Beijing, a certain community Liu Shishi, who was sitting on the sofa playing with her phone, was given a glare by her mother, who was cleaning up.
"You just play around and don't help me with the work."
Liu Shishi felt wronged: "You complained that I was clumsy and scolded me for fetching water, and told me to go play. Why are you now accusing me of not working?"
"Look at you, you're angry."
Liu's mother was confident and started to nag her daughter again: "You are getting bolder and bolder. You bought a house without telling us. At your age, how can you know which house is good..."
"Oh, I haven't bought it yet. I'm still looking at it. I regret telling you."
Liu Shishi was so annoyed that after the filming in Hengdian was finished, she originally wanted to buy a house with Wei Yang, but Wei Yang became very popular and was very busy. She also had to guard against paparazzi, so she had to choose alone.
It was still stressful for Liu Shishi to choose a house worth millions, and she couldn't make up her mind.
I can only pick a few that look good, and plan to make a decision when Wei Yang has time.
She had almost finished looking at houses, and she was about to join the crew of "Goodbye, Old Times", so she went home to stay for a few days and visit her parents.
As a result, during the meal and casual conversation, she accidentally brought up the matter of buying a house. Only then did Liu's father and mother know that their daughter wanted to buy such an expensive house without saying anything, so they naturally asked a few questions.
"If I am willing to take care of you, just marry me off quickly, and I will save myself the trouble and worry."
Liu's mother was a little angry. Liu Shishi saw that something was wrong and hurried over to comfort her. She hugged her mother and acted like a spoiled child: "I was wrong, I was wrong. I won't get married. I will stay at home and take care of my mother every day."
"Then I'll make you mad."
Mother Liu gets angry quickly and loses her temper quickly. After a while, she was amused by her daughter and said unhappily, "Get out of here quickly. I'll finish this and cook."
In fact, Liu's mother also knows that she is a bit nagging. Her daughter is no longer a child. She has become famous and can make money. She works in Shanghai, so it is normal for her to buy a house.
But as parents, we always feel that our children will not grow up, and we are habitually worried. Besides, buying a house is not a trivial matter after all, and a large amount of money is involved, so I think it should be discussed with the family.
Liu's mother went to the kitchen to cook. Liu Shishi couldn't help, so she chatted with her mother. After a while, the door opened. It was Liu's father who came home.
"Dad, you came home early today."
"Well, the client had something urgent to do, so I'm leaving get off work early today."
Liu Shishi's family conditions are not bad. Her family can be considered a family of folk art. Her grandfather is a master of Xihe drum and was received by Comrade Wu Hao in those days.
Yuan Kuocheng, a famous storyteller, is the sworn brother of Liu Shishi’s grandfather. Liu Shishi has recognized him as her godfather since she was a child.
It is said that when Liu Shishi was a child, her family almost sent her to learn storytelling. Later, they felt that it was not a good career for girls, so she learned ballet. When she was in school, her family had always planned to let her become a ballet teacher, but she didn't expect that she would become a star now.
What’s more interesting is that Mr. Yuan Kuocheng and Mr. Ma Sanli are of the same generation. According to the crosstalk generation system of “De Shou Bao Wen Ming”, both of them are of the Shou generation.
Liu Shishi is equivalent to the "text generation" in the crosstalk world, which is older than the "Ming generation" of the fat black boy, not to mention his apprentice. When meeting her, he should call her "auntie".
Of course, these are all jokes. Neither Xihe drum nor storytelling are from the same school as crosstalk. Even if there is a seniority ranking, it would not be the turn of Liu Shishi, who is not from the same school.
What's more, the industry of folk art is already full of chaotic seniority, and it is normal for everyone to have their own opinions.
Perhaps because he had no talent, Liu's father did not learn folk art. He and Liu's mother used to be workers in a state-owned enterprise. Later, Liu's mother retired due to illness and became a housewife at home, and he also went into business.
Liu's father's business was not big, and he was not a wealthy businessman, but his family was well-off, so his daughter had no worries about food and clothing since childhood and had never suffered any hardship.
"It's that old Wang again. He's the hardest to serve. Wash your hands and have some food."
Although Liu's mother was at home, she still knew something about her husband's business. She complained about the tricky customers and invited her husband and daughter to dinner.
