Who are you calling powerful?.

Chapter 668: Huayi crashes, Boss Wei is so kind!

It is ambiguous whether they have joined forces or not, but it is certain that she dislikes Fan Xiaopang and feels disgusted with her.

But this matter didn't become a big deal, or it was suppressed by Boss Wei before it became a big deal.

Boss Wei didn't even need to make any special arrangements. At such a critical moment of the "Idol Producer" finals, Liu Shishi and others stole the limelight, and everyone's several months of work were in vain.

Therefore, while Liu Shishi and others expressed their opinions, a group of other stars immediately began to support the contestants of "Idol Producer".

Six beauties surrounded Fan Xiaopang?
After being "watered down" by Boss Wei and the program crew, it became the Blue Whale system mobilizing many celebrities in the circle to promote "Idol Producer", leaning towards a publicity campaign.

Surrounded by so many celebrities, the six beauties are more inclined to stuff their personal stuff in. Everyone is still happy to watch the show, but they don’t seem so eye-catching.

Compared to the old tune that everyone understands and is even tired of, that Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying dislike Fan Xiaopang, the outside world is more keen on discussing other female stars who support non-Fan Chengcheng and who is jealous and angry.

It's not new that Hou Erye cleared out the little black fat guy, but the real big news is that the little black fat guy turned around and cleared out Hou Erye!
Over the years, everyone has become a little bored with the grievances between Liu, Zhao, and Fan.

Either they have a falling out, or they reveal shocking news, or they bring in some new characters. It's always the same three-pronged approach, which is neither sweet nor quenching.

Coupled with Boss Wei’s behind-the-scenes manipulation, the popularity of this matter was soon overshadowed by “Idol Producer”, and the number of answers on Zhihu was even less than that of the troubled Korean female president next door.

However, Wei Yang did not do so without paying a price. Liu Shishi, whose plan was ruined, kicked him out of the master bedroom that night.

The sofa is not suitable for sleeping!

Although it is just a temporary hideout in Hengdian, Boss Wei always buys big houses rather than small ones. This one has four bedrooms and two living rooms. Even if there is a confinement nanny living in the house, Boss Wei still has a bed to sleep in.

Speaking of which, it seems that Tang Yan had slept in this bed when she came home a few days ago, so Wei Yang could be considered a "double-sleeper" to some extent.

Wei Yang, who was driven out, was happy to have some peace and quiet. The pressure he had been under these days was not only mental, but he was also physically and mentally exhausted.

After filming every day, I have to deal with these two competing aunts when I get home, not to mention that there is also Tang Yan who is causing trouble in the middle.

With the arrival of Liu and Zhao, Tang Yan's dream of a world for two was temporarily shattered. She didn't dare to confront Liu and Zhao head-on, so she secretly hooked up with Boss Wei on the crew and took revenge in a roundabout way.

At the worst time, Boss Wei kept forgetting his lines during filming for two consecutive days.

You know, the script of "Chi Le Chuan" was written by Boss Wei himself. Moreover, as an actor who started out as a screenwriter, Boss Wei has been good at memorizing lines for so many years since his debut. This time, half of his life's wisdom was ruined by these three women.

The next day, Boss Wei, who had had enough sleep, continued filming "Chi Le Chuan" refreshed.

The biggest hot topic in the entertainment industry is still "Idol Producer". After several months of competition, the 9-member group finally made their successful debut.

Brother Kun, who had been "fighting" against capital for a long time, lived up to expectations and won the championship position under the expectations of fans and audiences.

The biggest stumbling block on his road to success, Fan Chengcheng, did not come in second but third, which led many outsiders to speculate that this was done to avoid suspicion.

If you can't get first place, just pretend to get third place, blah blah.

In fact, there is really nothing to avoid. After getting the "villain" script, it is impossible for Fan Chengcheng to be the champion, but he has already been internally selected to debut, so it doesn't matter which place he gets.

Therefore, in the final, Fan did not have the crazy and desperate efforts of other contestants, so that the second place Chen Linong overtook him.

However, for Fan Chengcheng, he is already the biggest winner of the show "Idol Producer" except for Brother Kun.

In just a few months, he went from an amateur to a well-known and popular newcomer, although this popularity is more like black-and-white because of the controversial background and personality of the program crew.

But the same thing goes, if you want to make it in the entertainment industry, you’re not afraid of being scolded, but you’re afraid of people not recognizing you.

And the most important thing is that black and red can be washed away.

Back then, his sister Fan Xiaopang had a much worse reputation in the entertainment industry than he does now. But now she is still the famous Fan Ye, and was once known as the number one female star in Chinese entertainment.

In fact, as far as Wei Yang is concerned, he prefers Fan Chengcheng to work harder and take steady steps. With him as his brother-in-law, there will be no shortage of resources.

But this child has an impatient temper and wants to become famous quickly, but his ability is not enough, so he can only take the evil path.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the instigation of his elder sister Fan Xiaopang.

