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

Chapter 273 Little Sunflower's Mom's Class Begins
"Have you decided on a location for your play yet?"

Although Qi Luoan is not involved in the filming, she is quite concerned about Yu Wei's work details and knows the filming location, which will make it convenient for her to visit the set.

She wrote the script herself, and she knew several movie scenes, first the hotel where the wedding was held, then the school and the staff dormitory.

The premise of "Goodbye Mr. Loser" is that the characters travel back to 98, so the school needs to have a sense of the era. Filming in a modern school would definitely not be as good.

"Ideally, we could find an abandoned old school campus or something."

The old campus from over 20 years ago should be easy to find, but it needs to be tidied up beforehand. You can imagine the condition of a place that hasn't been inhabited for so long.

Actually, the school scenes in the original movie weren't filmed at a real school, but rather in a crystal factory. The school in the movie might not be a real school.

Training classrooms, playgrounds, red flags, broadcasts... these are not only found in schools, but also in many factories.

Compared to schools that are constantly being updated and upgraded, many factories are still going strong, making them perfect for filming period dramas.

Yu Wei had already explained these site selection details to Qi Yunming, so there was no need for him to worry about it as there were professionals to handle it.

According to their plan, the crew will split into two groups for the next phase of production. One group will be led by Qi Yunming, who will be responsible for location selection and preparation of costumes, props, and sets.

On the other hand, Yu Wei led a team to provide targeted acting coaching to the lead actors for a period of time.

Comedy is the ultimate test of acting skills. You can get by in idol dramas, but if you're not good at acting in theatrical productions, especially comedies, it's simply unwatchable.

Qi Yuan and the others have good acting skills for their age, but they are still far behind the comedic actors in the original film.

Yu Wei dares not speak for others, but in the film and television works he has already mastered, he is more than capable of teaching a few of them.

"Are you planning to open an acting training class?"

"more or less."

Little Sunflower Mom's Classroom is now open! If your child's acting skills are consistently poor, they're probably doomed...

The open auditions were just a small test. If we want them to perform well, we really need to train them properly, otherwise we'll just ruin our reputation.

He's already arranged everything; training starts tomorrow. No one can slack off, except those whose schedules can't be adjusted.

"Can I come for sightseeing?"

Qi Luoan got excited when he heard this. Watching Yu Wei train his colleague sounded interesting. Others might not know, but Qi Yuan definitely needed to be trained properly.

The self-righteous older brother was definitely going to be on edge when Yu Wei pointed fingers at him in front of so many people; it would be such a shame not to watch.

"Come if you want."

Although she is not involved in the film, as long as she doesn't cause trouble, there's no problem with her being a bystander, since the training course is held in their studio.

Before the training officially began, Yu Wei released all four chapters of "The Devotion of Suspect X" that he had saved up, which was a way to give his readers a boost.

As mentioned in the previous article, Kudo, Yasuko's suitor, appeared, and Yasuko also had feelings for Kudo.

In the new chapter, the police investigated Kudo and went to his apartment to question him about his relationship with Yasuko. Kudo admitted to having feelings for Yasuko but denied involvement in the case and provided an alibi for the night of the incident.

During the conversation, Kudo hinted that Ishigami might have a special interest in Yasuko, suggesting that they were "love rivals" meeting and were particularly hostile towards each other.

After leaving, the police officer went to Teito University to look for Yukawa and found that Yukawa had been frequently going to Josaki Station near the crime scene recently, behaving abnormally.

This physics genius had already seen through the truth. He pointed out the key contradiction in the case: the murderer deliberately chose a brand-new bicycle to steal it in order to ensure that the owner would call the police, thereby misleading the police to focus their investigation on the station.

By diverting the police's attention, they concealed the true route and time of the body disposal.

This is a crucial foreshadowing in the novel: the discovered corpse may not be the correct one...

Meanwhile, after witnessing Yasuko and Kudo together, Ishigami called Yasuko late at night to check on the police's movements and instructed Misato to discuss the movie with her classmates to strengthen their alibis.

The reader felt uneasy about Ishigami's close surveillance of Yasuko's life and his jealousy of Kudo.

Is Ishigami going to become a loser?

In the eyes of readers, Ishigami is the protagonist of this book, and they will naturally adopt Ishigami's perspective when reading it.

To risk one's life to clear the name of the woman one loves, only to find out she's having an affair with someone else, must be a terrible feeling.

They were increasingly unable to understand Ishigami's actions. Was this strong desire to dominate really love, or was it foreshadowing something?

If it were their first time reading Yu Wei's suspense novel, they would question the quality of this work. However, with "Malice" preceding it, readers would not dare to make any hasty conclusions.

At least in Chapter 13, Ishigami has been officially listed as a suspect by the police, and his friend Yukawa has also shared his findings.

Just as crisis loomed and storm was brewing, Yu Wei stopped writing...

Readers would be devastated to see this. Why did the author have to end it here of all places? Is this author even human?

"Yukawa's bitter expression at the end of chapter 13 is chilling! He may have seen through Ishigami's feelings for Yasuko, but he is unwilling to admit that his friend is the murderer."

"Is it just my imagination? I feel like Ishigami's threats are so deliberate, like he's trying to make people think he's a stalker."

"This book is somewhat similar to one I read before. Send me a few more chapters to read."

The abacus beads were almost hitting Yu Wei's face. There were still a few chapters left in "The Devotion of Suspect X," and he was looking forward to seeing how everyone would react when the ending came to be.

After finishing the novel, Yu Wei felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders, and now she could focus on making movies.

