Chapter 592: "I'm Not the God of Medicine" And New News
After September, Wei Yang entered a "seclusion" state and no longer appeared in public.
But Wei Yang was not idle. In private, he was busy gaining weight, preparing for a new movie + casting, and also taking charge of the script creation of next year's "Chi Le Chuan" and the later "White Night Chase 2".
The script is easy to say. Wei Yang did not actually participate in "White Night Chase 2". He was mainly responsible for supervision and review.
The specific creation was handed over to the editors below, and most of these screenwriters were also the screenwriters of the first part of "White Night Chase".
When working on the first script, Wei Yang clearly considered shooting a sequel, so a lot of buttons and extended plots for the sequel were made at that time. Now the main thing is to sort it out, remove the dross and retain the essence, and then combine it with the main line of the second part.
Wei Yang still trusts the screenwriter team.
Because although he led the script of "White Night Chase", the main writer was actually the screenwriter of the original time and space, and he invited him in advance.
Even because there were rumors in the past life that the screenwriter and his girlfriend completed it together, and later the second script was difficult to produce because of a breakup, so he even brought his girlfriend to the screenwriter team.
In this way, even if there is a breakup in the future, the screenwriter fee is paid in full and the project will not be delayed.
The two original + Blue Whale excellent screenwriter teams have created the glory of "White Night Chase" as the first high-reputation web drama.
The same lineup, and more resources invested by all parties, even if the inspiration is not there, and the surprise of the first part is missing, it can still maintain the external level.
"Chi Le Chuan" is even simpler. Boss Wei has almost done the basics, and the rest is to modify and polish the details.
Later, Wei Yang plans to invite several writers, screenwriters and even online writers who create historical literature to help review the manuscript.
"Chi Le Chuan" is essentially a commercial TV series, and it is more biographical, following history, but it is impossible to follow history completely.
So Wei Yang will find expert consultants to help the crew with some historical details during the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty, but in terms of scripts, he pays more attention to the writers of historical novels.
What he wants is not the detailed and true historical details of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but the magnificent and legendary life of the Emperor Shenwu of Northern Qi.
When it comes to the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, these experts and scholars are the most authoritative, but when it comes to how to create stories, tell the history with ups and downs, and shape the characters with flesh and blood, it depends on these writers and screenwriters.
Wei Yang has used this trick before, but most of the works are not so big, at most he asks a few friends to take a look.
The last time he was so cautious, it was because he directed "Famous" for the first time, he had never been a director, and he had never made a movie, so he was not sure.
And this time "Chi Le Chuan" is because it is the original script of Boss Wei.
Wei Yang was a screenwriter in his previous life, and his original scripts were also filmed into works, but it was far from the achievements of his current life. This time he abandoned the cheats and used them, so how could Boss Wei, who was used to cheats, not feel guilty.
But at the same time, Wei Yang also had his own confidence. He did not live in vain for so many years, not to mention that he had taken countless insurances.
If this fails, Boss Wei should consider retreating behind the scenes as soon as possible, so as to avoid being foolish and incompetent without the "eye of God", and being laughed at by others.
The script is easy to say, and gaining weight is even easier, just eat every day, and it mainly depends on time.
Wei Yang has a good foundation, but he can't stand eating too much, and it's all calorie bombs. As his weight continues to rise, the fat effect he wants has also appeared.
However, this will inevitably lead to a decline in his appearance. Boss Wei's seclusion is also because he cares about his image.
Wei Yang doesn't care about losing a few fans, but he doesn't want to be ridiculed and humiliated by black fans with his "ugly photos". He usually says that it doesn't depend on the face, and the connotation of a man is not important, but those who are familiar with others know that he is a bit narcissistic.
So Wei Yang no longer shows up, concentrates on behind-the-scenes work, and personally takes charge of the preparation and casting of the new movie "I Am Not the God of Medicine".
