Boom boom boom——
"The door is open."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Shishi squeezed in with a fruit plate and came close to Wei Yang: "Try it, Liu Yan sent it, and these strawberries are picked specially from the orchard."
Wei Yang was busy typing and his hands were busy, so Liu Shishi simply fed him the two with her hands.
"How is it? Sweet, right?"
"Yes, you two have a good relationship now."
"Of course not. Ever since I helped her last time and we are going to work together on the movie 'Witch', we have a very good relationship. She always remembers to give me a portion of her delicious food. She even made an appointment to go shopping with me a few days ago. Mimi and the others are jealous."
Liu Shishi was in a good mood when she mentioned Liu Yan. She made a little effort and showed off a lot of face, gained countless good reputations, and also gained a good friend.
"Why don't we invite her to our house for dinner someday?"
Liu Shishi suddenly suggested that, as mentioned before, for her and Boss Wei, paying for a meal was nothing, and only when someone could be a guest at their home could they be considered true family members.
"You're not on guard against me anymore?"
Wei Yang was a little curious. Liu Shishi and Liu Yan had always had a good relationship, and their friendship had grown by leaps and bounds during this period. However, Liu Shishi had never asked Wei Yang to come home, or even invited him to have dinner or a party outside.
Obviously, this is because they suffered losses at the hands of Da Mimi and Tang Yan, and have become more vigilant in this regard.
It's not just Liu Yan. Except for the married and some in relationships, all other female star friends, including single Liu Shishi, try their best to avoid meeting Wei Yang.
Among them, Liu Yan is the one who needs to be watched out for, after all, her capital is too strong.
Liu Shishi has always believed that Wei Yang was won over by Da Mimi because of her broad mind, not to mention Liu Yan who is even more capable than her.
And she clearly remembered that when filming "Joy of Life", she caught Wei stealing glances at Liu Yan more than once.
Boss Wei would like to clarify this point. He really had no other thoughts at that time and it was purely from an appreciation perspective.
Besides, he wasn't the only one who was peeking at her at the time. Every male in the crew had glanced at her a few times.
As a man, who can turn a blind eye to two mountains?
But no matter what, Liu Yan had an appointment with Liu Shishi. Even though they had a good relationship, she never let Wei Yang get involved. There must be a reason for her sudden change of heart this time.
"I'm not as dirty as you think... Well, she has a companion."
Liu Shishi wanted to refute at first, trying to prove that loyalty came first, but seeing Boss Wei's half-smile, she revealed the truth.
"You have a partner?!"
Wei Yang was a little surprised, this was a big news. Liu Shishi had some misunderstandings and looked at him unhappily.
"Why, are you unhappy?"
"Why should I be unhappy? I'm just simply curious. Didn't you hear the letter?"
Wei Yang's gossipy look made Liu Shishi relax a little: "She's outside the circle, and seems to be doing business. I just found out about it not long ago. They have known each other and been dating for about half a year. It's considered stable before Liu Yan spoke up."
"Outside the circle? Be careful with this one, check the background, don't get fooled."
When people in the entertainment industry fall in love, there are only a few main reasons for looking for a partner.
First of all, people in the circle. The social circle of most artists is actually not that big, so they deal more with people in the same industry, are more familiar with each other, and relatively know each other's background. Moreover, people in the circle have a better understanding of work, and they may be able to pull resources from each other and help each other.
This does not distinguish between men and women. There are examples of the strong paired with the weak, the weak paired with the strong, the strong paired with the strong, and even artists + behind-the-scenes staff. It mainly depends on personal experience.
Secondly, there are the staff around them, most of whom are male stars, with whom they have developed deep feelings for each other over time, know each other well, and are even simply trapped and have no choice but to follow their lead.
There are relatively few female stars, and the "staff" who can win over them are more likely to be bosses or extremely capable agents.
Most women admire strong men. It’s okay to play around with them, but when it comes to looking for a serious partner, I’m afraid not many actresses would be willing to find a gigolo who relies on them for a living.
For people outside the circle, there are actually differences between men and women here.
