Chapter 715: Being a boss is like being a scumbag, PUA and green tea
In early March, "The Wandering Earth" had been released for nearly 3 days and broke the 50 billion box office mark, becoming the second Chinese-language film with a box office of over 2 billion after "Wolf Warrior 50".

Director Guo Fan became famous overnight, and Wu Jing was hailed as the leading actor in two movies with a box office of over 50 billion yuan.

Boss Wei has been dominating the film industry for so many years and has finally met his rival. His title of "Box Office King" is in jeopardy.

However, Wu Jing himself is very humble. When he was interviewed by CCTV's Sixth Princess, he said that he was just lucky.

"The success of Wolf Warrior 2 is multifaceted and accidental. It was the times and all the audiences that made it happen."

"What's great about The Wandering Earth is the movie itself. If someone else played Liu Peiqiang, the box office would still be the same. I just happened to play in a movie that was destined to be a big hit."

"..."

There is some truth in this, but it is also a bit biased.

The success of these two films cannot be attributed entirely to Wu Jing, but he did play an important role.

Leaving aside "Wolf Warrior 2", "The Wandering Earth" mainly relied on him for promotion in the early stages. Even though its reputation exploded later, a considerable number of viewers came for him.

Although Wu Jing is "hated to the core" by many people, his box office appeal and audience popularity are definitely in the top tier of the current Chinese-language film industry, which is undisputed.

"The Wandering Earth" is still in theaters, but its staying power is already very weak.

In fact, if it weren't for Blue Whale's investment of various resources and the crew's hard work in breaking through the 50 billion mark in one breath and finally holding on, I'm afraid the momentum would have collapsed in the past few days.

Now that the goal has been achieved, I can no longer maintain my composure. The returns are not proportional, and further investment of resources would be a sheer waste.

Therefore, it is estimated that the film can earn 1 million to 2 million yuan in scattered revenue in the future, or maybe a little more, and then "The Wandering Earth" will be finished.

Taking this situation into consideration, Blue Whale simply did not wait for "The Wandering Earth" to be released, and took advantage of the popularity of the movie breaking through 50 billion to hold a celebration party in Shanghai.

Boss Wei, who had not yet joined the crew of "Knowing Your Destiny", showed up in person and took directors Guo Fan and Wu Jing with him, and the three of them smashed the ice sculpture that symbolized [50 billion].

This photo was also quickly taken by Blue Whale and posted on the Internet and the company's official website.

At the same time, he did not forget to @ the photos of the celebration banquet when "Wolf Warrior 2" was released that year, and Wei Yang and Wu Jing were still there.

Since the rise of the Chinese-language film market, there have been only two celebrations of a 50 billion yuan achievement, both hosted by Blue Whale.

What's more, there were four celebration banquets worth 30 billion yuan, namely "The Mermaid", "Operation Red Sea", "Dying to Survive" and "Detective Chinatown ", all of which were hosted by Blue Whale, and Boss Wei was in the C position to knock on the ice.

Some netizens put these photos together, and the bottom one is the photo of him being elected chairman of the Film Association.

It is said that Boss Wei is not the half of the Chinese film industry, but the Megatron of Chinese films...

Wei Megatron Yang was in a good mood at this time.

"The Wandering Earth" had a higher box office than its previous film, breaking the 50 billion mark in one fell swoop, proving the positive role of Blue Whale.

At the same time, the box office share of the movie, plus other miscellaneous income, will definitely exceed 20 billion.

Not only did Blue Whale make a fortune, but it also received countless soft benefits from "The Wandering Earth".

Just before the celebration banquet, Wei Yang had just accompanied the cabinet and heads of relevant units to visit the film industrial park in Island City. At today's celebration banquet, senior officials in charge of the Magic City also attended in person to offer congratulations.

When Wei Yang came down from the stage, he was mainly responsible for dealing with these people.

