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

Chapter 224 This is a good thing!

Depressed Mushroom, you're not on Firefly Chinese at all, where are you hiding?
Taking advantage of her free time, Danxue Caiyu made a special trip to China, hoping to talk to Yu Wei about his suspense works, but she couldn't find him at all.

The company only said he was busy with something and did not reveal the artist's exact schedule. In the end, it was Sakura Rio who told her that Yu Wei had gone to the capital.

This is what happens when you don't schedule a time to discuss serious matters...

"If he's not back by the day after tomorrow, then we'll just have to wait until next time."

Danxue Caiyu didn't plan to go to the capital to find someone. Cooperation is all about mutual consent, and being too proactive can easily lead to being rejected.

"How about we wait a couple more days? I heard he has a lot on his plate."

During the holiday, Rio Sakuraya stayed with her cousin for two days. She didn't know Yu Wei's specific schedule, but he probably wouldn't be back the day after tomorrow.

"Then we'll have to do it next time."

Danxue Caiyu has a tight schedule, and it's not worth staying here for more than ten days to wait for someone. It would be even more worthless if they couldn't reach an agreement.

She sighed helplessly, then turned around and saw her cousin staring intently at her phone in landscape mode. When she leaned closer, she discovered that her cousin was watching a variety show.

I don't remember Rio having this hobby...

But to Aya Ayaka's surprise, Sakuratani Rio appeared on the show soon after, and the legendary Yu Wei was sitting right next to her.

"what is this?"

Rio Sakuratani seemed a little embarrassed, but she still gave a brief introduction to the program's flow. When she heard that there would be a singing segment later in the program, Aya Ayumi became quite interested.

Her impression of Yu Wei was that he was a celebrity who was good at writing books; she really didn't know anything about his main profession.

"Rio must have had a hard time singing Chinese songs. I hope she has a good job."

"No, I sang a Japanese song."

It wasn't until Rio Sakuragaya went on stage and sang the first line of "To the Future" that Aya Ayumi realized the seriousness of the problem.

This kid actually managed to write a Japanese song. Listening to foreign songs and reading translations actually diminishes the effect significantly. Only she realized how terrifying this song was.

Not only is the melody beautiful, but the lyrics are also excellent. At the very least, it is definitely not a product of outsiders' assumptions, but something real.

She would have believed it even if it was created by a famous singer from Sakura, but she never expected it to be the work of a Chinese singer.

Danxue Caiyu shook her head for a moment but accepted it calmly. Yu Wei's two suspense novels were both set against the backdrop of cherry blossoms, which obviously showed that she had some research on cherry blossom culture.

"It seems his musical talent shouldn't be overlooked either..."

Seeing that her cousin seemed very interested in this, Sakuragani Rio decided to find some of Yu Wei's piano music for her to listen to.

As a result, Aya Yuki fell silent more and more as she listened, and had no choice but to make a bold decision.

"Then let's wait a few more days."

……

"The arrangement is completely different."

The melody is still the same melody, but the style of "Later" is clearly completely different from the Japanese song just now. The addition of strings creates a sense of gradual progression.

They didn't really resonate with this song, so they could only analyze it from a purely musical perspective.

Among them, Qi Yunming is the most suitable to reminisce about the past, but given his personality, he has probably forgotten most of what happened back then.

Yu Wei's vocal control and emotional delivery in this song were just right. He did not overemphasize the sadness, but instead used a restrained approach to enhance the song's emotional impact.

"This song is going to be a hit."

The "fire" Chen Jinyi mentioned is not the kind of heat in the ordinary sense, but a real fire, which ranks among the top in Yu Wei's works.

It's a very simple principle: this song achieves a perfect balance between high quality and popular appeal, making it hard for it not to become a hit.

Just as she predicted, the song generated a lot of discussion after the show aired, and even quick-witted internet celebrities and bloggers started covering it.

However, compared to Yu Wei, their version is at best just barely noticeable.

"Xiao Yu, do you think Auntie can sing?"

Chen Jinyi asked casually, feeling that the atmosphere of the song seemed more suitable for female voices, especially older ones, to express the sadness of looking back on the past.

"Of course, what can't Auntie sing?"

Chen Jinyi is definitely a worthy singer of this song; at her age, many female singers are in their prime.

Besides, at this point, he would definitely say that he can sing, so how could he possibly embarrass his elders? He would simply say that he can sing, even "The Ballad of the Heroes"!
Seeing that his performance was coming to an end, Yu Wei immediately stood up and expressed his intention to leave. It was almost time, and if he stayed any longer, he would have to stay overnight, which was too much of a hassle.

"Be careful on the road."

Qi Yunming didn't bother with pleasantries. Although he should have stayed at the house, there were no spare rooms available, so there was no need to insist.

Saltyfish understands saltyfish best. With so many people in his house, Yu Wei must feel uneasy staying there. He should go back and rest early.

"Goodbye, uncle and aunt."

Before leaving, Yu Wei glanced at Qi Luoan, as if expressing his gratitude with his eyes: I had a very happy day, thank you for the hospitality.

This was exactly the result Qi Luoan wanted. She was afraid that Yu Weidai would be unhappy. As long as he was happy, nothing else mattered.

Seeing Yu Wei get into the car and leave, Qi Yuan's smile gradually disappeared, turning into a mischievous grin. "Mom, I have something to tell you."

Qi Luoan suddenly had a bad feeling; this kid was probably going to tell on them!

Good news, she guessed right. Qi Yuan came back tonight with a grudge, and he showed his little sister what respect for elders meant.

