Who Are You Calling Powerful?

Chapter 599: Boss Wei's Temper Has Improved

With the rapid development of the Internet, due to the influence of social platforms, short videos, online articles, etc.

Many people do not have a clear concept of wealth beyond their understanding.

A few hundred millionaires are actually very powerful in the local area. Most of them may involve the livelihoods of hundreds of families. In some places with general economic development, they can even challenge the richest man.

And such people are often not as good as the so-called "middle class" on the Internet, and even less than their "breakfast money".

So there is a famous meme on the Internet-if in reality, you are very awesome, I can't wait to kneel down and recognize you as my father, but now it's on the Internet, I can only say that you still have to work hard.

What's wrong with the two Ma, use Bill Gates and Buffett to pressure!

No matter how awesome Bill Gates and Buffett are, I can still bring up the family of a certain family!

All kinds of conspiracy theories of the family of a certain family have to kneel down at the national level!

But you are the United Nations version of the five permanent members, and I can still talk about the Trisolarans!

Anyway, the argument is over, I just don't accept it...

But if you tear off the disguise and exaggeration of the Internet and really study it, you can understand what the unit of "billion" represents.

In 2019, there was a report that Hurun counted the number of people in mainland China with a net worth of over 100 million yuan, which was about 100,000 to 130,000.

It sounds like a lot, but don't forget that China has a population of 1.4 billion, accounting for less than one in ten thousand.

And most of this one in ten thousand just barely passed the line, or had various problems. The number of billionaires who can actually use over 100 million yuan in funds or assets will be even rarer.

Liu's father is not unsophisticated. He has been doing business for many years and has dealt with some wealthy people.

It is precisely because of this that he understands what the 5 billion represents.

He has been doing business for half his life, and all his miscellaneous assets have not yet added up to over 100 million yuan.

Liu Shishi is his greatest pride. His ability to make money is much better than his father. The salary for a play is tens of millions, and the commercial endorsements are also tens of millions.

It sounds great, but in fact, there are very few crews and brands that can afford the money, otherwise the top stars would not have to tear each other apart.

Even if Liu Shishi is the top star among the top stars, there is no need to fight for her, as there are brands and crews looking for her.

But how many dramas can she take in a year, how many endorsements can she shoot, not to mention whether she has enough time and energy, things are rare and valuable, and sometimes she can't call for a high price if she takes too many.

More importantly, how many stars can be popular for a long time.

Even if they are popular for a long time, there are ups and downs, with a peak of 200 to 300 million a year, and a low point of tens of millions or even less.

Liu's father didn't want to make it too complicated, and roughly calculated that according to his daughter's Forbes celebrity list last year, the artist income was about 100 million, and Wei Yang's 5 billion was enough for her to work for 50 years.

Let's not talk about whether Liu Shishi can still earn 100 million a year in her 60s and 70s. She will be 30 years old this year, and it's hard to say whether she can live another 50 years.

It is said that artists rely on their youth. Not only do their looks decline as they age, but they also work hard in the early days, stay up late to film, change locations, socialize, etc., which is a big loss to the body. It is not that there are no long-lived people, but there are many who die early.

Father Liu knew that his thoughts were a bit biased, and many of his calculations might not be correct, but he made one thing clear -

This 5 billion is enough for her daughter and grandson, and even the old couple, to live a life of carefree and pampered.

Mother Liu said before that Wei Yang was sincere enough, and Father Liu thought that the old women were short-sighted just now, and now he still thinks so.

The old women don't understand anything!

What is 5 billion? Wei Yang's sincerity is not sincerity, it is a glaring sincerity.

When Father Liu and Mother Liu came back, their attitude towards Wei Yang was much better, and they did not mention marriage again, and they focused more on Liu Shishi and the child in her belly.

Wei Yang took the opportunity to attack the snake. Seeing that the atmosphere was better, he called his parents directly during dinner. Liu's mother immediately responded with a smile, and Liu's father hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Liu's father was teased by Liu's mother, but he still insisted that he was not selling his daughter.

He did not take a penny of the 5 billion yuan. It was all for his daughter and grandson. Even if it was for retirement, his own assets were enough. Even if there was an emergency, his daughter and grandson would help him in the future. After all, he was the biological father and grandfather, so it was reasonable.

From the beginning to the end, he valued the interests of his daughter, and Wei Yang had made comprehensive arrangements, which were much better than he imagined.

Liu's father was not sick, so he had to make a fuss about a marriage certificate that was important or not important.

Once this idea changed, although Liu's father still had opinions about Wei Yang, his impression had improved a lot, and as the days passed, his mind was basically on his grandson who had not yet been born.

