Chapter 78 Exploded
Ten years ago, the middle-aged director Meng Huadong gathered a group of powerful actors and filmed a palace drama from an all-female perspective.
It tells the story of a naive and innocent beauty who is reborn into a ruthless master of a palace and eventually becomes the empress dowager of the current dynasty.
The drama became an instant hit as soon as it was broadcasted on Hailan TV's prime time, and became a phenomenal "female lead" drama that still has countless fans.
Since then, dramas with the label of "female protagonists" have flooded the market like crazy. However, many viewers have found that these so-called "female protagonists" are just fake.
No matter how the story background or character settings are changed, in the end it is "the emotional entanglement between a woman and several men."
She must be stunningly beautiful and extremely intelligent. All the good men in the play love her, want her, and are willing to give everything for her.
Her downfall is because of a man, her salvation is inseparable from a man, her success is paved by a man, and her value of being loved can only be reflected by a man.
Therefore, when the drama "Moon Rising over Spring Stream" appeared on the Internet with the label of "strong heroine", the only ones who cheered and applauded were the actress who played the heroine, He Yan's fans.
Fans of You Yuting, the actor who plays the male lead, are busy attacking the crew, the screenwriter, He Yan's family, and even the company he works for.
The fans in Liu Wangxue’s previous live broadcast room had been abused several times and had long lost hope in the series adaptation.
Half a page of the script was glimpsed in the crew selfie posted by He Yan and You Yuting. Someone posted late at night, "I didn't have any hope in the first place, but I didn't expect it to still disgust me."
From the start of filming to now, this drama has not made much of a splash on the Internet and has not attracted much attention from the majority of netizens.
However, at this moment, when Liu Wangxue was about to wash the dishes, the crew became a hot search.
"I envy He Yan (explosion)"
"He Yan's Financial Boss (Explosion)"
"You Yuting, the master of time management (explosive)"
"Director Yuan Daji is going crazy (hot)"
"He Yan changes the script (hot)"
"The screenwriter of Moonrise crew terminated the contract (hot)"
"He Yan Assistant Bullying (Hot)"
"You Yuting Sleeping Powder (Hot)"
Wow, Liu Wangxue exited the notification message and opened the hot search. There were more than ten items from top to bottom, all of them were related to the crew.
Three are “explosive”, the rest are all “hot”.
Liu Wangxue immediately put down the bowl, sat down again, and read it one by one. Soon he understood the whole process.
In the comments, apart from the fans who were whitewashing and controlling the comments, all the netizens were like wild rats jumping around in a melon field.
There were insiders who broke the news, and there was also a very thoughtful little cutie who sorted out the complete story line to share with fellow spectators.
The drama "Moon Rising over Spring Stream" was initiated by Liushi Entertainment, where He Yan works, in an attempt to take advantage of the popularity of traditional culture.
During the Spring Festival last year, the movie "The Jade Carver" directed by Meng Huadong was a box office hit as soon as it was released. It was also singled out for praise by the national TV station, calling on the public to pay attention to traditional crafts and traditional culture.
As soon as this news came out, a trend of non-traditional and non-essential products immediately emerged in the domestic entertainment industry. Companies of all sizes began to look for various IPs related to traditional culture and traditional skills.
It was at that time that Liu Wangxue's "Moon Rising over Spring Stream" was bought by Liu Shi.
Because in addition to the popular label "female protagonist" that comes with this story, the most important thing is the traditional cultural symbol "Hanfu".
A set of clothes not only carries the craftsmanship and aesthetics of dyeing, weaving and embroidery, but also inherits the country's intangible cultural heritage.
Coupled with the rise of national trends in recent years and the promotion of the media, Hanfu has repeatedly broken out of its circle, gradually entered the public's field of vision, and integrated into daily life.
Therefore, Liushi Entertainment is very optimistic about the drama "Moon Over Spring Stream" and believes that it will become a hit once it is broadcast.
Wanshu Entertainment, where You Yuting works, also took a fancy to this piece of cake and participated in the investment.
The two companies are equally strong, and the two actors are both new talents that their respective companies are promoting, so it is natural that they should play the male and female protagonists.
However, Wanshu Entertainment was very dissatisfied with the script, feeling that the female lead had too many scenes and the male lead appeared too late.
Furthermore, fans are also complaining that their brother only appeared at the end of the show, and his role is not as good as that of the supporting roles. What kind of male lead is he? I just want to ask, whose male lead is so frustrated that he is used to play supporting roles?
After Wan Shu negotiated with Liu Shi, he made major changes to the emotional line of the script so that the roles of the male and female protagonists were basically equal.
Now the fans of the You family were satisfied, but the fans of He Yan were upset.
After the script was tentatively finalized, the two companies tacitly arranged private screenwriters for their own artists and joined the group together. While ensuring that the plot is more in line with the artist's personality, it is convenient to change and add or delete at any time, with the main point that one cannot let the other side suppress oneself.
But in order to make the show a hit as soon as it was broadcast, Liushi Entertainment specially hired a reputable screenwriter from outside.
Therefore, there were three "forces" competing in the crew just for one script.
Director Yuan Daji was from another entertainment company. Because he owed a favor to the president of Liushi Entertainment in his early years, and he really wanted to shoot something related to traditional culture, he agreed to direct the film.
But after signing the contract, he found out that it was not the case at all and he was deceived.
But he himself has a somewhat soft personality. He thought that since he had already signed the contract, he might as well just sit back and finish the filming without offending anyone.
But no one would have expected that not only would these two leading actors be on the run every day, they would also be so unprofessional. They would shoot when they wanted to, and make everyone wait when they didn't want to.
The crew originally planned to shoot at the flower and bird market for a week, but because of them, they were forced to extend it by another week.
What Yuan Daji couldn't tolerate the most was that the lines were terrible and the acting was terrible, so terrible that it was impossible to support the actor.
Even if it is really a vase, it can at least hold some water, and a fresh flower can live for a few days. The two of them are vases sealed with cement, and nothing useful can be poured in! The tenacity and perseverance of the heroine and the gentleness and tolerance of the hero were all turned into "I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep" by the two of them. I don't know why those eyes, which are usually big and watery, can't be opened when they are acting!
Having a soft personality does not mean having no personality, nor does it mean having no temper. When various emotions accumulated to a certain level, Yuan Daji finally got angry.
It was the day when Liu Wangxue and the others went to the crew. In the pet shop, Xiaoci's seller, Jialin, called the crew to ask for compensation.
The honest man got angry and scared everyone. For the next few days, the crew was really quiet.
The trigger for this hot search was the addition and modification of the plot. He Yan and You Yuting had a quarrel on the spot due to their different opinions and left unhappily.
The next day, a marketing account posted photos of He Yan and Du Yunkai going to the crew's lounge together, saying that He Yan had a financial backer.
Fans of the You family immediately started digging and found He Yan’s small account on the social platform. They looked at her daily sharing and found out through clues that the “financial backer” was the founder of Jingshan Technology, Du Yunkai.
I was attracted by the short video and bought a horse face skirt. I love it so much!!!
