Chapter 617 Wei Yang: How can I be called a dishonest businessman?

"One~"

"Two~"

"Three!"

Wei Yang, Wang Baoqiang, Yan Fei and Peng Damo, two directors, and Xia Cong, general manager of Blue Whale, smashed the ice sculpture in front of them together. The scene was full of flashes and thunderous applause.

In mid-February, "Detective Chinatown 2" broke the 3 billion mark, becoming the second movie in Chinese film history to have a box office of more than 3 billion, and it is only one step away from the previous record of "The Mermaid".

Although "Detective Chinatown 2" has not been released yet, and even because of the extension of the key, it is estimated that all box office statistics will not be available until March.

But Blue Whale considered that the popularity of the movie would not be much at that time, and the celebration would only be internal, and the role of external publicity would be greatly reduced.

In addition, the work had just started not long after the Spring Festival, and the people were still quite complete, and the scene was easy to make big, so they took advantage of the opportunity to hold a celebration party directly.

Sure enough, the popularity of the movie is now at its peak, and the celebration party has attracted much attention and is very popular.

The ice sculpture was smashed, and the cocktail party officially began!

As soon as Wei Yang stepped down from the stage, he was grabbed by Bona's Fatty Yu: "Mr. Wei, congratulations."

"Mr. Yu's words sound sour to me."

Wei Yang joked that Bona was also an important producer of Han Han's "Surfing the Waves", so Fatty Yu could be said to be one of Han Han's "financial sponsors".

When Han Han made his first movie "No Return", in addition to himself, the main collaborators were producer Fang Li, who was the one kneeling in "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", who mainly made art films, and Guomai Culture, a publishing company that has cooperated with Han Han for many years.

After the film was halfway through, some partners were introduced, and the leader was Fatty Yu of Bona.

After the success of "No Return", Han Han officially started to establish a film and television company, and capital investment that was optimistic about him entered the game.

The largest shareholder of Tingdong Pictures, which he founded, is Han Han himself, and the second and third largest shareholders are Alibaba and Bona respectively.

If Wei Yang remembered correctly, Han Han later became a small shareholder of Bona, and Bona was involved in a series of his subsequent films.

This Spring Festival, "Detective Chinatown 2" was a huge success, and naturally it also impacted the two films of the same period.

"Surfing the Waves" broke the 1 billion box office in the previous life, and it is afraid that it will not be able to pass the ten-digit mark in this time and space.

Fatty Yu does not have the "eye of heaven" of Boss Wei, and does not know the original achievement of "Surfing the Waves", but he is also an old filmmaker, and he can still see that the film was suppressed by the influence.

Therefore, Wei Yang believes in other people's congratulations to him, but Fatty Yu probably doesn't have much sincerity.

"You are underestimating me, I still have this kind of vision."

Fatty Yu has a round face and a fat belly, and he smiles naively, and gently changes the topic.

"How about that movie I told you about last time? Come and support it."

"Forget it. I've already appeared in The Founding of a Party. I won't compete with young people for opportunities."

Wei Yang waved his hand. Fatty Yu was talking about The Founding of an Army. China Film Group took the lead and Bona contributed a lot.

Fatty Yu had tasted the sweetness before and is now particularly interested in mainstream themes. He has participated in the preparation of many related projects.

Because he enjoyed the feeling of Wei Yang's leading in Operation Mekong and Wei Yang's popularity, Fatty Yu was thinking about him again.

Other projects are out of the question. Wei Yang has no shortage of film and television resources, including mainstream themes, which he has begun to lay out in the past two years.

So Fatty Yu planned The Founding of an Army. Only this tribute film with a name on it could possibly invite Wei Yang.

But Boss Wei really has no interest in this movie. He doesn't want to play those big characters, and the characters he can play are more outrageous than the other.

Now that he has a deep foundation, he can just not act if he doesn't want to. It's not a big deal to refuse a tribute film that is not as valuable as before.

Besides, it's not like Blue Whale doesn't have tribute films.

There are movies like "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Red Sea", and on the small screen, there are two military dramas and one anti-Japanese war drama that he mainly produces and invests in, so it's worth supporting Bona.

Fatty Yu probably knows that there is little hope, so he briefly mentioned it and talked about other things.

Since the two sides started to cooperate on "Operation Mekong", there have been many projects that have been exchanged.

Except for "Detective Chinatown 2", which is a film that all major producers don't want newcomers to share, Bona actually participated in some investment and distribution of "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Red Sea".

Similarly, many of Bona's projects are more or less participated by Blue Whale or other companies under Wei Yang's name.

But for now, Bona's projects have limited appeal to Boss Wei, while Fatty Yu is very envious of Blue Whale's projects.

This is also the reason why Fatty Yu came to the celebration party eagerly, and even had a somewhat flattering attitude.

Not only Bona, Guangguang also had a friendly attitude towards Blue Whale, but Boss Wang wanted to save face and had a good eye for projects, so he was not as flattering as Fatty Yu.

"By the way, Han Han really admires you this time. I will organize a party later, and you can meet him."

