“Hmm…”

Wei Yang got up from the bed and was about to go to wash up and go to work, but he was stunned by the layout of the room. He realized that he had finished filming "The Best of Us" and returned to the rental house in Ningyuan Community.

“It’s nice not to have a job.”

Wei Yang, who worked three jobs every day and was exhausted like a dog, sighed sincerely and fell asleep directly.

It was not until almost noon that Wei Yang was awakened by the urge to urinate. He had to get up to relieve himself. When he came out of the toilet, he felt refreshed.

I forgot to charge my cell phone last night, so the battery was low, but Wei Yang didn't panic at all. He took out the low-battery battery, took out a universal charger to charge it, and then took out the battery he had prepared in advance and installed it.

Turn on the phone, the battery is fully charged!

Wei Yang sincerely feels that the universal charger + removable battery is YYDS. The mobile power bank is too bulky, and it is not as convenient as removable batteries for replacement and easy to carry.

Holding the phone, Wei Yang replied to a few text messages to Xiao Zhao, brushed his teeth and washed his face, then went to check on Li Jiahang's bedroom. He found that the guy had not woken up yet.

He lifted the thin blanket and spanked the butt in SpongeBob's underwear hard.

"I'm going downstairs to eat, do you want to come?"

"What time is it?"

Li Jiahang asked in a daze. Wei Yang showed him his cell phone, and this guy jumped up immediately.

"Oh no, oh no, I agreed to have the interview this afternoon."

"That special effects drama?"

"Yes, oh, please help me smash this broken alarm clock. Damn it, it delays my work."

Li Jiahang hurriedly changed his clothes and washed up. Seeing this, Wei Yang took out the car keys and said, "Let's drive."

"Uh-huh."

Li Jiahang took the key, holding an apple in his mouth, and holding hairspray and a comb in his hands. It seemed that he was going to pack up on the way and leave in a hurry.

After he left, the house was empty. Wei Yang was too lazy to go downstairs, so he made himself a bowl of noodles. While eating, he sorted out his next plan.

① The production of "The Best of Us" has come to a temporary end. He has no say in the later stages and does not have to worry about its distribution.

All we can do now is wait for the feedback from the trial broadcast. If it is really broadcast on satellite TV, there may be a publicity announcement.

② Tangren is still in a stalemate and there is no breakthrough in the short term. If "The Best of Us" achieves some results, it should be helpful.

③There was no breakthrough in the other scripts submitted, and newcomers were still not trusted.

Wei Yang looked at the records in the notebook and suddenly realized that he seemed to have nothing to do for some time in the future.

But it’s okay. His sophomore year will start in two days, and he should take some time to digest what he learned from "The Best of Us".

After finalizing the follow-up plan, Wei Yang also began to take inventory of his belongings.

The total amount of royalties and remuneration was 50,000 yuan. The producer paid his salary for three months and finally gave me 5,500 yuan.

He checked the bank card that Sun Wei gave him and found only 5,000 yuan in it.

But it's normal. The total cost of "The Best of Us" is only a few million, and the profits are limited. They don't dare to do anything big. There are several people above them, so 5,000 is a lot for him.

By this calculation, the drama earned a little over 60,000 yuan.

He has to pay taxes on his film and royalties, and after deducting rent, car payments, and other expenses, he now has about 30,000 yuan left.

In 2007, the average transaction price in Shanghai’s real estate market was over 9,700.

Taking the JA district where the Shanghai Opera House is located as an example, the minimum price of properties on sale is over 10,000 yuan, and more than half of them have an average price of 20,000 yuan per square meter.

With the little money Wei Yang had, it was hard to even buy a toilet...

Thinking of the cruel housing prices in Shanghai, Wei Yang's originally complacent joy disappeared. He kept turning his pen and kept muttering, "I still have to find a way to make money."

…

In the evening, Li Jiahang came back happily carrying some dishes. As soon as Wei Yang saw his look, he knew that everything was safe.

"Is there a chance?"

"It's about right."

"Male No. 1?"

“Yeah, hahaha…”

He first played a significant supporting role in his debut film "The Best of Us", and now he is the male lead.

Don’t think that the male lead in a special effects drama is nothing special.

If you go to the Performance Department of Shanghai Theatre Academy and ask around, you will find out how many seniors have never played the leading male or female role in their entire lives. No matter how small the crew is, they are still the first role.

