Chapter 653: The Attack of Rouba and the Golden Body of Boss Wei
Wei Yang finished listening to the report on "Chi Le Chuan". Although there are still some issues that have not been resolved, it did not prevent the show from entering the countdown to start filming.

If nothing unexpected happens, "Chi Le Chuan" will start filming after the Spring Festival, mainly shooting winter scenes.

Because the drama "Chi Le Chuan" spans several decades, there are naturally winter and summer. Summer is easy to achieve in a costume drama, just add a few ice basins, but winter still requires some effort, especially if you want to create some snow scenes, then you still have to depend on the weather.

Although filming has not started yet, Chi Le Chuan has already sent some teams to scout the location and record some exterior scenes, including the rare grassland landscape and heavy snow and rain.

With these exterior shots, we can use editing to let the audience know that it is raining and snowing.

At that time, we will use rain trucks and artificial snow to coordinate the filming. Although it cannot be done for large scenes, it will be no problem for local scenes and indoor scenes.

Filming will start after the Spring Festival and should be completed before the summer vacation. At most, it will last until the summer vacation, and there are also scenes in spring, autumn and summer.

Wei Yang is not focusing much on "Chi Le Chuan" for the time being. New Year's Day has just passed and the Spring Festival is just a month away, so there are a lot of things to do in several companies.

There are also some related meetings and activities that Wei Yang can't postpone. Since New Year's Day, he has traveled to Beijing two or three times in the past few days.

After finishing her confinement, Fan Xiaopang simply returned to Beijing. On the one hand, she started to pick up the Bingyang Company, and on the other hand, she began to prepare and promote "All Is Well".

This drama was originally planned to be broadcast at the beginning of the year, but it was postponed because of Fan Xiaopang and is expected to be broadcast after the Spring Festival.

So, the opening drama of the year between Blue Whale and PPTV became.

"Like a Flowing River 2" and "Three Lives, Three Worlds, The Pillow Book"

The former is okay. The first part was broadcast at the beginning of the year last year. This year it is a continuation of the previous work, and the broadcast platform has also been changed from satellite TV to CCTV.

For themes like "A Flowing River", CCTV's platform is much better than satellite TV.

As for "Three Lives Three Worlds: The Pillow Book", it was originally planned to be released in the summer. Later, considering that there were too many "family" movies in the summer, and "The Mystic Nine", also starring Dilraba Dilmurat, the release date was moved.

It was originally planned that "All Is Well" would be released at the beginning of the year, and "Eternal Love of Dream" would be released after the Spring Festival or in March. Later, the two dramas were swapped.

Since the hit drama Love O2016O in late , Dilraba Dilmurat only made a guest appearance in Eternal Love last year.

In fact, given Rouba's diligence, it is impossible for her to only shoot one drama. Even with business and variety shows, she has produced a lot.

She is the female lead in "Three Lives Three Worlds: The Pillow Book".

This was something Wei Yang and Da Mimi had discussed when they were filming Eternal Love. They wanted to extract Feng Jiu's story and film a separate drama. Mi Xing would participate in the investment, and the male lead would also be given to Mi Xing's artist.

Rouba went to make a guest appearance to support Da Mimi at that time, and now Da Mimi has to come to assist her.

Another drama is "The Mystic Nine", a spin-off of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". Nanpai Sanshu collaborated with Blue Whale, and Rouba played the female lead Yin Xinyue.

There is another ancient costume drama, which is also an online literature IP, called "Ashes of Love", and Dilraba Dilmurat plays the leading female role. However, the drama is still in production, so it is hard to say whether it will be broadcast this year.

In the movie industry, she played the female lead in "A Good Show" directed and starred by Huang Bo, replacing Shu Dazui.

It is said that Huang Bo himself supported Shu Dazui more, but the film was invested by Boss Wei, and the producer and team also felt that Rouba was more popular and prettier than Shu Dazui, so Director Huang finally compromised.

In addition, in the crew of "Journey to the West: The Women Kingdom", Rouba also won the leading role of the Queen of the Women Kingdom.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Liying was initially eyed for this film, but she was pregnant at the time, so she declined the invitation, but recommended the two beauties from Xinjiang Province to the crew.

After evaluation, the crew of "Journey to the West: The Women Kingdom" felt that Dilraba Dilmurat was also suitable and the collaboration was reached.

When Dilraba Dilmurat joined the crew, she not only brought in a wave of investment from Boss Wei Jade Shrimp, but also facilitated Huang Xiaoming to play the male lead, Tang Monk. This was truly a great deed, and the director was laughing his ass off.

It can also be seen from these resources that Dilraba Dilmurat, the top 90s flower, is now definitely the top among the top.

At the same time, she also benefited a lot from the temporary retirement of Zhao, Liu, Fan and others.

If Da Mimi is the first beneficiary, she ranks second, followed by Tang Yan, Nazha, Liu Tianxian, Shuangzijie and others.

The three palaces fell, and the women were full!

