But Wei Yang is not idle. In private, he is busy gaining weight while preparing for a new movie and casting. At the same time, he is also in charge of the script writing for next year's "Chi Le Chuan" and the subsequent "Day and Night Chase 2".
The script is fine. Wei Yang did not actually participate in "Day and Night 2". He was mainly responsible for supervision and review.
The specific creation is handed over to the editors below, and most of these screenwriters are also the screenwriters of the first part of "Day and Night Chase".
When working on the first script, Wei Yang clearly considered making a sequel, so a lot of hooks and extended plots for the sequel were prepared at the time. Now the main task is to sort them out, remove the dross and retain the essence, and then combine them with the main line of the second part.
Wei Yang still has great trust in the screenwriter team.
Although he was the lead writer of the script for Day and Night, the main writer was actually the screenwriter from the original time and space, and he invited that person in advance.
There were even rumors that the screenwriter and his girlfriend worked together on the script in his previous life, and that the second script was difficult to produce because they broke up, so he even brought his girlfriend into the screenwriting team.
In this way, even if there is a breakup in the future, the screenwriter fee has been paid in full and the project will not be delayed.
The two original + Blue Whale's excellent screenwriter team created the glory of "Day and Night Chase", the number one web drama with the highest reputation.
The same cast and more resources invested by all parties, even if the inspiration is not there and it lacks the stunningness of the first part, it can still maintain a high level.
"Chi Le Chuan" is even simpler. Boss Wei has almost finished the foundation, and what remains is to modify and polish the details.
Later, Wei Yang planned to invite several writers, screenwriters and even online writers of historical literature to help review the manuscript.
"Chi Le Chuan" is essentially a commercial TV series, and it is more of a biographical drama. It follows history, but it is impossible to follow history completely.
Therefore, Wei Yang will later look for expert consultants to assist the crew with some historical details of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty, but in terms of the script, he pays more attention to the writers of historical novels.
What he wanted was not the detailed and authentic historical details of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but the legendary life of Emperor Shenwu of Northern Qi, who was magnificent and full of wars and battles.
When it comes to the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, these experts and scholars are the most authoritative, but when it comes to how to create stories, tell history in an exciting way, and create characters with flesh and blood, it still depends on these writers and screenwriters.
Wei Yang had used this trick before, but most of the time it was not so large-scale. At most, he would ask a few close friends to take a look.
The last time I was so cautious was because it was my first time directing "Famous", and I had never been a director or worked on a movie, so I was not sure.
This time, "Chi Le Chuan" is because it is an original script by Boss Wei.
Wei Yang had been a screenwriter in his previous life, and some of his original scripts had been filmed, but it was far from the achievements he has made in this life. This time he gave up cheating and used it, so how could Boss Wei, who was used to cheating, not feel guilty?
However, while feeling guilty, Wei Yang also had his own confidence. He had not lived in vain over the years, not to mention that he had taken out countless insurance policies.
If this fails again, Boss Wei should consider retreating behind the scenes as soon as possible, so as to avoid losing his "God's eye" and becoming foolish and incompetent, becoming a laughing stock.
The script is easy to say, and gaining weight is even easier, just eat every day, and it mainly depends on time.
Wei Yang had a good foundation, but he couldn't resist eating too much, and all of his food was a calorie bomb. As his weight continued to increase, the fattening effect he wanted appeared.
However, this will inevitably lead to a decline in appearance. Boss Wei lives in seclusion because he cares about his image.
Wei Yang doesn't care about losing a few fans, but he doesn't want to be teased and humiliated by haters using his "ugly photos". He usually says that a man's inner qualities are not important, not his looks. But those who are familiar with him know that he is a bit narcissistic.
So Wei Yang no longer showed up in public, and focused on behind-the-scenes work, personally taking charge of the preparation and casting of the new movie "Dying to Survive".
