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

"The pressure is a bit much."

Qi Yunming didn't expect things to develop this way. When the movie was first released, people thought "Goodbye Mr. Loser" was a good movie with some flaws, but the trend changed so quickly.

He even boasted on the phone that he would definitely make an even more exciting film next time he collaborated with Yu Wei.

Now it has suddenly become a masterpiece, what should he do? He set the bar too high, what if he can't keep up with the next one?
This was a huge success, and Yu Wei practically wrote, directed, and acted in it all himself. If he gets involved next time, and his reputation suffers instead of improving, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Yu Weike really gave him a big problem.

In fact, Yu Wei himself did not expect that "Goodbye Mr. Loser" would become a masterpiece, after all, the original film had mixed reviews.

The success of a film depends on a combination of favorable timing, location, and people. With the same content, he benefited from the information gap, which led to higher praise.

The abundance of original music is a significant plus, and the unusual open ending transforms the film, making Yu Wei a lucky break.

It has to be said that luck played a big part in this, so it's not really a reliable indicator; he just considered it an unexpected bonus.

Although somewhat unexpected, the huge success of "Goodbye Mr. Loser" is undeniable, achieving both box office and critical acclaim, and creating an industry legend.

Through this film, people in the film industry have finally realized that if a movie appears in Yu Wei's novel, it's a must-buy!

In the past, people paid attention to the movies he wrote because of his "celebrity effect," thinking only that the movies would generate buzz, without having high expectations for their quality.

But "Goodbye Mr. Loser" dealt them a heavy blow. Yu Wei's films not only have their own popularity, but their quality is also beyond doubt.

Thinking about this, many film and television companies felt extremely regretful, wishing they had acquired "Kung Fu Jungle" and "The Myth" at higher prices back then...

The only crew that made two films were all smiles. They had good judgment. The success of "Goodbye Mr. Loser" gave them a lot of motivation, and they were just waiting to make a name for themselves with this film!

Even Gu Ningyue, who had some reservations about Yu Wei, was secretly delighted. Although she had suffered a loss, being able to participate in Yu Wei's work was a good thing.

From now on, I won't care about any old or new grudges. I'll just go to the audition for Yu Wei's script. You can't go wrong with that!
Many people share the same idea as Gu Ningyue. They may not be able to compete with Yu Wei's songs, but they have plenty of roles in film and television works and opportunities.

It would be great to get a lead role, but even if you don't, you can still get some recognition in a good production. Why not?
The actors took this very seriously, and the film companies were no less determined. They had already missed out on the previous films, and they couldn't let the next one slip away...

It's said that competitors are enemies, but Yu Wei is just a screenwriter. Before they become enemies, he can still try his best to win her over.

As a result, Yu Wei's next film was already being eyed by directors and actors before it was even filmed. No matter what the subject matter was, they would immediately start working on it without explanation!
"I feel like your next script is going to fetch an astronomical price."

The scripts for the previous few films were not much more expensive than the market price, but now, screenwriter Yu Wei's value has soared, and the difference is naturally incomparable.

Although everyone says the industry is doomed, good works will never lack a market. Whether you want to make money, gain fame, promote someone, or compete for awards, Yu Wei's scripts are the best choice.

"Don't act like a money-grubber."

Yu Wei slapped Qi Luoan's thigh with his backhand, "Didn't we agree that the next script was for Lao Qi?"

They were both there when the phone call was made. Although Yu Wei was a little flustered, she remembered clearly that her own daughter was already thinking about selling her for money.

If you have a good script, you should naturally keep it for your own people; you can't just sell it off like that.
"I'm just afraid of losing my job."

Qi Luoan's opinion on his father remains to be seen; after more than a decade of poisoning, Old Qi is already terminally ill.

The success of "Goodbye Mr. Loser" has little to do with him; who knows if he has truly recovered?
"Don't panic, I'm here for you."

To be honest, Yu Wei wasn't very confident in Lao Qi's directing skills either, but at least he was easy to talk to and didn't put on airs. It didn't matter who directed the film; who knew how it would turn out if sold to someone else? Although Lao Qi was unreliable, he was willing to listen to advice.

If it were any other famous director or top company, they might not be able to let him have his way. When it comes to collaboration, understanding and cooperation are the most important things.

"Have you decided what to film?"

Yu Wei nodded thoughtfully.

"Goodbye Mr. Loser" is a comedy, "Kung Fu Jungle" is a kung fu film, and "The Myth" is a period romance.

So far, his three films have been very different in style, but the themes don't seem to be very serious. He wants to make an art film.

After all, Lao Qi's early masterpiece was a realist film, which is his comfort zone, and he should be able to unleash his full potential there.

Yu Wei didn't delay and immediately started writing after having an idea.

In the novel, this competition didn't attract much attention. Since the Sakura singer didn't participate this time, he didn't have much to write about, so it was a good opportunity to start a new story.

Qi Luoan watched from the sidelines with nothing to do. She was already used to Yu Wei's writing style and could ignore any flaws.

It wasn't until Yu Wei revealed the title of his new film that she let out a rare "Huh?": "Dying to Survive." Was he switching to cultivating immortality...?

"What's this movie about?"

Yu Wei stopped typing. She hadn't seen the movie before and just looking at the title, she really didn't understand the plot. If she didn't know, she might think it was a mythological story.

"It tells the story of Sun Simiao, the Medicine King, traveling among the people to save all living beings."

"Oh."

The two were characterized by one daring to speak and the other daring to believe, which sounded a bit outrageous, but Qi Luoan chose to believe.

Yu Wei must have had a deeper meaning in doing this...

You'll see when the time comes.

Yu Wei didn't explain much. Only by watching the whole story can one understand the meaning of the title. A film with a realistic theme cannot be explained in a few words. You have to watch it to understand.

"Dying to Survive" is undoubtedly a powerful realist film that has generated a huge social impact in the film industry.

With its solid script, sincere performances, and profound social issues, the film achieved both box office and critical success.

Most importantly, this film directly raised public awareness of the issue of high-priced drugs and, to some extent, promoted the adjustment and improvement of relevant national pharmaceutical policies.

Yu Wei did not seek to replicate the success of the original work; his original intention was to help Lao Qi create a truly good film.

Although "Dying to Survive" is an art film, it has many memorable scenes, so it should have no problem becoming a hit.

While writing, Yu Wei considered the casting of the film. He definitely couldn't do everything himself for this film, so he had to find a few reliable actors with good acting skills.
