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

"Teacher Yu, let's get down to business."

Sitting opposite Yu Wei was Chen Yaohua, the production director of Xianjing Film Industry, a man in his fifties with gray hair but sharp eyes.

Qi Luoan worked day and night for several days and finally finished writing the script for "The Myth". Today, Yu Wei came to discuss cooperation.

It's all or nothing; he sacrificed so much for this script...

Chen Yaohua opened the script evaluation report in front of him. "Our evaluation team has read this script three times."

The electronic version of the script was received last night, and the evaluation meeting was held overnight. Yu Wei's work must be given the respect it deserves.

This is an epic drama that blends Qin and Han history with fantasy elements, which seems somewhat outdated in today's film and television market...

"Evaluations are polarized."

Chen Yaohua bluntly stated, "Some people believe that this is one of the most original scripts in recent years, with a grand worldview and well-developed character arcs."

"Others believe that the time-travel theme is a bit outdated and its market acceptance is questionable."

Yu Wei nodded in understanding. Although time-travel dramas on Blue Star were not banned, they were indeed somewhat outdated. They had been overdone by films and television dramas from ten years ago, and making one now would be considered a renaissance.

"I think it's worth a try."

It's true that it's outdated, and the script for "The Myth" is only so-so, but in any case, it's still much better than the low-quality historical dramas of today.

To put it bluntly, even if an old TV series received mixed reviews, it would still be competitive today. Since they all cost a lot of money, why not make something watchable?

This thing doesn't stand up to close scrutiny. Yu Weiyi's mind is filled with meticulously smoothed and beautified images, the affected attempts to look cool and cute while coughing up blood, and the stereotypical shouting...

It wasn't just empty talk; he must have come prepared to discuss cooperation.

"Based on the performance of the period drama market over the past five years, pure historical dramas averaged a 1.2% viewership rating, while period dramas incorporating fantasy elements reached a peak of 2.8%."

"This is precisely the core selling point of 'Mythology'."

Chen Yaohua seemed somewhat surprised by Yu Wei's meticulous preparation. To be honest, even if Yu Wei was just making empty promises, they would still have taken the script.

After all, his influence is undeniable, so his scripts are sure to be popular. The script for "The Myth" has flaws, but it also has many merits. Even if it's not great, it won't lose money.

Unexpectedly, Yu Wei presented data and facts directly, showing a sincere attitude of cooperation. This pragmatism greatly increased Chen Yaohua's goodwill towards him.

Compared to the charity of a "superior," this kind of equal exchange is a breath of fresh air in today's film and television industry.

This script is worth their involvement, especially since it can also be linked to the upcoming film "The Myth".

Given Yu Wei's attitude, what else is there to say?

The two parties hit it off immediately, and after officially signing the contract, they began to discuss the specific details of the cooperation.

"As for directing, I think a director needs to have the ability to balance history and fantasy, and cannot neglect one side."

Yu Wei was happy to be a hands-off manager; the filming cycle for TV dramas was too long, and he definitely wouldn't have time to handle it.

Chen Yaohua nodded in agreement, but there was a clear hesitation in his expression, as if he wanted to say something but held back.

"I have a favor to ask..."

After a brief internal struggle, he finally revealed the company's idea: they planned to invite several of Yu Wei's subordinates to play the lead roles.

After the Spring Festival Gala, their commercial value skyrocketed. If they could invite a few more of them, the show's influence would increase even more.

Little did they know that Xianjing Film and Television Company's idea had just gone against their own wishes. Yu Wei had the same idea, and before he could even bring it up, the other party asked first.

Come to think of it, these guys are no longer the little bastards who needed connections to get in; now they're highly sought after, and people are begging them to act.

"I need to discuss this with them." Yu Wei decided to play hard to get; agreeing too readily would make it easy for them to lower the price. Let them handle the details themselves.

This time it wasn't him who filmed it, so I won't let everyone get away with it for free. Anyway, the film company is paying for it.

The preparation time for TV series is relatively long, taking at least several months. Yu Wei can take this opportunity to expand into overseas markets.

"The Flower That Is Loved and the Flower That Is Not Loved" has climbed to 26th on the Cherry Blossom Hot Song Chart, which has given him a lot of exposure.

