The crew of "Celebrating More Than Years", the second floor of the pavilion A table was covered with dishes, Rouba and Wei Yang were kneeling on both sides, Wang Yang was standing behind Wei Yang, and several people were listening to a young man talking nonstop.
"...Look at this book, it's in very average condition. The printing and plate-making costs less than 3.2 cents. We can earn 7.68 taels for every book we sell. 100 books makes 768 taels. If we produce one volume every 15 days, that's 11,520 taels..."
“…”
"Okay, passed."
The executive director called out, and Wei Yang smiled: "Good fellow, you memorized the lyrics better than I thought, as good as a crosstalk performer."
The young man said with a little complacency: "I have been good at talking since I was a child. To be honest, if I had not acted in a play when I was young, I might have joined Deyun Club."
"OK."
Wei Yang praised: "I didn't choose the wrong person, Fan Sizhe."
The reason why the TV series version of "Joy of Life" is so popular is that it is light-hearted based on the original work, adding many comedy elements, and making the characters cute and likable.
Among them, the characters with the heaviest comedy task are Wang Qinian and Fan Sizhe, played by Tian Yu.
Tian Yu and Wei Yang were able to be found, and they have many years of experience and solid acting skills. They can find their way to comedy with some adjustments.
But Guo Qilin, who plays Fan Sizhe, has not dropped out of school yet. He is a little fat boy, and Wei Yang won't be able to play the role even if he gets him.
Wei Yang can't ask his father to play his son. Even if the little black fat guy is willing to do it, Wei Yang and Rouba can't play his brother and sister.
Rouba played Fan Ruoruo, and some people questioned her exotic appearance, but overall, it was not serious, at least it was far from the point of suspecting that Fan Jian was cheated on.
However, if the little black fat guy were to come, it would really be a genetic mutation...
So after some searching, they found Zhang Yishan, a freshman at the Beijing Film Academy.
He is one of the young generation who has the acting skills to act in comedies and make them likable.
Even though Zhang Yishan was a child star, "Home With Kids" once swept the country, and many first-line stars are not as popular as him.
But times have changed. Child stars are child stars, and when they grow up, it's a different story.
Shi Xiaolong was once very popular in Asia, but now he can only make ends meet in TV and movies. Cao Jun, Xie Miao and Ding Dang are almost unknown in the circle.
Therefore, every child star has to face his or her own transformation period when he or she grows up. If they can make it through, they will have a job in the circle. If they can’t, they will just be like everyone else.
After Zhang Yishan became an adult, his early development was not smooth. He also played some leading roles, basically in low-cost children's dramas, TV movies and the like.
He basically has no part in mainstream commercial productions, at most he can only play a supporting role. Compared with another child star who is crying out that she has no roles to play, this guy's resources are really meager.
Although Fan Sizhe is a supporting role in "Joy of Life", the production cast is here, and subsequent platform exposure is inevitable. Zhang Yishan came over and signed the contract without much hesitation.
He even intended to sign with Blue Whale, but Wei Yang did not say anything.
Firstly, Blue Whale has no shortage of male artists now, and secondly, Wei Yang has realized that it is difficult to balance resources if too many direct artists are signed, and there are too many internal involvements.
Therefore, Blue Whale will not easily sign new artists in the future. Boss Wei even intends to find someone to cooperate with to set up a new artist agency.
By then, this brokerage company will be responsible for its own profits and losses, and Blue Whale and Emerald Shrimp will take care of it accordingly, but they will not be hindered.
Wei Yang has already identified the candidate for partner, who is Yang Tianzhen, the deputy general manager of Fan Xiaopang Studio.
This sister has always wanted to start a business. Fan Xiaopang Studio has too strong personal attributes and basically revolves around Fan Xiaopang alone. The business is too thin and the room for upward development is limited. Sooner or later, she will be unable to hold back and start her own business.
Boss Wei has money and resources, they have had exchanges and cooperation before, and he is willing to delegate power and support her. He is definitely her most ideal financial partner.
However, Blue Whale’s resources are not yet saturated enough to support and grow an artist management company. The era of traffic has not yet arrived, and the domestic artist management market has not yet prospered.
Although Yang Tianzhen wanted to start her own business, Fan Xiaopang's business was also doing well, so she was a little hesitant about whether to come out.
Therefore, this cooperation is only an intention at present. Wei Yang has not even discussed it with Yang Tianzhen in detail. It is expected to take at least one or two years to take shape.
The reason why Wei Yang did not sign Zhang Yishan is very simple. This guy can't play the leading role except in a few subjects, or he can't support a play.
Among the artists of Blue Whale Company, except for Zhang Songwen who was given the golden supporting role route by his company, the rest are basically all potential protagonists, and most of them have strong commercial attributes.
To put it bluntly, this kind of artist can make money, and semi-talented artists like Zhang Yishan are worth cultivating, but Boss Wei is not very interested in them.
Moreover, Zhang Yishan and Li Jiahang have some similarities in type, and the latter's acting range is even wider than his, so there is no need to sign him.
However, although there was no plan to sign anyone, I was still quite satisfied with Zhang Yishan's role as Fan Sizhe Wei Yang.
Although his role as the landlord's silly son lacks some of the cuteness that Guo Qilin has, his comedy is not forced and has a bit of a mean temperament, which is better than Wei Yang had imagined.
The following scene is the first feud between the male protagonist Fan Xian and Guo Baokun. Li Jiahang also appears and is severely criticized by the male protagonist.
"…If all the talented scholars in the world were like you, I would be ashamed to be associated with them."
