Chapter 17 Xiao Zhao on the offensive, Wei Yang busy



It was not until it was getting dark that Wei Yang reconnected with Zhao Liying and Xiao Fang.

"Sorry, I got stuck and I'm late. Have you eaten yet? It's my treat."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's troublesome enough for me to ask you to pick it up."

Xiao Fang pushed Zhao Liying, who took out the bag in her hand and said, "We've finished eating. I was afraid you didn't have any, so I bought you some food at KFC."

"Thank you, I'm really hungry."

Wei Yang was not polite and asked the two to get in the car first, then took out a chicken burger and started eating.

Mr. Cai of Tangren is indeed not as generous as Mr. Zheng. Not only did he not arrange for karaoke at a nightclub, he even didn't care about dinner.

It is said that everyone praises the coal boss, and Wei Yang is increasingly aware of the gap...

"Producer Wei, did you finish your work today?"

Xiao Fang was a little curious. Wei Yang swallowed the burger in his mouth and said, "I can't say for sure. It depends on what the other party means. Let's take our time."

There is no chance for a role in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" for the time being, but Cai Yinong still showed some interest in the script.

Wei Yang hoped to use this opportunity of selling the script to get on good terms with Tangren, earn less money, and preferably play a role.

And now the key point is that after Cai Yinong saw Wei Yang's talent as a screenwriter, she wanted to sign him even more.

As a result, the two sides had the same goal on some issues, but had strong differences on some other issues, and entered a stage of tug-of-war negotiations.

Wei Yang was not in a hurry either. He had "The Best of Us" as a fallback, and he could also cling to Mr. Zheng's support. His overall attitude towards the cooperation with Tangren was quite relaxed.

If it succeeds, it's great; if it fails, there's no loss.

They sped all the way back to Chongming. On the way, Xiao Fang and Zhao Liying shared their experiences of visiting the Oriental Pearl Tower and surrounding attractions, and Wei Yang listened with great interest.

Since his rebirth, he has been busy attending classes, writing scripts, and filming movies. Apart from playing football occasionally, he has almost no entertainment activities.

After the filming of "The Best of Us" is finished, if he has time, he will also visit nearby attractions and relax...

After returning to the hotel where the crew was staying, as soon as the three of them got off the car, Zhao Liying took out a box from her bag and stuffed it into Wei Yang's hand. Before he could react, she grabbed Xiao Fang and ran away.

Wei Yang opened the box and found a black Seagull men's watch inside.

"This girl is really generous."

Although Sea-Gull is a civilian watch and not an expensive luxury item, it is a brand after all, not some cheap product. Judging from the workmanship and appearance of this watch, it is estimated to cost several hundred dollars.

You have to know that Zhao Liying's salary for filming "The Best of Us" was only 3,000 yuan in total, so this watch is equivalent to working for several weeks for nothing.

Wei Yang put on the watch, which fit him well, and returned to the room without taking it off.

Li Jiahang and his college roommate Ma Xin were sitting on the bed watching TV. This was also a benefit for Wei Yang as a producer, as other people’s rooms might not have a TV.

For example, there was no TV in Ma Xin’s room, so he would come over and watch TV when he had nothing to do.

As for another college roommate, He Lingfeng, perhaps he did not like Da Te, whom Wei Yang had been trying to get him to play, and because his family was well-off and not short of money, he found an excuse and did not participate in "The Best of Us".

"Brother Yang, I'm back."

Seeing Wei Yang pushing the door in, Ma Xin greeted him and then concentrated on watching the TV series.

The two of them were watching the extremely popular movie "Struggle". Ma Xin was particularly obsessed with it and watched it whenever he had time.

"Yang Xiaoyun is so pretty."

Ma Xin sighed as he watched his youthful and lively sister-in-law Lu on TV, and Li Jiahang also expressed his opinion.

"It looks good, but it's too tiring."

"Even though she has a bad temper, it's human nature to pursue a good life. I just like her energy. It must be exciting to live with such a person."

It’s really exciting, I don’t know if you can bear it…

[Thanks for taking care of me during this time. I picked the watch myself, and I don’t know if you like it or not]

Wei Yang was replying to text messages with his cell phone. He hadn't typed on his cell phone for a long time, so the technique was a little unfamiliar to him.

[It's pretty good, but it costs you money]

[As long as you like it, it’s fine. This is my first time giving a gift to a boy, and I don’t know how to choose a gift.]

[First time? I'm honored.]

【……】

With nothing else to do, Wei Yang took out his cell phone and chatted with Zhao Liying via text messages.

This kind of private communication through signal no longer had the restraint and shyness that they had when they met in person. Zhao Liying spoke much more boldly, and the topics of both parties were no longer limited to the crew and work. They became more familiar with each other.

However, chatting like this is not without its drawbacks. Wei Yang didn't realize it until he owed phone bills the next day.

Text messages are not WeChat. A text message via Xiaolingtong costs 0.15 cents, and a casual chat can cost dozens of dollars.

The cost is too high, no wonder QQ online chatting is so popular...

After several attempts, Xiao Zhao realized that Wei Yang might have some feelings for him, and his mind became more active.

She plans to be more proactive! Zhao Liying, who was born and raised in the countryside, may still have many problems at this time, such as inferiority, sensitivity, low vision, mediocre communication skills, and rusticity, but she also has her own advantages.

Born in the lower class, she is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, has a tenacious character, is highly adaptable, and has the wildness of a country girl.

When she realizes that there is an opportunity, she can overcome her shyness and reserve, dare to take the initiative, and work hard for her own happiness.

But Zhao Liying soon found that her plan had failed. It was not that Wei Yang was resisting her advances, but that he was simply too busy to have time.

As I said, in Wei Yang's mind at this moment, women and other things have to take a back seat, and career and money are the first priority.

A likable character + screenwriter + executive producer, Wei Yang has almost got the best start he can get as a newcomer. If he doesn't work hard, he will be sorry for those bottles of Remy Martin XO that were finished.

With this motivation, Wei Yang can almost be said to be the busiest person in "The Best of Us".

In addition to filming his own scenes every day, Wei Yang is also responsible for managing and coordinating various crew tasks, including behind-the-scenes work, which is the most tedious and difficult, and extremely energy-consuming.

Apart from his work as a producer, as a screenwriter, Wei Yang also has to go over the script with the director and actors from time to time. If there are flaws in the plot or if there are better ideas, he has to make the changes.

After finally finishing work or having some free time, Wei Yang would go and ask Fan Ming for advice, or else he would figure it out on his own, and he put a lot of effort into the role of Lu Xinghe.

In addition to the above things, Wei Yang also had to take time out to accompany Mr. Zheng for a drink and karaoke to strengthen their relationship.

There is no news from the Tang people yet. Mr. Zheng is Wei Yang's biggest financial backer and he must not be neglected.

As long as he can please Director Zheng, even if "The Best of Us" flopped, as long as he is still in the film and television industry, Wei Yang will never lack roles to perform.

In this way, Wei Yang was so busy every day that he wished he could split himself in half and work non-stop.

Li Jiahang lived in the same room with him, but they spoke less than ten sentences a day, let alone Zhao Liying.

Being able to reply to a few text messages occasionally was already Wei Yang’s respect for his previous life.

You know, Lou Yixiao, who felt threatened by Zhao Liying and also planned to take the initiative, could only get less than half of the reply from Wei Yang's text messages that Zhao Liying received.

Of course, Wei Yang is not isolated from the girls in the crew of "The Best of Us". The female lead Yang Rong is quite familiar with him.

The two have a lot of rival scenes in the drama, and they often film together, so it's hard not to be familiar with each other...
