As soon as the news of the Forbes ranking came out, Wei Yang became a mascot in the "Eastern Palace" crew, and people looked at him with passionate eyes wherever he went.

These days, a millionaire is considered wealthy, and the title of billionaire is extremely high, let alone a young man who has made his fortune from scratch.

Wei Yang, who has not celebrated his birthday this year, is only 22 years old. Compared with the amount of wealth he has now, his future is more dazzling.

He is only 22 years old and has not yet graduated from university. He has risen to prominence in just one or two years, but he has already accumulated such a fortune.

If he were given ten years, what achievements would he have made?

Although there are many examples of "Zhongyong's injury", whenever we see such young talents, we are still more willing to imagine the path to success.

Compared to other people's clamor and excitement, Wei Yang himself cursed the Forbes rankings in his heart.

Although this news gave him great exposure and was beneficial to him in many aspects, it also brought him a lot of trouble.

It's not like he's "killing pigs" at his level, but he is certainly easy to be targeted.

It would be fine if there was just a female gangster who wanted his body, but Wei Yang was afraid that someone would set up a blackmail scheme, and even more afraid that someone would kill him for money or kidnap him for extortion.

Public security is not safe these days. The kidnappers in criminal investigation dramas only demand a few hundred thousand dollars. A billionaire who has just started his business is simply a fat sheep in the eyes of some people.

So now Wei Yang's bodyguard Huo Jun never leaves his side, and two other security personnel are also arranged to follow Wei Yang closely.

Although it may be an overreaction, there are all kinds of people in Hengdian, and even if the probability is very small, you may run into someone who is willing to take risks.

It's better to be cautious. Wei Yang doesn't lack this little money. He can at least get through this storm first.

"Boss, you really made 150 million in half a year."

In the lounge of "Eastern Palace", Naza glanced at Huo Jun who was sitting in the corner, and asked Wei Yang with a smile.

Wei Yang ate his lunch box by himself without even looking up: "It's fake."

"I don't believe it. There are many news reports about it, including from authoritative media."

"Then why are you asking?"

"I'm curious."

Naza hugged Wei Yang's arm and said coquettishly: "I have never seen so much money, Boss, tell me about it, you are the only billionaire I know."

"Don't move your hands."

Wei Yang righteously criticized Naza's inappropriate behavior, but his arm showed no sign of struggling to get rid of it.

Seeing this, Rouba next to him hesitated for a moment, then hugged Wei Yang's arm. She was not as bold as him, her face turned a little red, and she was too embarrassed to act coquettishly, so she just agreed softly.

"Boss, please tell us."

Wei Yang's arms were restrained, feeling humiliated: "You are a hooligan, aren't you? I called for help."

"We won't let you go unless you tell us."

Wei Yang decided to stop while he was ahead and pulled out his two arms: "Alright, alright, stop making trouble. It will be bad if someone sees us."

Naza felt a little regretful: "Then tell us."

"What are you talking about?"

"What are billionaires like? What kind of lives do they lead?"

"He was extremely extravagant, spent money like water, drank the most expensive wine, ate the most expensive food, drove the most expensive car, lived in the biggest house, ate, drank and had fun during the day, and asked several girls to sleep together at night, and was the bridegroom every night."

Naza and Rouba opened their eyes wide: "Is this true?"

"Of course it's fake."

Wei Yang complained unhappily: "The three of us are filming together every day, and we have to eat two out of three meals a day together. I am busy like a dog every day, so I don't have time for a good time."

"ah……"

The two girls were a little disappointed. This was very different from the billionaire they had imagined.

"What's the point of making so much money?"

"Spend money, not the kind I just mentioned. I have money now. I can buy any house I want to live in, any car I want to drive, any travel I want to go anywhere, buy whatever I like, and satisfy my girlfriend and family's needs. With money, I have enough confidence to enjoy the life I want."

Looking at the somewhat confused Naza and Rouba, Wei Yang didn't talk much, as this pair of people were still a bit far apart.

"You'll understand when you have money in the future. Maybe then you'll get tired of money and think it's meaningless."

Nazar, who was a bit obsessed with money, thought about the scene described by Wei Yang and shook his head like a rattle.

"There's no way in my life I'll ever find money annoying."

Rouba also nodded. Everything else was fine, but when it comes to money, you can never have too much.

"I'm still not at that level yet."

Wei Yang sighed. In fact, his current thoughts were similar to those of the other two, but he really wanted to experience the mentality of "I don't like money, I'm not interested in money."

…

Wei Yang didn't take the outside world's disturbances too seriously. After all, it was not hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars. A small goal of just nine digits was not worth making a fuss about.

Apart from adding a few bodyguards for security and being more thorough in his work, he still films as usual, and is still the same as before.

It can be roughly divided into two stages. One is the fight for succession, where the male protagonist defeats another prince and takes the throne of the Eastern Palace. The other is to sit firmly in the Eastern Palace and succeed to the throne smoothly.

In the original TV series, the male protagonist fell out with the queen and the prime minister behind her, mainly to avenge his mother.

This reason cannot be said to be far-fetched, after all, the hatred for parents is greater than heaven, but it is more or less a bit thin, and the political plot is more centered around love.

The setting of the Blue Whale version of "The East Palace" is relatively more substantial. It is not only for the purpose of avenging his mother, but also for the purpose of seizing power and getting rid of the influence of the Gao family, so as to prevent the East Palace from being controlled by the queen's party and powerful officials.

