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

Chapter 93 Going out to gather materials is really useful

"I heard you attained enlightenment at the stadium?"

When Tong Yulu encountered Yu Wei at the food pick-up area, she resembled a fledgling bird shivering in the cold. The zipper of her white tracksuit reached all the way to her chin, completely covering her gymnastics leotard.

"The news spread so fast?"

Yu Wei scooped three spoonfuls of rice into the plate, somewhat amazed by her surfing speed. She thought that her family should hire a master to help her come up with the idea of ​​enlightenment in a stadium.

Those who didn't know better might think he was so engrossed in running laps that he lost himself in the process, achieving enlightenment through simplification and emptiness...

"How could it not be fast? Something this outrageous will spread easily." Tong Yulu picked up a bunch of blanched broccoli, dipped it in a little soy sauce, and said, "You're good at showing off, running and creating at the same time."

It's normal to let your mind wander and daydream while exercising; inspiration can come unexpectedly. But talking about it while walking is just too childish.

If someone in life suddenly starts talking to themselves and saying strange things while walking, there's no doubt that this person either has something real to offer or is just a complete show-off...

Netizens tend to believe that Yu Wei is the former, since he wasn't just talking to himself; there was clearly someone on the other end of the phone helping to record it. All signs indicate that this was indeed a creative process, rather than a deliberate show.

The simplest way to tell the difference is that posing for photos is just for show, but Yu Wei seriously dictated for over an hour, and his thoughts were clear and his words were substantial.

The most deadly form of showing off is the subtle kind...

"Is the book club really that popular?"

Xing Chao posted his live text update in the morning, and by noon everyone knew he was out taking a walk and writing a script. The speed at which this information spread was a bit exaggerated.

Even if Yu Wei's novels are very popular, his readership is limited, so how could he have such a big influence? The world doesn't revolve around him.

A post can go viral in just a few hours; many popular platforms don't even get that kind of exposure, right? The World Wide Web is just for fun; for true authority, you have to look to Yuwei.com...

"I saw it on a marketing account."

I only found out about Tong Yulu's scandal by watching videos. These days, marketing accounts are all driven by profit; they'll release a video at the slightest hint of trouble.

Yu Wei's novels have been so popular lately that they've been targeted by book lovers, who ostensibly repost and share them, but in reality, they're just blatantly trying to steal the spotlight.

These kinds of videos don't even require much technical skill; you can just open a post and record your screen, and they get pretty high views, enough to dwarf a bunch of serious video creators in the industry.

"No wonder."

Yu Wei knew his book club wouldn't be that popular; it turns out it was secondary dissemination...

Book lovers are enthusiastically discussing XXXX, and I'm happy to release another video.

"So how's your script coming along? Do you have a suitable role for me?"

Tong Yulu then revealed her true intentions: running and creating art is impressive, but it has nothing to do with her; the mysterious script is the key.

She still had considerable faith in Yu Wei's screenwriting talent; getting a small role wouldn't be a loss, and becoming the lead and securing a representative work would be an even greater win.

"It's still early."

The movie "Goodbye Mr. Loser" is over an hour long, and the script is over 60,000 words long. Obviously, it cannot be produced in a short time.

With Yu Wei and Qi Luoan working together very well, this morning they only briefly started writing the script, finishing the scene of Qiu Ya's wedding.

Writing 60,000 words is quite a workload. Given his novel update frequency, it would take him half a month to write. It must have been tough on the typing expert, Qi Luoan.

Let's see what Qi Yunming says then. His daughter typed out this script word by word. Can he really bear to refuse to cooperate?

"It's alright, just consider it an early investment."

Among those who fawned over Yu Wei, Tong Yulu wasn't particularly intelligent, but she had one thing that others didn't: she was thick-skinned and didn't beat around the bush; she just asked directly.

When others see him eating something delicious, they'll first ask if it's good, hinting that they want to try some. But Tong Yulu's first reaction is always to ask, "What do you want to eat? Break me some..."

"If I can get it for free, that's not a bad idea."

Yu Wei is good at budgeting. Given Qi Yunming's lazy personality, he should probably be put in charge of the film. It would be better to save some of the actor's salary and invest it in the production.

He didn't know what level Tong Yulu's acting skills were, but what more could he ask for than getting something for free?
"What do you mean by 'freebie'..."

Upon hearing this, Tong Yulu subconsciously gripped the zipper at her collar, her fingertips repeatedly rubbing the zipper pull, as if she were having some kind of internal struggle.

After swallowing softly, she suddenly pushed the zipper down half an inch, but then hurriedly pulled it back up the next second.

"I just don't want any payment."

Yu Wei pretended not to see her pulling down the zipper. So you just wanted to show off your gymnastics training clothes, huh?

"Oh, okay, that's acceptable!"

Tong Yulu responded with a sigh of relief, but couldn't finish her sentence, so she turned her attention to serving herself half a bowl of beef soup.

