Chapter 172: The first blood of the movie, Fan Ye is born



In the morning, Wei Yang woke up from his 3×2.5-meter bed, squinted his eyes to look at the bedroom of more than 80 square meters, and walked into the bathroom equipped in the bedroom to wash.

While brushing his teeth, Wei Yang heard the doorbell ring. He went to open the door and saw that it was Wei Fei who came to pick him up with breakfast and clothes.

Wei Yang let the person in. Wei Fei had been here once before when he accompanied Wei Yang to buy a house, but when he saw it again, he was still shocked by the luxury and spaciousness of the house.

"Brother, what is it like sleeping in this house?"

Wei Yang hesitated for a moment and told the truth: "It's too big. I'm a little scared to sleep alone."

Wei Fei: “…”

Dear assistant, you are still pretending to be cool, are you still a human being? ! "I'm not kidding you, you live alone on this floor, it's so empty, I feel a little scared when I go to sleep at night."

The houses Wei Yang lived in before were basically no more than 200 square meters. The one he lived in this time was the largest one, with one household per floor. He was very excited to live alone at first, but after a while, he couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

So this house is not suitable for living alone, but suitable for living with others...

While eating breakfast, Boss Wei was thinking about who to bring to the warm room later, and at the same time listening to Wei Fei's report on the notices for the next few days.

Wei Yang has been filming for nearly half a year, and has a huge backlog of various notices. Even if he carefully selects and eliminates some unimportant ones, it will still be enough to keep Wei Yang busy for a while.

Most of them were commercial activities, and there were also some interviews, two award ceremonies, three variety shows, two advertising shoots, and a cameo in a movie...

Wei Yang, who was enjoying his meal, lost his appetite after hearing this long list of announcements.

However, this is not the end. The above is just Wei Yang’s announcement as an artist. As a company boss, he also has other jobs.

"This is the work schedule that Hu Ya copied for me. There are three project meetings within the company, 17 backlog documents to be confirmed and reviewed, two contracts to be signed, and three partners who need you to attend. In addition, the government also has an event that they hope you will attend..."

Not only did he lose his appetite, Wei Yang even felt a little nauseous.

It's good to be rich, it's all earned through his blood and sweat...

Since the beginning of August, Boss Wei has entered the busy bee mode. Every day he is either rushing to make announcements or on his way to make announcements.

The newly bought luxury car became a mobile sleeping bag! The newly bought luxury house was only lived in for one day! He had no time to care about his two beautiful wives! Boss Wei felt like a big victim, and then he called his agent Lei Chun and scolded him for more than half an hour. If he dared to accept so many notices for him next time, he would not get his year-end bonus.

Of course, Wei Yang was just venting his anger, and Lei Chun couldn't be blamed for this.

Many of the notices were incidental to previous endorsements, and there were also some projects with backgrounds that he couldn’t promote.

For example, the cameo appearance in the movie "The Founding of a Party", a tribute film directed by Han Sanye of China Film Group, even if Lei Chun had the courage, he could not refuse it to Wei Yang.

Even Wei Yang himself has rejected at least a dozen movie scripts, and this time when someone contacted him, he still obediently handed over his movie.

"Hmph, wait until I get on top of the leader..."

Boss Wei tried to save his face, then flew to Hengdian to complete his guest appearance.

Hengdian, Ming and Qing Palaces In addition to the award ceremony, Wei Yang also saw the most luxurious cast to date, with many big names in the Chinese entertainment industry, such as Chow Yun Fat, Zhao Benshan, Feng Gong, Fan Wei, and King Liu, gathered together.

Boss Wei is strong enough among young actors, and even a figure that many people can only dream of, but in front of this group of people, he is still a junior.

The names such as Brother Yang, Mr. Wei, and Teacher Wei were automatically changed to [Xiao Wei] or [Wei Yang].

"Hello, Teacher Zhao."

"Teacher Feng."

“…”

Wei Yang is very perceptive. He is not familiar with people in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and people may not pay attention to him, a young and popular actor in mainland China.

