The first "independent" production of Da Mimi's Mixing Company is "Dear Translator".

This was also the project that made Jiaxing Entertainment famous in its previous life.

As for why this drama was made, the reasons have been mentioned before. Modern dramas have lower costs and lower production difficulty. Based on the original work, the quality of the plot is guaranteed as much as possible, and the popularity advantage of Da Mimi is brought into play.

The setting of the drama "Dear Translator" is quite clever.

It contains elements of urban idol love, such as Cinderella meeting the son of a high-ranking official.

It also has the Mary Sue characteristics of the heroine's growth. A civilian girl upgrades and fights monsters, and achieves success in both love and career.

At the same time, there are professional workplaces that are currently more popular in the market. They have a certain degree of professionalism and allow people to understand some things about the industry. At the same time, the workplace plot also makes the main audience group, white-collar workers, feel more involved.

Does this pattern seem familiar to you? That’s right, a large number of workplace romance dramas in later generations, especially those from the perspective of the female protagonist, basically follow this pattern.

Among them, it cannot be said that "Dear Translator" is the first to use this template, as similar themes have existed before.

But "Dear Translator" definitely played a key role in leading or promoting the cause.

So much so that in the previous life, Da Mimi couldn't help but come back to live on her old savings.

TV series like "Negotiator", "Eye of the Storm", and "Thank You Doctor" all follow a similar model, except that the professions have been changed from translators to negotiators, national security officers, and doctors.

As I said, most of them are Mary Sue stories under the banner of female independence.

But then again, if you really shoot it realistically, the results will be unpredictable.

Most of the current audiences like Mary Sue. The market performance is there, and the capital is not stupid.

It wasn't until a few years later that some audiences became immune to, or even resistant to, Mary Sue plots, and some film and television companies saw the light and began to promote real workplace dramas that touched the hearts of workers.

But even at that time, Mary Sue still occupied a large market. After all, most of the audience watched the show to relax and have fun.

The light-hearted and powerful plot, and the heroine's good ending, can bring a good mood to the audience. Sugar may not fill you up, but it can satisfy your cravings.

But being too real can easily break the audience's defenses.

Life is hard enough, and watching TV dramas makes it even harder. Isn't this just rubbing salt into the wound?

So dramas like "Dear Translator", "My First Half of Life" and "Strategy of the Ming Palace" may have their own shortcomings, but their market prospects are definitely bright.

At the same time, it also directly revealed that current TV dramas have begun to shift towards the female market in great strides.

The ownership of TV remote controls and website clicks is caused by social factors, which even Wei Yang is powerless to change.

What he can do is to shoot the projects in which Blue Whale participates well, avoid some gender-antagonistic clichés, and at the same time produce some popular film and television dramas that suit the tastes of men and women, so as to bring back as many male audiences as possible.

Da Mimi plays the leading role in "Dear Translator", and director Blue Whale sent out the ace director Liu Junjie.

Director Liu in this time and space has achieved much more than in his previous life.

Most of the hit urban dramas produced by Blue Whale and related companies were shot by him, and he is known as the "No. 1 in Modern Dramas".

At the same time, as a veteran of Blue Whale and a nobleman of Wei Yang, he serves as the artistic director of Blue Whale, has a lot of say in the company, and has a very high status in the entire industry.

It is not easy to invite him.

In addition to "Dear Translator", Fan Xiaopang's "My First Half of Life" which is about to be filmed recently and a modern drama crew of Blue Whale both want him to be the director, and the competition is extremely fierce.

It was because Wei Yang saw that Da Mimi Company urgently needed to make a successful debut that he passed the message to Liu Junjie.

Liu Junjie appears and Da Mimi stars, this configuration and gimmick are very impressive. Wei Yang also transferred Wang Kai to be the male lead of "Dear Translator".

Actually, at the beginning, Wei Yang wanted to transfer Qiao Zhenyu, but Qiao had taken on a drama before and his schedule was not very coordinated, and Fan Xiaopang also wanted to use him to play the male lead He Han in "My First Half of Life".

Director Wei Yang helped Da Mimi, but if he wanted to snatch the male lead, Fat Fan would have to come all the way from the capital to kill him.

This tiger woman is confident and has a bad temper. When she gets angry, even Boss Wei is afraid...

Wang Kai's status and fame are definitely not as high as Qiao Zhenyu's, but "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Pretender" will be released next year. By then, Wang Kai's career will have a big boost, and he will be very popular and impressive.

As for Tang Yan, there will be an Ode to Joy drama to be aired next year, and after that there will be a script for The Marriage of Legends that Wei Yang has been keeping for her.

This can be regarded as Tang Yan's representative work in her previous life, so Wei Yang has always been paying attention to it in the circle and got the script early.

