Chapter 204 Su Shuang’s Machiavellian Boss Wei, who is a huge fan of male fans
The time came to the end of January 2011, only one or two days before the Spring Festival.
The New Year atmosphere in the streets and alleys is getting stronger and stronger. Students are enjoying the winter vacation happily, and the annual holidays for adults are also starting one after another. Everyone returns to their hometowns with large packages or buys New Year goods, and celebrates the reunion festival with their families.
"Don't leave this snack box outside. If it gets broken and it doesn't look good, check if you have any unused clothes at home and wrap them up when the time comes."
"I won't bring cigarettes, tea, etc. I will buy them in my hometown. They are cheaper than those in the capital. Besides, my dad doesn't pay attention to this."
"Go and urge your friend again. Are the train tickets worth it? If not, let's wait in line overnight to avoid being unable to get on the train."
"..."
Ai Yan checked her luggage and at the same time gave instructions to her boyfriend Luo Yijia.
The two of them were college sweethearts. It was rare for them to break up before graduation, but continued to work together in society.
Three years after graduation, our relationship is stable, our work is relatively on track, and we are almost the same age, so we are ready to take the next step.
Last Spring Festival, Ai Yan followed Luo Yijia to her hometown in Shanxi Province and met Luo's parents. This Spring Festival, it was Luo Yijia's turn to visit her father-in-law and mother-in-law in Jiangsu Province.
If there are no problems, the parents of both parties will meet to discuss and then choose a good and auspicious day to get married this year.
Ai Yan clapped her hands with satisfaction after her luggage was roughly packed up, and she just waited for the train ticket to be settled before she could go home.
Luo Yijia also made an OK sign after making the call: "The ticket has arrived. I'll get the bus tomorrow night. I'll get it now."
"I'm going too, just in time to treat someone to a meal, so I don't have to cook at home."
Luo Yijia nodded and proactively suggested: "After dinner, I will take you to watch a movie. The movie version of "Wulin Gaiden" has been released. If you don't watch it now, your hometown may not have a movie scheduled."
Ai Yan knows that her boyfriend is a veteran of "Wulin Gaiden", and she also likes watching this drama, but...
"If we watch a movie, we can't wait for the update of "East Palace" tonight."
"It doesn't matter. It will be available on Sohu at ten o'clock. There will be no delays online."
"Then let's go."
The two reached an agreement and first took the tickets, invited friends to dinner, and then went to the cinema to watch the movie "Wulin Gaiden".
What can I say about this movie? I can’t say it’s a bad movie, but it’s a little different from the “Wulin Story” that everyone remembers, especially Shopkeeper Tong’s makeup, which looks like a ghost.
But having said that, for most yuba, it is very satisfying to see the original cast reunite and tell a good story.
At least Luo Yijia and Ai Yan did not feel that the ticket price was not worth it, and they discussed the plot on the way back, which raised a key question.
House prices!
Cai Shen, the screenwriter of "Wulin Gaiden", complained about the real estate bubble in the movie, and predicted that sooner or later this situation would go wrong, causing housing prices to plummet.
This person has always been a die-hard supporter of the collapse of house prices sooner or later. Not only did he complain about the real estate bubble in the movie "Wulin Gaiden", but he also stuffed private goods in "The Dragon Gate Escort".
"Real estate developers can't bear it any longer. In a few years, the houses will be like they were given for free."
Strictly speaking, you can't say that someone's budget is wrong, but at least in the last ten to twenty years, it will be difficult for this to happen.
Luo Yijia and Ai Yan are about to get married, so they naturally have to consider a wedding house. With the couple's current salary savings, it is almost impossible to buy a house independently in the capital, and they will definitely have to rely on family support.
In this case, they must make more careful choices and hope to maximize their benefits.
Luo Yijia and Ning Caishen have somewhat similar views. House prices have risen too fast in the past two years and are likely to collapse. They should hold on and rent a house first, and then buy a house after the bubble.
