Magic City, Ningjing Oriental

"Director Ren, I didn't hire her. Her feud with Zhou Xingchi has nothing to do with me. But now she is filming for me. If she keeps complaining online, how can I explain to other investors if the movie loses money?"

"You shouldn't expose his past. If you ask me, if you know you have a dirty trick, you should just keep it to yourself. I really don't know what he is thinking as the boss."

"No matter what, she can point fingers at me and scold me online, and not let me say a word. Even if I am not a big shot, no one can bully me like this."

"I'm not saying this to you, but this is not Hong Kong. It's not Xiang's turn to be so overbearing."

"Forget about the wedding banquet. We are not the same kind of people. I have to give you face. Don't mention any apology. She should delete the Weibo first."

“…”

Wei Yang hung up the phone. Although he sounded angry like a firecracker, his face was calm.

Da Mi Mi was curious beside him: "What do you mean?"

"What else can I say? Just smooth things over."

Tang Yan sighed with emotion: "I underestimated them. They have received several calls. They even invited Mr. Lei and Mr. Ren from Shanghai Film Group."

"It's not all about my family connections. Some people don't want to see too much noise. After all, it also involves the return of the year, and they are also afraid that my image will be damaged."

Wei Yang is in the Shanghai circle, and the Xiang family also has certain roots in the Hong Kong circle. The two sides have been involved in various ways, and their friends can always get in touch with each other. As long as one party reveals some intention, there will be many people willing to help reconcile.

There are some things that no one cares about in private, but if they are brought out in the open, there will be trouble.

Wei Yang's fierce counterattack directly shocked the Xiang family.

In other words, someone realized that something was wrong and started to stop the matter, intending for both parties to keep a low profile and minimize the impact as much as possible.

So, the Xiang family bowed their heads, and Wei Yang also received various calls.

There were people who helped to intercede, and there were also people who advised Wei Yang to quit while he was ahead. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Wei Yang. We were just doing business well and making our own money. Why would we bother with a bunch of outdated old losers?

Of course, there are also powerful people, such as a coal boss, who directly told Wei Yang that he had something to talk about, and if it didn't work, he would send two people to Hong Kong.

Gangsters have so many enemies, it is normal for passers-by to encounter a dump truck...

This method is too radical and cannot reach that level. Wei Yang also has no intention of making a big enemy with the other party.

In fact, Boss Wei didn’t take this matter seriously before. If Xiang Tai hadn’t scolded him on Weibo, he would have ignored her at all.

Even Wei Yang was a little confused. He didn't expect that Xiang Tai would really dare to scold him. She probably thought he was one of those Hong Kong stars who allowed themselves to be bullied.

Wei Yang knew that exposing someone's past was not a good idea, but if he kept silent, no one would take him seriously in the future.

It's okay if it's excessive, who made him young! As I said before, Wei Yang is usually cunning and sly, and likes to act young and energetic when he encounters something.

Although the trick is old, it is indeed useful. You can't expect young people to be perfect in everything and not make any mistakes. You are all seniors, so you should give way to young people when encountering problems.

What, Wei Yang started from scratch?

Starting from scratch is also young people’s thing. Being able to do business does not mean being a good person.

He is not even 30 years old, and in many cases he is not even as old as some of the children of his peers. It is understandable that young people are lustful, impulsive and irritable.

In fact, Wanda's Mr. Wang also likes to use this trick, and he uses it more directly than Wei Yang. Not only is he young and impulsive, but he is also a bit reckless. Even if such a person makes a mistake, as long as the problem is not serious, what can you say about him?

Therefore, Wei Yang is not afraid of making trouble about this matter. Even if it gets out of hand, he can still smooth things over. How it ends is the other party's business.

Now that the Xiang family was willing to give in, Wei Yang did not force them. He just gave his attitude and saved face.

About half an hour later, Wei Yang was playing "Honor of Kings" with Da Mimi, and Tang Yan came over with her mobile phone.

"Xiang Tai deleted her Weibo account, and it's no longer trending on Weibo. She's really giving in."

"Um."

After a great defeat in the team battle, Wei Yang controlled Cheng Yaojin, who still had a little blood left, and ran back. His expression was still calm. However, Da Mimi had just died and was waiting to be resurrected. He would talk to her when he had time.

"What now?"

"It's very simple. Just keep waiting. After a few hours, if the Weibo post here is not deleted, they will call me personally, apologize implicitly, and exchange a few pleasantries. Then I will delete the Weibo post, and the matter will basically be over."

Tang Yan was surprised: "Is it that simple?"

"What do you think? You can forget about asking them to apologize publicly. They can't afford to lose face."

"Now they have no face to delete their Weibo posts."

