“Young people today are so crazy!”
In the Magic City, Fat Fan looked at the news on his phone and couldn't help but sneer.
The rise of the 90s flowers has created competition and conflict with the 85 flowers, but both sides are still relatively calm.
In the past few years, since the 85 flowers became famous, they have encountered countless challenges and controversies. Whenever there is a more popular one, the 85 flowers have to be complained about and give up their position.
Especially Rouba and Nazar, they have been the representatives of the 90s flowers since their debut. Later they became top stars one after another, and it is not the first time that they have been encouraged by the outside world to take over.
Of course, Rouba has indeed grown a lot this time, and can be considered to challenge the 85 flowers, but there is still a long way to go to replace them.
Even if Tang Yan is defeated, Rouba is not sure of winning no matter who of Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying, Da Mimi and Liu Tianxian is called out.
Therefore, the 85 flowers can keep their emotions stable. The future is the future. Even if the 90 flowers pose a threat again, the current situation is still in their hands.
The ones whose defenses were really broken were actually the earlier group of female stars who were ignored.
The 85 flowers are in the center of the stage, and the 90 flowers are here to grab their spots. Does that mean we are all doomed, right?
Most of these people are already over 30 years old, and their careers and families have entered a watershed stage. Many things are embarrassing and their emotions are sensitive.
The excuse of this wave of competition is generational renewal, but in reality every word is poking at the sensitive issue of age, which is really irritating to them.
Fan Xiaopang is the one who is doing the best among these female stars, and has encountered relatively fewer difficulties, but when she sees some of the words, they are still very glaring.
I’m still a few years away from turning 40, but I’m almost old enough to die…
Yuan Quan, who was standing next to him, took a look, shook her head and smiled: "A new generation replaces the old, it's like this everywhere, but it's faster in the entertainment industry."
Many people know that Yuan Quan is a talented actress and a well-known big star. In fact, she also wanted to develop into a young actress back then.
She has filmed several TV series, including Su Ying in "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
However, these dramas did not have any significant effect on Yuan Quan, so she began to develop her career in drama. Later, she signed with Bona and began to appear frequently in movies. She was well-known, but she was not popular in any aspect.
So she is quite open-minded about this aspect. After all, she never stood in the center of the stage from beginning to end.
Fatty Fan was still not satisfied: "It's normal to have an update and replacement. I just can't get enough of these people. They become arrogant when they are successful and don't know how to respect their elders."
Yuan Quan smiled but said nothing. She and Fan Xiaopang had actually known each other for a long time. They had filmed the previously mentioned "Little Fish and Flower" together.
Later, Fan Xiaopang left Huayi and worked briefly with Bona. They couldn't be called friends, but they were indeed acquaintances.
Although Yuan Quan is a few years older than Fan, the latter debuted earlier, so the two are of the same generation, and she has also seen some of Fan Xiaopang's behavior at that time.
Who can be crazier than Fan Xiaopang, who stepped on the four major actresses to get to the top? He was isolated by half of the female stars in the entertainment industry and was scolded online and offline.
In other words, he was lucky enough to meet Wei Yang, whose "My Love from the Star" and many other movies whitewashed and greatly improved his popularity and reputation. Otherwise, he would hardly have the confidence to make decisions.
In the crew of "My First Half of Life", Yuan Quan and Fan Xiaopang, a pair of "best friends", actually don't have a very good relationship.
Yuan Quan has a prejudice against Fan Xiaopang, and Fan Xiaopang also looks down on the latter's so-called "aloofness".
Originally, Qin Lan was intended to play the role of Tang Jing, but their schedules clashed. At that time, Fan Xiaopang asked Boss Wei for a recommendation, and the latter thought of Yuan Quan and turned her down.
After signing the contract, Yuan Quan's professional ability was beyond doubt, but the two did not get along well in private.
But at least it was for the sake of face, so Fan Xiaopang did not replace anyone. Everyone went their separate ways. After all, she was still played by others in the crew.
Wang Ou, a contracted artist of Bingyang Entertainment, is Fan Xiaopang's right-hand man, who has taken her with him in several of his dramas.
In "My First Half of Life", Wang Ou plays the third female role Ling Ling. Her acting skills may be a little worse than Wu Yue in the original version, but she looks pretty good now.
There is no way. Fan Xiaopang plays Luo Zijun, and his charm is upgraded to an epic level. No matter how considerate Wu Yue is, it is difficult for her to seduce a man from Fan Xiaopang.
Wang Ou is much better, at least her appearance is convincing, and the role of Chen Junsheng was also replaced.
Lei Datou is not bad, but he is not particularly outstanding either. However, he was able to win over Fan Xiaopang and Wang Ou in succession, which also seemed incongruous, so Sun Yizhou was replaced.
