Chapter 778 Extra 35 Young Master Wei: I want to exchange mothers with the second child

Magic City, Yunhuafu
As soon as Boss Wei entered the door, he was blocked by the three little ones, all of whom were wearing children's masks. The eldest and the second oldest were each holding an alcohol spray bottle.

"Disinfect, disinfect. Dad has been outside all the time. He needs to be disinfected."

"Okay, good hygiene awareness."

Boss Wei cooperated by stretching out his hands and letting the eldest and second young masters Wei spray alcohol on them. It was not enough to just spray their hands, they also had to squat down and turn around to spray their whole bodies.

These two little bastards don't know how to live. They use alcohol as much as they can. Each of them sprayed at least one third of the alcohol bottle in his hand on his father.

Fortunately, Boss Wei smelled something like diluted alcohol, probably for children to play with.

Otherwise, if anyone stirs up trouble with Boss Wei again, the three of us will have a feast today...

After the eldest and the second brother finished spraying alcohol, the third brother came forward to check. After he was satisfied, he nodded, took out a toy that looked like a small pistol, pressed it on Wei Yang's chest, and then a five-pointed star sticker appeared.

"You can go in."

Boss Wei looked at the sticker on his chest and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said that the butler who greeted him just now had several stars on his chest. When asked about it, he kept it a secret and said that we would know soon. It turned out that it was these guys who did it.

"No, why don't you have it?"

Wei Yang looked at Liu Shishi who was watching the fun on the side curiously, wondering why there was no sticker on her chest.

"Who said I didn't?"

Liu Shishi showed her wrist, on which was a star mark similar to a seal.

"I have the high-end version, so I can be exempted from inspection for three days."

Zhao Liying came over when she heard the noise and showed the mark on her hand.

Wei Yang held his forehead with his hand: "Who did you learn this from?"

"There was a nucleic acid test in the community before. If the children cooperated, they were given stickers. After they saw it, they started to make trouble when they got home."

Zhao Liying explained it and then complained about the news.

"You should be content. A few days ago, these guys were still using cotton swabs from home to test nucleic acid for people everywhere. They only behaved themselves after we gave them a beating."

If Wei Yang was not around, Liu and Zhao would not have lived in Yunhua Mansion permanently. Even today, if they hadn't known that Wei Yang was coming back, the two would not have met.

Liu Shishi's work is more of an artist, so she has to go on business trips after the lockdown is lifted. Recently, "The Witch" was launched, and she also has some promotional work to do.

In contrast, Zhao Liying, who is currently more inclined towards executive work, has been staying in Shanghai recently. In addition to her relationship with the old couple, she has been coming to Yunhua Mansion more frequently during this period and is more familiar with family affairs.

As soon as Zhao Liying finished speaking, her thighs were hugged by Lao Er, who made her lower her head and whispered in his ear with tears in his eyes about his mother's "numerous evil deeds."

"Dad, my mom beats me and doesn't let me have snacks. I only get a little bit a day. I'm so hungry and thin."

Wei Yang squatted down and pinched the little fat boy's chubby face, then held him up with both hands and shook his weight, expressing his ruthlessness.

"You've gained weight again. Your mom is still soft on you. I'll just cut off all your snacks."

If the eldest and the third oldest had complained to him, he would have taken it seriously. This little fat boy was either greedy or lazy, and he deserved to be punished by his mother.

Before, Young Master Wei complained to his grandmother and great-grandmother, but was pushed back by Zhao Liying. He found that it didn’t work, so he started looking for Boss Wei.

However, all these tricks he had were left over from what Boss Wei had learned when he was a child. Not only did he not fall for it, he also betrayed him to his face.

Boss Wei looked at Zhao Liying and said, "Your son said that you didn't give him food and beat him every day."

"..."

Young Master Wei was stunned when he heard this.

Are you my father? I treat you as my real father and you treat me as your godson. I give my heart to you, but you pee on me.

