Chapter 413: The Cunning Boss Wei and "Sisters Over Flowers"
"Be careful on the road."
Wei Yang patted the car door and said hello. Xie Nan drove away slowly and drove to her residence in Shanghai.
They already live together. They usually live in Beijing and their wedding house is also in Beijing.
However, Xie Nan's job is a host. Most of her business is mainly in Beijing and Shanghai, the two largest cities in the mainland, so she can't avoid running back and forth.
There is a place to live in Beijing. The two have already purchased a wedding house. She originally had her own small house, but there is no more in Shanghai.
Although staying in a hotel is convenient, there are always some places that are not satisfactory, so Xie Nan rented a house in Shanghai for a long time.
In fact, if possible, she would rather buy a house in Shanghai, where she can live steadily and will definitely not lose money.
It's just that although the two have a high income, their ability to attract money is far less than those popular first-line and top-tier stars. In addition, celebrities earn a lot and have a lot of expenses. If they want to buy a house, they will definitely give priority to Beijing, where they live.
It's enough to have a place to stay in Shanghai. If you do well in the future, you may consider buying a house.
While driving, Xie Nan looked back at Wu Jing, whose face was flushed, and was a little worried.
"Are you okay? Why don't you find a hotel nearby to stay?"
"No need."
Wu Jing shook his head, his mind was still clear, even a little excited.
"They stopped drinking when they saw that I was drinking slowly, and they almost stopped. I just felt a little dizzy when I went downstairs. It's not a big deal."
"Wei Yang has a good alcohol tolerance. I saw you walking a little staggering just now, but he was fine."
Xie Nan and Wu Jing have been together for several years. The couple are good at making friends. When they go out for parties, they often see him drinking with others.
Wu Jing likes to drink and has a wide range of social contacts. There are many "drinkers" among his friends, and it is common for him to be knocked down.
But it is rare for Wei Yang to be so calm today.
Boss Wei's alcohol tolerance is well-known in the circle, but in recent years, he has a high status and doesn't need to compete with him. Most of them just taste it, and others don't dare to force him, so many people only hear his name, but don't know whether it is true or not.
Xie Nan and Liu Shishi have a good relationship, but they are not familiar with Wei Yang. It is the first time to see Boss Wei's huge drinking capacity.
Wu Jing also admires this point: "I dare not say that Wei Yang's drinking capacity is the best I have ever seen, but it is definitely one of them. He showed mercy today, otherwise I would definitely die lying down today."
Today, the couple had something to ask for help. When Wu Jing heard Wei Yang invite him to drink, he was ready to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.
Otherwise, he would not have bought a box in one go. This kind of thing is too common in the business world. If you can achieve your goal, it is worth suffering a little.
Who would have thought that it was just an ordinary meal, and they drank a lot of wine, but not excessively, and they returned home with great pleasure.
And the things they had in mind also received a positive response from Wei Yang.
"... The "Wolf Warrior" you mentioned has a promising theme. I have thought of a similar approach before, but I couldn't find the right person. Old Wu is indeed a popular person."
"How about this, you hand over the script and project book later, and I will take a look with the relevant person in charge. If there is no problem, we can talk about it."
The voice of Boss Wei is still in his ears. Although he didn't say it for sure, it is already very promising for a big boss like him to say this.
The couple has not fully reacted yet.
It's not that Wei Yang said this, but from the nod to let them come to his house, the matter is 70% to 80% settled.
Just kidding, everyone in the entertainment industry wants to cling to Boss Wei's thighs, or ask for funds or support, and there are not a few people who come to Liu Shishi.
If Wei Yang doesn't nod, Liu Shishi can only help pass on a message. At most, she can arrange a meal outside, but how can she bring someone home.
You know, those who can be brought to Liu Shishi's house for dinner, especially with Wei Yang, are real friends and close relationships.
The more such a situation is, the more it is necessary to handle it properly and cleanly, and to distinguish between public and private affairs. In this way, if the deal fails, there will be righteousness, and if the project succeeds or not, everyone will not hurt their friendship.
But you bring people home, and talk about the deal at a gathering with friends, mixing public and private affairs, leaving no room for mediation.
What if the project is not suitable, and people ask you as a friend, will you help or not?
So, since Wei Yang tacitly agreed to Xie and Wu to come to him for help, the matter was basically settled, but according to Wei Yang's personality and rules, there is still a process to go through.
Now the couple may not be deeply touched by this aspect, so they did not react, and they were more excited, nervous and grateful.
Excited because it was not in vain, and the wine was worth it.
