Who are you calling powerful?

February 18, New Year’s Eve

Wei Yang, who had been prepared for a long time, arranged his work during this period in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

On New Year's Eve, I happened to attend an event in Kunming City. After the afternoon, I drove directly back to the Magic City to celebrate the New Year.

Driving back to Yunhua Mansion, the family had already cooked New Year's Eve dinner. This year, Wei Yang's family and his aunt's family celebrated the New Year together, and with the nanny and bodyguard who were not going back, it was quite lively.

"Let's make something delicious."

Wei Yang took off his coat and ran to the kitchen first, and then saw his aunt, mother and nanny making dumplings together.

"Hey, what are these colorful stuffings?"

“Spicy cabbage vermicelli with tofu and ham.”

"...Who asked me to pack it?"

"Your sister, I said this is delicious. I have it at home anyway. Let's try it."

Wang Yunping has only one son in her life, and it is a pity not to have a daughter, so her cousin, the only girl in the family, is more favored by her, even if her nieces and nephews from her natal family may not be as good as her, and she will meet all small requirements.

Wei Yang couldn't bear to look at it, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't use any weird fruit filling.

Last time, Zhao Liying conducted an experiment and made some dumplings stuffed with cherries, blueberries, and potatoes. Wei Yang almost didn't call the police, and Xiao Zhao didn't eat it himself. He asked his assistant to feed it to nearby stray cats. I don't know if they scolded them. Scolding mother...

Wei Yang also wanted to check out the New Year's Eve dinner, so he was dragged by his cousin to play mahjong. His father and uncle were all seated, and there was just one missing person.

Wei Yang hadn't played mahjong for a long time. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he just played with him. While counting the cards, he listened to his cousin coaxing him to play the big one. His cousin was also talking next to him, and his eldest uncle also helped him a few words. Dad Wei Yang Shan's default attitude.

"How big can you play?"

When Wei Yang saw this, he knew that these people had colluded to kill the big family today.

Comrade Wei was lucky. Although most of the money at home was managed by Wang Yunping, the fruit shop and Boss Wei's filial piety and scattered tricks from time to time still left him some living money, otherwise he would not dare to play with antiques.

The eldest uncle and cousins ​​were in dire straits. The eldest aunt was in charge of the money in the family. She had a strong personality. In addition, the family's financial resources were far inferior to those of the Wei Yang family, so the financial management was strict.

My cousins ​​act coquettishly and cutely from time to time, and they can also make some money from my uncles, aunts and cousins. My eldest uncle has to look at my aunt's face when buying cigarettes.

So despite this setup, the cousins ​​are having fun, but the most positive one is definitely the eldest uncle.

Only my eldest uncle, who usually likes to play mahjong, knows how to get the three families to join forces and win more money from Wei Yang. As for Wei Shan, he is probably going along with the flow, and the other people's promises are not low.

As a biological son, I definitely need to pay more!

As for how much Wei Yang lost, Comrade Wei was very open-minded. Even if Wei Yang had hairs on his legs, it would be enough for them to live happily.

Wei Yang knew this very well, but he still played along calmly.

In mahjong, Hu is defeated, three families versus one, not to mention a cousin who is wandering around and cheating. Boss Wei loses miserably.

Wei Yang was very happy and transferred the money directly via WeChat. Seeing the excited people, Shi Shiran came to the kitchen.

"I originally wanted to work with you, but I was forced to play cards. I'm not lucky. My dad and uncle just won tens of thousands."

As soon as the words fell, the aunt and the mother frowned, and Boss Wei was still making up the knife.

"The two old men are very happy now. They were discussing just now that they would go back to the chess and card room to play while their luck was good. Maybe they could win a lot."

The aunt threw the rolling pin in her hand: "After two good days, you start burning buns, right? Play cards and gamble money."

Wei Yang returned the tea talk and advised: "Aunt, it's okay. It's Chinese New Year. My dad always says he is too strict with my uncle. How can you have no money? Just treat me as a filial piety to him."

"It's so outrageous. As for his colander, no matter how much money he is given, he will be ruined. There is also that Shanzi, who has no conscience at all and turns his elbows outward."

The eldest sister-in-law angrily went out to settle the score with her eldest uncle and Comrade Wei. Wang Yunping also spoke for her eldest sister-in-law, but did not go out to ask for money.

After all, Wei Yang's family is rich, and Wang Yunping is not that strong. He is too lazy to part with Comrade Wei for tens of thousands of dollars.

But this is not a problem for Wei Yang: "I heard that my dad bought a clear enamel fake a few days ago, and a lot of it was put into the small vault. This time it just restored its health."

"What, he bought it again, this prodigal, no money is enough for him to waste."

Wang Yunping couldn't sit still this time. She didn't care about tens of thousands of dollars, but that didn't mean she wanted to see her family's money go down the drain, so she took off her apron and went to help her sister-in-law.