What's more, he clearly said that Zhao Liying was not given snacks, but when it came to Boss Wei, it became that he was not given meals, and there was no prefix "every day" before the word "beat him".

Fortunately, Young Master Wei is not well educated, otherwise words like taking things out of context, spreading rumors, and sowing discord would have slammed Boss Wei in the face.

However, Young Master Wei was no longer in the mood to discuss right and wrong with his father. Seeing that Zhao Liying had already started to roll up her sleeves, the little fat boy let out a roar and jumped upstairs with his legs thumping.

Seeing this scene, Liu Shishi rolled her eyes at Boss Wei.

"You really are my dad."

Wei Yang spread his hands: "As a father, I am aware and it is necessary for me to let him see the dangers of society."

Young Master Wei and Young Master Wei III trembled as they leaned towards Liu Shishi, and the eldest son even expressed his love to his mother affectionately.

"Mom, you are still the best."

Liu Shishi rubbed her son's head happily. Although living with Zhao Liying and her mother had many disadvantages, there was one advantage that she had to admit.

It greatly promoted the relationship and intimacy between mother and child.

Whenever Wei Ershao got beaten, the eldest brother thought his mother was a good mother. Similarly, seeing Wei Ershao who often made Zhao Liying furious, Liu Shishi also liked the eldest brother a lot more.

Fan Xiaopang is even more outrageous, he simply treats Zhao Liying as a wolf grandmother.

There were a few times when the third child got angry, and she threatened to give him to Zhao Liying as her son, and the child became obedient then.

However, although Zhao Liying's image is sometimes more "negative", it also greatly enhances her majesty in the hearts of children.

These three naughty kids were having fun, and everyone else in the family was helpless, but she was the only one who could keep them under control.

Anyone with children knows how important it is to have a villain in the family.

For this reason, Liu Shishi and her family, including the elderly couple who take care of the children, should give Zhao Liying a banner.

After Zhao Liying had taken care of the children, the family had a welcoming dinner in harmony.

Then Boss Wei was captured by Liu Shishi and taken to COFCO Seaview No. 1. Zhao Liying, who had always been at odds with her, also failed to stop him.

July is coming and "The Witch" will be released. Liu Shishi will be busy for a while. Boss Wei is hers, so there is no need for her to snatch his time from him.

If I insist on competing with Liu Shishi for the person and make this woman angry, and then she stays to fight against her, it would be a waste of time and effort.

...

COFCO Seaview One
After paying his taxes, Boss Wei couldn't sit still for a moment and was forced by Liu Shishi to help pack his luggage.

Wei Yang couldn't figure it out either. These women all had this problem.

Even though there is a nanny at home, he insists on doing this hard work himself, and calls it that some of his personal belongings are something he doesn't want outsiders to touch.

It would be fine if you don't allow outsiders to touch it, but the key is that you can't clean it up yourself. You often lose things and have to ask Boss Wei or the nanny assistant to clean up the mess from time to time.

Especially Liu Shishi, she had an old habit and would almost never fail to call back to ask for things.

However, there was no point in talking. Boss Wei was too lazy to waste his breath and cause trouble for himself, so he just obediently folded underwear for Liu Shishi.

"Do you want to bring this pink one?"

"Without."

Liu Shishi raised her head and denied it directly. Boss Wei put it aside and picked up another one to ask. Liu Shishi hesitated for a moment and then said she didn't want to take it, so Wei Yang put it in a storage bag aside.

If she changes her mind or needs it later, she can get it directly from here.

If you live with these women and don't pay attention, even if you have eight hands, they won't be able to use them.

Liu Shishi had almost finished packing. When she took a break to rest and think about what else to bring, she started thinking about the summer vacation.

"Do you think our movie can take first place in the reopening market this time?"

Wei Yang heard her subtext: "Why don't you just ask if you can crush Liu Tianxian?"

