"I rejected Director Wang for you."

Director Wei grabbed the pillow Tang Yan threw over with one hand and said calmly, "Sister Tangtang, please be patient.

If you're willing, I'll definitely take responsibility for you, but I'm worried your boyfriend might not be happy about it."

"spit."

Tang Yan's pretty face turned red.

"Director Wei, please speak properly."

She does have a boyfriend now.

And I plan to get married this year.

But the more this happened, the more worried she became about Director Wei.

The main reason is that I don’t trust myself.

It’s easy to multi-track both the body and the mind.

Men and women are the same in this respect.

"I've been exchanging sincerity with you, Sister Tangtang, and everything I say is the truth from my heart."

Director Wei swore to heaven that he was serious.

"Anyway, I won't be directing the second installment of 'The Age of Surprises'. At most, I'll be a nominal producer or screenwriter.

If you succeed, it's all your credit. If you fail, it's all your fault. It has nothing to do with me."

Tang Yan: "...Director Wei, could you please stop being such a scumbag and be so open about it?"

Is it really okay for you to be so irresponsible? Director Wei said it was really okay.

"Sister Tangtang, this is how I take responsibility for you. Unlike a scumbag like Wang Jiawei, who paints you empty promises all day long, all those unrealistic fantasies, you see how down-to-earth I am. I've laid out the risks clearly for you upfront."

Tang Yan: "...Director Wei, you're not only down-to-earth, you even kind of grounded me. I was really worried it would flop."

Director Wei said sincerely, "When acting in Wang Jiawei's scenes, you should fail as much as you can.

Besides, Tangtang, haven't you made enough saves over the years? Aren't you mentally prepared yet? "

Tang Yan was so angry.

"Director Wei, if you weren't Director Wei, you would definitely get beaten up."

Why is this statement so rude?

Director Wei laughed: "But I am Director Wei. Besides, I used to be very emotionally intelligent in my speech."

"Now what? Where's the emotional intelligence?"

Director Wei shrugged: "Nowadays, people have to have emotional intelligence when talking to me."

Tang Yan: “…”

She doesn't understand the joy of a great director.

But I felt the pressure from Director Wei.

Director Wei said calmly, "Sister Tangtang, calm down and think carefully. You should be relieved by my attitude.

If you challenge the play I give you, the worst that will happen is that the experimental subject matter fails, and there will be no adverse consequences.

But if you fail in challenging Wang Jiawei, you will not only lose a play, but also several years of your life."

Tang Yan complained: "Director Wei, you even say scumbag words so nicely."

"Don't you think it's the truth?" Director Wei asked back.

Tang Yan couldn't refute it.

Because what Director Wei said does make sense.

Unless the film is directed by Director Wei himself, none of his films can become a hit.

Currently, only Director Wei has this undefeated record.

But Director Wei never promised her that he would give her the leading role in his next new film.

So, Director Wei really didn't lie to her.

The reason why she rejected Wang Jiawei for Director Wei was not entirely because of Director Wei's offer.

Wang Jiawei’s own resume is indeed scary.

Moreover, the team has not been formally established until now. This kind of slow and meticulous efficiency makes her want to quit.

As far as Tang Yan knows, the male lead Hu Ge and the female lead Ma Yili of "Fang Hua" are also in contact with other dramas.

Theoretically, it is possible to connect the two scenes when filming Wang Jiawei's dramas.

But if it gets out, people will definitely criticize it for being unprofessional.

After weighing all factors, Tang Yan gave up.

But now she feels that although Director Wei is more reliable than Wang Jiawei, he is not much more reliable.

Thinking of this, Tang Yan complained: "I feel like I was tricked into getting on a pirate ship by you."

"Correction, it's a big ship."

Director Wei said: "And the possibility of success is still very high. Don't underestimate the aesthetic taste of today's audiences.

In addition, A Station will focus on promoting the second part of "The Age of Surprises" overseas, and there may be unexpected surprises."

Tang Yan was stunned: "Overseas promotion?"

"Yes, the setting of the second part does challenge the thinking of traditional domestic audiences, so the overseas version of Station A will focus on promoting it and strive to achieve a breakthrough abroad."

Director Wei explained: "Some bold plots will also have a larger audience abroad.

The overseas version of Station A is competing with Netflix, and in the future it will focus on showing more provocative dramas that suit the tastes of foreign audiences."

Tang Yan heard the subtext in Director Wei's words.

"So, the second part will be much bigger?"