Fatty Yu talked a lot, and when Wei Yang was almost impatient, he reluctantly took out his trump card.

Introducing Han Han to Wei Yang was equivalent to connecting the two. If they were in love, Han Han's financial sponsor would not only be Bona in the future.

This was certainly not a good thing for Bona, but if you don't give Boss Wei some sweet treats, the cooperation between the two sides will not be so smooth in the future.

At least for now, Bona has to look at Boss Wei's face!

Wei Yang smiled, picked up the champagne in his hand and clinked it with Fatty Yu: "Okay."

Yu Fatty left, Zhao Liying came over with a glass of wine: "What did he say to you?"

"I was afraid that I would think he was eating alone, so I came to repair the relationship."

Wei Yang stared at the cup in Zhao Liying's hand, and the latter shook it and whispered: "Don't worry, sparkling water."

"Don't drink too much of this, just for the sake of showing it."

Wei Yang reminded him that when he was busy with the road show during the Spring Festival, good news came from home that Zhao Liying was successfully pregnant. The specific time should be early January, and it is less than two months now.

She is not like Liu Shishi, who can't stay at home, and there is no crew about to start filming, so she doesn't need to hide for the time being.

At the Blue Whale celebration banquet, she also wore flat shoes and shook sparkling water similar to the color of champagne to join in the fun.

"Back then, he was considered a big boss in the circle, but now he is so humble."

Zhao Liying was a little emotional. She had seen how glorious Yu Fatty was. Even when Wei Yang was just popular, he went to "The Founding of a Party" for a guest appearance, and was brought by Fan Xiaopang to pay homage to Yu Fatty.

As time goes by, the big guys who were worshipped by Wei Yang are now trying to please Wei Yang in a roundabout way. How can people not sigh.

"How is he humble? Don't you see how much money he made from me? If I don't take him to play, do you think he is still humble?"

Wei Yang exposed Yu Pangzi's disguise. This old guy likes to act pitiful. In fact, he didn't suffer any loss at all, and he could even be said to have taken advantage.

If the initiative was in Bona, you would know how arrogant this guy is.

However, Wei Yang must admit that Yu Pangzi is indeed not as successful as in his previous life.

After all, Yu Pangzi was one of the top big guys in the film industry in his previous life. Even after Huayi fell, he vaguely became the leader of domestic entertainment films.

But Bona in this time and space, as well as companies such as Guangguang, Xinli, Ruyi, Huanrui, etc., are all weakened to varying degrees compared with the previous life.

The reason is naturally the rise of Blue Whale!

The entertainment industry is so small that Blue Whale can't become the industry leader out of thin air. Naturally, it sucks blood from the left and intercepts from the right, poaching people, grabbing projects, and grabbing fortunes, etc., and finally stepping on the "wounded" bodies of many companies to achieve legends.

Bona, Guangguang and other companies are still good. Although the development is not as good as in the previous life, the size is not bad.

The more miserable New Classics and Huanrui are almost cut in half, and some companies simply die in the womb and become "fertilizer".

It's not just the entertainment industry, but also other industries that Wei Yang participated in.

The rise of PPTV accelerated the demise of LeTV, and the light of iQiyi, Youku and Penguin also dimmed a lot.

Red Shark intervened in the game industry, and Mihoyo was directly swallowed up. Companies such as NetEase and Jiuyou were hit hard, and Penguin also lost some of its arrogance in dominating the game circle.

There is also the beauty that Wei Yang supported Fan Xiaopang to do. Apart from anything else, the brand name of Perfect Diary is gone.

If Boss Wei hadn't thought Hua Xizi was unlucky, maybe both domestic beauty brands would have belonged to him.

Usually he didn't care, but after such a careful calculation, Boss Wei found that he had done a lot of evil, and he could be called a big villain. He would find a chance to find a temple to burn incense and wash away the karma and cause and effect on his body...

...

Zhao Liying was very energetic, holding a wine glass and looking around, but Wei Yang was afraid that she was tired, so he pulled her to find a sofa to sit down. He felt that the air conditioning in the venue was not enough, so he asked the assistant for a coat for her to put on.

"Are you hungry? Have some fruit plate?"

There were many meals on the table, mainly fruits, some cakes, desserts, and snacks, which could be taken at the buffet table.

"I don't want to eat these."

Zhao Liying shook her head: "I want to eat pickled cabbage, let's find a Northeast restaurant to eat later."

Wei Yang: "..."

Every woman has some problems when she is pregnant. Liu Shishi likes to sleep and cling more, while Zhao Liying's appetite has improved, but her taste changes a little fast.

A few days ago, she was thinking about eating candied haws, the day before yesterday, she was thinking about eating oil-splashed noodles with pickled garlic, and today she is thinking about eating pickled cabbage.

Wei Yang is very glad that he did not arrange for Zhao Liying to go abroad to take care of her pregnancy. Although these things in China are a bit troublesome, they are also easy to find. If they go abroad, it will be a big deal.

"Okay, I'll ask which pickled cabbage is delicious, and I'll take you there after the show is over."

