Chapter 746 Extra 3 The Internet is too deep
After the wedding, Young Master Wei, who did not get to eat at the banquet, went on a business trip specifically to roll around in his uncle's wedding bed.

To this end, Zhao Jianfei begged his sister for a long time and bought a lot of toys and snacks for his eldest nephew as labor fees, before he invited the second young master Wei to come out.

However, Zhao Jianfei and even the bride felt it was worth it.

Rolling in bed is for good luck and fortune. Young Master Wei's father is the richest man, and there is no other lucky guy in Handan who is more blessed than him.

Even the bride's family was particularly satisfied. Not to mention the identity of the Second Young Master Wei, just looking at the fact that the child was white and chubby and had a good appearance, this was a good sign.

Wei Yang patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder and said, "Try harder and give birth to a cousin to keep Wei Qin company."

Zhao Jianfei nodded seriously. If he had a son or daughter early, who was of similar age, and grew up with his cousin, they would have a deep relationship. Even if the older generation passed away, he could still rely on the Wei family.

Without staying in the bridal chamber for long, and after making sure that no one had taken a video of Young Master Wei and that it would not be leaked, Wei Yang and the others returned to their house in Lang City.

After all, Zhao Jianfei had just gotten married, and it was not easy for Zhao Liying, his biological sister, to leave immediately. She had to stay for a few more days. Wei Yang happened to have some things to do in Beijing, so he decided to stay in Langshi for a few more days.

Before I even got home, my assistant reported on the way that the wedding had become a hot topic.

Boss Wei was not surprised at all. He didn't need to worry about it. Zhao Liying had already started giving orders: "Those messy videos should be deleted or suppressed. Just keep one or two videos that give speeches on stage, and then control the direction of comments."

With Boss Wei’s current strength, it is not impossible for him to cover the entire network’s mouth if he really wants to.

But there is no need for that, and it can easily cause netizens to rebel. Sometimes the less you say, the more enthusiastically netizens will discuss it. It is better to leave a few windows for netizens to watch the discussion, and then guide the pace. Once netizens have watched the excitement, the heat will die down.

Wei Yang also went to Weibo, Zhihu and Douyin to read the discussions of netizens.

[This brother is pretty good looking, and the bride is pretty too]

[Zhao Liying's younger brother is not tall either, it seems to be a genetic problem]

[The above person is a bit mean]

[I want to know more about how much money Boss Wei got as a gift. The richest man’s brother-in-law and brother-in-law made a lot of money.]

[My classmate is from Langshi. I heard that Wei Yang bought two houses.]

[My second aunt is his relative. She said Zhao Liying bought a Porsche Cayenne for her brother and his wife.]

[Damn, why don’t I have such a good brother-in-law]

[@Fan Chengcheng, get married quickly and ask Boss Wei for a house and a car]

[This is bullshit. With a brother-in-law like this, what's a motorhome? With just a few resources, he can be a billionaire. Even if he doesn't live up to expectations, tens of millions are easy.]

[Zhao Liying has been following Wei Yang since she was a nobody. Boss Wei is also very particular. He has never left her side for so many years and even after she became successful, he still supports her brother-in-law (thumbs-up)]

【A role model for men (thumbs-up) (flowers)】

[She has to be the “original wife”, Zhao Liying must be different in Boss Wei’s heart]

【…】

Wei Yang thought there would be some discussions attacking his lifestyle, but he didn't know if it was because of his good rhythm control or netizens had long been accustomed to this matter, more people were envious of Zhao Jianfei and those earthy compliments.

The latter mainly come from platforms such as Douyin, Zhihu and Weibo, where there are more young people and they have diverse views on issues.

Tik Tok is currently the software with the widest audience. In addition to young netizens, there are also many voices of middle-aged netizens.

A considerable proportion of this group of middle-aged netizens are relatively "simple" and "positive". Wei Yang has a good public image and a successful career, so he is a good person and we should support him in everything.

Therefore, among all the major platforms in the past two years, apart from fans, Wei Yang has the best reputation among passers-by on Douyin.

As a result, Boss Wei has been using Douyin more frequently in the past two years.

Although he would occasionally pick out some negative comments to warn himself, Boss Wei is not a masochist. Who doesn't want to hear good words and be willing to stay on a platform that is more tolerant and friendly to comments about themselves?

And among these social platforms, Weibo is full of stench, Xiaohongshu is a holy place for boxers, Zhihu has countless traitors, and Bilibili also has many problems.

Tik Tok actually has its share of problems, but at least it has a large audience and is not completely controlled by any one group. It is relatively diverse, and it has an excellent algorithm, so the user experience is better than most platforms.

However, having said that, Wei Yang pointed out several comments that were obviously praising Zhao Liying.

"Is this your fan, or is it private information sent by your troll army?"

Zhao Liying rolled her eyes at him unhappily: "Obviously, he is the one who has the foresight to see my kind nature."

"hehe."

Wei Yang shook his second son in his arms: "Son, do you think your mother is kind? Kindness means a good person. Do you think your mother is a good person?"

