In the past two years, in addition to distribution business, Guangxian has also begun to participate in investment and even led the production of some films.
Especially this year, Guangxian has been planning to go public, and its investment is getting bigger and bigger.
Not only did it invest in and produce many movies, it also attracted popular artists such as Liu Tianxian, Deng Chao, and Xu Zheng.
Especially the first two, can be said to be highly bundled.
Guangguang not only let the two play the male and female protagonists in the "Four" series, but also starred in "The Banquet" and "Painted Skin" produced by Guangguang respectively.
The situation of these two people is very interesting. They have both fame and status, but their positions are somewhat awkward.
Liu Tianxian fell in love with Huayi after "The Forbidden Kingdom", and her moves to Hollywood and Hong Kong circles were not smooth either. It cannot be said that she has been standing still, but her development has indeed been a bit bumpy.
Now she is just a few steps away from becoming one of the top four female stars, and behind her are other young actresses of the same generation such as Da Mimi and Liu Shishi, who are eyeing her covetously.
If you don't want to go back to acting in TV series and want to stick to movies, then the best option is to take advantage of the light that is ready to show off your skills and has no leading artists.
Deng Chao’s situation is even simpler. He has a grudge against Feng Kuazi and Huayi doesn’t like him.
He was suppressed by Huang Xiaoming before, then Chen Kun popped up, and now there is also Wei Yang who suddenly appeared, and even the momentum of Wen Zhang, Hu Ge and others is constantly rising.
Among the popular young actors in mainland China, Deng Chao's ranking has begun to move down. If he continues like this, it is not impossible for him to be kicked out of the list of first-line actors.
So when Guangguang extended an olive branch, Deng Chao quickly came to join, and even called on his girlfriend Sun Niangniang to help out.
However, even Deng Chao himself didn't know that the male artist that Guangguang was most optimistic about was actually Wei Yang.
Wei Yang was invited to star in "The Banquet" and "The Four". Even Light Media once tempted Wei Yang with a salary of 20 million yuan plus a share of the profits, hoping that he would create a movie based on himself and Liu Tianxian and star in it.
This price is not low. The pay for actors in TV series and movies are two different things.
Taking the recently planned "Painted Skin 2" as an example, it is rumored that Zhao's pay is only about 5 million, while Zhou Gongzi and Chen Kun's pay is even lower.
Because of the huge popularity of Da Mimi in "Palace", it is rumored that she only received 800,000 yuan in salary for "Painted Skin 2". It is not clear whether it is true or not, but even if it is doubled, it is not particularly high.
You know, with Da Mimi's current net worth, her pay for TV dramas is probably 400,000 per episode, but 300,000 per episode is definitely a good deal for the crew.
After "Eastern Palace", Wei Yang is now the highest-paid actor in the field of TV dramas.
In the first season of "Joy of Life", his salary was 500,000 per episode, but the cost overrun was too serious, so after a series of negotiations, Wei Yang only took 10 million in cash and gave him a 5% share of the rest.
This is because blue whales and emerald shrimps account for the majority of the items, and Wei Yang didn’t want to look too ugly when eating, so he charged a “friendly price”.
Therefore, if Wei Yang were to take on acting jobs outside, his pay for a single episode would likely be 600,000 to 700,000 yuan. If he meets someone who is willing to spend money, 800,000 yuan per episode is not out of the question.
As the male lead in two consecutive national satellite TV ratings champion super hit dramas, he has such confidence.
If Wei Yang went into the film industry, his pay would definitely drop drastically, from tens of millions to millions.
Of course, Wei Yang is fundamentally different from other actors. He is not only an actor, but also a creator. He has made great contributions to the success of "My Love from the Star" and "Eastern Palace".
Therefore, Wei Yang’s remuneration cannot be simply calculated based on film pay, but rather as a core creator.
Not to mention, Wei Yang himself is the boss of a film and television company, and offering a bid that is too low is tantamount to insulting him.
Therefore, Guangguang offered a sky-high price of 20 million+ for profit sharing, plus the movie filter, which seems to be a sign of sincerity.
Unfortunately, Wei Yang was determined to do his own thing and declined Guangxian's invitation. However, in the face of Guangxian's repeated invitations, Boss Wei still had a good impression of them.
In addition, Guangxian is an expert in distribution, and when Blue Whale enters the film market in the future, there may be opportunities for cooperation.
So, although Wei Yang declined Guangguang's offer, he took the opportunity to establish a relationship with the other party. Before he went to Beijing to invite Chen Daoming, he also took the time to have a meal with Mr. Wang, the boss of Guangguang.
Boss Wang brought up the old story of the male protagonist of "The Four", but Wei Yang did not agree. Instead, he took the initiative and asked Boss Wang a question.
Lao Wang, do you want funding? The Four is a project that Guangguang mainly produces and is one of the few profitable projects.
Although this series claims to have an investment of 230 million, according to industry estimates, the average production cost of each film does not exceed 50 million, especially since the second and third films were shot together, which saved a considerable amount of money.
Even Wei Yang planned to learn from him.
If the first season of "Joy of Life" performs well, then if the schedule permits, it is very likely that the second and third seasons will be filmed together to save money and effort.
Since "The Four" can make money, Wei Yang is naturally willing to get involved. Even if the project's returns are not high, it is worthwhile to establish a good relationship with Guangxian.
Guangguang was not short of money, but was happy to be friends with the talented Wei Yang, so it readily gave up 20% of its share of "The Four".
Wei Yang also agreed that Guangxian will have a share in the distribution of Blue Whale’s new film this year.
