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

Chapter 222 It's all bubbles

"I understand the logic, but your movie is about to start filming?"

As Yu Wei expected, Qi Yuan knew nothing about this matter. He didn't even know that his own father was preparing a play. How out of touch must he be?
Don't these people usually chat?

Qi Yunming naturally didn't deliberately hide it, but given his personality, he certainly wouldn't take the initiative to tell others or what he would say about work to his child.

Qi Yuan, on the other hand, was the kind of person who was oblivious to everything around him. He was so immersed in his art that he couldn't extricate himself, and it was common for him to forget himself and his surroundings.

The father and son rarely communicate effectively; they probably don't even banter as much as Qi Yuan and Qi Luo'an, the siblings.

Yu Wei could understand. That's how it is with introverted fathers and sons. They don't express their care and encouragement verbally, but their affection for each other is genuine.

He didn't mind being the information provider and briefly introduced the collaboration on "Goodbye Mr. Loser" to Qi Yuan.

Upon hearing that Lao Qi was in charge of the movie, Qi Yuan's expression changed instantly. His gaze towards Yu Wei held a mixture of surprise, regret, and hesitation.

To Yu Wei, his expression conveyed only one message: "Dude, did my dad trick you?"

Generally speaking, if a director's son wants to get into the entertainment industry, he will be put into a film crew to "gild" his resume. If he's lucky, he'll be given a small role to hone his skills; if he's not lucky, he'll be given extra roles and commissioned scenes.

But Qi Yuan has never acted in Lao Qi's scripts, not because he didn't want to use connections, but because he was afraid of making bad movies...

Qi Yunming's persona as the king of bad movies is too solid. Ever since Qi Yuan can remember, every movie he makes is a disaster. His father's repeated failures have left a deep impression on the young boy.

He would have offered some words of comfort, but as the number of bad movies increased, Qi Yuan had a rebellious idea.

Could it be a problem with his father?
After accepting his father's attributes, he felt that everything became clear, and this idea remains deeply rooted in his mind to this day.

Later, he entered the entertainment industry and preferred to act in period dramas rather than film his father's movies, which shows how powerful bad movies can be.

Making period dramas isn't shameful; there will always be people who enjoy watching them. Making bad movies, on the other hand, is something to be shamed. If someone with connections makes bad movies, they'll become a laughingstock.

So when Qi Yuan heard that Yu Wei was going to cooperate with his father, he was desperate. Why would someone deliberately jump into a fire pit?
Although he hadn't read the script for "Goodbye Mr. Loser," he believed that anything produced by Yu Wei was bound to be of high quality, so it shouldn't be bad.

It's a bit of a waste for such a good script to end up in Lao Qi's hands.

"Brother, I believe you, but..."

However, he didn't trust his own father. Having watched him grow up, Qi Yuan knew exactly what kind of person Old Qi was. Once he arrived at the film set, he would lie down on a chair, cross his legs, and another day would pass.

He certainly wouldn't dare say this to Qi Yunming's face, but the meaning was still conveyed. Yu Wei paused for a moment and then began to persuade him to surrender.

Yuan Hua is the perfect fit for the role. His inability to accept Xia Luo's flight and his heart-wrenching frustration are exactly the same as Qi Yuan's.

It would be a loss for the film not to cast him as the Tidal Sea Spirit...

"You're just missing a good opportunity. Why don't you give it a try?"

They've all unfollowed me and become nobody in the entertainment industry, and you're still picking on me?

Yu Wei's words struck a chord with Qi Yuan. He desperately needed an opportunity to return to the public eye. The entertainment industry changes too quickly, and if things continue like this, netizens will soon forget about him.

To be able to make a name for himself in a movie is an unprecedented opportunity. If it were someone else's movie, he would definitely not hesitate, but Lao Qi, sigh.

Qi Yuan may lack opportunities, but he won't take everything...

His position was already awkward after he lost fans, and if he acted in another bad movie, wouldn't that be ruining his career? His acting career was completely blocked.

He still needs to consider this matter carefully.

Qi Yunming understood his thoughts. This brat, others are wary of outsiders, but he's wary of his own father, right?

But thinking about it carefully, it's actually a good thing that my son can keep his composure. Choosing a film is something that can't be rushed, even if you're the one in charge.

"Let me take a look at the script first."

Although I have no faith in Lao Qi's skill level, Yu Wei is his most trusted friend, so I should still give his work the respect it deserves.

Moreover, he really lacks opportunities. Let's see how things go. If there's a role that's particularly suitable for him, it wouldn't hurt to take it.

This request was perfectly reasonable, and Yu Wei naturally agreed, as he had some confidence in the script for "Goodbye Mr. Loser".

Qi Yunming already had the script on hand, but he could look at it later, as Yu Wei's show was about to begin.

"You guys keep an eye on things first, I'll go wash the dishes."

Watching his own show with a huge group of people was just too much. Yu Wei decided to wash the dishes and then make an excuse to slip away.

Although there were some mishaps, the meal was generally quite enjoyable. He hadn't experienced this kind of harmonious family dinner in a long time.

There's no reason to make guests wash dishes, but Yu Wei's excuse was quite good. He was extremely familiar with the program's format, which was boring to watch.

"Then let me help too."

Qi Luoan volunteered to help out; she couldn't let the guest do all the work alone. Since she brought the guest, it was reasonable for her to help out.

Qi Yunming and Chen Jinyi exchanged a glance, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Qi Yuan had something to say, but he held back. He was too tired to wash today, otherwise he would have insisted on washing together with his wife.

"Ugh, this person is so annoying."

