"Director Hu."

Boss Wei was treated differently. Previous guests were basically hosted by students, and at most a teacher would come over to chat for a few minutes. But as soon as Boss Wei showed up, the vice president and the director of the performance department came over to greet him.

After a few pleasantries, Wei Yang wanted to visit his alma mater, but a teacher came hurriedly over.

"The dean heard that Wei Yang was here and was greeting him."

"Is it urgent?"

Long Xuetong still protected his students, thinking that since Wei Yang had just arrived, he should at least take a break. The teacher looked a little embarrassed and revealed something.

“Many leaders are here too.”

Wei Yang understood immediately. As the top art school in Shanghai, Shanghai Theatre Academy had a high reputation. Many people from official departments and local government offices came to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the school. When they learned that Wei Yang was coming, they would definitely want to meet him.

"Then let's go first and talk about other things later."

Wei Yang did not make things difficult for the leaders and teachers of his alma mater. He took the initiative to help out and was about to hand the thing in his hand to Li Jiahang when Rouba next to him took it obediently.

"I'll hold it for you."

"All right."

Wei Yang didn't hesitate. He greeted everyone and walked towards the podium with Long Xuetong and others. Then they saw him shaking hands with several middle-aged men from afar.

"Isn't that the deputy of the Demon City Yamen?"

Ren Quan is a businessman and has a lot of official dealings, so he vaguely recognized one person. As a representative of Shanghai's local artists, Hu Ge has also started to come into contact with some official publicity in the past two years and knows more people.

"Well, the one with a little gray hair is the person in charge of the Magic City's publicity department. The other two can hold a small meeting. The two in the middle should be from Beijing."

After hearing this, everyone had different thoughts. As popular artists, they had no shortage of opportunities to come into contact with some leaders, and they had seen leaders at higher levels than this before.

But having met and represented something, Boss Wei was able to come forward and have a relatively equal private conversation with them, chatting and laughing, while in the past they could only get a cordial greeting.

Li Jiahang was relatively calm. No matter how awesome he was, he was still his brother. He was the first to calm down and asked everyone to go to the venue and find seats first.

Because it was the school's anniversary event, there was no seating arrangement like at an award ceremony. Names were even posted on the backs of the chairs for fear of sitting in the wrong place. There were rows of chairs and whoever arrived first sat first.

There weren't many people here yet, and they didn't see any old classmates, so they just sat together.

Naza said innocently: "Can you save a seat for me... the boss?"

Everyone laughed, and Yuan Hong joked, "Boss Wei will be sitting on the podium in a while, so there's no need to fight with us for a seat."

That being said, when they actually arrived at the venue, everyone spontaneously reserved a seat for Wei Yang.

Originally, Li Jiahang wanted to sit next to him, and on the other side were the two beauties from Xinjiang Province, but Na Zha ended up sitting next to him, and Rouba moved to the other side, leaving a space between the two of them.

Li Jiahang: “…”

Sorry, he is shallow...

The event started at 10 a.m. Everyone wanted to meet their classmates or visit the school, so most people came early. People kept coming into the venue, and then the hotel bus arranged by the school arrived, making it even more lively.

Graduates of Shanghai Theatre Academy not only work in Shanghai, but those who come from other places can drive here by themselves, while those who come from other places mostly have to deal with accommodation issues.

Therefore, the school arranges hotels and chartered cars for pick-up and drop-off, which not only provides convenience but also helps some financially disadvantaged alumni.

Although most of the people invited to the school anniversary celebration are outstanding alumni who have made achievements, there are many types of outstanding alumni, some make money, and some have limited income. This measure can eliminate worries.

It was a lively place with many people, and everyone called their friends to get together and reminisce about their school days.

It's quite lively here at Li Jiahang's place. There's nothing you can do about it; there are a lot of famous people there, and they are basically the best performers in that class.

So, with them as the center, alumni from the classes of 1993, 2001, 2006 and 2010 came over to say hello, and some current students sneaked over to get autographs and take photos with the star seniors.

The class of 1993 has the largest number of people. After all, it has been a long time since graduation, almost twenty years now. Those who remain in the circle have basically made a name for themselves. There are also a few who changed careers and achieved some success in other fields.

Guli Nazha and Dilraba Dilmurat have very few classmates.

After all, they just graduated. Normally, people with their qualifications basically just act in acting roles. If they are lucky, they can play an important role, but very few of them can become famous.

Examples like the second beauties from Xinjiang Province, who became famous just in their freshman year and became top stars in just a few years, are rare in the 70-year history of Shanghai Theatre Academy.

Therefore, the majority of people surrounding them were their junior classmates. It just so happened that the two of them were quite popular among young people, which led to more and more autographs and photos with them.

