Chapter 379: Mr. Wei, Who Loves Learning, Plots to Make Happy Twist
Ten thousand meters high, first class cabin of international flight
Wei Yang sat in the first class cabin, flipping through the book in his hand leisurely. The uniformed stewardess brought him a glass of water with a sweet smile and eyes full of autumn water.
"Mr. Wei, your water."
"Thank you."
Wei Yang nodded and took the cup of water. The stewardess looked at the dazzlingly handsome face for several times, but due to the regulations, it was not easy to talk too much, so she could only leave after three steps.
Gao Yuanyuan, who witnessed everything across the aisle, put down the headphones and couldn't help but tease: "You are worthy of being the national husband. This is the fifth one. You send water, fruits, blankets and reminders. One person at a time, and take turns in line."
Wei Yang drank two sips of water and was very calm. He has been in the sky for so many years since his debut, and he has been flying in the sky all year round. This situation is no longer surprising.
In the early years when he was not famous, he relied on his handsome face and stewardesses left small notes. Later, when he became famous, there were more and more notes.
But when he became a superstar and his wealth soared, there were fewer notes, because those without capital would not dare to come and "humiliate themselves".
But not daring to pass notes easily does not mean not daring to come and see the male god. They come and have a look at him by giving him water and gifts.
Not to mention daydreaming about what might happen if they meet him, but if you look at the male god a few more times and interact with him for a few words, you can brag to your girlfriends when you go back.
There are still many flight attendants on a flight. If you don't eat alone and get hated, you can just draw lots and take turns to show your courtesy.
They come every ten minutes or half an hour, polite and caring, attentive and gentle. The flight attendants are not bad looking, and basically there is no annoying. If you really notice something wrong, the service industry will stop immediately.
In fact, Gao Yuanyuan has had these experiences. After all, she is a big star, and there are also flight attendant fans who like her.
But there were only two or three people on each flight, and the scene was definitely not as exaggerated as Wei Yang's. This was not a flight. I thought the leaders of Air China came to inspect.
No, the leaders of Air China are not that awesome!
When the flight attendants meet the leaders, they are at most respectful and professional, but not like when they meet Wei Yang. Every move is scheming, with hooked eyes and sweet voice.
"Hey, do you have a small note?"
Gao Yuanyuan was probably bored on the plane and had to gossip with Wei Yang. Boss Wei spread his hands.
"I have always kept myself clean..."
Before she finished speaking, Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes, but at least she didn't show it too obviously because of Boss Wei's status, and then hummed a few words with unclear meaning.
"Hehe."
If you want to talk about the most promiscuous scumbag in the entertainment industry, Wei Yang is far from it. Although he is a scumbag, he is not bad, and his spending is not outrageous.
How many scumbags did Boss Wei have?
Some scumbags are in large quantities. If they are not grooms every day for a year, there are dozens of them.
Boss Wei is having multiple affairs?
He has several affairs during the filming of a movie, breaks up with them after the filming is finished, and then has sex with several more in the next movie.
Some people are even worse, not only scumbags, but also cheat money and resources, and do all kinds of messy operations that are outrageous.
Compared with these scumbags, Boss Wei is simply a simple and good man.
However, Boss Wei has few women, but his rumored girlfriends are of high quality and famous, so he is not the most promiscuous scumbag in the entertainment industry, but he is definitely one of the most famous.
From this point of view, Boss Wei is at a great disadvantage. He makes fewer mistakes than scumbags, but he is scolded and despised the most.
Wei Yang is very hurt and ignores Gao Yuanyuan. He reads a book by himself. He ignores her, but Gao Yuanyuan, who is bored, gets excited with him.
"Boss Wei, you were reading in the waiting room just now. What book are you reading?"
Wei Yang showed her the cover of the book - "The Invisible New World".
"Is this... a novel?"
Gao Yuanyuan was a little confused. Wei Yang took the book back and explained casually: "A book about management, to kill time."
"Oh, no wonder you can make money, the big guys are really learning."
Gao Yuanyuan looked in admiration. She is one of the few actors who is not from a professional background. She studied secretarial work in college and wanted to be a white-collar worker for a while, but she was very popular in commercials and later entered the film and television industry.
However, although Gao Yuanyuan herself is not a talented woman, she was born in an intellectual family and has a filter for talented people.
Back then, she was fascinated by the famous musician Zhang Yadong and had a bitter love for many years.
Later, I don't know if she was hit, or she was old, and she liked the little wolf dog in Taiwan, and she played a sister-brother relationship with Zhao Youting.
