Chapter 193 Sohu Live, Black and Red are also Red



Wei Yang, Nie Yuan and the two beauties from Xinjiang province are still the main promoters of "Eastern Palace". The first two are famous, and the latter two are beautiful and highly promoted.

After checking the time in the script, when the time was almost right, the live broadcast room lifted the restrictions and allowed netizens to enter.

It was expected that they would wait for netizens for about ten minutes before officially starting the live broadcast. However, less than half of the time had passed when the director started to panic.

The number of people watching the live broadcast online has exceeded the upper limit and the server has crashed. We are now rushing to repair it and the live broadcast has been temporarily postponed.

Upon hearing the news, even the hosts Dapeng and Liu Yan, who were used to such scenes, were stunned.

Nie Yuan couldn't help but wonder: "How many people can this live broadcast room usually accommodate?"

"Under normal circumstances, two or three hundred thousand should be no problem."

Liu Yan replied, then looked at Wei Yang and said faintly: "We have made similar expectations before, so we upgraded the server. The live broadcast room should accommodate more people than usual, but I didn't expect that it still couldn't escape."

Dapeng couldn't help but praise him. Not long ago, Liu Tianwang and Li Bingbing also did a live broadcast on Sohu to promote "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame", but their popularity was not as "explosive" as Wei Yang's.

Wei Yang smiled without saying anything. In terms of status alone, he might not be as good as the two of them, but if it comes to popularity and fame, there are really not many people in the entertainment industry who can compete with him.

Due to server problems, the live interview was delayed for more than half an hour before it returned to normal.

The camera turned on, Dapeng and Liu Yan first apologized to the audience for what had just happened, and then introduced the guests.

After a brief greeting, the formal interview on "Eastern Palace" began.

"I heard that the original choice for the female lead of "Eastern Palace" was not Naza?"

Wei Yang nodded and explained: "In fact, our original target was Sister Bingbing. We reached a cooperation agreement at that time, but later due to various reasons, it was not finally realized..."

This kind of question is actually more or less exaggerated. They just pull in a few celebrities to stir up the hype and give that guy a sense of presence.

It’s not that Wei Yang lied. In the beginning of "Eastern Palace", he did think about looking for Fan Xiaopang, but he exaggerated the progress.

"...Our assistant director and management team visited dance troupes, drama troupes, and art schools in Xinjiang and Northwest China, and inspected hundreds of girls. We finally chose Rouba and Nazha...They both went through half a year of training and worked hard for their roles...We struggled for a long time and felt that Nazha looked more heroic, so we finally let her play Qu Xiaofeng..."

Boss Wei lied without blinking an eye. He named these two men and took them down without any effort.

But now, in his words, the two beauties of Xinjiang Province are Blue Whale and "Eastern Palace" crew, two unpolished gems carefully selected from hundreds of ethnic minority beauties after untold hardships, and their grade has been raised immediately.

In addition, Wei Yang stressed that the casting was difficult, and Naza won by a narrow margin, which also raised Rouba to a certain extent and continued to tie up the two.

If Nazha becomes popular because of “Eastern Palace”, she will have to promote Rouba. Similarly, if Rouba has any opportunities in the future, he can also give back to Nazha.

Not only can they help each other, but they can also form a group effect, which is also the most cost-effective operating strategy for Blue Whale.

Wei Yang was intent on promoting newcomers, and half of his answers were directed at Naza and Rouba, though he inevitably talked about his own role as well.

"...We have also made some adaptations to some of the plots in the original novel of "Eastern Palace", and have increased the proportion of political intrigue to a certain extent. The setting of the male protagonist Li Chengyin may be more...mature than the original..."

"...Compared to the roles I played before, Li Chengyin is very scheming and not even the traditional infatuated male protagonist. This is a breakthrough and challenge for me. When I wanted to play this role, I didn't want to limit myself..."

"...I don't deliberately pursue tragedy. I'm more concerned about whether the story is exciting or not. The ending of "My Love from the Star" is very happy. The next one I filmed, "My Sweetheart", also has a light-hearted and cheerful plot. I may also film another exciting drama this year..."

“…”

As the well-deserved C position, Wei Yang alone took up almost 2/3 of the interview time. There was no other way, as most people came for him. Who else would they interview if not him?

Of course, they couldn't let Nie Yuan and his friends come here for nothing, so the remaining 1/3 of the time was divided among the three of them.

Nie Yuan and Rouba talked in a standard manner, mostly discussing the characters and some behind-the-scenes stories of the crew.

The same is true for Naza, but it can be seen that Dapeng and Liu Yan both want to dig up some explosive information from her.

"During the filming process, did you ever fall in love with Wei Yang?"

Naza glanced at Wei Yang, hesitated for a moment, and nodded firmly: "Yes."

Liu Yan is very good at grasping the key points: "Is it because of the drama that you fell in love, or is it because of something in real life that you were moved by it?"

Naza responded simply: "Both."