The next morning, Zhang Lingye and Qi Yuan finally arrived at Yu Wei's studio, which they had been longing to visit. Of course, they didn't switch jobs; they were just there to attend a class.

Their scripts were both colorful, with different colored pens used to mark the rhythm of the lines and the psychological analysis of the characters, clearly showing that they had put a lot of thought into them.

But that's not enough. No matter how thoroughly they understand the script, it's not as important as acting; otherwise, they wouldn't be here. During the auditions, Yu Wei's performance captivated them, and they felt reassured with him in class…

"I wish I could work here."

Zhang Lingye looked around the studio. It seemed that there were hardly any people in the studio today, in order to make it easier for them to conduct training.

"Think about it, and it will come to you."

Qi Yuan suddenly teased, "Don't even mention him, I want to come too. Zhang Lingye just wants to enjoy the shade under the big tree, but he really wants to help Yu Wei conquer the world."

If he could work for Yu Wei, he'd be willing to sell his sister for personal gain... even if he didn't, his little sister would sell herself anyway.

"Hey, it's a rare visitor."

Speak of the devil, and he appears. Qi Luoan pushed open the meeting room door and immediately noticed Silly Bird and his "arch-rival" teammate. These two can be considered a pair of star-crossed lovers.

"why you?"

Seeing his little sister there, Qi Yuan wanted to run away immediately. Judging from her appearance, it seemed that she had already taken over the Eastern Palace and become the boss lady.

Damn it, he was constantly being held back when he tried to switch jobs, but who would have thought that this guy had already risen to a leadership position.

"I am Mr. Yu's secretary."

Qi Luo'an casually made up an identity; if she wanted, she could be anyone Yu Wei wanted—that's what play is all about…

"Come in quickly, we're just waiting for the two of you."

Since they were already there, Qi Yuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the meeting room. Besides the two of them, Chi Leying and Tong Yulu had arrived even earlier, so there were only the four of them today.

Su Jian is on her way here by plane. Fei Hong has other things to do and will arrive in a few days.

Once everyone had arrived, the rehearsal officially began. There was nothing to say about Yu Wei's segment; his understanding of the play was a cut above the rest, and no one could find fault with him.

This is like a rehearsal for the movie. If they make a mistake, they can start over, which is much better than having to do retakes on set.

Then they discovered what was terrifying about Yu Wei: this guy was completely flawless, from his opening remarks to his self-introduction, he remembered not a single word wrong.

Moreover, to ensure a smooth process, Yu Wei also played many roles that were not present, truly making one person play multiple roles.

Even so, he never makes a mistake, switching between several roles at will, and his mastery of the lines is incredibly strong.

Qi Luoan, who was responsible for pouring tea for Yu Wei, seemed used to it. "Look at you guys, so unsophisticated. He was just like that when we were filming 'The Tuner'."

"What are you standing there for? It's your turn!"

After Yu Wei finished reciting Teacher Wang's lines, Yuan Hua should have been the next to speak, but instead he just stood there in a daze.

"Oh oh oh."

Qi Yuan quickly caught on and continued the conversation. He had a strong feeling that even without them, Yu Wei could act in the entire movie by himself.

Of the four people present, all of them had problems with their acting skills. Qi Yuan's acting was too obvious and a bit dogmatic.

Many performances are too tense, making the performers look a bit fake. This is typical of academic performers. He learned his craft from his grandmother for many years, and while he was skilled, he couldn't apply the techniques effectively.

Among them, Chi Leying is the most talented actress. She is the most adept at understanding people's hearts, has a great understanding of the characters, and her acting skills are also up to par. She is the one who needs the least amount of training.

Tong Yulu has made significant progress compared to last time, but she still has the same problem: her eyes lack expression.

The role of Ma Dongmei requires considerable acting skills. If the actor hasn't grasped the essence of the character before filming officially begins, they might have to be replaced.

"Our group is disbanding the day after tomorrow. What do you think about me joining your studio?"

During her break, Tong Yulu directly offered her services and expressed her intention to sign a contract with the company.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan and Zhang Lingye, who were standing nearby, immediately looked distressed. They were the ones who arrived first, so how come everyone else was ahead of them?

"Not good enough, I can't afford to support someone as important as you."

Although Tong Yulu is a minor idol, her popularity is already hovering on the edge of becoming a top-tier celebrity, and the signing fee she needs must be a huge sum.

Moreover, the disbandment of a girl group does not mean the termination of a contract. If she still has other contracts with her own company, they will have to negotiate with her and refuse to sign them.

Yu Wei only wants to get something for free. He'll definitely take the multi-million dollar inheritance, but who wants multi-million dollar debt? He certainly doesn't want to inherit this guy's Alipay balance...

Tong Yulu retreated dejectedly, knowing that Yu Wei wouldn't suffer a loss. It seemed that if Yu Wei wanted to switch jobs, she would have to do some more work.

Yu Wei was in the midst of intensive training when he suddenly received a call from Meng Han in the afternoon, asking if the crew was still short of people.

"Of course we're short-staffed. What film crew doesn't need more people?"

He didn't know about other things, but the important role of Teacher Wang hadn't been decided yet. Meng Han was too serious and not suitable, so let him play the principal instead.

“I have a friend who is very interested in your play.”

"Is the friend you're talking about Senior Lin?"

Meng Han has lured Lin Puyan over again. Last time she lured him to the program crew, and this time she lured him to the film crew. It can be called the most daring tactic ever.

Upon hearing the accurate answer, Yu Wei's brows instantly relaxed. Lin Puyan was not very serious, but he had rich acting experience, making him perfect for the role of Teacher Wang.

His fists and feet were itching for action...
