Magic Modified Huayu

Even if we squeeze out half of the water, this drama is still the most popular TV series so far this year, no doubt about it.

Of course, this is only for now. After "An Jia" is released, "Eternal Love" will most likely lose its position.

Because the data it fabricated was really good... and it was confirmed by the official.

So no one believed the performance of this drama.

No one knows how much water is in it.

Director Wei couldn't tell either.

Because the plot of this drama is very bad, it is just the traditional ancient idol fantasy routine.

It seems that it made Da Mimi popular again and also made Dilraba more popular. Many people even think that Fengjiu played by Dilraba is her classic role and is recognized by many audiences.

Then a few years later, Reba starred in a movie herself, using the same IP and the role of Fengjiu, "Three Lives Three Worlds, The Pillow Book", which flopped quietly.

So how much water is there?

God knows.

In front of Wei Jun, Da Mimi didn't hide her feelings and said directly, "It's okay to support newcomers in ancient idol dramas and fairy tales, but if Reba wants to move up, our company can't help her. It will take a big shot like you, Director Wei, to do it."

"I'll remember it if there's a suitable play."

Director Wei nodded indifferently and reminded her, "Hone your acting skills more. When you're beautiful and popular enough, it all comes down to your acting skills. Don't learn from your sister Mi."

Reba blinked and didn't dare to respond.

Da Mimi rolled her eyes at Director Wei and said seriously, "My acting isn't as bad as you say, okay? My role as Bai Qian in Eternal Love received a lot of praise."

Director Wei: "Are you talking about the trending search 'After Yang Mi, there will be no Bai Qian'? Didn't you pay for that?"

Da Mimi: "...Wei Jun, you are such a disgusting person."

Talk nonsense.

"My role as Hokusai in The Sword Identity will show you that I am a talented actor."

Da Mimi said confidently: "Director Lu said that my acting was good."

Wei Jun's interest was piqued: "How was 'The Blade of the Assassin' filmed?"

"It was filmed according to the original script."

Da Mimi said, "Although the idea you gave me was very tempting, we had already started filming and it was too late to make any last-minute changes. Besides, our director isn't you, he doesn't have the same energy and courage."

Wei Jun nodded.

This is true.

Director Wei dared to change the idea halfway through filming and overturn and reshoot all the previously shot content.

Other directors wouldn’t dare.

They are responsible for their investments.

After all, I still have to work in this circle in the future.

If something like this happens, whether they succeed or fail, it will affect their reputation in the industry.

If you fail, you will have no chance of staying in the circle.

So even though the crew of "The Sword Identity" from top to bottom were very interested in Director Wei's idea of ​​"time travel + destroying the Qing Dynasty" and felt that it had a great chance of being a success, they still held back.

I didn't dare to go up directly.

"But Director Lu agreed to my next invitation. We have already filmed a web drama about traveling back in time to destroy the Qing Dynasty, and Station A has also purchased it."

Speaking of this, Da Mimi was a little excited.

"Dilraba and I both have a role in it. It should be after 'An Jia'. Wei Jun, remember to promote this drama for me when the time comes. I invested a lot of money in it."

"no problem."

Wei Jun nodded and said, "I'm also quite interested in this kind of drama. Let me know when it goes online."

The drama about wearing Qing Dynasty clothes and sending hotties has been very popular for a while.

Da Mimi and Liu Shishi both became famous thanks to Qing Dynasty time-travel dramas, although they were already very popular before.

But the real popularity comes from Qing Dynasty time-travel dramas.

This results in Qing Dynasty dramas having different weights in the minds of many viewers and different status in the eyes of capital.

Because Qing Dynasty palace dramas have produced too many hits.

Under such circumstances, it is actually difficult to film a drama about the destruction of the Qing Dynasty.

Da Mimi is willing to be the first to speak out, and Wei Jun certainly supports her.

If the Qing drama is successfully eliminated, it will not be a dream to see the slaughter of wild boar skins on the screen in the future. However, Director Wei is not suitable for filming such scenes.

Because there are too many Manchus in the entertainment industry.

And many of them have a good relationship with him.

For example, Wu Jing... Fu Dalong...

Guan Xiaotong...

There are many, many more.

They are all Manchu.

And it's not just celebrities.

Both in front of and behind the scenes, including those in charge within the official system.

