Wei Yang did not interfere in Li Jiahang's love affair.
Mainly, he looked at the chat records between the two and found that they were chatting quite enthusiastically. Li Sheng might be more accustomed to Li Jiahang's "simplicity". Although she didn't express love, she didn't express disgust either. The relationship has been in a stage of tug-of-war.
Wei Yang and Li Sheng didn't know each other and had no idea of the situation, so they were afraid of making an effort to assist others hastily, fearing that their cleverness might backfire.
Anyway, since Li Jiahang could handle Li Sheng in his previous life, he should have no problem in this life. At most, he can just help out by playing a supporting role, and when they get to know each other better in the future, he can prescribe the right medicine.
Li Jiahang didn't care either. Due to Boss Wei's lifestyle, he always felt that Boss Wei's tactics were too "frivolous" and did not reflect his sincerity.
But he was a little confused because Liu Shishi's attitude towards him was obviously cold. Every time he chatted with Wei Yang, she was watching from the side.
Li Jiahang felt a little awkward, so he took advantage of Liu Shishi's absence to find Wei Yang to chat and play. He felt relaxed, but he didn't notice that Rouba's eyes were looking at him more and more resentful and even angry.
In the main hall, Emperor Qing and all the officials were seated. Wei Yang, who had just drunk a lot of wine and recited hundreds of poems, came drunkenly to teacher Xu Huanshan who came to make a guest appearance.
The latter plays the role of Zhuang Mohan, a great literary figure in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Seeing this young man speak eloquently, the literary master couldn't help but show shock and a bit of guilt on his face.
This scene tells the story of the hero Fan Xian who participated in a poetry reading and recited Du Fu's "Climbing the High Tower", becoming famous in Qing State.
Although the hero claimed that he was just reciting the poem, since no one claimed it, it was believed to be written by him.
However, since the artistic conception of the poem does not match his age, many people have raised doubts.
The villain Princess had a conflict with Fan Xian, so she took advantage of Zhuang Mohan's weakness and asked the enemy country's literary master to come and expose the fake poem, saying that the poem was written by her own teacher. In this way, Fan Xian, a talented man from the Kingdom of Qing, was embarrassed. As it involved a state banquet and plagiarism, Fan Xian would definitely become infamous.
Facing the coercion of the princess and her gang, Fan Xian disdained Zhuang Mohan's claim to "Climbing the High Tower". He drank wine and recited poems, drinking hundreds of poems and shocking the whole audience.
After reciting the poem, he came to Zhuang Mohan with sleepy eyes and gave him a heart-breaking blow with contempt.
"I can't explain the scriptures, but you can't recite poems."
"I can't be a great writer, and you can't be a human being."
After saying that, Wei Yang fell on his back, muttering, "I'm drunk and want to sleep, you can go away, go to hell..."
Zhuang Mohan felt ashamed and regretful. He dropped his wine glass, vomited blood, and fell on the table, causing panic in the whole hall.
"Okay, passed!"
Director Kong Sheng shouted, and Xu Huanshan, who was lying on the table and vomiting blood, stood up with a smile. Wei Yang took a while to sit up.
It was Li Jiahang and Lin Gengxin who were inside the hall who helped Wei Yang up. The drunken look on Wei Yang's face just now was half acting and half real drinking.
In order to capture the image of a drunken, unrestrained and carefree state, Wei Yang drank two bottles of Erguotou and a large bottle of red wine before filming, and only then did he manage to create a slightly tipsy state.
"How about it?"
"It's okay, just a little sleepy."
Wei Yang wiped his face and sobered up, then watched the playback behind the monitor and discussed the filming with director Kong Sheng.
Chen Baoguo strolled over with the dragon robe in his arms, looked at Wei Yang several times, and then looked at Li Jiahang hesitantly.
"Did he really drink two kilograms of Erguotou and a bottle of red wine?"
"Not only that, I drank quite a bit at noon, otherwise I wouldn't be so sleepy. Normally, this amount of alcohol is just enough to warm me up."
"Wow, this is a wine jar."
Chen Baoguo couldn't help but sigh that it is normal for actors to drink some wine to get into the right state when filming drunken scenes, as long as they don't drink too much and delay the filming.
But for someone like Wei Yang, who drank several kilograms of liquor in one breath and still felt it was not enough, and who could still act normally and communicate soberly, it really opened his eyes.
He opened his eyes and watched the replay on the monitor, but Wei Yang was still not satisfied.
