Jiang Rui is a copywriter in a sales company. She has a low level of education, limited salary, introverted personality and ordinary looks. She is just an ordinary person among the countless others.

Jiang Rui couldn't say she was satisfied with her situation, but she didn't complain too much either. She just dealt with her life as it was.

However, she still has someone she envies and admires, and that is Fan Xiaopang.

She herself is not pretty, so she is very envious of Fan Xiaopang's face that is a disaster for the country and the people.

She is introverted, has no special abilities, and is a little bit inferior, so she admires Fan Xiaopang's legendary experience of rising from a maid to become a big star, Fan Ye. She admires her confidence and domineering attitude when she shouts "I am a wealthy family". She has no popularity with the opposite sex, so she hopes that Fan Xiaopang can win over Wei Yang, the male god that countless women are dreaming of.

In addition, when she was in college, she was a die-hard fan of "My Love from the Star". She especially liked the contrasting and cheerful character of the female lead Fan Qianqian, and found her to be friendly and interesting. Therefore, she is a die-hard supporter of the "Wei Fan CP".

So even though her income was not high, when she learned that the movie "Famous" starring Wei and Fan was about to be released, Jiang Rui decisively chose to go to the cinema to support it.

Even since late June, when the promotion of the film continued to increase, she has been constantly browsing materials online to learn about the details of the film.

“The theme song for ‘Fame and Fame’ is out?”

Jiang Rui saw the news on Weibo and glanced at the office not far away. The supervisor seemed to be on the phone and most of the colleagues around were slacking off.

Jingjing on the left seems to be watching a silent video of a Korean boy band, flipping through documents in his hands. Xiao Liu on the right is photoshopping while reading a novel.

Jiang Rui was not a pushover either, she took out her phone and said, "Hello, can you please check the previous video copy? Okay, please wait a moment."

After calling up two videos, Jiang Rui openly put on headphones. Jingjing, who was sitting next to her, gave her a thumbs up and even looked at the computer.

Everyone has a good relationship with each other, so they know what Jiang Rui usually pays attention to, and they can understand it just by taking a look at the video.

"Who sang it?"

"Tian Zhen, a song written by Wei Yang."

Normally when you come across a song, the singer will be introduced, but no one cares about the lyricist or composer unless the other person is a celebrity.

This is the case with well-known musical talents like Wei Yang and Zhou Jielun. People have to introduce the composer of the song first, and it is not particularly important who sings the song.

Of course, that only applies to ordinary singers. Tian Zhen is still a little different.

Today, the popularity of this famous Chinese pop diva is not as high as before, and she is even in a semi-retired state.

But her status in the world is there, and her peak moment is not too far away from now, so many people still remember her.

At least Jingjing had heard of her, but was not very interested in this outdated queen.

“Why don’t you invite Laying to sing?”

Jiang Rui was not familiar with the music industry and didn't care who was singing. She just listened to the song and wanted to see if Fan Xiaopang was in the video, as well as the interaction between Fan and Wei Yang.

She answered Jingjing's question, glanced at her supervisor, and then clicked on the video.

To Jiang Rui's surprise, this theme song was not the trailer he had imagined.

In addition to the release time of "Famous", what appeared on the screen at the beginning was not the movie, but the various street scenes in Shanghai.

Later, Tian Zhen came in and saw Wei Yang, who was wearing a baseball cap and dressed casually, in the recording studio. They hugged and greeted each other. The two seemed to be very happy to meet each other. They held a piece of music score and discussed for a while, and then introduced the street scene of Shanghai again, from white to black and then back to white.

After several days and nights, Tian Zhen finally appeared in the recording studio, and the prelude and singing began.

Tian Zhen's voice is a little low, and has her own unique hoarseness. The combination of the two gives it a sense of vicissitudes that makes people sigh, and at the same time carries a sense of heaviness and depression.

"You forgot. The cold wind that cut through the wound. You believed it, and it would be like a lifetime without any pain or itch.

Why do you want to sing when you see the snow falling? Why do you shed tears when you let go ?..."

The song "What Can I Use to Keep You" originated from an album in 2021, sung by a girl band, which later became unpopular.

However, although the singer is bad, the song is not bad. This song expresses life directly. The lyrics are full of contradictions and also imply people's lives.

We must enjoy [its brilliance] and endure [its decay]. They are [bitter as a song] and also [brilliant as a song]. This is the contradictory yet fascinating life, but we love it and want to keep it forever.

"To Be Famous" is a drama about an ensemble cast, especially the main creators, all of whom have their own glory and lows, bitterness and decay, and brilliance and splendor.

But they still love life and the world, maintain the bottom line of a kind person, and work hard for it.

Wei Yang chose this song as the theme song of "To Become Famous" because it is very vital and fits the tone of many characters in the movie.

The reason for choosing Tian Zhen to sing is that, on the one hand, her voice has both the power of suppression and explosion; on the other hand, she herself is currently in a low point, so she can have a deeper understanding of the song and sing it with more flavor.

In fact, Wei Yang did not choose the wrong person.

After the depressing and low main song, at the climax of the chorus, Tian Zhen completely burst out with emotion. Her high and deep female voice seemed to break through the bitterness and despair of the darkness, singing loudly about the coming dawn.

