Chapter 295 "Overtime Pay" and New Actors in Joy of Life



Director Zheng brought over a girl who had a pretty face but a hot body.

"Chen Yuanyuan, she used to be a model and she also studied at your theater school."

Wei Yang took a look. A few years ago, he would have stood up and called her "little sister-in-law". Now that he has seen the real sister-in-law and has an understanding of Lao Zheng, he is no longer bothered by these mistresses who change every once in a while.

"Brother Zheng, this name is not auspicious. Beauty brings disaster."

"Stage name, stage name."

Director Zheng rubbed his fat hands and said, "Yuanyuan has always liked filming. See if there is any opportunity and arrange it for her."

As he spoke, he winked at Wei Yang, who understood: "I will do whatever you say. Send me your contact information and I will arrange it right away."

"Good brother."

Director Zheng laughed. Chen Yuanyuan didn't expect it to be so smooth. She said with a smile, "Brother Wei, can I play in Joy of Life? Even a supporting role is fine."

Wei Yang smiled kindly: "You are late, the roles have been decided."

"Brother Wei~ Can't we change?"

Chen Yuanyuan pinched her throat and acted coquettishly, Wei Yang smiled and explained: "It's really not possible, there are people behind me, and we agreed not to move. Next time, next time for sure."

After talking for a few words and getting the man away with the cooperation of Zheng Dong, Wei Yang's smile faded. Rouba, who was standing next to him, saw it and asked in a low voice.

"Hasn't the role for the third season been decided yet?"

"Are you really that stupid?"

Wei Yang rolled his eyes at her and said, "This is purely for picking up girls. You can just find a role in a film crew to get by. Why take the risk of a big project?"

Then, he taught Rouba: "Don't think that these people seem to be bewitched by the little goblin. Most of them are sober. They are coaxed by a little sweetness, and when they are full of it or tired of playing, they will kick them away. Few of them are really willing to spend a lot of money."

Among those who have accumulated a fortune of hundreds of millions or even billions, how many of them are easy-going? It is extremely difficult to expect them to be open-hearted and coaxed around by women.

Of course, it’s not that there is no “true love” or high level that can make more money, but the proportion is really not high.

Most women are like geese flying into a fire or goldfinches in a cage...

"So, if you want to marry a rich man, it's better to hook up with a rich kid or a second-generation rich man. It's too difficult for these old-timers to get promoted, and ordinary people can't handle it."

Wei Yang summed it up, and Rouba thought: "What about you, which one are you?"

"It's about the same. I don't think there is much difference. Maybe I'm not as generous as them in paying money."

Wei Yang spoke the truth, and Rouba laughed: "Who said that? You are so handsome. I won't feel wronged if I follow you even if there is no benefit. I even feel that I have gained something."

"If you say so, I really can't refute you."

Wei Yang thought about it for a while, and felt speechless, then he couldn't help muttering: "It seems that I have to be more cautious in the future and not let those women take advantage of me."

Rouba: “…”

In addition to Lao Zheng, other bosses also recommended a few people, but Wei Yang did not agree as before. He just said that he would audition. If the audition was okay, he would help arrange it, but if there was really no talent, he would apologize.

Although his attitude was firm, Wei Yang spoke tactfully and sincerely, and the coal bosses were all easy to talk to and understanding.

It's not that they have a good temper, but they didn't grasp Wei Yang's point. Wei Yang is not short of money now, and there are countless people who want to cooperate with him. There are several new people who want to join today's party alone.

Wei Yang didn't say he wouldn't help. He said everyone is welcome. If someone has a bad temper, Boss Wei won't tolerate him. There are plenty of people to take your place.

Putting aside the affairs of these mistresses, there are just a few newcomers who want to cooperate with Wei Yang.

In the past, Wei Yang was short of money, so the threshold was not high. It was mainly to eliminate those who were too domineering or had a not-so-clean background and wealth.

Now that the Wei Yang project is making money, the threshold for recruiting new people is getting higher and higher. Those who are not strong enough or do not have special connections can't get in at all.

Of course, that’s what they said, but in fact the most crucial person is Wei Yang. Wei Yang is the person in charge of Emerald Shrimp, and he has the final say on who comes in and who goes out.

Among the newcomers today, one has a good relative who has already been selected to enter the market to make money, while the other one is not very interested, but mainly wants to make connections and have a mistress, so it doesn't matter whether he enters or not.

The most active one is actually the one in the jade business. He not only wants to make money, but also wants to establish a relationship with Wei Yang and possibly have cooperation in other areas.

So after the party, he lingered on, planning to have a private chat with Wei Yang.

Wei Yang did not refuse and originally wanted Rouba to leave, but the latter looked at the twins who were still following him and pretended to be stupid and refused to leave.

We booked a small private room and had a detailed chat. It turned out that the other party not only wanted to invest in film and television, but was also planning to create a jewelry brand and wanted to work with Blue Whale on various aspects including endorsements, catwalks, product placement, and advertising.

It is extremely difficult for a new brand like this to make a name for itself. It would definitely be a good move if it could cooperate with the Blue Whale, which has a strong momentum.

Wei Yang had no reason to refuse such a partner that came to his doorstep, but he did not agree immediately as he still needed to do some background checks later.

Moreover, in this situation, Blue Whale has more initiative, which is somewhat different from general business cooperation, and many terms and details also need to be adjusted.

This was the normal procedure, and the jade tycoon understood it very well. He took a look at the motionless meat stick following Wei Yang and realized that the twins were obviously of no use. Fortunately, he had made other preparations and gave him a few boxes before he left.