Standing by the kitchen, Qi Luo'an rarely showed a hint of frustration. Her long-awaited invitation to Yu Wei to visit had ultimately been ruined by Qi Yuan.

The atmosphere had been building up to the point of entrusting their lives to each other, but then Qi Yuan suddenly appeared, completely changing the subject and making it impossible to get back on track.

It wasn't that she felt her brother shouldn't have come, but from her perspective, Qi Yuan was clearly a troublemaker.

"Don't worry, worrying will give you wrinkles." Yu Wei turned on the tap and moved half a body to the left to make room for her to wash the dishes.

It seems that people's common topic of conversation is complaining about each other...

Qi Luoan skillfully squeezed out the dish soap, only to find that her sleeves were not rolled up yet. However, her hands were already wet, so she could only tentatively stretch out her arms.

"Good good."

Yu Wei immediately understood, simply pushing her sleeve up to her forearm and folding it around to prevent it from falling down and getting wet later.

Chen Jinyi had actually been paying attention to what was happening here. Watching the two people's interactions, which were full of everyday life, she only had one thought in her mind.

Isn't that great?

The ninth episode of "Music Blind Box" has already started airing on TV. The beginning was unremarkable and there was nothing interesting to watch, but when Yu Wei drew a foreigner, the others were still a little surprised.

Qi Yuan's surprise was feigned, since he had also attended the show and knew about Yu Wei's cherry blossom partner.

"This little girl is quite cute."

Chen Jinyi casually made a compliment, which gave Qi Yuan something to talk about: "Yeah, she's much cuter than our An'an."

If Qi Luo'an had such a gentle and kind personality, he would definitely be a model older brother, but since she is so wicked, he can't be blamed for turning against his own family for the greater good.

"My daughter is cuter."

Chen Jinyi did not listen to the slander at all. She could tell who was good and who was bad. How could her good daughter be outdone by outsiders?

Qi Luoan, who was washing dishes, was completely unaware that she was being tickled by crickets and was actually enjoying the heartwarming process.

"Here, take a rinse."

She handed over the plate covered in foam, and Yu Wei took the plate while turning down the water flow on her side to make sure she could wash herself thoroughly.

Perhaps because they were wet, Yu Wei's hands were very cold, but they felt quite comfortable to touch, even though the contact was brief.

"look here."

Yu Wei had just turned to the side when he heard this, but a few drops of water were splashed on his face. Qi Luoan shook his wet hands and revealed a triumphant smile.

"I have been infected with the hydrological virus, and you are the only one to blame."

Yu Wei didn't take the little joke to heart and just continued to wash the chopsticks in his hands.

The most boring kind of teasing is one that goes unanswered. Qi Luoan helplessly lowered her head and continued washing. But as soon as she relaxed, a chopstick suddenly appeared in front of her and struck the tip of her nose with lightning speed.

The chopsticks, still covered in a few drops of foam, landed squarely on her face while she was rinsing them.

"A sneak attack, right?"

Qi Luoan rubbed his nose and squeezed a dollop of dish soap into his hand, not to be outdone. "I think you want to hear about bubbles."

"No, no, no."

Using so much dish soap to make bubbles would probably require an anime-sized amount; that's not advisable.

If that unlucky older brother hadn't come, Qi Luoan would have easily gotten away with this, directly soiling Yu Wei's clothes so he couldn't go out and was forced to stay overnight, sleeping in Qi Yuan's room—perfect.

But now that his older brother is back, Yu Wei has nowhere to rest, so he has no choice but to give up.

It's all Qi Yuan's fault, the whole plan is ruined...

"Perfect, let's not waste it."

Yu Wei casually rubbed some of the mixture from her hand onto the chopsticks and continued washing. However, Qi Luoan refused the second time and grabbed the chopsticks, refining them instantly.

Getting excited, huh? What do you take her hand for?

What was originally just a show of force resulted in the dish soap in their hands dissolving upon contact with water, leaving their hands feeling slippery and sticky, which they found quite amusing.

Because of the slippery medium, every tiny movement of the hand carries an irresistible temptation—a feeling that is both elusive and irresistibly tempting to hold on tightly. This feeling is very subtle.

Qi Luoan tentatively rubbed against Yu Wei, and finding that Yu Wei had no intention of pulling back, he became even bolder and soon rubbed his hands full of foam.

Her fingers playfully rubbed Yu Wei's hand, the foam becoming even more slippery in the warm water, as if with the slightest pressure, his hand would slip away like a fish.

Yu Wei's heart beat a little faster. He grabbed the mischievous hand with his own, and beneath the layers of white foam, their hands were tightly clasped together.

"It's a Japanese song."

Upon hearing Chen Jinyi's exclamation, the two let go as if electrocuted, but looking back, all three of them were focused on the program.

When Yu Wei quietly pulled out a Japanese song, Chen Jinyi and Qi Yunming were a little taken aback.

This kid actually had something up his sleeve?
Qi Yuan, standing next to him, sighed softly. The program only showed a clip of Yu Wei practicing Japanese songs, but not a single line of "Later," clearly indicating that they planned to give the audience a surprise later.

He didn't want to spoil the surprise for his parents, so he could only say that the most shocking part was yet to come...

Seeing that they hadn't noticed anything amiss, Yu Wei and Qi Luoan breathed a sigh of relief. When they looked at each other again, they were both clearly a little embarrassed.

Yu Wei was alright, but Qi Luo'an was clearly blushing, her heart pounding so hard it almost drowned out the sound of running water in the kitchen.

The thought of doing this right under her parents' noses made her cheeks burn; she felt nervous but also strangely excited.
