However, Lao Cai’s concerns are not without reason. The risks of a subject like "The Witch" are too high.

Even now, people including Zhou Gongzi and Fan Xiaopang dare not say how much box office appeal they have. In the film market, the disadvantages of female stars are extremely obvious.

Chick flicks are one of the very few that can leverage the popularity and fame of the actresses to relatively achieve the goal of carrying the box office.

Even action movies are not popular nowadays, let alone action movies with female protagonists, which are the most unpopular among the unpopular.

Not to mention that although Liu Shishi has a good reputation for her fighting scenes, she is not a professional action actor. Apart from the support of her fans, the most critical ordinary audiences and movie fan groups probably won't buy it easily.

The estimated investment for this film is not low. If it is crowned as Liu Shishi's film debut, there will be a lot of people inside and outside the circle watching the fun.

In recent years, Liu Shishi has been very successful and her career has been on the rise, but she has also offended a large group of people.

Many people are willing to see her fall! Once the rhythm is set, even Wei Yang can't protect her, because the ones who want to see Liu Shishi fall the most are Zhao Liying and Fan Xiaopang. I'm afraid her good sisters Tang Yan and Da Mimi will also have ambiguous attitudes. Even if Wei Yang can help her defend against the open and secret attacks from outside, the backstabs from inside are no joke.

So Wei Yang meant that she should be more conservative first, shoot "Assassin 2" to be steady, and also test everyone's views on her action scenes.

If the results are good and the reputation is good, he can shoot "The Witch" next. Anyway, he has the script, so it is only a matter of time, so there is no need to rush.

Wei Yang is also an actor, and he understands very well that actors need passion and personal identification when filming.

You can only act well and be in good condition if you like a certain script and a certain role. If you are not very interested in the script and the role, you will get half the result with twice the effort.

If you have no choice, then that’s fine. But if you have a choice, try to take pictures of what you like.

As soon as Wei Yang spoke, the matter was basically settled.

Although Lao Cai feels that the drama "Assassin 2" fails to highlight Liu Shishi, she would like to make her the leading actress. But then again, for an actor, the most important thing in filming is to perform well, and the ranking is secondary.

Even if it is a movie with a strong female lead, no matter how many roles she plays, if the movie is not good, it will be a waste of effort.

With Liu Shishi's fame and status, there is no need for her to pursue a high ranking. Even if she plays a supporting role, no one dares to underestimate her.

Liu Shishi personally likes "Knife Identity 2", and Wei Yang is also quite optimistic about it. Lao Cai has some reservations about the former's opinion, but attaches great importance to the latter's opinion.

It's not just Boss Wei's status and strength, but also his well-known accurate vision in the circle.

Nine out of ten projects he is optimistic about are successful! Old Cai listened to Wei Yang's analysis of "Assassin 2" and silently raised the level of attention for this movie by two levels.

"What about 'Go Away Tumor'?"

Old Cai was still a little unwilling, Wei Yang smiled and said, "Then we can only change the cast. The director wanted to shoot last year, and I kept asking him to do it. We can't let him wait forever."

Although Han Yan is a new director, he has previous works and can be considered to have made a name for himself.

Wei Yang is willing to invest and can ask the other party to suspend the project, but he cannot keep it under wraps, otherwise they may look for another sponsor. Blue Whale is not the only one that has taken a fancy to this book.

"Who are you going to let play the role?"

Liu Shishi who was standing next to him suddenly asked a question. Wei Yang keenly sensed the murderous intent and swallowed his words.

"It depends on what the director and producer think. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have asked about this project."

Since it is a chick flick and the filming is not difficult, then family members will definitely be given priority.

Even if their box office appeal is not as good as Bai Baihe's, their popularity means their publicity and promotion will not be much different.

As for who would be chosen in the end, Wei Yang was not quite sure, but as long as it was those few people, it was definitely not what Liu Shishi wanted to see, so Wei Yang directly removed himself from the list, and in the end it was all the director and producer's fault.

Liu Shishi didn't say anything else, but Old Cai heard Wei Yang's subtext and looked at him with contempt.

Scumbag!

I didn't cheat on you!

Wei Yang showed no sign of weakness. It was okay for him to feel guilty in front of Liu Shishi, but that didn't mean he would accept other people pointing fingers at him from a moral high ground.

Do you really think Boss Wei has a good temper?! After reluctantly letting the Tangren people have a meal, Lao Cai wanted to stay a while longer, but was immediately driven away by Boss Wei in a sarcastic tone.

A short separation is better than a new marriage. The couple haven't seen each other for more than a month. Why are you acting like a third wheel here?

