10,000 meters in the sky, first class cabin of an international flight Wei Yang sat in the first class cabin, flipping through the book in his hand leisurely. The uniformed stewardess brought him a glass of water with a sweet smile and eyes full of autumn water.
"Mr. Wei, your water."
"Thanks."
Wei Yang nodded in greeting and took the water cup. The stewardess looked at that dazzlingly handsome face several times with nostalgia, but due to the rules, she couldn't talk for long and could only leave, looking back every three steps.
Gao Yuanyuan, who witnessed everything from across the aisle, put down his headphones and couldn't help but tease, "He's worthy of being the national husband. This is the fifth time. He delivers water, fruit, blankets, and reminders. One person at a time. They line up and take turns."
Wei Yang took two sips of water and was very calm. After so many years of debut and flying in the sky all the time, this kind of situation is nothing new to him.
In his early years, when he was not yet famous, stewardesses left him little notes just because of his handsome face. Later, when he became famous, he received more and more notes.
But when he became a superstar and his wealth soared, there were fewer notes, because those who didn't have some capital didn't dare to come and "bring humiliation upon themselves."
But just because I don’t dare to pass a note easily doesn’t mean I don’t dare to come over to see my male idol. I can take advantage of the opportunity to give him water or gifts as a reminder and come over to have a look at him.
Not to mention daydreaming about falling in love with him, but if you look at your male god a few more times and interact with him for a few words, you can brag about it to your girlfriends when you go back.
There are quite a few flight attendants on a flight. If you don't eat alone, you will be hated, so you just draw lots and take turns to show your courtesy.
They come every ten minutes or half an hour, and are polite, caring, attentive and gentle. The flight attendants are not bad looking, and are basically not annoying. If they notice something is wrong, the service industry is discerning and will terminate the call immediately.
In fact, Gao Yuanyuan has also had these experiences. After all, she is a big star, and she has some stewardess fans who like her.
But there were only two or three people coming on each flight, and the scene was definitely not as exaggerated as Wei Yang's. This was not really taking a plane. I would have thought that the leaders of Air China came to inspect.
No, the leaders of Air China are not that awesome!
When the flight attendant meets the boss, she is at most respectful and professional. But it is not like when she meets Wei Yang. Her every move is full of tricks, her eyes are hooked, and her voice is sweetened several times.
"Hey, is there a little note?"
Gao Yuanyuan was probably bored on the plane and had to gossip with Wei Yang. Boss Wei spread his hands.
"I have always kept myself clean..."
Before she finished speaking, Gao Yuanyuan almost rolled her eyes, but she was considerate of Boss Wei's status and did not show it too obviously. She then hummed a few words with unclear meanings.
"hehe."
If we talk about the most promiscuous scumbag in the entertainment industry, Wei Yang is far from being one of them. Although he is a scumbag, he is not bad, and his spending is not outrageous.
How many scumbags has Boss Wei had in total? Some scumbags are so numerous that they can easily have dozens of scumbags, not to mention being a groom every day for a year.
Is Boss Wei dating multiple women? He would date several women during the filming of a movie, break up with them after the filming is finished, and then date a few more women in the next movie.
What's even worse is that some people not only abuse other people's women, but also defraud them of their money and resources. All kinds of messy operations are outrageous.
Compared with these scumbags, Boss Wei is simply a simple and good man.
However, although Boss Wei has a small number of girlfriends, his rumored girlfriends are of high quality and he is very famous, so he is not the most promiscuous scumbag in the entertainment industry, but he is definitely one of the most famous.
From this point of view, Boss Wei is at a great disadvantage. He made relatively few mistakes compared to other scumbags, but he received the most scolding and contempt among all other scumbags.
Wei Yang was very hurt and ignored Gao Yuanyuan, reading a book by himself. He ignored others, but the bored Gao Yuanyuan got excited with him instead.
"Boss Wei, I was reading in the waiting room just now. What book are you reading?"
Wei Yang gave her the cover of the book - "The Invisible New World".
"Is this... a novel?"
Gao Yuanyuan was a little confused. Wei Yang took the book back and explained casually, "It's a book about management, to kill time."
"Oh, no wonder you can make money, the big guys are really learning."
Gao Yuanyuan was full of admiration. She was one of the few actors who was not trained as a professional. She studied secretarial studies in college and once wanted to be a white-collar worker, but she became very popular in commercials and later entered the film and television industry.
However, although Gao Yuanyuan herself is not a talented woman, she was born into an intellectual family and has a filter for talented people.
Back then, she was obsessed with the famous musician Zhang Yadong and had a crush on him for many years.
