Chapter 594: Liu Shishi's Super Comeback Against the Wind

In the evening, in a small restaurant

Wei Yang, with greasy hair, sloppy beard and fat cheeks, held a cigarette in his hand and explained to a group of thin men wearing masks.

"We will sell it like this in the future. In principle, it is low-key. If something goes wrong, no one will have to eat it. Is there any problem?"

The men's eyes wandered, and a man with sunken eye sockets said hesitantly: "The medicine is still a bit expensive."

As soon as this was said, everyone joined in, complaining, groaning, and lamenting, hoping that the price could be cut down. Wei Yang took the cigarette in his mouth, glanced at it, and impatiently stopped everyone's discussion.

"Did I sell it for 30,000 or 20,000? Five thousand yuan is still too expensive for you, and the genuine one is 37,000. Do I want this amount? Still think it's expensive? Then just don't eat it."

"Also, can you take off your masks when talking to me? I can't tell who is who. Do you understand the rules?"

Wei Yang's strong question shocked everyone. I brought the medicine. If you listen to me, you can take the medicine. Otherwise, get out.

Tan Zhuo explained carefully: "Brother Yong, this is a sterile environment, it's not convenient for them."

"It's a sterile environment, right? Okay, then take them all."

Wei Yang sneered, slowly smoked a cigarette, stopped talking, and the scene became quiet.

This is a silent game!

When the two sides first met, there was no friendship at all, and everyone was looking at the benefits.

The patients joined forces to put pressure on the price reduction, and Wei Yang seized their pain points and forced everyone to bow their heads. In essence, he still established his own dominant position in this transaction.

Cheng Yong in "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is not a good person. He opened his own store, had a bad temper, dared to smuggle drugs abroad, and was an out-and-out old man in the world.

So he is very familiar with this kind of bargaining scene. After making it clear that he has an absolute advantage, it is easy to grasp the situation.

However, Cheng Yong is not a bad person.

After forcing everyone to take off their masks, seeing their pale faces and unable to bear the scene of coughing in the sterile environment, he still softened his heart, with a flickering look in his eyes with a bit of embarrassment, and pinched out the cigarette in his hand.

"Put it on, and I'll give your group leader a 20% discount at most."

These details reflect the brilliance of humanity in Cheng Yong's character in the movie, paving the way for the transformation later in the movie.

Although the movie "Dying to Survive" has a prototype, it has been adapted a lot in the script creation.

Especially the role of the male protagonist Cheng Yong, the prototype Lu Yong was sick, and then went to India to buy generic drugs. Other patients knew to ask him to help bring the drugs, and later more and more. During this period, Lu Yong was just a purchasing agent, and did not make any profit from it.

From a realistic perspective, Lu Yong did nothing wrong, and he could even be called a "hero", but when it was adapted into a movie, the plot was too bland.

So Cheng Yong became a normal person in the movie, and even a "bad guy" with "all five poisons" in the early stage.

The patient's identity will make him more empathetic to the patients tortured by high-priced drugs, and everyone will keep each other warm, but a normal person who is outside will not have so much experience.

The original purpose of selling drugs was to make money, and there were no other noble ideas. Even if he made enough money and was afraid of risks, he would withdraw.

Such a person is not only more realistic, but also makes the subsequent sublimation more shocking.

Because of the transformation, he began to help patients selflessly as a normal person, from a villain to a saint, from a human to a god. Such a reversal of first suppressing and then praising is very emotionally infectious from an artistic point of view, and it is also the biggest climax of the whole movie.

If "Dying to Survive" was shot according to the prototype, perhaps the reputation would still be good, but the commercial attributes would be greatly reduced.

However, in this way, it is inevitable that some damage would be done to the image of the prototype.

After all, although Lu Yong is a patient, there are reasons for it, but he has never made a profit from it. The character of Cheng Yong is partially smeared.

In the previous life, when "Dying to Survive" was popular, the prototype came out to express dissatisfaction and even wanted to go to court.

