There were several cold weapons in Tang Chen Yipin's study. The coolest one was a Kanglong mace with a gold dragon pattern, imitating the style of "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame". Sometimes when Wei Yang was in the mood, he would touch it longer than she did.

What really interested her was the discussion between Wei Yang and Lu Yu about what Wei Yang and Lu Yu mentioned, and the new drama that extended from it.

"What script is this?"

"It's tentatively scheduled to be "Chi Le Chuan", my next new play."

Fatty Fan's eyes lit up slightly: "Does the female lead have a lot of scenes? Is she suitable for me? Is she outstanding?"

Wei Yang was curious: "Aren't you going to have a baby?"

"Having a baby doesn't necessarily mean you have to delay filming. You can still film during early pregnancy or after giving birth. Tell me, who is the female lead?"

"The female lead is Lou Zhaojun. She doesn't have many scenes. She is just a good wife who helps the male lead. And there is more than one female lead. There are others as well."

Fatty Fan laughed angrily: "Oh, there are still several of them. They are playing very wildly. If reality is not enough, they also want to hug left and right in the play."

"I am innocent."

Boss Wei cried out loudly, saying that "Chi Le Chuan" is a historical theme, adapted from real history, and the female protagonists are also based on historical facts.

In fact, compared with real history, Wei Yang wrote everything in the script out of context.

Emperor Gao Huan of Northern Qi was notoriously romantic. His tastes were similar to those of Cao Cao. He took many wives and especially liked to have affairs with royal wives.

The most famous are the Erzhu Empresses.

Empress Erzhu was the daughter of Erzhu Rong, a noble lady in Gao Huan's life. She was once the concubine of Emperor Xiaoming of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yuan Xu, and later the empress of Emperor Xiaozhuang of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yuan Ziyou. After the death of the first two emperors, she finally fell into Gao Huan's hands.

The Little Empress Erzhu was the daughter of Erzhu Zhao, Gao Huan's sworn brother, and the niece of the Big Empress Erzhu. She was once the empress of Emperor Jianming Yuan Ye.

Later, Lao Gao came to reunite with her nephew. I don’t know how Erzhu Rong and Erzhu Zhao felt when they knew about this.

The most outrageous thing is that Gao Huan played very wildly.

It is rumored that when he met Empress Erzhu, he always called her "Empress" and called himself "subject" and "lower official". He was particularly respectful to Empress Erzhu, and then he and Empress Erzhu had two sons.

In addition, Gao Huan also took in Zheng Da Che, the wife of Yuan Ti, the Prince of Guangping of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Li, the wife of Yuan Hui, the Prince of Chengyang of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Feng, the wife of Yuan Yi, the Prince of Rencheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty and later the wife of Erzhu Shilong, the cousin of Erzhu Rong.

With two queens and three princesses, Prince Gao not only plays tricks more than Prime Minister Cao, but also plays them more sophisticatedly.

In addition, it is said that King Gao also had a first love, Han Zhihui. When Gao was young, he wanted to marry her, but Han’s family thought his family was poor. Later, King Gao became successful and fulfilled his childhood dream.

Historical records show that Han's husband at the time died, but it is hard to say whether she was a real widow or not.

Therefore, later emperors of the Gao family were all licentious, immoral and insane. It is hard to say who transmitted their insane behavior, but the blame for their licentiousness cannot be placed on others, as King Gao himself was not clean.

Wei Yang really wanted to film all these women with stories, but the impact would be too bad and it would easily distract the plot, so he could only choose the best ones and only mention the others occasionally.

Among them, Lou Zhaojun is definitely going to be filmed, and she is a key role.

Empress Erzhu and Princess Rourou also appear in the script and have their own positions.

One was the eldest daughter of the Erzhu family. She had a crush on the then fledgling Gao Shuaige and helped him several times. Later, for some reason, they did not end up together. After Yuan Ziyou died, she followed Gao Huan as she wished.

In addition to the marriage alliance, Princess Rourou also served as a stimulant for Gao Huan in his middle age, allowing him to regain the feeling of his youth.

In most dramas about emperors, there will be such a female character in the middle and late stages. This is both a historical fact and can be used to adjust the plot.

As for Zheng Dache, the cuckolded character of King Gao, Boss Wei hasn't decided yet whether to give him a role, but no matter what, his importance is definitely not as great as the previous ones.

Although several of them are claimed to be the heroines, the real heroine and the main emotional line is still Lou Zhaojun.

Wei Yang also incorporated the story of King Gao's first love, including first love, white moonlight, young couple, helping each other in getting started, and a lifetime of support. Especially in the middle and early stages, his role can be said to be firmly in the top three.

Boss Wei was even considering whether to have a full-scale meeting with Yuwen Tai and have Lou Zhaojun join him during this period.

According to official history, Yuwen Tai was eleven years younger than Gao Huan, and in ancient times they could even be considered to be of different generations.

In the early and middle period of Gao Huan's reign, Yuwen Tai had little presence at all. Strictly speaking, it was only after the death of Gao Huan's opponent Heba Yue that Yuwen Tai inherited his power and grew into Gao Huan's lifelong enemy.

