Now that he has recruited the person, Director Wei will not deliberately cheat him.

In front of Tang Yan, Director Wei called Boss Yang.

"Boss Yang, how is your relationship with Wang Jiawei?"

Boss Yang was a little confused when he suddenly received a call from Director Wei.

"It's okay, we're all in the same circle, we see each other every day, so he has to give me face.

But I generally don't want to invest in his films. Director Wei, you're not trying to get investment for Wang Jiawei's new film, are you? "

Boss Yang suddenly became alert.

In the eyes of actors, Wang Jiawei is an artistic master, a world-class director, and a recipient of numerous honors.

But in the eyes of capital, Wang Jiawei is a pit.

It is not very popular with investors.

Because Wang Jiawei's return on investment is too low.

And the time cost is too high.

Investing in Wang Jiawei is definitely not a good business choice.

Director Wei used the hands-free mode.

Hearing Boss Yang say this, Tang Yan felt even more that her decision was right.

You can question the character of a capitalist, but you cannot question his judgment.

Under normal circumstances, capitalists seek profit and avoid harm.

Director Wei also laughed when he heard Boss Yang being so vigilant.

"It seems that Wang Jiawei has left a deep impression on you, Boss Yang."

Boss Yang lamented, "In the entire entertainment industry, there aren't many directors who can force investors to jump off buildings. Wang Jiawei is one of them."

Wang Jiawei does have a record of forcing investors to jump off buildings.

So later on, he couldn't find anyone to invest in his plays.

He can only earn money and spend it himself. Wang Jiawei also invested a lot of money in the play "Flowering Flowers".

After all, there are not so many people who are taken advantage of.

Capital is profit-seeking.

Director Wei reassured Boss Yang: "Don't worry, when have I ever cheated you?

I'm not asking you, Brother Yang, to invest in Wang Jiawei. I'm asking you to pass on a message to Wang Jiawei."

"A message?" Boss Yang was stunned. "Did he offend you?"

"No, I offended him."

Director Wei explained, "Wang Jiawei is planning a new film recently, and I stole Tang Yan, his second female lead.

Please tell Wang Jiawei that next time I go to Hong Kong, I will host a banquet to apologize to him."

Boss Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought it was some big deal, but it turns out to be just a small matter."

For Director Wei and Boss Yang, this is indeed a small matter.

"No problem, leave this to me."

Boss Yang agreed immediately.

"Thank you, Brother Yang. The main thing is to make Wang Jiawei stop hating Tang Yan.

I don’t want my affairs to affect the reputation of other actors.”

Boss Yang laughed heartily: "Director Wei, you are as compassionate and considerate as ever.

I've never heard of you and Tang Yan having a relationship before. When did you hook up with her?

Director Wei glanced at Tang Yan.

Tang Yan's face turned slightly red, and she quickly took a sip of red wine, pretending that she had drunk the red wine.

Director Wei explained calmly, "Brother Yang, what are you talking about? I just feel that Teacher Tang's acting is more suitable for the new drama our company is about to shoot. It has nothing to do with any gossip."

Boss Yang laughed out loud.

"I understand, I absolutely understand. Director Wei, you simply admire Tang Yan's acting skills.

Pfft, Tang Yan's acting skills... just forget it, Director Wei, stop making me laugh."

Boss Yang was the first to hang up the phone.

Director Wei was a little angry.

"This guy surnamed Yang actually looked down on your acting skills, Sister Tangtang. This is outrageous. Next time, Sister Tangtang, use your acting skills to slap him in the face."

Tang Yan: “…”

To be honest, she also hoped to do it, but she was not sure.

"I'll try my best."

Director Wei frowned and said, "Sister Tangtang, how come you don't have the confidence to agree to this?"

Tang Yan rolled her eyes at Director Wei.

"Are you sure that you are not attracted by my popularity but my acting skills?" She had a rough idea in her mind.

The only thing that can attract these big directors is traffic and popularity.

Acting skills have never been his thing.

Director Wei said seriously, "Sister Tangtang, you're wrong. Your popularity isn't what I'm looking for."

It would be more accurate if the word "qi" was missing.

Tang Yan understood Director Wei's subtext, and her pretty face flushed again. She quickly took another sip of red wine and decisively changed the subject: "Is this how it's resolved?"

"It wasn't a big deal."