Liu Shishi curiously asked her father about the client's situation, but her father waved his hand and said, "Nothing, it's just that the price is a bit high. You won't understand even if I tell you. Let's eat."
"You're treating me like a child again."
Liu Shishi muttered in dissatisfaction, but she really didn't know much about doing business, so she planned to go back and ask Wei Yang for advice.
In her heart, Wei Yang was much better at business than her father. He made more money in just one year than her father could make in several lifetimes...
Father Liu had no idea what his daughter was thinking, otherwise he would have had a hard time eating the meal.
The Liu family has a good family atmosphere. Liu Shishi is very lively at home. The family finished their meal while chatting and laughing. Liu's father sat on the sofa, drinking tea and watching the news, while Liu's mother was knitting a sweater next to them, and Liu Shishi followed her to learn.
Liu's mother thought she was stupid: "If you want to wear it, I will knit it for you."
Liu Shishi blushed: "My own knitting is different, you can teach me, it can help me kill time when I'm bored on the set."
"You knitted something so ugly, you will definitely not want to wear it, it's a waste of wool."
When Liu's mother said this, she suddenly looked at her daughter strangely and said, "You don't want to knit for a man, do you?"
“Ahem.”
Father Liu put down his tea, turned down the volume of the TV news, and looked at Liu Shishi with burning eyes. The latter swallowed.
"There is no such thing as a man, Mom. Don't talk nonsense. Even if I knit for a man, I have to knit for my dad."
Father Liu's eyes became much gentler: "Good girl."
Liu Shishi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that since she had just started learning, it would be easy for the knitting to not look good, and Wei Yang would not be able to wear it. It would be better for her to knit two pieces for her father first to practice her skills, and then knit a good one for Wei Yang after she had practiced well.
When the news was almost over, Liu's mother looked at the time and urged Liu's father to change the channel.
"Look at Hunan TV, My Love from the Star is coming to an end today."
Liu Shishi had been home for two days and had already known that her mother was a die-hard fan of "My Love from the Star". Even her father watched it as well. He seemed indifferent and as if he was not interested in the TV series, but he was reluctant to even go to the toilet while watching the show.
To the extent that Liu Shishi was a little jealous, because when she starred in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" before, she didn't see her parents watching it so seriously.
They did watch the entire "Twinkle Twinkle Star", but the two elders had mixed feelings about the show.
On the one hand, the setting of this drama is not very friendly to them because it is a time-travel drama. On the other hand, the plot is too sad and uncomfortable to watch. Moreover, their daughter kept crying in the drama, which made the two elders feel distressed.
Unlike "My Love from the Star", the plot is bright and refreshing, with comedy elements, the setting is not complicated, and it is very friendly to the audience.
"I don't know if Professor Gu and the other one will be together in the finale. I don't even dare to watch it."
Mother Liu was very confused, and Father Liu was curious: "Didn't Shishi act in a play with that Wei...Wei Yang? Why not call and ask him?"
Liu Shishi looked innocent: "I'm not familiar with him."
In order to prevent Liu's mother from asking her questions every day, Liu Shishi defended herself and said that they were not familiar with Wei Yang, their intimacy was acted, the scandal was created by the company, and they usually didn't call each other for a month.
Liu's mother was skeptical at first, but unfortunately Liu Shishi hid it too well, and she indeed had no public interaction with Wei Yang in the past six months. Liu's mother gradually believed it, and even felt a little regretful.
"This guy is quite handsome and capable. I read in the newspaper that he made a lot of money."
“How much do you earn?”
Liu's father is a businessman and is quite sensitive about this issue. Liu's mother couldn't explain it, so she took out a newspaper from under the coffee table and gave it to Liu's father, who took a look at it.
"This guy is really amazing. He started his own company before he even graduated from college. He is worth tens of millions just from one drama. He has a bright future."
"Yeah."
Liu's mother sighed and looked at her daughter again: "You said you were filming with her and there was a scandal, why didn't you develop a relationship with her?"
“…”
Liu Shishi half-truthfully flattered herself: "He was pursuing me at the time, but I didn't like him."
"Forget it."
Liu's mother complained: "It's almost the same that people don't like you. The boy is so handsome, rich and talented."
"That's not the case. Our daughter is still very beautiful."
