Who are you calling powerful?

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

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

As for why we filmed this drama, the reason has been mentioned before. Modern dramas cost less and are less difficult to produce. On the basis of the original work, we try to ensure some plot quality and take advantage of Damimi's popularity.

The setting of "Dear Translator" is rather clever.

It not only contains elements of urban idol love, such as Cinderella meeting the son of a high-ranking official.

It also has the characteristics of a great heroine growing up as a Mary Sue. A common girl can upgrade in various ways to fight monsters, and gain both love and career.

At the same time, there are also professional workplaces that are relatively popular in the market. They have a certain degree of professionalism and allow people to understand some things in the industry. At the same time, the workplace plot also makes the white-collar workers, the starring audience, feel a sense of belonging.

Does this pattern look familiar?

That's right, a large number of workplace romance dramas in later generations, especially those from the female protagonist's perspective, basically follow this routine.

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

But to lead or carry it forward, "Dear Translator" definitely played a key role.

So much so that in her previous life, Damimi couldn't help but come back to rest on her laurels.

"The Negotiator", "Eye of the Storm", "Thank You Doctor", etc. are all similar models, but the profession is changed from translator to negotiator, national security, and doctor.

Again, most of them film Mary Sue stories under the banner of female independence.

But then again, if you really shoot for the truth, the results will be unpredictable.

Most of the current audience is like Mary Sue. Given the market performance, capital is not a fool.

It was not until a few years later that some viewers became immune to or even resistant to Mary Sue plots. Some film and television companies saw the light and began to popularize real-life workplace dramas, poking at the hearts of workers.

But even then, Mary Sue still occupied a large market. After all, most viewers watched the show to relax and have fun.

The relaxed and powerful plot and the good ending of the heroine can bring a good mood to the audience, and the sugar will not only satisfy the hunger but also satisfy the craving.

But being too real makes it easy for the audience to break their guard.

Life is hard enough, but watching TV series is even harder. Isn’t this just adding salt to the wound?

Therefore, dramas such as "Dear Translator", "My First Half of Life" and "Strategy of the Ming Palace" may have their own shortcomings, but the market prospects are absolutely bright.

At the same time, it also directly revealed that the current TV series have begun to make great strides towards the female market.

The ownership of TV remote controls and website clicks is caused by social factors, and even Wei Yang cannot change it.

What he can do is to film the projects that Blue Whale participates in well, and avoid some gender-contradictory bad movies. At the same time, he can also produce some popular movies and TV series that suit the tastes of men and women, so as to attract male audiences back as much as possible.

"Dear Translator" stars Damimi, and director Blue Whale sent ace director Liu Junjie.

In this time and space, Director Liu's achievements were much better than those in his previous life.

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

At the same time, as the veteran of Blue Whale + Noble Wei Yang, he personally serves as the artistic director of Blue Whale. He has considerable say in the company and has a very high status in the entire industry.

It is not easy to invite him.

In addition to "Dear Translator", the crew of Fan Xiaopang's "The First Half of My Life" and a modern drama "Blue Whale", which are currently being filmed, all want to find him as director, and the competition is extremely fierce.

It was Wei Yang who sent the message to Liu Junjie because Damimi Company urgently needed the first shot.

Liu Jun is outstanding, and Damimi plays the leading role. This configuration and gimmick are very powerful. Wei Yang also appointed Wang Kai as the male lead of "Dear Translator".

In fact, at first, Wei Yang wanted to cast Qiao Zhenyu, but Lao Qiao had taken on a movie before, and the schedule was not very coordinated. Fan Xiaopang also wanted to cast him as the male lead He Han in "The First Half of My Life".

Director Wei Yang helped Damimi, and if he tried to steal the male lead, Fan Xiaopang would have to kill him from the capital.

This tiger girl is very confident and has a big temper. If she really gets angry, Boss Wei will be timid...

Wang Kai's status and reputation are definitely not as good as Qiao Zhenyu's, but "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Pretender" will be released one after another next year. By then, Wang Kai's career will have a big improvement, and he will be very popular and very capable.

As for Tang Yan, there will be a "Ode to Joy" to be broadcast next year, and then there will be a "Golden Marriage" script that Wei Yang has kept for her.

This can be regarded as Tang Yan's masterpiece in her previous life, so Wei Yang has been paying attention in the circle and won the script early.

Later, we will take a look at the schedule and conditions of the male artists of Blue Whale and Coral Entertainment, and then wait for the opportunity to choose the male lead. If it is not possible, let Hu Ge take the lead.

It is said that Boss Wei stole Hu Ge's opportunity. In fact, Wei Yang was really good at this senior brother.

That year's "Orange in Huainan" may have been meant to capitalize on its popularity. The drama "Brilliant Star" is indeed Hu Ge's resource.

This time "A Good Marriage" is also considered a relatively successful project. Hu Ge is chosen as an important candidate, which shows that Boss Wei favors him.

Of course, Hu Ge's own success is also an important reason.

Otherwise, Yuan Hong has a good relationship with him, but resources of this level are still not available to him. The conditions are not enough, and it is difficult to find support if he wants.

That is to say, it is close people like Li Jiahang and Zhao Liying that Boss Wei will trust them to live up to his trust regardless of the cost and resistance.

