Reborn as a comedic artist

【ID: Pure Love God of War】: Damn! I want to laugh, but why do I inexplicably want to cry?

This is totally messed up for me... I remembered my dad, he worked on construction sites for twenty years and never complained to me about being tired.

[ID: Angry Bro]: This fat guy is still as sassy and captivating as ever, but I have to admit he's really got some skills!

Holy crap, you really couldn't tell that gold digger was Zhao Yufeng if you didn't look closely! My Valkyrie is starting to go bad... I really envy that fatso, he can actually get a goddess to go crazy with him like this...!

[ID: I am your dog]: Who says it isn't! Give me back my goddess!

I absolutely have to go to the carnival this year and beat that fat bastard to a pulp! He ruined my goddess image, this is an irreconcilable feud!

[ID: Bench Bro's die-hard fan]: Count me in, count me in!

I'm inexplicably missing Bench Guy. Hitting that fat guy was just two words: exhilarating! That feeling of the bench hitting flesh was exactly what made that fat guy the strictest father!

[ID: Art Connoisseur]: Hey, you're all focused on the fat guy and the goddess, am I the only one who noticed the video itself?

The contrast before and after, and the insertion of GG, is truly mesmerizing!

The director is a genius for combining realism and consumerism so seamlessly. The line "Merciful Father, I have entered the land of wealth" is incredibly ironic!

The video is gaining traction and its popularity is rising.

Major marketing accounts sprang into action, capturing clips and adding sensational headlines such as "Shocking! Why is a million-follower internet celebrity carrying bricks on a construction site?", "Valkyrie image collapses? Gold-digging woman's look sparks heated discussion!", and "In the name of wealth, singing the bitterness of the lower class."

Even some official media accounts quietly liked the post and commented: "Life is tough, a salute to those who strive."

.......

But Wang Shuo and Cheng Ming, who were at the center of the storm, didn't even notice all the commotion and noise.

Because the carnival is just around the corner.

This isn't just a simple online video; it's a real offline meet-and-greet. We'll see what it's all about when we put it to the test.

At noon, in the rehearsal room.

Wang Shuo lay sprawled on the floor, his chest heaving violently. His T-shirt, printed with "Hope of the Whole Village," was soaked through and clung tightly to his body.

Wang Shuo, panting heavily, waved his hand and said, "Old Cheng, I can't go on. This is even more tiring than carrying cement. I feel like my lungs are going to explode!"

Cheng Ming sat on the speaker next to him, holding a bottle of mineral water in his hand, and took a swig.

Sweat trickled down his sharply defined jawline and dripped onto his collarbone.

Compared to Wang Shuo's disheveled appearance, he seemed much more composed.

Cheng Ming's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone left no room for doubt: "Hang in there a little longer, and you'll be the first installment of the 'Hui' series, a prime example of donning the imperial robes..."

Cheng Ming's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone left no room for doubt.

As for the three sisters from Shuyin, they are all professionally trained, and after recording the background music, they all went to work on company matters early on.

After all, a studio and a company are not on the same level at all; the entire process, from applying for renovations to other procedures, requires human intervention.

It was already quite remarkable that Gu Xiao was able to come and record the audio with the other two despite their busy schedules.

Moreover, the group will be heading to Shanghai together in two days, and they are currently working overtime to speed up the company's progress, as well as dealing with the upcoming copyright applications for several songs.

"Godfather! We've been queuing for ages...!"

Wang Shuo let out a wail, rolled over, and lay sprawled on the ground like a dead fish: "Even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare to be manipulated like this, and besides, I'm not a professional. For several songs in a row, this is already pretty good...!"

"It's precisely because we're not professionals that we need to practice..."

Cheng Ming stood up, walked over and kicked Wang Shuo's butt: "Don't forget, this is our first official offline appearance. You've been praised so highly online lately, if you mess up, that would be a real 'laughable' situation."

Cheng Mingyi, a player with special abilities, is naturally not to be underestimated, but Wang Shuo, although known for his unusual talent, is struggling to keep up with three songs in a row, each with a distinct style.