Young Master Wei bit his finger and answered crisply, "Mom is a good person. She is not a good person if she doesn't let me eat."

"You little brat, you hold a grudge, don't you?"

Zhao Liying was so angry that she grabbed her son and pinched his face. Wei Yang continued to watch Douyin, and saw the slices of Huang Sanshi cooking in "The Longing for Life", and he had an idea.

“Is Huang Sanshi’s cooking really delicious?”

In fact, he had been curious about this question for a long time but had always forgotten to ask. Zhao Liying is the producer of "A Longing for Life" and she had tasted the food cooked by Huang herself before.

"good."

Zhao Liying nodded: "It may be a little exaggerated in the show, but it actually tastes good. I've eaten it a few times and it's pretty good."

"Compared to your cooking skills?"

Zhao Liying pondered for a moment: "For specialties, we both have our own strengths. As for normal home-cooked dishes, it depends on how they perform. I think he may be a little better, but not by much."

Wei Yang knew what was going on. He knew Zhao Liying's cooking skills. Among ordinary people, her cooking skills were definitely good, but compared with those professional chefs, she was just bullying.

Therefore, Huang Sanshi’s actual cooking skills are about the same as Wei Yang’s previous estimate.

He is one of the most decent cooks among ordinary people, and can barely be considered an amateur master.

If it is a specialty dish or an ordinary home-cooked dish, the taste is probably not bad, but it is not amazing either. At least the performance of the guests is mostly for show effect.

Not to mention variety shows, when you're a guest at someone's house, as long as the food isn't particularly bad, don't you at least say a few words of praise?

Another reason is that Mr. He has been praised too much, so it's no wonder that netizens complain that he has pica, as Huang Sanshi even says his farts smell good.

There is no limit to the flattery. A dish that scores 60 points is praised to 95 points, and a dish that scores 80 points is praised to 120 points.

Huang Sanshi was praised so much that he became carried away, and his image as a cooking expert was also built up. This guy was a bit of a know-it-all, and when he became inflated, he started to show off some fancy skills, and acted like he was very awesome.

But in fact, everyone who cooks knows that if you cook carelessly, the food will be ruined, especially if it is a dish you have never cooked before, there is a high possibility of failure.

Even a professional chef who has not undergone any tests may fail, let alone a home cook who loves to cook. However, the character has been established, Huang Sanshi has a high level of qualifications and status, and he is in front of the camera, so even if the taste fails, the guests have to bite the bullet and support him.

Even if it's like eating shit, you still have to say it smells good, tastes smooth, and has an endless aftertaste...

Netizens are not fools and will be fooled at first, but after too many failures and some people will imitate the recipe, they will gradually get used to it.

Coupled with the resistance and disgust caused by Huang Sanshi's other characters, the bad consequences finally became apparent.

Again, people are keen on praising God and are also keen on destroying God.

When Chef Huang was famous, his fans and netizens praised him as the God of Cookery, and even three-star Michelin chefs had to kneel down to listen to his lectures.

When public opinion turned, they criticized him to death, as if ordinary people's food cooked with their feet could taste better than his. They turned Mr. He and a group of celebrities into "pica addicts".

So when Wei Yang saw a bunch of netizens praising Huang Sanshi in the comment section, he always felt it was particularly awkward and ironic.

The Internet is such a deep water!
Even though Huang Sanshi received so much negative public opinion later on, perhaps in a few years, if he performs well in other programs or films, many "rational" netizens will come out to clarify and clear his name.

What Huang’s cooking skills are not that bad, at least he wouldn’t be criticized so badly; what he said about being a know-it-all is just that he likes to nag because he is old; his family affairs are misunderstood, and many of them are caused by conspiracy theories and marketing accounts; if he really has a bad character, he wouldn’t have so many good friends, blah blah.

Netizens and the general public have notoriously poor memories, so perhaps public opinion will reverse again.

Really, the longer Wei Yang stays in the entertainment industry and the Internet, the more he sees through many things.

The most typical example is that a few months ago, Spicy Eagle was cyber-bullied and almost banished to the cold palace because of his song "Rakshasa Sea City". A few months later, he became a patriotic artist in his fifties guarding the country's borders.

No one will always be popular, and no one will always be unpopular!
Red can be discredited, and black can be whitewashed. It is just a matter of cost and time. Of course, the premise is that you have to be valuable. For those who have been banned like Tantan and Shuangzijie, there is no point in reversing their names.

Therefore, Boss Wei has been a bit relaxed in the past two years. Not to mention that he has a thick armor and is powerful, he can't easily overturn and the damage is small.

Even if there is a major setback and the negative public opinion pressure is overwhelming, as long as there are no violations of principle, the worst that can happen is that you can just stay out of the spotlight for a few months.

After the storm, he is still a reputable hero!
...

With this in mind, Boss Wei took his second son and youngest son to Uncle Yu’s pet park to see the ponies the next day.

The third child had mentioned it to his two older brothers twice in Shanghai before, and both kids were quite interested. Since the second child lived nearby, Boss Wei took him to go and play.