Since they couldn't get together, Wei Yang was too lazy to try his luck and decided to stick to the mainland. At least he knew these old faces from the Spring Festival Gala very well and they had common topics to chat about.

Among them, Feng Gong and Fan Wei were okay, and they communicated normally, but Zhao Benshan was obviously more enthusiastic about Wei Yang.

The reason is very simple. Both of them are so-called star bosses. They set up their own entertainment companies, gathered teams to film movies, sold them to platforms, and trained actors. Zhao Benshan has a larger theater territory than Wei Yang.

Because of this, Zhao Benshan has some understanding of Wei Yang.

Although Blue Whale has only been around for a short time and its scale is not particularly large, it is still very profitable.

"My Dear Sir", "Hello, Old Times" and "The First Time in My Life" have a total revenue of over 200 million.

In comparison, Zhao Benshan is filming TV series and preparing movies. He has opened more than a dozen large stages and co-produced variety shows with TV stations. Even though he and Xiao Shenyang earn less than Wei Yang.

Of course, this is just a rough calculation, without a detailed breakdown of the various revenue shares. Wei Yang was able to rank first on the Forbes list, and a significant proportion of his income comes from endorsements. In terms of actual film and television company revenue, it's hard to say who makes more money between the two.

But Zhao Benshan debuted for as many years as Wei Yang.

Regardless of whether Zhao Benshan wins or loses, the fact that the two can compete against each other for income speaks volumes.

Others may be in the system or focus on movies, so they may not care about Wei Yang, but Zhao Benshan will never underestimate this young man.

"Is this idol drama so profitable?"

Old Zhao was a little envious. There was no shortage of buyers for his plays, but they were mainly from CCTV, the three northeastern provinces’ television stations, and then the Northern Television Station.

Making money is certain, but due to the market audience, the lower limit is very high, and the upper ceiling is also difficult to break through. Zhao Benshan has opened big stages all over the country and even entered the film market. In fact, he is also expanding his business and trying to find new development directions.

"Xiao Wei, you are an expert in screenwriting. Can we at Benshan Media shoot something other than rural and comedy themes? Can we come to your idol drama?"

"this……"

Wei Yang was in a trance and saw the scene of Song Xiaobao and Huang Shengyi playing a couple again, and couldn't help but be amused.

"Teacher Zhao, I think you can try realistic themes and tell stories about the changing times in Northeast China, like the style of "Marshal Ma."

“This style is not easy to shoot.”

But it ultimately failed for many reasons. One was the diversification of development, which meant they couldn't bring all the best talents together as before. Also, some of the same actors and creative teams parted ways, and the newcomers were unable to carry the team.

In addition, this kind of realistic subject matter does have too many thunder points, which is easy to violate taboos. Moreover, it may not sell at a high price, which is a thankless task.

If it weren't for him and Fan Wei supporting "Marshal Ma", it would definitely not have become as popular as it is now.

This is a really difficult matter. The Zhao family class is the reason for their success and failure. Zhao Benshan and his group of disciples have left too deep an impression on people. It is not something that can be transformed just by saying so.

Wei Yang and Zhao Benshan chatted for a long time but didn't come up with any useful suggestions. However, the two sides had a lively discussion because they were connecting each other with platform channels.

Zhao Benshan acted as a matchmaker and helped Blue Whale get to know more TV stations and brands in Northeast China. Wei Yang also said that he could introduce Zhao Benshan to suitable sponsors and partners in the south.

Although both parties are in the same industry, their markets are not the same and there is no conflict in their businesses, which allows them to form a certain degree of resource complementarity.

Boss Wei was quite happy. It was difficult to join the Beijing and Hong Kong circles, so it would be nice to open a gap in the Northeastern circle.

Zhao Benshan was also very happy. He didn't expect that he could get something useful out of the casual chat. This young man really should not be underestimated.

The two were talking happily when they were suddenly interrupted by Fatty Fan who came in hastily: "Excuse me, Mr. Zhao, I have something to talk to him about."

Zhao Benshan looked at the two of them and said sympathetically, "You guys are busy, you guys are busy."