After all, Yuan Hong's relationship is not that good, and his trust level is not enough.

In the past, Wei Yang fought for Yuan Hong against the Tang people. As time went by, he could vaguely feel that the latter was indeed not lucky enough to be able to shoulder the responsibility.

You know, it's not like Boss Wei has never worked with Yuan Hong, but Li Jiahang can rise from a supporting role, and several characters can even compete with the protagonist for the limelight. The latter may have some effect, but it is far from the point of shining.

Sometimes even if you perform well, if you don't meet expectations, you may miss opportunities.

Too many opportunities are missed, trust is gone, resources are still there, but it is difficult to take on big responsibilities.

In contrast, Hu Ge lived up to Wei Yang's expectations. He may not be as brilliant, but he also completed the set task.

With ability, popularity, and a good personal relationship, once Blue Whale has a suitable project, Wei Yang will naturally think of him.

In addition, after all, Tang Yan is inferior to Da Mi Mi. Even if Wang Kai's follow-up development is not strong, she can still sell the drama at a high price by herself, and the results are guaranteed.

In contrast, Tang Yan is not that confident, and having a popular male protagonist would be more beneficial to the project.

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

For example, Li Xian was newly signed recently, and the latter became quite popular because of "My Deskmate". Yang Tianzhen, Fan Xiaopang and Da Mimi also have some decent newcomers.

Nowadays, the original lack 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 his own people.

Even now, when they heard that Wei Yang was interested in Hu Ge, Da Mi Mi and Tang Yan looked at Wei Yang strangely.

"What do you mean?"

Boss Wei was made uncomfortable by the sight, and when the two looked at each other, Damimi spoke frankly.

"You and Lao Hu are good enough. If Li Jiahang hadn't been here and supported him so much, there would have been rumors about your affair."

Wei Yang: "..."

I've been on so many boats, why are you staring at me and Li Jiahang outside...

Boss Wei was very hurt. Other idols were hiding their romances, so the outside paparazzi were trying to figure out which woman he was intimate with.

Wei Yang was in a special situation. There was no shortage of scandals at all, and he wasn't too shy about it, so there was nothing new about it. So a bunch of bastards kept an eye on which man he was dating every day, and they had to throw some dirty water on him.

It's been a long time, and Wei Yang really likes to play with Li Jiahang, either to get jealous or to watch the fun.

Even his women would make fun of 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 takes Li Jiahang everywhere to eat, drink and have fun, enjoying the luxurious and corrupt capital life.

Li Sheng has to be a good husband, work hard, contribute money and effort, and sometimes 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 the brothers are, they cannot be wives, so the relationship between Li Sheng and Li Jiahang is still very stable.

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

If nothing else happens, I will find an auspicious day to get married in 2015.

Thinking of this, Wei Yang still felt a little melancholy. It would be inconvenient for his good brothers to take the blame in the future after they got married.

Li Jiahang:%\u0026￥☆※

…

On New Year's Day in 2015, Wei Yang spent the New Year's Day in Ningjing Dongfang. He went to his parents' house at noon and then spent the holiday with Damimi and Tang Yan.

It was inconvenient for the three of us to go out to eat. Tang Yan and Damimi were not very good at cooking, and takeout seemed too perfunctory, so they decided to have hot pot.

As evening approached, Damimi was mixing the seasonings on the table, while Tang Yan went to the kitchen to process the ingredients. Her cooking skills were average, but she was fine with simple chopping of vegetables.

As for Wei Yang, who is the best at cooking, it's not that he doesn't want to cook, but he is busy making phone calls.

Liu Shishi was on the crew of "Legend of Dance" in Dali, and Zhao Liying went to Hengdian to work on two crews of the company while preparing for "Strategy of the Ming Palace". Neither of them were in the magic city, which is why he spent the holidays in Ningjing Dongfang.

It's just that the two of them are not here, but they will definitely have to call during the holidays, and the time will not be too short.

Boss Wei was prepared in advance and had his two mobile phones set up in advance, so even if two people called at the same time, he could handle it easily.

Fortunately, I guess the two of them knew what was going on, and they didn't want to cause any trouble for the occasion.

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 called it a day and took over perfectly.

"Okay, you can have fun with the assistants and pay attention to rest. Bye."

Wei Yang hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he came out of the study, Damimi sneered.

"Hey, the phone call is over. I'm quite curious. New Year's Eve is easy to talk about. What will you do on Valentine's Day?"

Damimi and Wei Yang haven't been together for long, and they haven't had much Valentine's Day experience, but they are quite curious about how Boss Wei will deal with this "nightmare".

Wei Yang looked indifferent: "I never do foreign things."

"cut."

Tang Yan, who was holding a plate of vegetables, exposed Wei Yang: "You are no better than them. I asked Shi Shi before. It seems that they only met once before. He is 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 thing, 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 turned back to the study in silence.

"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 Mi Mi, 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 Damimi's thoughts, 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-shelled turtle stewed with native rooster, which also contains eels, pigeons, bullfrogs, kidney flowers, and seemingly indescribable cattle and sheep objects. A handful of minced leeks and wolfberry are sprinkled on top. With this configuration, even if a hair falls into it, it will turn into wire.

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