Who are you calling powerful?

The crew of "Knowing or Not" is very large, and even in the impression of Boss Wei, there are more people than "Joy of Life" and "Nirvana in Fire", second only to "Chi Le Chuan".

Of course, this is just Wei Yang's illusion.

This is mainly related to the subject matter of "Knowing or Not", there are many group portraits, and they are mainly house dramas.

A large group of characters often appear to play against each other, and the characters also have to bring maids, nannies and other extras and other background boards. The scene is packed in an instant. If there are many "big dramas" shot on the same day, it even feels that the crew is crowded.

Boss Wei also vaguely experienced the feeling when Chen Jianbin filmed "The Legend of Zhen Huan" back then.

When there are too many women, the scene is really noisy!

Although the people in "Knowing or Not" are not like the concubines in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", most of them are of similar status, and their daily lives are relatively harmonious. There are still certain hierarchical circles according to their fame.

But there are too many people in each circle. The ladies may not chat with the maids, but the maids can chat with the maids.

Wei Yang has been filming for two days in the crew of "Knowing or Not". As long as there is a group scene, the director will stop and chatter.

In fact, the chats of these actresses are not noisy. After all, it is a large crew, and there are still rules. There is also the boss Wei, who is in charge, which is more inclined to be noisy.

But this is also very annoying. Chen Jianbin may be a duck quacking, while Boss Wei is a fly buzzing.

But Boss Wei is better than Chen Jianbin in one aspect, that is, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has only one emperor and a few eunuchs, which often forces Chen to go to the next group to find someone to play with.

Although there are not as many male actors in "Knowing or Not", it is still no problem to get together a group of people to chat.

So, almost within three days of Boss Wei joining the crew, the male circle of "Knowing or Not" with Boss Wei as the core was established. Boss Wei no longer has to worry about listening to the buzzing of these actresses, and can directly go to his "territory" to chat.

Wei Yang is not familiar with many of the male actors in "Knowing or Not". Except for Hong Lang, the role of Sheng Changbai has not changed, and the others have all changed.

The role of Qi Heng is played by Chen Xingxu, who played the male lead in "Eastern Palace" in the previous life.

It is said that the crew's initial candidate was still Zhu Yilong in the previous life, but Blue Whale's "Knowing or Not" started filming late.

In the previous life, Zhu Yilong played "Knowing or Not" in 2017. At that time, he was not very popular. Later, after filming "Knowing or Not", he became popular in 2018 with "Soul of the Town" before the show was released.

Zhu Yilong in this time and space became popular last year with "Soul of the Town" before "Knowing or Not".

Of course, no matter how popular Zhu Yilong is, the size of "Knowing or Not" and Boss Wei are enough to attract him. It is not shameful to play the second male lead for Wei Yang.

But he has many film contracts after he became popular, and the schedule has been promised. I think Knowing or Not has no time.

So the crew of "Knowing or Not" chose someone else. At this time, Chen Xingxu won the director's favor with his comprehensive advantages such as suitable for ancient costumes + good looks + some noble and elegant temperament + decent acting skills.

Wei Yang knew that he was the second male lead at that time, and he felt that fate was bizarre.

Perhaps God was unhappy that he had robbed the luck of "Eastern Palace" and let Wei Yang help him in "Knowing or Not".

The actor who played Sheng Changfeng was not very well-known, at least Wei Yang had no impression of him, but he was said to be a graduate of the Central Academy of Drama, and he has been performing dramas in Beijing for many years, and his acting skills are very good.

It can be seen that compared with the large group of young actresses with unlimited potential on the side of "Knowing or Not", the starlight on the male actor side is much dimmer.

But it is hard to say whether there will be a few talents among these people in the future. The entertainment industry has never lacked lucky people who became popular with a drama, and there are also some late bloomers.

Especially male actors, they are often more popular as they get older.

It is not impossible to transform into a powerful actor at a certain age, or to break into the uncle circle.

Wei Yang has been reborn for so many years. Although he prefers to rely on the golden finger to dig talents from the "known talent pool", many people are also affected by his butterfly tree effect.

For example, Zhang Binbin, the head of Mixing, Mao Zijun, the head of Bingyang, Zhang Ruoyun, the head of Shanhu, Li Jiahang, the second brother of Blue Whale, etc.

It is because Boss Wei changed his life trajectory that his career has become more brilliant.

In addition, there have been some stars in the circle that Wei Yang had never heard of in his previous life.

At first, he thought he was ignorant, but later he realized that it was the "new artist" who was influenced by him in this time and space.

It is understandable to think about it. Boss Wei has robbed many high-quality projects from other companies. It is impossible that other companies will stop working after Wei Yang has robbed the projects.

Some of these companies will shoot the subsequent works of the previous life, and some projects are films and television that Wei Yang has never heard of in his previous life. Naturally, there will also be artists who emerge and even become popular because of these "new dramas".

Facing these people, Boss Wei, who claims to be an encyclopedia of artists, also showed the confusion and puzzlement when Wu Jing met EXO.