Liu Shishi was a little embarrassed, then she sat next to Wei Yang and pinched his shoulders in a servile manner.

"Why don't you go to our premiere ceremony? There are a lot of people praising Mulan online, and I'm a little unsure."

Although the two Lius have tacitly kept a low profile on this summer battle, media marketing accounts, spectators and other fans will not let them go.

Various related topics have become the hot topics of this summer season. Even though the two crews did not say it outwardly, they were actually secretly trying to gain traffic.

In this environment of public opinion, people began to take sides online.

"Witch" actually has quite a few supporters, but "Mulan", with the halo of Disney's $2 million blockbuster production, currently has the upper hand.

Of course, this is also one of Blue Whale’s promotional strategies.

They positioned the movie "The Witch" as a high-quality, mature and relatively novel commercial action film of medium to high quality.

For most audiences, this kind of movie is far from being able to make them applaud and linger on, but it is likely to make the audience feel that it is very exciting and they will spend two hours happily and think that the ticket is worth it.

As a professional film company, Blue Whale has its own standard distribution plan for films of this positioning:

At the beginning, they only target established groups, such as Liu Shishi fans and Blue Whale fans, and lower expectations to the outside world. After the film is released, they will make a big effort based on the first batch of positive word-of-mouth to attract passers-by.

This is actually a very mature approach.

Unless you are extremely confident about the quality of the movie, or you are the type who intends to trick people into watching the movie and then make a quick buck and walk away.

Try not to over-exaggerate the quality of a movie before it’s released, which can lead to overly high expectations among the audience, who then go to the cinema and find out that the movie is not what was advertised, and then be backlashed by public opinion.

Because there are countless movies that have failed like this, the Blue Whale publicity and promotion team is very sensitive about this.

They even made a slogan out of a sentence that Boss Wei said during a meeting and posted it on the wall of the office area.

[Never market a work with a score of 70 as 100 points. The 30 points you add will actually make the work lose more points]

It is precisely because of this steady distribution style that Blue Whale has not yet encountered any problems with quality promotion and marketing.

Liu Shishi is not unfamiliar with this principle. The publicity and promotion team has explained it to her, and even analyzed that the current marketing model of "Mulan" is very much like a plan to deceive the audience into making some initial box office revenue and then let it flop.

But even though she knew it, she still couldn't help feeling guilty when she saw all the public opinion online supporting and praising "The Witch".

In fact, Liu Shishi is not afraid of losing. No one always wins, and she is mentally prepared for this.

But losing also matters how you lose!
What's the point of losing narrowly? It's not shameful to lose, even a small loss is acceptable.

What Liu Shishi was afraid of was a crushing defeat. If she was killed madly by Liu Tianxian, that would be a very ugly loss.

Since Liu Shishi rose to prominence, she and Liu Tianxian have been competing for the title of the "Two Lius". Although she has been mocked for her dark history as "Little Liu Tianxian" and criticized for relying on men to win favor, she is indeed firmly ahead of Liu Tianxian in terms of her career.

You know, the number one 85 flower back then was Liu Tianxian. She even disdained to be on par with the 85 flowers, and her benchmark was the Four Dan Shuang Bing.

But now, even after semi-retiring for several years, Liu Shishi is still recognized as the number one 85 flower.

Let alone competing with her for the first place, it is even more difficult for Liu Tianxian to get rid of Da Mimi and Zhao Liying who are standing in front of her.

Therefore, Liu Shishi has been a little arrogant in her heart when facing Liu Tianxian over the years. To put it more bluntly, Liu Tianxian can afford to lose. It's not the first time anyway. It's nothing more than being ridiculed a few more times. Anyway, she is used to it.

Liu Shishi can't afford to lose more or less, and is easily attacked by Tianxian fans. Others will also lead the pace, and she herself can't stand the stable suppression situation of so many years being broken.

Looking at Liu Shishi, who was somewhat worried, Boss Wei shook his head.

