Wei Yang drove Xiao Zhao to a more private western restaurant in Yangpu and enjoyed a candlelight dinner.

It has to be said that the romantic and exquisite atmosphere of a high-end Western restaurant is indeed very suitable for dates between men and women, allowing Xiao Zhao and Wei Yang to find a different sense of freshness.

After finishing his meal, Wei Yang, who did not drink, drove back to Baoshan.

However, what puzzled Xiao Zhao was that the two did not return to the house rented by Wei Yang, but came to another community called [Boyue City].

"Where is this?"

"You'll find out if you follow me up."

Wei Yang parked the car, took the bewildered Xiao Zhao upstairs, took the elevator to the sixth floor, and opened the door of the east apartment.

Xiao Zhao followed Wei Yang into the house and walked around each room. There were three bedrooms and two living rooms, and the floor area was expected to be more than 110 square meters, which was larger than the house Wei Yang had rented before.

Moreover, the house is very new. You can see that although it is finely decorated, no one has ever lived in it.

"Is this rented for me?"

Xiao Zhao frowned unconsciously: "Wouldn't it be nice for the two of us to live in the original house?"

The two were boyfriend and girlfriend, they had done everything they should have done, and they had lived together before. Now they were suddenly living separately, and Xiao Zhao couldn't help but think too much.

"It was just a place to live, this is home."

But Wei Yang was prepared, so he asked Xiao Zhao to open the drawer of the coffee table, where a brand new house deed was placed.

When Xiao Zhao saw the property title, he had some guesses. When he opened it, he saw that it contained the information of this house, with two names written in the column of property owner.

Wei Yang, Zhao Liying!

Xiao Zhao was confused. Before, Wei Yang asked her for her ID card, household registration booklet and other documents under the pretext of joining the company. She wondered why it was so troublesome, but it turned out that the surprise was here.

"But... this... I can't have it."

Xiao Zhao suddenly didn't know how to start. He was mostly happy and touched, but also a little bit at a loss.

Half a house worth several million, this gift is too heavy. After all, they are just boyfriend and girlfriend, she dare not and is embarrassed to ask for it!

Wei Yang was very straightforward. He threw the property deed back into the drawer and slumped down on the sofa.

"You didn't buy it in full, and you'll have to pay off the mortgage later, so why can't you take it?"

Ever since Xiao Zhao's sudden attack last time, Wei Yang has been determined to hide in three burrows.

Originally he was thinking of renting a house first, but later when the income from ringtones came in and he took on two commercial performances, he had some money saved up. He gritted his teeth, borrowed some money, and made up the down payment to buy the house.

This house is located in Baoshan. It is a newly developed property in recent years and is considered to be of relatively high quality.

The house price is naturally high, with an average price of 24,000 per square meter, which is comparable to the housing prices in the inner ring. The building area is 133 square meters. After some bargaining, I finally got it for a total price of just over 3 million, and it also comes with a parking space.

Buying a house in Shanghai at this price, no matter what, will definitely not be a loss! Wei Yang did not plan to live here for a long time, he would transition for a while and then buy a better one, it didn't matter whether he sold this one or kept it.

The main thing is that after buying the house, Xiao Zhao will definitely not have any suspicions anymore.

In fact, Xiao Zhao is now also filled with happiness and joy.

Putting the mortgage and other things aside, the two of them jointly own a house. The significance of this is self-evident. Xiao Zhao leaned against Wei Yang, her eyes unable to help but well up with tears.

Wei Yang hugged Xiao Zhao and felt much more at ease. This cave was taken care of, and he still had to work hard for the next one.

No matter what you do, you have to treat everyone equally! Xiao Zhao bought a house, and Liu Shishi also had to arrange one. In addition, he had to arrange another one as his own private space, so that he could enjoy a short period of solitude, and in case of other situations, he would have a place to stay.

Thinking about this, Wei Yang felt that he still had a long way to go...

…

Ms. Wang Yunping has returned to her hometown, Xiao Zhao moved to the Boyuecheng community, and Wei Yang also lives here most of the time.

However, he secretly rented a house in Yangpu and notified Liu Shishi to move.

After arriving at the new company and moving to a new home, Xiao Zhao was full of energy and couldn't wait to make money and take on the responsibility of paying the mortgage.

She still had some ambition and didn't want to rely entirely on Wei Yang for support.

Since the latter paid the down payment, she thought about taking on more of the mortgage so that she would feel more confident living in this house.

However, she also knew that Blue Whale was a new company after all, and each person had his or her own position, so she was prepared for no announcements in the short term.

But Xiao Zhao still underestimated the current strength of Blue Whale. Although it cannot be compared with Huayi, with the outstanding performance of several consecutive works, Blue Whale has become a well-known name in the Shanghai circle.

There are many film and television companies in Shanghai, and they often share resources.

With Blue Whale in charge, some companies will give it some face. It may be difficult to get important roles, but it is still possible to get a few notices for supporting roles.

So, within less than a week after Xiao Zhao joined Blue Whale, he got a resource——

"Living Buddha Jigong" was written and produced by the famous Lei Opera Godfather Jian Yuanxin.

This person and the company behind him are now developing in Shanghai, and both Lao Xia and Lei Chun have dealt with him.

Boss Wei personally called this senior, who was very willing to help, and Xiao Zhao won the role of the female lead in a unit.

