After finishing the filming, Da Mimi changed her clothes, put on a down jacket, and returned to the hotel feeling a little tired.
"Beauty's Secret" was brought forward for broadcast, and as the main creator, she naturally had to cooperate with the promotion, but the filming task of the crew was not easy either, and it took her a long time to get the leave.
After a round of promotion on major satellite TV stations, Da Mimi was exhausted and had no time to rest. In order to make up for the progress lost due to taking leave, the crew directly filled her schedule with announcements.
Da Mimi couldn't refuse. She had agreed to catch up on the progress when she asked for leave, and the crew was also following the rules.
There was no other way, Da Mimi could only grit her teeth and do it.
Although she is known for being a workaholic, she is not an iron man after all. The high-intensity work will inevitably make her physically and mentally exhausted.
After returning to the hotel, the assistant prepared a meal for her. Da Mimi, who had no appetite, waved her hand and lay down on the bed to rest for a while. Then she heard her cell phone ringing.
Da Mimi was so tired that she didn't even open her eyes. She just took out her phone and fumbled to answer it. Her voice was weak.
"Hello."
"Mi Mi, I'm about to wrap up filming and will be leaving in a few days. Let's have dinner together."
Liu Shishi's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, and Da Mimi perked up a little.
“So soon?”
"Not any time soon. We've been filming for two months. Besides, I'm not the female lead."
Liu Shishi is not like Da Mimi, who is addicted to work. She was extremely happy at the thought of leaving Hengdian and returning to Shanghai, where she could not only have a rest but also see Wei Yang.
"It's a pity that you don't have time, otherwise we can go back to the Magic City together and you can help me choose a house or something."
“Do you really want to buy a house?”
"Um."
Liu Shishi's voice was filled with happiness and sweetness: "Wei Yang said that it is better to buy early than late. Houses in Shanghai will become more and more valuable in the future. The sooner you buy, the more money you will make."
“How do we divide the money for buying a house?”
"Originally he wanted to pay the down payment and then repay the mortgage together, with both of our names on the house, but I felt it would be bad if we didn't pay, so he paid 1 million and I paid 500,000, and we paid the down payment together, and we could buy a bigger house."
Liu Shishi is not like Xiao Zhao. Wei Yang can find an excuse to use the company to trick her into giving him her identity documents. It’s not that he can’t get them, but that they will definitely be suspicious, so Wei Yang simply didn’t hide it.
When Liu Shishi heard that Wei Yang wanted to buy a house with her, she was very happy and looked forward to the appearance of their new home every day.
Wei Yang wanted to be fair and just pay for it, but Liu Shishi was unwilling.
Unlike Xiao Zhao, she has no fame and cannot make much money. However, her net worth skyrocketed this year after the hit TV series "Twinkle Twinkle Star".
Not to mention anything else, the salary offered to Liu Shishi for "Hello, Old Times" was 120,000 per episode.
Don't think it's too little. Currently, some first-line actors' pay is around 150,000 yuan. Although Liu Shishi is popular, she is still a little short of being a first-line actor.
Of course, "Hello, Old Times" is a mature IP, which brings great benefits to the actors. In this case, most actors will lower their prices appropriately.
Tangren was very satisfied with the remuneration. Cai Yinong thought that Wei Yang would persuade Liu Shishi to get a friendly price, and she was even prepared. However, Wei Yang didn't say a word and just charged according to the normal market environment.
Old Cai couldn't help but look up to Wei Yang.
Anything can happen between Wei Yang and Liu Shishi, but with a Tang person in between, the situation often becomes complicated.
If Wei Yang took advantage of the film remuneration, Liu Shishi might seem to be at a disadvantage, but as a family of two, the only one who actually suffered a loss was Tang Ren, so it is inevitable that they would have some other thoughts.
Wei Yang was very clear in his attitude. Public is public and private is private, and he calculated the accounts very clearly.
This left the Tang people speechless, and they even felt that they were judging others by their own standards.
In addition to this drama, "The Strange Hero Yizhimei" is also a role that Liu Shishi took after she became famous. Even though Tangren people habitually lowered the price internally, she still earned more than one million yuan because of her popularity, plus some endorsements and commercial activities.
Even if Tangren Company took most of it, the rest would allow Liu Shishi to save a little, giving her enough confidence to pay the down payment together with Wei Yang.
Da Mimi did some calculations and found that based on a down payment rate of 30% and a down payment of 1.5 million, the total price of the house would be almost over 5 million.
Pursing her lips, Da Mimi was a little dazed. She could afford the down payment for a house of this price if she gritted her teeth, but she would have to pay for the subsequent decoration, additions, mortgage, etc. by herself, which was very stressful.
Unlike Liu Shishi, someone paid the bulk of the down payment, and someone also shared the mortgage payment, and they even lived together.
Although I told myself over and over again in my heart that Liu Shishi was my best friend and I should bless her.
But listening to Liu Shishi muttering about whether to buy a house in Pudong New Area or Huangpu District, Da Mimi couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Da Mi Mi, who felt a little uncomfortable, suddenly had an idea and asked in a low voice: "Last time you said you asked for leave twice, how did you do it?"
"One time it was an event arranged by the company, and we invited them normally. Another time the director disagreed, so I found Wei Yang, and he helped me to talk to Lao Cai."
"Mr. Cai agrees?"
"Well, Wei Yang said that Old Cai was afraid that he would poach people, so he didn't dare to exploit them too much and turned a blind eye to many things."