Ai Yan wanted to own her own home directly, and also moved out of Wei Yang's theory that "within ten years, buying a house may be the best investment method for ordinary people".
"The God of Wealth has speculated in stocks before and has great insights into the economy."
"Wei Yang is young, has a net worth of hundreds of millions, and has unique vision. What he said is definitely right."
"..."
Both of them hold different opinions, but Ai Yan has the overall advantage. Firstly, Luo Yijia can't quarrel with her, and secondly, Wei Yang is indeed more successful than the God of Wealth.
Not only in terms of wealth, but also in terms of screenwriting career, Caishen's "Wulin Gaiden" is certainly a masterpiece, Wei Yang's "My Love from the Star", Zhenhua Trilogy, and the adaptation of "East Palace" are also blockbuster masterpieces.
Strictly speaking, Wei Yang is now more famous as a screenwriter than Caishen. After all, the latter is only good at comedy, and Wei Yang is relatively more comprehensive.
Ai Yan is confident because of Wei Yang, a capable idol. Luo Yijia is also a little hesitant. After all, his original intention is not to buy a house, but to maximize the benefits.
If Wei Yang, a rising business star, is really optimistic about the housing market in the next ten years, then he doesn't think he can't take a gamble.
Putting appreciation and other things aside, as long as there is no loss, it is very worthwhile for them who just need it...
After returning home and putting away her things, Ai Yan hurriedly turned on the computer and searched for tonight's "East Palace" updates. Luo Yijia complained that Ai Yan almost didn't even change her shoes just now, and she obediently moved a bench.
Sitting next to my girlfriend.
After watching it for so long, he is actually a fan of "East Palace", and even many of his friends and colleagues are also following the show.
Speaking of which, although women are the main audience for Wei Yang's last film "My Love from the Star" and this "East Palace", there are also many male fans.
The reason is very simple. These two TV series are not stupid or bloody, and there are no obvious points of low quality.
In fact, many boys also like to watch TV series. Even if the female market later takes over the mainstream, men are still a viewing group that cannot be ignored.
In later generations, such as "In the Name of the People", "Hurry", "Celebrating More Than Years", "Age of Awakening" and other popular works, one of the success factors is to attract a large number of male audiences.
Even later, due to the serious internal conflicts in the film and television industry, the female market was highly saturated, and the models and routines were basically developed.
Many platforms and film and television companies have also begun to regard the male market as a new blue ocean.
Many military themes, which many people think are the main theme, are actually a test of the male market. The same is true for the adaptation of male videos and historical themes.
Many people even complain about sister-brother romances, aunt-nephew romances, and grandma-grandmother romances. There are too many movies and TV dramas that please middle-aged and elderly women.
But in fact, TV series about uncles marrying young wives have also been filmed, with the purpose of pleasing male audiences.
Middle-aged powerful actors such as Chen Jianbin, Yu Hewei, and Zhang Jiayi have all acted in similar film and television dramas.
Since Wei Yang's debut, although he has been deeply involved in idol dramas and targeted female audiences, he has never given up on the male audience.
For example, although the Zhenhua Trilogy is from the perspective of the female protagonist, the overall story is about campus youth, and the narrative is biased towards group portraits, so male viewers can also see their own reflections in it.
The same is true for "My Love from the Star". Women fantasize about having such a powerful and infatuated alien husband, and the male audience can actually take on the role of the male protagonist.
He's handsome, has super powers, and has a celebrity wife!
Not to mention "East Palace", as mentioned before, the original work was written from the female protagonist's first perspective, while the TV series was adapted from the third perspective, and Wei Yang, the male protagonist who carried the ratings, had more scenes.
Female viewers can watch the sadomasochistic love story between the male and female protagonists falling in love and killing each other, while male viewers can watch not only the sadomasochistic love story, but also the plot to win over the heirs.
As a screenwriter, Wei Yang always remembers that "East Palace" is an idol drama with a low audience threshold, so the plot elements cannot be too obscure.