So before filming, Wei Yang went to find the prototype Lu Yong, moved him with emotion and reason, and said that he would solemnly clarify it after the release, and donate a certain amount of money in the name of the crew to help such patients.

To be honest, there are many cases where the crew and the prototype or even some descendants fall out. Most people do it for money, but some people are different.

For example, Lu Yong was the "Drug God" back then. He valued righteousness over profit. What he wanted was not money, but respect and reputation.

If the crew had said hello in advance, had a good tone and could discuss things, and had a solution, Lu Yong would not have had to go against you.

"Cut, very good."

Director Wen Muye called out the instruction to pause. As for whether this would pass or not, he had no say, and had to get the nod from Boss Wei.

Wen Muye, a graduate student from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, has been a director and screenwriter, but he is not famous. Before that, he had always been shooting short films and micro-films.

It was not until last year that he shot a feature film, and it was directed by multiple people, and the work did not have any outstanding performance.

This guy was able to become the director of "Drug God" with this qualification in his previous life, largely because of Ning Hao's [Bad Monkey 72 Transformations Film Plan].

The original intention of this plan was to discover new generation filmmakers and signed many young film directors and a large number of screenwriters.

"Dying to Survive" is the most successful project of this plan, and it was followed by "All or Nothing", as well as some good commercial and art films.

Overall, this plan is quite successful and has indeed cultivated a group of new generation Chinese filmmakers.

But now this plan has been intercepted by Boss Wei, or in other words, he cultivated new filmmakers earlier than Ning Hao.

Su Lun and Tian Yusheng of "Time Travel Cohabitation" have not yet made it, while the latter already has the "Ex-Files" series with good results.

Yan Fei and Peng Damo of "Detective Chinatown" were also promoted by Wei Yang, and now they have handed in the answer sheet of "Charlotte's Troubles".

In addition to the above-mentioned people, they have worked with Boss Wei.

Director Xue Xiaolu, who has become famous for "Beijing Loves Seattle" in the past two years, is also supported by Boss Wei.

Before this, this female director only directed one work, "Ocean Paradise", and strictly speaking, she is not a famous director.

Although "The Pancake Man" has a bad reputation, director Dapeng was also given a chance by Boss Wei.

There are also Wu Jing and Deng Chao, who have changed from actors to directors and made some achievements, and they have also received the support of Boss Wei.

Of course, the most noteworthy person is Xu Zheng. It was not long before Boss Wei entered the film industry, but he was able to use Xu Zheng against all odds, which eventually led to the box office miracle of "Lost in Thailand".

Because of the legendary nature of "Lost in Thailand", Wei Yang's subsequent promotion was less talked about.

But no matter what, Boss Wei is famous in the film industry for daring to use newcomers, and not only daring to use them, but also using them well.

All new generation filmmakers dream of being noticed by Boss Wei, working for him, and gaining both fame and fortune.

Therefore, Wei Yang did not grandly launch any 72 transformation plans, but just asked Blue Whale to launch a support project that values ​​young filmmakers, and countless heroes came to invest.

Wen Muye was picked out by Boss Wei at this opportunity.

Invisibly, it became a typical case of Boss Wei's reuse of newcomers and tapping into new forces in the film industry.

But Wen Muye is a new director after all, lacking confidence and courage, and the "Dying to Survive" crew is actually controlled by the producer Wei Yang.

Wei Yang used to be willing to give the director power, but this time he paid more attention to "Dying to Survive", and Wen Muye really couldn't control the situation, so he asked more questions.

This is also a bit similar to the situation of the original version of the movie in the previous life.

Although Wen Muye was the director at that time, the leading actor Xu Zheng was a big boss + famous director + producer, and there was also a supervisor Ning Hao above him, so he didn't have much actual power.

Now that the two mothers-in-law have become one mother-in-law, and Wei Yang is his mentor and nobleman, Wen Muye's mentality may be much better than in his previous life.

Wei Yang came over to watch the playback and nodded, and Wen Muye announced that this line had passed, and the crew's work for today was also finished.

