Who are you calling powerful?.

Chapter 20
Late autumn highlands, sunset

Yang Rong and Cui Peng looked at each other and smiled. The two of them used to hold a grudge, but for the rest of their lives, they will be "grudge Yu Huai".

"Okay, it's over."

Liu Junjie shouted from behind the monitor, and the two actors who were immersed in the play came back to their senses. Wei Yang, the "rival in love" in the play, took the lead in applauding.

"The performance was so good, I was moved."

Originally, Yang Rong was still in tears because he entered the play just now, but seeing "Lu Xinghe" so happy, he really couldn't hold back.

"You can see it quite openly."

Wei Yang was puzzled: "Otherwise, I will fight with brother Peng?"

Yang Rong choked for a moment, but she also knew that Wei Yang was not happy that the hero and heroine in the play finally got married, but that "The Best of Us" was finished after filming this scene.

"Happy ending!"

boom!
A few firework tubes were unscrewed, and the sky filled with colored films were scattered towards the male lead and the director, and Wei Yang led the two of them to set off a lot of fireworks and firecrackers.

In 2007, the management of banning fireworks and firecrackers in Shanghai was not strict, and Chongming was in the outer ring, and no one cared about it.

"The restaurant has already been booked. Come to the green banquet at seven o'clock in the evening."

Producer Sun Wei yelled, attracting cheers from the crowd. Those who finished their work invited their friends and companions to the restaurant, and the rest were still packing up the equipment and cleaning.

Wei Yang left the supervisor behind, and Sun Wei came over to have a look before leaving, and quietly slipped a bank card.

Putting it in his trouser pocket calmly, Wei Yang asked Sun Wei with his eyes, and the latter whispered.

"There is some budget left, and the filial people below, I have ordered a copy for you, the password is six zeros."

Wei Yang understood that this kind of situation is commonplace, and it is inevitable that the crew will overspend or have a surplus in filming.

Regardless of the former, the remaining budget of the latter is generally handed over the whole money, and the operation is done in fractions, which is convenient for paying the account, and everyone can also drink some soup along with it.

As for the contribution below, it is mainly some logistics or departments that can profit from it.

Unless the backstage is hard, they usually know a little bit, and the director, producer, etc. need to know a little bit.

A producer like Sun Wei reads the account books every day, and Wei Yang also has a lot of bills in his hand every day, and he can roughly calculate something. Being too stingy is offending others.

It's not that the higher-ups don't understand these things, Xia Cong must know, and Chairman Zheng probably also understands.

When the water is clear, there are no fish!

For them, as long as things are done well, it's not a big deal to share a little bit.

But the premise is that the food should not be too ugly, just drink some soup and gnaw on the bones.

In fact, Wei Yang didn't want to take the money, not because he was honest and selfless, but because he didn't want to leave a bad impression on Xia Cong and Lao Zheng, but Sun Wei offered to ask for a share, and if he didn't take it, he would beat Sun Wei Face.

"Thank you, Brother Sun."

"We brothers don't talk about this."

Seeing that Wei Yang accepted it, Sun Wei was all smiles, not to mention that his friendship with Wei Yang was not bad at all.

More importantly, Sun Wei knew that Wei Yang was very popular with Lao Zheng, and even Xia Cong admired him quite a lot, and that Wei Yang often transferred accounts in his hand, although he didn't know the total number, but to be on the safe side, he still had to keep his mouth shut .

...

At the finale banquet in the evening, Zheng Dong and Xia Cong also came over. After all, it was the company's first project, and they still paid more attention to it.

Wei Yang sat at the same table with them, and he didn't need to serve tea and wine, mainly to help Chairman Zheng and Xia Cong keep the wine away.

Just kidding, the two big bosses have arrived, and the cast and crew are not allowed to come over and make a toast.

Ordinary people can still deal with it with a sip. There are also many people in charge and main creators who have worked hard on the crew. Not to mention having a drink with them, at least they can't be too perfunctory.

Mr. Zheng was fine, he was considered a veteran of the liquor store, and he could barely handle it. Xia Cong was miserable. He could drink very badly. It was said that he would have to vomit after two bottles of beer, so Wei Yang could only help.

"Brother Lu, Mr. Xia has eaten cephalosporins, so he can't drink it. How about it, let's go together."

"Sister Liu, thanks to your care, Mr. Xia can't drink, as long as we are happy, I will drink with you."

"Haha, Brother Fu, Zheng Dao just drank a few cups, let him slow down, we two did it."

"..."

There are about one or two sized cups in the restaurant, and when people come to drink, it takes half an hour, and the two bottles of 52-degree sky blue are directly emptied. Wei Yang looks calm, but his voice is slightly louder.

The people who came to toast are stupid, good guy, are you sure you are drinking wine and not water?

Seeing this, Zheng Dong laughed beside him, and patted Wei Yang on the shoulder, looking proud.

"Xiao Wei is the best drinker I've ever seen. I saw him drink several bottles of Remy Martin, and he didn't even wobble when he walked."

Wei Yang seldom drinks alcohol in the film crew, even if there is a party, he will not drink easily. At most, he knows that he drinks well, but he didn't expect it to be so good.