"Yuanyuan, do you want to see the script? I'll go get it for you." Before he could finish speaking, Qi Yunming casually changed the subject, directly diverting Qi Yuan's attention. He could tease his sister anytime, but the script couldn't be delayed.

He's still too short on opportunities. Even if he doesn't want to accept, he should give an answer sooner rather than later, otherwise it might cause problems. Oh well, I'll spare her life for now.

Watching Qi Yuan follow Lao Qi into the room, Qi Luo'an finally breathed a sigh of relief. In crucial moments, Lao Qi was the one who could be relied on.

However, this couldn't go on forever. It was better to tell her yourself than to have someone else tell her. Qi Luoan made up her mind and decided to tell her mother about writing a novel.

I thought Chen Jinyi would be furious, but she just frowned and didn't say anything.

It wasn't that she was dissatisfied, but it felt really absurd; she had ultimately been infected by the Yu Wei virus...

"Will you think I'm neglecting my duties?"

Qi Luoan often heard her mother criticize Yu Wei's novels, but she was surprised that her mother was so tolerant of her own work.

Do you have a regular job?

"..."

Chen Jinyi said that Yu Wei's main job was being a celebrity, and that he was very talented but spent most of his time writing novels.

He's destined to be a superstar, how can he waste his time on these useless things?
Her daughter is different; she's disobedient and unruly. Having something to do actually helps her avoid getting into trouble. Whether it puts food on the table or not doesn't matter; at least it keeps her focused.

This is a good thing!
"What if someone's career as a star suffers a major setback, and they're thinking about writing a novel but can't even get their manuscript approved..."

"Are there really people this clueless in the entertainment industry?"

Qi Luoan smiled knowingly. Now things have changed, the balance of power has shifted.

Qi Yuan, who was flipping through the script, sneezed. Yu Wei's script had a very captivating opening, and he had unconsciously gotten engrossed in reading it.

The jokes were blended in just the right way, without feeling forced or artificial, which suited his taste perfectly.

"A true rebirth?"

Seeing Xia Luo's rebirth after the wedding, Qi Yuan became even more interested in the movie. Although the theme of rebirth is popular, most of them are short dramas or novels, and there don't seem to be many that are used as movie settings.

The scene where he hits the teacher is quite interesting, but so far, Qi Yuan still hasn't found a suitable role for himself.

Yu Wei said there was a role that was perfect for him, so where is it?

As he saw Xia Luo start playing music, the character Yuan Hua began to emerge. Qi Yuan only glanced at him twice before feeling a strange sense of empathy.

An ordinary classmate suddenly took off, not only becoming a celebrity but also stealing the heart of the school beauty. It hurts, it hurts so much...

Although they had different experiences and he wasn't as jealous, he could still sense this emotion.

The more he watched, the more he felt that this movie had the potential to become a huge hit. More than the rise of ordinary people, its strong sense of humanistic nostalgia and the characteristics of the times were also very interesting.

How did such a good film end up in my dad's hands?

Qi Yuan sighed, and finally decided to take the gamble with Yu Wei, to see who was stronger, his skills or those of "King of Bad Movies" Debff.

"Even dogs wouldn't watch Director Qi's movies..."

"Acting! Acting in Lao Qi's film."

Yu Wei was very satisfied with Qi Yuan's message. "Alright, the key role has been finalized. We can have a joint audition in a couple of days and let him give us his advice."

He has mastered the acting skills of all the roles, so he naturally knows how to act each one. It doesn't matter if Lao Qi makes a mistake; he can handle it all by himself.

"By the way, what are you planning to do with those songs from the movie?"

Qi Yuan's question hit the nail on the head. There were quite a few old songs in "Goodbye Mr. Loser," which contributed to the humor and nostalgia.

Yu Wei plans to change some less important songs, such as those that reflect the times and are popular in the streets and alleys, which are more suitable for the audience of Blue Star.

However, he doesn't plan to change a few key pieces, such as "Once Upon a Time" on the campus radio and "A Spray of Plum Blossoms" in the famous scene. These are the soul of the film and cannot be replaced.

"Of course it's free."

There's no need to waste the songs that were replaced; they can be used as Easter eggs in movie soundtracks.

There are too many songs in "Goodbye Mr. Loser". With the release of the movie, these songs will be released separately.

Yu Wei didn't plan to sing all the songs by herself, as that would result in too much repetition and the effect would be mediocre.

Quite a few of the people he got for free can sing; we'll see who has the talent then.

However, Yu Wei will definitely ask Shen Yutong to sing. She is a very pure person and is not interested in anything other than music. She also doesn't make movies.

Based on the principle that a thief never leaves empty-handed, Yu Wei planned to get her to sing for free. Not act? Well, even if you don't act, don't expect to be idle!

This collaboration is outside of the competition, so there are no restrictions. Consider it compensation for Shen Yutong's "loss of her beloved".

A person who truly loves music should not treat music as a so-called prize. From the very beginning, his expectations for Shen Yutong were outside the competition arena.

Do you think I'm good enough?

Judging from Yu Wei's tone, there must be a lot of good songs in this movie. Suddenly, Qi Yuan felt that the game he won wasn't so great anymore.

The good songs in the music library are all suitable for female singers. Even if he wins, there's not much else to choose from. If he had known about this movie earlier, there would have been no need to collaborate with a bad drama.

"Let's talk about it after the audition goes well."

Yu Wei recalled a famous scene from the movie featuring Yuan Hua and suddenly had an interesting idea.

Should we make him sing his own execution song?