"You are almost a drama tyrant."

In the dressing room, Liu Shishi, who came to visit the set, just watched the shooting scene and complained about Wen Muye's frustration as a director, but Wei Yang didn't care.

"You just found out."

The TV series is fine, with a large volume and a lot of material. Except for some major plays, even Boss Wei can't review every scene or shot, and the director still has a lot of autonomy.

The movie is different. The total length is only two hours. Even if there are more materials, the volume is there.

Most of the shots and performances are exquisite and strive for perfection. The director's autonomy is inevitably encroached. Even when filming "Wushuang" and cooperating with famous directors such as Gao Qunshu, Wei Yang also has absolute say.

Of course, when dealing with famous directors, Wei Yang has to show his attitude, and everyone can talk and discuss.

Even if it is a new director, Wei Yang will generally take care of his face and will not treat him as a puppet. If they have ideas and say the right thing, Wei Yang will listen.

It's just that Wen Muye suddenly took over and was a little too cautious. He was afraid that he would be replaced by Wei Yang, so he was a bit of a yes-man. It should be better after getting familiar with Wei Yang's character.

However, no matter what, Wei Yang's behavior is absolutely an absolute "drama tyrant" in the professional ecology of the Chinese film industry, which is centered on directors.

There are also rumors and resentments among the public and his colleagues at the same time, and Boss Wei has long been accustomed to it.

Be a tyrant!

After working hard to climb to this position, if he doesn't become a drama tyrant, can he become a submissive wife?

…

Liu Shishi came, and Wei Yang did not return to the hotel where the crew was at night, but went to a high-end community.

As one of the important cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, Boss Wei naturally has real estate in Jinling, and more than one.

Wei Yang has not come to Jinling many times, but he basically lives in this community every time he comes, because the angle overlooking the river view is very good, allowing him to feel the difference between the Yangtze River in Jinling City and the Huangpu River in the Magic City.

Liu Shishi came once when promoting "Celebrating Yu Nian". She was not curious about the house, but hid in the room and didn't know what she was busy with.

Wei Yang did not bother her. Although she was visiting the set this time, it was actually a separation. The crew of "Witch" would start filming soon. They both had their own work, so it would take at least a month for them to see each other again.

A short separation is better than a new marriage. The moment of separation is also the time when the fire is burning the most. This little girl might be preparing some surprises.

Turning on the TV, Wei Yang tuned to the Hunan Provincial TV Station. Today was not only Liu Shishi's visit to the set, but also the live broadcast of the Golden Eagle Awards.

Logically, Liu Shishi and Wei Yang should go to Xingcheng today. Both of them were nominated for "Nirvana in Fire" and "Legend of Dance and Music".

However, Boss Wei won too many Golden Eagle Awards, and he didn't want to be distracted, so he didn't go.

Liu Shishi has also won the Golden Eagle Grand Slam, and she is not obsessed with this award. More importantly, Da Mimi is the Golden Eagle Goddess of this year, and Zhao Liying's "The Story of Ming Palace" is expected to win another gold cup.

One is a mortal enemy, and the other is a younger sister under her command. Liu Shishi, who has a low chance of winning the award, does not want to be a foil for the two.

This year's Golden Eagle Awards are star-studded, and the Blue Whale series is even more brilliant.

First, Lu Han, Zhang Ruoyun, Tang Yan, Qiao Zhenyu, and the two beauties of Xinjiang Province killed the red carpet one by one.

Then Da Mimi, the Golden Eagle Goddess, made a stunning appearance at the opening ceremony, radiating charm.

Da Mimi's battle robe this time was designed by the Hunan Provincial TV Station. It has a bit of Thai style, very gorgeous, wearing a crown on her head, flaming red lips, a slim golden long skirt, and a long cape behind her, which makes her look more graceful.

Boss Wei felt a little hot in his heart, and remembered the battle robe 404 private picture that Da Mimi secretly sent him before.

I wonder if her request to keep the battle robe privately will be granted?

