The news that Blue Whale was preparing to shoot "The East Palace" has never been a secret.

However, it was not until after the New Year that the preliminary preparations of all parties were revealed and the publicity and promotion team of the crew also consciously followed up, and the outside world began to pay formal attention to this work.

The author of "Eastern Palace", Fei Wosi, is somewhat famous on the Internet. He had sold the copyright before, such as "Love Is Sweet", starring Qiu Ze, Chen Qiaoen, Feng Shaofeng and others.

The work "Eastern Palace" itself has many fans, and now it has been adapted into film and television, attracting a large number of fans of the original work.

However, compared to the fans of the original novel, Wei Yang's fans and the drama fans are the majority.

Before this, Wei Yang had only played in one costume drama, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3". Apart from the plot of the Demon Lord Chonglou, his appearance and temperament received rave reviews. He was once considered a strong contender for the title of Tianya's most handsome man in costume drama, so many people were looking forward to his first costume drama as the leading actor.

Given Wei Yang's current popularity, there needs to be much discussion about him. At the same time, the outside world has inevitably turned its attention to the actress who plays the female lead.

After "My Love from the Star", Wei Yang's ability to promote female artists and his ability to bring good luck to his wife have become widely recognized.

Yang Rong, Liu Shishi, Zhao Ji, Tang Yan, Fan Xiaopang...

The actresses who have worked with Wei Yang or played opposite him have all made great progress in their careers and fame, and some have even soared to fame and been reborn.

One or two may be coincidences, but four or five cannot be explained by luck.

Many people have analyzed the reasons. First of all, Wei Yang participated in the behind-the-scenes production of most of his works, so the quality of the series itself is guaranteed.

At the same time, Wei Yang is indeed a versatile CP player. He is good at creating sparks with actresses and knows how to tap into the qualities of his rival actresses to form excellent interactions. The more emotional scenes he has, the easier it is to stand out.

Among the actresses mentioned above, Zhao Ji has no rival scenes, Yang Rong and Tang Yan have emotional lines with Wei Yang, but they are not official couples. Although the three of them have benefited a lot, they are far inferior to the main female protagonists Liu Shishi and Fan Xiaopang.

After these two people cooperated with Wei Yang, their careers developed the best, their popularity increased the most, they made the most profits, and they have a large number of hardcore CP fans.

Now, the heroine of "Eastern Palace" is not only a project in which Wei Yang is deeply involved, but also the heroine with the most emotional scenes, not to mention that it is also Wei Yang's first work after he became popular.

It is no exaggeration to say that whoever gets this female lead will become famous. I can’t guarantee it completely, but there is definitely a good chance.

As a result, "Eastern Palace" has become a hot commodity and a big piece of fat in the eyes of female stars in the circle, becoming the next Fan Xiaopang or Liu Shishi.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, Young Master Yang, thank you for your understanding..."

Wei Yang hung up the phone, looked at Da Mimi and Liu Shishi who were looking at him in the private room, and smiled bitterly.

"Alas, I have too many social engagements. I can't even have a peaceful meal. I'll keep quiet for now."

Liu Shishi and Da Mimi were very considerate, and the latter was even a little envious. The more people called, the more it showed that Wei Yang was doing well and everyone had something to ask him.

"Who is this Young Master Yang?"

When Da Mimi heard her cousin's surname, she couldn't help but ask, maybe they could get in touch with each other, Wei Yang smiled.

"I guess you know him, Juli. He took a fancy to "Eastern Palace" and wanted to promote Huang Shengyi, but I rejected him."

"I heard he's very powerful, I hope he won't offend me."

Liu Shishi was a little worried, and Da Mimi couldn't help but agree: "I heard that he has a net worth of billions and his family has a very powerful background."

"Don't believe it, it's just bullshit."

Wei Yang shook his head and couldn't help complaining, "His family is rich, but it has nothing to do with him. His background is nonsense, used to deceive people. To put it bluntly, he is just a rich second generation who has some shares in the family business. He is rich, but not that exaggerated. At most, he only has a few hundred million."

“That’s pretty rich.”

