Chapter 472 It’s Bad, Tonight Is a Life-or-Death Game

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

This is also the project that [Jiaxing Entertainment] made famous in the previous life.

As for why this drama was made, the reason has been mentioned before. Modern dramas are relatively low in cost and easy to produce. On the basis of the original work, the quality of the plot is guaranteed as much as possible, and Da Mimi's popularity advantage is brought into play.

The setting of "Dear Translator" is quite tricky.

It contains both urban idol love elements, such as Cinderella meeting the children of high-ranking officials.

It also has the characteristics of the growth of the heroine Mary Sue, the civilian girl upgrades and fights monsters in various ways, and has a double harvest of love and career.

At the same time, there is also the current popular career workplace, which has a certain degree of professionalism, allowing people to understand some things in the industry. At the same time, the workplace plot also makes the starring audience group white-collar workers feel more involved.

Do you think this model is familiar?

Yes, a large number of workplace love dramas in later generations, especially those from the perspective of the heroine, are basically this routine.

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

But leading or carrying forward, Dear Translator definitely played a key role.

So much so that Da Mimi in her previous life couldn't help but come back to eat the old capital.

What "Negotiator", "Eye of the Storm", "Thank You Doctor" and so on are similar models, except that the professions have changed from translators to negotiators, national security, and doctors.

Again, most of them are under the banner of female independence and filming Mary Sue stories.

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

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

It was not until a few years later that some audiences became immune to Mary Sue plots, or even resisted them. Some film and television companies saw the dawn and began to popularize real workplace dramas that poked the hearts of workers.

But even at that time, Mary Sue still occupied a large market. After all, most audiences watched dramas to relax and feel good.

The relaxed and powerful plot, with the good ending of the heroine, can bring a good mood to the audience. Sugar can satisfy your appetite even if it doesn't make you full.

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

Life is hard enough, and watching TV dramas is 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 the market prospects are definitely bright.

At the same time, it also directly revealed that current TV dramas have begun to shift to the female market in big 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, not to make some bad meals about gender opposition, and at the same time produce some popular film and television dramas that suit the tastes of men and women, and bring back male audiences as much as possible.

"Dear Translator" stars Da Mimi, and director Blue Whale sent out the ace director Liu Junjie.

This time and space Director Liu has achieved much better than in his previous life.

Most of the hit urban dramas of Blue Whale and related companies were shot by him, and he is known as the "first person in modern dramas".

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

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, all want him to be the director, and the competition is particularly fierce.

Wei Yang passed the message to Liu Junjie because he saw that Da Mimi Company urgently needed to make a first shot.

Liu Junjie came out and Da Mimi starred. This configuration and gimmick are very powerful. Wei Yang also transferred Wang Kai to be the male lead of "Dear Translator".

In fact, Wei Yang wanted to transfer Qiao Zhenyu at the beginning, but Lao Qiao had taken a play before, and his schedule was not very coordinated. In addition, 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. If he wanted to grab the male lead again, Fan Xiaopang would have to come from Beijing 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 good as Qiao Zhenyu's, but "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Pretender" will be released next year. By then, Wang Kai's career will be greatly improved, and his momentum will be strong and he will be very impressive.

As for Tang Yan, there will be a "Ode to Joy" broadcast next year, and then there will be a "Golden Jade Marriage" script 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 been paying attention to it in the circle and got the script early.

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

It is said that Boss Wei snatched Hu Ge's opportunity, but in fact Wei Yang treats this senior brother very well.

The "Orange Born in Huainan" back then may have been meant to take advantage of his popularity, and the drama "Star Han Canlan" is indeed Hu Ge's resource.

This time, "The Golden Marriage" is a relatively impressive project. Hu Ge is 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 this level of resources is still not his turn. If the conditions are not enough, it is difficult to get support.

That is, for people like Li Jiahang and Zhao Liying, Boss Wei will not care about the cost and obstacles, and believe that they will live up to his trust.

After all, the relationship between Yuan Hong and Wei Yang is one level lower, and the trust is not enough.

In the past, Wei Yang also stood up for Yuan Hong and Tang Ren. After a long time, he could vaguely feel that the latter was indeed not lucky enough and could not carry the responsibility.

You know, Boss Wei has worked with Yuan Hong before, but Li Jiahang was able to rise from a supporting role, and several roles even competed with the protagonist. The latter may have some effect, but it is far from being a big hit.

Sometimes even if you perform well, as long as you fail to meet expectations, you may miss the opportunity.

And if you miss too many opportunities, trust will be gone. There are still resources, but it is difficult to take on big tasks.

In contrast, Hu Ge supported Wei Yang's expectations. Maybe it was not so brilliant, but he also completed the set tasks.

With ability, popularity, and a good private relationship, Wei Yang will naturally think of him once there is a suitable project on the Blue Whale side.

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

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

Otherwise, even if Qiao Zhenyu and Li Jiahang are not available, the company still has some newcomers.

For example, Li Xian, who was newly signed not long ago, has a small popularity because of "My Deskmate". Yang Tianzhen, Fan Xiaopang and Da Mimi also have some decent newcomers.

