Who are you calling powerful?.

Chapter 504 Wei Yang: I am famously generous.

In late June, the annual summer vacation has arrived.

Throughout June, there will be 6 movies released, and the most popular one is Hollywood's "Jurassic World."

This spin-off movie of the "Jurassic Park" series has achieved great box office success around the world, and the current box office in the Mainland has reached nearly 14 billion yuan.

According to previous years, this box office performance can already compete for the first place in the year, and has been widely praised by major media.

However, the overall box office exploded this year!

During the Spring Festival, "Detective Chinatown" hit a box office of 24.02 billion, winning the championship in film history, and "Fast and Furious 7" followed closely behind it and also broke the 20 billion box office mark.

In May, "Avengers 5", Marvel's biggest killer, also scored an impressive 2 billion+.

In half a year, there were two movies with a box office of 20 billion+, and a total of two movies with a box office of 10 billion+. "Jurassic World" couldn't even make it into the top three, and naturally it couldn't gain a sense of presence.

On the other hand, "Detective Chinatown" is surrounded by the three major Hollywood series and always comes out on top.

It's a pity that "Detective Chinatown" is a comedy movie with limited main theme elements, otherwise the effect would be better.

If you are the president of the Chinese Screenwriters Association, you may still have a lot of controversies and disputes, but in a local branch in Shanghai, as long as the internal members have the same attitude, it doesn't matter even if they go out of line.

After the inspection, the leaders were very satisfied and highly recognized Blue Whale’s outstanding contribution as a leading enterprise in the local cultural, film and television field in Shanghai.

The inspection later made the news on Shanghai TV, which caused a great impact at least in the Shanghai circle.

After discussion, Fatty Yu finally chose the August schedule.

Strictly speaking, Wei Yang had a chance to make it in the last term, but considering his age, he took it a step further.

In addition, there is another title that Wei Yang is very fond of, that is, the Two Congresses, which is very important for a businessman and star.

As mentioned before, the total budget of the audience for watching movies is so much, and early release is more advantageous. If the movie is released late, the money in the pockets of the audience will be emptied by the previous viewers, which will definitely have a negative impact on the box office.

The reason why he joins these associations is that the opponent's strength is there and there is no way to avoid it. The second reason is to get a golden body. The more status and titles, the thicker the golden body.

Among them, Wei Yang is likely to serve as the president of the Shanghai Screenwriters Association, which is already the vice president.

In addition to these film and television associations, Wei Yang also added several business and Internet associations.

This is an out-and-out theme movie. If this movie also becomes a hit, then Blue Whale will be even more "popular" and Boss Wei's golden body will be thicker.

So I blamed Fatty for being too hesitant, or making a decision early, but when he finally made up his mind, the schedule was almost set. Unless Hand-to-Hand was released directly at the same time, he would have to choose the more conservative August schedule.

If we say that Wei Yang was just one of the big guys in the Shanghai circle before.

If nothing else happens, Wei Yangbao will be the vice chairman of the next term of the Magic City Television Artists Association, the Magic City Filmmakers Association, and the Magic City Screenwriters Association.

It is an indisputable fact that Wei Yang's voice and influence in the Shanghai circle are growing.

Nowadays, with PPTV, whose market capitalization is skyrocketing, Blue Whale is also achieving great results, and other companies including Red Shark are also able to take advantage of it. Boss Wei, who has already achieved industrial integration and has become more powerful, has a certain influence in the Shanghai circle. The posture of a leader.

However, there are more big guys here. Wei Yang is not trying to seize the class and seize power. The one who is the best is the Magic City Youth League. There is no way, who makes him young? It is easiest to be taken seriously in this kind of organization.

In the first half of the year, when Hollywood launched a massive offensive and domestic films were overwhelmed, the already eye-catching "Detective Chinatown" became even more domineering and calm.

However, he also has "Operation Mekong" on his hands.

"Operation Mekong" was released during this summer season.

This statement is not necessarily accurate, and it is hard to say how big the impact will be.

But in this summer season, there are so many good movies in July that releasing them in August is really a disadvantage.

With this movie on the list, even if Blue Whale does nothing, it can bring a steady stream of performance feedback.

Because this year’s summer season is very busy, there are several famous and famous movies, and they are basically all released in July.

Wei Yang saw it clearly!

Outstanding performance at the box office is a solid result. If it is closer to the main theme and performs more actively in some places, it is a combination of soft and hard results.

As Wei Yang said, making money as a film history champion is secondary, the key is various soft benefits.

Wei Yang was willing to do the first two, but he didn't want to be taken advantage of by the latter. Besides, he didn't have that much time.

Although this statement has not been recognized by everyone, more and more people and companies are moving closer to Boss Wei.

But not all titles can be used!

