"Things are getting better; my grandma even listens to your songs on her own initiative."

Previously, Qi Luoan would occasionally recommend a few songs by Yu Wei to his grandmother, mostly retro ones, which were more to the taste of the elderly.

Her grandmother wouldn't give any positive feedback either; when asked, she would just say "okay, okay," a very perfunctory response.

Even for "Rain Butterfly," a song with the same title as hers, her grandmother only praised Qi Luo'an for singing it well, without mentioning the song itself.

She didn't even realize she should recommend "Far Away" to her grandmother, but unexpectedly, her grandmother took the initiative to share her listening experience.

"What did Teacher Ye say?"

Yu Wei hadn't expected this person to listen to this song so intently. Why listen to something so sad? What if it makes someone feel bad...?

"She said it was amazing, a great combination of tradition and modernity, and she really liked it."

Qi Luoan relayed her grandmother's original words, but she only believed half of them. It was true that her grandmother liked the song, but she must have felt sad listening to it.

Older people may not necessarily be happy when they hear cheerful songs, but they will definitely feel sad when they hear melancholy songs, especially since this song is so relatable.

Sending you away from home a thousand miles away, and then waiting for you for a lifetime, isn't that just puncturing the lungs of an old person?
I have no idea how Grandma came across this song. She rarely goes online, so whoever recommended it to her must have had bad intentions...

"If you like it, that's good. I'll sing it to her next time I see her."

"?"

There's no need to maintain such a persona.

Everyone says Yu Wei is ruthless when it comes to attacking veteran artists, and he really is ruthless. Even those who have retreated from the world can still be stabbed in the face.

"You can bully other old men all you want, but don't bully my grandma, or I'll really get angry with you."

Even the gentlest cat has its moments of hissing. Without a doubt, Grandma is Qi Luo'an's trigger point. She can bully Xiao Chen and Lao Qi a little, but Grandma will always be her best grandma.

"Reversing the Heavenly Gang?"

Don't make it sound like you can bully Yu Wei as you please. As Chen Ping's bedmate, Senior Ye must have a few family treasures in his possession.

It's hard to say who's bullying whom. He still has to write books to exchange for them. If someone just throws out ten or eight songs right away, he'll be left helpless.
"Then I'll bully your other grandma."

Qi Luoan was stunned when she saw the message. She didn't have another grandmother... Then she realized that Yu Wei was driving.

Thinking of her reminds me of the academic discussion we had. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and I wonder how she'll bully me when we meet again.

I'm really looking forward to it...

After teasing his girlfriend, Yu Wei felt more motivated to write. With time running out and a heavy workload, he needed to finish writing about the third round of the competition before writing about the fake Spring Festival Gala.

Life is unpredictable, but novel plots really do need logic. The competition isn't even finished yet, so it's impossible to start the next chapter immediately.

The results of the seventh group competition are already clear: the native Fei Ting's "A Thousand Miles Away" won by a large margin, directly setting a new record for the most likes in Yu Weijia's competition.

The second is Jiang Siheng's old song "Rickshaw," which witnesses that era from the perspective of a rickshaw puller and is a masterpiece that closely fits the theme.

Song Wei sang very well, but he's definitely going to be eliminated at the bottom, not because of a difference in ability, but because of a difference in popularity.

To be honest, the difference is also somewhat related to Yu Wei. The three of them were all veterans and had similar popularity when they participated in the competition, but Jiang Siheng played against AI in the second round and won the competition and even chose the song.

After covering the popular songs he chose, Jiang Siheng's popularity skyrocketed, far surpassing Song Wei's.

Yu Wei indirectly caused the match result, and the organizers' manipulation of the match is confirmed...

"What a pity for Senior Song."

Some are eliminated while others advance; that's how the competition works. There's no time to grieve over the elimination of veteran players; the next stage will be the "battle of the titans."

The last group was missing one member, and all of them were heavyweights, including three local singers. Readers have been paying close attention to this competition since the start of the format.

The Indigenous Brawl features three players with increasingly bizarre names, and it's impossible not to be curious; everyone has been eagerly anticipating this exciting event.

Yu Wei was not in a hurry. He first updated the competition results in the first chapter, and then announced the theme of the eighth group competition at the end—history.

We've covered everything from science fiction and mythology to romance, it's time for historical fiction too. "The courtiers face south, the king alone faces north; he will not regret it until the royal court is breached..."

"It's finally been concluded that Yu Wei did indeed choose eight novel themes as his subject matter."

"He loves novels so much, so hurry up and bring out the Indigenous Wars, I can't wait."

"Fast forward to the history circle, the little devil came to vote."

Because it was the last match and there were no real people involved, the netizens' topics were very casual. Yu Wei scrolled through a few posts but didn't find anything interesting, so he started writing the main text of the match.

After all, it was a major battle, so he had to write it carefully.

At the elimination round of "Top Idol," the air seemed to freeze, and every breath was filled with burning anticipation.

After the order was determined by drawing lots, Lin JJ, Wang Er, and Tao Jiji stood in the center of the stage and answered the host's questions about their fate.

"The three of you, in this battle to prove yourselves, which song will you choose as the arrow that strikes the most crucial point of the target?"

Wang Er was the first to take the microphone. He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, and his eyes held a sharp edge that had come from years of experience.

"Music is my dragon scales, my totem. Tonight, I will use my blood to sing our shared soul, 'Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales'."

