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

Chapter 36 The production team's move was too ruthless.
Good acting skills do not necessarily mean good acting.

This sounds like a conflict between the left and right brain, but Yu Wei gained a profound understanding of it during filming...

He perfectly mastered the acting skills of the male lead in "Andhadhun", but in the process of performing, he only managed to resemble him, far from the level of "being himself".

The real classic films and television shows are those where you can't feel any acting; it's as if the characters themselves are there.

Ultimately, art is human art. No matter how many numerical values ​​or experience points the system assigns to an artist, true mastery still requires the artist to experience it firsthand.

However, for Yu Wei now, superb skills are enough; true emotional resonance and soul-infusing still need to be achieved step by step.

Furthermore, actors don't need to resonate with every character, or they'll go crazy sooner or later...

Yu Wei's performance greatly surprised Qi Luoan and the others. After all, he couldn't even act properly in the music video just two days ago, but during the filming of the short film, he was even able to reverse the roles and instruct others on how to act.

Rather than progress, this feels more like being under a spell.

Although filming "The Tuner" was more difficult than filming a music video, the whole process went much more smoothly because Yu Wei-ke performed as a stand-in.

No one understood the logic behind this, and could only temporarily interpret it as "screenwriter's advantage," since he was the one who wrote the script, and perhaps the creator had a deeper understanding of the character...

In the final scene, Yu Wei plays the piano naked, pretending to be completely unaware of the danger behind him. He knows he shouldn't move his eyes or reveal the slightest visual trace.

But the instinct for fear is so powerful that those eyes, which were pretending to be blind, were fixed on the eerie and terrifying image reflected in the light.

In the mirror, Qi Luoan's figure was silently approaching him step by step, her eyes empty yet sharp, fixed on the back of Yu Wei's lowered head.

"Crack!"

The moment filming officially wrapped, Yu Wei finally relaxed, and her whole body even went limp.

Even if he only projected a little of that feeling, he could still sense the overwhelming fear. Mainly, Qi Luo'an's eyes were too fierce; it didn't seem like acting…

Should authors who fail at writing deserve to die?
"I didn't notice while we were filming, but you have abs?"

Qi Luoan fiddled with her hair, her eyes casually glancing down. She wasn't really interested in it, but she just happened to notice it.

"There are still some available for now."

Although Yu Wei, as a trainee, is not good at anything, he is physically fit and exercises whenever he has free time.

However, after becoming an online novelist, he'll probably never be able to exercise again; it's only a matter of time before he turns back into a homebody...

Anyway, all of Yu Wei's colleagues, big and small, have some occupational diseases. Judging from the health index and disease rate, being an author is even a high-risk profession.

After filming of "The Tuner" was completed, what remained was the long post-production and editing stage, during which Yu Wei could not help but continue to follow up and offer suggestions.

It's difficult to achieve perfection in this kind of thing, but he still hopes to get as close as possible to the original work...

Lu Zhou and Zhang Lingye originally wanted to hold a wrap party, but Yu Wei and Qi Luoan both declined, as they were busy.

In recent days, due to filming, the pacing of Yu Wei's novel has been extremely slow, which is a devastating blow to an entertainment novel.

He dares not speak for other genres, but the pace of entertainment must not be slow. Even in slice-of-life stories, the protagonist cannot stagnate.

Yu Wei has already decided what to write this time. "I Am a Singer-Songwriter" is a music competition that focuses on original works. Rather than a head-to-head competition, it actually emphasizes the collision of inspiration.

There is no standard answer to what constitutes good original music. The program is a process of exploration, and Wei Yu will gain a deeper understanding of the scoring system.

Which is more important, lyrics or melody? How to balance pleasing to the ear and artistry? Which is superior, technique or emotion?

Artworks are not simply good or bad, masterpieces or rubbish. Scores are just one reference, and the protagonist should also have a more comprehensive understanding.

"Everyone says I plagiarize and use clickbait titles, right? Well, this time I'm actually plagiarizing."

He plans to return to the traditional plagiarism style this time, directly writing popular works from Blue Star, but instead of having the main character sing them, he'll have other contestants sing them.

