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

"Thank you for coming to help."

After leaving the recording studio, Yu Wei still thanked Qi Luoan, who had helped her record a harmony section for "A Thousand Miles Away".

In the previous competition version, Yu Wei sang two parts separately. Although the effect was not bad, there was no interaction in the harmony, so it was not quite good enough to be included in an album.

Since it's his first album, the quality of the songs has to be top-notch, and he will refine each song before including it.

"Do we need to say thank you between us?"

"Don't let those romance novels brainwash you. Old married couples say thank you all the time."

It's not that Yu Wei is ruining the atmosphere, it's just that this kind of dialogue is really meaningless. Regardless of who you're talking to or what your relationship is with, expressing gratitude is essential.

"It would be my pleasure to do this for you, alright?"

Qi Luoan was the only singer involved in Yu Wei's album. If it really becomes a hit album, she will have done her part.

Wang Taolin's three songs were also recorded by Yu Wei. These songs will be repeatedly improved over a long period before the album is released.

He doesn't need to worry about the post-production work for now; what should be on the agenda right now is the filming progress of the fake Spring Festival Gala.

Of the dozen or so programs Yu Wei prepared, only three skits and two songs have been filmed so far, which is quite slow.

However, it's understandable that he was procrastinating. After all, he had to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala review and didn't have time. Now that everyone has passed the review, he can fully participate in the filming.

Oh, besides Qi Yuan, he also has to play in the revival match...

Just as the two were preparing to go home and share a "goodnight kiss," Ye Shengyu finally sent a message, intending to sing "The Boatman's Love."

It seems like this deal has been made!
"Great, I can tell Xiao Chen and the others when I get back tonight."

After forty years of wrangling, the two old men have finally made a breakthrough. Anyone who has witnessed this along the way must be moved to tears upon hearing it.

"I think we should put the matter of holding a banquet on the agenda."

At their age, if they don't eat now, they won't have any left. They might as well eat it...

In fact, Ye Shengyu and Zhong Qing's relationship didn't progress that quickly. Although Zhong Qing had let go of her obsession, she still needed some time to recover.

Even if the two have feelings for each other, it's not a seamless transition; love needs time to develop, and the duet is just the beginning.

"Another one vying with us for the best duet at the Spring Festival Gala."

Qi Luoan was hoping that their "The Most Romantic Thing" would break through the competition, but unexpectedly, they encountered the help of veteran artists.

"The Boatman's Love" is so catchy, it probably can't compete with it in terms of popularity.

"It's okay, we still have 'The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend' to record in a few days."

This song was used by Yu Wei to boost the popularity of the fake Spring Festival Gala. Its popularity speaks for itself; it will undoubtedly become a hit everywhere.

There are no duos in the team, so this song can only be sung by the two of them. Qi Luoan is good at high notes, so he just needs to go through the motions.

"In a few days?"

Qi Luo'an's eyes lit up upon hearing this. The agreed-upon time was in a few days; he could use recording this song as an excuse to leave and go home...

I thought this guy wasn't in a hurry at all, but it turns out he was just pretending to be serious. He even came up with a reason to leave the main group in advance.

“Recording the song is great, we have to record this song.”

Yu Wei felt that Qi Luoan seemed to have misunderstood, but he didn't say anything, since it was hard to say that he wasn't in a hurry at all.

He had no worldly desires; he simply wanted to see what a submissive Qi Luoan would be like...

The next morning, Yu Wei arrived at the studio early. Today was his last day as a judge, and he didn't know if he would have another chance.

"The Boatman's Love" and "Unforgettable Tonight" were indeed added, but ranked last at number 76 and 77.

There are about thirty song and dance performances in the Spring Festival Gala, which shows the high elimination rate of the judges, even after a preliminary screening.

Currently, only about ten contestants have made it directly to the Spring Festival Gala. The rest will have to be selected from the undecided pool, which is a rather complicated process. Qi Yuan is going to have a tough time.

The last ones left were all dance programs, which Yu Wei didn't really understand, so she just gave them a score based on following the trend. The only downside was that there were no robots dancing, which was a bad review.

During my lunch break while writing, the plot picks up right where yesterday left off with the apprenticeship ceremony, with the protagonist Wei Yu formally inviting Shen Yutong to join the "Seven Warlords of the Sea".

Why did he choose this organization name? Because the sea is full of fish, which suits his style better, and seven is his lucky number.

In Yu Wei's novels, this is just a loosely organized hobby group with no specific organizational structure or vested interests.

The main reason for writing it this way is to avoid over-interpretation. If a sufficient number of "legions" and "companies" were actually written, it would inevitably be subject to conspiracy theories.

Writing about a random hobby group is just right.

The new chapter was released and immediately drew a lot of question marks. What does this organization's name mean? I don't understand it at all.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea under the King, and the Three Salmons on the Bandits' Land."

"I understand. Yu Wei plans to become king and wants to select seven capable generals."

"That's reasonable. Shen Yutong is excellent in both singing and songwriting, and has strong abilities. She should be the top student!"

Just a few minutes after Yu Weigang updated, messages from Qi Yuan and Zhang Lingye arrived. Their nicknames were so cringeworthy, they definitely deserved to be included.

There are only seven of these, so we have to grab a seat as soon as possible.

Qi Yuan originally wanted to be the number one person under Yu Wei, but he also acknowledged that Shen Yutong was ranked ahead of him, so taking the second seat would be acceptable.

Zhang Lingye remained the same as always, still particularly fond of being called "Zhang San" (Third Brother Zhang). No matter how the order of names was determined, he wanted to be the third brother.

"Who said there are only seven Shichibukai?"

