Chapter 73 Top Influencers Are Also Investment Geniuses

The popularity of the TV series "Gu Jian Qi Tan" was phenomenal.

The popularity gained by the creative team through this drama is a significant step forward in their respective careers.

With increased popularity, the compensation naturally needs to keep up.

Before the last time Gu Jian aired, Hunan TV specially arranged a Happy Camp trip for the main creative team to promote the drama, but they were only given the treatment of supporting roles and background, while the real guest was a Korean male star.

Fortunately, Wang Weili used a summoning spell to send Yang Mi over to support the show, which gave the Gu Jian drama its first wave of buzz.

Now that Gu Jian has premiered on Hunan TV, the popular creative team has been invited back to Happy Camp.

Wang Weili, the male lead, also made time to participate in the recording.

Compared to the last time, the atmosphere during the recording of Happy Camp this time was noticeably more relaxed and friendly.

Even Xie Na, who usually makes things difficult for the guests, joined He Jiong's group today, chatting and joking with the guests in small groups.

Wang Weili stood in the center position of the main cast, without deliberately speaking or responding to jokes, but the camera kept focusing on him and Yang Mi, only occasionally turning to the sides.

This means that hosts like He Jiong and Xie Na must focus most of their attention on them.

It mainly comes down to Wang Weili.

"Willie, you don't seem to talk much."

He Jiong's sudden remarks drew the attention of everyone else as well.

Wang Weili glanced at the teleprompter the production team had brought out and joined He Jiong in a chat.

"Maybe it's because it's my first time on Happy Camp, I'm a little nervous."

Yang Mi almost rolled her eyes at those words.

Good heavens, how could you possibly be nervous about going on TV!

Naza, standing to the side, smiled without saying a word, sensing that Wang Weili was about to start conning people again.

He Jiong didn't know Wang Weili, but he was still able to readily accept good advice.

"I just feel that your performance today is very different from how you were on the phone last time. So, does Willie usually interact with fewer people on set?"

This time, the people whose expressions changed were Chen Weiting, Ma Tianyu, Gao Weiguang... these important supporting male characters.

Did Wang Weili rarely interact with people on the set of Gu Jian?

Yes, no.

Because the people he dealt with were Naza, Reba, and Yang Mi, among whom Yang Mi even took the initiative to come to him.

Then, the men really rarely interacted with him.

Wang Weili said with an unchanged expression, "That depends on how you define it. When filming, I often run into my senior brother in the rehearsal room on set, but we rarely communicate at other times."

"Yes! Every time I went to the training room, I would see Willie practicing swordsmanship. And when filming, he didn't use a stunt double; he did all the action scenes himself."

Chen Weiting offered his corroboration, subtly praising Wang Weili.

He Jiong and the other hosts followed suit with a barrage of awkward praise.

Wang Weili reluctantly went along with it, but deep down he didn't quite understand what was so praiseworthy about an actor doing a good job with the basics.

If he didn't have ulterior motives, he wouldn't have come to record this show and act alongside us today...

After the awkward praise ended, He Jiong started to come up with new topics, and this time he finally chose the content that Wang Weili wanted to talk about.

"I remember last time we talked on the phone, Willie, you said you were at work..."

When He Jiong got to this point, his voice was full of doubt and disbelief, and the audience members who were arranged to be there exclaimed as if they had timed it perfectly.

Xie Na readily chimed in, "You must be joking, right?"

The remaining three hosts chimed in with their agreement.

Under the deliberate arrangement of the production team, the five hosts of Happy Family took turns to imbue the topic of "Wang Weili going to work" with sufficient emotion and anticipation.

They clearly wanted to make this topic the biggest highlight of the episode.

Coincidentally, Wang Weili had the same idea.

"I'm not kidding, I really was at work at the time."

Wang Weili looked around and said very solemnly.

Now, the audience, the five members of the Happy Family, and the other actors from the Gu Jian drama crew all became curious.

Speaking on behalf of everyone's expectations, He Jiong asked, "Were you filming a new drama at the time, or preparing for your next project?"

"Neither of those. My work has nothing to do with the film and television industry."

Wang Weili continued to whet people's appetites, gradually raising the level of anticipation at the scene.

He Jiong pressed on, "So what exactly is your job? Can you tell us about it?"

"It's no secret; many of my employees already know I'm an actor."

Wang Weili spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

He Jiong exclaimed in astonishment, "You own a company?!"

"No, no, I didn't drive it..."

"Oh~~"

"I only invested a portion and then played a role in planning the company's future strategic development."

Planning the company's future strategic development—these words sound very sophisticated, and when combined, they seem even more impressive.

He Jiong stared wide-eyed, as if he were completely stunned by the news.

Xie Na and the other three were like underlings watching their elder brother get stuck, stunned and unsure how to react.

The cast of "Swords of Legends," including Yang Mi, were all looking at Wang Weili with curiosity, surprise, suspicion, and contempt.

For a moment, the entire room fell silent until He Jiong regained his professional hosting skills and began asking questions again.

"Willie, how's the size of the company you invested in?"

"It's alright. When we first started last year, there were only four people..."

Wang Weili, with his cunning nature, deliberately paused here.

Those who were initially surprised, upon hearing about the company's size, instinctively began to show disdain and ridicule.

Even professional actors, caught off guard by such rapid reversals, will inevitably reveal their true thoughts.

Before anyone could speak, Wang Weili changed the subject again: "We acquired a company at the beginning of this year, and now the number of employees has exceeded 50."

"50 people!"

Yang Mi exclaimed in surprise, realizing that the company Wang Weili mentioned must be the one she had helped promote last year.

Does this kid have such a good eye for investment?

He Jiong smacked his lips and said, "Willie, the companies you invest in are developing so fast, do you have any management secrets?"

"The key is to catch the right trend and get investment from big companies."

"Which big company is it?"

"Ah Li".

Wang Weili's two lightly uttered words were like a heavy hammer blow to everyone's hearts.

He Jiong stammered as he confirmed, "It's... that Ah Li from Hangzhou?"

"Yes! The company I invested in focuses on online ride-hailing services, which can complement Ali's business segments, so they invested in it."

Wang Weili thought about it for a while, but ultimately decided not to report Ma Yun's name.

He made this public today not only because he felt his identity as an investor would be exposed sooner or later, but also to use the Happy Camp program to bring down his company!

He has already surprised the production team enough; mentioning Ma Yun's name again would be superfluous.

He Jiong endured a tremendous sense of psychological upheaval as he looked at Wang Weili, the newly crowned top male celebrity, and asked this investment genius a question.

What's the name of the company you invested in?

"The app is called Kuaidi Dache (快滴打车). I think they have sales representatives here in Tancheng. You guys should have used it, right?"