She is the mother of her own child, what can Wei Yang do? Just spoil her!

Besides, Zhao Liying's taste changes a little fast, but she is indeed easy to feed. Since she became pregnant, the menu price of her order has not exceeded 200 yuan.

This made Boss Wei feel that he had no sense of achievement in making money, so it would be better to do something expensive and difficult. He also showed some performance, and there would be something to talk about when they quarreled later.

He is now in a passive position. If they quarrel in the future, Zhao Liying will reveal that he used candied haws and oil-splashed noodles to "fool" pregnant women. How will his son look at him...

"Are you really not going to shoot "Chi Le Chuan"?"

"Shoot, but wait until you... ahem, you give birth."

Wei Yang has made up his mind, mainly because the drama is not low in size, takes a long time to shoot, and has many scenes.

Hengdian and Xiangshan Film and Television City are okay, but the key is that there are a lot of outdoor scenes, covering the Yellow River, grasslands, and mountain views and scenic spots in some provinces and cities.

There are so many outdoor scenes running around, and the key is that there are a lot of war scenes. It takes many days to shoot outside. Once the schedule is tight, Wei Yang is afraid that he can't even go back to the hotel, and it is very likely that he will stay in the group with the RV.

In this way, Wei Yang can't even take care of himself, let alone take care of two pregnant women, so he can only postpone it.

"Then you rest for most of the past six months?"

"Let's look at it again. If the script of "White Night Chase 2" is passed, I may film this drama and save a bunch of people on Weibo to push for updates every day."

As a result, Wei Yang even regretted it. The "Celebrating More Than Years" trilogy came out too happily and spoiled the audience.

Just like in the previous life, we should delay an advertising drama for five years, and extend the project to five or six seasons to see if they can push it.

Speaking of this, Wei Yang still couldn't help feeling that his conscience was not dark enough.

The Battle of Dadongshan was actually filmed in the second season. The trilogy was taken away in one wave. It was so neat and tidy. Moreover, due to the ancient costume theme, there were not so many embedded advertisements.

How can I have the nerve to call myself a profiteer?

When I go back to the temple to burn incense, I also ask if this is my merit and whether it can offset my karma.

While he was complaining in his heart, Wei Yang suddenly saw the "rightful owner" of "Celebrating More Than Years" standing not far away.

Seeing him talking and laughing with the people next to him, Wei Yang frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to call him over.

Zhang Ruoyun walked over quickly with some anxiety and greeted him respectfully: "Boss, Mr. Zhao."

Before Wei Yang could speak, Zhao Liying smiled first and pointed at the person who was joking with him just now. The latter was watching secretly. When he saw Zhao's actions, he quickly lowered his head.

"That's your girlfriend, why don't you bring her with you?"

"Forehead…"

Zhang Ruoyun glanced at Boss Wei's face, gritted his teeth, turned to greet him, waited for him to come over, and took the initiative to introduce him.

"This is my girlfriend Tang Yixin. I thought there would be many big guys here today, so I brought her over to show off."

In front of Boss Wei and the boss's wife, Zhang Ruoyun did not dare to hide it and honestly stated his purpose. Tang Yixin did not even have the courage to talk to him except to say hello.

According to normal logic, top-notch people like Zhang Ruoyun should not fall in love.

However, Zhang Ruoyun was already with Tang Yixin before signing the contract. The two kept a low profile after that, and the company turned a blind eye.

But this time they were caught by their boss. Both Zhang and Tang were a little nervous, fearing that they would be beaten up.

After all, Zhang Ruoyun is developing very well now, and can even be said to be the top niche student. If his love affair is exposed, it will have a great impact on him. It is not difficult to imagine what a mature boss will choose to do.

"Boss, we..."

The two people were very uncomfortable being looked up and down by Boss Wei. Zhang Ruoyun mustered up the courage and wanted to speak up to defend his love, but was interrupted by Wei Yang.

"Be more restrained in front of people from now on. If you have any ideas, go home to Niwai."

"ah?"

Zhang Ruoyun and the two were a little confused. Zhao Liying smiled gently: "Ah, what, I remind you to be careful in the future. If someone takes a photo and posts it online, the company will have to wipe your ass. Okay, let's go. Don't get together. Come back. Go home sticky."

After sending the two of them away, Wei Yang took a sip of champagne and sighed, "When can I change my soft-heartedness?"

"It's better to be soft and build some virtue for your children."

Zhao Liying touched her belly and teased Wei Yang, saying that beating mandarin ducks is indeed what a mature boss should do, but sometimes Wei Yang is not so mature.

"However, I quite like this guy. I heard that we have been dating him for several years. After he became famous, he has no other tricks. He is not afraid in front of you. He is much better than others."

Zhao Liying did not hesitate to praise her. A man like Zhang Ruoyun, who has a long-lasting love and never forgets his wife when he is wealthy, is indeed recognized by women.

"It seems that someone is about to become a father. How can he be worse than this kid?"

Boss Wei said shamelessly that when it comes to long-term love and wealth, he never forgets his wife. He is no worse than Zhang, but he just has more partners...
