Who are you calling powerful?

[This movie tells us that we must have our own movies and our own film industry, telling our own ideas and stories in a Hollywood way]

[The most exciting thing about "The Wandering Earth" is not the plot or the special effects, but the perspective shifted from heroes to the people, including the "male protagonist" Liu Qi, who just happened to be next to the camera. The countless characters with unyielding fates in the whole movie are the real protagonists]

[In American blockbusters, human beings survive only because of the protagonist's good luck, while in "The Wandering Earth", a "Chinese blockbuster", human beings survive by themselves and the struggle of all mankind]

[In "Wolf Warrior 2", "Operation Mekong", "Operation Red Sea" and now "The Wandering Earth", Wei Yang and Blue Whale have come up with excellent works of "unpopular themes" such as military and science fiction, despite all kinds of "rationalists" ridicule, and have made up the gap with Hollywood]

[When he was the chairman of the Film Association, some people said that the Chinese film industry compromised with capital. Can you give me an example of a movie that did not compromise? "The Great Wall"? "Monster Hunt 2"? Or "Legend of the Demon Cat" that a group of people can't understand? 】

【Wei Yang and Blue Whale are not perfect filmmakers and film companies, but they are definitely the best and most conscientious filmmakers and film companies in the Chinese film industry】

【……】

Wei Yang was reading the praises of himself on Zhihu, feeling a little corny, but honestly adding them to his favorites.

"The Wandering Earth" has really given him enough impression points this time.

Not only officially, but also at the public level, it really feels like he has changed from a capitalist to an entrepreneur.

"It's a great honor. I have to treat Wu Jing and Guo Fan to a meal later. It's so great."

Wei Yang was in a good mood. As mentioned earlier, with his wealth, although he still cares about making money, making money is not his biggest need.

Just like the chairman of the Film Association, Wei Yang doesn't have to be the chairman.

He can still achieve many goals as a nominal vice chairman, and it's easier.

But when the opportunity comes, Wei Yang wants to change something, so even if the chairman of the Film Association gives him limited benefits, or even a thankless job and a waste of time and energy, he is willing to give it a try.

Behind this is Wei Yang's good intentions for the industry, his idealistic expectations, and his desire to be in the limelight and to have a good reputation.

Boss Wei has never been a saint!

He himself said that the reason why he is so rich and still makes movies is because of his vanity and enjoys the feeling of being in the center of the stage.

With such a personality, how could Wei Yang not pursue fame and reputation? He doesn't count on his personal style, so he will try to build a good reputation in other aspects.

"The Wandering Earth" meets Wei Yang's needs.

Everyone thinks that although Boss Wei is a scumbag and sometimes likes to make bad money, he has never stopped making high-quality blockbusters. He supports Chinese films wholeheartedly, like a holy white lotus against the muddy background of his peers.

He is really, I cry to death!

Wei·White Lotus·Yang was watching Zhihu seriously, and Fatty Fan leaned over and glanced at him with his child in his arms.

"I watched for more than two hours yesterday, and I touched my phone early this morning. Haven't you finished appreciating those rainbow farts?"

"I've almost appreciated them."

Wei Yang slid the screen and took two screenshots: "After the Spring Festival, the Film Association will have a meeting, and there may also be some literary and artistic symposiums. I will find some materials and absorb inspiration, so that I can speak meaningfully at that time."

Fan Xiaopang thought about it and couldn't help laughing: "Speaking of which, you are lucky enough. The Film Association has only been in office for a few days, and a movie "The Wandering Earth" that has a close relationship with you has been released. This year, just praising this movie is enough for you to show off."

"This is not luck, but strength."

Boss Wei corrected him. This is just the beginning. "The Wandering Earth" is just the beginning. 2019 is a peak year for the Chinese film industry, and there are still many movies that have not been released.

As the chairman of the Film Association, everything related to him is inseparable from his contributions. It doesn't matter. His identity is also unavoidable.

When we take stock at the end of the year, Chairman Wei has achieved such a good result just one year after taking office. Who wouldn't give a thumbs up?

It doesn't matter if the car crashes next year, because the market environment is not good, it is fate, and it has nothing to do with Chairman Wei.

To be more shameless, you can even lead the rhythm, if it weren't for Chairman Wei, Chinese-language films would have been difficult to recover for many years.

That being said, Boss Wei couldn't help sighing when he thought of the next three years, and he wanted to maintain and stabilize the market as much as possible whenever he had time.

It's not easy for the Chinese-language film market to get to where it is today. It's easy to decline and shrink, but it's hard to get back to the top.

But there's no way, this is not just an industry problem, but a problem of the environment.

The entire global film and television market is not doing well, and even Hollywood is a mess.

