Chapter 283 It’s the Spring Festival Again, and the People in the Shanghai Circle Are

It is close to the Spring Festival, Xiao Zhao has gone home to celebrate the New Year, otherwise she would definitely show up earlier than Wei Yang.

Even if Wang Yunping hadn't stopped her from telling her, she might have booked a flight back from her hometown if she knew the news.

According to the plan, there are still some unfinished work in Xingcheng, but my mother is sick, and the New Year is coming soon, so these two days are not a big deal, and we can make up for it after the New Year.

This year's New Year, the whole family spent it in Shanghai, and the eldest aunt's family also moved to Yunhua Mansion. Anyway, the place is big and they can live anywhere.

My cousins ​​like to live in my uncle's house very much. After all, they are not old. Although the house that Wei Yang bought is good, it is definitely not as comfortable and impressive as a big villa.

It's not that Wei Yang is stingy. With the relationship between him and the eldest aunt, it doesn't matter if he buys another villa. It's not that he can't afford it.

But the eldest aunt is impossible to want it. After all, the eldest aunt is almost a biological mother, but not a biological mother, and she has her own children.

To put it bluntly, the things Wei Yang gave to his parents, no matter if it was a villa or manor, would still belong to him after a hundred years, but his aunt had her own children. Who would the house belong to after she passed away?

Wei Yang treated his aunt as his own mother, but he did not necessarily treat his cousins ​​as his own brothers and sisters. Even his brothers did not directly give him villas worth hundreds of millions.

Wei Yang had helped a lot, and even intended to give his cousins ​​a house when the time came, and would also help with work and other aspects in the future.

For this, his aunt and uncle were very grateful and satisfied. If they had been "greedy", it might affect their relationship.

Wei Yang also knew this truth. Great kindness is great hatred. If it was just his aunt, it would be fine, but if it involved other people, things would be much more complicated.

Fortunately, this house was big, and his parents could not live there originally. His aunt and uncle could move in to enjoy it when they were free or retired, and the four of them could just keep each other company.

In the audio-visual room on the basement floor, Wei Yang played live football with his cousin holding a controller.

He usually plays fewer games, and this one is one of them. Now he is too busy and has a special status, so he has less and less time to play football, so he can only enjoy it in the game.

Watching Rooney perform a hat trick on the screen, Wei Yang led by a large margin of 6:1, and his cousin was disheartened.

Wei Yang was a little embarrassed. He had just started for less than half an hour. Did he kick too hard?

So Wei Yang let his cousin score two goals, otherwise he would make the child autistic, and who would play with him later.

While playing the game, Wei Yang asked about his studies. The two are now in high school and transferred to Shanghai under Wei Yang's arrangement.

However, it is not yet certain whether he can stay in Shanghai to take the college entrance examination and enjoy relevant policies, because these policies change every year, and Wei Yang is also in contact to understand them.

Now Shanghai's household registration and related policies are more and more strictly controlled, and the threshold is also very high, not to mention for college entrance examination candidates.

Wei Yang did not dare to guarantee it, so he could only say that he would do his best. If it doesn't work, he can only go back to his hometown to take the college entrance examination.

The academic performance of the two is not good. The cousin can still strive for a bachelor's degree. Even with the policy of Shanghai, she can only go to junior college.

However, for Wei Yang, it is not very important which university the two go to. After all, they have watched them grow up since childhood, and they will definitely take care of them in the future.

The treatment of these two is good. After all, they have the best relationship with Wei Yang and have watched them grow up since childhood. The treatment of the cousins ​​on my mother's side is much worse.

Two cousins, a cousin, and a cousin's husband are now working as drivers, security guards, etc. in Wei Yang's company or crew. There are two cousins ​​working as front desk and administration, and there are several cousins ​​of the Wei family.

Of course, Wei Yang has done some operations to make them more relaxed than ordinary drivers and security guards, with more money and a good name. Forget about the rest.

To put it bluntly, Wei Yang pays some money to support them, as long as they don't make trouble.

This situation is difficult to avoid. If you become successful, you can't watch your relatives eat coarse food. Regardless of the reputation of your hometown, you must also take care of your parents' thoughts.

The two elders have lived in Zaoshi for most of their lives, and they have a good relationship with their relatives. When people come to ask for help, some of them are their own nephews and nieces, so it is difficult to turn them away.

Of course, Wei Yang does not help everyone. The group of people who stayed are all honest and obedient. They are satisfied with a high salary and go back to their hometown to say good things about him.

There are also a few people who are ambitious and want to be managers, want to manage money for their cousins, and rely on their relatives to make trouble. He directly drove them away.

Relatives from their hometown came to plead for mercy, but Wang Yunping and Wei Xia scolded them back.

They value relatives, but they value their sons and nephews more. Helping is a favor, not a duty.

They have been in the streets for decades. The two old ladies are not joking. If they want to help with moral kidnapping, they can win over a group of relatives with a few words to isolate and exclude them.

Now the status and appeal of the old Wang family and the old Wei family are very high.

Thinking of the fighting power of his mother and Wang Yunping, Wei Yang couldn't help but shudder.

He had personally seen the two of them team up to curse at a dozen old women, and they even won...

…

During the Spring Festival, Wei Yang was able to take a short break at home, playing games, growing flowers and plants, and taking care of his cousins ​​every day, feeling particularly relaxed.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, he invited Hu Ge, Huang Ling, Xue Zhiqian, Qi Wei and other friends in Shanghai to play mahjong at home.

