Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?
Chapter 322 A work that scores 99 points
If I fail my course, will you still love me?
Qi Luoan kicked off his shoes, stepping barefoot onto the cool floor, and turned around to reminisce with Yu Wei, half-jokingly.
With a third wheel on the way, it was difficult to say a lot of things, but once they arrived at the hotel, they could finally have some private conversation. She had a lot of things to say to each other.
Yu Wei didn't speak, but stared at her intently, as if carefully examining a long-lost treasure.
"What are you looking at?" Qi Luo'an blushed a little from being stared at, looked away, and continued to ask, "You haven't answered me yet."
"You've lost some weight."
Yu Wei leaned closer and pinched her cheek before replying, "As long as the person isn't dead, that's fine."
He knew Qi Luoan was just asking a random question, so his answer was hasty. Besides, she had been studying on her own for a month, so there was no reason for her to fail.
“You’ve definitely lost weight. I haven’t been able to eat since you left.” Qi Luo’an pushed Yu Wei, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, down and then climbed on top of him without hesitation.
"Is it lighter?"
Yu Wei was completely taken aback. What was going on? They were doing this as soon as they arrived? He couldn't resist the temptation.
Old Qi is also staying at this hotel; if he gets caught, he won't take the blame...
However, Qi Luoan acted quickly, pressing down twice tentatively before standing up swiftly, giving Yu Wei no room to maneuver.
To be honest, she really wanted to continue with the process, but she was too tired today. She finished the exam at six o'clock and left at nine o'clock. She typed for more than four hours on the plane and was too sleepy to continue.
"Give me a kiss and I'm going to sleep."
After all, under Lao Qi's watchful eye, Qi Luo'an didn't dare to openly stay with Yu Wei here, but instead asked for a room by himself.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Wei leaned over, put one arm around her waist, and used the other hand to guide her to tilt her head up slightly. Their eyes met, and their heartbeats gradually synchronized.
The next second, Qi Luoan trembled all over and involuntarily let out a very soft whimper. Her fingers gripped the clothes at his waist, the fabric clenching and wrinkling in her hand.
It's unclear how much time passed before Yu Weicai raised his head again. Qi Luoan seemed somewhat unsatisfied and subconsciously stood on tiptoe to reach for the food.
Didn't reach it...
It wasn't that she was short; it was that Yu Wei retreated too decisively, giving her no chance to continue.
"Go to bed, good night."
Yu Wei yawned. He hadn't slept all night because he was picking someone up at the airport, and if he didn't sleep soon, he wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow.
It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Filming for "Goodbye Mr. Loser" will wrap up tomorrow, with only one last yacht scene to go.
"Good night."
Qi Luoan wiped her mouth, chuckled mischievously, and pushed open the door to leave. Tonight was indeed not a good time; she would find another auspicious day.
She absolutely had to get rid of Yu Wei by the time the New Year came around!
As soon as Qi Luoan stepped out, he saw his older brother, Qi Yuan, who was wandering back and forth in the hallway, pretending to be taking a walk.
Running in the stairwell in the middle of the night, huh? Just admit you're spying on me, don't act like it's real.
The three of them came back together, and Qi Yuan naturally knew that his little sister had gone into Yu Wei's room. He was just afraid that the two of them would fight...
Although they didn't get along, subconsciously he was still afraid that his sister would suffer.
If it's consensual, he'll simply eavesdrop; but if someone tries to force it, then Qi Yuan will have to step in as a hero.
Of course, if Yu Wei were to suffer a loss, he would be more than happy to kick his lustful little sister out.
Neither of them spoke until Qi Luoan returned to her room and discovered that Yu Wei had ruffled her collar.
Damn it, when?
We agreed to kiss once and then go to sleep, but this kid still sneaked it, huh? No sportsmanship at all!
"Your hands aren't very clean..."
The next day, Qi Luoan looked resentful. Yu Weizhen really didn't remind her. Now her older brother has caught her.
I hope he'll act like a decent human being and not say anything inappropriate; it's quite embarrassing.
"I heard you're going to draw lots, remember to help me draw a good one."
