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

"Thank you, Director Yu. This can be considered as me personally participating in the promotion of the film."

The next day during filming, Zhao Jingming praised Yu Wei for the work she had done the day before. A small still from the film directly sparked a huge buzz for the movie.

The movie became a hit even before its release, and Yu Wei is definitely the biggest contributor to that success.

"It should, it should..."

Yu Wei should thank the stills for drawing attention to him; it just goes to show how effective the fake death tactic is.

His scenes in "Kung Fu Jungle" have been completed, and now he only comes to the set to provide guidance. When the action scenes deviate too much from the original work, he will come out and give a few pointers.

However, Zhao Jingming is a martial arts actor by training, and his professionalism is strong. Many of his designs coincide with the original film, so Yu Wei doesn't need to speak frequently.

He was happy to be a hands-off manager, and with the free time here, he thought about starting a new project and creating a new script.

I haven't decided on the specifics yet, but if nothing unexpected happens, it should be a TV series. If I want to establish myself in the film and television industry, the words "film and television" are indispensable.

"Looks like I'll have to ask everyone in the new chapter at noon."

Sending out a poll to let everyone choose is a good idea, but his readers are somewhat unpredictable, so who knows what kind of weird stuff they might vote for.

Just as he was slacking off while typing away, a loud bang came from the chat group: Fei Hong and Zhou Mumu, who had participated in the audition for "The Myth," had returned.

Although the results haven't come out yet, based on their performance, the two of them can already guess most of the outcome.

Fei Hong is a clear winner among the male leads. He has excellent acting skills and a background in martial arts. This movie doesn't even need a handsome male lead; it's practically tailor-made for him.

However, Zhou Mumu's audition was not so smooth. There may be nothing else in the entertainment industry, but there are still too many beautiful actresses.

The female lead in "The Myth" doesn't need anything else, just to be beautiful, preferably the kind of beauty that could topple kingdoms.

According to Zhou Mumu herself, nine out of ten actresses in the audition for the lead role were beautiful, and one was exceptionally beautiful, so she didn't have much of an advantage.

This movie was her lifeline and a chance to turn her career around. If she hadn't been chosen, her star career would probably have been in a slump for several more years.

Actually, Zhou Mumu is not bad-looking, she just lacks confidence.

LuLuWuwei: [Don't worry, Fei Hong's selection is a sure thing. They'll even choose you to promote your pairing.]
The Myth is also a romance film, so creating on-screen couples is definitely a crucial part. Now that there are already ready-made couples, it's much easier to just choose one.
Mutouren: [I'm still in the eye of the storm. If it's officially announced that I'm the lead, all those fans who left the fandom will definitely go to the official Weibo comment section to sigh...]
Zhou Mumu also has her own concerns. Choosing the two of them brings popularity, but there are also negative impacts. If the production company values ​​its reputation, there is a high possibility that they will replace her.

That's what she's most worried about right now; there are plenty of people who can replace her.

This is An Shilei: [Don't overthink it. Everyone thinks this movie was tailor-made for the two of you. It wouldn't be right not to choose you.]
[It's not that I'm overthinking it.]
Yu Wei joined the conversation at the right time. It wasn't that he was trying to discourage everyone, but based on their descriptions, the possibility of Zhou Mumu being eliminated was quite high.

Although everyone has been saying that the movie was tailor-made for the two of them, this is ultimately just a rumor and not very convincing.

Even if someone wants to ride this wave of popularity, choosing Fei Hong would be the same; having a key figure in the mix would still allow them to capitalize on the hype.

Moreover, Fei Hong is a contracted artist with Yu Wei's studio, so choosing Fei Hong would not offend Yu Wei, the screenwriter.

Movies these days are really afraid of being attacked. Some haters will bite and won't let go, throwing mud everywhere. Unsuspecting passersby are easily swayed, causing the movie's reputation to collapse.

Clearly, Zhou Mumu's former toxic fans perfectly fit this image, and for the film and television company, it's better to avoid trouble.

If there weren't many competitors, it would be fine, but now that there are so many alternatives, it feels like Mumu has really gone too far...

Yu Wei's words served as a wake-up call for everyone in the group. For film companies, making money is the top priority; replacing an actress wouldn't cost them much more, and they'd at least get less criticism. That was the situation. No one knew how to comfort them. If she wasn't selected this time, their pledge would be completely broken, and one wrong move could have far-reaching consequences.

Wong Fei-hung: [If Mu Mu doesn't get selected, I won't act either.]
Fei Hong's words completely froze the atmosphere, giving off a "I won't live alone" vibe. What a perfect pair...

[Let me think of a way.]
Yu Wei, who was spying on the screen, suddenly had an idea. He was just wondering what kind of TV drama script to write, and this was just a perfect opportunity presented to him.

When he wrote the movie "The Myth", it was actually to lead to the TV series script. Compared to the conventional movie, although the main character of this TV series was criticized, the rest of the series was really good.

Especially Gao Yao, the second male lead and villain, has several scenes that could easily be included in the Beijing Film Academy's teaching materials.

This script doesn't even require any additional exchange, and it can be arranged without affecting the novel's plot progress, making it a really good choice.

This is my first time writing a TV drama script, so I'll treat it as an experiment and start with "The Myth" to test the waters.

After deciding to write this, Yu Wei directly contacted Sister Liu and the film and television company, saying that he had a TV series with the same name and asked if they were interested.

Making TV dramas requires experience. It's better to collaborate for the first time. The company that bought the movie "The Myth" is a good example; they've also produced many hit period dramas.

A movie on its own is just a movie, but two works with the same name, plus a few songs, become an IP, and they have no reason not to be interested.

When he came to their door at this time, the other party could probably guess his purpose; he was clearly there to sow discord between Zhou Mumu and his family.

Changing the female lead won't affect their ability to make money, but if they don't change her, they can find a new way to earn money.

Whether to change or not depends on their weighing of the options. These days, how can making money from a movie be as quick as making money from a TV series?
Sure enough, a few hours later, Xianjing Film and Television gave a cryptic reply: as long as the script is good, everything is negotiable.

No matter the era, a good script will always be in demand. The other party didn't rule out anything, so let's at least see what Yu Wei's script is like.

There's hope if there's talk, but wanting to see the whole script is a waste of time. Of course, he's not necessarily the one who's wasted time...

Qiluo eucalyptus, start!

After raising a typing assistant for a thousand days, you only need to use it for a short time. It just so happens that he can't type on set, so having a remote typing assistant is perfect.

"You don't want me to fall asleep the moment my head hits the pillow from exhaustion from writing, do you?"

"?"

Yu Wei was good at ordering people around, and right from the start, he offered Qi Luoan a condition that she couldn't refuse. Falling asleep as soon as her head hit the bed was definitely not an option.

In order to ensure that Yu Wei has plenty of energy, she has no choice but to compromise herself...

The scriptwriting work began quickly, but while telling Qi Luoan the story, Yu Wei couldn't help but recall the entire story of the TV series "The Myth".

This drama is great in every way, except that the main character, Yi Xiaochuan, is too much of a target of criticism. No actor with good audience appeal can handle this role.

Among them, Yu Wei himself is definitely the most popular with the general public, but he really can't muster any interest in a character like Yi Xiaochuan who doesn't have much of a backstory.

Being able to handle it doesn't mean he wants to. Who wants to be scolded when they have nothing better to do?

"I've got it! Let my brother-in-law do it. Isn't he the legendary stress-resistant king?" (End of Chapter)
