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

Chapter 5 Where am I supposed to get so many follow-up readings?

What have you been doing all this time, acting so mysteriously?

In the eyes of his teammates, Yu Wei had always been someone who didn't take his job seriously, but these past few days he'd been far too irresponsible...

She doesn't practice dancing or singing, and all she does is type on her phone all the time. Does chatting really require typing so many words?
"Nothing."

Can I talk about writing a book to others? Of course not!

Before, Yu Wei had been a flop for so long, and no more than three people around him knew that he wrote online novels, and even those who knew about it didn't know the titles of his books.

It wasn't that he was being distant; it's just that there's really no need to talk about this industry outside of it. It's troublesome to have people who don't understand online novels asking all sorts of questions, and if someone keeps talking about it, it will attract other people to ask questions as well.

Some people are fine; they just want to join in the fun and see what he writes. But some people always feel that there are some tricks to writing novels and want him to teach them.

If this thing were easy to teach, why would there be so many failures?

Yu Wei is a complete failure, let alone someone who can teach others. Besides, his writing is garbage, and he's too embarrassed to let others see it, so he simply keeps quiet.

"Don't bother asking. I think this kid is probably in a relationship and chatting and exchanging sweet nothings with his girlfriend."

Zhang Lingye chuckled twice, and before Yu Wei could explain, he teased, "Being in love is great, we're really envious..."

His words undoubtedly struck a nerve with the group. Boy band idols rely on their youth for their careers, and if they dared to date, they would probably be torn apart by their female fans!
Not only will fans stop them from dating, but companies won't allow it either. They spend so many resources packaging their idols, and if their relationships are exposed, it's all for nothing.

Some people do keep their relationships secret from their superiors and subordinates, but if they hide it too well, it's really no different from online dating...

Yu Wei is lukewarm, but this also gives him freedom in his love life, something they genuinely envy; they feel like they're doing something sneaky just to go on a date.

"No way, even couples don't type this frequently when they chat."

Qi Yuan frowned and thought for a moment, "The way his fingers are flying around makes it seem like he's talking to two or three people at the same time and can't keep up..."

Yu Wei is indeed too busy to keep up with his daily life as a "sea king," but he's busy writing, not raising fish.

"It's Yuan Shen who truly understands."

Qi Yuan is the most successful among them, having not only acted in blockbuster films but also having two ancient costume dramas awaiting release.

Let alone RUIKO1, even in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, he is the most popular male idol of his generation.

The phrase "fate is divine" is truly fitting.

Of course, Yu Wei never calls him that, because every time he gets the words on the tip of his tongue, he thinks of an open-world adventure game.

During a break from rehearsals, Yu Wei returned to the dance studio to continue writing. Time was tight, and he hoped to get the song by today.

The latest chapter of the Chinese entertainment scoring guru: the awards ceremony night has finally reached the "Lowest Score Artist of the Year" award segment.

The male protagonist calmly accepted the trophy, a symbol of humiliation, and began his performance.

Before this song, this trophy was a dark chapter in his history, but after this song, this trophy became a symbol of his journey!

"The Wall of the Heart" has officially debuted.

In fact, Yu Wei did a pretty good job of setting the atmosphere in this chapter, and the emotions were there, so it should be considered a minor climax.

But readers are clearly too busy to follow the plot right now, because after the new chapter was updated, they realized that "Heart Wall" was not a typo...

This is a song they've never heard before!
A fiction author who writes his own songs? Is he even human?
"Poison! Extremely poisonous! Run!"

"They labeled themselves as plagiarists, then wrote their own songs to lure people in and then killed them."

"A genius songwriter, if you're so good at writing songs, why don't you become a top producer? Your song 'Heart Wall' made me want to vomit for no reason."

"My goodness, God of Songs, it's such a waste of your talent to write books."

"Have you ever been a celebrity? How can you write things randomly and make assumptions?"

Hate lasts longer than love. There were more negative reviews today than yesterday, and the insults were more intense. One reader even kept attacking him, sending several insults in a row, as if he was about to be devoured alive.

This really isn't the readers' fault. There are so many writers of entertainment articles, but very few are like him who directly create their own works to include in the content.

Even if there is plagiarism, others clearly state that it is not plagiarized. But for a novel like his that starts out as obviously plagiarized and then suddenly becomes self-indulgent, readers can't even avoid it.