There are too many Manchus.

When the country was first founded, the bannermen were actually arranged within this system.

Therefore, many of the senior leaders in this circle are Manchus.

For example, the two Mr. Wangs of Huayi Brothers are also.

Of course, many of them don’t care about the Qing Dynasty or not, as they have already successfully assimilated into Chinese culture.

The people are really nice.

Wei Jun couldn't find any fault with people like Wu Jing and Fu Dalong.

Guan Xiaotong...what a good and well-behaved student.

Even these people do not receive special treatment or special resources.

Wu Jing had failed so badly before.

So in the entertainment industry, Manchu celebrities are not the best, this is all a rumor.

But they certainly don't want to see the Qing Dynasty being destroyed...

After all, he is someone else's ancestor.

Who can be happy if you destroy their ancestors?

If you put yourself in Director Wei's shoes, you will completely understand his feelings.

Therefore, Director Wei himself is not suitable to shoot this kind of movie.

His position is too high, and it is not appropriate for him to cause trouble for others, as they have done nothing wrong.

But Director Wei wanted to see this kind of play.

So Da Mimi is willing to shoot the film. She has money and popularity, so Director Wei will of course strongly support her.

As for Da Mimi offending others because of this...

Ahem, what does this have to do with Director Wei?

Just hold on to Director Wei's thigh.

Director Wei will definitely not let her suffer any loss.

"Mr. Wei, do you really think there's a market for this kind of play?"

"Nonsense, you know the market for time-travel dramas. As for destroying the Qing Dynasty... you might get a lot more male fans. Male audiences really like watching this."

"That's great. I have so many female fans that it's almost saturated."

Da Mimi was very Versailles.

But it's also true.

As long as the star relies on traffic, regardless of gender, the main force of the fan base is female fans.

Although these fan groups will refute the rumors themselves by saying that Dr. So-and-so likes his own brother very much, and that the male classmates around him also like to watch So-and-so's show "Ling" and So-and-so's show "Zhan", the majority of the fans are female.

Are there any male fans? Of course.

There are more than one billion people in China.

Aren't you going to produce some blind people?

With such a large traffic volume as Da Mimi, her fan base among female audiences has indeed reached saturation. Those who like her have already liked her, and those who don’t like her will still not like her.

If she wants to go further, she should indeed explore the male market.

The latter is what hinders her from making further progress in the film industry.

Da Mimi knows this herself.

"The main audience of the film's box office is mostly male audiences. If I can attract a lot of male fans, Chen Kaige and his wife will have no way to deal with me given my popularity. The film industry only recognizes box office performance."

Da Mimi said proudly.

Wei Jun nodded.

He also complained: "You have offended more than just Chen Kaige and Chen Hong in the film industry. You have also offended a group of directors in Hong Kong. You are a wolf."

Er Dongsheng directly complained that he would never ask Da Mimi to make a movie again.

The reason is similar to Chen Hong's.

Double play.

They think Da Mimi doesn’t respect their play.

It's also true.

Da Mimi's attitude towards filming is indeed not correct.

It's not directed at anyone.

It has always been like this.

We treat all great directors equally.

But Da Mimi also has something to say.

No matter what I do, I will still be angry.

Why should I serve you as my grandson?

Does it affect my ability to make less money?

Besides, are you the Lord of Wei?

How can I not act like one when I’m filming Wei Jun’s drama?

Ultimately, it's your fault.

The logic is impeccable.

At least Wei Jun will not interfere.

Anyway, just film his scenes well.

In other aspects... Director Wei also had no intention of training Da Mimi to become a people's artist.

Da Mimi was clearly not impressed by this either. She scoffed, "Those Hong Kong directors are just taking advantage of me because I'm a younger mainland female star. Why don't they cast actors who have multiple roles? What a joke! Can I be as good at overlapping as the Hong Kong actors back then? Xia Yufanghong, the Four Heavenly Kings—who didn't have a background in overlapping roles? I didn't even see them complaining about it back then."

Now you don't like me, it's because you think I'm easy to bully."

Director Wei asked, "Is there a possibility... that the Four Heavenly Kings, Xia Yufang Hong, were able to deliver performances that satisfied the director even when overlapping roles, while yours was awful?"

Da Mimi was silent for a minute.
