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

“It’s breathtaking, it’s breathtaking!”

Meng Han has listened to "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" four times in a row, and each time she has a new feeling.

This song perfectly interprets the rock aesthetics of "power comes from restraint". The piano and clear guitar in the verses are a monologue and a reflection.

The most rock and roll moment is that iconic guitar interlude, which doesn't feature exaggerated scales but instead uses continuous melodic lines to construct a spiritual wilderness.

This is rock and roll, this is art!
As a veteran rock musician, he found the song irresistible; the phrase "vast sky and boundless sea" perfectly captures the most moving essence of rock music.

The final section, featuring a full orchestral ensemble and screaming vocals, is a complete release and a solemn coronation.

From now on, the title of "half of the rock music scene" may have to change hands...

Rather than saying he was convinced outright, it would be more accurate to say he was completely convinced. This song touched his heart and expressed things he had never sung before.

"Stop marveling at it, come and watch the show."

The person greeting them from the side was Sun Qian, Meng Han's wife, and Meng Lei's mother.

Although her son was backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, the Spring Festival Gala she was referring to was not the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, but Yu Wei's Spring Festival Gala, and on TV, Meng Han was taking the stage.

Although Sun Qian had never interacted with Yu Wei, she respected her son's friend and supporting the novel's appearance on the Spring Festival Gala was just a small favor.

"What do you know? Brother Yu, this song of yours is enough for me to savor for years."

Despite complaining, Meng Han obediently sat down and naturally put his arm around his wife's waist.

The concert on TV was about to begin, and he was quite satisfied with the song. Yu Wei was giving him face by asking him to sing it.

But soon, the two noticed the QR code in the lower right corner of the screen, and Sun Qian quickly paused the video.

"Brother Yu, what's this?"

Without thinking, Meng Han scanned the QR code and was immediately redirected to a music app, where a pre-order link for an album popped up.

"The Sound of Books": Music is born from the pages of books.

"Album?"

The two exchanged a glance, naturally knowing what this meant. For musicians, a debut album is of extraordinary significance, and they naturally had to support them.

Meng Han glanced at the album introduction. All eleven songs were competition pieces from the novel, but three of them were being released to the public for the first time.

Moreover, each song in the book is a chapter of a story, together forming a complete artistic expression; the phrase "sound of reading" is quite ingenious.

"It's only available in digital format right now, which is a shame. I was hoping to buy a physical copy to collect."

Meng Han did not hesitate to pre-order. There were already more than 20,000 reservations before him, obviously all of whom came by scanning the QR code to watch the show.

"Times have changed."

Sun Qian sighed with emotion upon hearing this, "If it's just Yu Wei, the physical product shouldn't have any trouble selling."

The music app hasn't launched any promotions yet, and Yu Wei hasn't done much advertising. Currently, the only way to make a reservation is by scanning a QR code.

In this situation, more than 20,000 people made pre-orders in a short period of time, which shows Yu Wei's influence.

After the pause was lifted, the melody of "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" officially began, and the ancient and majestic melody was overwhelming. While listening to the song, netizens began to criticize Yu Wei's actions.

It's normal for musicians to release albums, and Yu Wei had promoted them before, but they really didn't expect this kid to insert a small advertisement in his self-made Spring Festival Gala.

Only Yu Wei could pull off such a propaganda campaign...

The Spring Festival Gala is a nationwide event with a huge influence, so it is indeed a good way to sell products. Is it possible that he only organized the Spring Festival Gala to sell albums?

"You're after the New Year's money, aren't you? This kid's got a real knack for business."

"It's not even as expensive as subscribing to the whole novel, so I bought it."

"I just grabbed a red envelope and spent it all. What a rip-off!"

"I'll show my support since the Spring Festival Gala is so good."

Netizens, grumbling and cursing, chose to pre-order, treating it as a holiday gift to Yu Wei...

"Arrogant laughter amidst a thousand waves"
Their passion burns brighter than the sun.

