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

"Keep fooling yourself, that's enough for a simple life."

Netizens found joy in teasing the characters from the novel, but couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, wishing these fictional characters actually existed...

They may not be as good as international musicians, but at least they can bring life to the stagnant Chinese music scene and give it a new lease on life.

While deceiving others, aren't they also deceiving themselves...?

The vast entertainment industry can't be shouldered by Yu Wei alone. If all these people appeared at the same time, what a thriving scene it would be!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little regretful. After all, the natives in the novel were just natives, and they could only dream about it.

Just as netizens were sighing and planning to continue teasing Sakura for amusement, a picture suddenly appeared in the comments section.

The man above was wearing a black baseball cap with the brim pulled low, almost covering half of his eyes. Thick bangs fell from under the brim, slightly obscuring his forehead.

His single-eyelid eyes, gleaming with a focused yet slightly aloof gaze beneath the shadow of his hat, gave him an inexplicably flamboyant air.

If you had to describe the young people in the picture in one word, it would be "spirited and full of vigor."

The picture appeared so suddenly that people who saw it thought it was a typo, a classic case of accidentally posting a selfie. Jiahao, right...?

"This is not me, it is Zhou Mulun."

You post photos that aren't yours, huh? That's so rude.

Wait, who is it?

Seeing the familiar name, everyone even had the illusion of "I'm going to open the box," but they quickly realized that Zhou Mulun didn't exist at all, so what kind of box was he opening...?

"It's probably generated by AI. You know what, it really does look like the image I imagined when I was reading the book."

"He's not exactly handsome, but he has a lot of charisma. He seems very real, not like an AI."

"Who told you to post my photo? (doge emoji)"

It does fit the character's persona, but Zhou Mulun is a virtual character after all. Where would such a photo come from? It's best to avoid posting pictures of unknown origin to prevent misleading our own people.

"Who said it came from an unknown source? Yu Wei posted it himself."

This character image of Zhou Mulun was posted by Yu Wei in the comments section of "Nunchucks". Because it was from a chapter a few days ago, not many netizens have noticed it yet.

Online novels are highly real-time, especially popular ones. Earlier chapters were less popular, and he only realized this because he was behind the majority of readers in his book reading.

Did Yu Wei post this himself? Is it real or fake?
Unaware of the truth, netizens revisited the site and opened the chapter from a few days ago, only to find that they actually saw the picture posted by Yu Wei.

The author's certification is very conspicuous, and this cannot be faked. Obviously, this is Zhou Mulun's appearance as personally certified by Yu Wei.

The sudden appearance of the talented singer in the novel as a real person caused quite a stir, leaving everyone a little uneasy.

It can only be said that Yu Wei is too versatile. Not only does the native singer have his own personal style, but he has even drawn character illustrations.

He still loves his characters too much. If other authors were like Yu Wei, readers would be laughing in their sleep.

With such detailed settings, it's enough to make an independent worldview, let alone a novel.

Compared to Yu Wei's seriousness, they were more surprised by his imagination. How did he manage to imagine each character so vividly? This picture of Zhou Mulun perfectly matches most readers' imagination when reading the book, especially in terms of temperament, which is captured very well.

Although there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes, the one who understands the character best is always the author, and that has to be Yu Wei.

After being amazed by the vividness of the "character illustration," netizens promptly used it to deceive their daily lives. Zhou Mulun is a real person, and there is photographic evidence to prove it!

They are well aware of the principles of deception. They know they can't do this too deliberately, or it will arouse suspicion. So they have to present it unintentionally, for example, by using this picture as their profile picture.

As a result, a group of "music lovers" using this picture as their profile picture appeared on foreign websites that day and became very active.

Yu Wei's actions were not simply about providing a character image. With AI being so advanced these days, people can use this face to design all sorts of everyday photos.

In this way, the details of Zhou Mulun's life will become more and more abundant, and even if the Sakura people climb over the wall to search, they will not be able to find any flaws.

Netizens have come up with a lot of fan art, some of which are so realistic that even Yu Wei herself can't tell the difference.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he'd traveled back in time...

If they are like this, then those netizens next door who have less access to information are even more confused.

After "accidentally" seeing various photos of Zhou Mulun's daily life, the Sakura crowd completely believed in the existence of this person.

Mulun's been a real foodie this week; he even sneaks a bite of instant noodles...

While Chinese netizens were trolling Xiao Rizi, they didn't forget to make some tough remarks, saying that they could have as many musicians as Zhou Mulun as they wanted!
All the characters were created by Yu Wei, so there are as many as you want, right?

Of course, some netizens also expressed their fervent hopes: Zhou Mulun's character illustrations are already out, so how far behind will the other characters be? The author can't show favoritism!

Every time Yu Wei draws one, they'll post it on foreign websites, and sooner or later people will think that the Chinese music scene is full of talent...

The speed at which they scam people depends on how quickly Yu Wei releases character illustrations. As long as Yu Wei releases them quickly, they can concoct a whole new world of entertainment!
"The artist has made a fortune this time."

Sister Liu found a really good artist. Yu Wei decided to ask him again next time. He has quite a few famous singers in his memory. If he draws them one by one, he might be able to make a living.

It just goes to show that everyone has their own expertise; that's how Shi Qiang drew Zhuang Yan based on Luo Ji's description...

He was naturally describing Jay Chou at his peak, when he was full of vigor and truly deserved the title of "top-tier".

His condition declined significantly afterward, and his paintings just didn't have the same feel to them.

As for who to draw next, Yu Wei hasn't decided yet. He's already impatient to show everyone David Tao's bizarre side-swept bangs.

Although netizens were eager to see what these characters looked like, they surprisingly didn't urge them this time. After all, everyone understands that designing a character is not easy, especially a character with a distinct personality.

Zhou Mulun appeared a long time ago, but he only got his own unique image now. Other characters will probably have to wait a while.

They would rather wait longer than see homogenization; it's better to differentiate between characters.

I don't expect everyone to have a unique look, but at least I should be able to tell who's who, so it's easier for everyone to distinguish them.

Netizens don't have high expectations; they just hope that Yu Wei can accumulate inspiration faster and design a second novel character as soon as possible.

Little did they know that Yu Wei was very familiar with the place, and behind him was a sea of ​​people. (End of Chapter)