As soon as the annoying person left, Wei Yang wanted to take Liu Shishi to take a bath together, but she stopped him. She slapped her mischievous hands away and forced herself to be serious.

"Wait, let me tell you something serious."

"I can't wait, I have something important to do!"

Wei Yang was very confident. Today, Liu Shishi was at home, wearing a maroon knitted dress, which not only fit her figure well, but also made her skin look white. With her pure and gentle appearance, she was particularly attractive.

Perhaps it was because they had been apart for too long, or perhaps it was because of the nourishing food he had just sneaked into the bedroom to eat, Boss Wei was in a very good mood and had no intention of asking about the other things.

"Wait a moment."

Liu Shishi was so angry that she pinched him a few times before she finally calmed Boss Wei down.

After taking two deep breaths, Liu Shishi was afraid that Wei Yang could not bear it for much longer, so she quickly told him what happened.

"Old Cai came to discuss with me and wanted me to invest in Tangren."

Wei Yang paused for a moment after hearing this: "She hasn't given up on going public yet?"

Lao Cai has always wanted to take Tangren public. He has taken many actions before and even brought in capital institutions for financing, but the progress has not been smooth.

I heard before that Tangren had considered suspending its listing plan, but now Lao Cai is doing the celebrity shareholder thing again, and Wei Yang immediately saw that she was not reconciled.

The reason is very simple. Giving or selling shares to artists is to bind and win over the artists. The number will not be too large. Such a small number of shares have no actual rights and it is difficult to cash out if they are not listed, which is like chicken ribs.

Therefore, Tangren wants to use shares to retain a few popular artists. It is not just about giving them shares, but also about letting them see the hope of cashing out through listing.

"Lao Cai did say that, but this time, she not only wants me to buy shares, but also wants me to become a major shareholder."

Wei Yang raised his eyebrows and wondered why Liu Shishi was discussing the issue of investing in Tangren with him so seriously.

The rumor that Tangren wanted Liu Shishi to invest in the company has been around for a long time, even before Hu Ge, the number one man in Tangren.

She had discussed this with Wei Yang before. Tangren was not doing well at the moment, and she was becoming more and more famous, so some temples were too small to support a big Buddha.

Given Liu Shishi's current situation, she can open her own studio. With Wei Yang around, she will not lack for her resources. If she really becomes a shareholder of Tangren, she will not be able to leave without a reason.

So no matter how many times Lao Cai invited her, Liu Shishi always found excuses to decline. She decided to leave Tangren when her contract expired in 2016.

Perhaps many people think that Liu Shishi is stupid to do this. After all, she is the top lady in the company and has made great contributions to Tangren. She is qualified to get shares and it doesn't matter whether she leaves or not.

But Liu Shishi felt that she didn't need the money and would rather suffer a little loss. There was no interest involved between the two parties, so she could just leave.

But now he suddenly changed his tone. Based on Wei Yang's understanding of Liu Shishi, it was probably that Old Cai had contributed a lot to this.

According to Liu Shishi, becoming an important shareholder of Tangren is not something that can be achieved by simply owning a few tenths of a percent or a single-digit percent of shares. It completely goes against the normal practice of entertainment companies to win over and bind artists.

Therefore, in Wei Yang's opinion, Lao Cai persuaded Liu Shishi to invest this time, not so much to bind the celebrity shareholder, but rather to say that Lao Cai wanted to raise funds from Liu Shishi.

To be more precise, it was through Liu Shishi that Wei Yang obtained financing and resource support.

Liu Shishi has a considerable amount of funds in her own private treasury, which is estimated to be enough to cope with the financing funds. However, financing is not just about funds. The key is the various resources behind it. Liu Shishi does not have these, but Wei Yang does.

Once Liu Shishi becomes a shareholder of Tangren, Wei Yang will provide some help even for Liu Shishi.

Old Cai had a very clever plan! Originally, Wei Yang was interested in investing in Tangren, but she stopped him because she was worried that she would invite a wolf into the house and be swallowed up by Wei Yang.

Later, Boss Wei owned PPTV and became a platform, so the possibility of a takeover became smaller. Tangren wanted to ask for investment, but Wei Yang already had several film and television companies including Blue Whale, Noon Sunshine, Ice Ocean, and Mixing, and was not very interested in the declining Tangren.

So Lao Cai started to take a roundabout approach, getting Liu Shishi to invest and become an important shareholder, thereby obtaining financial resources from Wei Yang.

I am working for your wife to save up her dowry, you can't just stand by and watch! And compared to Wei Yang, Old Cai believes in Liu Shishi's character.

