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

Chapter 28 What the heck? Where's my song?
The film suffers from a disjointed structure, loose pacing, inconsistent plot logic, and a protagonist whose character is inconsistent. The main selling point is the actor's charisma, yet the protagonist lacks any appeal. Overall rating: 1.2.

This is probably the lowest score Wei Yu has ever given since he started using the rating system; there's nothing commendable about this movie.

He originally just wanted to find a bad movie to rate so he could make his own short film, but he was too good at eating and picked the one with the strongest flavor in the summer season.

When Wei Yu posted his film review, netizens were shocked. What's going on with this rating guy? Isn't the Chinese music scene enough for you to criticize? Why are you trying to make a living in the film and television industry?
It's one thing to rate songs—after watching two songs, he certainly proved he had the right to do so. But what's with him, a singer, rating a movie?

Don't rush, let the bullet misfire for a while.

Yu Weixian wrote a transitional passage for the filming scenario: since the protagonist has a scoring system, he should give a high score at this time.

Forget about being in the same industry or not; we're just targeting our own industry!
In fact, longtime readers familiar with entertainment articles already know what he's up to: criticizing movies, implying the main character is going to make a film...

This kind of plot, where the arrow is shot first and the target is drawn later, is very common, but the question is, where is the song?
The singing segment in the storyline is over, but what about the performances outside the venue? Where did that long rendition of "Hear the Rain" go?

They made bets, read books, and waited for four or five days, but they never saw any trace of the song.

Surely this song wasn't just something the author made up...

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. I'm not some brainless villain from a novel who would keep throwing his life away after being burned once. This song definitely exists!"

"Is it possible that the author knew you would think this way, so he deliberately wrote a song for real this time?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Those few lines of lyrics I copied seem quite poetic. I guess the song is still in the early stages of production."

"What kind of background does this author have? How could he get his hands on a half-finished song?"

The readers are quite clever; they guessed pretty accurately. "Hearing the Sound of Rain" is indeed not finished yet, and Yu Wei will have to go to the company to record a formal version later.

The song and the seventh episode of "HELLO Roommate" will be released at the same time, and they will work together to create a huge buzz.

"As expected, netizens are not NPCs."

……

In the conference room on the 17th floor of the Yinghuo Huawen Building, Liu Ning was still bewildered as she looked at the newly received cooperation agreement. They had only arranged for Yu Wei to appear on a variety show, so how did they end up producing a song...?

Is it that productive?
She doesn't know much about music, but Teacher Hong Hui's eyes lit up after hearing the live demo, which shows that the song is also quite good.

Is this little salted fish really cheating?

Yu Wei, who had been timidly led onto the stage by her, had already received two raises in her salary and benefits...

Although she was a senior agent in name only, her treatment was still incomparable to others; otherwise, she wouldn't have been assigned to manage the relatively unknown Yu Wei.

Who would have thought that she actually hit the jackpot?

Just as she was reflecting on the twists and turns of her life, Yu Wei, who was preparing to record a song, arrived and called her "Sister Liu" from afar.

His enthusiastic demeanor was definitely partly meant to attract attention, considering that many artists have experienced situations where their managers are suddenly replaced.

To put it bluntly, the higher-ups definitely want to place their own people around celebrities, keeping the benefits within the family and making it easier to control them.

The more enthusiastic Yu Wei was towards her, the more hesitant the higher-ups became to replace her, since Yu Wei was only a business partner, and they still had to consider the personal favor involved.

Liu Ning saw it clearly; this kid was trying to protect himself in a roundabout way...

Yu Wei used to be so honest and simple-minded, I don't know where he learned all these tricks.

"Sister Liu, I'm going to make you work overtime again."

Yu Wei did have an intention to put on a show for the rest of the company, but it is undeniable that his relationship with Sister Liu was indeed as warm as it appeared on the surface.

At the company, she treated me like a parent. Putting aside this sense of gratitude, even in simple business dealings, Sister Liu was far more reliable than others.

Celebrity agents are not some guiding spirits; they wield considerable power and are strongly connected to the celebrities on certain levels.

In fact, many celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry who have made outrageous moves have managers behind them. It's a position that is so closely related to him, and he doesn't trust anyone other than Sister Liu.

"My shift is so popular that even if someone wanted to join, they couldn't find another one."

Liu Ning smiled with relief before handing the agreement to Yu Wei for signature. "I've checked it for you. The production team only wants the right to use the song; nothing else is involved."

"HELLO Roommate" is not a music variety show, so it's impossible to discuss deeper collaborations.

Yu Wei nodded, and while reviewing the agreement, asked casually, "Sister Liu, do you know how the company applies to shoot a short film?"

That was quite unintentional...

"Short film?"

Liu Ning instantly realized that Yu Wei was up to something again. If it were before, she would have told Yu Wei to go somewhere cool and stay away. How could he possibly care about filming?

But now, she unconsciously trusts Yu Wei more, even though this trust is without any reason.

“The process of shooting a short film is very complicated. If you’re not in the film and television department, there’s basically nothing to discuss…” She trusted Yu Wei, but the company wasn’t so easy to talk to. “How about this, we apply for the same procedure as shooting a music video. Your words are more convincing.”

That's brilliant! No wonder Sister Liu is one of us. Could anyone else teach her how to take advantage of the company?

It just so happens that Yu Wei also likes the music video for the song "Hear the Sound of Rain," so why not apply for permission under the guise of making a music video first, and then make his own short film?

"What are you..."

Liu Ning couldn't suppress her curiosity. If he wanted to act, he could ask her to help him find resources. With Yu Wei's current popularity, he wouldn't have to worry about not having roles. What was he doing?

"The kids don't know any better; they were just taking pictures for fun."

Yu Wei's habit is that he doesn't need to explain things too clearly before they are accomplished, so as not to let others have expectations or be disappointed on their own.

As for why he doesn't seek out roles himself... all I can say is that he still values ​​his reputation.

Making a bad drama sows the seeds of stereotypes and a dark past that no amount of good dramas can wash away. He's not short of money right now, so there's no need for him to tarnish his reputation.

If he were to actually make a low-quality historical drama, it would be a case of "his brilliant idea surpassing even the most ingenious attempts of his critics."

However, there's no rush, since Yu Wei hasn't even received the script yet, and he hasn't even started writing the plot for "The Tuner".

"Hey, the busy man is back."

Yu Wei was about to go downstairs to record a song when Zhang Lingye, who had a headband tied around his head, happened to pass by. He was obviously also planning to go to the conference room to discuss some business.

"Same here. By the way, are you free lately? Come help me shoot a music video."

Why not take advantage of free labor? After shooting the music video, you can go straight to filming other movies – a seamless transition!

Seeing Zhang Lingye's skeptical look, Yu Wei quickly added, "I'll arrange it, I guarantee you'll have plenty of sex scenes."

"Is there such a good thing?"

"It's covered."

The corpse in "Andhadhun" slept for quite a long time...
