Xiao Zhao didn't return to the hotel until after eight o'clock in the evening. He learned that Wang Yunping had forgotten to bring a fan and other cooling items, and that she had suffered a little, and he was very upset.
"It's all my fault for forgetting to ask one more question. Yuanyuan (the assistant) is the same. Didn't you see that Auntie is hot? If you can't get anyone to call me, why don't you?"
"It's okay, Auntie is not some spoiled lady. Why did you come back so late? Did something happen?"
Wang Yunping was afraid that Xiao Zhao and Wei Yang would quarrel again because of her, so she quickly changed the subject.
Xiao Zhao then explained that there was probably some problem on the crew and she happened to be in charge of it, so she rushed over to deal with it, otherwise she would never have left Wang Yunping alone on the crew.
"What happened?"
Wei Yang didn't blame Xiao Zhao, but seeing that he had been out for so long, he thought it was some thorny problem, so the latter shook his head.
"It's not a big deal. An actor fell off a horse while filming. I was in charge of actor coordination and was also the executive producer, so I went to handle it."
If an actor has an accident on the set, the crew will be responsible. The medical expenses and treatment and all the other issues must be dealt with. If someone needs to be replaced, contract issues must also be resolved, etc.
The matter was not big, but it was rather trivial and complicated, so it was no wonder that Xiao Zhao was busy for most of the day.
In front of Wang Yunping, Wei Yang didn't say much. It was only when they returned to Xiao Zhao's room that Wei Yang couldn't help asking.
"Can you handle it? If filming is too tiring, you can stop working behind the scenes for a while."
Wei Yang knew how tiring it was to be the lead actor in a TV series. Now that Xiao Zhao had taken up a higher position, he had more responsibilities to take care of. Adding the two together, the workload was not low.
Although he hopes Xiao Zhao can achieve some results behind the scenes, it doesn't mean Wei Yang is willing to exhaust his girlfriend.
"I think it's OK. It was a bit strenuous at the beginning, but now I'm used to it and have adapted well. Every day on and off the stage is very fulfilling."
Compared to the Buddhist Liu Shishi, Xiao Zhao is energetic and willing to help Wei Yang solve his problems, so he is keen to take on some of the company's burdens and does not feel tired.
"Do what you can, and don't try to be too aggressive."
Seeing that Xiao Zhao was determined, Wei Yang could only give her some advice, asking her not to tire herself out, and at the same time thought about taking him back to relax.
"After we finish filming Joy of Life and you finish filming here, let's go to the United States for some fun."
"Then will you bring your aunt and uncle?"
When Xiao Zhao heard Wei Yang's words, his first reaction was joy, and his second reaction was Wang Yunping and his wife.
This made Wei Yang feel a little ashamed. He was only thinking about the two of them, and as a son, he was not as filial as Xiao Zhao.
"I won't bring it this time. The whole family will come next time."
The last time Wei Yang went to Europe with Liu Shishi, it was just the two of them. It doesn't make sense for him to bring his family along this time with Zhao Liying. He has to be fair.
Xiao Zhao naturally would not object. Although she had a very good relationship with Wang Yunping and was willing to go out and play with everyone, if she could be alone with Wei Yang, other options would naturally come second.
…
Wei Yang stayed in the crew of "The Legend of Mi Yue" for two days to make sure that Ms. Wang Yunping would not easily go to the crew of "Joy of Life" before he set off to join the crew for filming.
He had been away for dozens of days, missing a lot of filming. He had just returned and was busy rushing to finish all the work to pay off his debts.
When someone comes back, someone else has to leave.
Rouba, who had stayed in the crew of "Joy of Life" to film, left the crew shortly after Wei Yang returned to the crew and was busy promoting "Diamond Lover".
This drama is Blue Whale's summer masterpiece this year, and the cast is quite impressive.
Qiao Zhenyu, who became famous in "Startling by Each Step", plays the male lead, Zhao Ji, a popular young actress, plays the female lead, and Rouba, who became famous after "Joy of Life", plays the second female lead. This is an excellent configuration among Blue Whale's many projects.
The broadcasting platform is Jiangsu Satellite TV. After tasting the sweetness of "My Love from the Star" and "Come on, My Love", this TV station has been quite fond of contemporary idol dramas and paid a large sum of money to acquire the copyright of "Diamond Lover".
This year's summer movie season on the small screen is no less competitive than that on the big screen, and may even be more so.
"Living Buddha Jigong 3", "Moonlight Swordsman", "True Love Lies", "Beauty Without Tears", "Mu Guiying Takes Command"...
The above are all TV series with certain selling points and characteristics, but the most worth mentioning is——
"The Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky" was produced by Tangren and broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV, starring Hu Ge and Liu Shishi.
As well as the sitcom "Love Apartment 3", which premiered on many satellite TV stations in Anhui Province and other places, and its predecessor was very influential.
These two TV series are also the biggest rivals of "Diamond Lover" in this summer season.
Other TV series may be better in some aspects, but in overall comparison, especially in terms of popularity and influence, the difference is by no means small.
