Chapter 258 Fan Ye? Director Wei’s Little Wife!

In late September, "Famous" officially started filming in Shanghai.

Since it is a group portrait secret room drama, except for Zhang Songwen, Naza and other characters who will appear later, several leading actors have all been in place, and most of them have already finished their makeup.

The opening ceremony was very grand, with dozens of media coming, including many well-known programs.

Including "China Film Report" of the Six Princesses, "Entertainment Star World" of Shanghai TV, "Entertainment Live" of Guangguang, as well as reporters from Sina, Penguin, LeTV, Sohu and other platforms, the publicity resources are fully utilized.

The reason why so many media came to support it is that the film itself is extremely popular.

This is Wei Yang's debut film, and he wrote, directed and acted by himself. The cast is luxurious, and he also teamed up with Fan Xiaopang, the national CP, which can be said to be full of gimmicks.

It can be said that "Famous" is one of the hottest film crews at the moment, not inferior to the equally star-studded "Painted Skin 2" and "1942", and even slightly better.

After all, in terms of popularity and exposure, Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang are definitely the first echelon of the first echelon.

On the other hand, there are the media and platform resources that Wei Yang has accumulated over the years.

Boss Wei has connections in various TV stations and online platforms. When promoting TV series, he may have to consider the later broadcasting platform and make targeted invitations. There is no such entanglement for movies. The more the better.

Moreover, after the Blue Whale became famous, the platforms rushed to have it, and the audience also had a viewing base.

This is the first time that the movie Blue Whale has been produced, and the target group has changed, so "Famous and Famous" attaches great importance to publicity.

A considerable part of the cost is spent on publicity and promotion, and it is not ruled out that the budget will be increased later.

Many main creators wore T-shirts of the "Famous and Famous" crew with white background and black letters, standing in front of the incense table.

Director Wei took the lead and occupied the C position. Ning Hao and Wang Pangzi, two supervisors, were on both sides of him. Fan Xiaopang and Ge Daye were on both sides of Ning and Wang. The five of them stood side by side, followed by many main creators and staff, respectfully worshiping the gods and burning incense.

"The filming went smoothly and the box office was a big hit!"

Then there was a press conference where the main creators went up to talk about the situation, their impressions of each other, and expressed their determination, and then they faced interviews from major media.

There were too many media outlets, and each main creator had several individual interviews, not to mention Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang.

The media logo card in Wei Yang's hand was inserted into the microphone, and it could be used as an umbrella when it rained. His throat was almost dry from answering the interviews.

"This movie is about... the style is more similar to the Blizzard Villa model, and it is also a bit like "The Sound of Wind" from two years ago."

"It's my first time as a director, and the pressure is still very high. I am also very grateful to the two seniors, Director Ning and Director Wang, for their help."

"Guo Xiaosi? I don't mean to compete. It's mainly because I haven't found a suitable person. Then I personally have a lot of ideas about this movie, so I became the director... Han Han is also interested, I wish him success."

"The pressure of acting together this time is still very high. Except for Sister Bingbing, the others are all actors I like very much. I hope to learn more from them."

"Sister Bingbing cut off Liu Yifei? This is a rumor. We only see if it's suitable. Yifei is a very good actor, and we also look forward to the opportunity to work together."

"The second pairing, it should be the fourth pairing. In addition to "The Founding of a Party", Sister Bingbing also participated in "Joy of Life". It hasn't started shooting yet, but I believe there will be more tacit understanding."

"..."

The questions answered by Wei Yang are more comprehensive and complex, while Fan Xiaopang's questions are relatively simple.

The main focus is on the second pairing of the role cut off and the starring role of Wei Yang, as well as the rumors that have started to stir up trouble because of the cooperation between the two.

When "My Love from the Star" became popular, the rumors about the two of them were already widely read. Later, they also had a love triangle with Liu Shishi, which was listed as the top ten news of the year.

In the past two years, this news has been going around and around without stopping. Previously, Wei Yang and Liu Shishi starred in "Joy of Life" for the second time, which was a hot topic for a while.

Now Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang are working together on the former's debut new movie, and Liu Shishi is on fire because of "Startling by Each Step". The three of them are at the peak of traffic, so how could the media and the outside world not hype it up?

In the early years, the most watched love triangle in the entertainment industry was Xie Chef and Zhang Yunv. Their love triangle was in two batches. In the early years, it was Wang Fei, and later it was Teacher Chen.

Now the two are divorced, and the love triangle no longer exists.

Wei, Fan, and Liu, who have entered the top stream, have replaced these people and become the new top melon field in the entertainment industry.

It has been said before that this kind of highly exposed love triangle scandal is more beneficial than harmful to the artist as long as it does not affect the personality positioning.

Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang are already a ruin, so they definitely don't care.

Liu Shishi mentioned earlier that she was too closely tied to Wei Yang when she debuted, and her fans were highly receptive, and there was a large overlap with her CP fans, so she was able to minimize some negative losses, and Wei Yang could also use his scumbag attribute to help her share the blame.

So from a realistic perspective, not to mention the artists, the team has tacitly accepted this deformed but stable way of cooperation.

Even the three artists, Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang, are pragmatic, and both agree with this economical and affordable marketing strategy, and the latter is even particularly positive.

Only Liu Shishi was not happy, she didn't want her boyfriend to get too close to such a dangerous vixen, but she couldn't stop Tangren and Wei Yang who tacitly agreed behind the scenes, so she had to be forced to do business.

