"...Refreshing the title of the youngest Golden Eagle Award winner is both an honor and a pressure..."
"...There is no conflict between me and Mr. Sun Honglei. He congratulated me when I received the award, and we kept in touch afterwards. He is also an actor I like very much. If there is a chance, I would like to work with him..."
“…I also read the comments online. I am very grateful for the support of some friends and fans. I also understand the thoughts of many netizens. I will work hard to improve. I hope that one day I can dispel these controversies and doubts with my hard work and achievements…”
"I didn't write that poem. I saw it on the Internet. I didn't have any other intentions. I just wanted to say good night to everyone..."
"Sister Bingbing is a very good friend and partner to me. The outside world has over-interpreted our relationship. I have clarified this more than once."
“…”
After returning to the crew of "Come On, My Love", Wei Yang accepted a video interview with Sina Entertainment and talked about his feelings about winning the award and the recent turmoil.
After Wei Yang finished the interview, he pushed Xiao Zhao in and took advantage of the opportunity to get an interview with Sina, which was also an exposure in the end.
Sina and Wei Yang have a very good relationship. The latter is also the spokesperson for Weibo. At the same time, the two sides have also formed certain cooperation.
If there is any information or hot events on Wei Yang's side, Sina will be given priority, and the latter will also favor media resources towards Wei Yang and even Blue Whale's artists.
In the entertainment industry, media resources may seem insignificant, but they are actually very important and are related to an artist's exposure and reputation.
If you don't occupy the battlefield of public opinion, it will be occupied by the enemy. This also applies to the entertainment industry.
For example, if Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang were caught one day, the media would be in an uproar.
If Wei Yang had limited media resources, he would be attacked everywhere and allowed others to criticize and make comments about him without any ability to fight back.
But if the situation were reversed, if Wei Yang had full media resources and stable cooperation with large platforms, he could control and suppress public opinion, minimize the impact, and even confuse right and wrong.
Especially now, netizens still have trust in relevant media and some self-media, and most of them do not understand the principle of "letting the bullet fly for a while", so they believe everything they hear.
Therefore, at this time, if Wei Yang does not strengthen media resources and delays exposure and publicity, it is a small matter. But if he really encounters a tough battle one day, he will only be beaten.
Currently, the influence of print media is getting weaker and weaker, and the original three major portal platforms are gradually different in strength.
Sohu gradually fell behind, NetEase was in the middle, and Sina rose to become the number one thanks to blogs and Weibo, competing with the invincible Penguin in terms of traffic.
If Wei Yang can make good friends with the Sina Group, he will have no problem protecting himself in the short term. If he can maintain good relations with Penguin later on, everything will be fine.
After seeing off the Sina reporter, Xiao Zhao muttered, "I was a little nervous just now. I think I answered two questions wrong. Is that ok?"
"It's okay. Just call and ask them to cut that part. We still have some face to give."
Wei Yang comforted him and said that Xiao Zhao's classes were not just about acting, he also received training in etiquette and conversation.
Although it is difficult to change one's nature and he would transform into Zhao Xiaodao from time to time, his words and deeds would at most be heart-wrenching and straightforward. However, there have been many improvements on his low EQ speech and behavior that are easily disliked by the public.
Xiao Zhao is a smart person. If she controls herself carefully, I dare not say how likable she will be, but she can be sure to avoid making mistakes.
After asking a few questions about Xiao Zhao's interview, it turns out that she is still mainly based on "Come on, Mr. Love". Now this is the only identity that people pay most attention to her.
After finishing his work, Wei Yang looked around to see if there was anyone around, then he walked up to Xiao Zhao and smiled.
"Are you calm now?"
Liu Shishi has a softer temper and is relatively easier to coax. Although Xiao Zhao is not as confident as Liu Shishi and looks more well-behaved, his personality is much tougher. He had to show his displeasure to Wei Yang for a day or two before he softened his attitude.
Xiao Zhao rolled his eyes at him and said, "We are all human beings in the crew. I don't want to argue with you. We can settle the score later."
"Okay, thank you for your kindness, Madam Zhao. I will do my best to repay you when I return home."
"Virtue."
Xiao Zhao took advantage of the situation and Liu Shishi knew not to push him too far, so how could she not understand this?
He was just using this opportunity to show his attitude, but he shouldn't go too far. He should step down when there was a suitable opportunity, and he quickly started to coax Wei Yang back.
"I saw an ad for custom mink coats online a few days ago. Ask your aunt about her size and we can order two for my aunt and uncle."
Wei Yang understood Xiao Zhao's roundabout way of showing goodwill and couldn't help but smile.
This trick is really useful. It not only makes him feel that Xiao Zhao is virtuous and sensible, and filial to her elders, which makes his mother and aunt happy, but she can also gain favor in front of the Wei family.
Wei Yang is not averse to such tricks.
Sometimes he is careless and doesn't think about his family. If Xiao Zhao can give him more care and attention, it will not only make their relationship harmonious, but also make the family happy. Why not do it?
"Give your mom one too. You run the errands and I'll pay."
"Boss Wei is generous."
Xiao Zhao tilted his round face up, blinked his eyes, and said pitifully, "Can you give me one too? I've never worn a mink coat before."
“That’s not impossible.”
Wei Yang pretended to think: "But after being a grandson for two days, I am very angry now. Do you have any good ideas?"
Xiao Zhao rolled up his sleeves, clenched his two white and tender fists and bumped them together, smiling sweetly.
"Relieving heat is what I am best at. How do you want to relieve it?"