Artists have different motivations for looking for people outside the industry, and it is impossible to make a rough count.
But most of the male stars prefer to take care of their husbands and children, earn money by themselves, and their wives take care of the children at home. It is rare to find a beautiful, rich and wealthy wife.
Female stars, on the contrary, still have a veneration for the strong. Except for those who like to hook up with young and handsome men, the boyfriends of most female stars are mostly wealthy men or second-generation rich men.
Especially in the early days when artists had low incomes, countless female stars considered it their mission to marry into wealthy families.
Now as celebrities make more money, and the lives of those who marry into wealthy families are constantly exposed, everyone knows that it is not easy to be a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, and the public opinion has changed a little. But even so, those who can date female stars must be wealthy.
But at the same time, there is an additional disadvantage, that is, female stars have become rich, and many people begin to treat them as targets for fishing.
Some are just there to pick up girls, which is fine, at most they can just steal their sex appeal. What's worse is that some of them pretend to be entrepreneurial elites, rich kids, etc., not only to steal their sex appeal but also their money.
There are many examples of this in the entertainment industry, but most of the victims cannot speak out due to their face and status.
In Wei Yang's previous life, there was a female star in his company who met a business elite who was said to be in the Internet industry. She thought she would become the wife of the boss, but she ended up sleeping with him for almost two years and lost nearly 20 million yuan in the name of investment.
The key point seemed to be that they had been caught with some evidence and they didn't even dare to call the police. When they tried to seek revenge, they were also rejected. They could only grit their teeth and swallow it.
Because of this, Wei Yang has always been prejudiced against the so-called elites outside the circle. Unless they have a real name and a business, they will be marked with a "?".
“This needs to be taken seriously.”
After listening to Wei Yang's words, Liu Shishi also felt that there was no harm in investigating. Even if he was really rich, who knew what he was doing.
Those who make money through illegal means are all wealthy, but who knows if there are any big risks involved. It is definitely not a good match.
"It's fine if you just give her some advice, but don't interfere. If she wants to investigate, let her do it herself, so that she won't be blamed if there are any mistakes."
Wei Yang added that some people think that checking background and household registration is quite taboo, just like Qu Xiaoxiao in "Ode to Joy", she likes to use this trick and is criticized by many people.
As a good friend, Liu Shishi can remind her, but she doesn’t need to tell her whether to check or how to check.
When it comes to matters of the heart, it’s not good for outsiders to get too involved, lest they become unpopular with both sides…
After chatting with Liu Yan for a while, Liu Shishi took a curious look at Wei Yang's computer.
“Is this a new script?”
Wei Yang came back from Shandong Province these two days. He didn't spend time with her in his free time, but was typing on the computer.
Liu Shishi was very familiar with this situation. Most of the time, Wei Yang was in a hurry to revise the script, or he had some good ideas but was afraid that he would forget to make an outline later.
Wei Yang, who was originally a screenwriter, has never given up his old profession. Regardless of whether the film is being filmed or not, he writes whenever he has inspiration and has accumulated a lot of ideas.
When he had a strong desire to create, he would even stay in his study for the whole day. This often gave his women a headache.
Because creation is no different from other things. Most desk work can be put aside and can be easily resumed later. However, creation requires passion. Once the inspiration is interrupted, it will be gone. If Wei Yang is in the mood, he will ignore sexual temptation.
Fortunately, although Wei Yang doesn't like being disturbed when he is creating, he will always say so clearly or even lock the door directly.
It doesn't matter if I come to deliver things now, and I can also chat with you. It's just a break in the middle of the show. Liu Shishi asked about the script.
Wei Yang likes to talk to others about the scripts he has written, to show off his talent, gain praise and recognition, and possibly get some inspiration, which is more beneficial to his creation.
Wei Yang explained and also added some personal opinions, saying that he was studying in the United States and did not get involved in those messy things.
Unfortunately, Liu Shishi didn't buy it at all. Even if Da Mimi hadn't reported it to her, based on Wei Yang's character, she could roughly guess what the filming in the United States was like.
