Who are you calling powerful?

"Nirvana in Fire" is called by many people a rare political drama in ten years, but in Wei Yang's view, this is definitely too high a level to watch this drama.

In essence, "Nirvana in Fire" is a thoroughly cool costume drama.

There are many flaws in the whole drama, and the childishness of the power-strategy struggle has been stripped away by others in the later stages.

For example, the 70,000 elites mentioned before were tricked and killed by their own emperor. This kind of plot is simply outrageous.

Seventy thousand elites, what is this concept?

The actual number of Liu Bei's troops in the battle of Yiling was almost these people. They could almost be said to be the main force of a separatist regime. However, they were defeated in the first battle, which directly led to the collapse of the Shu Kingdom's fortunes.

If Zhuge Liang hadn't worked so hard and thought about leaving Qishan six times, it's hard to say whether there would have been a tripartite tripartite of the Three Kingdoms.

Back then, Wanyan Gou was such a fool, he only killed Yue Fei and his close relatives. The others adopted an attitude of demotion, transfer, and suppression, but did not attack the entire Yue Family Army.

So when Wei Yang was working on the script of "Nirvana in Fire", the first thing he did was to turn seventy thousand into seven thousand.

In fact, this number is quite high. Theoretically speaking, it all belongs to a certain general or family. Except for the high-level and high-ranking members of the army, the real direct descendants may only be a few hundred people. The rest may have grievances at most, but they may not rebel.

But Wei Yang also has to consider the plot. To put it bluntly, this drama is about revenge, so he needs to make the hatred bigger.

A few hundred people sounds ordinary, but a few thousand people add up to an army. The feeling given to the audience is completely different. It has also changed from a simple power struggle and family feud to an emperor harming the interests of the country, and the conflicts are more serious. sharp.

I'm not a Wei Yang Map Cannon, but it is true that many authors are too naive in describing power struggles.

In particular, some female authors almost lack basic common sense and rely entirely on imagination. This is the case in "Nirvana in Fire". It seems that the male protagonist Mei Changsu's road to revenge is very difficult, but in fact it is completely cheating and crushing.

Take a look at his teammates. The military boss in the south is his fiancée, the prince with military power is his brother, his best friend is the head of the Guards, and there are many senior officials who have deep connections with him. .

What's even more damning is that his organizational intelligence, wealth, and individual soldier qualities are unparalleled in the world. He is also known as the number one counselor and has superior resourcefulness.

Anyone else would have directly rebelled and become emperor. He actually went to great lengths to push his good brother to the throne, and then asked the old emperor to apologize.

Therefore, if you study carefully, you will find that many logics in the TV series simply do not match up.

This is what Noon Sunshine Demon has modified. If you read the original work, your blood pressure will rise. It is more like a "romance story" that favors beauty than a plot.

So Wei Yang had been hesitating whether to take on this drama.

Even if "East Palace" and "Qing Yu Nian" have a lot of flaws if you look closely, the general logic and common sense of the plot line are passable, and there are highlights from time to time.

But in the end, he chose to participate in the film because although "Nirvana in Fire" has many flaws, it also has many advantages.

"Ancient cool drama" seems a bit derogatory, but it is precisely the biggest factor in the success of a drama.

The reason why the "Celebrating More Than Years" trilogy is so popular is because it is so exciting. The male protagonist Fan Xian overcomes every difficulty, defeats the villains, gets promoted, surrounded by beauties, and the plots are interlocking, with small climaxes and big climaxes.

The same is true for "Nirvana in Fire". You can say that his portrayal of Machiavellian tactics seems to be a joke, but he is just cool.

The ministers, princes, princes and even the emperor were fooled around by a sick man who couldn't leave his house.

From the beginning of his revenge, his enemies and minions were defeated one by one, turning his biggest enemy, the emperor, into a true loner, and finally he knelt down and cried bitterly.

This is an alternative version of upgrading to fight monsters!

As long as the rhythm is well controlled, a little bit of appropriate climax, and accumulated emotions, it is enough to make the audience scream with joy.

In addition, the character design is also good enough. Mei Changsu's aloof and cool-spirited strategist spirit, but the world is under his control, makes people think he is awesome.

Without discussing the real history, why is Zhuge Liang liked by so many people in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?

Needless to say, he is dedicated and loyal, and there is also his amazing resourcefulness, and the tragic plot of how long it takes for the sky to be inferior to mine.

Mei Changsu is to a certain extent an alternative version of Zhuge Liang.

Smart, wise and kind-hearted, he also has the double tragic bug of having a blood feud and dying soon.

Although he is not loyal to the emperor, he has a word of love. Many people like "Langya Bang" because they value the bond and friendship between Mei Changsu and the supporting characters.

