Chapter 154 The Blue Whale with Too Much Money and the Casting of "Eastern Palace"
"Auntie, there's nothing to thank or not to. Sister Bingbing and I are friends, we help each other..."

Wei Yang is chatting with Fan's mother, who can be regarded as a half-strong woman, who came from a system and was her daughter's early manager.Fan Xiaopang's success today is inseparable from her support and cultivation.

After Fan Xiaopang started his own business, Fan's mother also came to the studio and was mainly responsible for financial work.

I don't know if Fan Xiaopang's accident happened later, whether it was Fan's mother's fault...

However, it is precisely because Fan's mother is in charge of finances that she knows how much Wei Yang's play has brought her daughter.

Just from an economic point of view, the film and television share + commercial endorsement + various potential benefits are at least nine figures.

This also made Fan's mother have a very good attitude towards Wei Yang, and even had other ideas. After all, this kind of potential stock that is so young and talented and can make money, no old mother with a daughter would think about it.

Fan Xiaopang has made his debut for so many years, and there have been a lot of scandals. Many times, Fan's mother is also upset. Only this time, it is the most comfortable time for Fan's mother, and she even looks forward to the scandal coming true.

She even tested her daughter for this, and although she didn't get a clear answer, she could tell that Fan Xiaopang had a good impression of Wei Yang.

So this time when Mother Fan came here, she still had some private thoughts, that is, she wanted to inspect Wei Yang's situation face to face.

A man can't just look at his face. It may be because of good luck that he can make money. It can be comprehensively evaluated by combining his speech, behavior and personality.

The result of the investigation is very satisfactory, Wei Yang is young and handsome.He is mature, stable and generous in dealing with people and things. From the attitudes of various guests today, we can see that he has extraordinary abilities and a bright future.

What disappointed her was that Wei Yang was very respectful and polite to her, but when talking about Fan Xiaopang, he only talked about work and friends, and he didn't seem to have other thoughts.

tsk...

I can't find a good son-in-law!

It's even worse to find a good son-in-law, but it may be someone else's son-in-law! ! !

Wei Yang didn't pay too much attention to Fan's mother's psychological fluctuations, he did his best to save face, and never treated her coldly, so that Fan Xiaopang didn't ask him to settle accounts.

After the celebration banquet was over, Wei Yang bid farewell to several important guests one by one, including Mother Fan and Mu Xiaoguang. They were sent to the parking lot, and Mother Fan dragged them to talk for a few minutes before they separated.

Wei Yang turned his head, and just as he was about to go back to the hotel, a man with a tight-fitting cut-length head behind him stared directly at a van not far away and sounded a reminder.

"Boss, there are paparazzi."

Wei Yang looked in the direction, and sure enough there was a figure swaying. When he saw him looking over, he immediately lowered his head.

"Let's negotiate in the past. It's fine to post news, but don't write indiscriminately."

Wei Yang frowned. With his popularity, the paparazzi are indispensable, and it is impossible to drive them all away, nor can they be too rigid, or even confront each other.

So his attitude is that he hopes to get along with the paparazzi in harmony. He can give some information, but he hopes that the other party will know how to measure and don't mess around.

The inch-cut man was also Huo Jun, the bodyguard Wei Yanggang was looking for. It is said that he was Huo Yuanjia's distant relatives. He practiced martial arts since he was a child, and later joined the army.

After the Spring Festival, Wei Yang thought about finding a bodyguard driver. After asking around, someone recommended him. He has an excellent business and a clean net worth.

After getting along for a few days, Wei Yang has a good impression of Huo Jun, with a calm personality, capable of doing things, easy to use and at ease.

After hearing Wei Yang's words, Huo Jun went directly to negotiate, and turned back a few minutes later.

"Boss, they agreed to report normally to prevent their words from being counted. I specifically inquired about their unit address and identity information."

"Ahem, pay attention to propriety, obey the law?"