Therefore, Fan Xiaopang's statement was much more explicit and ambiguous than Wei Yang's, and he even made it clear that he took the role just for Wei Yang.

"...Wei Yang called and said that there was a role that might be suitable for me, so I agreed directly without reading the script. I believed him."

However, she is still a bit pushy. She is done with the hype with Wei Yang, and there is no provocation or connotation in Liu Shishi.

She knew that if she dared to mess around, Wei Yang would fall out with her, so although she wanted to cause trouble, she still endured the words.

When faced with reporters' questions about the love triangle, she just dismissed the rumors and said that was not the case. She covered it up by saying that she and Liu Shishi had a good relationship.

The normal start-up ceremony was basically completed in one morning, but because there were so many interviews, the crew of "Famous" didn't finish all the interviews until it got dark.

Wei Yang simply acted as the host and took the creative cast and crew leaders to dinner to get acquainted with each other.

I say they are familiar with each other, but in fact they are all well-known artist directors in the industry. Most of them know each other and have even collaborated with each other many times.

For example, Fan Xiaopang has collaborated with Uncle Ge on "Cell Phone" and "The Orphan of Zhao", and with Fatty Wang on "Eight Heroes" and "Little Fish and Flowers". Wu Jing, Fatty Wang, Duan Long, and Fan Xiaopang have all They have acted together, and Jiang Wu has also collaborated with Uncle Ge in "Alive" and so on...

On the contrary, Wei Yang, although he is the proprietor, is actually not very familiar with other people except Fan Xiaopang and Lin Gengxin.

So rather than saying that everyone is familiar with it, it is better to say that Wei Yang is getting to know the main creators.

After all, "Famous" is not a small actor, especially Uncle Ge and Fatty Wang. Wei Yang also has to sell some face, and it will be good for his directing and filming work to know more about his temperament.

Except for Fan Xiaopang in "My Love from the Star", Wei Yang's other leading projects were all based on him.

Therefore, I am somewhat lacking in experience in cooperating with many big names and directing each other, so I naturally need to gain more experience.

Fortunately, he also had a "good wife". Fan Xiaopang gave him a lot of advice, and he had communicated with several of them before, so the atmosphere of this party was pretty good.

In fact, Wei Yang also inquired about the reputation of these actors when casting, and consciously found some who were easy to get along with.

For example, Uncle Ge, he has an easy-going personality, is usually cheerful, and likes to make a fool of himself from time to time.

I don't like to get involved in things. I will do whatever I am told when I get paid. But apart from filming, I don't have other things to worry about. I don't talk to people easily, but I will never make trouble for you.

Not to mention Fatty Wang, a complete slicker with slippery hands.

In fact, there are some aspects of Wei Yang that we can discuss with him very well. They are all about realism, making money is more important than artistic pursuit, and he is relatively scumbag when it comes to relationships, but he is more defensive and generous.

Anyway, the more we talked, Wei Yang's impression of Fatty Wang changed somewhat, and the latter began to regard him as his "confidant".

Although Jiang Wu looks tall and thick, he is a bit tough, but there are rumors in the industry that "Jiang Wen is not civilized, Jiang Wu is not martial".

His personality is far from introverted, he is carefree and cheerful, he also likes to joke, and he is a bit of a thief, but he is not as domineering and strong as his brother, and he is very comfortable to get along with.

Wu Jing had a very lively chat with him. They were both from Beijing and had extroverted personalities, so they were very topical.

Duan Long is the most reserved among the main creators and doesn't like to talk much. However, Wu Jing and Wu Jing established a good relationship with him in "Western Wind", so they often chat with him, so they won't be left out in the cold.

As for Fan Xiaopang, it is rare that she is not as all-rounded and generous as other cast members.

Instead, more people followed Wei Yang, helping with conversation, and even helping pour wine and pick up food. She seemed to be transforming from Mr. Fan to the CEO's sweet wife, which left Wu Jing dumbfounded.

He can be said to be the one who has known Fan Xiaopang for the longest time. The two worked together as early as 1999 in "Little Li's Flying Knife". Later, they also acted as the male and female protagonists in the Qing Dynasty film "The Country is Most Important" drama.

At that time, Fan Xiaopang was not the famous Fan Ye now, but Jin Suo, who had just debuted.

But even then, Fan Xiaopang had a wild personality, which left a deep impression on Wu Jing.

Later, the two met on the set of "New Shaolin Temple". At that time, Fan Xiaopang was popular. After the broadcast of "You from the Star", his popularity exploded. Although there were not many scenes, the scene was not inferior to those of Hong Kong and Taiwan's big names.

Even though she had to bow her head when facing Cheng Long and Liu Tianwang, she didn't see such a cute wifely attitude.

Wu Jing looked at Wei Yang and marveled.

His original impression of Wei Yang was that he was handsome, talented, and good at making money. He could be said to be a rising star in the entertainment industry. When he came to play a supporting role in "Famous", he had the mentality of making friends.

He also knows that Wei Yang's peach blossoms are very prosperous. This kind of new "big man" in the entertainment industry is young, wealthy and handsome. It's strange that there are no women around him.

He wasn't surprised that Fan Xiaopang had an affair with him, but what was surprising was that Wei Yang could actually let Fan Xiaopang do this.

This shows that Wei Yang is not as "superficial" as he thought, but has real abilities, which even made the battle-hardened Master Fan sincerely moved.

Wu Jing thought about a certain host with whom he was currently ambiguous but had no clear relationship, and wondered if he should take the time to ask for advice on how to pick up girls...