What’s even more interesting is that these three TV series have a lot to do with each other, they are both enemies and friends.
There is no need to say much about the relationship between Blue Whale and Tangren. Even if there is competition this time, it is a friendly exchange.
In fact, it is difficult to completely separate the "Love Apartment" series from Blue Whale.
So although the fight seemed fierce this time, it was actually very gentle. It could even be said that there was not much exchange of blows or steps. Basically, each company was just broadcasting its own content.
On the surface, the drama with the best ratings is "Diamond Lover", with an average rating of 1.62, ranking first among the three dramas.
However, the most popular and discussed show is "Love Apartment 3". In this regard, sitcoms have great advantages.
"Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky" is relatively balanced, but this drama is a bit weird.
Say it's not popular.
The data, popularity, and search index are all very good. The newcomer Jinfu also became popular, and Hu Ge and Liu Shishi both received good exposure.
Say it's hot.
However, this drama does not have much to chew on, but instead has many flaws, which does not leave a deep impression on people. It always feels that it is a level short of the so-called big hit.
How should I put it? Maybe everyone's impression of "Chinese Paladin 3", which was also adapted from a game, was too deep. Coupled with last year's big hit "Startling by Each Step", people had high expectations for this drama from Tangren. However, the result was not satisfactory, which lowered the impression score a lot.

In comparison, "Diamond Lover" is actually quite far behind "My Dear Lady" and "My Sunshine".
However, since Wei Yang was not the star, people's expectations for the show were not so high, so many people were satisfied with this result.
Not to mention, the drama "Diamond Lover" also made Rouba famous.
The plot of the drama "Diamond Lover" is very typical: the ugly duckling counterattacks and finally marries the domineering president.
However, this drama has an additional love line between the second male lead and the second female lead. The male lead is okay, he is the female lead's backup, while the second female lead is a tomboy superstar.
To be honest, this character has a lot of shadows of Fan Qianqian, the heroine of "My Love from the Star", and it can even be said to be a younger version.
It’s just that Fan Qianqian in “My Love from the Star” is beautiful, cheerful and carefree, while Gao Wen in “Diamond Lover” is more irritable, silly, funny and weird.
Wei Yang strongly feels that the character in "Diamond Lover" was originally plagiarized from "My Love from the Star".
Of course, now that both dramas are written by Wei Yang alone, copying himself is not called plagiarism, but adaptation.
“My Love from the Star” has proven how likable this character is, of course, provided that the essence of the performance is performed well.
And Rouba is inexplicably suitable for this approach.
Although compared with Fan Xiaopang, her role is a little too much and exaggerated, but her character setting is younger, and as the second female lead, she has more comedy elements, which also allows her to perform in her own style.
It created Gao Wen who belongs to Dilraba Dilmurat, rather than a low-profile version of Fan Qianqian/Fan Xiaopang.
So, a beautiful, exquisite, quirky, full of energy, and a bit soft and arrogant superstar has become one of the hottest TV characters this summer.
"Diamond Lover" has also become a rare TV series where the supporting characters overpower the male and female protagonists.
Many people would never have expected that Rouba has not starred in any drama yet, but she became famous with two supporting roles in "Joy of Life" and "Diamond Lover".
This beauty from Xinjiang province, who had always been somewhat suppressed by her good sister Nazha, could no longer conceal her brilliance after "Diamond Lover", and became another rising star in the entertainment industry.
The so-called two beauties of Xinjiang Province are no longer just one big and one small.
Maybe there is still some gap between the two of them, but it is not as obvious as before. Instead, they stand side by side and shine together.
Miss Wei has added another brilliant achievement, or rather, Blue Whale has gained a new cash cow.
Moreover, the ratings of "Diamond Lover" are good. Although the male and female protagonists are not as popular as Rouba, under Wei Yang's adaptation, there are not as many complaints as in the previous life. At most, they are not very outstanding, but they have also brought certain popularity and exposure to the actors Qiao Zhenyu and Zhao Ji.
Especially Zhao Ji, who was already on the threshold of becoming a top-tier actress.
Now with "Diamond Lover" and "Love Apartment 3", they have made a lot of splash in the summer season. Although they have certain disadvantages in terms of commercial value, they can still be recognized as first-line stars by relying on the Blue Whale platform.
Although "Diamond Lover" did not establish an overwhelming advantage as usual, the data in all aspects were not bad, and it also made Dilraba Dilmurat famous, which did not tarnish the golden signboard of Blue Whale.
Double happiness!
While "Diamond Lover" swept the small screen, "Famous" was finally released after more than a month of hot screenings, with a final box office of 505 million! This result surprised Blue Whale. According to the budget, everyone estimated that 480 million would be about right.
Unexpectedly, there were no powerful new films in August, which gave "Famous" another life. After some setbacks, it finally successfully broke through the 500 million mark.
Boss Wei was very pleased and took time out of his busy schedule to hold a banquet in Shanghai for the two crews to celebrate their success. It also brought a perfect end to this summer season.
This summer, Blue Whale has another popular little flower named Dilirouba.
This summer, the Chinese film industry welcomed a new demon king...
