Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

"Is it about to start, bro?"

Upon seeing the new chapter of the novel, Qi Yuan and his group's eyes widened in excitement. They had been looking forward to it for days. Was their show finally about to begin?
They weren't greedy; they just wanted a simple, catchy, memorable classic song suitable for the Spring Festival Gala, with a profound meaning that appealed to all ages...

"Ah."

Seeing Yu Wei nod, the smiles on their faces grew even brighter, as if they could already see the audience in Studio One waving at them.

"Let's start with the studio members."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan and the others stopped laughing. Differential treatment, huh? Damn connections! This society based on personal relationships is too cold!
Yu Wei wasn't entirely biased towards his own people. Tong Yulu and Fei Hong's program was a bit more complicated, so it definitely needed to be prepared and practiced as soon as possible.

The difficulty and importance of these things are different, so isn't it normal for him to favor his own people?

Tong Yulu and Fei Hong stepped forward in response. It was their turn now; they were a little nervous…

"We'll start by writing the skit tomorrow; you two will both have a turn."

"what?"

Although they knew in advance that Yu Wei was preparing the entire skit, they still felt a sense of unreality in the face of such a serious lineup.

Shouldn't we be able to trust Yu Wei?

To be honest, they were unsure of themselves, and Qi Yuan and the others behind them also felt uncertain, since Yu Wei had never written anything like this before.

And this isn't just any ordinary skit; it's a skit that's going to be performed on the Spring Festival Gala. This is quite a leap forward...

"And what about my business?"

Fei Hong only knew that he had a kung fu stage performance, but he didn't expect that he would also have a role in a skit, which made him feel much more pressured.

"It's not a big role, it depends on your preference."

Many sketches rely on a trio of actors, but Su Jian and Tong Yulu alone can't carry a sketch on their own; they always need to team up with another actor.

Following the principle of keeping the benefits within the family, Yu Wei planned to have him make a cameo appearance, since Fei Hong was the best actor among them.

"You don't want to give it to me."

Zhang Lingye nudged Fei Hong with a karate chop. Although he didn't know the level of Yu Wei's skit, any opportunity was a good thing.

He can take his place!
"Want to want."

Fei Hong panicked instantly. He wasn't even on the list of invitees to begin with, and participating in the review was a gamble. Now that another opportunity had been offered to him, how could he refuse it?
Others: We must consider whether this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Yu Wei Studio member: Just kidding, there will be plenty of opportunities...

The word "envy" has been used to death. It's not easy to appear on the Spring Festival Gala twice, but following Yu Weigan makes that possibility possible.

Whether it will work or not depends on the script of the skit. Every industry is different, so what if he runs into a tough opponent this time?
Yu Wei wouldn't discuss this with them; he would just tell them to prepare and do some dialogue practice on their own.

Yu Wei wasn't just referring to Su Jian and the other two, but to all of them...

He only submitted one skit for the Spring Festival Gala, but he didn't say he would only write one; he had to get help from others for the rest.

That evening, Yu Wei began designing a new storyline, and the protagonist's work as a judge for the Spring Festival Gala officially began, starting with two skits.

Why two? This is Yu Wei's clever idea. The fake Spring Festival Gala had just started, and a skit was the first to appear. Netizens could immediately guess that this was something he had prepared for the Spring Festival Gala.

At this point, a distraction needs to be created to confuse the audience while he uses both scripts, killing two birds with one stone.

Wei Yu sat on the side of the judging panel, his fingers unconsciously stroking the program schedule in front of him.

As a newcomer to the Spring Festival Gala program review, he was still not used to this sense of ritual.

Only when the lights dimmed, the familiar stage backdrop lit up, and two figures in theatrical costumes appeared on stage, did he slowly exhale amidst the first wave of laughter from the audience, and open his evaluation notes.

The performance currently underway is a comedy sketch titled "The Protagonist and the Supporting Role."

This skit needs no introduction; it's a timeless classic, packed with memorable jokes and laugh-out-loud moments. You can automatically guess the next line just by hearing the previous one, making it endlessly entertaining.