Wei Yang also returned the favor. In his new drama "First Time in My Life", which he was collaborating with Tangren, the crew had two male supporting roles with decent parts, but Blue Whale didn't need them, so he just managed to get them over to repay the favor.

"This is My First Life" is also a Korean drama copied by Wei Yang. The original time and space was broadcast in 2017 and the ratings were quite good.

The production cost of this drama is not high, and it basically consists of a few scenes, in which the hero and heroine get married first and then fall in love.

The heroine is an unsuccessful screenwriter of ordinary family, who only wants to settle down in the big city. The hero is a white-collar worker with a decent income. He bought a house with a loan, and in order to offset the mortgage, he rents out a room to the heroine.

The two met as landlord and tenant and were bickering for a while. However, because the hero and heroine were being urged to get married, they arranged a fake marriage to deal with their parents.

However, after getting married, the two fell in love with each other and naturally became a newlywed couple.

This tactic of pretending to be a couple and developing feelings for each other has been filmed in domestic dramas, and the ratings are not bad, but this kind of marriage first and love later is more radical.

It’s hard to say what the upper limit is for this kind of drama, but as long as the details of the emotional line are well done, the lower limit will definitely not be low.

The most important thing is that it has low cost and is easy to promote. It is definitely the most suitable joint trial work for Blue Whale and Tangren.

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

However, apart from the heroine, the most eye-catching characters in this drama are her mother, mother-in-law and a domineering ex-girlfriend. Xiao Zhao does not meet any of the requirements, otherwise she would not be allowed to take on other roles.

Xiao Zhao must be promoted, but there should be no rush. Only after Blue Whale is on the right track will it be her time to come to the fore.

…

Xiao Zhao went to Hengdian to film a movie, and Liu Shishi also stayed in Hengdian. Wei Yang didn't know whether the two of them could meet.

However, he has no time to deal with this matter. It has been roughly confirmed that "My Love from the Star" will be premiered on satellite TV in December, and he has been busy supervising various copyright negotiations during this period.

It’s actually difficult to discuss copyright. After all, the TV series hasn’t been aired yet, so we can only roughly guess whether it’s popular or not.

If the price is too high, the platform will not buy it.

If you bid too low, you will feel at a loss later.

But if it is not negotiated in advance and piracy is rampant, the platform may choose not to buy it, or wait until the craze has passed before making a move. This is not without precedent.

People pay high prices because they think they can make a profit! Your TV series is so popular that all kinds of piracy cannot be stopped. People only make a small profit by buying it at a high price, or even risk losing money, so they have to think twice.

So Wei Yang’s meaning is to talk about it first, and have a rough idea of ​​whether to sign or not, and then we can see the results of the first broadcast.

If it becomes popular, they will raise the price. If the ratings are average, they will choose to stop.

To some extent, it is a kind of invisible bet.

If the bet is won, "My Love from the Star" can maximize its profits; if the bet is lost, all will be lost.

There is still some controversy within Blue Whale about this matter. After all, in business, one should know when to quit and leave when there is profit, so as to avoid ruining the business.

Although Wei Yang can go against the majority's opinion, his subordinates can control it, and the shareholders of the crew still need to be considered.

So in the end, Wei Yang just held on to the online broadcasting rights and negotiated other copyrights normally, and the results were quite good.

The film's in-film advertising alone is expected to bring in millions, and the DVD copyright is also considered to be a top-tier price in the industry. Add in other miscellaneous income, and "My Love from the Star" can make at least another 10 million.

Wei Yang did the math himself and found that after deducting taxes and various commissions, the amount of money that ended up in his pocket was huge.

His own private space, a "cave", has a lot more budget, maybe he can even buy a house for his parents in his hometown...

In addition to being busy with company affairs, Wei Yang also took time out to go to Beijing to attend the premiere conference of "Criminal Police Storm".

This drama, which he wrote, was not premiered on Beijing Satellite TV, Jiangsu Satellite TV or local TV stations, but was directly broadcast on CCTV Channel 8, which was beyond his expectation.

Wei Yang is still very fresh. This is the first time that his work has been broadcast on CCTV, whether in this life or the previous life.

In his previous life, not many of his works were broadcast on TV. They were mainly online and had never been on CCTV, so this time he really set a new record in his career.

So after receiving the invitation from the drama crew, Wei Yang readily came to show his support and try out the new experience.

In addition, Wei Yang had another purpose for coming to Beijing this time. Sina Weibo was about to go online, and he needed to cooperate.

Wei Yang's "My Love from the Star" took money from Sina Weibo, but it was not just a product placement, there will be a series of subsequent collaborations.

This cooperation can bring exposure to Sina Weibo, and can also promote Wei Yang and "My Love from the Star".

In late August 2009, Sina Weibo was officially launched.

Wei Yang, Fan Xiaopang, Tang Yan, Qiao Zhenyu and other main creators of "My Love from the Star" also became among the first batch of artists to move in.

With Sina's various publicity efforts, Sina Weibo initially gained some popularity, and the number of celebrity fans who joined and were certified increased rapidly.

With the popularity of works such as "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Chinese Paladin 3", Wei Yang is one of the stars with the fastest spontaneous growth in fans.

Now, in cooperation with Sina and with official recommendation, the number of fans exceeded 100,000 within 24 hours, topping the Weibo follower list.
