Who are you calling powerful?

"Knowing or Not" is the abbreviation, the full name is "Knowing or Not Knowing or Not Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin", which comes from Li Qingzhao's "Ru Meng Ling".

In the previous life, this drama was produced by Noon Sunshine, with huge investment and a luxurious cast, and it was considered the king of dramas.

But when it was broadcast, "Knowing or Not" did not meet the expectations of the outside world, especially in the early stage, the ratings did not break 1 at one time, and the online broadcast data was also suppressed by "The Great River".

However, in the later period, the plot of "Knowing or Not" was fully unfolded, and the performance increased significantly, and it continued to dominate the ratings and online broadcast data charts, and the annual performance was also very beautiful.

However, even so, "Knowing or Not" can only be said to be a hot drama, and it is difficult to be regarded as a phenomenal hit.

But the biggest advantage of this drama, which is called Zhao Liying's retirement drama, is actually the super long tail effect.

Every audience has done it, but there are really few dramas that can last for many years and even compete with hot new dramas.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" is the most typical example. I don't know how many viewers have watched it more than ten times, and it is said that there are many who have watched it more than a hundred times.

"Do You Know?" is also the same. It has countless fans and is regarded as a must-have drama by countless viewers.

According to statistics from many third-party platforms, "Do You Know?" has always been the number one old drama, and has been in the top ten many times. If it is not the first on other platforms, it is basically in the top three or top five.

What's more terrifying is that "Do You Know?" not only performs well among old dramas, but also has no fear of competing with those popular new dramas.

In the data statistics of some platforms, "Do You Know?" has even made it into the top ten of the annual online broadcast data three times and the top twenty five times.

"Do You Know?" is also one of the "retirement dramas" officially recognized by Youku. The related editing topics of B station and short videos are also top-notch in film and television themes.

Hot dramas are rare, and there are only a few every year!

A hit requires the right time, right place, and right people, which can only be encountered by chance!

As for this kind of [pension insurance] that can be popular for many years, it depends on fate. If an actor can encounter it, his career will be considered complete!

Boss Wei opened the eyes of God and intercepted all kinds of people. He is the actor with the most retirement dramas, from "My Love from the Star", "Eastern Palace", "Joy of Life" and "Nirvana in Fire", all of which are dramas with good long-tail effects.

"My Love from the Star" is known as the pinnacle of idol dramas in domestic entertainment. Even after many years, many people are still willing to support Professor Gu and Fan Qianqian.

"Joy of Life" is not to be mentioned. It is the current peak of domestic drama ratings. It can't be low just by relying on the basic fan base of these dramas.

"Nirvana in Fire" is also liked by many people. At its peak, it can even compete with "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in terms of old drama replay data.

"Eastern Palace" was mentioned earlier. This kind of abuse drama has a lot of stamina. It once supported Naza, who was not developing smoothly, for several years.

In addition, the drama "Eastern Palace" is also the favorite of the editing area of ​​​​B station. Li Chengyin, played by Wei Yang, has been matched with many people, and is said to support half of the editing area of ​​​​B station.

Liu Shishi also has her own pension insurance.

"Startling by Each Step" is also one of the "pension dramas" officially recognized by Youku. She is the first female lead in "Joy of Life".

On the contrary, Zhao Liying has many hit dramas, but the only one that can be shown off with the long tail effect is "The Story of Ming Palace Raiders".

"The Journey of Flower" is popular, but it is more like fast food entertainment, and it is difficult to be popular for a long time.

Therefore, Wei Yang took the copyright of "Do You Know" very early and kept it for Zhao Liying, so that she could experience the taste of having super pension insurance.

Unexpectedly, he also got himself involved in the circle in the end.

In Zhao Liying's endless nagging, the guilty boss Wei hesitated for a long time, but still nodded.

"Okay, I'll play it."

Zhao Liying smiled and immediately called the producer of "Do You Know" to report the good news.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Liying is also the producer of "Knowing or Not", and she is the chief producer, the actual boss of the entire crew, and the producer who called is Zhao Liying's deputy, and he is responsible for casting.

The producer was stunned when he heard Zhao Liying's call. He asked two more questions before hanging up the phone with a little confusion, and he still felt that Zhao Liying might be joking with him.

You know, the first role of "Knowing or Not" is Zhao Liying, and the male lead is only the second role.

Moreover, "Knowing or Not" is a female-oriented house fighting drama, and letting Boss Wei be the male lead is really... too much of a waste of talent.

However, when he told the news to another executive producer, the latter felt that it was not worth making a fuss about.

What is the first and second roles? Other artists may be entangled in this, but the couple is too lazy to argue.

And with Boss Wei's current status, he still cares about the ranking. He is just a small role, and he is still the center of the entire crew.

As for why he would play the theme of house fighting...

Who knows what Boss Wei thinks? Just like everyone doesn't understand why he still makes movies when he has this much wealth, maybe he just wants to play with his wife, why should a worker bother about this, they just do whatever the boss tells them to do.

