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

At the dining table, Chen Jinyi and Qi Yunming sat at opposite ends, the Qi siblings facing each other, and the conversation somehow turned to Yu Wei.

The white porcelain bowl held perfectly separated grains of rice, with wisps of steam rising from it. After hesitating for a while, Qi Luoan finally took the opportunity to tell Xiao Chen about Yu Wei's request for help.

Asking in front of the whole family has an advantage: older brothers and Lao Qi will both speak up for Yu Wei, since they've already been pretty much won over by him...

With someone's support, she felt more confident, and her success rate was higher than if she were invited one-on-one.

"Oh haha."

Chen Jinyi is also a smart person. When she heard Yu Wei invite her to film something, she immediately connected everything.

No wonder he suddenly wrote a lot of skits; it turns out he was planning to put on his own Spring Festival Gala. Though small, it has all the essential parts.

This kid really has ideas. As a so-called "veteran" of the Spring Festival Gala, Chen Jinyi has to admit that the Gala's popularity with audiences is declining year by year.

Organizing a Spring Festival Gala at this time undoubtedly fills a market gap and gives viewers more choices, which is a good thing.

Rather than saying the two are in a competitive relationship, it would be more accurate to say that Yu Wei's "fake Spring Festival Gala" is a fan fiction of the Spring Festival Gala, intended to make up for the shortcomings of the current Spring Festival Gala.

"Mom, if I were you, I would go and see."

Seeing Chen Jinyi smile without saying anything, Qi Yuan thought she didn't want to go, so he quickly chimed in, "At least it'll be quite lively."

The atmosphere at the table subtly shifted. Qi Luoan slowed down his eating, Qi Yunming looked up, and Chen Jinyi put down her chopsticks, gently clasping her hands together under the table—a habitual gesture when she was thinking.

She wasn't considering whether to go or not, but rather wondering what made Yu Wei so charming...

It's not surprising that An'an spoke up for him, after all, they love each other to death, so why would her son jump in to join in the fun? Doesn't he not get along with his sister?

My son also has Tongyu?

The only thing that could unite them on one side is probably Yu Wei.

"I can't do without good works. I have to protect my reputation. I can only talk if there are benefits involved."

Chen Jinyi suddenly felt playful and deliberately used a snobbish tone to provoke them, wanting to see how they would react.

As expected, Qi Yuan became anxious as soon as she finished speaking.

"Mom, they've been guests to our home before, and they're Dad's business partner. Saying things like that will only make them feel bad."

Qi Luoan didn't react much, but stared at Chen Jinyi with a slightly puzzled look, feeling that this was not something she would say.

"Personal relationships are personal relationships, and work is work."

Chen Jinyi sighed dismissively, "Your mother is a veteran, so what's wrong with asking for a little extra benefit?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan felt as if a hundred claws were tearing at his heart. It was all over; he was likely now facing the age-old dilemma of "loyalty to one's country and filial piety being mutually exclusive"...

"Alright, stop teasing Yuanyuan."

In the end, it was Qi Yunming who took the initiative to break the deadlock. His son was already stupid, and he was still teasing him. Did the stupid man deserve to be teased by him?

Their family had a total of ten measures of cunning. He kept one measure for himself, An'an inherited one measure, the child's mother kept ten measures, and Qi Yuan owed two measures.

Chen Jinyi glanced at him with a smile. Well, another lobbyist has arrived. What's wrong with their family? Why are they all speaking up for Yu Wei?

It was one thing for the daughter and son to be involved with Yu, but now even Lao Qi was getting involved. The entire family of four had been completely infiltrated by Yu Wei without anyone knowing when.

Looking at it this way, it seems like she's being isolated. "You guys in Tongyu, why aren't you including me?"
“Mom, it should be a good work, it won’t disgrace you.” Qi Luo’an knew his mother was joking, but he still said seriously, “He seemed very confident about this.”

"Oh haha."

Chen Jinyi's expression shifted slightly. She had intended to help anyway, and the quality of the work didn't matter much, but if she really had the chance to come across a good piece of work, that would be a great blessing.

