Chapter 482 This Family Is Thanks to Me

February 18, New Year's Eve

Wei Yang, who had already prepared, arranged his work during this period in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas.

On New Year's Eve, he happened to attend an event in Kunming City. After the event ended in the afternoon, he drove directly back to Shanghai to celebrate the New Year.

Driving back to Yunhua Mansion, the family had already prepared the New Year's Eve dinner. This year, Wei Yang's family and the eldest aunt's family celebrated the New Year together. With the nanny and bodyguard who did not go back, it was quite lively.

"What delicious food are you making?"

Wei Yang took off his coat and ran to the kitchen first, and then saw the eldest aunt, mother and nanny making dumplings together.

"Wow, what is the filling of this colorful stuff?"

"Spicy cabbage, vermicelli, tofu and ham."

"...Who asked you to make it?"

"Your sister said it was delicious. Anyway, we have it at home, so let's try it."

Wang Yunping only has one son in her life, and it is a pity that she has no daughter, so her cousin, the only girl in the two families, is more favored by her. Even if her nephews and nieces from her mother's family may not be able to compare, some small requests will be met.

Wei Yang couldn't bear to look at it, but after thinking about it carefully, at least there was no weird fruit filling.

Last time, Zhao Liying did an experiment and made dumplings stuffed with cherries, blueberries, and potatoes like in foreign countries. Wei Yang almost called the police. Xiao Zhao herself didn't eat it either, and asked her assistant to feed it to the stray cats nearby. I don't know if they cursed...

Wei Yang wanted to check the New Year's Eve dinner, but was dragged by his cousin to play mahjong. His father and uncle were all seated, just missing one.

Wei Yang hadn't played mahjong for a long time. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he played with them. While stacking the cards, he listened to his cousin who was cheering for a big game, his cousin was talking next to him, his uncle also helped a few words, and his father Wei Shan acquiesced.

"How big is the game?"

When Wei Yang saw this, he knew that these people had colluded and were working together to make a big profit today.

Comrade Wei is fine. Although most of the family money is managed by Wang Yunping, there is still some cash in hand from the fruit shop and the occasional filial piety and scattered tricks of boss Wei, otherwise he would not dare to play with antiques.

The eldest uncle and cousins ​​are miserable. The eldest aunt manages the money at home. She has a strong personality. In addition, the family is far less financial than Wei Yang's family, so the financial management is strict.

The cousins ​​act cute from time to time, and can also get some from the uncle, aunt and cousin. The eldest uncle has to look at the eldest aunt's face when buying cigarettes.

So don't look at the cousins ​​jumping happily in this setup, but the most active one is definitely the eldest uncle.

Only the eldest uncle, who usually likes to play mahjong, knows how to let the three families join forces to win more money from Wei Yang. As for Wei Shan, it is estimated that he is going with the flow, and the commission promised by others is not low.

As a biological son, he must add money!

As for how much Wei Yang lost, Comrade Wei thought it was very open-minded. Even if Wei Yang plucked a hair from his leg, it would be enough for them to live happily.

Wei Yang knew this very well, but he still played with them calmly.

Mahjong is a game of push and pull, three against one, not to mention that there is a cousin who cheats everywhere, Boss Wei lost miserably.

Wei Yang was very straightforward and directly transferred the money via WeChat. Looking at the excited people, he walked to the kitchen leisurely.

"I wanted to work with you, but I was forced to play cards. My luck was not good. My dad and uncle just won tens of thousands of dollars."

As soon as the voice fell, the aunt and mother frowned, and Boss Wei was still making up the knife.

"The two old men are so happy now. They just discussed that they would go to the chess and card room to play while they were lucky. Maybe they could win a lot."

The eldest aunt threw the rolling pin in her hand: "You will start to show off after a few days of good life, right? You play cards and gamble."

Wei Yang was still persuading her: "Aunt, it's okay. It's the New Year. My father said that he was too strict with my uncle. How could the old man not have money? Just think of it as my filial piety to him."

"It's outrageous. Just his sieve hand, no matter how much money he is given, he will waste it. And that Shanzi, he has no conscience at all, and his elbow is outward."

The eldest aunt went out angrily to settle accounts with the eldest uncle and Comrade Wei. Wang Yunping also spoke for the eldest aunt, but she didn't go out to ask for money.

After all, Wei Yang's family is rich, and Wang Yunping is not that strong. She is too lazy to argue with Comrade Wei over tens of thousands of yuan.

But this was not a problem for Wei Yang: "I heard that my dad bought a fake Qing Dynasty enamel a few days ago, and he spent a lot of money in his personal savings. This time, it's just right to get some money back."

"What, he bought it again, this prodigal son, no amount of money is enough for him to waste."

Wang Yunping couldn't sit still this time. She didn't care about tens of thousands of dollars, but that didn't mean she was willing to see the family's money go down the drain, so she took off her apron and went to help her sister-in-law.