Who are they? !

Previously, at the celebration party of "The Wandering Earth", he met a popular young actress, who was said to have become famous with a youth drama and was very popular.

But Wei Yang had only seen her hot searches and didn't remember her face. When they met, he couldn't even match her face and name. At that time, the two actresses came together. If Boss Wei hadn't habitually stabilized his hand, he would have almost recognized the wrong person.

This is the most annoying thing. It is obviously an open-book test, but you encounter unfamiliar questions, and the question types change too quickly.

Fortunately, Boss Wei now has a deep foundation. Even if he doesn't open the book to cheat, he can handle most of the questions with his own strength...

A group of old men gathered together, and their daily topics were inseparable from sports, current affairs, and history.

During the break of filming that day, I don’t know who changed the topic to the Ming Dynasty.

Wow, the discussion can’t be stopped now!

In recent years, there are more and more dramas about the Ming Dynasty in the entertainment industry, and the popularity of Ming fans has also spread to the artist group. You don’t know until you talk about it, but you will find that there are still many Ming fans.

Especially the guy who plays Sheng Changfeng, he talks about the Ming Dynasty.

I wish I could travel back to slaughter the civil service group and Jin Qiang, and then skin the wild boar and cut it into pieces.

The sense of substitution, Wei Yang once thought that his surname was Zhu, but it turned out that his surname was Chen. Considering that he is also from Hubei Province, he might be a relative of Chen Youliang.

However, apart from this person, Wei Yang can also see that most of these so-called Ming fans are because of a few high-profile historical figures of the Ming Dynasty such as Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Yu Qian, and because of the general aversion to the Qing Dynasty, they have a good impression of this dynasty.

Wei Yang is probably the same way!

He was really a fan of the Ming Dynasty in the early days. He started to like the Ming Dynasty with "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and then he was attracted by the emperors such as Hongwu and Yongle.

However, later, for various reasons, after having a relatively detailed understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty, although he still had a good impression, the filter was very weak.

In a word, there is no good thing in the feudal dynasty!

Including the current "Knowing" or the previous "Chi Lechuan", most of the beauty is based on the protagonist being a noble or an emperor.

If the protagonist is the maid who was beaten to death in "Knowing", or the soldier who followed Gao Huan to charge under the Yubi City, the audience may not "feel yearning".

Wei Yang likes "The Longest Day in Chang'an" very much because the perspective is placed on the little people.

It's a pity that this little guy is also a hero, and because of historical nihilism, the drama stops at the right point, and finally makes Emperor Li Longji "wake up", which is essentially "the emperor is good, but he was deceived by treacherous ministers", which is actually very helpless and aggrieved.

Wei Yang didn't want to shoot "Do You Know" because he felt that the male protagonist was "cowardly", cleaning up the royal family, and was almost thrown away, and finally had to clean up the ass.

In "Chi Le Chuan", no matter what, Gao Huan's "rebellion" was successful, and no one was suppressing him from above, which is the plot that Boss Wei personally likes.

Therefore, Wei Yang has always wanted to shoot a "rebellion" drama, letting the mud legs break the feudal shackles of the dynasty and roar the little people.

To put it more clearly, it is to replace the most common "heroic historical view" in film and television dramas with the [people's historical view].

Wei Yang had conceived a "Yellow Turban" before, which was a rebellion. Boss Wei never forgot this drama and revised the script several times.

However, Wei Yang found that the people's view of history is difficult to shoot. If it is overdone, it is more sensitive and increases the difficulty of approval.

The rules are like this. It's okay to praise feudal emperors, but if you advocate rebellion and uprising, you have to be careful.

In addition, there are many problems such as measure, rhythm, and center point. From the perspective of creation and shooting, the pure people's view of history is not suitable. Even "The Great Battle", which is known as the top war film, cannot do without teachers and generals as the protagonists.

Similarly, it is impossible to shoot the Yellow Turban Army without filming the three brothers of Zhang Jiao, as well as some leaders and heroes of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At present, Wei Yang still hasn't figured out how to solve it. At most, it is the people's view of history + the heroic view of history, and the latter has more scenes.

The other people in "Do You Know" are not as deep as Boss Wei thinks. In fact, most of them are just joining in the fun.

Whether it is the people's view of history or the heroic view of history, the important thing is that the story is good.

For example, the popular drama "The Glory of the Ming Dynasty" that everyone just talked about is a typical heroic historical view. The protagonists are Zhu Di and his father and his three brothers, and at most the two brothers of the King of Han and a few ministers.

It is indeed no problem with ordinary people, and there must be some glorification of feudal emperors and nobles, but we have to admit that this drama is really good.

Most people watch TV dramas for fun, and there is no need to make a big deal about it.

Even though Wei Yang himself understands it, he still shoots "Chi Le Chuan" and "Do You Know?"

It's just that Boss Wei has not completely "fallen" to the point of profiteering, and still has certain pursuits of his own.

