Chapter 286 Couples Fighting Couples

Is it really numb?

"It's really numb."

"Then you swear."

Qi Luo'an, who witnessed Yu Wei finish filming the kissing scene, looked like a wronged little wife. She could understand that it was just filming, but only if it was really numb...

Ideally, you should feel absolutely nothing throughout the entire process, with your mouth feeling completely numb, as if it were paralyzed.

She'll throw a tantrum if there's even the slightest touch!
"It's really numb."

It wasn't that Yu Wei had a strong will to survive; he genuinely didn't feel anything.

He was kissed so hard by Qi Luoan that when they were filming the kissing scene, he felt like his lips were rented, as if they didn't exist, let alone feel anything.

There's a kind of beauty in this story: almost getting sent away for sneaking a smoke of grandpa's old-fashioned pipe, and then being forced to quit smoking.

His mouth was numb, but he was just going through the motions. However, Tong Yulu was clearly still not over it. After filming this scene, she became famous and could only pretend to be calm with a fake smile.

It was obvious to everyone that she was a bit awkward, but no one pointed it out. You get used to this kind of acting after filming it so many times.

"You've really gotten lucky, kid."

After adjusting her mindset, Qi Luoan still teased him a couple of times, mentioning that in the movie "Goodbye Mr. Loser," he kissed both Ma Dongmei and Qiu Ya.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We're colleagues."

That's what being intimate with Qi Luoan means. Filming kissing scenes can only be described as the skin of the lips touching, with subtle bioelectricity generated during the friction.

"You better be."

Although Qi Luoan can be stubborn, she is reasonable and her temper flares up quickly but also fades away just as fast. She says what she thinks and doesn't hold back.

Anyone who's lived a normal life knows how precious this quality is. If you encounter someone who's fine at the time, but starts bringing up old grievances during an argument, you'll become obedient.

While packing up and leaving the theater, Qi Luoan had already started discussing the trip with Yu Wei. The campus scenes for "Goodbye Mr. Loser" were set in Northeast China, and they would be leaving in a few days.

If Yu Wei remembers correctly, the original film was shot in Dalian, which can be considered as fate would have it.

You're right, but Northeast China is my hometown...

"You need to bring more clothes with you, it's cold there in winter." Qi Luoan was a native of Beijing, so he naturally knew what winter was like in the north.

She was having a great time when Yu Wei's question left her speechless.

Don't you guys have exams?

Qi Luoan has been hanging out with Yu Wei every day and has almost forgotten that she is a college student and still has to deal with exams at the end of the semester.

Because Yu Wei's popularity was so high that it seriously affected classroom order, the school made special arrangements for her: she could skip class, but she still had to take the exam.

Clearly, Qi Luoan had never read the book before, and it was time for him to start cramming.

However, this also means that she cannot slack off on set during subsequent filming, and she will not be able to stay with Yu Weidai.

"No!"

She had finally gotten used to living with Yu Wei, and she would feel uneasy if she suddenly couldn't see him. How could she accept that?
Nothing more to say, please get started quickly...

The good news is that she will finish her exams in a month. Given the current progress of the film, it should still be filming by then, so she can still make it to the wrap party.

I'm worried about you traveling alone.

Yu Wei didn't like hearing this. Before they were together, he always went out alone. What was there to worry about? Was he afraid that he would cheat on her?

"If you're worried, have your best friend keep an eye on me."

"Then I'm even more worried."

Qi Luo'an was just joking. In fact, she was quite at ease with Yu Wei in this regard. He was completely focused on writing novels and didn't have time to get involved in so many other things.

She was just worried that Yu Wei would run into trouble and have no one to help him. What would he do without her, his all-around little helper, by his side?

There's no rush. There's still some time before the crew departs, so I have plenty of time to prepare and also to kick off the competition for the third group.

Although the second group competition is not over yet, the situation is already very clear: the indigenous singer Xu Gaowen is in first place, and Chen Chen is in second place.

Lin Yuting is far behind, after all, she has only been in the industry for a short time. She is quite famous, but she doesn't have many core fans, and not many people vote for her.

However, as Yu Wei said, even if she doesn't advance, she will have plenty of opportunities. It doesn't matter if she is eliminated; she can just take it as a lesson learned.

As expected, Lin Yuting was eliminated on the second day when the results were tallied, ranking third. She even sent an apology voice message for the result.

The martial arts genre is indeed not very suitable for gentle female voices. Lin Yuting was going against the grain, so it's normal that she lost.

"Now you can tell me what the theme of the third group is, right?"

Qi Luoan was really curious whether the theme of the competition was a novel subject matter; he would have to wait and see how Yu Wei wrote it next.

"Don't rush, I know you're in a hurry."

Yu Wei simply showed her his draft, and next to the theme of the third round of the competition, it was clearly written: Myth.

So this time it's a mythological story, right?

Qi Luoan smiled knowingly. It seemed that Yu Wei was indeed using the novel's subject matter as the title. That reader was quite perceptive, able to discern this.

The third group of contestants is really unlucky to be given this question. How are they supposed to choose a song? Are they supposed to sing their own "Beautiful Myth"?

Wait, it seems like it might actually work...

The third group, the "Mandarin Ducks" pair, consists of Fei Hong and Zhou Mumu, plus a native character named Ke Zong.

"The Beautiful Myth" is perfect for a young couple to sing. If they both sing the exact same song in their competitions, Zhou Mumu's fans will probably be furious. Back then, when Yu Wei finished writing the script for "The Myth" in his novel, everyone on the internet was saying that it was tailor-made for Fei Hong and Zhou Mumu.

