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

"died?"

Qi Luo'an stopped typing, his face filled with disbelief. "Wasn't she the female lead? She just died like that?"

When she finished writing the script for the first few episodes of "The Myth", she thought Lü Su was the female lead, but she died suddenly, which was rather unexpected.

"Could it be that he can be resurrected?"

Since there's already a time-travel element, adding a resurrection element wouldn't be too much to ask, right?

She thought this to herself, and then the next second Yu Wei said that in order to prevent the spread of the plague, Lü Su's body should be burned.

"No."

With the corpse gone, resurrection was clearly out of the question. Qi Luoan, being knowledgeable, quickly understood the problem.

Lü Su is clearly not the female lead, and her sudden disappearance is obviously making way for the real female lead...

"That doesn't make sense. There's a certain appeal between a playboy and an innocent little rabbit."

From a viewer's perspective, Qi Luoan couldn't think of a better female lead character.

If all else fails, we could have Yi Xiaochuan's modern-day girlfriend appear in the Qin Dynasty as his counterpart; a cross-time couple would be quite appealing.

"What are you guessing?" Yu Wei still had to remind her a little, "They're all from the same IP, the TV series and the movie are pretty much the same."

"?"

Qi Luoan was completely dumbfounded. She had also written the script for the movie, so she naturally remembered clearly that the male and female leads of the movie were Meng Yi and Yu Shu.

She wrote eight episodes of the script and never saw those two names, so she never even considered that possibility. It turns out they were the male and female leads.

It can only be said that Yu Wei has a lot of tricks up his sleeve; he can write two stories with the same team.

Although she acknowledged Yu Wei's creative abilities, she still couldn't hold back when writing about how Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao were betrayed by Liu Bang.

Everyone says Liu Bang was no good, yet he still tried to curry favor with him. Now look what happened; it's a pity for Gao Yao, as he also got himself involved. It's truly a tragic situation.

Yu Wei was too embarrassed to tell her that things were going to get even worse...

While recounting the plot to Qi Luoan, Yu Wei himself was also busy. In order to quickly change the song, he asked Ji Jian to sing one of his works to Shen Yutong.

This song is for someone else to sing, not for him, so Shen Yutong still needs to put in some practice. The sooner he changes, the sooner he can adapt.

Upon seeing the "mentor bestows a treasure" plot, many netizens exclaimed: Who is Ji Jian?

In Yu Wei's novel, there are at least a dozen or so local singers, if not twenty. Singers like Brother Jian, who don't appear often and don't have any signature songs, are naturally hard to remember.

Readers with good memories are no strangers to him. Although he has never performed on stage, the amazing song "Legend" performed on the Spring Festival Gala stage is his work.

This person is clearly a singer-songwriter, and his songs are bound to be good. Investing in him now is a sure thing!
While readers were discussing it enthusiastically, Shen Yutong, the person involved, was already getting impatient.

If Yu Wei were to sing for her out of the blue, she definitely wouldn't accept it. She came to the competition to learn, not simply to win.

But this person's songs were different. After all, he was a teacher in name only, and she still wanted to learn something. Moreover, the song "Legend" really suited her taste.

Shen Yutong is even somewhat obsessed with songs that match her aesthetic. Her anxiety about "Peach Blossom Promise" is a good example. With the competition approaching, she is only more anxious.

In the novel, she had already started practicing, but in reality, she didn't even know the song title. Yu Wei is quite good at hiding things.

[Please help me expedite it.]
She casually asked her best friend to find out what was going on, but Qi Luoan replied very quickly: she was right next to Yu Wei watching him compose the music and it would be finished soon.

[Now?]
Shen Yutong glanced at the time; it was 10:55 PM. She didn't dare to think about what might happen if the two of them were together at this hour.

Although she already knew that An'an had gone to live with Yu Wei, she was too embarrassed to think about it.

However, when this topic was brought to the forefront, she had to consider the seriousness of the situation; her best friend might not be the same as she used to be...

While she was scrolling through videos on her phone late at night, the person in question might be doing freestyle fighting. Just thinking about this made Shen Yutong, who has a serious personality, blush slightly.

Just as she was lost in thought, Yu Wei sent her the sheet music he had just edited. The song was called "The Wind Blows Through the Wheat Fields," and anyone who didn't know it might think it was a folk song.

