Description

Yu Wen transmigrated into a novel about the entertainment industry, becoming a nameless background character.

Unlike cannon fodder, background characters have no names and no distinct faces, yet they are omnipresent.

When “everyone was surprised” or “people started gossiping,” they are the backdrop; when “holding their breath” or “breaking into a cold sweat” or “proceeding cautiously,” they carry the flag of reaction.

#What background characters? They’re just working hard!#

Yu Wen takes on multiple roles, and his daily life consists of moving a small stool around to watch the drama unfold.

One day, during a heated argument between the top and bottom on a livestream, an eagle-eyed viewer noticed a figure in the bottom right corner, holding a watermelon and watching with great interest.

【Ah, that guy…】

【Hilarious, he’s really focused on eating that watermelon.】

【True definition of ‘watching the drama’ hhhh】

【I just remembered, I saw him on Chu Han’s variety show! Isn’t he a stagehand?!】

【OMG, I got a screenshot! He was an extra in my wife’s drama!】

Yu Wen became inexplicably famous.

Netizens affectionately called him the “Melon King” of the entertainment industry.

A netizen asked about the details of a minor celebrity being taken advantage of.

“There was no exploitation, the director said he doesn’t swing that way.”

“I’m a stagehand, I was on site.”

A netizen asked about a top female star climbing over a wall to meet her boyfriend at night.

“She was hungry and climbed out for roast chicken.”

“That shadow in the picture by the wall… yeah, that’s me.”

A netizen asked…

Yu Wen: Clearing up the rumors, I was on site.

#Don’t ask, just ask if I was on site#

#First-hand gossip, firsthand information#

Later—

Netizen: 【Don’t worry, I have some connections in the entertainment industry, let me go ask Yu Wen in his livestream.】

Netizen: 【He might have been on site.】
