During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 201 Ning Hao’s new script and the dust settling

Ning Hao rarely invited Wei Jin to dinner, and it was at home.

Xing Aina cooks it himself, and the Sichuan cuisine that Wei Jin likes is delicious.

“Li Lian’s appeal is really strong.”

Wei Jin and Ning Hao are both directors, so they naturally talked about the movie market. Among the recently released movies, the most outstanding one is "The Mummy 3".

This movie was released on the 2nd, with a box office of 1800 million on the first day. Now after five days of release, the box office has already reached 7000 million.

"It's not a big deal in China. If you look at the box office abroad, you'll realize that its appeal is much higher than the previous two films."

One thing to say is that Li Lian's status in China may not be as good as that of Cheng Long, but internationally, his appeal is comparable.

"The Mummy 3" was released in North America in August, with a final box office of 8 million, and a global box office of nearly 1 million, which is much higher than the previous two films, and this was achieved under the strong suppression of "Now You See Me" , which shows Li Lian’s appeal.

"In terms of appeal, it has to be you, junior brother. You created a new series out of thin air and actually won the box office championship. It's amazing."

Ning Hao's words were full of envy. Although he is now a director worth 2 million, he is still far behind in terms of commercial achievements and awards.

"By the way, junior brother, do you really not care about your script?"

"Hunting" has been reviewed for more than a month. Logically speaking, the results should have been released a long time ago, but they are just dragging it out without saying it has passed or rejecting it. It is disgusting.

Originally, with Wei Jin's status, he could just find someone to smooth things over and the matter would be over. But Ning Hao knew that his junior brother had a bad intention and couldn't lower his head.

"No matter what, I will arrange for North America to start preparations in October at the most. To be honest, English films are better for winning awards, hehe."

Wei Jin was really speechless to this group of people. If he had just sent the script back, he might have given it a higher look. In this situation, it is obvious that they have forgotten their loyalty for small gains and cherished their lives for big things. They are a bunch of losers.

"Hey, that's just nonsense. I'm just making English films for fun, but others can't do anything with their methods. The review is in the hands of these people, and it's really a mess."

“Who says it’s not?”

The two of them exchanged glasses and started drinking. Xing Aina on the side couldn't help but give Ning Hao a roll of his eyes. Wei Jin's drinking capacity is something that you, a big guy like you, can handle?

Halfway through the meal, Ning Hao finally started talking about business.

"Junior brother, I have a book for winning prizes here. I asked someone to make the script. Take a look, you have more experience than me in this aspect."

Ning Hao seemed to be a little excited after drinking, which also showed that he was very optimistic about this book.

"Wei Jin, please help him read it. Ever since I got this script, I've been crazy."

Xing Aina complained at the side with her big belly.

Wei Jin nodded, took the script and started reading it.

Both the previous "Stone" and "Racing" were multi-line narratives, but this script is a single-line narrative, which is indeed not Ning Hao's style.

As he continued to read, Wei Jin began to frown.

After more than ten minutes, Wei Jin closed the script and felt helpless:

"Senior brother, we were talking about the review just now. I'm afraid there's a high chance that you won't be able to pass the test."

A script full of criticism and resistance that almost no director can resist. It is a typical type of film competing for awards.

Not sure if it was because of the alcohol, Ning Hao was a little disapproving, "I think it's okay."

Wei Jin didn't know what to say. Ning Hao also had a stubborn temper and it was difficult to turn back from something he had decided.

"Why don't we change the script? The ending will be brighter, like a world without thieves."

Wei Jin gave his own advice. It was true that Ning Hao was not alone now. He was too close to him and would inevitably be targeted.

What's more, this script itself is quite depressing, and if you hand it over, you'll probably be beaten back.

Ning Hao didn't say anything, and the atmosphere was a little tense. Xing Aina decisively changed the topic.
-

After Wei Jin left, the couple began to discuss.

"Mouse, I think what Wei Jin said makes sense. I'm afraid those old guys will also target you. Why don't you change it?"

Objectively speaking, Xing Aina approved Wei Jin's suggestion, and the latter had always been very good at avoiding scrutiny.

"If you don't change it, it won't taste the same if you change it. Just shoot it like this."

"But what should I do if the card is really reviewed?"

Xing Aina had nothing to do with her husband's stubborn temper and could only persuade him with kind words.

"Well, if we ask China Film Group to invest this time, they can't cover up everything with one hand, right?"

Ning Hao thought for a while and made a decision.

Wei Jin didn't want to clear up the relationship because he didn't want to bow his head, but Ning Hao didn't care. As long as he could win the prize, he didn't care.

Recruiting China Film Group can not only diversify investment risks, but also help with communication in terms of review, which is a good way.
-

On the other side, after Wei Jin left Ning Hao's house, he came to Zeng Li's villa and hadn't looked at Sister Li's sign for a while.

"Why are you here? I didn't even tell you in advance."

Zeng Li was pleasantly surprised to see Wei Jin's appearance.