Although this is a joke among the people, it is not without reason. If Fan Xiaopang and the other three work normally, even if they don't have any outstanding performances, Da Mimi will not be able to become strong. Rouba may be good on the small screen and in variety shows, but his business and film resources will definitely be discounted.

Right now, Liu, Zhao, and Fan have just made or are about to make a comeback, and they have to focus part of their energy on family and behind the scenes, so they will not be doing much in the short term.

This gives Di Lieba enough time to perform.

With three dramas and two movies, plus the efforts in business and variety shows, Dilraba Dilmurat is coming on strong.

If last year was the [Year of Yang Mi], then focusing the works on this year's Dilraba Dilmurat would make it the [Year of Dilraba Dilmurat].

"Three Lives, Three Worlds, The Pillow Book" is Dilraba Dilmurat's first release in 2018.

Although the ratings are not as good as "A Flowing River 2", the online broadcast and related popularity firmly rank first.

What disappointed Di Lieba a little was that the performance and influence of "Eternal Love" were obviously not as good as "Eternal Love" .

What made her feel a little relieved was that although "Eternal Love of Dream" did not become a hit, it was still considered a popular drama.

The likable character of Fengjiu also won her a lot of fans. Although she did not achieve the expected goals, she did gain a lot of benefits and it can be considered a good start.

The two hit TV series, "A Flowing River" and "Eternal Love of Dream", also brought PPTV's market value to a new level.

In fact, since its official listing in November, PPTV's shares have been on an upward trend except for the initial flat performance.

Many events, such as Wei Yang's dinner party, becoming the richest man, Liu Shishi's comeback at the Starry Night Ceremony, and the popularity of the new drama at the beginning of the year, have accelerated this upward momentum from time to time.

As of mid-January, PPTV has exceeded US$1 billion, equivalent to approximately RMB 180 billion, and its momentum is so strong that it is eye-catching.

However, this did not satisfy Boss Wei. In his impression, iQiyi surpassed NetEase in just over three months after its listing, with a market value of more than US$300 billion.

It has been nearly three months since PPTV went public, but its value has only increased by a few billion US dollars. This is really too slow.

However, this does not mean that PPTV is worse than iQiyi in its previous life. Although it is inferior in some aspects, overall, PPTV is stronger. The reason why it did not rise so fast is probably due to the market.

2018 is a golden year, with businesses taking off and the stock market booming. PPTV went public several months in advance, but it is not yet time for it to make a big push.

IQIYI can grow to 300 billion US dollars, and PPTV is expected to be no less than that. If the hot events are well coordinated, the market value can increase even more significantly.

There is also Bilibili, which is also planning to go public this year, and many investment companies such as Pinduoduo and ByteDance are also beginning to explode.

Boss Wei was both happy and worried.

He is happy that he has saved some money for his three sons, but he is worried that the businesses under his name are taking off. Will his plan to step down as the richest man succeed?

Can Mr. Xu, who he has high hopes for, hold on? If not, let's bring in Pony Ma as well. After all, Pinduoduo and Bilibili have Penguin's participation, and ByteDance seems to have a small stake in Penguin, and there are even more other invested companies.

Damn it, it's Brother Xiao Ma who is making a fortune quietly. Could it be that he is the one behind me becoming the richest man?

Of course, this is just a joke. No matter how much Penguin invests, Pony Ma is just one of the shareholders of Penguin, and the beneficiary of Wei Yang's investment is himself.

This is also the reason why Boss Wei’s net worth is higher than that of Pony Ma even though his investment scale is far less than that of Penguin.

Even though Wanda’s Wang Yongkang was ranked higher than the two Ma Yunians on the Forbes list in the past two years, it was not because Wanda was more powerful than Alibaba and Penguin, but because most of Wanda’s shares were in Wang Yongkang’s hands, which was far better than the two Ma Yunians who only had single-digit or double-digit shares.

But no matter what, the Penguins are destined to achieve brilliant results this year.

Boss Wei has already decided that if Boss Xu can't hold on, Brother Ma will take the blame.

Double insurance, no chance of becoming the richest man!
Boss Wei, who had been away for a long time, closed his notebook, left the venue with a serious expression, and returned to Jiuzhang Villa.

Fatty Fan was strolling with Young Master Wei in his arms, and when he saw him come back, he asked, "Is the meeting over?"

Wei Yang nodded and threw the notebook on the coffee table: "Li Xlu and the other two are useless. They are completely defined as bad artists, and hip-hop culture is strongly suppressed. In particular, tattooed actors, subculture (non-mainstream culture) and mourning culture (decadent culture) are not allowed."

Fatty Fan was shocked: "Is it that serious?"

"Well, the higher-ups have already decided on the tone, and the document will be issued soon. Putting aside the temporary addition of hip-hop culture, they have come up with the 'Four Things We Will Never Use'."

"Which four are not used?"

"Let me take a look."

Wei Yang picked up the notebook again and opened it to record: "Actresses who are disloyal to the Party and have low moral character; actors who are vulgar, worldly-seeking, and vulgar in their programs; actors whose ideological realm and style are not high; actors who have stains, scandals, and moral problems."

"In addition, the approval of programs, concerts, and dramas will be stricter, and related content and bad artists will be banned."