Upon hearing that Qi Luoan had arrived, Shen Yutong, who was in seclusion writing songs, made a special trip to the scene. Her understanding of good fortune was different from others; she wanted to draw Zhou Mulun.
The process is more important than the result. If you're going to fight, why not fight the strongest one?
Judging from the third round of the competition, this local guy named Zhou Mulun is the strongest. After all, others have appeared once, but he has appeared twice, and both of his songs can be called hits.
"I have terrible luck; I've never had a lucky draw."
Qi Luo'an sighed. The luckiest moment of her life was probably when she found Yu Wei's novel in the vast sea of books...
However, the live draw broadcast is not yet confirmed. We'll see when the time comes. We'll try to let the locals fight amongst themselves and guarantee one of the live singers a spot.
This competition is too much of a challenge between humans and machines; we can't attack head-on, we have to outsmart them.
The two chatted enthusiastically, but they didn't talk about the Spring Festival Gala at all, since neither of them had any particular attachment to it.
Shen Yutong was planning to accept the invitation, mainly because she had many friends and thought it would be better to get together during the Chinese New Year.
However, there's no need for the show to bother Yu Wei; he can write his own songs and has plenty of time.
"Where did this savage come from?"
While chatting, Qi Luoan noticed a man dressed as a fisherman holding a pitchfork next to him. What kind of outfit is that...?
"This is art, don't you understand?"
To be honest, Qi Yuan didn't understand why Yuan Hua had become a fisherman. Logically speaking, he was a good student and his father was the district head. Even if he was not good at studying, he shouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.
But Yu Wei said this scene was indispensable, so Qi Yuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and act it out. "You two adulterers, if I stab you like this, you might die."
This "yacht" is actually just an exquisite half-model, with the ocean background created using green screen and post-production special effects.
Because making the model takes time, this scene was scheduled for the end. After all, it wouldn't be possible to actually have Yuan Hua go out to sea in a small boat; it would be too dangerous.
"Scene 57, Shot 1 of 'Goodbye Mr. Loser,' begin!" Yu Wei immediately got into character, his languid expression vanishing, replaced by Xia Luo's carefree yet slightly bewildered look.
He sat on the "cruise ship," legs crossed, his gaze sweeping across the "sea," exuding the air of a successful person.
"Holy crap, Yuan Hua!"
Zhang Lingye couldn't help but burst into laughter as soon as he finished saying that classic line. Qi Yuan's outfit was really funny, and coupled with his surprised and uncertain expression, it was hard for him to keep up the laughter.
"Let's try again, don't laugh."
They didn't expect that this simple shot would be filmed thirteen times. No one laughed afterward, but Qi Yuan's condition was not right.
At this moment, Yuan Hua was not only surprised and shocked, but also somewhat inferior. He was the worst off among his classmates at the reunion, and his goddess was right across from him. There was bound to be a lot of awkwardness.
Qi Yuan failed to get it right even after ten takes, but finally he remembered Yu Wei and his little sister being all lovey-dovey in front of him last night, and that's when he started to get a feel for it.
"Crack!"
Qi Yunming called a halt, and the scene was quiet for a few seconds before bursting into applause. Filming for "Goodbye Mr. Loser" had officially wrapped.
Then, the film set came alive.
There were no cheers and laughter as filming wrapped up; instead, it was like a precision instrument being shut down methodically. Everyone was doing their job according to professional procedures, as if it were just another ordinary night of finishing work.
Only the smallest details revealed the difference: assistant director Lü Zhou's eyes were a little moist, and lighting assistant Xiao Wang secretly stuffed a worn-out color film into his pocket.
Instead of rushing back to the dressing room to remove their makeup as usual, the actors stood there looking at each other.
This was the best film set they had ever been on; no one acted like a diva, and everyone was filming with great enthusiasm.
Such a wonderful team will never exist again...
The group took a group photo to wrap up filming, with Yu Wei sitting firmly in the center. As the crew packed up and dispersed, the staff posted the photo on the official account.
