18. Love at first sight? It's more like lust at first sight!
Liu Wei fell silent for a moment.
Even in 2014, telecommunication scams were already widespread.
But because the other party claimed to be named Chen Wei and mentioned the show "Crossover King," he felt there was a certain level of credibility.
After all,
Liu Wei was familiar with this show.
Although it didn't debut until 2016, it was perfectly normal for it to appear earlier in this parallel world.
"Mr. Liu Wei, are you still there?"
Seeing Liu Wei not responding, Chen Wei asked with a hint of confusion.
"I'm here."
"May I ask, Director Chen, how did you get my number?"
Liu Wei inquired.
"Haha, Mr. Liu Wei, don't tell me you think I'm a scammer?"
"I got your contact information from Teacher Qin Lan, she's also a contestant on our show, 'Crossover King'!"
Hearing these words,
Liu Wei was certain that he wasn't a scammer.
He knew that "Liu Kai Wei" had once collaborated with Qin Lan on a television series, and Qin Lan had a good relationship with Yang Mi.
It was said that,
When Yang Mi visited Qin Lan on set,
Liu Wei fell head over heels for her...
Or rather,
He was lusting after Yang Mi!
Since Liu Wei was no longer wary, a smile graced his face: "Is that so? But I'm just an actor. Why would Director Chen consider inviting me to a singing show?"
"Teacher Liu, you're being too humble."
"Your song, 'Love Is Simple,' is incredibly popular online. I've heard it too, it's sung beautifully, not a bit inferior to professional singers!"
"Our show needs actor-singers like you!"
Chen Wei praised.
"Director Chen, you flatter me."
"I just sing casually, I'm far from a professional singer."
Liu Wei politely deflected the compliment.
He also understood why Chen Wei had reached out to him.
His performance of 'Love Is Simple' for Yang Mi had been uploaded online, and it had gained a lot of attention in the past few days, catching Chen Wei's eye.
With his current popularity, if he participated in "Crossover King," it would naturally bring a significant boost to the show's ratings.
After all,
He wasn't just "Liu Kai Wei,"
He was also the husband of the popular actress, Yang Mi.
The production team,
Could also capitalize on Yang Mi's fame!
"I wonder, Teacher Liu, would you be interested in joining 'Crossover King' for a little fun? As for the compensation, we'll give you a satisfactory price!"
Liu Wei didn't immediately agree: "I'll consider it."
"Good!"
"I'll be waiting for Teacher Liu's good news!"
Soon,
The call ended.
Liu Wei lit a cigarette and began to think.
"Right now, the most important thing is to finish writing the script for 'Gu Jian Qi Tan,' then secure funding and start filming as soon as possible."
"That way, the company can operate smoothly!"
"But I'm not completely out of time to participate in 'Crossover King.' After all, once the script is done and I find investors, it'll still take time to select filming locations, choose actors, and so on..."
"Crossover King,"
Liu Wei was still somewhat tempted.
With his musical abilities, he was sure to gain a large fan base through this show...
"No rush."
"Let's eat with my wife first..."
...
Afterwards,
Liu Wei called Yang Mi.
She had successfully registered "Wei Yang Si Hai" Media, and Liu Wei went to meet her for lunch. He told her about "Crossover King"!
To this,
Yang Mi was very supportive!
Therefore, Liu Wei called Director Chen Wei back and told him he decided to participate.
He also learned that,
"Crossover King" would begin recording in a week...
Over the next two days,
Liu Wei poured all his energy into writing the script...
He finally finished the 48-episode script for "Gu Jian Qi Tan." After Yang Mi read it, she liked it a lot.
They were in complete agreement,
Deciding to take the script and seek investment!
Their first target,
Was Huan Rui Media!
This was Yang Mi's former company. After her contract with Huan Rui expired, she left and established her own personal studio!
However, she maintained a good relationship with Huan Rui!
Therefore,
Yang Mi, accompanied by Bai Shuang, headed to Huan Rui Media headquarters.
Liu Wei,
Remained at home, continuing with his own affairs.
Since he was going to participate in "Crossover King," he still needed to learn more musical skills, such as playing various instruments, as well as producing backing tracks...
He couldn't just always play and sing with a guitar, right?
【Ding, you're learning piano, triggering Heavenly Insight, successfully mastering 'Piano Playing Techniques' (Grandmaster Level)】
【Ding, you're learning drums, triggering Heavenly Insight, successfully mastering 'Drumming Techniques' (Grandmaster Level)】
【Ding, you're learning bass, triggering Heavenly Insight, successfully mastering 'Bass Playing Techniques' (Grandmaster Level)】
【Ding, you're learning arranging...】
【Ding, you're learning to produce backing tracks...】
Liu Wei delved into all knowledge related to music.
He,
Transformed into,
A true all-around musician!
While Liu Wei was diligently learning musical knowledge,
Yang Mi and Bai Shuang returned from Huan Rui Media.
The expressions on their faces,
Weren't exactly rosy...
Seeing this, Liu Wei smiled and comforted them: "Looks like seeking investment wasn't very smooth, were you rejected by Huan Rui Media?"
"They said your script isn't very good."
Yang Mi said softly: "Honey, don't take it to heart. I think your script is amazing, we can invest independently and film it ourselves!"
"Don't we have to invest everything ourselves?"
"This is our first time personally producing a project. We still need a well-established entertainment company as our backing, everything will go more smoothly!"
"Besides Huan Rui, other entertainment companies might not invest in us!"
?
"Why?"
Liu Wei was stunned.
"Gu Jian Qi Tan" wasn't that bad of a script, was it?
And Yang Mi would be personally starring as the female lead, she could carry a whole drama, how could no one be willing to invest? !
At this moment,
Bai Shuang, who had been silent, clenched her teeth and said: "Sister Mi, you told me not to say anything, but I have to! "
"Brother Wei, it's not that your script is bad."
"It's actually Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruo Rao targeting you. They've both returned to work at Huan Rui, and they're scheming behind the scenes!"
"They even contacted other entertainment companies, telling them not to invest in you!"
"Oh?"
Liu Wei raised an eyebrow.
He wasn't angry about this...
He had kicked Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruo Rao out, it was normal for them to target him!
Looking at Yang Mi, who was gloomy, he reached out and pinched her face, smiling reassuringly: "Wife, it's okay."
"Even if mainland entertainment companies don't invest in us."
"I still have other options..."
Hearing this,
Yang Mi's eyes lit up: "Honey, what other options do you have?"
"If mainland entertainment doesn't work, I'll find Hong Kong entertainment!"
"Wife, you forgot, I'm from..."
Liu Wei took out his phone,
Found a phone number, and immediately dialed it.
"Mani姐, I have something I want to talk to you about. Are you interested?"
Liu Wei,
Was calling Huo Wen Xi!
Also known as Xie Ting Feng's manager, the 'second in command' at EEG Entertainment!!
