Chapter 568 Lu Yu: It was worth the trip.



"Can we visit Mr. Wei's home? I guess the audience is also very curious."

"sure."

Wei Yang led the way and took Lu Yu on a brief tour of the villa.

As mentioned before, the Yunhua Mansion villa covers an area of ​​3.2 acres, with a total area of ​​about 2,200 square meters, of which the building area is about 600 square meters, and the rest is gardens, fish ponds, garages, courtyards, etc., which is almost 1,500 square meters.

More than 1,500 square meters may not sound like a lot, but it is actually approximately equivalent to four basketball courts. The area is still considerable and it looks very spacious and luxurious at first glance.

There's nothing much to say about the garden and the fish pond. They're nicely built, but the variety is average. Ordinary people think they're beautiful and luxurious, but those who know the business think they're just average.

This is also because no one in the family likes this. It is purely used as a decorative scenery. We just need to find someone to take care of it regularly. It's fine as long as it's acceptable.

What the Weishan couple valued most were the vegetable plots in the backyard, where they grew seasonal vegetables and peppers, onions and garlic.

It’s not about saving money, this dish is not worth much, the main thing is that it is safer and more reliable to eat at home, they are all green food.

A few acres of vegetable plots were enough for the old couple and a few nannies and servants. What they couldn't eat could be sent to the eldest aunt. Every time Wei Yang and Zhao Liying went home, the trunk was usually half filled with vegetables, and Li Jiahang and others also got some from time to time.

But this is just a small thing, occasionally tried for something new, and apart from the fact that it is clean, the taste is not really something that has been carefully cultivated.

So, last year, Boss Wei set up a small farm in Chongming, specializing in growing vegetables and raising livestock.

It is not only for daily consumption at home, but also for interpersonal communication. With the development of the times, people are paying more and more attention to food safety, but few have the ability and capital to run farms. Boss Wei provides the channels and has personal credibility, so I am afraid that many people are willing to buy it.

This is also a blue ocean market. Later, many big players began to focus on the layout of new agriculture.

Boss Wei does not have such big ambitions for the time being. He just wants to satisfy his own needs and have some other uses by the way, and he will leave the business to its own devices.

However, the farm has already started production, but most of the family eats what is grown in the villa.

Again, this is not an economic issue, it is mainly a pleasure for the old couple.

It is quite a sense of accomplishment to let my son, daughter-in-law and relatives eat the dishes I made myself...

So Wei Yang was also very considerate. When he came to his home for an interview, he specially praised him, making Comrade Wei appear reserved on the surface, but secretly very happy. If Wei Yang and the others had not slipped away so quickly, the old man would have planned to open a small agricultural class.

There is some scenery outside the villa, but there is actually nothing to see inside.

The three floors and even some of the rooms were still vacant, so Wei Yang simply took them to the study.

"When I come here, apart from eating and chatting with my parents and taking a rest, I basically spend more time in the study room, which can be regarded as one of the office areas."

Wei Yang led the people into the study, which was not small, nearly 40 square meters. The most eye-catching thing was the bookcase that took up an entire wall and was filled with books. There was a huge solid wood desk facing the door, which looked steady and domineering.

Lu Yu's focus was rather strange. He first noticed the swords and bows hanging on the wall opposite the bookcase.

"Why hang swords in the study? Is there any Feng Shui consideration?"

"No, it's purely decorative."

The swords were not hung too high and were fastened with a snap hook, so Wei Yang took down a knife easily.

"This is the prop I used when filming Joy of Life. The sword is a prop from The East Palace, as is the bow. The axe from Haitang Duoduo..."

Wei Yang introduced a few, then pulled out his knife: "After filming, I collected some props for collection, or specially asked someone to imitate them according to the pattern, as a souvenir. Not only here, but also in the study where I live. There are also two or three sets of armor, which are also costumes for ancient dramas."

After that, he even gestured and said with a smile: "If you are tired from work, it is good to get up and move around."

"Mr. Wei really likes cold weapons?"

"Men, more or less, all have this hobby. When they were young, they would have fun playing with a wooden stick. When they grow up and have the conditions, they will naturally satisfy their personal hobbies."

Wei Yang's is still good, it's just a taste, and it's more of a commemoration of the filming.

Some cold weapon and armor enthusiasts have dozens of sets of weapons and armor in their hands, and they use warehouses to store them. Not only do they strictly follow the ancient system and pursue details crazily, some of them are simply made by themselves and are lethal.

Let’s put it this way, in ancient times, it was a crime of privately manufacturing weapons, punishable by death and extermination of the entire family, and even now, it is punished by controlling knives…

After looking at the swords for a few times, Lu Yu finally focused his attention on the bookshelf, and Boss Wei calmly put away the several photo frames on the desk.