Anyway, as the producer of "Do You Know?", it's a great thing that Boss Wei joined, that's enough.

After being told by the executive producer, the producer also reacted, yes, who cares what the trick is, just know that it's a good thing.

Thinking of this, the producer was about to run out with his bag, but was stopped by the executive producer.

"Where are you going, isn't it a meeting?"

"What the hell, I'm going to go to the bosses and slap them in the face for the boss joining, and let them increase my budget."

One sentence set off a thousand waves, and other people also reacted one after another. Some called and some looked for people. The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became a hundred times more heated.

"Yes, that's right. All the previous advertising plans have been overturned. This little money is for beggars. Give me a big raise."

"The original director should stop the contract first. I will report to Mr. Zhao to see what the boss means."

"What about the list of actors who were not selected before? Call them to come for an interview. Yes, an interview. The other casting lists will also be put on hold for the time being. I guess we will have to have a meeting. Don't let go if someone asks about it."

"What PPTV deputy director? Let their director and the vice president in charge talk to me. Be arrogant. Now we are in the initiative."

"..."

Originally, with Zhao Liying's support and being a key project of Blue Whale, "Do You Know?" can be regarded as a large crew in the industry. The attitude is not ordinary. Now that they know that Boss Wei is also participating in the show, they are even more arrogant.

They are so domineering that even the crew of "Chi Le Chuan", which had the highest status in Blue Whale before, will be slapped in the face.

Thanks to this group of people, the news that Wei Yang and Zhao Liying are working together to film a movie quickly spread in a small circle, and there are similar rumors on the Internet.

This makes Zhao Liying's fans very happy!

For so many years, except for "Shan Shan Comes", Zhao Liying has been working with other actors or taking on projects alone, and then watching Wei Yang and others filming with eager eyes. Finally, it's our turn to enjoy the feeling of being led by a super god teammate.

Passers-by are also optimistic about this cooperation. After all, Zhao Liying has performed brilliantly in recent years, and she and Boss Wei can be said to be a strong combination, and they may achieve more success.

This is a good thing for the audience, and everyone naturally expressed support.

But fans of other 85 flowers and some female stars find it difficult to accept this result, and some fans of Wei Yang are also dissatisfied.

It is normal that fans of 85 flowers and other female stars find it difficult to accept. Zhao Liying is holding back a big move. Who wants to see their competitors stand out?

The voices of dissatisfaction of Wei Yang's fans are more complicated!

Some people simply don't like Zhao Liying. This situation is very common. There are opponents for Wei Yang to cooperate with any female star.

Some people are not very interested in the subject matter and plot, which is normal. Fans have their own preferences, and not all of Wei Yang's works are mindlessly supported. When encountering a subject they don't like, some objections are inevitable.

Some people heard the news and knew some of the inside stories of "Knowing or Not", and were very angry at Wei Yang's "self-degradation" behavior.

Many artists have been criticized for "rank cancer", and there is no room for error in the ranking.

In fact, many times, the "rank cancer" of fans in the fan circle is even more terrifying, and has even reached a pathological level. In their hearts, their idols must be high above, must be the center of the world, and must be different.

Because of Wei Yang's own excellence and respected status, many of his fans have this problem.

"Knowing or Not" is suspected to be the second, and it is a house fighting drama mainly from a female perspective. It is simply an offense and insult. It is definitely a drug that the surname Zhao gave Wei Yang.

Of course, there are naturally supporters who oppose.

There are those who don't like Zhao Liying, and there are those who like Zhao Liying. There are those who are not interested in the theme of house fighting, and there are those who are particularly interested in this theme.

Some people think that Boss Wei is "self-degrading", while others support Boss Wei to shoot whatever he wants and stick to himself. They are only responsible for watching the show.

Some even said that given Boss Wei's current status and status, he will shoot fewer and fewer movies in the future, and he may even retire one day. What's there to be picky about? Just watch and cherish it.

…

Wei Yang read a circle of comments and was more or less disappointed.

He actually thought that if the outside world's opposition was too loud, he would take advantage of the situation to push the show.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Liying has a good audience appeal. Many people are looking forward to her cooperation with Wei Yang. Her fans are also too Buddhist, fearing that he will be stimulated to retire from the circle and stop filming. They will give up after shouting a few times.

Now it seems that the most opposed to "Knowing or Not" are the fans of the 85 flowers and actresses.

But their words are not counted. On the contrary, the more they oppose, the more Zhao Liying becomes excited and must promote this matter. Wei Yang wants to take advantage of the situation, and she has to push it up.

However, not long after, Boss Wei changed his mind and no longer disliked "Knowing or Not". Instead, he helped with the preliminary work in a down-to-earth manner.

The reason why Boss Wei changed his attitude was not complicated. It was Zhao Liying's assistant who secretly broke the news to him.

Zhao Liying hoped that Wei Yang would participate in "Knowing or Not". In addition to the long shooting time and the many benefits to the project and her career, there were two very important reasons.

