Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

Chapter 289 He wouldn't take leave at this time, would he?
"Call me more often."

"understood."

"Remember to share any interesting things that happen on set with me..."

Yu Wei stood at the door with his suitcase. Upon hearing this, he reached out and tucked a few unruly strands of hair behind Qi Luo'an's ear before gently rubbing her head with his palm.

"Don't worry, just take good care of the house."

Yu Wei left before their recorded song was even released, which was definitely not a good thing for Qi Luo'an, as she wanted to listen to it with Yu Wei...

However, with work at hand, Yu Wei, as the lead actor, definitely has to stay with the crew. Would delaying the filming be considered acting like a diva?
"I'll come as soon as I finish my exams."

Watching Yu Wei's figure disappear into the corridor, Qi Luo'an sighed. Due to her status, she couldn't even go to the airport to see him off, otherwise she would be surrounded in no time.

Old Qi is really something. Couldn't he have given them two more days? She even suspects that this was a trip Old Qi deliberately arranged to let the two of them cool off for a while.

The old father's clever idea...

Stroking his hair, which Yu Wei had ruffled, Qi Luoan returned to his room, looking lost and forlorn.

Hopefully, Yu Wei won't be dragged off to fishing every day by Lao Qi.

……

"The king of heaven overshadows the tigers of earth."

As soon as Yu Wei arrived at the airport, a goofy guy wearing sunglasses and a hoodie suddenly jumped out to greet him; it was Zhang Lingye.

"The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother."

The filming crew doesn't have a set itinerary, they only reimburse expenses. Yu Wei bought his own ticket, and the others bought tickets together for easier communication.

Including Zhang Lingye, Qi Yuan, Fei Hong, and Su Jian also accompanied them, forming a five-person boy team.

It's actually quite suitable for playing games together in an internet cafe...

To avoid causing a disturbance, they didn't huddle together directly, but at Zhang Lingye's prompting, Yu Wei still spotted the figures of several people and took his seat one by one.

All of them are experienced celebrities, so naturally they wouldn't be careless about travel, and each one of them was bundled up tightly.

The most outrageous one was Qi Yuan. Perhaps the last time he was blocked at the airport left him with a trauma, because this time he even came wearing a wig, mainly for the purpose of disguise and infiltration.

The five of them didn't meet until they boarded the plane, and they looked at each other with mysterious smiles in their eyes.

When guys meet, they laugh for ages after a simple "oi," and they don't care what they talk about or what the plans are; they just laugh first.

"Yu Wei, tell me the truth, what are my chances of winning this match today?"

The competition is estimated to start in the afternoon or even evening. The tuning process for "Lovers in the World" is a bit complicated, and it can't be played yet.

This song is very difficult to tune, especially the chorus part, which is difficult to tune in itself, plus there is a slight slur.

Xiao Shen's voice is something that others may not know, but Yu Wei does. Although some people don't like it, there's no denying that his voice is truly unique.

Few can imitate his voice, so the difficulty of using AI to help recreate it is unimaginable.

Yu Wei didn't ask for much; he was happy with a score of 60-70%, and his singing skills were always steady and impressive.

"Uh, it's not about the odds of winning..."

These words were quite insightful. Zhang Lingye and Qi Yuan exchanged a glance. It was either a matter of chance or no chance of winning; this was a direct judgment that Fei Hong was destined to lose.

As expected, Yu Wei and his group of natives were frighteningly strong. Both of them, musicians, were beaten black and blue. It was no wonder that Fei Hong, an actor, could win.

"alright, I got it."

Fei Hong understood Yu Wei's unspoken meaning. In fact, he also knew that he had little chance of winning, but was just hoping that there was a loophole in the indigenous technology.

Yu Wei's words clearly indicated that there was nothing wrong with the song's presentation, so they were destined to lose.

The first three groups of competitions were all the same: the number one contestant was a local singer, and the two contestants selected from real people were chosen to advance.

