Wei Yang looked at the luxuriously, exquisitely and stylishly decorated office, nodded with satisfaction, and asked Wei Fei to take a few more photos.

"When our company moves, I can refer to this set for my office design."

The producer next to him smiled and said, "I'll have to praise the art, set design, and props later. This has become the model room you chose."

"Don't just praise me, give me some bonus. The design and scenery are really good this time, better than I thought."

Wei Yang was in a good mood. He did not participate in too much of the early preparations for the drama "Come, My Love", but only mentioned the general direction and requirements.

As a result, the crew did a good job. At least Wei Yang looked around several main scenes including the male protagonist's office, home, the female protagonist's employee office area, home, etc., and did not find any major problems. There were some minor flaws, but they were not serious. There were also some small surprises in many places.

"Aren't these all brought up by you when you were working on My Love from the Star? Artist Liu Cixin has always said that he is your apprentice."

Although the producer may be accused of flattery, it is not without reason.

When filming "My Love from the Star" at the beginning, Wei Yang was involved in all the costumes, makeup, and scenery, and many people did some training and coordination with him.

Many times, the technical level is one thing, but it is more of an insight and innovation, limited by thoughts and vision. Wei Yang has the experience of later generations, and simply mentioning two key points can bring significant improvements to the product quality of the entire Blue Whale team.

After watching the shooting scenes, Wei Yang had no major objections overall, and the producer and director Liu Junjie also breathed a sigh of relief.

That’s right, the director of “Come, My Love” is still Liu Junjie.

He can be considered as Blue Whale's exclusive director. His value skyrocketed after "My Love from the Star".

However, directing a TV series and directing a movie are two different things.

The latter can be said to be the core creative staff of the film crew. Some of them have a greater presence than the leading actors, so their income will naturally not be low.

TV drama directors have relatively less influence, and their technical content and indispensability are not as strong.

What's more, everyone knows who is the biggest contributor to the success of "My Dear Lady". Although Lao Liu has raised the price, it is not particularly exaggerated.

However, after all, he was his early benefactor and a veteran of the company, so Wei Yang did not deliberately lower the price and just gave him what he deserved.

Lao Liu is also very particular. Even when there were rumors that people from outside were offering high prices to poach his employees, he turned them down and focused on filming "Come on, Mr. Shu" for the company.

On the one hand, they had a personal relationship and Wei Yang didn't treat him unfairly, so they were all comfortable working together and he had no intention of changing jobs.

On the other hand, Lao Liu feels that Blue Whale has greater development prospects.

After working with Wei Yang for the past two years, he is almost becoming the "Godfather of Modern Idol Dramas". If he continues like this, he might even become the No. 1 director of idol dramas.

After chatting for a few words, the producer and director were busy with their own things. The filming was about to start, and the work on the set was quite busy. Wei Yang also went to the dressing room to try on his costume.

He had tried it twice before, but hadn't finished it completely.

There was no way, there were too many costumes and he hadn't even tried on one third of them.

This time, the crew and the brand prepared nearly 100 sets of clothing for Wei Yang, covering summer and autumn seasons, including suits, shirts, dresses, pajamas, casual clothes, windbreakers, etc.

If Boss Wei packs up these costumes, he won’t have to buy new clothes for the next one or two years…

But this won't save much money, and the profit will be greater if these costumes are auctioned off.

The costumes for many modern plays are usually processed through reuse, collection, and auction.

Of course, if some of them are high-end custom-made items sponsored by brands, they will be recycled. And some of them are sponsorships brought by the artists themselves or sought by them, and have nothing to do with the crew.

Previously, in "My Love from the Star", except for a few high-end couture pieces that were recycled, the other costumes sponsored or purchased and made by the crew themselves were kept by Wei Yang and several other main creators, and Blue Whale collected a few. The other 80% were auctioned off.

However, at that time, due to the high popularity of "My Love from the Star", every move was watched.

Wei Yang was afraid of causing controversy, so he simply donated all the proceeds from the auction to charity. This was considered a small way of giving away his wealth, so that those people who were staring at how much he earned would calm down a little, and he could also accumulate a good reputation at the same time.

In the subsequent works "Eastern Palace" and "Come on, My Sweetheart", Wei Yang may also adopt a similar strategy.

As an entertainment company and public figure, charity is unavoidable. Such an operation is more effective than simply donating money and achieves multiple goals at one stroke.

…

Dressing Room

As soon as Wei Yang opened the door, he saw Xiao Zhao chatting with the makeup artist Xiao Fang. The latter had a bun on her head and her chubby face was puffy, like an angry puffer fish.

Wei Yang hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to leave or go in. As a result, Xiao Fang, who was quick-eyed and quick-mouthed, blurted out something.

"Boss Wei."

Xiao Zhao immediately turned his face around, looking pitiful. Wei Yang sighed, pulled a stool and sat down.

"Didn't I tell you to ignore those comments? Why bother with them?"

Ever since Zhao Liying was officially announced as the heroine of Wei Yang's new drama, she has become a celebrity recently.

