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

Are you hiding something from me?

During filming, Yu Wei keenly noticed that Qi Yuan's condition was not quite right. His brother-in-law was a good person in every way, except that he couldn't keep things to himself.

He's the kind of person who can secretly be happy and then burst out laughing the next second. He's not naturally good at scheming, and he can't help but show off even the smallest schemes he has...

He never used to look at me with such a serious and formal gaze, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"It's nothing, what could possibly happen to me?"

Qi Yuan's face darkened. "No way, they could see that out?"
They've only been allied for a short time; if this gets discovered immediately, it'll be like taking off your pants to fart—a pointless scheme.

He devised the plan to exterminate the natives!

"You better really be okay."

Yu Wei didn't ask any more questions. After all, judging from the situation, he didn't intend to tell him anything. Small things don't need to be asked, but big things can't be kept secret.

"I'm a little nervous because the competition is just around the corner."

Qi Yuan doesn't lie, so he chose to tell the truth, but he was talking about the later matches, while it sounded like he was talking about the present.

Yu Weicai only started writing during the eighth match.

As Qi Yuan's opponent in this match, Fei Ting is strong, but he doesn't have many representative works. His most representative song is in Qi Yuan's possession.

Using someone else's masterpiece to attack someone else is nothing to be nervous about; it's just like piloting a Gundam.

This time, Yu Wei didn't hide anything and directly stated that Qi Yuan's entry was "A Spray of Plum Blossoms".

This storyline sparked heated discussion as soon as it was released, because everyone had heard the song title before...

"A Spray of Plum Blossoms," isn't that the song Fei Ting sang in the second round of the competition? Although he didn't elaborate much on it, his performance was very complete.

This song is also one that Yu Wei owes. He has kept the song title hidden ever since it appeared. I thought he would find an opportunity to sing it, but who would have thought that Qi Yuan would sing it instead.

Give it to me if you want, but at this critical juncture, you want to challenge Fei Ting to a duel by singing his songs? You're not just killing him, you're destroying his spirit too.
The controversy arose even before the competition began: who should be credited if Qi Yuan won? Even if he won with "Yi Jian Mei," it seemed like the opponent wouldn't have lost...

On the contrary, Qi Yuan's own merit has decreased. He used someone else's tricks to win, which is not a fair victory.

This is why Qi Yuan didn't want to use "Yi Jian Mei" in the first place; if he won, he would be criticized, and if he lost, it would be humiliating.

But there's nothing we can do. Who would have thought that the movie's trailer would come out at this crucial moment? We can only bite the bullet and compete.

Blame it on the little sister's "unpredictable" draw; if he were competing against someone else, would he have to worry so much?
It's good that we sang "A Spray of Plum Blossoms" this time; we'll keep "Night Flight" in reserve for when we need it.

Switching songs with Shen Yutong was probably the best decision he'd made recently, because the song wasn't suitable for a female singer, and it was perfect for him.

His songs were originally more lyrical, so giving them to the other party was a win-win situation.

"Hopefully this time it will be a close call."

The follow-up plans are all laid out clearly. It would be ridiculous to eliminate them outright this time. The number one seed is in the round of 16...

It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous at all; Fei Ting's classical bel canto singing style is not to be underestimated.

We will win!
That afternoon, Yu Wei received the trailer edited by Xingmou Films.

Unlike the first trailer's campus theme, this one focuses on Charlotte's "rebirth," with a strong sense of nostalgia and a filter that evokes a return to the past.

Yu Wei glanced at it briefly and found that the editing was fine. What surprised him was the last scene of the trailer.

[July 17th, one-click rebirth.]
"It's finally been scheduled for release."

Yu Wei only knew that the movie would be released during the summer vacation, but the exact date hadn't been decided before. However, after seeing the detailed date, he finally had a better idea of ​​what was going on. It seemed that the editing work was basically completed, otherwise they wouldn't have written the release date down so openly.