The food at the sports center is pretty good, balancing taste and nutrition. At least Yu Wei ate quite comfortably, probably because he was really tired from practicing in the morning.

For him, the real torment was just beginning; he had to do strength training that afternoon. Inside the gym, Xing Chao started another live-streamed post in his book club, casually adding a disclaimer at the end: "For entertainment purposes only, reproduction prohibited."

"Plank for 3 sets of 60 seconds each."

"Here we go! When do we move on to the scriptwriting stage?"

"Plank exercise? Could you put the phone on Yu Wei's back so I can feel more involved?"

"Dude, you're a bit of a pervert."

Perhaps influenced by the gossip of other readers, Xing Chao became noticeably stricter in the afternoon, constantly emphasizing that "precise strength is worse than shoddy work," leaving Yu Wei bewildered.

They're really treating him like an athlete...

Do you sing regularly? What style are you good at?

The photographer very tactfully moved a little closer. As is Yu Wei’s usual practice, when he starts asking about the contestants’ singing skills, it’s highly likely that he’s about to start composing.

In the first two episodes, he took the lead over all the other guests with this amazing targeted creation.

Even if the song you choose is suitable, can it be as suitable as a song tailor-made for you?

As a fan, Xing Chao knows Yu Wei's tricks all too well. Does this mean he has a chance to sing his idol's new song? He's actually quite excited about it.

"I can sing everything, I'm the singing king of the sports team."

No wonder they dared to come to a music variety show; they must really have some skills.

"How about the high notes? Can you handle them?"

Yu Wei, panting heavily as he climbed the stairs with his weight on him, realized that if readers treated him like an athlete, then he should treat them like a singer...

"No problem." Xing Chao patted his chest proudly. How could someone with his explosive running power be lacking? There won't be any problems.

Yu Wei gave him a meaningful look. He had to make him run forward hysterically. Let's get started with "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart"!
After the afternoon strength training, Yu Wei could barely lift his arms, but even in that situation, he resolutely picked up his phone and started typing.

Several photographers watched with awe. Even with their arms aching, they still kept updating. This guy must really love writing books.

The host specially captured a close-up shot; this scene must appear in the main feature to show those who say Yu Wei's writing of books is just a persona!

Actually, Yu Wei's workload today is not heavy. He has a draft, and he only needs to fill in the missing song titles and plots.

At the end of the live stream, the protagonist spontaneously composed a song titled "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart," with the theme of "dreams." The story then came to a close amidst the exclamations of netizens.

It's awesome! It's a resounding and unforgettable statement!
[Redemption Requirements: Paid chapter interaction count greater than 10000.]

[Available for redemption: None]

The redemption requirement for the works is again the amount of interaction, but the data for "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" has increased tenfold compared to the last time.

It sounds like a big difference, but the interaction data is cumulative, so the actual difference isn't that significant. You can just get a few comments by asking for it.

"Looks like I'll have to bring out my scheming ex-girlfriend."

Tong Yulu got what she wanted, but the plot of her clinging to the protagonist's leg and begging for forgiveness is a bit much. There should have been some build-up. It's a bit abrupt to see her chasing after her husband right after her first appearance.

Yu Wei suddenly remembered the material he had collected during the show. The scene of Tong Yulu and Chi Leying arguing was still vivid in his mind. Their open and covert struggles and smiles hiding daggers were exactly what he needed to use now.

Going out to gather materials is really useful!

Backstage at the film and television awards ceremony, Tong Yulu ran her fingertips over her name, which occupied the center position on the poster of her new drama, and a smug look appeared on her lips.

But soon, her smile froze on her face.

The woman diagonally opposite was being surrounded by three stylists adjusting her skirt; the rhinestones adorning her peach-pink strapless dress were dazzling.

That was supposed to be a high-end luxury brand that was competing with her, but last week the brand terminated its cooperation with her on the grounds that "their image did not match".

It turns out someone else snatched it!

"Sister Chi looks great today, no wonder you're the anchor of the red carpet." Tong Yulu's voice was sickeningly sweet as she casually brushed against the other woman's waist belt, causing the lace bow to suddenly unravel halfway.

"Oh dear, the buttons on this dress come undone even more easily than the movie award that Sister Chi lost last month!"

It's so hard to guess who the female celebrity with the surname Chi is...

Tong Yulu volunteered to be an NPC, but Chi Leying didn't say so, so he couldn't write it too explicitly and just left it vague.

In reality, female celebrities usually pretend not to know each other if they don't like someone. If there is a real conflict, they will just show their displeasure. But it would be too bland to write it like that in a novel.

What kind of argument is it if you don't pull hair?
Yu Wei continued writing some scenes of the two arguing, and finally arranged for the protagonist to enter the red carpet, which can be regarded as the beginning of the film and television festival segment.

"Won't writing it like this... turn it into a real-life 1v1 fight between the two of them?"
