Chapter 317: Dilirouba Becomes Popular, Box Office Finally Breaks 500 Million
Xiao Zhao did not return to the hotel until after 8 o'clock in the evening. He learned that Wang Yunping had forgotten to bring a fan and other items to relieve the heat. He suffered a little and was very upset.
"It's all my fault that I forgot to ask one more question. The same goes for Yuanyuan (assistant). Didn't you see that Auntie is hot? Can't you ask someone to call me?"
"It's okay. Auntie is not a spoiled lady. Why did you come back so late? Did something happen?"
Wang Yunping was afraid that Xiao Zhao and Wei Yang would quarrel again because of her, so she quickly changed the topic.
Xiao Zhao then explained that there was probably something wrong with the crew, and she happened to be responsible for it, so she rushed over to deal with it, otherwise Wang Yunping would not be left alone on the crew.
"What happened?"
Wei Yang didn't blame Xiao Zhao. He just saw that he had been out for so long and thought it was some kind of difficult problem. The latter shook his head.
"It's not a big deal. An actor fell while riding a horse while filming. I'm the actor coordinator and executive producer, so I went over to handle it."
If an actor has an accident on the set, the crew must be responsible. In terms of medical expenses and treatment, all kinds of troubles must be dealt with clearly. If there is a replacement, contract issues must also be resolved.
The matter is not big, but it is trivial and complicated. It is no wonder that Xiao Zhao was busy for most of the day.
In front of Wang Yunping, Wei Yang didn't say much. When the two returned to Xiao Zhao's room, Wei Yang couldn't help but ask.
"Can you bear it? If you are too tired from filming, you can stop the behind-the-scenes work."
Wei Yang knew how tiring it was to star in a TV series. Now that Xiao Zhao was in the position, he was responsible for a lot of things. Adding the two together, the workload was not low.
Although he hopes that Xiao Zhao can achieve some results behind the scenes, it does not mean that Wei Yang is willing to tire his girlfriend out.
"I think it's okay. It was a bit difficult at first, but now I'm used to it and I'm adapting well. It's fulfilling every day in front of and behind the scenes."
Compared with the Buddhist Liu Shishi, Xiao Zhao is energetic and willing to help Wei Yang solve problems, so he is very keen to shoulder some of the company's burdens and does not feel tired or exhausted.
"Act within your capabilities and don't be too strong."
Seeing Xiao Zhao's insistence, Wei Yang could only give her a few words of advice, telling her not to tire him out, and at the same time thinking about taking him to relax later.
"When the filming of "Celebrating More Than Years" is completed, you will also finish filming, and we will go to the United States to have a tour."
"Are you going to take your aunt and uncle with you?"
When Xiao Zhao heard what Wei Yang said, his first reaction was happiness, and his second reaction was that of Wang Yunping and his wife.
This made Wei Yang feel a little ashamed. He only thought about the world of two people, and this son was not as filial as Xiao Zhao.
"I won't bring it with me this time, next time the whole family will be together."
The last time Wei Yang went to Europe with Liu Shishi, it was a two-person world. There was no reason that this time he and Zhao Liying would have to take care of the family and bring the water to the table.
Xiao Zhao would naturally not object. Although she had a good relationship with Wang Yunping and was willing to hang out with everyone, if she could have a world with Wei Yang, other choices would naturally come second.
…
Wei Yang stayed on the set of "Brilliant Star" for two days to ensure that Ms. Wang Yunping would not easily run away to the set of "Celebrating More Than Years" before setting off for filming.
He has been out for dozens of days and has been delayed in shooting too much. As soon as he came back, he was busy with all kinds of work to pay off his debts.
When someone comes back, someone has to leave.
Rouba, who had previously stayed on the crew of "Celebrating More Than Years", left the crew shortly after Wei Yang returned to the crew and was busy promoting "Carat Lovers".
This drama is Blue Whale's summer masterpiece this year, and the lineup is quite impressive.
Qiao Zhenyu, who became popular in "Bu Bu Jing Xin", is the male lead, and Zhao Ji, a popular little girl, is the female lead. Rouba, who became popular after "Celebrating More Than Years", is the second female lead, which is considered an excellent configuration in many projects of Blue Whale.
The broadcast platform is Suzhou Satellite TV. After enjoying the success of "My Love from the Star" and "Shanshan Is Coming", this TV station is very fond of contemporary puppet dramas and spent a lot of money to acquire the copyright of "Carat Lover".
This year’s summer competition for the small screen is no less than that of the big screen, if not more so.
"Living Buddha Ji Gong 3", "End of the World Moon Knife", "True Love Lies", "Beauty Without Tears", "Mu Guiying Takes Command"...
The above are all TV series with certain selling points and characteristics, but the most worth mentioning——
It is also produced by Tang Dynasty and broadcast by Hunan Satellite TV, starring Hu Ge and Liu Shishi, "Xuanyuan Sword: Traces of the Sky".
As well as the highly influential sitcom "Love Apartment 3", which premiered on many satellite TV stations in Hui Province.
These two TV series are also the biggest rivals of "Carat Lovers" this summer.
Other TV series may be better in one aspect, but in comprehensive comparison, especially in terms of popularity and influence, the difference is by no means even a little bit worse.