Boss Wei may not be ungrateful, but as a mature businessman, he is decisive and ruthless. If Old Cai does not do a good job, Wei Yang will not sit idly by and watch his interests suffer. Even if he does not drive her out of office, he will take some measures.

But Liu Shishi obviously would not do so. Even if Wei Yang wanted to intervene, she would help stop him. She would not engage in acts of annexation and seizing power.

So the more Lao Cai thought about it, the more he felt that Liu Shishi was suitable to be an important shareholder of Tangren, and he wanted to bring her into the company.

However, Liu Shishi had already made up her mind to leave, and she let Old Cai talk nonsense and didn't bother to deal with these mundane matters. Now she suddenly relented...

Wei Yang stared at Liu Shishi, making the latter blush and feel guilty.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"If you hold these shares, regardless of whether you will pay compensation or not, Old Cai will trouble you a lot in the future. Aren't you most afraid of this kind of trouble?"

"Others find it troublesome, but Old Cai is my mentor and benefactor. Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today. I will repay a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude. No matter how troublesome it is, I will help you."

Liu Shishi explained clearly, but Wei Yang could still see the unnaturalness in her tone.

I'm afraid Liu Shishi changed her mind because of the stimulation from Zhao Liying!

Wei Yang knew that last year's breakup had been a big shock to Liu Shishi, not to mention Zhao Liying's meteoric rise afterwards, which had caused Liu Shishi's psychology to fluctuate.

In particular, Wei Yang's move to appoint Zhao Liying as deputy director of the television department was of particular significance and had a profound impact, not to mention that Da Mimi and Fan Xiaopang also started their own businesses.

Suddenly, like a spring breeze, everyone is drawn into the new track!

Not only have they achieved success as artists and actors, they have also started to look towards capital. Liu Shishi has always been a Buddhist, but she couldn't keep her composure this time.

After much stimulation, Liu Shishi felt that he could not just passively defend himself all the time and he had to do something.

But without her two best girlfriends to advise her, Liu Shishi was undecided about what to do. At this time, Lao Cai took advantage of the opportunity.

It’s just being a senior executive and starting a company. We can do that too!

If you want to trust me, then invest in Tangren. I'm the chairman and you're the vice chairman. I'll be the manager and you'll be the director. We'll work together to make the company bigger and stronger, create new glories, and beat those little bitches.

Liu Shishi is not stupid either. She knows that Lao Cai has his own little thoughts, but she also thinks this is an opportunity.

She knows her own personality. Being an artist is okay, but management or starting a business is too difficult. If she wants to achieve something in this area, cooperating with others is a good way.

Although Tangren is now on the decline, it still has its foundation and is still a well-known film and television company. Lao Cai is also capable, and if she helps with money and effort, Tangren may be able to produce new buds and help her surpass others.

In the final analysis, it was all my own fault! Wei Yang looked at Liu Shishi, who was staring at him eagerly, and finally nodded: "It's not impossible to invest..."

Before she could be happy, Wei Yang's next sentence came: "However, there are a few conditions."

"you say."

Liu Shishi was very happy. She knew very well that it was easy to become a shareholder of Tangren, but if Tangren really wanted to develop, it had to rely on Boss Wei. There was no free lunch in the world and demands were inevitable.

"First of all, your shares cannot be less than a certain percentage, and it's best if you are a major shareholder. I'm not running a charity. I'm just trying to help you, but your interests must be guaranteed."

One thing that must be made clear is that Wei Yang was helping Liu Shishi, not the Tang people. No matter how much Liu Shishi got, it would be a waste of time. But it was different for others.

"Second, you can't be a hands-off boss. I will introduce you to a senior executive who will be your spokesperson at Tangren."

One must be on guard against others and distinguish clearly between public and private matters. Wei Yang believes in Lao Cai, but necessary measures must be taken.

"Third, I hope that Lao Cai's husband will leave Tangren. He is not good enough in the entertainment industry. Tangren is worth investing in when Lao Cai is personally at the helm."

One of the main reasons for Tangren's decline in the later period was the change of its leader. Lao Cai retreated to the second line, her husband took over, and then Tangren went downhill.

Wei Yang didn’t know if there were any other inside stories here, but judging from the apparent situation, he had no confidence in his abilities.

If Mr. Cai wants to quit and retire, he should have made it known in advance. There is no need to waste our time.

Liu Shishi thought about it and realized that these were all very normal requests, so she readily agreed: "I will negotiate with Lao Cai."

Wei Yang nodded, then showed a wicked smile and picked him up: "Fourth, Vice President Liu has to sacrifice himself and sleep with me..."