Fei Hong's popularity is far inferior to Zhou Mumu's, and given the current situation, he will most likely be eliminated in this round...

There's nothing to regret. He knows his strength is limited, but he feels somewhat helpless that he couldn't stay with Mumu.

The two, a couple, had to step on each other to advance; this grouping was rather perverse, no wonder it was called the "Mandarin Duck Group."

"I have to say a few words to you about this."

Zhang Lingye, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke up to advise, "If you two are grouped with someone else, you might both have to go home empty-handed. Be grateful if one of you can advance."

The words may be crude, but the principle is sound. Fei Hong and Zhou Mumu are both laymen. Which of the remaining people in the third round is not better than them?

Making it to the next round is already a great achievement; there's nothing to be sad about.

Fei Hong was taken aback when he heard this, and felt that Zhang Lingye's words made a lot of sense. Yu Wei's grouping seemed like a bad idea, but in fact it was to make them fight among themselves to secure a spot in the top 16.

This isn't targeting them; it's the best arrangement they could possibly receive.

"Thank you, Brother Yu."

Thinking about this, Fei Hong suddenly realized that sacrificing himself to help Mu Mu take a step further might not be such a bad thing.

"No, no, no, it's fine if they call me that, but you're obviously older than me."

Fei Hong is not only the oldest in the group of five, but also the one who looks the oldest. Even the kids have to call him "uncle" when they meet him.

Although it's common for guys to call someone "brother," you can't just call them that randomly. He's always treated Zhou Mumu like his sister-in-law, so it would be strange for him to suddenly call her his sister-in-law.
"Let's set the order today, and then we can call each other brothers from now on, how about that?" Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Qi Yuan stepped forward to help Yu Wei recruit more people. If the relationship based on interests wasn't solid, then it was necessary to have some emotional foundation among his own people to get things done.

From now on, Yu Wei will be the lord, and he will be both a prince and the emperor's brother-in-law. Who would dare to disobey him?
"You just want to die on the same day, in the same month, in the same year, right?"

Yu Wei didn't expect him to be so childish. Brothers forming a sworn brotherhood to celebrate a grand occasion, even if it's just a formality, it's certainly possible to arrange them in order for easier address.

"I wouldn't dare. You're such a pervert, you might get jealous of talented people one day, and I don't want to die young with you."

Zhang Lingye couldn't resist teasing Yu Wei, then added, "No matter what number you guys are, I want to be number three, Zhang San."

This surname is practically made for him to be the third child; he's more than qualified!
"You're already the third child, how can I not be the second?"

Qi Yuan was about to compete for the second place and surpass Zhang Lingye, but then he felt something was wrong. Yu Wei had just told Fei Hong not to call him "brother," which clearly meant he didn't want to be the boss.

If I were to become the second-in-command, wouldn't I be a head above the lord? That wouldn't do.

"I'll stay fourth. Fei Hong is the eldest, Yu Wei is the second, and Su Jian will have to make do as the fifth."

Su Jian nodded upon hearing this. He liked being the younger brother, where he didn't have to take the blame or be responsible, and he could still be carried along. Being the younger brother was pretty good.

Although Fei Hong is the eldest brother, on the surface they still listen to the second brother, Yu Weicai is the real person in charge.

"This... will be fine too..."

Fei Hong was somewhat flattered. He was an honest man. Since they called him brother, he couldn't let them down. He would take care of any dirty or tiring work in the future.
"Hey bro, can you introduce me to a girlfriend?"

Seeing that the others had started to chatter, Yu Wei stopped paying attention and began to type away on the plane. There was no other reason than that he was used to it.

Without Qi Luoan by his side, Yu Wei felt less motivated to write, and his efficiency was much slower than usual. He only managed to write a small part of the chapter along the way.

After the plane landed, Yu Wei and the others went to their lodgings. He didn't dare to delay and quickly started writing after letting Qi Luoan know that he was safe.