"What's wrong?"

Wei Yang knew that Fan Xiaopang would also make a guest appearance in "The Founding of a Party". She played the Empress Dowager Longyu, and he played the Regent Zaifeng, who was Puyi's biological father and the Empress Dowager Longyu's brother-in-law. The two had rival scenes.

However, he didn't meet her when he came here just now. He thought Fan Xiaopang hadn't arrived yet, so he went to talk to Zhao Benshan and the others. Unexpectedly, she suddenly appeared and pulled him away as soon as they met.

"The Third Master just came over, and several bosses from Chengtian and Bona are here too. I'll take you to the Baibai Pier, as it'll be useful when you're making a movie in the future."

Wei Yang finally understood what was going on. Although he was now a prominent figure, he might not be taken seriously if he rashly went up to socialize. But with Fatty Fan acting as a go-between, the effect would be much better.

"Well, I have to eat your soft rice again."

Fan Xiaopang was sincere in helping, so how could Wei Yang refuse his kindness? He just sighed and said that he owed him a favor.

"You should eat less of my free food."

Fat Fan rolled his eyes at him, and then explained the specific situation of several people on the way to prevent Wei Yang from committing any taboos.

When they arrived at the location, Fat Fan was the first to greet everyone, exchanged a few words, and then pushed Wei Yang out.

"Director Han, other bosses, let me introduce you to my brother, Wei Yang."

"Is there any need for you to introduce this, Bingbing?"

Boss Li of Galloping Pony smiled and said, "Who in the industry doesn't know Boss Wei of Blue Whale? He is a young talent. The young are formidable."

Wei Yang smiled modestly: "Mr. Li, you are embarrassing me. It's pure luck. I am far behind you all."

Fatty Yu from Bona grinned and took the initiative to say hello: "I've wanted to get to know Xiao Wei before, and this time I finally got what I wanted."

"Haha, President Wei, nice to meet you."

“…”

Wei Yang was treated better by this group of bosses than by the previous bigwigs in the entertainment industry.

After all, the entertainment industry still needs seniority to rank people. Most people are not interested in acting in TV dramas, nor do they care about pleasing Wei Yang. These bosses are more concerned about business and wealth. As long as you can make money and have the potential to bring them benefits, you are their guest of honor.

Blue Whale itself has a bright future, and Wei Yang is extremely popular. Maybe one day they will start to cooperate, so it’s natural that they will be happy to show their support.

Even Mr. Han San chatted with Wei Yang alone for a few minutes. He felt a little regretful when he heard that Wei Yang's short-term focus was on TV dramas.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang said goodbye and left, the latter unable to hide the jealousy on his face.

"I have been struggling for more than ten years before I can speak in front of these people. This is your first meeting with them, but why do you feel that they value you more than me?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Wei Yang spread his hands and said jokingly: "You rely on your face, but I not only have face, but also connotation."

Fatty Fan was so angry that he pinched him: "You didn't call me for several months, and I rushed to help you, but you still said I was a vase."

Wei Yang was in the wrong and was pinched several times by her. He dodged with a grin: "Sister, there are so many people here, don't let us get photographed."

"It's a good thing to take a picture. It hasn't been on the headlines for a few days, so it's a good time to have a big one."

Fan Xiaopang didn't care at all and was even eager to try.

Two months ago, she walked the red carpet in Cannes wearing a dragon robe. Coupled with "My Love from the Star", two top streamers on Weibo, and the accumulation of major commercial endorsements, her popularity has reached its peak in the past six months.

Her domineering line "I don't marry into a wealthy family, I am the wealthy family" won her countless fans and promoted her to "Fan Ye".

At this stage, Fan Xiaopang has already overwhelmed all the big and small stars.

If she "publicly announces her relationship" with the equally popular Wei Yang at this time, the exposure and popularity she will receive will be so great that no one can stop her.

She was happy to see it happen, but Wei Yang was afraid of a fire in the backyard, so he decisively admitted his mistake, and finally escaped from the clutches of the devil after much persuasion...
