Chapter 100 Big stars also drive Jetta, frugal and good men



"Are you Wei Yang?"

Wei Yang took off his mask and hat, looking a little depressed: "Can you recognize me like this?"

"Ahhh, it really is you."

Two fans screamed with joy, and an older girl explained: "We recognize your car. A big star drives a Jetta, and it's the only one in Shanghai."

Wei Yang: “…”

Once a person becomes famous, anything can be dug up.

The car of the new and popular star in the entertainment industry is not a Mercedes-Benz, BMW or some nanny business car, but a second-hand, broken Jetta. Naturally, this contrast will not be missed by reporters.

Thanks to Wei Yang, this little Jetta received a lot of attention that even million-dollar luxury cars didn't get, and was reported by many media outlets.

Many people find it funny that famous stars also drive Jetta, and think that Wei Yang has not forgotten his original aspiration and is frugal and simple.

Many people also think that Wei Yang is simply stingy and is unwilling to change his car, and some even suspect that he is just doing it for publicity.

Wei Yang felt very wronged. It was not that he didn't want to change the car, but all his assets were tied up in the company.

The crew of "My Love from the Star" still has 10 or 20 million yuan, but that is a public account and he cannot spend it at will.

Now "My Love from the Star" has not been sold yet, and Wei Yang is busy filming and has no time to make money for the time being. It is obvious that Zhao Ji alone cannot support the entire Blue Whale.

At present, Blue Whale is still in a situation where its income is not enough to cover its expenses. The funds on the company's books have to cover expenses such as wages, utilities, etc. and cannot be used easily.

So don’t be fooled by Wei Yang’s seemingly prosperous appearance. In fact, he has less than six figures in cash. Instead of using this money to buy a car, he might as well drive his little Jetta.

Then again, Wei Yang actually doesn't drive this Jetta very often. Sometimes he has to rent a good car for business banquets with Blue Whale. The crew of "My Love from the Star" also has a company bus, and no one cares if Wei Yang, the producer, uses it when he's on business trips from time to time.

So he only drives this Jetta occasionally for personal transportation, and usually uses it to run errands for Wei Fei.

As a result, these media outlets took his words out of context and reported various photos of him driving a Jetta on the few occasions he did so, making the outside world really believe that he drove a Jetta every day.

Wei Yang even suspected that FAW-Volkswagen had hired some internet trolls to call and ask for the endorsement fee.

What made him even more speechless was that someone dug up the old news about Wei Yang sending Liu Shishi home, and found that the car he drove that night was also this broken little Jetta. He couldn't help but sigh.

Wei Yang is really good at this. Liu Shishi is happy to ride in this shabby car...

But no matter what, this Jetta has been quite popular recently.

Even though some media covered up the license plate, it was still leaked. In addition, the color and model are consistent, so anyone with a keen eye can easily recognize it.

Today was a coincidence. Wei Yang had to leave his car at the airport for two days because he was on a business trip. He was afraid of delaying the work of the crew, so he drove his own little Jetta, but was caught by his own fans.

After signing autographs for the two fans in a friendly manner, Wei Yang carried his suitcase into the airport. The two followed him and started chatting.

"Where are you going this time?"

"I don't know if I can say, go to the south to record a show."

"Happy Camp?"

"Uh...how did you know?"

"Twinkle Twinkle Star is being broadcast in Hunan Province and it's so popular. There's been rumors on Tieba that it will definitely be on Happy Camp."

During this period of time in 2009, "Happy Camp" was definitely the ace among domestic variety shows, and its influence was almost unmatched.

Therefore, there is a rule in the industry and among fan groups that a sign that a star has become popular is being invited to "Happy Camp".

This is a typical show where whoever is popular gets to play with them. Except for the artists from Hunan Tianyu Entertainment who may be given some special treatment, other artists' participation will depend entirely on their popularity or whether they have any works broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV.

"Twinkle Twinkle Star" has a long-lasting viewership, Wei Yang and Liu Shishi are very popular, and it is also being broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV.

With their buffs fully stacked, anyone who knows the industry can guess that they will be on "Happy Camp".

Wei Yang really didn't realize that the fans were so knowledgeable that they could guess the truth from just a few details. He could only express his opinion.

"Then I hope you will tune in on time and support the ratings."

"No problem, this is your first time on Happy Camp, I'll watch all the reruns."

“I asked my whole family, young and old, to watch it together.”

Although "Happy Camp" was criticized for numerous issues later and was even suspended, it still has a huge influence among young people and teenagers in China and has a large number of fans.

Most fans, especially fans of young artists, are proud that their idols can appear on this show, and even compete with each other to see who has appeared more often.

It was noon and Wei Yang was a little hungry, so he simply treated the two fans to lunch at the airport.

During the visit, he was recognized by two people. One of them was a young woman who insisted on giving Wei Yang a box of flower cakes that she brought back from her trip to Yunnan Province. Later, Wei Yang realized that the point was not the flower cakes, but a small note in the box with a phone number and address.

Although the young woman was not bad looking, Wei Yang was a man of principles.

