In 2012, the legendary year of doomsday, the Mayan prophecies were widely circulated on the Internet, and even people who didn't go online knew a few words about them.
Most people treat it as a joke. After all, older people know that the turn of the century at the end of 1999 is also a famous doomsday node.
There are also some people who are skeptical, but nothing changes, so they can only go to class and work as usual, eat and wait for death.
There are also a very small number of people who really believe it! Some have become hoarders, building doomsday fortresses and preparing to survive the doomsday; some have quit their jobs, sold their houses, and squandered their money, preparing to live it up before they die; and some are just afraid that the world will not be in chaos, creating panic and letting evildoers run rampant...
Weiyang is not interested in the Mayan apocalypse. Not to mention that he is a reborn person, even if he is not reborn, he will not believe it.
At the end of 1999, he was 12 years old, still a naive sixth-grade elementary school student.
I don't know which bastard fooled the kids, saying that an atomic bomb exploded and the world would end soon. There was no point in keeping the money in your hands, so you should spend it quickly. It would be a big loss if you don't spend it all and die.
Wei Yang, who was relatively well off among students at the time, spent all the huge sum of 6.27 yuan that he had saved with great difficulty, and took his two childhood friends on a wild eating, drinking and shopping spree.
In the end, the money was all spent, but the doomsday did not come! Later, the news leaked out, and his mother checked the account and beat him up. Not only did he not see a single coin of the New Year's money.
That was the time Wei Yang truly experienced the evil nature of human nature, and he still remembers it vividly.
So if you have the guts to kill him when it comes to the Doomsday, don’t bother talking about it if you can’t…
If possible, Wei Yang would like to take advantage of the popularity of the end of the world and shoot a film or TV series with related elements. However, this kind of subject matter is difficult to pass review, and the difficulty is doubled at this juncture. If it causes a commotion and negative impact, it will be a big trouble.
Even Wei Yang was somewhat thankful that the world view of "Joy of Life" was not shown in the first season.
You have to know that according to the setting of the drama "Joy of Life" and the original novel, the world in the drama slowly evolved after the destruction of the world, and it also involves the end of the world. It would be a troublesome thing if you were led by the rhythm.
It's not just the end of the world that can't be touched, the "time travel" theme is also very troublesome now.
Last year, the huge success of "Palace" and "Startling by Each Step" ignited the trend of Qing Dynasty time-travel dramas and even the entire time-travel drama trend.
All major film and television companies wanted to follow suit and had even started filming, but soon, this trend was suppressed.
Leaders of relevant departments issued a directive at the end of last year that time-travel dramas should be "cautious", which indicates that the review of related subjects has been tightened.
There are rumors on the Internet that primary school students agreed to jump into a well after watching a time-travel drama and were boycotted by their parents. This is only one aspect of the story. Although it is easy for the authorities to take a one-size-fits-all approach, they will not make trouble for every individual case.
The real reason why time-travel themes are banned is "historical nihilism."
Because time travel can easily confuse history and instill wrong history into some audiences who don't understand history or even teenagers. It is crudely made and has no nutritional value, and it guides and instills good historical values.
In fact, this statement is a bit far-fetched, because it is not a time-travel theme, and there are many fabricated "historical dramas".
But some things, if they are not weighed, they are not even a little bit, but if they are weighed, they weigh a thousand pounds.
Although the official document has not been officially issued, the rumor has spread and the review standards are constantly being revised.
"Joy of Life" has also suffered certain twists and turns because of this. It had originally passed the review and was waiting to be broadcast, but now it was suddenly recalled for re-review.
Wei Yang, who had just returned to China, had no time to argue with Xiao Zhao and Liu Shishi. He hurriedly joined up with people from Hunan Province and went to Beijing for public relations.
After busying around for a while, Wei Yang, drunk, returned to the hotel and saw Fat Fan waiting for him in his room.
"Why are you here?"