As for Wei Yu, he still sang songs about Earth. The readers here are probably more familiar with the other guests' songs, so they'll wonder how Wei Yu will respond. Well, then Wei Yu sings a song no one has ever heard before.

In typical plagiarism novels, the main characters are copied from existing works, while the supporting characters are made up as they please. This time, however, he reversed the roles, using existing songs for the supporting characters, while the main characters continue to "make up" their own stories...

If an entertainment novel were written like that, it would be a huge flaw, but he's different; he actually has songs to offer, and he has a lot of choices.

"I can't choose songs that are too classic to write about, otherwise it's easy to cause controversy."

Yu Wei wouldn't randomly try to pick a fight; he knew how to tailor his attack to the situation. He planned to pick some popular internet songs that already had mixed reviews or even plagiarized content, and then deliver a severe blow!
As long as his work is of high quality, he will continue to have smooth sailing off the field.

Yu Weizhen wasn't acting on a whim; he had been thinking about why his novel had flopped so badly while filming these past few days.

His lack of skill is one thing, but on the other hand, his book lacks a sense of immersion.

The appeal of entertainment novels lies in their ability to immerse the reader. Whether it's Chinese entertainment or plagiarism, it's essentially a form of cultural identification and recognition of excellent works.

However, his article "Why Do Celebrities Always Care About Ratings?" doesn't, because the protagonist's song is essentially an original, making it difficult for people to directly relate to it.

If Yu Wei included songs from real life in his writing, it would be a different story. Readers would see it and think, "Hey, this song is indeed just average, but it's not something just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can beat. I'd like to see how you manage to win..."

Only when readers feel immersed in the story will they look forward to the subsequent plot. When they find out, they'll be like, "Wow, Wei Yu is actually going head-to-head with the entertainment industry!"

"Everyone will soon find out that I wrote the book."

Readers thought it was a coincidence when "The Wall of the Heart" was released, but with the seventh episode of "HELLO Roommate" about to air, everyone will definitely understand after listening to "Hear the Sound of Rain".

The show will air its sixth episode tonight, which is the episode that was filmed a week before Yu Wei's recording. After this episode ends, the preview for the next episode will be released.

After finishing his writing, Yu Wei had nothing to do, so he simply turned on the live comments and took a look.

The theme of the sixth episode was "losing money". Coconut Milk accidentally tore the sofa in the cabin, and then the landlord, Teacher Zhong, made them collectively pay for the damage, which was ten game coins.

The next part was the usual variety show routine of completing tasks. The six of them worked hard to earn money, and it took them a whole week.

"No wonder they were so distressed when they heard about collecting rent the day I arrived...it turns out they were squeezed dry in the previous period."

Yu Wei thought he would only appear in the preview, but he appeared at the end of the show.

The sun was shining brightly and the breeze was gentle. He knocked on the door of the small house and met Tong Yulu's bewildered eyes. The sixth episode then came to an abrupt end with his arrival.

The show's producers are quite professional at leaving clues; they're on par with online novel authors.

Yu Weizheng was joking with the production team, but the trailer for the seventh episode hit him hard, starting with a scene of him typing in his room.

Then the scene changes, showing a shot of other people working, and then cuts back to give a close-up of him typing in the room.

After switching back and forth several times, the screen was filled with question marks. Why was Yu Wei typing all the time, no matter how the scenes changed for everyone else?
Yu Wei didn't expect to be on camera so much, and without exception, all of them showed him typing in his room.

The comparison footage lasted for a full minute, creating a truly entertaining show. Viewers were completely bewildered – was this guy on TV writing a thesis?

Before they could react, the last scene of the trailer took a sudden turn, showing Yu Wei playing guitar and singing for the other guests.

Then the show announced the theme of the seventh episode: How is a song born?

Clearly, the production team intends to present the seventh episode from Yu Wei's perspective, since he is indeed the core of this episode in terms of content.

This trailer is full of highlights. It uses a one-minute-long comparison shot to show Yu Wei's "unconventional" style, and only at the end does it point out that he is creating.

The program title seems to be asking how a song is born, so is Yu Wei writing songs by typing away in front of the computer?

This trailer has not only piqued the curiosity of the audience about what he's doing, but Yu Wei himself wants to watch it again.

"The production team's move is too ruthless; are they using me as a comma?"
