Chapter 360: "Patricide" Little Expert and No Longer Advantageous



"A master at killing his father?!"

Wei Yang's face darkened when he saw the comments online. Who the hell is framing him?

Wei Fei couldn't help but laugh secretly beside him. It was no wonder that people on the Internet said so about Wei Yang. They really had "ironclad evidence" in their hands.

The novel "The Stars Are Brilliant" was launched in 2019. The author has not written it yet, so naturally it is an "original script" created by Wei Yang. At least the outline of the script and many characters were decided by him.

This means that even though he did not act in this drama, in everyone's mind it is still his work and can be used to derive his ideas.

The theme of the drama "The Star Han Canlan" for the male protagonist Ling Buyi throughout the whole drama is revenge, and the object of revenge is his uncle and adoptive father.

Therefore, in the plot, the male protagonist naturally had to "kill his father", so even though it was Hu Ge who killed the man in the play, the screenwriter Wei Yang also took the blame.

More importantly, this is not the first time he has done this.

In the drama "Eastern Palace", the male protagonist indirectly killed his father and ascended the throne in order to gain the throne.

If "Joy of Life" is filmed according to the original novel, the final ending will definitely be "patricide". Even if it is not done by his own hands, at least Emperor Qing died in his hands.

This is already the third time that his father has been killed! And other original works can also reveal some details about Leeuwenhoek, and his original family is very problematic.

The most noteworthy is the Zhenhua Trilogy, in which the female protagonists are mostly from single-parent or divorced families, and the male protagonists' families are not good either, and they have more or less conflicts with their parents.

Among the several TV series filmed by Wei Yang, apart from the special theme of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", the other most harmonious family dramas are "Twinkle Twinkle Star" and "My Sunshine".

In one case, the male protagonist died early, and in the other, the protagonist's parents died early and they were the masters of the family.

Some fans also discovered through details of Wei Yang's previous interviews that Wei Yang lived with his grandparents when he was a child, and later went to his aunt's house to live as a boarding student for several years. Isn't this a typical model of the original family's misfortune?

So all signs indicate that Wei Yang's relationship with his parents is not harmonious, especially with his father. There are huge conflicts between them, and he even vents them in his works.

“…”

Nonsense!

Far-fetched!

Isn't this trying to sow discord between father and son?

Wei Yang was so angry that his teeth were itching and he was even a little scared. Although Wei Shan had the best temper in the family, the people who were usually in charge were his eldest aunt and mother, and Wei Yang usually respected these two more.

But in fact, if Wei Yang really made a big mistake, his aunt and mother would have to step aside and let Wei Shan take charge.

Since he was a child, he has only been beaten by Wei Shan twice. But now he has lived two lives and has lived for decades. He still can't help but feel a lingering fear when he thinks about it.

That was a real killing move! Although Wei Shan's temper had become better over the years, and Wei Yang was old and had a career, the possibility of him taking action was very low, but which father would be happy to hear that his son was a "little expert in killing his father"? He was really afraid that the old man would punish him.

Wei Yang thought about going to Yunhua Mansion as little as possible these days to avoid being caught in a trap. Huo Jun next to him couldn't help but express his curiosity: "Boss, do you really have a problem with your uncle? I think you have a good relationship."

"Of course it's good, he's my real father."

Wei Yang couldn't help but complain, can movies and TV dramas be the same as reality, even if they are scripts?

He has written many affectionate characters, and each one of them is more infatuated than the other in the TV dramas. Why do so many people still call him a scumbag?

Not to mention that most of the scripts were not originally written by him and have nothing to do with him. The key point is that from a creative perspective, it is often the case that an unhappy original family can make it easier to flesh out the characters and lay the groundwork for the plot.

Especially for youth growth dramas like the Zhenhua Trilogy, if you want to create distinctive characters, you have to work hard on the family aspect.

As for the so-called patricide, it is even more common in literature and film and television works.

Shakespeare's "Hamlet" is a typical example, and the same is true for the domestic "The Lotus Lantern", except that "father" is changed to uncle and uncle.

"Patricide" is essentially a rebellion and a struggle between the old and new powers, but it has spawned some side plots and packaging.

Therefore, it is not that Wei Yang has any special plot, but this itself is a creative idea. It’s just that Wei Yang happened to encounter it more often, and his works have a great influence.

Therefore, all these imaginations are complete nonsense. I dare not say how happy Wei Yang's family is, but at least they are a very normal and harmonious family. These people outside are just full and have nothing to do.