Fortunately, due to their special identities, it was inconvenient for them to stay any longer. They chatted for a while, made their point, and then left. Wei Yang personally sent them to the door before returning to the banquet hall.

Just now, the leader was present so it was inconvenient to disturb him and no one dared to come over. But now that Boss Wei is alone, many people come up to talk to him.

"Boss Wei, you can't be partial to one and ignore the other. When will Xiao Han's celebration party for "Speeding Life" be held?"

Wang from Guangxian pulled Han Han over to tease him. As mentioned before, there are a total of two movies that Blue Whale participated in during this year's Spring Festival.

"The Wandering Earth" was the main producer, and "Speeding Life" was invested in jointly with Bona. Apart from Han Han's own company, it is the second largest producer.

This year's Spring Festival, "The Wandering Earth" is undoubtedly the big winner, but in fact, "Speeding Life" also performed quite well.

With the support of Blue Whale and Bona, the two films even had a certain degree of linkage and gave each other popularity. The box office of this film is currently close to 20 billion.

Shen Teng, who starred in this movie, plus the box office of another starring movie "Crazy Alien" released at the same time, was promoted to "Mr. 10 Billion Box Office" during this Spring Festival together with Huang Bo and Wu Jing.

Unfortunately, only Shen Teng came to show his support today, while Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang did not come.

Otherwise, if Wei Yang and his team took a photo together, they would become the most prestigious "Fifteen Billion Box Office Actor" in the Chinese film industry.

"Haha, President Xia and the others are already making arrangements. They want to see if "Speeding Life" has a chance to break 20 billion. Then the celebration banquet will be even better."

Although it is not as good as "The Wandering Earth", the box office data of "Speeding Life" is still very impressive and deserves a celebration banquet.

However, what Wei Yang did not specify was whether he would attend the celebration party for "Speeding Life".

Boss Wei is usually very busy, so not all project celebration parties can invite him to attend.

It was fine in the past few years, but in the past two years, as Boss Wei became richer and Blue Whale grew larger, Wei Yang did not show up at most of the celebration banquets for the 10 billion+ movie-level event.

Even Blue Whale may not hold a celebration party for this box office-level movie now.

Projects with a value of 15 billion+ and 20 billion+ are definitely better, but whether Wei Yang will come or not will also depend on his schedule and the specific circumstances of the project.

For example, Wei Yang did not attend the celebration parties for movies such as "Shameful Iron Fist", "Ex-Files 3", and "A Good Show" for some reason.

There are only projects with a value of more than 30 billion yuan, and Boss Wei has never missed one so far. No matter how busy he is, he will make time to participate.

This is the case with movies, and it is similar for variety shows, TV dramas, and online series, except that movies look at box office revenue, while they look at revenue from sponsorship, advertising, copyright fees, and other sources.

It seems more realistic and utilitarian, but it is also "fair" in a sense.

Whoever does a good job and creates more profits for the company will be praised by the boss, and he will be in the limelight and have the highest emotional value.

Of course, there are a few exceptions, such as "The Undocumented Crime" and "National Treasure", which are dramas and variety shows that focus on word-of-mouth.

Even if he doesn't make much money, but it brings other benefits to the company and the platform, Wei Yang will go to show his support when he has time.

Boss Wei coming over in person to congratulate is not only an honor, but also has other benefits. For example, he will promise to allocate certain resources to some of the main creators he admires, and sometimes he will give big red envelopes and expensive gifts, which can be regarded as an alternative form of rewarding merit.

Last time, he gave Wu Jing a big red envelope for "Wolf Warrior 2". This time, Guo Fan is a major contributor to "The Wandering Earth", and Boss Wei is also preparing to give him a surprise.

Although Guo Fan was not treated unfairly in terms of director's fees when filming "The Wandering Earth", Boss Wei made more than ten billion yuan after all, so he still had to win over this great contributor.