It is no exaggeration to say that Mei Changsu is absolutely a perfect character. As long as he is involved in the plot of "Nirvana in Fire", it is difficult not to be fond of him, or even fall in love with him.

In Wei Yang's view, the story rhythm structure of "Nirvana in Fire" even exceeds that of "Celebrating More Than Years".

The latter has many plots that are comedy-oriented and is good at character creation, while the former is better at plot layout, rhythm changes, and character emotional processing.

Both also have the same advantage, a certain degree of idealism versus realism.

There is a hidden thread in "Celebrating More Than Years", which is that Fan Xian, as a "posterity person", advocates that everyone is like a dragon, and there is no distinction between high and low.

This statement was not recognized by feudal conservative forces such as Emperor Qing and the Queen Mother, and many conflicts between the two sides also originated from this point.

In the end, it was not stated explicitly whether Fan Xian won or not, but some details hinted that after the third prince, who was deeply influenced by Fan Xian, ascended the throne, the Qing Kingdom was undergoing reforms, and many of his disciples were promoted to high-level positions to inherit his aspirations.

"Nirvana in Fire" is a bit simpler in this regard.

It was purely based on the upright and honest mainstream morality of Mei Changsu and others that they built a utopia and crushed the dark and ugly villains like the emperor.

There is no doubt that this is a plot that is very consistent with public perception.

Don't underestimate this. TV dramas with "incorrect views" will not be widely praised and supported by the main theme.

As for the disadvantages of "Nirvana in Fire", in Wei Yang's opinion, they are not so fatal.

"Nirvana in Fire" is a scumbag compared to "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "Ming Dynasty 1566", but compared with ordinary costume dramas, it is still very good and even of high quality.

This is not considered bad, because the environment is like this, and the vast majority of the audience does not have such a high level of appreciation and historical understanding.

Your Machiavellian writing is so unpleasant that people still don’t understand it or find it unpleasant.

Therefore, after ensuring a certain quality and basic logic, it is normal for the production style to be more commercial.

You may not have noticed that "Game of Thrones", which is popular all over the world, is not as good as "Nirvana in Fire" in terms of power, and it is still praised to the sky.

What Wei Yang can do is to reduce and eliminate its shortcomings and weaknesses as much as possible while ensuring the advantages of "Nirvana in Fire".

This is what he has done countless times before, using his strengths and avoiding weaknesses, checking for deficiencies, and improving the quality and reputation of "Nirvana in Fire" as much as possible.

…

At the gym, Wei Yang jogged a few kilometers on the treadmill, then did a few anaerobic sets, and walked to the weight scale next to him while sweating profusely.

131 pounds!

"It's still a little high."

Wei Yang was a little disappointed. Mei Changsu was a sick man, so he should give people a feeling of being thin and weak.

Before joining the crew, Wei Yang consciously began to control his diet, but he was too busy with work and did not have much time to exercise.

After joining the crew, I started to exercise more, but the effect was never particularly outstanding.

This is also normal. Wei Yang has maintained his body shape all year round and is a little thin. He also pays attention to his diet and exercise. He cannot lose weight reasonably in a short time.

"Looks like we have to play hard."

Wei Yang is experienced in short-term rapid weight loss. Artists have the need to be on camera. Many times, they will make adjustments as needed for the beauty of the camera and the needs of the character.

As far as Wei Yang knows, in order to maintain their condition and image, many actors will even fast for a long time before filming, relying on only water or some vegetable juice for a day.

The effect of this method is obvious, but the side effects are also great. Such an extremely unhealthy diet is naturally harmful to the body.

Boss Wei has always cherished his life, and he is more fond of food, so he rarely uses this trick.

But the situation forced him to have no choice but to use it while dealing with it, then slowly adjust it, and at the same time find professionals to help, so as to minimize the damage as much as possible.

So, when Damimi came to visit the class, she saw Boss Wei eating vegetables with an expressionless face in front of several pieces of boiled beef the size of fingernails.

"Tsk, tsk, Big Boss Wei is also like this."

Damimi was naturally familiar with Wei Yang's operations and giggled happily.

"Don't be ridiculous. If you have anything to say, you will fart. Why are you here with me when you have nothing to do?"

Wei Yang has been severely fasting for the past few days. He cannot eat enough and cannot eat well. He is weak and has a bad temper. He is too lazy to talk nonsense with Damimi.

Naturally, he didn't believe that Damimi came to visit the class when she had nothing to do. Most likely, she wanted to ask for something.

"What are you talking about? I miss you so much."

Damimi was dissatisfied with Wei Yang's attitude, and Boss Wei sneered: "If you really missed me, you wouldn't come to the crew, but give me the room number that's available in the city."

