Chapter 718: The human touch is brought out by other capitalists

Compared with Zhao Liying, Wei Yang has fewer roles in the "Knowing" crew and more free time.

In April, Wei Yang temporarily left the group and came to Beijing to participate in this year's College Student Film Festival.

The College Student Film Festival was approved by a certain bureau, the Ministry of Education and the Beijing government, led by Beijing University of Peking, and jointly launched by the Beijing propaganda department and relevant film units.

Since its establishment in 1993, there have been sessions and it has accumulated considerable influence.

Although it is not as good as the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, it has also received a certain degree of recognition from the industry and the public. Many celebrities will come to support it, and it is considered a well-respected second-tier film award in the industry.

Wei Yang had worked with this college student film festival before and had even won the Best Actor award.

This time the organizers extended a cordial invitation to Wei Yang. Considering that he had just taken office as the chairman of the Film Association, he could not just focus on the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, but still had to take part in similar activities. So when he had time, he accepted the invitation and came to attend the awards ceremony.

Compared to general film award ceremonies, the College Student Film Festival is held inside Beijing University of Peking and is not as grand.

After all, it is a college student film festival, so its theme is different. Compared to awarding prizes to famous directors and stars, its main purpose is to support young student directors and to expose more new directors and low-budget films.

This includes inviting Boss Wei to take charge, not only because of his fame and influence, but also because his willingness to support newcomers is an important factor.

Of course, the most crucial reason is that the funding and award value are limited.

We can’t hold a big event without money, and we can’t invite too many people because the award is not of high quality. Basically, only the stars who have been shortlisted or confirmed to receive the awards will come.

Maybe it was because Boss Wei came this year, or maybe it was because the lineup of films nominated for the awards was so strong, that there were many more stars coming to support the event than before.

Among them were many acquaintances of Wei Yang, such as Wen Muye from "Dying to Survive", who came to present the awards, as well as Guo Fan from "The Wandering Earth" and Guli Nazha from "Sewing Machine Band", both of whom came to receive the awards.

"The Wandering Earth" is basically confirmed to win the [Best Film], but Guli Nazha is not sure whether she will win the [Best Actress], or the [Most Popular Actress among College Students] popularity award.

Gulinaza is very confident in himself and wants to have a glorious night of winning two games in a row.

Wei Yang glanced at Yao Dazui, Yongmei and Ren Suxi who also came, and felt that she was a little ungrateful.

In "Sewing Machine Band", she performed well, her legs were very white and slender, and the experienced Wei Yang also admitted that her touch was very good, but it was far inferior to these people.

Not to mention Yongmei, she just won the Berlin Film Festival Best Actress award and is a hot favorite for this year's Golden Rooster Film Festival. She will be ranked among the top in the Chinese film industry in the future.

Ren Suxi is a well-known drama queen, and her performance in "The Unknown" is textbook-level.

There is also Yao Dazui. Although Wei Yang is not impressed with this person's character, he still recognizes his professional ability. It is impossible for him to get away with it by stabbing a scumbag.

It seems that this silly girl is really arrogant after starring in a movie with good box office and reputation. She doesn’t even take the Berlin Film Queen seriously. He will have to give her a good beating later…

...

Boss Wei used to have a very high status in the film industry, but he still had to suffer some losses when facing some of his senior predecessors.

But after becoming the chairman of the Film Association, Wei Yang's actual status and official identity were fully utilized, and the older predecessors had to give way.

However, at this time, Chairman Wei was even more low-key and respectful to the elderly than before. He took the initiative to give the best seats to his predecessors and sat in a slightly inferior seat in the first row.

Of course, this is also because he is just a guest and it is not easy for him to steal the limelight from the organizers. If this was the Golden Rooster Awards hosted by the Film Association, he would not be able to give it up even if he wanted to.

There's nothing much to say about the award ceremony, it was just a normal awards ceremony, but with a lot of awards for college students interspersed throughout.

After the award recipients came on stage, some were immature, some were flamboyant, some were nervous, and some were social terrorists who volunteered to ask for investment from Boss Wei.

Wei Yang, who was used to seeing smooth and mature artists at award ceremonies, found it both awkward and funny.

As expected, Guli Nazha won the Popularity Award, while the Best Actress award went to Yao Dazui.

This silly girl was not discouraged. She was so excited that her pearls dropped on the stage while holding the trophy, while the audience below was grinning.

God have mercy on her. Compared with her good friend Dilraba Dilmurat, Guli Nazha has won very few film and television awards, and a considerable proportion of them were won for her debut work "Eastern Palace".

