Who are you calling powerful?.

Chapter 449: Zhao Liying who smiles extremely happily and wildly

As of August, PPTV is still in full swing, but the World Cup in Brazil has passed, "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has also been completed for many days, and only "Running Man 8" is still popular.

Although the heat is still explosive, it still cannot satisfy the appetites of Wei Yang and others.

They took out the last trump card of their summer strategy——

"Flower Thousand Bones".

This drama has been in preparation for filming for a long time. The total investment amount is announced to be 1.2 million, but the actual investment cost is also more than 8000 million. If the investment in publicity and distribution is increased in the future, it is expected to exceed [-] million.

In addition to the "Celebrating More Than Years" trilogy and "Nirvana in Fire", Blue Whale has not let go of that many books.

Even "Nirvana in Fire" was more hindered by the huge salaries of Wei Yang and Liu Shishi, and the actual shooting cost was not that high.

The reason why "A Thousand Bones" is so expensive is largely due to the special effects.

This is the TV series that has spent the most on special effects since the establishment of Blue Whale. The entire series "A Thousand Bones" has a total of 58 episodes, and the special effects cost exceeds 3500 million. The average special effects investment for a single episode is 60+.

It may not seem like much, but you have to know that this is a TV series, and the special effects are completely different from those in movies.

You know, the previous "Gu Jian Qi Tan" was also a fairy tale and ancient puppet, and the reviews were good and bad. However, in terms of special effects, although it was not praised, it was not a laggard.

However, the special effects investment for a single episode of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is only more than 24, which is less than half of that of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers".

So far, despite the fact that the cost of TV dramas is getting higher and higher, it is mostly due to the remuneration. The actual shooting cost is far less exaggerated than the apparent change.

The special effects cost of 60 yuan per episode is not only the first in the TV drama industry, but it is definitely among the best.

Some fans of Zhao Liying and some unknown passers-by have expressed their dissatisfaction with Wei Yang to a certain extent before.

The reason is that Wei Yang has filmed with Liu Shishi many times, while Xiao Zhao only worked with him in "Shan Shan Is Coming".

Thinking that he favored Liu Shishi and suppressed Zhao Liying.

This statement is one-sided. You must know that most of the dramas that Wei Yang and Liu Shishi have collaborated with in recent years have featured Wei Yang, with Liu Shishi as the supporting actor.

Liu Shishi got bad benefits from it, but it didn't mean that Wei Yang treated Zhao Liying badly.

The previous "Brilliant Star" was the first major project invested by Blue Whale that did not star Wei Yang.

Today's "A Thousand Bones" may not have a stellar cast, but the behind-the-scenes cast and investment costs are definitely the best that Blue Whale has achieved since Wei Yang.

More importantly, "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" is a serious female protagonist, and the core of the whole drama is Xiao Zhao.

This is something that "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" played by Tang Yan cannot achieve.

Even though Damimi is Ichiban in the former, the core of the scenes and plot is Zhang Ruoyun. Although the latter is biased towards Tang Yan, the male protagonist's sense of presence is definitely not low. It can be said to be a [-]-[-] split.

So Wei Yang felt very wronged!
The cost of "A Thousand Bones" exceeds [-] million, and the special effects investment is the highest in the industry.

The theme is a fairy tale drama with a heroine, and the heroine is extremely lovable. It can almost be said that it is tailor-made for Zhao Liying. The cute and sweet girl style in the early stage, and the revengeful and independent heroine in the later stage are completely in line with Xiao Zhao's advantages and subsequent transformation path. .

The male protagonist is Qiao Zhenyu, the most famous actor in Blue Whale besides Wei Yang, and there are also a large number of stars and powerful actors who support the film. The director is Lin Yufen, the famous director of Blue Whale and a great ancient puppet master.

The broadcast platform is PPTV, the most popular website today, and Hunan Satellite TV, the dominant local station.

Each piece, piece by piece, was completely arranged according to Blue Whale's first sister and even half of the boss's wife. Damimi and Xinjiang Province's second beauties were all so greedy that they cried.

