Chapter 631 Three Sons is a Big Pressure
The success of the drama "Zhu Xian" made Zhang Ruoyun, who was already very popular, seem to be the top actor of the new generation.

In fact, this [new generation] has already wronged Zhang Ruoyun a little.

In recent years, he has participated in a series of hit TV series including "Swords of Legends", "Legend of Dance and Music", "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", "Love O2O", and "Zhu Xian".

Especially "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and "Love O2O", which are extremely popular.

From the perspectives of business, popularity and performance, it can compete for the top five or even top three of the year.

Zhang Ruoyun is the male lead in every drama. Although due to the plot and seniority, he may not always be the first, but he has never been relegated to second place. The people who benefit the most from each drama are inseparable from him.

After starring in several dramas, his current popularity and exposure are definitely the best among the best.

Seniors such as Hu Ge had to stay out of the spotlight, and popular young actors such as Lu Han and Tan Tan were completely surpassed. Whether it was the legendary four popular young actors, or other versions of the top five or eight, Zhang was the leader.

Logically speaking, Zhang Ruoyun's status in the circle is quite impressive, but he was born at the wrong time.

No matter how popular he is, there is always Boss Wei above him.

There is no need to think about the title of the top young actor in mainland China. Even if Wei Yang was not there, Zhang Ruoyun would not be able to get it without enough film achievements.

He is the number one young actor on the small screen. Actually, he has had opportunities in recent years, but with Boss Wei around, it is not legitimate for him to do so.

I won’t even mention the five consecutive wins in ratings championship, the various ratings records, or the double Best Actor awards at the Golden Eagle and Magnolia Awards.

Wei Yang and Zhang Ruoyun each have a drama released at the same time, so the latter will definitely be the loser.

Even though "Love O2O" performed better last year, "Day and Night" was the one that was hailed as the number one online drama. Comprehensive comparison shows that the two are not at the same level at all.

The saddest thing is that Zhang Ruoyun became famous late, but she is

Born in 1988, just one year younger than Wei Yang, he can't even get the title of the number one young actor of the 80s or 85s.

So the title everyone gave him is the No. 1 traffic star, but he doesn't want to be associated with the word "traffic", so he can only bully the new generation.

Although he is older, he became famous around the same time as these traffic stars. Many people regard them as of the same generation, so it can't be said that he is pretending to be young.

The name is not intimidating enough, but the strength is beyond doubt!
In terms of income, in the Forbes list of artists' income in the first half of 2017, Zhang Ruoyun ranked fourth with an income of 1.3 million.

The way income is calculated in the current Forbes celebrity rankings has changed.

In the early days, investment returns related to film and television were included. For example, Cheng Long topped the list many times, and Zhang Guoli, Zhao Benshan and others were at the top, all of which clearly stated that the investment returns for film and television were calculated.

Later, Boss Wei emerged and his income broke through the circle. He earned more than the second to ninth place combined, causing the credibility of the list to plummet.

In addition, as a large number of celebrities began to work behind the scenes and it was difficult to have clear income, Forbes changed the rules.

More attention is paid to artists’ direct personal income such as film pay, endorsements, and concert income.

As for other income such as investment and operation, it is occasionally included, but the conditions are rather complicated and depend on the circumstances.

After the rules changed, Boss Wei finally stopped jumping so much.

Even after Wei Yang drastically reduced his personal endorsements, the top spot on the list was taken away by Fan Xiaopang based solely on his personal "meager pay".

Wei Yang's wealth has skyrocketed this year, to at least tens of billions, but from an artist's perspective, he is pitifully poor.

Fan Xiaopang and Liu Shishi, and even Zhao Liying who has risen in the past two years, have seen their related income decline sharply due to their retirement.

The worst off is Liu Shishi, who has not made any moves this year and has disappeared from the list directly. Fan Xiaopang and Zhao Liying are still in business, and with some old capital, they have not disappeared directly.

Especially Fan, who had been preparing for pregnancy for half a year, and after a period of sporadic and temporary work, she managed to reach the twelfth place in the half-year list.

She is worthy of being the number one money-making queen in the entertainment industry!

Wei, Fan, Liu, and Zhao are out of the picture this year, but the one who is shaking is Da Mimi. She topped the Forbes Celebrity List for the first time in history, although it is only a semi-annual list.

Ranked second is Lu Han. Although his performance in film and television is not as good as Zhang Ruoyun, when it comes to commercial money-making ability, none of the 85 flowers can say that they will win.

The third is Tang Yan. With the departure of the above big names and the popularity of the “Ode to Joy” series, Tang Yan has exploded this year.

Especially in the business aspect, it cooperated with brands such as Chopard, Lancome, Porsche and so on, and made a profit of 9000 million in half a year.

