This is another house Wei Yang bought in Hengdian. Except that it is directly opposite to Jiangnan Huayuan where Liu Shishi lives, other conditions are almost the same.

Xiao Zhao, who had a rare leave from "Chef Fang in Huajian", cooked four dishes and a soup for Wei Yang to celebrate his success.

"Well, you really worked hard. Your skills have improved a lot."

Wei Yang took a bite of the shrimp in tomato sauce and couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Xiao Zhao's cooking skills were not as good as his before, but now they are very close.

At least as far as this dish is concerned, even if he makes it himself, it is unlikely to be better than Xiao Zhao's.

"Eat more if it tastes good."

Xiao Zhao was very happy to hear the compliment. During the filming of "Chef Fang in Huajian", her cooking skills improved the most.

Because a very important element of this drama is food, and there are a lot of cooking scenes.

Even though the crew took the trouble to find a female chef with a similar hand shape as her stand-in, it would have been better if she could take charge of some of the shots herself.

So before filming began, Xiao Zhao signed up for a cooking class, and after filming began, he often learned from the female chef who was with the crew.

She already had some basic skills, at least she had no problem cooking normally. After intensive training, except for close-ups which were given to the chefs, she was basically responsible for the medium and long shots, and her cooking skills also improved greatly.

This shrimp in tomato sauce and several other dishes are her specialties, so her cooking level is naturally quite good.

Watching Xiao Zhao serving him soup, Wei Yang seemed a little thoughtful.

The heroine of "Come on, My Love" is a foodie. She never stopped talking throughout the entire show. After filming this show, Xiao Zhao gained several pounds.

In the later episodes, you can even see that her face has become a little rounder, so a special segment was added to the drama where the heroine is fed fat by the hero and vows to lose weight.

Not to mention the heroine of "Chef Fang in Huajian", who is proficient in cooking, a gourmet, and loves to cook and eat.

Both of the two dramas this year are related to "eating", and Zhao herself has a small round face. I'm afraid that even without marketing, she will be labeled as a "foodie".

In fact, the character of a foodie is a good one, otherwise so many celebrities wouldn’t follow suit.

Most people love to eat. They like food, which can bring people closer together and make them feel more intimate. In the simple values ​​of the older generation of Chinese people, being able to eat is a blessing, and loving to eat seems innocent, making people feel cute and simple.

At the same time, the so-called "eating a lot without getting fat" is also the dream physique of many people, especially girls.

Therefore, this kind of person is harmless to humans and animals, suitable for all ages, has a low threshold and a wide audience, so he will be favored by some celebrities who want to narrow the distance between fans and expand their popularity among passers-by.

In his previous life, Xiao Zhao should have been an artist who started to create a foodie persona relatively early on, and a big reason for this was because of “Come on, Mr. Shu”.

The simple foodie personality of the heroine Xue Shanshan is very likable, close to the role, and able to gain the maximum benefit from the role.

Since the later "The Journey of Flower", Xiao Zhao has also consciously used this character. The Journey of Flower in the play is also a foodie, or in other words, many female characters at that time would add some similar settings to show that the heroine is simple and harmless.

However, the real situation of Xiao Zhao is not that he doesn’t like to eat, but he does not have a big appetite, and he definitely does not have the physique of “eating a lot without gaining weight”.

According to Wei Yang, Fan Xiaopang, Dilirouba and Da Mimi, who also have the image of foodies, are usually very careful about their diet and don't dare to be unrestrained.

Wei Yang didn't know whether there were people like him who could eat a lot but never gain weight in the circle.

But even he himself doesn't dare to guarantee this. His metabolism is pretty good and he has never been fat, but he still pays attention to his diet and strengthens exercise.

From a practical perspective, he does not recommend that Xiao Zhao pursue the character of a foodie, but if these two dramas are broadcast, it will be difficult for Xiao Zhao not to be associated with this character.

Most people imagine stars through their roles.

For example, although Wei Yang has a bad reputation, because he has played many infatuated roles, many people still unconsciously distinguish him from simple scumbags.

I think he is just sentimental, a bit like Jia Baoyu, who falls in love with every girl he meets. Although he is a bit of a scumbag, he really loves every girl.

There is even a saying that the reason why Wei Yang is so romantic is because he has been hurt in a relationship.

Otherwise, why has he played so many roles of secret love or unrequited love, and played them so well? He must have had similar experiences and been badly hurt, so he uses the image of a playboy and a playboy to cover up his emotional pain.

How to say it, even Wei Yang himself feels that this kind of association is too outrageous to whitewash, but it still has a certain market.

In addition to the fans' self-imagination, it is largely because Wei Yang has too many affectionate characters.

Even Li Chengyin in "Eastern Palace", who is known as a scumbag, many people think that he cares more about the country rather than not loving the heroine. There are many people who hate and despise him, but there are even more people who like and support him.

Therefore, with such a thick halo filter, it is inevitable that people always think positively of Wei Yang’s fickleness.

I think Wei Yang is passionate but not promiscuous, romantic but not vulgar...

Another similar example is Fan Xiaopang, who relied on the bonus of her role in "My Love from the Star" to change her reputation in one fell swoop, from a scheming vixen to a national goddess with beautiful appearance and cheerful heart.

This kind of character filter is of great help to artists, especially unknown artists like Xiao Zhao. The opportunity to be remembered should not be wasted.

Wei Yang took a sip of the kelp and pork ribs soup, pondering the possibilities.

In fact, it’s not impossible for Xiao Zhao to follow the foodie route. If you can eat, you are a foodie. If you love to eat, you are also a foodie.

