My performance on a breakup reality show brought Tien Hsi-wei to tears, and I became an internet sen

Chapter 88 Denies My Book?

The judging panel consists of 7 people.

Wang Fei, the undisputed queen of the Chinese music scene, rarely makes public appearances these days; she's someone that even major programs might not be able to invite, no matter how much money they offer.

As for the remaining six, they can basically be invited as long as the price is right, since they are all variety show personalities.

Xue Ziqian and Da Zhangwei are both known as comedians in the music industry. Xue Ziqian is relatively more serious and sometimes shows extra support for the music he likes.

EIle is a member of a girl group and is good at creating a lively atmosphere on variety shows.

As for Ding Dasheng and Ke Yimin, these two are standard features in many music variety shows.

Ding Dasheng is notorious for his tendency to flatter the powerful and belittle the weak. As a music critic, he often resorts to personal insults.

He was responsible for things like making a famous female singer cry.

His record is verifiable, but there are too many cases to list.

As for Ke Yimin, she loves to teach others to sing and show off their skills. She is very harsh on the contestants on stage, uses vulgar language, and tells contestants to get out, etc. These are all things she said.

Her most notable online incident in recent years was when she went live to teach others to sing, but many of the viewers who joined the live stream suddenly started swearing and ran away after singing a few lines.

Netizens applauded and praised the participants, calling them heroes.

Therefore, these two individuals have a netizen approval rating of basically zero.

The reason why various music variety shows invite these two is to generate buzz for the show.

The purpose of "The King of Singers" is the same. Many of the masked singers on stage are big names. If the judging panel were to fawn over and fawn over the singers on stage, it would be boring.

As for Zhang Xiaoxiao, he's just a nobody in the entertainment industry, barely passable as a host.

As the center of the judging panel and the host of the show, Wang Fei is responsible for controlling the pace and cuing the flow of the program, but she doesn't like to talk much and isn't good at it.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoxiao's function is to assist Wang Fei.

However, his hosting style has some flaws; he's particularly attention-seeking and his expressions are exaggerated.

So, besides assisting Wang Fei in hosting, he also gave unsolicited and mediocre comments on the masked singers' performances.

He commented on the singers' performances more than Xue Ziqian and the others, desperately trying to make his presence felt!

As for his scandals—they are varied, numerous, and not trivial.

Da Zhangwei joked, "Teacher Ding did a great job today."

Ding Dasheng leaned back in his chair and reviewed his performance that day.

He criticized the performance of "The Next Dawn" as a "car crash", angrily accusing the singer of disrespecting the stage and criticizing Li Shen for giving bad guidance. Ding Dasheng felt that he performed well.

As for 66, she was not spared either. He criticized her lyrics as pretentious and self-indulgent, and said that her lyrics were of no quality.

Two of the other five singers were also attacked.

Ding Dasheng said, "I'm the kind of person who always gets straight to the point and speaks the truth!"

Da Zhangwei: "There is someone on the internet who, like you, speaks the truth incisively, and that person is Li Shen."

Why is it that Li Shen has fans all over the internet, while you have haters all over the internet?

Ding Dasheng lamented, "Perhaps I've stirred up a hornet's nest among celebrities!"

As everyone was chatting, from the corner of the stage, someone came on stage to talk about "Living with a Female Celebrity".

The judging panel was immediately dumbfounded.

"That's a pretty erotic name!"

"What does this mean?"

"My gossipy nature is getting the better of me."

Li Shen approached the judging panel.

The voice changer in his helmet was switched to a little girl's voice: "Hello everyone, I'm [Days of Living with a Female Celebrity]!"

Xue Ziqian: "We're very curious about your name. Is it a tribute to the days you and your girlfriend spent together?"

Li Shen shook his head: "No."

"Isn't this your life experience?"

"no."

"Damn, you're not here to endorse some artistic work, are you?"

"Yes," Li Shen replied succinctly.

The panel of judges thought about it and realized that it was easy to guess.

It's highly likely that this singer sang the theme song for a TV series or movie, and then came to the show to promote his song.

"Is your name a theme song from some movie or TV show?"

"no."

"Could this be the name of a movie or TV show?"

"Yes, that's right."

The group exchanged glances; none of them had ever heard of this TV series.

"Excuse me for being frank, but I've never heard of this TV series or movie. Could you please tell me about it?"

"cannot."

"Why? A confidentiality period? But a confidentiality period doesn't make sense either. Why are you here promoting something during a confidentiality period?"

"Because the original novel of the same name as this TV series is still being serialized and has not yet been adapted into a TV series."

Everyone: "???"

Da Zhangwei asked in confusion, "The novel hasn't even been adapted into a film or television series yet, so how can you be so sure it will be? Also, why did you give this novel a 'GG' rating?"

"Because I wrote this novel."

Wow!

A murmur of discussion arose from the audience!

The audience was completely stunned.

Singer, novelist?

These are completely different tracks!