The moment Meng Han's singing began, the netizens who had been chatting excitedly just moments before seemed to have their pulse squeezed by an invisible hand.

The tone is not particularly brilliant or high-pitched, but it is deep and heavy, with a sharp and hoarse quality reminiscent of metal after being quenched.

Although the novel describes this song as being of the same type as "Loyalty to the Country," Meng Han's singing skills are far superior to Fei Hong's, so much so that the moment he opened his mouth, the outcome of this indirect contest was decided.

"Be a good man"
Be self-reliant every day

hot-blooded men

Brighter than the sun.

The lyrics were simple, but he sang them with deliberate pauses, each word sounding as if it had been forged, striking straight into the audience's eardrums and then crashing heavily into their chests.

As the chorus approaches, the rhythm of the music suddenly intensifies, with drumbeats as dense as rain hitting a sheet of iron. The accumulated power has finally reached the critical point of bursting forth.

A furious roar that could split rocks and pierce the clouds!
This is a singing style that only someone of Meng Han's caliber can master, making the audience in front of the screen feel exceptionally comfortable.

Instead of inviting veteran musicians, the Spring Festival Gala only invites young idols to sing. They may not be bad, but since they're on the Spring Festival Gala, the requirement can't just be that they're not bad.

Fortunately, Yu Weihui recognized Meng's talent; otherwise, we wouldn't have heard Teacher Meng's wonderful performance.

Seeing this, netizens who hesitated and didn't pre-order immediately skipped the progress bar and scanned the link. What else is there to say? I'll support them, that's all.
……

"Album?"

Hearing Yu Wei's outrageous move, Xu Zhen was a little taken aback. "If you wanted to sell albums, you should have said so earlier! What's with organizing the Spring Festival Gala?" he thought. If he had known Yu Wei was organizing the Gala to sell albums, he would have personally bought out all the stock to stop him…

Now look what's happened, he's living in constant fear.

Xu Zhen has already discovered that a large number of viewers are switching between Yu Wei and their Spring Festival Gala, which is why the ratings are so unstable.

But he hasn't yet discovered the pattern.

It's not just Yu Wei's show that will see a rise in ratings, because just now, the magic show's ratings also saw a small peak.

The ratings waveform is like an irregular wave, sometimes very high, sometimes falling below the lower limit.

In the past, the Spring Festival Gala was either mediocre or spectacular. This year, the spectacular programs took off even more than in previous years, but the flops were even more spectacular than usual.

He's been a regular on the Spring Festival Gala for a while, but this is the first time I've ever seen something this outrageous.

Even with the influence of Yu Wei's novel on the Spring Festival Gala, their viewership ratings should have remained stable and not fluctuated significantly.

This situation is like some audience members being organized and disciplined; they come together and leave together, which is really strange...

The magic show had high ratings, of course, because Yu Wei appeared on the show in the latest chapter.

Yu Wei's program recommendations are not entirely biased; he also includes excellent programs from CCTV, such as the opening program "Everything Prospers".

This year's magic show was quite spectacular. There's no magic on the Spring Festival Gala in the novel, so he included it to complement it. People who get tired of watching magic on the Gala can come here for some fun.

A truly good program will still have a place in its storyline; just ignore the mediocre programs that are no different from watching nothing at all.

Following Yu Wei's rhythm, the audience's current state is "watch yours after watching yours, and watch yours again after watching yours."

It sounds complicated, but you can actually just switch directly in the history. It's simple to operate but has an excellent viewing experience, with no dull moments.

Many young viewers were switching the screen so frequently that their parents even thought the Spring Festival Gala was a branch venue, and said that this year's Spring Festival Gala was much better...

After watching the amazing magic show, they couldn't wait to teleport back to the Spring Festival Gala, where a big performance was coming up – another skit.

The skit segment, which was previously criticized in the storyline, has surprisingly become the most anticipated segment for many viewers.

