Chapter 87: The Most Hilarious Episode
“I finished filming yesterday and rested early, just heard that Yu Wei’s novel went on sale, must support it, please 1000 friends read the book.”
Chi Leying fired the first shot for the novel cloud booking.
In the entertainment industry, colleagues often book each other’s film and television dramas for fans to watch for free, which handles human relationships while rewarding fans, nothing new.
Booking movies and TV dramas is quite common, but booking a novel is a first.
After hearing the news from Sister Liu, Yu Wei immediately replied in the comment section: “Thanks for the support, friendship lasts forever.”
The first half is sincere, the second half is what domestic entertainment fans love to hear, girl group fans treat romance like a flood or fierce beast, guarding against male artists like thieves.
Those who follow the entertainment industry often will notice that “friendship lasts forever” appears with high frequency in stars’ comment sections.
Good relationship but stops here, fans only recognize friends who don’t ride coattails.
However, Chi Leying’s fans have a pretty high approval of him, Yu Wei scrolled through the comment section, and there were some hoping for more cooperation between them.
After all, they tasted the sweetness…
In pandering to preferences, Chi Leying is more than one level above Tong Yulu, getting a group of people to read the novel directly boosts Yu Wei’s data, while forwarding to Moments would only embarrass him.
She knows exactly what Yu Wei wants.
Chi Leying’s success quickly sparked other artists to follow suit, many stars rushed to imitate, even several that Yu Wei doesn’t know.
The reason is simple, this matter itself has a lot of popularity, inviting to read books doesn’t cost much money, and can connect with Yu Wei, why not?
Among them, a few who experienced massive unfollows last night, their inviting fans to read books carries a bit of whitewashing themselves.
You know, Yu Wei is my good brother.
“World Book Day and didn’t invite me as spokesperson, what a pity.”
As the person involved, Yu Wei certainly doesn’t mind more readers, best if they also give a little heart to the character cards on the novel’s main page…
Sigh, Yu Wei has always failed for years and never valued the popularity value of this novel role, the only time he understood was because of a little mare.
Who would have thought, he would have a day needing role popularity value, protagonist Wei Yu’s current star shine value is just over six thousand, still a good distance from the ten thousand needed to redeem a work.
Actually, this thing can also be directly brushed with money, but no need for now, no need to spend money on things that can be free of charge, and he isn’t in a hurry to exchange the movie script.
The novel just went on sale and he doesn’t even have time for explosive updates, where does he have time to write a script? For now, readers can casually tap the little heart, wait until needed to spend money later.
“Continue update.”
Yu Wei still owes readers three updates, plot thread recovery is almost done, time to open a new instance.
Entertainment novel protagonists go back and forth with just those few things, programs filming live broadcasts, he has written about going on programs and filming, but the protagonist hasn’t done a live broadcast yet.
Scoring system fits perfectly with live broadcast, not only can interact and exchange with netizens, scoring is more real-time, pass by and score one.
An entertainment novel without impromptu creation is incomplete, he must cite classics.
……
Star Pupil production company meeting room, the big screen that should display meeting content is instead showing a page of a novel, this would be quite explosive even in the entire meeting world.
Those who don’t know might think someone projected the wrong thing…
If Yu Wei were here he would definitely be embarrassed to the scalp numb, because what’s hanging on the big screen is exactly the novel he updated overnight last night, the plot about “Charlotte Troubles”.
Web novels are normal for one person to read, but once the number of onlookers exceeds three, the nature completely changes, easy to get embarrassed cancer.
However, clearly, they didn’t treat Yu Wei’s novel as a novel, but as an investment, and one with very high credibility at that.
“I think we can try it.”
The planning director pushed up his glasses, Yu Wei’s products must be high-quality, outsiders watch the excitement insiders watch the doorway, they have studied the “Sound Mixer” script.
Writing a good short film doesn’t guarantee a good movie script, but it can show some things, at least in plot construction and role design, Yu Wei’s standard cannot be ignored.
When “Charlotte Troubles” this movie appeared in the novel, they started paying close attention, after all, Yu Wei’s routine is to write ideas into the novel ahead of time.
The film and television industry doesn’t know or care what this weird habit is, they only know this film has very high strategic value.
Even if this script is very ordinary, riding on Yu Wei’s popularity makes it easy to catch fire, not to mention the things he puts out are never bad, completely worth a shot.
“Yu Wei can’t change the market either.”
The market director calmly laid out a series of data, “This year’s comedy films online broadcast rate dropped 28%, box office even zero harvest, comedy films have receded, no one can do anything.”
Yu Wei didn’t write other things in the novel, but “Charlotte Troubles” style is written clearly, without a doubt it’s comedy.
These two years the easiest films to fail are comedy films, even with how many big stars, full veteran actors can still fail miserably.
The root cause is comedy films are hard to grasp that degree, exaggerated ones make people sit on pins and needles in theaters, conservative ones are neither fish nor fowl, ending with forced sublimation simply tortures the audience.
“Mainly, Yu Wei and comedy, these two words don’t match at all.”
Not to mention comedy, Yu Wei’s music works basically carry a touch of faint sadness, this isn’t a stereotype, his fans’ name is almost little melancholy.
Yu Wei writing a comedy film, can it be funny?
Say he can write scripts everyone definitely believes, after all there’s “Sound Mixer” as a right-in-front example, but comedy not necessarily.
So many professionals in comedy have sunk, let alone Yu Wei this amateur, this has nothing to do with credibility, purely the market is sluggish.
“Referencing ‘Sound Mixer’, Yu Wei’s script has plot where needed and metaphor where needed, at least we can talk and see the script first.”
“Can core and metaphor be monetized? A not funny comedy film, netizens might as well brush short videos!”
This matter involves the underlying contradiction of film and television creation, the game between art and market, the planning director values the artistry of Yu Wei’s script, but the market department likes to speak with data.
Both sides stick to their guns, completely unable to reach consensus on Yu Wei’s this movie.
“Everyone, no need to discuss.”
Finally breaking the deadlock surprisingly was a business executive who temporarily entered, with her position of course she can’t issue orders, this is just reporting the latest news.
“Ying Huo Hua Wen replied, Star Pupil already has someone who talked script with Yu Wei.”
Already someone talked, when?
Star Pupil’s entire production team is here, they are all still observing, who else in the company has the authority to bypass them to discuss cooperation…
“Director Qi talked with Yu Wei a month ago.”
Damn!
The meeting room crowd analyzing this movie a second ago instantly understood, if caught the eye of Old Qi, this movie is only a matter of time before failure.
Even the planning director optimistic about “Charlotte Troubles” felt some helplessness upon hearing this, this movie is gone…
Previously they didn’t believe in metaphysics either, until Qi Yunming consecutively failed thirteen films, no matter how professional the main creators, how much the actors can carry box office, his films just fail.
In the entertainment industry this kind of persona that easily flips cars stands tall, twenty years, Qi Yunming hasn’t succeeded once.
Many say after he finished a masterpiece he was backlashed by luck, so failed until now… if that’s really the case, Yu Wei coming won’t help.
The question is, Qi Yunming wasting the company’s resources like this, no one manages him?
Really no one, because he is Star Pupil’s controlling shareholder.
Qi Yunming is just bad at directing, not incapable, everyone still recognizes his other aspects besides filmmaking standard.
Bad movies just have bad reputation not no viewers, he doesn’t lose much money making bad movies, everyone just lets him be.
Anyway, it’s not smashing the company’s signboard, it’s his own, this time is similar.
King of bad movies and melancholy singer, feels this combo itself has more comedy effect than the movie…