This scene is one of the biggest climaxes of the whole drama, but his performance was a bit too restrained.
"Is there any more wine? Another bottle."
"No, no, no."
Kong Sheng was really afraid that Wei Yang would get into trouble after drinking, so he pointed at the replay clips to discuss with him.
"There's no problem with the rest of the scene just now. The main thing is that the poem recitation needs to be more bold and majestic. This will create a contrast with Fan Xian's desolation and loneliness later on, creating an emotional impact."
"Then let's recite the poem again."
Wei Yang didn't say anything, and Kong Sheng arranged the actors' positions. Most of the other shots had already been shot, and the main focus was on Wei Yang's close-up, so it was not troublesome.
The makeup artist came over to touch up Wei Yang's makeup. Wei Yang asked Wei Fei to get him some wine, and he drank half a bottle of Erguotou himself, then poured the rest of the wine into the wine jug prop.
Then he sat there and gathered his emotions. After more than ten minutes, he made a gesture to Kong Sheng.
The camera was turned on and Li Jiahang, who played the villain, delivered a line.
Wei Yang lifted the jar of wine and took a sip, then threw it aside. He then staggered slightly to the center of the hall, glanced at the eldest princess sarcastically, then looked around, pointed to the sky with one hand, and his voice shook the entire hall.
"Have you not seen that the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns..."
"The river flows eastward, the waves wash away all the heroes of the ages..."
"Last night the rain was light and the wind was strong, I couldn't sleep off the hangover..."
The drinking contest is one of the highlights of the drama "Joy of Life".
In terms of the plot, the villain's conspiracy was smashed and he was slapped in the face. In terms of momentum, the thousands of years of Chinese civilization crushed him, which was very powerful.
At the same time, it is also a shaping of Fan Xian's character. Hundreds of poems may be shocking to others, but for Fan Xian, a visitor from an "other world", he is also a person in a strange land, and no one understands his loneliness and pain.
This scene in the original drama is handled much better than the original novel of "Joy of Life".
There is no need to talk about the principle issue of writing and reciting poems. Online novels have to focus on the excitement, while TV dramas have to take into account the impact. Therefore, Fan Xian always recites poems in the play and has the right to say "You can't be a human being."
In addition, the TV series' arrangement of rhythm and verses is also more unique.
This is understandable. After all, novels are serialized every day, and once a chapter is written, the details are definitely not as good as the scripts that are revised over and over again and the TV series that are shot using various techniques.
The original novel is just reciting poems all at once, but the script has made arrangements in the order of the verses, which not only enhances the emotional rhythm but also makes it more emotional.
The opening piece, "Song of the Wine", is majestic and dominates the whole scene, while the last piece, "Song of Climbing the Tower in Youzhou", concludes with a clear theme and full of artistic conception.
At the same time, the combination of TV drama shooting, photography, editing, character setting, lines, vocal music and other techniques makes people have a stronger sense of picture and feel all kinds of details, which is also the advantage of film and television.
It is no exaggeration to say that in front of everyone in the hall, Wei Yang was drinking and reciting poems by himself, listening to those poems that would go down in history being uttered one by one from his own mouth.
Perhaps he was immersed in the play, or maybe he was a little sentimental after drinking too much, or maybe he felt like he was moved to tears by the poems and the poet.
Finally, Wei Yang drank, beat drums, wrote wildly, walked around the hall, and recited dozens of poems in a heroic and unrestrained manner.
He stopped, stood up and looked up, facing the camera, his eyes were desolate, and he recited the last sentence in a sad voice.
"I see no ancients in front of me, and no future generations behind me. Thinking of the vastness of the universe, I shed tears alone..."
"Perfect!"
Kong Sheng shouted, and Wei Yang was still a little dazed. When Li Jiahang rushed over with a smile, he raised the wine jug and took another sip, smiling.
"Even if I can't be Li Bai in this life, it's not in vain to have such a play."
"Cool!"

…
People get drunk even if the wine doesn't make them drunk. Wei Yang got drunk for once that day. After the performance, he became drowsy and was carried to the hotel.
Fortunately, his previous scenes had been filmed almost completely, so even if there were some minor omissions, he could just add a few close-ups later.
The next day, Wei Yang got up, his head still a little swollen and dizzy. He looked at himself naked and checked himself nervously.
Don't let anyone take advantage of you! It's okay for women, but not for men!