What's even more interesting is that these three TV series have a lot of involvement with each other, and they are both enemies and friends.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the relationship between Blue Whale and Tangren. Even if there is competition this time, it is a friendly exchange.
As for the "Love Apartment" series, it is actually difficult to completely separate it from "Blue Whale".
Even Zhao Ji, the star of "Carat Lovers", appeared in several episodes of "Love Apartment 3", and Blue Whale artist Li Jiahang also made a guest appearance.
So this time it seemed like the fight was fierce, but in fact the fight was very gentle, and it could even be said that there wasn't much of a fight, and basically everyone was playing his own game.
On the surface, "Carat Lovers" has the best ratings, ranking first among the three dramas with an average ratings of 1.62.
However, the most popular and discussed one is "Love Apartment 3". In this regard, sitcoms have great advantages.
"Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky" is relatively balanced, and this drama is a bit weird.
Let's say it's not popular.
The data, popularity, and search index are all in place. The newcomer Jinfu who was to be promoted also became popular successfully, and Hu Ge and Liu Shishi both received good exposure.
Let's say it's popular.
But this drama doesn't have too many chewy points, but there are many complaints, and it doesn't leave a deep impression on people. I always feel that it is a level away from the so-called big hit.
How to say it, it may be that everyone has too deep a filter for "Chinese Paladin 3", which is also adapted from a game, and coupled with the big hit "Startling by Each Step" last year, so that the expectations for this drama of Tangren are very high, but the result is not satisfactory, which has lowered a lot of impression points.
In comparison, "Diamond Lover" is actually a few breaths away from "My Dear Star" and "My Sunshine".
However, since it is not Wei Yang who starred in it, everyone's expectations for this drama are not so high, and many people are satisfied with it if it can achieve this result.
Not to mention, the drama "Diamond Lover" also made Rouba popular.
The plot of the drama "Diamond Lover" is very typical, with the ugly duckling counterattacking and finally marrying the domineering boss.
However, this drama has an additional love line between the second male and second female. The male is okay, but the female protagonist is a dog-licking spare tire, and the second female is a female star.
To be honest, this character has a deep shadow of the heroine Fan Qianqian in "My Love from the Star", and it can even be said that it is a youth version.
It's just that Fan Qianqian in "My Love from the Star" is beautiful and cheerful, carefree, and Gao Wen in "Diamond Lover" is more irritable, silly, and funny.
Wei Yang strongly feels that the character of "Diamond Lover" was originally copied from "My Love from the Star".
Of course, now that both dramas are from Wei Yang alone, copying oneself is not called plagiarism, but adaptation.
"My Love from the Star" has proved how likable this character is, of course, the premise is to perform the essence.
And Rouba is just inexplicably suitable for this style.
Although compared with Fan Xiaopang, her role is a little bit exaggerated, but her role setting is younger, and as the second female lead, she also has more comedy elements, so she can perform in her own style.
She has become Gao Wen, who belongs to Dili Rouba, instead of a low-profile version of Fan Qianqian/Fan Xiaopang.
So, a beautiful, exquisite, quirky, full of vitality, and a little soft and arrogant big star has become one of the hottest TV characters this summer.
"Diamond Lover" has also become a rare TV series where the supporting role suppresses the male and female protagonists.
Many people would never have thought that Rouba has not yet broadcast a female lead drama, but has become famous with two supporting roles in "Celebrating Yu Nian" and "Diamond Lover".
This Xinjiang beauty, who has always been suppressed by her good sister Nazha, can no longer cover up her brilliance after "Diamond Lover", and has become another rising star in the entertainment industry.
The so-called two beauties in Xinjiang are no longer one big leading one small.
Maybe there is still some gap between the two, but it is not as obvious as before, but the two stand side by side and shine together.
Wei girl has added another brilliant achievement, or in other words, Blue Whale has a new cash cow.
Moreover, the ratings of "Diamond Lover" are strong. Although the male and female protagonists are not as popular as Rouba, under Wei Yang's adaptation, there are not as many complaints as in the previous life. At most, they are not very outstanding, but they have also brought certain popularity and exposure to the actors Qiao Zhenyu and Zhao Ji.
Especially Zhao Ji, who was originally standing at the threshold of a first-line actress.
Now with "Diamond Lover" and "Love Apartment 3", it has made a lot of headlines in the summer season. Although there are certain disadvantages in commercial value and other aspects, relying on the platform of Blue Whale, it is recognized by people as a first-line actress.
Although "Diamond Lover" did not establish a crushing advantage as usual, the data from all parties is not bad, and it also made Di Li Rouba popular, which can be regarded as not falling on the golden signboard of Blue Whale.
Double happiness!
While "Diamond Lover" swept the small screen, "Famous" was finally released after more than a month of hot screenings, with a final box office of 505 million!
This result surprised Blue Whale. According to the budget, everyone estimated that 480 million would be enough.
Unexpectedly, there were no powerful new films in August, which gave "Famous" another wave of life. After stumbling, it finally successfully broke through the 500 million mark.
Boss Wei was very pleased. In his busy schedule, he took time out to hold a banquet for the two crews in Shanghai to celebrate the success, and at the same time, it also brought a perfect end to this summer season.
This summer, Blue Whale has another popular little flower called Dilirouba.
This summer, the Chinese film industry ushered in a new demon king...