"It will indeed expose the cruelty of the adult world and the capitalist world, as well as the truth about upper-class marriages, including the white-skinned justice system and the materialism of the world."

Director Wei said calmly, "Sister Tangtang, I can't guarantee that the second part of "The Age of Surprises" will be a hit, but I can guarantee that the second part will have a very good reputation, even better than the first one I shot."

Tang Yan's eyes lit up.

My heart started beating fast.

It's really tragic.

But it has been a long time since Tang Yan made a well-received masterpiece.

Of course, this is a statement of high emotional intelligence.

In fact, she seems to have never made any good films with good reputations. "Chinese Paladin III" was already a movie in 2009.

And the three beauties of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" are the main pillars.

The first female lead is Da Mimi.

It cannot be considered Tang Yan’s absolute representative work.

So Tang Yan would be very happy if she could be given a well-received work.

Traffic stars of their level actually lack good reputation.

"If what you said is true, Director Wei, the second part's reputation should be pretty good."

After all, Tang Yan is also an insider in the industry and understands the filming methods that create high reputation.

As long as there are more criticisms and they are relatively real and down-to-earth, the reputation will generally not be too bad.

Director Wei’s description fits this perfectly.

"But will it be effective to focus on promoting the second film overseas? Shouldn't people be interested in the sequel only after they've seen the first one?"

Tang Yan was not fooled by Director Wei's technique of drawing pie in the sky.

Keep calm and think.

"The first film won't be easy to promote overseas, right?" Tang Yan pointed at the TV.

Director Wei nodded and said, "The first film really didn't have a big market overseas. It's too old and foreigners are basically not interested in it."

In fact, many domestic audiences are not very interested in stories that happened in the last century.

Don't even expect foreign audiences to be interested.

Director Wei has anticipated this and will not blindly invest promotional resources.

Tang Yan frowned and said, "How do we promote the second part?"

Director Wei smiled and said: "It has no impact. Although the second part is not an independent story, not watching the first part will definitely not affect watching the second part. The screenwriter will solve this problem.

Furthermore, the protagonist of the second film has entered a new stage in his life, implying that he will break away from his previous identity and become a true elite, a propertied class, no longer the simple young man he once was."

With just a few words from Director Wei, Tang Yan really felt the depth of the second part of "The Age of Surprises".

“I’m kind of looking forward to the second part.”

Tang Yan murmured.

After all, he is a practitioner in the entertainment industry.

She still has basic artistic aesthetics.

Although 99% of the roles she takes are naive and innocent.

Tang Yan is also well aware of this.

So while she was looking forward to it, she also started to worry.

"In my second film, I'm going to play a mercenary female lawyer?"

Director Wei corrected him again: "It's not about profiteering. It's about serving the customer. The customer's interests are paramount, even if the customer is not a good person."

Tang Yan reminded: "I have watched domestic legal dramas. Generally speaking, if the actions of a client or company violate public order and good morals, the lawyers played by the male and female protagonists will choose to take the initiative to report their clients or companies."

Director Wei sneered, "Indeed, there are many such brain-dead plots.

So I hope Sister Tangtang can play a real lawyer and correct many people’s misconceptions.

Once a lawyer signs a contract, he or she should do everything for the client.

Within the scope permitted by law, safeguarding the client's best interests is the priority, even if it violates public order and good morals. This is the professional value of lawyers."

"I think I understand the character you're talking about, Director Wei."

Tang Yan nodded, but her tone was very unconfident: "I only have one question, can I play this kind of role well?"

Director Wei simply opened his phone, turned on the front camera and aimed it at Tang Yan's face.

"look carefully."

"what?"

Tang Yan didn't react.

Director Wei pointed at Tang Yan's face in the camera and asked seriously, "Tell me, do you look like a silly and sweet girl?"

Tang Yan: "..." "You clearly have the face of a queen, but with the body of a queen, why can't you play a queen?"

Director Wei felt quite disappointed with the student.

"Zhao Liying has a sweet face, but she always wants to play strong women."

"Tangtang, you have a queen face and a natural queen figure, but you end up playing the silly and innocent role every day."

"You two are making your own artistic careers more difficult."

Director Wei’s complaints are very sharp.

Generally speaking, actors must make the most of their physical appearance.

Someone like Chen Daoming can't play the role of a handsome and powerful general.

Even someone like Huang Bo and Baoqiang can't play a handsome guy.

Someone like Tang Yan shouldn't play the role of a silly and sweet girl.