Gao Yuanyuan has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and it is common to see people working hard and seriously, but it is indeed rare to see people holding a book to study.
Not to mention Wei Yang's status and wealth, the efforts during the ascendancy and the efforts after success are completely different. The former may be more hardworking, but the latter is more valuable.
"Looking blindly."
Wei Yang said modestly. He was not deliberately pretending, but "had no choice".
Although Wei Yang was a successful person in his previous life, he was actually just a well-known screenwriter and a senior executive of a medium-sized company. In other words, he was a middle and senior cadre of Blue Whale now, or even slightly worse.
Therefore, Wei Yang's experience in his previous life may be enough for him to start his business, but as his business gets bigger and bigger, it is not enough.
Many aspects of Wei Yang's current achievements are due to tricks. He took advantage of the situation by cheating and seizing the opportunity.
To put it bluntly, he is a lucky pig standing on the vent of the wind.
Therefore, as Wei Yang's status became higher and higher and his net worth increased, even to the point where it was difficult to look up to him in his previous life, Boss Wei realized that his shortcomings had reached the point where there was no need to delay, and naturally he had to recharge and study.
Especially in the past two years, Boss Wei has been busy studying economic management and other knowledge in his free time.
If you don't seek to master everything and become a generation of business wizards, at least you can't be fooled by the people below you as a fool.
Planes, high-speed trains, and car rides are all long distances and relatively quiet, so he can calmly read a book while waiting, and then sleep directly when he is tired.
If I were at home, I could watch it, but I couldn't help but play with my mobile phone and computer, or some vixens would provoke and cause trouble, and my concentration in studies would be deviated.
There is no way, Wei Yang himself is not a top academic, otherwise why would he get admitted to the Theater Literature Department? Wouldn't the Chinese Department of Peking University be good?
Wei Yang was lost in reading, chatting from time to time. Gao Yuanyuan also sensed Wei Yang's perfunctory attitude and took the initiative to find an excuse to end the conversation.
"I'm also studying with the boss. Do you have any books? Give me one too."
Yes, there are some, but they are all in the luggage or assistant side. Wei Yang only has two books in his hand, one is about economic management, the other...
Gao Yuanyuan took the book in his hand and was stunned: "The world's high-end luxury goods illustrated book, what are you looking at this for?"
“Learn how to spend money.”
Boss Wei makes no secret of his appearance as a nouveau riche. With more and more money, he not only has to learn how to control wealth and capital, but also how to spend money.
The conscience of heaven and earth, he is a young man from the city. In his previous life, he barely bought a house and a car in Shanghai. He is not short of money, but it is nonsense to say that he enjoys a luxurious life.
In the past, Wei Yang spent money simply by hoarding houses and investing, but now the cabinet is almost full, and investments are handled by a dedicated team and company.
Sometimes I really don’t know how to spend the remaining money, but I have to learn it carefully, otherwise I won’t be able to spend the money after making it, and I won’t have the motivation to work hard.
Gao Yuanyuan: "..."
I'm a mean talker, so I just need to read a book honestly. I don't need to ask such a question...
…
It only takes more than three hours to fly from Shanghai to Bangkok, Thailand. Taking into account the time difference, it was the local afternoon time when we got off the plane.
Wei Yang was not hungry after eating on the plane, so he divided his troops into two parts. Some went to the hotel to stay, while the others went for a stroll at the airport.
"Detective Chinatown" has a plot at the beginning where Tang Ren picks up the male protagonist Qin Feng at the airport. It needs to be shot at a Thai airport. I just took the opportunity today to see if this airport is suitable.
Following Wei Yang were two young people, one was slightly fat and the other was thin. They were not too old, and their expressions were somewhat nervous and exciting.
Even now, the two of them are still a little confused and don't understand how they turned into the directors of "Detective Chinatown".
"how do you feel?"
Wei Yang, who was wearing a mask and cap, turned around and asked. He was somewhat famous in Southeast Asia. There were many Chinese tourists here, so he hid his identity somewhat to be on the safe side.
"This space is quite good. We can be here then..."
The two people looked at each other and knew that Wei Yang had the idea of taking a test, so they expressed their own thoughts and the other helped to supplement.
Wei Yang nodded after listening and simulated the shooting scene and pictures in his mind, and he was quite satisfied.
Although the two of them are young and inexperienced, and they are a bit green in film and television shooting, they are very smart and are tools that meet his requirements.