Director Wei shrugged and said, "Do you really think these big directors have any principles? Or do you think you have to be the second female lead in Wang Jiawei's new film?"

Tang Yan shook her head: "I'm not that narcissistic yet."

Wang Jiawei is famous for his high requirements for actors' acting skills.

Choosing her to be the second female lead was a commercial compromise.

She absolutely did not believe that Wang Jiawei thought her image was suitable.

Again, she is self-aware.

“Speaking of which, Mimi is also unlucky.

If she had known you when she offended Sister Hong, Director Wei, you would not have said a word to Mimi, and she would not have broken away from the Beijing circle. "

Tang Yan said.

Director Wei nodded: "That's true, but the breakup doesn't have much impact.

The entertainment industry is big enough to accommodate people from all walks of life.

Many people are just intimidating by their reputations, but apart from the official ban, everyone else’s ban is a joke and has little effect, even mine.”

"Director Wei, you're too modest. The platform's ban does have an effect."

Tang Yan has a different opinion.

"The fact that Wang Jiawei's "Flowers" can use me as the second female lead shows the power of the platform. The investor behind "Flowers" is Penguin Pictures, and they are inclined to use me.

Now that I've quit the show, I'm afraid Penguin Pictures won't treat me well."

Compared to offending Wang Jiawei, she is more afraid of offending video platforms like Penguin Video.

However, she did not ask Director Wei for help in this matter.

After all, she has brains.

Director Wei's Station A and Penguin Video are competitors.

"Director Wei, are you recruiting me this time also to poach Penguin Video?" Tang Yan asked curiously.

Director Wei laughed and said, "There's really nothing worth digging into Penguin Video, let alone Wang Jiawei's drama. I just went there for you, Sister Tangtang.

To put it bluntly, even if you spend several years acting in "Fang Hua", even if it finally becomes a hit, what good will it do?

Besides, I’ve never seen a movie directed by Wang Jiawei go viral.”

Director Wei really doesn't take it seriously.

Looking at the plot synopsis of "Fang Hua", Director Wei does not feel the slightest threat: the story revolves around A Bao (played by Hu Ge) in the glorious early 1990s when everyone was striving to get ahead. A Bao also became Mr. Bao. He has experienced success and failure, leaving a legend among the young people in Shanghai.

There have been splendors and there have been steady streams, men and women, ups and downs, all of which speak of the friendship and truth of an era.

It sounds very similar to "The Age of Surprises".

But Director Wei can shoot authentic commercial films.

Wang Jiawei can't film it.

Director Wei believes that the reputation of "Fang Hua" may be better than that of "Surprise Era", but there is no doubt that the results will be affected by the gauze.

If he doesn't have this confidence, he wouldn't be Director Wei.

"'Blossoms' and 'The Age of Surprises' have the same subject matter, but fortunately 'Blossoms' may not be released for another five years, so it can avoid the fate of 'The Age of Surprises'.

I guess by the time you finish filming the second season of "Surprise Era" and "Flower City" is still not going to be on, Sister Tangtang, Ma Yili will be the one to envy you.

"Hopefully."

Tang Yan didn't feel that Director Wei was just empty promises.

Because she also felt that what Director Wei said would most likely become reality.

"Okay, it's 8 o'clock. Let's watch TV. Let me enjoy Director Wei's new play."

Tang Yan has been staring at the time.

She did not forget the important matter of coming to Director Wei's house today.

She came to watch TV.

Although saying this is very self-deceptive.

Even if it is spread out, no one may believe it.

But Tang Yan told herself that she was just here to watch the TV series.

No matter whether others believe it or not, she believed it first.

After taking off her slippers, Tang Yan sat cross-legged on the sofa in Director Wei's house, shaking a glass of red wine in her hand and entering a lazy mode.

"so comfortable."

Director Wei's eyes were attracted by the Hyuna-style manicure on Tang Yan's feet.

"Sister Tangtang, I didn't expect your feet to be so beautiful."

Director Wei exclaimed in admiration.

Tang Yan's face turned red again.

I was so relaxed just now that I forgot about it.

"Director Wei, you're not a foot fetishist, are you?"

Director Wei laughed: "I'm obsessed with all things beautiful, but don't worry, I'm not a beast."

Tang Yan also smiled: "I believe in Director Wei. I won't say more. The Age of Surprises is really about to begin."

Director Wei did not continue to flirt with Tang Yan.

There is ample time.

Don't rush.
