Chapter 681 Don’t Talk Logic with Idol Dramas
Go to Station A, search for "Hotel Del Luna", and click to play the first episode.

After finishing these things, Wei Lingxue slowly started to eat with her chopsticks.

The opening of the first episode tells a story in ancient times. Zhang Manyue, played by Da Tiantian, escorts a hearse to the wilderness and is chased by soldiers.

After some twists and turns, Zhang Manyue was bound to an inn that entertained ghosts because of too many killings and serious sins, and became the owner of the inn.

There are so many people who have committed serious murders and cruelty, why is it that only Zhang Manyue can become immortal and become the owner of an inn?

There is no need to delve into this matter.

Because this is an idol drama, the main plot of idol dramas is handsome men and beautiful women, falling in love, and redeeming each other.

Idol dramas only need to have a set of logic that can justify themselves, and no one will delve into small bugs.

As long as it’s not a bug that’s particularly annoying or distracting from the show, it’s fine.

If we were to find faults with logic in idol dramas, there wouldn't be many idol dramas worth watching.

Is "My Love from the Star" a high-quality idol drama? If you look deeper, there are still some logical loopholes.

For example, in the plot, Professor Qiao is a person who is completely out of touch with society in his daily life.

It's unreasonable that he still uses a pager even though we have entered the mobile phone era for so many years.

He used to be a doctor about ten years ago, and it was when he was a doctor that he saved little Wan Qianqian in front of a truck.

So the problem is, he only has a pager, no telephone or mobile phone at home.

He was sleeping at home in the middle of the night, and there was an emergency in the hospital that involved a life-threatening situation. What should he do if he had to be called back for surgery?
He has to get up in the middle of the night, then go downstairs to find a phone to call back?
All of this is just to serve the love story that will be changed for the heroine later.

So when watching idol dramas, don’t try to figure out whether certain settings are reasonable, as many settings are there to serve the plot.

The same thing applies to the music industry. The lyrics of many songs are a bit confusing, they are just for the sake of rhyme.

Therefore, Wei Lingxue did not conduct in-depth research on whether the setting of "Hotel Del Luna" is reasonable.

He only knew that the director of this movie was quite good at filming and the artistic level was very high.

The characters, costumes, and scenes in the costume dramas are all excellent, and they are pleasing to the eye just by looking at them.

The desert, the chase, and Zhang Manyue played by Da Tiantian are all beautiful in the picture.

This is Li Muge’s comfort zone. His greatest advantage is taking photos of beauties and scenery.

Wei Lingxue patted her boyfriend who was eating and said, "I told you I wasn't lying. The director this time is very talented. Look how beautiful the scene is. It's like a work of art."

The boyfriend looked up and found that it was just as his girlfriend said. The pictures of this TV series were amazing, very beautiful and stunning.

Zhang Manyue, played by Da Tiantian, is so beautiful that there is no room for impeccable criticism.

But he still sticks to his previous opinion.

Last time, Liu Yifei was also very handsome and the pictures he took were also very nice. What was the result?
It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that one bad apple spoils the whole barrel.

To be fair, the screenwriter of the movie "Eternal Love" is pretty lame.

The blame for the movie’s failure cannot be put entirely on Yang Yang.

But it is definitely not unfair for Yangyang to bear 20% or 30% of the blame.

So no matter how good the pictures are, or how capable the director is, it will only make him feel more regretful. Since other aspects are so good, why can't the leading male role be better?

There are many capable actors in the entertainment industry, so why did they choose someone who only has a good look but no acting skills? This puzzled him.

He sighed in his heart and did not make any verbal comments on the TV series "Hotel Del Luna".

After a while, when the plot switched from ancient times to modern times, he was a little confused: "What's going on? Did you change the show again? It was still ancient times just now, how come it suddenly became modern times?"

"This is the characteristic of idol drama scripts written by Director Li. Both 'Goblin' and 'My Love from the Star' are like this." Wei Lingxue glanced at her boyfriend as if he were a bumpkin.

After that, there were more and more things that amazed him.

Especially the heroine Zhang Manyue, she has to change her clothes every time the scene changes, and her aesthetic taste is very high, and every piece of clothing looks very beautiful.

He even suspected that this was not a TV drama at all, but Zhang Man Yue's wardrobe, Zhang Man Yue's cross-dressing show.

He was also attracted by Zhang Manyue's interesting personality. She seemed cold on the surface, but she had a deep kindness in her heart.

In the eyes of many people, she has beauty, powerful superpowers, and a very bad temper.

In fact, her inner heart and appearance are completely different. From the audience's perspective, we can see that she actually cares about the people around her, but she pretends to be indifferent on the surface.

Also, she behaves like a child quite a few times, a bit like a silly goddess. The contrast is very strong and quite funny.

This character is similar to Si Teng in many ways. The sweet Si Teng is very likable, and so is Zhang Manyue.

So my boyfriend, who always sneered at idol dramas, couldn't help but say: "This female lead is good, she is both aloof and silly. How does she manage to switch back and forth between being cold and childish?"

When the adult male protagonist, Yang Xingcai played by Yang Yang, came on stage, he couldn't help but say, "Fuck, did I really misunderstand him? He's not so greasy anymore, and he doesn't pretend to be cool anymore."

Although he didn't finish watching the movie Eternal Love, the clips of those famous scenes still allowed him to cook without adding oil for the next few days.

In this "Hotel Del Luna", Yang Yang obviously doesn't have that greasy feeling. His acting skills can't be said to be explosive, but at least he can give people a comfortable and natural feeling.

"Have you heard of the old saying that one should look at a man with new eyes after three days of absence? I've told you that Eternal Love is old news, and Hotel Del Luna is the only one that represents Yang Yang's current strength.

The producer named Li Yu really scolded him on the set, but he had a very good attitude and immediately found an acting teacher to cram for him. "

As a die-hard fan, Wei Lingxue knows all about these things.

This time my boyfriend believed it. Seeing is believing, so it’s not his turn to disbelieve it.

The point that was hard for him to swallow - the greasy acting of the male lead, this problem has been solved.

He found that the show was actually worth watching.

This is an idol drama, an idol drama, isn't this something that only girls watch? How can a tough guy like him watch this? Is this something he can watch?

He originally wanted to quit, but Zhang Manyue, played by Da Tiantian, was so pleasing to the eye that he was deeply attracted by every scene transition and every costume change.

He could only deceive himself in this way, thinking that he was not watching an idol drama, but a dress-up show of beautiful women.

Experts say that if you look at beautiful women every day to make yourself happy, you can live longer.

Yes, that's right, that's it.
