Huayu: We're asking you to act, and you're playing a superhuman?

Upon returning to the studio from the airport, Yang Mi hadn't even had a sip of water when she was greeted by Zeng Jia's warm welcome.

"Honey, Huanrui's new drama is a fantasy drama, which will be perfect for boosting its popularity."

"The directors are all acquaintances, and the newcomers the company just signed can also get some recognition in the show."

"I originally wanted to help Dilraba get the second female lead role, but someone else got it instead..."

Yang Mi didn't listen to his rambling at all; she only cared about one thing.

Who is the male lead?

Zeng Jia was stunned for a moment, then quickly flipped through the documents sent by Huanrui.

"Hmm, he's a newcomer, but not entirely new. He acted in a drama that just finished airing this year, and the ratings were decent..."

"Just tell me the name, I'll look it up myself!"

Yang Mi took out her phone and said impatiently.

Zeng Jia compared the photo information with the document: "His name is Wang Weili."

Yang Mi quickly typed in the information, first looking at the news entry, then at the Baidu Encyclopedia entry.

Upon seeing this, her expression immediately became beaming with joy.

"The newcomers signed by Sugar Man Entertainment were put into making a name for themselves, but as soon as they became famous, they terminated their contracts and went solo. Tsk tsk, Cai Yinong must be furious!"

"That's right."

Zeng Jia chimed in, explaining, "I specifically looked up Wang Weili's information and found a few interesting points."

"How so?"

Yang Mi raised an eyebrow, her interest instantly piqued.

"You don't know what kind of tactics Sugar People use! But the process of Wang Weili terminating his contract went unusually smoothly. Apart from the initial rumors on Weibo that he was two-timing, Sugar People hardly did anything to smear him, which is not like their usual style at all."

"Just a few days after the rumor was posted, Sugar Man held a press conference to clarify it for him in person. Wang Weili and Cai Yinong even put on a show of parting amicably at the press conference."

Zeng Jia pursed his lips with a sigh: "This person is not simple."

"That's really interesting."

Yang Mi stared at Wang Weili's photo and thought to herself, "He's quite a handsome guy!"

"Sister Jia, after Wang Weili terminated his contract with Sugarman, he signed with H&R Century Pictures?"

"He established his own studio and is not affiliated with Huanrui."

Zeng Jia's face showed even more emotion, feeling that Wang Weili also saw the booming future of the film and television industry, which was why he jumped out to set up his own studio in advance, giving the impression of a close friend.

Yang Mi exclaimed in shock: "Has Huanrui changed its business to charity? They gave him the male lead role without any vested interest whatsoever?"

"That's not quite right..."

"What happened?"

"First of all, Wang Weili invested in this drama. Secondly, the drama is adapted from a game, and the film and television adaptation rights are also in Wang Weili's hands. Wang Weili is not only the male lead, but also the producer and executive producer of the drama."

Zeng Jia revealed Wang Weili's most important identities.

Yang Mi stopped and leaned closer to Zeng Jia, whispering, "His surname is Wang, could he be someone's younger brother?"

"That's definitely not it. The information says that Wang Weili grew up in Shenzhen and went to Shanghai for university. He was a top student and has absolutely no connection with that principal."

Zeng Jia denied that she was surprised when she first received the information.

Yang Mi's guess might be based on her own fantasies.

After carefully reviewing the information, it was finally determined that the two men could not possibly hit each other on the same side.

Yang Mi became even more curious after learning that he wasn't a super-rich second-generation heir experiencing life in the entertainment industry.

"He's a newcomer, signed with Sugar Man Entertainment, and luckily debuted with 'Xuan-Yuan Sword.' His acting fees aren't much, and he hasn't even had time to secure endorsements. Where would he get the money to buy the rights to invest in a TV series?"

Yang Mi is someone who has truly been in the entertainment industry and knows that money is not easy to earn in this field.

She works herself to the bone all year round, and it would be great if she could earn tens of millions in film and endorsement fees. Then half of that is taxed, money is spent on supporting her team, and other expenses are added, leaving her with just over 1000 million.

Even this is the treatment she received after becoming a top star thanks to "Palace". Before that, she was under the management of an agency and was exploited at every level. She was lucky if she made a million or so a year.

It took Yang Mi almost ten years to get to where she is today, but she still can't become a producer and executive producer for major production teams.

Setting up a small film crew is possible, but that's purely for personal enjoyment...

Why was Wang Wei-li allowed to become a producer?

Yang Mi's mind went blank, and she asked a stupid question.

Zeng Jia gave her a strange look: "Didn't I just say that he owns the film and television adaptation rights to the project? Huanrui can't bypass him to produce it."

"I know... What I'm asking is, how did he even think of buying film and television adaptation rights? How did he have the money to invest in a TV series?"

"Hmm... it might be related to his educational background."

"Educational background?"

Yang Mi quickly scrolled through her phone and found the information in Wang Weili's education section.

"Shanghai Jiao Tong University? No, what would a top student from Shanghai Jiao Tong University do in the entertainment industry?"

"His academic qualifications only prove that he has a high IQ; they have nothing to do with whether he's in the entertainment industry or not. Besides, aren't there also top students in the industry who graduated from Tsinghua University?"

Zeng Jia doesn't seem to care much about higher education.

What she values ​​most is Wang Weili's investment acumen and development strategy.

The other party first used the sugar man as a springboard to successfully enter the industry with the movie "Xuan-Yuan Sword". Then, they used some unknown method to terminate the contract and then brought out a project they had prepared in advance to seek the next step of development.

The entire process was seamless, with each step linked to the next, and no unnecessary actions were taken.

Zeng Jia felt that if Wang Weili didn't have a master mentor behind him, then this young man was far too cunning.

Yang Mi calmed her complicated emotions and said, "You just said you wanted to help Dilraba get a supporting role, but the role was already assigned to someone else?"

"right!"

"Could it be?"

"That's him!"

Zeng Jia flipped through the documents and revealed Nazha's introduction page: "The second female lead is a newcomer named Nazha. Actually, she's not that new. Nazha's first role was in a drama with Wang Weili."

"I remember this Naza!"

Yang Mi took the information from Zeng Jia's hand and stared at the photo of Na Zha on it: "When Tang Yan worked with Sugar Man last year, she complained to me that Cai Yinong cheated her by giving a newcomer more screen time than her, and that was Na Zha."

"I never expected that Cai Yinong would actually release him."

Zeng Jia gave Yang Mi a meaningful look.

Back when Yang Mi was cast as the female lead in the "Chinese Paladin 3" project, Cai Yinong wanted to sign her, but Yang Mi stood her up, and the two sides never spoke to each other again.

Wang Weili has just tricked Tangren and Cai Yinong again, successfully terminating their contracts.

Casting them as the male and female leads in "Swords of Legends" is basically like having a close-up shot of Cai Yinong.

Under these circumstances, how did Cai Yinong manage to agree to let Nazha play the second female lead? What method did he use?

Yang Mi and Zeng Jia exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked at Wang Weili's photo, their faces showing interest.

"Sister Jia, please help Reba find a smaller role."

"Okay, I've already filed it. There's a junior sister role available."

"Nazar and Reba are from the same hometown, I wonder if they know each other..."

"If we know him, we can ask Reba to help us find out about Wang Weili."

Yang Mi and Zeng Jia's question-and-answer session was very tacit, and their final smiles at each other were even more meaningful.
