After all, Murong Fu in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" is really not liked by the audience.

While netizens were discussing the matter, the leader of Mango TV once again called Wei Jun to report the good news.

"Director Wei, great news! The ratings are up again."

Wei Jun reminded: "Director Ouyang, be prepared, the stock may fall today."

Master Jin’s popularity has been given away.

Next up is the real Empress's arrival.

"Impossible. If it's going to fall, it'll be the day after tomorrow. The audience we attracted yesterday will still be watching."

Director Ouyang said confidently, "Besides, today's world audience is also very familiar with it, so the response shouldn't be too bad."

"As long as you have confidence, President Ouyang."

Wei Jun said calmly, "The Empress's Journey Through Time has broken records on Station A. If the ratings on Mango TV fall short of expectations, I'd actually welcome a refund."

"Returning the product is impossible, not in this lifetime."

Director Ouyang laughed heartily: "I'd be stupid to return Director Wei's TV series."

"Okay, but I still suggest that Mayor Ouyang lower his expectations."

On Station A, the popularity of "The Empress's Journey Through Time" has indeed been breaking records.

In view of this, Wei Jun indeed felt more and more that "The Empress's Journey Through Time" might not be suitable for broadcast on TV.

Because of this fast-paced world-jumping mode, viewers who like to watch TV series on TV may not like it.

On the contrary, among young netizens, the market for playing memes and doing weird things is quite large.

In particular, it is easy to make the barrage explode and increase the audience's sense of participation.

This is a pleasure that watching TV cannot bring.

However, the facts were somewhat beyond Wei Jun's expectations.

At least today, the ratings of "The Empress's Journey Through Time" have not dropped.

As the director of Mango TV said, the world chosen by Wei Jun in Season 1 was still very clever.

After the Condor Heroes world and the Dragon King world, the empress continued to go to the third world.

In this world, the plot of the magically modified version of "Eternal Love" is the sweet version of "Eternal Love".

However, King Wei did not follow the original plot background setting, but set the plot background time in the Shang Dynasty.

To be precise, it was the period of Conferred Gods.

The empress is played by Bai Qian, the Queen of Qingqiu.

As members of the same Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox clan, the Nine-tailed Fox Daji is a subordinate of the Qingqiu Empress Bai Qian.

King Zhou wrote a poem in Nv Ma Gong, blaspheming the goddess Nuwa. The goddess Nuwa was furious and quickly summoned a nine-tailed fox to enter the Shang Dynasty to destroy King Cheng Tang's fortune and make King Yue pay the price for his actions.

Daji has already established her own clan in Xuanyuan Tomb, but she was born in Qingqiu after all. Before joining the Shang Dynasty, Daji specially returned to her hometown in Qingqiu to report the matter to Bai Qian, and stated that no matter what she did, it had nothing to do with Qingqiu.

When the empress heard Daji say this, she immediately became angry.

If I really cut off your relationship with Qingqiu, how can I continue to act so boldly?

Absolutely not allowed.

So the Empress interrupted Daji directly and said to her earnestly, "Daji, I'm not saying you're a nine-tailed fox. How can a nine-tailed fox bring disaster to the country and the people? We are the representatives of auspiciousness."

Daji was dumbfounded when she heard this.

Many viewers in front of the TV were dumbfounded.

Meng Ziyi, who was sitting on Wei Jun's lap, was also dumbfounded.

"What? The nine-tailed fox is a symbol of auspiciousness?" Meng Ziyi looked at Wei Jun blankly.

Wei Jun chuckled and said, "Yes, the nine-tailed fox is indeed a symbol of good fortune. Who told you that fox spirits have always had a negative image? In the early days, the nine-tailed fox was always an auspicious animal. It was only after Daji that the word fox spirit became a derogatory term."

Meng Ziyi: "But, but in the original novel of Investiture of the Gods, didn't Daji dare to let anyone know that she was a nine-tailed fox?"

Wei Jun directly complained: "That's because Xu Zhonglin, the author of Investiture of the Gods, has no common sense.