After all, it’s because Liu Shishi has too few film works and lacks confidence.

If it was the small screen this time, Liu Shishi would not be afraid at all, but the only big screen performance she can really show off is "Knife Assassins 2".

Liu Tianxian has worked for both Hollywood and Disney, and each of her titles is more intimidating than the last. It would be strange if a "movie newcomer" like her could hold up.

"The premiere is a small matter. Don't panic now. There's no point in being afraid before the battle."

"I know, but I can't help it."

Wei Yang could see that Liu Shishi was probably not only worried about Liu Tianxian, but also had a fear of making a comeback.

You know, Liu Shishi hasn't released any new works for a long time since she became pregnant and gave birth.

"The Witch" is not only her second movie, but also strictly speaking, it is Liu Shishi's first work after her comeback. These elements bring not only gimmicks and attention, but also a lot of pressure for Liu Shishi herself.

Rather than being afraid of losing to Liu Tianxian miserably and humiliatingly, Liu Shishi's deeper psychological fear may be that she is afraid that she will not be able to reach her past level and will no longer be at her peak.

As mentioned before, although Liu Shishi has semi-retired in the past two years, her aura is still there and she is still the number one flower among the 85s.

But if this movie fails and Liu Shishi goes from being the number one 85 flower to being a joke among 85 flowers, this gap is something Liu Shishi cannot accept.

Liu Tianxian and "Mulan" are now considered the touchstone for Liu Shishi's comeback.

As long as she wins, with Liu Tianxian, a defeated opponent of the 85 flowers, and it being a Hollywood blockbuster, Liu Shishi's comeback cannot be considered a failure, and her inner anxiety will naturally dissipate.

Boss Wei looked at Liu Shishi, whose emotions were obviously tense, and then he came up with a dirty trick.

"I have a way to help you reduce your worries and stress about her."

Liu Shishi looked at Boss Wei expectantly: "Do you have any dirt on her? Was she dumped or had plastic surgery? Or does she have an illegitimate child outside?"

Boss Wei was speechless. You couldn't tell at ordinary times that he hated the other person so much in private and didn't wish the other person well at all.

"Why don't you say she's evading taxes and taking drugs?"

"real or fake?"

Liu Shishi's eyes widened, with visible surprise on her face, and a hint of regret and sorrow in her excitement.

As for old enemies, you may not get along with each other at ordinary times, but when the other party is really gone, there will be no more competition with each other. Besides being happy, you will also feel a little empty and tasteless...

Wei Yang was amused and deliberately joked with her: "If you really hate her so much, I can frame her or arrange for someone to spread a rumor."

Liu Shishi also realized that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly waved her hands: "She deserved it for making the mistake she made. What has happened to us if we frame and slander others? No, no, no, it's not necessary to be so despicable to just point out the grudges."

After some laughter, Wei Yang revealed his dirty trick.

In fact, it is very simple. Boss Wei took out his mobile phone, and then opened Douban, Tieba, Zhihu and other platforms to search for Liu Tianxian's movie reviews.

"You've seen it, put aside those who flatter you, I guarantee that the more you watch, the more confident you will be."

It's not an exaggeration at all. Let alone Liu Tianxian, even if you are a real fairy, if you take a look around these platforms, you will be humiliated and be nothing.

Not to mention that Liu Tianxian’s previous films were really not up to par.

Some extremists even say that apart from their face, they are good for nothing!
Sure enough, Liu Shishi, who was previously influenced by the online public opinion that was optimistic about "Mulan", is now amused when she sees the negative reviews about Liu Tianxian.

In the end, the woman was so satisfied with the show that she turned on the projection screen in the bedroom and connected it to her mobile phone to enlarge the show. She made some wonderful comments and took screenshots to save them, and then asked Boss Wei to share them.

After seeing enough, Liu Shishi was in a good mood and his confidence soared. He regarded Liu Tianxian as a vulnerable person.