This Popularity Award of the College Student Film Festival may be a bit of a waste for others, but for Naza, it still has some positive meaning.

Wei Yang presented two awards, one of which was Best Film, which was given to Guo Fan.

When it came to this turn, Wei Yang couldn't help laughing on the stage, and teased Guo Fan that if he had known this would happen, he would have let Guo Fan make less trips and he would have taken it back.

Another more meaningful award is the Best Screenplay for College Student Film Awards.

No matter what Boss Wei’s identity is now, the one label that he can never and does not want to erase is that of a screenwriter.

Even in the eyes of outsiders, the screenwriting industry is the foundation of Wei Yang's fortune and the basis of his early career.

There are even similar jokes on the Internet, such as what professions are top bachelor veteran (Wanda Lao Wang), English teacher (Jack Ma), programmer (Xiao Ma Ge) and screenwriter (Wei Yang).

Boss Wei has single-handedly raised the value of the screenwriting industry.

Whoever claims to be a screenwriter on the Internet, a group of people will make memes about him being the next Boss Wei and having a bright future.

For most screenwriters, even if Wei Yang is not their idol, he is their life goal.

Just like every English teacher has dreamed of becoming Jack Ma, every failed art student has dreamed of giving speeches in pubs, and every librarian...

Coincidentally, the screenwriter I met today is Boss Wei’s little fan. His face turned red when he saw his idol presenting him with an award.

Wei Yang has not read his script, but there are more than 4000 feature and short films participating in the College Student Film Festival, more than 200 films were finally shortlisted, and only more than 20 won awards. He was able to win the "Best Screenwriter" award, which shows that he is quite capable among newcomers.

Since he was his fan, Wei Yang asked him a few more questions and learned that he was a student at the Beijing Film Academy, a senior this year, and would graduate in June, but had not found a job yet.

Wei Yang directly took out a business card and handed it to him: "If you are willing, contact me and you can come to work in the Blue Whale Screenwriting Department."

The college students at the scene made envious sounds. This was a real direct hiring by the boss, issuing offers on the spot.

Moreover, it is a big company like Blue Whale. For a new screenwriter like this, the treatment of Blue Whale's screenwriting department cannot be said to be the best in the industry, but it is definitely one of them.

The most important thing is that after joining, you can come into contact with many excellent screenwriters and top projects, and do a lot of learning and training, and even your resume will be gilded.

It’s not so bad for students from other majors, but many screenwriters and students from related majors are jealous.

Wei Yang is happy to see this effect, and came to the College Student Film Festival to show his attitude of supporting newcomers.

Recruiting a new screenwriter is no big deal for him. Blue Whale may evaluate the works of the entire College Student Film Festival in the future and recruit good talents.

In fact, Blue Whale has established a healthy talent reserve network, and every year it uses various channels and methods to discover new directors, artists, screenwriters and other behind-the-scenes talents. It even has similar talent supply cooperation with top art schools such as Shanghai Theatre Academy, Communication University of China and Beijing Film Academy.

It’s just that due to the special environment of the entertainment industry, it’s more difficult for newcomers to stand out, so the effect is not so immediate, but there are still quite a few achievements.

Every year, Blue Whale welcomes a group of new members and loses a group of old members.

Most of these old employees did not resign or were fired, but were poached by other companies.

In ten years, the influence of the Blue Whale series has spread to every corner of the entertainment industry.

Any company or regular crew with a little bit of strength in the industry will have at least one or two employees who used to work at Blue Whale, and at the very least they will be outsourced contractors who have worked with the company for many years.

Wei Yang once said that the success of Blue Whale sucked the blood of a lot of successful companies in the previous life.

But at the same time, the blue whale of this time and space also provides more high-quality fresh blood to the entire industry.

...

After the award ceremony, Wei Yang chatted with a few senior colleagues and prepared to leave.

Many college students at the scene chased him for photos and autographs, and some asked questions.

After all, they were all college students, most of them well-educated. Although it was a bit noisy, it was not crowded or chaotic overall. Under the cover of his bodyguard assistant, Wei Yang took the time to answer a few questions while leaving for his car.

"Boss Wei, when will Detective Chinatown 3 be filmed?"

"The script has been almost finalized. We will probably start filming next year."

"Mr. Wei, I'm a computer major. Can I work at Red Shark?"

"Of course, but you have to submit your resume and interview yourself."

"Mr. Wei, what do you think of Mr. Ma's suggestion a few days ago that 996 is a blessing?"