She was quite curious about what kind of work could make Yu Wei so confident, and it seemed she had to go and see for herself.

"You're bribing the examiners, aren't you?"

As a veteran who has attended the Spring Festival Gala for sixteen consecutive years, Chen Jinyi also participates in the program review for the Gala. Although she is not the chief judge, she still has some say.

Cooperating with her in advance, isn't that bribing the examiner?
"Actually, it's not that I didn't bribe the presiding judge..."

Ye Shengyu is the chief judge of the program, and Yu Wei also bribed him, but so far he has only bribed half of him.

Yu Wei's party has no official certification and is at most just for his own amusement. Even if Chen Jinyi participates, it won't have much of an impact, provided that she doesn't start any conflict.

Even if she does participate, she only represents herself, not any organization. She knows what she should and shouldn't say.

More than that, she was curious about the bribery of the presiding judge that her daughter had mentioned. "Did you also contact your second uncle?"

Among the presiding judges, Ye Shengyu was the only one who was familiar with Yu Wei, which was not hard to guess.

There was nothing shameful about it, so Qi Luo'an simply told them the truth. When they heard that Yu Wei planned to help Ye Shengyu win over Zhong Qing, the three of them were stunned...

This kid is too audacious; he even wants to meddle in the affairs of the older generation.

Even the most laid-back Qi Yunming was still agitated upon hearing this, and he thought to himself, "Wow, that's awesome!"

Ever since he entered the Chen family home, the two of them have been arguing. People around them have tried to persuade them and even tried to mediate, but to no avail.

If Yu Wei could help Uncle Ye and Aunt Zhong, who had been together for over forty years, finally get married, that would indeed be a great achievement.

Qi Yunming and Chen Jinyi exchanged a glance, completely thinking the same thing: if it were Yu Wei, it might actually be possible.

They had witnessed this incident since childhood and naturally knew the inside story. In fact, the two parties involved had feelings for each other, but Zhong Qing couldn't let go of her obsession.

So many years have passed, and what she can't let go of is no longer the Chen Ping of yesteryear, but the Chen Ping who lives in her memories.

He was trapped for life by someone he could not have in his youth.

The white moonlight in his memory was so beautiful that it could not be replaced by anyone, not even the white moonlight that came later. Chen Jinyi had a lot to say about this. She and her mother were the two people closest to Chen Ping in the world, but even they could accept the fact that Chen Ping lost to Yu Wei.

On the contrary, Zhong Qing couldn't accept it because the Chen Ping in her heart was overly romanticized by her obsession and memories...

Zhong Qing knew she was fixated on something, which was why she repeatedly rejected Ye Shengyu. If she agreed, it would only hurt him.

In this situation, nothing Ye Shengyu did could change anything, and no one could persuade him otherwise, because the filter was just too thick.

But it is the only thing I can do.

The reason is simple: only he can shatter this filter...

Only when Zhong Qing realizes that the Chen Ping in her memory is not perfect can she completely let go of her obsession and embrace a new life.

In short, win again.

Only Yu Weiying has ever won; he is the one who brought about a great upheaval that has not been seen in forty years.

Let him win again, especially against Zhong Qing, and it might completely shatter the other person's positive image.

"So you're going to drag my dad into this again to get beaten up, huh?"

Chen Jinyi sighed helplessly. This matter sounded feasible and would be a good thing for Zhong Qing and Ye Shengyu. Everyone really wanted to see it.

However, once the world where Chen Ping was injured was achieved, he would be whipped again. It's not easy to leave behind some works; every time, Yu Weishou would snipe him.

"Actually, it's not necessarily a matter of losing."

Qi Yunming was well aware of Uncle Chen's abilities. The works he left behind were bug-level, designed to disrupt the status quo and deliver a devastating blow to future generations.

It sounds like Yu Wei is about to do something heinous, but in reality, he's just standing on the other side of the chessboard.

