Chapter 1012 Male Video Article

Well, they're old friends after all...

Yan Ge is very considerate of his friends!
Oh, he doesn't have any feelings for Yao...

Well... Yao is a beautiful girl, but she's not quite the type he likes...

She adopts a natural and pure image, and whether in dramas or in real life, her hairstyles and clothing are relatively simple, and her makeup is often so light that it is almost imperceptible.

Shen Yan prefers something more glamorous and sexy…

In fact, in the original timeline, Qiong Tang did indeed delay Chen Yao's progress!
On the one hand, the company's main resources are not being allocated to her;

On the other hand, even if roles come knocking on her door, they are often passed on to other actresses that the company is heavily promoting.

Given this situation, the impact on her career will certainly be significant.

Actually, starting in 2018, she gradually gained momentum, starring in one drama after another, including some broadcast on satellite TV. Platforms also began to give her dramas, such as iQiyi's "The Twin Flower Legend" and "Youth Genesis". The production teams were decent, and the male actors she co-starred with were also good.

There's also the popular variety show "The Sound"—she's a broadcasting and hosting major, so she's perfect for this show—and another Zhejiang TV variety show for actors.

Then, Qiong Tang turned down all those dramas and variety shows on all those platforms in order to make a movie.

This movie is a scam. You can easily find out by searching on Baidu. The director's name is Gu Xunchao!

I was actually scammed...

Tangren is a company in the industry!

Tangren Media has pulled off a series of questionable moves, but most importantly, their self-produced dramas are no longer up to par…

But she has always been well-liked by the general public…

Shen Yan suddenly thought of Yue Qiluo, then of Zhang Xianzong. Since New Classics Media was making "Joy of Life," he suggested, "Director Sun Hao is making 'Joy of Life,' why don't you get a role in it..."

"Joy of Life?"

"Yes... in male-oriented IPs, the female lead has almost no presence... You should try Haitang Duoduo..."

"The female lead has almost no presence? Why?"

Shen Yan chuckled: "The female protagonists in male-oriented novels, especially the matriarch type, have very consistent character settings: noble birth, lively and cute, gentle and charming, understanding... But she can't be too noble lest she make men feel inferior, so she is an illegitimate child; she can't be too difficult to control, so she is frail and sickly; she can't be too open, she must be chaste, so she rarely leaves the house..."

In other words, she must be both Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai at the same time…

Her entire character seems a bit unrealistic. Oh, and she has huge breasts! The male lead really likes to touch them!

Chen Yao was speechless...

"In 'Joy of Life,' the real female lead should be the male lead's mother!"

Ye Qingmei!

It's a pity it was chopped into mincemeat—your gentle smile is like plum jam!
Plum sauce with Boyi roasted pork!
In the novel, Emperor Qing was wary of Ye Qingmei's ideas of rebelling against imperial power, the Empress Dowager disliked Ye Qingmei's unruliness, and the Empress feared Ye Qingmei's status in the eyes of the world and Emperor Qing. All of them wanted her dead.

Emperor Qing deliberately went on a campaign, and at the same time sent Chen Pingping and Fan Jian away, leaving the villa undefended. The Empress's maternal family and some royal forces besieged the villa together. Before leaving, Fan Jian sent his pregnant wife to visit Ye Qingmei, who was about to give birth, at the villa. She was also trapped inside the villa. Fan's wife and Ye Qingmei gave birth at the same time. Fan's wife exchanged her child for Fan Xian. The Empress's maternal family stormed into the villa, killed Fan's wife's child, and also killed Ye. The Empress's family was worried that Ye was a person from the temple and could be resurrected, so they chopped Ye Qingmei into pieces.

Wu Zhu arrived and fought with the group to rescue the child. Madam Fan was rescued by the Fan family. Fan Jian and Chen Pingping rushed back upon hearing the news. Chen Pingping eliminated the Empress's maternal family's influence in the court, while Fan Jian went to kill the Empress's maternal family, wiping out the entire clan. Finally, he captured the Empress's father, dragged him before her, and beheaded him, which terrified the Empress. After regaining her senses, she remained insane. The Empress Dowager was also frightened…

"You seem to really like the original story?"