Zhang Xiaoxiao: "You, a singer, are writing novels? That's completely crossing over into another industry! You dare to boast that your novel will definitely be adapted into a film or television series? Where does your confidence come from?"

"you."

Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Me?"

"If a TV host dares to comment on a singer's singing skills, what's wrong with me, a professional writer, believing my work will definitely be adapted into a film or television series?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao's face darkened: "————"

Da Zhangwei: "Wait a minute, you said you're a professional writer? Aren't you a professional singer?"

"No, I'm a professional writer and a side singer."

Everyone was confused by Li Shen's words, unsure whether he was telling the truth or lying.

"So, what is your purpose in coming here?"

Book recommendation.

"But this is a stage for competing to become the King of Singers."

"Oh, then I'll also win the title of King of Singers while I'm at it."

Bullet comments:

[Huh? He's such a braggart?]

That's pretty arrogant!

[By the way? Is this your "King of Singers"? By the way?]

This guy's got a knack for it; he's probably going to go viral!

Does a book titled "Living with a Female Celebrity" really exist? I'll go look it up!

The panel of judges exchanged bewildered glances. Who is this? What a boastful tone!

However, the masked singers were used to talking nonsense, so no one paid much attention.

Xue Ziqian: "So, what story does your book tell?"

"The male protagonist, Lu Fei, meets a female celebrity, Ran Jing, by chance."

As Li Shen was speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Zhang Xiaoxiao.

Zhang Xiaoxiao pointed his phone screen at the camera.

On the phone screen, the homepage of the Qidian app, titled "The Days of Living with a Female Celebrity," is displayed.

[Author]: Xingmang;

[Work]: 1;

Status: Not yet signed;

[Number of words]: 6 words;

[Collection]: 318;

[Vote]: 2087;

When the data on "Living with a Female Celebrity" appeared on the live stream, netizens stared at the data without blinking.

[Can't even get a contract signed?]

That's it?

[With only 300+ favorites, how dare they call themselves an author?]

However, online novel readers became very interested after seeing this data.

Because they know that on the Qidian platform, for new authors and new books, without a contract, and excluding fan fiction which attracts a lot of readers, updating to 6 words without inflating data will normally only get twenty or thirty favorites.

The current recommendation system doesn't give any traffic to unsigned works.

This book, with 60,000 words, garnered over 300 favorites, ten times the number of a normal book, and its recommendation votes were even more astonishing.

If this book wasn't fabricated, then it's actually highly regarded by readers.

Therefore, book-loving viewers were all intrigued.

[Holy crap, this is amazing! I'm going to read it!]

Let me tell you, if this data isn't manipulated, it's absolutely incredible!

-

[I've found another seedling; I'll add it to my favorites right now.]

[Zhang Xiaoxiao is such a good person! If she hadn't shown this data, I wouldn't have bothered searching for the book just because of its title!]

Zhang Xiaoxiao was afraid that the bleak data wasn't jarring enough, so she specifically instructed the photographer: "Make sure the shot is clear."

Putting away her phone, Zhang Xiaoxiao said, "So, writer Xingmang, how many fans do you have to call yourself a writer?"

""

Xue Ziqian and Da Zhangwei exchanged a smile. They understood that the masked singer had just criticized Zhang Xiaoxiao, and Zhang Xiaoxiao was holding a grudge and wanted to get back at him.

Zhang Xiaoxiao's expressions were exaggerated; under the guise of creating variety show effects, she was criticizing Li Shen.

Li Shen raised his finger and pointed casually in the air a few times, humming, "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are!"

Li Shen paused, then pointed to 66, who was sitting on the throne of the King of Singers.

The jib camera gave a close-up of 66's glittering star helmet.

Xue Ziqian said excitedly, "You mean, everyone will become a fan of your Starlight, just like the stars in the sky?"

Li Shen: "On this stage, please call me 'The Days of Living with a Female Celebrity,' and please, Teacher Xue, don't let it affect my book promotion."

"Okay, haha."

Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "I just glanced at the beginning. Was your book, 'Living with a Female Celebrity,' written with AI?"

Some viewers watching the live stream were already preparing to search for the book, but their hands immediately stopped when they heard the word "AI".

What's the point of watching AI-generated works?

Zhang Ruonan, who was getting her makeup done in the film crew's dressing room, was also watching the live stream. Upon hearing this, she slammed her hand on the table in anger.

She disliked him ever since she learned about his 80s incident, and now she disliked him even more.

She snapped, "I finally got to promote my work, don't sabotage it! What nonsense are you spouting? This is slander! Zhang Xiaoxiao, you're so annoying!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao then asked, "To hide your identity as a singer, you specifically used AI to create a book, disguising yourself as an author?"

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that Zhang Xiao's words were not without merit.

Li Shen frowned: "AI writing books is not feasible right now. I can tell you responsibly that the content of long novels generated by AI right now is just like what teachers say on some TV shows—utter nonsense."

Zhang Xiaoxiao's face instantly darkened!
