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

Chapter 113 The production team is still doing their best

The third episode of the show wasn't anything new, except that Yu Wei finally saw Tong Yulu's gymnastics team uniform, which she was trying to hide.

The rhythmic gymnastics outfit is all about the art, but her figure is undeniably stunning; the Lycra fabric clings tightly to her curvaceous figure, and her long, beautiful legs are a fact acknowledged by readers in the chapter reviews…

Even though the program's camera work was very polite, the audience was like a magnifying glass, finding every few shots to be a highlight.

"Does Sister Lu have a good figure?"

Seeing that Yu Wei hadn't spoken, Qi Luoan took the initiative to break the ice, his voice as sweet as a hook coated in honey.

In front of the screen, a sly smile curved her lips. "So what if I watch? It's only natural. Pretty women like watching too."

"I am a gentleman."

"Really?" Qi Luoan slowly sipped his juice, the straw crunching loudly as he bit it. "It's so big, how can you resist looking at it..."

"What do you mean by 'big'? You're objectifying women, aren't you? You're so vulgar. I'm going to post you on Little Pink Book."

"?"

Yu Wei's sudden label caught Qi Luo'an off guard, and she was both amused and annoyed. How could she be objectifying women? Was she trying to turn against the Heavenly Gang?

"Okay, okay, I'll remember your words."

She blinked, her smile revealing a sense of relief; she was in an unexpectedly good mood.

In the show, the four guests were divided into groups. Although Yu Wei and Meng Han trained very hard, the audience still preferred to watch Tong Yulu and Su Xinnan.

What's so interesting about grown men sweating?

Leaving aside Tong Yulu's youthful beauty, Su Xinnan's swimming class truly attracted a lot of attention. The athletes' swimsuits are very conservative, but on her, they were anything but understated.

The swimsuit clung to her body like a second skin, revealing her curves sculpted by the water, especially her slender waist, as delicate as a willow branch...

Sometimes you can't help but admire the older generation's taste; Sister Nan can still be a force to be reckoned with in Chinese entertainment novels for another ten years.

Although this is nothing to be proud of.

"It's almost time for you to write the script."

As one of the accomplices in the incident, Qi Luoan naturally knew the exact time, and she also wanted to see Yu Wei's perspective.

Originally, Yu Wei was exhausted from running 10 kilometers of aerobic exercise, and only when he was out of breath and taking a walk did he receive a phone call to write a script.

However, in the editing of the program, Yu Wei walked with a calm and composed demeanor, as if he had everything under control, and when he finally made a phone call to retell the script, he did so in one go.

It was as if he had suddenly had an inspiration and decided to write it down immediately.

"So carefree, how come I didn't know?"

It must be said that the editing by the production team was actually more logical; it's perfectly reasonable for a creator to suddenly want to write down an inspiration.

If they cut it exactly as it was, Yu Wei would start reciting the script at the drop of a hat, which sounds like something out of a charlatan...

"I glanced at Weibo and it seems quite a few people are looking forward to your script."

Qi Luoan was about to say a few words of encouragement, but then she suddenly remembered that the script was directed by her unreliable father, and her anger instantly dissipated.

A score of 5 or higher is considered a success!

"It's a good thing that people have expectations."

Although Yu Wei's performance on the show was exaggerated, it did generate a lot of buzz for the film, and many viewers who hadn't read the novel heard about the script written by Yu Wei.

Viewers who know about the film and have a good impression of it are likely to become enthusiastic advocates and spontaneously support the film, which is a good thing.

"I was about to ask you the same thing, who plays Qiuya and Ma Dongmei?"

The script was written by Qi Luoan, and she remembered it quite clearly. The male lead had kissing scenes with both of them. One was just a light kiss, while the other was a real kiss.

Even though it's necessary for the plot, it just feels so awkward when I think about it...

"It's not decided yet, we don't know."

Yu Wei hadn't really thought about it that way yet. It was just a work requirement, so there was no need to take it too seriously.