Why didn't Yu Wei make this clear in the introduction?

Nonsense! If it's marked up, who would click to read it? How many readers are there who aren't plagiarizing? If nobody reads it, wouldn't it be a complete flop?
Even if he gets scolded to the point of being unable to take care of himself, he still has to accumulate enough data.

Besides, he didn't lie to the readers. From his perspective, this is just plagiarism for entertainment, and he didn't write the song.

It's okay, I'll just have to endure it for a few more days. They'll forgive me after they hear this song... Yu Wei plans to finish writing the "Heart Wall" part of the story today in one go, so that these readers can keep cursing and cursing as much as they want!

He's not a masochist, of course. He's just worried that these readers will abandon the book after reading it and leave. What will happen to the novel's data then?
I have to keep updating to draw their attention while they're still angry; I'm not afraid of being criticized, I'm afraid of not being criticized at all...

When writing a song scene in a literary novel, it's still necessary to include a couple of lines of lyrics. This serves two purposes: firstly, to follow the script verbatim, and secondly, to help the reader connect with the story.

However, lyrics shouldn't be quoted too much. After all, it's a novel, and directly copying several pages of lyrics to pad the word count would be going too far.

There's a wall in your heart.
But I found a window
Occasionally, a sliver of warm, faint light would shine through.
He remembered the lyrics of the song quite clearly, so he simply added them into the text, making it feel like a literary novel.

After the song ends, the focus should be on describing the audience's expressions and feelings; this is where the thrill of entertainment novels lies.

In addition to shock and surprise, the audience should ideally experience a lingering, unsettling feeling, giving the entire performance a sense of profound meaning beyond words...

"finally!"

After finishing writing the performance plot, Yu Wei felt completely enlightened. Of course, it wasn't the overwhelming feeling of completing a creative work, but rather the relief of having finished a heavy workload.

There's no need to gild his lily; doesn't he know the level of his writing himself?
Yu Wei was fine when he stopped, but as soon as he stopped, he felt soreness in his back and neck, his hands were stiff, and his joints were numb.

I really want to squeeze something big, soft, and bouncy to soothe my tired hands...

For example, plush toys or the like.

He didn't even bother to stretch his muscles; instead, he immediately opened the system panel after the new chapter was released.

[Entertainment Industry Master System]

[Host: Yu Wei]

[Linked to novel: Why Do Celebrities Always Care About Ratings?]

[Literary Work within the Novel: "The Wall of the Heart"]

[Redemption Requirements: Chapter 10 must have more than 100 readers.]

[Available for redemption: None]

[Works redeemed: None]

Clearly, "Heart Wall" had met the requirements for being accepted as a work, but when Yu Wei saw the data requirements, he felt like he was dying.

One hundred reads may not sound like much, but for a new book that has just been added to the library, that number is astronomical.

This book only has 67 favorites right now, so how could a hundred readers possibly see the latest chapter...?

When it flopped, it didn't even have 100 reads until it was fully loaded into the database. Now that it's just been loaded, it dares to ask for 100 reads. When it's finally released, it'll need 100 million first-time subscriptions!

"I'm a complete flop, and my new book isn't even getting any support from my old readers. Are you trying to mess with me like this?"

"Where am I supposed to find so many things to read?"

When a big name like Ren releases a new book, the number of readers who rush to the event can be as large as an army of gods, so naturally, there's no need to worry about such issues.

But he's just a flop; let alone a hundred readers, even fifty would be a stretch.

With the song so close at hand, he wished he could create a hundred alternate accounts overnight to stream it to him...

Of course, that doesn't count.

Yu Wei wanted to see how much he still needed, but when he clicked on it, he found that his collection had increased to 53.

He only updated one chapter, and more than a dozen people deleted his book.

The person adding a bookmark might be a bot, but the one removing it from the bookshelf is definitely a real person, and someone who actually reads the book; if they get angry, they'll just run away...

House seemingly endless rain.

The data was already far off, and now there are ten fewer. How are people supposed to live like this?
"I was wrong, please come back."

"Come back and keep scolding me, I was really wrong."

He didn't know he was wrong; he knew he was going to die.

If readers who deleted the book saw this, they would surely say something unspoken:
“As if!”