Wei Yang washed his hands, hummed a pleasant tune, and sat down to make dumplings.

Trick me?

The winning and losing of mahjong is not just on the card table!

After a while, the elder aunt and mother came back from the victory, not only to take back the money Wei Yang won, but also to collect their respective "chips".

Wei Yang didn't take a penny, and bet tens of thousands more, smilingly saying that the money was given to the elder aunt and mother to buy cosmetics. The coaxed elder aunt scolded her cousins ​​for being heartless, and almost went out to scold her husband and children again.

The New Year's Eve dinner in the evening was very harmonious.

The eldest aunt and mother were very happy. Others turned their anger into appetite and were very supportive of the New Year's Eve dinner. Wei Yang secretly gave himself a thumbs up. This family couldn't live without him.

Not many people paid attention to the Spring Festival Gala last year, but this year, the family took the initiative to watch it, even the cousins ​​were no exception.

Just when Wei Yang was confused, he saw that the family was very enthusiastic about Xiao Yueyue who appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage, and then he understood what was going on.

Emotions became popular because of "Happy Comedian". This group of comedians got out of the circle, and many of them participated in this year's Spring Festival Gala, which brought a lot of popularity to the Spring Festival Gala.

Many people even regard the Spring Festival Gala as the "Happy Comedian" Spring Festival special.

But having said that, despite high expectations, the performance of many comedians in the Spring Festival Gala was obviously unsatisfactory, at least far behind the works of "Happy Comedians".

In fact, not all works of "Happy Comedian" are necessarily excellent.

But after all, it is a competition in nature, and the competitors are too strong, and the competition system is relatively cruel. It is very likely that if a program is not strong, there is a risk of elimination.

This also forces each team not to dare to relax. Each work is not said to go all out, but it is above the standard.

Among them, there are many highlights, which can even become classic masterpieces in the sketch career.

The works produced under such high-standard and high-intensity competition pressure cannot compete with the collection of Spring Festival Gala sketches over the years, but they are by no means comparable to the ordinary Spring Festival Gala.

It can be said that "Happy Comedian" brought a lot of popularity to the Spring Festival Gala, and at the same time made it a mess.

"I've offended someone."

Wei Yang sighed, but there was no hint of fear on his face, and there was even a hint of excitement on his face.

Sometimes the signboard is not made by oneself, but by comparison.

Taking a step back from the Spring Festival Gala, which was the highest stage for sketches in the past, "Happy Comedian" has a lot of gold content.

If it weren't for CCTV's face, Wei Yang would have arranged various media channels to publicize it, but even if he couldn't stir up trouble, he could still add fuel to the flames behind his back.

It can be expected that after the Spring Festival Gala, the data and influence of "Happy Comedian" will increase to a certain extent, adding another wave of traffic to PPTV.

After watching most of the Spring Festival Gala, my bored cousins ​​went to play games. A few old people discussed it and decided to watch "Happy Comedian" again.

Wei Yang was also very busy. Not only did he have to deal with several women, but he also received constant calls and messages from other New Year greetings. Wei Yang's fingers were sore when he answered the text messages.

…

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year

While every household is still enjoying the Spring Festival, the most anticipated Spring Festival in the film industry has also begun.

Wei Yang had a bowl of dumplings in the morning and hurried out to continue his road show. The rest of the family were bored at home, so they simply went to the cinema to support his son/eldest nephew/cousin.

After the influence of the Spring Festival stalls in the past two years, many people are willing to enter the cinema during the Spring Festival.

Even the first day of the Lunar New Year is no exception, especially young people. They would rather go to the cinema to watch a movie than have to deal with all kinds of relatives at home being pressed for marriage and asking for salary.

There are also many families who come to watch movies together, especially young families with children.

There is nothing to do at home on the first day of the new year. The children can't sit still. Parents who have been tired for a year are also itchy, but they can't find any good places to go out to play. The cold wind blows outside and most people spend money indoors. In addition, there are many projects for parents and The kids can’t agree, either.

Watching movies is different. It's cost-effective, and the movies are well-selected. It's relatively easy to reach an agreement, and both parents and children can watch it.

Therefore, watching movies as a family during the Chinese New Year has gradually become a habit.

Even if some parents want to watch a movie that their children can't or are not interested in, they can also divide it into batches. Dad will take the children to watch "Pleasant Goat", mom will watch Handsome Guys, then mom will take the kids to watch "Bear Bears", and dad will go by himself. Look at the beauty.

It only costs a few movie tickets, and most families can afford it during the Chinese New Year.

What's more, there are many movies suitable for the whole family during the Spring Festival. Watching them together as a family can save money and trouble.

There is no doubt that "Detective Chinatown", which has "comedy" as its biggest selling point, has become the first choice for countless family members during this year's Spring Festival.