That's right, Wei Yang gained weight and personally took charge of the crew, which is this [Chinese masterpiece] that has both good reputation and box office success.
To be honest, Wei Yang hesitated about whether to act in "Dying to Survive".
Compared with creative ability, business ability, emotional intelligence and appearance, acting is Boss Wei's weak point.
Even though this weakness has been improving, and even after "Wushuang" and "Day and Night Chase", it has won wide acclaim.
But facing "Dying to Survive", a movie that can impact the classics of film history, Wei Yang is still a little nervous.
It's not that he is afraid of acting badly. Boss Wei is not a young and handsome guy, so he still has this confidence, but he is afraid that his performance will not be as good as the original, and a good movie will be wasted in vain, which is a sin.
But this script is too good. As a professional actor, Wei Yang is reluctant to give the opportunity to others.
So, Wei Yang decided to be selfish for once, and at the same time gain weight and concentrate on preparing for the movie in order to show a better performance. He dare not say that he can surpass the original, but he can't drag his feet.
As for the so-called open casting, Boss Wei actually has a mental candidate, it's just a formality.
It can have a name, so that the actors he likes will appear in front of Wei Yang in a more reasonable way.
Tan Zhuo, Zhang Yu, Wang Yanhui!
Among them, Wang Yanhui is not an unknown person. He is considered to be the supporting actor of director Cao Baoping. He has also worked with Ning Hao, especially in last year's "The Sun Burns the Heart", a scene that attracted a lot of attention.
However, his real success in his previous life was after starring in "Dying to Survive", and Wei Yang did not change this time.
Tan Zhuo is similar. She is not very famous among the public, but she is also a top figure in the circle. She has acted in many art films and has been recognized by people in the industry.
Similar to her are Yu Nan, Qi Xi, Wan Qian and others. They have acting skills, representative works, and seem to have roles to play. They are called art film goddesses and have a high status. In fact, they are unpopular actors with no money and no fame.
So most of these people are waiting for an opportunity to become famous.
If they wait, they will become famous and famous, and even become first-line actresses, gaining both fame and fortune.
If they don’t wait, they will continue to be tepid, or simply stay silent or change careers.
In her previous life, Tan Zhuo was lucky to wait for "Dying to Survive". Although she was not particularly popular due to resources and conditions, she was still a height that many actors could not reach, and she had the opportunity to go further.
Tan Zhuo in this time and space was once in danger of being replaced because Boss Wei considered replacing her.
Liu Shishi and others definitely could not play this role, but Coral Entertainment recommended Qin Lan.
This person may not be as capable as Tan, but he has some skills. He can handle the role of "Dying to Survive". The key is that he is a good person.
In addition, Yu Nan, who worked with Wei Yang in "Wushuang", also came to audition.
In terms of ability, he is not inferior to Tan Zhuo, and in terms of fame, he is more than one level higher. He is considered a well-known movie star.
But after watching Qin Lan's story, Wei Yang felt that her performance was relatively superficial compared to Yu and Tan. It was enough, but not good enough.
If it was a TV series or a pure commercial film, Wei Yang might have preferred a private one, but he attached great importance to "Dying to Survive" this time, so he chose the best.
Qin Lan was passed!
Yu Nan and Tan Zhuo's performances were different. It may be that Wei Yang had an impression of his previous life and preconceived that the latter was better. Tan Zhuo got the role with great difficulty.
Among the few people, Zhang Yu was the luckiest.
Tan Zhuo and Wang Yanhui still have a certain influence in the circle, have representative works, and have worked with famous directors.
Although Zhang Yu has also filmed some works, he has almost no reputation and is a complete unknown.
This guy even received an invitation but did not come to the audition at all because he felt that he had no hope and the travel expenses to Shanghai were not high, so he simply did not come.
Boss Wei was so angry when he knew about this.
At that time, he planned to pick a suitable one from the interviewers and forget about it, considering that this guy was not destined to become famous.
