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

Yu Wei holds a pessimistic view on the overseas release of "Goodbye Mr. Loser".

Comedy is a genre that relies heavily on cultural context. If there's a thick barrier between people, foreigners might have a hard time understanding it, not to mention the numerous puns in the film.

However, unlike him, the rest of the creative team were extremely excited when they heard the news, especially Qi Yuan, as it meant that he was one step closer to his dream of becoming an international superstar.

"With the cherry blossoms released simultaneously, the next step is to achieve box office success both domestically and internationally, win international awards, and be nominated for an Oscar..."

Qi Yuan has almost finished thinking about his Best Supporting Actor acceptance speech. He must thank all his family members except for his little sister for their support!

"You really dare to dream big. With only subtitles and no dubbing, you'd consider it a success if it grossed 100,000."

This box office of 100,000 was only because Yu Wei considered the situation of international students. What local Japanese people would have nothing better to do than go see this?

This isn't pessimism, but rather a matter of fact: very few Chinese-language films have succeeded overseas, and there really aren't any comedies among them.

"You still have to have dreams."

Qi Yuan's words expressed everyone's feelings. Of course, they knew the current situation, but since they rarely had the opportunity to go out, they couldn't help but have some unrealistic fantasies.

This is not only his dream, but everyone's dream. Even Qi Yunming, who has always been a lazy bum, couldn't sit still when he heard the news.

After so many years, is he finally able to step onto the international stage again?

Seeing that everyone was having a great time, Yu Wei didn't want to discourage them. After all, one should always have dreams; what if they come true?

Even if this film doesn't come to fruition, he's confident he can break into the international market with other films!
"Don't think about so many things, just focus on preparing for the competition."

In the third week of the quarterfinals of "Top Idol", Qi Yuan was in charge of the competition. Yu Wei had high hopes for his brother-in-law and specially arranged for him to compete during the movie's release period.

As the lead actor in the film, Yuan Hua has a significant role and a likable character. At this time, Qi Yuan's participation in the competition and the release of a song will definitely maximize the film's popularity.

His brother-in-law treated him with utmost sincerity, and Yu Wei couldn't let him down. He should lend a hand when necessary, but whether he could seize the opportunity depended on himself.

"understood."

Qi Yuan nodded calmly. The song for this competition had been prepared when he changed the song, and the rules for victory had already been determined.

This will be the second time he sings his grandfather's song. Compared to the last time, Qi Yuan has made considerable progress, so there is no possibility of him messing up.

Regardless of whether they're colleagues or laymen, Chinese or foreigners, once "Night Flight" is released, they'll all be utterly defeated...

However, with the arrival of the summer season, the attention on Yu Wei's fake match has obviously decreased a lot, and there are not many people discussing the third chaotic battle.

Unfortunately, netizens have limited energy. Although his matches are full of fancy tricks, everyone is already used to them.

Movies are a different story. This is Yu Wei's first work that brings "novels to life." It's not only fresh but also a testament to history, making it impossible not to want to see it.

Amid such calls, a new round of competition unfolded quietly, attracting little attention from netizens, and even the Sakura singers didn't join in the fun this time.

Nonsense. We were completely outmaneuvered by Yu Wei's tactical base raid and song synthesis, and our morale was completely shattered. Would we be stupid to come here and deliver ourselves under these circumstances?

Anyway, the Sakura singers have learned their lesson this time. Even if they want to try, they have to play it safe. Playing it safe would just make them targets for Yu Wei.

They'll wait until Yu Weina releases his song in the competition, then decide whether to follow suit. If he's another tough opponent like the one from the last round, they'll avoid him.

If we happen to encounter someone weak, that's perfect. We can all swarm in and attack them, and get our revenge first.

Three days after the competition began, Qi Yuan's "Night Flight" was officially released, but because everyone was focused on the movie, the song did not cause much of a stir.

Meanwhile, Cherry Blossom, far across the ocean, was paying close attention to this song, because they planned to respond to each move as it came... "Qi Yuan, where did this newcomer come from?"

For them, this was another unknown opponent, but because of their previous defeat, they dared not underestimate these young people again.

If another soldier brought by Yu Wei were to appear, that would be a huge problem.

As it turned out, the thing they feared most still happened. This Qi Yuan was indeed Yu Wei's accomplice, and not only an accomplice, but also a confidant.

It is said that the two have collaborated several times. Upon hearing this news, the group was devastated. Fortunately, they had taken precautions, otherwise they would have been caught in the crossfire.

Just as they were about to leave in an orderly fashion, a colleague suddenly pointed out, "This song doesn't seem to be Yu Wei's work."

It's not Yu Wei's song, why didn't you say so earlier?

What's there to hesitate about? Just go for it! Apart from Yu Wei, they really don't take any other Chinese singers seriously.

They thought this way until they saw the name etched into their DNA...

"Chen Ping?"

Younger singers with less experience may not know what this name means, but those who lived through that era generally have a deep impression of it.

In the later stages of his career, Chen Ping was a prominent figure throughout Asia, holding a place in both the music and film industries.

Mr. Chen's name is well-known in Sakura. At his peak, he was a golden brand in the Chinese entertainment industry.

After Chen Ping's death, the Chinese music scene was no longer what it used to be, but his name still left an indelible mark on the history of Sakura Entertainment.

Upon seeing this name, the Sakura singers, who had just been planning to launch an attack, hesitated once again.

They've almost forgotten about Yu Wei because they're constantly being tormented by him. But Chen Ping doesn't seem to be an easy person to deal with either.

It's strange, really. This person has been gone for so long, yet a new song is still being released.
They didn't dare to delay and immediately clicked on the song "Night Flight." Although they couldn't understand the lyrics, they could still comment on the melody.

The melody of "Night Flight" is very simple, which is exactly Chen Ping's style—skillful yet unpretentious.

What surprised them even more was Qi Yuan's singing. His voice was very distinctive; it wasn't purely technical, but it was certainly skillful.

This singing style perfectly matched the overall style of the song; if it weren't for the different timbre, they would have almost suspected that it was Chen Ping reborn.

They weren't mistaken; Qi Yuan's singing style was actually imitating his grandfather, after all, he was his idol.

His singing skills mainly came from his grandmother's teaching, and Ye Ranzhi was most familiar with Chen Ping's singing style, so she would naturally lean towards that style when giving guidance.

Under the subtle influence of these two factors, Qi Yuan's singing style sounded unmistakably like Chen Ping's to this group of people.

When the song entered its signature chorus, the melody of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" startled them. The two notes fell back slightly, like a spark leaping and then settling down steadily.

Qi Yuan handled this line so well that they could hardly believe it: Who was on the competition stage?
When the song ends, only the lingering, starlight-like resonance created by the synthesizer remains.

Just as they were marveling at the abundance of talent in the Chinese music scene and the striking resemblance to an old friend, the latest news arrived: this young man was actually Chen Ping's grandson.

The news spread quickly, and netizens who heard about it were amazed. Is this the meaning of inheritance?

I thought it was the appearance of an old friend, but it turns out to be the son of an old friend. (End of Chapter)
