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

Chapter 280 They would have won if they hadn't made any moves.
Old Qi is planning to stay at my place temporarily. What should I do? I need help urgently...

Staying for a while during filming isn't a big deal, so Yu Wei shouldn't have hesitated. But Qi Luoan is at his house. What if his father catches him in the act?
They were trying to create a time difference to confuse the public and avoid being discovered, but if Lao Qi moves in, all their pretense will be ruined.

Yu Wei Ke cannot admit to something without being asked.

He was just trying to figure out how to refuse when Qi Yunming took back what he had just said.

"Never mind, I forgot you also have to write and create, so it's not convenient to bother you."

Actually, Qi Yunming initially planned to go find Qi Yuan, and staying at his son's house would definitely not be a problem. However, seeing that Qi Yuan was upset about the competition, he turned to ask Yu Wei instead.

But upon closer reflection, Yu Wei wasn't really suitable. He should go back to his son. No matter how upset he was about losing the game, he wouldn't shut out his own father.

Yu Wei didn't explain. He couldn't very well refuse. It was actually easier for him if Lao Qi took the initiative to give up the idea, so he could just focus on finding some good deals...

The dressing room assistant had been waiting for a while. Seeing that the two had finished chatting, she called Yu Wei over and asked him to try on Xia Luo's suit from Qiu Ya's wedding.

The props team did a great job of recreating the props; they even replicated the few chicken feathers on the chest, making it a true replica of the emcee's outfit.

The makeup artist carefully applied makeup to him, deliberately exaggerating his dark circles under his eyes to highlight his disheveled and tired state.

At the wedding, Xia Luo must have been forcing himself to look energetic, but he couldn't hide his haggard appearance. The makeup team was quite professional, proving that they had spent the money on actors wisely.

Before long, Yu Wei met Meng Lei, who was acting as the emcee. Meng Lei and his son had been brought in by Yu Wei to make cameo appearances, though their roles weren't very large.

"Big brother, your armor isn't as nice as mine."

Meng Lei was taken aback. Aren't they all the same style and design? Is there really such a thing?

And what accent is that?
"Brother Wei, about my competition..."

When the schedule was first released, Meng Lei was the only one in a group with two natives. Everyone thought he was guaranteed a spot, since the AI ​​match was easy to beat.
As a result, Meng Lei was stunned when he listened to the songs last night. If everyone else is at Zhou Mulun's level, then what's the point of him playing?

What kind of guaranteed admission is this? It's practically a hellish group assignment. Would someone else want this blessing?

"It's okay, just compete normally."

Meng Lei's group seems to consist of a group of stars and Zhang Wei. Da Zhangwei's songs are all in an optimistic style, which is quite popular with his audience, but they might not be as popular in competitions.

As for the stars, Yu Wei really wanted to eliminate these natives. It wasn't that they were over the limit, but that it was troublesome for them to sing. Now that we don't use AI but use tuning, how long would it take to tune the voices of a bunch of stars?

It was taken offline because the special effects were too expensive...

After changing into their costumes, the filming of Qiuya's wedding officially began, starting directly with the scene at the dinner table. The monologue on the road at the beginning of the movie will be added later.

Act 1 of the first scene is rarely filmed in one take; people treat it as a way to familiarize themselves with the setting and adjust the atmosphere, and don't take it too seriously.

Chi Leying, who plays Qiuya, wore a white wedding dress and was the most dazzling person in the crowd. She had a good figure, at least no less than that in the original film.

However, Yu Wei had just discussed the novel's plot with Qi Luo'an yesterday, so he wasn't particularly interested in it.

Everyone was in good spirits, except for Qi Yuan, who plays Yuan Hua. Today, he didn't have Yuan Hua's spirited demeanor at all and had already entered the mournful phase of "Yi Jian Mei".

However, Yuan Hua's role in this drinking scene was quite important, so much so that the filming effect was rather mediocre.

"I'm so sorry..."

Qi Yuan was at a loss. There were still many scenes in this drama where he and Zhang Lingye interacted arrogantly. How could he be happy when he thought that Zhang Lingye was about to eliminate him by his own hand?
It's true that Qi Yuan was unprofessional, but this was the first time anyone had ever seen something like this, so no one blamed him.

