Nightclub, private room

Three girls in small suspenders and tight skirts were dancing in a seductive manner. Director Zheng hugged two girls who were also dressed coolly and shouted with a red face.

"Our play must promote positive energy!"

"Mr. Zheng is absolutely right."

Wei Yang's face was full of admiration and he clapped his hands. After some contact and probing, he had a general idea of ​​Mr. Zheng's style.

Three words are enough to sum it up - coal boss!

Mr. Zheng's name is Zheng Guang. Just from his name, you can tell that he is very good at making money. It is said that he contracted a coal mine in the late 1980s and expanded its scale in the following ten years. He is worth tens of billions.

Wei Yang had no idea whether his wealth was exaggerated or not, but thinking about the stretched Lincoln car they had just taken to the nightclub, he could still see his strength.

Ordinary rich people wouldn't dare to be so showy in Shanghai!

At present, the mainland film and television industry is booming, and many coal bosses have followed suit, including Mr. Zheng.

Unlike most coal bosses who only care about investing money, Mr. Zheng is more particular. He poached several knowledgeable executives and established a film and television company in February this year. He even paid a large sum of money to invite Liu Junjie to join the company as the art director.

"The Best of Us" is the first project prepared and produced by Blue Whale since its establishment.

From this point of view, Wei Yang felt that he was still very lucky.

In his previous life, he started too late. By the time he managed to make it in the circle, almost all the coal bosses were out, and those that were still there had basically transformed into regular film and television companies.

Therefore, Wei Yang could only curse those bastards from the real estate and Internet industries while listening with envy to his predecessors telling about the glorious deeds of massaging the feet of coal bosses while discussing scripts.

Unexpectedly, after being reborn, he also experienced being the coal boss.

The payment for the manuscript was quick, and there were also entertainment activities. Needless to say, it was really nice to hug a girl and talk about the script...

"Mr. Zheng, Director Liu, and Mr. Sun, thank you all for giving me this opportunity. I am young, so it is inevitable that I may not be considerate in some ways. Please bear with me. I would like to offer you a toast."

Finding a chance, Wei Yang came over to toast and drank most of the glass of Remy Martin XO. Director Zheng's eyes lit up and he clapped and laughed.

"Okay, that's great. It's not a big deal. Come on, pour more. I'll accompany you for another one."

"Okay, I'll fill it up."

Wei Yang said nothing, and the girl next to him poured the wine with great tact. Wei Yang and Zheng Guang drank another glass, and also finished their cups.

“Good alcohol tolerance!”

This time Zheng Guang, Liu Junjie and Sun Wei were all stunned. Even the girls in the private room who were experienced in the bar scene looked up to this handsome young man.

XO is one of the grades of brandy, which are basically aged for more than ten years and have an alcohol content of more than 40 degrees.

The brandy glass has a wide belly and a narrow mouth, while the glasses in nightclubs are standard glasses with a capacity of 240 to 300 milliliters. Wei Yang just drank two glasses, even if it was only half of the amount, it would be about 4 taels, so two glasses would be 8 taels.

The key is not the amount, but to drink it all in one breath. Anyone who has ever drunk alcohol knows that drinking quickly is much more uncomfortable than drinking at a normal speed.

Not counting the liquor I drank just now, just these two glasses would make most people have to go to the toilet.

Wei Yang looked normal, except for his ears which were a little red, which were almost invisible in the dim light of the private room.

"Here comes the god of wine!"

There is no one in the business world who has not been to the drinking scene. In a situation like this, it is obvious that they have run into a tough guy. Some people become timid, while others become excited.

Zheng Guang was the latter. He stopped hugging the girls and just pulled Wei Yang to drink. Sun Wei and Liu Junjie joined in with great interest, and the girls cheered on the side.

Wei Yang actually doesn't like drinking. He thinks it tastes average and is not as good as drinks and dairy products, but he is born with a good alcohol tolerance.

When he was sixteen, he was urged by his relatives to drink for the first time and he knocked down five or six adults, becoming famous overnight.

After that, every New Year and festival, Wei Yang would be caught by his relatives, and a group of people would join forces to besiege him. In the end, he would defeat him and make him lose all his weapons. Some of them vomited, some fell down, some cried, and some even hugged telephone poles and kissed them, and even swore brotherhood by pulling their dogs.

Wei Yang himself was basically fine. The worst thing he felt was that he was a little sleepy. He found a place to take a short nap and woke up feeling refreshed.

In his previous life, he went to the hospital for a check-up and there was no special reason. The doctor inferred that it might be due to his personal constitution and that he metabolized alcohol quickly.

Wei Yang doesn't like drinking, and he doesn't like the so-called drinking table culture, but at the same time he must admit that it is indeed easier to get things done at the drinking table.