The words "A Strange Encounter While Working" appeared on the screen. The next second, Qi Yuan, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a shiny suit, and slicked-back hair, appeared on stage. He played the manager of the restaurant in the skit.

This outfit alone made the audience want to laugh. When had they ever seen Qi Yuan like this?

However, it must be said that this pretentious and affected manner suits Qi Yuan quite well, and when paired with his deliberately affected Mandarin, it has a certain humor to it.

I've developed a condition where I want to laugh whenever I see a Chinese server player's brother-in-law...

Next, Liu Ning came on stage, dressed in simple rural old lady attire, her back slightly hunched, carrying a small cloth bag in her hand, her eyes revealing simplicity and a hint of timidity.

Who is this?
Most viewers don't recognize agents or other behind-the-scenes workers; only a small number of people who pay special attention to Yu Wei recognize who they are.

This guy is outrageous! He actually brought his manager to perform in a skit. The first two shows were full of big names, and now it's back to being a amateur troupe, isn't it?

But Liu Ning's performance surprised everyone; her authentic accent immediately captivated everyone's ears.

"This is the Empress Dowager's Grand Restaurant. What can you possibly do here?" Qi Yuan asked, raising his chin in a condescending manner.

"I can do anything! Serving tea and water, washing vegetables and dishes, just don't make me count money, it gives me a headache!"

The skit unfolds at a leisurely pace, with the restaurant manager trying to repackage this ordinary restaurant as the "Empress Dowager's Grand Restaurant," selling dishes like "Imperial Jade Liquor" and "Gathering of Heroes," which sound high-end but are actually just deceptive.

The rural old lady is simple and honest, while the two—one shrewd and the other simple, one flamboyant and the other sincere—create a wonderful comedic effect.

"Our Imperial Jade Liquor has quite a history!" the manager said mysteriously.

"What's your background?" the old lady blinked, her face serious.

"One hundred and eighty cups!"

"How's the wine?"

"Let me tell you how to play it."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan drew out his words and began to gesticulate wildly, his exaggerated body language and winking expressions making him look exactly like a con artist.

The audience in front of the screen couldn't hold back anymore. Is this still the same Yuan Shen who used to sing and dance so seriously? How did he suddenly become a comedian?
The most brilliant thing was Liu Ning's response. She frowned and inadvertently blurted out the truth: "Actually, it's just Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) mixed with plain water!"

This skit has a retro design. Rather than using jokes to amuse people, it's more like a two-person comedy act, with one person taking turns performing, making it very entertaining.

It's not the kind of show that will make you burst into laughter, but it's entertaining from start to finish and you can watch it comfortably.

As the skit reached its climax, the manager taught the old lady how to "package" ordinary dishes.

He brought out a plate of radishes, a dish he called "A Gathering of Heroes," insisting it was "Imperial Cuisine," and even made up a name for it on the spot.

The two interacted, and every sentence they exchanged was full of witty remarks. The audience laughed and wondered where Yu Wei got so many funny jokes from.
The structure of "The Protagonist and the Supporting Role" is very unconventional, and the nesting of plays within plays is very ingenious, but the development of "A Working Adventure" is very linear and closer to traditional sketches.

The two comedic styles are completely different, but Yu Wei did both very well, which fully demonstrates that he is not only good at writing, but also quite proficient in it.

Now, among those who laugh heartily at the skit are some of the readers who criticized Yu Wei for neglecting his duties back then. The happier they are now, the more embarrassed they feel when they think about it.

They didn't think they were completely wrong. It was normal to raise questions at the time, and there was no need to hold a grudge against their past selves.

Who would have thought Yu Wei was such a scoundrel...

However, those who used harsh words were quite sensible and pre-ordered Yu Wei's album as a small token of apology.

Actually, Yu Weizhen didn't take the netizens' comments to heart at the time, except for the haters who specifically came to her door.

He made a mistake at the time, but quite a few people came after him, so it was time to retaliate. He's a vengeful person.

It's almost time. (End of Chapter)