She didn't mean to trick her brother, but she had never been optimistic about Fan Chengcheng's future in the entertainment industry. She wanted him to give up when he saw difficulties, understand the terrible pressure of public opinion that celebrities have to bear, and then listen to her and go to school obediently.

And if Fan Chengcheng can get through it, it means that he has good psychological quality and is cut out for this job, so this can be regarded as a shortcut and training.

At present, it seems that my brother-in-law is more inclined to the latter.

Although he was troubled by negative public opinion, he also tasted the sweetness of being a star.

As the second winner of "Idol Producer", my brother-in-law Fan Chengcheng's fame and popularity soared, and he gained a large number of fans. The feeling of being the center of attention and being praised by many people is extremely refreshing.

Few people can resist this temptation, let alone Fan Chengcheng, an extroverted boy who has just reached adulthood and is eager for success.

As for Fan Chengcheng who has already debuted, Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang do not have any other support for the time being.

The road has been paved, and it can even be considered as forcing things to grow. If we continue to pull them up, we may kill them.

Therefore, it is best to be an idol for two years steadily to consolidate the basic base, and then consider other developments. All of these can be done by other companies Lehua, without Wei and Fan having to worry about it.

As for Brother Kun, PPTV wanted to sign him, and the two sides even reached an agreement.

Boss Wei doesn’t care about these!
To be honest, the variety show "Idol Producer" has made a lot of money, and it is PPTV's key project in the first half of this year + a boost to the stock, which is why Boss Wei paid attention to it. Even Li Ji would probably not personally inquire about such trivial matters as signing a newcomer.

Don’t even mention how popular Brother Kun is. The thing the Blue Whale series has the least of all is top-tier stars.

In other words, PPTV has some small ideas and wants to recruit some artists who are directly affiliated with the platform. Otherwise, Brother Kun will have no chance to join the Blue Whale system. Blue Whale doesn't care, but Coral Entertainment is tempted, but the internal factional resources are relatively complicated, and Brother Kun, who has little background, will have a hard time winning.

"Idol Producer" has ended, but the idol audition craze it triggered has not ended.

Almost at the same time as the final of "Idol Producer", Penguin Video also launched an idol talent show "Produce 101".

The two platforms have a tacit understanding. PPTV has boy groups, and Penguin has girl groups.

The production team of "Produce 101" also has experts. They saw the script of "Grassroots VS Royal Family" of "Idol Producer" and benefited a lot from it, which opened up their minds.

Since the general audience loves to watch this kind of drama, they can also come up with a similar script.

A grassroots background is a must, but the script of being the big devil who overwhelms the whole audience is a bit too similar to "Idol Producer".

Moreover, Idol Producer has neither a royal villain like Fan Chengcheng to create a tense and intense competition, nor a "child of destiny" like Brother Kun who beats all the contestants. Therefore, after repeated research and combining the performance of the contestants in the first two games, they decided not to go for the strength, but to start with personality and even luck.

Don’t be a big devil, be a group pet!
This also to a certain extent reflects the differences between boy group variety shows and girl group variety shows.

Relatively speaking, strength is the most important factor in the competition among boy groups. Being handsome and having a good personality can certainly attract fans, but if you don’t have the strength, you will always lack confidence.

Women also value strength, but it is not decisive. They can still overtake others if they have other outstanding advantages.

It’s no wonder that this strategy is so effective. Even Boss Wei in “Chi Le Chuan” knew that there was a popular koi girl named Yang Chaoyue on “Produce 101”. She was so silly and cute, and the crew even had two of her male fans show up to canvass for votes for her.

A few days ago, it was the female fans of boy bands such as Kun who were canvassing for votes, and now it is the male fans of girl bands such as Yang Chaoyue who are canvassing for votes.

This also indirectly illustrates the popularity of idol programs at the current stage. As PPTV is the first to benefit from it, its membership income and advertising fees are only small profits, and the real big money comes from the stock market.

With the help of this popular variety show and other hot projects, PPTV has been flourishing in the current hot stock market. As of May, its market value has approached US$5 billion, ranking among the top domestic Internet companies listed on the US stock market.

The increase was so rapid and fierce that Boss Wei couldn't hide it, so the more he tried to keep a low profile, the richer he became.

What makes him even more uncomfortable is that in early April, Bilibili successfully went public in the United States, and its market value now exceeds US$4 billion.

Even though Wei Yang had made certain arrangements beforehand, the shares of Bilibili he held still made his wealth increase significantly.

In addition to Bilibili, Pinduoduo is also clamoring to go public in a few months.

Pinduoduo's current valuation is no less than US$250 billion, and the outside world is very optimistic about its prospects. Although Wei Yang does not hold many shares in Pinduoduo, only in the single digits, but at this scale, its value easily exceeds tens of billions of yuan.

In addition, Wei Yang also has shares in two companies that are listed or preparing to be listed, but they are relatively inconspicuous.

Really, Boss Wei is almost worried to death now.