He was still counting on Guo Fan to help him film "The Wandering Earth 2". What if he didn't give him enough benefits and was abducted away by someone?
So, when Wei Yang found out that Guo Fan's current house was not very large and he was still paying off his mortgage, he asked the property management company under his name and asked them to give him a high-end house in Shanghai that they had not sold yet.

Director Guo just heard the news that Wei Yang arranged for him to transfer the ownership tomorrow, and he hasn't recovered yet.

Although he knew that Boss Wei was famous for his generosity, Director Guo was still stunned by a house in Shanghai with a great location, facilities and area.

Even Wu Jing felt a little jealous after knowing this.

Although the amount of red envelope Wei Yang gave him in Wolf Warriors 2 was not less than the value of this house, for some reason, he felt that it was not as good as Guo Fan’s. …

Although he was unlikely to attend the celebration party for "Speeding Life", after all, he made a lot of money from it, so Boss Wei still pulled Han Han aside to chat for a while.

Being a boss is like being a scumbag!
You can't neglect another wife just because one wife is beautiful, capable and raises children well.

She is your wife, she is pretty, and she raised your children well. Even if you value her more in your heart, you still have to coax her on the surface.

Not only do you have to coax her, you also have to use PUA to make her understand that if she wants to win Wei Yang's favor and get his attention, she has to work hard in the future, become beautiful and capable, and raise a good child.

To be honest, Boss Wei treats these people with more kindness than Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying...

Han Han is a smart man, and it is difficult to PUA him using ordinary tactics.

But Boss Wei was more skilled and experienced, and he made one cool move after another, while Han Han himself also had some mental problems.

He was indeed a little depressed during this Spring Festival. "Speeding Life" won him his best directorial achievement and its reputation was better than the original hit "Crazy Alien".

I thought it was the moment when he reached the peak of the industry, but in the end all the limelight was stolen by "The Wandering Earth".

Whether it is from the box office performance, word-of-mouth reviews, film concept, industry breakthrough and other meanings behind it, "The Wandering Earth" has defeated "Speeding Life" in all aspects.

And because Wei Yang did not act in or participate too much in "The Wandering Earth", director Guo Fan became a very rare director who was able to get rid of the shadow of Wei Yang's influence by supporting newcomers.

Among the many directors Wei Yang has worked with before, only Yan Fei and Peng Damo have made a name for themselves with Happy Twist.

Others such as Wen Muye and Xu Zheng are still trying to prove that they can still be successful without Wei Yang.

This also makes the various honors Guo Fan received in "The Wandering Earth" particularly valuable.

There is no doubt that in this "performance" that made Guo Fan a god, the genius director Ning Hao, the comedy king Stephen Chow and the new famous director Han Han all became supporting roles and foils.

This is something Han Han cannot accept. Although he doesn't talk much, he is actually very crazy inside.

He may not even be convinced by Wei Yang, let alone Guo Fan. Even if he is convinced, he is only convinced by his achievements in the film industry. He is not convinced by the profession of director itself.

Therefore, at this time, Wei Yang's PUA had touched his itch. Although George Han didn't say anything, he was already thinking about opening the book in his heart.

Boss Wei is such a smart man. He turned around and pulled Guo Fan to remind him worriedly.

Han Han is going to roll him up, so he should hurry up and release "The Wandering Earth 2" to avoid being destroyed by others.

It's so shameful to be overtaken by the defeated opponent!

As for a scumbag, he not only has to be proficient in PUA, but also has to learn how to be a green tea, sow discord, and profit from it, which are all common operations...

Of course, those who trick others will also be tricked. While Wei Yang is fooling others, there are also others who are trying to trick him.

"Director Wu, what is this?"

Wu'ershan has a beard but wears earrings, looking both masculine and feminine. Wei Yang subconsciously turns slightly to the side, which psychologically is an action that indicates a certain degree of defensiveness.