Too lazy to argue with this bastard, she was more curious about Wei Yang's script: "Northern and Southern Dynasties, it's a bit less popular."
"It's cold, but it's not cold either."
In China, the most historical themes are based on the Qing Dynasty. Strictly speaking, other dynasties are considered "unpopular", so many other historical themes focus on well-known kings, princes, generals and ministers. Rather than being historical dramas, they are more like personal biographies.
Although the Northern and Southern Dynasties may seem unpopular, there are actually quite a few works that have a certain influence.
For example, "Legend of Lu Zhen" and "Prince of Lanling", which have performed well in recent years, are both based on the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In addition, "Nirvana in Fire", the prototype of the story background also comes from the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Sometimes, the audience's acceptance is still very high.
In other words, the vast majority of ordinary people have no knowledge of most history and may not even be able to distinguish the chronological table of dynasties learned in high school.
To them, the Northern and Southern Dynasties were not much different from the Han, Tang, Song, etc. At most, they knew fewer historical figures. If you don’t believe me, just go ask on the street.
Read the original text at Liu#9@书/吧!
Wang Meng of the Former Qin Dynasty, who was known as the enhanced version of Zhuge Liang, Wang Zhongsi, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, and even Wang Bo'an, the "sage" of the Ming Dynasty, at least half of the people don't know who they are, and this is an extremely conservative estimate.
Even in the Qing Dynasty, which has seen many film and television dramas, the famous warriors Agui, Zhaohui, Fei Yanggu, and Fukangan are not as famous as the fictional Wei Xiaobao.
Therefore, although the fact that historical dramas are unpopular is a disadvantage that cannot be ignored, the real key is whether the plot content and the cast can impress the audience.
If the drama is bad, the dynasty will become less popular! If the drama is good, the fictional dynasty will still be popular!
Liu Shishi actually has some experience in this regard. Although she has filmed fewer Tangren dramas in her life, she has filmed "Legend of Dance and Music".
This was during the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang, and the main content involved diplomatic missions of ethnic minorities. It couldn't be colder, but the results were still good.
"So which dynasty are you writing about, and who is the protagonist?"
Liu Shishi continued to ask questions. Although she was not familiar with the history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, she knew that there were many changes of regimes during this period, and most historical themes were centered on a certain historical figure.
For example, "The Legend of Lu Zhen" is about the famous Northern Qi woman Lu Zhen and the Northern Qi Emperor Wucheng Gao Zhan, and "Prince of Lanling" is the name of a person, namely Gao Changgong, a famous Northern Qi general.
"It's mainly about the confrontation between the Eastern and Western Wei. If nothing unexpected happens, the protagonist should be Gao Huan, the Shenwu Emperor of Northern Qi. Another important character is Yuwen Tai. There are two male protagonists. I have already thought of the name of the script, "Chi Le Chuan" or "The Two Prideful Emperors of the Northern Dynasty", "The Two Prideful Emperors of the Northern Kingdom" is also OK..."
Wei Yang was very excited when talking about the script he was writing. Just as he was about to start talking about it, he saw Liu Shishi looking at him blankly.
"Who is Gao Huan? Is he very powerful?"
Wei Yang: “…”
"Who is Yuwen Tai?"
Wei Yang: “…”
Wei Yang really wanted to ask Liu Shishi who she knew during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but he decided not to humiliate himself.
I guess apart from a few people in history and Chinese textbooks, and those whose names she knows from TV dramas, she has no impression of most other people.
It is hard to say whether Gao Huan and Yuwen Tai can rank in the top ten in terms of public recognition during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
The most famous emperor of the Northern and Southern Dynasties should be Liu Yu. After all, many people have memorized the sentence "People say that Ji Nu once lived here. Thinking back to those days, there were swords and horses, and they were as fierce as tigers. "
As for the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi, the most famous ones should be those lunatics in the Gao family.
As a normal person, Gao Huan was abandoned by marketing accounts, and the most they mentioned was that he was cuckolded by his son.
However, Wei Yang was not blind to pick a historical figure at random. As the true founder of the Northern Qi Dynasty of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Gao Huan was like Cao Cao of Cao Wei. Although he was not the founding emperor, there was not much difference in essence.