There is a photo of him and Zhao Liying in it, and it is a bit troublesome to be photographed.

Lu Yu and the others saw it but didn't say anything. Boss Wei had already said that relationships and family members should not be included in the photos, so it was reasonable for the photos to be taken.

"How many books does Mr. Wei have here?"

"I don't know, maybe a few thousand."

Wei Yang looked at the bookshelf, a little uncertain: "To be honest, most of these books are just decorations like swords, and more than 70% of them are unopened. I come to the study mainly for work, and rarely read books."

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Boss Wei speaks very frankly."

"Nothing to hide."

Boss Wei is a bachelor: "There are so many books and I'm so busy with work, no one would believe me if I said I've read them all."

"Does Mr. Wei like reading books?"

"When I was young, I loved reading. I didn't have much entertainment, so I read any book I could find, especially miscellaneous books. After reading too much, my mind became wild, so I wanted to be a writer and screenwriter. Later, I started my own business, was busy with work, and became impatient. I read less and less books. It was only in the past two years that things have improved."

This is because he has lived two lives, his mentality is different from that of ordinary people, and he likes to create, so he often consults.

If an ordinary person at this age achieved such results, with great wealth and surrounded by beautiful women, he would not have the time to concentrate on reading. Even the current Boss Wei is not as eager to study as he was back then.

There is no way, his pure heart has been covered by dust. Even if he lives two more lives, Wei Yang will never find the ignorant boy who squatted at the bookstall to read books...

Lu Yu chatted for a few words, patted the bookcase, and began to focus on the desk, and then saw several books with bookmarks.

"Is this the book that President Wei usually reads?"

"yes."

"Can I see it?"

"Can."

Lu Yu took a few books and flipped through them. The photographer was very sensible and followed the camera to take pictures of the titles of the books.

Book of Northern Qi

The Book of Zhou

The Ruling Group of Eastern Wei and Northern Qi

The Changes in the Power Structure of the Guanlong Group

Lu Yu is not the arts student Liu Shishi who even Gao Huan doesn't know. She is a top student at the Communication University of China and has been studying in a famous school in Beijing since she was a child. She has been a journalist for many years and has a wide range of knowledge, including a solid foundation in history.

Even after reading these books, one can directly analyze Wei Yang's purpose.

"Mr. Wei, are you interested in the history of the Eastern and Western Wei?"

Look, this is someone who knows the subject. The Two Jin Dynasties and the Southern and Northern Dynasties lasted for a total of more than 300 years, and there were many periods of political power changes. People who don’t understand can’t even remember the representative dynasties, let alone the different periods.

Take the Northern Dynasties for example, the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty - the Rebellion of the Eight Kings - followed by the invasion of China by the Five Barbarians and the Sixteen Kingdoms. During this period, Fu Jian of the Former Qin Dynasty unstably unified the north, but unfortunately he was defeated in the Battle of Feishui. After that, the north was in chaos again until the establishment of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After the Eastern Jin Dynasty was destroyed by Liu Yu and the Liu Song Dynasty was established, the Two Jin Dynasties ended and the Southern and Northern Dynasties officially began.

The Southern Dynasties were Song, Qi, Liang and Chen, which were of the same lineage and relatively simple. The Northern Wei Dynasty was chaotic, with the rise of many princes, and eventually it split into the Eastern Wei and Western Wei of Gao Huan and Yuwen Tai. Later, their descendants usurped the Wei and established the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou.

Eventually, the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, but was then taken advantage of by an important official, Yang Jian, who established the Sui Dynasty, conquered the Southern Chen Dynasty, unified the country, and ended the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

A simple summary would take about a hundred words, and if it's a little more complicated, it would take an hour or two to explain it clearly.

Lu Yu was able to tell at a glance from the titles of a few books that Wei Yang was in charge of the period when the Eastern and Western Wei dynasties coexisted, and he was indeed quite capable.

There was nothing secretive here, so Wei Yang briefly mentioned it: "I'm preparing a script for that period, check the information."

Lu Yu understood the meaning of the song and said without asking any more questions, "Look forward to your masterpiece."

After walking around the house, Lu Yu suggested giving Wei Yang a face-to-face interview.

This is also the process of "A Day in the Life of a Big Shot". First, have a daily private chat, and then do a concentrated interview and talk face to face.

What is different is that Lu Yu felt that there was not enough material, so he only did a phased interview, mainly talking about Wei Yang's family.

I will wait until the afternoon to see if there is any other material, and then consider interviews in other directions.