The two were still signing until Wei Yang came back, and they were stuffed with a lot of snacks and small gifts.

“It tastes good.”

Wei Yang took a piece of beef jerky and tasted it, then looked at the bitter signature of the second beauty from Xinjiang Province with a smile on his face.

Then when the students recognized him, the area around the second beauty from Xinjiang Province cleared out and everyone ran towards him.

"Senior, please sign an autograph for me."

"Brother, let's take a photo together."

"Senior, I'm ranked second in my major, can I sign with Blue Whale?"

“…”

Wei Yang looked up at the girl who was talking and shook his head: "Blue Whale is not recruiting artists now. If you want to sign up, you can go to Coral."

This response did not disappoint everyone, but made it more lively

"So, senior, can you consider us for your new play?"

"Senior, I can endure hardships and play any role."

“…”

As a big name in the entertainment industry in Shanghai, he can call on his senior brother to build closer relations with him on this occasion. Naturally, the students are very enthusiastic. If they can get the chance, it would be a great deal.

Not to mention these students, even the many graduated artists standing nearby wanted to ask a few questions shamelessly.

"Alright, alright, we've almost finished signing. The event is about to start. Everyone should leave and return to their seats."

Due to the loud noise, several teachers came over to maintain order. Many students were relatively obedient. Those who were disobedient did not dare to make a scene when they saw Wei Yang and some famous senior students were there. They left obediently after being persuaded many times.

The alumni were not in a hurry to leave. They took some time out of their busy schedules to say hello to Boss Wei.

To be honest, when many people saw Wei Yang, the smiles on their faces were more affectionate than when they saw their old classmates.

After being busy for a while, it was finally quiet. Wei Yang loosened his collar and sat between the two beauties from Xinjiang Province, half complaining and half sighing.

“Everyone is so… enthusiastic.”

"Why are you here? There's no seat for you on the podium?"

"It was arranged, but I didn't go."

Wei Yang took a sip of water and looked at Na Zha strangely. What was the point of soaking so many wolfberries? Covering the mouth of the cup, Wei Yang explained: "These are all alumni. Everyone is sitting in the back. What's the point of me going to the rostrum? Besides, it's boring to accompany a bunch of old men. It's better to be here."

Wei Yang felt a bit guilty about what he said before. After all, although he was low-key at other times, he was willing to act pretentiously when returning to his alma mater, even if others would envy him.

But the latter part of the words are sincere. It’s glorious, but there’s really nothing to talk about with a bunch of old guys.

The key is that there are still many officials who need to be paid attention to all the time. Wei Yang was too tired to do so, so he just ran here.

With beauties accompanying him on both sides, people praising him all around, and brothers and friends chatting and gossiping with him, it was much more comfortable than being on the podium.

Although I missed an opportunity to show off, I have many opportunities today, so this one chance won’t hurt…

As they were talking, a bald man suddenly came over with a smile on his face: "Boss Wei, I'm sorry I came here so late. I was tripped over there just now."

When this person came over, everyone stood up to make way for him, but Wei Yang continued to sit and shook hands with him casually.

"I thought Director Xu didn't see me."

The person who came was Xu Zheng. Hearing this, his smile froze for a second, then he immediately recovered: "How could that be possible? I wanted to go there just now, but I ran into my homeroom teacher and there were all my classmates behind me. That delayed me so I can only come now."

Wei Yang nodded and said a few words indifferently before Xu Zheng left. No one else greeted him.

In fact, in today's occasion, Xu Zheng's status is not low, and he can even be said to be one of the most outstanding alumni.

On the one hand, there are old seniors, serious students from the class of 1990. Apart from the older generation, they are considered to be representatives of the middle generation of Shanghai Theatre Academy.

And the most important thing for him is not his qualifications, but that he is a great director.

Two movies with a box office of over 1 billion, regardless of whether there is an element of luck, the box office is real, and the rising status in the circle is not fake.

It can be said that except for Boss Wei, everyone else present, even Li Bingbing, is willing to get close to him.

But the reason why everyone was so indifferent was naturally because of Boss Wei who also reacted coldly.

Wei Yang clearly disliked him, and he was chatting with him so happily, which was just irritating the boss.

After Xu Zheng left, everyone else acted as if nothing had happened, only Li Jiahang asked in a low voice.

"Are you okay?"

Wei Yang shook his head. Seeing this, Dilirouba quietly put her hand into Wei Yang's hand to comfort him. Seeing this, Gulinaza also followed suit. Boss Wei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and pinched him gently.

"I'm really fine."