Then she came up with an idea: "You said these people scolded Liu Tianxian so badly, how did they evaluate me?"

Wei Yang leaned against the bed and put down his phone, and emphasized seriously: "Believe me, if you don't want to have a good sleep today, don't make things difficult for yourself."

After hearing this, Liu Shishi thought about the sharp remarks made by those who criticized Liu Tianxian, shuddered, and forced herself to suppress her curiosity.

Then, she searched for negative comments about Fan Xiaopang and Zhao Liying, and soon Liu Shishi's gloating laughter was heard in the bedroom again.

In the end, Liu Shishi even searched for Tang Yan and Da Mimi. Although her attitude was obviously restrained a lot, Boss Wei still saw full of joy in her eyes.

Wow, the three beauties of plastic never lie to me!

...

In early July, the film market officially announced its reopening.

However, the major new films were not released directly online, but were watching the market and the situation.

I haven't watched a movie for half a year. What if the audience doesn't buy it? If it is released first, I will easily become cannon fodder.

Moreover, the market has just been reopened, and it is also reopening during the mask-wearing period, so there are bound to be various problems, which will take some time to adjust.

So when the market just reopened, all the major cinemas were showing old movies.

It was not until more and more audiences returned to the cinemas, various problems had been resolved, and the market's demand for new films grew louder and louder that the first batch of films that resumed production were officially announced.

Although "The Witch" and "Mulan" are the two most talked-about movies on the Internet.

But if we talk about the most anticipated movie after the reopening, it has to be "The Eight Hundred", which Huayi risked its life to make.

And the absurd comedy film "Grand Slam" which brings together many comedians such as Shen Teng, Li Jiahang, Lei Datou, Guo Jingfei, Xiao Yueyue, Tian Yu, Qiao Shan, etc., matched with the two female protagonists Ma Li and Xu Lu, and has guest appearances by Zhao Liying and the two beauties of Xinjiang Province.

This movie is an original script written by the Blue Whale Screenwriting Department. The protagonist is Shen Teng, the second male lead is Li Jiahang, Lei Datou is the third male villain, Ma Li is Shen Teng's wife, Xu Lu is his lover, and the others are supporting roles.

The plot of the movie revolves around an inheritance, with various groups competing against each other, and whoever wins takes all, the so-called grand slam.

As the deadline for the opening of the game is approaching, Boss Wei has fewer and fewer cards in his hand. In the past two years, the screenwriting department of Blue Whale has produced more and more original scripts.

Last year alone, the number of TV dramas and web series that were approved for investment exceeded double digits. After resuming work this year, four or five have been included in the shooting plan.

These plays were all scripts from the Blue Whale Screenwriting Department, and Boss Wei had never heard of them in his previous life.

The requirements for movies are more stringent, especially for large-scale productions. They have to be evaluated by the company's professionals and then submitted to Boss Wei for review and approval before they can be approved.

The script of the movie "Grand Slam" did not pass the evaluation at first. Later, directors Yan Fei and Peng Damo took a fancy to the script and found Boss Wei through Li Jiahang.

Boss Wei has studied this script carefully. It has a certain Happy Twist style, but also has a bit of Ning Hao's early black humor.

However, the original script was a bit too crude and literary, and it might just be a niche comedy. Wei Yang thought it could be adapted into a commercial style.

With the support of Boss Wei, the script was revised three times and it took a year to complete the script.

Boss Wei spoke highly of this script, believing it to be one of the best original scripts written by the Blue Whale Screenwriting Department, and not inferior to top comedies such as "Charlotte's Troubles" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

As a result, this movie also received strong support from Blue Whale, with full funding and a very luxurious cast.

Originally, "Grand Slam" was planned to be released during the 2020 Spring Festival, which shows how much importance Blue Whale attaches to it.

Later, the film was withdrawn from the theater due to the mask issue. Now that it has been reopened, Blue Whale brought out this movie in order to make the first move in the reopening of the theater.