This guy, like Lei Datou, is a coward, which fits Chen Junsheng's character of being indecisive and stubborn.
More importantly, Sun is more handsome than Lei, which is relatively logical.
As an employee and subordinate of Fan Xiaopang, Wang Ou naturally follows her leader's pace in the crew, and Fan Xiaopang also becomes closer to her.
The atmosphere of the crew and the plot of the TV series itself can be regarded as forming a kind of black humor.
In the drama, the best friends look down on each other and instead get along well with the mistress.
Yuan Quan's reaction was flat, but Wang Ou was enthusiastically supportive: "Sister, you are absolutely right. The newcomers in the circle are indeed not as enthusiastic as before. They are full of impetuousness."
Wang Ou said this not just to flatter her boss.
In fact, Wang Ou is only one year younger than Fan Xiaopang. Her career is currently on the rise and she also has the ambition to stand center stage.
Fan Xiaopang found those words offensive, and she naturally felt uncomfortable seeing them. They both had the same attitude in this regard.
A thirty-year-old woman is in her prime, so why is she despised so much that she is swept into the "garbage dump"?
Fat Fan agreed with this and was full of fighting spirit: "Then let's teach them a lesson this time, what it means that old people are the wisest."
After this was said, not only did Wang Ou express her support, but even Yuan Quan's attitude softened a lot.
Although she was calm about it, it didn't mean that she didn't feel a little uncomfortable. Which woman would be indifferent as her youth faded away? Naturally, she also wanted to prove that this world doesn't only belong to young girls, they can also shine.
"Well, let's notify the publicity department and see if we can make something of this."
Fat Fan’s mind worked very quickly. He was quite angry just now, but after this discussion, he immediately saw the hot spot of the promotion.
The current market is constantly being refined, and idol dramas such as "Love O2O" are targeted at students and young people who have just entered society.
"My First Half of Life" is about a housewife returning to the workplace and finding a happy life. The market is more inclined towards housewives, older women, and single mothers.
Like Fan Xiaopang and the others, these people are also sensitive about the issue of age. They are taking advantage of this favorable situation to warm up for "My First Half of Life" which is about to be aired.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Quan couldn't help but look up to Fan Xiaopang. She originally thought that he mostly relied on Wei Yang, but now she thought that Fan did have some abilities of his own.
…
Fan Xiaopang's boast is not in vain! As one of the top stars today, she is one of the few actresses who can maintain her strength on both the big and small screens.
Rouba finally squeezed into the stage, but Fan Xiaopang has never left the center of the stage for all these years.
Liu Shishi's debut film "Assassins 2" achieved remarkable results and received high praise. As the heroine of "Wushuang", which had higher box office and better reputation, the benefits and exposure that Fan Xiaopang received can be imagined.
So far, "Wushuang" is still the second in this year's box office rankings.
As for "The Mermaid", which ranks first, not only is it quite controversial, the key point is that the female lead is just a newcomer and cannot suppress Fan Xiaopang at all.
In the past few years, among the four Dan and Shuang Bing actors, Fan Xiaopang was lagging behind in the film field.
If Zhou and Zhang were not both triple-Award winners and had representative works, Fan Xiaopang would have already overtaken them. Even if he failed to overtake them, Fan is currently recognized as the one with the most commercial film achievements among the few, even though he has been criticized for clinging to Boss Wei.
And on the small screen, although a certain Zhao and Zhou Gongzi have successively "descended to earth as gods", Fan Xiaopang still performs the best.
One drama “My Love from the Star” is enough to convince countless people, and the previous one “The Empress of China” was also a huge success.
Even though Fan Xiaopang's output on the small screen has been quite low in recent years, his appeal is surprisingly great.

On the day when "My First Half of Life" was first broadcast, it was on more than 20 hot searches at once, and was discussed on all online platforms. Baidu's film and television search index ranked first by a large margin.
Afterwards, it delivered a nearly perfect answer sheet with a premiere rating of 1.9, over 100 million views in 24 hours, and over 9,000 views on the entire network on the first day.
The momentum was so great that even Boss Wei was surprised. If they were to compete with Fan in the same premiere, most of the others would have to kneel except himself.
However, Fan Xiaopang was not satisfied with just the premiere, he personally led the team to promote "My First Half of Life", hoping that the show would become more and more popular.
The drama did not disappoint her expectations.
It has maintained an excellent performance trend on both television and online platforms, with increasing attention and constant hot searches every day.
Especially in the television field, it is quite popular and is seemingly competing with "Strategy of the Ming Palace" for the title of this year's ratings champion.
Several actors including supporting roles have been discussed a lot. She, the core female lead, is just like Rouba last month. She has been exposed countless times and is at the center of public opinion. She has never been off the major artist lists.
