Chapter 75 I'm Not a Villain in the Entertainment Industry

There were no competitions in "Music Blind Box," but the audience's eyes were sharp...

Even if Meng Han and the taxi driver's performance hadn't started yet, the best song of this episode would definitely be "Under the Flying Clouds".

Putting aside the bonus of originality, Yu Wei and Qi Luoan's performance was also perfect. They had excellent singing skills, great teamwork, and even good looks.

"Absolutely amazing, Brother Yu."

Meng Han clapped and stood up, giving Yu Wei an extremely high evaluation of the song, saying that his creative talent and singing level were perfectly demonstrated in "Under the Flying Clouds".

Coupled with their seamless teamwork, the song's initial performance was nothing short of phenomenal, something that would be difficult for any other duo to surpass.

There's a kind of beauty in numbers...

Yu Wei waved his hand modestly, but a more practical question was on his mind: he and his son were the same age, so was it inappropriate for him to call him "brother"?

"This song must have been tailor-made for us."

Even the habitually silent Jiang Li took the initiative to start talking. Yu Wei's song was not adapted for a single song; both the lyrics and the arrangement were clearly created for a chorus.

The starting point was a song for a duet. Qi Luoan was not only the lead singer, but the style of the song was also extremely compatible with her timbre. Even the vocal range was taken into consideration. Isn't this tailor-made?
Jiang Li's reminder made the others realize that while both of them were indeed singers in the song, Yu Wei was only using high notes and musical skills to enhance the work, clearly playing a supporting role.

The fact that a rising star in music could play a supporting role, with the female vocalist perfectly suited to the role, makes it seem like a perfect fit.
If Qi Luoan hadn't been completely unable to sing the high notes at the beginning, she would have almost believed it herself. At first, she even suspected that Yu Wei was deliberately trying to trick her, but now it seems like it was tailor-made for her.

After the guest said that, she was a little confused. Could it be that Yu Weizhen specially created this song because he was thinking of her?

Logically, she absolutely wouldn't believe it, but Yu Wei just said she was the Bluebird...

How could it be tailor-made? Yu Wei is just a conveyor of excellent music. He may have taken Qi Luoan's voice into account when selecting songs, but that's all.

Looking for answers to questions is bound to be appropriate.

Jiang Li looked at Qi Luoan with envy in his eyes. It was one thing for him not to have the talent to write songs, but how come he had been working in the entertainment industry for so long and still couldn't find anyone willing to write songs for him?
We'll have to compete with these talented players.

He was somewhat relieved that he was just a guest star who would only film one episode and then leave; if he had been subjected to Yu Wei's "talent bullying" every day, he would have gone crazy.

Su Xinnan's comments were even more outrageous, sparing no praise whatsoever, extolling Yu Wei to the skies, practically ready to kneel on one knee on stage and shout, "You are my god!"

"Sister Nan, it's not that bad."

She dared to praise Yu Wei so much that he wouldn't even dare to admit it. After the show aired, he would be written into Huayu as a villain, and the protagonist would rush over shouting "Kill Yu the dog, steal the goddess!"

The final performance was an agricultural heavy metal rock show by Meng Han and a taxi driver. As soon as the two started singing, Yu Wei couldn't hold back and started speaking in dialect.

Meng Han almost completely overturned and reconstructed one of his old songs, not only adapting it into dialect but also adding many popular elements.

Yu Wei could even hear the hum of an engine in the music. The dialect rock was incredibly exciting, and the atmosphere was electric. If it weren't for "Under the Flying Clouds," their group might have been the best today.

The show concluded with a high-energy rock performance, without any emotional appeals or sentimental appeals, leaving only the musical stories behind the four songs.

Yu Wei only breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the director shout "That's a wrap!" He had recorded three episodes of variety shows before, but this was definitely the most stressful one yet.

There are no weak contestants in music competitions, especially Meng Han, who has the talent of a singing champion. You should know that he only made this adaptation of dialect rock with a playful attitude, but the quality is still amazing.

These established musicians, when they get serious, can absolutely create amazing music that can't be surpassed with just one or two songs.

Flowing water doesn't compete to be first, but to flow endlessly; plants don't compete to be tall, but to thrive continuously. The importance of accumulation cannot be ignored.