Wei Yang didn't point to anyone to praise, but he couldn't be said to be partial. This was definitely an insult to his bowl-serving skills.

Fortunately, only some people hold these thoughts. They either do not understand the situation or have selfish motives and cannot look at the problem objectively.

Most of them are discerning people, especially Xiao Zhao, who is very aware of the importance Wei Yang and even Blue Whale attach to her.

It is no exaggeration to say that, except for the inferior cast, all other parties believe that "Flower Thousand Bones" is stronger, and Blue Whale internally places "Flower Thousand Bones" above "The Legend of Ancient Swords".

Therefore, Wei Yang arranged for him to appear at the end of the summer strategy.

If the previous projects do not perform well, "A Thousand Bones" can be saved and perform smoothly, then it will have a beautiful ending and make PPTV's summer strategy even more brilliant.

Seeing that the premiere time is getting closer, Zhao Liying, who has just participated in a series of promotional activities from Star City and then returned to the Magic City, is in a good mood.

In other words, ever since Liu Shishi officially announced their breakup, she has been in a very beautiful mood.

In the conscience of heaven and earth, Zhao Liying has always regarded Liu Shishi as her biggest opponent, more threatening than Fan Xiaopang.

Moreover, compared to Fan Xiaopang who seems to be a little aloof and not directly involved in the competition, Liu Shishi's attitude is very clear, making it clear that he wants to compete with Zhao Liying.

One thing to say is that Liu Shishi put a lot of pressure on Zhao Liying.

According to her observations and some analyses, the relationship between Liu Shishi and Wei Yang was established very early, and she was not a woman who came over later. This made Xiao Zhao's trump card of "wretched wife" less effective on him.

You and the man named Wei have suffered a lot. I didn't want to take advantage of him back then. At most, you could have done it earlier, but don't show off your qualifications to me.

At the same time, Liu Shishi was too popular, had a brilliant career, and had two good helpers. The three of them joined forces to make it difficult for Zhao Liying to stand alone. She could not escape the oppression of the three people and was forced to win over the two beauties in Xinjiang Province.

What alarmed Zhao Liying the most was that Liu Shishi also met Wei Yang's parents and was suspected of being favored by his aunt Wei Xia.

The three trump cards that Xiao Zhao relies on most are the "Wife of Chaos", the support of Wang Yunping, and the reputation and strength at the Blue Whale Base Camp.

The first two trump cards, Liu Shishi, can offset them to the greatest extent, and the latter one also has its own forces to fight against. How could Zhao Liying not be afraid of Liu Shishi.

Especially in the first half of this year, Liu Shishi made a killing with "Wind in the House" and "Qing Yu Nian 3" at the beginning of the year, and no one in his generation can surpass him.

At the same time, Tang Yan and Damimi's popularity has skyrocketed with "Qing Yu Nian 3", "Why Sheng Xiao Mo", "Tiny Times" and "Gu Jian Qi Tan".

The three beauties of the Immortal Sword dominate the world and have almost reached their peak state.

When the three of them join forces, even Fan Xiaopang, Mr. Zhou and others have to avoid his edge.

Xiao Zhao, who was originally promised to be on the front line because of "The Star", even if he is determined, actually feels a little desperate when he sees this situation.

Too strong to fight!
Fortunately, she still has a copy of "Flower Thousand Bones" in her hand, and the two beauties in Xinjiang Province are not for nothing, especially meat. After "Run", her popularity exploded and her combat power increased sharply.

Otherwise, Xiao Zhao is determined to make things worse, and is prepared to give in first, waiting for the opportunity, and if it doesn't work, he will resort to crooked ways.

For example, drugging Wei Yang, giving birth to a child first, etc. Wang Yunping has hinted it several times anyway. With her mother-in-law protecting her, she is not afraid of Boss Wei falling out.

However, Zhao Liying never expected that the peak of prosperity would turn into decline, and she was prepared to give in if "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" failed to meet expectations.

As a result, Liu Shishi blew himself up!