“Boss Wei, this is the main creator of our “Investiture of the Gods” crew: Na Ran, who plays Daji, Yu Shi, who plays Ji Fa, Chen Muchi, who plays Yin Shou, and Ci Sha, who plays Yang Jian…”

Wei Yang was not surprised to see Wu Ershan and the crew of "Fengshen" in "The Wandering Earth".

Because both groups were filming at the film and television base in the island city, which has the most advanced studios, indoor and outdoor real-scene bases, digital audio-visual centers, etc. in the country.

In the past two years, many Chinese-language special effects blockbusters have been shot there, including the two mentioned above, "The Great Wall", "Crazy Alien", "A Good Show", etc.

"Fengshen" and "The Wandering Earth" were produced in the same period, so they often visit each other and have a good relationship.

When "Fengshen" was released in the previous life, the behind-the-scenes footage of Wu Jing and Guo Fan's visit to the set was often used to gain popularity.

Now that "The Wandering Earth" has become a big hit, Wu Ershan also brought the crew to congratulate.

Although Wei Yang was not fond of him, Wu Ershan was very humble. Boss Wei always believed in not hitting someone who smiles at you, so he stopped and chatted with him for a few words.

As for introducing his actors, he didn't take it seriously. In such social occasions, many people brought people to show off in front of him.

However, it must be said that Wuershan is quite particular in this regard.

Generally speaking, when leading people to scan faces, only one or two people are brought along to highlight the key points. If there are too many people, the boss will not only be annoyed but also unable to remember.

Wuershan brought everyone with him, whether for the purpose of maintaining unity or for other purposes, and he was very kind to these newcomers.

“Is this girl Uyghur?”

Wei Yang glanced at Na Ran who played Daji. She was indeed pretty, but to say that she outshine Na Zha or beat Rou Ba would be a bit of an exaggeration.

"She is mixed-race, her father is Russian and her mother is Mongolian."

"Oh, Director Wu is from the same hometown."

Wei Yang seemed to be interested and asked the other actors one by one. Ji Fa was a Mongolian from Yu City, Yang Jian was a Yi from Cisha, Deng Chanyu was a Mongolian... Among the few brought today, only one Chen Muchi was Han Chinese, and he was from Xinjiang Province.

"Director Wu really likes fellow villagers and ethnic minority actors?"

Wu Ershan didn't expect Wei Yang to pay attention to this. He was a little stunned, but soon his expression changed.

"These actors have relatively fewer opportunities, and I have the ability to help them more."

"Oh, I see."

Wei Yang's smile disappeared. He looked at Wu Ershan deeply, responded with a few words indifferently, and turned away.

Wu Ershan clearly felt that Wei Yang's attitude had turned cold, and he couldn't help but feel a little headache.

He came here not only to congratulate "The Wandering Earth". The cost of "Fengshen" trilogy is too high, and now the business is a bit limited. He originally wanted to see if he could get in touch with Boss Wei this time and persuade him to invest.

Before he could even open his mouth, Wei Yang got to the point in just two or three sentences. Thinking of Boss Wei's questions and the look in his eyes just now, he felt a little tongue-tied.

It's obvious that Boss Wei already has an opinion of him, so how can he contact him to seek investment?
At this time, Wei Yang, who had already walked to the other side, saw Wuershan and others, and snorted coldly.

Wei Yang himself did not have any messy ideas, otherwise he would not have reused the two beauties from Xinjiang Province. Liu Shishi and Wu Jing were not Han people, so he could still do whatever he wanted.

But Boss Wei has no prejudice, and he won't tolerate others putting prejudice against him.

No matter how good or profitable "Fengshen" is, he will not cooperate with people like Wuershan.

Besides, this project is also precarious. Just among the pile I saw just now, several have collapsed.

Especially that Yu Shi, with all the big sister, big brother, second sister, second brother, third sister, and fourth sister, he played even more extravagantly than he did when he was young.

Apart from the issues of principle, he just didn't want to live in fear every day. The little money he earned was not enough to buy medicine to treat high blood pressure and heart disease...