"What's your peak drinking capacity?"

Xia Cong couldn't help but ask curiously about the "vegetable chicken in the winery", Wei Yang gave a vague answer: "I haven't tried it on purpose, I drank four or five catties at most."

After reaching that amount, even if you are not drunk, you are actually a little overwhelmed, and basically everyone who drinks at the same table is useless.

Wei Yang has no hobby of self-torture, so he has to drink himself up to the bottom.

Blocking the toasts to Lao Zheng and Xia Cong, Wei Yang ate a few mouthfuls of food, and did not stay idle. He took the initiative to toast with a bottle of sky blue.

First, the two big bosses, Zheng and Xia, have to express themselves.

Director Liu Junjie has been cared for a lot, so he had to toast twice.

Sun Wei was also nice to him, so he had to drink.

Teacher Fan Ming has been giving pointers, so he must toast and thank you.

All the people in charge are all contacts, so they have to go around in circles.

The several main creators get along harmoniously, having a cup to express their respect to each other.

……

There was one who kept staring at Wei Yang until his scalp felt a little numb, and he gained at least another catty and a half after this lap.

Although Wei Yang's face was slightly flushed, he behaved decently, his eyes were clear, and his figure did not falter at all.

Everyone is convinced!
Everyone has heard of some drinking gods, who drink more than ten catties of wine, and who don't get drunk after a thousand cups. Although Wei Yang is not as exaggerated as the rumors, he has actually seen it with his own eyes.

But Wei Yang is not a god after all, even though he didn't vomit, he had to go to the toilet to drain the water after drinking several catties of wine.

As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he saw Yang Rong following him, and worriedly advised him.

"Even if you have a good capacity for alcohol, you can't drink like this. It's too harmful. I'll ask the kitchen to make you some porridge."

"No, it's almost a respect, and there is no need to drink, there is soup on the table."

It's not that Wei Yang is ignorant of good people. He knows that drinking is not good, and he will never be brave when he has enough alcohol.

Drinking is just a means of communication for him, he is not addicted to alcohol, except for wine shops, he hardly touches it every day.

Now is the time to climb up. It is unavoidable that he can't help himself and express himself intentionally. When he reaches a certain position, no one will force him if he doesn't want to drink.

Being reborn by luck, Wei Yang cherishes his life......

"It's good that you know it in your heart. You are still young anyway, so don't be in a hurry."

Yang Rong tried a few more words of persuasion, and Wei Yang nodded in agreement, no matter whether he recognized it or not, as long as he was a good person, he would not easily argue back.

After returning to the restaurant, Wei Yang didn't toast anymore, but finally clinked two glasses together with Daliu.

...

"Looking at the iron hooves clanging, walking all over thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, I stand on the cusp of the wind and waves, holding the sun and the moon and spinning..."

In the KTV box, Zheng Dong put his arms around Shen Tiantian and sang heartily. Although his voice was a bit broken, he still won the applause of others.

After the wrap-up banquet, Zheng Dong, who likes to be lively, proposed to change the scene, and many people came to sing K.

He crazily turned on the mic with his sister in his arms, while Wei Yang, Xia Cong, and Director Liu applauded and chatted about business.

Although he is a regular drinker, Xia Cong's professionalism goes without saying. He has already found potential buyers for "The Best of Us".

"Xiang Province Satellite TV is still a little interested. They have more young audiences, and they prefer this kind of subject matter. I also found someone from Magic City Satellite TV. Although I didn't give an exact answer, I didn't refuse."

Xia Cong talked about the two satellite TVs he is currently interested in. The TV drama market is not yet fully saturated, and the difficulty of getting stars is not as great as that of later generations.

However, unless it is a key project, the chances of an ordinary drama going directly to the provincial satellite TV for the first time are not high. Xia Cong's meaning is very clear.

"Find a local station for a trial broadcast first, collect word of mouth and achievements, and then consider stardom."

This is also the basic operation of many TV dramas at present.

Now that the Internet is underdeveloped, the coverage of local stations is limited, and the plot will not be leaked if it is broadcast in advance, which can be regarded as a weight in a sense.

If the reputation of the performance is not bad, then Shangxing Satellite TV will definitely buy it, and the film studio can raise the price appropriately.

Many popular dramas came this way, until the rise of online platforms.

TV dramas are either broadcast on the stars or broadcast on the Internet, and the presence of local stations has been greatly reduced, and this method has gradually disappeared.

With Xia Cong's network, it is still difficult to go directly to the stars, so it is easy to find a local station for a trial broadcast.

"If the post-production goes well, the trial broadcast will be ready by the end of the year."

"The Best of Us" has a small number of episodes, and it is filmed sequentially according to the plot. The post-editing is not difficult, and the time is completely in time.

"Come on, Mr. Xia, Director Liu, I wish Changhong the ratings."

Wei Yang raised the beer in his hand, and Liu Junjie and Xia Cong also touched him.

From various perspectives, the interests of the three people are highly consistent in this regard. The better "The Best of Us" is, the greater their gains...
