Who are you calling powerful?.

Chapter 701: Fatty Fan with many talented people
“We should call on filmmakers across the country to improve the quality of films, enrich the types of films, make more excellent films reach the audience, and promote the development of China’s film industry…”

"Chinese films should continue to go deep into people's lives, take root in the people, create with heart, effort, emotion and hard work, tell good Chinese stories, and promote our Chinese culture to the world..."

That evening, the "News Link" also reported the news of the Film Association's change of leadership.

As the new chairman of the Film Association, Wei Yang's subsequent personal interview was excerpted and published in the news.

Fat Fan watched the show with great interest and even asked his son to recognize the father on TV. Boss Wei, on the other hand, was relatively calm.

Although he has not appeared on the "News Link" many times, it has happened more than once or twice, and it is no longer new to him.

Moreover, whether or not to appear on this program is really just that, and it won't do much to increase influence and fame, especially in this era, when it comes to how many people can watch the live broadcast on TV.

So, this is more of an official and mainstream recognition.

Many artists and celebrities pursue this, but Boss Wei has long since left this level.

After all, he had attended two conferences and had been to the cabinet more than once. He had just been appointed as the chairman of the Film Association. His other official and semi-official titles added up to a few hundred words. In the future, during various official activities, Wei Yang might appear frequently in the "News Link".

Compared with the meaningless news briefs of several tens of seconds, Wei Yang is more concerned about the exclusive interviews released by the news channel later, which contain a lot of information.

Nowadays, fewer people watch TV, and even fewer watch TV news, so a lot of news is posted online simultaneously.

Sure enough, not long after that, Wei Yang came across an exclusive interview with him as the chairman of the Film Association.

The entire interview lasted more than 40 minutes, and inevitably some official jargon was mentioned, but it still covered many topics that netizens are most concerned about.

"One of our subsequent work focuses is to vigorously support film awards such as the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards to promote film development, promote film cultural exchanges, and commend outstanding film works and talents."

“In the future, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards should not only be based on professionalism and audience popularity, but also build a platform for healthy exchanges between filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, while adhering to the correct values.

"The Golden Rooster holds its head high, and a hundred flowers bloom, creating a true hall of highest honor for the Chinese film industry.

"..."

Every sentence is about the Golden Rooster, and no one mentions the Golden Horse Awards, but every sentence feels like it is related to the Golden Horse Awards.

As expected by some people, after it was revealed that Boss Wei would serve as the new chairman of the Film Association, many people on platforms such as Zhihu Tieba began to speculate on Wei Yang's next move.

The official promoted Boss Wei to a higher position, obviously because they were satisfied with his performance at the Golden Horse Awards.

Naturally, after Wei Yang came to power, he was bound to make some changes to the Golden Horse Awards.

Many people speculated that he would continue to fire, and many people speculated that he would announce that the Film Association would ban the Golden Horse Awards, but most smart people believed that he would start with the Golden Rooster Awards.

At present, it seems that Wei Yang did not continue to fire, which is understandable. After all, people with different identities should speak cautiously.

It is understandable that the Golden Horse Awards were not banned. After all, the impact on all aspects is too great, and the time is still short, so we cannot make a rash decision. Maybe it is still in the making.

Everyone has guessed correctly that the Golden Rooster Awards will be supported. If you want to do something ruthless to the Golden Horse Awards, you have to uproot it.

The most effective way is to ban it. Mainland films and artists are not allowed to participate in the awards, and the Golden Horse Awards will be abolished.

The next best thing is to let other awards replace it. The Golden Horse Awards is great because it awards the top Chinese-language film awards. If the top Chinese-language film award is replaced by another award, its value and influence will be greatly reduced.

In fact, the effect of these two moves is slightly worse when used alone.

The former may make some people miss the glory of the Golden Horse Awards, while the latter lacks lethality and can easily lead to a tug-of-war. When the two are used together, the power of 1+1 is greater than 3.

But no matter what, having a solution is better than letting the Golden Horse Awards remain safe and sound. Besides, there is still a chance of banning it, and it is also a good thing for Chinese-language films.

Wei Yang flipped through the comments and found that there were a lot of positive comments about his role as chairman of the Film Association.

He has always been popular with the public, and his performance at the Golden Horse Awards won them many hearts. His status and achievements are also impeccable, so there is really no opposition or controversy about his candidacy as chairman of the Film Association. At most, people are worried that he is too young to compete with those old hands.

However, Boss Wei remained calm about the concerns of the outside world.

It is indeed difficult for a film association chairman to fight against a deep-rooted interest group, but a film association chairman who is an entertainment industry overlord and supported by the higher-ups is another matter.