The same is true for "The Eight Hundred". Putting aside other things about this movie, the cast is really impressive. Any two of them are well-known artists.

One comedy, one main theme, and an all-star cast.

Of course, the two companies volunteered, which also represents a certain attitude of the authorities, hoping to avoid the impact of masks and continue the hot film market of the past two years.

With his experience in his previous life, Wei Yang is not so optimistic. He knows that the film market will continue to be sluggish in the next few years.

Even during this reopening of the market, although Boss Wei appeared calm on the surface, he was actually sweating in his heart, which was extremely rare.

"The Witch" is okay, at least I have some reference experience from my previous life, and I'm not the main character.

"Grand Slam" is a purely original script and is the mainstay of Blue Whale's film production this time.

Although Wei Yang was very optimistic about the book and felt the finished product was good, he was used to cheating and without the God's Eye, he always felt a little unsure.

The most important thing is that he knows the performance of the movie "Eight Hundred". Although it is not very successful, the box office is really good.

Unfortunately, this movie was produced by Huayi, and the two parties had a grudge against each other before, and Boss Wei gave the other party a severe beating, so Feng Pants also suffered losses.

This movie is a life-and-death struggle for Huayi, which is now in a precarious situation.

The Wang brothers even shed tears during the promotion of the film, saying that if the film failed, Huayi might no longer exist.

In this case, if Boss Wei targets "Eight Hundred", it would be a ruthless killing. People in the circle would feel grief over the loss of the rabbit and the fox, and public opinion would probably be mostly sympathetic to the weak.

By then, I'm afraid no one will discuss whether the movie "Eight Hundred" is wrong or not. Everyone will first criticize Boss Wei for being domineering and not leaving any way for his peers to survive.

So although Wei Yang knew that there were problems with the movie "Eight Hundred", he hesitated for a long time and still did not intervene. He planned to wait until the public discovered that there were problems with the movie before taking any action.

This is a very simple principle of self-preservation.

When you find a pus, be kind enough to squeeze it out in advance.

Not only is it likely to make you covered in pus, but other people will also condemn you for being mean and mean. If you don't squeeze it, the person may heal on his own.

But if you don't squeeze it, the pus will gradually become more serious and disgust everyone, and everyone will complain.

If you deal with it at this time, not only will you not be affected, but you will also receive a lot of praise and people will think that you are getting rid of harm for the people.

However, regardless of how to squeeze out the pus from "Eight Hundred", Wei Yang is concerned about whether "Grand Slam" can win.

Not to mention the grudge with Huayi, if "Grand Slam" had not won, and Boss Wei turned around and targeted "Eight Hundred", people would say that Wei Yang was seeking revenge after Blue Whale lost at the box office, appearing to be upholding justice but actually retaliating.

By the time Wei Yang finishes filming "Eight Hundred", he will feel suffocated and uncomfortable.

So, the Grand Slam must win, and try to win beautifully.

By then, "Eight Hundred" will be a defeated opponent, and there will be no question of being targeted by Boss Wei's jealousy. His actions will be based on public opinion and public conscience.

Therefore, Boss Wei personally gave a strict order to the crew of "Grand Slam", requiring them to win the first battle after resuming work.

In addition, Wei Yang not only promoted the movie many times on social media, even posting a link to buy tickets, but also personally went to the premiere on the first day of the movie's release to supervise the event.

Liu Shishi felt a little jealous after watching it. Boss Wei didn't treat "The Witch" like this.

The premiere ceremony was fine, as it was an appointment made in advance. She had to bargain for a long time and promised many benefits before Wei Yang gave her the ticket purchase link.

Liu Shishi gnashed her teeth in anger, thinking about going back to torture little Wei Yang, or beating up Wei Dashao, Wei Yang's biological son, to vent her anger.

Young Master Wei: “…”

I think it’s not bad to swap mothers with the second child. Aunt Zhao had a good reputation before…