Liu's father came out to defend his daughter, but also said: "But men like this are really popular, and most women can't grasp them."
Liu Shishi: “…”
Why do you still look down on me? Believe it or not, I will bring Wei Yang home during the Chinese New Year and let you see how well I can handle it...
However, while feeling aggrieved, they were also secretly happy. At least in the eyes of his parents, Wei Yang had very good conditions in all aspects, even to the point that they were "unworthy" of him.
This is, of course, a fallacy.
Children are the apple of their parents’ eyes, but sometimes, parents may look down on them. After all, they are children they have raised since childhood and have seen all kinds of things on them, so there is no filter or halo for them.
Outsiders think that Liu Shishi is beautiful and has a good temperament. She is definitely a rare beauty. That's just the way her parents see her.
Similarly, Wei Yang is a young, wealthy and talented man in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of his parents, he still went to the toilet with his butt sticking up to play with shit when he was a child.
The family chatted and finally waited for the TV series to be broadcast. Liu's father and mother decisively abandoned Liu Shishi and concentrated on watching TV.
Liu Shishi was a little discouraged. It’s just a TV series. Could it be that good?
Although Liu Shishi was very supportive when "My Love from the Star" was first aired, she did not follow the show very seriously later and only watched some of it here and there.
It’s not that I think it’s not good to watch, but who would like to see their boyfriend being so sweet with another woman in a drama?
Liu Shishi doesn't have any mental illness, so she naturally won't seek out torture, especially the sweet plots in the later stages, which she basically skips or simply doesn't watch.
That was the finale of today, and she was a little curious, otherwise she would have found an excuse to go back to the house.
In order to get the data for the finale, the plots before the last two episodes consciously create anticipation and suspense.
The villain was formally arrested by the male protagonist and the police after they got evidence. However, the villain was so cruel that he had prepared a plan before that and made the female protagonist drink poisoned wine.
When the male protagonist learned the truth, he angrily pinched the other person and pressed him against the wall, but since he couldn't kill people, he couldn't do anything about the villain.
If the male protagonist doesn't expose the female protagonist, she will die. But if the male protagonist is exposed, there will be no peace between the two of them, and the male protagonist may even be in danger.
This trick is very vicious, but in order to save the heroine, the hero no longer cares about anything else. In full view of everyone, he teleports directly to where the heroine is.
The protagonist’s alien identity is revealed!
All the audience want to see how the plot develops, and coupled with the emotional line between the male and female protagonists, the attention on the finale is directly maximized.
The penultimate episode did not disappoint the audience. At the beginning, the male protagonist teleported to save the female protagonist, then teleported with the poisoned female protagonist to the hospital, used his superpowers to stop other people from watching, saved the female protagonist himself, and then took the female protagonist away.
This show was seen by many onlookers, who recorded videos and took photos. The big star’s agent/boyfriend was suspected to be a person with super powers, which instantly ignited the world in the show.
Not to mention, Liu's father and mother were very excited watching this kind of plot, even Liu Shishi found it somewhat interesting.
From this third-person perspective, long-held secrets that only a few people knew finally came to light, shocking everyone and creating a sense of release.
She even extended the association to herself and Wei Yang. If one day, the two of them officially announced their relationship, it would probably cause a sensation...
Read the original text at Liu#9@书/吧!
The drama caused a sensation and excited the audience, but after the hero and heroine in the drama dealt with the villain, they instead looked for a remote resort to spend their final time together.
The plot and dialogue between the male and female protagonists are sweet and a little sad about the confused future, while still being funny.
While eating, the heroine Fan Qianqian fantasized carelessly: "How many children do you think we should have?"
Professor Gu almost choked to death on his food, while Fan Qianqian said with great interest: "How about seven of them? Each of them will inherit your money ability. The oldest will have great strength, the second will have clairvoyance and super hearing, and the third will be indestructible..."
Professor Gu was speechless: "You have watched Calabash Brothers too much. The state has family planning regulations."
Fan Qianqian was dissatisfied: "You are an alien, do you have to obey it?"
Professor Gu gave a very positive answer: "I am a Chinese citizen. Even if I am an alien, I am a Chinese alien and I must abide by the law."