Nervous because although Wei Yang gave a word, there are too many unexpected things in this matter, and they are still afraid of accidents later.
Needless to say, gratitude is not to mention that the couple did not come to Wei Yang right away, and they were rejected many times before.
The subject matter of "Wolf Warrior" is not pleasing, and Wu Jing himself wants to be a director, so many companies and investors are not optimistic about it. It can be said that he has been sad all the way and encountered obstacles everywhere.
Because he is about to get married and his child is about to be born, although Wu Jing is determined to make this movie, he has not yet said that he will mortgage his house. He even wanted to give up temporarily and find a way later.
It was Xie Nan who persuaded and supported him, and he continued to attract investment. It was also Xie Nan who begged Liu Shishi and won this opportunity.
In fact, Wu Jing had thought about looking for Boss Wei before, but although he and Boss Wei had some friendship, he was not so close to asking for investment.
So at first, Wu Jing mainly worked hard in the Hong Kong and Beijing circles, which he was more familiar with.
Not to mention Xie Nan, she is the top star of Guangguang, and if she wants to make a connection, she must go to Guangguang first.
It was not until there was no significant progress that Xie Nan contacted Liu Shishi, more with the idea of trying her luck, but she didn't expect it to be so smooth, so she was naturally full of gratitude.
Xie Nan's desire to stand up for her best friend was also weakened.
It's not that she doesn't talk about sisterhood, but she is just too soft-hearted.
Boss Wei gave too much!
Wu Jing would not care even more. When filming "Famous", Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang almost didn't avoid people. He saw it all, but still didn't tell Xie Nan.
In his opinion, this is completely their own family affairs, and they don't need to get involved.
If the couple quarreled and broke up because of Xie Nan's interference, they might hate her to death. If they reconciled, they were a couple, and she, who was "sowing discord", was the best scapegoat.
So Wu Jing didn't want his wife to get involved in this matter from the bottom of his heart. He was still a little scared of what he said just now.
…
Wu Jing and his wife were still chatting all the way, and Wei Yang was in a good mood. He was humming the most popular ditty while cleaning the table.
"I'm reluctant to let you go, I will always love you..."
Liu Shishi, who had just finished washing the dishes in the kitchen, looked at him curiously: "Are you so happy? Is that play good?"
She and Wei Yang have been together for so many years, and they have some understanding of each other. Boss Wei looks like he has made money again.
"It's not very good, but it has a bright future."
Wei Yang just cleaned it up simply to avoid being upset. As for cleaning carefully, of course, there is, and the nanny will come to take care of it tomorrow.
Facing Liu Shishi, he had nothing to hide: "In fact, I have been keeping an eye on this project. Even if the couple doesn't come to our door, our company is preparing to contact them recently."
"So what did you just do...?"
Liu Shishi was puzzled. Just now, Wei Yang seemed to know about this project for the first time. He acted very cautiously, which scared the couple.
But although she is not smart, she has been in the entertainment industry for so many years. She quickly reacted and laughed and scolded.
"Swindler!"
It is also an investment. For Wu Jing and his wife who have been hitting a wall everywhere.
Wei Yang has long been optimistic about their project and actively sought cooperation. Compared with Wei Yang who is relatively optimistic but not sure about the prospects and willing to take a gamble for the sake of friends, they are two completely different concepts, and the degree of gratitude is also completely different.
The former just makes money, while the latter not only makes money but also takes the opportunity to get a big favor from others.
"How can it be treachery? I just used a little trick. Anyway, I helped the couple a lot."
Wei Yang was justified. He didn't think he was calculating his friends, because he didn't harm the couple. Instead, he really helped them. He just used a little trick to expand his own interests.
If it was Li Jiahang or other close people, Wei Yang wouldn't do such a roundabout way.
But Wu Jing and Xie Nan were not very familiar with him, and Boss Wei wanted to win them over, so he played some tricks.
"You are a person who has 800 tricks in your mouth."
Liu Shishi complained about Wei Yang for a while, but she was not very angry. People have closeness and distance, and she must stand on her man's side.
Besides, from her point of view, Wei Yang did help Wu Jing and the others a lot, and it was natural to get a big favor.
I don't know how many people outside want to owe Boss Wei a favor but can't!
"Who told you to be stupid? If I hadn't been more careful, our family would have been bullied to death."
Wei Yang was not ashamed, but proud. He also implicated Liu Shishi, causing the latter to spit at him.
"Bah, you are stupid."