He can sell boxed lunches and fast food to make money to support his family, but it doesn't prevent him from occasionally making exquisite dishes when conditions permit, so that the audience knows what a real good dish is, and let everyone know that he, Wei Yang, is not just good at making fast food.

But then again, "The Glory of the Ming Dynasty" is not a heroic historical view, but a Mary Sue historical view of the heroine.

In the initial script, "The Glory of the Ming Dynasty" was basically similar to "The Palace of Ming" or "The Story of Yanxi Palace", with the heroine acting like a show-off, and the generations of the Zhu family were just foils.

Assassinate the emperor, fall in love with the emperor's grandson, reach a reconciliation between the emperor and the former emperor, marry the emperor's grandson, fight the bad empress dowager and the bad queen, and finally get the exclusive favor, support the son to ascend the throne, the son gets into trouble and is supported, the empress dowager forcibly controls the situation, supports the dragon to defend the city, and finally falls in love and kills with the blackened son...

By the way, the heroine also has a Mary Sue standard, a lovelorn male second who accompanies her for a lifetime.

However, as the filming progressed, the heroine's halo and plot logic could not support the entire drama, and the Zhu family members were more brilliant than each other, and they stole the limelight.

In this life, Blue Whale participated in the production of "The Glory of the Ming Dynasty", Wei Yang served as the editor, and decisively kicked out the crew.

Without a demon-making heroine, the main plot of "The Glory of the Ming Dynasty" has become five dragons in the same court, falling in love and killing each other.

The female protagonists are Hu Shanxiang and Empress Dowager Zhang. Considering that more scenes can make money, the couple of the King of Han and his wife are added. Sun also appears, mainly fighting with the female protagonist in the palace.

The plot is still from the perspective of Emperor Xuande, and the film ends directly when he dies.

To be honest, not many viewers want to watch a high-pressure plot like the Battle of Tumu.

The original version of "The Glory of the Ming Dynasty" was purely to promote the female protagonist and create the so-called climax, but the audience did not buy it. The subsequent popularity plummeted, and the audience who did not run away were all for Zhang Yixing and Yu Qian, who played the gods of war in the Ming Dynasty.

However, because of this drama, Wei Yang or the Blue Whale screenwriter team was rarely sprayed by the original author.

In recent years, Blue Whale has adapted many novels and online articles into films and TV series, and it is impossible to satisfy everyone.

If there are too many adaptations, some fans and authors of the original work will be dissatisfied, and most of them will complain, because judging from the performance and reputation of the film and television adaptations, it cannot be said that Blue Whale made a mistake.

Wei Yang and Blue Whale are also the few representatives who are recognized as stronger than the original works.

But the original author of "The Glory of the Ming Dynasty" couldn't help but make a fuss, probably because the TV version has changed too much.

Even except for a few plots and character settings, it can almost be said that it has nothing to do with the original work at all...

The original work is called "Records of the Six Dynasties", and it is also called "The Biography of Sun Ruowei, the Imperial Concubine of the Ming Dynasty".

Zhu Qizhen's mother, Empress Dowager Sun, is the well-deserved first protagonist, but the presence of the female protagonist Sun in the TV version is not high, and her character is a bit like a green tea bitch.

The original author is naturally dissatisfied, this is a blatant abuse of her "daughter".

In the face of doubts, Blue Whale's handling is also relatively low-key. In any case, it is a bit unreasonable to modify the original work without authorization, and it is not in line with Blue Whale's concept of respecting the original author.

However, there is still a screenwriter who couldn't help but come out to confront the original author.

She didn't say too much, but just highlighted two points in particular. One is that Blue Whale has the right to adapt, and the other is that the script is adapted based on the original work and based on history.

The latter sentence contains a lot of information - you said we changed the original work, I said you changed history.

Apart from other things, the book almost ruined Empress Zhang of Emperor Hongxi, who was once comparable to Empress Ma and Empress Xu in the Ming Dynasty.

And Empress Hu was deposed because of Empress Sun's instigation. The history books all stood up for her. Emperor Xuande himself was a little regretful, and the role she played in the book was also unbearable.

On the contrary, the heroine Empress Dowager Sun was actually evaluated very mediocrely in history, and many people regarded her as a demon queen.

She had to take some blame for the Tumubao Incident and the Duomen Incident, but she turned into a great hero in the book.

With these plots, Blue Whale didn't change his career? The audience scolded him later, thinking that their screenwriters didn't understand history.

Originally, the spectators thought that Blue Whale was really bullying customers, but they understood what was going on after being scolded by the screenwriter.

It turns out that someone wiped your ass for you, but you still complained about stabbing your ass!

A large number of netizens started to confront the original author, and attracted many fans to help. The fighting power of these people is not ordinary. The original author quickly deleted the Weibo and closed the comment area.

It was Blue Whale who stood up and apologized to the original author in a hypocritical manner.

He did not say that the correction was wrong, but said that it was caused by poor communication and that he would learn from the lesson in the future, etc., which attracted many netizens to comfort and affirm.

It is worthy of being the company brought up by Boss Wei, tea and dirty...
