Chapter 477 The Conscience of the Entertainment Industry
Wei Yu handed the completed script to Director Xu.
Director Xu opened the first page, his brows furrowing slightly; when he had read a third of the way, his hand, which was lighting a cigarette, froze in mid-air; by the time he turned to the last page, a long ash had accumulated on it.
Only then did he notice the words "based on true events," and his eyes grew even more eager.
"It will succeed."
Director Tsui stated unequivocally, "Because every word speaks for those who cannot speak, this film will change some things."
On the script cover, the four characters "I Am Not a Medicine God" gleamed faintly under the desk lamp.
The release of Yu Wei's new novel chapter caused a huge stir. Everyone was looking forward to the new work, but no one expected it to come so soon.
However, the title of this film... to be honest, no one really understood what story it was about. It has a "god" in it, so how could it be based on a true story?
"Isn't Yu Wei overhyping things, making a prediction in the plot that this film will definitely be a success?"
"Yu Wei is only qualified to say this now, considering how hugely successful 'Goodbye Mr. Loser' has become."
"Putting this in my eye, looking forward to it."
"I am not a medicine god, those are just four words, right? Trying to trick people into commenting again."
While readers were certainly excited, the discussion remained at the level of discussion; the truly anxious ones were others.
As soon as the title was revealed, the film and television companies that were always paying attention to Yu Wei took action. Even though there was no script yet, they all called the studio at the same time.
They weren't to blame for missing opportunities the previous times, but this time, letting a sure thing slip away is their problem.
While "Goodbye Mr. Loser" is still showing in theaters, Yu Wei's works are already a golden brand, making them a worthy priority project.
What they valued most was Yu Wei's own evaluation of the film.
Despite his energetic and charismatic personality, this guy always maintains a low profile when showcasing his works in his novels, and his evaluations of even the best works are rather conservative.
Everyone understands what he means: on the one hand, he's being humble, and on the other hand, he's lowering everyone's expectations so he won't be proven wrong later.
The movie "Goodbye Mr. Loser" is now so popular, but it was originally praised as a comedy film with "highlights" in Yu Wei's novel.
Many netizens believed this and didn't have high expectations for the film until they went to the cinema and found out that Yu Wei hadn't told a single truth.
You call such a brilliant film "highlights"?
Given Yu Wei's conservative self-assessment, his view that "Dying to Survive" is "definitely going to succeed" speaks volumes.
Clearly, this is an excellent film that even Yu Wei himself is very confident in. Now that he's said this much, anyone who hesitates is a fool.
The directors of the film and television companies were extremely anxious, fearing that someone else would snatch the script first. The actors were also busy, sending private messages to Yu Wei one after another.
The answer is always the same: "Congratulations on the movie's great success." A response is essential before anything else can begin...
Yu Wei was so bothered by these colleagues that he simply finished exchanging his work, threw his phone aside, and went to write a script.
"It's one thing for friends to ask, but for someone who just added you as a friend to ask? Don't they feel embarrassed?"
Adding them as friends now? Anyone would know what they're after. Is it really necessary to be so deliberate?
"Opportunity is reserved for shameless people."
Qi Luoan casually complained, but there was no derogatory meaning to his words. If you want to improve, you have to be willing to go all out. What does shame matter?
Those who fawn over their superiors, don't they realize they're doing it on purpose? Everyone becomes the kind of person they hate. Yu Wei nodded. Actually, if you put yourself in their shoes, they haven't done anything wrong. It's hard to make it in the entertainment industry; who wouldn't want an opportunity?
Compared to other arenas of fame and fortune based on capital and connections, his platform is truly the most suitable for his peers to stand out.
At least in Yu Wei's hands, talent can truly lead to fame; in other places, that's another story...
He doesn't care about background, seniority, or engage in any underhanded tactics. For many people in the entertainment industry who want to become famous, being shameless once is worth it!
"You are the conscience of our entertainment industry."
Listening to Qi Luoan's teasing, Yu Wei was inexplicably moved. This was exactly what the movie "Dying to Survive" said: They just wanted to live, what did they do wrong?
In a sense, Yu Wei and Cheng Yong, the protagonist of "Dying to Survive," are quite similar. They both wanted to start a small business, but ended up becoming lifelines for many people.
In the entertainment industry, those artists who are sidelined or struggling are like patients in a movie, and their own work is the fairest medicine they can access...
Thinking about this, Yu Wei, who was writing the script, felt particularly complicated. He didn't have the same sense of responsibility as the protagonist Cheng Yong, but he could still do what he could.
"Let's hold an open casting call for this movie."
The popularity of "Goodbye Mr. Loser" and the benefits derived from its characters are enough for fans to digest for a while; too much of this is as bad as too little.
The big screen also needs some freshness. If it's always the same group of familiar faces, the audience will get tired of it. It's time to change the cast and crew.
Since so many actors have high hopes for his work, let's give them a chance this time!
The essence of the film "Dying to Survive" is to help all people and benefit the world. Off-screen, Yu Wei should also demonstrate his sense of responsibility.
However, Yu Wei doesn't sell medicine; he's an actor, so could his film be called "I'm Not an Actor..."?
Oh, the book next door, I won't talk about it.
Qi Luoan praised his decision, saying that this was the kind of vision that the top figure in the Chinese entertainment industry should have. He should be able to help his peers when necessary and support them when appropriate. Everyone is Yu Wei's supporter.
Perhaps having personally experienced and grasped the spirit of the "Medicine God," Yu Wei's typing speed became incredibly fast, and he finished the entire story without even realizing it.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief after typing the words "The End"...
Before he could even organize the script, Qi Luo'an snatched the notebook away, eager to see what this mythical story of the "Compassionate Medicine King" was all about.
However, the relaxed smile on her face soon disappeared, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.
Qi Luoan's intervals between clicking the mouse grew longer and longer, his finger lingered on the scroll wheel, and finally stopped completely.
The true story, the painful price, the struggle between law and human sentiment, and the suffering forged by the will to survive, seeped through the screen inch by inch.
When she first saw the name "Cheng Yong," it was just a symbol, but later it weighed heavily on the rhythm of her breathing.
After reading the entire story, Qi Luoan remained silent, only turning his head to stare at Yu Wei with a serious expression, clearly showing some dissatisfaction.
Is this the myth you were talking about?
But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she didn't know what to say. It seemed that the protagonist in the movie truly deserved the title of "Medicine God."
She seemed to understand why Yu Wei had such high hopes for this film; just reading the script, she could already feel its immense power.
"I hope my dad will act like a human being..."
Such a good script, to ruin it would be a sin deserving of death. (End of Chapter)
