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

Chapter 268 Yu Wei didn't lie.

"Is this still my home?"

Yu Wei pushed open the door and entered the room, then froze on the spot. The bare white wall that had been the first thing that caught his eye was now occupied by a huge, softly colored abstract painting.

Below the painting was a set of cream-colored plush beanbag chairs he had never seen before, which directly took over the niche of the leather sofa in his home.

He almost thought he had gone to the wrong door, so he instinctively took a half step back and checked the door number again.

Yes, this is the place.

Yu Wei moved inside in a daze, noticing the group photo next to the TV, the lemons on the coffee table, and the bunch of unidentified white flowers casually stuck in a glass bottle on the dining table.

He had no leisure to cultivate flowers; this was clearly arranged by Qi Luoan, who turned the house upside down while he was away.

Compared to the empty house before, now every corner of the house bears traces of life. She used to joke that the house lacked a sense of warmth and life, but it turns out she really remembered. I thought she was just joking.

Just then, Qi Luoan peeked out from the bedroom, a mischievous smirk and a shy anticipation of praise on her face, and asked softly, "So, do you like this new home?"

"That's all the surprise you were talking about?"

That's quite disappointing...

"if not?"

Otherwise, why would I actually tie a ribbon around my neck and give it to him as a gift? That would be too formal, and there's no need to go to such lengths.

Yu Wei was quite moved. He looked around his much warmer home, as if it had been cleansed by sunshine and love, with every detail showing care and attention.

"Good boy, I won't hit you today."

Qi Luo'an almost burst out laughing upon hearing this. With his mild-mannered nature, it's hard to say who would hit whom. Don't make your sister An laugh...

She not only helped tidy up the room, but also moved her own luggage over; that beanbag chair was where she usually sat.

We're all family, it's only a matter of time. Paying extra rent is such a waste. When Yu Wei goes out to record a show, I'll continue to look after the house. It won't be so deserted when he comes back.

It feels really good to have someone waiting for you at home. Usually when Yu Wei comes home, he tidies up briefly and then goes back to his room to bury himself in writing. He rarely feels this relaxed.

"You play by yourself, I'm going to lie down for a while."

Qi Luoan leaned over, clearly intending to kiss, hug, and lift him up high, but Yu Wei was really tired. Filming action scenes was exhausting, and after traveling for half a day, he couldn't even type a single word without coughing up blood.

"What did you do to look so tired?"

"You'll know then."

Qi Luoan moved out without telling him, and he didn't tell her when he was filming action scenes either. He'll scare her when she sees the ads on her phone.

What? So mysterious...

Although Qi Luoan is clingy, she knows her limits. Yu Wei does look a bit tired today, so she naturally won't bother her.

Seeing that it was still early, she decided to go out and visit Shen Yutong. Moving here was great, but it wasn't convenient for her best friend to come and stay overnight.

Shen Yutong used to come visit her often, but now that she's living with Yu Wei, it's not convenient for Shen Yutong to come over. She should just go over to her on her own initiative.

Yu Wei's novel is progressing steadily. The movie adaptation of "The Myth" is not yet finished. In the following two days, he began to work on setting up his studio. In the evenings, he wrote with Qi Luoan. His life was quite fulfilling.

For him, establishing his own studio was not only a turning point in his career, but also a transformation from an executor to a decision-maker.

This path involves both risks and rewards, so he prepared exceptionally well, prioritizing stability and avoiding any potential pitfalls for himself.

With the new revenue from the game promotional video, he had plenty of funds to raise, and he felt he could find a couple more promising talents to sign.

Yu Wei convened an informal meeting of the core team. In addition to Liu Ning, the executive agent who had worked with them for many years, and Song Yiwen, the manager, there was a new face: a corporate consultant who had been specially invited.

What he wants is not an empty shell for a hobby, but an entity that aims to deeply cultivate his personal brand, develop diversified businesses, and ultimately achieve asset optimization and independent development.

What is professional? This is called professional.

After a brief discussion, the studio was officially named "Fish Leap Culture Studio," a concise and meaningful name.

The registered address is also a crucial issue; the studio needs to choose a legal commercial office space.

He doesn't need to worry about that; Liu Ning and the company will arrange it. Their site selection is definitely more reliable than Yu Wei's, an outsider.

Looking at the ever-expanding work list, Yu Wei felt overwhelmed. After holding a meeting, there seemed to be even more things to do.

Financial planning needs to be handled, intellectual property rights need to be registered, business licenses need to be obtained, official seals need to be made, tax registration needs to be completed, and a basic bank account needs to be opened...

If opening a studio is this difficult, it just shows that going solo in entertainment novels is too idealistic, and starting a company is even more detached from reality.

Just as Yu Wei was about to sign the "Application for Registration of Establishment of Sole Proprietorship", the staff of the martial arts game informed him that the promotional video would be released at noon.

"receive."

He followed the game's official accounts and other news, and Yu Wei immediately forwarded the promotional video for "Swords and Songs" after it was released.

……

"Grandpa, the game you're following has released a PV."

"Where did Yu Wei come from? What's going on?"

"This game has been in development for several years, they've really been patient."

"It's good to be patient; it's better than rushing to release a product and fleece consumers." A group of netizens clicked on the promotional video. As soon as the video started, a familiar melody began to play: Yu Wei's "Swords Like Dreams."

No wonder he shared it; it turns out it was a shady deal...

They had heard about Yu Wei's collaboration with the manufacturer, but they didn't expect it to take almost half a year before they were willing to release it.