"Congratulations, I wish my brother Hang will soar to the sky and achieve great things."

Wei Yang sincerely congratulated him, and he also had some inexplicable expectation in his heart. He hoped that when he could imitate the golden armored warrior's transformation in the future, this guy would not be able to break through his defense.

Li Jiahang, who had no idea of ​​Wei Yang's sinister intentions, invited Wei Yang to eat.

Li Jiahang is from Northeast China, and Wei Yang's taste tends to be northern, so the two can eat together, and usually when they go out to eat, they mainly order Northeastern cuisine.

Affordable and delicious! Sweet and sour pork, three fresh vegetables, braised pork intestines, pickled cabbage ribs, plus two large ribs per person.

"This restaurant has great bone stew. Tell me the name of the restaurant later."

Wei Yang was gnawing on a big bone and praising it. Li Jiahang smiled naively, picked up a can of beer, and spoke to Wei Yang sincerely and seriously.

"Old Wei, I never really thanked you before. You helped me introduce roles and took care of me in the crew. In fact, I was able to get the leading male role this time thanks to you. People were more interested in me because of my experience in The Best of Us..."

Wei Yang waved his hand to stop Li Jiahang. He clinked his beer and patted his chest: "Stop being hypocritical. Brothers, let's not talk about this. It's all in the wine and here."

"Yes, it's all in my heart."

Li Jiahang nodded and drank the beer in the can.

It’s all about doing, not talking. It’s useless to talk big but it won’t work at the critical moment.

Li Jiahang is not very good at speaking and can't say many nice words, but he has one thing in mind: if my brothers treat me with sincerity, I will treat them with sincerity in return.

Wei Yang was also very pleased that no one was willing to help an ungrateful person. It was precisely because he saw that Li Jiahang was a loyal and honest person that he was willing to make friends with him.

…

The next morning, Wei Yang dragged Li Jiahang to clean the house and ran to the computer city to get a second-hand laptop.

Before, he wrote things in the Internet cafe or computer room at school. During the filming, he borrowed a laptop from the Blue Whale Company to revise the script.

After the filming was finished and the laptop was returned, Wei Yang felt it was inconvenient to be without a computer, so he gritted his teeth and bought a new one.

Since he bought the computer, Wei Yang had no intention of leaving it idle.

He had several scripts on hand and didn't need to write any new ones for the time being, so Wei Yang was thinking about whether he should write a novel online.

If it becomes popular, it will also be a source of income. If it doesn’t become popular, it doesn’t matter. Just treat it as a piece of writing practice.

In 2007, a certain point had already become quite famous, but Wei Yang had no plans to go there.

A long novel of several million words would take up too much time and energy, and it would have to be updated every day. Wei Yang is free now, but if there is any new announcement, he would not have time to update steadily, so he prefers to write medium-length or short stories.

There is no need to serialize daily, you can stop and write as you please. The main thing is to build up your reputation and then see if you can get published.

It would be best if it could be adapted into a film or TV series, and then I could sell the copyright for it.

After considering these conditions, Wei Yang set his sights on the mystery novel author [Zijin Chen].

Zijin Chen, known as the Chinese version of Keigo Higashino, is very influential in the field of mystery novels, and many of his works are ranked among the top ten domestic mystery novels.

What’s more impressive is that the online dramas adapted from his novels, "The Undocumented Crime", "The Silent Truth" and "The Bad Kids", all achieved outstanding results and have an outstanding reputation, and can be regarded as representative works of novel adaptations to film and television.

As a professional screenwriter, Wei Yang can also be considered a half-literary figure.

He knew that the publishing industry was no less complex than the entertainment industry, and he had no intention of becoming the next Han Han or Guo Xiaosi.

Considering that his main job is screenwriter and actor, as long as the novel can make money + layout, he is very satisfied. Unfortunately, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" were published last year, and he has not read much of the works of another online publishing tycoon Jiang Nan.

These novels are the real treasury! However, Wei Yang believes that contentment is the key to happiness. Zijin Chen didn't say anything when he was fleeced, so he should also learn to cherish his blessings.

…

In early September 2007, a post about a novel series titled "The Undocumented Crime" appeared in the Literary section of Tianya Forum.

The author's name is [Weiyang], which is a homophone of Weiyang, and also has the good meaning of being free from disease and disaster, and living a long and peaceful life...
