Who are you calling powerful?.

Chapter 700 Chairman Wei, I am Xiao Fan, please take care of me

As expected by Wei Yang, the Golden Horse Awards remained silent without any response, let alone any explanation, apology or related handling.

To some extent, this is also a good thing. It has greatly catalyzed public opinion and added fuel to the already angry mood in the mainland.

Originally, many relevant departments and persons in charge were hesitant about this matter, and there were even other voices from above.

A small move can affect the entire body. It may be a small matter, but the impact is great, and there are many things that need to be considered behind it.

After all, even if the general direction changes, everyone needs time to adapt, and the right degree and timing must be tested slowly, otherwise it is easy to slide from one extreme to another.

The attitude of the Golden Horse Awards has indeed helped many people make their choices.

Sometimes, if you are soft, even just a little bit, it is a stepping stone and there is room for maneuver.

But if you are not soft at all, and even refuse to take the ladder offered to you, that is another matter.

All Taiwanese artists who want to develop in the Mainland, if they actively stand on the side and cooperate, will be our people, and it is not without opportunities to be a role model.

On the contrary, if one's stance in these activities is ambiguous, then the mainland's attitude will also be ambiguous, and one's career prospects will also become unclear.

The most direct manifestation is that Taiwanese artists who actively forwarded Weibo and accepted interviews from several official media appeared on major satellite TV stations' New Year's Eve parties as New Year's Day approached, and some even participated in CCTV's New Year's Day party.

Those who did not express their opinions on Weibo, and ignored the reminders, did not receive any invitations to any evening parties from any TV stations or Internet platforms.

If the two parties have reached a cooperation agreement before this, it will be directly abandoned.

And the party is just the first step. Other platforms don’t know, but PPTV has already started adding people to the blacklist crazily.

Amidst all this turmoil, Boss Wei, who was originally the center of another topic, has always kept a low profile. Apart from cooperating with official media to repost his Weibo posts twice, he has completely gone into invisible mode.

Netizens will naturally not forget Wei Yang, the hero who stood up at the critical moment.

His video at the Golden Horse Awards went viral on TikTok, Bilibili, Weibo and other platforms, and even became a little popular on the Internet, with all kinds of discussions about this domineering young richest man.
It is precisely because of this that, in the face of such a turbulent tide, Wei Yang remained silent, which inevitably led to a lot of speculation and some conspiracy theories.

For example, Wei Yang's voice infringed upon the interests of some people and departments, so he was suppressed and had to keep quiet and avoid the limelight, etc.

There are quite a few people who believe in this conspiracy theory. Many people on Douyin, Zhihu, and Tieba have spoken up for him, and some have even gone to the official platform to leave messages and petition for an end to the persecution.

Boss Wei was naturally at a loss for words about this and had no intention of clarifying it.

Firstly, he may be led to believe that he was forced to clarify the matter under pressure. In the face of these rumors, sometimes there is no need to pay attention to them, so as not to fall into the trap of self-proof.

Secondly, there is really no need for this. There is no need for clarification, and these rumors will be refuted immediately.

...

In late December, the 12th National Congress of the China Film Association was held in Beijing.

Jiuzhang Villa, Cloakroom
Wei Yang gave up the high-end suit and windbreaker that Fan Xiaopang had carefully selected: "I'm going to a meeting, not to walk the red carpet, why should I dress so brightly and beautifully?"

Fan Xiaopang thought for a while, then took out a Zhongshan suit with a small red flag pinned on his chest. Wei Yang pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"Too deliberate, low-key and ordinary, don't put on value."

Fan Xiaopang was a little stumped, and he tried out a few more sets of clothes. Two of them looked good, but Wei Yang was cautious and checked the prices.

Very good, one set is 4.8 and one set is 15!
This price is actually nothing compared to Boss Wei’s wealth, and it’s even a bit “shabby”, but the occasion is special after all, and Wei Yang doesn’t want to be on the hot search because of the high-priced clothes.

So after much picking and choosing, I finally chose a slightly old-fashioned suit jacket, paired with pants and shoes, and the whole thing cost less than 5000 yuan.

This price is already very high for ordinary people, but Boss Wei really can't find any other clothes that are both suitable and cheap.

The main reason is that all the clothes Wei Yang wears in Beijing were bought by Fan Xiaopang, and he was only responsible for wearing them. This woman has high standards and is rich, and doesn't like to buy cheap goods. After looking around, Wei Yang has not seen many pieces that cost less than four figures.

After changing his clothes, Wei Yang picked and chose among watches again, and finally exchanged them with the driver, for a mechanical watch worth about 3000 yuan.