I will take a look at the schedules and conditions of the male artists from Blue Whale and Coral Entertainment, and then wait for an opportunity to select the male lead. If it really doesn't work out, I will let Hu Ge take over.

Everyone said that Boss Wei stole Hu Ge's opportunity, but in fact, Wei Yang treated this senior brother very well.

The drama "Oranges in Huainan" back then might have been intended to take advantage of his popularity, but "The Legend of Mi Yue" is indeed Hu Ge's resource.

This time, "Marriage" can be considered a relatively impressive project, and Hu Ge was chosen as an important candidate, which shows that Boss Wei favors him.

Of course, Hu Ge’s own efforts are also an important reason.

Otherwise, Yuan Hong has a good relationship with him, but resources of this level are still not his. Without sufficient conditions, it is difficult for him to get support.

It is only for people like Li Jiahang and Zhao Liying that Boss Wei will go all out regardless of the cost and resistance, and believe that they will live up to his trust.

After all, there is a gap between their relationship with Yuan Hong and their trustworthiness is not high enough.

In the past, Wei Yang had stood up for Yuan Hong and Tang Ren, but as time went on, he could vaguely feel that the latter was indeed not lucky enough and could not shoulder the heavy responsibility.

You know, it's not like Boss Wei hasn't worked with Yuan Hong before, but Li Jiahang was able to rise from a supporting role, and several roles could even steal the limelight from the protagonist. The latter might have some effect, but it's far from being a big hit.

Sometimes even if you perform well, if you fail to meet expectations, you may miss opportunities.

If too many opportunities are missed, trust will be gone. Although resources are still there, they are not up to the task.

In comparison, Hu Ge lived up to Wei Yang's expectations. Maybe it wasn't as brilliant, but he also completed the assigned task.

With his ability, popularity, and good personal relationship, Wei Yang would naturally think of him once there was a suitable project at Blue Whale.

In addition, Tang Yan is inferior to Da Mimi after all. Even if Wang Kai's subsequent development is not strong, she can sell the drama at a high price by herself, and the results are guaranteed.

In comparison, Tang Yan is not so confident, so it would be more beneficial to the project to have a popular male lead.

Otherwise, even if Qiao Zhenyu, Li Jiahang and others are not available, there are still some new people in the company.

For example, Li Xian, who was signed not long ago, has gained some popularity because of "My Deskmate". There are also some decent newcomers under Yang Tianzhen, Fan Xiaopang and Da Mimi.

Nowadays, the shortage of male artists in the Blue Whale series has been greatly improved, but most of them have not yet become famous, otherwise even Hu Ge may not be able to compete with his own people.

Even now, hearing that Wei Yang favored Hu Ge, Da Mimi and Tang Yan looked at Wei Yang strangely.

"What do you mean?"

Boss Wei felt uncomfortable being stared at, and when the two looked at each other, Da Mimi spoke bluntly.

Wei Yang: “…”

I've already been in a few relationships, why are people out there staring at me and Li Jiahang...

Boss Wei was very hurt. Other idols kept their love affairs secret, so the paparazzi outside were trying to find out which woman they were intimate with.

Wei Yang's situation is special. He has no shortage of scandals and he is not too shy about it, so there is nothing new about it. As a result, a bunch of bastards keep an eye on him every day to see which guy he is doing well with and they have to throw some dirty water on him.

As time went by, and considering that Wei Yang really liked to play with Li Jiahang, he might have been jealous or just wanted to watch the fun.

Even his women would joke and tease the two of them from time to time. It was even said that Li Sheng did the same, complaining that Li Jiahang was more excited to play with Wei Yang than to see her.

Nonsense, Boss Wei took Li Jiahang everywhere to eat, drink and have fun, enjoying a luxurious and corrupt capitalist life.

He has to be a good husband to Li Sheng, working hard, contributing money and effort, and sometimes he has to be a punching bag. Li Jiahang is not mentally ill, so of course he likes to play with Wei Yang.

Fortunately, no matter how good brothers are, they cannot become daughters-in-law, so the relationship between Li Sheng and Li Jiahang is still very stable.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Previously in Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Li Jiahang and Wei Yang revealed that they planned to ask their parents to take time to meet during the Spring Festival.

If nothing goes wrong, we will find an auspicious day in 2015 to get married.

Thinking of this, Wei Yang felt a little melancholy. Now that his good brother was getting married, it would be inconvenient for him to take the blame in the future.

Li Jiahang:%&￥☆※

…

Wei Yang spent New Year's Day 2015 in Ningjingdongfang. He visited his parents at noon, and then spent the holiday with Da Mimi and Tang Yan.

It was not convenient for three people to go out to eat. Tang Yan and Da Mimi were not very good at cooking, and take-out seemed too perfunctory, so they decided to eat hotpot.