Liu Shishi is almost 30 years old, and Liu's father and mother are not young either, and many of their peers have grandchildren.

So they have been thinking about this grandson since a few years ago, and when they let go of their prejudices, the old man has high expectations for his grandson.

His son-in-law is handsome and smart, and his daughter is not stupid, and her face is okay. The combination of the two.

His grandson is both good-looking and smart!

When he shows off his grandson in front of his old friends, they will be envious.

Liu's mother wants to show off more than him. If Liu Shishi hadn't told her so many times, she might have already posted it on WeChat Moments.

Although the arrival of Liu's father and mother brought some trouble and inconvenience to Wei Yang, it also liberated Wei Yang to return to the crew.

From then on, Wei Yang's life became more regular, basically going from one place to another.

Go to the crew to film, go home to accompany his wife after filming, and occasionally attack his father-in-law, take the old man out for a drink and chat, and improve the relationship between the two.

And Wei Yang's behavior and changes could not be hidden from the main creators of the "Dying to Survive" crew who worked with him.

After finishing work once, Wei Yang just took off his makeup and drove away in a hurry. The remaining few people couldn't help gossiping.

"I found that Mr. Wei's temper is much better than when he first started filming, and he is smiling every day."

Wei Yang's temper is actually good, but there are often many things to do in the crew, especially for those who are responsible for the overall management, it is difficult not to get angry completely. Even if Mr. Wei doesn't get angry and scold people, his gloomy face is enough for other people in the crew to be careful.

But these few days when Wei Yang came back from leave, he was always smiling and greeted everyone happily.

No matter what happens, his temper is much better. When the producer and director are angry, he will help to persuade them. At most, he seems a little anxious when the work is delayed.

Zhang Yu has never worked with Wei Yang before, and because of his low status, he didn't know much about some reliable rumors in the circle. He thought about it after hearing it.

"It may be that the crew just started filming and didn't run in well before, so President Wei was inevitably a little anxious. Now that the filming is going smoothly, he is naturally happy."

The veteran actor Yang Xinming who plays the pastor doesn't have so many ideas: "You are just imagining, I think President Wei is a little fatter now, looks rich and friendly, so I think he is easy to get along with."

"No, no."

Zhang Ze shook his head. He was filming privately, and he was still quite lively when facing familiar acquaintances.

"I think, most likely... he's in a new relationship. One time when we were having lunch, I saw Mr. Wei playing with his phone, and he started laughing. He must be in love."

"Do you think Mr. Wei is you?"

Zhang Songwen had been holding back, mainly because he was different from the others. Wei Yang was his boss, so he couldn't make irresponsible comments. But seeing everyone chatting lively and even making some blind guesses, he couldn't help himself.

Among the main creators of "Dying to Survive", Zhang Songwen had the most dealings with Mr. Wei.

Not only did they cooperate in filming, but they also had some private gatherings and exchanges, so he knew Mr. Wei better.

"Don't you think about it, Mr. Wei is... well, he's seen the world, a national male god, have you ever seen a national male god who is obsessed with a girl?"

Others don't know, but Zhang Songwen has seen how awesome Mr. Wei is in private. Those famous top-tier actresses act like little wives in front of him, and there are countless famous stars who want to pounce on him, but Mr. Wei ignores them and even refuses them sternly.

For a big boss like this, it is really insulting to apply the same silly smiles that innocent boys and girls have when they chat on the phone for a long time.

"What's going on? Did he make money?"

"With that person's wealth, how much money would he have to make to be so happy."

Zhang Ze shook his head and looked at Tan Zhuo, who had been silent all the time: "You women look at things more delicately. What do you think is going on?"

Tan Zhuo hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it's a family matter."

Compared with these big men, either inexperienced or confused by the authorities, Tan Zhuo actually saw something before.

Because when she was pregnant before, she saw a similar smile on her man's face.

Although her man was a little worse than Boss Wei in all aspects, he was also in his thirties and was doing okay, but at that time, he smiled like a fool, and he was also in a good mood every day. For a while, he was in a very good temper.

Based on this inference, Tan Zhuo vaguely guessed what happened to Boss Wei.

After all, for Boss Wei, women, money, and career were not enough to make him happy for such a long time, but the happiness brought by offspring was another matter.

But Tan Zhuo was not sure about this guess, and since it was a serious matter, she dared not speak carelessly.

After all, it was normal for normal people to gossip about their boss in private, and it was harmless for Boss Wei to know about it.

