Chapter 281 The Supporting Actors of "Joy of Life" Have Become Popular

The early plot of "Celebrating Yu Nian" is actually more of a foreshadowing, and then it is revealed little by little, and then it continues to leave buttons, while setting certain excitement points and burdens, ensuring the rhythm of the plot and improving the viewing experience.

A week after the TV series was broadcast, it actually ushered in the first climax of the show.

Teng Zijing was seriously injured and died while guarding Fan Xian!

Fan Xian fought Cheng Jushu for revenge for his friend!

Teng Zijing, played by Wang Yang, has a high proportion in the first dozen episodes, and even has the meaning of the second male lead. In name, he is a guard, but in fact, he is Fan Xian's friend, fellow traveler, and confidant.

In terms of the plot setting, Teng Zijing is also very likable. He is a righteous person, so he offends the powerful and has to hide his name, and even fakes his death to protect his wife and children, but he never changes his original intention.

From the second episode, the plot has been consciously shaping the relationship between the two people, and even added many scenes of his wife and children reuniting.

It seems useless, but in fact, the happier he is, the more miserable he will be when he dies, and the greater the impact.

Teng Zijing's death to save Fan Xian is the most tearful moment of the whole play, and it is also an important turning point for the character transformation of Fan Xian.

Before this, Fan Xian's character was a bit lazy, even muddled along, and he did not have any long-term goals. He was not interested in taking over the inner treasury and the Inspection Institute. When he came to the capital, he paid the most attention to the chicken leg girl.

Teng Zijing's death made him realize the contradiction between this era and his own thoughts, and that many things were not something he could avoid.

If he still held the same mentality as before, it would be Teng Zijing who died today, and another close person who would die tomorrow, or even himself.

TV dramas are different from novels. Novels can slowly lay the groundwork with millions of words, or a few paragraphs can change the mentality of the protagonist.

TV dramas are different. This is an audio-visual language, not just a few simple inner monologues. You have to reflect the contradictions and changes in the plot.

The death of an important supporting role is often the simplest and most effective approach.

It is worth mentioning that Teng Zijing was not very prominent in the original work. He was probably just a background board, similar to Fan Xian's bodyguards and NPCs in the early stage.

In the Battle of Niujie, he also participated in and protected Fan Xian, but he was only seriously injured and did not die. Instead, he lived well to the end and was reused by Fan Xian.

In the original novel, Fan Xian killed Cheng Jushu more for revenge, to vent his anger, and to deter and test the opposing forces.

This is also the biggest change between the script and the original characters. The male protagonists of Mao Ni generally have some sense of "I am the world", that is, I would rather let the world down than let the world let me down.

This setting is very normal. Most of the protagonists of online novels are like this. Readers are happy, not for you to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens.

But this setting is fine in online novels. The TV series still needs to be changed for the public's perception, so the drama version of Fan Xian should be more humane and glorious, and the characters should be positive while ensuring relative happiness.

So Fan Xian did not copy poems, but recited them; he was not tempted by lust, but was "forced"; he killed people and did things for himself, but also for friendship and justice.

For this reason, Wei Yang also explained on Weibo why the same screenwriter Wang Juan changed the original novel.

Of course, he couldn't say that the original male protagonist was selfish and the early plot was a bit flat, but he expressed the hope that he could create a "protagonist" and hoped that the audience would remember this role.

Maybe he was unknown in another time and space, didn't suffer too much, and stayed with Fan Xian until the end, but in this time and space, even if it was only dazzling for a moment, he was the protagonist of that moment.

Wei Yang was right. Many people may have various opinions on the role of Teng Zijing, and even the plot was a little deliberately sensational.

But this role stood!

Wang Yang, who played this role, was also remembered!

Wang Yang was born in 1978 and is about to celebrate his 34th birthday. After graduating from Shanghai Theatre Academy in 2002, he joined the People's Art Theater and mixed in the drama stage.

It was not until 2004 that he really starred in film and television for the first time, which was considered to be officially joining the entertainment industry.

In the following years, Wang Yang actually had good acting appointments, and even played the male lead, but they were all ordinary projects, and there was no movement. He was always not well-known, and it was a bit of a stretch to say that he was a third-tier artist.

He first emerged as the villain in "My Love from the Star". The crazy and stubborn role made him popular and famous, and he received many acting offers.

This time, Wang Yang participated in "Celebrating More Than Years", which was more or less a way of repaying a favor.

But unexpectedly, this role, which only had a few episodes, made him popular again and became a new masterpiece in his career.

Actors who know the business know that factors such as male and female protagonists and big productions are important, but in fact, what makes many actors most excited is a role that can be remembered by the audience.

You act in a hundred dramas, and people see you very familiar, but Aba Aba can't recognize you. You act in a few dramas. Although there are not many roles, the audience can still remember your appearance and role. This is a great honor for an actor.

The simplest example is that Fan Xiaopang was criticized before, one of the reasons is that he acted in too many dramas, but there was almost no representative role.

The drama was bad, and the role was not memorable.

What makes people remember you is just your identity as a star, which is fatal to an actor.

Wang Yang didn't have many roles in "Celebrating More Than Years", but he had an impressive Teng Zijing.

No matter where I see him in the future, I may not know his name, but I will remember his appearance and know who he is. This will not only increase his popularity and fame, but also be a recognition of his personal acting skills.

Any artist who has some aspirations for the acting profession will pay more attention to this kind of role.

Even Wang Yang himself did not expect that after so many years of acting, he has played several leading roles, but the two supporting roles are still the most recognized and remembered.