A foodie who loves to eat but can't eat, gets fat when eating, but can't control his mouth is also down-to-earth, and is similar to the character in the drama "Come, My Love".

As long as you get rid of the criticism of "eating a lot but not gaining weight", you can still create a foodie persona.

Liu Shishi has a similar approach. She loves to eat but keeps exercising. She is cute and self-disciplined, and still has many fans who like her.

Looking at Xiao Zhao, who only drank the soup and didn't eat much meat, but couldn't help but glance at the braised pork on the plate, Wei Yang smiled and thought that she could discuss the packaging plan with her team.

After finishing the meal, the two cleaned up together, and then Xiao Zhao was very excited to hold Wei Yang's Magnolia Award trophy.

Last time, Wei Yang's two Golden Eagle Award trophies were taken away by Liu Shishi and placed in her and Wei Yang's new home. Wei Yang then had someone make copies and placed them in his office.

This time, Wei Yang brought the Magnolia Trophy to Xiao Zhao, and then he made a few copies and placed them in the company.

Don't ask. If you ask, it means the company needs some honors...

The White Orchid Trophy is very simple in shape, golden in color, and has a white magnolia shape on it. Wei Yang personally thinks it is the ugliest of the three major television awards.

However, Xiao Zhao couldn't let it go and even fantasized: "How can I win the Magnolia Award for Best Actress?"

Wei Yang had no way of answering her.

No one can tell in this life, and in the previous life it would take another week to find out the answer.

However, compared to Liu Shishi, Wei Yang is more optimistic about Xiao Zhao. At least he can comfort her by saying that there is hope. If Liu Shishi asks, he will change the subject.

"The company sent me a notice that 'My Sunshine' will premiere on July 15th."

After admiring the trophy for a while, Xiao Zhao leaned on his chest and talked about the upcoming drama “Come on, My Mr. Love”.

As this is her first female lead role in her life, and also the brand new "Wei Girl", Xiao Zhao can't help but feel a little worried.

You know, this drama was tailor-made for her by Wei Yang. Not only is it from the perspective of the heroine, but Wei Yang also personally starred in it to guide her. For a newcomer, it's almost the best configuration.

If the results were to fail, it would not only be a small matter that she would not be valued by the company and major producers and directors, but it would also implicate Wei Yang in various ways.

For example, it put an end to the rule that Wei Yang's starring role will definitely become a hit, and even made her the most unsuccessful "Wei Girl", breaking the myth that Wei Yang's supporting actresses will definitely make them popular...

Xiao Zhao can tolerate her own failure. She has no bargaining chips anyway. It is nothing more than proving that she is not destined to be a star. She will just play supporting roles or work behind the scenes in the future.

But if Wei Yang is implicated, the sin would be too great, and this is also what worries Xiao Zhao the most.

"Don't worry, I've never lost a fight before. Just watch me take you to flight."

It was not difficult for Boss Wei to see that Xiao Zhao was nervous, so he said a few bold words to cheer her up and divert her attention.

"When will your crew wrap up filming?"

"Early July."

“That’s not much different from Joy of Life.”

"Chef Fang's Story" started filming later than "Joy of Life", but it has fewer episodes and smaller scenes, so it was filmed quickly. There is a high probability that both will be finished at the same time.

Even under Wei Yang's arrangement, the drama was filmed in an ancient costume film and television city in the early stage, and only moved to Hengdian when some scenes in Beijing were filmed.

Otherwise, if Xiao Zhao came to visit the set of "Joy of Life", he would very likely run into Liu Shishi directly.

"If you look back at shows like China's Got Talent, If You Are the One, and Chef Wars, you may have to go on the promotional circuit."

"If You Are the One?"

Xiao Zhao understands the other variety shows. "China's Got Talent" is the most popular variety show on Shanghai TV now. "Star Chef Battle" is also good, and it allows her to show off her cooking skills, but what the hell is "If You Are the One"?

Wei Yang also smiled bitterly: "After all, this is the trump card of Jiangsu Province Satellite TV, with the highest ratings."

If "Come, My Love" wants to maximize its publicity effect, it must go on programs with high ratings. These programs also take Wei Yang's popularity and fame into consideration and are very welcoming.

Normally speaking, the show "If You Are the One" is not suitable for film and television promotion, but the program team is willing to come up with some special plans for this purpose.

"Special plan? Are we going on a blind date?"

Xiao Zhao perked up all of a sudden. Wei Yang smiled and said, "Almost. But there are still some details that are uncertain, so we are discussing it."

The original intention of the "If You Are the One" production team was for Wei Yang to be the male guest, and then go through the process and promote "My Mr. Shuai".

Wei Yang felt that the publicity effect was not good, and he also wanted to show Xiao Zhao's face, so he suggested whether they could participate in the program as the male and female protagonists of "Come on, Mr. Shu" to maximize the promotion of the TV series.

But the "If You Are the One" production team felt that this was a bit fake. After all, everyone knew Wei Yang, and no one would believe him if he said he was Feng Teng.

After a series of discussions, both sides temporarily incline to think that since Xiao Zhao is not famous, she can just use Xue Shanshan's background as the female guest, while Wei Yang can go in his true identity, which will not only create a gimmick, but also promote the TV series, and it won't seem so fake.

“This is quite interesting.”

Xiao Zhao was eager to try it out after hearing this: "You said, if you make me your favorite guest, and then I turn off the lights for you, wouldn't it be very interesting?"

"You can try."

Wei Yang kept smiling, but Xiao Zhao was a little scared and kissed him a few times to please him.

"You can't turn off the lights, or you'll be snatched away by another bad woman, and I'll be at a huge loss."

Boss Wei snorted proudly: "Good to know."