As soon as this question was asked, there was an uproar at the scene. Wei Yang couldn't help but turn his head to look at the bespectacled college student who asked the question and smiled.

"You want me to offend someone, right?"

The college students also laughed, but still joined in the clamor for him to answer. As fellow top billionaires, they all wanted to know what Boss Wei thought of this statement, and they were also waiting to watch the fun.

The two richest men are having a verbal fight, who wouldn’t want to be a part of the fun?
Wei Yang shook his head and did not answer the question directly. Instead, he made a joke: "I won't be fooled by you."

If Wei Yang wanted to, he certainly knew what to say to get cheers from the audience and even netizens.

But he has to sing the song of whichever mountain he stands on and sits straight. He himself is an ugly capitalist and pretends to be a friend of the workers.

Boss Wei said that 996 is not a blessing, and that he will be exposed by the overtime employees of PPTV, Red Shark and Blue Whale in the future.

Deep down, Wei Yang didn't think he was much better than those capitalists. The only thing that made him better was that he had a higher bottom line and was more self-aware.

Be a whore, don’t pretend to be a virtuous woman!
You can let your employees work 996, but pay them enough, and then make a fortune quietly in a low-key manner instead of giving people high-sounding chicken soup to disgust them.

Some people were still unwilling to give up and asked: "What advice do you have for young people today?"

At this time, Wei Yang had already arrived in front of the Maybach he was riding in. The door was already open. Before getting in the car, he looked at a group of enthusiastic college students and couldn't help but say a few words.

"My advice is don't listen to the so-called advice of those successful people. The road is your own, so walk it yourself."

After that, Wei Yang got in the car. The bodyguard closed the door, separating the onlookers from the car. The Maybach honked twice and slowly drove away from the Beijing University campus.

Wei Yang's words, along with the cell phone videos recorded by many students watching the scene, quickly spread to the Internet, sparking widespread discussion among netizens.

[Compared to other capitalists, Wei Gou is still somewhat humane]

[Haha, I strongly suspect that his last sentence was actually meant for Jack Ma. I suggest you stop giving me suggestions.]

[I don't dislike Wei Yang. The key point is that he rarely gives advice from so-called successful people. He is neither high-handed nor a teacher. He sounds much more comfortable than those brothers with good fortune.]

[I said Jack Ma’s theory of blessings is disgusting, but there are still people arguing with me. Even Wei Yang couldn’t stand it.]

[Jack Ma is a person who understands capital and then tricks you into being a tool of capital and a leek. Wei Yang also understands this, but he just does it without saying it. The nature is similar, but the perception is completely different.]

[Former PPTV and Youku employees answer this question and share their impressions after working in the two companies. Alibaba likes to talk about culture, with all kinds of tricks. It feels fresh and interesting at first, but becomes troublesome and boring after a long time. In addition, large companies also have many problems. PPTV also has corporate culture and has its own problems, but it pays more attention to effectiveness and can promote or demote. Although it is more cruel, the treatment and growth space are also greater.]

[Have you ever met Wei and Ma? How do you feel about them in private?]

[Ma likes to give chicken soup and likes to talk in a pretentious way, but he is indeed more friendly and optimistic, and easier to get along with. Wei rarely shows up, speaks little but is majestic, is swift and resolute, and has a big air. It is very stressful to face him]

【…】

On the other side, Wei Yang, who had already received the Zha, saw the comments online and a question mark slowly appeared on his face.

?

He handed the phone to Naza: "Is this what he usually says? I think I'm pretty kind?"

Naza glanced at him indescribably, and thought about what to say: "Most of the time you are quite nice, but maybe when you are in some meetings or listening to reports, you are a bit more solemn and serious. People below you don't know you well, so they may think you are arrogant."

Wei Yang: "..."

No matter how tactfully you put it, isn't it still the same as that comment?

Boss Wei was a little surprised. He knew that he was a little arrogant sometimes, but he always thought that most of the time he was very friendly and amiable. Many employees would even joke with him. He didn't expect that his employees had this side of him.

"..."

Boss Wei is a little autistic. He thought he was a good boss for the people, but you guys called me Wei Baopi behind my back.

Guli Nazha tried to comfort him gently, but Boss Wei didn't want to listen. He lay on Nazha's belly, touching her white and slender legs, and healed his wounds silently.

Naza was helpless and muttered something in his ear with a red face. Boss Wei's eyes lit up.

"Do you have a bass? I want to listen to "No More Hesitation" while listening to it..."