Damimi: "..."

This is her style. Even though she and Wei Yang are having fun in private, they still pay attention to this on the surface.

It's not that she doesn't want to have sex with Wei Yang, but there is Liu Shishi between them, so Wei Yang is worried, and Damimi is ready to make a move, but at the same time she can't be cruel.

To put it bluntly, it’s time to stand up!

She took advantage of her best friend, but she didn't want to be so infamous and have a falling out with Liu Shishi. Damimi was like this, and Tang Yan was in the same state.

So despite their usual clamor and ferocity, eager to make an official announcement immediately, they are often more cautious than Wei Yang.

This kind of arrogant visit to the crew increases the risk and is completely unnecessary. Hengdian is not a magic city, and Boss Wei's hand is not stretched so long.

So there must be something serious going on, and it’s not easy to talk about it in bed, so I came to visit the class first to lay the groundwork.

"It's not easy to fool at all, you dog man."

Da Mimi muttered, but when Wei Yang heard it, his eyes widened: "What did you say?"

"I said you are so smart, you deserve to be my man."

Damimi glanced at Wei Fei and his assistant. The two of them went out with a wink, not too far away. They were guarding the door to prevent anyone from intruding.

The two of them were alone, Da Mimi didn't hold her hand, and there was air conditioning in the room. She took off her coat, revealing her undulating curves, and sat down next to Wei Yang, holding Wei Yang's arm and rubbing it, coquettishly.

"Good brother, good husband, I really miss you. If you hadn't been too busy the past few days, I would have come to see you..."

She didn't say this to coax Wei Yang, she did have this idea.

In the battle to acquire PPTV, Wei Yang showed courage and decisiveness, which was praised by the outside world. He charmed countless girls, and was naturally very lethal to his own women.

Especially for someone like Damimi, who was very enterprising, seeing Wei Yang killing everyone, her heart was surging even more, and her voice sounded raspy when she called Wei Yang.

"speak nicely."

"I don't."

When Damimi saw Wei Yang like this, she knew that he was not angry and continued to pester Wei Yang Nuai.

Not to mention, although her approach was a bit artificial, Wei Yang found it useful and even though he said he disliked it, she still got her way.

After getting rid of his anger, Boss Wei, who had been criticized for being soft-spoken, was able to speak properly and get his purpose out of Damimi's mouth.

In fact, the purpose is very simple. I want to use Wei Yang's influence to support my studio.

Although Damimi's studio is affiliated to Coral Entertainment, it has actually been run independently, and the two parties have more of a cooperative relationship.

As I said before, Damimi wants to do something big and is not willing to just be an artist.

Therefore, in the past year, Damimi Studio has been recruiting people and signing several new people. While developing artist management, it has also set its sights on film and television production.

It's okay for artist managers, and the grass-roots team dares to call themselves agents. Film and television production is not something ordinary companies can touch.

Although Damimi has access to many blue whale resources, she is basically the main one.

In addition to her relationship with Wei Yang, more importantly, she is popular. The Blue Whale project needs her popularity, so naturally it will not hesitate to support it, which can also give back to the Blue Whale itself.

But she is her, and the artists in her studio are two different things. Coral Entertainment and Blue Whale have no reason to help her cultivate new talents.

But Blue Whale has no reason to help him. Wei Yang can, and Damimi is very confident in this regard.

"You are my man. If I don't look for you, who can I look for?"

She even became jealous of Fan Xiaopang. Who didn't know that Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang opened two companies and invested a lot of money in making a big production.

They are all women from Wei Yang, why should they favor one over the other.

Liu Shishi let it go. Damimi was still somewhat justified, but Fan Xiaopang was not convinced.

"The company is not open for free. I own half of the shares, and all the projects and strategies are subject to my instructions. This is a serious partnership business."

Wei Yang said it very straightforwardly. A small gang of big honeys is nothing, but if the intensity and time are large, he himself will be fine, but his subordinates and others will definitely have objections.

As a mature businessman and manager, Wei Yang cannot act willfully.

"If you are short of cash, I can give you 20 to 30 million, no problem. If it is not enough, I can make up for you. But if there are resources, there is a steady stream of resources. I have to take the overall situation into consideration."

"She can do business with you, and so can I."

Damimi obviously came well prepared and asked Wei Yang what the use of a few resources was. It was the last word to get Boss Wei on board.

After acquiring PPTV, Wei Yang not only has massive funds and film and television resources, but also has an independent platform, becoming a true giant.

If Damimi or her partners had some other ideas before.

After Wei Yang acquired PPTV, everyone had only one idea -

Hug your thighs!