What does it mean when a song competition is in full swing off-set while a movie is being filmed?

This kind of thing would never happen in a real match, but it works perfectly in Yu Wei's fake match. This thing ignores terrain and time...

"It's okay, good movies are made through hard work."

Yu Wei had long been prepared for a protracted battle. If he was going to shoot, he would shoot until it was perfect. He couldn't just produce a half-finished product to fool people. He had to be wary of Lao Qi.

Fortunately, the production team wasn't stupid. Since Qi Yuan wasn't in good condition, they simply had Yu Wei film the monologue scene on the road and the scene where she opened the door and wore the same outfit as the emcee.

Yu Wei's acting skills were on full display, surprising and delighting everyone. They were worried that Teacher Yu was too young to portray the greasy middle-aged Xia Luo, but they did not expect that his performance was quite nuanced.

While capturing the smugness of a petty person who has achieved success, he also convincingly portrayed the pretentious vanity and the guilty conscience of someone worried about being exposed.

This scene served as a lesson for the rest of the crew, showing them how to perform so well despite having multiple roles.

"Am I just bad at everything...?"

Looking at Yu Wei's teaching situation, Qi Yuan felt increasingly suffocated. It was bad enough that she was going to be eliminated from the singing competition, but now she was dragging the crew down in her acting. Sigh.

With his skill level, what's the point of helping Yu Wei build an empire? Yu Wei could easily beat them with a simple alt account. What's the point of having him?

"Ah."

Zhang Lingye didn't even bother to comfort him. Why was he acting so girly? Losing a game is normal, everyone loses.

He lost in the first round and was pushed into the resurrection round by Qi Yuan, but he still survived.

"A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs, just you wait!"

Yu Wei teased him, but Qi Yuan didn't take offense. After all, he was being beaten up by someone else, and you, little Zhang Lingye, are still calling for help.

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered; let's wait for its final revenge before it dies.

These days, who doesn't have a trump card up their sleeve?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingye frowned. Oh no, he should have pretended to comfort him earlier. Why did he have to provoke this guy?

I can't let myself get killed like this, can I?

He glanced at the vote difference; although there was a significant gap, there was still room for manipulation, which he had to be wary of.

In the first round, Zhang Lingye was defeated by Qi Yuan because he was careless. This time, he must stay calm.

Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit; he decided to reveal all his cards and crush Qi Yuan in one fell swoop.

I can't beat Zhou Mulun, but I can't beat you?

Yu Wei's solo performance went very smoothly. Apart from having to film it twice due to positioning issues, it was flawless, leaving everyone else stunned.

The morning shoot ended early. Qi Yunming gave Qi Yuan a few words of advice, telling him to adjust his mindset quickly, or he would have to replace him if he delayed the filming any longer. Qi Luo'an arrived during the lunch break, which wasn't just a time difference, it was like a time difference, showing that he had gone to great lengths to avoid suspicion.

However, they also understood the principle of moderation, and continued to interact normally on set, being affectionate and clingy as appropriate.

They only concealed their cohabitation, without avoiding any appearance of impropriety in their relationship.

"Great, just in time to eat my boxed lunch."

"Look at your potential."

The director is her father, the screenwriter and lead actor are her boyfriend, and she even goes to the film set to freeload meals—that's something else...

The two were eating when they suddenly saw Qi Yuan sneaking off to a corner with his lunchbox, fiddling with his phone. He clearly wasn't doing anything productive.

"Based on my understanding of my brother, his behavior is like that of someone using forbidden power."

In plain terms, he's going to resort to some underhanded tactics. If he can't beat the natives with underhanded tactics, surely he can beat this kid Zhang Lingye?
Since a large number of fans left, Qi Yuan had been too embarrassed to ask his fan club to vote for him. Today, he was forced to resort to this desperate measure.

A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Even if he can't win, he has to put some pressure on Zhang Lingye.

Just after Qi Yuan timidly explained the situation to his fan club, his votes finally started to rise, increasing by 300.

No, that's it?
How come my million Taro Balls only have three hundred heroes left? With that few people, I probably couldn't even cut the numbers off Pinduoduo...