"You...you...you..."
Wei Yang launched into a verbal attack, and Li Jiahang was so angry that he could not speak. Zhang Yishan next to him cheered loudly. Then the prince came on stage and made an appointment for a poetry competition. This scene was finished.
This scene was actually not difficult to shoot. It mainly involved the extras and camera scheduling, as well as Wei Yang's inability to stop laughing when he saw Li Jiahang's silly look.
As mentioned before, most of Wei Yang's scenes were technical NGs, and he rarely laughed during filming. The only time he broke the record for laughing while facing Li Jiahang was this time.
After the scene was finished, Li Jiahang was a little depressed: "Do you really need to be so upset? It's not like we haven't acted together before, and we never laughed so hard before."
Wei Yang has been an actor for so long, if we look for an actor with the most rival scenes, Li Jiahang may not be ranked first, but he is definitely at the top.
"It's all your fault. Who made me watch Love Apartment 2 yesterday? No, it was your Yida."
"Fuck."
Li Jiahang immediately became angry: "Don't expose someone's shortcomings when you insult them. Don't go too far."
The meatball next to him was curious: "What's Yida?"
"Your brother Hang's recent drama, Love Apartment 2, premiered on Shanghai and Guangdong TV. Go back and watch it. It's very interesting."
Wei Yang would recommend it to everyone he met: "There is also a movie called 'Golden Armor Warrior'. It is a top-notch product in my collection. I won't tell others about it."
"Wei, I'm going to fight you."
"Love Apartment 2" is fine, as the characters are originally comedies, so a few jokes don't matter. But "Golden Armor Warrior" is really a psychological shadow of Li Jiahang.

The main problem is that the dialogues and actions were awkward and weird, and the acting was immature, which can be called a black history. Li Jiahang's toes tap the floor just thinking about it. He basically never mentions this drama and treats it as if it had never been filmed.
Although he has no feelings for Rouba, she is still his junior sister in the same company. How can he be Brother Hang in the future if his dark history is exposed?
Li Jiahang was so angry that he gestured with his sword to chop Wei Yang. Wei Yang also drew out a sword and "chopped" him back.
Watching the two of them laughing and joking, the audience gave good-natured laughter, and there were also behind-the-scenes photographers filming, and some people cast envious glances.
Although Wei Yang was not arrogant during filming and often joked with actors and staff, he was the boss after all and his status was there.
In the entire "Joy of Life", it is estimated that only Li Jiahang and Liu Shishi have the courage and intimacy to "chop people" in public like this.
Even Liu Shishi would not execute the person in public due to various concerns. At most, she would pinch him secretly and then deal with Wei Yang in private.
Only Li Jiahang, although usually the most "bullied" by Wei Yang, was the only one who dared to "resist fiercely". The two of them quarreled every day, but everyone knew that this was what Jian meant to the emperor.
It is no exaggeration to say that some actresses are even jealous of Li Jiahang.
For example, Rouba, after waiting until Liu Shishi had no more drama today and was resting in the hotel, she also wanted to chat with Wei Yang alone, but then Li Jiahang popped up.
Liu Shishi usually keeps his back to people and pays attention to distance in public places like this, but this guy hangs arm in arm with the boss every day, inseparable from him, and just now he even patted the boss on the butt.
She has never taken a photo!!!
Li Jiahang, who begged for mercy and surrendered after being choked by Wei Yang, had just agreed with Wei Yang not to blindly recommend "Golden Armor Warrior" to others in the future. Suddenly, he felt a cool breeze on the back of his neck and sneezed.
"Could it be that our Shengsheng misses me?"
"Don't disgust me."
Wei Yang looked at Li Jiahang with contempt. This guy didn't even dare to confess his feelings. Now she didn't even know he liked her, yet he kept mentioning Sheng Sheng.
Wei, a talented man, is loved by everyone and flowers bloom when he sees them. He is popular among thousands of girls. It is embarrassing to tell others about the fact that he has such a useless brother.
"I'm different from you. We're in a pure and beautiful relationship. Besides, don't discourage me. Li Sheng has been much more enthusiastic towards me recently. He even called me specially before."
Speaking of Li Sheng, Li Jiahang couldn't help showing his anger. Wei Yang looked a little contemptuous, but didn't say anything else. It's always a good thing for good brothers to have progress in their relationship.
However, a few days later, when Wei Yang found time to meet Liu Shishi to recite poetry at the house he had bought, this guy called him.
"Where are you? I want to have a drink with you."
Wei Yang hugged the tired-looking Liu Shishi and patted her soothingly: "Let's talk about it first."
"Li Sheng called me."
“That’s good.”
"She...she actually paired me up with another girl. Do you think she is rejecting me?"
"Well……"
Wei Yang was speechless, and Li Jiahang was still asking, "Please help me analyze this. Have you ever encountered something like this before? How did you solve it?"
"I've never encountered that before. It was always girls grabbing me, not pushing me away...hiss..."
Wei Yang took the phone away, then pried open Liu Shishi's mouth and took a deep breath: "You are murdering your own husband."
Liu Shishi snorted coldly, then reached for her phone: "Don't give me blind orders. I'm a girl and I can understand the other person's thinking better. I'll talk to Jiahang."
"All right."
Wei Yang said to the phone: "Your sister-in-law Shi Shi will analyze it for you, please listen carefully."
Li Jiahang paused, and recalled that he seemed to have talked about Li Sheng with another sister-in-law before.
Oh my goodness, I hope his good brother won’t set him up with a harem advisory group…