Even in the final stage, the hero, the prince, not only fights with the queen and Prime Minister Gao, but also with the emperor.

The hidden dragon grows stronger day by day, and the king cannot be at peace.

It is most difficult for the emperor and the crown prince to get along harmoniously. If one side is strong, the other side has to give in, otherwise it will be a naked power conflict.

The title of the drama is "Eastern Palace". It is a drama about a prince, but the big boss is not the emperor, which is a complete waste of the title and setting.

The actors who played the emperor, empress and Prime Minister Gao were all veteran actors, and Wei Yang benefited a lot from acting with them.

As torturous as it was to film with Nazha before, it is now as refreshing to film with this group of veteran actors.

In fact, many times, it was Wei Yang himself who had problems with the performance or was dissatisfied with it. Others acted with ease and grace, but he sometimes could not keep up with the performance or overacted.

But the difference between Wei Yang and Naza is.

As for Zha Cai, the director was unhappy and Wei Yang scolded her; as for Wei Yang Cai, no one said anything about him, even the director and the co-actor took the initiative to help smooth things over.

Nazha has many NGs, and others think she is useless and a waste of everyone's time; but Wei Yang has many NGs, or is not satisfied with the repeated takes, and everyone thinks he is dedicated and strict with himself.

Naza: “…”

Most people already have a certain filter for themselves, and in this situation, many people will be easily corrupted by sugar-coated bullets. Coupled with a group of fans who like to flatter, it is easier for artists to not recognize their true situation.

Although Wei Yang is a double standard person, he has one good advantage, which is that he never lies to himself and has a strong sense of self-awareness in many aspects.

When it comes to his own plays, especially when he is working on them, Wei Yang does not watch them with a self-appreciative eye, but habitually finds fault with them.

He separates himself as an actor from himself as a producer/screenwriter/supervisor, and looks at his performance from a relatively objective third-party perspective, as if it were just another stranger actor performing the role.

If he is satisfied or it meets his requirements, he will agree to pass it. If he is not satisfied, he will re-shoot it.

In some very few important scenes, Wei Yang is even more demanding than other actors, hoping to push himself and give a higher quality performance.

There is a scene where he finally confesses with Prime Minister Gao. Wei Yang made a lot of preparations and perfectly portrayed the role of a prince who grew up in a gloomy palace and was deep and patient for more than ten years. Even Ni Dahong, who acted opposite him, couldn't help but praise him.

"A potential movie star."

"You're too kind. I'm still far from that."

Wei Yang himself knows that he has a good talent for acting, but not to the extent that he needs help from others. In addition, his mind is too distracted and he has too many things to do, so he cannot devote himself to the industry of an actor.

If he continues like this, perhaps with more filming, various learning and training, and with more experience, he can become a talented actor.

But there is a high probability that he will not become a top actor who leaves his name in the film industry. As for the Best Actor, without considering off-field factors, perhaps it depends on whether there are any good scripts.

As mentioned before, Wei Yang is not demanding about this. If there is a chance, it would be nice to fulfill his wish, but if not, it doesn't matter.

There are not so many perfect people in the world who make money, are talented, are bosses, have lots of romantic relationships, and want to be movie stars. Building two fire stations next to the ancestral tomb of the old Wei family wouldn't be enough to burn the fuel...

…

While "The East Palace" was being filmed intensively, "This Is My First Life" was also broadcast on satellite TV after the first round of trial broadcasts.

The setting of this drama, which is about marriage before love, and the warm emotional line between the male and female protagonists, makes its performance, although not very popular, maintain a pretty good lower limit.

During the broadcast period, it has maintained a position in the top three of the same period for a long time, and has never fallen out of the top five.

The average viewership is just about to break 1, with the highest viewership being 3.1, maintaining the record that Blue Whale’s productions must break 1.

Interestingly, the drama has a Douban score of 8.1, which is relatively high for dramas of similar genres.

The presentation and discussion of realistic issues such as marriage, upbringing, love, and drifting in Shanghai in the drama are important reasons for the high word-of-mouth rating of this drama.

Strictly speaking, the drama was both critically and commercially successful.

For Blue Whale, the more important thing about this drama is that it continues to maintain its own golden signboard, while allowing Zhao Ji's career to reach a higher level.

In the past two years, she has starred in three dramas, "Oranges Born in Huainan", "Love Apartment" and "The First Time in This Life", all of which were not only broadcast on TV, but also had good ratings and influence.

Coupled with her own popularity on the Internet and the fame of the original singer of "Light Chasers", Zhao Ji was even shortlisted for this year's Golden Eagle Goddess.

It is because she is too Buddhist and even at risk of retiring. In addition, given Xiao Zhao's special identity and brilliant achievements in her previous life, otherwise, with Zhao Ji's current momentum, Wei Yang might really support her as the top star.

So being a boss sometimes also makes you worried.

Career-oriented artists are full of energy every day. Although they make a lot of money for the company, they are also full of troubles and have to clean up the mess from time to time.

Buddhist artists like Zhao Ji don't cause any trouble, are obedient and do little work, but they make little money for the company and may quit one day.

Comparing the two, from the perspective of a company operator, Wei Yang actually prefers hard-working women like Xiao Zhao and Da Mimi...