There's no way. Fan Xiaopang doesn't have many watches, less than ten in total, and none of them is worth less than 20.

Finally, after changing his clothes, Wei Yang looked at himself in the large standing mirror in the cloakroom.

"Don't say it, it feels a bit like being in the system."

Fatty Fan watched from the side, his eyes slightly bright, and gestured: "It would be even better if he had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He would immediately look like a corrupt official, serious during the day and bullying his female subordinates at night..."

Wei Yang pinched her face to stop her from thinking: "What are you thinking about?"

However, he also had to admit that from a styling perspective, it does feel better to wear glasses, and wide frames are best, as they make one look calm and steady.

But again, he is going to a meeting, not to a talent show, so don't make it too special, just be natural.

Wei Yang packed up and walked out of the cloakroom, but found that Fat Fan did not follow him. Instead, he also started changing his clothes.

Fan Xiaopang took out a white knitted women's suit and put it on, then tied his hair into a ponytail and put on large rimless glasses. He didn't put on any makeup, but just did some simple treatments, looking refreshed and confident.

“You…what are you doing?”

Wei Yang was a little surprised and doubtful. Fan Xiaopang smiled reservedly and stretched out his white and tender hand.

"Hello, Chairman Wei. I am Xiao Fan, a member of the Film Association. This is my first time attending a national conference. Please take care of me."

Wei Yang suddenly realized and couldn't help but pat his forehead.

He was completely confused by his first impression that Fan Xiaopang had already failed in his previous life. In addition, Fan usually did not mention this, so he actually overlooked the fact that Fan Xiaopang was so famous and must be a member of the Film Association.

Fan Xiaopang is not interested in this and does not hold any position in the Film Association. He is basically just a mascot who is there to do nothing.

Therefore, Wei Yang had attended several Film Association meetings before, but he had never run into Fan Xiaopang. It was not until the national conference held every five years, and at the special moment when Boss Wei took office, that Fan Xiaopang took the rare opportunity to attend the meeting. Wei Yang then noticed that she was also a member of the Film Association.

Goodness, it’s a good thing she was able to keep it to herself when she found out that Wei Yang had taken the position. I’m afraid she had been holding it in and waiting for this moment.

But you have to say, calling Boss Wei "Chairman Wei" really makes him feel good.

Tsk tsk, no wonder this woman was talking about a corrupt official bullying her female subordinates. There is something else behind her words...

As the meeting was approaching, Wei Yang did not care too much. He planned to have a special meeting with her after he was done with his work to teach her how to respect her superiors. Although there was one more person going to the meeting, the two of them did not go the same way. After all, they still had to avoid suspicion.

Wei Yang left first in an Audi A6. As an ordinary member, Fan Xiaopang didn't have to worry about anything, but considering that Boss Wei was keeping a low profile for once, he called and asked for a nanny car from Bingyang Company.

The two arrived at the venue one after the other, and were busy with their own things.

Boss Wei greeted the propaganda department, several bigwigs from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and the previous presidium, and also had to accept interviews from several official media.

Fan Xiaopang felt much more relaxed. He found his seat, put his things down, and started chatting with his acquaintances.

The arrangement of the venue was quite considerate. Senior veterans sat together, people within the system sat together, and most of the celebrities, unless they had their own units and positions, also sat together.

For example, sitting next to Fan Xiaopang is Zhang Ziyi, on the other side is Huang Xiaoming, and further out are Bai Baihe and Song Jia, then Zhou Gongzi and Deng Chao, and Da Mimi is also there, but she is a little far away.

Some of them are ordinary members, and some are about to be elected as directors.

As for Wu Jing, Huang Bo and other designated vice-chairmen, their seats were closer to the front than theirs, either in the first row or the second row.

Fan Xiaopang knew that Wei Yang was sure to take the position and that he had nothing to worry about, so he was in a very calm mood.

Others had a clear idea of ​​the situation and were emotionally stable; some were nervous but not obsessed with it and remained calm; some were not sure whether they could get promoted but were concerned about it and were worried about the outcome; a few simply went to Fat Fan to ask for information.

The fact that Wei Yang has been appointed as the head of the Film Association is still kept secret, and not many people know about it.

But given his identity, the outside world generally believes that his position will definitely not be low. It is hard to say whether there is any inside story in this change of term as vice chairman, so naturally we have to ask.

Fat Fan was very skilled at playing dumb. I wasn’t familiar with him and didn’t know anything about him.

Several people were turned away one after another. The others realized that they couldn't ask any questions and didn't come to harass them. Fat Fan had some peace and quiet to chat with Huang Xiaoming.

God has mercy on him, among all these female stars, the one Fan Xiaopang has the best relationship with is actually a man named Huang Xiaoming.