But gossip also has different things to do. Picking up girls, making money, and getting fat are not a big deal for Boss Wei, but it is hard to say about having children. If there is any trouble, it will be found out that she is the source, but she will suffer.

And Tan Zhuo did not believe that other people could not see it at all.

At least Zhang Songwen and Wang Jinsong, who have worked with Wei Yang for a long time and are shrewd and experienced, how could they not notice the trick? There are also a large group of behind-the-scenes personnel in the crew, many of whom are old members who have followed Boss Wei to fight all over the country.

Tan Zhuo heard that Boss Wei used to live in hotels when filming, and at most he would go out for a few days occasionally.

Like now, it is almost like going to get off work, but this is the first time since Wei Yang debuted, so abnormal, how can these old people not have some guesses?

But Tan Zhuo never heard any rumors in the crew. Since no one was the first to speak out, Tan Zhuo had to endure it.

Not only did the crew not say anything, but even her husband's best friend who she usually called did not say anything. She suppressed her gossiping heart. She finally waited for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she couldn't ruin it with a moment of frivolity.

Wei Yang actually knew about the private discussions and gossips of the "Dying to Survive" crew.

He may not feel that his temper has improved, but he is not living in the crew every day, which is completely different from his previous behavior, so naturally there is no lack of gossipers' murmurs.

But Boss Wei didn't take it to heart. He couldn't just ignore the pregnant woman and the child because of this.

You can guess whatever you want. Anyway, there are a lot of gossips about his crew!

However, as the filming of "Dying to Survive" progressed, Wei Yang found that he also discovered his mood changes, and it affected the filming.

The most intuitive point is that his mood is completely incompatible with the characters in the play!

His wife is pregnant, and he is a father + his father-in-law and mother-in-law are taken care of. Boss Wei's mood is particularly beautiful.

The overall style of "Dying to Survive" is more compassionate, and Cheng Yong himself also has a kind of sadness, atonement, salvation, anger and other emotions in the later period.

The filming a few days ago was okay, because it was the early and middle stages of the movie, and it was also the time when Cheng Yong was making money wildly and proudly, which was similar to Wei Yang's mood to some extent.

But now the plot has been filmed in the middle and late stages, Cheng Yong has begun the stage of [transforming from a human to a saint], and Wei Yang's realistic mood makes him a little confused about the character.

Playing a role well is inseparable from the sense of substitution!

At least Wei Yang personally prefers to experience the role, digging into and analyzing the role from all angles, then putting himself in the role, empathizing with it, and finally interpreting the role.

Many mature actors who have performed well have failed because they lack a sense of immersion in a certain play and role, cannot empathize with the role, and their performance is superficial, so their performance is mediocre.

The most representative one is actually Da Mi Mi, which is called a programmed expression of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. This method is the same for everything, with a form but no spirit, and can never grasp the true meaning of the character.

However, Da Mi Mi in this time and space may have been stimulated by the enhanced version of Zhao Liying, Liu Shishi and others, and did not dare to be so bad.

For example, Fan Shengmei in "Ode to Joy", I don't know if it's because she competed with Tang Yan on the same stage, but she did put a lot of effort in research, which is the most satisfactory answer in the past few years.

Now Wei Yang can't put himself in Cheng Yong for a while, and he can act by force, but the performance is far worse, and he may ruin this role.

So Wei Yang discussed with the director and decided not to rush to shoot. Instead, he went to the hospital in disguise to observe terminally ill patients and feel the bitterness of life.

Before the crew started filming, Wei Yang also did this to further understand the role. The effect was good, and the emotions and characters were all well found.

But because Liu Shishi was pregnant, the emotions were interrupted all of a sudden, and now he had to find a new one.

But compared to the last time, perhaps there was an extra identity. Wei Yang couldn't help but go to see the seriously ill children.

After only two hours, Wei Yang returned to the crew. As soon as director Wen Muye saw him, he hurriedly shouted to start filming, fearing that Wei Yang's state was gone again.

This was not the case. As long as Wei Yang recalled the scenes he saw in those two hours, he would always unconsciously put himself in his place, and his whole body would be as depressed as possible.

So much so that Wei Yang didn't dare to get close to Liu Shishi during those days, so as not to affect her mood.

After shooting those important scenes, Wei Yang quietly took Liu Shishi to the temple in Jinling to worship.

The Sunflower Charity Foundation under his name also received more funds and established a project to support seriously ill children. The first city to receive funding was Jinling.

Boss Wei didn’t have any other ideas. He couldn’t bear to see others suffer so much and wanted to help them, and at the same time, he wanted to accumulate some blessings for the children…