After recording the show, Yu Weigang was about to leave when Su Xinnan stopped him and added him on WeChat. Qi Luoan, who was watching from the side, found it inexplicably funny.

I feel like I'm not far from seeing Yu Wei in an entertainment novel... Fast forward to "Hua Yu: Starting with Hijacking Yu Wei".

Maybe it already exists.

Qi Luoan simply opened the novel app and started searching. There were no new books by Yu Wei yet, but there were already some plagiarized works like "Heart Wall," and the rating system also had a few.

Online novels are a huge trend, and you have to be quick to jump on the bandwagon. Those who are quick get the rewards, while those who are slow become the readers' meal.

It's still that kind of substitute for posting "not as good as XXX" in book clubs; those who learn from others live, those who imitate others die. "Oh, there's another one that imitates you, a plagiarist's novel with original content." Seeing Yu Wei come over, Qi Luo'an casually showed off his new discovery, "I just don't know if he can learn it to the end and actually release the song."

"Hard to say."

The world is full of wonders. What if a talented but unappreciated musician is inspired by this and starts writing and marketing a book?
However, it's not impossible for internet celebrities and their studios to collaborate on hype. The studio's Wen Gaga writes a book, and the internet celebrity's Ge Henhen releases a song, which can be considered as forming a self-producing and self-selling profit chain.

The recording of the next episode is in three days, giving Yu Wei some buffer time, which also allows him to handle his cooperation with the game company.

The final competition of the novel "Singer-Songwriter" should be served up soon, with the protagonist winning the championship through sheer strength in the fierce competition.

As for Qi Luoan, her mission is complete after filming the show; it's time for her to return to her school life...

"Do you think I can ever go back?"

With a music video, a short film, and this highly anticipated show, even if Qi Luoan doesn't debut, she'll definitely generate a lot of buzz.

Without capital manipulation, these things might be minor ripples in the entertainment industry, but these ripples are enough to stir up waves in her peaceful campus life.

"If we can't go back, we won't go back. We'll eat and drink as usual."

"really."

Qi Luoan really didn't care about this. She had experienced both fame and obscurity, so she didn't feel any psychological pressure.

There's no need to romanticize the path she didn't take; she knows what she gained...

"You're really a big-game player, your ability to control the situation is so strong."

This was probably what surprised Yu Wei the most. The other three amateur contestants were lucky to perform at 70-80% of their usual level under pressure, but Qi Luoan was amazing, he just unleashed his full potential.

Yu Wei didn't believe her stage presence was something she'd never experienced before.

"I am not very talented, but I did perform on the Spring Festival Gala when I was twelve years old, which was my birth year."

Qi Luoan spoke casually, his words calm and even somewhat self-deprecating, but to Yu Wei, it sounded rather frightening.

That's twelve years old. The Spring Festival Gala invites a lot of celebrities, but how many teenagers in the whole country can appear on the Spring Festival Gala? They're all guests in their birth year, definitely not extras or backup dancers.

That's quite impressive of a qualification.

"I was blind to your greatness, but I hope you will forgive my mistake and help me out in the future."

"What kind of support? It's just the legacy of our ancestors."

Qi Luoan was a little embarrassed to talk about this. No matter how talented he was, his level at twelve years old was just so-so. To put it bluntly, wasn't it all about the power of connections?
The prestige of an entertainment family...

No, the word "Yu Yin" is not appropriate for a living person. Qi Luo'an's other direct relatives are still alive. Yu Wei frowned and quickly thought of the only suspect.

"Who is your grandfather?"

"Chen Ping."

No wonder he's a legend. Yu Wei suddenly felt that everything made sense. He had been wondering what kind of ancestral legacy could have such a great influence. So it was him.

It's not uncommon for grandfathers and grandsons to have different surnames, so he never considered that possibility. Who knew that Old Qi, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually a son-in-law living with his wife's family?

“He’s not a son-in-law. In those days, many people starved to death. My father was all alone and was adopted by my grandparents, so he’s considered half a son.”

Qi Luoan will still maintain the image of Old Qi when she goes out. The word "son-in-law" sounds so awkward. People who don't know her might think that her father is a gigolo.

"Good good."

Yu Wei stared at Qi Luoan for a long time without saying a word.

He was wondering where the missing character "安" (an, meaning peace or safety) from the old man's writing had gone, and now he realized it had fallen into this position.