International star Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Yimou don't like each other, and they are not very harmonious with Zhou Gongzi. Bai Baihe has too much Huayi influence and she doesn't want to care about her, and she is really not familiar with Song Jia.

As for Huang Xiaoming, not only had they worked together before, but Huang has always been the type who is good at networking and has a good relationship with everyone. They even lived in the same community in their early years. When Huang got married, Fan himself did not go but gave a gift.

It is worth mentioning that what Fan Xiaopang and Huang Xiaoming talked about was not major events in the circle or topics related to the meeting, but parenting.

It’s not surprising. One is a new mother and the other is a new father. How could they not talk about their children?

Young Master Wei was born at the end of 2017. Coincidentally, Huang Xiaoming and Yang Tianbao’s son Xiao Haimian was also born in 2017, but in January. He is almost two years old now.

It can be seen that Huang Xiaoming has a good relationship with his son. While chatting, he even showed photos of his child.

This time she fell into Fan Xiaopang's hands. She took advantage of the situation and took out her mobile phone and clicked on the photo of her baby son.

"What a beautiful child."

Little Song Jia blurted out that Young Master Wei's looks are not to be underestimated, with fair skin and delicate eyebrows and eyes. In addition, the photos were carefully selected by Fan Xiaopang, and the angles of his expressions are very appropriate. He looks soft, cute and adorable, which can simply melt people's hearts.

Huang Xiaoming's son actually looks pretty good, but when compared to Wei Sanshao, he suddenly pales in comparison.

Song Jia and Zhou Gongzi both have no children. When they saw the photos, they were generous with their praises. However, those who have children, such as Zhang Ziyi and Bai Baihe, seemed a little introverted.

It’s not comparable, it’s really not comparable!

Huang Xiaoming was hit the hardest. He was quite confident about the appearance of his child, otherwise he would not have shown it off so proudly. He did not expect to be hit hard.

However, he was convinced of his defeat. He didn't dare to say that Young Master Wei was the best-looking child he had ever seen, but he was definitely one of them.

Considering his father's identity, as long as this kid doesn't grow up ugly, he will be the dream boy for many women when he grows up.

Really, it’s a good thing that he has a son. If it was a daughter, Huang Xiaoming would have been shameless enough to ask about the child marriage.

However, Huang Xiaoming did not ask, but Zhang Ziyi smiled and invited Fan Xiaopang to bring the children to her house when he is free, saying that her daughter loves playing with children the most.

Besides, the two of them are neighbors, and she also lives in Jiuzhang Villa.

Fatty Fan smiled politely but didn’t respond. It was so damn unlucky. If I had known, I would have moved to Xinghewan and never come back…

After a round of greetings, it was finally time for the meeting. The conference lasts for two days. It opens today and mainly discusses various related topics. It closes tomorrow and the election will be held.

Although the highlight is tomorrow, everyone is quite serious about it.

Many people stood up to speak after taking notes, even Fatty Fan, who had been slacking off, stood up and offered some suggestions.

You have to be serious, because CCTV's cameras are filming all the time. The Six Princesses of the Movie Channel has also prepared a series of special reports on this event. After the meeting, many celebrities including Fan Xiaopang were intercepted by reporters for interviews.

The next day, the conference continued with voting in the afternoon.

After "fierce competition", a new presidium of filmmakers emerged. Wei Yang was elected chairman with a high vote, and Chen Daoming, Huang Bo, Yu Pangzi, Shanghai Theatre Academy Ren Dong, Cheng Long, Wu Jing and others served as vice-chairmen.

This result was beyond many people's expectations. It was not that Wei Yang was not qualified, but no one expected him to be promoted directly at such a young age.

You know, he is only thirty-one years old!

Not to mention the vice chairman and the director, even among the members he is considered to be relatively young. The young are to be feared. This is true.

Wei Yang was the first to bow to express his gratitude to the audience. After delivering his inaugural speech, he shook hands and exchanged views with the leaders and members of the presidium one by one.

Among them, the handshake with Chen Daoming took a little longer: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry."

Chen Daoming obviously knew the inside story. He has been relatively calm these past two days, and seems to be indifferent to worldly matters. He just shook his head when he heard this.

"No need to say this, you are more suitable for this position than me."

When the other vice chairmen came over, Chen Daoming had the confidence to compete with them. However, facing the monster Wei Yang, he had almost no confidence to compete with him except for his age and qualifications.

In fact, after such an incident, Wei Yang was promoted directly, and he felt relieved.

Rather than being a puppet with a lack of confidence and trembling with fear, it is better to simply give up the throne and be a good deputy. At least you can sleep soundly...
