Chapter 353 CCTV Can't Do Without Me
Yu Wei found herself trending on social media as soon as she stepped out of CCTV, and the hashtag wasn't very friendly: #YuWeiIsNotHuman?
What resentment what?
He clicked on it and found it was an interview with other Spring Festival Gala guests, in which one of his colleagues jokingly called him inhuman, which resonated with many people.
Saying someone else isn't human carries a hint of malice, but saying Yu Wei isn't human is simply stating a fact; that guy does occasionally act like someone else.
In the comments section of the interview video, besides the jokes about Yu Wei, there were also many discussions about the Spring Festival Gala itself. No matter how bad the Spring Festival Gala is, people will still pay attention to it.
"Yu Xie Xie is indeed going to be on the Spring Festival Gala."
"What bad things did Yu Wei do to deserve such a evaluation?"
"It feels like I've broken down the defenses of my peers, it's familiar."
"It was so great to hear Yu Wei sing on New Year's Eve, but it was a pity that I didn't get enough of it."
Normally, singers only participate in one or two programs, and for Yu Wei's fans, one or two songs are indeed not enough.
We usually play a couple of songs at small events like concerts and variety show finales, so we should play a few more for everyone to enjoy during holidays.
"Don't worry, there will be songs, and there will be a Spring Festival Gala."
Netizens' comments perfectly matched Yu Wei's thoughts. He knew everyone wanted to hear more, so he specially organized a fake Spring Festival Gala. You're welcome.
He casually flipped through a few pages and even saw interviews with Tong Yulu and Chi Leying. The two did a good job of keeping it a secret. The videos didn't have much substance, but the comments section was fiercely debated.
The two fan groups are still arguing, each accusing the other of not deserving to be on the Spring Festival Gala...
Originally, it was a joyous occasion for their idol to appear on the Spring Festival Gala, but seeing that their rival also went made them feel like they were wearing new shoes but stepping on history, which was extremely upsetting.
"What a tragic couple."
Actually, Yu Wei arranged a duet for the two of them during the fake Spring Festival Gala. There was no other reason than to see the fans of both sides unite to help the song climb the charts.
To compete with the Spring Festival Gala, we must unite all forces that can be united. Putting the two of them together won't even require marketing; the fans will explode on their own.
However, their coordination is terrible, and their singing is still not very good...
After watching it once, Yu Wei fully realized what "competitive chorus" meant. If one person starts high, the other has to start even higher. If one person is half a beat behind, the other doesn't even wait and starts singing right away. No wonder it sounds bad.
He thought that "Pinky Promise" wasn't difficult.
Although choosing this song was indeed a bit wicked, he couldn't help but laugh every time he saw the two of them rehearsing with their silly faces.
At least in Tong Yulu and Chi Leying's eyes, there was nothing wrong with the trending topic; this guy was definitely not human.
Yu Wei's definition of a fake Spring Festival Gala is comprehensive. In addition to classic old songs, he also included a few youthful works, casting a wide net to catch key ones.
"Let's write the public service advertisement first."
Advertisements are also entertainment works, so they are naturally within the scope of redemption. Originally, Yu Wei did not plan to redeem the ones he wrote directly, since the advertisements were very short and he remembered the plot.
However, he soon realized that the most outstanding aspects of the advertisement were not just the plot and dialogue, but also the camera language and the arrangement of the shots.
If we just submit a script, they probably won't understand it. If we want to satisfy Director Feng, we need to be as professional as possible.
This time, Yu Wei learned his lesson and didn't directly write "public service advertisement" into the plot, but instead wrote it as a short film.
He's too honest. If he had turned his sketches into comedy short films, he would have had far fewer haters. After all, he has achieved some success in the short film field, so people would be more likely to believe him.
Once bitten, twice shy. It's not too late to change your tune this time. The advertisement is a short film, so there's nothing wrong with it, right?
It would be much simpler to insert the short film into the novel's plot. Wei Yu, the protagonist who served as a judge, watched the short film produced by CCTV for the Spring Festival and gave his own insights.
Yu Wei wrote two in one go. One was the classic "Come Home Often," and the phrase "Busy, everyone's busy, being busy is good" came from this advertisement.
Another Yu Weize chose "Caring for the Elderly - Packing Up Dumplings", which features an elderly father with Alzheimer's bringing dumplings to his son, a famous scene from a public service advertisement.
Both films are about family, but they are completely different in style. He didn't know where Feng Yang's focus was, so he simply arranged two.
As long as the answers are comprehensive enough, he can always guess the questions correctly; he's determined to get this collaboration...
The next morning, Yu Wei went to the studio of Xingmou Company. The team members were very enthusiastic in their rehearsals, which made Yu Wei very happy.
They don't know if the fake Spring Festival Gala can beat the real one, but at least they want to beat their past selves.
"Second brother, what were those two short videos of yours for last night?"
Qi Yuan came to greet him from afar. Based on his understanding of Yu Wei, he knew that Yu Wei was probably planning something big. How could such an important matter be left out?
"You do not know?"