Da Mimi said something truthful. There are so many celebrities with a net worth of tens of millions now. People at this level are also considered to be financial sponsors.

However, this sponsor has no appeal to Wei Yang. Wei Yang knows several people who are richer than him. Even as far as this one is concerned, in two years, they still don’t know who is more like a sponsor.

Wei Yang had no interest in this person and did not want to offend her, so he just declined politely. However, Liu Shishi and Da Mimi were a little curious.

To be more precise, he was curious about the gossip story between this person and Huang Shengyi, and asked Wei Yang to confirm it.

"A man has done so much for a woman, and he is such a womanizer. He only wants money and sex. What kind of people do you think they are?"

"Sex, Huang Shengyi is so beautiful, they have always had a scandal."

"It's money, if you make it famous you can make money."

Liu Shishi and Da Mimi each put forward an opinion, and Wei Yang chuckled: "Are you stupid? These two are not in conflict, and you can have both money and beauty."

The two suddenly realized what was going on, and then Liu Shishi suddenly looked at Wei Yang and asked suspiciously, "You don't like both money and beauty like him, do you?"

“…”

Wei Yang really wanted to give himself a big slap in the face. Why was he pretending to be so cool when he had nothing to do? He had fallen into a trap.

"How can I be the same as this lustful rich second generation? All I care about is my career and you..."

Wei Yang immediately expressed his loyalty and then changed the subject. Liu Shishi didn't dwell on it too much and started talking about other things. Da Mimi next to her seemed to be thinking about something.

"It's nothing but money and sex. Money and sex..."

Today's party was held because Da Mimi came to Shanghai for an event and took the initiative to invite Liu Shishi. Later, Liu Shishi called Wei Yang over.

Wei Yang knew very well what Da Mimi's purpose was. He had encountered too many similar situations in recent days.

On average, there were at least two phone calls a day for recommendations or help with connections, and all social events stopped. If Liu Shishi hadn't stepped in, Da Mimi would never have been able to make an appointment with Wei Yang.

But Wei Yang didn't expect that Da Mimi would be so patient this time. She didn't bring up the business until the meal was almost over.

"I heard that the female lead of "Eastern Palace" has not been decided yet?"

Wei Yang smiled and said, "I haven't released any news yet. I just want to create some hype."

The news about the casting of the heroine of "Eastern Palace" is still very hot. There are news about Fan Xiaopang and Wei Yang working together for the second time, Wei Yang's preference for Liu Tianxian, An Yixuan's three visits to Blue Whale, and even Zhou Gongzi's visit to Shanghai, which all gained popularity from each other.

Da Mimi was choked by Wei Yang and turned to look at Liu Shishi, who pretended not to see her and concentrated on eating.

As a good friend, she can help with the matchmaking and even make an appointment with Wei Yang, but how she gets the role depends on Da Mimi's own efforts.

She sides with Da Mimi, but also sides with Wei Yang more. It's okay for her to help speak for him, but she won't interfere with Wei Yang's decision.

Seeing that Liu Shishi didn't say anything, Da Mimi couldn't help feeling a little discouraged, but she still took the initiative to fight for it.

"Old Wei, I won't beat around the bush. I want to be on 'Eastern Palace'. The pay is negotiable. Even free is not a problem."

“It’s really not about the pay.”

Wei Yang glanced at Liu Shishi, who was stunned for a moment, then stood up and left the box to get a drink. As soon as she left, he spoke his mind directly.

Read the original text at Liu#9@书/吧!

“One of our goals for this drama is to promote new talents. Salary is not a problem in the first place, and if we make people famous, it will make money for the company. But the one who gives you the resources and makes the profit is Rong Xinda.

Mimi, we are friends, but I also have to consider the jobs of hundreds of people in the company."

Yang Mi was still a little unwilling: "What if I sign with Blue Whale?"

Wei Yang smiled and said tactfully: "Our company's strategy is different from Tangren's. We prefer to cultivate ourselves."

On the surface, this statement was about the different development directions of the companies, but in fact, it was a tactful nod to Da Mimi. With the precedent of Tangren, the great wronged person, he did not believe Da Mimi's empty talk.