It's a pity that Cheng Long is ranked fifth, surpassing Dilraba Dilmurat, otherwise the top five on the Forbes Celebrity List in the first half of 2017 would all belong to the Blue Whale series.

This also means that the Blue Whale artists’ earnings this year are extremely considerable.

Yang Tianzhen of Coral Entertainment, which owns three top money-making stars, Tang Yan, Zhang Ruoyun and Lu Han, as well as a large number of popular stars, has also begun to consider going public.

After all, it is now a hot period for listing in the entertainment industry.

Even Mi Bank, which relies on Da Mimi for its livelihood, dares to call for financing and listing. Although Coral Entertainment is mainly engaged in artist management, its business is profitable enough, its momentum is strong enough, and it is backed by the Blue Whale system, so it is naturally ambitious.

Wei Yang was noncommittal about its listing.

In his mind, Coral Entertainment is just a business supplement to Blue Whale. It is acceptable for him not to go public, and he will not stop it from going public to make some money, as long as his interests and control over the company are guaranteed.

It has to be said that the listing of PPTV has influenced Boss Wei to a certain extent, and he has become much more open in this regard than before.

There is no way, he has indeed tasted the sweetness, his wealth has skyrocketed, and it is not the inflated valuation of the past, but shares that can be exchanged for real money. Who wouldn't be confused?

Fortunately, Boss Wei was able to control his greed and knew that the greater the temptation, the greater the risk.

Even if the attitude towards listing is relaxed, these are all industry branches or companies that have already considered listing. The real core will always maintain a cautious and conservative attitude.

In this way, even if there is a crash in the stock market in the future, at most you will suffer serious injuries, but your foundation will not be in jeopardy.

...

"I have to leave more property for my son."

At Gubei No. 1, Wei Yang and Zhao Liying talked over some details. Boss Wei had already made plans for Fan Xiaopang and his daughter. Liu Shishi didn't care much about these things. He could only talk to Zhao Liying about some of his inner thoughts.

Zhao Liying stroked her belly with her hand. Her previously sharp eyes softened a lot and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"There is no limit to the family business. No matter what, this child will never lack money in the future. In fact, compared to taking over, I hope he can be a doctor, teacher or something, and live a carefree life."

Wei Yang was not surprised by Zhao Liying's thoughts. As someone who was in the middle of it, he knew how huge and terrifying the Blue Whale system was.

If you want to manage such a large business giant, you will inevitably have extremely high requirements for your successor.

Zhao Liying herself is a competitive person and never willing to be outdone. She has worked with Boss Wei to build such a great business, but she hopes that her children can live a peaceful and happy life.

Of course, this could also be a temporary effect of pregnancy hormones. Considering her personality, Wei Yang still doubted that she would choose to "raise a baby like a chicken."

In addition, he couldn't help but correct Zhao Liying's misunderstanding: "Who told you that doctors and teachers have an easy life?" These two professions are also very competitive, okay? !

Many doctors have become bald at a young age; some departments often work around the clock and have no time to rest.

Being a teacher is relatively better, but it’s not easy either. The most important thing is that most people don’t have high incomes.

Of course, this is talking about ordinary people. With the family background of the Second Young Master Wei, unless he is inward-looking, he can indeed be much more comfortable than his peers.

That’s right, the baby in Zhao Liying’s belly was tested and it’s also a boy.

Not only Zhao Liying, but Fan Xiaopang also took the test and it was still a boy, which made Boss Wei, who wanted a daughter, a little disappointed.

At the same time, in recent times, Boss Wei has become more open-minded and attaches more importance to monetary assets, which is also partly because he is about to have three sons.

Raising a son is stressful!
An ordinary family with three sons has to tie their hands and feet together when they sleep at night, for fear that the other will run away in the middle of the night.

Boss Wei's situation is definitely much better, but he has also been affected to some extent.

Of course, in addition to pressure, there is also motivation!

As a father, I am quite capable. With the help of cheats, I can work harder and earn more for the family. Then my children will have an easier time in the future.

In fact, Boss Wei’s ideas are somewhat similar to Zhao Liying’s current thinking.

It's enough to have him as a father to make money, and there is no need for the children to take over.

Anyway, Boss Wei has never personally approved of the family business inheritance system. Many well-known companies have failed because of family heirs.

The second generation of rich people want to squander the family fortune. One way is to start a business, the other is to take over. It's a bloody lesson.

Therefore, Wei Yang hopes that his children can find a legitimate job or do something they like, and then lie down and share the money.

It doesn't matter even if I become a playboy like Mr. Wang, as long as I don't touch gambling and drugs.