Although it is still a long way from what Fan Xiaopang imagined, to suppress everyone in one fell swoop, the fact that she produced a hit drama at her first attempt does prove her strength.
The popularity of "My First Half of Life" on the small screen, coupled with the hit of "Wushuang" during the summer, has also made Fan Xiaopang's halo increasingly dazzling.
The number one Chinese female star was already hailed a few years ago, and her voice is now getting louder and louder.
Fan Xiaopang is still as true to the character of Fan Ye who shouted "I am a wealthy family" back then. When faced with a question in an interview during the promotion, although she did not directly answer whether she is the number one Chinese female star, she also expressed it in a domineering manner.
“Who is more popular than me now?”
This question topped the Weibo hot search list and was used by Fan Xiaopang’s fans to clamor across the Internet.
At the level of female stars, whether it is the four Dan and two Bing who have begun to transform one after another, or the 85 flowers in their prime, or the 90 flowers who are rising wildly, compared with the current Fan Xiaopang, a rough calculation of fame and influence is indeed inferior.
Of course, the drama "My First Half of Life" is not perfect. Compared with its explosive performance, its reputation is relatively low among the dramas produced by the Blue Whale series this year.
The main controversy is that she was criticized for being Mary Sue and having a distorted outlook on life.
There is nothing that can be done about this. In fact, when Blue Whale was writing the script, they had already consciously tried to downplay and deal with some of the flaws in the plot, but the original work is like this. The foundation is not right, and no matter how much it is changed, it can't become a positive energy drama that praises truth, goodness and beauty.
In comparison, the fresh and clean themes like "Love O2O" may still have some flaws, but they are not so controversial.
Fortunately, Fan Xiaopang is open-minded. As long as the results are good and the quality and reputation are acceptable, she doesn't care whether her character is controversial or not.
The previous "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang" was also criticized by many people for being a white lotus queen, but it was harmless.
At this time, Fan Xiaopang's attention was focused on selling "My First Half of Life" to Hong Kong and Taiwan, and even exporting it overseas.
In this regard, Fan Xiaopang can be said to be the most powerful female star in the mainland, and even those 85 flowers are no match for her.
Long before "My Love from the Star", Fan Xiaopang was one of the few actresses who could sell dramas throughout Asia. After becoming famous in Asia for the role of Fan Qianqian and becoming an Asian superstar, her influence overseas has reached a new level.
As mentioned earlier, The Empress of China was very popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, especially in Taiwan, where it achieved outstanding results.
Later, this drama was also introduced to Japan and South Korea. Although it is not very popular, it is still well-known.
All these helped her accumulate a good market foundation. As soon as "My First Half of Life" became a hit, film producers, TV stations, and websites from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia came to her and offered high prices.
So much so that in December, Fan Xiaopang will travel to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea to promote "My First Half of Life".
It was precisely because the overseas copyright issue was exposed that many people realized that Fan Xiaopang was not only the leading actor of "My First Half of Life", but his Bingyang Entertainment was also the largest producer of the show.
Just like the previous "The Empress of China", considering the listing and other reasons, Bingyang Entertainment revealed some data to the public.
It did not specify how much the online copyright and television copyright were worth, only that each episode was 15 million yuan. However, "My First Half of Life" has a total of 42 episodes, which means that the revenue from film and television copyright alone is almost 630 million yuan.
Adding in miscellaneous revenues from advertising, overseas, and peripheral products, 800 million is the most conservative estimate.
Even if costs, taxes, dividends and other expenses are deducted, the remaining amount is enough to make a bunch of listed companies jealous.
Bingyang Entertainment has become famous!
Originally, in order to suppress Da Mimi's arrogance, Fan Xiaopang spread a rumor that the company's valuation was 1.7 billion. Now this rumor may come true, and it is very likely to be more than 1.7 billion.
Originally, Bingyang Entertainment only had one film, The Empress of China, but now it has added The First Half of My Life, which in a sense means that it has the qualifications to steadily produce hits.
Even though this qualification is too dependent on Fan Xiaopang himself and requires external support from Blue Whale, the real profit is obvious.
If the company is flawless and making a lot of money, who would want to raise funds for listing?
In today's entertainment capital market, bubbles are inevitable; it all depends on how bold you are.
It is said that some capital has already started to contact Bingyang Entertainment, with a valuation of over 2 billion+, but a lot of harsh listing terms were given, which were rejected by Fan Xiaopang, who is not short of money.
Even if the cooperation is not successful, this valuation is enough to make Fan Xiaopang, the major shareholder of Bingyang, "see a sharp increase in wealth."
Fat Fan is still very pleased with this, at least he doesn’t have to depend on this man for money for his son’s milk powder…