From the start of filming to the end, this drama was shot for two months. Although there was the debuff of Qi Yunming, everyone was still looking forward to it.
After all, this is Yu Wei's first film that "reflects reality," so even if it's a real lump, they still have to try it for themselves.
Netizens are discussing the film enthusiastically and starting to plan its release date.
Filming has just finished. If all goes well, we'll get the publishing license next spring. If we speed up post-production, we might be able to release it during the summer season.
If we're unlucky, we might have to wait until the Spring Festival the year after next. For readers of daily-updated novels, a year's gap is terrifying; their enthusiasm can easily cool down.
"Let's aim for a summer release."
The film still enjoys the popularity of Yu Wei's novel. Releasing it earlier can help it resonate with the novel, but if it's released too late, the popularity will have already faded away.
Qi Yunming nodded. He was too lazy to care about what happened next. Whatever the final cut turned out was what it was. It would be too tiring to keep an eye on things every day.
Yu Wei knew that Lao Qi was unreliable, so he arranged for Lü Zhou to keep an eye on things later. Lü Zhou came from a background in making music videos and was quite skilled at editing. The two had also collaborated before, so communication was easy.
At the wrap party, he was undoubtedly at the head table. Without Yu Wei, the movie would probably still be dragging on. He was the true backbone.
But at this moment, the film's main character is writing furiously at the dinner table, and since he hasn't finished writing today's new chapter yet, he can only slightly spoil the mood.
People were already used to his daily writing routine and didn't mind it at all; in fact, they were quite happy to see it.
"What to write?"
Aside from Qi Luoan, no one else would dare to rudely approach Yu Wei's screen and look around. If it were anyone else, Yu Wei would indeed be a little bothered.
"Our new song."
With Qi Luoan arriving, Yu Wei immediately began arranging their choral piece for the Spring Festival Gala, as this was the most important task.
"let me see!"
Qi Luoan wasn't particularly interested in the Spring Festival Gala, but being able to sing a duet with Yu Wei was a different story. Performing on the same stage as Yu Wei, especially in front of a national audience, was something to be excited about.
She leaned closer to the screen and glanced at it, discovering that Yu Wei was using the classic "building up the argument by first criticizing" technique, a classic villain questioning a song, with the protagonist Wei Yu giving a score.
"This song is so corny."
The male voice on stage was hoarse, like a rough stone polished by the river wind and scorching sun, and the tone was extremely high, almost ear-piercing.
"The lyrics are too explicit, even vulgar." The female director frowned and drew a line under "kiss enough," the pen tip almost piercing the paper.
"The Spring Festival Gala, which targets hundreds of millions of viewers nationwide, especially young people, must consider its social impact and guiding principles. These folk songs are hardly suitable for formal occasions..."
"9.9."
Wei Yu completely ignored what she said, focusing solely on giving scores: "This song has irreplaceable value."
Wow, 9.9.
This was the first time Qi Luoan had ever seen Yu Wei give such a high score to his own novel. It was almost a perfect score. What kind of work could Yu Wei give such a high score?
She scrolled up a few lines with her mouse and found that the song was called "The Boatman's Love".
Yu Wei gave it a 9.9 rating, partly because the song is an absolute classic, and partly because it is a song that praises ordinary workers.
Doesn't this sincere and simple love and yearning for a better life deserve a 9.9?
As for the claim that it's vulgar, that's pure nonsense. The Book of Songs says, "A fair maiden is the object of a gentleman's affections," so where is the vulgarity?
This direct, intense, and even somewhat clumsy expression of emotion is precisely what is most scarce on the stage today.
It is imperfect, but it is precisely this imperfection that gives it flesh and blood, and warmth.
For ordinary people, life revolves around these simplest emotions and hopes.
"Unfortunately, this song isn't really suitable for us."
They are both too young to sing with that feeling. The female vocal part of this song is very difficult; only national-level singers could handle it.
"What do you think about having our great-uncle and the senior Zhong Qing sing this song?"
Yu Wei suddenly had this rather unorthodox idea: Old Ye has been sucking up to him for most of his life, why not give him a hand and see what happens... (End of Chapter)