Everyone looked at Wei Yang, who was very calm: "After all, Naza is still young, and it's her first time filming a movie. It's easy for her to get caught up in it and not be able to tell some things apart. This is quite common in this circle. Just calm down and get out of the role."

Rouba also helped to smooth things over: "In fact, during the filming process, the boss helped us a lot in work and life, and sometimes it is inevitable that we will feel a little dependent on him."

Naza finally realized that he seemed to have said something wrong and said a few words along the lines of Rouba.

But she could no longer hide the fact that she fell in love with Wei Yang while filming "Eastern Palace".

But if Nazha does this, she will probably become a thorn in the eyes of many people, and will also be easily attacked by Wei Yang's fans, who will think that she is a scheming hype woman.

Given Wei Yang's popularity, being involved in a scandal with him would be a huge exposure for many female stars.

Especially for a newcomer like Nazha, at the opening ceremony of "Eastern Palace", her impulsive words were regarded by many as deliberate hype to get ahead, and all kinds of negative information was dug up about her and she was criticized.

Even in the eyes of many people, Naza has risen to the top through unspoken rules and has long been employed by Boss Wei. Now he is just taking advantage of the situation.

In any case, it is foreseeable that after this live broadcast, Naza will probably be subject to a lot of controversy again.

But Boss Wei has gotten used to it. Nazha's character is a "true personality", which some people like while others dislike. He has even prepared for Nazha to take the black and red route.

Black and red are also red!

Naza is actually quite suitable for this route. Her personality is not that tough, but she is somewhat heartless and doesn't take anything to heart. Negative public opinion can't easily crush her.

Maybe she won't have a comeback story like Fan Xiaopang, Da Mimi, and Xiao Zhao, where "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger", but sincerity is sometimes a killer move.

This kind of person might even develop feelings for you after you continue to criticize him, or even start to like him, and then turn from a hater to a fan...

After the live interview ended, more than ten minutes were reserved for Wei Yang and others to answer some selected questions from the audience in the live broadcast room.

These questions have received a lot of likes in the live broadcast room and are what the audience is happy to know.

[How can I make as much money as you do? Do you have any secrets of success to recommend to young people? ]

“I really can’t teach you how to make money, and what I know may not be suitable for you. If I really want to give you a suggestion, I suggest you buy a house. I am personally optimistic about the domestic housing market in the next ten years.

As for the secret... To be honest, I am just a fresh graduate, not yet qualified to be a teacher. If I am not bankrupt in 20 years, I may have the confidence to share it..."

[Which actress do you think is the most beautiful among those you have worked with? 】

"It's a bit offensive... I think I answered this before in Korea. At that time, I chose Bingbing sister. It's the same this time."

But Wei Yang immediately added: "But Shishi, Tangtang, Liying, Nazha, Rouba, and Rongjie are also very beautiful..."

[Who is the actor and director you most want to work with? 】

"As for actors, Li Xuejian and Liang Jiahui are both actors I like and admire very much. I am looking forward to working with them one day. I can't offend the director anymore. As long as the director is willing to use me, that's fine (laughs)."

Many of the questions asked by netizens were quite bold, and Wei Yang tried his best to answer them appropriately.

After all, judging by the ability of those netizens in later generations to dig up past events, the truth might be unearthed someday, so you have to be prudent when answering questions and never cross the red line.

This has also caused dissatisfaction among some extreme fans and netizens, who believe that Wei Yang has a smooth personality, is a talented man, but lacks the spirit of a scholar, is too timid, and has too much of a smell for money.

In contrast, Han Han, another well-known talent born in the 1980s, is willing to be a representative of public opinion, bravely speak up and criticize current social ills.

Boss Wei said that although Han Han is so awesome now and is known as an opinion leader, he will act like a grandson every day in a few years. To put it bluntly, if Han Han had no one to protect him, some of his early remarks and opinions would have been banned eight hundred times.

There is nothing wrong with Wei Yang himself, so there is no need for him to create something to use against himself.

There is nothing wrong with being true, but truth often comes at a price...

Finally, the live broadcast on Sohu.com ended, and Wei Yang breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of live broadcast has good effects, but it also brings a lot of pressure. If he said something wrong or made a mistake, there would be no chance to make up for it.

As the host, Wei Yang invited the two hosts and Sohu team members to dinner.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, the Sohu group prepared to go back to the hotel. Wei Yang stopped Liu Yan and asked for her contact information.

Liu Yan was a little surprised, but she readily took out her cell phone and exchanged numbers with Wei Yang.

Wei Yang waved goodbye and sent Liu Yan and her group away. Turning around, he saw Nazha and Rouba looking at him with burning eyes, one angry and the other resentful.

“…”

Wei Yang was helpless: "I said I wanted her phone number because I thought there was a role that was suitable for her later and I was planning to contact her later. Do you believe me?"

Naza and Rouba looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. Wei Yang couldn't help but sigh.

What's wrong with this indifferent society? Shouldn't there be more trust between people?