Later, I don’t know if she was hit or if she was too old, but she fell in love with the little wolf dog from Taiwan, and she started a sister-brother relationship with Mark Chao.
Gao Yuanyuan has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and it is common to see her working hard and conscientiously, but it is rare to see someone holding this book and studying.
Not to mention Wei Yang's status and wealth. The efforts during the period of promotion and the efforts after success are two completely different things. The former may be more hard work, but the latter is more valuable.
"Look blindly."
Wei Yang said modestly that he was not trying to show off but was "forced to do so".
Although Wei Yang was considered a successful person in his previous life, he was actually just a well-known screenwriter and an executive of a medium-sized company. In other words, he was just a middle or senior level cadre of the current Blue Whale, or maybe even slightly worse.
Therefore, the experiences Wei Yang had in his previous life might be enough for him to start his business, but as his business grew bigger, it was no longer sufficient.
Wei Yang's current achievements are in many ways the result of tricks, such as using cheats to seize the initiative and then taking advantage of the general trend.
To put it bluntly, it is the lucky pig standing on the wind.
Therefore, as Wei Yang's status became higher and higher, and his wealth increased, even to a level that he could hardly look up to in his previous life, Boss Wei realized that his shortcomings had reached a point where he could not wait any longer, and naturally he had to recharge and learn.
Especially in the past two years, Boss Wei has been reading books all the time, and in his spare time, he has been seriously studying economic management and other knowledge.
I don't need to seek to gain a comprehensive understanding and become a business genius, but at least I cannot be fooled by those below me.
Airplanes, high-speed trains and car rides are all long-distance and relatively quiet, allowing him to read books in peace and go to sleep when he is tired.
If I were at home, I could watch it, but I always couldn't help playing with my phone or computer, or there would be vixen teasing and disturbing me, which deviated my concentration on studying.
There was no way. Wei Yang was not a top student. Otherwise, why would he apply to the literature department of Shanghai Theatre Academy? Wouldn't the Chinese department of Peking University be better? Wei Yang was absorbed in reading and chatting idly. Gao Yuanyuan could sense Wei Yang's perfunctory attitude and took the initiative to find an excuse to end the conversation.
"I want to learn from you, too. Do you have any books? Give me one."
Yes, but they are all in the luggage or with the assistant. Wei Yang only has two books, one is about economic management, and the other one...
Gao Yuanyuan took the book in her hand and was stunned for a moment: "The World's High-end Luxury Atlas, what are you looking at this for?"
Boss Wei makes no secret of his nouveau riche identity. As his money grows, he not only has to learn how to manage wealth and capital, but also how to spend money.
I swear to God, he was a town boy who had barely managed to buy a house and a car in Shanghai in his previous life, so he wasn't short of money. But it's nonsense to say that he enjoyed a luxurious life.
Originally, Wei Yang spent money in a simple way, hoarding houses and investing, but now the house deeds in his cabinet are almost full, and his investments are managed by a special team and company.
Sometimes I really don’t know how to spend the remaining money. I have to study hard, otherwise I will earn money but not be able to spend it, and then I will have no motivation to work hard.
Gao Yuanyuan: “…”
I am just a bad mouth. Why don't you just read the book? It's unnecessary to ask such a question...
…
It only takes more than three hours to fly from Shanghai to Bangkok, Thailand. Taking into account the time difference, it is already afternoon time when you get off the plane.
Wei Yang was not hungry after having his meal on the plane, so he split his team into two groups. One group went to the hotel, while the others strolled around the airport.
At the beginning of "Detective Chinatown", there is a plot where Tang Ren picks up the male protagonist Qin Feng at the airport. The scene needs to be shot at the Thailand airport. Today is a good opportunity to see if this airport is suitable.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Following behind Wei Yang were two young men, one slightly plump and the other thin. Neither of them was very old, and their expressions showed a bit of nervousness and excitement.
Even until now, the two are still a little confused and don't understand how they became the directors of "Detective Chinatown 3".
"How do you feel?"
Wei Yang, wearing a mask and a baseball cap, walked around and asked. He was somewhat famous in Southeast Asia, and there were many Chinese tourists here, so to be on the safe side, he concealed his identity to some extent.
"This space is pretty good. We can stay here when the time comes..."
The two men looked at each other and realized that Wei Yang had some thoughts to ponder, so they expressed their own ideas and the other one helped to supplement them.
After listening to this, Wei Yang nodded and simulated the shooting scene and pictures in his mind. He was quite satisfied.