As a skit from 90, Blue Star naturally had none before, but unfortunately, this skit would definitely not be on today's Spring Festival Gala.

Putting aside the subject matter, if it only has humor but no so-called "educational significance," then it won't be approved.

Yu Wei will not let this skit be tarnished; he wants to film it himself and show it to everyone!
After careful consideration, he had the lead actor give the skit a score of 9.7, deducting a little for its depth, just to be on the safe side.

The second skit was the one Yu Wei planned to submit for the Spring Festival Gala. As planned, he chose "To Help or Not to Help" from the "Hao Jian" series.

It can't compare to classic works, but it's still acceptable in the post-Spring Festival Gala era.

This skit is well-integrated with social phenomena and has generated many viral memes, making it the best solution that balances contemporary relevance with humor.

He gave "To Help or Not to Help" an 8.5 rating, mainly deducting points for insufficient innovation and some awkward jokes, and the ending was also about making dumplings.

Eight points or above is enough. The skits of recent years have all failed to pass the mark. You should be secretly happy if there is even one viewer who can watch it.

The next morning, Yu Wei officially released the new chapter. The exchange of sketches is the same as that of film and television dramas, and acting skills are included after the exchange.

It seems he'll be the biggest workhorse when it comes to making these classic sketches; others need to invest time and effort in practice, but he doesn't...

His appearance clearly doesn't suit him to play Chen Peisi; he can only play Zhu Shimao with his thick eyebrows and big eyes. So who should we cast for the other role?
Yu Weizhuo's efforts in casting have caused a complete uproar among readers in the comments section of the new chapter.

If we're not buddies, why is this a skit?
Seeing that the main character is going to be a judge on the Spring Festival Gala, they naturally want to see the scoring guy criticize everything and everyone, and ideally, he can satirize all the chaos in the entertainment industry.

Unexpectedly, the plot was completely different from what they had imagined. The protagonist, Wei Yu, not only obediently gave scores, but also gave them all high scores.

They had never heard of either of these skits.

"I thought they were going to start criticizing the Spring Festival Gala sketches, what a pity."

"I can't find it. The main character and the supporting character are from the same song."

"The story is one I've never heard of before; this formula seems so familiar."

Everyone then realized that this scene seemed to have happened many times before. Could Yu Wei be planning to write a skit...?

Although he has a precedent of winning awards for his screenplays, the story construction of a skit and a movie are still different. People may not be experts, but they are worldly-wise. When you can't find anyone like him in the entire country, this task must be incredibly difficult. A songwriter writing a skit—it's unheard of!

He has a talent for writing films, but his sketches are a bit outrageous. The deconstruction, humor, and performance are completely incomparable.

The challenge of writing a skit lies in creating a stage that can hold genuine laughter in the shortest amount of time, and leaving something to savor after the laughter fades.

This requires the screenwriter to possess the rigor of a master structurator, the rhythm of a comedian, and a keen observation of social life.

Yu Wei can do this too?

But now it's no longer a matter of whether they believe it or not; when Yu Wei wrote these two works in his novel, their existence was already a foregone conclusion.

"I don't know what to say, I can only hope."

"If it's better than the Spring Festival Gala sketches of the past two years, then it's a success."

"Then you still underestimate Yu Wei. Anyone could write better sketches than those from the last two years."

Yu Wei saw the strong doubts in the netizens' words, but because he had a good public image, the doubts turned into "lowering expectations".

If any other singer said they were going to write a skit, you can imagine how much they would be criticized. But because it's Yu Wei, netizens chose to believe him first and then believe him later.

There's nothing we can do, what else can we do...

This is the reputation he has built step by step, and no matter how unbelievable it may seem, people are willing to wait and see.

Why am I feeling a little touched?

Yu Wei thought he would be like an entertainment protagonist, attracting a lot of doubts when he crossed over into another field, and then using his works to prove them wrong.

It felt great, but it was also very annoying. It was like we had been doing useless work all along, and no one had built up any trust with each other.

The netizens' subtle comments made Yu Wei realize that life is different, and trust will not crumble in an instant.