"The nine-tailed fox is a mythical animal in our country's ancient mythology and legends, and is often used to symbolize auspiciousness.

It comes from the Classic of Mountains and Seas compiled during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Its characteristic image is "nine tails". According to legend, it is a good omen when the world is at peace.

"The Auspicious Omens Chart says, 'If the king is not inclined to lust, a nine-tailed fox will appear.' The Book of Song: Records of Auspicious Omens says, 'A white fox will appear if the king is benevolent and wise.' The Book of Filial Piety, citing the Divine Covenant, says, 'If virtue reaches birds and beasts, a fox will have nine tails.'"

"In the White Tiger's Theory of Virtue and Fengshan written by Ban Gu, a historian and writer of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it says, "When virtue reaches the birds and beasts, the phoenix will fly, the phoenix will dance, the unicorn will appear, the white tiger will arrive, the fox and the nine-tailed white pheasant will descend, the white deer will be seen, and the white bird will descend."

Why does the fox have nine tails? A fox dies on its home hill, not forgetting its roots; it knows peace but not danger.

Is it necessarily the nine-tailed one? The nine concubines are in their proper places, and their descendants will prosper.

What is the tail? It will flourish after tomorrow.

“That’s why the nine-tailed fox has always been an auspicious animal and is not afraid of being discovered.

"If it were discovered that King Zhou had married a nine-tailed fox, it would be a great auspicious sign. Everyone in the Shang Dynasty would praise him, and the Shang Dynasty would only become more stable.

"And according to Chinese mythology, Dayu's wife, Tushan, was a nine-tailed fox.

King Zhou's ability to marry a nine-tailed fox was a testament to his emulation of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, demonstrating that he was a wise ruler recognized by the nine-tailed fox.

Meng Ziyi was completely stunned when he heard this.

Wei Jun's remarks directly refreshed her three views.

"Director Wei, you really know a lot."

In the TV series "The Empress's Quick Travel Journey", the fact that the nine-tailed fox is a sign of good fortune was also popularized through the Empress's words.

Ironclad evidence.

After watching it, the audience had a similar reaction to Meng Ziyi.

"I felt like I was watching a fake Investiture of the Gods."

"The fox spirit was previously considered auspicious. My whole worldview has been completely overturned."

"The Empress is so cool, every episode gives me a brand new feeling."

"Xu Zhonglin is just a book writer. He knows nothing about Investiture of the Gods."

"If Director Wei dies one day, he will definitely die of rage."

The empress separated the nine-tailed fox and the monsters.

The audience has a completely new feeling about the almost familiar story of "Investiture of the Gods".

The same goes for Daji.

After being lectured by the Empress, Daji completely forgot the instructions of the Goddess Nuwa and knelt before the Empress, swearing: "Your Majesty, rest assured that I will never do anything to discredit the Nine-Tailed Fox in the Shang Dynasty. In the past, the Nine-Tailed Fox of Tushan was able to help Emperor Yu control the floods and leave a name in history.

Although Daji is not talented, she must learn from her predecessors."

Daji went straight from being a demon concubine to a virtuous queen.

This turn of events made the audience feel uncomfortable.

It is worth mentioning that Fan Bingbing made a guest appearance in the role of Sister.

Director Wei wanted to invite Wen Bixia, but Grandma Wen was not as well maintained as Grandma Zhao, and she was unwilling to come for fear of ruining her classic image of Daji in the audience's mind.

Since Grandma Wen said so, Wei Jun naturally couldn't force it.

I mentioned it to Fan Bingbing.

After all, Fan Bingbing also played Daji.

Moreover, Daji actually has very few scenes, and the main focus is on the empress's outrageous actions, so Fan Bingbing only needs to make a cameo appearance.

Fan Bingbing gave Director Wei face very readily.

It was just a guest appearance anyway, and it was over in half a day.

This is how favors in the circle come about.

Fan Bingbing's role as Daji did not overshadow the main character.

Because in "The Empress's Quick Travel", the Empress is the absolute protagonist.

Everyone else is a supporting character.

So most of the scenes are focused on the empress.