Well, it’s best not to go too far, like having an illegitimate child and having the whole internet gossip about it…

Speaking of this, Boss Wei still had a headache, because he just remembered that the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Wang seemed to be called Shanshan, the same nickname as his eldest son.

Isn't this a mess of generations?
Zhao Liying didn't know that Wei Yang's thoughts had drifted to Young Master Wang. She took a break and started walking and exercising in the villa again.

Her belly is not big, but her body is petite, so the difficulty of delivery may be higher than that of ordinary people. The medical team has even prepared for a caesarean section.

However, she didn't really want to have a cesarean section, so as she approached her due date, she exercised every day in the hope of increasing the chances of a natural birth.

The villa at Gubei No. 1 is not small, with a construction area of ​​several hundred square meters. After walking around the house, she was a little out of breath, but she still walked onto the stair climbing machine.

Walking up stairs is also a suitable exercise for pregnant women, but stairs are dangerous after all, so I bought a special stair climbing machine and had someone watching over me.

Usually it is the babysitter or confinement nanny, but today Boss Wei is here, and he is the one who is practicing with Zhao Liying.

The latter was a little tired but didn't want to give up halfway, so he chatted with Wei Yang to distract himself.

"I saw someone in the company's senior management group say they want to release 'Dying to Survive' ahead of schedule."

Wei Yang stared at the "stairs" and belly under her feet and nodded: "The situation is too good this year, plus the negotiations with PPTV, many people want to strike while the iron is hot. The atmosphere during the Spring Festival is not suitable, and next year's summer vacation is too late, so they are thinking about this year's National Day."

Zhao Liying was curious: "What do you think?"

"I'm still hesitating, but the release date is not a problem. Although Wolf Warrior 2 emptied the wallets of a wave of audiences, it also aroused everyone's enthusiasm for supporting domestic films."

"If we release a masterpiece at this time, and I am the box office king, the audience support will definitely be strong, and the box office prospects will be more promising than next summer, which is why this group of people are pushing for it."

"but……"

Wei Yang stopped talking, but Zhao Liying guessed his hesitation: "But it just happened to coincide with my due date."

"Yes."

Boss Wei nodded slightly. He made money for his family. It was putting the cart before the horse to put his wife and children aside at a critical moment to make money.

"Besides, there are also movies we invested in showing during the National Day holiday, such as 'The Shameful Iron Fist' and 'Dying to Survive', which will kill each other."

"Not necessarily. These two movies are not of the same subject matter, let alone the same size. If it really doesn't work out, just withdraw it from the schedule."

Although Happy Twist has achieved some results, it is still a younger brother in front of Blue Whale and Wei Yang.

Especially since "The Shameful Iron Fist" was not starred by the comedy upstart Shen Teng, it is more likely to be overlooked.

Wei Yang didn't want to argue with Zhao Liying about the dark horse status of "Shameful Iron Fist", he was more concerned about what Zhao Liying thought.

"Do you also support the National Day release?"

Zhao Liying nodded: "It's not a big deal for you to stay at home with me. Besides, my due date is in mid-to-late October, and the movie will be released during the National Day holiday. It won't delay the release of the movie if I schedule fewer road shows."

Boss Wei was a little sad: "What do you mean it's just that? I'm the child's father, okay?"

"No one said you weren't."

Zhao Liying is obviously different from Liu Shishi, who was clingy during pregnancy: "When you are at home, I feel uneasy. My mind is always wandering and I tend to slack off. When you are not around, I can be more ruthless."

Wei Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How come when you describe me like that, I become a demon who deceives the soldiers?"

Zhao Liying explained seriously: "I am not a demon, but a backbone. When you are at home, I have someone to rely on. I am lazy when exercising and I am greedy for food. When you are not here, I can only be independent and I can be ruthless and restrain myself."

Wei Yang understood and was quite shocked: "Why does it sound a bit like a widow?"

"Bah bah bah."

Zhao Liying almost tripped, but fortunately the stair climbing machine was set to a slow speed and had a relevant early warning mechanism, so it paused directly. She steadied herself, spat several times, and gave Wei Yang a fierce look.

"You have nothing to say?"

Wei Yang patted his mouth in punishment, then coaxed him a few words before saying, "I know what you mean. It's fine to release it, but I'm really worried about you when the time comes. Let's discuss the promotion plan later."

There is a set of publicity plans when the schedule is relaxed, and there is naturally another set of publicity plans when the schedule is tight.

If that doesn’t work, there’s always online promotion!
The live broadcast promotion method that was developed during the mask period can be used in advance. The effect is still good and it is economical. Masks were still used by a large number of crews in the past. In this way, it can also bring traffic to Douyin or PPTV.

Boss Wei had already planned the building tour in advance, so he could naturally move it to online live broadcast in advance, which could be regarded as an advance rehearsal for those three years…