Yu Wei just finished updating yesterday, and several friends asked him about it. He replied to each of them. I didn't expect this guy to be so out of touch with the world.
Didn't anyone tell him?
Yu Wei sighed inwardly and simply created a group chat for everyone, tentatively named "Spring Festival Gala Squad".
"You guys talk amongst yourselves, I have to go to CCTV."
The next rehearsal is in a week. Yu Wei was just there today to discuss advertising cooperation in detail, and it has nothing to do with the Spring Festival Gala.
He hadn't taken more than a few steps when a new message popped up in the new group chat.
Great Ape: [Could you please find out if I was selected for the show? Thanks.]
Qi Yuan's ID...
"Would it kill you to just speak to me when we're this close?"
"It's just a 'warm and cozy' group, give it an administrator."
Yu Wei could tell that his brother-in-law was a bit obsessed with officialdom; he even wanted to get a government job in a chat group.
He could ask about being selected for the show, but he didn't want to talk to the management; he was afraid his brother-in-law would go crazy and kick Qi Luoan out.
[By the way, remember to report your rehearsal progress in the group chat.]
LuLuWuWei: [An old capitalist.]
Pronounced "yue" not "le": [↑This won't get you fired↑]
……
"Let's see what excuse you're going to come up with today."
Xu Zhen looked at the screen and saw two call logs and four missed calls. She resolutely pressed the dial button.
He really just wanted to invite Yu Wei for tea. The fake Spring Festival Gala was just a topic for casual conversation. Why couldn't he invite her over?
"Hey, Teacher Yu, what are you busy with today?"
On the phone, Yu Wei's answer was simple and direct: something happened, something important.
Xu Zhenke doesn't accept this reason. If he's busy with nothing important, then he must be preparing for a fake Spring Festival Gala. Has he finally admitted it?
"What's keeping Teacher Yu so busy? Is she up to something?"
He just wanted Yu Wei to admit it, so he could have an explanation to his superiors. He would report it in advance, and whether or not they would interfere was up to them.
It's good that the authorities took swift and decisive action to stop Yu Wei's fake Spring Festival Gala, but if the authorities don't take it seriously and the fake Spring Festival Gala ends up ruining the show, he won't take the blame.
Just as Xu Zhen was anticipating Yu Wei's response, a cryptic statement came through the phone.
"It's hard to explain in a short time. I'll be there soon and I'll tell you then."
Are you coming soon?
What does that mean? Didn't he say he couldn't come because of something? Why is he saying he'll be there soon...?
Before he could even ask, Yu Wei hung up the phone, which infuriated Xu Zhen. Are all young people these days so arrogant?
He tried calling twice more, but Yu Wei didn't answer. Just as Xu Zhen was getting angry and was about to report it directly, there was a knock on the office door.
"It's me, Yu Wei."
They actually came?
Xu Zhen's expression changed instantly. He set out the tea set and called out, "Please come in." He had been searching high and low, but now he had found it without any effort. He smiled and invited Yu Wei to sit down, but his gaze subtly drifted to the documents in the other's hand.
"Teacher Yu, what's going on?"
"Oh dear, I'm here at CCTV on business, I really don't have time to drink this tea."
Yu Wei briefly mentioned the public service advertisement, and then glanced at the tea on the table: "If all else fails, I'll take two jin back with me."
Director Feng Yang?
Xu Zhen's thought process was a little slow to catch up. How did these two know each other? One works behind the scenes at CCTV, and the other is a singer in front of the stage. They seem to have nothing in common.
What exactly is this public service advertisement? Does Yu Wei have this skill?
Although it sounded confusing, Yu Wei was definitely not lying to him. It would be easy to verify within CCTV, so there was no need to put himself in danger.
"Can I see it?"
Xu Zhen was curious about what kind of public service advertisement Yu Wei wrote, but before she could reach for the document, Yu Wei pressed it down.
"That won't do. This is a trade secret before we start working together, and you're not even in the same department."
Xu Zhen felt like she was about to explode with anger. This kind of thing could have been explained over the phone, but Yu Wei insisted on coming in person, which was obviously a provocation.
I'll be right under your nose, and you still can't do anything about it.
It's one thing to come to our door and provoke us, but to not even let us see you, how can he have the nerve to say he's taking two pounds of tea with him?
"I won't bother Director Xu anymore, I'm afraid Director Feng will misunderstand."
Yu Wei came over mainly to let him see for himself that he was indeed busy and would be busy with this matter for quite some time to come, so that he wouldn't have to call again.
Watching Yu Wei leave, Xu Zhen couldn't help but punch the solid wood table, making the tea set on the table shake.
"That kid definitely did it on purpose!"
If Yu Wei were busy with something else, he could have easily accused the other party of preparing a fake Spring Festival Gala, but since they came to CCTV on their own initiative, it was as if they were directly asking him to provide an alibi.
Now that the report has been published, Yu Wei has something to say: He was clearly engaging in friendly cooperation with CCTV, so why are you slandering him out of thin air?