"I missed you, so I came over to see you. How are you doing?"

After changing into slippers, Wei Jin took Zeng Li's hand and walked towards the house.

"Fortunately, teaching in school is quite relaxing. In my free time, I read books and drink tea. I even went back to my hometown during the summer vacation."

Zeng Li is also very satisfied with her current life, which is slow-paced, respected and free. "Well, if you like it, go ahead and turn on the water. It's been a long time since we took a bath together."

"Um"

The hot bathroom was filled with mist.

After making love, Zeng Li looked even more attractive, leaning against Wei Jin's chest with a flushed face.

"Xiaojin, Jingjing is getting married. Do you have time to go with me?"

"Oh? Sister Jing is getting married so soon?"

When he first heard the news, Wei Jin was in a daze. The woman who broke into his room wearing a black silk skirt was going to get married? She is a thought leader in entering the entertainment industry.

"Why so fast? I've been in love for two years, not to mention Jingjing is thirty, it's time to get married."

"Forget it, I won't go. The crew is also busy. Let Lao Zhu follow you then. You still have to pay attention to safety when you go out."

Wei Jin was a little afraid to face Hu Jing, although he knew that this woman was extremely free and easy.

"OK then"
-

The US$2.5 million Hollywood production not only touches the hearts of all actresses, but is also being discussed online.

This time we didn’t keep everyone waiting for too long. On the 10th, China Film announced the final audition results to the outside world through reporters.

Director Christopher Nolan negotiated with investors and finally chose Liu Yifei.

The reason is also very simple: I am of the right age, speak fluent English, and have experience in participating in major Hollywood productions.

The news spread, and the Internet was instantly abuzz.

The happiest thing is Liu Yifei's fans. Post bars, forums, and blogs are all filled with their joy wherever they can have fun.

"Why her?"

Although the result is a foregone conclusion, fans of other female celebrities are still not reconciled.

Many actresses have the same mentality, and some even questioned it, suspecting that Wei Jin had opened a back door for her.

In this regard, China Film directly showed the manuscript notes left by director Nolan during the audition that day. If this kind of thing was really revealed, Han Sanping would be disgraced.

The most embarrassing one is Zhang Ziyi. She even told several fan group leaders privately that she got the role. Now the slap in the face came so quickly that she really couldn't stay in the country, but she accepted the offer in the first place. if.

Yang Mi looked at the news on the Internet and felt a little reluctant. She also felt that Wei Jin was probably responsible, otherwise there would be no reason to choose Liu Yifei instead of Zhang Ziyi.
-

Inside the villa.

Liu Xiaoli looked at the pure English contract in her hand and nodded with satisfaction. This guy Wei Jin is indeed reliable.

"Xixi, have you been notified when you will join the group?"

"Well, in 10 days."

"Then why don't we go there in advance? There are just some procedures that can be completed."

When filming abroad, Liu Xiaoli will definitely follow her.

"Don't worry, I want to accompany brother Wei Jin. I will be gone for two or three months."

"No, that's true, but he is filming now. Is it convenient?"

Although she had already gotten a role in Hollywood, Liu Xiaoli knew in her heart that the role of the girl would be more beneficial to the actor. A one-woman show, not to mention being directed by Wei Jin himself, was really rare.

"It's no problem. I'm not going to visit him. He will come over in the evening."

Speaking of this, Liu Yifei was a little embarrassed. Wei Jin was in good health. He couldn't hold it back last time and screamed so loudly. He didn't know if his mother heard him.
-

"Junior brother, I really want to thank you this time."

On the phone, Yu Feihong kept saying thank you, which made Wei Jin feel a little embarrassed.

"Love Is Forever" was released, with a box office of 3170 million. The distributor can probably get more than 1200 million. After deducting 15% of the distribution fee and 500 million in publicity fees, the producer only has more than million left.

Yu Feihong's dream of directing was completely shattered. This film lost more than 10 million, but at least the house was saved, at least he didn't lose everything.

"Senior sister, you don't have to be so polite. I only use money to do things. I deserve to earn as much as I deserve."

The distribution business is like this. Unless the movie flops, it will basically make a profit without losing any money. That's why China Film Group has such confidence, allowing Han Sanping to produce blockbuster films.

"That's different. Anyway, senior sister appreciates your kindness this time. If you can be useful in the future, just ask."

"Ahem, I really have something to trouble Senior Sister. Well, Sister Yuanyuan is still having trouble with me."

Wei Jin was a little touched by Hu Jing's marriage. There was nothing wrong with Gao Yuanyuan's idea. After all, he was responsible for the beautiful woman.

But for Wei Jin to let go, he asked himself that he couldn't be so free and easy, after all, he already had real feelings.

Moreover, when he thought that Gao Yuanyuan would marry someone else in the future, Wei Jin felt that he was at a loss. He had to say that the man was really greedy.

"Well, I understand, but I can only help guide you on this matter, you have to rely on yourself."

"I understand, senior sister"