Wei Yang washed his hands, hummed a pleasant tune, and sat down to make dumplings.

Trick me?

Winning or losing in mahjong doesn’t just happen at the card table!

After a while, the aunt and the mother came back victoriously. Not only did they get back the money Wei Yang won, but they also confiscated their respective "chips."

Wei Yang didn't ask for a cent, and even gave tens of thousands more. He smiled and said that he would use the money to honor his aunt and mother to buy cosmetics. The aunt was so coaxed that he scolded his cousins ​​for being heartless, and almost went out to scold her husband and children again. .

The New Year's Eve dinner in the evening was very harmonious.

The aunt and mother were very happy. The others turned their grief and anger into appetites and were very enthusiastic about the New Year's Eve dinner. Wei Yang secretly gave himself a thumbs up. This family cannot live without him.

Not many people paid attention to last year's Spring Festival Gala, but this year, family members took the initiative to watch it, including cousins.

Just when Wei Yang was confused, he saw that his family was very enthusiastic about Xiao Yueyue who appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage, and he realized what was going on.

Emotions became popular because of "Happy Comedian". This group of comedians got out of the circle, and many of them participated in this year's Spring Festival Gala, which brought a lot of popularity to the Spring Festival Gala.

Many people even regard the Spring Festival Gala as the "Happy Comedian" Spring Festival special.

But having said that, despite high expectations, the performance of many comedians in the Spring Festival Gala was obviously unsatisfactory, at least far behind the works of "Happy Comedians".

In fact, not all works of "Happy Comedian" are necessarily excellent.

But after all, it is a competition in nature, and the competitors are too strong, and the competition system is relatively cruel. It is very likely that if a program is not strong, there is a risk of elimination.

This also forces each team not to dare to relax. Each work is not said to go all out, but it is above the standard.

Among them, there are many highlights, which can even become classic masterpieces in the sketch career.

The works produced under such high-standard and high-intensity competition pressure cannot compete with the collection of Spring Festival Gala sketches over the years, but they are by no means comparable to the ordinary Spring Festival Gala.

It can be said that "Happy Comedian" brought a lot of popularity to the Spring Festival Gala, and at the same time made it a mess.

"I've offended someone."

Wei Yang sighed, but there was no hint of fear on his face, and there was even a hint of excitement on his face.

Sometimes the signboard is not made by oneself, but by comparison.

Taking a step back from the Spring Festival Gala, which was the highest stage for sketches in the past, "Happy Comedian" has a lot of gold content.

If it weren't for CCTV's face, Wei Yang would have arranged various media channels to publicize it, but even if he couldn't stir up trouble, he could still add fuel to the flames behind his back.

It can be expected that after the Spring Festival Gala, the data and influence of "Happy Comedian" will increase to a certain extent, adding another wave of traffic to PPTV.

After watching most of the Spring Festival Gala, my bored cousins ​​went to play games. A few old people discussed it and decided to watch "Happy Comedian" again.

Wei Yang was also very busy. Not only did he have to deal with several women, but he also received constant calls and messages from other New Year greetings. Wei Yang's fingers were sore when he answered the text messages.

…

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year

While every household is still enjoying the Spring Festival, the most watched Spring Festival in the film industry has also begun.

Wei Yang had a bowl of dumplings in the morning and hurried out to continue his road show. The rest of the family were bored at home, so they simply went to the cinema to support his son/eldest nephew/cousin.

After the influence of the Spring Festival stalls in the past two years, many people are willing to enter the cinema during the Spring Festival.

Even the first day of the Lunar New Year is no exception, especially young people. They would rather go to the cinema to watch a movie than have to deal with various relatives at home being pressed for marriage and asking for salary.

There are also many families who come to watch movies together, especially young families with children.

On the first day of the new year, I had nothing to do at home. My children couldn't sit still. Parents who had been tired for a year were itching to go out, but they couldn't find any good places to go out to play. The cold wind blew outside and most people spent money indoors. Moreover, there were many projects for parents and The kids can’t agree, either.

Watching movies is different. It's cost-effective, and the movies are well-selected. It's relatively easy to reach an agreement, and both parents and children can watch it.

Therefore, watching movies as a family during the Chinese New Year has gradually become a habit.

Even if some parents want to watch a movie that their children cannot or are not interested in, they can also divide it into batches. Dad will take the children to watch "Pleasant Goat", mom will watch Handsome Guys, then mom will take the kids to watch "Bear Bears", and dad will go by himself. Look at the beauty.

It only costs a few movie tickets, and most families can afford it during the Chinese New Year.

What's more, there are many movies suitable for the whole family during the Spring Festival. Watching them together saves money and trouble.

There is no doubt that "Detective Chinatown", which has "comedy" as its biggest selling point, has become the first choice for countless family members during this year's Spring Festival.

The few who hesitated were also worried that there might be detective murder and other plots in it, and were afraid of scaring their children, so they planned to wait for word-of-mouth reviews or watch it alone.