That’s right, Wei Yang gained weight and personally took charge of the crew to produce this Chinese masterpiece which was a great success in both word-of-mouth and box office.
To be honest, Wei Yang was hesitant about whether to play in "Dying to Survive".
Compared with his creative ability, business ability, emotional intelligence and appearance, acting skills are Boss Wei's weakness.
Even though this weakness has been improving, it has even received widespread acclaim after "Wushuang" and "Day and Night Chase".
But facing a movie like "Dying to Survive" that could become a classic in film history, Wei Yang was still a little nervous.
It’s not that he’s afraid of messing up his performance. Boss Wei is not a young idol, so he has some confidence. But he’s afraid that his performance won’t be as good as the original, which would ruin a good movie, and that would be a sin.
But this script is so good that, as a professional actor, Wei Yang is reluctant to give up the opportunity to others.
Therefore, Wei Yang decided to be selfish for once. He gained weight and concentrated on preparing for the movie in order to give a better performance. He dare not say that he can surpass the original version, but he cannot fall behind either.
As for the so-called open casting, Boss Wei actually already had a candidate in mind, it was just a formality.
With a reputation, several actors he has chosen can appear in front of Wei Yang in a more reasonable way.
Tan Zhuo, Zhang Yu, and Wang Yanhui!
Among them, Wang Yanhui is not an unknown person. He is considered to be the director Cao Baoping's favorite supporting actor. He has also worked with Ning Hao, especially in last year's "Burning Sun", a scene of which attracted considerable attention.
However, his real rise to fame in his previous life came after he starred in "Dying to Survive", and Wei Yang did not change this time.
Tan Zhuo is similar. She is not very famous among the general public, but she is also a big figure in the circle. She has acted in many art films and has been recognized by people in the industry.
Similar to her are Yu Nan, Qi Xi, Wan Qian and others. They have acting skills, representative works, and seem to have roles to play. They are known as goddesses of art films and have a high status. In fact, they are just unpopular actors with no money and no fame.
So most of these people are waiting for an opportunity to become famous.
When the time comes, you will become famous, a big name, and even a top actress, gaining both fame and fortune.
If you can't wait, you will continue to be lukewarm, or simply become silent or change careers.
Tan Zhuo was lucky enough to wait for "Dying to Survive" in her previous life. Although her career was not particularly prosperous due to limited resources and conditions, it is still a height that many actors can only dream of, and she still has the opportunity to go further.
Tan Zhuo in this time and space was once in danger of being replaced because Boss Wei considered changing people.
Liu Shishi and others definitely could not play this role, but Coral Entertainment recommended Qin Lan.
This person's strength may not be as good as Tan's, but he also has some skills. He can handle the role in "Dying to Survive". The key is that he is one of our own.
In addition, Yu Nan, who had worked with Wei Yang in "Wushuang", also came to audition.
In terms of ability, she is not inferior to Tan Zhuo, and in terms of fame, she is much more famous and can be considered a well-known movie star.
But after seeing what happened to Qin Lan, Wei Yang felt that her performance was relatively superficial compared to Yu and Tan's. It was adequate, but not good enough.
If it was a TV series or a purely commercial film, Wei Yang might have chosen a private one, but this time he attached great importance to "Dying to Survive", so he chose the best of the best.
Qin Lan was miserably passed!
Yu Nan and Tan Zhuo's performances each have their own merits. Perhaps Wei Yang had a preconceived impression of the latter from his previous life, and thought that the latter was better, so Tan Zhuo narrowly got the role.
Among them, Zhang Yu is the luckiest.
Tan Zhuo and Wang Yanhui still have a certain influence in the circle, have representative works, and have collaborated with famous directors.
Although Zhang Yu has filmed some works, they have made almost no noise and he is a complete unknown.
This guy even received the invitation but didn't show up for the audition because he felt he had no hope and the trip to Shanghai was expensive, so he simply didn't come.
When Boss Wei found out about this, he was so angry that he laughed.