Just as he was looking around, the door opened and Liu Shishi came in with two lunch boxes. She laughed when she saw Wei Yang quickly wrap himself with a thin blanket.
"It just so happens that I bought the porridge while it's still hot."
"Who sent me here last night?"
"Li Jiahang and the others, don't worry, I'm here with you, and I took off your clothes. You're sleeping like a dead pig, and I'm so tired."
It would have been fine before, but now Liu Shishi is worried about those men, so when she heard that Wei Yang was drunk, she came over to take care of him personally.
"That's good."
Wei Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Shishi reminded him not to drink so much in the future. She had never seen Wei Yang so drunk before.
"It's not wine, it's poetry."
Wei Yang excitedly shared his feelings last night with Liu Shishi. Liu Shishi didn't quite understand, but was a little surprised that Wei Yang could recite not only poems but also temperament.
"I thought you only cared about making money."
"What are you talking about? I am also an artistic youth."
Although Wei Yang considers himself a vulgar man, he is experienced and has been tainted with the money-grubbing habits of many businessmen after his rebirth, but he is not vulgar to the core and is sometimes moved by some things.
"Okay, you are the most artistic, you are the representative of Douban's artistic field, the porridge is getting cold, let's eat."
Liu Shishi herself is not an artistic young woman, and she doesn't care whether Wei Yang is artistic and realistic or not. Instead, she is more concerned about his health. He drank so much last night and didn't eat, so his stomach was upset.
Wei Yang attached great importance to his physical health. He obediently took the bowl to drink porridge. Liu Shishi held her face with both hands and watched him eat. Suddenly, she remembered something.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet?"
Wei Yang was puzzled: "Congratulations on what?"
"This year's Magnolia Award nominations have just come out, and you've been nominated for Best Actor for your performance in 'Eastern Palace'."
Liu Shishi took out her cell phone and showed him the news. Wei Yang glanced at it and continued to drink his porridge calmly.
"Aren't you surprised?"
Liu Shishi was a little confused. This was the Magnolia Award, and its influence had been increasing in the past two years. Although it was slightly inferior to the Golden Eagle and Feitian Awards, its gold content was no joke.
Wei Yang smiled and said, "You forgot where "Eastern Palace" was broadcast. I would be surprised if it wasn't shortlisted."
If the Hunan TV station is behind the Golden Eagle Awards, then although the Shanghai TV station is not the only one behind the Magnolia Awards, its voice is also significant.
The Zhenhua trilogy previously broadcast on Shanghai TV was nominated for many Magnolia Awards, although it never won any, it does show something.
"The East Palace" is the best-performing drama on Shanghai TV in all these years, with high ratings and good reputation.
If we still can’t make the finals, there’s no point in holding the Magnolia Awards in Shanghai.
"Then can you win the Best Actor Award?"
Liu Shishi was somewhat expectant. Wei Yang had won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor before. If he could win the Magnolia Award as well, he would only need one more Flying Apsara Award to complete the Best Actor Grand Slam.
“There is hope, but not much.”
Wei Yang is very capable. The Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor is a combination of wholesale and popularity. Wei Yang won the award because of the right time, right place and right people. Although the Magnolia Award for Best Actor and Best Actress also takes the performance of the TV series into consideration, the performance of the actor himself is the most critical.
Although Wei Yang's performance in "Eastern Palace" is not bad, the other nominees are not just there to do it.
The most important thing is that he has too little experience, is young, has a handsome appearance and is more of an idol with traffic, and his acting skills do not have an overwhelming advantage. He is not the talented actor that everyone thinks he is.
The last time he won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor, there was a lot of controversy, so it is inevitable that he will have some concerns about the Magnolia Award.
"It's okay. Being shortlisted is also a kind of recognition."
Liu Shishi tried to comfort him gently, but couldn't help but wonder who Wei Yang thought would win the Best Actor and Best Actress awards.
Wei Yang recalled the list and commented venomously: "It's hard to say who got it, but it can't be your best friend."
That’s right, Liu Shishi’s good friend Da Mimi was also nominated for this year’s Magnolia Best Actress Award for her role in “Palace”.
Wei Yang didn't know who had done this for her, but she could imagine that since this typical idol Mary Sue could be nominated for Best Actress, the public opinion would probably be huge.
For this point, he was quite grateful to Da Mimi for bravely standing up and taking the heat for him, otherwise, the one being hotly discussed would probably be him, the most popular star...