Ultimately, winning or losing depends on ability. Once a song is released, comparisons will follow. Even if Yu Wei doesn't go, this song will still come looking for her. Artistic clashes are unavoidable.

A successful sniper shot is a true sniper shot; if you get taken down by a deathrattle, you'll be ridiculed by everyone. Who's the victim depends on who wins.

"Then I'd like to see it end in a draw."

Chen Jinyi chuckled and said, "After all, I have relatives on both sides."

However, if it's a draw, Zhong Qing might not be able to fully accept reality; it all depends on how far Yu Wei can go.

Qi Yuan and Qi Luo'an, standing nearby, stared at each other, the situation seemed a bit complicated, they hadn't expected Yu Wei to be involved so much.

Qi Luo'an is alright, after all, it was she who suggested this. Unexpectedly, by sheer luck, she got the chance to resolve Zhong Qing's inner conflict.

But Qi Yuan was truly dumbfounded; was another epic battle about to begin...?

Last time, he was Chen Ping's substitute, and to be honest, his skills were a bit lacking. This time, the senior singer Zhong Qing was in charge of singing, so his skills have naturally improved by more than one level.

With veteran artists and timeless masterpieces, top-notch singing skills and top-notch production, this is much tougher than the last time.

Moreover, as the sniper, Yu Wei faces an even greater challenge, because he may not have any ready-made songs, and it is not easy to defeat him head-on with a similar style.

The person who goes first only needs to use what they are good at, while the person who goes back will find it difficult to counter their moves. If they don't have enough reserves, they will be killed in one blow.

The next day, Yu Wei was stunned when he heard the news from Qi Luoan. He hadn't even decided whether to fight or not, how did he end up being put in this position?
"Is it too late for me to switch careers and pursue comedy?"

"It's too late, my grandfather also acted in comedies."

Qi Luoan sighed, "Even if there are a thousand paths, it's hard to escape meeting him."

As Yu Wei rises higher and higher, it's inevitable that he'll run into his seniors. If the future is his, he'll have to prove it to everyone.

"I've written millions of words, has he? I've failed at writing, has he? I can write 5,000 words a day, can he do that?"

In terms of writing novels, Yu Wei can still completely outshine Chen Ping. People need to learn to make comparisons with others.

"Alright, alright, you're even better."

Qi Luoan naturally trusted Yu Wei more, saying, "We'll print out your novels and burn some for him to read later..."

"Forget it then."

Song competitions are a form of artistic exchange, which is unavoidable and should not be considered an insult to the deceased.

But feeding people with this stuff is a different story. If they actually burned it, they might come back in a dream and curse: "What kind of underworld novel is this? The underworld can't stand this!"

Joking aside, Yu Wei wasn't afraid of comparison. If they ran into each other, so be it. He would just avoid the other's sharp edge.

It's hard to say exactly what song it will be, since no one knows what the theme of the song is. Even Ye Ranzhi probably doesn't know, because according to Qi Yuan, the envelope is sealed.

Out of respect for her lover, Ye Ranzhi wouldn't have taken the liberty of disassembling the song herself. We'll probably only find out what the song is like when the show's judging takes place.

"Do you have any inside information to give me a heads-up?"

The opponent's stats were too high, and Yu Wei was a little nervous. Rushing into battle was not a good thing.

Yu Wei made a casual joke, but he didn't expect to receive a call from Ye Shengyu so soon. Could there really be inside information?

Ye Shengyu had no reason to inquire about his "love rival's" songs; he came for serious business.

"After a unanimous discussion among the Spring Festival Gala creators, we would like to invite you to join the judging panel for music programs."

Ye Shengyu suggested this, and Yu Wei's musical professionalism is beyond doubt. As a direct guest to the Spring Festival Gala, it is very appropriate for him to join the music judging panel.

However, it all depends on what the director thinks. Ye Shengyu was just asking tentatively, and it didn't matter if he was rejected. But things went more smoothly than he expected.

Not only did the director tacitly approve, but even Liao Ling, who is always competitive, agreed. It was truly strange. (End of Chapter)
