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

"The common people of the Qin Dynasty, changing clothes."

Under Yu Wei's watchful gaze, the group of extras, led by the stagehands, entered the warehouse.

Xianjing Film and Television's wealth far exceeded Yu Wei's expectations. The costumes and props were quite authentic, with several rows of clothes racks neatly arranged. What was displayed were not crudely made period costumes, but rather dark hemp and brown colors.

During the Qin Dynasty, commoners were only allowed to use mineral dyes; plant-based dyes were forbidden. This ochre color is correct.

They turned a period fantasy drama into a historical drama. Director Chen Yaohua's answer was simple: the costumes, props and sets were historically accurate enough to make the time travel feel more real.

It just goes to show how good it is to be rich. While other period dramas are still filled with internet celebrity makeup and costumes, this one is already rolling out costumes for extras.

However, after careful consideration, Yu Wei realized there was no problem. The production of "The Myth" was quite good back then, and with the progress of the times, it's normal for the costumes, props, and sets to be more refined now that filming is underway.

Those who want to make good films should strive for further improvement; the collective decline of the film and television industry is a sign of regression.

Today we're filming the scene where Yi Xiaochuan travels back in time to the execution ground. Yu Wei noticed that everyone's hairstyles are more authentic. People in the Qin Dynasty valued their hair in a topknot, and men had to tie their hair up; those who didn't were considered criminals.

The characters who were about to be taken to the execution ground were indeed disheveled, including Qi Yuan, whose denim t-shirt looked out of place among the "ancient people".

His attire was so out of place that it truly gave people the illusion of traveling through time.

This scene is quite classic. The male lead is about to be beheaded after time-traveling, but he is saved by a cell phone ringing, which allows him to be held back until the people who are storming the execution ground arrive.

To put it bluntly, without cell phones, the series would have ended much earlier...

"I think it would be better to take a mobile phone advertisement. That way, we won't need any hard advertising, and the soft product placement won't affect the plot."

Seeing Qi Yuan's disheveled appearance, Zhang Lingye began to offer suggestions: "A phone that can save lives would surely sell like hotcakes."
At Yu Wei's suggestion, he finally played Xiang Yu. Although he could play Qin Shi Huang, his age was simply not suitable.

He's about to storm the execution ground; he's just waiting for the director's order.

Seeing the thriving film crew, Yu Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he didn't need to get involved here.

The TV series "The Myth" was originally just average and didn't need him to make any minor adjustments, but he had to watch the part where Zhao Gao turned evil.

"Teacher Yu, your song is a perfect match for this drama. Would you be willing to give it up?"

Chen Yaohua was referring to "Beautiful Myth," a song whose title and lyrics were essentially tailor-made for the story, and they certainly couldn't miss it.

While a theme song may not affect the quality of a drama, it can greatly increase its popularity; a good theme song is a living advertisement.

Even bad movies can have catchy songs, and local dramas with songs will be mentioned – these are all genuine forms of publicity.

"No, I've already given 'Beautiful Myth' to the film company."

This song was originally the theme song for the movie version. Yu Weiyi has always respected the original work, but after hearing his explanation, Chen Yaohua sighed silently.

That's the downside of having two versions made by the same company; it easily creates competition. Having the same name isn't scary; what's embarrassing is who looks worse. The same applies to film and television dramas.

They've given such a great theme song to the movie, what do they have to compete with?

Regardless of which version receives better reviews, they've already fallen short in terms of promotional music alone. They'll be getting a hard time in the meeting later...

Just as Chen Yaohua was deciding to think of other solutions, Yu Wei coughed twice, saying, "Well, the wool comes from the sheep's back."

After being prompted by him, Chen Yaohua immediately realized that Yu Wei's songs could not be beaten by anyone else; only he himself could handle them.

It would be more appropriate for him to ask the musician himself to write the script. It would be a waste of time to leave such a top-notch musician out of the way.

"Teacher Yu, could it be that..."

"Some musical inspiration did come to mind while I was writing the script."

Yu Wei could make up lies without batting an eye; in reality, the song was already prepared, and even the script was ghostwritten by Qi Luo'an.

However, his statement was undoubtedly very convincing to the directing team. Although "Beautiful Myth" was suitable, it was still more suitable for a movie.

They should have their own songs.