The movie didn't provide any concrete evidence, so Yu Wei decided not to act at all this time and instead used mythology as the theme for their pairing.

Shinhwa has very few songs; their most notable work in recent years is "Beautiful Myth," and it seems they have no other options besides that song.

They will not only select contestants, but they might also collaborate on a song. It would be quite amusing if two contestants performed the same song.

Even though the songs are the same, Zhou Mumu's fans can only grit their teeth and vote for their idol, which is quite interesting.

The most ingenious part is the "Cthulhu" character in the group. Cthulhu is Cthulhu, so the Cthulhu Mythos matches the topic perfectly.

Even if Zhou Mumu's fans want to cause trouble, a single mention of the Cthulhu Mythos will silence them.

We're talking about the Cthulhu Mythos. Who's persecuting you?
She can say both the truth and the sarcasm, which shows that she is good at both offense and defense. Yu Wei has dug a really ruthless trap, and after scheming against the fan circle, she herself is not even affected.

"You, you're absolutely wicked."

It's been so long since that native singer, Ke Zong, appeared. I didn't expect Yu Wei to have laid such a deep foreshadowing. Was this also within his expectations?

Mr. K handed out wedding candy!

"It's just a coincidence."

Yu Wei wrote that Ke Zong was just trying to get "Red Sun" instead, and didn't think too much about it at the time, but this grouping was indeed intentional.

Besides making the "myth" theme more believable and stimulating Zhou Mumu's fans, Yu Wei also had another idea in mind: the song selection this time.

"Myth & Love" is a classic Cantonese song, and Ke Zong also covered a very classic version called "Lovers in the World".

Although this song is also a martial arts theme song, it doesn't have many martial arts elements. Instead, the imagery of "the beginning of heaven and earth" is more suitable for a mythological theme.

CCTV also used this song as the theme song for Qixi Festival to reinforce its mythological narrative of "reunion after thousands of miles of Milky Way".

While setting traps for his haters, Yu Wei also chose a fitting song, and he couldn't help but hum it as he thought about it.

After checking for typos, Yu Wei waved his hand and officially released the new chapter.

The netizens and contestants knew he was going to release the third round of topics today, so they had been waiting for the update. The moment they saw the new chapter, they clicked on it almost at the same time.

The outcome of the previous round was already predetermined, so they flipped directly to the end of the chapter, only to be stunned when they saw the word "myth".

What kind of question is this?

Others might not know, but surely Yu Wei's long-time readers know? Isn't this the same movie script from before? How did it suddenly become a competition theme...?

"What a coincidence, it's these two again."

"The things that Fei Hongzhou, Mu Mu, and the myth must be discussed."

"So they're really planning to cast them in the movie? They're practically implying it in the competition."

Zhou Mumu's fans are also paying attention to the third round of the competition. When they saw the questions, they felt like the sky was falling and the myth was still chasing them.
They had almost forgotten about it, but the theme of the competition brought back painful memories.

Yu Wei is serious. He's made it so clear. What reason do they have not to believe him? Does Mu Mu really have to act as a couple with that ugly man?
Zhou Mumu's fans thought the matter was over, but they didn't expect Yu Wei to be so vengeful, relentlessly pursuing her and suddenly unleashing a series of smooth combos.

As soon as they complained that Yu Wei was petty and did it on purpose, someone in the comments section retorted that Mythology is clearly the counterpart of Kelp, so why are they in such a hurry?
Is that even possible...?

The final interpretation right belongs to the event organizer, and the key is that they can actually justify their own explanation, leaving them at a loss for what to do.

If they had known Yu Wei would be so difficult to deal with, they would never have formed a group against her. They had zero aggression but still got themselves into trouble, and now they can't shake her off.

What broke their defenses even more was that Fei Hong and Zhou Mumu actually planned to sing "Beautiful Myth".

There are already few songs with mythological themes, and this song is currently the most popular, which is advantageous for the competition. Moreover, this song is very timely.

After their last little act of "rebellion," they both realized that compromising wouldn't get them far in the entertainment industry; only resistance could.

Their last chorus of "The Answer" was the first shot in their struggle, and this chorus is the second shot that follows closely behind.

When the two of them came to ask if he could sing "Beautiful Myth", Yu Wei revealed a smile of triumph.

"of course."

It's not for commercial use, so he can just sing it directly. He's hoping this song will make his fans break down again, so he has no reason to refuse.

However, this song is quite difficult, and it remains to be seen whether they can master it in three days.

"Wait a minute, if they sing together, won't our CEO be fighting two against one?"

That's right. It seems like there are three people in this group, but two people sing one song, so it's like one against two.

Qi Luoan glanced at Yu Wei thoughtfully. This guy was good at taking on two people at once. It seemed the young couple on the other side were in for a rough time.

"This time it really isn't one against two."

Yu Wei looked back at her and said seriously, "It's two against two, so you have to come too."

"Lovers in the World" is originally a choral piece. He can imitate it, but the harmony and coordination are definitely better when sung by two people.

This song doesn't have many special singing techniques; you can just sing it directly. Qi Luoan is more than capable of handling the chorus.

"I?"

Qi Luoan never expected that she would be involved. If she joined in, it would indeed be a two-on-two fight.

Although she was happy to help Yu Wei, something felt off...

So, this time it's a case of young couples fighting?