But fortunately, Wei Yang did not like any of the auditioners. How to say it, he always felt that he lacked that wildness.
The producer observed the expression and realized Wei Yang's thoughts. He called Zhang Yu privately and asked him to come to Shanghai as soon as possible. Only then did he call the skeptical Zhang Yu and get the nod of Wei Yang and the director with his performance in the audition.
From a small role that was almost an amateur actor to an important supporting role in Wei Yang's new movie, there were several twists and turns in the middle.
Even Zhang Yu himself said that he was unknown for the first thirty years, and his luck was all saved up for this time…
Compared to Zhang Yu, there is Wang Chuanjun, who has bad luck.
Wei Yang does have some opinions about him, and he is not shy about it, but he has never targeted him.
Many of the main creators of "Love Apartment" have filmed in the crew of the Blue Whale series, including Wang Chuanjun, who has also played the second male lead in a love drama.
If Wei Yang wanted to suppress him, how could Wang get these dramas? It would be normal for him to be squeezed out of the Shanghai circle like Zheng Kai.
This time, for "Dying to Survive", Wei Yang took into account his outstanding performance in the original version, as well as the fact that he is also an alumnus of Shanghai Theatre Academy, and his good relationship with Li Jiahang, so he really didn't plan to change him.
But Wang Chuanjun happened to go to New York to film, and his schedule was very tight, so he couldn't get away there, and it was impossible for this side to wait for him, so he could only miss it with regret.
Wei Yang searched around and finally found Zhang Ze, who was also an actor who started working before joining the crew.
Boss Wei is gaining weight, he wants to lose weight, to the state of being sick and weak all year round.
And after discussion, the two sides decided to put the death scene of Lv Shouyi in the movie to the end, let Zhang Ze finish the previous scenes, and suddenly lose weight to reflect the weakness of the dying person.
Other roles, except for the police chief and the male protagonist's brother-in-law, Wei Yang became Wang Jinsong and Zhang Songwen, with almost no changes.
These two people are the golden supporting roles of the Blue Whale series, and they are also the top figures in the circle.
Especially Zhang Songwen, his fame and career are much better than that of the original time and space at this stage. He has participated in a large number of Blue Whale series of film and television dramas, at least he is not short of money to buy a house.
The only regret is that he basically plays supporting roles and never has the opportunity to take the lead.
However, most of the non-popular middle-aged actors are in this state, with a difference between supporting roles and protagonists, and some people have waited for a lifetime.
Even in "Kuangbi", which Zhang Songwen later became famous, he was strictly speaking a supporting role, but some people regarded it as a double male lead.
What everyone doesn’t know is that before Wei Yang decided to star in “Dying to Survive”, Zhang was one of the candidates for the male lead, but he was ranked relatively low.
It’s not that his acting skills are not good, but he has no box office appeal. If he plays the role, the reputation may still be good, but it will definitely not reach the original 3 billion+ results.
However, Zhang Songwen does not have to worry, as online dramas have begun to rise.
Compared to TV dramas where the leading actors are judged by their looks and popularity, online dramas are the best stage for these talented actors. Zhang Songwen, who has already proved himself in “Soul Ferry”, will have his own place in this wave of Internet boom.
…
Wei Yang was busy with his own business, but he had a lot of fun, which made Boss Wei, who was taking a break from his busy schedule, happy to eat melons.
Throughout September, the biggest gossip was the family tree incident of the little black fat man, and then he was counterattacked by his apprentice with invoices.
Although he had eaten melons once in his previous life, Boss Wei still enjoyed watching it, and combined with the situation of the two many years later, it was even more interesting.
At present, word of mouth is extremely favorable to the little black fat man.
Variety shows such as "Happy Comedian" and "Swordsman" have brought a lot of benefits to the little black fat man, who looks like a master. Deyun Club has also produced apprentices with public popularity, especially Xiao Yueyue, who is very popular.
