"Didn't you say you would come back after the Lantern Festival?"
"I was bored at home. My brother and I quarreled every day. My mother was annoyed by us, so I came back."
Wei Yang teased: "I remember your brother is almost an adult, aren't you afraid of being beaten up?"
"When I was little, I was so scared of being beaten that I didn't dare to fight back."
Zhao Liying waved her hand with great domineering power. Her younger brother is Zhao Jianfei, who was born in 1993, several years younger than her, and is just in the age range of "blood suppression".
Even though her brother has grown up now, he still has a psychological barrier against Zhao Liying, whom he beat up when she was young. He only dares to talk back but not to take any action.
Wei Yang recalled the notched iron rod that Zhao Liying had held. He could somewhat understand why her brother did not dare to fight back, and he also felt sympathy from the bottom of his heart for his brother-in-law's miserable childhood.
After changing his clothes, Wei Yang helped Xiao Zhao pack up, which were mostly local specialties brought from his hometown.
Xiao Zhao's home is in Langshi, Hebei Province, with Beijing to the north and Tianjin to the east, so many of the local specialties are similar to those in Beijing and Tianjin, and of course there are local ones. Wei Yang prefers the donkey meat from Xiao Zhao's hometown.
It is said that this is a shop owned by a relative of Xiao Zhao. The food is fresh, mellow, tender and tasty. She has brought it there several times, and most of it was eaten by Wei Yang herself.
After packing and sorting his things, Wei Yang went to the study to work. Xiao Zhao heated up some milk for him and took a curious look at the computer.
“Hasn’t the revision of ‘Shan Shan Comes’ been completed?”
Xiao Zhao did not participate in the drama "Eastern Palace", even though there was a villain suitable for her to play, but Wei Yang still suppressed it out of selfishness.
Now Xiao Zhao is not very famous and can't control people. If she plays a supporting role to Dilraba Dilmurat or Guli Nazha, it will be difficult for her to be the top actress in the future.
Therefore, Wei Yang consciously did not let her participate too much in these dramas of Blue Whale. At most, she made one or two cameo appearances, and most of the time she took on external notices.
Wait until Blue Whale's previous project is finished, devote energy and funds to it, and directly push her to be the female lead.
"Come on, My Love" is the first drama he chose for Xiao Zhao to play the female lead, and it is also Xiao Zhao's representative work in her previous life.
The original time and space drama won the annual ratings championship of Jiangsu Satellite TV, and is currently ranked in the top ten in terms of ratings. The results and reputation are quite good, and the heroine is very likable and easy to attract fans.
When Xiao Zhao first became famous, he was blackmailed by the entire Internet for his outspokenness and lack of tact.
Later, her reputation was restored and even her popularity among the public soared. She once surpassed others and became the representative of the 85 flowers. This was largely due to the two dramas "Come on, Mr. Love" and "The Journey of Flower", which brought out her cute and sweet personality.
The new generation of sweet girls in later generations have more or less imitated some of Zhao Liying's original style.
Wei Yang has made an analysis for Xiao Zhao. Leaving aside those big stars, among the new generation of young stars, actresses who love to play the sweet girl role are actually quite scarce.
Especially in the mainland, there are no influential representatives outside the circle, and Xiao Zhao can perfectly fill this gap.
Although the sweet girl route has certain limitations and the commercial resources may be worse, this route also has its own advantages, that is, it can attract many fans and easily gain popularity among passers-by.
At least in the short term, this route is a shortcut for Xiao Zhao to rise quickly, and it is also very suitable for her own characteristics.
In addition to being a sweet girl, Wei Yang also plans to label her as [inspirational] and [grassroots].
Although Xiao Zhao met Wei Yang very early in this life and her life was not as difficult as in her previous life, she had indeed been a supporting actor for several years and was a rare non-professional from a low-level background.
Her use of these two labels is not a whining complaint and will not cause any trouble.
With these labels, Xiao Zhao's personality will be fuller, and it will be easier to consolidate his fan base, improve the impression of passers-by, and facilitate subsequent transformation.
The two beauties from Xinjiang were touched by Boss Wei's thoughtfulness and consideration, but they didn't realize that compared with Xiao Zhao's, the detail and dedication of their development strategy were nothing.
Therefore, Zhao had no objection at all for not participating in "East Palace", because she had known about the existence of "Come on, My Love" for a long time.
Although the investment of "Come on, My Love" is not as high as that of "The East is the Palace", the best one is the one that suits you.
Not to mention that Wei Yang has already been chosen to play the male lead in "Come on, Mr. Love".
To be honest, for Wei Yang at the moment, this role did not bring him much improvement and it is a work that falls within his comfort zone.
He made this drama purely to promote Zhao Yihuan, gain exposure, gain fans and make money at the same time.
For an actor, constant challenge and transformation are key, but occasionally shooting a few works outside of one's comfort zone is also more conducive to career development.
Although Wei Yang is very popular now, his popularity has been too short, and he is still a bit superficial in all aspects. Therefore, he needs to produce continuous works to continuously expand and deepen his influence and fame.
Of the two dramas, "The East Palace" and "Come on, My Love", the former achieved a breakthrough while the latter can guarantee the bottom line.
Of course, this is a career consideration, Wei Yang also has a little selfish motive in his emotions.
He played the lead role in Liu Shishi's first film. Now it's Zhao Liying's first film as the lead actress. Wei Yang doesn't want anyone else to play with her...
Knowing that "Come on, My Sweetheart" will take over "The East is Green" and that Wei Yang will be filming with him personally, Xiao Zhao is now in a relaxed mood.
