"Get lost."
Wei Yang kicked Yuan Hong in annoyance. Ever since the Forbes Rich List was exposed, he became the so-called "richest man in the entertainment industry". It would be fine for other people, but a few close friends would always make fun of him when they met.
Yuan Hong and Wei Yang are old friends. They knew each other well when Boss Wei was still a young man.
They have collaborated in dramas such as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" and "Twinkle Twinkle Star".
To some extent, Wei Yang's relationship with Yuan Hong is actually more solid than Hu Ge's.
It’s just that Hu Ge is more famous. In addition to their personal friendship, the two of them also have some business cooperation and more interactions, so they seem closer.
Therefore, Boss Wei is willing to support the other party from time to time. For example, in "Detective Chinatown", Yuan Hong played the role of a police spy.
Originally, Wei Yang wanted him to play Huang Landeng, the role played by Chen Chichi in the original version.
But after trying it out, it was found that Yuan Hong was not very good at comedy performance, so he chose Tian Yu, an internal artist of Blue Whale.
Teacher Wang’s comedic talent is beyond doubt, and Chen Chichi’s skills are really no match for him.
To be honest, the role of the police insider is a bit small, but Yuan Hong didn't mind it. The film resources he has access to are limited, so it's good to take advantage of the popularity.
Hu, Liu and Yuan are known as the "Three Treasures of the Tang Dynasty", but in fact Yuan Hong's status, fame and even resources are far from rivaling the first two.
But he has gotten used to it, and now even has a bit of a laissez-faire attitude.
In his previous life, Rong Xinda was known as "whoever leaves becomes famous", and he had lawsuits with many artists, but in fact, there are also many artists who have sued Tangren.
Lin Gengxin, Jinfu and Jin Chen all tore their papers rather ugly when they left, for various reasons.
On the contrary, people like Liu Shishi and Yuan Hong, who signed super long contracts and accompanied Tangren to the peak, had a good relationship and later broke up with the company peacefully.
Liu Shishi was seeking self-development, and Yuan Hong really couldn't stay there anymore. It couldn't be said that Tangren did anything wrong to him, but from his perspective, he had done his utmost to leave after his term expired.
This is also one of the reasons why Wei Yang looks at Hu Ge and Yuan Hong differently.
No matter what the two are thinking, or what their subjective and objective reasons are, as long as they remember the old friendship and get along well with their old employer, Boss Wei can still relatively recognize their character.
There was no way out. He was heartbroken by an artist named Lin. He thought he would get a different ending, but he turned out to be an ungrateful "wolf" who could never be tamed.
"Boss Wei."
"Teacher Wei."
Compared to their old friend Yuan Hong, the others did not have the courage to do so. They looked at Yuan Hong with envy, and most of them greeted Wei Yang obediently.
"Everyone, please sit down. There's a huge traffic jam outside. A few people haven't arrived yet. Please wait a moment."
Wei Yang came to the main seat and sat down. Today was the meeting of "Detective Chinatown". Most of the people who came were the main creators of the movie, and there were many familiar faces.
For example, Wang Baoqiang, one of the two male protagonists, came early today, and Wei Yang chatted with him more.
"How's the recording of 'Run' going?"
"It's OK. The first episode has been recorded. We will go to Wuzhen to record the second episode in a few days."
“What do you think of this show?”
"It was fun. Everyone had a lot of fun recording it. The content was also very interesting. I think the audience will like it."
Wang Baoqiang showed his signature silly grin, picked out some interesting recorded stories that he thought were good and talked to him about them. Wei Yang listened with a smile and nodded from time to time.
The recording of the "Running Man" program is very slow now, and the main reason is that it is still in the adjustment stage. After each episode is recorded, it is necessary to check for deficiencies and make further adjustments based on the problems exposed.
After all, the program has not been broadcast yet, so there is plenty of time to adjust. When it is broadcast later, the recording progress will be accelerated.
Wei Yang and Wang Baoqiang were chatting happily, and everyone present had different thoughts.
After Lost in Thailand, Wang Baoqiang and Wei Yang became very close and they collaborated on several projects in succession.
The variety show "Running Man", the movie series "Detective Chinatown 3", and I even heard that Xu Zheng is going to be looking for him for the sequel. Even the direct artists of Blue Whale don't have this treatment.
Fortunately, Wang Baoqiang is a man and his appearance is not impressive, otherwise I don’t know how the outside world would treat Boss Wei badly.
Even so, many people speculated that Wei Yang and Wang Baoqiang had a vested interest, and that Wang Baoqiang might have already joined his team like Da Mimi.
This is indeed a misunderstanding. How should I put it? The outside world still underestimates Wang Baoqiang's strength and appeal.
Wei Yang's choice to cooperate with Wang Baoqiang was simple: the latter was sufficiently indispensable.
The "囧 series" cannot avoid him, and there is no suitable replacement for Wei Yang in "Detective Chinatown 3".
On the contrary, "Running Man" is a preconceived idea, but in terms of status, Wang Baoqiang's joining is also very helpful to the program.
Even in the early days, "Running Man" relied heavily on Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang for exposure. Others such as Sha Yi and Chen Chichi were popular but not big enough.
But then again, with the cooperation on multiple high-quality projects and even the intention to create the "Detective Chinatown" series, it is impossible for Wang Baoqiang to remain indifferent, and he has gradually begun to move closer to Boss Wei.
It is hard to say whether they can become a family, but it is very likely that they will form a small circle of interests.
"Sorry, Mr. Wei, we are late."
"It's all right."