In addition, Wei Yang was very straightforward in giving Guangguang's leading actress Liu Yan an important role, that is, Si Lili in "Joy of Life".
Regardless of whether Wei Yang had planned this for a long time, Boss Wang accepted the favor and returned the favor.
The second female lead in "The Four" is played by Naza from Blue Whale.
Strictly speaking, this is a win-win deal. Liu Yan and Nazha are both very popular and are good candidates for the two crews. The two artists have obtained good high-quality resources and can enter the television and film circles as they wish.
Well, not everyone is happy. The originally scheduled architect Jiang is said to be very unhappy.
She got this role with the help of her financial sponsor, the boss of Holiland, but it was snatched away by someone else.
But there was no point in her getting angry, as the financial backers behind him were not much stronger than Wei Yang's, not to mention Wei Yang's influence in the film and television industry.
The boss of Guangguang Wang arranged other resources for her, but she was definitely not included in "The Four".
Wei Yang felt a little regretful for a while. Architect Jiang was kicked out and couldn't have a deep friendship with classmate Liu Tianxian. Wouldn't it be a loss of a famous scene in the entertainment circle?
…
For Wei Yang, securing a film resource for Nazha can also be regarded as resolving the casting dispute of "Joy of Life".
There is no suitable role for Zhao Ji. Xiao Zhao can play Fan Ruoruo, but this role has rivalries with Liu Shishi. Wei Yang has nothing better to do than to dig a hole for himself, so he let Rouba come in.
The role played by Fan Ruoruo is actually not that difficult to act. She is just a good sister who loves her brother.

Roubabinaza has better acting talent. In this life, Blue Whale is very strict with his work and Wei Yang is personally training him, so it won't be a problem for him to take on this role.
When Nazha filmed "The Four", without the support of this Blue Whale's own people, Haitang Duoduo was chosen by Wei Yang for Tang Yan.
Since then, "Joy of Life" has also taken advantage of the gimmick of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy Three Beauties" and saved a lot of publicity expenses.
Considering the current relationship between Da Mimi and Tangren, in the entertainment industry today, only Boss Wei has this ability.
Many people support Tang Yan's role as Haitang Duoduo, after all, she has had successful roles like Zixuan. There are also those who oppose it, thinking that Tang Yan is too gentle and sweet now, and they are afraid that she will not be able to grasp the heroic role of the Saint of Northern Qi.
Some people also joked that the reason why Wei Yang chose Tang Yan and gathered the three beauties of the Legend of Sword and Fairy was because he was inspired by "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".
At that time, he was just a supporting role, and a "dog-licking" supporting role at that. He must have envied Hu Ge, the male protagonist, who was surrounded by beautiful women.
So now that he has become famous, he made his own TV series "Joy of Life" and got all the three beauties from "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" to be his wives, as a kind of compensation.
It’s no wonder that this kind of story of “don’t bully the young man because he is poor” and “the supporting character becomes a dark horse” has always been popular among people, and there are many netizens who believe it.
Even Liu Shishi and Tang Yan couldn't help but call to inquire.
Wei Yang: “…”
To be honest, he didn't have this idea at first, but after hearing everyone say this, he began to doubt whether he really had this knot in his heart, so his subconscious mind led to this result...
But no matter what, with the participation of Tang Yan, Liu Yan, Rouba and others, the lineup of "Joy of Life" is even more luxurious.
He has four wives, namely the three beauties of Fairy Sword + Liu Yan, and a sister with whom he has an ambiguous relationship, Dilirouba.
Many people gritted their teeth and complained that Wei Laozei was so lucky in love, but at the same time they couldn't help but start looking forward to "Joy of Life".
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a drama that gathers so many popular actresses and beauties. It’s also a happy drama with a male lead. It’s exciting just thinking about it.
While all the limelight was stolen by several actresses such as the three beauties of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", the crew of "Joy of Life" announced several other characters and actors.
Tian Yu (Wang Qinian)
Huang Xuan (Second Prince)
Wu Sanshi (Young Fan Xian)
The latter two are easy to say. The role of Tian Yu Wang Qinian is ranked only after Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping. It can be said that he is the formal fourth male lead, higher than Cui Peng, Wang Yang, Lin Gengxin and others.
Unfortunately, Tian Yu is not famous and not many people know him, so he is ignored by the media and the outside world.
However, Tian Yu himself, as well as his relatives and friends were all stunned. No one expected that he would participate in "Joy of Life", and it was said that the role was very important.
You should know that Tian Yu has participated in very limited film and television dramas, and most of them are small supporting roles. He has been working more on the stage of drama.
If we have to find a well-known label for Tian Yu, it should be the old-fashioned and pedantic background ex-boyfriend who was reported by countless media and condemned by literary young people, and who broke up with Tang Wei in "Lust, Caution" because she devoted herself to art.
So Tian Yu and the people around him could not figure out how he was chosen by Wei Yang.
So during the script reading and makeup trial before the filming of "Joy of Life" started, he couldn't help but ask Wei Yang questions.
Wei Yang was well prepared. He looked at the resumes of these unknown actors and then took a quick look at their clips.
There was no mistake at all. The actor felt that he had a good eye for talent and that he had met a noble person, and he felt very happy.
The name "Wei Girl" has been big enough in the past two years, but Boss Wei's reputation as a talent scout is actually not small either. The number of undisputed actors who have become famous under his hands is almost in double digits.
Don't underestimate these people. They are grateful for Wei Yang's support. When they gather together, they are a great force. They are also the confidence of Boss Wei to establish his own territory...