At that time, I was planning to just pick a suitable one among the interviewees and forget about it, since this guy was not destined to become famous.
But fortunately, Wei Yang didn't like any of the candidates who came to audition. Why, he always felt that they lacked that wildness.
From a small role played by an almost amateur actor to an important supporting role in Wei Yang's new movie, there were many twists and turns in between.
Even Zhang Yu himself said that he was unknown for the first thirty years, and his luck was saved up in this time...
In stark contrast to Zhang Yu is Wang Chuanjun, who has bad luck.
Wei Yang did have some small opinions about this person, and he did not shy away from it, but he never targeted the other party.
Many of the main creators of "Love Apartment" have filmed in the Blue Whale crew, including Wang Chuanjun, who also played the second male lead in a romance drama.
If Wei Yang wanted to suppress him, how could Wang get these roles? It would be normal for him to be squeezed out of the Shanghai circle like Zheng Kai.
For this time's "Dying to Survive", Wei Yang took into consideration Li Jiahang's outstanding performance in the original version, the fact that they are both alumni of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and his good relationship with Li Jiahang, so he really had no intention of replacing him.
But Wang Chuanjun happened to be in New York filming, and his schedule tightly blocked his schedule. He couldn't get away there, and it was impossible for us to wait for him, so we could only miss each other with regret.
Wei Yang searched around and finally found Zhang Ze, who was also an actor who had started working before joining the crew.

Boss Wei wanted to gain weight, but he wanted to lose weight to the point where he would become sick and weak all year round.
After discussion, the two sides decided to put the scene of Lv Shouyi's death at the end of the film, let Zhang Ze finish the previous scenes, and suddenly lose weight to reflect the weakness of a dying man.
As for other characters, except for the police chief and the male protagonist's brother-in-law, Wei Yang was replaced by Wang Jinsong and Zhang Songwen, with almost no changes.
These two people are the golden supporting actors of the Blue Whale series, and are considered to be top figures in the circle.
Especially Zhang Songwen, his fame and career are much better than at that stage in the original time and space. He has participated in a large number of Blue Whale series film and television dramas, so at least he has no shortage of money to buy a house.
The only regret is that I basically played supporting roles and never had the opportunity to take on a leading role.
However, most of the non-popular middle-aged actors are in this situation. There is only one word difference between the supporting role and the leading role, and some people have waited for a lifetime.
Even in "Kuang Bi", which later made Zhang Songwen famous, he was strictly speaking a supporting role, but some people regarded him as one of the two male protagonists.
What everyone doesn’t know is that before Wei Yang decided to star in "Dying to Survive", Zhang was also one of the candidates for the male lead, but his ranking was relatively low.
It's not that his acting skills are bad, but that he lacks box office appeal. If he were to play the role, the word of mouth might still be good, but it would definitely not reach the original version's 3 billion+ performance.
However, Zhang Songwen does not need to worry, as online dramas have already begun to rise.
Compared to TV dramas where actors are judged by their looks and popularity, web dramas are the best stage for talented actors like them. Zhang Songwen, who has already proved himself in "Soul Ferry", will have his own place in this wave of Internet boom.
…
Wei Yang was busy with his own things, but he was having a lot of fun, allowing Boss Wei, who was taking a break from his busy schedule, to enjoy the show.
Throughout September, the biggest gossip was the family tree incident of the little black fat man, and then he was counterattacked by his apprentice with an invoice.
Although he had seen this gossip before in his previous life, Boss Wei still enjoyed watching it. When combined with the situation of the two many years later, it was even more interesting.
At present, word of mouth is extremely favorable to the little black fat man.
Variety shows such as "Happy Comedian" and "Swordsman" have brought the fat black boy considerable benefits, making him look like a master. Deyun Club has also produced many well-known apprentices, especially Xiao Yueyue, who is extremely popular.
As Deyun Club’s 20th anniversary celebration is approaching, the momentum is even greater and it can be said that it is the beginning of the road to the peak.
