Magic Modified Huayu

Director Wei did not fool Teacher Bai.

This is an entrepreneurial drama based on Dong Ge, which follows Gai Ge as he grows up in an open society. The drama reflects the development and changes of the times through the growth of the protagonist. Director Wei only plans to film the development in the first season.

To put it in a very emotionally intelligent way, Director Wei only sang praises in the first season.

Carry forward the great achievements of Gaige’s opening up.

Praise be to the openness of our country, and our country's economy is thriving.

The Chinese people also live a better life.

Many people have changed their life destiny due to the development of the times and personal efforts.

Seeing the big picture from the small, it is a perfect entrepreneurial drama of the era with positive energy.

This is the drama you want to see above.

Director Wei didn't mind filming it either.

Because Dong Ge’s life experience is really relevant to this theme.

Rural children.

study hard.

The top scorer in the college entrance examination.

A small town test-taker changes his life through hard work, marries a beautiful and wealthy woman and reaches the pinnacle of his life.

Isn’t this positive energy?

It is countless times more positive than those dramas that promote hard work and upright protagonists who suffer all kinds of hardships and are wronged.

The publicity effect can be countless times better.

And this is real, not exaggerated, so Director Wei certainly doesn't mind filming it.

Director Wei has always been a pragmatic person and never minds having a rainbow hat on his head.

But light and darkness have the same origin.

No one can deny the achievements our country has made in recent years.

Dong Ge’s success in life is a microcosm of our country’s success in recent years.

But of course there are problems.

Denying that there are problems is just as unobjective as denying that there are successes.

In the first season, Director Wei filmed the development.

However, Director Wei did not plan to finish filming.

It would be best to just film Dong Ge reaching the peak of his life and then being set up by a scammer, and then ending it abruptly.

Leave enough suspense for the second season.

In the second season, we should film the changes.

Changing times.

Character changes.

Historical changes.

The protagonist's rapid progress over the years has accumulated a lot of wealth for him.

It will inevitably bring many problems.

For example, the expansion of selfish desires.

For example, the arrogance of those in power.

For example, changes in class lead to changes in stance.

To put it bluntly, the first season sings praises and promotes positive energy.

The second season goes a step further, seeing the big picture from the small details, and analyzing the current problems through the current situation of the protagonist.

Therefore, the protagonist of the first season may not be perfect and may make mistakes in some minor details, but in the big picture, he must be a positive entrepreneur who is qualified to be a role model of the times.

The image of the protagonist in the second season will gradually turn neutral, and the prominent problems will become more obvious.

And it won’t be cool enough.

Because the protagonist will take a detour.

Will reflect.

Can think.

They may even gradually fade into the background.

Director Wei even feels that, judging by the nature of viewers who like to rate the show, the ratings for the second season might be higher than the first because the second season was originally intended to be a film of artistic height.

And the first season is just for fun.

Even so, Director Wei only plans to shoot the first season.

The second season is going to be handed over to someone else.

This is a rare film directed by Director Wei himself, and its sequel may surpass its reputation.

But Director Wei was mentally prepared.

If the ratings and reputation are exceeded, then it is exceeded.

The results are definitely beyond compare.

You can not have it both ways.

People always have to make choices.

Director Wei has come this far, so of course he knows how to make films that have a better reputation.

But he also knows how to make the plot more exciting.

When the two conflict, Director Wei will choose to sacrifice artistic height in 99% of cases to make the plot more exciting and the audience feel simpler and happier.

So Director Wei is ultimately a commercial director at heart. He understands art, but he doesn't want to shoot that way.

It's like "The Long Season".

Director Wei had seen it in his previous life.

It’s really a good drama.

Apart from the unexciting plot, there is almost nothing wrong with it in other aspects.

The actors' acting skills, the meticulous plot, the logical deduction, the connection of details...

Everything is connected.

Even with the most critical eye, there is nothing wrong with it.

For Director Wei, it is not an exaggeration to give it 9 points or even full marks.

But the plot isn't really exciting enough.