The way to clarify these rumors is simple, just show off your wealth.

Wei Yang took his parents to Shanghai to settle down and bought a 200 million mansion for them to live in.

That’s right, with the hot real estate market, the price of Yunhua Mansion has increased, almost approaching 200 million. Wei Yang simply rounded it up to 200 million.

Isn't that discordant?

Your family is not harmonious so you bring your parents to live with you. Your family is not harmonious so you spend 200 million to buy a house for your parents to live in and live in during their retirement.

Needless to say, money is the bottom line these days. Once a 200 million mansion is smashed, everyone else will have to shut up.

I think Wei Yang is just pretending. If you are filial, why don't you buy a set for your parents to show off...

However, compared to Wei Yang's unexpected misfortune, Xiao Zhao was very happy.

The original novel of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a female-oriented novel, so it is naturally mainly from the perspective of the female protagonist. However, the drama has been slightly changed, and it can be said that there are two strong characters, and the male protagonist's presence is also very strong.

The background of the story is fictional, but in fact the emperor, empress and imperial concubines in it have very strong shadows of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, and his two empresses, Guo Shengtong and Yin Lihua.

The costumes, props, and some customs and etiquette also refer to the Eastern Han Dynasty, but they are not so particular, so it can also be regarded as a modified version of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The story line of the heroine Cheng Shaoshang is very simple.

The original work was about time travel, but now that this attribute has been removed, it is a story about an ancient girl's growth and adherence to her original heart, and finally finding her own happiness.

The heroine appears to be well-behaved and weak, like a little white flower, but she is actually cunning inside and out, a double-faced, sharp-tongued little fox.

This character is actually very similar to Sheng Minglan in "Knowing Your Destiny", which Zhao played in her previous life. She is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and is good at disguise.

This is also normal, because these two books were written by the same author, which is why Wei Yang asked Xiao Zhao to play the role, as she had relatively successful experience in her previous life.

The drama "Knowing Your Destiny" was not particularly popular when it was broadcast, and even received some negative reviews.

However, the long-tail effect and subsequent influence of this drama are absolutely top-notch, and it has remained at the top of the annual viewing volume in the following years.

Therefore, this drama is also jokingly called Xiao Zhao’s retirement drama. With time, it may have the hope of becoming a classic.

This is something that Zhao Yihuan's better and more popular works "The Journey of Flower" and "Princess Agents", as well as many other young and big stars, have not achieved.

There are many reasons for its success, one of which must be the strength of the original author.

Naturally, "The Starry Sky", written by the same author, is also not an ordinary work.

The plot structure is mature, the highlights and rhythm are well-planned, and the tone and core of the story are also impressive. It is a very typical successful commercial female-oriented novel.

In my previous life, this drama had good data and was considered a popular drama, but it did not become a big hit. The main reason was due to the supporting roles and the female lead.

The female lead, Zhao Lusi, is okay in playing a sweet girl who pretends to be crazy and stupid, but she is not up to the role of a female lead of this level.

To put it bluntly, Mary Sue’s performance was not Sue enough!

The so-called Mary Sue is actually the protagonist of a cool novel, allowing readers and audiences to identify with the character, cry with her, laugh with her, fall in love with her, and pursue a career with her.

There are many types of Mary Sue. Some are happy all the way, while others are simply naive and sweet.

Read the original text at Liu#9@书/吧!

This kind of role is easy to play, as long as the audience is not bad, there will be no problem.

However, some roles with depth or some sad moments cannot be handled by ordinary people. The actors need to have a sense of charm, temperament, talent and experience.

Some people are born to be the protagonists, while some people are not destined to be so, and no matter how much they are promoted, they can never become popular or become the protagonists.

The fact that these statements have been spread and recognized by people in the industry cannot be simply explained by the issue of resources.

It is obvious that Zhao Lusi is a person with poor talents, and otherwise she would not be called one of the four ordinary girls, coupled with her personality.

She is not ugly, but she just makes people feel that she can't control the situation. It may be due to her temperament and personality, and she lacks maturity.

Another aspect is the audience's perception. She has played too many carefree roles, and usually likes to go for the down-to-earth tomboy style.

You are too down to earth, so it will be difficult to hold yourself up when the time comes. Not everyone has the luck and strength that Wei Daxun has.

