The recording time of the National Drama Festival was only one day away from the premiere ceremony of "Lost in Thailand". Wei Yang found an excuse and chose to support the latter.
Xu Zheng was particularly touched. He didn't expect that Boss Wei valued him so much.
In fact, Wei Yang chose "Lost in Thailand" on the one hand because he really valued it, and on the other hand because he wanted to avoid a Shura scene.
Normally, under Wei Yang's instructions, Blue Whale would usually communicate with Tang Ren regarding Xiao Zhao's activities to avoid direct conflict with Liu Shishi.
For example, at the last Golden Eagle Awards, Blue Whale Company organized an event for Xiao Zhao, and since she did not have any nominations, she successfully avoided the award.
Of course, Xiao Zhao probably knew about this, but he didn't say it clearly, and in most cases he just went with the flow.
She is not afraid of Liu Shishi, but Liu Shishi is more famous and popular, and she is the center of attention in many events. If she goes, she will just be a foil.
Taking the last Golden Eagle Awards as an example, Liu Shishi won all the awards, even Da Mimi became a supporting role, and there was nothing wrong with Xiao Zhao, so he ran over to get slapped in the face.
By the same token, if Liu Shishi knew that Xiao Zhao had any outstanding performance, she would find a way to avoid it. Everyone understands the disadvantages of playing away games.
Under such a tacit understanding, at least in the short term, the two parties will not meet directly unless there are special circumstances.
For example… the National Drama Festival! In an event like the National Drama Festival, there is no one winner. Basically, everyone has their own highlights, and the main point is to treat everyone equally.
It so happens that the National Opera Festival is not a small event and it likes to be lively, so it usually has to give some face.
What's more crucial is that last year the National Opera Festival held a ceremony for the Four Young Actresses in National Opera, which was quite successful, so they intend to increase the output and make special invitations, making it difficult to promote it even if they want to.
Even so, if Boss Wei insisted, it was not impossible to refuse the request to save face, but the key was that Liu and Zhao themselves agreed.
The two met formally here last year, and neither was satisfied with their performance.
This year, Liu Shishi won all the Golden Eagle Awards, Xiao Zhao has risen strongly, and has a hit drama to support her.
Both of them wanted to show off their achievements this year and suppress the other's arrogance.
So Liu Shishi accepted the invitation, and Xiao Zhao also made a request to the company team, specifically requesting to go to the National Opera to participate in the ceremony.
Wei Yang saw that the two men were trying to make a move and he couldn't stop them or it was difficult to stop them, so he hid and sent Li Jiahang to accompany and monitor them.
Li Jiahang spat trash into his phone for half an hour, but who could blame him for being so lenient?
Boss Wei's love and care from time to time is not free. If he doesn't step up at this moment, who will?
So, Wei Yang stayed in Shanghai waiting for the premiere of "Lost in Thailand".
Li Jiahang went to Beijing to participate in the National Drama Festival. In addition, there were two undercover agents, Tang Yan and Rouba, as well as staff from the two teams, who broadcast live from multiple locations.
At this time, Wei Yang was encouraging Xu Zheng to attend the premiere rehearsal and wait for the official premiere tomorrow, while chatting with several informants on his mobile phone to find out the battle situation.
Rouba: [Sister Liying didn't do anything except occasionally looking over there, but she seemed to be in a bad mood.]
Tang Yan: [I don’t know why, but Shi Shi seems to be annoyed by the new guy Jin Fu from Tang Ren]
Zhao's team undercover: [Sister Liying and Sister Shishi seemed to have bumped into each other when they entered the venue, but the details are unknown]
Liu's team undercover: [Teacher Yuan Hong seems to know about this, we suggest asking him]
Li Jiahang: [Everything is normal at present]
Wei Yang looked through WeChat, sent a message to Yuan Hong to inquire about the situation, and then cursed Li Jiahang as a waste in his heart.
Everyone else had information, but he was the only one who was fine! However, Wei Yang never used him as an undercover agent. Li Jiahang's advantage was that he would never betray him, always considered him, and could barely keep the situation under control.
If a fight breaks out between the two sides, the one who can talk to them at the same time and stabilize the situation is his Boss Wei's best brother.