The protagonist Wang Xiang, played by Fan Wei, lost his son and wife. After decades of immersion in revenge and the truth, he finally got the answer that no one killed his son.

The second male lead, Gong Biao, played by Qin Hao, married a man who had cheated on him before marriage, and everyone around him knew about it.

Then she cheated on him after they got married, and he eventually died in a car accident.

Chen Minghao plays the third male lead, Ma Desheng, who was once the captain of the Xingjing team. He was depressed for decades because the case was not solved and eventually suffered a stroke.

The heroine Shen Mo, played by Li Gengxi, was visited by her uncle since she was a child. When she grew up, she was betrayed by her best friend and raped by a wealthy businessman from Hong Kong.

In the end, she took revenge, but ended up killing her beloved boyfriend and sending her only relative, her brother, to jail. She herself hid her identity and became an ordinary female worker. "The Long Season" is really good, and the art is also true, but it is normal that the performance is not explosive.

There are some dramas that the audience knows are good, but they are still reluctant to watch them.

It's all for a reason.

Director Wei can fully understand.

Even a professional like him would feel uncomfortable after watching such a play, let alone ordinary audiences.

So even though he knew that this way of filming would definitely be a hit, Director Wei still planned to only shoot films that would be popular.

Director Wei even thought that it would be a good idea to let Xin Shuang, the director of "The Long Season", shoot the second season.

This director isn't very good at making heartwarming dramas, but if you ask him to improve the art and logic to boost reputation, there's no problem at all. "The Bad Kids" and "The Long Season" are both above average.

It's the kind of movie that you might not like, but you can only say that it doesn't suit your taste, and you can't say that it's not well-made.

People have different pursuits.

There is nothing wrong with pursuing business, and there is certainly nothing wrong with pursuing art.

As long as you can always find sponsors who are willing to support you, or find a balance between art and business, that is not a problem.

Originally, Director Wei really didn't plan to use Teacher Bai.

But Mr. Bai deserves to be rewarded for his hard work in striving for the role.

Besides, roles can be divided into easy and difficult ones.

Director Wei was very worried that Ms. Bai would not be able to perform well in order to give her a complex role.

If Teacher Bai is given a flat role, he will probably just be forgotten.

But give Teacher Bai a married woman who is unpopular and the third party of a wealthy boss...

Director Wei absolutely believes in Mr. Bai's acting skills.

Serious face, no sarcasm.

Because of trust, we are willing to invest.

Director Wei is so good at selecting and assigning talents to the right positions.

"Sister Tao, I promise you that the role I'll give you will be a very important one that connects the past and the future. It will definitely have no less screen time than the two heroines I chose in the first season."

Teacher Bai originally planned to firmly refuse to agree.

But after Director Wei said this, she was still a little moved.

"Is it really important?"

Director Wei immediately said, "It's very important. Without her, there would be no second season.

Sister Tao, you should have confidence in me.

If I want a sequel to a movie, it will definitely happen."

Teacher Bai nodded.

She does have this confidence.

As long as the previous season of a drama performs well enough and the story is obviously not finished, then of course a second season can be filmed.

Whether Director Wei is filming a movie or a TV series, it is difficult for him to do poorly.

So the pie that Director Wei painted for her is not virtual. As long as she is willing, there is a 99% chance that she can eat it.

Teacher Bai is only worried about whether this role can attract fans after being filmed well.

Will it have a counter-effect?

"You said this character is the third party?"

Teacher Bai was a little confused: "How can a third party be the heroine?"

Director Wei smiled: "Sister Tao, you need to open your mind. Who says the heroine must be pure and kind?" The heroine Shen Mo in "The Long Season" also killed people with a swift knife. She killed almost everyone in that play.

The heroine does not have to be righteous and kind.

Neither are domestic dramas.

However, because it is too challenging to the audience's taste and for the sake of public order and morality, most of the heroines are set up as silly and sweet.

"Of course, Sister Tao, I won't hide it from you. In my plan, the second season will have two female protagonists, just like the first season, and the heroine you play is one of them."

There will definitely be no story about Dong Ge’s ex-wife in the second season.

But there are still incumbents.