Gao Huan came from a poor family. He was just a soldier on guard at the beginning, not much better than Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, he was not like Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a poor peasant for eight generations. Several generations of his ancestors had been officials, and his grandfather had even been a Censor.
Later, he broke the law and was exiled to a border town. His family fell into poverty. His father was a playboy, and Gao Huan was raised by his sister and brother-in-law since childhood.
But Gao Huan had an advantage, that was he was handsome, and history recorded him as having "bright eyes, a long head and high cheekbones, teeth as white as jade, a rare outstanding appearance".
So, he was noticed by a rich and beautiful woman named Lou Zhaojun, who married him with a lot of dowry. Only then was Gao Huan able to own a horse and become a team leader. Later, he specialized in delivering couriers and gradually rose to prominence.
Therefore, [Gouzi historiography] cannot be applied to Gao Huan. He did not need to use any backdoor and could rely on his looks to live a life of luxury, but he still lived a life of luxury in a very difficult way.
And it can be eaten not only when you are young, but also when you are old.
Later, he contacted the Rouran for help, and they sent their princess to marry Gao Huan's son. However, the princess fell in love with the already old Gao Huan and insisted on marrying him. Even when Gao Huan was sick, she would not let him go and would carry a stretcher to the princess to pay her tax.
This is a rare handsome emperor in history, and it can be said that Boss Wei wanted to write this script in large part because this character is so immersive.
Gao Huan's life experience is also very fatalistic, which makes it quite suitable to be made into a TV series.
He was born in the lower class, was appreciated by others, and gradually became the backbone of the group. Suddenly, the boss Erzhu Rong died, and he started to make bold moves, fooling people and fighting wars, and slowly became the greatest warlord in the world.
Just when he was about to unify the north and even the whole country, his mortal enemy, Yuwen Tai, suddenly appeared.
The two men almost divided the north equally, fought against each other, had their share of wins and losses, and had countless famous scenes. It can be said that this was the most exciting period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
In the end, Gao Huan suffered a great defeat at Yubi City, where 70,000 men died. He died in depression to the sound of the song "Chi Le Chuan".
When Wei Yang learned about Gao Huan's deeds, his first reaction was that it was very suitable to be adapted into a script, with his rise and prosperity in the early and middle stages, the emergence of his archenemy in the middle and late stages, and the heroic demise in the finale.
Beginning - climax - grand climax - tragic ending.
Even if you hire a screenwriter to write the story yourself, he may not be able to write such a standard and dramatic plot.
Moreover, the character is extremely charming, and if portrayed well, he may become a classic emperor role in TV dramas.
The emperor that Wei Yang has played before was Li Chengyin in "The East Palace". I was quite satisfied with him before, but now he seems a little thin.
Some time ago, Zhang Yongxin brought the script of "The Advisors Alliance" and wanted Wei Yang to try the role of Sima Yi. Boss Wei was tempted for a while, but now he thinks that the drama he made is also good.
Since he could play the role of King Gao, he naturally didn't want to play the old thief Sima!
However, this drama is not without disadvantages. One is that the dynasty is unpopular as Liu Shishi mentioned. Although it does not have fatal side effects, it still has an impact.
The other is the script, which is almost completely original. Without the original work as a reference, Boss Wei was more or less a little worried.
After all, if this project is launched, it will involve a lot of big scenes and the investment cost will definitely not be low. It would be fun if it fails.
Losing money is secondary. The real loss would be to break Boss Wei's undefeated streak.
In comparison, although "The Advisors Alliance" also has some problems, it is a work that has proven itself in the previous life. If Wei Yang plays the role, it will definitely be an all-round improvement.
Moreover, the old thief Sima also has his own way of filming. He is extremely good at disguise, cunning and insidious, and eventually deceived the world's hero Zhonghu.
So even though Wei Yang was very knowledgeable when talking about the script, he was still hesitant about which one to shoot.
Fortunately, the script will take some time to write, so there is still time for discussion and consideration.