Some are to increase his golden status, some are to increase his influence in the industry, and some are to use his fame and influence to promote the banner.

Rumor has it that as the second quarter of this year is coming to an end, a major leader praised the performance of "Detective Chinatown" at a relevant meeting.

In Shanghai, the head of publicity and the yamen adjutant in charge of related business also visited Blue Whale Company in person. Boss Wei asked for leave from the crew and returned to Shanghai overnight to receive the reception.

And moving to September and National Day, there are already many movies scheduled, and it is another fierce battle.

This session of the Magic City is basically decided. Whether he can go to the capital depends on the situation. Wei Yang does not insist on it. Holding the title of the Magic City is enough to reduce the harassment of some flies. For him in the Magic City There are also some gains in various aspects.

You know, Wei Yang is still under 30 years old. Even if the Screenwriters Association is only a semi-official non-governmental organization, it is shocking enough for Wei Yang to become the president of the association.

It was originally scheduled to be released during the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, but Fatty Yu couldn't wait any longer. He wanted to ride on the popularity of Wei Yang in "Detective Chinatown", so he moved the movie to release in August.

But there is no other way. Boss Wei's status is too high and he can provide a lot of help to the editorial and assistant industry. No one else can control the situation, so he is simply promoted to the position.

In addition, there were some miscellaneous small organizations and associations, many of which became vice presidents or even top leaders, but Wei Yang did not join in the fun.

Without "Wolf Warrior" and "The Wandering Earth", could Wu Jing and Guo Fan become vice presidents of the Film Association?

Without "Changjin Lake" and "Heroes of Fire" and other main theme movies with "double success in box office and word-of-mouth", how many people can Fatty Yu and Huang Xiaoming take the lead?

By the way, even the four-character prince was ignored, and he became a director at a young age. Although he has shortcomings, the movie box office data is indeed unique among the new generation.

That's why Wei Yang tried every means to keep "Detective Chinatown" as the film history champion.

Frankly speaking, this approach is a bit irrational.

He believes that "Operation Mekong" still has its signature, Weiyang is very popular, and August is also the summer season, so even if it has an impact, it won't be too much.

Therefore, "Operation Mekong" is scheduled to be released on August 8th, and what gives Wei Yang a headache is that almost immediately, "Nirvana in Fire" is also broadcast in early August.

This has been decided for a long time. Wei Yang's "White Night" will be filmed until July, and filming of the new movie will start in September.

"Nirvana in Fire" will be broadcast in August, just in tandem with "Legend of Dance", dominating the summer schedule, which is in line with PPTV's summer strategy, and Wei Yang also has time to participate in promotions.

As a result, Fatty Yu's actions greatly increased Wei Yang's work intensity.

Fortunately, Wei Yang's influence in the field of TV dramas is not a joke. The promotion work of "Nirvana in Fire" is easier, and "Operation Mekong" is not the main control of Blue Whale. Wei Yang can fish appropriately. After all, he even had to thank Fatty Yu.

If "Operation Mekong" is moved to the Spring Festival and Lunar New Year slots, 80% of Wei Yang's new movie will be scheduled for these two schedules, and the promotion work and road shows of the two movies will be run together. He had to lose a few kilograms of meat.

...

In early July, Director Chen's "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" was released first.

Although Director Chen's reputation has become worse and worse in the past two years, he chose the leading role very wisely this time.

One of the most popular movie actors currently...Wang Baoqiang!

"Detective Chinatown" Wei Yang is unmatched in the limelight, and Wang Baoqiang is also not bad at all.

Wei Yang is even more popular because he is the producer and creator of this movie, and he is also the biggest beneficiary of this movie. The better the movie's performance, the higher his sense of existence.

In fact, purely in terms of roles, Wang Baoqiang, who plays Tang Ren, is more likable.

Wang Baoqiang's national reputation is not bad to begin with. In the past two years, he has released "囧", "Detective Chinatown", and the crazy "Run".

All combined, Wang Baoqiang's popularity has accumulated to a terrifying level.

Even with the name of Director Chen, there are still people who come to the cinema to support Wang Baoqiang.

It's a bit like "Changjin Lake" and "Man Jiang Hong" in the previous life. Many people were dissatisfied with Director Chen, Lao Mouzi and Four Characters, but they still went to the cinema one after another to watch Wu Jing and Shen Teng.

Therefore, good movie actors have always been in high demand, because they really recruit people in theaters...

Wei Yang had watched "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" in his previous life. He didn't want to join in the fun, but he couldn't resist Naza and tried to seduce him with some gestures, so he still contributed a ticket.

What should I say about this movie? It would be an exaggeration to say that I didn't understand it, but to say that I did understand it is hard to explain.

One word evaluation: Director Chen’s old habit——

Pack!

