Qingkong Literature stepped in.
Registering and getting the account "Jiangnan" verified went smoothly.
After Su Yu updated the latest chapter.
He reminded readers at the end of the chapter to follow him on Weibo.
In just half an hour.
His Weibo followers increased to three hundred thousand.
He also posted his first Weibo.
"Thank you all for your support of Xianjian."
After this Weibo was posted.
The comment section immediately became lively.
"Jiangnan, the old thief, finally registered for Weibo, now we have a place to vent!"
"Damn it, old thief, you stabbed me so hard!"
"Considering you gave my favorite Jiu Jian Xian a good ending, I'll go easy on you."
"Please share your address, I want to send you some local specialties."
"I recently went to the wholesale market, you know what I mean, right?"
"..."
Looking at these reader comments.
Su Yu felt even more fortunate about his decision to register Weibo under his pen name.
"There's nothing I can do, I didn't want to, but changing the ending wouldn't have had the same impact."
He shook his head.
As a qualified carrier, he couldn't help it either.
Besides, it was Jiangnan who stabbed you, what does that have to do with me, Su Yu?
He closed the computer and lay down on the bed.
Tomorrow was the opening of the city qualifiers.
Of course, he only needed to sit in the producer's seat and answer the host's questions; the performance would be by Gong Juren.
Even so, he needed to be well-rested.
Recently, Su Yu noticed his skin was a bit dry, wondering if it was from eating too much hot pot or not getting enough rest.
Although he lived with Lin Yanyu.
They did not sleep together.
It wasn't that Su Yu didn't want to.
They were both adults and in the heat of love, so naturally, they had those kinds of thoughts.
But Lin Yanyu, who was usually very open, suddenly became shy at the critical moment.
She wanted to wait until after they were engaged.
Being together was about mutual respect, and when the time was right, things would naturally progress.
Su Yu never made decisions with his lower body; his relationship with Lin Yanyu was a resonance of souls.
Although he felt some regret, he respected her thoughts.
...
The online literature circle was, after all, niche.
Jiangnan registering for Weibo, while attracting attention from many, did not cause any major sensation.
What was trending on Weibo was almost entirely about the Ace City Qualifiers.
Because Ting Yu was participating in the fifth division, the heat was extremely high.
This also led to complaints from participants in other divisions.
"Ace City Qualifiers, they might as well rename it Ting Yu City Qualifiers."
"That's right, all the attention is on the fifth division, we're not even worth being the background characters."
"Can't be helped, who made Ting Yu so popular?"
"Heh, it would be interesting if Ting Yu lost the first match."
These contestants directly commented using their own accounts.
It was clear they harbored considerable resentment towards Ting Yu.
However, after commenting, they collectively deleted their posts.
This left many who wanted to refute them bewildered.
That feeling of punching cotton was undeniably uncomfortable.
...
Inside the Ace internal group chat.
Laughter and joy still filled the air.
"Haha, posted and deleted, just for fun."
"But someone quick-handed might have screenshotted it."
"So what if they screenshot it? We're just stating facts."
"@Li Shaojun, why are you so quiet? Are you so happy you can't speak? If you eliminate Ting Yu this time, you'll be awesome."
"So envious, Ting Yu is really headstrong to dare to compete with Li Shaojun using his signature inspirational songs, isn't that just giving away free kills?"
"Li Shaojun is getting off easy, he's going to gain both fame and fortune this time, remember to send red envelopes in the group, @Li Shaojun."
Eliminating Ting Yu this time would not only bring popularity.
It would also earn a huge sum from Dingsheng Entertainment.
Describing it as gaining both fame and fortune was by no means an exaggeration.
As everyone was frantically tagging Li Shaojun.
He finally chimed in.
"Sorry, I was just booking my flight tickets. After eliminating Ting Yu, I plan to go to a tropical island for a few days of swimming and enjoying life."
Li Shaojun's words were incredibly arrogant.
This was an internal group chat, not a public occasion.
Bragging was a common occurrence.
"Not bad, you've even booked your flight tickets."
"It seems Li Shaojun is confident of victory, so he must have something prepared."
"All the contestants this time definitely have something prepared, it's an open secret, isn't it?"
"So envious, lucky to be the first to encounter Ting Yu."
Ace City Qualifiers production team.
In the lounge.
Li Shaojun leaned back on the sofa, resting his legs on the coffee table.
He held a teacup in his hand.
It contained black tea.
After taking a sip, he sighed comfortably and then closed his eyes.
The show was about to begin.
In his mind, he was picturing himself swimming on a tropical island after gaining fame and fortune...
...
At the same time.
Qian Qinghua, the Ace producer who had been watching the drama unfold using an alt account, held his phone and pressed the screenshot button.
He then opened the image.
And separately cropped out Li Shaojun's comment about swimming on a tropical island.
Qian Qinghua's eyes gleamed with excitement.
He created a new account on Weibo.
Named it "Shen Yin Zhe".
Then he let out a sigh of relief.
"Now, just waiting for Ting Yu to win."
He murmured.
That's right, he was going to be the "face-slapping" messenger, waiting for Ting Yu to win, and then he would post these words online.
This Li Shaojun was someone he would definitely keep an eye on.
Sorry, Scorpios are like this, they hold grudges.
"Teacher Qian believes so much that Ting Yu will win?"
Qin Feng, standing beside him, asked with some confusion.
In his opinion, Qian Qinghua wasn't particularly impressed with Ting Yu, so his current statement was surprising.
"Heh, Ting Yu's skill level makes it easy for him to defeat someone like Li Shaojun," Qian Qinghua said with a smile.
"Okay..." Qin Feng nodded, seemingly understanding, then continued, "Teacher Qian, do you think I can get Ting Yu to write a song for me if I ask him?"
After speaking, Qin Feng touched the bracelet on his left hand and looked up at Qian Qinghua.
He only needed one good song to potentially be nominated for Song King.
At that time, his wish would be fulfilled, and he could return to that small mountain village to find his girlfriend Mo Xiaowen.
"The company won't pay," Qian Qinghua blinked, then smiled and shook his head.
"I'll pay myself!" Qin Feng gritted his teeth.
"Do you know how many top-tier singers have asked Ting Yu to write songs for them and were rejected?" Qian Qinghua took a deep breath, helpless.
Qin Feng fell silent.
Indeed, given Ting Yu's current value, even top-tier singers found it difficult to collaborate with him.
After a long pause, Qin Feng suddenly looked up and said seriously, "If I pay for a song, and only ask for the performance rights, giving up everything else, would he agree?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Qinghua couldn't help but gasp.
Was Qin Feng crazy?
In the industry, when singers paid for songs, they usually bought the full copyright.
This kind of offer, asking for nothing but performance rights, was undeniably a huge loss.
He didn't know if Ting Yu would be tempted, but Qian Qinghua certainly would be: "If that's the case, you can try Xinghui, but Ting Yu has never written songs for singers outside of Xinghui, so you have to be prepared."
He felt a pang of envy.
As an Ace producer himself, Ting Yu could make top-tier singers give up all rights just to sing one of his songs.
However, on second thought.
Ting Yu was indeed worthy.
If he performed normally, Qin Feng would have a great chance of becoming Song King with his song.
But would Ting Yu really write it for him?
"Is there really no other way?"
Qin Feng felt a hint of bitterness in his heart, becoming Song King had always been his dream.
Before he could ponder further.
The TV screen turned black, and then the picture appeared.
Now, the live broadcast of the Ace City Qualifiers had begun!
