Chapter 89: The True Entertainment Industry Archvillain
“An An moved off-campus, find some time to go see her.”
Chen Jinyi quietly nestled in the corner of the sofa, nagging at Qi Yunming who was slouched at the other end holding the remote control; the TV was playing the opening of Music Blind Box.
“She’s a grown-up, could she really get abducted?”
Qi Yunming held the remote control somewhat unmoved; it would be such a hassle to go all the way there, with that time he might as well go fishing a couple more times…
He rarely watched variety shows, but he had just heard that the company had a meeting about Yu Wei’s movie during the day, so he decided to check on the kid’s recent situation.
He hoped the script would be written slowly; he still wanted to slack off for a few more months.
“I heard Old Meng was also written into the novel by him…”
Chen Jinyi looked up and happened to notice Meng Han in the guest seats, so she casually mentioned it.
She didn’t know Yu Wei well, but her own son had his Dao Heart Shattered by that move; she hoped Old Meng was fine, after all, he was getting on in years.
“Pretty good.”
Qi Yunming’s thinking was simple: the more people who lost to Yu Wei, the better for Qi Yuan to accept reality. Even though he didn’t meddle much with the child, he knew exactly what that brat was thinking.
Lose enough times and he’d submit…
The program soon reached the blind box opening segment. When a somewhat familiar silhouette appeared behind the four-colored curtain, Qi Yunming’s expression, which had been casually glancing over, finally showed some change.
He unconsciously sat up, but the moment the curtain fell, he lay back down again.
The instant he saw his daughter appear on the program, Qi Yunming thought of many things, but after a flash of thoughts, he decided to let it be.
Then go interrogate Qi Yuan later.
Was it you who introduced your younger sister to Yu Wei?
He could sit still with his big heart, but for Chen Jinyi, it was like the sky had fallen. This scene was no less than a bolt from the blue for her. Didn’t An An say she was going back to school for studies? What kind of studies was this?
“I’m making a call!”
“Don’t bother, don’t you know her yet?”
Qi Yunming could figure it out even with his feet: the caring little padded jacket would play dead. She might seem carefree, but deep down she was like a turtle; otherwise, she wouldn’t have quit the industry for so many years…
Watching Qi Luo An chatting happily with Yu Wei in the bookstore on the program, the two didn’t know what to say. For now, it seemed acceptable.
Yu Wei was a nice young man; making a friend was fine.
They thought so, and the next second, the camera cut to their daughter appearing in Yu Wei’s home.
There was a photographer on the program, so it was definitely fine, but the program had wrapped filming half a month ago—what about the days after? What were they doing?
Chen Jinyi didn’t know what kind of person Yu Wei was, and with her own daughter throwing herself at the door, it would be strange not to overthink it.
“Don’t overthink it, Yu Wei isn’t that kind of person.”
Qi Yunming originally wanted to comfort her that their daughter wasn’t that kind of person, but when the words reached his mouth, he suddenly felt a bit unconfident. She had even approached him on the program, clearly An An was the one taking the initiative…
Logically, he should be worried about his daughter getting the short end, but honestly, watching a variety show on a variety show was pretty interesting.
Qi Yunming even saw himself from Chao Yue Ban episode ten on the TV of Music Blind Box’s first episode.
Fortunately, after entering the campus side story length, their interactions became much more normal. Yu Wei just sat there typing away intently, not glancing sideways…
Seeing this, Chen Jinyi surprisingly felt a subtle psychology: how was her daughter inferior to the novel?
Qi Yunming’s mood was the exact opposite: writing novels was great. Compared to smoking, drinking, and riding those souped-up scooters, this hobby was nothing.
Perhaps the program team also knew there wasn’t much to film about Yu Wei in this stage, so the latter half of the program’s length focused mainly on the other three pairs.
Especially the surprise Su Xinnan prepared for the nurse older sister; the program spent quite a bit of ink on it.
“Something’s off.”
As an old movie person, even though Qi Yunming’s skill level wasn’t high, he still understood the filming logic of multi-threaded progression. This camera shot allocation was completely unreasonable.
Even if it was a side story, it couldn’t be completely ignored no matter how unimportant. The program’s rhythm was clearly deliberately downplaying Yu Wei’s sense of presence—there was a big one coming later!
By the time he realized it, it was too late. Under the program team’s deliberate downplaying, Yu Wei and Qi Luo An’s chorus stage didn’t get much attention.
The audience had always thought Su Xinnan was the protagonist of this episode, but when the piano flowed into the prelude of Under the Flying Clouds, they knew they had bet wrong.
This was not only an original song but an extremely challenging original. Qi Luo An’s breath on the high note was like silk yet steady as a boulder, giving them a slap in the face right from the opening.
As a result, Yu Wei’s follow-up singing was even more show-off skills. The chest cavity resonance low note rumbled like a cello, intertwining with the clear female voice into alternating cold and warm airflows, then harmony began layering, with the high note even overpowering the other.
Qi Yunming and Chen Jinyi completely didn’t expect their cooperation to be so good: the female voice high note steady as a boulder, the male voice complementing it brilliantly…
Even if their moods were a bit complex, they had to admit the song was quite good; it would be even better without all that tacit understanding eye contact.
“Has An An’s singing skill improved?”
Qi Yunming shook his head. Although he didn’t know much about music, he still felt it was thanks to Yu Wei’s song; the range and timbre were both very suitable for An An to sing.
Without a doubt, their daughter had been carried to fly.
Without Yu Wei’s support, her level would be mediocre. As parents, they had to have a sense of proportion and not get greedy after gaining an advantage…
But they weren’t snobs either; they couldn’t just ignore it because the song was sung well. There was nothing to say about Yu Wei’s side, but they still had to address their daughter’s work.
“I’ll call Yuan Yuan first.”
Sitting at home, disaster came from the sky.
Qi Yuan had just finished watching the program with a complicated mood, still not recovered from the double blow of Yu Wei’s progress and his younger sister overtaking him, when a huge black pot was slammed on his head.
He had introduced the two; how could he not know?
Was that an introduction? Qi Yuan had only given a contact method… Alright, in the end, the problem did seem to stem from him, but he absolutely wasn’t the mastermind.
Very clearly, he had been set up!
“What a vicious plan.”
Qi Yuan originally thought his younger sister was just using Yu Wei against him, but now it seemed not comprehensive enough. An An was clearly using him to get close to Yu Wei.
First using the teammate relationship to connect with Yu Wei, then aligning with Yu Wei through opposition to himself, and now that he had no use value, he became the sacrifice of the conspiracy.
Considering Qi Luo An’s consistent aversion to the entertainment industry, the truth of all this was self-evident!
His younger sister had targeted him everywhere before, not due to some sibling discord, but because he wanted to inherit grandfather’s mantle and become the future of the entertainment industry…
Later Yu Wei appeared, so she turned her gun on this new hope, extending her demonic claws toward him. Her true purpose had always been to hinder the entertainment industry’s progress.
She was putting her aversion to the entertainment industry into thorough action!
“Is this your true face?”
If that was really the case, then Yu Wei was in danger…
Three more chapters during the day.