Xu Zhen didn't dare to gamble; who knew if the fake Spring Festival Gala actually happened...
"No, I have to go and take a look."
Xu Zhen got up and followed. He suddenly realized something: Yu Wei's cooperation was only in the discussion and had not been finalized.
If Director Feng doesn't like this kid's script, then the cooperation won't happen, and Yu will have plenty of time to "have tea" with him.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhen's steps became much more arrogant. Public service advertisements should at least have some morality, right? This kid is full of bad ideas, where does he get any morality?
When he arrived at Feng Yang's office, the discussion about the public service advertisement had already begun. Director Feng was sitting there reading the script, and when he saw Xu Zhen, he was clearly taken aback.
"Director Xu, what brings you here?"
Liao Ling, who was sitting to the side, did not expect Xu Zhen to come today. She came because she was curious about Yu Wei's advertising plan. It seems that Director Xu is similar.
"I heard Yu Wei wants to cooperate with you, so I came to see what's going on."
After saying that, he glanced at Yu Wei and said, "I have high hopes for him."
Do you really think it's a good prospect?
Yu Wei was a hundred percent skeptical. This old man was clearly looking for an opportunity, hoping that he would fail to reach an agreement.
Fortunately, he had prepared two plans in advance, so if one didn't work, he would have another. Director Xu was probably going to make a wasted trip.
Feng Yang was reviewing the proposal for "Come Home Often". Before even reading the content, she noticed the details about Yu Wei. In addition to the plot, there were also various shooting designs, which were quite professional.
Yu Wei made a good first impression on her; he was down-to-earth and serious, which was the mark of a sincere partner.
The camera cuts in from a close-up, showing an elderly woman busy chopping vegetables in the kitchen. The phone rings, and she quickly wipes her hands to answer it.
The first call came from my eldest son, who had canceled his plans to go home due to a company engagement and hurriedly inquired about the microwave's usage.
The old lady's expectations turned to disappointment, but she still managed to suppress her emotions and answer, "I don't lack anything."
The grandmother was about to speak when her grandson called to say he was going to the amusement park and wouldn't be coming home; her daughter called to say she was going to a fitness class, and the grandmother reluctantly put down the phone.
During the three calls, the camera captured the gradual change in the elderly woman's expression from joy to disappointment through close-ups, especially the scene of her holding the receiver, listening to the busy tone, and sighing with her head down.
"Busy, everyone's busy, it's good to be busy."
The old man's sigh is the highlight of the entire advertisement. On the surface, the dialogue is a self-comforting expression of understanding his children's busy lives, but the pauses in his tone and the trembling at the end of his voice reveal a suppressed sense of loss.
"Being busy is good" is not a genuine endorsement, but rather an elderly person's helpless compromise with the absence of family affection.
Feng Yang watched it carefully. Yu Wei's camera work and scene design were very vivid, so much so that she had already constructed the corresponding scenario in her mind.
Although the advertisement is told from the perspective of a lonely elderly person, it does not deliberately criticize the children, but rather presents the emotional gap between the two generations with a gentle touch.
If it were a similar advertisement, it would have already started criticizing the children, but this work is very delicate. The phrase "It's good to be busy" does not blame anyone or impose moral constraints.
He simply created a slightly melancholic scene to resonate with the audience.
This public service advertisement is quite sophisticated; it weaves its viewpoints into the story so that everyone can experience them for themselves, rather than blatantly writing things down and instructing others on how to do things.
Seeing the serious expression on Feng Yang's face, Xu Zhen's expression gradually became more interesting. This Director Feng is usually quiet, but very strict when working. It seems that Yu Wei's script is not good.
Let's just be honest and go back with him for tea.
"You are a genius, Teacher Yu."
Feng Yang put down the proposal and couldn't help but praise Yu Wei, saying that the idea was fantastic and the design was very well done.
If she had looked at the plan first and then the person, she would never have guessed that it was written by Yu Wei, an amateur.
Xu Zhen was struck dumb upon hearing this. What was going on? Was Yu Wei's advertisement design really that good?
If you designed it well, why are you wearing such a stern face...?
"I have fulfilled my mission, Director Xu."
Yu Wei's words were a response to Xu Zhen's earlier statement that he "had faith in" him. Since Xu Zhen had such faith in him, Yu Wei had to prove him right.
I'm sorry, it seems I can't have tea with you. CCTV can't do without me.
Xu Zhen forced a smile. So what exactly did this kid write that made the usually strict Director Feng so full of praise?
As the two reached an agreement and prepared to sign the contract, he felt as if countless horses were galloping through his mind, nothing but mud horses.
"that……"
In the end, it was Liao Ling who interrupted their conversation. Xu Zhen raised an eyebrow. Could it be that Yu Hei was finally going to make his move?
"Isn't there another advertisement?"
As a seasoned reader, Liao Ling had already read the new chapter. There were two public service advertisements in the story, and the one on the table seemed to be just one of them.
Xu Zhen and Feng Yang were both stunned, somewhat taken aback.
One more? (End of Chapter)