He can make money even when lying down. He has finally hidden some wealth, but his other assets have skyrocketed again. All his businesses are thriving. No one believes him when he says he is losing money. Xiao Ma Ge and Boss Xu who are ranked below him are not strong enough. Wei Yang can't get out of this position even if he doesn't want to be the richest man.

Basically, there are no surprises. In the upcoming mid-year inventory of 2018, Boss Wei will still remain the richest man, and he may even move up on the global list.

Wei Yang now misses Lao Jia in the United States.

If LeTV was still there, with Accountant Jia's abilities, he might be able to save it from the quagmire.

...

However, Boss Wei did not just worry about household chores and making money. After entering May, he finally had some fun.

In May, Huayi and Feng Kuzi officially announced that "Cell Phone 5" would start filming soon, basically gathering the original cast. The only change was that the female lead was changed from Fan Xiaopang to Li Bingbing.

It must be mentioned that in his previous life, host Cui criticized "Cell Phone 2", mainly targeting director Feng Kuzi and screenwriter Liu Qingyun.

The two sides became enemies because of the movie "Cell Phone". The prototype of the male protagonist was Cui. It is said that Feng and Liu had obtained Cui's consent at the time, but they did not tell Cui that the male protagonist in the movie had a mistress or even involved workplace sexual transactions.

Cui was struggling with this problem at the time and was so stressed that he suffered from depression. In Cui's view, this movie was just a scapegoat.

From then on, the two sides had a grudge. When the news of "Cell Phone 2" came out, it was said that Cui also found the screenwriter Liu Qingyun, and said that it was someone else's story, but then it was discovered that it was still the male lead of the first "Cell Phone", Yan Shouyi.

Since then, Cui has completely turned evil and prepared all kinds of explosive materials to deal with the crew of "Cell Phone 2".

This had nothing to do with Fan Xiaopang, but she just happened to be a bad-mouthed person and jumped out. Cui saw this as a provocation, and since she had a lot of handles on her, she became the chicken to be killed to scare the monkeys.

But in this time and space, Fan Xiaopang did not get involved in "Cell Phone 2", and even because he and Feng became enemies, he was considered Cui's "ally" to a certain extent.

Although Li Bingbing took over the role of Fan Xiaopang, she was not as jumpy as Fan Xiaopang.

In addition, his sister and agent Li Xue is a powerful figure, which means that although Li Bingbing's ass is not clean, it is not fatal or related to "Cell Phone 2".

So, when it came to the "Cell Phone 2" incident in this time and space, Cui immediately directed his criticism at Feng and Liu, as well as Huayi behind them.

"Tsk, tsk, that's so cruel."

Boss Wei was flipping through Cui's Weibo and couldn't help but sigh repeatedly, saying that the [Yin-Yang Contract] was late but it arrived.

But this time it’s not a film remuneration contract, but an acquisition.

What is this agreement? Around 2015, Huayi Brothers acquired the shares of Feng Kuzi's company for more than 10 billion yuan and signed a certain gambling agreement.

This kind of operation is actually very common in the circle. To put it bluntly, it is the "selling body money" of directors and actors. In the past, it was taken by individuals, but now it is sold by companies.

This allows for some tax refunds and makes the termination of many partnerships more convenient.

However, the acquisition contract between Huayi and Feng Kuazi appears normal on the surface, but in fact there is also a supplementary agreement, which is the so-called secret contract.

The things involved here are very interesting. I won’t go into the specific terms, but it’s all about harming the public interest and benefiting oneself.

But if they were beaten to death, Feng Kuazi and the Wang brothers would be in big trouble.

You should know that Huayi is a listed company. There is an article in the Criminal Law called "Crime of Damaging the Interests of Listed Companies", and if it is serious, the offender may be sentenced.

In addition, Cui also exposed that Feng Kuazi and Huayi artists were suspected of tax evasion.

However, the evidence in this regard is not very sufficient, but it has also been a hot topic.

Many Huayi artists were in a panic, and the current top star Yang Tianbao even sent a lawyer's letter, but it had little effect and seemed like a cover-up.

But no matter what, Feng Kuazi and Huayi have really suffered a big setback this time, and they will suffer a lot if they don't die.

Boss Wei sighed when he saw the end of Huayi, and then ordered his men to beat the fallen dog with all their might.

God knows how long he has been waiting for this day. The time for counterattack has finally come. If Boss Wei doesn't give it his all, how can he be worthy of all the grudges and hatreds over the years?

Wei Yang didn't dare to say that he could take advantage of the opportunity to destroy Huayi in one fell swoop.

After all, many things in the Beijing circle are very complicated. The Wang brothers have been running the business for more than 20 years. They are not the easiest to deal with. If things really don’t work out, they can just abandon the car to save the driver. Vice presidents, accountants, and temporary workers can all take the blame.

But if you can't kill it, then just help peel off a few more layers of skin. Summer is coming soon, so it's cool.

Wei Yang was somewhat moved by himself. Everyone who came would praise him, saying that Boss Wei was really kind...