"Let's go back to the hotel to rest first. I'll take you to try authentic Thai food and horse-killed chicken in the evening."
"Thank you, Mr. Wei."
Their eyes lit up, not because they were excited about the big meal or massage, okay, a little bit, but more because of Boss Wei's approval.
Although the director's position is not completely stable, it is still a good thing.
These two young people were none other than Yan Fei/Peng Damo, the future director of Happy Twist.
Happy Twist will be the backbone of comedies and even Chinese-language movies in the future, with frequent hits. Ace Shen Teng is indispensable, but Yan Fei/Peng Damo behind him also deserves the most credit.
One of these two people is Shen Teng's junior brother. He has a military background and can be regarded as the backbone of Happy Twist in the early and middle stages.
Another Nortel graduate also started out as a drama director. Later, he saw Happy Twist's drama and was deeply affected. He joined Happy Twist and soon became Yan Fei's partner.
During the rise of Happy Mahua, these two people almost took on most of the directing work.
From the early dramas, to the mid-stage sketches, to the later movies, the two have always been part of the core creative circle. Most of Happy Twist's most acclaimed works were written by them.
In Wei Yang's view, although Shen Teng is strong, he has not reached the point where a one-person achievement system like Master Xing can directly support the entire movie.
He requires strong teamwork.
If he cooperates well, he can produce masterpieces such as "Charlotte's Trouble" and "The Richest Man in West Red City". Otherwise, he will be a sketch-style vulgar comedy, which has been criticized by various sources for being a waste of talent.
There is no doubt that Yan Fei and Peng Damo are Shen Teng's best partners, and the two are also the mainstays of Happy Twist. "Happy Twist projects that are not participated by two people are often unsatisfactory and even useless.
Wei Yang admires these two people very much. Even though the success of Happy Twist does not entirely depend on them, Boss Wei still recognizes their talents.
This time for "Detective Chinatown", Wei Yang asked the two of them to serve as co-directors, mainly responsible for comedy. There is also a senior assistant director from Blue Whale, who is responsible for shooting and photography. There are three directors in total.
As the producer, Wei Yang takes charge of the overall situation and is responsible for the filming of suspense and reasoning.
As a well-known mystery novel author (Zijin Chen Trilogy), a mature criminal investigation drama screenwriter (Criminal Police Storm), and a genius director who has carried forward the comedy + suspense (Famous), Boss Wei still has some experience in filming reasoning and suspense themes.
This combination is actually very similar to the previous "Time Travel Cohabitation", both of which are relatively good new directors, and Wei Yang is the supervisor behind the scenes.
In this way, Boss Wei controls the power of the crew, has powerful tools at his disposal, and even gets a good persona who likes to support new directors.
And these "tools" are even happier. Not only can they learn things from Boss Wei, but they also have a hard-core resume, which makes a lot of money.
Take the two new directors of "Time Travel Cohabitation" as an example. The film was completed only a few months ago.
Su Lun joined a large crew as an executive director, and Tian Yusheng was appreciated by Boss Wei, who gave him a certain amount of investment and made a new movie, which seemed to be about a story about an ex, with Li Jiahang as one of the leading actors.
With so many benefits, you can imagine how eager those new directors are to be summoned by Boss Wei.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is not difficult for Boss Wei to recruit Yan and Peng now.
No matter how good Happy Twist is, it is still far behind Blue Whale, not to mention that they can cooperate with Happy Twist if they join Blue Whale.
Even in their hearts, they thought that if they performed well and got the affirmation of Boss Wei, they could help Happy Twist match with Boss Wei to see if there is any opportunity for cooperation.
The two have joined Happy Twist for many years, especially Yan Fei, who has a lot of feelings for Happy Twist, and he participated in the creation of many dramas.
He hopes to adapt the dramas they created into movies for more audiences to appreciate.
The two people silently cheered each other up, wanting to impress Boss Wei with this, but they didn't know that Boss Wei was waiting for them.
No one knows better than him how broad the future prospects of Happy Twist are. Even if there are various complaints later, it is still an indispensable force.
How could Boss Wei not have any ideas about it? He just lacks a suitable opportunity.
Yan Fei and Peng Damo just want to attract some investment, but in Boss Wei's mind, he has already figured out how to swallow Happy Twist, at least to take a considerable part of the shares, so that the future of Blue Whale comedy film will not be a problem.
As long as the two open their mouths, the helpful Boss Wei will immediately lend a helping hand, giving money and people...