Fans in the fandom need emotional value. We don't expect you to pander to them, but you can't just ignore them. If there's a mass exodus of fans and the remaining die-hard fans aren't engaged, wouldn't they feel disheartened?

Qi Yuan thought he had a trump card, but it turned out to be a complete flop, not even making a ripple.

This is really the end.

"Where's the forbidden power you were promised?"

Yu Wei was focused on the increase in votes. Even if Qi Yuan's increase continued, it would be difficult for him to surpass Zhang Lingye, not to mention that he didn't even last long and it ended before it even started.

How do you think you can win a game with that kind of head?

"Hey, big brother and sister-in-law, are you having dinner?"

Zhang Lingye happened to pass by, greeted Yu Weiqi and Luo An, and looked extremely confident and smug.

He had just revealed his trump card to prevent Qi Yuan from retaliating; he couldn't afford to give himself any chance this time.

"Brother, I helped promote your new song."

Yu Wei was taken aback when she heard this, and immediately saw Zhang Lingye's new post when she opened her phone.

[# "Seven Mile Fragrance" - A masterpiece. After experiencing the sweetness of love, Yu Wei's ability to describe love songs has been further broken through. It's so beautiful that it's unbelievable.]

Without Sui Yu Er An, there would be no song. As a die-hard fan of the CP (couple pairing), I must strongly recommend it.
Is this what you call promotion? I'm too embarrassed to call you out on it!

"Seven Mile Fragrance" doesn't need promotion. This song is already more popular than Zhang Lingye. His actions seem like promotion, but in reality, he's advertising for himself.

If he solidifies his image as a leading figure among CP fans, his fans will vote for him, since most netizens believe that this song was a product of Yu Wei's relationship.

As a leading figure in the CP (couple) fandom, he can definitely leave a good impression among the fans, thus achieving the effect of riding the wave of popularity and garnering votes.

Admittedly, this is indeed a good idea. Right now, "Seven Mile Fragrance" is the biggest hit, and the best way to compete with it is not to oppose it, but to stand on the same side.

Zhang Lingye is clearly relying on a particular path. Last time, he turned the tables and won the "Rare Characters" competition by riding on Yu Wei's popularity, and this time it's the same thing.

With Yu Wei's popularity as a trump card, no matter how much Qi Yuan tries, he can't make a splash.

"They're pretty cunning."

Yu Weizheng was impressed that Zhang Lingye, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, could also come up with tactics, but the next second he was frightened by the change in the number of votes.

Zhang Lingye's votes increased, but Qi Yuan's increased even more.

"what happened?"

Qi Yuan herself didn't know what was going on. The fan club hadn't made a move at all, so it was obviously not their doing.

Were they favored by the god of fate?

"Look at this."

Qi Luoan pushed his phone over; it contained nothing but the comment section of Zhang Lingye's post from earlier.

"Great job, fan leader! I'll give you credit for being able to hear the song."

"Last time Lao Zhang said in his live stream that Qi Yuan was the matchmaker for Sui Yu Er An, so shouldn't we thank him for this song?"

"That reminds me, I almost forgot to vote for my brother-in-law in the Chinese server."

"If your brother-in-law doesn't introduce you to someone, how can Yu Wei find a girlfriend? And if Yu Wei doesn't find a girlfriend, how can he write such a sweet song? Why don't you go vote for your brother-in-law?"

No?

Zhang Lingye was trying to garner votes for himself, but somehow it turned into him garnering votes for Qi Yuan...

Yesterday, fans went to Xie Qiluo's house because she was the one who brought about the creation of this song.

It was only after Zhang Lingye's reminder that everyone realized they should also thank their brother-in-law. If it weren't for his introduction, Yu Wei would still be singing "Single Love Song."

I have no way to repay your kindness in helping us get started. You all really enjoyed the presentation this time. This small thumbs-up is just a token of my respect and a small expression of my concern. Please accept it.

"My darn thing!"

After riding the wave of popularity of "Seven Mile Fragrance", Qi Yuan's increase in popularity was exaggerated. Zhang Lingye almost gritted his teeth. These were his soldiers! These were all his soldiers!

"That's a good move. You would have won if you hadn't made any move."