This also proves to a certain extent the ability of Blue Whale and Wei Yang to promote people.

Starting from the Zhenhua trilogy, Blue Whale can make several supporting roles popular in almost every play, at least their popularity has soared. The better the performance, the more popular they are.

"Celebrating More Than Years" is a group portrait, and even gives many minor supporting roles a "complete plot", which makes more supporting roles popular.

Wang Yang's Teng Zijing is just one of them.

Since the broadcast of "Celebrating More Than Years", the most popular supporting roles should be Fan Ruoruo played by Rouba and Emperor Qing played by Chen Baoguo.

Later, Zhang Yishan, Tian Yu, Liu Yan, Cui Peng (Wu Zhu), Huang Xuan (Second Prince), Zeng Li (Auntie Liu), Fei Jie (Liu Hua) and other role actors also attracted attention with their appearances and personal plots.

Those who are particularly outstanding or have a pleasing appearance and temperament have seen a sharp increase in popularity, such as Liu Yan, Huang Xuan, and Zeng Li, whose Weibo fans have also skyrocketed.

The biggest increase should be Tian Yu, who did not even have a Weibo account before that.

It was not until before the broadcast of "Joy of Life" that he verified his Weibo account with the help of the crew, and his initial fans were only a dozen or so.

Later, Wei Yang followed him and gained him some fans, but not much, after all, Wei Yang followed and interacted with many people, and mutual following was not uncommon.

After that, the official Weibo of "Joy of Life" generally x-on:him, which more or less promoted it.

Before the TV series was broadcast, Tian Yu's fans still did not exceed four digits.

But as the plot of "Joy of Life" was broadcast, the role of Wang Qinian became more and more, and even became the funny one to a certain extent, becoming one of the most likable characters in the play. The number of Tian Yu's Weibo fans increased by dozens of times.

From a few hundred to hundreds of thousands of fans, this is the change that Tian Yu has undergone in about ten days, and the speed is still rising.

After all, Wang Qinian didn't have many scenes in the early stage. After Teng Zijing was offline, he became an important assistant to Fan Xian, which was his moment of great brilliance.

And Tian Yu at that time, or Tian Yu at this time, was no longer an unknown person.

Even because of his outstanding performance in the first season, he will have more scenes in the second and third seasons, and even specially added the role of wife, implicitly heading for the "male third".

Blue Whale now intends to sign Tian Yu.

Although Wei Yang has proposed to raise the signing threshold and will not easily sign newcomers, Tian Yu's situation is quite special.

He is considered a golden supporting role, his acting range is not narrow, and his requirements for resources are not high, and there is no conflict with most Blue Whale artists.

Even though Blue Whale already has Zhang Songwen, the two have different styles, and what Blue Whale lacks the least is supporting roles, so they can arrange them anyway.

Wei Yang admires Tian Yu very much, and several senior executives of Blue Whale have a good impression of him.

After seeing his popularity increase after "Celebrating More Than Years" and the reputation of the audience, they all think that Tian Yu has a certain value of signing.

At present, the two parties have not officially signed, but they have already expressed their intention. When "Celebrating More Than Years 2" starts filming, it will be almost settled.

As for other supporting roles, Blue Whale is not unmoved. At the same time, several people also expressed their admiration for Boss Wei, but due to various considerations, Wei Yang did not give in.

However, there are two people that Wei Yang gladly accepted, one is Chen Baoguo and the other is Wang Jinsong.

Needless to say, the former, except for Wei Yang, Blue Whale artists now do not have too many big names to show off. Chen Baoguo's joining is a great improvement in the soft power of Blue Whale artist management.

Not to mention Wang Jinsong, a versatile old actor. Wei Yang has worked with him twice, and the more he works with him, the smoother he is. He intends to cooperate for a long time.

Wang Jinsong is actually easy to say. He has been flirting with him for a long time, but this person is sentimental. He still has a few years of contract with his old boss and plans to leave after the expiration of the contract.

The two parties agreed that when the other party's contract ends, the first one to come to Wei Yang will be fine, whether it is signing with Blue Whale or the new company to be established later.

Chen Baoguo is very difficult. He is very careful about his reputation at this price and will not easily cooperate with the new company, and it also involves his son.

Old Chen is determined to support his son, and Wei Yang wants a tiger father but not a dog son, so it may not be possible to reach a cooperation.

In addition, there is Zeng Li, who Wei Yang is still investigating. As mentioned earlier, Blue Whale has lost a female artist of the royal sister elite type.

Originally, Wei Yang was targeting Chen Su, but later she signed a contract with Shang Shi, and Wei Yang felt that Zeng Li was also suitable.

However, after all, it is just a supplement, and the training intensity is not particularly high. Later, a new company was prepared, so Wei Yang's attitude is to sign or not.

First contact and see, sign if you like it, don't sign if you think it's not okay, or wait for the new company to be established and let Yang Tianzhen poach people.

However, although the possibility of signing with Blue Whale is not high, the supporting roles that have become popular have benefited a lot, and many artists have become more enthusiastic about "Celebrating Yu Nian".

Not only did it greatly ensure the retention of the original cast, the new characters in the second and third seasons of "Celebrating Yu Nian" also attracted a lot of attention.

The first-tier actors may still be in the waiting period, but the second and third-tier ones have already made their moves. The phones of several responsible persons have been flooded with calls, and even Liu Shishi has been tried and asked by many people.

Wei Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Liu Shishi was quite satisfied. At least in the eyes of outsiders, she had a good status in Wei Yang's eyes.

Due to the promotion period, Tang Yan, who was still with the two, was jealous. Lovers have no human rights...
