the most strength... Lin Yu has not been eliminated yet.

If he gets arrogant and spouts nonsense at Lin Yu, and Lin Yu turns the tables, who knows how badly he'll be criticized.

Moreover, many people online are now calling Lin Yu "Daddy Qu".

This is the highest honor in the world of composition. Only composers who have a large number of hit works are qualified to be called "composer dad".

Important note: Large quantities! Bestseller!

Although Lin Yu is still far from meeting the requirements to become a "music father", all five of his released songs have been hits, indicating that he has already embarked on the path to becoming a music father.

If Lin Yu becomes the "Fish Father", wouldn't I become a laughing stock?

I, Cao Kun, may seem brainless, but I'm actually very smart. I'm not stupid, really.

"It's a pity that the 'Ghost Girl' of this era doesn't have paragraph comments. If it did, there would definitely be reader comments on this last sentence."

Shen Can stretched his wrists, thinking to himself out of boredom.

Speaking of which, he misses those high-tech things from his previous life.

High refresh rates on mobile phones, short video apps, Doubao (a type of online shopping platform), and even bullet comments on various video websites.

Keep in mind that Bilibili didn't even exist at that time. The earliest bullet screen website in China was AcFun, but AcFun didn't launch the bullet screen function until 2008.

"Um?"

Shen Can's eyes lit up.

This reminded him.

In the future, when he has funds, he can actually start a business, recruit staff, and create Bilibili ahead of time.

Using the bullet screen feature should be able to capture a share of the market.

I don't actually need to grow the website to be huge; I just need to keep the website running and build up my technical reserves for future expansion into the short video field.

It's common knowledge that long-form video websites don't make money, but short-form videos... well, let's just say that Zhang Yiming became the richest man in just 12 years.

Shen Can found it very tempting.

It could replace it!

If he can go from being a singer to becoming the richest man, what do those Beijing circles, Hong Kong circles, and capital groups matter?

However, that's a matter for the future; for now, it's just a thought.

"Focus on writing."

Shen Can put aside his distractions and continued writing his novel.

The pace of the plot then quickens.

The protagonist returned to the show to participate in the recording of the ninth episode. By then, he had become a popular children's author and a well-known musician.

There are not many people in China who don't know how talented he is.

But novels need conflict to be exciting.

Therefore, the brainless villain emerged. He was still a senior executive at Capital Starry Sky Entertainment, but at a higher level than the previous one. This time, the villain was the company's vice president.

He first offered a 30/70 split to entice the lead actor to sign him.

After the protagonist refused, he bared his fangs, saying that even if it meant ruining the show "I Am a Singer," he would still eliminate the protagonist.

The protagonist replied, "I don't care. I came here just to get an answer from my fans, not to put up with your bad temper."

While the protagonist was speaking, a voice recorder lay quietly in his pocket.

Following that, Shen Can spent another hour building up various emotions, finally propelling the plot to the point where the main character went on stage to perform.

Lin Yu slowly walked from backstage to the stage, step by step.

When the audience saw him appear, they erupted in deafening screams and cheers, so loud it seemed to shatter the ceiling and soar to the heavens!

Lin Yu is not a king, but he has become king in all but name, an uncrowned king.

Few noticed that on the judges' panel, diva Jiang Wanning had tears in her eyes and anger burning in her heart!

She felt sorry for Lin Yu!

The reason why "I Am a Singer" is so popular today is largely because of Lin Yu, a newcomer to the music scene who has stirred up a new storm. But now, the production team is going to discard him after he's done with him.

Meanwhile, backstage, the show's director, Lin Jing, a woman known as "Sister Run," was also clenching her fists, suppressing her anger.

Someone is trying to ruin her masterpiece.

On stage, Lin Yu was naturally unaware of the crowd's reactions.

He sat on a high stool, bathed in white light.

lonely.

resignedly.

He remained calm.

"Today's song for you is... 'Sorrow'."

As is customary, Shen Can simply wrote down the lyrics, and for the specific stage effects, he referenced Mao Buyi's performance on "The Coming One".

To be fair, Mao Buyi's live version of "Sorrow" is better than the recorded version, and it's easier for people to resonate with it.

When the main performer finished singing, the entire audience erupted in cheers.

In order to protect the lead actor, director Lin Jing even directly threatened the judges.

"If anyone destroys Lin Yu, then... let's all perish together."

The protagonist is tough, but she is also good at being tolerant; she is determined to protect the protagonist.

Ultimately, with the director and Jiang Wanning's strong support, the protagonist stayed on stage and regained first place.

After the show aired, some insider information from the production team circulated online.

"This summer, talent triumphs over capital" has begun to spread across the internet!

The main character became even more popular.

At the end of this part of the novel's plot, Shen Can plans to give the protagonist a bonus, namely a system task gift pack.

The protagonist becomes a renowned fairy tale writer and then fights against all odds in the show, turning adversity into victory. The reward should definitely be more generous... which is quite reasonable.

"Congratulations on winning the song 'Big Fish'."

"Congratulations on winning the song 'Horse-Herding City'."

Shen Canxian wrote two songs as a reward.

Among them, "Big Fish" corresponds to the theme of "growth" in the concept album, while "Horse Herding City" corresponds to the theme of "failure".

Actually, "City of Horse Herding" could also correspond to "growth", but the lyrics such as "I missed the girl I loved" and "My suitcase can't hold the faraway places I want to go" make Shen Can feel that "failure" is more appropriate.

The theme of "failure" follows "heartbreak," and the album's title track, "The Ordinary Road," evokes the feeling of driving towards a distant place, thus creating a connection between the two themes.

After a breakup and losing your lover, you go from wanting to travel far away to seeing through everything and then taking action.

The song "Big Fish" brings out Shen Can's ethereal voice to its fullest potential.

At this point, all the songs for Shen Can's first album, "The Ordinary Road," were ready.

Childhood: Fairy Tale Town; Graduation: The Wind Rises; Growing Up: Big Fish; Heart Fluttering: Orchid Pavilion Preface; Confessing Love: Why Not?; Heartbreak: If the Moon Hasn't Come Yet; Pursuing Dreams: The Brightest Star in the Night Sky; Failure: Horse Herding City; Confusion: A Person Like Me; Falling into Darkness: The Sea; Self-Consolation: Sorrow Relief; Seeing Through Life: The Ordinary Road; Redeeming Others: Rice Fragrance.

There are thirteen songs in total.

We just need to wait until they're all blown out.

This is also the source of Shen Can's confidence.

Explosion-proof?

What a load of rubbish.