After glancing at the comments from netizens expressing their anticipation for the movie, the two patiently continued watching. All four guests had suffered quite a bit on the show, but Yu Wei had suffered the most.

While others might pretend to rest, Yu Wei truly persists. Even when he's exhausted, he'll take a walk and simply can't stop.

Rather than talking about his moral character, it's more accurate to say he's genuinely honest. He lets Yu Wei earn money from variety shows, and no one is envious.

Once the show officially entered the singing practice segment, the production team started playing tricks again. The editing for the other groups showed them working together smoothly and steadily, but when it came to Yu Wei and her group, they were shown making one mistake after another...

The song "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" is not easy to sing, and Xing Chao made a lot of mistakes during practice. Now the program team has found a way to get him to sing.

The show started with a clip of a singing mistake, and the low-key atmosphere of various practice difficulties in the middle of the show made even mature viewers, who knew the show was intentional, inevitably worried.

The technique of building anticipation through humiliation applies to all fields. It's a common trope in novels where characters retaliate after being insulted, and it's also used in variety shows to generate excitement.

Often, those situations where mistakes are made frequently on the show end up being completely harmless, and the real mistakes are never edited into the final cut.

"This song is difficult to listen to; you know how difficult it is for the fans."

As someone who had been wronged in the past, Qi Luoan deeply understands that Yu Weige's pressure is immense.

When others choose to cover a song, they already know the song, so there's not much learning cost; they just need to practice the coordination.

But Yu Wei's songs are all new, and he not only has to learn them from scratch in just a few days, but they are also quite difficult. It's no wonder he's under a lot of pressure.

When it comes to covering old songs, it's fine to sing them casually when there's a great original singer to sing. But when it comes to original songs premiering on stage, who would dare to slack off?
Yu Wei's move was ruthless; he taught the fans who formed the team a lesson...

"There's nothing I can do, I don't know anything else."

This phrase has almost become Yu Wei's catchphrase. He can only write original songs but can't sing other people's songs. He's not just pretending.

Qi Luoan clicked his tongue twice without saying much, and the show finally entered the final performance segment.

Under the show's deliberate guidance, viewers only saw the radiant other three groups and a perpetually anxious Xing Chao. Will this episode work?
Especially after watching the first two wonderful performances, Su Xinnan performed as expected, but even Tong Yulu had such a strong stage presence.

By this time, Tong Yulu had already shone brightly in Yu Wei's book, completely rising from the edge of the third tier to the second tier. With the help of capital, her team had also become much more professional.

In fact, her actual abilities haven't improved much, but once her professionalism, business skills, and career planning are all done well, her image instantly rises to a higher level.

"Is this the power of the first Wei Girl?"

Qi Luoan's statement was purely a joke. If there were such a claim, wouldn't Zhou Mumu, who just advanced in the competition and caused a stir, be the second one?

"Stop being so sour. The characters in the book are nowhere near as important as my operations manager..."

"Good good."

Knowing full well that this was Yu Wei's teasing, Qi Luoan was indeed taken in by it, and his tone unconsciously became a bit more cheerful after hearing it.

I thought the performances of the first two groups of guests were already amazing enough, but I didn't expect Meng Han to bring an original song in the third round.

The moment "Hou Yi" was performed, the stage was instantly ignited. His song was excellent, and his performance was also superb. The archer's bass playing was also a highlight.

The arrow was supposed to be on the string, but it's the bass string instead.
The song was incredibly powerful; even through a screen, the audience could feel the energy of the live performance – that's the magic of rock music.

Can Yu Wei, who appears last, still hold his own as the final performer?

In particular, the production team gave Meng Han a close-up of the way he looked at Yu Wei, which, combined with the plot points from the novel, created a tense atmosphere.

I knew Teacher Meng Han wouldn't be convinced that her masterpiece lost; Yu Wei is really in trouble this time...

"This song is indeed very good, and it's very well-made. Teacher Meng is still as sharp as ever."