"At least there is a fig leaf. I can explain to the public that I don't want to cause conflict or something like that. Those with ulterior motives can't hide it, but I can convince some people. A public apology is impossible. The worst that can happen is that I can just pretend to be dead. There is mediation from above, and there is no deadly enemy. I can't keep exposing their secrets."

"This is too cheap for her."

Tang Yan was a little dissatisfied. Xiang Tai's sarcastic words to Wei Yang were not polite, but in the end, everything was fine after she lowered her head.

"On the surface, it's over."

Cheng Yaojin was still killed. Wei Yang put down his phone and showed his usual kind smile on his face.

"But in fact, there is a long way to go. Doesn't his son want to get into the film and television industry? I'll find an opportunity to help take care of him. There's not much to talk about with the two old parents. Young people have more topics to talk about."

Da Mimi nodded: "It's the same taste, it's still that insidious dog... Da Shuaibi."

Under the gaze of Boss Wei, Da Mimi swallowed the rest of the words and forced a turn, but she still couldn't escape and was beaten up by Boss Wei, which also helped to relieve Shuijing's frustration of being pushed.

It was not until the evening that Wei Yang received a call from the Xiang family through an intermediary. It was Long Wu who called personally to express his apologies and also promised to come to the Magic City to make amends next time.

Different from his boasting in private, Wei Yang was also very polite on the phone. There was misunderstanding between his words and there was no acquaintance without fighting, blah blah.

They chatted for a few minutes until the end, when Long Wu mentioned Weibo, and Wei Yang readily agreed to delete it.

But he also mentioned Xiang Tai’s previous post attacking Stephen Chow, and said frankly that the two parties are currently cooperating and do not want to be affected by some disturbances, and hoped that he would give face.

This was not Wei Yang standing up for Stephen Chow. In essence, he was asking the Xiang family to make concessions in public to further consolidate his own face.

He told the outside world that he was trying to surrender to the Xiang family, and then he put aside his past grudges and settled the matter peacefully.

This condition was not very friendly to the Xiang family, but it was still within the acceptable range. After considering it, Long Wu nodded in agreement.

But half an hour later, Wei Yang realized that the other party was still playing a trick.

Xiang Tai did not delete the Weibo post, but directly cancelled the entire account.

This move has both advantages and disadvantages.

But for the Xiang family, deleting the previous Weibo posts not only means surrendering to Wei Yang, but also means bowing to Stephen Chow. The intention is too obvious.

On the contrary, it is better to cancel your account and quit the Internet directly. It may make a bigger fuss, but it will be easier to make up for it later, such as being caught in a crisis and feeling disheartened, etc.

And this matter has indeed caused quite a stir. Quitting the Internet to avoid the limelight will give an explanation to all parties.

"But this puts me on the spot."

Wei Yang could already imagine how the story would go down. A single sentence would force a Hong Kong gangster to quit the Internet. He would gain face and become more prominent.

A tall tree attracts the wind. The old guy Long Wu is not a pushover either. He is very skilled in the tactic of flattery and killing.

However, you still have to remember what you need to write in your notebook.

Boss Wei not only started to worry about his son, but he also started to think about whether he should make some moves on his daughter-in-law.

Because he was caught off guard by this incident, Wei Yang's Weibo post remained up overnight until he deleted it the next morning.

This matter has been discussed a lot in private, and many posts have been posted on Tieba, Tianya and Zhihu, but it has not even made it to the hot searches on Weibo, and the posts on the former platforms have subsequently been restricted.

But this has nothing to do with Wei Yang. He has just returned to China and the work he has on hand is not easy.

I have to squeeze in some time to spend a few days with Da Mimi and the others, so I don’t have time to take care of other things.

The reason why Wei Yang took time out to accompany the two of them this time was also because of Liu Shishi's situation. He had ignored them for a while before, and later when Liu Shishi came back from filming, he had to restrain himself. Therefore, as this opportunity was rare, he naturally had to stay a little longer.

…

Bang! Da Mimi walked in wearing high heels and got angry when she saw Tang Yan curled up in Wei Yang's arms, the two of them sitting on the sofa watching TV.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"What's wrong with Yang Tianzhen? He doesn't give you any work, and you just sit at home doing nothing every day with such a big fortune?"

"Who is idle? I am here to accompany him. If you are not here and I leave too, he will be so lonely."

Tang Yan smiled happily, it was not that she did not have any notice, but that there was no important work for the time being, so she could put it off or delay it. Because her situation was special, Yang Tianzhen generally did not care as long as nothing went wrong.

But Da Mimi is different.

Even though she is the big boss of Mixing Entertainment, the entire company depends on her because of this, and she has to be involved in many things. Her degree of freedom is actually not as high as Tang Yan's.

