Chapter 28: What The Heck, Where’s My Song?
[Structural fragmentation, loose rhythm, plot logic that doesn’t hold together, protagonist persona with contradictions before and after, movie protagonist with no charm despite relying mainly on actor charm, comprehensive rating 1.2.
This should be the lowest score Wei Yu has given since acquiring the Scoring System. This movie has no redeeming qualities.
He originally just wanted to find a bad movie to rate, to facilitate filming Short Films for himself, but he ate too much and picked the one with the strongest flavor in the summer slot.
As soon as Wei Yu’s film review came out, netizens were shocked. What is Rating Bro up to? The Chinese Music Scene isn’t enough for you to critique, so you’re coming to eat in the Film and Television Industry?
Rating songs is one thing, after his two songs, he has indeed proven he has the qualifications to rate, but a singer rating a movie—what’s that about?]
Don’t worry, let the bullet fly for a while.
Yu Wei first wrote a transition for the Filming Instance. Since the protagonist has the Scoring System, this is the time to rate harshly.
What colleague or not, he’s targeting colleagues!
Actually, old readers familiar with Entertainment novels already know what he’s up to: blasting the movie. The protagonist is going to Film…
This kind of plot where you shoot the arrow first and then draw the target is very common, but the problem is, what about the song?
The Singing segment in the plot is already over, but what about off-site? Where did such a big song “Sound of Rain” go?
They’ve placed the bet and read the book, waited four or five days, and still haven’t seen any shadow of this song.
It can’t be that this time it’s really a song made up by the Dog Author…
“Impossible, absolutely impossible. I’m not some brainless villain from a novel who sends himself to die after eating one loss once. This song definitely exists!”
“Isn’t it possible that the author knows you’d think that, so this time he deliberately made up a real song.”
“That shouldn’t be. Those few lines of excerpted Lyrics have a nice artistic conception. The song is probably still in intensive production.”
“It’s a code. What background does this Dog Author have that he can get a Semi-finished Product song?”
His own readers are pretty smart, guessing eight or nine out of ten. “Sound of Rain” indeed isn’t considered complete yet. Yu Wei has to go to the Company soon to record a formal version.
Then the song and the seventh episode of “HELLO Roommate” will be released at the same time, mutually cooperating to stir up a wave of Popularity then.
“Sure enough, netizens aren’t NPCs.”
……
In the 17th floor conference room of Ying Huo Hua Wen Building, Liu Ning looked at the newly arrived Cooperation Agreement and was still dazed. They just arranged for Yu Wei to go on a Variety Show, how did he drum up a song…
So prolific?
She doesn’t understand Music much, but Teacher Hong Hui’s eyes lit up after hearing the on-site version song demo, showing this song is also exceptional.
This little Salted Fish, really cheating?
The timid Yu Wei she previously led onstage has already gotten her salary and benefits raised twice…
Although she was nominally a senior Agent before, her treatment still couldn’t compare to others, otherwise she wouldn’t have been assigned to bring the unknown Yu Wei.
Who would have thought she actually bet on the ace.
While she was sighing over her life encounters, Yu Wei who was preparing to record the song arrived, calling her Sister Liu from far away.
His enthusiastic appearance definitely has some meaning for others to see. You know, many Artists have situations where management suddenly changes their Agent.
Bluntly put, the higher-ups definitely want to place their own people by the Star’s side—fat water doesn’t flow to outsiders, and it’s easier to control.
The more enthusiastic Yu Wei is to her now, the more the higher-ups will hesitate to change people, since Yu Wei is just on Business terms, this favor still needs consideration.
Liu Ning sees through it clearly. This kid is finding ways to protect her…
Yu Wei was so honest and dull before, who knows where he learned these tricks.
“Sister Liu, sorry to make you work overtime again.”
Yu Wei does have some meaning of doing it for others in the Company to see, but undeniably, his Relationship with Sister Liu is indeed as enthusiastic as it appears on the surface.
In the Company, she treats him like a Parent.
Not to mention the gratitude, even in pure Business Cooperation, Sister Liu is far more reliable than others.
A Star’s Agent isn’t some guiding little elf—they have great Right to Speak, and are strongly related to the Star on certain levels.
Actually, many Artists in Domestic Entertainment who make outrageous moves have their Agent’s Shadow behind them. For such a position so closely related to him, he doesn’t trust anyone but Sister Liu.
“My shift, others want it but can’t get it.”
Liu Ning smiled comforted, then handed the Agreement to Yu Wei to sign. “I’ve checked it for you. The Program Team only wants the song’s usage rights, nothing else involved.”
“HELLO Roommate” isn’t a Music Variety Show after all, so deeper Cooperation can’t be negotiated.
Yu Wei nodded, while checking the Agreement, he casually asked: “Sister Liu, do you know how to apply to the Company for Filming Short Films?”
That wasn’t casual at all…
“Short Film?”
Liu Ning instantly understood Yu Wei wanted to stir things up again. If it was before, she definitely would tell him to stay wherever cool, is Filming something he should covet?
But now, she unconsciously has a bit more trust in Yu Wei, even if this trust has no reason.
“The Process for Filming Short Films is very troublesome. Unless it’s the Film and Television Department, basically no chance…” She believes Yu Wei, but the Company isn’t so easy to talk to. “How about this, apply as filming a song MV. Your words carry weight.”
Brilliant. No wonder Sister Liu is one of us—can others teach him this trick of shearing the Company’s wool?
Perfectly, Yu Wei also likes the MV of “Sound of Rain”, so apply first under the name of filming MV, then film his own little Short Film.
“You this is…”
Liu Ning still couldn’t hold back her curiosity. Wanting to Film, she can help connect Resources. With Yu Wei’s current Popularity, no worry about no roles. What’s he up to?
“Kid doesn’t know better, just filming for fun.”
Yu Wei’s Habit is, before things are done, no need to say too clearly, also avoids others arbitrarily expecting and arbitrarily disappointed.
As for why not find roles to Film himself… can only say he still cherishes his reputation.
Filming one bad drama plants Stereotype and black history, later no matter how many good ones can’t wash it off. He doesn’t lack money temporarily, no need to smear himself.
If really going to film trash Costume Idol Drama, afraid it’s “haters racking brains not as good as his flash of inspiration”.
But this matter isn’t urgent. After all, Yu Wei hasn’t even gotten the Script yet, hasn’t started writing the plot for “Sound Mixer”.
“Yo, the big shot is back.”
Yu Wei was preparing to go downstairs to record the song, Zhang Lingye with a headband happened to pass by, obviously also planning to go to the conference room for some Business.
“Same to you. By the way, you free lately? Come help me film an MV.”
Free labor shouldn’t be wasted. After filming MV, can directly join the crew to film, seamless connection.
Seeing Zhang Lingye’s skeptical gaze, Yu Wei quickly added: “I’ll arrange it, guarantee all bed scenes for you.”
“Such a good thing exists?”
“Guaranteed.”
That Corpse in “Sound Mixer” sleeps quite long…