Another popular one is "Macau 2".

This is also a comedy-oriented movie suitable for watching during the Chinese New Year. It has a large cast of big names, and the previous film has a good reputation. This one also features Wang Shiling, who became popular after "Where Are We Going, Dad?", and is full of gimmicks.

It can be said that "Detective Chinatown" and "Macau 2" are the ones that the audience is most interested in and the industry is most optimistic about.

Among them, "Macau Storm 2" has the foundation of the previous game and has a luxurious lineup, so it has a slight advantage.

Then came Brother Cheng Long's "Heavenly Generals".

Although the reputation of the previous "New Police Story 2013" was somewhat overturned, it still made more than 500 million. Cheng Long is not lonely at this time and is still one of the most popular actors in Chinese movies.

Especially in this era when 1 billion+ movies are not yet common, Cheng Long's box office performance on paper is relatively outstanding. Who dares to underestimate this superstar who has dominated the film industry for many years.

"Wolf Totem" and "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demon" are not good either.

The former "Wolf Totem" has the advantage of being an original work, and the publicity is also very good, with various gimmicks and hype, and it is produced by China Film, which has certain help in film arrangement.

This movie is said to be a fun choice for the whole family. After all, the original work is quite famous. Some parents will find it educational and take their children to watch it.

There are even rumors that some teachers wrote their thoughts about this movie in their winter vacation homework, forcing students to go to the cinema to watch it.

However, this statement is a bit exaggerated. No matter how good China Film Group is, it will not affect those teachers. Either it is pure black with a rhythm, or some teachers spontaneously think that "Wolf Totem" will be good.

At the same time, although the leading actor Feng Shaofeng is two levels less popular than Boss Wei, he is still one of the most popular niche actors.

The performance of movies in the past few years has been pretty good, so it has accumulated a number of fans, which are incomparable to other big names. It is still possible to help wave the flag and shout a few words.

As for the latter, "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demon", frankly speaking, it has no subject matter advantage.

Despite the popularity of the Journey to the West theme last year, the gap in nationality and popularity between Zhong Kui and Monkey King cannot be compared at all.

The audience will be interested in Monkey King, but they may not necessarily support Zhong Kui, let alone in such a schedule that is destined to be fierce.

Moreover, if you are filming Zhong Kui, you are either filming a ghost-killing or marrying a girl, two of the most famous folk stories, and a snow monster appears out of nowhere. It is no wonder that the audience is not interested.

Therefore, the best selling point of this movie is the two leading actors, Chen Kun and Li Bingbing.

After "Painted Skin 2", Chen Kun can be said to be one of the few young actors in the mainland who can compete with male stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

And it has two major advantages. One is good box office performance, and the other is that it can afford large-scale productions. The latter is more critical.

Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Bao Qiang's box office performance is not bad, but they are better at comedy, but their hardware conditions are poor, and their competitiveness as male protagonists in mainstream large-scale productions is weak.

So in this case, the first choice for the male lead in a major mainland production is Chen Kun.

This is not nonsense, Huayi's "Looking for the Dragon" found him, if there are still suspicions of his own family.

This time "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demon" is a drama of light, which shows Chen Kun's status in the industry at this time.

However, in fact, to a certain extent, Wei Yang has a higher priority than him, but the key is that he cannot be invited, even if he spends money to invite him.

If Bona had not had the help of the public security department and ceded part of his share, there is a high probability that Wei Yang would not have participated in "Operation Mekong".

As for the heroine Li Bingbing, although she has not performed well at the domestic box office in the past two years, she can't stand the Hollywood halo.

At this stage, domestic audiences and the industry have very heavy filters on Hollywood.

So even though Fan Xiaopang has become infinitely stronger than in his previous life with Wei Yang's blessing, he still hasn't thrown Li Bingbing away. They won't let you compare with domestic results at all, and they will continue to use the name of "Double Soldiers" under the aura of Hollywood. head.

Because of this, Fan Xiaopang often complained and slandered Li Bingbing at home. If Wei Yang hadn't persuaded him and opened a company, he might have gone to Hollywood.

But no matter what, at this time, Li Bingbing is one of the few Chinese artists who can still develop in Hollywood. With a strong aura, coupled with Chen Kun, who is currently popular, "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demons" may become a dark horse in the eyes of many people even if it has inherent shortcomings. hope.

CCTV6's "China Film Report" made a special issue of anticipatory observations before the start of the Spring Festival, and invited several well-known experts and film critics in the industry.

Regarding this year's Spring Festival, several people believe that it is destined to be a fierce and evenly matched battle.

But when the Spring Festival really started, they found that their predictions had been revealed. There was a fight between the dragon and the tiger, but there was a big pervert who killed the dragon and the tiger...

Sorry, I posted the chapter for review but didn’t check it. I woke up at 11am and found out that there will be updates in the evening.
