Chapter 121 Wei Yang: I'm Almighty Because I'm Poor
After "You Who Came from the Stars", Wei Yang thought about many works, all of which were immature.

"A Thousand Bone of Flowers" and "Ancient Sword and Strange Tan" these fairy tale puppet shows cost too much, and they need games and other peripheral accessories, so it's a pity to start them hastily.

Works such as "The Pretender" and "Langya Bang" have more serious themes than idol dramas. Whether it is Wei Yang himself or the team of Blue Whale, they are not sure whether they can be shot well.

And right now, whether it is the market or the audience and fan groups, the impression of Wei Yang is more inclined to idol dramas, and easy transformation is not a good strategy.

Therefore, Wei Yang's plan is to get an ancient puppet first, to consolidate the popularity and achievements of himself and the company, and then seek the next step of development.

Wei Yang thought about it comprehensively, and the drama "East Palace" came into his eyes.

Frankly speaking, the original time and space of this drama is not particularly popular, but it has a lot of stamina, and the related discussions are extremely high.

The reason why he didn't get out of the circle is that the tragedy theme + the lack of fame of the hero and heroine accounted for a large proportion.

Wei Yang does not reject tragedy, and "Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle Star" is also sad, and it is still very popular.

The hero and heroine of the original drama were not popular enough, but now he is taking advantage of "You Who Came from the Star" to star in, and the exposure is estimated to have improved a lot.

Wei Yang even thought that Liu Shishi would be co-starred in this show. With their current fame and popularity, the three-time cooperation "Eastern Palace" played the male and female protagonists, and the topic was directly full.

In his heart, Liu Shishi is quite suitable for this role, but Wei Yang is worried that the people of Tang will not let him go.

There are several dramas waiting for Liu Shishi behind the Tang Dynasty, and there are even dramas in which the heroine plays the leading role.

It is related to the interests of Tang people, and from the perspective of career development, the family's plan for Liu Shishi is not bad, Cai Yinong may not agree to lend.

Even Wei Yang couldn't say anything, and he didn't treat Liu Shishi badly, he showed his heart to heart, even if his company's productions were not filmed, and he would go out every three days, he wouldn't nod.

This can only be discussed slowly by the two parties, and even he can't let Liu Shishi express his position, so as not to appear as a partnership between the two of them.

But if Liu Shishi doesn't play the role, Xiao Zhao and Zhao Ji are definitely inappropriate, while other famous actresses are not inappropriate, and Wei Yang is not willing to give up resources.

There was no way to find Fan Xiaopang at the beginning, he pointed at Fan Xiaopang to invest and sell money.

Now that Wei Yang has a certain confidence, he naturally hopes to maximize his benefits.

That's all for Liu Shishi, after all, she is his girlfriend, and the fat water has not flowed into the fields of outsiders.

In addition, Wei Yang definitely hopes to be able to praise his own artists and make money by being popular, and he is the one who gets the most of it.

The last result is also an exchange of benefits, such as giving a female lead to another company, and the other party will give the Blue Whale back a good deal of resources.

Wei Yang, who is used to preparing everything with both hands, considered the appearance and setting of the original heroine, wondering whether it is possible to dig out one of Gu Li Nazha and Di Li Rouba in advance...

Leaving aside the heroine, the more important thing now is the director and investment.

Wei Yang intended for Lin Yufen to take the shoot, since the latter's puppet quality is not to be questioned, so it's best to sign it directly.

It is worth mentioning that although Lin Yufen is a director of the Tang Dynasty, she has not signed a contract with the Tang Dynasty, and belongs to a company in Taiwan Province, so Wei Yang has no worries about poaching a corner.

At the same time, Wei Yang also plans to recruit Li Muge, the original director of "East Palace", as the executive director.

The latter is very good at shooting scenes and beauties, with first-class art skills and persuasive aesthetics online. "Eastern Palace" and "Si Teng" perfectly interpret the charm of the two actresses.

However, this guy is not good at filming plots, and is more suitable for helping others. He can take the lead by himself, and it all depends on the status and works.

This guy has just debuted and hasn't made a name for himself yet, so it's easy to find.

The original version of "East Palace" can be popular, the actors and the plot are one aspect, and the persuasion is also the key.

Needless to say, Wei Yang paid great attention to this, and was not prepared to save money on this.

The cost of the original version of "Eastern Palace" was not high, it was only 5000 million according to rumors, mainly because the actors' pay was low and all the money was spent on filming.

The current cost is definitely not as good as in the next few years, but Wei Yang's salary will not be too low, and he also wants to further improve the quality of Fuhuadao, so the estimated investment of "East Palace" is 3500 million to 5000 million.

This is a real investment. In the current TV drama market, apart from some special crews, it can be regarded as the first echelon.

Even at this cost, it is actually possible to shoot fairy tales and ancient puppets, but the quality of the special effects is hard to say, and the cost of that thing is not worth the money.

Wei Yang's family will definitely not be able to get this money, so they need to invest more.

But whether you can get it or not depends on the performance of "You Who Came from the Star" and Wei Yang's popularity.

Especially for the latter, the crew may be able to attract investment if they make money, but whether the show can be sold at a higher price depends on whether Wei Yang's popularity alone can support such a large crew like Fan Xiaopang.