At this time, Cao was basically pinned to the ground, with almost no room for resistance.
Who could have thought that a few years later, another boomerang would come and the reputation of the two would turn around. The apprentice finally got his reward after all the hard work, while the little black fat man became the one who was scolded.
So no one can predict the fortune! When things are at their lowest, stay hidden and gather your strength. There may be opportunities to turn things around in the future.
When you are in power, don't get too cocky. The moon waxes and wanes, and it's impossible for people to be successful all their lives.
Therefore, Wei Yang always reminds himself to be modest, cautious and low-key.
At the very least, when you go out and chat nonsense, don't be too confident, or you'll get slapped in the face later.
It is hard to say about the former. After all, Wei Yang's identity and status, as well as the size of the company under his name, make it difficult for him to be low-key. Sometimes, even if he does things normally, he cannot avoid being criticized for being domineering and arrogant.
But the latter Wei Yang was still somewhat confident, and he kept his mouth shut.
Although he sometimes pretends to be cool, it is always within his ability and he seldom tries to embellish himself too much. He readily admits his shortcomings and flaws and even lies down and allows himself to be ridiculed.
There may be a few boomerangs, but it is not turned into a series of quotations that are output in the face.
In addition to the battle between master and apprentice, another news that shocked the entertainment industry was the death of actor Qiao Renliang.
There are many different opinions about the reasons behind this, and various conspiracy theories have emerged one after another, but based on what Boss Wei himself knows, it is not that weird at all.
It's mainly due to personal reasons, and this is not without precedent in the entertainment industry.
As a public figure, you not only bear the pressure of your career, but your private life is also magnified in various ways. Every move you make may cause all kinds of storms and other miscellaneous disturbances. People who are not mentally strong are really not suitable for this job.
Speaking of which, Wei Yang had dealt with him before and had once considered trying to persuade him.
But at that time I felt that the other party was quite cheerful and I didn't feel anything was wrong. Later, Boss Wei became busy and I gradually forgot about it. The next time I heard about it, it was bad news.
Although Wei Yang has always believed that everyone has their own destiny, there are too many unfortunate people in the world and he cannot save them all, so he lets go of his desire to help others and respects individual destiny.
But thinking of the young man who had expressed admiration and respect for him, Boss Wei smoked three cigars that night and did not go to bed until the early morning.
But later, some new news eased Boss Wei's mood a little.
Chen Sicheng, who had performed well in Baoqiang's divorce, was praised by netizens not long ago, but was photographed leaving a hotel with a female star.
This is not the first time that Chen has been exposed. There were rumors in 2014 and they have not stopped for two years. The most serious one was when Tong Yaya, who was two months pregnant, posted a message to support her husband.
This time, their child was just over half a year old and was beaten again. There were also videos and photos of them eating together and entering the hotel.
However, before Chen Sicheng’s scandal was over, sports superstar Super Dan was also exposed to have cheated on his wife, causing an uproar on the entire Internet.
Then in early October, Xu Zheng was photographed taking an elevator to a room with a woman and never came out again.
"Extreme Challenge" has already started airing, and member Wang Xun's dark secrets have also been exposed. He kicked his wife of 16 years and married a young and beautiful wife. Boss Wei always feels very happy when he sees this kind of news!
We are all bad people, why should I be the only one being scolded? That’s why he loves to read news about good men falling from grace.
Zhang Yimou, Chen Chichi, Chen Sicheng, Lin Dan, Xu Zheng, Wang Quanan, Wang Xun, David Tao…
In the past two years, these people have come one after another and have raised Boss Wei's reputation to a higher level.
Even so, there are still a lot of people waiting behind him. Wei Yang is afraid that one day he will be forced to be the best man in the entertainment industry by these colleagues.
Although it's a bit exaggerated, given the nature of the entertainment industry, even Xia Donghai's reputation has collapsed, so who can say for sure?
