Chapter 17 When Yang Cai Ni called, Zhai Wei was enjoying Wen Yong Shan!
"Wei Ge, Zidan Ge, Dad is waiting for you in his office!"
A tall man walked over to personally greet Liu Wei and Zhen Zidan.
With Yang Shou Cheng's position in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, it was naturally impossible for him to personally greet them.
Although the Yang family was not as low-key and wealthy as the Liu family, they were still very powerful.
As Yang Shou Cheng's second son, Yang Zheng Long personally coming out to greet them was a sign of great respect.
After all, Yang Zheng Long was the future heir of Ying Huang Group!
"I remember you were very thin when you were a kid, but you were very bold on set. I kept re-shooting a scene, and you asked the director to replace me."
Liu Wei raised his hand and patted Yang Zheng Long, who was the same age as his wife.
He was smiling, but his eyes were cold.
“……”
With that pat, Yang Zheng Long, caught off guard, almost fell to his knees!
"Are you alright?!"
Zhen Zidan, quick as a flash, quickly supported him.
He had personally experienced how powerful Liu Wei was.
Although the second son of the Yang family wasn't as dissolute as his older brother, spending his health on debauchery, he was still no match for Liu Wei!
"Wei Ge, I was young and didn't know any better back then."
Yang Zheng Long apologized with a smile, bowing his head.
After all, Liu Wei wasn't just an entertainer, his father was even more powerful than his own father, he couldn't afford to offend him.
He couldn't help but think back to how ignorant he was in his younger years.
"I was just mentioning it casually, nothing more!"
Liu Wei withdrew his hand and let Yang Zheng Long lead the way.
……
The other Ying Huang artists saw this scene, their expressions varied. They didn't expect Liu Wei to be so vengeful!
He was not someone to be trifled with.
……
"Mr. Yang, how's your health lately? I got married, and you didn't come to my wedding."
Once inside the office, Liu Wei took the tea that his father had brought.
"I'm old now, my strength is not what it used to be. You have to understand an old man. Besides, didn't Zheng Long represent me? Zheng Long, go make some tea!"
Yang Shou Cheng said to his second son, before turning to Liu Wei and saying, "You've changed a lot, I barely recognize you. You used to be a bit wooden, not good at talking."
"People change. Besides, my dad is getting older, he can't handle everything forever. I have to take up the responsibility."
Liu Wei said.
"Friendship is friendship, business is business. We still need to settle the accounts for the project, point by point."
Yang Shou Cheng said.
"Good, that's what I meant. Zidan Ge and I have discussed it, 125 million, we'll each bear half. Ying Huang, Wei Mi Media, Zidan Culture, we'll invest together. If you have no problem, we'll sign the contract today."
Liu Wei said.
"Just doing this one project? I think we can go big, make a series of action movies. With the strength you've shown, you have great potential!"
Yang Shou Cheng said.
Liu Wei knew that this old fox would say this. He was now so powerful. If One Man's Martial Arts became a huge hit, he would rise to the top in one step.
At that time, the value of his IP would skyrocket! (See Zhen Zidan's Ip Man series)
However, how could Liu Wei fall for it?
He was starring in One Man's Martial Arts because it was suitable, filming could start after the new year, allowing him to rise to the top as soon as possible!
After that, he could make his own projects, no need to let others share in the spoils.
"Mr. Yang, you have so much faith in me. But I don't want the company to take such a big risk. So, expanding the project is unnecessary. Let's start with One Man's Martial Arts and test the waters. If the response is good, there will definitely be opportunities for cooperation."
Liu Wei said.
"Good, that's it, let's finalize the signing today."
Yang Shou Cheng said.
……
After signing the contract, Zhen Zidan went to the company to meet Chen De Sen, to polish some details and prepare for filming.
While talking to Chen De Sen, Yang Cai Ni walked in.
"Director Chen, Zidan Ge, what do you mean? It was agreed that I would play Inspector Lu Xuan Xin, why was it changed to Zhang Li, an unknown actress from mainland China?"
Yang Cai Ni, already a famous actress, immediately erupted after her manager told her she had been replaced.
"You misunderstood, it wasn't us who replaced you, it was Mr. Yang."
Zhen Zidan explained.
"Why did he replace me?"
Yang Cai Ni's face changed.
"Mr. Yang is very optimistic about Liu Wei, he believes that he will become successful. In order to ensure a smooth future cooperation, he did a favor, letting him choose an actress from the company to play Lu Xuan Xin."
Zhen Zidan said.
"I'm going to see Wei Di!"
Yang Cai Ni couldn't sit still anymore.
With age, her resources were being squeezed, competition was becoming more intense.
Now she had become a sacrifice, she was unwilling to accept it.
……
The parking lot of Violet Mountain near Repulse Bay.
Inside an SUV, Liu Wei was being served!
The one serving him was Wen Yong Shan!
"Janice, why are you doing this? I'm not even sure if I can make it big. Why do you have such high hopes for me?"
Liu Wei said, while smoothing Wen Yong Shan's hair.
"I, I have high hopes for you!"
Wen Yong Shan looked up, her tone firm, then she lowered her head again.
She was really desperate. She was not valued in Ying Huang. Although she was young, she was always given supporting roles.
These small, insignificant roles, no matter how many she played, wouldn't make a difference.
She had no chance to get ahead!
She wasn't stupid, Hong Kong movies were on the decline, no longer at their peak. The mainland Chinese film market was now booming. If someone could guide her, it would be much better.
She wanted to change companies, to join Wei Mi Media Group.
"You're putting in so much effort. It would be really unfair to you if I didn't give you something in return. Okay, I'll find a chance to bring you over, and sign you to Wei Mi Media."
Liu Wei said.
"Wei Ge, thank you."
Wen Yong Shan, seeing that her efforts had been rewarded, became even more dedicated. She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Wei Ge, I'm safe today~"
"Hmm."
……
While Liu Wei was enjoying Wen Yong Shan on Violet Mountain, his phone rang.
He frowned slightly when he saw Yang Cai Ni's call.
He had already guessed why she was calling him.
Her role as Inspector Lu Xuan Xin had been taken away!
With her current resources, how could she not be anxious.
But being anxious was useless. For actresses in the entertainment industry, once they got older, their choices became very limited.
Whether you're needed or not, you have no say in the matter.
Because the value of an older actress is far less than a young actress with potential.
Like the one in front of him!
"Sister, you need something?"
Liu Wei answered the phone while still busy.
"Do you even know I'm your sister? That's how you treat me? You replaced my role, have you forgotten that you're also a Hong Kong artist? We're on the same side!"
Yang Cai Ni exploded.
"Hmm."
Liu Wei continued his activities.
"What are you doing, I'm talking to you."
Yang Cai Ni felt something was wrong with his tone.
"Almost there, you wait a moment."
Liu Wei said, then put the phone aside.
Only after he finished did he pick up the phone again.
"Wei Di, you're deliberately humiliating me!"
Yang Cai Ni was completely furious.
"Alright, let's talk business. You said we're on the same side, I disagree. I'm now the boss of Wei Mi Media, of course, I need to look out for my own artists' benefits. Why else would they follow me? It was Mr. Yang who took the initiative to be nice to me, it wasn't me who took the initiative to replace you. You need to understand that!"
Liu Wei said coldly.
If she had talked to him nicely, maybe Zhai Wei would have helped her get a role, or given her a role in the future.
Now she's coming at him with questions, acting like he's obligated to do something?
A woman who doesn't understand anything!

Don't forget to give flowers and review votes!
Brothers, this is a must-have!