After joking for a while, Wei Yang turned on the TV. Today was the day when "Running Man" was broadcast, and it was a special plan, so he had to watch it.
Liu Shishi felt that she had eaten a little too much just now, so she started doing yoga in the living room. Boss Wei helped to guide her while watching TV, or to take advantage of her.
Pah~
Liu Shishi slapped away the thief's hand hovering around her waist and hips, stabilized her body, glared at someone unhappily, but did not mean to refuse.
They are also an old couple. They have tried all the normal things. Occasionally, some fun will promote feelings and communication.
While playing and watching TV, Liu Shishi didn't pay much attention to "Running Man", but it was her own business after all, so she would occasionally pay attention to it.
"This show will be almost finished."
"It will be almost finished before the Spring Festival, and there may be a related special after the Spring Festival."
"Running Man" has been on air for more than ten episodes since its first broadcast in October. Blue Whale did not take more than a dozen episodes. It stopped when necessary, sorted out and prepared for the second season and new programs.
Even in the internal discussion of the program team, they felt that the program "Running Man" was more suitable for broadcasting in the summer vacation.
Because according to their statistics, a considerable part of the audience of "Running Man" are students, and the summer vacation is precisely the most free period for students. If it is broadcast in the summer vacation, the influence and performance of the program will be further improved.
Therefore, the second season of "Running Man" is likely to come faster than expected, and there is a great probability that it will be broadcast in the summer vacation.
At that time, the biggest rival of "Running Man" will not be "Where Are We Going, Dad", but "The Voice of China", which has dominated the summer vacation for several years.
But there is no need to compete.
With the popularity of "Run" and "Dad is Back" at the end of this year, the arrival of the variety show trend is unstoppable. Various TV stations and related companies have launched variety shows.
Next year, and even in the next few years, there will be a situation of blooming a hundred flowers. Several ace programs can bloom on their own, and there is no need to fight to the death.
"Speaking of this, I remember one thing. This year, our company will further develop variety shows. In addition to "Run", we will probably launch several new variety shows."
Liu Shishi heard the meaning and took her legs from Wei Yang: "Are you looking for me?"
"Yes, we have a variety show now, which is a travel reality show called "Sisters Over Flowers". It is a program modified by South Korea. It just so happens that the Hunan Provincial TV station is also going to launch a similar program, both of which focus on female celebrities traveling, so the program team has set their sights on you."
In terms of popularity and influence, Liu Shishi is definitely the top among female stars now.
Especially now that "Mufu Fengyun" and "Joy of Life 3" are both hot in the ratings, Liu Shishi's career has reached a new level, and her momentum is amazing. Even the big stars have to avoid the limelight.
If they really want to compete with Hunan Satellite TV and invite Liu Shishi, "Sisters Over Flowers" can increase its budget by 30%.
"No, no, I can't record a reality show."
Liu Shishi shook her head like a rattle. She really resisted this kind of variety show. On the one hand, she felt that she was slow to react and was afraid of making a fool of herself. On the other hand, she was not willing to expose her private state to others.
Before, when "Running Man" recorded the "Joy of Life 3" special, she did not participate, and let Tang Yan and Tian Yu lead the team.
Wei Yang was not surprised. Someone had done statistics in his previous life. Among the 85 flowers, Liu Shishi and Liu Tianxian participated in the least variety shows.
And basically they were interviews, indoor games, etc., and they almost never participated in reality shows. Later, even some indoor games were less, and they basically only accepted interviews.
Wei Yang would not force Liu Shishi to go if she wanted to. If she didn't want to go, she could go to someone else.
Speaking of which, Blue Whale lacks everything except female stars. Picking two of them at random would be enough to support the traffic of "Sisters Over Flowers".
However, on the surface, Boss Wei still used coercion and inducement to control Liu Shishi.
On TV, the special plan of this episode of "Running Man" finally appeared.
It turned out that five pairs of celebrity fathers and sons from "Where Are We Going, Dad?" joined the show as NPCs of several games in this episode, and the seven-member group of "Running Man" will also make a surprise appearance in "Where Are We Going, Dad?" to be broadcast tomorrow.
The two ace programs have been fighting for two months, and their influence is getting bigger and bigger. The fight is so lively.
This wave of linkage has a bit of the meaning of forgetting grudges with a smile, and it will also maximize the gimmicks and topics, making the finale of the two programs even better.
On TV, the cute kids laughed and watched the seven-member group and the dads play games.
Outside of TV, Wei Yang and the others finally had a chance to shoot, and the scene in the living room became inappropriate for children...