These words were actually quite harsh, and Da Mimi's face looked a little unhappy, but Wei Yang was calm and just picked up the food to eat.

Liu Shishi, who went to get a drink, pushed the door open and livened up the atmosphere. Da Mimi then forced a smile and cooperated, but the atmosphere was still a little awkward.

After finishing the meal, everyone left. Liu Shishi looked at Wei Yang in the car and asked, "What did you ask me to say just now?"

"I didn't say anything, just a few words. I was afraid that you would be embarrassed with her, so I asked you to stay out of the spotlight."

Liu Shishi suddenly realized and couldn't help but said, "Did you say something too harsh just now? Mimi is a little unhappy."

"I'm neither her boyfriend nor her father. What does it have to do with me whether she's happy or not? I'm not happy either."

Wei Yang was also a little unhappy: "Before, she disliked the role in "My Love from the Star" and went to film "Beauty's Rival in Palace". Now she is acting like nothing happened. She wants to be the heroine for nothing with tens of millions of investment. She takes me for a fool."

Boss Wei treats his female friends preferentially, but that doesn’t mean he is a bootlicker.

He and Da Mimi have known each other for such a long time, but she has never done him any favors. At most, she gave him a little face, and she was even suspected of backstabbing him.

It's not that Wei Yang blames her, but it's impossible that he doesn't have any grudges in his heart. He is not so mean as to bring his own huge resources to cooperate with Da Mimi without her saying a word.

He holds Fan Xiaopang in his arms because he can bring him many benefits, but Da Mimi is not qualified at the moment!

Da Mimi is known for her high emotional intelligence, but sometimes she likes to play tricks. It's ok to fool other people, but in front of Wei Yang, it's simply showing off one's skills in front of an expert.

"It's not easy for Mimi, actually. Her company doesn't care much about her, so she has to fight for many resources on her own. If she wants to keep her position and move up, sometimes she can't help but... scheme."

As long as Liu Shishi has a good relationship with someone, she will use a filter to consciously beautify some bad behaviors.

Wei Yang did not deny it, but did not correct it, because she did the same to Da Mimi, and to him as well.

"It's normal to be calculating. Everyone in the industry calculates, but she calculates hers and I calculate mine. She really has no chance in this play."

Liu Shishi nodded. Just like what was said before, she would help speak up but would not interfere with Wei Yang's decision. Although he was a little easily influenced, they were still family, so Liu Shishi still understood.

However, she still cared about Da Mimi. The next day, after Wei Yang left, she made a special call to Da Mimi, hoping to ease the relationship.

"It's okay. Actually, I thought about it when I got back. There are some things I did wrong. If it were me, I would make the same choice as Wei Yang."

Contrary to Liu Shishi's expectations, Da Mimi was very easy to talk to. Not only did she reflect on herself, she also took the initiative to find an opportunity to establish a relationship with Wei Yang.

"Please ask for me if there is any role in The East Palace that is not too big or too small, and I will help you play a cameo role."

Da Mimi felt that her mistake was that she only thought about getting without giving in return.

Who would want to be friends with you if you only take advantage without suffering any loss? You have to let others benefit so that she can also achieve a win-win situation.

At least based on Da Mimi's understanding of Wei Yang's style of doing things, he very much approves of this approach. Fan Xiaopang is a typical example, so she will do the same to please him.

Make a guest appearance in "Eastern Palace" or other Blue Whale projects, whether it is to apologize or show goodwill, do Wei Yang a few favors, and then ask him for help later. If the conditions are relatively suitable, he will feel embarrassed to refuse.

However, in Yang Mi's heart, this is still a "stupid method" and the effect is far less than that of Liu Shishi.

Wei Yang had explained things to her so clearly, but he had never been so calculating and calculative with Liu Shishi.

She also has such a shortcut...

ps: Because I didn't find the right information before, the description about the syndicate company was wrong. After being reminded by book friends, I made some changes. In addition, the original work of "Eastern Palace" should have been published directly in 2010. For the sake of the plot, I made some minor changes and published it after the serialization in 2009. Please be informed.