After watching the show, Qi Luoan praised the song, saying that it was a leader in its genre in terms of quality, theme, and core message.

If I had to point out a flaw, it would be that the song lacks emotion, making it difficult for the audience to connect with it.

If Yu Wei wants to win, he can only start by appealing to emotional resonance.

Just as she guessed, Yu Wei's song, themed around dreams, hit the mark with the audience.

On screen, Yu Wei and Xing Chao didn't seem to have much interaction, even their positions were casual, but as the song began, the melody suddenly pierced the eardrums like a hook.

The sound of guitar strings pierced the air, the drumbeats struck the chest, and Xing Chao's raspy voice tore through the silence: "Where exactly is the world full of flowers?"

The lyrics hit them like a hot iron, and everyone's throats tightened suddenly, seemingly overlapping with the phrase "covered in dust" in the lyrics.

On the sofa, on the bed, even while working overtime, the body unconsciously tenses up...

From a professional perspective, Xing Chao made quite a few mistakes, but once you get into a song, it's hard to analyze it using technical skills.

The melody continued to rise, and the drumbeats became denser, as if countless hands were pushing against their spines. Xing Chao's voice began to tremble, and even broke into a rough, cracking tone at the high notes.

Yu Wei's assist was timely, but because of his intervention, the stage rhythm was also noticeably disrupted.

“Maybe I don’t have talent, but I have the innocence of dreams.” Xing Chao clenched his fist tightly, his nails digging into his palm.

This is the scene from the very beginning of the show, where there was a clear mistake in the performance. Seeing it again now, everyone felt their breath catch in their throat.

They still really wanted to listen to the whole song.

Listening to this song, they felt a weight pressing on their hearts, a sense of self-doubt, a feeling of utter dejection, or perhaps a painful memory of the past...

Suddenly, all the instruments stopped for half a beat.

Under Yu Wei's control, all the low pressure from the mistakes converged at this moment, the screen went dark, leaving only a spotlight shining on their upturned faces.

The moment the sweat rolled down his face, Xing Chao tore out all the strength in his life and hurled that line of lyrics into the night sky:
"Run forward—"

A thunderclap, seemingly exploding from the soles of their feet, shot up their spines and straight to the top of their heads! This piercing voice shattered their numbness like a blunt axe.

The lyrics "facing cold stares and ridicule" have become a tangible hurricane, which is now being stirred up by this roar and rampaging through my veins.

The editing by the production team was a stroke of genius. After the initial tension, the focus shifted away from the two contestants on stage and instead cut directly to many actual scenes from the competition.

The slow-motion replay focuses on the champion's podium, where the gold medalist, draped in the national flag, is full of pride, and the audience erupts in a sea of ​​red cheers.

The eliminated contestant walked alone towards the rest area. The shadows engulfed half of her body, and the mirror reflected his quick wiping away of tears, his knuckles turning blue from the force he exerted.

Long-distance runners limped across the finish line despite injuries, while swimmers, their eyes red with effort, embraced their teammates…

"Keep running with the pride of a child."

How can you see the sparkle of life if you don’t persist to the end?
It's better to burn than to linger

For the good in my heart

Never compromise until you grow old.

The scene didn't stop there; instead, it gradually shifted to the everyday lives of ordinary people like you and me...

Everyone has their own arena.

If someone were to interview viewers of the show now, asking them whether Meng Han's or Yu Wei's songs were better, they probably wouldn't be able to answer.

But if you ask them which song they prefer, they will definitely answer without hesitation.

This scream, breaking through the mundane cocoon, finally pierced through their hearts and stirred up waves within them.

A song can't change anything, but at least when they hear it, they'll remember the innocent heart that crashes against the iron wall of fate.

Just as they were marveling at the deep impression the song had left on them, the production team unexpectedly arranged for Yu Wei to say two words before her performance at the end.

The production team is still doing their best!
"I can't let you sing alone. There's no time to explain. Come on, all of you!"

What, there are still experts?

You're telling me the duet was a spur-of-the-moment thing after the song was already finished?