However, reaching this position is already the limit; it's unlikely that they can make it into the top twenty.

This song is a classic, but the Japanese music scene is not lacking in classics. Many songs from twenty or thirty years ago can still dominate the hot song charts. It is definitely not something he can surpass in a short period of time.

Moreover, Yu Wei's male voice simply cannot capture the feeling of Miyuki Nakajima; this song is more suitable for a female voice.

The crack has been opened; the next step is to gradually widen it into a canyon, and keep posting until everyone on the other side knows who he is.

Yu Wei has already thought of the second song for "going to sea". He has sung this song before, the original version of "Red Sun" is "Sore ga Daiji".

He had already redeemed the song and was just waiting to release it, since the competition was in a few days and he could also do a reissue of "Red Sun".

Shen Yutong's competition ended some time ago, and in the end, "The Wind Blows the Wheat" lived up to expectations and won the competition.

He is currently writing the fifth match, featuring indigenous singer Deng Shi against internet celebrity singer Chen Chen. Deng Shi needs no introduction, but Chen Chen's achievement of reaching this stage is absolutely beyond Yu Wei's expectations.

It can only be said that this person who quickly became an apprentice is indeed smart and knows how to navigate the internet, but this is definitely her limit.

Tricks are nothing in the face of absolute strength.

After leaving the Xianjing Film and Television Company building, Yu Wei immediately shared the good news with her friends.

Upon hearing that they had the opportunity to participate in "The Myth," the entire group was in an uproar. Although they had gained fame, they were still essentially nouveau riche and clearly couldn't keep their composure.

[Can't you be a little more ambitious? You're a popular celebrity, after all.]
However, Yu Wei doesn't need them to stand on their own. Some shortcomings are not a problem as long as they follow the right person. As long as they are obedient and willing to work hard, that's fine.

Meanwhile, Fei Hong and Zhou Mumu were also happy, as Xianjing Film and Television had taken the initiative to show goodwill, and the casting for the film would definitely be more favorable.

His script revitalized the entire situation, saving Zhou Mumu from dire straits once again... Yu Wei's kindness can never be repaid.

However, as the lead actors in the film, it's inconvenient for them to appear in the TV series. So they won't be involved in the TV version of "The Myth." As long as everyone has fun, that's fine.

Great Ape: [I've read the script, but the male lead is completely different from what I expected.]
As Yu Weiqin's chosen candidate for the role of Yi Xiaochuan, Qi Yuan was greatly impressed after reading the script.

It seems the brother-in-law isn't too happy with this role. Come to think of it, this kind of hypocritical, double-standard character isn't very likable.

This time, Yu Wei won't trick him; an outsider will do.

[If you don't want to act...]
Great Ape: [What are you saying? I definitely have to act it out.]
This role is different from what he imagined; it's even better than he expected!
Hearing that it was a time-travel drama, he thought it would be a typical "overpowered protagonist" story where he goes back to ancient times, uses modern ideas to show off and slap others in the face, and becomes a powerful ruler.

Unexpectedly, the protagonist has a broader vision and higher awareness. In order not to change history, he witnesses the departure of his friends one by one.

Compared to those who roam the chaotic world, those who witness history are the true heroes!
[This role is absolutely perfect for me.]
Yu Wei was stunned for a long time after seeing Qi Yuan's message. The male lead deserved to earn this money.

In fact, Yi Xiaochuan's original image was positive; it was just that the character was poorly portrayed, meaning he had good ideas but poor execution.

Qi Yuan's ability to see this layer is actually a manifestation of his script reading ability, not a sign of being naive. It's a good thing for actors to have their own understanding.

Chapter Three: [That's great! Can I play Qin Shi Huang?]
Yu Wei originally wanted to cast Zhang Lingye as Xiang Yu, but unexpectedly, he immediately offered to play Qin Shi Huang. Isn't this a kind of "he can be replaced"?

However, this age isn't quite right; in this drama, he's portraying Qin Shi Huang in his later years...

Chapter Three: [Nothing else, I just think Qin Shi Huang could sleep with Qi Yuan's wife.]
666, and there's even an NTR element. (End of Chapter)