So Wei Yang once thought about blurring out Yuwen Tai's age a little bit.

He was made to be about the same age as Gao Huan, and the story of the two heroes fighting from youth to old age was filmed. This was also the reason why the film was intentionally named "The Twins of the North".

Gao Huan and Yuwen Tai, one was a poor soldier on guard, the other was the son of a local tyrant, and with Lou Zhaojun added in, a love triangle was formed.

In the end, the poor loser defeated the rich second generation, and Gao and Yuwen also started a lifelong struggle.

Later, Gao Huan led the Six Garrisons in an uprising, and Yuwen Tai suppressed the uprising. Later, Gao Huan defected to Erzhu Rong and joined the official army. Many people in Yuwen Tai's family died, so he joined the uprising team. The two of them were completely different, but in the end they both followed Erzhu Rong.

After that, Gao Huan rose to power. Yuwen Tai assisted Heba Yue and incorporated his forces after his death. Eventually, he and Gao Huan competed against each other.

This kind of writing is full of fatalism and is generally consistent with historical facts.

Later I felt that it was a bit superfluous. There was no need for Lou Zhaojun to be involved in a love triangle. It was not only old-fashioned but also low-brow.

It is not easy to control the rhythm and plot of a drama with two heroes, and it is difficult to pick an actor who can stand on equal footing with Boss Wei. It would be better to just take Gao Huan as the main line, and Yuwen Tai can at most add some scenes, but there is no need to make him a dual male protagonist.

So "The Twins of the Northern Kingdom" became "Chi Le Chuan", with Yuwen Tai as the second male lead and Gao Huan's role greatly enhanced.

But no matter what, the character of Lou Zhaojun runs through the whole play and involves many key plots, so she is still quite important.

There is definitely no problem for Fan Xiaopang to act, but it is a bit of a waste.

After all, "Chi Le Chuan" is a man's play, and most of it is about war and battle. Fan Xiaopang can start a project of his own, so it's a bit of an overkill to come here and play a female lead whose role can't even be ranked third.

But now that Fan Xiaopang is thinking about having a child, she really can't take on the responsibility herself for the time being.

If the timing is right and it doesn't affect the pregnancy, and the filming of Lou Zhaojun's scenes is easy, it would be nice to go to Boss Wei to get some exposure and popularity, and it could also help conceal the pregnancy to a certain extent.

However, no matter how much we say, it is just an intention now, and many things are still uncertain.

When the drama will be filmed and when Fan Xiaopang will get pregnant are still unknown. There is no need to make a decision now. Let's wait and see the situation later.

As far as Boss Wei is concerned, he actually does not approve of Fan Xiaopang playing the role in "Chi Le Chuan".

In his opinion, filming is secondary, the child is the key. Anyone can play Lou Zhaojun, and Fan Xiaopang is not young anymore, so there is no need to take risks with the mother and daughter.

If possible, Boss Wei wanted Zhao Liying to play the role, so that she wouldn't keep complaining about how little she and Wei Yang had acted in the movies, and then use the matter to trick him again.

Lou Zhaojun's importance was not insignificant. They were to be husband and wife for life, and she was the main wife. I believe this could impress Zhao Liying and also relieve Boss Wei's worries.

As for Princess Rourou, since she is a foreigner and doesn't have many scenes, Wei Yang plans to let Naza or Rouba make a cameo appearance, which can be considered an easter egg.

In fact, compared to these female protagonists, what gives Boss Wei the most headache is the casting of the male characters.

Who will play the great general Hou Jing?

Who will play Xiang Yu and Gao Aocao in today's world?

Who will play the fiery emperor Yuan Ziyou who killed the powerful minister? Who will play Wei Xiaokuan, the defender of Gao Huan's Happy City Yubi City? And in Wei Yang's mind, the two most important characters in "Chi Le Chuan" besides Gao Huan are Yuwen Tai and Erzhu Rong.

One was Gao Huan's lifelong enemy, and the other was a nobleman who played a decisive role in Gao Huan's life. If you want to film Gao Huan, it is impossible to ignore these two people.

When Wei Yang was writing the script, he spent a considerable amount of time picking and choosing, but he never felt particularly satisfied.

Therefore, it is better to use copied works, as there are original actors as reference. Now Boss Wei has to figure out everything himself. It is conceivable that the casting work of "Chi Le Chuan" is bound to be higher than that of most of Boss Wei's previous dramas.

Fan Xiaopang was not stubborn about the role of Lou Zhaojun. After Wei Yang nodded that he would consider her, he did not insist too much and continued watching the show.

Then he heard Boss Wei refuting the rumors about his own suffering, which made Fat Fan cover his mouth and laugh.

Although Boss Wei explained it clearly, it is an indisputable fact that he lived with his eldest aunt in high school. Some details also revealed that his family was indeed not well-off.

The so-called grassroots and poor labels are not wrong. There is no rule that only poor children from ragged families can turn their lives around to be inspiring.

The fact that a child from an ordinary family could achieve such a career is enough to attract everyone's attention and admiration.