When the assistant showed her the Weibo post while shouting on her cell phone, Zhao Liying locked herself in the hotel room and laughed to the sky for half an hour.

The operation of liking and then canceling the post was not because Zhao Liying was stupid, but because she just couldn't bear it.

Is there anything in the world that is more touching than a powerful old enemy suddenly "committing suicide"?

No matter what Wei Yang and Liu Shishi thought, if she didn't do something, she wouldn't be able to sleep that night.

Although the matter was suppressed a bit after that, neither of the parties involved responded. Liu Shishi's attitude was a bit ambiguous, and the so-called breakup declaration was not firm.

This made Zhao Liying a little disappointed, but not discouraged.

Even if Liu Shishi didn't break up in the end, too many points were lost. Even if Wei Yang didn't care, Zhao Liying didn't believe that others didn't have any opinions.Especially Wang Yunping and her aunt Wei Xia. Zhao Liying has had a lot of dealings with them. She knows that although they are usually strict with Wei Yang and often beat and reprimand him, they are mainly afraid that he will wander off and cause trouble. In fact, they regard this son/nephew as his son/nephew. Eyeballs hurt.

Liu Shishi poked their eyes like this, how could they maintain their previous attitude?

Thinking of Cao Cao's arrival, the cell phone rang. Zhao Liying answered the call and Wang Yunping's voice came from the phone.

"Liying, your uncle and I are back, and we also brought Yangyang and his grandma, you are still in Modu, come home for dinner and meet the old man."

"Okay, Auntie, I'll be there soon."

Zhao Liying is very happy. She feels that this summer is her lucky day, and good things happen one after another.

About an hour later, Zhao Liying came to Yunhua Mansion with the gifts she bought. When parking the car, Wang Yunping greeted him and couldn't help complaining when she saw him buying things.

"You kid, how many times have you come home and you still buy things?"

Xiao Zhao smiled sweetly: "Grandma, come here. We, as juniors, have to express our gratitude."

"This child."

Wang Yunping said she was disgusted, but she was very happy in her heart. She called a few children from the house to help get things, and pulled Zhao Liying into the hall.

There were quite a few people in the room, and a white-haired old lady with a slight hunchback sat on the sofa in the middle.

"Mom, this is the beauty I told you."

Zhao Liying also squatted down, holding the old lady's hand, with a sweet and obedient smile on her face.

"Grandma, do you still remember me?"

This is not the first time that Zhao Liying has met Grandma Wei Yang. Earlier, Wei Yang was worried about the health of his family members and could not get away, so he entrusted Zhao Liying to go home and take his family for a checkup, including his eldest grandma and grandpa at the time. .

That was also the first time Zhao Liying made an official appearance to some of her relatives in Weiyang.

It's just that Zhao Liying was not well-known at that time, and Wei Yang was just starting to gain power, so he was afraid of spreading news, so except for a few relatives, Xiao Zhao claimed to be Wei Yang's friend, which did not arouse the attention of most people at that time. focus on.

Nowadays, Zhao Liying has been reborn, is very popular, and has been reintroduced by Wang Yunping. Many people have realized who the round-faced girl was back then.

The old lady is now octogenarian.

This is not surprising. Wang Yunping is already over 40 years old, and she has two older sisters. Sometimes people get married early in rural areas. Wei Yang already has two people in his generation who are over [-], and his eldest nephew is already married. junior high school.

Due to her old age, multiple births, and suffering for most of her life, the old lady's health was not particularly good.

The hunchbacked person can no longer lift his waist. He is deaf, blind and slow to react, but fortunately it is not serious. He can still communicate with people normally and has a certain ability to take care of himself. I heard that he can use a cane to go to the fields every now and then to take a look.

She didn't hear clearly what Zhao Liying said at first. Wang Yunping shouted a few more reminders before the old lady reacted and smiled.

"So good, grandma remembers you, you are Yangyang's daughter-in-law."

The smile on Zhao Liying's face became brighter and brighter. Liu Shishi's place was full of chicken feathers, but the whole family was happy here.