“…”
This joke made the three members of the Liu family laugh. Professor Gu is set up in the film to be very knowledgeable about the law, but it is always very interesting to see an alien discussing family planning in a serious manner.
The subsequent plot is mixed with the special department, but it only touches on the subject, making it clear who the hero is, and then it becomes the funny daily life with the heroine's family.
This is also one of the main selling points of this drama, that is, it is very down-to-earth.
Aliens and big stars are positioned by identity, but when they interact with each other in private, they are more like "humans". They don't put on airs and even have a lot of jokes, which makes them look friendly to the audience.
For example, the bickering and jealousy between the heroine and her younger brother, and the love-hate relationship between the heroine's mother and the heroine, all look funny and real.
Even when Liu Shishi saw the heroine's mother scolding the heroine, she almost said the same thing, but the desire to survive from the bottom of her heart stopped her from thinking of suicide.
The pleasant plot flashed by, and soon, as the time of leaving the earth got closer, the protagonist's condition became worse and worse, and he even had side effects such as bleeding, coma, weakness, and temporary failure of super powers.
It's finally time to show our resolve and leave.
The heroine also realized this, so she asked the hero to come to her home, set up a very romantic scene, and then played a video proposing to the hero.
She knew that the male protagonist was afraid of delaying her and had never dared to make any promises, so she chose to propose to him.
The male protagonist was moved to tears and confessed his love to the female protagonist for the first time when she was conscious. Mother Liu's eyes were filled with tears. Although Father Liu did not cry, he was somewhat emotional.
Liu Shishi's emotions were more complicated. Although this scene was very touching, she was even a little moved.
But looking at Wei Yang's face, and how affectionate he was to Fatty Fan, even if she was crying, it was definitely out of anger...
Then the plot reached the last episode, and the hero and heroine expressed their feelings on the rooftop in various ways, and choked with tears while giving instructions to each other. The emotion of being in love but having to separate tortured the audience to death.
While wiping away tears, Liu's mother cursed the screenwriter for being heartless: "Are they really going to separate? Why is it arranged like this? Oh, I'm so angry."
She even asked Liu Shishi for Wei Yang's phone number: "Give me Wei Yang's phone number later, and I'll have a good talk with him. We can't bully the audience like this. Let's see if we can change the ending."
Liu Shishi: “…”
Her own mother separated from her son-in-law because of another woman, and she asked her daughter for her son-in-law's phone number to seek justice. She was so upset...
"Isn't this the end yet? This episode has just begun, there is more to come. Didn't Professor Gu say he would find a way to come back?"
After much persuasion, my mother was persuaded and the family continued watching the story. The timeline was instantly pushed back three years.
The heroine, who was originally in career trouble, has returned to the top and even reached a higher level in her career, but during this period, she still misses the hero all the time.
She even often sees some male protagonists, and then waits for her to go find them, only to find that it is often just her fantasy.
Others advised her to move on, but she remained firm that the male protagonist was by her side. Although they could not meet now, he would return to Earth to find her one day, and that would be a good thing for both parties.
After some side plots, the stories of other supporting characters were explained, and then there was the reunion scene that the crew filmed when the film was completed.
On the red carpet, the male protagonist appears, attracting everyone's attention. Time stops, the world becomes quiet, the two talk to each other, then kiss, their super powers disappear, and all the reporters take pictures frantically.
When the filming was completed, the dryness of the shooting was not noticeable, but after using special effects, editing, music and other aspects of the production, the final product was very romantic and shocking.
At least Liu's mother and father were all very pleased and had smiles on their faces. Liu's mother even expressed her sincere emotion.
"A handsome man and a beautiful woman, they are a perfect match."
Father Liu couldn't help but nod: "They do look like a good match."
Liu Shishi's first reaction was to think about how her parents would feel if Wei Yang came to their house. Her second reaction was mixed emotions. Her boyfriend cheated on her in front of her parents, and her parents still praised him. She really wanted to go back to Shanghai and bite Wei Yang to death.
The final ending was also explained after this scene. Fan Xiaopang did not lie at the beginning, and the reunion was not the last scene of this play.
After a brief kiss, Professor Gu disappeared again. After several reunions and disappearances, everyone finally understood what was going on.
Although Professor Gu tried to find a way to return to Earth, the time he came back was not fixed each time, and he could not stay for too long, so the two of them started a "straight-planet love".