The interview took place in the pavilion of the villa. It was not so serious and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

"Many people on the Internet now say that Mr. Wei is a representative of a noble son born in a poor family and an inspirational role model. Do you think this has something to do with his parents' education?"

"Everyone praises me."

Wei Yang said modestly, and then said seriously: "Although my family was not well-off when I was a child, the relationship between my family members was very good. The harmonious family environment and my parents' education guided my character in a positive way, which was of great help to my later entrepreneurship."

"Some people say that your aunt sponsored you to go to high school and college, and later you brought your aunt to live in Shanghai to repay her kindness. Is this true?"

"I've also seen this rumor. Some are true, some are false, but some of the descriptions are too exaggerated."

It's funny when Wei Yang talks about this. He doesn't know when this habit started, but he likes to make people who have made a fortune from scratch suffer.

His aunt definitely took care of him and gave him some pocket money, but it can't be said to be financial support. His tuition and living expenses were all paid by his parents.

You know, the tuition for studying at a theatre school is not low, and the future prospects are uncertain. If Wei Yang is really that poor, he will never waste the money.

People outside believe everything they hear and make up their own stories.

Because Wei Yang lived far from school when he was in high school, it was more convenient for him to live with his aunt. He also talked about this in a previous interview.

I don't know who started the rumor, saying that Wei Yang's house was small and he had to run a business, so he couldn't afford to live there, so he had to live with his aunt since he was a child.

Someone claiming to be a classmate revealed that Wei Yang's family was poor and he had no clothes to wear, so he had to wear school uniform all year round.

Wei Yang was so angry that he laughed. The school uniform was a rule that only students could wear school uniforms, and more than 95% of the students did so. When it came to him, he had no money to buy clothes.

However, Wei Yang's behavior is not too outrageous. Jingdong Liu is the one who is really miserable.

What college tuition? The money for him to go to college was raised by each family selling eggs. The whole family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet.

This is complete nonsense from certain marketing accounts, and others are just following the crowd, probably because they think the worse the start, the more inspiring the comeback will be.

But in fact, although Jingdong Liu's family is not rich, they are not that poor either.

In an interview, he said that he had no meat to eat when he was a child and that sweet potatoes made him feel sick. Don't forget, that was because in the 1970s, the country had not yet entered into reform and opening up, materials were in short supply, and most parts of the country were poor.

Not to mention in rural areas, even in big cities not many people can eat meat several times a month.

Later, his family environment became much better. After graduating from college, he opened a restaurant and lost more than 200,000 yuan, all of which was his family's money.

That was in 1996, when the average wage was only a few hundred yuan. Others didn't know that Boss Wei's family had already opened a curtain shop at that time, but even if the entire shop was sold, it would not be worth 200,000 yuan.

Therefore, Jingdong Liu may have had a hard time, especially when he was a child, but it was not that miserable. Many of the revelations are inconsistent with his own accounts, and the marketing accounts are just writing nonsense for traffic.

The same is true for the Wei family, which is just an ordinary small business family, not as good as the best, but better than the worst.

So Boss Wei took this opportunity to clarify that he was unwilling to play sympathy with others by talking about his family affairs.

Besides, he never thought that his family was bad. The family was harmonious, and they had food and drink. How could he be so miserable when so many people couldn't have that?

Starting from scratch is one thing, but there is no need to create suffering for yourself or force yourself to have values ​​in it.

This is not because Boss Wei is being pretentious. It may be that he has succeeded too easily and does not have so much accumulated resentment, at least he is not dissatisfied with his family background.

But it is more due to his personality. Even though his situation in his previous life was far worse than it is now, Wei Yang has never complained about his personal background.

Lu Yu had not communicated much with Boss Wei before, but after this relatively in-depth chat, she felt that Wei Yang was not quite what she had imagined.

This super-rich man, who is less than 30 years old, does not have the aggressiveness of a typical person of his age. Instead, he is introverted, speaks calmly and with sophistication, and is sincere and straightforward.

From the host's perspective, he is a very outstanding interviewee.

From a female perspective, she understood why Boss Wei was so popular. He indeed exuded an extraordinary masculine elite charm.

Lu Yu felt this even more deeply in the afternoon.

Because one of Wei Yang's jobs in the afternoon was to try on the dress for the Magnolia Awards ceremony. Watching a super handsome guy with both good looks and temperament change into one exquisite and charming outfit after another, and then matching his style, was indeed a very pleasing and enjoyable experience.

Even in front of the camera, Lu Yu bluntly stated that this was definitely one of the interviews in her career that was worthwhile and worthwhile…