"I heard the news and came to take a look. Is that troublesome?"
The circle is so small that many people can get wind of any important events. The Hunan TV station and Blue Whale have always been the focus. This time both parties hurried to Beijing, and even Wei Yang showed up in person, which naturally attracted attention from all parties.
Many people are waiting to see the joke. In the past two years, Hunan TV and Wei Yang have been too popular, and everyone is expecting them to fall.
When Fan Xiaopang learned about the situation and happened to be in Beijing, he hurried over to visit.
"It's not bad."
Wei Yang took a sip of the hot water brought by Fatty Fan and loosened his collar: "It's not as serious as people outside imagine."
Strictly speaking, "Joy of Life" is not a time-travel theme. Just like the world view mentioned earlier, the hero Fan Xian originally lived before the end of the world, but because he was a seriously ill patient, when he was on the verge of death, his memory was preserved in the data. Later, he was used as a test subject by his mother and was arranged to be resurrected.
So Fan Xian had nothing to do with time travel from beginning to end, but it can be said to be a rebirth through technology.
His mother Ye Qingmei does seem like a time traveler. It is not explicitly stated in the book, but due to censorship, some changes may be made in the drama.
Rebirth is rebirth, and time travel is time travel! Not to mention that Wei Yang was cautious and arranged a plot of a student writing a novel at the beginning and end, turning all the plots into a story.
This routine is not very clever, and anyone can see that it is to avoid review, but as long as it exists, there is room for manipulation and mediation.
More importantly, "Joy of Life" belongs to a fictional world. Fiction and tampering are two completely different things, and there is no "historical nihilism".
With so many favorable conditions, and the fact that the two families are not unknown, Wei Yang is now relatively optimistic.
With two mouths, we can talk about anything...
Upon learning that things were turning around, Fan Xiaopang breathed a sigh of relief. This was a big deal worth several hundred million. If it got stuck, Wei Yang would be in trouble.
Putting personal feelings aside, she was looking forward to starting a company with Wei Yang. If Blue Whale suffered a serious blow, her expectations would be dashed.
Fan Xiaopang did not stay long. Wei Yang went to several places and negotiated with various parties for a long time. He was tired and stressed. He had no time to accompany her.
Wei Yang ignored the matter and continued to be busy with public relations with others the next day. He used a lot of connections and it took him almost a week to get it done.
During this period, Fat Fan would come over from time to time to bring some food and clothes.
Wei Yang came to Beijing in a hurry and did not bring enough supplies or have much time to buy anything, so she packed it for him.
At the same time, she also introduced her own connections to Wei Yang. After all, she was a top star in the circle and had some connections, but her face was limited, so whether she could help or not depended on Wei Yang.
Fan Xiaopang served him some soup and asked about the details.
Wei Yang was too busy these days, so she didn't feel comfortable asking too much. She only understood a few things sporadically and didn't have a clear understanding of many things.
Wei Yang did not elaborate. Many things were too sensitive, and the less he knew, the better.
In short, although I didn’t suffer much this time, I also learned a big lesson. Fortunately, I managed to get through it without any danger.
However, after getting through this matter, he still owed a lot of favors to others, and he would have to make up for them one by one in the future, and at the same time he had to catch up with his superiors.
Thinking about what kind of main theme is suitable for a wave...
Seeing this, Fat Fan wisely did not ask any further questions and instead talked about other things.
"When will Celebrating Yu Nian be broadcast?"
"It was originally scheduled for early February, which is after the Spring Festival. Now the sooner the better. Hunan TV has already arranged the schedule."

After all these twists and turns, both companies dared not delay any longer and immediately moved up the schedule to finish the show as soon as possible.
As long as "Joy of Life" is broadcast, Wei Yang is confident that he can build up momentum and reputation, and then the second and third parts may continue to be filmed. After all, the people come first, and the audience's thoughts are also public opinion.