He was perfunctory towards Xu Zheng for a simple reason: after Lost in Hong Kong was released, Xu became arrogant.

On the one hand, he was too proud, and on the other hand, he wanted to break away from Wei Yang's command, so he started to do some tricks.

For example, he complained during an interview, implying that his share of the money was too little. There were also rumors that Blue Whale was bullying, saying that he got too little for "Lost in Hong Kong" and that "Lost in Thailand" made so much money, but he only took a small share of the pay.

This is obviously somewhat immoral.

There was no profit distribution from "Lost in Thailand", but Wei Yang gave Xu Zheng a red envelope of 10 million yuan.

In addition, the entire film was invested by Wei Yang, and he also solved the copyright issue later. He also paid Wei Yang every penny of the screenwriter's salary and director's fees.

If a movie becomes a hit, the director should get more money. No other crew should get this right.

Of course, there is a proposition here that Wei Yang used the information from his previous life to take advantage of the situation.

This is also the reason why he has always taken care of Xu Zheng. Not only did he give him a big red envelope, but he also provided him with a lot of support, allowing him to get some compensation in terms of fame and fortune.

Since the company wanted to develop independently, Wei Yang did not stop it. Even though he had some tricks up his sleeve, he welcomed subsequent cooperation.

Wei Yang is not bragging. A "money printing machine" like Xu Zheng would never be allowed to leave easily if he had a new boss. Even if he is not squeezed dry, he will at least make him bleed.

But Xu Zheng just left, and no one knew whether he was truly dissatisfied or was afraid that others would say he was ungrateful and ran away after becoming capable.

He wanted to create this character of a hard-working worker who was bullied, to gain sympathy and disgust Wei Yang at the same time.

Unfortunately, he forgot that Boss Wei was known for his vengeance.

Xu Zheng was not tolerated at all, and a lot of negative information about him was dug up instead. This guy has a lot of dirt on him, and there are many flaws in his deeds. I just picked out some of them and hired some internet trolls to create hype. Although I couldn't kill him, I could at least make him look bad.

Now, after having tasted the bitterness, he immediately became obedient. Today, he came over to say hello during the school anniversary, which was also a sign of weakness.

But his showing of weakness does not mean that Wei Yang forgives him, because Boss Wei is known for being petty.

Li Jiahang and the two beauties from Xinjiang Province were mainly worried that he would get angry and ruin his good mood today.

In fact, Wei Yang didn’t take this episode seriously at all and happily took out his manuscript.

"I'll coach you again so that you don't make mistakes when you go on stage to speak on behalf of outstanding alumni."

The two beauties from Xinjiang province cooperated by showing their starry eyes in admiration, while Li Jiahang rolled his eyes sourly.

Tsk, isn't it just a speech on stage? It's like I've never done it in my dreams...

Seeing Li Jiahang's eyes pinching a lemon, Wei Yang felt very comfortable. Come to think of it, he had also participated in the 70th anniversary celebration of the school in his previous life.

At that time, he had just made some achievements and was doing okay, but he was still not good enough in front of many alumni. He and a few classmates stayed in the corner like minions, looking at the outstanding alumni with envy.

At that time, Wei Yang also imagined that he would return to his alma mater after achieving success and become the center of attention.

As a result, he never fulfilled this wish until his death in his previous life, but he accomplished it easily in this life, even to a level that he could not even dream of in his previous life.

Cool! Wei Yang was so happy that he almost burst into laughter. But when he went on stage to give his speech, he looked calm. His face and speech were full of gratitude and good memories for his alma mater.

This manuscript, which was personally polished by many doctors and even writers, won thunderous applause from the audience.

But after speaking, Wei Yang did not rush to leave the stage. Instead, he stayed on the stage and chatted with a microphone.

"I am very happy about the school anniversary and I have discussed with my teacher, Dean Long Xuetong, whether we can prepare some gifts for the school."

"We talked about a few gifts, but they were either flashy or pretentious, and neither of us was particularly satisfied."

"Later I asked my classmate Li Jiahang, and he gave me an idea: since you are so rich, why not donate some money to the school?"

"I refuted him, saying that what was important was giving back to the alma mater and the friendship, and that donating money was too vulgar. But after struggling for many days, I still felt that he was right. First, I am a vulgar person, and second, I happen to be a vulgar person with a little money, so it's vulgar."

After saying that, Wei Yang turned around and extended his right hand to signal. Two leaders of the Shanghai Theatre Academy happily appeared holding a giant check-shaped cardboard.

The style above is not important, what is important is the numbers. The Arabic numeral 1 has many zeros after it, which makes it difficult to count at first, while Chinese characters are easier to recognize.

One hundred million yuan! (End of this chapter)
