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

Chapter 281 Yu Wei, you're so confused!
"unfair!"

"Taking the whole game seriously, but losing the game because of a bug."

"I'm reporting him for vote rigging! Disqualify him immediately!"

Zhang Lingye was going crazy as he watched the vote count gradually close. Why? He had clearly adopted the most conservative strategy, and even chose to finish off opponents after taking the lead.

The result is that not last-hitting minions actually helped, but when they did, the opponent turned the game around. Is that right?

Even with an extremely favorable wind, a game where one foot was already in the promotion zone could be turned around. Is "Qi Yi'er" her destiny...?

"You disqualified me because you helped me rig the votes?"

Qi Yuan was almost grinning from ear to ear. He had long been out of ammunition and ready to be eliminated, but he never expected to turn the tide at this critical juncture.

No one will support my lofty ambitions; I will brave the snow to reach the mountain peak myself. He is the true chosen one!

"#$^&%!$#??*&%￥&@34%#"

I couldn't understand it, but Zhang Lingye's curses were very vulgar.

If he hadn't posted to garner votes for himself, he would have been a sure winner. Instead, he focused on riding the wave of popularity and ended up getting himself involved.

If he simply lost the match, that would be one thing, but being eliminated in a comeback could be something he'd regret for the rest of his life...

Who would have thought that Qi Yuan could ride on the coattails of the "brother-in-law's" popularity? What's even more infuriating is that he managed to gain this popularity through his own live stream last time.

The cause of today is the effect of tomorrow. This is a pit that Zhang Lingye dug for himself. The gifts of fate have already been secretly marked with a price.

"I only lost to the aftermath of 'Seven Mile Fragrance,' not you."

Yu Wei's move was too ruthless. He secured first place through sheer talent, and the song's popularity even helped him secure a second place.

"You're right, but I'm second, and you're third."

As the afternoon filming approached, Qi Yuan had already achieved a tie, and Lao Zhang was running out of steam. It was only a matter of time before he secured second place.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingye became even more furious, but there was nothing he could do at the moment. He could only grit his teeth and swallow the bitterness.

Life is full of ups and downs.

This is good news for Yu Wei. The situation of the competition is clear, and he can start to plan the next part of the story. He can also come up with a topic for the second competition.

"How could he possibly win like that?"

Qi Luoan watched the game unfold and gradually fell silent. Zhang Lingye was indeed a useless card, having been overturned by his older brother time and time again, and had become his personal punching bag.

We shouldn't have placed any hope on him eliminating Qi Yuan; let's look forward to the round of 16 to 8 and hope that a strong AI can defeat him.

She wasn't actually hoping her brother would suffer every day; she just wanted to see him gain something from the competition. Winning by accident was worse than losing fair and square. The competition was fake; the process was more important than the result.

During the afternoon shoot, Qi Yuan was in an exaggeratedly good state, his previous slump completely gone. He sat there looking very presentable, just like Yuan Hua himself.

Although it was a losing game, Zhang Lingye's performance was not greatly affected, and the filming went quite smoothly.

It's no wonder people say the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and pigs. Qi Yuan is the kind of person who can't hide her worries, while Lao Zhang clearly has a big heart.

“That year during Chinese New Year, my dad delivered a Sony radio to you.”

“Zhang Yang.” Lin Puyan grasped Teacher Wang’s expression perfectly. “That teacher cannot forget.”

"Teacher Wang, my father gave me a TV."

Qi Yuan smoothly followed up with a toast.

"Yuan Hua, still such a handsome man."

"Teacher, I gave you a wall calendar."

Fei Hong had been grinning foolishly for a long time before it was finally his turn to act. His acting skills were already excellent, and with the one-on-one tutoring from Yu Wei a few days ago, the idiot's performance was incredibly lifelike.

Despite knowing the script by heart, Qi Luoan still couldn't help but lose his composure when he saw this.

These movies have well-known jokes and gags, but they still bring a smile to your face when you see them again. Maybe that's what makes them classics?
Clearly, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" has this potential; she has a feeling that this scene will be very popular after its release.

Everyone was in top form and quickly finished filming the dinner scene. From then on, only the scenes of Xia Luo getting drunk and Ma Dongmei arriving at Qiu Ya's wedding remained.

Oh, we're just missing a scene where Charlotte rents a Maserati and takes it for a stroll downstairs.

Qi Luoan ran away before the filming ended, but she didn't go far. Instead, she pretended to take a stroll outside and waited for Yu Wei to come out.

As it turned out, Yu Wei didn't wait for them; instead, he saw Lao Qi and Qi Yuan come out together.

Qi Luoan was caught red-handed before he could dodge.

"You haven't left yet?"

Qi Yunming glanced at her, feeling that his daughter had been acting strangely lately, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it...

"I have a few questions for you."

Qi Luoan's mind raced. Making up an excuse at this time was obviously inappropriate. There was nothing special on set, so how could he say it was just a walk?

It's better to tell the truth directly, which will avoid arousing suspicion.

"Oh, go home early."

Qi Yunming didn't ask any further questions upon hearing this. An'an and Yu Wei had collaborated quite a bit, such as on the plot and development of that book, so it was normal to discuss serious matters.

I'll listen to you and go home now, but I'll wait for Yu Wei to come home with me.

Qi Luoan breathed a sigh of relief after watching the two leave. She was afraid that her brother would add fuel to the fire, but thankfully, he was too immersed in the joy of victory to bother her.

"He deliberately waited until Lao Qi and the others were far away before coming out; that's a detail."

After Yu Wei came out, she silently took Qi Luo'an's hand. There was no blushing, no heartbeat, no ambiguity or shyness, just a natural habit. Their fingers intertwined, warm and reassuring.

