The news that Blue Whale is preparing to shoot "Eastern Palace" has never been a secret.
However, it was not until later in the year that the preliminary preparation work of all parties was revealed, and the production and publicity team consciously followed up, that the outside world began to officially pay attention to this work.
The author of "Eastern Palace" is quite famous on the Internet. He has sold copyrights before, such as "Good Times Are Like a Dream", starring Qiu Ze, Chen Qiaoen, Feng Shaofeng and others.
The work "East Palace" itself also has many fans, and now the film and television adaptation has attracted the attention of a large number of fans of the original work.
However, compared to fans of the original book, fans of Wei Yang and fans of the drama are the biggest.
Prior to this, Wei Yang had only acted in one ancient costume movie, "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3". Not to mention the plot of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", his style and temperament have received rave reviews. He was once considered a strong competitor for Tianya's ancient costume beauties, so many people are looking forward to it.
His first male lead role in costume.
With Wei Yang's current popularity, there is no need to discuss much about him. At the same time, the outside world has inevitably paid attention to the actress who plays the heroine.
After "My Love from the Star", Wei Yang's adeptness in praising female artists and his own attributes as a "prosperous wife" have been recognized by everyone.
Yang Rong, Liu Shishi, Zhao Ji, Tang Yan, Fan Xiaopang...
The careers and reputations of the actresses who have worked with Wei Yang or who have starred opposite her have all made great progress in their career and reputation, and there are also some who have soared into the sky and been completely transformed.
One or two may be a coincidence, but four or five cannot be explained by luck.
Many people have analyzed the reasons. First of all, he participated in the behind-the-scenes production of most of Wei Yang's works, and the quality of the series itself is guaranteed.
At the same time, Wei Yang does have a versatile physique. He is good at creating sparks with actresses, and he also knows how to explore the characteristics of his rival actresses and form excellent interactions. The more emotional scenes there are, the easier it is for him to excel.
Among the above-mentioned actresses, Zhao Ji has no opposite roles. Yang Rong and Tang Yan have romantic relationships with Wei Yang, but they are not official partners. Although the three of them have benefited a lot, they are far inferior to the main heroines Liu Shishi and Fan Xiaopang.
.
After these two cooperated with Wei Yang, their careers developed the best, their popularity increased the most, they made the most profits, and they have a large number of die-hard CP fans.
Nowadays, the heroine of "East Palace" is not only a project that Wei Yang is deeply involved in, but also the heroine with the most emotional scenes, not to mention that it is Wei Yang's first work after becoming famous.
It is no exaggeration to say that Dahongdazi cannot completely guarantee whoever wins this heroine, but there is definitely a good chance.
As a result, "East Palace" has become the meat and potatoes in the eyes of female stars in the industry, becoming the next Fan Xiaopang or Liu Shishi.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, thank you for your understanding..."
Wei Yang hung up the phone, looked at Damimi and Liu Shishi who were looking at him in the private room, and smiled bitterly.
"Oh, there are too many social activities, and I won't stop even after eating. I'll silence you first."
Liu Shishi and Damimi were very considerate, and the latter was even a little envious. The more people called, the more it meant that Wei Yang was developing well, and everyone wanted to find something to do with him.
"Who is this Young Master Yang?"
When Damimi heard my family name, she couldn't help but ask, maybe she could get in touch with her, Wei Yang smiled.
"I guess you also know that Ju Li, who fell in love with "East Palace" and wanted to win the Yellow Saint Clothes, but I refused."
"I heard that he is very powerful, so I won't offend him."
Liu Shishi was a little worried, and Damimi couldn't help but agree: "I heard that he has a net worth of several billion, and his family has a great background."
"Don't believe it, you're just bragging."
Wei Yang shook his head and couldn't help complaining: "His family is rich, but it has nothing to do with him. His background is even more nonsense. He is using it to deceive people. To put it bluntly, he is just a rich second generation who has some shares in the family business.
, If you have money, you will have money, and it’s not that exaggerated. It’s only a few hundred million to support the sky.”
