I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

Since we're going to cooperate, we can't just talk the talk in the group chat.

Cheng Che is a man of action, especially when there's something fun to be had, he'll take action like crazy.

That afternoon, he started his live-streaming writing session as usual.

In the Dragon 3 storyline, the trio of ace hosts have now perfectly adapted to their identities as male prostitutes, with Caesar and Chu Zihang even developing their own unique ways of being male prostitutes.

Meanwhile, the Snake Clan launched a fierce attack on the Demon Clan, and the Paradise Hall was under attack and on the verge of destruction...

Before evening arrived, it was already the time when Cheng Che usually ended his live stream.

The comments section was already filled with "Goodbye" and "Play a little longer".

For once, Cheng Che didn't end the broadcast for a second. He looked at the camera with a smile on his face.

The comments section instantly tensed up, like startled rabbits:

【What? What does it mean that you suddenly laughed?】

[Zero Master's smile is a sign of impending doom... Are you perhaps going to stop updating your novels again?]

I'm begging you, Che-ge, how can you have such an idol-like face, yet your smile looks so weird...?

I said I feel like it's haunted, does anyone know what that means?

"Hey everyone, don't be nervous," Cheng Che said cheerfully, looking at the comments. "As you all know, I've actually been quite free these past few days."

"I don't have any variety shows to record, and unlike other celebrities, I don't have to run around doing promotional appearances all the time. I just sit here writing every day, and it's kind of boring." He said with genuine sincerity.

"So, after thinking it over, I've decided to release a few musical compositions in the next couple of days to add some fun to my peaceful life."

"What do you think?" he asked.

【I have no objection! If Che-ge said it would be fun, then it definitely would be.】

[I don't have any either, but I must support you. I'll say one number, and you'll post ten more, ten a day!]

[Brother Che, what kind of musical notes are you going to update? Is there a trailer?]

"Trailers?" Cheng Che thought for a moment, then said seriously, "I can only say that they are absolutely amazing masterpieces! I suggest they be included in teaching materials."

……

……

On the first day, November 6th, at 10:00 AM, Cheng Che's Musical Notes account was updated.

It's a picture and text image with a poem written on it:

Daming Lake

"Daming Lake, Daming Lake is big, there are lotus flowers in Daming Lake."

"There's a toad on the lotus flower; poke it and it hops away."

The accompanying text reads: "I believe this poem is astounding, and I humbly invite you all to come and appreciate it together!"

The comments section turned into a sea of ​​joy:

"666 I really thought it was some kind of masterpiece... You know what, I don't know if it's a masterpiece or not, but it definitely surprised me."

"Seriously, Zero, are you pretending to be a pig to eat feed?"

"Very reasonable. This poem uses a descriptive style, employing the simplest vocabulary to indirectly highlight the author's meticulous observation of life, while also praising the size of Daming Lake, the liveliness of the toads, and the protagonist's mischievousness (serious face)."

That evening, "Scholar Wenyuan" issued a critique, sharply criticizing the poem "Daming Lake" as "absurd and laughable."

It was subsequently destroyed by Cheng Che's "fans".

……

……

The next day, November 7th, at 10 AM, Cheng Che updated his musical composition again.

It's still a picture and text, with a sentence on it:

"A flock of wild geese flies south."

The text reads: "I happened to come across half a couplet, and I welcome all friends to try and create a matching line. I will post my matching line in the comments section in half an hour; I believe it also deserves the title of 'astounding.'"

In the comments section, people had different points of focus.

One person commented on the first line of this couplet:

"Numbers, measure words, nouns, prepositions, directions, verbs... You know what, it's actually quite difficult to match them neatly."

Someone tried to come up with the matching second line:

"A thousand sails head north across the sea."

It has received countless praises.

But without exception, everyone was eagerly awaiting the second line of the couplet that Cheng Che was about to provide.

Half an hour later...

"Two roast ducks headed north."

Countless people watched as these seven words were torn apart.

"What are you doing? Making me hungry..."

"Fortunately, I never expected to see any serious answers in the first place."

"@KingXiaotian, Che-ge wants to eat roast duck, what do you think, Xiaotian?"

That evening, "Scholar Wenyuan" once again criticized Cheng Che's second line of the couplet as "ridiculous and laughable."

Then it was once again ravaged by Cheng Che's "fans".

……

……

On the third day, November 8th, at 9:00 AM, Cheng Che was preparing to set a timed release for his third musical note composition.

That was a song.

He specially asked Xiaotang to book a recording studio last night and made time to record it there.

"Brother Che, are we really going to release this song?" Xiao Tang listened to the song, holding her forehead with a complicated expression.

"Is there no one in this world you care about?"

"What's wrong?" Cheng Che spread his hands innocently. "This song is great, it's powerful!"

"Aren't they trying to flatter me to death, trying to ruin my public image? I need to provide them with material so they have an excuse to criticize me!"

He believed that one day, the enemy would understand his good intentions.

"Whatever makes you happy." Xiao Tang chose to accept.

An hour later, Cheng Che's work was released on time. Countless people clicked on the work immediately and were surprised to find that it was actually a song.

The song title is very straightforward, it's called...

"Can Chinese People Fly?"

A light and cheerful intro begins, accompanied by "beautiful" vocals—

"Chinese people can fly! Chinese people can fly! Chinese people can fly!"

Five words, three different tones, extremely catchy, you can never forget it after just one listen.

"..."

By the time the onlookers realized what they were looking at, it was too late...

There was even a bonus segment at the end—

"Chinese people can fly~ Chinese people can fly~ Chinese people can fly~~ Hehe!" Xia Ziyi's signature voice rang out at the end.

……

That night.

The phrase "Chinese people can fly" has forcefully climbed to the top of the trending searches with an unyielding attitude.

Cheng Che and Tian Xiwei were on a video call at the time, while also checking related comments on the trending topics.

The comments section can be roughly divided into three camps—

Rational fans:

[Don't take it too seriously, everyone. Che-ge clearly released this song just to make everyone laugh. Just listen to it and have a laugh, that's enough.]

Fanatical "fans":

Does nobody understand the deeper meaning of Che Bao's song? He's trying to promote cultural confidence and national pride, and the melody is also incredibly beautiful. I'm seriously blown away!

Some bystanders dissatisfied with fan culture:

[This song is being hyped up for no reason; it's just a gimmick song... Some fans have gone too far. Cheng Che is indeed talented, but this unwarranted criticism only attracts more hate.]

This three-way balance of power didn't last long; the comments from bystanders were quickly drowned out by Cheng Che's "fans."

Whether they are Cheng Che's true fans or not, passersby don't know, but they certainly praise Cheng Che.

So even though Cheng Che didn't do anything, many people's perception of him gradually changed without them realizing it...
