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

"So, I sent it?"

After two days of work, Qi Luoan quickly finished processing the plot he had made up, and his new work is set to launch today.

As a novice author, she still holds her readers in awe, and before each new chapter is released, she worries that the new plot will cause dissatisfaction among the readers.

"Just send it."

She lacked confidence because she worried that domestic audiences wouldn't like works about wizards, but Yu Wei was well aware of the influence of Harry Potter.

Even disregarding its international reach, it's a hugely popular IP in China, and it would be just as successful here. There's no reason why it wouldn't be a hit.

In fact, Qi Luoan was mainly worried that Yu Wei's readers would not accept it, since the works that appeared in her novels were also previews of Yu Wei's versions.

These readers, after finishing "The Devotion of Suspect X," have been waiting for a new detective story, so a fantasy novel could easily turn them away.

Seeing Yu Wei's confidence, Qi Luoan quietly breathed a sigh of relief and clicked "Publish".

This is truly a new project launch; she wasn't lying to everyone...

"Wei Yu's new book is out? I don't believe it?"

"I don't believe it either. I guess An Shen is out of ideas and just came up with a title to trick subscribers."

"Fishing again, huh? I choose to continue raising books."

I don't read it, I just subscribe. Who plagiarized a novel, copying forty chapters without even revealing the title?
Twin Sunflowers' reputation has long been negative in their eyes, Qi Luoan is out!

The classic story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" has been written by Qi Luoan so many times that now that he's seriously pushing the main plot forward, nobody believes him anymore.

She couldn't do anything about it; she just had to wait. There would always be readers joining in, and it wasn't like no one would read it at all.

Although Qi Luoan's book is written haphazardly and based on wishful thinking, it still enjoys considerable popularity and usually has a large following. The reason it has cooled down so much today is mainly because people's attention has been diverted.

What's drawing readers away isn't anything else, but Yu Wei's new album. Their readers are the same group of people, and with the new songs about to be released, everyone will definitely prioritize listening to them.

It's not that the readers are inhuman; it's all because the new song is too captivating. Yu Wei has pulled off a big stunt this time, and everyone who heard a little bit of the news went to watch. How could they possibly be here reading?
Yu Wei's novel clearly states that the fifth song is called "Five Hundred Miles." Everyone was still wondering why miles were used, but when the countdown screen appeared today, wow, it's "Five Hundred Miles."

One, two, three, four, five, right? Although five is still five, why not use the word five instead of the English word? What did the word five do to you?

The ancestral methods have ultimately changed; what will become of our number song...?

Joking aside, everyone is still very curious about this song. It seems that this is the first time Yu Wei has written an English song after being in the industry for so long.

He can write Japanese songs, so it's not so surprising that he can write English songs. After all, there are many singers in China who can write English songs, but there really aren't any who can write Japanese songs.

People usually study English seriously, but there are obviously far fewer people who study Japanese. He even knows some obscure and uncommon languages, so isn't it normal for him to know some less common ones?
However, it's important to understand that Japanese songs and Chinese songs share many similarities, with a greater emphasis on lyrics.

As for the lyrics of English songs, I can only say that as long as they are listenable, that's fine. They pay more attention to the melody. Whether Yu Wei's song is good or not, you can tell by listening to the melody.

The moment the song unlocked, everyone clicked on it without hesitation. All they heard was a simple guitar strumming in their headphones, the intro as clean as an early winter morning.

A few crisp notes fell, like pebbles thrown into a calm lake, instantly captivating netizens.

"If you miss the train I'm on..."

Yu Wei's voice rang out, calm and slightly hoarse, without any fancy techniques, but like an old friend whispering by the fireplace.

The melody is simple and repetitive, like the rhythm of wheels hitting rails, regular and firm.

“A hundred miles, a hundred miles……”

The numbers are stacking up, and the distances are getting longer.

Everyone closes their eyes, and an image appears before them: a person sits by the window on a train, watching familiar scenery recede, blur, and disappear little by little. The railway tracks stretch into the unseen distance, while home lies in the opposite direction.

Each number is like a nail, pinning those who have left their hometowns to ever greater distances.

When the singer sang "five hundred miles away from home," something in his voice trembled slightly.

It's not hysterical sadness, but a heavy homesickness that only adults can understand, a feeling that weighs heavily on the heart.

Even though it's an English song, the emotions are universal. Everyone understands the complex feelings of a traveler who is "ragged and penniless" and "ashamed to return home."

It's not that I don't want to return, it's that I can't return; it's not that I don't want to turn back, it's that I'm ashamed to turn back.

Success stories only celebrate triumphant return home, but this song gently reveals another reality: many more are still on the road, somewhere 500 miles away, struggling between dreams and reality.

The final verse begins anew, creating a loop with the opening, as if the journey continues, with another 500 miles after 500 miles, and the story of leaving home unfolding every day on different lands.

Good stories all tell the same story...

As the song ends and the last note fades away, a long, lingering resonance remains.

Without a doubt, Yu Wei's song is a very authentic English song. The melody is catchy and the lyrics are easy to understand. They would believe it if you said it was written by a foreigner.

The song is indeed good, but people still can't understand why Yu Wei suddenly released an English song. If it were released as part of an album, the Chinese song would definitely be more popular.

Is it to practice writing English songs and broaden his range of skills?
Just when everyone was puzzled, someone finally finished reading Qi Luoan's latest chapter. Good news! Yu Wei has finally started a new story.

When a popular novel suddenly has a new development, it always sparks a wave of discussion, just like you can find updates to "Against the Gods" anywhere.

The news that Yu Wei had started a new project quickly appeared in the song's comment section, and netizens who had heard the rumors went back to check and found that it was true.

Qi Luoan not only actually arranged a new work, but also introduced the book's title and setting.

Before he turned eleven, Harry Potter always thought he was an ordinary boy, until an owl delivered his acceptance letter to magic school, and he learned that he was a wizard.

He arrived at Hogwarts, learned spells, flew on a broomstick, and made his first friends.

But the shadow of darkness is closing in—Voldemort, the murderer of his parents, has not truly disappeared.

The lightning bolt scar on his forehead began to sting. The Philosopher's Stone, the Chamber of Secrets, dangerous magical creatures... Harry had to face one life-or-death test after another outside of class.

This is a magical epic about love, courage, and growth.

At the end of the chapter, Qi Luoan invited everyone to push open the wall of Platform Nine and Three-Quarters and enter a world full of wonders.

What can I say?

The last book was about solving cases in cherry blossoms, so how come you're suddenly studying magic in Europe? That's quite a leap! When are you going back to the East to cultivate immortality?
Yu Wei's imagination truly opened their eyes. These days, fewer and fewer people are writing Western fantasy, and even online novels are rarely touched by this kind of thing, let alone traditional literature.

Writing fantasy novels now is no different than joining the Nationalist army in 1949...

However, given Yu Wei's popularity, this book is unlikely to flop. Just as everyone was cautiously jumping in, they suddenly felt that this scene looked familiar.

English songs, Western-themed novels—isn't this just a repeat of the recent cherry blossom incident?

So you're going to pave the way with songs first, then sell books like hotcakes? You've already started writing songs to build up the momentum before even releasing the books. Yu Wei is really ruthless.

More than looking forward to the book itself, they were looking forward to the grand spectacle that would unfold in the Western music scene.

Let's do this just to sell books, Yu Wei, take us for one more push! (End of Chapter)