Of course, he didn't just take his son out for fun, he also took time out to do some serious work, such as attending the roadshow of Blue Whale's National Day movie.

As mentioned before, because this year marks the 70th anniversary, the highlight of this year is the National Day period rather than the summer period.

The first one is Blue Whale, which jointly launched the tribute film "My Motherland and Me" with Shanghai Film Group, China Film Group and many other film companies.

However, the chief director of this film is not Director Chen, but Director Zhang Yimou.

The directors of other units are also mainly from the Blue Whale series.

For example, Wen Muye, Yan Fei and Peng Damo, who were brought up by Boss Wei, Xue Xiaolu and Ning Hao, who have worked with him, as well as Huang Bo and Deng Chaoyu Baimei, who have transformed into actors, plus the chief director Lao Mouzi, there are a total of seven units.

In fact, according to the original plan, Boss Wei was responsible for or starring in a unit, but later due to many reasons, he did not actually participate, but was only listed as a nominal producer.

In addition to "My People, My Country", there is also "The Captain" in which Blue Whale participated in the investment, and another main theme movie "Blooming Silk Road" which focuses on the theme of entrepreneurship in the era.

All three are commercial films, and the last one is based on an original script by Blue Whale, starring Lu Han, Zhang Binbin, Reyiza, Xu Lu, Tian Yu and other Blue Whales, with Dilraba Dilmurat also making a cameo appearance.

Compared with the recognized biggest hit of the National Day holiday, "My People, My Country", and the also popular "The Captain".

"Blooming Silk Road" is the least favored blue whale movie in the National Day holiday because of its subject matter and the poor appeal of its actors.

The same was true for everyone at Blue Whale, including Wei Yang. However, considering that it was an original script and most of the main creators were newcomers to the film industry, Boss Wei still came in person to show his support.

This treatment is still rare, and Lu Han and other main creators are a little flattered.

When the director was interacting with Boss Wei, he stuttered a little due to nervousness. Wei Yang joked that he could ask him to direct a play he acted in next time so that he would be yelled at less by the director.

Wen Muye/Zhang Yongxin/Peng Damo Yan Fei: "..."

You said that as if we dared to yell at you on the set...

There is not much to say about the movie "Blooming Silk Road" itself. Boss Wei has actually seen it before. It tells the story of a group of young people starting a business in line with the times.

Although it is the main theme and has a certain amount of praise, the main body of the plot is still about the difficulties and breakthroughs of young people in the new era when starting a business. The overall style is relatively light-hearted, with some exciting and tearful moments. It is not particularly outstanding, but it is above average.

Young people and people from first- and second-tier cities and some border cities may resonate more, while other audience groups may not be so appealing.

Blue Whale's estimated box office is 3-5 million yuan, which Boss Wei thinks is a bit conservative, but there is still a good hope of 5 million+.

But don’t forget that Lu Han and Zhang Binbin are both top stars, and Xu Lu and Reyiza are also very popular.

Although the box office purchasing power of fan clubs has always been ridiculed, they are actually quite capable, otherwise the film producers would not have been so stubborn as to look for them.

Moreover, the better the box office performance of the movie itself and the better its reputation, the higher the fighting power of these fans in the fan circle will be.

Fans are not stupid either, they calculate when paying!
It was a bad movie in itself, and she was upset about spending money to watch it. She also felt that the money was not well spent. It would be better to buy a poster or an album or something, at least her brother would earn more.

But if the movie is good, then watching it several times won’t feel like a losing business, and if the movie has good box office data, buying more tickets will also be better for the idol’s career.

Therefore, it is definitely impossible to expect these fans to make a huge hit, but if they are managed well, there is a good chance of increasing the box office by 1 to 2 million yuan.

In addition, fans will spontaneously promote the film, so it is not impossible to attract some passers-by and increase the box office.

Wei Yang himself is a beneficiary of the fan economy. His fans contributed a lot to the success of his early films, so he would never underestimate the potential of the fan circle.

After the roadshow, Boss Wei also had a meal with the crew of "Blooming Silk Road". When he left the hotel, he was blocked by many fans of Lu Han and took a few photos with them.

"Boss Wei, if you have any good resources in the future, can you think of our Lu Han?"

Some fans had the courage to help Lu Han ask for resources, and Wei Yang was not angry. Instead, he joked.

"No problem. Tell him to pass me more balls next time, and we can discuss this."

Wei Yang and Lu Han actually have a pretty good personal relationship, mainly because they are both Manchester United fans. Lu Han is a good football player, so Boss Wei has also looked for him a few times when he wants to play football for fun.

The young man is quite a good person. He often passes the ball to Boss Wei and serves Wei Yang very well.

If not for this, Boss Wei would not have helped him avoid the big pit of "The Fortress of Devil City" and added another movie resource.

So although Wei Yang's words were a joke, they could also be taken seriously.

Gao Qiu played football with Zhao Ji and became a general. Boss Wei is not that awesome, but if he enjoyed playing football, it is not difficult for him to get some film and television resources...
