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

"Mr. Yu, welcome to Starry Eyes Films."

The receptionist smiled and handed over a temporary work pass. Yu Wei looked at his own serious face in the photo on the pass and felt a strong sense of professionalism about him.

The day after filming wrapped, the entire crew moved to Beijing. The staff began post-production, while the lead actors, including Yu Wei, prepared for the Spring Festival Gala program selection.

Old Qi is a very kind person. He specially set aside a studio in the company for them to rehearse, so Yu Wei and the others finally had a small gathering place.

To make things easier, everyone at Xingmou Film and Television needs a work permit to enter and exit. They simply got a temporary one for each of them so they wouldn't get stuck at the turnstile every day.

"Why do you two have them too?"

Yu Wei turned around and saw that Qi Yuan and Qi Luoan were no exception, each with one.

They're supposed to be the young master and heiress of Xingmou Films, how did they end up like this? They don't get any special treatment at all...

"You might not believe it, but I've only been here three or four times."

Qi Luoan shrugged. Although Lao Qi was the largest shareholder of Xingmou, he kept his personal and professional life very separate, and his life and work were almost two parallel lines.

Let alone her, Qi Yuan, who works in the entertainment industry, has never had any business dealings with Xing Mou. The idea of ​​her inheriting her father's business is completely unfounded.

Perhaps that's why no one in the company said anything to Lao Qi when he was paid to slack off, because he was the most harmless and transparent person in the company's eyes.

The art of open strategy is to control the hearts and minds of the entire game without making a single move.

"Stop worrying about whether he's a young master or not, rehearsals have already started, look at my song..."

Of their group, only his and Chi Leying's program is still undecided. Chi Leying is quite calm, but Qi Yuan is anxious.

Yu Ting was ready before he even arrived, and as Yu Wei's top general, he didn't even get a hair's breadth of credit. Is that right?

"Today's schedule."

Yu Wei left them to the end, which shows he had high hopes for them. It's not unreasonable to give each of them a song to complete the journey, is it?

Their team currently has five programs: a comedy sketch, a chorus piece on patriotism, "Loyalty to the Country" on traditional culture, and Lin Yuting is responsible for inspirational programs.

Yu Wei's own single needs to be decided on the spot. His duet with Qi Luoan is a romantic theme. Currently, the only popular themes for the Spring Festival Gala are family affection and reunion.

To avoid internal competition, he planned to have Qi Yuan and Chi Leying each take charge of one song, focusing on differentiation.

"What else is there to say? Go and start writing!"

The film and television company's studio wasn't large, but it was more than enough for them. Yu Wei could write on the sidelines and supervise their practice, which was quite pleasant.

"What are you standing there for? Go rehearse!"

Singing practice can be done slowly, since everyone has a foundation, but skits require real skill; every minute of extra practice will yield results.

Upon hearing this, Su Jian and the other two didn't dare to say anything more and quickly found a corner to start their performance. At the beginning of the practice, they could read the script to get a feel for it, but later they would have to perform without a script.

They've already been fed; we have to seize the opportunity and take them down...

As the captain of the choir, Zhang Lingye has strong organizational skills, after all, he has been a captain before and has a lot of experience.

Fun fact: Even someone as strong as Yu Wei was on his team for four years.

"What are you doing?"

Everyone else went to rehearsal, but Qi Yuan stood quietly in place, wondering what song Yu Wei would arrange for him.

"I think you need an assistant to help you serve tea and water and supervise their practice progress."

"you're right."

Yu Wei nodded and decisively assigned the task to Qi Luoan, who only had one program to sing with him and had the most free time.

"..."

Qi Yuan was speechless for a moment. He rolled his eyes at Qi Luo'an and then slunk away. If it weren't for his little sister, he would definitely be the person Yu Wei trusted the most.

Damn it, I should have known better than to give her Yu Wei's contact information. One wrong step led to another, and now my good friend has been snatched away.

"Men who don't date are really scary."

Qi Luo'an sighed as she watched her older brother's retreating figure. From childhood to adulthood, she had never heard of any scandals involving Qi Yuan; all she knew was that he fraternized with his cronies.

Is the Qi family line going to end...?

"It's caused by being too career-oriented."

Yu Wei felt that Qi Yuan was quite normal. All chuunibyou boys are like that. Women will only affect their speed of ranking up in solo queue.

However, he couldn't imagine Qi Yuan being in a relationship. Would he tell the other person about his somewhat exaggerated grand ambitions?

Oh, mature women of a certain age should really like this type—youthful, sunny, naive, and good at getting things done. They'd just find it amusing to hear him say these things.

Not knowing where her brother-in-law's marriage prospects lay, Yu Wei smiled and didn't take it to heart. She adjusted her mindset and began her creative work for the day.

As a member of the joint judging panel for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala's comedy and song programs, Wei Yu had been sitting for eight hours straight, listening to thirteen passionate and lyrical song proposals, and was now quite exhausted.

Hearing the simple melody of the new song, he finally calmed down and focused his attention on the straightforward song, "Come Home Often".

From a purely vocal perspective, this song has a narrow vocal range, a smooth melody, and does not showcase the singer's technical skills with high notes or complex rhythmic variations.

According to the usual evaluation criteria, it may be difficult for it to score high in terms of "technical difficulty" and "innovation".

But this topic is very interesting.

"Come Home Often" was a song he prepared for Chi Leying. This song is more suitable for female singers, warm and restrained, straightforward yet thought-provoking.

The song isn't difficult to sing, so Chi Leying should be able to handle it. The theme is also appealing, so her selection should be a sure thing.

The second song was by Qi Yuan. After thinking it over, Yu Wei decided to start with family affection and have him sing "Where Has the Time Gone?"