However, for the sake of the glory of the singing god and artist, he still groaned and got up.

He also knew that this time was different.

Previously, it was done behind the scenes, with editing and special effects, allowing for retakes.

But on stage, once you start pulling, it's really over.

"Alright, alright, keep practicing! When the carnival comes, if I don't leave those bastards speechless, I'm not a Wang!"

Wang Shuo gritted his teeth, took his position, and assumed a fighting stance.

……

Until evening!

The two finally returned to the studio after finishing their business.

As soon as I pushed open the door, a blast of cold air hit me.

Li Feng, who had been waiting in the studio for a long time, was taking a nap on the sofa when he heard the noise and was suddenly awakened.

"Holy crap, you guys are finally back!"

Li Feng rubbed his sleepy eyes, then, as if remembering something, he suddenly jumped up, pointed at the computer screen, and his expression was extremely interesting:

"It exploded! It completely exploded!"

"What exploded? The gas cylinder exploded?"

Wang Shuo slumped onto the sofa, feeling like his bones were about to fall apart, and replied weakly.

"A video! 'In the Name of the Rich'!"

It used to be Wang Shuo, now it's Li Feng!

He had anticipated the video would go viral!

But such explosive data clearly made him incoherent with excitement, and he immediately shoved his laptop in front of Wang Shuo: "Look for yourselves! How long has it been since it was posted? Less than twenty hours, and it's already got ten million views! Over two million likes! Over four hundred thousand coins! This data is simply unbelievable...!"

Although the data for "The Wind Rises" was good at the time, it was also due to a combination of favorable timing, location, and human factors.

He couldn't even imagine how explosive the video that made him depressed yesterday would be when combined with "In the Name of the Father".

Wang Shuo's eyes, which had been half-closed, widened instantly when he saw the purplish-red numbers on the screen.

He paused for two seconds, then suddenly sat up straight.

In the past, upon seeing such data, he would probably have jumped up and shouted, or even gone out to buy some firecrackers to set off.

But now, after going through so many ups and downs, especially after being "trained" by Cheng Ming for so long.

Looking at the astonishing number of views, Wang Shuo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that was both expected and somewhat smug.

"hey-hey……"

He let out a strange laugh and stroked the stubble on his chin:

"Ten million? That's so-so. After all, with such a brilliant and hardworking lead actor as me, plus that 'pretty face' Lao Zhao as the supporting actor, this figure is reasonable..."

"Not bad, you're much calmer than before. You've learned a little bit of your father's essence..." Cheng Ming, who had already earned 500 art points, came over and teased.

He's no longer focused on view counts, but rather on the sentiment expressed in the comments section.

Most of them were making jokes, expressing their feelings, and paying tribute.

Even the most critical haters could only sourly attack Wang Shuo's appearance in the face of this video. They couldn't find anything to criticize about the video's quality and theme. This was exactly what he wanted!

Seeing that his style was being affirmed, Cheng Ming said softly:

"This is the power of 'empathy.' We wrap the most real pain in the most absurd sugar coating. When they taste it, the sweetness dissipates, and the remaining bitterness becomes even more unforgettable."

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant...!"

Li Feng gave a thumbs up, his face full of admiration: "Old Cheng, this video has not only solidified our position with GG, but also with our participation in the carnival."

Wang Shuo was also excited, as if his fatigue from before had been swept away.

He moved closer to Cheng Ming and grinned slyly:

"Old Cheng, look at the comments section. Everyone's saying they want to come and beat me up, that I ruined their goddess. Do you think we should bring a few more bodyguards? I'm afraid my hundred-pound body won't be enough for them to share."

"What are you afraid of?"

Cheng Ming glanced at him, a half-smile on his face: "The fiercer their criticism, the higher their expectations. These days, audiences say one thing but do another. Besides, it's my turn to draw the fire next..."

Although "In the Name of Wealth" was a huge success, in Cheng Ming's plan, it was just a warm-up.

That's just the tip of the iceberg; now it's time for the real gem to make its appearance.