For example, the massive screenwriter strike, on the surface, is due to salary issues, the rise of artificial intelligence, the collision between the traditional screenwriter industry and the streaming media era, etc., but the actual root cause is still the sluggish market.

In a sluggish market, capital will try every means to reduce costs, which will inevitably touch the interests of all parties.

Screenwriters are one of them, and in addition to the long-standing grievances, the contradictions finally broke out.

Looking at it this way, I don't know whether to say that the domestic environment is better and everyone can still survive, or that without the guidance of the trade union, everyone is in disarray and can't even resist capital exploitation.

There was not much time to sigh, Wei Yang was dragged by Fan Xiaopang to watch him go to the styling studio to try on clothes.

In two days, she was invited to watch the Paris Fashion Week. Now she is choosing clothes with her team and asked Boss Wei to go with her to give some suggestions.

Although Boss Wei often said that his fashion aesthetics were not particularly good and he did not know much about this aspect, his status was there.

No matter how awesome the designer was, he would not dare to say that he had a better vision than the upper class, because he was the top upper class.

And the so-called high-end fashion brands and luxury goods value this the most.

So Boss Wei's perspective may not represent correctness, but it has a certain reference value.

Wei Yang was idle and joined in the fun, but when he got in the car, he suddenly remembered.

"Paris Fashion Week? I remember Rouba is going too."

"Not only her, but the Yang Mi you met yesterday is going too."

With the rise of the domestic consumer goods market in recent years, many luxury goods and fashion brands have more and more Chinese stars appearing at many fashion shows and brand shows for publicity purposes.

Celebrities improve their status + get in touch with fashion business resources, and brands increase their influence and make money, and both sides achieve a win-win situation.

Of course, those who can be formally invited by the organizers are usually some top stars, some internet celebrities and small stars, most of whom are just freeloaders.

There is no need to say much about the popularity of Fan Xiaopang and others. They are also the darlings of fashion luxury brands. It is normal for them to be invited to watch the show.

Wei Yang was not surprised by this. He was worried that the two sides would encounter friction in Paris, but now he heard what Fan Xiaopang said, and he was more surprised that Fan Xiaopang knew that he went to secretly meet Da Mimi yesterday.

"Ah? Who to meet?"

Before he came back, he obviously took a shower, changed clothes, and did a smell-covering treatment. He shouldn't be discovered.

Fan Xiaopang sneered: "Do you know that she was photographed by paparazzi today and was on the hot search."

Wei Yang really had no impression of this. Could it be that he was exposed? No, if something really went wrong, Da Mimi and the team would have to contact her.

Looking at the bewildered Boss Wei, Fan Xiaopang turned on his phone, called up the hot search, and confronted him.

"Watch it yourself."

Wei Yang took the phone and watched it. The video was not long. It was just a paparazzi's gossip information. It was probably a video of Da Mimi at the airport, indicating that she officially returned to work after the New Year and left for the city.

It was just a very ordinary celebrity information. Considering that the paparazzi also wished her a prosperous career in the new year, he even suspected that it was a press release from Da Mimi.

Wei Yang watched it twice and didn't find anything suspicious. He could only let Fan Xiaopang reveal the truth himself.

"Look at her sunglasses. They are exactly the same as the ones you wore when you went out yesterday. When you came back last night, the sunglasses were gone. Today, the sunglasses are on her face."

"You can recognize it with such blurry picture quality?"

Wei Yang was stunned. The paparazzi probably zoomed in from a distance and the picture quality was not particularly clear. At least it was difficult for him to see the model of the glasses clearly.

Fan Xiaopang not only recognized it, but also matched his sunglasses. His observation ability is so terrifying.

"That's not right."

Boss Wei was a little confused, and finally realized halfway through: "I clearly brought the sunglasses back... You cheated me."

Boss Wei rarely made such a low-level mistake of losing things, and he often used sunglasses, so it was impossible for him to lose them. Even if he really lost them, Da Mimi would probably tell him.

"It's mainly because you feel guilty."

Fan Xiaopang was very calm, not only because he felt guilty, but also because Wei Yang didn't cover it up.

The excuse for going out yesterday was a bit far-fetched, and he changed clothes and took a shower when he came back. There must be something fishy.

At this stage, the only one in Beijing is Da Mimi. If not to see her, who else would he meet?

"I just went to send New Year's goods, I didn't do anything."

Boss Wei tried to save his reputation, and he felt a little dissatisfied. If it was in front of Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying, he would not have revealed such a big flaw, and even if he did, he would not have said something wrong.

And what can Fan Xiaopang say?

It has been mentioned before that it might be purely physical at the beginning, and he didn't care about other things. Wei Yang exposed a lot of his true feelings to Fan, so although Fan was jealous, he didn't get angry very often, which made him less vigilant in this regard when facing Fan Xiaopang.