Liu Shishi was very happy when she heard this. She was already highly regarded by the Tang people, not to mention that she now had Wei Yang as her backer.
The current Blue Whale is different from the past. Even though it is still a little behind Tangren in strength, it is no longer a small company and is well-known in the Shanghai film and television circles.
Coupled with the screenwriting and production capabilities that Wei Yang has already demonstrated, Cai Yinong and the top management of Tangren do not dare to underestimate him, and even plan to deepen cooperation.
"It's nice to have someone to protect you."
Da Mimi muttered something, thinking about her own miserable experience, and suddenly didn't want to continue chatting with Liu Shishi.
Isn’t the guy named Wei a scumbag? You’re the one who’s a scumbag!
Liu Shishi had no idea what Da Mimi was thinking. She chatted with Da Mimi for a while, made an appointment to have dinner, looked at the time, and hung up the phone in a hurry.
"You should take a rest first. Wei Yang's new drama premieres today. I have to go watch it."
Da Mimi threw her phone down, feeling exhausted and depressed. She was miserable enough, but her bestie was doing so well. It was doubly heartbreaking...
After lying down for a while, Da Mimi became more and more angry the more she thought about it and couldn't fall asleep. She got up and turned on the TV and tuned it to Hunan Satellite TV.
She wanted to see what the quality of "My Love from the Star" that Wei Yang had been working on for half a year was! …
Da Mimi turned on the TV at the perfect time, and after a commercial, the theme song of "My Love from the Star" played directly.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
The original theme song of "My Love from the Star" is called "My Destiny", which is translated into Chinese as "My Destiny".
This song is still very popular along with the hit TV series, especially since the chorus is in English, and it is very well accepted by domestic audiences.
When Wei Yang was filming the drama, he simply copied this song and changed the Korean lyrics into Chinese, making it a Chinese and English song.
Initially, this song was intended for Qi Wei to sing, but the song requires a certain level of singing ability and vocal range, Qi Ge couldn't sing it, and Huang Ling's voice was too soft, so Wei Yang later found Jane Zhang.
This girl's high notes are high enough, so she has no problem singing this song. It's just a little expensive, but that's no big deal for Wei Yang.
"You are my destiny, forever
(You are my destiny, forever)
You are my destiny, unchanged
(You are my destiny, unchanging)
You are my everything ( You are my everything)
I will call you silently like this ..."
A soaring female voice came from the TV. Da Mimi doesn’t know much about music, so she doesn’t know how to comment on this song, but she thinks it’s quite nice.
After the opening song, the plot finally got to the point. Da Mimi perked up and looked at the screen intently.
But what confused her was that, judging from the preview and the scenes that flashed in the opening credits, this was clearly an urban drama, but the very beginning of the TV series showed a few ancient sedan bearers carrying a sedan on a mountain road, and a timeline flashed in the lower corner -
The fourth year of Zhengde (1509)
"What dynasty was Zhengde?"
Da Mimi, who was not very interested in history, looked confused. Just as she was about to count on her fingers, she was awakened by the change in the plot.
In the sedan was a teenage girl who was forced to marry an old man in his fifties as a concubine. When she was feeling sad, a strong wind suddenly blew from above.
A silver spaceship was hovering above, and the ancient people in the play were shocked, and Da Mimi was also startled.
Then she realized that she had read some news before, and it seemed that "My Love from the Star" promoted that the male lead played by Wei Yang was an alien.
Sure enough, the male protagonist appeared and rescued the little girl who was blown off the cliff by the strong wind.
The male protagonist’s appearance in this scene is very handsome. At the critical moment, time and space suddenly stopped and the sedan chair stopped in mid-air.
Wei Yang was dressed in black, with a slender figure, handsome and elegant. He stretched out his hand and gently brushed away the fallen leaves in front of him. He walked calmly into the air step by step to the middle of the cliff and pulled the sedan chair back to the mountain road with one hand.
After the time stop was restored, the girl saw the appearance of the male protagonist, and also revealed to the audience that the male protagonist was an alien.
"Tsk tsk, quite a show-off."
Da Mimi curled her lips and commented on Wei Yang's cool appearance. Although she said she disliked it, she had to admit in her heart that Wei Yang's face was really resistant to being beaten.
Wei Yang has starred in several dramas before, including "The Best of Us" where he played a rebellious teenager, "Twinkle Twinkle Star" where he played a pure and affectionate teenager, and "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" where he played a domineering demon lord.
The most popular one is naturally Zhang Wansen from "Twinkle Twinkle Star", but Da Mimi thinks that the most handsome one is still Demon Lord Zunlou.
However, whether it is the youthfulness in the first two films or the domineering and strong character of the Demon Lord, Wei Yang mainly relies on his youthful face and acting skills.
The mature, reserved, elegant and gentle temperament of the male protagonist Professor Gu in "My Love from the Star" is actually the most consistent with Wei Yang's real personality.
Therefore, the superb appearance + the close-fitting temperament, coupled with the decent and exquisite shape, even Da Mimi feels a little surprised when looking at it.
Although it is still uncertain about the quality of the drama "My Love from the Star", Da Mimi feels that just based on this face, Wei Yang will definitely gain a lot of fans.
Da Mimi suddenly started to feel jealous again. Men like beautiful women, and women naturally like handsome men.
Regardless of whether Wei Yang is a scumbag or not, this face and figure are indeed pleasing to the eye. It's no wonder that Liu Shishi is full of happiness when she mentions Wei Yang...
