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

"Singing again?"

When Qi Luo'an heard that Yu Wei had made another song for her mother, she was a little confused. Didn't they already have one?

She still remembers clearly the scene of Yu Wei singing "Legend" through the crack in the door. Her mother hadn't even finished recording that song yet, and now she was already singing the second one.

Both songs were solo performances, a privilege that neither she nor Qi Yuan received, but which Xiao Chen experienced first.

"He who can do it should work harder."

At other times, Yu Wei would never bother Chen Jinyi, but during holidays and festivals, it was her territory, so who else could he turn to if not her?
In a sense, she is the professional thawing expert here; people only remember her when the year-end approaches.

In the entertainment industry, where superstars usually flaunt their power, on New Year's Eve, dragons must coil and tigers must lie low. Chen Jinyi is the queen of queens.

Qi Luoan could accept it, but Qi Yuan was really upset when he heard about it. He had known Yu Wei for so many years, and all he had gotten so far was two songs.

One song is "A Spray of Plum Blossoms," which he hasn't performed yet and plans to save for the competition. The other song is his solo performance of "Where Has the Time Gone?" at the Spring Festival Gala.

His mother had known Yu Weicai for less than six months, but in the past week she has caught up with his progress of two years.

"It's not balanced, bro."

Fortunately, "Where Has the Time Gone?" was eventually selected for the Spring Festival Gala, otherwise he would have been devastated.

Knowing how to curry favor with the mother-in-law, is the brother-in-law not human?

"What do you mean? You're the director of the fake Spring Festival Gala. No matter how capable Auntie is, she's just an ordinary guest. You're the one with more prestige."

Yu Wei would still try to appease him; compared to tangible works, his brother-in-law preferred empty fame.

As expected, Qi Yuan's mood improved considerably upon hearing this. That made sense; as a member of the leadership, he really didn't need to personally take the stage.

He acknowledged his mother's abilities to some extent, but as for her singing a promotional song for the Spring Festival Gala, he figured it was passable...

"Send it to Mom."

Yu Wei handed the sheet music for "Good Luck" that he had just written to Qi Yuan, and asked him to record the song within two days if possible.

Qi Yuan received the new song and felt that he had been entrusted with an important task. He didn't give such an important task to his little sister, but asked him to do it instead. It seems that his position in Yu Wei's heart has surpassed that of his little sister.

Actually, Yu Wei was afraid that if Qi Luoan delivered this, Aunt Chen would think of something unpleasant, since the time, place, and people all matched.

After sending the message at noon today, Chen Jinyi said she would take a look at the song first, and would only agree if the song met her standards.

In this situation, one's mood while listening to the song is very important, so it would be wiser for Qi Luoan to avoid it...

Qi Luoan understood this principle well, so when he got home he went straight to his room to avoid becoming an obstacle to Yu Wei's plan.

"Mom, guess what I'm holding in my hand?"

Seeing his mother cooking, Qi Yuan grinned and joined in, then happily took on the important task of chopping onions.

If you're just passing on a message, why keep it a secret?

While the ingredients were cooking, Chen Jinyi picked up the sheet music for "Good Luck".

Although she later confirmed the real song title, those three words still come to mind every time she sees it.

Alas, listening to audiobooks is a harmful practice.

As a singer with professional vocal training, my first reaction to "Good Luck" was that it was cheesy. The bright key of G major, coupled with the straightforward lyrics, does have a retro feel.

The song reminded her of those overly bright decorations at the Spring Festival market—tacky and unsophisticated.

Although Chen Jinyi really likes this...

However, when she calmed down and read it carefully, her initial doubts were gradually replaced by a wonderful feeling.

The simple notes on the sheet music seemed to come alive, weaving vivid images in her mind: origami cranes, red ribbons, and Chinese knots.

These images, imbued with the charm of traditional culture, are no longer just simple lyrics, but have become cultural symbols.

She could almost picture the heartwarming scene of countless families listening to this song during the Spring Festival reunion, and see the smiles blooming on those simple faces.

The song's structure is simple yet not monotonous, progressing layer by layer, like good fortune quietly descending.

This arrangement not only conforms to the public's auditory habits but also subtly incorporates professional musical techniques, making it a perfect interpretation of "the most popular is the most elegant".

It's easy to imagine how much middle-aged and elderly people will like this song. Just as Yu Wei wrote in his novel, this song is indeed different!
What moved her even more was the profound humanistic concern contained in the lyrics.

"Your hard work makes your life beautiful, your health keeps you forever young, and all your busy life is for a smile on your face." These seemingly ordinary lyrics express the most sincere respect and blessings for ordinary workers.

How many songs today still remember these laborers?

These few lines alone are enough to make this song worthy of being performed. It is her honor to sing a song that will be remembered by the general public.

"Mom, the song is good, isn't it? Let's do it!"

"Just focus on chopping your onions!"

Although Chen Jinyi was already immersed in the song, she certainly couldn't let her son find out about this. Who didn't know that she was Yu Wei's number one fan?

Yu Xiaozhi has had enough...

It has to be said that through this song, she could indeed see Yu Wei's level of understanding and sense the direction this young man was heading.

Instead of studying so-called art, he calmed down and decided to sing songs that ordinary listeners would like; he wanted to be a singer for the people.

This path is more stable and has a higher potential; Chen Jinyi greatly admired Yu Wei's choice.

"Mother……"

"I know the song is good, stop yelling, I'll sing it, okay?"

"Mom, it's burnt!"