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

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

"What do you mean."

Boss Wei was uncomfortable being looked at, and the two looked at each other, and Da Mimi spoke frankly.

"You and Lao Hu are so good. If Li Jiahang wasn't here and supported him so much, there would be rumors about you two."

Wei Yang: "..."

I'm already dating several people, why do people have to keep an eye on me and Li Jiahang...

Boss Wei was very hurt. Other idols kept their relationships secret, so the paparazzi outside were looking for which woman they were intimate with.

Wei Yang's situation was special. He had no shortage of rumors and was not shy about it, so there was nothing new about it. As a result, a bunch of bastards kept an eye on him and which man he was in a relationship with every day, and had to throw some dirty water on him.

Over time, plus Wei Yang really liked to play with Li Jiahang, either because he was jealous or because he watched the fun.

Even his women would joke about the two of them from time to time, and 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 to eat, drink and have fun everywhere, enjoying a luxurious and corrupt capital 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 has no problem with his brain, so of course he likes to play with Wei Yang.

Fortunately, no matter how good a brother is, he can't be a daughter-in-law, so the relationship between Li Sheng and Li Jiahang is still very stable.

When they were in Shenzhen before, Li Jiahang told Wei Yang that they planned to let their parents take time to meet during the Spring Festival.

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

Thinking of this, Wei Yang was still a little melancholy. It would be inconvenient for him to take the blame for his good brother's marriage in the future.

Li Jiahang: %&￥☆※

…

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

It was inconvenient for the three of them to go out for dinner. Tang Yan and Da Mimi were not very good at cooking, and takeout seemed too perfunctory, so they prepared to eat hot pot.

Nearing the evening, Da Mimi was mixing the seasoning on the table, and Tang Yan went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients. Her cooking skills were average, but she had no problem cutting vegetables.

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

Liu Shishi was in the "Legend of Dance and Music" crew in Dali, and Zhao Liying went to Hengdian to take charge of the company's two crews and prepare "The Palace of Ming" at the same time. They were not in Shanghai, which was why he spent the holiday in Ningjingdongfang.

It's just that the two of them were not there, but they definitely had to call during the holiday, and the time would not be too short.

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

Fortunately, it was estimated that the two of them also knew what was going on, and they didn't want to make things worse during the holiday.

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

"Okay, have fun with your assistants, take a 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 and spoke.

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

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

Wei Yang looked indifferent: "I never celebrate foreign festivals."

"Tsk."

Tang Yan, who was holding a plate of vegetables, exposed Wei Yang: "You don't celebrate, but they don't. I asked Shi Shi before, and it seems that the two of them only celebrated once before, and he was busy at other times."

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

Da Mimi is a good person: "I won't tell Shi Shi that I'm busy, and then go spend the holidays with the other one. Wait until the next year to spend the holidays with Shi Shi, and then tell the other one that there is no schedule. Tsk tsk, that's shameless."

Wei Yang: "..."

Although I know I am not a thing. Everyone is well-informed, but tacit understanding is fine. Why do you have to say it out loud? I don't want to lose face.

Wei Yang looked at Damimi and suddenly asked: "Do you know why I pursued Shi Shi but not you?"

"Because she's so easy to fool."

"...This is one reason, and the other reason is that she knows not to be smart and knows that sometimes she should shut up."

Damimi nodded suddenly: "So I guessed it right."

Wei Yang: "..."

Tang Yan watched from the side and suppressed a smile. She was more submissive to Wei Yang, unlike Damimi who was rebellious, so sometimes she liked to watch the two of them bicker and make each other angry.

Just when Wei Yang was thinking of ways to forcefully regain his respect, his cell phone suddenly rang again. After looking at the call, Wei Yang silently turned back to the study.

"snort."

Da Mimi snorted coldly when she saw this: "I wonder which naughty fox it is."

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

Damimi used to love to quarrel with Wei Yang, but she usually wouldn't let him get off the stage like this. She was obviously a bit temperamental today, probably because she was unhappy because Wei Yang was hiding and talking on the phone all the time.

"It's hard to spend a holiday together, look at how busy he is!"

With the relationship between Tang Yan and Da Mimi, there is no need to hide this trivial matter. The two of them don't see much of Wei Yang, and they don't have time for major festivals and birthdays. After finally spending New Year's Eve together, Wei Yang still It’s strange that Damimi doesn’t have any objections to all kinds of busy work.

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

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

Tang Yan naturally understood what Damimi was thinking, but she didn't say anything. She chose her own path.

Before she could recover, Damimi suddenly picked up her cell phone and started making a call, and then made a vicious expression.

"I fought with 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 Damimi, so he took the initiative to turn off his phone after coming out to show his attitude.

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

Wild soft-shell turtle stewed with native rooster, which also contains eels, pigeons, bullfrogs, kidney flowers, and seemingly indescribable cattle and sheep items. A handful of minced leek and wolfberry are sprinkled on top. With this configuration, even a hair falling into it can turn into wire.

Damn it, tonight is a life and death situation...