And a good alcohol tolerance makes him invincible!

"Mr. Zheng, I want to thank you for this. Really, I am especially grateful to you..."

"Director Liu, I won't say anything else. Just wait and see how I perform in the future..."

Since he wasn't spending his own money, Wei Yang picked up a bottle of Remy Martin XO and toasted everyone one by one with a glass in hand.

More than half an hour later, Director Zheng, with his eyes wide open, held Wei Yang tightly and muttered to himself.

"Brother, listen to me, you are a talented person, I like you so much, don't go to school, it's useless, come and work with me, I will pay you 10,000 a month and buy you a car..."

"Mr. Zheng, thank you for your kindness. You can ask me for help if you need me in the future. But I really can't drop out of school to work. My family doesn't agree. And I also like acting and would rather be an actor."

"Be an actor, be an actor, I will support you in the future."

Director Zheng was stunned, and slapped the girl's thigh next to him: "You play the leading role in this play."

At this moment, it was unknown whether the girl was cursing in her heart, but Zheng Guang’s big fat face was shining in Wei Yang’s eyes.

He even wanted to hug him and kiss him. No wonder they all like to hang out with coal bosses. They are so open-minded.

However, Wei Yang also knew that the one who had the final say in this play was not Mr. Zheng, but Liu Junjie and Blue Whale's general manager Xia Cong.

Mr. Zheng is a hands-off boss who only takes care of paying money, checking accounts, and sleeping with girls, and does not interfere in actual affairs.

But if they bypassed the two of them and let Director Zheng come in to do the casting, it would damage the prestige and rights of the two people, and it would be suspected of using power to bully others, which would indirectly cause Wei Yang to conflict with the two big guys.

More importantly, Mr. Zheng was talking drunkenly.

Who knows if he will change his mind after he sobers up? If Director Zheng denies his mistake and Wei Yang offends the other two, he will have no chance at all.

So Wei Yang did not agree with Zheng Guang's words, but instead lowered his attitude.

“I am very grateful to Director Zheng for his appreciation, but I am a newcomer after all, and my skills are limited. Our company is a newly established one, and it is the time to make great plans. You cannot mess up the plans because of me.

I am very grateful to you and Director Liu for letting me try. As for what role I will play, let's wait until after the audition and then slowly discuss it. We should prioritize the overall interests of the crew, and my personal interests are secondary."

Wei Yang's words neither damaged Zheng Guang's reputation nor disrespected Liu Junjie, which softened the latter's originally cold and hard expression.

Liu Junjie was a little unhappy about Mr. Zheng's casual promise just now. No one likes people with connections, especially those who infringe on their rights.

As a director, Liu Junjie has a lot of say in the casting of TV series.

Regardless of whether Wei Yang is suitable to play the male lead, according to the rules, Director Zheng should discuss it with him first, or at least inform him in advance. It is really an insult to Liu Junjie to directly decide on the role without asking for his opinion.

However, seeing that Wei Yang knew his limits and not only returned the initiative but also reconciled the situation for both parties, Liu Junjie couldn't help but look up to him.

"Xiao Wei is good, he has a vision."

Liu Junjie was silently thinking about which of the main roles in "The Best of Us" was more suitable for Wei Yang.

He had a good impression of Wei Yang. He was talented, polite, knew his place in the conversation, and spoke nicely.

Considering Wei Yang's appearance and the fact that he is the one who knows the script best, it would be understandable to give him the role of main creator if his acting skills were not so bad.

…

The group of people stayed in the nightclub until nearly 11 o'clock. Director Zheng and Liu Junjie both lay down. Sun Wei barely stayed awake, but he also felt unsteady when walking.

Apart from going to the toilet twice, Wei Yang did not do anything unusual. He cleaned up the mess with the driver and sent the three people to the car in a proper and considerate manner.

After waving goodbye to the driver, Wei Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I am pretending to be a grandson, I was not born in Rome. If I want to stand up and be a grandfather, I must first bend down and be a grandson...

After all, he was not a "real young man" who had just started out, so Wei Yang quickly prepared himself mentally and turned around to take a taxi back to school.

As soon as he turned around, he heard someone calling him in the nightclub. He turned around and saw a young woman in cheongsam, who enthusiastically handed him a business card.

"Hey man, I'm the manager of our nightclub. I heard everything just now. What a guy, he drank a thousand cups without getting drunk. He drank two bottles of Multimy Martin by himself.

We are in need of talents like you, and with your good looks, I'm not bragging, if you work with me, tens of thousands of dollars a month will be like a piece of cake.

If you don’t want to do this job, I have other options. If you take them, you can save decades of hard work.”

Wei Yang: “…”

Keep the business card for now, just in case it comes in handy someday...