Then again, Fan Xiaopang's personality is also a bit picky.

If Zhao and Liu, even if they found something fishy, ​​sometimes they would make a fuss, and sometimes they would turn a blind eye and pretend to be confused, she would jump out to show her skills and mock Boss Wei.

Boss Wei was a little autistic, and he was a little depressed when he arrived at the styling studio.

Fan Xiaopang was very happy, but the makeup and styling team were scared, thinking that he was not satisfied with the makeup.

But when Boss Wei realized this later, he took the initiative to buy coffee for everyone, and ordered a set of luxurious meal takeaways at noon, which was considered spiritual compensation.

At the same time, he secretly took photos of Fan Xiaopang's styling and sent them to Da Mimi and Rouba.

I hope they know each other and give Fan Xiaopang a red carpet show to help him get back his reputation. However, considering Fan Xiaopang's appearance and the queen's aura that has become more and more domineering as his career has become successful in the past two years, Boss Wei does not hold much hope.

…

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, "Do You Know?" started filming in Hengdian, but Wei Yang did not show up.

Although he is the male lead in this drama, his role is mainly concentrated in the middle and late stages, and the early stage is mainly centered on the female lead and the Sheng family. In addition, several episodes in the early stage use young actors, and even Zhao Liying only appears in the fourth episode.

So Wei Yang is not in a hurry to join the crew of "Do You Know?", and it is not too late to join in a month.

In theory, Zhao Liying does not need to rush, but she is the chief producer, so she still chooses to follow the crew directly.

Although Boss Wei was not in a hurry to join the crew, he still went to Hengdian to take a look before leaving Beijing to return to Shanghai.

After all, the stall of "Knowing or Not" is quite large, and there is a lot of attention from all parties. Wei Yang's exposure can be regarded as a deterrent, which is good for both the crew and the outside world.

"Knowing or Not" is set in the Song Dynasty, and the filming location is the Qingming Shanghe Tu Base in Hengdian.

This is also considered an "old acquaintance". Zhao Liying's main filming location for "The Journey of Flower" was here before, and "Joy of Life" and "Nirvana in Fire" were also filmed here.

When Wei Yang arrived, the crew had been in production for two days, mainly filming the first few episodes.

The leading actors are Liu Jun, who plays Red Wolf, Liu Lin, who plays the eldest lady, and Cao Cuifen, the old lady Sheng.

These actors are also old acquaintances of Wei Yang, and they have all worked together.

Liu Lin is the most familiar. They met when they were filming "Eastern Palace". Later, she signed with Coral Entertainment and is still an artist under Wei Yang.

Cao Cuifen played Fan Xian's grandmother in the "Celebrating Yu Nian" series and also appeared in "Chi Le Chuan". Although she didn't have many scenes, she had a good relationship with Wei Yang, who respected the elderly. Before her birthday, Wei Yang specially recorded a VCR and sent a birthday gift.

Liu Jun has the least cooperation. He played a member of the Northern Wei royal family with great ambitions but little talent in "Chi Le Chuan".

This person is very suitable for playing the role of a cowardly and noisy teammate with high expectations and low skills, and he grasped it very well.

The role of Honglang in "Knowing or Not" is simply his comfort zone. Even if he doesn't open the God's perspective and let Wei Yang choose the role, he is one of the most suitable candidates.

However, compared with the three old friends, what surprised Wei Yang the most were the two young actors, that is, the childhood of the male and female protagonists--

Little Minglan and Little Gu Er!

Perhaps because of the change in production time, the two young actors were all replaced, and they should have been carefully selected. They both have certain similarities with Zhao Liying and Wei Yang.

The little girl has a chubby face and looks very cute. She does have some shadows of Zhao Liying's sweet period.

The little boy looks more like her, with at least 30% similar eyebrows and eyes. The makeup artist also did some processing, and Wei Yang himself was a little dazed.

Apart from the high points and white spots, the face is softer and the eyes are slightly smaller. At first glance, it really looks a bit like his teenage years.

He and the child stand together, and only a few similar faces are more fitting. People would believe that they are father and son.

If the child is not already a teenager, Zhao Liying would suspect that this is the real Wei Da Shao.

Wei Yang is also a little suspicious, but not about himself, but whether his father made a mistake when he was young.

However, this child is from the south, and Comrade Wei has never left Shandong Province since he can remember. It can only be said that it is fate.

After all, there are many people who look alike in the circle, such as Li Yitong, Sun Yi, Li Xin, a certain Wang, Li Zhiting and Pubajia, Dong Xuan and Tong Yaya, and there are still a lot of people who can't tell them apart...