"Hmm, a pretty good novel..."

Mao Ni is truly a master!
In "Ever Night," Ning Que, the son of a gatekeeper, actually killed the general, which gave me goosebumps!

Mao Ni said more than once after each chapter: This is a grassroots underdog story, but it's not an underdog story at all. Ning Que's journey has been filled with more than just a little bit of suffering.

Before "Ever Night," Mao Ni's characters were all very attractive and distinctive. The first half of "Fighter of the Destiny" was also good. I still remember the scene where Chen Changsheng carried the Holy Empress down the stairs and brushed past his master almost eight or nine years ago... It's a pity that it had a bad ending!

"You seem to have also written a male-oriented novel called 'A World Worthy of Honor'... The female protagonist is Gu Xiaosang?"

"The female lead in 'A World Worthy of Honor' is somewhat similar to Xu Ziling's two girlfriends."

One is Shi Feixuan, a righteous girlfriend with a Platonic love; the other is Wanwan, a princess of the demonic path.
In the world of "A World Worthy of Honor", the protagonist clearly prefers Jiang Zhiwei in the early and middle stages, but Jiang Zhiwei only loves swords.

So the female lead became Gu Xiaosang, but the character of Gu was written somewhat symbolically and unnaturally.

"Still not natural?"

"It's too long, so some oversights were inevitable while writing it..."

Chen Yao suddenly remembered something: "I read 'Snowy Landscape'..."

"and then?"

Why does the male protagonist have so many female confidantes?

"It's a male-oriented novel!"

In "Joy of Life," Fan Xian goes to Jiangnan and makes vows of eternal love to Lin Wan'er, but then he pins Haitang Duoduo down in bed, determined to make sure she can never get married...

Including that relationship with the emperor of Northern Qi…

Fan Xian and Zhan Doudou, those two shameless bastards, were shamelessly messing around with a disabled Grandmaster who was about to die...

Si Gu Jian: I can't even have a moment of peace even though I'm about to die!
In "The Great Feng Night Watchman," on his wedding night with the little princess, Xu Qi'an first slept with a female fox before entering the house to consummate his marriage with his bride...

That's why it's called a male-oriented wish-fulfillment novel!
However, in stories like "The Piano," the male protagonist ultimately defeats the boss...

That's quite rare!

Chen Yao thought for a moment, then asked in return, "So, all men have the idea of ​​having two women on each side?"

Shen Yan glanced at her, then declared righteously, "I don't know about others, but I really want to have Newton on my left and Einstein on my right..."

Chen Yao glanced at him…

No words!

"I'm honestly saying that it's far more satisfying to advance humanity than to satisfy personal desires!"

"...Okay, I believe you!"

……

Shen Yan had also considered this idea before in "Joy of Life"...

However, he simply doesn't have the time to play a role for several seasons...

On the other hand, he didn't quite like Fan Xian's values ​​of 'everyone is equal above me, but there is a strict hierarchy below me'...

As for the version directed by Sun Hao and written by Wang Juan…

It feels like they wanted to change Fan Xian's character to be a great and righteous person, but the plot couldn't be modified, which led to many contradictions!
In contrast, older action dramas often featured protagonists falling off cliffs, finding secret manuals, mastering powerful skills, gradually achieving mastery, and finally avenging their enemies and living a carefree life in the martial arts world.

No matter how enjoyable it is, you have to suffer first, practice hard, and finally attain enlightenment!
In "Joy of Life," you're given a max-level setup right from the start: you're given several powerful allies right from the beginning, and even picking up secret manuals is unnecessary...

However, it got even worse as time went on, and they directly took over the system!

He didn't even need a father; he rose to the top in one fell swoop!