Wei Yang took out his phone as if nothing had happened: "Where is the ad you mentioned? Let me pick out the color and style..."
…
"Come, My Love" will start shooting in mid to late August. As the scenes are simple and the shooting is not difficult, the shooting is expected to take about 70 to 80 days.
That means two to two and a half months, which means the filming can be completed by mid-November at the latest. Even if there is a delay, it will most likely not exceed November.
Therefore, Wei Yang only filmed two TV series this year, which were barely passing and less than the original plan.
There is no way around it. The drama "Eastern Palace" alone has almost covered Wei Yang's schedule for nearly half a year.
In addition, his various business activities and announcements are inevitable. The most important thing is that Wei Yang has to bear a lot of behind-the-scenes work and company management work.
He personally inquires about or even participates in many aspects of his own crew or company's key projects, starting from early preparations, mid-term shooting, post-production, and publicity and promotion. He also pays attention to other projects from time to time.
These alone are enough to make Wei Yang overwhelmed, not to mention that he has two girlfriends who require time management.

Therefore, it is difficult for Wei Yang to do what Da Mimi did, to travel light, not worry about any other work, go directly from one crew to another, shoot whatever script is given, leave after shooting, and even have to film multiple projects at the same time.
Three plays a year might be Wei Yang's limit. If he runs to several crews at once and shoots four or five plays a year, or even more, there are only three possible outcomes:
Or the company will fail!
Otherwise Wei Yang is dead!
Either the company goes bankrupt or Wei Yang is dead!
Wei Yang originally wanted to finish filming "My Sunshine" steadily, and then deal with the publicity and promotion of "Eastern Palace" and prepare for the new drama, but all his plans were disrupted by a phone call.
CCTV invited him to participate in the 2011 Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Rabbit!
The current CCTV Spring Festival Gala has not completely fallen from its pedestal, but the downward trend is already very obvious. In order to reverse the downward trend, it has increased its invitations to popular film and television actors/stars to join in the past two years.
Wei Yang's popularity is high enough, and his positioning and image are also in line with the plan, so it is no surprise that he is favored by the Spring Festival Gala program team . There were similar rumors last year, but due to various reasons and time constraints, they ultimately did not materialize. This year's Spring Festival Gala program preparation team was obviously well prepared and sent an invitation early on.
Faced with the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala, it was difficult for Wei Yang to refuse. Not only was it a matter of face for CCTV, but performing on the Spring Festival Gala would also bring him many benefits.
Not to mention the huge exposure to hundreds of millions of viewers and the increase in national popularity, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is, to some extent, also a form of official recognition.
At the same time, this is also an alternative reflection of one's own background and fame. You can only be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala if the company or background behind you is powerful or famous enough.
These ordinary audiences and netizens may not feel it deeply, but fans in the circle and those who are familiar with the entertainment industry still understand it very well.
Especially for a popular idol actor like Wei Yang who has little experience and has risen to fame through idol dramas, a form of TV series with inherent deficiencies, the Spring Festival Gala stage will be a huge bonus.
It is no exaggeration to say that appearing on the Spring Festival Gala and winning the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor can almost make Wei Yang go from a top star to a de facto first-line artist.
Top stream and first-tier are two completely different things.
Top stars may be more popular than most first-tier artists, but their popularity is superficial.
Especially for those who became famous through one or two dramas like Wei Yang, their popularity and fame are often time-sensitive. If they cannot be successfully transformed and settled, they will become out of fashion in two or three years.
The F4 from Meteor Garden is the best example. At that time, they were the most popular in Asia and all the superstars avoided them. Now they can only live off their past fame and it’s a stretch to call them second-tier stars.
In comparison, first-tier artists may not be as popular as top-tier artists, but their fame, influence, works, commercial value, resume, etc. are all guaranteed, with a higher lower limit and, most importantly, stability.
A top star may become out of fashion in just one or two years, while a first-tier celebrity may fall into disfavor much more slowly and has a greater chance of becoming popular again.
Wei Yang has no shortage of popularity, works and commercial endorsements, but his shortcoming is that his resume is thin and lacks real and important achievements.
Winning the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor and appearing on the Spring Festival Gala can make up for his weakness.
By then, as long as one or two of his next dramas are not bad and do not seem so "flash in the pan", Wei Yang will be able to secure his position as a first-line artist, and the most dazzling and popular first-line artist.
Wei Yang accepted the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala without much hesitation.
He thought that he had been invited to the Spring Festival Gala, and Fan Xiaopang was no exception. The two of them would go on stage together to sing a song, and it would become a hot topic.
After asking Fan Xiaopang, she found out that she was not invited to the Spring Festival Gala at all.
Although Fan Xiaopang's public opinion has improved greatly after "My Love from the Star", she had a bad record before, so the Spring Festival Gala did not invite her out of caution.
This shows that the Spring Festival Gala can also be seen as an official weather vane. The artists they invite may not be without problems, but the risks are definitely much smaller.
This function may not be obvious now, but back in the Qing Dynasty, it was simply a "quarantine certificate" for artists.
Not to mention how depressed and dissatisfied Fan Xiaopang was, Wei Yang also had a headache when he heard the news.
Fan Xiaopang was passed over. After finally getting a chance to perform on the Spring Festival Gala, Wei Yang was unwilling to just do a random chorus or medley program.
But if he were to create a show of his own, what would he create? Wei Yang couldn’t help but regret once again that he was reborn too late, otherwise he could have just copied “Gong Xi Fa Cai”, which would not only have a good subject matter and a great effect, but would also have been popular for at least a dozen years during the Spring Festival…