To put it bluntly, don't make "Toward a Republic" and "Ming Dynasty 1566", but make "Kangxi Dynasty" and "Nirvana in Fire".
Perhaps in the eyes of some historical figures and higher-level netizens, some of the plot's machinations are childish and have loopholes, but they are enough to satisfy the vast majority of ordinary viewers, and more importantly, they look refreshing.
The original version of "East Palace" has very few power plots, and the original version is actually not exciting. The current version of "East Palace" is a script that Wei Yang personally led and led, and firmly grasps the two points of "Su" and "Shuang".
Needless to say, there is no need to elaborate on the setting of the male protagonist, who has a white face and a dark belly, pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, is ruthless, and uses all kinds of methods to do anything.
In terms of plot arrangement, the male protagonist upgrades his way to fight monsters, first the second prince who competes for the crown prince, then the adoptive mother and queen who turned against him, then the powerful minister Gao Xiang and his gang members who are the biggest obstacle to the male protagonist's governance, and finally the father-son duel with the emperor.
One person is killed, and another one is killed. The plot is very fast and does not give the male protagonist and the audience a chance to breathe.
Each plot of upgrading and fighting monsters also has its own climax of conflict.
With the second prince, the weak versus the strong, and finally the confrontation in the court, the male protagonist reverses the situation and seizes the throne.
The conflict between the queen's kindness and mother's hatred was also a conflict between filial piety and righteousness and imperial power, which led to bloodshed in the palace.
He presided over reforms, affected the interests of high-level officials, and pressed forward step by step, eventually leading to a rebellion and coup by powerful officials, turning the tide and clearing obstacles.
The prince is strong, the emperor is unwilling, the two dragons fight, the father is kind and the son is filial. In the end, the winner becomes the emperor, but he also becomes a lonely man.
Towards the end of the plot, the higher the male protagonist's status is, the more things he gains, but also more and more things are lost.
Compared with the sadomasochistic love between the male and female protagonists in the original book "East Palace", the TV series "East Palace" shows the bloody and cold road to the emperor.
Although Li Chengyin, played by Wei Yang, is very unpleasant in some plots, more and more viewers understand and like this prince of the East Palace who is sinister and cruel but has a heart for the common people.
At the same time, Li Chengyin's ruthless character actually makes the heroine Qu Xiaofeng even more special.
Because in the male protagonist's heart, his biological father and adoptive mother are not good people, and the relatives, friends, and subordinates around him also have their own considerations, but the female protagonist is the only one he trusts and feels at ease with.
Besides Jiang Shan, she is the heroine, and even in the heart of the hero, both sides were once equally important.
In the words of the male protagonist - he wants to create a world where the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and he hopes to wait side by side with the female protagonist for that day to arrive.
This setting of "you are the only one" may seem a bit cliche, but it works every time, and both boys and girls use this routine.
Although he doesn't want to admit it, Luo Yijia has indeed accumulated a lot of affection for Wei Yang because of the drama "East Palace".
The role of Li Chengyin is so charming, and he plays it well. He is lonely, powerful, ruthless and tragic.
It is no exaggeration to say that one of his colleagues has a man who has become a die-hard fan of Wei Yang and even bought a derivative of "East Palace". If he hadn't known about this guy's situation, Luo Yijia would have doubted whether he had been ripped off.
Bent.
He can even understand his girlfriend's admiration for Wei Yang and feels less jealous, as long as he doesn't call her husband or wear a wedding dress to support her.
Even putting aside the fact that Weiyang is a Manchester United fan, as a fan who also likes football, Luo Yijia sometimes even has the urge to follow his girlfriend into the trap.
There are not a few boys who have similar ideas to Luo Yijia.
"East Palace" and Li Chengyin may not be Wei Yang's most popular works and characters with the most fans, but they are definitely the most attractive to male fans.
For a male artist who prefers the idol route, being able to attract a large number of male fans is definitely something to be proud of.
It means that Weiyang's commercial value and overall appeal have reached a new level...