This song is full of martial arts spirit, and the barrage of comments was filled with "See you again in the martial arts world". The more you listen to this song, the more addictive it becomes. They wish they could enter the game and become heroes right now.

As the song continues, the scene suddenly opens up, revealing a bamboo forest. The male protagonist, dressed in white, stands in the bamboo forest, holding a long sword.

When six black-clad soldiers surged toward the protagonist from all directions, the camera work was clean and concise, without any hesitation.

The protagonist's movements were incredibly fluid, not the light, floating motion of someone suspended by wires, but a real, hard-hitting combat where every step carried power.

Netizens were surprised to find that the fight did not rely on rapid editing to cover up flaws, but instead used continuous medium and long shots to present the entire battle process.

The comments section was filled with exclamations: "The fight scenes are so smooth!" "The action choreography is absolutely amazing!"

Just as they were marveling at the smooth action scenes, the promotional video suddenly changed its style, switching from live-action combat to game characters.

The game's visuals largely maintain the aesthetic style of live-action games, with detailed character models and clothing textures and smooth animations reaching a very high level.

The white-clad swordsman became the protagonist controlled by the player, and the martial arts moves displayed in the game were consistent with those in real-life fight scenes, perfectly reproducing the sense of power and speed in the virtual world.

Netizens are practically swooning! This is just too cool, a true 1:1 replica!
The protagonist was locked in fierce combat with six swordsmen in black when the scene suddenly shifted to a shot of a refined scholar playing the zither.

Netizens took a closer look and realized it was Yu Wei! He looked so handsome after just a few days, and he really looked convincing in ancient costume.

Although it was a bit abrupt, netizens couldn't really accept it. Yu Wei sang the song, so they could understand him showing his face.

Considering it's Yu Wei's first time in a period drama, I won't nitpick.

The screen returned to the actual gameplay demo, and the accuracy and coolness of the moves drew cheers from the comments section. "Wuxia's Musou attacks and Souls-like prison scenes are no fun; it has to be pure coolness to be interesting."

"Have game trailers gotten this bad? The live-action parts are like blockbuster movies, and the game parts are of such high quality. How are other games supposed to survive?"

While netizens were engaged in heated discussions, the six assassins in black were taken down one by one, and the protagonist continued to advance deeper into the bamboo forest with his sword.

With the stirring melody of "Swords and Dreams" playing, seasoned gamers can already smell the boss battle approaching.

Sure enough, as the protagonist stopped, the game boss, dressed in a black robe, made his official appearance at the small pavilion in the forest.

"Humanoid bosses are great, I hate having to trim the feet of big monsters the most."

"Martial arts stories definitely need human bosses, right? It's only interesting when it's real fighting with real swords and spears."

"This boss is pretty cool, could you make him a playable character?"

The gameplay demo skipped the performance and verbal sparring; the two characters went straight into battle upon meeting.

When the chorus of "Swords Like Dreams" begins, "A wild laugh, a long sigh, a life of joy, a life of sorrow," the male protagonist's swordsmanship changes accordingly, transforming from a tentative initial encounter with the boss into a bold and unrestrained attack.

Every movement was perfectly synchronized with the rhythm of the music, and the clash of weapons resembled percussion, blending into the overall melody of the song.

The entire demo sent viewers' adrenaline soaring. This game is unbeatable, and Yu Wei's song is unbeatable too. It was truly a treat for them.

When the protagonist defeats the boss with a cool move, the battle is not over yet. Judging from the looks of it, the boss has entered the second phase.

Just as netizens were anticipating the various forms of the second-phase boss, the promotional video's style changed once again.

The game's protagonist has once again become a white-clad swordsman. The boss, who had just been reduced to zero health, stands there motionless, his black robes completely free of dust.

And why does this face look so familiar?

"what?"

The black-clad swordsman slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of familiar, handsome faces—it was none other than Yu Wei, who had just appeared in the promotional video.

What I thought was a shot of a singer that was out of place turned out to be a foreshadowing.

A gust of wind blew by, rustling the bamboo leaves. His clothes fluttered, making him look like a knight-errant in a traditional Chinese ink painting. The game officially entered its second phase.

"What? This game can beat Yu Wei? I have to buy it now."

Before the netizens could finish posting their joking comments, the two figures, one from the underworld and one from the black world, clashed instantly. The moment Yu Wei drew his longsword, everyone was stunned.

Is he serious? He's actually serious?

Do you remember the kung fu movies that appeared in Yu Wei's novels? At the time, they seemed so fake that no one believed them.

What is this now? Tell me what this is.
If what's written in a novel can be done, that's what reputation is all about!
He was filming an action scene, and his movements were fluid and his swordplay sharp, completely unlike the artistic Yu Wei they remembered.

This scene was even a close-up shot, so it was obvious to everyone that it wasn't a stunt double. Yu Wei wasn't lying; he really did practice.

At first, the black-clad boss merely parried the attacks, but as the song drew to a close, Yu Wei's swordsmanship became increasingly fierce, with each strike aimed at a vital point.

The protagonist was once forced to stand in front of a thick bamboo stalk, with nowhere to retreat, making viewers subconsciously swallow.

This isn't just knowing how to fight, this is really good at fighting! Who would have thought that Yu Wei, who usually just writes and does his job, could do this?
"Is that guy who said he'd go beat up Yu Wei in the game still around?"

"Call Yu Wei over here. I'm telling you, call Yu Wei over here!"