Boss Wei is rich and powerful, and he also occupies the righteous position. This group of people is not a monolithic entity, so they have too many cards to play.

After all, those people sound powerful, but most of them are just veteran actors, veteran behind-the-scenes workers and veteran critics.

Perhaps they should not be underestimated, but there is no need to exaggerate their influence too much.

Apart from anything else, Boss Wei can win over a group of non-profit distributors to cheer for him by spending some money every year to organize some activities or finding an excuse to hire some consultants.

Even if people are not moved by money, as long as Wei Yang does good things, there will be people who will stand up and support him.

Even the academic schools can be ganged up to fight against each other. If Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama are not convinced, then they will bring up the Communication University of China and the PLA Art Center. They are all top art schools. Who doesn't have some background? Boss Wei hinted that these schools are probably more aggressive than anyone else.

Therefore, Wei Yang is not worried about those so-called old hands. As long as the higher-ups don't interfere, he has the final say in the Film Association.

Uh……

Wei Yang shook his head. It was really too arrogant. We cannot apply the habits of big bosses in private enterprises to the Film Association. We must understand democracy and respect old comrades.

While I was reflecting, Fat Fan, who had just finished watching TV, had already started feeding his child.

Wei Sanshao, who just celebrated his first birthday, has now started to reduce the amount of milk he drinks and eat some complementary foods.

However, this child is a bit picky about food. He won’t eat one-third of the food in the baby meals prepared for him every day, and he won’t even touch some of the food that has mixed smells.

What’s even more amazing is that this little guy never eats rice. At first, we thought he was allergic to rice because he would spit out rice and also dry heave.

But later it was discovered that the child either was allergic or simply didn't like eating rice.

He can drink rice soup, eat rice noodles, and even a few bites of rice porridge made from the same method, but he will never touch rice or rice balls. He will vomit if he eats them.

A natural northerner!

Wei Yang didn't care about this at first. In fact, he didn't like eating rice since he was a child. He ate rice very rarely before going to college. It was only when he came to the south to study and work that he corrected his living habits due to the influence of the environment.

But even so, Wei Yang still prefers pasta, and his attitude towards rice is just a staple food to fill his stomach.

So he was understanding of Young Master Wei's refusal to eat rice, but Fat Fan couldn't stand this bad boy's bad habits.

She always felt that the problem of being picky about food should not be corrected, but at least it should be corrected to some extent. Being overly picky about food can lead to incomplete nutrient absorption and is not a good habit.

Wei Yang generally supported it because what Fan Xiaopang said made sense.

If you don't eat rice, you can use pasta instead, which will not affect your starch intake. However, it is not good to be fond of sweets and not like to eat vegetables. It is a pity for a good-looking child to grow up to be a fat boy...

Therefore, every day, the mother and daughter would fight over meals, and it was always very lively. Wei Yang really liked his youngest son being angry, whether he was angry and turned into a petty person or he was aggrieved and had tears in his eyes, it was very interesting.

Every time this happened, even Fan Xiaopang, who was competing with him, couldn't help but secretly take pictures with his mobile phone. Later, he had someone make it into an emoticon package and sent it when chatting with Wei Yang.

Liu Shishi also has this habit, which makes Wei Yang particularly cautious when sending child emoticons when chatting with them, for fear of sending them to the wrong person.

But today, perhaps Young Master Wei was in a hurry to play with his toys, or he was hungry, so he didn't confront his mother for too long. He just ate obediently with a frown on his brow.

Fatty Fan proudly put his hands on his hips and said, "You want to fight with me? Don't you even know who gave birth to you?"

Wei Yang shook his head. Sometimes, when he saw the "childishness" that Fan Xiaopang had become because of the kids, it was hard to imagine that they were super goddesses who were so popular in the outside world.

"By the way, I'm going back to my mother's house tomorrow. Are you free? If you are free, you can stay at home and take care of the kids."

Fat Fan remembered something and asked Wei Yang about it. Actually, there are confinement nannies to take care of children. This statement sounded more like asking Wei Yang to stay in Beijing for a few more days.

Wei Yang did not expose it. It happened that he had just become the chairman of the Film Association and did have some chores to handle. If he stayed for a few more days, he could also handle them in Shanghai.

"Do you want me to go back with you? I haven't seen your parents for a long time."

"Forget it, maybe next time."

Fatty Fan smiled oddly: "This time it's Chengcheng who's participating in the variety show, and I'm going home to record the show."

"Go home and record it. Oh, it's that kind of reality show, right?"

Wei Yang was a little confused at first, but then he reacted.

It's not surprising. With Fan Chengcheng's current ability, he can't break into the film and television industry, or if he does, he might perform poorly and be ridiculed. So, while he is pursuing the route of an idol boy group singer under Lehua's arrangement, the other route is to enter the variety show industry.