If not, Wei Yang would have to recruit Liu Shishi, or find other famous actresses to increase the gold content of the lineup, so as to facilitate negotiations with the TV station.

"..."

After a meeting, Wei Yang couldn't help but feel a headache and tiredness, his background was still weak, he had to check everything, and there were some other opinions within the company.

Although Blue Whale is developing well now, it is too big a step to carry out three projects in one go.

The first two projects were nothing more than that, but the cost of "East Palace" was too high in the end, and the people in the company hoped that Wei Yang could take a break and make a small-to-medium-cost drama first.

Wait until these three plays are all sold and have enough financial strength before making such a big move.

It's not that Wei Yang doesn't understand this truth. In fact, he is not a radical person himself, but he doesn't treat himself when it matters.

If the development is not going well, he will bear it, but the current momentum is just right, Wei Yang really has to look forward to Shu, and his uncontrollable ambition is bursting.

After all, if you don’t hurry up and develop at this time, when Internet capital enters the market on a large scale, you will not even have the qualifications to discuss cooperation with relatively equal colleagues, and you can only be accepted as a dog.

Wei Yang doesn't want to be a dog, especially if he has the opportunity to be an upright adult, he definitely wants to seize it.

People change with the situation, and their inner desires will never be satisfied.

At first, Wei Yang only thought about being a star and earning more money. Later, he wanted to be a small boss, gain a little right to speak, and become the boss of the crew.

Now that he has become a small capital, he immediately thinks about becoming a big capital. Maybe in a few years, Wei Yang may start thinking about becoming an industry leader and entertainment giant.

So Wei Yang yelled that he was tired, had a headache and was upset, but in fact he was still very motivated. If he really didn't want to do it, he would find ways to do it badly.

...

In October, Wei Yang took time out of his busy schedule to come to Beijing to participate in "Very Quiet Distance", which is currently a popular interview variety show in the Mainland.

After Wei Yang became famous, he has actually been invited to many variety shows, but he is too busy to be invited.

This time Li Jing was able to invite him, and it was through the help of a TV station leader that Wei Yang flew to the capital to participate in the recording.

At the backstage of the show, Li Jing was very happy to see Wei Yang: "I was looking forward to you. Do you know that when I heard that you came to record the show, the phone number of our program group almost went off the hook."

Wei Yang was puzzled, and the latter explained: "You show too little, fans want to come to see you live, and our program team can't answer the registration call."

"Indeed, I haven't participated in too many program activities."

"Isn't that right? We checked your announcements, and you've only appeared on variety shows three or four times this year. This doesn't look like a young student who has just become popular."

"Sister Jing said that I will take on more variety shows and events in the future."

Wei Yang nodded. He was born behind the scenes, and sometimes he really doesn't like to show his face, but now his status has changed after all. This habit is not completely changed, but it still needs to be adjusted appropriately.

"That's a good deal. I'll make an announcement for you next year. You can't refuse me this time."

"No problem, my sister and I have a phone call, you can call me directly then."

Compared with another host who is known for his low emotional intelligence, Li Jing's communication skills are not bad, she is very measured and warm, chatting with Wei Yang, an old oily person, is a pleasure for the host and guest, and hits it off right away.

Even later, Li Jing simply took this state into the official recording, and chatted with Wei Yangchang according to the script.

"I see from your information that you first applied for a major in Drama, Literature and Drama, and then you transferred to the Department of Acting?"

"Yes."

Wei Yang smiled: "In fact, I have always liked writing, so my dream at the time was to be a screenwriter, so I got into the Department of Drama and Literature during the art test."

Li Jing is good at chatting: "You are so handsome, did someone misunderstand that you went to the wrong examination room during the art examination?"

"There really are, and there are several."

Wei Yang talked about an interesting story during the art exam: "...a teacher from the acting department kept persuading me to apply for the acting department. Later, after I started school, I changed my major, and this teacher helped me."

"Now you are both a screenwriter and an actor. From the bottom of your heart, which profession do you prefer?"

Wei Yang thought for a while, and then said firmly: "Screenwriter!"

Although he is now beginning to enjoy the profession of an actor, screenwriting is his obsession and love for two lifetimes...

"Since I prefer screenwriting, why did I switch to the acting department?"

Li Jing asked a very sharp question, but Wei Yang didn't shy away from it: "Because actors make more money."

Wei Yang also analyzed his own plans: "Being an actor doesn't mean he won't be a screenwriter, but if he doesn't learn acting, he can only be a screenwriter. I don't think I can waste my face."

Li Jing and the audience at the scene were amused by Wei Yang's straightforwardness. There are still very few artists who are so "bronze" and unabashedly confident in their appearance.

"You are an actor, screenwriter, writer, and now you are a producer. You run your own business and you can write songs. Many people have the impression that you are [Almighty]. Do you think this is your talent?"

"I don't deny that I may have a certain talent, but I think it is mainly due to the environment."

Li Jing was curious: "What environment?"

"poverty!"

Wei Yang spread his hands: "When I was poor in college, I just wanted to make money. If I didn't have enough money, I wanted to earn another. In order to make money, I kept squeezing my potential, and then I became omnipotent."

Li Jing: "..."

audience:"……"

How did this guy make him pretend to be round and inspirational...