However, with Professor Gu's continuous efforts, he is staying longer and longer, and he believes that one day in the future he will stay on Earth forever.
The finale!
Watching the ending song, Liu's mother felt a little unsatisfied, but at the same time she was very satisfied with the perfect ending. She even pulled Liu's father and Liu Shishi aside to discuss the plot.
Finally, he told Liu Shishi: "Go online and see if there are any CDs for sale. Buy a set and I will watch it again at home."
"I've already seen it, what's the point of watching it again?"
Liu Shishi was a little jealous, but her mother disagreed: "This drama is good. It's great to watch it to relieve boredom. I haven't watched all the previous episodes yet, and I'm not very good at using computers, so it's more convenient to watch the DVD."
Father Liu also agreed, then remembered something and asked another question.
"You said you're not familiar with Wei Yang, but can you strike up a conversation with him? I remember that the client, Lao Wang's daughter, really likes him. This guy is a daughter slave. If you can get an autograph or something, maybe this deal will be easier to negotiate."
What could Liu Shishi say: "Leave it to me. We still have some friendship."
“Ahem.”
Mother Liu coughed lightly, pulled her daughter aside and whispered, "Please ask for a few for me, too. Your Aunt Zhang and others like him very much."
Liu Shishi: “…”
She couldn't imagine how her mother felt after she found out that Wei Yang was her son-in-law...
…
The finale of "My Love from the Star" ended perfectly.
As of the finale, the drama had an average viewership of 5.47, with the highest daily viewership exceeding 11. The two satellite TV stations together captured more than 30% of the market share.
This result can no longer be called hot, but terrifyingly crazy! At the same time, "My Love from the Star" also won the 2009 satellite TV ratings championship without any suspense.
Strictly speaking, if it weren't for CCTV's different statistical methods and coverage, this drama would have a very good chance of defeating "Going West" and winning the annual national championship.
However, although the data is "slightly inferior", no one would think that "My Love from the Star" will not be as popular as "Going West".
Just like "Bright Sword" and "Wulin Waijia" in the previous two years, "My Love from the Star" has truly become a nationwide hit, with impressive ratings and a huge amount of discussion.
If other hit dramas are phenomenal, this drama is likely to be promoted to the national level.
In Wei Yang's personal classification, a phenomenal drama is one that is extremely popular for a while, has extremely strong data and discussion, and there are several or even more such dramas every year.
Taking this year's dramas as an example, no matter how many criticisms there were of the summer drama "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together", it was indeed very popular.
National-level TV dramas have a much greater influence, are well-known to every household, are enduring, and are even listed as classics, becoming milestones in the genre, recorded in film history, and the memory of a generation of viewers.
The threshold for this level is definitely higher. If it is more demanding, it may take one or two years or even longer to produce one or two films.
In Wei Yang's mind, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" should be considered a national-level title in the future, and "The Disguiser" also has a chance.
"My Captain, My Regiment", "Twinkle Twinkle Star" and "Going West" are indeed excellent, but overall, there is still a certain gap between them and the national level.
The popularity data of "My Love from the Star" is fine, and its reputation is also good. It won a Douban score of 8.8 thanks to its popularity. With the added sentiment in the future, it is likely to continue to rise.
No matter from which aspect you look at it, it is the ceiling of modern idol dramas and even the entire idol drama genre.
The subsequent replay rate will be increased, which will continuously deepen the impression and expand the influence. Once a long-tail effect is formed, "My Love from the Star" may really have a chance to become a national hit.
When people look back in a few years, 2009 will be an extremely brilliant year for Chinese TV dramas.
This year, there is the representative spy drama "Lurking"! This year, there is "Walking West" which broke CCTV's record of opening dramas for many years! This year, there is the classic war drama "My Captain, My Regiment"! This year, there is the main theme word-of-mouth masterpiece "The Right Path in the World is Vicissitudes"! This year, there is "Twinkle Twinkle Star" which set off a wave of time travel! This year , there is the peak of ancient idol drama "Chinese Paladin 3"! This year, there is also the peak of modern idol drama "My Love from the Star"! And the name Wei Yang, with the following works, successfully wrote a bold and colorful stroke in this period of film and television history...…