Shen Yutong quickly adjusted her mindset and began to study the poetic aspects of the song.

Like "Legend," this song's aesthetic of "leaving blank space" is quite outstanding. This kind of blank space is precisely the spirit of classical poetry, which is "not a word is written, yet the charm is fully expressed."

All the unspoken parts become containers for emotional resonance. What amazed her most was the long humming section in the middle, with nearly a third of the piece using wordless chanting instead of narration, like the flying white strokes in a traditional Chinese painting, allowing listeners to insert their own stories between the melodies.

The highest form of beauty is often hidden in the simplest form, and Shen Yutong has come to realize this once again.

Poetic quality is not the so-called piling up of classical words, but the natural texture of emotions. Yu Weizhen found her a good teacher.

After detaching herself from the song appreciation, Shen Yutong subconsciously recalled their situation, and images flashed through her mind...

At this moment, Yu Wei and Qi Luoan were discussing the casting of "The Myth". This drama was a collaboration, not a buyout, so they still had considerable say.

It's fine for Yi Xiaochuan to let Qi Yuan "get scolded," but other characters should also have a reference point.

“I suggest that Sister Xiaolu play Lü Su. She’s one of the few likable female characters in the show, so we should give her one of our own.”

The studio's contracted artists naturally deserve special attention, and Yu Wei nodded in agreement. Lü Su is quite popular, so it's worth the role.

"Let Zhang Lingye play Xiang Yu."

Lao Zhang is the only one among them who takes the cool and handsome route. It's an honor for him to play Xiang Yu. Although this drama is based on unofficial history, the character of Xiang Yu is very classic and can be ranked among the top in film history of Xiang Yu.

Since Yi Xiaochuan and Xiang Yu are brothers in the original story, let's have them continue their brotherhood in the Qin Dynasty.

"Then, what about Gao Yao?"

Qi Luoan had just finished writing the plot about Gao Yao becoming a eunuch, and felt complicated. As a younger sister herself, she naturally understood how rare it was to have a good older brother like Gao Yao.

He was incredibly unlucky to have met the male lead.

This character is quite complex, and there's a very classic dark turn in the later stages, which a young actor definitely couldn't handle.

After much deliberation, Yu Wei finally thought of someone: Lin Puyan, who was also a veteran actor and whose acting skills in the Spring Festival Gala sketches were quite impressive.

With a little more polishing, he'll be perfectly capable of playing Gao Yao.

In the friendly match, Yu Wei brought people over as a gimmick, and then lost to them. That was really not very fair. Assigning him a heavyweight role would be a good compensation.

With this in mind, Yu Wei no longer hesitated and sent an invitation to Lin Puyan directly.

"You tricked me again, get lost!"

Yu Wei said the same thing last time. He asked Yu Wei for a favor, and Yu Wei kindly went to help him, but Yu Wei ended up hanging him up and beating him. Isn't that bullying an honest person?

"No, no, this is acting, a film contract."

Upon hearing that it was a film shoot, Lin Puyan lowered his guard. Yu Wei could indeed control him in the music field, but not in acting.

When he was playing a young, handsome man in ancient Chinese style, Yu Wei was probably still playing in the mud somewhere...

"Is this character faking it?"

Lin Puyan takes on roles based primarily on the character's prestige, not the amount of screen time. If it's the most arrogant character in the entire series, he'll accept working for free.

"This is too pretentious. He's practically the protagonist template. He starts out as a nobody, struggling in the marketplace, his life as fragile as duckweed. In the end, he rises to the top and wields absolute power, enjoying the pleasures of love and revenge and turning the world upside down."

Upon hearing this, Lin Puyan's eyes lit up. Such a good thing?

Simply showing off is meaningless; what's truly satisfying is this underdog's rise to power, especially when it's a major villain. From ants to wolves, how wonderful!
He took the job.

"You finally remembered me when something good happened."

Lin Puyan couldn't stop smiling. "You just said someone who wielded immense power. That's a historical drama character, right?"

He started out playing ancient-style young men, so this role is practically tailor-made for him.

"Yes, Zhao Gao."

"?"

Zhao Gao, wasn't he a eunuch? ...He didn't even have a penis, what kind of pleasure was that!

"You tricked me again?" (End of Chapter)