Wei Yang took a look at the box, which contained some jewelry such as jade and gems, as well as bracelets, necklaces, earrings, hairpins and so on.

The jade looked quite transparent, so it must be of good quality, but Wei Yang had no idea how much it was worth.

But since it's a gift, it won't be too cheap, and of course it can't be too expensive. After all, the other person is seeking wealth, and there's no sign yet, so they won't throw in millions as a gift.

Wei Yang picked out two bracelets, one for his mother and one for his aunt, and a necklace and earrings for Liu Shishi and Xiao Zhao, as well as a ruby ​​hairpin...

He turned around and took a look at the jewelry, his eyes sparkling, and he stuffed it directly into her hand.

"Here you go, there you go."

"No, it's too expensive."

Rouba was too embarrassed to accept and kept refusing. Wei Yang waved his hand nonchalantly: "I can't let you be my female companion for free. The previous times as well, just treat it as overtime pay."

Blue Whale and other female artists have basically served as Wei Yang's female companions.

However, Wei Yang was reluctant to bring Xiao Zhao along on some occasions, as Nazha was too busy with her celebrity status, and Zhao Ji's personality was not suitable for being a female companion. Rouba was clever and had good eyesight, and had relatively free schedule, so she was Wei Yang's female companion the most often.

Don't think that being a female companion means following Wei Yang to eat, drink and see the world.

This may be the case in some occasions, but in other occasions it is more important. We must pay attention to all aspects to avoid embarrassing Wei Yang. It is not an easy task, and it is not excessive to give some "overtime pay".

"Thank you, boss."

Rouba held the hairpin and smiled happily.

The ruby ​​on it is bright and eye-catching, and looks to be of considerable value, not to mention that it is a gift for Wei Yang.

Considering Boss Wei's wealth and status, this thing would have to cost at least tens of thousands of dollars, if not six figures. Otherwise, giving someone jewelry worth a few thousand dollars as a gift while asking for something in return would be a bit insulting.

However, what made Rouba happiest was not the price. She was no longer an unknown person, and tens of thousands of dollars were nothing to her.

What made her happiest was that this hairpin was given to her by Wei Yang. Even if it was nominally overtime pay, it was still a piece of jewelry.

On the way back, Rouba held the hairpin in his hand and looked at it with great interest, occasionally secretly glancing at Wei Yang, wondering if he could naturally kiss the boss if he pretended to be happy .

Of course Wei Yang felt Rouba's little movement, but he had no idea what this girl was thinking.

The pay given by the company is not low. Is it necessary for a little hairpin to be so happy?

Could it be that I was mistaken? This was not an ordinary ruby, but some kind of Grandpa Red or Grand Milk Red, a top-grade gem worth tens of millions? Wei Yang muttered to himself, but he had no intention of buying it back.

Just kidding, Boss Wei's words are real, let alone 10 million, even 100 million...

I don’t know if this girl is willing to split the profits equally. If not, she can sacrifice her looks and give him 20%! On the way back to the hotel, the official Weibo account of Joy of Life finally released the makeup photos of the actors for the second season.

Almost all the original cast members from the first season were retained, except for the role of Yan Bingyun. Because the lead actor from the first season was taking part in a movie and was unable to coordinate his schedule, he clearly expressed his withdrawal, so he was replaced by Wei Qianxiang, a classmate of Wei Yang.

Even though the first season of Joy of Life was so popular, the original cast was still retained, which is extremely difficult.

It's not just about coordinating the schedules of these actors whose popularity is rising, but more importantly, it's about preventing some people from taking advantage of the situation.

In this kind of series, some role changes are often not due to special force majeure factors, but are replaced by people with connections.

If a famous actor with good audience appeal cannot be replaced, then pick one with no background or backing, and then add some drama to the cast. This is considered a normal practice.

"Joy of Life 2" naturally encountered this situation as well, but it was all pushed back by Wei Yang.

In the play, Fan Xian fights for "just a guard". Boss Wei is not that great, but he will not lose his bottom line and reputation for "just a supporting role".

Although it has been heard for a long time that "Joy of Life" will have the original cast, the announcement of the actors and actresses still makes fans excited. At the same time, what attracts more attention are the newly added actors and characters.

Only the second season has been announced so far, and the third season has not yet been fully confirmed, but it also has many highlights.

The female characters include the eldest prince's wife, who is also the princess of Northern Qi, played by Tong Yaya, the empress played by Mei Ting, the noble concubine Yi is played by Yan Danchen, Wang Qinian's wife, Madam Wang, is played by Hu Jing, and Yuan Meng, the subordinate of the second prince, is played by Wang Ou...

The male characters include Qiao Zhenyu as the eldest prince, Kaixin Mahua and other creators as Fan Xian's student, Wang Luoyong as Ye Liuyun, Jin Shijie as Si Gu Jian, and Ni Dahong as the villain Qin family patriarch...

As for the actor who will play Ku He, it has not been announced yet. Wei Yang is currently in the process of public relations for Zhang Guoli. The character he plays, Cheng Kun, is kind-hearted yet ruthless, which is exactly the Ku He in Wei Yang's mind.

He had talked about it before at the LeTV celebration, and the other party was a little hesitant. Wei Yang planned to wait and find someone else if it didn't work out.

Some of these roles are supporting roles, and some are semi-guest appearances.

"Joy of Life" was very popular, and some popular young actors and actresses and famous artists were willing to show their faces in the drama. There were even so many big names making guest appearances that the so-called ranking was not a big deal.

This is the influence of a super IP. Wei Yang is thinking about the third season, maybe he can squeeze in some more big names...