The barrage of comments full of emotion and praise made Boss Wei feel a little proud.

But at least he still has some idea and knows that most of his achievements are really due to luck. This is one of the reasons why Boss Wei has never been so arrogant.

Compared to the average audience, Fan Xiaopang's thoughts were a little weirder: "I didn't expect that Boss Wei could be so miserable. If I had known, I would have taken care of you."

She also counted on her fingers and found that Wei Yang went to college in 2006 and was a high school student in 2004 and 2005.

Although Fan Xiaopang was not a famous star at that time, she was still a popular young actress, and it was easy for her to keep a poor high school student.

"Tell me the truth. Did you have any intentions towards your sister when you were little? Did you have other intentions when you asked me to act in "My Love from the Star" to fulfill your childhood dream?"

Fan Xiaopang proudly began to interrogate. Wei Yang thought about it and realized that he really grew up watching Fan Xiaopang's plays.

Fan Xiaopang debuted early. He was only seventeen years old when he filmed "My Fair Princess". When the drama was popular in 1998, Wei Yang was still in elementary school.

He remembered that he watched the drama with his parents every day at that time, but he had no interest in Jinsuo at that time. His favorite actress was Ziwei and Ruby Lin. Later, he liked Qing'er more.

Later, when he was a little older, he did watch the movies filmed by Fan Xiaopang, but there were not many that interested him. He preferred the Hong Kong stars of the early years.

On the contrary, Wang Yuyan, played by Liu Tianxian in the 2003 "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", really amazed the young Boss Wei at the time.

There was a time when she was really Boss Wei's dream goddess.

However, later on, these stunning roles were played by Zi Xuan and Long Kui in Chinese Paladin 3, Guo Xiang in The Return of the Condor Heroes, Xue Shanshan in Here Comes My Love, and a bunch of other actresses, while Liu Tianxian’s image gradually faded away…

After his rebirth in this life, Boss Wei enjoyed many beautiful women, and his memories of those years became even more faint.

What Wei Yang remembers most about Fan Xiaopang is actually his demeanor after he became famous.

The moment when Fan Bingbing shouted "I am a wealthy family" was the peak of her charm. Regardless of her reputation afterwards, her appearance has always been the best in the entertainment industry. It was at that time that Boss Wei's lustful thoughts began to arise.

As for her early works, the ones that moved him the most were Daji in "Investiture of the Gods" and the Golden-Haired Rat in "Fortune Star Pig Bajie".

Especially the Golden-Haired Rat, which made Wei Yang realize for the first time how handsome Fan Xiaopang was.

Forget about the others, as someone’s representative works are really limited.

Therefore, it is nonsense to say that he was obsessed with Fan Xiaopang's beauty when he was a child. The reason why Wei Yang asked him to film "My Love from the Star" was more due to the influence of his previous life.

"Although I was poor when I was young, I did see beautiful women."

"Who is as beautiful as me?"

Fan Xiaopang was very dissatisfied. When it came to looks, she was never afraid of anyone. Even those older generation Hong Kong stars, she had enough confidence.

"Of course you are beautiful now, but a dozen years ago, haha."

Boss Wei is not being mean, but Fan Xiaopang's early look as a country girl with a highland red complexion is really not competitive compared to those Hong Kong stars who were at the peak of their looks in the 80s and 90s.

Fatty Fan wanted to argue, but Wei Yang simply took out some photos.

At that time, Fan Xiaopang had some baby fat on his cheeks, and his eyes and eyebrows could not hide his immaturity, coupled with his poor makeup, hairstyle and clothing style that were too conservative to conform to the times.

Fan Bingbing immediately lost her temper: "Delete it, delete it, don't keep it."

"If I don't delete it, when I show it to my son, it will be all his dirty history."

Fan Xiaopang was so angry that he bit him. Wei Yang struggled and fought for a while. Fan Xiaopang couldn't do anything with Wei Yang, so he simply started searching the entire Internet for ugly photos of Wei Yang, to create a [balance of ugly photos].

Unfortunately, this is completely useless. There are very few photos of Wei Yang when he was a child. Most of them are kept at home, and there are few strange photos.

When I was in school, mobile phones had limited functions and I didn’t have many photos. The ID photos and the very few group photos were all of me, a well-behaved, handsome boy with clear eyes and bright features.

Even his hairstyle, in his previous life, Wei Yang had a non-mainstream style when he was in college. But in this life, Wei Yang will definitely not make mistakes, his hairstyle is either refreshing or neat, and his clothing style is also very good.

Since his debut, Wei Yang's appearance and temperament have been rising steadily. Even when he just debuted and had not yet been fully packaged, his charm far exceeded that of ordinary newcomers.

Fat Fan searched for a long time, but apart from forcibly selecting some inconspicuous photos, he couldn't find any dark history or sarcastic remarks.

"You are really handsome in every way."

"I can't help it. I have to go back and burn some incense. I don't know what blessings you accumulated in your previous life to have such a perfect man like me."

Fatty Fan: “Bah!”

The bastard is still installing it. He must have spent money to delete his black history. You bastard, I will remember this grudge and spank your son later...