First, one of the main plots of "Knowing or Not" is the emotional line of the male and female protagonists. The stages of acquaintance, love, marriage, and post-marriage are complete and perfect, and the emotions are rich.

Zhao Liying wanted to film with Wei Yang, and what she wanted most was this kind of warm and sweet emotional drama.

No matter how popular other themes and styles of film and television are, they are not so meaningful to her. She just wants to "openly" hype CP and show affection with Wei Yang.

Second, Zhao Liying has always been thinking about the luxurious wedding scene in the script of "Knowing or Not".

Although Zhao Liying never said it, she still has a knot in her heart about marriage, and she also regrets that she has not experienced a wedding.

After all, she is a woman, who doesn't dream of a romantic and grand wedding.

Since it's not possible in reality, it's not impossible to make up for it in the play, and the most important thing is that Liu Shishi has been treated like this before.

That was when filming "Celebrating Yu Nian 2", Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er got married.

Wei Yang did not make the wedding scene as shabby as in the previous life drama version, but followed the original novel and made the wedding scene very grand.

The bride wore a phoenix crown and a red robe, surrounded by pearls and jade, and the whole scene was decorated with lights and crowded with people. Although it was a filming, it also captured the lively and festive atmosphere of a wedding. In addition, given the real relationship between Wei Yang and Liu Shishi, who could say that they were not really getting married at that time, both in and out of the play.

It is obvious that Wei Yang used this scene to compensate Liu Shishi to a certain extent. Liu Shishi understood what he meant, and Zhao Liying also got it.

So now that "Knowing or Not" has this opportunity, Zhao Liying naturally does not want to miss it.

Even in the play, she hopes to have a "wedding" with Wei Yang to end her regrets.

Wei Yang couldn't tell whether the assistant wanted to help Zhao Liying and deliberately gave him the news, or whether Zhao Liying was simply reminding him through the assistant behind the scenes.

Anyway, when he knew the significance of "Knowing or Not" to Zhao Liying, he had to go to this play.

Who made him owe others, not only a play, but also a "wedding". If he didn't pay it back, it would be too heartless.

Then again, regardless of intentional or unintentional, the words have been said so clearly, and there is also the precedent of Liu Shishi. If Wei Yang still doesn't do it, it would be too bullying.

Boss Wei is really afraid that this woman will get angry and take out some stick from her collection to hit him when she falls asleep one day...

From the moment he confirmed that he would join the group, Wei Yang automatically took on the title of "Knowing or Not" producer, and he also took the initiative to ask about studying the script.

In order to sell more money, the original drama of "Knowing or Not" was crazy enough to make nearly 80 episodes. The poor performance and controversial reputation in the early stage of the first broadcast were due to the excessively slow plot and rhythm.

Although this kind of house fighting drama is inseparable from family matters, and most of them are slow to warm up and need to get better gradually.

But as I said, the producers can't expect the audience to understand you.

Both "The Rise of Phoenixes" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" wanted the audience to overcome some problems, but they were "overcome" in the end.

If "Knowing or Not" did not have enough advantages, such as excellent costumes, ancient style, layered plot and character setting, most actors were powerful, good post-production such as music editing, and the interactive effect between the characters, details and the characters and the audience, it would probably follow the footsteps of these two dramas.

Because of this, if the fatal weakness of the slow rhythm of the plot can be solved, some other slots and defects can be improved and optimized.

Remove the dross and keep the essence, highlight the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, maybe "Knowing or Not" in this time and space will be more brilliant than the previous life.

With Boss Wei personally helping to sort out the script, Zhao Liying was even more confident and started the preparatory work of "Knowing or Not" wholeheartedly.

In some places, she would also ask Boss Wei for advice, such as casting.

Boss Wei, who has watched the original drama and participated in the script work, has a lot to say about this. He made several suggestions that hit the nail on the head, which benefited the crew of "Do You Know?" a lot.

However, today's casting proposal gave Boss Wei a headache.

Chen Duling plays Zhu Manniang.

This character is a villain in the play. The male protagonist's former mistress gave birth to two children for the male protagonist. She looks weak and indifferent, but in fact she is bad and spiteful, with a vicious mind. In the end, she got herself into trouble and assisted the male and female protagonists to take their relationship a step further, and she also went crazy.

For such a role, Zhao Liying asked Chen Duling, whose nickname is "Little Liu Shishi", to play it.

Tsk tsk, it seems that nothing has been said, and it seems that everything has been said, which is really vicious.

If this is really decided, Liu Shishi will come directly to Gubei No. 1 to settle the account. Zhao Liying is not afraid, because he is afraid that he can't enter the door of COFCO Seaview No. 1.

So no matter how Zhao Liying recommends, Wei Yang did not let Chen Duling play any negative role.

She was still a little unwilling, until Wei Yang said something, she finally stopped.

"You don't want an actress named "Little Zhao Liying" to do evil things in Tangren and Mixing's plays one day, do you?..."