"That's also very rich."
Damimi said the truth, how many celebrities are now worth tens of millions, and those at this level can be considered financial backers.
However, this benefactor is not attractive to Wei Yang. Wei Yang knows several people who are richer than him. Even as far as this one is concerned, in two years, they will not know who is more like the benefactor.
Wei Yang had no interest in this person and didn't want to offend him, so he just declined, but Liu Shishi and Damimi were a little curious.
To be more precise, I was curious about the story about this man and Huang Shengyi, and asked Wei Yang for confirmation.
"A man who has done so much for a woman, or is such a seasoned prostitute who only wants money and sex, who do you think they are?"
"Sex, Huang Shengyi is so beautiful. There have been scandals between them."
"Caiba, you will make money if you become famous."
Liu Shishi and Damimi each put forward an opinion, and Wei Yang chuckled: "You're stupid, there is no conflict between these two, they can have both wealth and sex."
The two of them suddenly realized, and then Liu Shishi suddenly looked at Wei Yang and asked suspiciously: "Don't you also like to have both wealth and sex like him?"
"..."
Wei Yang really wants to give himself a big mouth. Why are you pretending to be cool when you have nothing to do? He has fallen into a trap.
"Can I be the same as this second-generation rich man who is greedy for sex and lust? I only have career and you in my heart..."
Wei Yang immediately expressed his loyalty and then changed the topic. Liu Shishi didn't dwell too much on it and turned to talk about other things. Damimi beside him was thoughtful.
"It's nothing more than wealth and sex. Wealth and sex..."
Today's party was held by Damimi when she came to the Magic City for an event. Liu Shishi took the initiative to make an appointment. Later, Liu Shishi called Wei Yang over.
Wei Yang knew very well what Damimi's purpose was. He had encountered too many similar situations these days.
On average, there are at least two calls for recommendations or help setting up calls every day, and social activities have stopped. If Liu Shishi hadn't come forward, Damimi would never have made a date with Wei Yang.
But Wei Yang didn't expect that Damimi would be so patient this time, and didn't bring up the serious matter until the meal was almost done.
"I heard that the heroine of "East Palace" has not been decided yet?"
"Who said so? It has been decided a long time ago."
Wei Yang smiled: "I haven't sent out any news yet, mainly because I want to create hype."
The news about the casting of the female lead in "East Palace" is still very hot. Fan Xiaopang and Wei Yang are paired together. Wei Yang likes Liu Tianxian, An Yixuan has three eyes on Blue Whale, and even Mr. Zhou is being teased by each other when he comes to the magic city.
There was a wave of heat.
Da Mimi was so choked by Wei Yang that she turned to look at Liu Shishi, who pretended not to notice and was immersed in his food.
As a good best friend, she can help connect people and even make an appointment with Wei Yang, but how to get the role depends on Damimi's own efforts.
She was looking towards Damimi, but she was also looking towards Wei Yang. It was okay to help and speak, but she would not interfere with Wei Yang's decision.
When Damimi saw Liu Shishi not speaking, she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, but she still took the initiative to fight for it.
"Old Wei, I'm not going to beat around the bush. I want to be in "East Palace". The remuneration is easy to negotiate, and it's not impossible to do it for free."
"It's really not about the pay."
Wei Yang glanced at Liu Shishi, who was stunned for a moment, then got up and left the box to get a drink. Once she left, he spoke directly.
"One of our purposes for this drama is to promote new talents. Remuneration is not a problem in the first place. Moreover, by promoting people to fame, it makes money for the company, but by giving you resources, it is Rong Xinda who makes the profit.
Mimi, we are friends, but I also have to consider the jobs of hundreds of people in the company."
Yang Mi was still a little unwilling: "What if I sign the Blue Whale?"
Wei Yang smiled and said tactfully: "Our company's strategy is different from that of Tang people. We prefer to cultivate ourselves."
On the surface, this meant that the company was developing in a different direction, but in fact, it was a euphemistic nod to Damimi. There was a precedent of the Tang Dynasty being such a wrongdoer. He did not believe Damimi's empty talk.