"..."

Wei Yang mentioned several key points of the meeting. In a nutshell, the higher-ups were going to take strong action and the good days for celebrities were over.

Fat Fan calculated for a moment and said, "If this is strictly enforced, half of the people in the entertainment industry will be ruined."

"Of course it's impossible to strictly enforce it."

Wei Yang closed his notebook and said, "This is more like a tight ring, which hits some companies and TV stations that are too noisy, so that they will be more cautious about the impact. At the same time, it also draws a red line and will deal with those who cross the line."

The so-called four things that must not be used, in fact, if you study it you will understand that it is a very subjective summary.

The quality is not high?
What is considered a noble quality? Wei Yang has donated at least hundreds of millions to charity over the years, so this should be considered noble. But are those artists who don’t donate money sinners?

If your ideological level is not high, then why not use it more broadly?

Who can clearly explain what this ideological realm is? Supporting cross-strait reunification is an ideological realm, and making money and living a down-to-earth life is also an ideological realm.

Vulgarity, flattery, stains, and scandals are even more difficult to measure!

Is it vulgar to show body, kiss or make dirty jokes?

What does it mean to have a stain? Drug use is a stain, cheating is a stain, and some people spitting on the street is also a stain.

The scandals are even more outrageous. Which celebrity doesn’t have scandals? Cheating scandals, one-night stands scandals, normal love scandals, how do you count them?
Therefore, it is impossible to strictly enforce it. Otherwise, people will arbitrarily label artists and hold them to the standards of saints. Otherwise, there will be all kinds of reports and bans, and the entertainment industry will regress by decades, and no one will be able to play in it.

Wei Yang saw it very clearly that these so-called four unused ones were more for deterrence and drawing red lines.

On the one hand, it serves as a warning, and on the other hand, if someone really commits a crime, this regulation can be applied to them. Because the generalization is subjective, it can apply to everything.

This regulation can be used to judge an artist as a bad artist and ban him/her if he/she violates the law, commits a crime, has moral issues, or has issues with his/her stance.

At the same time, if someone commits a crime and has someone protecting him, this can also be used as an explanation to let him off the hook.

"The punishment is unpredictable, but the power is unfathomable."

Wei Yang felt a little emotional. Drawing a red line is not scary. What is scary is that the red line can be adjusted flexibly.

What's even more ironic is that at the meeting to discuss regulations for bad artists, he, the biggest scumbag in the entertainment industry with the most scandals and even a semi-public harem, was present and even had a lot of say.

What the outside world does not know is that during the discussion, Wei Yang pleaded for his sister-in-law Lu, but unfortunately she was caught as an example and could not be saved.

Wei Yang's move was not for his sister-in-law's benefit, but for himself, and he kept emphasizing this during the discussion of relevant details.

Illegal crimes and bottom-line stances should be dealt with, but matters between men and women are more of a moral issue, and the law does not have clear provisions, so the authorities should not interfere too much.

It was also because of his insistence that the strictness of handling related issues was relaxed.

But it is impossible to completely ignore it. Matters between men and women are indeed unrelated to the law, but artistes are public figures with a strong social influence. If the impact of the incident is too negative and bad, we cannot ignore it.

Of course, specific circumstances require specific analysis!
These things would be troublesome for ordinary artists, but with Boss Wei's current foundation, the most he can do is give him a minor punishment or a severe warning.

There is a reason why he can still attend the relevant meetings despite his mess. In a few days, he will have to attend two important meetings, both organized by the cabinet, one about the economy and the other about the cultural industry.

Wei Yang will also attend the two conferences in the near future as a representative and a committee member respectively.

There are even rumors that Boss Wei will be among the entrepreneurs accompanying him on this year's trip.
In this situation, as long as Boss Wei doesn't do anything serious and his individual lifestyle problems are not exposed to the public, many people will turn a blind eye to them.

From this perspective, Wei Yang's role as the richest man this time is not all disadvantages, there are also many advantages.

After playing with his son for a while, Wei Yang suddenly remembered something. He had just heard in a meeting that Feng Kuzi's "Cell Phone 2" had been filed and was going to start filming at a later date.

"Is there any problem with your company's accounts? Especially in terms of taxes."

Fatty Fan looked at him in confusion: "No problem, you've asked me several times, why do you care about my taxes?"

You ask me why I care? Of course I’m afraid of having to pay your fine!
Wei Yang complained in his heart, but still said: "I heard some noise. The higher-ups may have some action in this regard. I'll send someone there later. Let's go through it carefully."

In addition to Bingyang, Da Mimi's Mixing, Blue Whale, Coral Entertainment and its artist studios also need to be reviewed.

Although he was very careful in this regard and had repeatedly instructed Fan Xiaopang and others, he was afraid that they would listen. So he gave the order, but the people under him did not take it seriously.

There are also artists who have been cheated by their companies and staff, so it is better to be cautious in everything.

The Huayi bombshell that he has been waiting for for a long time will explode in a few months. Don’t let it happen without watching the excitement and end up getting bloodied…