Don't sleep with your fans! It's immoral and unsafe. There are many scumbags in the entertainment industry who have fallen out, but most of the women who were beaten to death were outsiders. It's a bloody lesson...

About an hour later, Wei Yang waved goodbye to a few fans and boarded a plane to Star City.

While he was still in heaven, some fans couldn't wait to share their experiences in the [Wei Yang Bar], with photos as evidence, which immediately attracted countless envy.

[It’s so funny, Wei Yang really drives that Jetta everywhere]

The original poster replied: [We didn’t recognize him at first, but we were sure when we saw him getting out of the car wearing sunglasses and a hat. He himself was very depressed and complained to us about the paparazzi]

[Haha, I'm in Shanghai too, and now I've developed a habit of looking for Jettas on the road to see if I can catch one and ask for an autograph or something]

[It's more exciting to rear-end, which will definitely make Wei Yang impressed by you]

[I didn’t expect Wei Yang to be so kind, chatting with fans all the time and even treating them to a meal]

The original poster replied: [He really has a good personality, he doesn’t put on airs, it’s very pleasant to chat with him. When my classmates and I went to the toilet, he naturally waited at the door to show us his bag.]

[It’s a vivid picture, a star shows his bag to his fans, it makes me laugh to death]

Doesn’t he have an assistant?

The original poster replied: [Yes, but he didn’t bring it with him, and joked that it was to save money on air tickets and accommodation]

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

[Frugal and thrifty, worthy of being a man who drives a Jetta]

[It should be that he is used to it and hasn’t adjusted to being popular yet. There are too many people coming back to block him, and he has no choice but to take him away.]

[OP, OP, I’m really curious, are he and Liu Shishi really together? I’m almost dying of [Wanxing]]

The original poster replied: [We asked, but he didn’t give a direct answer, just smiled and said nothing]

[If there is no denial, that means it is an admission. I don’t care. Zhang Wansen and Lin Beixing are together.]

[I like them both very much, but [Wanxing] feels a bit tacky. Is there a CP name that matches their real names?]

【Only Wei's orders are obeyed】

[It has a bit of a subordinate tone, which is not good]

【Looking up to (Yang) and composing a poem (Shi)】

[Not sweet, no feeling]

【Central (Yang) sees (Shi)? 】

【grass……】

Wei Yang had no idea how the fans on his forum were researching the name of his and Liu Shishi's CP combination. After arriving in Xingcheng, he met up with Yuan Hong, Qi Wei and Xue Zhiqian who had arrived first.

This time, I participated in "Happy Camp" under the name of the "Twinkle Twinkle Star" crew.

Wei Yang and Liu Shishi are the male and female protagonists, plus Yuan and Qi are the second male and second female protagonists. Finally, although Xue Zhiqian has never played a role, he is the singer of the theme song "11".

"Twinkle Twinkle Star" is a hit, and not only the characters and actors are popular, but the theme song is also very popular.

There is no need to say much about "Light Chasers", it is a phenomenal song at the moment.

Although the male version sung by Wei Yang did not have as much of a preconceived influence as the female version sung by Zhao Ji, it was also quite popular.

And just as he had considered before, the two versions, one male and one female, both tell stories of secret love and are written by the same screenwriter, so they naturally form a connection.

With the help of Blue Whale, the secret love ceiling became common to both men and women, which also brought Wei and Zhao a wave of exposure and popularity.

It is even said that there is a small group of people who support the CP of Wei Yang and Zhao Ji...

However, although "Light Chasers" is popular, it is not a new song after all, so the other theme song "11" is the biggest surprise that "Twinkle Twinkle Star" gives to the audience.

This song has been quite popular since the TV series first aired. Although it is not as popular as the crazy momentum of "Light Chasers", its popularity has also soared.

By the time "Twinkle Twinkle Star" was on the air, the song "11" had become one of the most popular songs at the time.

The most noteworthy thing is that the ringtone data of this song is extremely good, and the cumulative download volume is currently over 5 million times.

Especially since April, it has been ranked in the top ten in downloads for almost two consecutive weeks, and even ranked in the top three in one week.

Even if the revenue from ringback tone is shared by the mobile operator, SP, operator, record/copyright holder and others, Wei Yang roughly estimates that he will get hundreds of thousands in the end.

And as the number of ringtone downloads continues to increase, the money will continue to flow into his hands.

To be honest, there was a moment when Wei Yang really thought about changing his career to become a professional song copyist. In this era when ringtones are popular, the return rate is too high.

As the composer and copyright holder, Wei Yang can participate in the profit sharing, but although Xue Zhiqian is the singer, he does not get a penny.

But he is already very satisfied. The popularity of "11" has given him another representative work.

After the popularity of "Serious Snow" gradually faded, it reached a new level. The fact that he squeezed out several other leading actors to participate in "Happy Camp" also shows that this guy is very popular.

This also made Xue Zhiqian particularly grateful to Wei Yang, and he arranged to treat him to a meal that night to express his gratitude...

I am not feeling well. I will update the next chapter in the evening      (end of this chapter)