After changing Daji's mindset, the empress left Qingqiu and headed straight for Jin'ao Island.

Went to meet Tongtian Sect Master.

Looking at the entire Battle of the Gods, the big winner was the Western religion and the Great Zhou.

The big losers are naturally the big merchants.

And the Jiejiao sect led by Tongtian Patriarch.

The Jiejiao sect, which attracted thousands of immortals to pay homage, was almost wiped out in the end. It was a tragic situation.

Tongtian Sect Master, although a saint, was also fed poison by Hong Gou. The saint who was said to be immortal became an unlucky guy who could be poisoned to death at any time.

Because of Daji, Qingqiu was automatically locked together with Da Shang, and the empress did not want to change it.

It’s mainly because they stand on the side of big merchants, which makes it easy to make tricky moves.

Da Zhou and Western religion are already the winners, so she can't help much if she goes there.

But standing on the side of Da Shang and Tong Tian Jiaozhu, she can do a lot.

The Queen of Qingqiu rules over all the fox clans in the world. As a member of a clan of auspicious beasts, the Queen of Qingqiu is a powerful figure with influence in the entire Three Realms.

So the empress went to Jin'ao Island in person, and even Tongtian Sect Master, who was a saint, met her in person.

Then, the empress did something that left the audience stunned.

"The Saint is above, I have prepared a generous gift for you."

礼？

Tongtian Patriarch didn’t take it seriously at this time, and asked casually: “What?” The Empress took out a book with four big characters engraved on it - "Investiture of the Gods".

When the camera focused on the four words "Investiture of the Gods", the episode came to an end.

Leaving behind countless viewers with sprained backs.

Meng Ziyi was also caught.

"Is this okay?"

Meng Ziyi felt that her imagination was totally inadequate.

I can't keep up with the Empress's actions.

Director Wei's third leg penetrated deep into the enemy camp. As he charged, he asked with a smile, "Why not... A Tongtian Sect Master who knows the future, isn't such a Conferred God World worth looking forward to?"

What’s the point of filming Investiture of the Gods?

If you want to film it, you have to subvert the gods.

Director Wei arranged three lives and three worlds for the empress. In the first life, in Conferred Gods, the Qingqiu empress defied heaven to change her fate and competed with the Emperor of Heaven for power in order to extend the life of the Shang Dynasty.

In the end, he and Hong Gou died together and were reincarnated.

Then, she awakened in her second life during the Journey to the West. She was a rare and unlucky star that only appears once in a hundred years. When she was born, all the flowers in the city withered, so she was named Hua Qiangu.

At the same time, the background is set as the reverse journey to the West. Tathagata sent four masters and apprentices with the Eight Heavenly Books and the little white dragon to the Tang Dynasty in the East to preach. Along the way, they encountered various monsters and fought with them. It was found that they all had backers and would not be punished no matter how evil they did.

Bajie and Sha Seng felt that it was too dark, so they chose to give up. One hid in Gao Village and the other went into the Quicksand River. Only Wukong insisted on justice, slaying demons and monsters along the way, and escorting his master to the east to preach.

As a result, the Heavenly Court could no longer tolerate Sun Wukong, so it reached an agreement with the Buddha Tathagata - we can guarantee that Tang Sanzang can safely go to Chang'an to preach, but you have to deal with the troublemaker Sun Wukong.

Tathagata agreed, and after a conspiracy, Bailong was seriously injured and fell into the mountains, and Wukong was defeated and pressed under the Five Finger Mountain.

However, Tang Sanzang abandoned Sun Wukong and came to Chang'an alone. After preaching in Chang'an, he was named the emperor's younger brother and enjoyed wealth and glory until his death.

Five hundred years passed like this, and Hua Qiangu was born and rescued Sun Wukong.

One is a traitor who once wanted to regain the Jade Emperor's power, and the other is the Monkey King who is completely disappointed with the world.

The man and the monkey hit it off immediately. Hua Qiangu helped Sun Wukong escape from the Five Finger Mountain and gave him various skills and treasures from the Conferred Gods period.