Tang Yan can hold Liu Shishi, but not Xiao Zhao, and the same goes for Rouba.
Only Li Jiahang would not be given any face by either party because he represented Wei Yang.
Even though Li Jiahang always shouts that he is afraid of failure and being punished by his two sisters-in-law, he is the most stable one, a true Wei Yang die-hard and confidant...
…
Perhaps because the National Drama Festival had not yet begun, Yuan Hong had nothing to do and kept chatting with Wei Yang on WeChat, and even took the time to make a phone call.
From Yuan Hong, Wei Yang also roughly understood what had happened.
The two of them were secretly competing with each other, but as expected, Wei Yang didn't care.
Jinfu's affairs are not of great concern. A stupid person is hard to save. With Liu Shishi's status in the Tang people, she can be manipulated at will.
But when he heard the two people talking about traveling, his heart suddenly tightened. He was doomed. His secret was exposed.
Although everyone has a tacit understanding that out of sight, out of mind, a "big thing" like traveling abroad with another person should still be kept secret.
But when he is not filming, he would disappear for two weeks or half a month, and he would always find an excuse to appease and explain.
If this was exposed, lying + traveling with the other person, they wouldn't be exposed to death, but they would still be tormented for a while, and both of them would be tormented together.
Wei Yang got a headache just thinking about it. He wished he could go on the road show with "Lost in Thailand" and hide for half a month first...
Huang Bo put away his phone feeling tired. He could see that there was something wrong with Wei Yang's expression.
"Boss Wei, are you...unwell?"
Wei Yang waved his hand: "Family matters, a little annoying."
Huang Bo understood, although he was not sure what was going on, given his personality he would definitely not ask too many questions. Wei Yang, on the other hand, remembered something and started discussing it with Huang Bo with great interest.
In Wei Yang's impression, Huang Bo is not only known for his high emotional intelligence, but also very popular with women.
Although this liking and loving are two completely different things, it is still a real skill!
Although Wei Yang believed that he was good at speaking and had good emotional intelligence, and that he was incredibly popular with women, to be honest, his appearance did take a lot of the credit.
Although Huang Bo was born with deficiencies, he is still very versatile and it is worth Wei Yang's learning and exchange of ideas, perhaps they can learn from each other and make up for their weaknesses.
“…”
Huang Bo admires Wei Yang's spirit of hard work and dedication. No wonder he is so popular.
He is young, rich, handsome, talented, has high emotional intelligence and a prominent status, and most importantly, has a diligent attitude. If he were a woman, he probably wouldn't be able to resist such a man.
There is simply no way for these men with substance to survive!
If Huang Bo knew the following internet term, he would definitely give Wei Yang a suitable nickname - [渣卷]
Scumbag and curly!
However, despite feeling guilty, Huang Bo and Wei Yang were still very happy chatting.
Smart people like to communicate with smart people, not to mention when two smart people who are both smart like to be smart chat together. As soon as you open your mouth, I will start talking. It's so comfortable with the back and forth.

Xu Zheng is also a smart man, but perhaps because he has something to ask of him, or perhaps Wei Yang is personally prejudiced against him, he always feels that there is something calculating about him.
Moreover, shrewd and smooth are two different words. Not all smart people have Huang Bo's high emotional intelligence and communication skills.
Even Wei Yang, who has always been proud of his social and emotional intelligence, has to admit that Huang Bo is probably better than him in this aspect.
Because the latter is more approachable than him and can close the distance faster and better. In addition, he is a comedian and has a natural sense of humor. These are the aspects that Wei Yang does not have or is inferior to him.
Sure enough, someone who is able to thrive in the circle and is known for his good popularity and high emotional intelligence must not be a simple person.
Wei Yang had some dealings with Huang Bo before, but they were very superficial. This time, he had more contact with him because of "Lost in Thailand" and he had a lot of feelings.
Another person who made him feel emotional was Wang Baoqiang!
Wei Yang, Huang Bo and Xu Zheng are all well-known smart people in the circle, but in fact, this person is also a smart person.