"You've written a skit, so you're making judgments? You're just making assumptions. With just these two works in your novels, they wouldn't even pass the initial screening for the Spring Festival Gala."

Except for Jingle Bells...

Although he is the third-ranked figure on the list, this guy has been criticizing him a lot these past two days, contradicting him, pouring cold water on him, and pointing fingers at him. If Yu Wei hadn't been experienced in being scolded as a loser, he would have been scolded into a state of extreme anger.

Yu Wei didn't become popular, but Liao Ling on the other side of the screen really became famous. Has this dog of an author gone to any lengths to get people into the Spring Festival Gala?

Others may not know what Yu Wei is trying to achieve by writing skits, but she certainly does. At this crucial juncture, her sudden attempt to write skits clearly indicates her intention to participate in the Spring Festival Gala judging.

"I've convinced you."

Liao Ling is considered a half-fan of Yu Wei. Why half-fan? Because she followed Yu Wei mainly to stalk him...

After Yu Wei became an internet sensation, netizens speculated about her reasons for writing the book. She was undoubtedly a conspiracy theorist, and there was a deeper meaning behind Yu Wei's book!

Moreover, because of her position, she was well aware of the impact Yu Wei's rise would have on the domestic entertainment market.

Out of curiosity about Yu Wei, Liao Ling began a six-month-long stalking spree, then found it quite interesting, and started giving him tips...

That's not the point. The point is that the fake Spring Festival Gala in Yu Wei's novel is too ridiculous. She didn't say anything about the previous plots, but this time it's in her area of ​​expertise, so she has to say something.

If the Spring Festival Gala were a makeshift operation like the one described in his book, it would have been in complete chaos long ago.

The Spring Festival Gala in the novel made her realize that Yu Wei had grand ambitions and would definitely bring over a lot of programs.

Unsurprisingly, this skit was one of them. As far as she knew, one of Yu Wei's group couldn't sing, so performing a skit was the only option.

We must pay special attention to this!

Which one is it?

Yu Wei wouldn't arrange for two skits to be featured on the Spring Festival Gala; the competition would be too fierce, since there are only seven or eight comedy sketches on the Gala each year.

Of these two skits, there must be one that's a distractor, with scores of 9.7 and 8.5. He'll definitely submit a better piece for the competition.

Liao Ling chose the former without hesitation. Yu Wei's scoring was quite objective. Why would he deliberately submit a slightly inferior work instead of a better one?

"Protagonist and Supporting Role" sounds like it's related to acting, and it also suits his celebrity friends very well; it's probably tailor-made for them.

"Hopefully it won't be too outrageous."

Although the comments were overwhelmingly negative, she was genuinely looking forward to seeing what kind of skit Yu Wei would write.

……

"How about it?"

The short story "To Help or Not to Help" is only two or three thousand words long, about the same as a chapter of a novel. Moreover, Yu Wei copied it verbatim and finished writing it during his lunch break.

Yu Wei didn't want to delay, so after writing it, he sent it directly to Tong Yulu and the other two for their evaluation, asking the lead actors to give their feedback first.

They didn't speak; all three were engrossed in the script and were reading it intently.

As the lines of dialogue unfolded, their expressions began to change.

Su Jian's previously casual posture became upright, her eyes fixed on the script, and the corners of her mouth occasionally turned up.

Tong Yulu stopped halfway through reading, took a deep breath, and continued reading, her voice now clearly tinged with laughter.

The humor in a skit is definitely better when it's performed, but just by reading the script, they can already imagine the scene.

Tong Yulu found the plot, especially the shift in the balance of power after the traffic police arrived, quite amusing; the villains always have their share of trouble.

While satirizing social phenomena, it was also funny; they never expected Yu Wei to be so talented.

"If an 8.5 is this good, what must a 9.7 be like?"

Wait a minute, the three of them suddenly realized that they hadn't noticed before, so this was the one that wasn't good enough.

You keep the good stuff for yourself and use the bad stuff to enter the competition, right? You really like saving your skills that much?
The Spring Festival Gala isn't worth his full effort... (End of Chapter)