"Do you want to see the flowers blooming? Do you want to see the swallows returning ?

Because I enjoy its splendor Because I endure its decay You say don’t love it, but you’re reluctant to let it go

So life, it is as bitter as a song ..."

Compared with the original version, the two versions are a little different, and the original version is relatively more depressing.

Perhaps because of the author and singer's own reasons, although the lyrics express a sense of longing and love, they always make people feel an inescapable sense of despair. Tian Zhen's version is warmer and more healing, and the song also carries comfort and light, which can give people the spiritual strength to love life.

Wei Yang personally prefers Tian Zhen's version, which is more in line with the story of "To Become Famous" and the tone of the protagonists.

As the song enters the second part, the video finally has a few scenes from the movie, comparing them to most of the characters.

"Twenty years ago, you were a famous star, our former silent film emperor!"

In the voice-over, Uncle Ge is holding a hat in his hand, with a bald head, and a gloomy face with a hint of loneliness.

Fatty Wang looked proud and sat on the sofa, "All the films I made are profitable."

Wu Jing has no lines, but he fights with the Military Control Commission's minions everywhere, killing people in all directions.

Jiang Wu was now at the stair railing, his face filled with grief and anger, and he yelled, "I just want to tell them that I, Lu Ziye, want to get back what he lost."

Duan Long, with his face covered in blood, sat silently, looked up at the ceiling and exhaled a puff of smoke.

Lin Gengxin rushed into a crime scene wearing a police uniform and then accepted a commendation from the police station.

Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang danced passionately on the stage, one was gentlemanly and smooth, the other charming and elegant.

In the next shot, Wei Yang squatted in a corner, leaving only his back. Uncle Ge and Fatty Fan talked to him while looking at his back.

"It was him who said your acting was bad, and it was also him who stood up to clear the air for you when someone threw mud at you."

The camera gave a close-up of Fat Fan looking at Wei Yang's background, and his suspicious eyes slowly turned gentle.

The scene of the movie came to an abrupt end, but Jiang Rui was very excited because the CP she had been dreaming of was in the movie.

In addition to being sweet, this theme song is also very emotional to listen to. Jiang Rui doesn’t understand what music and its deep meaning are, but she likes it because the song is nice and the lyrics are good.

She wrote down the song title and planned to download it later. Then she immediately helped forward the theme song video. It was not enough for her to forward it herself, she also sent it to a QQ group, hoping that a few friends would help forward it.

After working for a few minutes, Jiang Rui finally finished it and breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that the picture flashed too fast just now and she didn't notice some details, and she wanted to listen to the song again.

Before clicking, she glanced at her supervisor's office again, only to find no one there.

Jiang Rui, sensing something was wrong, suddenly took off her headphones, only to discover that the office was extremely quiet and her colleagues were working more diligently than each other.

There was suddenly a hand on her shoulder. Jiang Rui swallowed her saliva and turned her head with difficulty to look behind her. Her supervisor was leaning against her with a fake smile and his tone was vague.

“Is this song good?”

…

“Nice!”

Fan Xiaopang on the phone gave high praise, and his words were full of admiration for Wei Yang.

Talent is one of the best filters for men. There is no shortage of handsome men and wealthy bosses in the entertainment industry. Wei Yang not only has both, but is also talented, which is one of the keys to his attraction to women.

In the entertainment industry, some talented people are more popular than handsome guys and rich people.

I don't know how many goddesses have rejected rich men, ignored handsome guys, and thrown themselves into the arms of talented men who are not good-looking and have no money. There are even examples where the woman is strong and the man is weak, and the woman earns money to support the man.

He is rich but has no talent or looks, and is a nouveau riche.

He is good-looking but has no money and no talent. He is just a gigolo.

An artist is one who has talent but no money and no face.

This world is so rogue, most people look at looks and money, but you don’t, then you are pursuing the spiritual world, which is of a higher level and you stand at the top of the contempt chain.

Fan Xiaopang is a vulgar person. If she were to choose, she would definitely value money more, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t value a man’s appearance and talent.

Wei Yang's appearance and financial resources are certainly very important, but combined with his "unparalleled" talent, all three make him the most "perfect" man.

After praising Wei Yang for two minutes, Fat Fan got down to business and asked Wei Yang if he had made any changes to the script during editing.

At present, Fan Xiaopang has not joined the publicity team, so he has not seen the finished product and does not know whether the movie is the same as the story of the script.

Because the script, shooting and editing are often inconsistent. The script may be one story, the filming may be another story, and the editing may be another story.

"To Be Famous" was filmed according to the script, and Fan Xiaopang knew the general plot, but after seeing the trailer, he became a little uncertain, so he called to inquire.

"Mengdie and Li Jiahui are together?"

"No?"

"That trailer looks like a story between two people. Did you still edit it according to the script?"

"Yes, it's pretty much the same as the script. The scenes in the trailer are about one-third of our interaction."

“…”

Fat Fan was silent, thinking about the comments on Weibo that her agent had shown her before, which were full of excitement from the CP fans. She also thought about how many people would curse Wei Yang for cheating after the movie was released...
