Chapter 313 A Song That Settles the Situation...

When preparing to record the song, Yu Weicai realized what it means to regret one's lack of knowledge when one needs it most. If Qi Luoan were here, he could have sung the duet again.

It's definitely easier for two people to sing than for one person to play two roles, but unfortunately they are now separated by distance, and Qi Luoan can't help even if he wants to.

Is this what they mean by "you only realize how important someone is when they're not around"?

Recording separately and then combining them didn't produce the same effect as having one person play both roles, so Yu Wei decided to sing it herself.

Both singers have very distinctive voices and singing styles. Only he knows how to sing them. In order to reproduce them as accurately as possible, he can only suffer himself.

The good news is that the school scenes for "Goodbye Mr. Loser" have finished filming, and new filming locations are still being finalized. Therefore, filming will be suspended for two days, giving him ample time to record songs.

Fei Ting's voice is known for its purity and clarity, with a crystal-clear timbre, strong high-frequency penetration, and a "resonance" effect reminiscent of classical vocal music.

The biggest difference between the two singers is undoubtedly their pronunciation. Zhou Mulun's signature style of singing with enunciation is self-evident, and his pronunciation is very unclear.

However, Teacher Fei's pronunciation was clear and precise, continuing the traditional singing style of the last century. Each syllable was clear as pearls falling on a jade plate, and his voice was very stable.

The two singing styles belong to different aesthetic systems of different eras, so there is no inherent superiority or inferiority between them.

When the staff at the local recording studio heard Yu Wei sing this song in two completely different styles, they were stunned.

Using two techniques to perform a so-called "chorus" is something that few people besides Yu Wei could do; in any case, they had never heard of it.

The only drawback is the harmony part. Because it is sung in two parts, there is no sense of interaction after the singing overlaps.

Yu Wei is not a perfectionist, so there's no need to dwell on this. The competition is urgent, so we'll just record the official version properly later and have Qi Luoan sing a harmony.

When the matter was brought up, Qi Luoan readily agreed, and also took the opportunity to vehemently criticize the school's inhumane behavior...

"I'm so frustrated because I have to wait ten more days for my last exam."

The classic arrangement involves scheduling the final exam to determine when students will be dismissed from school, leaving students waiting from week sixteen to week nineteen, while those from farther away are left to waste time at school.

Although Qi Luoan wanted to appear in front of Yu Wei, the journey was too long and arduous, so he decided to wait until the exams were completely over before going.

"I was so bored, so I kept two potted plants at your house."

Qi Luoan has been spending all his time studying and writing lately, and he feels like half of his soul has withered away. If he doesn't find something to do soon, he'll really crash.

"That's great, starting senior life early."

"Using your trophy as a flowerpot."

Qi Luoan was afraid he wouldn't believe her, so she specially sent him a photo. The flowers hadn't grown yet, but the container holding the soil was undoubtedly a trophy.

"?"

Although he has many trophies, isn't using them as flower pots a bit too much...?

"Just kidding, I bought the same one on Pinduoduo for 9.9 yuan."

The benefits of celebrity influence are significant. Since Yu Wei became famous, all sorts of similar items have appeared online, even though he has never even seen many of them before.

He himself has never used it, so how can it be called the same model?

Influence can permeate daily life; the sales of gadgets "same style" as those worn by Yu Wei are more than double those of ordinary models.

Compared to the dazzling data hyped up by fans, the most direct reflection of popularity lies in the many small, unseen details.

Zhang Lingye was addicted to FPS games and often matched with someone named Yu Weifenyu. He would always take a screenshot and send it to him.

Yu Wei from Huaibei killed Ling Lingqi...

"Since you're so free, why don't you do me a small favor?"

With no filming these past few days, Yu Wei also had time to work on new things. He planned to write the script for "Kung Fu Jungle" so that it would be easier to market it.

"You want me to be a typist again?"

The script for "Goodbye Mr. Loser" was typed out word by word by Qi Luoan, so she is very familiar with this process.

"Sure, but I won't work for free, send me the money!"

We used to be completely open with each other when we were strangers, but now that we're boyfriend and girlfriend, we don't want to be taken advantage of. We're like family members, constantly shifting money between our hands. But this process is quite interesting.

She wasn't trying to take advantage of Yu Wei; she just wanted to have some fun. If she didn't get candy, she would cause trouble.

"You write first, and all the billions of assets I've accumulated over the years will be yours."

Are you driving?

Qi Luoan's mind went blank the moment he saw the news. Yu Wei had only been rich for a year, where did he get hundreds of millions of assets? He was diagnosed with being possessed by Fei Ting.

She didn't say no, and then made a phone call to ask Yu Wei to relay the script, which she then organized here.

"After you finish writing it, just take it to Sister Liu at the studio, and she will help you process it."

Yu Wei simply started remote control, just waiting for the script to be sold so he could enjoy a life of luxury with his studio members.

"Stop talking nonsense and start writing."

The main storyline of the movie "Kung Fu Jungle" is very clear. Xiahou Wu was once a disciple of the He Yi Men martial arts school. Later, he served as a martial arts instructor in the police force, but was imprisoned for accidentally killing someone in a fight.

Three years later, he noticed a series of bizarre deaths and deduced that someone was hunting down martial arts masters, so he volunteered to assist the police investigation.

Feng Yuxiu was a martial arts fanatic. Despite being born with a disability, he was obsessed with martial arts. In his pursuit of the ultimate martial arts skills, he even killed his wife, who was suffering from cancer, to sever all ties.

He followed the order of "practicing fists first, then legs, and finally grappling and weapons, from the inside out," and challenged and killed martial arts masters such as the King of Southern Fist, the King of Northern Leg, the King of Grappling, and the King of Weapons one by one.