Da Mimi is not only proud of the Golden Eagle Goddess, but also took the opportunity to win the first place in the vote and won the Popularity Crystal Cup. Unfortunately, the Golden Eagle Award was restructured and there are only two gold cups this year, otherwise Da Mimi might have been able to win the Grand Slam.

Zhao Liying, on the other hand, grabbed a gold cup among a group of competitors with the popular "The Story of Ming Palace" this year.

The other gold cup went to Tong Yaya. Her "Ordinary World" is not very popular, but she can't resist the halo of serious drama and famous works, which allowed her to rise to the top.

The gold cups for male actors went to Wang Lei in "Ordinary World" and Zhu Yawen in "Red Sorghum". Wei Yang's "Nirvana in Fire" was not ignored and won a Popularity Crystal Cup.

This result is dispensable for Wei Yang, but it is not very good for Liu Shishi.

Zhao Liying, who is competing against each other, has one more bargaining chip.

Moreover, up to now, this year's film and television dramas are basically clear. "The Story of Ming Palace" has achieved remarkable results, which can be said to have taken Zhao Liying to a higher level.

Da Mimi, who has been suppressed for several years, finally raised her head at the Golden Eagle Awards this year. Although she did not do her best, she was also very successful.

The increasingly powerful Zhao Liying + Da Mimi who made up for the shortcomings, Wei Yang felt a little headache for Liu Shishi.

And don't forget that Fan Xiaopang is still eyeing her covetously, and Tang Yan is not a pushover either. What's more worth mentioning is Na Zha, who turned over with the online drama, and Rouba, who has risen comprehensively.

Especially Rouba, whose new drama "Love O2O" has been broadcast for less than a week, and the popularity has already been revealed.

His popularity has increased greatly. It can be seen from today's awards ceremony that Rouba has been in the spotlight constantly, even surpassing Tong Yaya who won the award.

Looking at this posture, Tang Yan is likely to be a runner-up in the next Golden Eagle Goddess, and Di Li Rouba may be the newcomer to break the monopoly of 85 flowers.

The bedroom door opened, and Liu Shishi walked over with a sullen face. Wei Yang quickly turned off the TV to avoid being implicated.

Just as he was about to change the subject, Liu Shishi handed him a mobile phone with a WeChat chat page on it, with only a few words.

[I won again this time]

Wei Yang's scalp was numb because he was too familiar with this WeChat avatar. He had sent a message to it just now when they were having dinner. It was Zhao Liying, Liu Shishi's mortal enemy.

In fact, Wei Yang also knew that the two had contacted each other privately, but he didn't expect that it was also sarcastic.

Isn't this looking for trouble?

Boss Wei was trying to find a way to get himself out, but he didn't expect Liu Shishi to breathe a sigh of relief, put down the phone, and then took out something. Boss Wei took a look and his face changed wildly.

"Is this...pregnant?!"

Looking at the two bright red bars, Wei Yang's blood rushed up. Liu Shishi nodded and explained.

"I haven't had my period this month, so I took a test. It should be the time when you were lazy at home. I didn't take medicine afterwards. I came to visit you this time, actually I just want to talk to you about this."

Boss Wei felt a little dizzy. No wonder Liu Shishi hid in the room just now. I guess she didn't think about what to say.

He thought it was a "surprise", but it turned out to be such a big surprise.

Liu Shishi stared into Wei Yang's eyes: "Are you going to have a baby?"

"Of course!"

Wei Yang didn't hesitate at all, and Liu Shishi's originally nervous and serious expression also eased. Her fingers gently stroked her abdomen, and her eyes flashed with tenderness.

However, this news was too sudden, even with Wei Yang's psychological quality, it was a bit unbearable.

After being at a loss for a while, he carefully helped Liu Shishi sit down, then went to the bathroom to wash his face, intending to wake up.

Liu Shishi, who was left behind, looked at the pregnancy test stick in her hand, and then looked at Zhao Liying's WeChat message, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

"Sorry, I won this time!"