……

"I feel that professional actors can't portray that feeling." When casting for the public service advertisement "Come Home Often", Yu Wei once again spotted Director Xu, who had come to spy on him.

He hasn't been here for a while; it seems that yesterday's update of "Good Luck" has once again alerted him.

Yu Wei pretended not to see and continued to express her opinion on the casting. This public service advertisement was a one-woman show by the old lady from beginning to end, so her casting was naturally of utmost importance.

Professional actors, especially those of this age, tend to have very obvious acting skills and can't really portray that kind of loneliness and loss.

Celebrities live too comfortably; it's not real enough.

Yu Wei's suggestion was quite convincing, after all, he was a real actor, and when it came to casting, the other members of the advertising team might not be as professional as him.

"I think we should find an ordinary elderly woman and let her be herself."

Seeing Yu Wei actively participating in the discussion in the meeting room, Xu Zhen's anxiety subsided; it seemed to have been his misperception.

Perhaps "Good Luck" didn't serve any other purpose and was truly a song he wrote for middle-aged and elderly people?

It's normal for artists to occasionally engage in humanistic concerns; there's no need to overthink it or worry unnecessarily.

He could guess Yu Wei's thought process.

Xu Zhen had read the script for this public service advertisement, which was about elderly people living alone. As Yu Wei delved deeper into the loneliness of the elderly, he was moved and decided to write a song that the elderly would like.

Is this reasonable?
After fully understanding the situation, Xu Zhen left the scene with light steps.

I feel there's no need to keep spying on him. Yu Wei has been living at CCTV lately, so where would he find the time to put on a gala?

Steady!

After finishing the advertising team meeting, Yu Wei immediately inquired about the recording progress of "Good Luck".

Chen Jinyi takes this song very seriously and finished recording it this morning, but the final product will take at least two more days to arrive.

For such an important piece as a promotional song, the production process naturally cannot be taken lightly, requiring the sound engineer and post-production team to work overtime for two days straight.

However, the people behind the scenes knew what kind of success this song would achieve, so they didn't have many complaints.

They will achieve a miracle in the field of communication studies!
"The day after tomorrow? Then we need to promote it in advance."

Yes, promotional songs also need to be promoted, otherwise no one will know if they are released quietly. At least we should announce the time so that everyone knows about it.

Yu Wei didn't advertise anywhere else, but simply added a sentence at the end of the new chapter: "My new song, 'Good Luck,' will be officially released on music platforms the day after tomorrow at noon."

His novels are the best form of publicity.

Not long after the new chapter was released, the comment section was flooded with the word "anticipation." Yu Wei's efficiency this time was a bit too high.

In the past, when his novel titles appeared, it would take ten days to half a month to arrive, and he still owes several songs. This time, he is surprisingly understanding?
"Then let me ask you, what about my 'Blue Lotus'?"

"I can't wait! I've already boasted to my parents, so please don't embarrass me!"

"I slept until two days later."

"Do you know how we fans have been coping these past few days?"

Yu Wei hasn't released a new song in a long time; the last time people heard his song was more than a month ago during a competition.

Ever since the novel started its Spring Festival Gala segment, this guy has been like he's disappeared; they've been waiting for his song for ages...

Less than ten minutes after the chapter was released, the hashtag #YuWeiNewSong# trended on the hot search list.

However, unlike the usual lively discussions under celebrity trending topics, this topic area was filled with a peculiar restraint.

There's nothing to discuss, just wait!

Fans showed a tacit understanding, with no one asking about the style of the new song in the comments section, because it was hard to guess.

Yu Wei's style is too unconventional. What is currently confirmed is that the target audience for this song is the middle-aged and elderly.

Why can't young people listen to this? We don't know and we dare not ask. We'll just wait and see.

While waiting, longtime fans spontaneously compiled a list of songs that Yu Wei owed in the novel, with "Blue Lotus" prominently at the top, more than two hundred days ago.

The most recent batch consists of works that appeared on the fake Spring Festival Gala, but it's been almost a month since then.

This song "Good Luck" was released out of nowhere, with less than four days between its creation and its release. Is this the version's main focus?

Despite its unexpected arrival, the song's introduction was well-written, and everyone's expectations for it were genuine.

At 11:50 a.m. on Wednesday, ten minutes before the new song was to be released.

The activity level in Yu Wei's fan group has clearly decreased, not because people are not interested, but quite the opposite, everyone is already in place and ready.

A few messages occasionally flashed in the group: "I want to be the first to listen," "I hope the platform doesn't crash," "It's here."

Long Taoyi was already comfortably nestled on the sofa, headphones hanging around his neck, phone charging cable plugged in, and music platform account logged in.

DBTH lay quietly on his bed in the dormitory, his phone screen stuck on the new song preview page, constantly refreshing.

The man, even as a teenager, had tested the home's Wi-Fi speed beforehand to ensure everything was working perfectly.

As a seasoned "little fish" (a term for someone who frequently posts songs on a mobile platform), he has experienced platform lag too many times when releasing songs. This time, he made double preparations: logging in on both the mobile and computer versions simultaneously, using whichever was smoother.

As the time drew ever closer, at exactly noon, almost at the same instant the time jumped, all the refresh buttons were pressed.

On major music platforms, the cover of "Good Luck" slowly appeared, featuring an oversized Chinese knot.

The singer was a name they didn't expect—Chen Jinyi, someone who seemed to be remembered only during holidays and festivals.

Everyone eagerly clicked to play the new song, only to suddenly discover that there was a note after the song title.

[Good Luck Comes: Chen Jinyi]