Wei Yang coughed and reminded: "Don't act like some evil force, just remember the license plate number."

Huo Jun nodded: "Got it."

The next day's news really stopped a lot. Although there was news about Wei Yang sending off Fan's mother, they were all described in a rigid manner, and Mu Xiaoguang was specifically mentioned.

If you follow the paparazzi's normal routine, if you don't come with the title "Wei Yang meets Fan's parents, the mother-in-law becomes happier the more she looks at it", I will be sorry for the gas money back and forth.

However, after doing this, and adding a certain paparazzi named Cao who was killed because of sneak shots, Wei Yang has accumulated a preliminary deterrent force in the paparazzi circle of Shanghai.

All the paparazzi and related media in Shanghai know that this is not someone to mess with, don't treat him as some ordinary popular artist.

Begging for food in the entertainment industry, the paparazzi also have winks, and they have to understand who can be messed with and who can't be messed with.

Especially in this day and age, many aspects are still unsound, and you don’t need to make any big moves, just a little edge kick is enough for you.

In the past, everyone looked at people with old eyes and regarded Wei Yang as a newcomer who had just become popular. This time, they suddenly realized that Wei Yang is not only a handsome man, but also a boss Wei with a net worth of over [-] million and a wide network.

How can someone who started from scratch at a young age and worked so hard before graduating from university be such a simple person...

...

Although the beating effect is good, Wei Yang also knows that it is difficult to completely eradicate the paparazzi, but as long as most of them are suppressed, most of the troubles can be solved.

Wei Yang didn't point out that the leaf would not touch his body, as long as it was not fatal, he would shoot many things.

He didn't take the matter of the paparazzi too seriously, and soon continued to devote himself to the preparations for "Eastern Palace".

At present, the publicity of "Eastern Palace" is to invest 8000 million yuan, but the actual estimated cost is about 5000 million yuan.Part of it is the publicity fee.

The shooting cost should be around 3500 million to 4000 million, which can roughly meet Wei Yang's relatively high standards, but if it is not enough, it will be added.

Among them, the 5000 million cost, Blue Whale invested 2500 million, accounting for 65% of the share, and the remaining 35% of the share was divided into four parts of different sizes, raising 2500 million funds.

Among them, [Emerald Shrimp Film and Television Investment Company] led by Wei Yang invested 1000 million yuan and took 15% of the share.

That is to say, inside and out, Wei Yang controls 80% of "East Palace".

Among them, the blue whale's income is almost all his, and the emerald shrimp has made money, and he gets [-]% of the income.

How should I put it, since he ate alone, others have to say that he led everyone to make a fortune together...

It is also because of this that Wei Yang attaches great importance to "East Palace". This battle must be won, not only to make money, but also to increase the confidence of investors from all walks of life.

At present, the funds in the hands of Emerald Shrimp are only tens of millions, which seems to be a lot, but it is just a drizzle for various funders. To put it bluntly, it is to use money to test the waters for Wei Yang.

If we see that Wei Yang has really made money, everyone will have confidence and increase their support, and other onlookers will also participate.

At that time, the funds available to Emerald Shrimp will not be generally considerable, and Wei Yang can directly lead several projects, and even radiate influence to the film and television circle of Shanghai.

Even now, Wei Yang is already well-known in the film and television circles of Shanghai.

Emerald Shrimp has confirmed its investment in the syndicate's "Three Thousand Golds of the Xia Family" and enjoys a sufficient proportion of the crew.

Behind the syndicate is Keton Media, which is not well-known, but it is actually a well-known company in the industry and has produced many works. It was later acquired by Huace and became the pillar territory of Huace.

"Three Thousand Golds of the Xia Family" is a two-part continuous shooting, 80 episodes were filmed in one go, and the cost is not small, so normally, external investment will be sought.

Maybe the other party also heard that Wei Yang had funds here, so they came over to make contact, and hit it off immediately.