Readers have been urging for more updates, and the newcomers who were drawn in the day before yesterday are all eagerly awaiting the new song for the third round of the competition.

The first two matches had already started by this time, but there was still no update this time. Nobody knew what was going on. Yu Wei, that guy, really kept everyone waiting.

"He wouldn't take leave at this time, would he..."

"Is the key plot of the match interrupted? Has Yu Wei become arrogant, or have we lost our edge?"

"Yu Wei was invoking the gods. The first two times, Zhou Mulun and Xu Gao responded quickly, but General Ke responded slowly."

The situation was indeed quite similar. It wasn't until after 7 p.m. that the technical department sent the completed video. If this continued, they would have gone bald long ago.

Yu Wei didn't dare to delay. After editing the new chapter, he sent it out along with the bonus chapter.

Qi Yuan and the others, who were having hot pot, all saw the update notification at the same time, and then put down their chopsticks and put on their headphones.

They had originally invited Yu Wei to come along, but Yu Wei was busy writing and couldn't leave, so the four of them had to come together.

"Wow, Zhou Mumu just got over 600 votes, is she even going to stop acting?"

The novel was only updated less than a minute ago. Let alone listening to the songs, they probably haven't even seen the bonus chapters yet. It's obvious that the people voting at this time are bots.

Zhou Mumu's fans are very greedy. They not only want to advance, but also want to take first place directly. If others can't do it, they might as well be able to.

The three of them formed a group, which was a perfect opportunity to suppress Fei Hong and Yu Weiyi at the same time, fulfilling both of their wishes at once.

"So punctual, it seems I've set up automatic update reminders."

Zhang Lingye grinned mischievously. These haters were even more diligent in following the updates than true fans in order to vote for their idol. It was hilarious to think about.

Yu Wei's book is truly amazing; it satisfies fans while simultaneously disgusting haters, something others can't even attempt to emulate.

Not only did they set up update reminders, but Zhou Mumu's fans were also staking out the area, with people monitoring fan groups and supertopics, all in an effort to gain an advantage once the voting started.

After they finished voting, they clicked on Zhou Mumu's entry, and they were dumbfounded when they saw the song title, "Beautiful Myth". Why would she sing this?
By singing this song, Mu Mu is essentially acknowledging her relationship with Fei Hong and the film.

They felt like they'd been given a big gulp, and after struggling to control their emotions, they continued listening, only to find that the male voice in the song sounded somewhat familiar.

Isn't that the scoundrel?

Zhou Mumu's fans were furious when they realized this. After all that time they spent waiting and voting for the song, Fei Hong was involved?

Besides anger, they were mostly saddened. Mumu was determined to go against her fans, and this feeling of being out of control was extremely painful for them.

After discovering that Fei Hong and Zhou Mumu's competition pieces were exactly the same, netizens started fanning the flames again, wishing them a long and happy marriage.

These comments seemed to blind them, and even the usually organized and disciplined fan groups broke down on the spot and started tearing each other apart.

Fans attacking passersby is very damaging to their public image. This time, they're really desperate and don't care about the consequences.

Netizens were too lazy to argue with them. Everyone was there to listen to the music. There was no need to say anything to these obsessed fans; just saying "Hongmu99" would make them explode.

The four of them had a great time watching the spectacle, and only then did they remember to listen to Yu Wei's song.

They clicked on it casually, but their casualness was shattered by the somewhat aloof intro. The melody had an ancient feel to it, but it was not simply a retro tune.

Fei Hong involuntarily sat up straight, as if drawn by invisible threads. He wasn't musically inclined, but he found the prelude quite pleasant to listen to.

He was initially worried that Zhou Mumu's fans might retaliate and take the top spot, but after hearing the intro, he felt relieved.

In the third round, Yu Wei showed no mercy and was exceptionally ruthless. Even as his opponent in this round, he had to admit that Yu Wei was impressed.

"My second brother is invincible."