This song sounds average when listened to through headphones, but it really stood out on the Spring Festival Gala stage, dominating the trending topics that day.

Rather than forced tear-jerking, this song evokes only a gentle sense of emotion, resonating differently with listeners of all ages. The accompanying video footage on the big screen elevates the song's meaning and atmosphere to another level, making it one of the classic performances of the Spring Festival Gala.

Thinking of this, Yu Wei simply added a couple of sentences in the voice of the novel's protagonist.

On the line where he was supposed to write "Reviewer Comments," Wei Yu paused for a long time before finally writing down the following words, stroke by stroke:

Recommendation: The stage presentation must maintain its existing minimalist style; any unnecessary embellishments will disrupt the flow. The large screen imagery is a highlight and must be retained.

With their respective programs now complete, they can launch their final assault on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

Except for my own.

……

"interesting."

Liao Ling found a song that interested her in Yu Wei's Spring Festival Gala segment. The song title, "Come Home Often," was very straightforward, and the content was obvious.

This is a great angle, very much in line with the style of the Spring Festival Gala. With Yu Wei's creative ability, there's no need to worry about the quality of the song.

With economic development and population mobility, family structures are changing, and the phenomenon of empty-nest elderly is becoming increasingly common.

The song title, with its simple five characters, reminds everyone in the most straightforward way that material rewards cannot replace emotional companionship.

Liao Ling sighed. She had to admit that Yu Wei had indeed come prepared; this one layer of design alone left her with no room for rebuttal.

If this song is of good quality, it can get the green light right away...

She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but Yu Wei's so-called "program review" performance had become much more professional these past two days, and some of his views even coincided with her own.

"I must not be fully awake."

She rubbed her eyes and continued looking back. The title of the second song today was also very simple: "Where Has the Time Gone?"

Songs with the theme of time are also very popular on the Spring Festival Gala stage. They can reflect on the past year or reminisce about the peaceful years, and they are also very suitable for combining with family affection.

It can only be said that Yu Wei is indeed Yu Wei. Her song selection was very fitting. Although she didn't want to see Yu Wei's people on stage, such concerns were insignificant in the face of absolute quality.

I don't know if these two songs are just a smokescreen or if they're for real. If they are, she certainly wouldn't dare to underestimate them.

Then, she suddenly noticed the suggestion for this song in the main text of the novel.

"Something."

This opinion is very pertinent and professional. As a director, she is well aware of the impact of the stage atmosphere on the overall program.

If Yu Wei's song is about warmth and tenderness, then the addition of visuals is definitely the finishing touch.

"I must be crazy."

She actually found Yu Wei's words to be very reasonable. Although it was only a few words, she felt that these programs were just like the real ones.

Readers might not notice anything abruptly, but from the perspective of a professional director, these stage presentations are highly feasible.

Liao Ling flipped through the previous chapters and found that Yu Wei's performances, in addition to the performances themselves, did indeed have a lot of stage details.

How can I describe it? It's as if he actually watched these shows, which is why he knows these little details so well.

But, how is this possible?

Even if Yu Wei created the work early, it's impossible that she had already planned out the stage presentation. Don't tell me that Yu Wei can even do the work of a choreographer...

Liao Ling was completely baffled. Although Yu Wei's description of the stage was unremarkable in terms of professionalism, it did have a certain charm when she thought about it carefully.

"That's probably made up."

She couldn't help but recall her comments from a few days ago, saying that Yu Wei was just making things up and taking things for granted. Now it seems that he really wasn't; he was indeed well-prepared.

Liao Ling suddenly had an extremely absurd idea: Is it possible that this guy could actually be a judge for the Spring Festival Gala?
……

"Wow, there's a rich woman here."

Yu Wei was composing music after finishing updating his novel when he suddenly noticed that Ling'er Xiang Jingdang had given him 100000 coins, which was a thousand yuan!

Just a few days ago they were nitpicking like crazy, and today they've inexplicably started giving tips again. Are they using both kindness and threats? When are they going to use their charms?
"Could it be that elementary school students are on winter vacation?"

Qi Luoan seemed to remember something funny, "Fast forward to the refund for minors, let me tell you what happened."

"Hard to say."

Yu Weiyi thought about it and felt that it was indeed possible. If someone could argue so much, it wouldn't be surprising if they were a primary school student.

"You'd be better off saving that money to buy my album."

His album of eleven songs from the third round of the competition was scheduled for release at the beginning of the new year, aiming to rake in the New Year's money from elementary school students.

These days, manufacturers are all eyeing the two coins in everyone's pockets during the Chinese New Year. Games hold events, e-commerce platforms offer discounts, and supermarkets give out benefits. One more or one less won't make a difference.

Of course, this is a joke. The main reason for scheduling it during the Chinese New Year was to prevent people from forgetting about the competition due to the long interval.

Those three unreleased songs were just to attract people; if readers forget about them over time, it would be a waste of effort.

Another issue is the competition process. The fourth round of the competition has already started after the New Year, and the songs in the third round are somewhat "outdated".

The album should be recorded sooner rather than later. Yu Wei plans to set aside some time each day to re-record it, and the version from the previous competition can be further optimized.

"You're good at making money."

Forget about worshipping the God of Wealth during the Lunar New Year, just worship Yu Weide instead... No wonder everyone says there will be abundance every year, they're just waiting for this, right?

"I've already treated everyone to a free fake Spring Festival Gala, so isn't it reasonable for me to do some small business?"

This did remind Yu Wei.

The fake Spring Festival Gala should have a purchase link QR code in the bottom right corner; whatever the real Spring Festival Gala has, I must have too! (End of Chapter)
