"You old thief, hurry up and update!"

"Damn, it really is Yu Wei. Why isn't he here to snipe Sakura?"

"Shocking! Yu Wei received a threat from Yinghua and went to Beijing to seek protection from the organization."

Yu Wei didn't dare look back and quickly left the scene under the guidance of airport security...

He's traveled so many times without incident, but today he was caught by fans at the airport. If even one person notices something like this, one shout and the whole airport will know.

Fortunately, Yu Wei ran fast and did not cause any encirclement or blockade, otherwise his crime would have been much greater.

They had all been fine when they went out together before, but this time he was the only one who got caught on the spot, which is outrageous.

Yu Wei's trip to Beijing this time was certainly not to "seek organizational protection," but rather to give an interview.

With the release of "Goodbye Mr. Loser" imminent, there are always related reports before the release of highly anticipated movies. As the lead actor, screenwriter, and part-time director, he is naturally the best representative.

Yu Wei doesn't usually accept interviews. After all, anyone who studies journalism knows that if you encounter unscrupulous media, you'll be lucky if you don't get your stories taken out of context or subjected to biased reporting, let alone do any publicity.

However, this one is different.

The media outlet that interviewed Yu Wei was CCTV, not another media outlet, but CCTV-6 (the movie channel). Because of its unique style, CCTV-6 is also known as "Princess Six"...

Other CCTV channels are serious and proper; even Channel 14 (Children's Channel) occasionally airs educational films. Only the Movie Channel is rather unconventional.

Not only do they frequently deviate from the scheduled program, but they also change the videos at the last minute based on current events.

They played "Pearl Harbor" during the Japanese Prime Minister's visit to the United States, and "Detective Chinatown" during Wang Baoqiang's divorce...

This unconventional playback style, coupled with its prestigious background, makes the nickname "Sixth Princess" seem quite fitting.

CCTV-6 seems to have readily accepted this nickname, as all official accounts are female and their signatures are "Hmph~".

This can't be criticized; this is a real princess.

They had to give CCTV face, and since Yu Wei also had feelings for the Sixth Princess, they simply agreed to come over.

Being interviewed by the movie channel before the film's release can further boost its existing popularity, so why not?

When Yu Wei escaped from the airport, the interview team from CCTV-6's "Movie Report" program had already set up their equipment in the studio and were waiting for his arrival.

"Teacher Yu, this way please."

Du Yue, the program host dressed in a beige business suit, stepped forward and shook hands with him with a smile.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two sat down on a sofa set up as a comfortable conversation area, and then the red light on the camera in front of them lit up.

Yu Wei had done a lot of research before coming, hoping that the Sixth Princess's questions wouldn't be too tricky...

"Hello everyone, welcome to 'Movie Report'. Today we are very honored to have invited Yu Wei, who will be making her big screen debut. Welcome, Ms. Yu."

Yu Wei smiled and greeted the camera, her mind already replaying the film's core message and philosophical implications...

“We know that the director of this film, Director Qi, has always been a highly regarded director in the industry, but his works in recent years have been controversial. What made you choose to work with him?”

Yu Wei couldn't hold back on the first question. No, she started making fun of Lao Qi right away. "Well-known"? That's called being bad and everyone knows it; "controversial" is called being thoroughly vilified.

This really stumped Yu Wei. Why cooperate with Qi Yunming? First, because they were familiar with each other, and second, because Old Qi delegated authority to them.

Directors in Beijing's film circle have a very high opinion of themselves. Where can you find someone as easy to talk to as Lao Qi?
However, he certainly couldn't say that in an interview; he'd have to come up with a plausible reason.

Fawning over one's father-in-law... is reasonable, but it's too obsequious.

Collaborating with the king of bad movies and succeeding makes him seem even more awesome... The logic makes sense, but isn't saying it a bit too hurtful to him?

"I'm a fan of his, and I want to help him reclaim his former glory." Old Qi was once very successful, so there shouldn't be any problem with using that as a point of reference.

Upon hearing this, the host nodded but did not press the matter further. Whether it was true or false was not important; what mattered was that everyone was indeed very interested in this question.

In your article "Why Do Celebrities Care So Much About Ratings?", you wrote that this movie was a dark horse, but now it has become a highly anticipated work. Do you think it can live up to these increased expectations?

This was actually a very insightful question, but Yu Wei still couldn't quite contain himself when he heard his somewhat flamboyant novel title being spoken in such a serious tone.

When "Goodbye Mr. Loser" was released, it didn't attract much attention. It only turned the tide thanks to its quality. But with this film, everyone's expectations have already been raised, so it's really impossible to make a direct comparison.

"If you expect it to be a masterpiece, it may indeed disappoint some people, but if you treat it as a work for fun, I believe everyone can have a happy day."

Yu Wei's answer was sincere, and he did not boast or try to trick people into buying his products. Instead, he expressed his thoughts concisely and clearly.

Perhaps acknowledging this answer, the host went so far as to mention Yu Wei's sketches and affirm his comedic talent.

This supportive exchange also reflects the attitude of CCTV-6; they are quite supportive of Yu Wei's film.

In a sense, Yu Wei and the Sixth Princess were quite compatible... They shared the same goals and, although they occasionally caused trouble, they never neglected any serious matters.

"Finally, we noticed that Mr. Yu has put a lot of effort into promoting the film, releasing three new songs in three promotional videos. Were these songs specially composed for the promotion, or...?"

"Actually, they are all songs from the movie and they play a part in the plot."

Upon hearing this, the host's expression underwent a subtle change for the first time. It seemed the rumors were true; Yu Wei wasn't promoting the film for the sake of promotion, as these songs were actually part of the movie.

"Then everyone can look forward to how these three songs will be performed in the movie."

"Actually, it's not just three songs..."

With the movie's release imminent, Yu Wei had nothing to hide. The movie features a total of twenty-one songs, which is Yu Wei's biggest asset.

Those with overly high expectations and strict requirements should feel relieved after seeing this music library.

"You mean there are still a few songs from the movie that haven't been released yet?"

Yu Wei nodded, but didn't reveal everything, only saying that there were six or seven more poems.

He spoke very conservatively, but this still exceeded the expectations of the movie channel. There was more undisclosed information than publicly available information. How outrageous!

These days, movies are afraid people won't know what's so interesting about them, but Yu Wei is different; he hides a whole bunch of highlights and only reveals three.

All these songs combined are enough to fill an entire album. Even if you don't watch the plot, just going to listen to the songs alone is worth the ticket price...

It seems they need to reassess the film's impact.

"Understood, Teacher Yu. Finally, we have one more request."

The host waved, and the cameraman immediately turned off the equipment. Clearly, this part would not be included in the main program.

"Our channel would like to broadcast your novel on the day 'Goodbye Mr. Loser' is released, to ride the wave of its popularity. What do you think?"

The sixth princess's broadcast is definitely not following the program schedule; even his self-made Spring Festival Gala is included.

You know what, the novel about the Spring Festival Gala is actually quite long enough to be read like a movie. But only Lao Liu could make riding the wave of popularity sound so blatant.

This wouldn't cost him anything, and it would even be a way to promote the movie, so Yu Wei readily agreed.

However, his novel was submitted to the Spring Festival Gala by stepping on CCTV, and although it wasn't investigated afterwards, it was still not a pleasant experience.

Now that CCTV-6 has specifically requested to broadcast this, it's somewhat disrespectful to the "Emperor" (the CCTV's official media outlet)...

Is this the Sixth Princess's domineering nature? (End of Chapter)