The deal was worth several hundred million yuan, and there were even some contracts where Wei Yang had even received money for a trilogy, so he had to shoot the second and third parts.
The storm subsided and Wei Yang felt relieved. Fat Fan did not leave as he did before, but left the next morning.
Wei Yang did not return to the Magic City. Instead, he participated in several publicity interviews on the spot and then flew directly to Xingcheng, Hunan Province. As soon as he landed, he saw his front-page headline in the Southern Metropolis Daily at the airport newsstand.
"Shocking! Fan Bingbing throws a ring into the arms of a man and meets her lover every night"
Although his name was not in the title, the large photo showed him coming out of the hotel.
Next to his large photo there are four or five small frames, all of which are photos of Fat Fan in disguise carrying large and small bags entering and leaving the gate of the same hotel.
Wei Yang didn't disguise himself at all because he was with several people.
Although Fan Xiaopang was wearing a down jacket and his face was covered by a hat, mask, and sunglasses, he was not conspicuous in the crowd, but he could still be recognized if he was photographed closely and enlarged.
It was obvious that they either saw the car by lurking there or they were following it and keeping a close eye on Fan Xiaopang.
The paparazzi is awesome, the reporter’s writing is also very impressive, and he describes the entire transaction process very clearly.
When Wei Yang came to Beijing, Fan Xiaopang took the initiative to visit him every morning and evening, and brought a lot of things, including food and clothes. A beautiful woman threw herself into his arms, and he spent his own money and time on him, which was really enviable.
After reading the newspaper, Wei Yang heard that someone had posted the video online, so he went to Weibo to check.
Sure enough, this group of paparazzi followed Fan Xiaopang to the hotel, and then saw Wei Yang, so they waited and followed him.
Due to the strict control measures inside the hotel, they did not take many photos. They could only take photos of people entering and leaving the hotel and conduct time analysis, such as when Fan entered the hotel, how long he stayed, etc.
As for knowing that Fan Xiaopang sent clothes and food, it was because the paparazzi followed Fan Xiaopang's car and saw her or the assistant driver buying men's clothes or food and then delivering them to the hotel.
Although the entire video does not contain much explosive material, the logic is self-consistent and it makes people think deeply.
Under the Weibo video, many netizens posted comments that they welcomed.
[It has been said for a long time that they have an affair]
[Bah, scumbag, are you worthy of Shi Shi? ]
[I don't believe it. Fan... is not worthy of Brother Wei Yang]
[Don't try to trick me, maybe it's just a coincidence, staying in the same hotel means they slept together? ]
[Then how do you explain that Fan… has a family in Beijing, and he ran to the hotel with a lot of bags, and the one he was having an affair with happened to appear here]
[Wow, Wei Yang is awesome. He lives in a hotel by himself, and Fatty Fan comes to his house every day to bring him food and drinks.]
[My role model]
[Is this still the Fan Bingbing I remember? How come she has become a young wife?]
[Kill the Wei thieves and rob the soldiers]
[It’s just a hype of gossip. “Joy of Life” will be aired soon. It’s the same old routine of the surname Wei. In a few days, it will be hyped with Tang Yan or Liu Shishi.]
【The discerning person upstairs】
【……】
Wei Yang looked at the comments and turned off the computer. He and Fan Xiaopang had many scandals, and although this one was a bit outrageous, it could not be considered as solid evidence. At most, it would cause a bigger stir.
What really caught Wei Yang's attention was that the paparazzi's appearance was too coincidental.
Moreover, they acted very carefully. They filmed everything that needed to be filmed over the past few days. There was almost no room for rebuttal, and the evaluation of Fan Xiaopang was mostly positive.
Wei Yang was a little suspicious whether Fan Xiaopang directed and acted this out himself to create public pressure and confirm their relationship.
He was not the only one who thought so. When Xiao Zhao and Liu Shishi saw the news, their first reaction was anger, and their second reaction was that someone was taking advantage of the situation...