The sound, though not loud, was like a thunderclap, announcing the arrival of an Eastern epic. As the theme song for the documentary "The Forbidden City," this song uses the 600-year history of the Forbidden City as its narrative core, perfectly fitting the theme. The lyrics, written by Vincent Fang, are imbued with a strong sense of historical vicissitude.

Yu Wei closed his eyes and savored the song for a moment before continuing to write.

Lin JJ revealed his signature dimpled smile, his gentle demeanor revealing an undeniable firmness.

"If my second brother wants to draw a dragon, then I will go back to the heroes. I want to take everyone back to that era of warring drums and horns, to meet that 'I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me' warlord in troubled times. I will sing 'Cao Cao'."

The air of war and battle was palpable in their words.

Finally, the pressure was put on David Tao, who shrugged easily, with that unique American nonchalance and rebelliousness.

"Since you two are both so grand in your vision, I'll have to add a discordant note. I'm going to break some rules and talk about something you might not dare to discuss openly: 'Hating Dream of the Red Chamber,' how about that?"

These words caused an uproar, which was followed by even louder cheers and whistles. This bold deconstruction of the classic was undoubtedly a bomb that detonated tradition.

The song "Cao Cao" needs no introduction. It uses a historical figure as its title and is very popular. It ranks among the top songs of the Three Kingdoms period.

As for "Hating Dream of the Red Chamber," it is more of a subversion of feudal views on love. Tao Zhe does not hate the book, but rather turns the spearhead towards feudal ethics itself.

Deconstructing history is also a part of history.

The chapter title is "The King's Self-Proof," and readers feel incredibly proud when they see the update notification. He's already a king before the battle even starts!
They clicked on the new chapter without hesitation, but the first sentence of the chapter stunned them: "This is not a battlefield for newcomers, but a musical dialogue between three kings."

Do you want to be so exaggerated?
Yu Wei really got carried away writing this chapter. Since there were real singers involved, it wasn't good to brag about it. This chapter is purely fictional for the readers, so he naturally wrote it however he wanted.

"The weirder the name, the higher the stat, right?"

Loyal readers are familiar with Yu Wei's writing style; he has his reasons for daring to write this way.

The last three names are all quite strange, but each one exudes a high level of sophistication, clearly indicating their considerable abilities.

That guy named Wooden Stick earlier went on a killing spree... It's clear that in Yu Wei's novel world, the weirder the name, the higher the stat.

The first song they saw was Wang Er's "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales." The title sounded domineering, and the singer's name was even more extraordinary. True masters all have names like those of ordinary passersby.

"An epic of the East, the expectations are already at the top, there haven't been any decent songs of the same type in recent years."

They could accept the name Wang Er, but the names Lin and Tao were too bizarre. Why was Yu Wei so determined to mess with JJ?

Seeing that JJ Lin's song is titled "Cao Cao," netizens' curiosity was immediately piqued. The Three Kingdoms period is a fascinating and popular historical period, so it seems this song is a must-listen.

"Wei fans are here, let's tear you apart with these nasty words."

"The people upstairs are just Shu fans; true Wei fans all believe in Yu Wei's abilities."

"I'm just a lowly rat from Jiangdong, when will you sing us a song too?"

The comment section exploded even before the song was released, and discussions about the song quickly turned into "debates," which tricked many people into commenting.

While watching the spectacle, netizens also read the book and quickly noticed the last poem, "I Hate Dream of the Red Chamber".

"No way, you're really that bold. The scholars of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' will come after you soon."

"The song is sung by David Tao, what does it have to do with us, Yu Wei?"

Cao Xueqin: I dislike David Tao.

Yu Wei's novel describes him as very rebellious, and this song title is quite in line with his character. Most singers probably wouldn't dare to create such a provocative song title.

Three new songs in a row have immediately raised netizens' expectations to the max. Just by looking at the song titles, you can tell that this is a battle of the gods, and they can't wait any longer.

As netizens continued scrolling through the videos, they didn't see any performances by the three main singers, but instead watched an opening show by the newly appointed mentor, Lin Puyan.

No, is that right?

They were so excited, and this is what we showed them...

It's not that Lin Puyan sings badly, the problem is that people don't want to hear his songs right now. After reading a long passage from the novel, all they want to hear now is a chaotic battle of natives.

Although Yu Wei was given a lot of screen time in this part of the story, netizens had no interest in reading it and quickly started flipping through the pages.

For three consecutive pages, there wasn't a single chapter commentary.

Lin Puyan's heart broke when he saw this. Was he really so disliked?

Yu Wei, that kid, writes about the indigenous people to build up anticipation, and then writes his opening scene at the very end. No wonder netizens can't get into that.

Netizens scrolled to the end of the chapter in one go, but found nothing. None of the three songs were released, and there wasn't even a copy of the lyrics.

"Are you even human? Who taught you to write novels like this?"

"No wonder it's a historical theme; this is true history."

It whets the reader's appetite and then abruptly ends the chapter, leaving them furious. Are they just using Lin Puyan's songs to pad the word count?

Yu Wei shouldn't take the blame for this; Lin Puyan added his own drama. The process of contestants choosing songs before the competition, followed by the mentors' opening performance, and finally the contestants competing, is perfectly fine...

Looking at the overwhelming number of "historical" comments from readers at the end of each chapter, Yu Wei felt as if he had rediscovered his original passion for writing books.

comfortable!
Let them curse all they want. If I just write the plot tomorrow and don't release the song, they'll definitely curse even more fiercely once the virtual poll comes out. (End of Chapter)