Da Mimi gritted her teeth in hatred, pulled Wei Yang and pushed Tang Yan aside, trying to monopolize Wei Yang's arms. Of course Tang Yan refused, and the two began to wrestle and play.

"Be honest."

Wei Yang patted Da Mimi and asked her to be calm, and the latter looked at him pitifully.

"Today I was discussing advertising with someone, negotiating contracts, looking at samples and factories, my legs are so thin, I got a share of the money I made, you should feel a little more sorry for me."

"Let me give you a massage."

Wei Yang began to massage her legs skillfully. People said Tang Yan had very good legs, but Da Mimi's legs were not bad either, they were well-proportioned, smooth, thin and long. When the two of them put their legs together, it was a feast for the eyes.

Tang Yan looked jealous, but she did not rush to compete for favor. Instead, she asked about the project.

"How's the ad going?"

"It's OK. They have very high requirements and need a lot of appearances, so the price is naturally not cheap."

"How many?"

"20 million."

"so much."

Tang Yan was a little surprised. This advertisement was just a product placement, but it could be priced so high. Boss Wei must be well-informed.

"Drugs or drinks?"

Da Mimi's eyes lit up: "You are so experienced. As for beverages, you mentioned before that the medicines are too complicated. We dare not touch ordinary brands."

"Drinks are also consumed, so be careful to verify them. I'll introduce you to a few people who have a deep understanding of the advertising industry. Don't touch anything they are not sure about."

"I understand."

Although Da Mimi loves money and has her own ideas, she is not the type of person who refuses to listen. Wei Yang is an expert in film and television production, so it will be a good idea for her to listen to his advice.

"One brand is 20 million, five is 100 million, the cost is directly recovered."

"What are you thinking? An advertisement of this size is already a big deal. There are not so many good things. I'll be thankful if I can get 50 million."

Da Mimi knew clearly that this order was quite rare and the price of implantation from other brands would never be so high.

"50 million is not bad, it's all for you. When the brands heard you were the lead, they were more enthusiastic than the others."

Tang Yan was a little envious, this kind of appeal was not something that ordinary people could have. Not only did one need high popularity and high exposure, but one also needed high commercial value and solid achievements. There were only a few such people in the entire entertainment industry.

No wonder Da Mimi has the courage to start her own company.

Even without Wei Yang's support, she can raise 50 million through advertising. Funding is not a problem for her.

Of course, if this project fails to meet expectations, it will probably be immediately reduced to its original state. Capital is sometimes enthusiastic and generous, but more often it is cold-blooded and ruthless.

So even if Da Mimi can raise money now, it doesn’t mean that every project will go smoothly.

She is not like Boss Wei who is a cheater, so it is safest to find a big backer, not to mention that Wei Yang can provide more than just money.

"If the script is finalized, you can contact Blue Whale and go the outsourcing route, while also hiring some people yourself. You don't have to build a production team, but you can't be without an experienced person to look after the site."

The approach of Da Mimi Company is similar to that of Fan Xiaopang. They provide fame and effort, while Wei Yang provides money and manpower, and they create film and television projects with Da Mimi as the core.

Compared to Fan Xiaopang’s big production, it started out as a costume drama with more than 90 episodes.

Da Mimi is more conservative and chose a script adapted from an online novel, which is a modern drama with relatively low cost and production difficulty. Maybe the return rate is not as high as "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang", but as long as it is handled well, it can also allow the new Mi Industry to gain a foothold.

To this end, Da Mimi also brought Tang Yan into the picture, not only letting her play a small supporting role as a favor, but also tricking her into investing 20 million yuan of her private money.

This is why Tang Yan is so concerned about the crew of Da Mimi Company. She is also hoping to make a small fortune following Boss Yang.

"Don't worry, I will keep your money and I won't be able to compensate you. Just wait and see how good life will be with me."

Da Mimi spoke in a very arrogant tone. Tang Yan snorted disdainfully and hugged Wei Yang's arm.

"It's not like I don't have a man. It's none of your business what I eat and drink. But..."

Tang Yan looked Da Mi Mi up and down with interest, her eyes dangerous: "If you compensate me, you have to pay me back honestly, and do whatever I tell you to do."

“Ahem.”

Before Da Mimi could jump up and retort, Wei Yang coughed first and then spoke.

"As another investor, I agree with Miss Tang's proposal. There should be a statement of whether it is a profit or a loss, and a reward and punishment system should be drawn up. If there is a profit, there will be a reward, and if there is a loss, there will be a punishment."

Da Mimi is very confident: "I know the punishment, what about the reward?"

Wei Yang pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, if you lose, you have to listen to Tangtang and not regret it. If you win, Tangtang will listen to you in return."

"What about you?"

Wei Yang said shamelessly: "I'll bear the pain and serve as a punishment tool."

Da Mimi: “…”

Tang Yan: “…”