It is actually easier for celebrities to gain fans and whitewash themselves through daily reality shows, which is very suitable for someone like Fan Chengcheng who is on the rise and is very controversial.

Since her younger brother is on a reality show, it is natural for her as the older sister Fan Xiaopang to go and help out.

I guess when the director team chose Fan Chengcheng, they were already thinking about Fan Xiaopang and Wei Sanshao, especially Wei Sanshao. If he makes his variety show debut, it will instantly become a hit.

It’s a pity that Fan Chengcheng doesn’t have the face to do so. He can only invite his sister, not his nephew, let alone his brother-in-law.

"The intentions of this program crew are quite malicious. Which platform are you from? Be careful next time and don't get tricked."

Wei Yang reminded him, and Fatty Fan's expression became even weirder: "You don't know? The show "My Boy" produced by PPTV?"

"what?"

Wei Yang was stunned for a moment, then recovered as before: "The idea is still good, but the heart is a little dirty, but you and Cheng Cheng don't have to worry, if you have any problems, communicate directly with the director and cut it if necessary."

Wei Yang had heard of the project "My Boy".

There are a few variety shows led by PPTV itself, and for this purpose it even snatched the Hunan TV station through Korean copyright. The program features a combination of observation + family + reality show and many other elements, and its prospects are still very promising.

However, although Wei Yang knew about this project, he was not very clear about how the variety show was operated and which guests were invited.

It’s not that Wei Yang doesn’t value his own project, but there are too many variety shows on Blue Whale + PPTV now.

Not only do they produce their own variety shows, they also purchase variety shows from other companies and TV stations. Every year, at least dozens of programs, large and small, are launched. Now they like to produce some short variety shows and derivative variety shows, so the number of variety shows is even greater.

Boss Wei is not only concerned about variety shows, but other business segments such as film and television, artists, and management have also taken up some of his attention.

Not to mention that Mr. Wei has more than one company, and a lot of his energy is involved in other aspects such as family, leisure, official work, etc.

Therefore, even for some ace projects, their presence in Boss Wei's office depends to some extent on luck.

The fact that "My Boy" was able to be listed by Boss Wei is already considered an upper-middle treatment.

Fan Xiaopang and Fan Chengcheng didn’t say anything, and unless Wei Yang saw the related news or videos, he might not even know about the show after it was over.

"Aren't you going to take a look?"

Fat Fan curled his lips. It was a pity that last time Wei Yang had tricked Fan Chengcheng into saying that his brother-in-law was always paying attention to him, which made the child very excited. It turned out that this was how he paid attention.

"Forget it. I've been on such a shaky basis with the production crew, so I'd better not go and cause more trouble. Fatty Yu invited me to have tea before, so I just wanted to talk to him. This guy is well-known in the Beijing circle, so I'll go find him to find out more."

"Just drink tea honestly, don't get involved with him. This old fat man is not a good person."

"How to say?"

Wei Yang was a little confused. He remembered that Fatty Fan and Fatty Yu had no grudge against each other, so why was his tone so aggressive?

"You don't know, he was after my artists and was caught by people from my company."

"Who?"

Wei Yang suddenly became alert, but before Fatty Fan could speak, he had figured out what was going on.

"Jiang Shuying?"

Fatty Fan's eyes widened: "How did you know?"

"Have heard a little bit."

In fact, it was because he read the gossip in later generations. It was rumored that Jiang later gave birth to a child for Fatty Yu, and that Fatty Yu's Peacock Princess was also reported to have divorced him.

Tsk tsk, if Jiang really succeeds in getting promoted in the future, plus Wang Ou who wrote the luminous script, Fatty Fan will have quite a lot of talented people under his command…

However, regarding the affairs of these two, neither Wei Yang nor Fan Xiaopang have the confidence to comment on anything.

Anyway, Boss Wei doesn't have the leisure time to do that and just wants to watch the fun.

Fan Xiaopang was relatively worse off.

After all, he is her own artist, and she still has some feelings for him. She thinks Fatty Yu is not a good match for him, so she hopes Jiang can stop.

In addition, from the perspective of interests, as Jiang Shuying's boss, Fan Xiaopang feels that his behavior has a high risk of backlash, and if he chooses to jump to Bona, the artist he has cultivated with great difficulty will be gone, which will be a huge loss for the company.

So both publicly and privately, Fan Xiaopang didn't want to see Jiang and Fatty Yu getting too close.

Wei Yang was also warned to keep his distance, for fear that he would be led astray by Fatty Yu.

Fatty Yu: ???

Think about it carefully, who between us can lead the other astray?