Although they are young, lack experience, and are somewhat green in filming movies and TV shows, they are very talented and are the tools that meet his requirements.
"Let's go back to the hotel and rest first. I'll take you to try authentic Thai food and massage in the evening."
"Thank you, Mr. Wei."
The two men's eyes lit up, not because of the fancy dinner and massage, well, that was a little bit too, but more of it was the affirmation from Boss Wei.
Although his position as director is not completely secure, it is still a good thing.
These two young men were none other than the later leading directors of Happy Twist - Yan Fei/Peng Damo.
Happy Twist will be the backbone of comedy and even Chinese-language films in the future, with frequent hits. The ace Shen Teng has made an indispensable contribution, but Yan Fei/Peng Damo behind him has also made great contributions.
One of these two is Shen Teng’s junior, who graduated from the Military Art Academy and is also considered a backbone of Happy Twist in its early and middle stages.
Another one graduated from Beijing Film Academy and was also a drama director. Later, he saw a drama performed by Happy Twist and was quite inspired. He joined Happy Twist and soon became Yan Fei's partner.
When Happy Twist was on the rise, these two people took on almost all of the directing work.
From early dramas, to mid-term sketches, to later movies, the two have always belonged to the core creative circle, and most of Happy Twist's best-reviewed works are from the hands of these two.
In Wei Yang's opinion, although Shen Teng is strong, he is not as strong as Stephen Chow, who can create a system by himself and directly support the entire movie.
He needs strong teamwork.
If he cooperates well, he can contribute masterpieces like "Charlotte's Troubles" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City", otherwise he will just produce vulgar skit-style comedies, which will be criticized as running out of ideas.
There is no doubt that Yan Fei and Peng Damo are Shen Teng’s best partners, and the two are the backbone of Happy Twist. "Happy Twist projects that are not participated by the two are often unsatisfactory, or even a mess.
Wei Yang still admires these two people very much. Even though the success of Happy Twist does not entirely depend on them, Boss Wei still recognizes their talents.
For "Detective Chinatown 3", Wei Yang asked the two of them to be co-directors, mainly responsible for the comedy aspect. There is also a senior assistant director from Blue Whale who is responsible for shooting, so there are three directors in total.
As the producer, Wei Yang takes charge of the overall situation and is responsible for the shooting of suspense and reasoning aspects.
As a well-known mystery novel author (the Zijin Chen trilogy), a mature screenwriter of criminal investigation dramas (Criminal Police), and a talented director who has carried forward the comedy + suspense genre (Famous), Boss Wei has some experience in shooting mystery and suspense themes.
This combination is actually very similar to the previous "Time Raiders", both of which are relatively good new directors, and Wei Yang is the supervisor behind the scenes.
In this way, Boss Wei has control over the crew, has powerful tools at his disposal, and even gets a good reputation as a person who likes to support new directors.
And this group of "tools" are even happier, because not only can they learn things from Boss Wei, but they also have a solid resume, which means they're making a lot of money.
Take the two new directors of "Time Raiders" as an example, the film was completed only a few months ago.
Su Lun joined a large crew as an executive director. Tian Hanyu was appreciated by Boss Wei, who gave him a certain amount of investment and made a new movie, which seemed to be a story about exes. Li Jiahang was one of the leading actors.
With so many benefits, one can imagine how eager those new directors are to be called by Boss Wei.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is not difficult for Boss Wei to recruit Yan and Peng now.
No matter how good Happy Twist is, it is still far inferior to Blue Whale. Moreover, even if they join Blue Whale, it does not mean they cannot cooperate with Happy Twist.
Even in their minds, they thought that if they performed well and received recognition from Boss Wei, they could help match Happy Twist with Boss Wei and see if there was any opportunity for cooperation.
The two have joined Happy Twist for many years, especially Yan Fei, who has deep feelings for the company and has participated in the creation of many dramas.
He really hopes to adapt the plays they created into movies for more audiences to enjoy.
The two of them cheered each other up silently, hoping to impress Boss Wei, but they didn't know that Boss Wei was waiting for them.
No one knows better than him how bright the future prospects of Happy Twist are. Even though there were various criticisms later, it is still an indispensable force.
How could Boss Wei not have any ideas about it? He just lacked a suitable opportunity.
Yan Fei and Peng Damu only wanted to attract some investment, but in Boss Wei's mind, he had already figured out how to take over Happy Twist, or at least acquire a considerable portion of the shares, so that the future of Blue Whale's comedy film business would not be a problem.
As long as the two of them open their mouths, the helpful Boss Wei will immediately lend a helping hand, giving money and people...