As the plot unfolds, Xiahou Wu discovers that Feng Yuxiu's ultimate target is actually him. In order to force Xiahou Wu to fight, Feng Yuxiu even harms Xiahou Wu's junior sister, Shan Ying. In the end, the two engage in a life-or-death duel on the highway. After a fierce battle, Xiahou Wu gains the upper hand but does not kill him, and is instead ambushed by Feng Yuxiu.

In the critical moment, the police arrived and shot and killed Feng Yuxiu.

"Lots of action scenes."

Compared to "Goodbye Mr. Loser", the script for this movie was much easier to write because the action scenes didn't need to be detailed; they could be mentioned in passing.

"Fight from beginning to end."

The plot of this movie is so-so, but the action scenes are really good, and the villain is also very well-developed.

Yu Wei originally wanted to play Feng Yuxiu, but his image was really unsuitable. Even if he had the acting skills, he probably wouldn't be able to portray that kind of rough and ruthless character.

You can't force these things. It wouldn't be bad to play a martial arts master in the future, since he does know a little bit about fighting.

"I wonder who will win."

Rather than selling for a good price, Yu Wei still wanted to sell to a good family. Kung Fu films were gradually declining, and if the wrong person was chosen, it was easy to die a violent death.

The budget can be smaller, but the quality of the filming should be as high as possible.

"You've already collaborated with my dad, and you're still being picky? Any director is better than Lao Qi."

Qi Luo'an had also heard about what was going on with the film crew. Now, Yu Wei basically had the final say, while her father spent all his time either fishing or lying around doing nothing.

I've been fishing for so many days, but I've never posted any pictures on social media. Why is that? It's so hard to guess...

Qi Luoan is definitely the biggest hater in the world. At least movie fans would take a look, but she never had any expectations.

"That reminds me. I'll just ask Lao Qi which directors are good at making kung fu movies."

Putting aside his directing skills, Lao Qi has a wide network of connections and a keen eye for talent; his recommendations are almost always spot-on…

The script for "Kung Fu Jungle" wasn't long, but it still took two days to write. After it was officially completed on the second day, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief across the internet.

"I'll check for any typos or omissions, then print it out and give it to Sister Liu." Qi Luo'an is very efficient, which reassures Yu Wei.

"When I get to the studio, I'll see if Yuting is there. If she is, I'll ask her if she's interested in appearing on the Spring Festival Gala."

Ultimately, we should ask the person in question. It's inconvenient for visually impaired people to travel far, and what if they want to stay home with their parents during the Chinese New Year?

If you're willing to come, then you can come with Qi Luoan. He'll feel more at ease having someone to accompany him on the journey.

"understood!"

Hearing Qi Luoan abruptly hang up the phone, Yu Wei smiled helplessly and continued writing.

Song Wei and Jiang Siheng have already sent him the songs. Both of them are covers, and their singing skills and song choices are top-notch, with a strong sense of the era.

If it were in the earlier rounds, they would have had a real chance, but unfortunately this time they are playing "A Thousand Miles Away".

This song was already a classic, and with the fact that he had already demonstrated the lyrical connections between the beginning and end, it became a hit even before its release, attracting a lot of attention.

With such high-quality work and such a high level of attention, winning the competition shouldn't be difficult.

……

The meeting room was filled with the aroma of caffeine and a serious atmosphere.

The six core members of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala creative team sat around an oval mahogany conference table, with thick stacks of artist profiles and program proposals scattered in front of them.

Director Xu Zhen rubbed his temples; being a peacemaker was really exhausting.

They've been meeting for three hours straight, and most of that time has been spent talking about Yu Wei. Inviting Yu Wei is a must, and the main focus of the discussion is how many spots they can allocate for him…

With both sides sticking to their own version of events, he, as the person in charge, was having a terrible headache.

"I still maintain that the Spring Festival Gala should not make such a big exception for anyone, especially someone who is obviously ambitious and even plotting something."

The speaker was Liao Ling, the youngest director on the team. She pulled up the data and projected it onto the screen, clearly quite wary of Yu Wei's long-term strategic planning.

Yu Wei deserved to be on the Spring Festival Gala, and she had nothing to say about it, but was it too much to arrange a large number of her own team?

The Spring Festival Gala is, after all, a public event. If it really becomes a stepping stone for the "Yu Family Troupe," wouldn't people gossip?

"But the pop singer segment is lacking in heavyweight programs."

Music director Ye Shengyu tapped the table, his voice carrying an undeniable authority, "The current stars have enough market buzz, but their artistic value is limited."

"Only Yu Wei's team has both. We need a voice that is both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, and that can truly move people."

Since you have to hire popular celebrities, why not hire some promising talents?
It's not about supporting Yu Wei, but rather that they need Yu Wei. They invite popular celebrities to fill the void every year; what about the reputation of the Spring Festival Gala?

Liao Ling didn't dare to challenge someone as experienced as Ye Shengyu, but she never gave in.

Is Yu Wei's team necessarily reliable?
Ye Shengyu was so angry that his teeth itched. Why was this girl so stubborn? He had worked part-time at the Spring Festival Gala for so many years, and there were hardly any young people who dared to contradict him like this.

He was angry, but he didn't dislike her; in fact, he admired her somewhat. There was no right or wrong in this matter; she was young and dared to challenge authority, which was a good thing.

It seems I'll have to put in a lot more effort to convince her...

Ye Shengyu was about to take a sip of tea and continue when he suddenly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. At this hour, that kid must have updated his app.

"How about this, we'll use Yu Wei's new song as a reference. If you like his song, we'll give his team a chance to judge it, okay?"

He didn't know what level Yu Weixin's new song was at, but dragging it out like this wasn't a solution, so he decided to take a gamble.