How can she fight with me? !

Zhao Liying said a few words to the old lady, and then Wang Yunping introduced the person next to her.

This time, while going back to her hometown to attend the funeral, Wang Yunping finally persuaded the old lady to come to Shanghai to stay for a while, and even brought a few free relatives to visit her.

"This is aunt, and this is cousin Jiaojiao."

"This is your aunt, and this is your aunt's cousin's wife. You can call her sister-in-law."

"This is your second aunt."

"..."

Not many people came, but not many, including a few elders and peers, and a large group of younger children. After all, it was summer vacation. My aunt/aunt was treating me to a treat, and many relatives and children came to play with me.

When many relatives saw Zhao Liying, they were quite enthusiastic, especially the young ones. Seeing that the rare big star turned out to be a younger brother/sister-in-law/aunt/aunt, they wanted to take a photo with her immediately and go back to make people laugh all over the world.

What’s even more interesting is that there are two of them who are fans of Xiao Zhao.

Especially my aunt's sister-in-law, who showed Zhao Liying her Tieba level and self-certified QQ group identity, and is considered a half-die fan.

Therefore, Zhao Liying also suspected that these children not only have their own fans, but also probably have fans of others, but the contact is still short and it is not possible to tell for the time being.

And except for a few die-hard fans, most of the fans follow the trend, and the online scoldings are lively. When they see the other big stars in real life, they still ask for a photo first.

Although Zhao Liying is a junior, given her status, she will not lower herself to please these relatives.

Except for giving more support to the old lady, Zhao Liying treated her normally, respecting her elders, being friendly to her peers, and being kind to her juniors.

With her rank, gifts and small benefits, she won a lot of praise without much effort.

When Wei Yang came back from get off work in the evening, Zhao Liying had become the favorite of the group. Several elders favored her. Juniors and juniors surrounded her, and there were people saying good things to her wherever she went.

Wei Yang gave him a thumbs up. He was relieved to have her here to help.

He knows his mother's character. Sometimes she likes to show off and has no bad intentions, but she may inadvertently offend others. With Xiao Zhao helping to take care of things, unpleasant situations won't happen.

Although Wei Yang doesn't care about this, since they are relatives, they are relatively close and it is best to live in harmony.

After a brief chat, Wei Yang went to see the old lady.

Wei Yang grew up with his grandparents, and his aunt was very kind to him, so he was relatively close to his father's relatives.

But it doesn't mean that we are no longer close to relatives on the mother's side, especially grandma and grandpa. They still loved him very much when they were young. It's just that there are too many younger generations in Lao Wang's family, so they don't show much. It's not as obvious as Miao Miao in Lao Wei's family.

But no matter what, grandpa and grandma are Wei Yang's only close ancestors alive.

Wei Yang still misses her very much. He visits her in person every time he goes back, and makes video calls to greet her every once in a while.

Wei Yang also wanted to invite two old people over this time, but his grandfather was too stubborn and worried that no one would take care of the chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs at home. In addition, he was severely motion sick and did not dare to go far. In the end, only the old lady came.

"Grandma, do you miss me?"

The old lady was very happy to see Wei Yang. Since their eldest grandson became successful, the life of the old couple has been getting better and better, and Wei Yang's importance in their hearts has also become heavier and heavier.

"I thought about it, and I came to see you with your mother."

Wei Yang chatted with the old lady for a while. Although the process was a bit laborious, the old lady's logic was quite clear and she started urging the marriage after a while.

"Your mother said she wanted to have grandchildren, why don't you get married? You're not young anymore."

Wei Yang knew that he couldn't avoid this when chatting with the old man, so he didn't care and dealt with it with a smile. Unexpectedly, the old lady didn't buy it. She glanced outside and greeted her grandson in a low voice.

"That kid just now is pretty good. Just take it easy, live a good life, and don't fool around with someone else. If you get caught by the government again, you'll be killed as a gangster."

Wei Yang: "..."

How come my reputation in my hometown has reached this point...