As it was getting close to evening, Da Mimi was mixing the seasoning on the table while Tang Yan went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients. Her cooking skills were average, but she had no problem chopping some vegetables.

As for Wei Yang, who is the best cook, it’s not that he is unwilling to cook, but he is busy making phone calls.

Liu Shishi is in Dali on the "Legend of Dance and Music" crew, and Zhao Liying is in Hengdian to take charge of the company's two crews and is also preparing for "Strategy of the Ming Palace". Neither of them is in Shanghai, which is why he is spending the holiday in Ningjingdongfang.

It's just that the two of them are not here, but they must call each other during the holidays, and the time will not be too short.

Boss Wei was well prepared and had set up his two mobile phones in advance, so even if two people called at the same time, he could handle it with ease.

Fortunately, I guess the two of them knew what was going on and didn't want to cause trouble during the holidays.

Zhao Liying was not filming at the moment, so she called in the evening. When it was getting dark, the two hung up the phone and Liu Shishi had just finished work, so she took over perfectly.

"Okay, have fun with the assistants and take a good rest. Bye."

Wei Yang hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he came out of the study, Da Mimi sneered.

"Oh, the call is over. I'm actually quite curious. New Year's Eve is fine, but what are you going to do on Valentine's Day?"

Da Mimi and Wei Yang have not been together for long and have no Valentine's Day experience, but she is curious about how Boss Wei will deal with this "nightmare".

Wei Yang said calmly: "I never celebrate foreign festivals."

"cut."

Tang Yan, who was carrying a plate of vegetables, exposed Wei Yang: "You don't get along with them, but I asked Shi Shi before, and it seems that the two of them only got along once before. He was busy the rest of the time."

"I don't think it's that simple."

Da Mimi is a smart person: "You wouldn't say you're busy to Shishi, and then go to spend the holiday with the other one, and then spend the holiday with Shishi next year and tell the other one that you don't have time. Tsk tsk, how shameless."

Wei Yang: “…”

Although I know I am a nobody and everyone knows it, it is enough to keep it to ourselves. Why do I have to say it out loud? I don't want to save face.

Wei Yang looked at Da Mi Mi and suddenly asked, "Do you know why I pursued Shi Shi instead of you?"

"Because she's easy to fool."

"…That's one reason. Another reason is that she knows not to be smart and knows that sometimes she should keep her mouth shut."

Da Mimi nodded in realization: "So I guessed right."

Wei Yang: “…”

Tang Yan was watching from the side trying to hold back her laughter. She was relatively submissive to Wei Yang, unlike Da Mimi who was always rebellious. So sometimes she quite enjoyed watching the two of them bickering and getting humiliated by each other.

When Wei Yang was trying to save face, his cell phone rang again. He looked at the incoming call and turned back to the study room in silence.

"snort."

Seeing this, Da Mi Mi snorted coldly: "I wonder which slutty fox this is."

Tang Yan smiled and gently bumped her shoulder: "Are you jealous?"

Da Mimi also loved to quarrel with Wei Yang in the past, but she usually wouldn't let him lose face like this. Today she was obviously a bit in a bad mood, probably because she was upset seeing Wei Yang hiding away and making phone calls.

"We finally get to spend the holidays together, and look how busy he is!"

Given the relationship between Tang Yan and Da Mimi, there is no need to hide this little thing. The two of them don't see Wei Yang very often, and they don't even get to see him on major festivals or birthdays. They finally get to spend New Year's Eve together, and Wei Yang is still busy with all kinds of things. It would be strange if Da Mimi didn't have any objections.

Although Da Mimi has many selfish motives when being with Wei Yang, it does not mean that she has no feelings for Wei Yang.

This kind of emotion is fine at other times, but it is inevitably magnified during festivals and other occasions, and the tolerance for Wei Yang also decreases.

Tang Yan naturally understood Da Mimi’s thoughts, but she didn’t say anything. Everyone has their own causes and consequences, and they choose their own path.

Before she could come to her senses, Da Mimi suddenly took out her cell phone and started making a call, then said something vicious.

"I'm going to fight him today."

Wei Yang didn't stay in the study for long and came out soon. He also knew that today was a special day and he had to give some face to Da Mimi and the others, so he turned off his phone after coming out to show his attitude.

Da Mimi was somewhat relieved, but she still didn't let him go, so when the takeaway she ordered arrived, Wei Yang's pressure doubled.

Wild turtle is stewed with native rooster, eel, pigeon, bullfrog, kidney, and some seemingly indescribable cattle and sheep items. A handful of chopped leeks and wolfberries are sprinkled on top. With this configuration, even hair falling in will turn into wire.

It's bad, tonight is a life-and-death game...