The few who hesitated were also worried that there might be detective murder and other plots in it, and were afraid of scaring their children, so they planned to wait for word-of-mouth reviews or watch it alone.

Another popular one is "Macau 2".

This is also a comedy-oriented movie suitable for watching during the Chinese New Year. It has a large cast of big names, and the previous film has a good reputation. This one also features Wang Shiling, who became popular after "Where Are We Going, Dad?", and is full of gimmicks.

It can be said that "Detective Chinatown" and "Macau 2" are the ones that the audience is most interested in and the industry is most optimistic about.

Among them, "Macau Storm 2" has the foundation of the previous game and has a luxurious lineup, so it has a slight advantage.

Then came Brother Cheng Long's "Heavenly Generals".

Although the reputation of the previous "New Police Story 2013" was somewhat overturned, it still made more than 500 million. Cheng Long is not lonely at this time and is still one of the most popular actors in Chinese movies.

Especially in this era when 1 billion+ movies are not yet common, Cheng Long's box office performance on paper is relatively outstanding. Who dares to underestimate this superstar who has dominated the film industry for many years.

"Wolf Totem" and "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demon" are not good either.

The former "Wolf Totem" has the advantage of being an original work, and the publicity is also very good, with various gimmicks and hype, and it is produced by China Film, which has certain help in film arrangement.

This movie is said to be a fun choice for the whole family. After all, the original work is quite famous. Some parents will find it educational and take their children to watch it.

There are even rumors that some teachers wrote their thoughts about this movie in their winter vacation homework, forcing students to go to the cinema to watch it.

However, this statement is a bit too exaggerated. No matter how good China Film is, it will not affect those teachers. Either it is pure black with a rhythm, or some teachers spontaneously think that "Wolf Totem" will be good.

At the same time, although the leading actor Feng Shaofeng is two levels less popular than Boss Wei, he is still one of the most popular niche actors.

The performance of movies in the past few years has been pretty good, so it has accumulated a number of fans, which are incomparable to other big names. It is still okay to help wave the flag and shout a few words.

As for the latter, "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demon", frankly speaking, it has no subject matter advantage.

Despite the popularity of the Journey to the West theme last year, the gap in nationality and popularity between Zhong Kui and Monkey King cannot be compared at all.

The audience will be interested in Monkey King, but they may not necessarily support Zhong Kui, let alone in such a schedule that is destined to be fierce.

Moreover, if you are filming Zhong Kui, you are either filming a ghost-killing or marrying a girl, two of the most famous folk stories, and a snow monster appears out of nowhere. It is no wonder that the audience is not interested.

Therefore, the best selling point of this movie is the two leading actors, Chen Kun and Li Bingbing.

After "Painted Skin 2", Chen Kun can be said to be one of the few young actors in the mainland who can compete with male stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

And it has two major advantages. One is good box office performance, and the other is that it can afford large-scale productions. The latter is more critical.

Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Bao Qiang's box office performance is not bad, but they are better at comedy, have poor hardware conditions, and are less competitive as male protagonists in mainstream major productions.

So in this case, the first choice for the male lead in a major mainland production is Chen Kun.

This is not nonsense, Huayi's "Looking for the Dragon" found him, if there are still suspicions of his own family.

This time "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demon" is a drama of light, which shows Chen Kun's status in the industry at this time.

However, in fact, to a certain extent, Wei Yang has a higher priority than him, but the key is that he cannot be invited, even if he spends money to invite him.

If Bona had not had the help of the public security department and ceded part of his share, there is a high chance that Wei Yang would not have participated in "Operation Mekong".

As for the heroine Li Bingbing, although she has not performed well at the domestic box office in the past two years, she can't help but have the aura of Hollywood.

At this stage, domestic audiences and the industry have very heavy filters on Hollywood.

So even though Fan Xiaopang has become infinitely stronger than in his previous life with Wei Yang's blessing, he still hasn't thrown Li Bingbing away. They won't let you compare with domestic results at all, and they will continue to use the name of "Double Soldiers" under the aura of Hollywood. head.

Because of this, Fan Xiaopang often complained and slandered Li Bingbing at home. If Wei Yang hadn't persuaded him and opened a company, he might have gone to Hollywood.

But no matter what, at this time, Li Bingbing is one of the few Chinese artists who can still develop in Hollywood. With a strong aura, coupled with Chen Kun, who is currently popular, "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demons" may become a dark horse in the eyes of many people even if it has inherent shortcomings. hope.

CCTV6's "China Film Report" made a special anticipatory observation issue before the Spring Festival, and invited several well-known experts and film critics in the industry.

Regarding this year's Spring Festival, several people believe that it is destined to be a fierce and evenly matched battle.

But when the Spring Festival really started, they found that their predictions were revealed. There was a fight between the dragon and the tiger, but there was a big pervert who killed the dragon and the tiger...

Sorry, I posted the chapter but didn’t check it. I woke up at 11am and found out that there will be updates in the evening.
