[Livestream reservation: The semi-final night of "Top Idol"]
As soon as Yu Wei's live streaming project was announced, social media platforms instantly went wild, and the long-awaited "novel becomes reality" segment finally arrived.

After so much theoretical discussion, readers are starting to get a bit tired of it. What's the point of all the flowery talk in novels? Seeing is believing...

Hey Chovy, you guys better organize the competition already! Fake songs, fake movies, and fake novels have all become real, what's one more fake competition?

As expected, Yu Wei understands what the audience wants to see. The competition has reached its most crucial stage, so if they don't broadcast it now, when will they?

What else is there to say? They can just make an appointment.

In Yu Wei's plan, the semi-final night was divided into two halves: the first half was Qi Yuan vs. Shen Yutong, and the second half was a battle between the natives.

He originally intended to do it in turn, but considering the difference in strength, he decided to let them exchange blows first.

Yes, Yu Wei is going to go all out this time. Before, he was just playing around. This time, he will unleash Zhou Tao at his peak!
Whether the audience can handle the explosive start is unknown, but Qi Yuan and Shen Yutong definitely can't. In order not to undermine their confidence, let's be polite first and then take action.

Qi Yuan and Shen Yutong readily accepted the idea of ​​live-streaming the competition, believing that offline events are the best time to test a singer's abilities, and what's the point of always being a recording studio god?
They were all very confident in their abilities. If they couldn't beat Yu Wei, they thought they could beat him.
Both of them put in their best effort during the live broadcast, only thinking about proving themselves in front of the audience, and getting past each other first before talking about Yu Wei!

What alliance? Even alliances have a leader and a second leader. Isn't it reasonable to decide who is the strongest?
With a week to go before the live broadcast, the two put in a lot of effort to prepare for the stage.

Yu Wei wasn't idle either. As the event organizer, he also had to act as a stand-in for two locals, so his workload only increased.

There's no need to worry about the live streaming. Although "Top Idol" is more of a name than a reality, its popularity is real, and there are plenty of people who want a piece of the pie.

As soon as the news was announced, many brands rushed to become their agents and sponsors. How about singing and drinking some beverages to soothe your throat? Or maybe a live stream with a chance to win a phone? And what about those old microphones that you don't use anymore…

With a studio, Yu Wei no longer needs to handle these trivial matters; he can simply choose a few reputable brands to collaborate with.

Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, he has quite a network of connections, so finding a decent studio wouldn't be difficult for him.

There was no live audience for the live broadcast, so the setup didn't need to be too grand. However, at Yu Wei's request, the staff set up a simple silhouette tent on the stage.

Although everyone knows that the native singer was replaced by Yu Wei, this kind of thing still needs to be respected. The world of anime and manga has its own rules, and it wouldn't be fun if there were no secrets at all.

When the time comes, we'll sing through a curtain, and everyone will just turn a blind eye.

In fact, Yu Wei could have easily arranged for "lip-syncing," pre-recording the performance and playing it with one click, but after thinking it over, he still felt that it wasn't sincere enough.

Hertz has something to say about making so many people listen to a recording on an empty stage... Playing around is fine, but you can't fool the audience.

The screen is not only the boundary between virtual and reality, but also the unspoken understanding between Yu Wei and the audience, which is indispensable.

Yu Wei originally thought of inviting a few real mentors to make the show more authentic, but ultimately did not do so.

It's not that there's anything wrong with doing this, it's just that this lineup naturally has to be saved for the finals. The semi-finals were already broadcast live, so why can't tickets be sold for the finals?
As for the song selection for the competition, Yu Wei wasn't nervous at all. He was going all out, so he wouldn't choose anything mediocre.

Let's not call it a battle of the century, but at least it'll give the stagnant Chinese music scene a shock. The real competition is just beginning.

The stage wasn't a big problem; what really put Yu Wei under pressure was something else entirely: writing...

No matter how much the fake competition is made to look real, "Top Idol" is still a novel plot. Does the novel stop updating just because there's a live stream? The novel is Yu Wei's foundation. Everyone says that the novel is reflecting reality, so there's no reason to let the live stream happen first and then add plot details later.

This raises a big question: the competition format changes rapidly, so how can you write it down without watching the competition?
The update can't be late, and we can't make up the competition content in advance, so there's only one solution: write while the competition is in progress.

Writing while livestreaming is where Yu Wei feels the most pressure. Writing two chapters in such a short time is faster than even an octopus could do.

The episode that will truly test your hand speed, will be broadcast live and the new chapter will air simultaneously...

Yu Wei certainly wouldn't just wait idly; he would at least redeem the song in advance, as he would need the accompaniment and arrangement, and he could write the plot for the second half of the story ahead of time.

He couldn't predict the future of Shen Yutong and Qi Yuan's performances, so he could only write about what they would sing on stage.

The arrangement of the two songs was not complicated. Yu Wei also took the opportunity to keep track of the filming progress of the movie. A week passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time for the semi-finals.

When Yu Wei arrived, the stage had already been set up, with a large 4K high-definition LED screen as the main backdrop, which was currently displaying the event logo and match information.

It must have been tough on the studio; they even designed a poster titled "Top Idol".

"Why are the organizers so late? Aren't they worried about us getting refunds?!"

No guests were invited to this live stream, but some people couldn't resist the urge to watch the drama unfold. As soon as the battle between Qi Yuan and Zhang Lingye was mentioned, all the viewers who were free came over.

However, the group was deeply divided on gender, with the girls, led by Qi Luoan, siding with Shen Yutong, while Zhang Lingye and Fei Hong naturally favored their own brother.

"Qi Yuan wants to bump his head against Yu Tong's shoe again."

When her best friend and brother were competing, Qi Luoan knew in a second who to choose. Yu Tong had already advanced by eating the Fate Blood Bun, so what's wrong with eating a little more?
"To put it bluntly, although Lao Yuan is bad, he can easily beat Shen Yutong."

Actually, Zhang Lingye and the others favored Shen Yutong more, but given the current atmosphere, could they really boost her morale and diminish their own?

Winning against the boys' team is awesome, losing to Qi Yuan is a disgrace to the boys, so they don't lose anything.

Qi Yuan and Shen Yutong were getting their makeup done backstage, completely unaware that their friends were making fun of them. If they knew, they would have said something, but instead, a bunch of eliminated contestants were being called out.

"Wait, what are you doing with the computer?"

Qi Luoan quickly noticed Yu Wei's strange behavior. He didn't need makeup to sing behind the curtain, but wasn't it going too far to openly pull out a laptop and start a game in the audience?

"You're supposed to be on stage, so isn't it a bit disrespectful to your opponent to just type while they're singing?"

It's impossible for the live broadcast camera to be fixed on the stage. What if it captures Yu Weiduo "writing furiously" in the audience? Is that the confidence of a strong person?
Yu Wei had already planned for this; he wasn't writing anything, he was taking notes!
"This is how I show respect for my opponent, okay? My opponent is too strong, I have to watch and learn carefully. Can't you see I'm sweating with nervousness?"

With a formidable enemy at hand, I'm drenched in sweat...

Qi Luo'an didn't even want to expose him. Why was he nervous about beating two little karaomis? He was probably laughing like crazy at the thought of crushing a noob.

Are you nervous? Are you just anxious because you can't finish typing? (End of Chapter)