Anyway, after watching the whole movie, Wei Yang was most impressed by Sister Zhiling. As for her sex scene with Teacher Fan, Wei Yang felt that the vote was not a loss.

Although Wei Yang has a general impression of the movie "The Taoist Descending the Mountain", he can still understand some of the connotations and metaphors.

Naza was just watching the fun, going in and out with a confused head. If Wei Yang hadn't explained it to her, she would have thought Zhang Zhen and Guo Tianwang were good brothers.

"If I had known, I might as well have watched cartoons!"

Nazha didn't care about the two tickets, but she felt it was a waste of time. The most annoying thing was that Wei Yang was more serious about watching sister Zhiling's scenes, which made her a little bit sour.

What's there to see about an old woman who talks in a deep voice? !

"You're right, it's better to watch cartoons. I'll take you to watch cartoons in a few days."

Nazar: "???"

Then she suddenly reacted and suddenly realized: "Is it the Gao Liu who was on your computer before... woo hoo..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Yang covered his mouth. This girl was fine in other aspects, but talking was too troublesome for her brain. He felt that sooner or later, she would suffer a big loss.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm talking about the animation of "Journey to the West"."

Naza was confused and opened her mouth slightly: "Is "Journey to the West" also made into this kind of animation? Princess Iron Fan or Jade Rabbit... Wuwu..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Yang covered his mouth again. It was rare for Boss Wei to become so angry.

"I'm talking about animation movies, Journey to the West themed animation movies, serious ones that are released in theaters."

"oh oh."

Naza nodded, her delicate little face a little aggrieved. She couldn't rely on her to think too much about it. Who asked Wei Yang to show her those messy things first.

Wei Yang glared at him fiercely. Did he read it? He was obviously looking through his own study materials.

It's all Li Jiahang's fault. He read it himself and insisted on sending him a copy. That means he was soft-hearted and didn't want to let down his brother's kindness. Otherwise, he would have deleted it long ago, which would have affected his glorious image of integrity and flawlessness.

This summer, there are three movies invested by Wei Yang and Blue Whale.

One is the Journey to the West themed animation movie that Wei Yang mentioned, which is the famous "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage".

This movie is relatively complex. It was originally produced by an animation company, but later it ran out of funds and gradually attracted investment. It was also at this time that Blue Whale became involved in the project.

At this time, Blue Whale is only an investor, not the main controller. However, as more and more funds are invested, Blue Whale’s voice is getting bigger and bigger.

Due to the current sluggish animation market, uncertain movie prospects, and tight funds, the team was under great pressure and many changes occurred.

In the end, Boss Wei simply slapped his thigh and asked his animation company [Pink Jellyfish] to acquire the production team.

Except for a few people who left, all other team members stayed and were directly merged into Pink Jellyfish Company. The film was also transferred and became a direct Wei project jointly developed by Pink Jellyfish and Blue Whale, with the former producing and the latter publishing.

Wei Yang still has high expectations for this movie, not only because of its brilliance in the past life, but also because it is likely to become an important layout for Wei Yang's animation movies.

The second one is "Operation Mekong". Although this film is controlled by Bona, Blue Whale is also an important producer.

The third one is "Pancake Man" by Dapeng.

Wei Yang had communicated with Dapeng before, and the latter revealed his intention to join Wei Yang. Even "Diaosi Men" was invested by Wei Yang and was broadcast on Sohu and PPTV.

But as "Diaosi Men" became more and more popular, Sohu paid more and more attention to Dapeng and attracted more attention. Dapeng obviously began to waver.

Although Boss Wei is strong, he is full of talents. Dapeng is not a direct descendant. If he becomes a monk halfway, he may not be reused.

Although there had been some friction between the two sides before at Sohu, he was trained by Sohu after all, and the support given by Boss Zhang was not comparable to that of Wei Yang.

After all, Dapeng is just a choice for Wei Yang. It's better to have him, and it doesn't matter without him.

And Sohu almost regarded him as a general in charge, even a bit of a life-saving straw.

Phoenix tail VS chicken head

This is a difficult choice, but Dapeng is a bit biased towards Sohu, especially Blue Whale's repeated interference in the creation of "Pancake Man", which makes Dapeng quite dissatisfied.

So for the movie "Pancake Man", although Wei Yang participated in the investment, the investor was Jade Shrimp who was purely making money, and even the distribution was contracted by Wanda.

It can be said that this movie was Dapeng's favor for investing in "Diaosi Men", and everyone went their separate ways after that.

Wei Yang also approved his choice, but Blue Whale started to have a few more scripts. No matter whether it was filmed or not, the registration was submitted in advance. The name of the movie is as follows——

"Sewing Machine Band", "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop", "Hot", "Keep You Safe", "Big Winner"...