Xiao Zhao, Liu Shishi, Li Jiahang and some company artists have all returned to their hometowns, and those who have not returned are also working. However, Hu Ge and other local Shanghai artists or those who have settled in Shanghai have more time and can make an appointment to get together.

These people made phone calls and brought a few close friends with them, so as to make some friends with Wei Yang, the big boss.

Wei Yang did not refuse. First, it would be more lively with more people. Second, most of these people were from Shanghai, so it would be good to get to know them.

Boss Wei’s threshold was not low, and ordinary people did not dare to come. The few people who came were also well-known. The more noteworthy ones were Wu Gao and the couple Deng Chao and Sun Niangniang.

Wu Gao was brought by Huang Ling. He did not live in Shanghai, but in Beijing. However, he stayed in Shanghai for the New Year.

Wei Yang looked at the two people, remembered the gossip he had seen on the Internet before, and smiled.

Huang Ling had known him for a long time and had a good relationship with him. He spoke relatively casually and could not help but complain.

“Don’t get me wrong, we are just friends. He just happened to stay in Shanghai.”

“I understand, I understand!”

Wei Yang nodded and chatted with Wu Gao. To be honest, he really wanted to get to know him.

Blue Whale will have a lot of film and television theme song work in the future, and it is impossible for him to write them all. He does not remember so many songs, nor does he have so much time and energy, so he has long wanted to find a master for long-term cooperation.

Although Wu Gao's price is not low, he is famous, and compared with Jay Chou and JJ Lin, the cost performance is quite good.

In addition to Wu Gao, Xue Zhiqian is the same. He can write and sing, and the price is right, so some cooperation can be carried out.

The two are naturally willing to do it. It is a profitable business, not to mention that Blue Whale's projects are all hot dramas.

No matter how good the music is, it also needs the platform bonus. If it were not for "Palace Lock Heart Jade", "Love Offering" would definitely not be as popular as it is now.

So if they cooperate with Blue Whale, the TV series will become popular, and they can also benefit from it. This is a win-win situation.

After talking with Wu Gao, Wei Yang talked with Sun Niangniang and her husband.

Sun Niangniang is from Shanghai. It is reasonable to say that she is a legitimate descendant of the Shanghai circle, but in fact she was mainly in the Beijing circle before.

She became famous for filming Hai Yan's dramas in her early years and has been the top actress of Hairun for many years. Now the two sides still have a certain relationship, but Sun is basically independent.

Not only Hairun, but also Director Zheng Xiaolong, who collaborated with her peak masterpiece "The Legend of Zhen Huan", is also a big shot in the Beijing circle.

However, although the TV series are basically based on the Beijing circle, it does not mean that Sun Niangniang has no relationship with the Shanghai circle.

The movies she starred in, such as "Painted Skin", "Robot Man" and "Guan Yunchang", seem to be Hong Kong circle resources on the surface, but in fact, the main or even the first producer is Shanghai Film.

So it is not difficult to understand why Sun Niangniang, who seems to be more closely tied to the Beijing and Hong Kong circles, is always considered a part of the Shanghai circle, and even a figure of appearance in the later period.

Although everyone cooperates for the sake of interests first, it is inevitable that there is a bonus of native place in this regional circle.

People born and raised in Shanghai can mix well in the Shanghai circle, and those born in Beijing are naturally more likely to be favored by big men in the Beijing circle than those born in other regions.

This is also human nature. People from the same hometown and customs are easier to get close to.

Wei Yang himself also has a better impression of people from Shandong Province. Blue Whale director Zhang Yongxin has not been in the company for long, but now he is highly valued, and even has the momentum to overshadow Li Muge who joined earlier. It is hard to say that his identity as a native of Zaoshi City has no bonus.

Although Sun Niangniang has little connection with the Shanghai circle, if she is willing to come back, with her qualifications and her good origin, she can immediately become a flag of the Shanghai circle.

At this time, Sun Niangniang, who just married Deng Chao last year and has settled in Shanghai, has already made relevant plans.

This can also be seen from her previous life. Since "Hot Mom", every drama of hers has been premiered or even exclusively broadcast on Shanghai TV, and she has won two consecutive Magnolia Awards for Best Actress, one of which was even a "supplementary award".

The much-anticipated "Empresses in the Palace" did not win the Best Actress, but the second year, she defeated Mei Ting of "Parents' Love" with the ordinary family drama "Hot Mom", claiming to have made up for a Best Actress.

The issue of making up the bonus is outrageous. The win or loss is over, why should it be made up, and why can only Sun Niangniang make up the bonus?

Wei Yang didn't want to talk about the tricks here, and Sun Niangniang and her husband came here this time, ostensibly for a gathering, but in fact it was a bit like paying respects to the mountain.

Now in the Shanghai circle, especially on the small screen, apart from those with official backgrounds, the private sector basically respects Wei Yang, and even some large companies have to sell some face.

Putting aside his strength and reputation, his relationship with Shanghai TV is not something that ordinary people can compare with.

Even though Sun Niangniang filmed "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Blue Whale's several hits are not much different, and at Wei Yang's level, Shanghai's origin is not a problem.

Even for the couple, as both actors, they have not thought about cooperating with Blue Whale.

So Sun Niangniang and her husband were very humble this time, and Wei Yang did not put on airs. The couple still have some skills, and many projects are promising. Now they are willing to get close, and everyone can cooperate to make money.