After all, compared to the previously very good-looking Fan Xiaopang and Nazar, Xiao Zhao seems somewhat "ordinary", and even his resume is nothing outstanding.

Some people also dug up Xiao Zhao's information. It turns out that he has a secondary technical school degree, was a product of a talent show, and had been a supporting actor for several years, with no fame at all.

The only interaction between him and Wei Yang before was that they acted together in "The Best of Us". Later, he participated in "Criminal Police Storm" written by Wei Yang, and signed to join Blue Whale in October last year.

With a resume like this, not to mention compared with the popular young actresses in the entertainment industry, even many second- and third-tier actresses are better looking than her.

So the more this happened, the more curious everyone was about what Wei Yang saw in Zhao Liying. It would have been fine if he just signed her, but he actually went so far as to push for her to play the female lead.

Did she catch Boss Wei in some way, forcing him to comply?

Whether these remarks were intentional or not, they were certainly a blow to the parties involved. At least Xiao Zhao was inevitably devastated after reading them.

But this is normal. Any newcomer who rashly takes the lead and works with top brands will be questioned. Nazha has also experienced many storms before.

"Don't worry about what they say, just act well, play your role well, and give these people a slap in the face."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Wei Yang understood Xiao Zhao's personality. She was a strong-willed girl at heart.

This is actually a good training for her. The more external stimulation there is, the more it can arouse her unwillingness to admit defeat and the desire to prove herself. Wei Yang is actually looking forward to seeing a Xiao Zhao who explodes.

Of course, although he knew that these would not defeat Xiao Zhao, as a boyfriend, Wei Yang could not just watch Xiao Zhao being autistic here alone.

When men and women get along, material aspects are one thing, but emotional values ​​are also very important.

After looking at the dressing room door, Wei Yang went over to lock it. Then he imitated a scene from the script and made an awkward move, jumping twice to the left, twice to the right, and finally standing still with his legs and pointing one hand to the sky.

"Liying is a little sun, full of positive energy. Come on!"

If Zhao Liying did this little action, it would be cute and full of energy. Wei Yang did it not look ugly, but the contrast with his usual mature and steady style was very strong.

“Pfft~haha…”

Seeing Wei Yang acting funny, Xiao Zhao couldn't hold it in and bent over, holding his stomach and laughing. Xiao Fang even covered his mouth with all his might, trying not to laugh out loud.

She would never have thought that Boss Wei, who is worth over 100 million and is always dignified and steady in the company, has such a side to him.

But soon, the shock and joy turned into envy. Wei Yang was willing to sacrifice his image by acting cute in order to make Xiao Zhao happy.

She used to think that Xiao Zhao was somewhat lucky, and was worried about the true situation between the two of them. But now it seems that they still have a good relationship in private.

Seeing that Xiao Zhao was in a good mood, Boss Wei made a few more jokes and finally made Xiao Zhao happy.

Although Boss Wei usually cares a little about his image, when his girlfriend is unhappy, it doesn't mind him showing off a little bit of humor to comfort her.

For him, there is no need for so much image and airs when a couple is together. It’s okay in public, but in private he can still be humble…

Wei Yang not only makes Xiao Zhao happy in private, but also firmly supports and protects Zhao Liying externally.

At the opening ceremony of "Come on, My Love", he not only criticized some outside voices but also praised Zhao Liying highly to the reporters who came to interview him.

"…Professional actors have their own advantages, but that doesn't mean all outstanding actors must be professional actors…I don't understand why many people always mention so-called grassroots actors and always regard them as a "derogatory" term. In my opinion, Wang Baoqiang is better than many actors…"

"...Liying is a very good talent. She is a quick learner, willing to work hard and seriously, and has a very good personality and mentality. I think she is very suitable for this industry. I am confident that she will become famous, and a big star..."

"...No, no, no, I think she is very beautiful. Fan...is one kind of beauty, Guli Nazha is one kind of beauty, and Zhao Liying also has her own charm..."

“…”

In the evening, Zhao Liying browsed the news pages on her computer, feeling happy but also a little worried.

"Aren't you saying too much? A lot of people are waiting to laugh at you. What if I don't become popular?"

"If it's not popular, keep promoting it until it becomes popular."

Wei Yang also knew that what he said would definitely be controversial, and even had the intention of putting Xiao Zhao in a difficult position, but the current wind direction was like this, and even if he didn't say so, Xiao Zhao would still have a hard time.

It would be better to fight with one's back against the wall. At the same time, Wei Yang also drew a lot of firepower to his side, which to a certain extent reduced the pressure of public opinion on Xiao Zhao.

Wei Yang told Xiao Zhao to relax, thinking that even if he failed this time, there would be another chance next time. However, Xiao Zhao felt even more angry when he saw the mockery of Wei Yang in the comment section, and his fighting spirit was ignited.

Everyone thinks she can't be famous, but she insists on becoming famous!

When Wei Yang saw the high-spirited Xiao Zhao, he seemed to have seen the famous star from his previous life, and his heart was suddenly filled with relief.

Don’t mention it, the development system really gives you a sense of accomplishment…