However, he is a wise man who appears foolish. He does not show off his talents, but has inner wisdom. He treats people and does things with sincerity. He follows the upright and royal way. In some ways, he is wiser than Wei, Xu and Huang.
In fact, Wei Yang was much more familiar with Wang Baoqiang than Huang Bo. They had dealt with each other at least several times and even had meals together.
Every time they met, Wang Baoqiang would greet Wei Yang enthusiastically with his signature silly smile on his face.
The smile will not become brighter because of a higher status, nor will it be diminished for any other reason, as if it is always the same as when they first met.
This kind of personality may not be as likable as Huang Bo, but it is easier to trust sincerely...
Wei Yang and Huang Bo were chatting, and Wang Baoqiang was listening with a smile beside them, not interrupting much. When Huang Bo asked him with a smile if he was in love, he just shook his head in a simple manner.
"I'll learn how to coax my wife when I go back."
Wei Yang sighed in his heart, thinking about including that scene in the next filming of "Detective Chinatown" to see if he could give an advance reminder so that the sooner the better.
Wei Yang had mentioned the matter of "Detective Chinatown" before, and Wang Baoqiang agreed readily.
Wang Baoqiang was originally an artist of Huayi. He just went solo this year and set up his own studio, but he still has a close relationship with Huayi.
If it weren't for Wei Yang, Wang Baoqiang's next step would probably be to move closer to the Hong Kong circle, which really wants to transform and make some action movies.
However, with "Famous" exceeding 500 million yuan, Wei Yang's status in the film industry has been rising steadily, and his olive branch is not something that everyone can refuse.
Wei Yang hadn't even started to paint a big picture of the Tang Detective universe, but when he heard that it would be the second lead, which was roughly equivalent to a dual male lead, Wang Baoqiang nodded immediately.
Wei Yang is not surprised. Before Lost in Thailand, Wang Baoqiang was just so-so in the film industry.
They are basically supporting roles or low-budget movies. Except for one "Lost on Journey", there are almost no outstanding performances by the leading actors.
It is no exaggeration to say that many people think that Wei Yang's new movie, in which he was asked to play the second male lead, was a bit of a compliment to him.
Including Xu Zheng and Huang Bo, they were a little envious of Wang Baoqiang when they heard the invitation.
This was also what Wei Yang did on purpose. He didn't want to cheat Wang Baoqiang out of his pay. The amount was what it should be, but he took advantage of the time and information gap and invited him in advance.
After all, the invitations before and after the hit of "Lost in Thailand" have different weights in other people's minds.
In everyone's opinion, the box office volume of "Lost in Thailand" is only 200 to 300 million, which is far worse than Wei Yang's new movie.
Wei Yang invited Wang Baoqiang to act in his new movie at this time, which was an intentional promotion and a real respect for him. Wang couldn't help but feel grateful to Wei Yang.
When "Lost in Thailand" became a hit and the box office reached 1 billion, if Wei Yang invited him again at this time, perhaps in the eyes of many people, he was just trying to take advantage of the popularity of "Lost in Thailand" and Wang Baoqiang.
The same thing, the same approach, a few days before and after, but the results are very different. Wei Yang naturally has to do his best to show his favor.
Not only Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo also sent him a film contract and made a movie. Blue Whale will not only shoot movies for him, but also has so many scripts in hand, and will also make other films if the situation is appropriate.
It’s just that there is no artist to take the lead in Blue Whale, so they have to find someone else, and Huang Bo is a good candidate for cooperation.
The latter not only has "Lost in Thailand", but also "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" during the Spring Festival. He was once regarded as the actor with the strongest box office appeal in recent years.
But Huang Bo is not Wang Baoqiang. He is the Golden Horse Award winner and is very popular. He has many film contracts and a tight schedule.
In addition, this is not a movie in which Wei Yang personally participated or directed, so its appeal is not as strong as "Detective Chinatown", so it is just an intention and needs to be studied slowly later.
Even so, Huang Bo could feel Wei Yang's optimism and attention towards him, and expressed his gratitude.
That's enough! Wei Yang never thought that two film contracts would win people's hearts. Cooperation still depends on interests. It's enough to have a personal connection, seize the initiative, and make cooperation and viewing more convenient...