These words were actually a bit harsh. Da Mimi's face looked a little ugly, but Wei Yang was calm and continued to eat by himself.
Liu Shishi, who was going to get a drink, opened the door and came in, livening up the atmosphere. Da Mimi reluctantly smiled and cooperated, but the atmosphere was still a bit awkward.
After finishing the meal, everyone left. Liu Shishi looked at Wei Yang in the car: "What did you say when you asked me to go out just now?"
"I didn't say anything. I just clicked a few words. I was afraid that you would embarrass her and let you hide from the limelight."
Liu Shishi suddenly realized, but couldn't help but said, "Did you speak too harshly just now? Mimi is a little unhappy."
"I'm neither her boyfriend nor her father. Whether she's happy or not is none of my business. I'm not happy yet."
Wei Yang was also a little unhappy: "Before, she disliked the role in "My Love from the Star" and even went to film "Beauty's Scheming". Now she thinks that she is nothing. She invested tens of millions of dollars and wanted to be the heroine. She treats me like a fool.
.”
Boss Wei gives preferential treatment to his female friends, but that doesn't mean he is a licker.
He and Damimi have known each other for such a long time, but the other party didn't do anything to help him. At most, they just gave him some face. During this period, they were even suspected of backstabbing.
Wei Yang couldn't blame her, but it was impossible for him not to have any grudges in his heart, and he was not so mean as to ask Damimi to cooperate with her with his huge resources.
He holds Fan Xiaopang in his arms because he can bring him a lot of benefits, but Damimi is not qualified yet!
Damimi is known to have high emotional intelligence, but sometimes she always likes to play tricks to fool other people. In Weiyang, this is just a trick.
"Actually, it's not easy for Mimi. Her company doesn't care about her very much. She has to fight for a lot of resources on her own. If she wants to keep her position and climb up, sometimes it's inevitable that she will... make some calculations."
As long as Liu Shishi has a good relationship with the same person, he will bring his own filters and consciously beautify some bad behaviors.
Wei Yang did not deny this, but did not correct the matter, because she did the same to Damimi and the same to him.
"Scheming is normal. Everyone in the industry plots, but she counts hers and I count mine. She really has no chance in this drama."
Liu Shishi nodded. As mentioned before, she would help speak, but would not interfere with Wei Yang's decision. Although her ears were soft, they were a family, and Liu Shishi still understood.
However, she still cared about Damimi. When Wei Yang left the next day, she made a special call to Damimi, hoping to ease the relationship.
"It's okay. In fact, I thought about it when I went back. There are some things I did wrong. If it were me, I would make the same choice as Wei Yang."
Contrary to Liu Shishi's expectation, Damimi was easy to talk to. Not only did she reflect on herself, she also took the initiative to find an opportunity to have a relationship with Wei Yang.
"Later, please help me ask if there are any big or small roles in "East Palace", and I will help make a cameo."
Damimi felt that her mistake was just thinking about getting without giving.
If you only want to take advantage without suffering any losses, whoever wants to be friends with you must let others benefit, so that she can also win-win.
At least based on Damimi's understanding of Wei Yang's acting style, he agrees with this method. Fan Xiaopang is a typical example, so she will do what he likes.
To make a guest appearance in "East Palace" or other Blue Whale projects, whether it's to apologize or show favor, sell Wei Yang a few favors, and then ask him for help later, if the conditions are relatively suitable, he will be embarrassed to refuse.
However, in Da Mi Mi's mind, this is still a "stupid method" and the effect is far less effective than Liu Shishi's.
Wei Yang was so clear about their disagreement with her, but he and Liu Shishi had never seen so many calculations.
She also has such a shortcut...

ps: Because I didn’t find the right information, the statement about the syndicate company was wrong. After being reminded by a book friend, I made the correction.
In addition, the original work of "East Palace" should have been published directly in 2010. For the sake of the plot, some minor modifications were made, and it was published after serialization in 2009. I hope everyone knows