Now he doesn’t even take any acting jobs outside, and concentrates on learning and training his acting skills, waiting for the crew of “Come on, Mr. Shu” to start filming in the middle of the year.
Wei Yang took the milk and took a sip, then gently moved his chair back two steps and moved the computer away.
"The one with the college life on campus or the one with the liar?"
Xiao Zhao is usually considered as Wei Yang's half secretary, and is quite familiar with some of Wei Yang's screenwriting work.
Dramas like "The East Palace" and "My Sunshine" are adapted from novels, and the plots are already written.
Wei Yang only needs to control the tone, sort out the outline and plot structure, and then review and polish it. Most of the other screenwriting work is done by his two apprentices and other screenwriters.
However, some "original" scripts cannot be completed by Wei Yang simply throwing out an outline, and require him to participate deeply in the screenwriting work.
The two books I just mentioned are also the ones that Wei Yang wrote most often, so Xiao Zhao was more impressed by them.
"No, it's the script of a Korean drama. I just bought the copyright. I asked someone to translate it and marked the key points."
When Xiao Zhao heard that it was a Korean drama, he watched it a few more times. Then he saw the lines "Since you are looking for excitement, then carry it through to the end" and "You are so flirty", and his face was filled with black lines.
"You don't want to play this role?"
Read the original text at Liu#9@书/吧!
Wei Yang smacked his lips with some regret: "I actually really want to give it a try, but I probably won't be able to act."
This is a drama with a strong female lead, but the male lead is a scumbag. His character has no positive meaning except for being a joke. It is really not suitable for Wei Yang now.
Even if he wants to play a scumbag, he doesn't have to follow this drama.
"Who do you want to play the role then? Jiahang?"
"I'm not sure. This drama has done quite well in Korea. Let's get the copyright first to prevent others from getting it first. We'll decide when to start filming later."
Wei Yang did not discuss the details, but shared a piece of good news: "We bought the adaptation rights from South Korea, and sold one of our adaptation rights to South Korea. Japan and Vietnam may also buy it."
"My Love from the Star?"
Xiao Zhao guessed which drama it was directly. After all, only this drama that is so popular in Asia could cause South Korea, Japan and other countries to rush to buy it for adaptation.
In addition to selling the adaptation rights, Wei Yang did not say one thing, which is that South Korea has purchased "Twinkle, Twinkle Star" and is preparing to broadcast it in South Korea.
This is not surprising, after all, Wei Yang is very popular in South Korea.
Many fans and viewers will inevitably be curious about his other works. As long as there are people watching and there is a market, the Korean platform will naturally have to satisfy them.
Wei Yang is the male lead in "Twinkle Twinkle Star", the show has outstanding performance and reputation, and the subject matter does not affect foreign audiences, so it was naturally the first to be introduced.
However, the copyright of this drama belongs to Tangren, so how much money is made has nothing to do with Wei Yang. What’s more important is that the heroine is Liu Shishi.
Wei Yang was a cautious person and never mentioned Liu Shishi in front of Xiao Zhao. Similarly, Liu Shishi never talked about Xiao Zhao.
Even Liu Shishi might not know the situation of the newly signed artists of Wei Yang's company. Xiao Zhao did try to find out occasionally, but Wei Yang played dumb and she didn't gain anything.
Moreover, judging from Wei Yang’s current rumored girlfriend, Liu Shishi is already a thing of the past, and he and Fan Xiaopang are the focus of the audience and media.
After all, Liu Shishi only went to participate in "Happy Camp" with Wei Yang. Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang have publicly teamed up to make money many times, and even went abroad together, plus their fame and the popularity of "My Love from the Star".
The popularity of [Yang Bing's sister-brother love] has overshadowed that of [Yang Shi's golden boy and jade girl].
Many media outlets and insiders swore that the two were already together, but Fan Xiaopang's own response was ambiguous. A large number of collaborations were exposed and various CP fans were clamoring, making this rumor "more and more true."
Fan Xiaopang's charm is no joke, and he has a bad record! Therefore, Xiao Zhao's defense focus immediately shifted, and even Liu Shishi, who had been relatively calm, began to pay attention to Fan Xiaopang.
However, after returning to China, Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang had almost no private contact, and he was not afraid of the two's vigilance and probing.
Wei Yang revised the script until the evening, and then went to bed. The next day he had a headache and got up late. Then he saw Xiao Zhao who went out to buy breakfast. He handed him the newspaper he bought on the way with a smile.
Wei Yang looked down at the title "One Dragon and Two Phoenixes" and the accompanying photo, and realized that he was photographed having dinner with two beauties from Xinjiang province last night. His blood pressure suddenly soared.
"You're crazy. This is a regular restaurant with other people around. Coming up with this title, isn't it ruining my reputation?"
Fortunately, Xiao Zhao knew that the reporter was making trouble and was not angry. Wei Yang coaxed her to finish the meal and told her that he was going to a neighboring province on a business trip for two days.
Afterwards, Wei Yang went downstairs first and called Liu Shishi with another mobile phone on the way.
"...Really, a new employee in the company...I'm just average, far from you...Well, you take a leave tonight, I'll go to my new home..."
After settling the issue and appeasing both sides, Wei Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He did not reject rumors and was even happy to see them happen, but the prerequisite was that the groundwork had to be laid well and it could be controlled. This kind of sudden rumor could easily catch him off guard.
And this is not the first time!
Boss Wei looked at the familiar signature and wondered whether he should ask Lao Zheng and his gang of coal bosses to borrow a few people to talk to them, otherwise he would really think that he was a soft persimmon...