"Detailed? Who can be more detailed than you?"

"You're upset again, Zhenxi." Yu Wei secretly pinched her hard. "Luckily, I'm careless, averaging five typos per chapter."

Qi Luoan is no longer interested in these kinds of lowbrow jokes; he just talks big and treats anything he hasn't seen before as a caterpillar.

The two walked very slowly, chatting idly about trivial matters, and somehow managed to take more than forty minutes to cover what should have been a ten-minute journey.

While they were enjoying their time together, a major event was taking place online: after the official account for "Goodbye Mr. Loser" was registered, it uploaded a group photo of the main creative team and the opening ceremony.

Netizens were eagerly anticipating this movie and naturally rushed to watch it immediately. The film they had been waiting for had finally started shooting.

The more hopeful the result, the more desperate it became. Who could understand the sense of redemption that director Qi Yunming evoked at first glance?
"It's completely rotten!"

"It's over, this movie is going to flop."

"After waiting for so long, this is what they serve me? Is this even watchable, a movie by Director Qi?"

"I don't know how the script is, but even a good script probably can't withstand Director Qi's bad film buff. It's a pity."

"One word: moist; two words: run!"

Qi Yunming has virtually no credibility among movie fans. No matter how good the cast or the script, he can turn it into a mess. Even the biggest hype becomes tiresome after more than a decade.

Many bad movies are controversial, and every now and then a video blogger comes out to defend them, asking, "Did you really understand XXX?"

However, it's common knowledge that Qi Yunming's films are terrible; they only appear in the "Red Stone" series of bloggers who criticize them, and even experts wouldn't use them to show off their understanding.

Once or twice could be a coincidence, but this has happened so many times already. Anyone who still believes him is either a naive person or a masochist...

Yu Wei's works come with a high-quality filter, but this quality is met with Qi Yunming's debuff, so people still don't have much confidence.

The film and television industry is not like the music industry. Yu Wei doesn't have much experience in this field, and he probably won't be able to withstand Director Qi's influence.

"It's all over, it's all over! Yu Wei, you're so foolish!"

"The comedy is turning into an awkward laugh film, Director Qi, please stop your magic soon."

“Yu Wei, if you’ve been kidnapped, just blink. Let’s go home, okay? We’ll find a conscientious director to reshoot the film.”

"I understand now. Director Qi is using his daughter to lure Yu Wei into a trap. This is a compromise in love. They are truly a pair of star-crossed lovers. I cried."

"How could Director Qi be so mean!"

Looking at the chorus of complaints online, Yu Wei fell into deep thought. He seemed to have underestimated Lao Qi's influence, albeit negatively.

In the entertainment industry, if a director makes two bad movies, people can already avoid them; if they make more than five, they're practically pariahs. But directors like Qi Yunming, who make bad movies but still love to make them, are downright terrifying.

You don't even need to watch Qi Yunming's movies; just criticize him, and everyone will think you're knowledgeable...

It wasn't just his readers and fans who were complaining; fans of the other lead actors were also lamenting.

Chi Leying's fans are already terrified and are desperately replying to the comments section with "TD" to unsubscribe. They would rather act in a period drama and stand still than act in a bad movie and be ridiculed by everyone.

Although Tong Yulu's status in the film surpasses that of Chi Leying, Tong Yulu's fans are not happy. Is winning a contest of who is worse than whom good news is?
The happiest commenters were Zhou Mumu's fans. They said a bad movie with a bad actor was perfect, and Fei Hong deserved to make such a bad movie.

Thankfully, Mumu from their family didn't get involved...

It's sure to receive rave reviews!
"It's already been given a death sentence right after filming started; what would happen if it were actually released?"

Qi Luoan brought over a plate of washed strawberries. To be honest, she thought the netizens' pessimism was justified.

As his own daughter, Qi Luoan knows her husband Qi too well. Making bad movies is not his skill, but rather his passive ability.

He himself didn't know how the film went so badly during filming. Whether it was a complete failure or a deliberate effort, he had tried every possible method.

Sometimes, metaphysics really does have some truth to it. I wonder if Yu Wei's movie can defy fate.

From the perspective of personal ability, Qi Luoan certainly believed in Yu Wei, but the evaluation of a film is ultimately determined by the audience.

With the film's apocalyptic opening and the audience's complete distrust, it has already gone too far.

"On the bright side, if the audience lowers their expectations, they might be even more surprised."

Yu Wei became even more excited. He thought, "It's good to have doubts. Only with doubts can we seek verification. What movies fear most is being ignored. So many people questioning the film is actually a form of advertising for it."

Besides, if the film flops, everyone will just blame Lao Qi, what does it have to do with him...

Old Qi is a kind and honest man!

He didn't pay much attention to the netizens' pessimistic comments; updating today's novel was the priority.

The first match of the third round has officially ended. The top three in the group are Zhou Mulun, Qi Yuan, and Zhang Lingye.

The top two advanced to the third elimination round, and Lao Zhang finally left the stage...

In fact, Zhang Lingye doesn't need to be sad. In a few years, he will know that he lost this competition fairly. Time will prove the value of "Seven Mile Fragrance".

So there's no need to feel inferior; rather, feel honored.

"The first set is love songs, shouldn't the second set be more inspirational?"

Qi Luoan didn't know what Yu Wei's arrangements were. The reason she said it was inspirational was simply because this theme was Lin Yuting's comfort zone.

Although the second group is called the "Internet Celebrity Group," Chen Chen's skills are not bad, and the other native character named Xu Gao is still unknown. Yu Ting's situation is not good.

She definitely hopes her own people will advance, after all, Lin Yuting is an artist from Yu Wei's studio.

Yu Wei remained silent, but quietly typed out the theme for the second group stage match – Wuxia (martial arts).