Chen Zhixi is the person who joined Wei Yang after "Lost in Thailand". Compared with Xu Zheng's independent attitude, Chen is much more decisive. He directly joined Blue Whale and is currently the deputy director of Blue Whale's film department.
Wei Yang still attaches great importance to this subordinate who is known as "China's No. 1 Female Producer".
In his previous life, he joined Ruyi Pictures, a company that was not well-known in its early days and was considered the godson of Guangxian. Later, it tied up with Chen and transformed into a film and television company. It had many money-making projects and was later acquired by Penguin Evergrande for 7.2 billion yuan.
There are many inside stories behind this acquisition, which will not be elaborated here, but what is certain is that Chen Zhixi, who has made great contributions to the rise of Ruyi, is indeed a rare talent.
As Blue Whale has grown, it has no shortage of talent in the field of TV dramas, but it still needs some elite talents in movies and variety shows.
Faced with the recruitment of Blue Whale, which is also a giant in the industry, Chen Zhixi, who had just emerged, had no reason to refuse.
It's so difficult to be an independent producer. It's hard to make a movie without a backer these days.

Compared with other film companies, Blue Whale started late, but it is coming on strong, and its core circle has not yet been fixed. It is a good time to make a big splash.
And Boss Wei did not disappoint her and directly made a big promise.
She is involved in the management of "Detective Chinatown" and the future "Lost in Hong Kong". If she does a good job, she will be able to become the director of the film department or even the vice president of related sectors.
According to the company regulations currently formulated by Blue Whale, once you reach the level of director of an important department, you are eligible to receive company shares as dividends.
Boss Wei also said that if outstanding contributions are made, the company will not rule out giving certain substantial stock rewards.
Even if Blue Whale is not listed, its subsidiaries are listed, and the shares therein can be exchanged, or a joint company can be established, or the listed company can acquire them for cash. Anyway, with many operations, the company will definitely be able to make a profit.
Now hot money is pouring into the entertainment industry and the competition has become unprecedentedly fierce. If you are not willing to spend money, you will be poached.
Boss Wei is under a lot of pressure. He has to take care of the food and drink of thousands of people as soon as he opens his eyes. He has to find ways to satisfy their needs for money, power, and love. He works so hard but only makes a few hundred million yuan. Is there still people who are jealous? "Boss Wei, let me introduce you to Lao Pan, Pan Yueming."
Chen Zhixi pulled Pan Yueming over to say hello. She was the producer of "Detective Chinatown" and had certain casting rights, so she recommended her old friend Pan Yueming.
She used to be Pan's agent and they had a good relationship. Last year, when Pan and Dong divorced, a lot of dirty water was thrown at Pan. She stood up for Pan, spoke up for him, and scolded Dong Bailian for being shameless.
This time, they even took the opportunity to get Pan Yueming into the "Detective Chinatown" project.
Playing a small role is secondary. The most important thing is to get close to Boss Wei so as to avoid being bullied by Dong and then get out of the quagmire.
"Teacher Pan, long time no see."
Wei Yang and Pan Yueming knew each other. They had met each other several times at some events before, but they were not very familiar with each other. Compared with his previous image of a handsome young man, Pan now looked much more decadent and even a little fat.
Thanks to Zhuo Wei, he did a good thing for once by exposing the kissing photos of Dong Bailian and the ugly star, which reversed the public opinion and at least prevented Pan from being scolded all the time.
Speaking of which, Pan Yueming can be regarded as the first generation victim of short essays.
In a way, Dong Bailian is even more hateful than her sister-in-law Lu.
Sister-in-law Lu is just a hairdresser at best, and her moral standards are not high, but at least she didn't harm Mr. Jia.
Dong Bailian was cruel enough. Not only did she cheat on her husband and get a divorce, she also threw all kinds of dirty water on her ex-husband, wanting to kill him. She almost ruined his career. She was a vicious woman, on par with Yao Dazui who also turned the tables, and second only to Ma Jinlian, who was the most cruel.
At this point, Wei Yang glanced at Wang Baoqiang. These two brothers seemed to be somewhat like brothers in distress.
In the original version, Chen Sicheng invited Pan Yueming to act in it. I don’t know if it was meant to remind his good brothers…
However, Wang Baoqiang, who is in the same boat with Pan Yueming, feels a little embarrassed when facing him.
The guy who hooked up with Dong Bailian played his brother in "Soldier Assault". They had a decent relationship. Now that he sees his victim, he can't help feeling guilty.
However, Pan Yueming's attitude is still good. He believes that every wrong has its perpetrator and he cannot blame others.
It's just that he is rather introverted, and since his divorce had not been long, he was still somewhat gloomy. After saying hello and exchanging a few pleasantries, he remained silent. It was still Chen Zhixi who would come to his rescue from time to time.
Although today is a meeting for the main creators, not all the people came. The main reason is that many people are filming or working, so they can't come.
But it doesn't matter. It's not a formal party. It's just a way for everyone to get to know each other before going abroad to start filming. It's not a requirement for everyone to be present.
After Pan Yueming, everyone thought no one had arrived and was getting ready to eat, but then someone hurriedly knocked on the door and came in, apologizing repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Even though there was a traffic jam today, and it was still late, everyone was still a little unhappy. However, when they saw the charming demeanor of the person who came, half of them calmed down. Some shameless people even stood up and offered their seats to others when they saw that there were no seats left.
Boss Wei was not that useless, but looking at the other party's pitiful appearance, he didn't say anything.
Who made her Gao Yuanyuan?