Therefore, she left a deep impression on the public as a female macho who pretends to be crazy and stupid. When she wanted to play a noble lady or a fairy in heaven, people would feel it was out of place.

In comparison, when Xiao Zhao first debuted in his previous life, his hardware conditions were not excellent, and he was even blacklisted by the entire Internet for a time.

But she knows how to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses, improve herself comprehensively, accumulate momentum and reputation, and pave the way with hard results. The key is to never completely limit her own acting range.

Maybe people won’t think she is a peerless beauty, but she is definitely not an ordinary girl. She can compete with other famous actresses and her aura is no less impressive. The audience thinks she is a sweet girl, but they will not be stuck with this impression.

Now Zhao Liying has the support of Blue Whale. Although the Sweet Girl Trilogy paved the way, the team has also been consciously eliminating hidden dangers for Zhao Liying.

Among Xiao Zhao’s current biggest personalities, besides being a sweet girl, the second biggest personality is not a foodie, a gourmet, or being very popular with the audience, but an inspirational person.

She was born in the rural area, did not graduate from a typical professional school, was not extremely beautiful, and had been playing supporting roles for several years, but she gradually became a popular actress.

Inspirational representative!

A big star turned from an "ordinary" girl!

Behind the inspirational character are many positive attributes such as hard work, persistence, seriousness, and self-esteem. This panacea can be applied to any role.

The heroine of "Come, My Love" is independent and entrepreneurial, "The Chef Fang in Flowers" paves the way for gourmet food and makes many contributions, and "The Imperial Coroner" is a professional boss with outstanding abilities.

These dramas appear to be sweet dramas on the surface, but they are actually variants of female-led dramas, where the female leads are sweet but not stupid.

So in everyone's impression, Xiao Zhao is a sweet girl, but a hard-working and capable sweet girl.

Because of this established impression, Zhao's trial transformation in "The Legend of Mi Yue" did not cause the audience to be distracted.

Xiao Zhao has been able to achieve long-term success, has impressive statistics, and has accumulated widespread popularity. Although she has the worst hardware conditions, she has become a top actress. Her talent is not to be underestimated.

The same Mary Sue plot may seem dry when performed by others, but it is likable when performed by Xiao Zhao, and makes people feel that it is beautiful and interesting.

This is a real skill, and it is a skill that many actors will never acquire even if they never figure it out in their entire lives.

"The Legend of Mi Yue" didn't become a hit in the hands of Zhao Lusi, but it made her quite popular, not to mention in the hands of the enhanced version of Zhao.

The TV series has been aired for most of the time and the ratings have soared to 1.5, the highest in the summer season.

The number of online views has exceeded 1 billion, and it has single-handedly surpassed other works of the same period on Penguin Video, ranking first in popularity for nearly half a month. Its previous biggest rival, "Lanling King", has been left behind and its taillights are no longer visible.

I can’t say it’s the most popular drama in the summer, but it’s definitely the most popular drama in June.

Xiao Zhao himself was even more popular. In Baidu's artist search index, he never fell out of the top ten that day. At his peak, he was firmly in the top five or even top three.

With an average of two hot searches every day, her Weibo fans have skyrocketed, now exceeding 20 million, officially surpassing Tang Yan, the beauty from "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III".

Blue Whale struck while the iron was hot and secured three endorsements for Xiao Zhao within a week, two of which were very important.

One is the Meituan food delivery service that is about to be launched, and the other is the Xiaomi mobile phone.

Neither of these two are small brands, but they take the mass-market route, so Xiao Zhao, who has a high national popularity, has become a popular candidate, and of course Wei Yang is also pushing him behind the scenes.

At least Meituan’s spokesperson previously only had Wei Yang, but now there’s another Xiao Zhao, so it’s hard to say that she has nothing to do with it.

In any case, although she is not favored by high-end luxury brands, Zhao Liying's growing popularity and influence have begun to make her commercial value rise steadily.

Now, "The Stars" has not finished airing, but Zhao's four-game winning streak is already clear.

Xiao Zhao, who was originally at a slight disadvantage compared to the three beauties of Fairy Sword, now has the capital to be completely equal to them. Even Tang Yan, one of the three, already feels defeated.

More importantly, "My Sunshine" has set off a wave of viewership, with extremely high popularity and discussion, and a very strong momentum.

When "Startling by Each Step" was about to be broadcast, the three beauties of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" suddenly discovered it.

The advantage doesn't seem to be on them anymore...