As for why 7.17 was chosen, perhaps the people behind Xingmou are a bit superstitious and wanted to use Yu Wei's lucky number to secure box office success.

With three months until the movie's release, Yu Wei can still find a few more opportunities to promote it. He's been promoting it for so long; it would be a disservice to these heavyweight songs if it didn't gross billions at the box office.

After the indigenous singers' works were tuned, Yu Wei immediately arranged the final battle of the fourth round of the competition.

The Lich King versus the legendary king of resilience: who will prevail?
In the past, when there were human-machine competitions like this, everyone would first listen to the new songs of the local singers, and then listen to the songs chosen by the real person, because the former was full of surprises.

But this time, everyone's purpose was very clear: nine out of ten viewers clicked on Qi Yuan's "A Spray of Plum Blossoms" without prior agreement.

It's not just curiosity about Yu Wei's stock, but also because this song is the core of the competition; no matter who wins or loses, this song will never lose.

They clicked on it excitedly, only to find an unusual opening: a figure standing dejectedly in front of a broken mirror, looking at himself.

But everyone quickly realized that this was not Yu Wei. His slightly greasy face showed the dejection and disappointment of a middle-aged man. He must be a character from a movie.

In this simple scene, everyone clearly felt Yu Wei's acting skills. She was able to handle a character that was not commensurate with her age, which is a testament to her solid acting ability.

In the quiet darkness, the melodious and familiar tune of "A Spray of Plum Blossoms" quietly began to play.

Qi Yuan's singing voice carries a touch of nostalgic sadness and warmth. The camera slowly zooms in, and the first thing that catches the eye is the profile of middle-aged Xia Luo.

The music gently sets the stage, and the lyrics "True feelings are as vast as the grasslands" seem to hint at Charlotte's undying longing, subtly resonating with the film's core theme of "rebirth."

The next moment, the scene abruptly changes, and in a flashback with overlapping memories, Charlotte transforms into the spirited young man in his school uniform from the first trailer.

The disheveled man in front of the mirror is intertwined with vivid fragments of his youthful memories.

This stark contrast between the present and the past successfully creates a powerful sense of time travel, as if time is distorted and retraced in the music.

When the climax of the music, "Snowflakes are falling, the north wind is howling," begins, the scene freezes on the moment Charlotte falls from the high-rise building.

This is not the end, but the beginning of rebirth.

Upon seeing this, netizens' curiosity about the movie reached its peak. There's even a scene of someone jumping off a building. Are the movie elements really that rich?
The poignant yet not overly sorrowful tone of "A Spray of Plum Blossoms" infuses the film with a poetic quality, making even scenes that are clearly meant to be comedic feel more meaningful.

Everyone eagerly watched the movie clips, even forgetting to listen to the songs.

Not showing anything at all is just teasing, but showing something without letting you taste it is the most tempting. The two trailers have completely different styles and the visuals don't overlap at all. They're really drooling with envy.

The climax of the trailer features a perfect blend of music and visuals.

The chorus of "A Spray of Plum Blossoms" plays again, and the scene jumps between Xia Luo's success and his loss: he enjoys the vanity that fame brings, but also faces emptiness alone in the dead of night.

The lyric "This love will forever remain in my heart" reflects Xia Luo's gradually awakening inner self—rebirth is not only for success and fame, but also for finding the lost true love.

What's strange is that Qi Yuan would appear in the video intentionally or unintentionally every time the song reached its climax.

According to movie information, his role in the film shouldn't be that big. What does that mean?

This is a little Easter egg hidden by the film production team; you'll find out after the movie is released.

The promotional text only appeared after the song ended: Movie Promotional Video: "Goodbye Mr. Loser" - "A Cut Plum Blossom".

The second song is another heavyweight.

However, everyone was so focused on watching the movie clips that they didn't really listen to the songs properly.

Just as they were about to derail the progress bar and listen to it again, eight large characters popped up in the center of the screen. (End of Chapter)