It is the time when the 20th anniversary of Deyun Club is approaching, and it is even more powerful, which can be said to be the moment when the road to the peak begins.
At this time, Cao was basically pressed to the ground and rubbed, with almost no room for resistance.
Who would have thought that a few years later, there would be another wave of boomerangs, and the reputation of the two people would be reversed. The apprentice had a good time after all the hardships, and the little black fat man became the one who was scolded.
So no one can predict the fortune!
When you are at your lowest point, hide quietly and gather your strength. There may be a chance to turn things around in the future.
When you are in power, don't be too arrogant. The moon has its ups and downs, and people can't be proud all their lives.
So Wei Yang still reminds himself every day to be humble and cautious and keep a low profile.
When you are at your wits' end, don't say too much when you go out to chat, so as not to be slapped in the face.
The former is hard to say. After all, Wei Yang's identity and status, as well as the size of the company under his name, can't be low-key. Sometimes, even if you do things normally, you can't avoid being criticized for being domineering and arrogant.
But Wei Yang is still somewhat confident in the latter, and he is quite strict with his mouth.
Although he pretends to be cool occasionally, it is all within his ability. He almost never whitewashes himself too much. He also admits his shortcomings and faults frankly and even lies down to be ridiculed.
There may be a few boomerangs, but it is not so bad that it has been turned into a series of quotations.
In addition to the battle between the master and the apprentice, another news that shocked the entertainment industry is the death of the male star Qiao Renliang.
There are many different opinions about the reasons behind this, and there are also various conspiracy theories emerging one after another, but as far as Boss Wei knows, it is not that weird at all.
It is mainly a personal reason, which is not without precedent in the entertainment industry.
As a public figure, not only do you bear the pressure of your career, but your private life is also magnified in various ways. Every move may cause various storms and other miscellaneous disturbances. People with weak psychological quality are really not suitable for this line of work.
Speaking of which, Wei Yang had dealt with him before, and at that time he once considered persuading him.
But at that time, I felt that the other party was still quite cheerful and didn't feel anything wrong. Later, Boss Wei was also busy, so he slowly forgot about it. When he heard it again, it was bad news.
Although Wei Yang has always believed that everyone has their own fate, there are too many unfortunate people in the world, and he can't save them all, so he puts down the complex of helping others and respects personal destiny.
But thinking of the young man who showed admiration and worship to him at the beginning, Boss Wei still smoked three cigars that night and didn't go to bed until the early morning.
But later, a few new melons made Boss Wei feel a little relieved.
Chen Sicheng, who had performed well in Baoqiang's divorce, was photographed leaving the hotel with a female star just a few days after being praised by netizens.
This is not the first time that Chen has been exposed. There were rumors in 2014 and they have not stopped for two years. The most powerful one was when Tong Yaya, who was two months pregnant, posted a message to support her husband.
This time, just over half a year after their child was born, he was hit again, and there were also videos and photos of them eating together and entering the hotel.
However, Chen Sicheng's melon has not passed, and sports superstar Super Dan was also exposed for cheating, and the whole network was in an uproar.
Then in early October, Xu Zheng was also photographed taking the elevator to a room with a woman, and never came out again.
"Extreme Challenge", which has already started, also exposed the black material of member Wang Xun, who kicked his wife of 16 years and married a young and delicate wife.
Boss Wei always feels happy when he sees this kind of news!
Everyone is not a good thing, why should I be scolded alone, so he likes to see this kind of news about good men turning over.
Wen Zhang, Chen Chichi, Chen Sicheng, Lin Dan, Xu Zheng, Wang Quanan, Wang Xun, Tao Zhe………
These people have come one after another in the past two years, and have raised Boss Wei’s reputation to a higher level.
Even so, there are still a lot of people waiting behind him. Wei Yang is afraid that one day he will be forced to be the best man in the entertainment industry by these colleagues.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, given the nature of the entertainment industry, Xia Donghai’s reputation has collapsed, so who can say for sure?
