Wei Yang was quite busy in the next few days.
He met Xia Cong for coffee, took Liu Junjie to take a bath, and took time out to visit the boss he had dealt with in previous commercial performances with his agent Lei Chun.
After meeting with several key figures in the plan, Wei Yang felt both happy and worried, but was generally satisfied.
Afterwards, he did not act rashly. Now that Director Zheng has not made an official statement, only a few senior executives of Blue Whale have vaguely noticed something.
No one can be 100% sure what the future will be like.
Even if Wei Yang had some intention, it was just a prelude. The parties involved knew it very well. If everything went well for Blue Whale in the end, this incident would be treated as if it had never happened...
In early July, Wei Yang temporarily put aside his current work and attended the opening ceremony of "Twinkle Twinkle Star".
Liu Shishi's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" has not yet been completed, but as the new drama has started, she still took a special leave to come here to cooperate with the promotion.
It is midsummer now. Liu Shishi wore a light green gauze skirt and tied her hair into a ponytail today, looking fresh and beautiful.
"You look good today, I'll give the stylist a bonus later."
Liu Shishi keenly noticed the loophole: "Then am I usually not good-looking?"
"It's beautiful too, but it looks especially beautiful today."
Liu Shishi was delighted by the compliment and curled her eyes, but she said reservedly, "You only know how to say nice things. No wonder Mimi said you are so slick."
"She has ruined my good reputation. I will deal with her sooner or later."
"Humph, I don't know who is dealing with whom. I don't know how you offended Tangtang. Now she is following Mimi in criticizing you."
"Alas, excellent and kind people are always easily envied and slandered."
"...Don't force me to join them,"
“…”
The two were chatting, and Yuan Hong, who was not far away, came over and asked with interest.
"What are you talking about?"
Wei Yang started talking about the news from the previous two days: "We are discussing Bill Gates' resignation as executive chairman of Microsoft and its far-reaching impact on the future of the world economy and the Internet."
Yuan Hong: “???”
Liu Shishi tried to hold back her laughter and hit him, so Wei Yang finally explained: "We didn't talk about anything, just catching up on the past."
"You two have only been apart for a few days and you're already reminiscing about the past. We haven't seen each other for almost a month, and you're not even looking for me to reminisce about the past."
Yuan Hong couldn't help but complain, Wei Yang smiled and said, "If you want to reminisce about the past, get a few bottles of wine tomorrow and we can have a good reminisce."
"Forget it. I still want to live two more years."
Yuan Hong was scared by Wei Yang's drinking last time, and he got a headache when he heard about having a drinking contest with Wei Yang.
"You are not as good as Lao Hu. At least he dared to fight me a few more times. Are you scared after just one or two times?"
"A man who knows the current situation is a hero. I am not as stubborn as him."
“…”
The reason why Yuan Hong can appear here is naturally because he participated in "Twinkle Twinkle Star".
He plays the second male lead Zhan Yu in the drama, who is mistakenly regarded as a savior by the female lead and plays the role of a tool and a booster in the relationship between the male and female leads.
To be honest, Wei Yang felt a little sorry for Yuan Hong.
It's fine to have Hu Ge as the second male lead in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", after all, they are good brothers. He is indeed not as popular as Hu Ge, and this is a big IP.
But in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", he only played a supporting role with a few scenes, which was somewhat shabby.
Now he finally got another "Twinkle Twinkle Star" started, but ended up having to play a supporting role for Wei Yang, a junior who just debuted.
However, no matter how much sympathy he felt, Wei Yang would never give up the role.
Yuan Hong may have known the inside story, or he may have let it go. He seemed to be in a good state and had no problem with Wei Yang. They were talking and laughing.
In addition to Yuan Hong, there are two other faces that Wei Yang is more familiar with in "Twinkle Twinkle Star".
Qi Wei who plays the second female lead Gao Ge.
He made his debut in Shanghai TV's Super Show in 2006 and formed a "talented man and beautiful woman" group with Yuan Chengjie from the same company. They became famous last year with the TV series "The Bund 18".
Gao Ge, the second female lead in "Twinkle Twinkle Star", is set to be pretty and delicate, a bit rebellious and tomboyish, and Qi Wei fits the bill.
Tangren prefers artists from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Shanghai when hiring actors. The former is because of capital, and the latter is mainly because of proximity.
If there are any film invitations, artists in Shanghai will get the news quickly, and they all hang out in the same place with a limited circle, so they will have some connections to make connections with.
Qi Wei was developing in Shanghai, she acted quickly, and had a certain fame. In addition, screenwriter Wei Yang was optimistic about her and gave her a push, so of course they decided on her since they didn't have any suitable candidate at the moment.
The other is the actor who plays the funny class teacher in the play - Lei Datou, an actor from Shanghai Drama Center.
At this time, Lei Datou was basically in the stage of playing supporting roles. Not to mention TV dramas, even in dramas he always played supporting roles to his old enemy Guo Jinfei.

He was able to get this role because Wei Yang saw him among a group of candidates and recommended him to director Lin Yufen. In the end, he was successfully hired because of his natural sense of humor.
In addition to these two "acquaintances", some of the other actors also looked familiar to Wei Yang, but because they were not well-known in later generations, Wei Yang could not quite recite their resumes.
…
Cai Yinong and several senior executives of Tangren also came to the scene today. Together with director Lin Yufen, Wei Yang and Liu Shishi, they burned incense and worshipped Guan Erye together.
The crew started filming to worship gods. Wei Yang had participated in it at least a dozen times in his two lifetimes, but it was his first time as the male lead. Needless to say, the feeling was completely different.
The same goes for Liu Shishi. Although she had previously served as the female lead in a unit in "Strange Women of Liao Zhai", she was ranked last among the female leads in several units, not much different from the third or fourth female leads.
This time in "Twinkle Twinkle Star", it is the first time that Liu Shishi plays the leading female role.
And according to the setting of the roles in the play, her name should actually be ranked first, but because Wei Yang is more famous now, and with the bonus of being the screenwriter, she is ranked behind Wei Yang.
But Liu Shishi is already very satisfied.
Although she didn't show it on her face, the joyful aura she exuded made Wei Yang see through her thoughts.
"Keep calm, you will have more opportunities to be the heroine in the future."
"That's different from this time."
Liu Shishi shook her head. The first time is always a little special, and not only with the drama, but also with... the people you work with.
Afterwards, the two cut the ribbon together, took turns to go on stage to give speeches, and then were interviewed by reporters together.
All of this fell into the eyes of Cai Yinong, the president of Tangren. Looking at the two people who behaved closely and had a tacit understanding, President Cai seemed to be thinking about something.
I quietly called Liu Shishi's agent and asked about the situation in detail. The agent actually felt something was wrong and started to ask.
"Boss Cai, why don't you come out and talk to Shi Shi and let her calm down."
It is normal for young artists to have romantic feelings from time to time, and the management companies often play the role of breaking up the couple.
It’s not like Tangren hasn’t interfered with the love lives of its artists before. Liu Shishi is now a rising star that Tangren is promoting, and this situation is not in the interests of the company.
The agent was already thinking about how to warn and criticize Liu Shishi, but Cai Yinong just kept shaking her head.
"Don't worry about them, just let it be."
The agent was confused, this was different from the impression she had of Cai Yinong. Little did she know that Mr. Cai had his own plans in mind.
Before, she tried every possible way to sign Wei Yang, but he just wasn't interested. However, these days she realized something was wrong: Wei Yang was a lustful guy.
If Liu Shishi can use the beauty trap to lure Wei Yang to the Tang people, then this deal will not be a loss...