"Teacher Yu, we really need a song..."

Before Chen Yaohua could finish speaking, Yu Wei interrupted him, saying, "One song, 'Who Do You Look Down On?', the theme song, the ending song, plus three insert songs—five songs in one package."

I will say a number.

Yu Wei showed five fingers, “Five songs, sincerely for sale.”

Unlike movies, TV dramas typically have several hit songs, and these songs are highly integrated with the plot, so taking them out on their own wouldn't be as effective. Adhering to the principle of not wasting resources, Yu Wei decided to make the most of them: five songs bundled together for sale—take it or leave it…

"Take the young master?"

Even though Chen Yaohua was used to big events, he was still a little taken aback when he heard this. Five songs? That's covering all the music for the entire series!

Is there such a good thing?

This is definitely good news for the production team. Yu Wei's songs are of guaranteed quality, and his personal involvement saves everyone the trouble of putting in extra effort.

Moreover, as the screenwriter, he is certain that all the songs are suitable for the story, so there is absolutely no need to worry about them being unsuitable.

This is a true all-inclusive package. The other side only has one song, but they have five. Just thinking about it makes me laugh in my sleep.

"That's great, Teacher Yu. We'll take as many as you have, and the price is negotiable."

The assistant director next to him was visibly excited, as if he was afraid that if he talked too slowly, the other side would snatch the song away. He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to talking about money.

"It's definitely negotiable."

Yu Wei didn't intend to ask for an exorbitant price. The quality of the songs in "Myth" varied, so he would sell them at a friendly price.

Xianjing Film and Television treated him very well, so he couldn't be too opportunistic. Doing a favor was the best solution.

Is it really necessary to be so surprised by five songs? Who knows how many songs we'll package together when we film other kinds of movies later...

After discussing the details of the collaboration, Yu Wei started to slack off on his writing on set. Calculating the time, the voting results for the seventh competition would be out soon, and he would need to advance the subsequent chapters based on the competition results.

He was shocked to find that the two songs were only about ten votes apart.

what happened?

Judging from netizens' comments, it's clear that "A Song for All Tastes" is more appealing and has a wider audience. This morning when he left home, Xu Gao was in the lead, but after all this time, the votes are almost tied...

Anyone with a brain would know there's something fishy going on here. Yu Wei only realized this after reading the comments; the readers wanted to give him a free ride.

"Yu Wei said that it should be appreciated by both the refined and the common people. As rational fans, we should do as he says."

A bunch of score-control masters appeared in the novel, specializing in helping the weak and punishing the strong...

Yu Wei almost laughed in anger. So, he learned to overinterpret things just because he didn't listen to a single kind word?

It's good to appeal to both refined and popular tastes, but you can't force yourself to be one way or another against your own will. Sure enough, netizens only go from one extreme to another.

If it's a real tie, then we'll have to play a tiebreaker, but they'll probably try to control the score again if they get into a playful mood.

This kind of off-stage behavior is not good for the competition, and Yu Wei didn't want to waste her good song in such a strange place.

"Trying to play dirty tricks on me, huh?"

Readers are just following the lead of the main character. When it comes to the real Yin, Yu Wei is definitely more authoritative. He is the patriarch of the Yin world.

If he wanted to control the score, wouldn't he just vote at the last minute before the results were announced?
Of course, he can't vote himself. The author's likes have special effects, and if the organizer gets involved, it becomes a rigged competition. For the sake of fairness, he has to find an objective and impartial bystander.

With only ten minutes left before the voting deadline, Yu Wei started looking for casual viewers in the film crew. Fans were out of the question, as they were biased and not objective enough.

But to Yu Wei's surprise, after asking around, he discovered that everyone had already voted...

He underestimated his influence; nowadays, his fans are everywhere, not to mention people in the film and television industry.

There is a two-character reading app on my phone.

"Such a large production crew, and not a single fake fan?"

Not only have people voted, but they've all voted, and even those are readers; it's impossible to find an objective and neutral comment...

With only three minutes left, Yu Wei saw Chen Yaohua flipping through a script in the corner. The elderly man rarely used his phone, even during his breaks.

Yes, the older generation doesn't use their phones much, and they might not even have read any books.

Give me your phone.

I'll pay for the upgrade! (End of Chapter)