There is still some money left. Wei Yang has not moved it for the time being. He is still waiting to see if he will succeed in tackling the Tang Dynasty.

If it is not possible to reach a cooperation with Tang Ren, then the money will be invested in other projects, or reserved for the follow-up projects of Blue Whale.

It hurts to say, before the Blue Whale was short of money, Wei Yang wished he could split a penny into two and spend it.

In the end, there was no shortage of money, and the two companies, Blue Whale and Emerald Shrimp, could raise nearly [-] million yuan, not to mention other main investors.

But no matter how much money there is, it's useless if the talent and production team can't keep up.

One "Eastern Palace" will involve most of the energy of Blue Whale, and at the same time, it has to be busy with the filming of "Hello, Old Times", the subsequent production and publicity, and the preparation of "Shanshan is Coming".

As a company that has been established for only three years, it has re-emerged for less than a year after the change.

Blue Whale is running three film and television projects at the same time, with a total investment of nearly [-] million, and other miscellaneous tasks. Right now, the company is already under heavy workload.

Even if many businesses can be outsourced, your core team must be your own people.

This is a team brought out by Wei Yang and has experienced multiple projects. It doesn't mean that simply recruiting some people can quickly join in and take charge of their own.

Therefore, under such circumstances, even if Wei Yang has money and heart, he can only look at other companies.

Otherwise, we will forcefully start a new project, not to mention whether Blue Whale will collapse internally, and the quality cannot be guaranteed.

Wei Yang and Blue Whale have come to the present, high reputation and high grades are the greatest magic weapon, saying that they can't smash their own signs, otherwise the current great trend will collapse in an instant.

So Lao Xia is very busy now, calling headhunting companies every day, and searching for people everywhere in Shanghai, Beijing, and Xiangjiang.

It is hoped that in the second half of the year, at least one or two relatively mature core production teams can be organized, and at the same time, the scale of relevant supporting departments will be expanded, and a backup talent training plan will be formulated to solve the embarrassment of the company's lack of personnel.

In late February, the work related to "East Palace" was basically on track, and it is expected to go to Dunhuang to start filming in March.

At the same time, part of the casting work for "Eastern Palace" is almost completed.

A few old actors were determined first. In the play, the emperor who was changed to Li Dynasty asked Mr. Wang Jinsong to act, that is, Uncle Dong in "Ice Breaking Action", and the queen was Mrs. Liu Lin, who was the eldest lady and the "Knowledge" De Hua of "Parents Love".

These two are actors that Wei Yang personally likes very much, but they are still in a tepid state, and Wei Yang plans to give them a hand.

The queen's uncle, Gao Xiang, Wei Yang felt that the original version of Wang Zhifei played well, and he didn't plan to change it, but he didn't have a schedule, so he found Ni Dahong.

The other supporting roles are not difficult, they are all familiar old actors, including Wei Yang's acquaintances.

Teacher Yue Yueli of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" plays the role of the heroine's father, King Xizhou.

Wei Yang was more hesitant about Gu Jian, the second male lead, because the heroine was using a newcomer, and most of the old actors were not familiar with familiar faces, so he tended to find someone who was somewhat famous.

The role of Gu Jian is set to be older than the male protagonist, probably an actor around 27 or 30 years old is more suitable.

Based on Wei Yang's experience, if he is indecisive, he will first check the list of students who will be performing.

Lu Yi, Hu Ge, Tong Dawei's level is enough, hard to hire and expensive, but there is still hope for Nie Yuan, Bao Jianfeng, Zhao Yang and the like.

Wei Yang looked at other actors in the market, and there were more actors who met the requirements. He could even bring in Qiao Zhenyu, Cui Peng, and Wang Yang who had worked with him before.

So Wei Yang didn't struggle for too long, he picked out a few suitable ones and sent out invitations, as long as it's OK to set the makeup.

The most important thing that has kept him hanging in the balance is the choice of the heroine.

Rouba VS Nazar
Who to choose?