The three legendary gods all start with four. You can't trust the numbers in novels; it's normal to stuff ten or eight in one go.

They'll discuss joining tomorrow's chapter; the studio can't come right away, but the novel enthusiasts' club is still an option. This organization doesn't have any other purpose for now, so let's try to give them more screen time and boost their popularity.

In the afternoon, Yu Wei went backstage at the studio again, only to find Ye Shengyu and Zhong Qing sitting there pushing and shoving each other.

This is... Qi Luoan's favorite episode.

"Cough cough."

After Zhong Qing noticed Yu Wei, she quickly coughed twice, dodged Ye Shengyu's arm, and remained silent. She had already said that the backstage area was a public place, and now she was embarrassed.

When Yu Wei looked closer, she saw that the two were still holding hands. Ye Laodeng was holding her hand very tightly, as if he were asserting his ownership.

The two first met in 1972.

Ye Shengyu and Zhong Qing were in the same class during their school days, but they hardly ever spoke to each other. At that time, the boundary between men and women was an invisible but extremely difficult line to cross.

Ye Shengyu was a boy of average height and average grades in the class. Apart from his exceptionally good blackboard drawings, he didn't have anything particularly noteworthy about him.

Their paths crossed when they switched seats; based on height, Ye Shengyu sat diagonally behind Zhong Qing.

From then on, his field of vision included a slender, always upright figure and a long, black ponytail that always hung quietly behind his head, sometimes swaying gently with his writing movements.

He began to draw her unconsciously.

It wasn't intentional; rather, it was as if my fingers had their own memory, moving in the blank spaces of textbooks, in the corners of draft paper, and on the edges of old newspapers used for drafting.

At the time, Ye Shengyu was unaware that his supposedly discreet observations and the rustling sound of his pen, unlike the sound of taking notes, had already been noticed.

Originally, this unspoken understanding was meant to blossom and bear fruit, but then one day, that person appeared...

Thinking of Chen Ping, Ye Shengyu still grits his teeth in anger. Damn it, he only targets the girls around him. Not only did he write songs for his sister, but he also had to learn piano from Zhong Qing.

Chen Gou is a real dog; he can't help but wink at any female dog he sees in the alley. There's nothing he can do about it; he's just so charming.

I was eighteen that year, and I thought pure love was invincible.

Thankfully, I won in the end!
Ye Shengyu now finds Yu Wei extremely pleasing to the eye. He wishes this kid had come a few decades earlier; with him around, he would have succeeded long ago.

It's hard to say. What if he had come earlier and my older sister Xiaoqing had been seduced by him again... It's better to have fewer of these kinds of devils around.

After hearing their story, Yu Wei felt even more that he had done the right thing. He almost ruined their childhood sweetheart relationship. Old Master Chen was really unfair.

While they were chatting, number 76 arrived. It was Ye Shengyu and Zhong Qing's turn to go on stage. The two moved quickly, adjusted themselves, and went on stage.

"They only decided to sing last night, will they be able to sing well?"

Ye Shengyu received the song relatively early, so Yu Wei wasn't worried. Zhong Qing probably only received the song yesterday, and the female vocal part of "The Boatman's Love" is quite difficult to sing.

He didn't question it, but just watched quietly.

The two supported each other as they moved step by step from the side curtain to the center of the stage.

Without elaborate makeup and hair, Ye Shengyu wore a slightly worn navy blue Zhongshan suit, faded from washing but perfectly ironed.

Zhong Qing was also dressed simply, with her silver hair neatly tied into a bun at the back of her head.

The usually cool Ye Laodeng has become an ordinary old man, and Senior Zhong no longer wears the clothes that represent memories.

This moment belongs to the two of them.

Without thinking, Yu Wei took out his phone and started taking pictures secretly. This kind of thing was naturally not allowed, but the staff did not dare to say anything.

It seems like there's nothing wrong with people filming their own songs...

"Sister, you sit at the bow of the boat."

My brother walked on the shore
The rope, symbolizing love and affection, sways gently.

Without any technique, only emotion, every word Ye Shengyu spoke carried weight, hitting the carpet in the studio and bouncing back to resonate in everyone's ears.

That wasn't "singing," it was "shouting," shouting to the beloved, shouting to the rivers beneath his feet, shouting to the eternal sky above.

This song should be shouted out.

This was the first time Yu Wei had heard Ye Shengyu sing. He could only say that there was no mediocrity in a veteran artist; Ye Shengyu's powerful singing skills gave him a jolt.

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Qing's voice joined in.

It wasn't the crisp, sweet voice of a young girl, but a warm yet bright female voice, tempered by time and the river breeze.

"Little sister, I'm sitting at the bow of the boat"
Brother, you walk on the shore.

Her gaze didn't fall on any of the judges below the stage, but instead drifted vaguely ahead, as if there really was a river there, with a small boat on it, carrying her youthful spirit.

Bye now……

Her singing voice contained an almost naive trust, echoing the old man's voice with a heavy sense of responsibility, creating a harmonious and complementary exchange.

The melody weaves between the two voices, simulating the sobbing of the river wind and the undulation of the waves, simple to the extreme, and accurate to the extreme.

The judges' panel was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Yu Wei also did not expect them to perform the song so well. This kind of beauty transcends the usual meaning of melodic beauty or singing skills, but a sense of authenticity.

Listening to them sing, it's as if you can really see that tow rope, clinging to each other for survival on the river.

Is this the true skill of veteran artists?

If they're already like this, then what level of enlightenment must Ye Ranzhi, who lives in seclusion, have reached...?

They've already sent two people; it's time for her to take matters into her own hands.

Open the door, grandson-in-law! (End of Chapter)
