During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 220 Art Examination and Berlin

"Sister Yuanyuan, let's have a good time in Europe this time, okay?"

Flying at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, Wei Jin held the woman in his arms and asked softly.

On New Year's Eve this year, Wei and Jin finally got what they wanted and enjoyed the blessings of all the people.

Although Gao Yuanyuan and Zeng Li still lack a tacit understanding and cannot achieve a perfect fit, for Wei Jin, this is not a problem. If they come together a few more times, I believe they will form the same team spirit as the assistant legion.

"How can you have so much time? Don't you have to attend the opening ceremony?"

The time has entered February, and the Berlin Film Festival is just around the corner. Although Gao Yuanyuan hopes that the two of them can be alone, she does not want to delay her business.

"Well, I won't participate this time. Summit Entertainment has arranged it. We just need to arrive before the closing ceremony. I will accompany you well this time."

Wei Jin kissed Gao Yuanyuan's cheek. Since he could no longer let go and couldn't give her the family she wanted, he could only make up for it.

"Well, I listen to you."

Feeling the man's affection, Gao Yuanyuan was a little moved, and then became excited again.

"So, we have about ten days? So where should we go first?"

"Sister Yuanyuan, didn't the flight attendant say that when we boarded the plane?"

He and Jing Tian had already enjoyed the prosperity of Europe before, and this time Wei Jin wanted to take in an overview of the natural scenery.

"I didn't pay attention, please tell me."

It's no wonder Gao Yuanyuan, when she first got on the plane, her eyes were only filled with curiosity.

"Switzerland."

"Yeah, let's go skiing, see the snow-capped mountains, and have a snowball fight."
-

Beijing, in the office of Xinhuamian Company.

"Weiping, no, these people have no acting skills at all and will seriously affect the quality of the movie."

Lao Mouzi looked a little ugly. During the Chinese New Year, Zhang Weiping would cause trouble for him.

"Yimou, this is a commercial film, making money and box office are the first priority, so don't be stubborn."

Although Zhang Weiping can understand Lao Mouzi's persistence, he really finds it ridiculous.

What's wrong if you can't act? Just with these three words "Xiao Shen Yang", the movie box office will increase by at least tens of millions.

He is so popular that a sketch in the Spring Festival Gala "Not Short of Money" directly made this unknown amateur become a top phenomenon in early 2009.

"Yimou, listen to me, his fame is really helpful to the box office. Ask yourself, did Jay Chou add to the box office of "The Golden Jacket"?"

Although "Golden Armor" failed at the box office due to Wei and Jin's attacks, Zhang Weiping still recognized Jay Chou's appeal.

Seeing Lao Mouzi silent, Zhang Weiping continued to persuade:

"And they have already agreed that as long as they can join our crew, the salary will be nothing."

"Weiping, I have to be responsible for the movie."

"Why don't you take responsibility? If your acting skills are not good, why don't you just give me some pointers? Didn't you use less amateurs before?"

"Can it be the same? None of the new people I use are from professional schools. They have no foundation at all. I really don't have that ability."

"Yimou, this is your first movie after the Olympics. It is also your first battle back in the film industry after two years. We must start it."

Lao Mouzi's first movie since becoming a god in the Olympic Games is definitely the one that attracts the most attention in the industry. If the box office is not satisfactory, it will really destroy his golden body. This is something Zhang Weiping will never allow.

"Think about how much the movie market has changed now. That guy from Wei Jin even set the record to more than 6 million. How about you? The personal record is still the one in "Hero" 6 years ago. We must do everything we can, no matter the cost."

Lao Mouzi was finally convinced or "persuaded".

Just after the Spring Festival, Xin Hua Mian held a media meeting to announce Lao Mouzi's new movie.

"We have invited Xiao Shen Yang, who shined in the Spring Festival Gala this year, and some members of the Zhao Family Class. This will be a brand new attempt and it is destined to be a strong alliance.

The script is currently ready and is adapted from the famous foreign movie "Blood Maze".

The specific start-up time cannot be determined yet, and there is still a lot of preparatory work in the early stage.”
-

Since December last year, there has been an influx of young men and women in the capital who are interested in acting. However, at that time, they were basically distributed in various training classes and were inconspicuous at all.

But when the two major art academies in China, China National Theater and Bei Dian Arts Examination, started, tens of thousands of people instantly filled up the two schools.

Jing Tian was promoted to a young man this year, and he and several classmates in the class are helping to maintain order.

"Tiantian, why didn't you see Senior Brother Wei at the opening ceremony of the film festival?"

Wei Jin has once again been shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, which is definitely a top priority for Nortel. Don’t pay too much attention to the news.

"Well, he will arrive a few days late."

Jing Tian's tone was a little sour. Her man was on his honeymoon with another woman.

If he had known that Jing Tian would not agree to this job even if he failed the exam, and he would have given Gao Yuanyuan an advantage.

"Tell me, can Senior Brother Wei win the prize this time?"

After Gao Ye became acquainted with Jing Tian, ​​he became more lively and chattered a little now.

"I don't know if he can win the award, but if you continue to fish, the director will come."

Jing Tian was depressed at the moment, so he had no intention of chatting with his classmates, so he retorted in a neutral tone.

"Oh"

Gao Ye choked and was a little confused. Isn't Jing Tian usually like this? Then he turned his attention to a newcomer who was late.

"You, that's you, what's your name? Why are you here now? I wonder if the interview has started yet? Why don't you go queue up?"

The girl who was called was a little panicked and secretly sighed that she was unlucky. How could her senior sister be so sharp-eyed and see her?

"Ah, senior sister, I'm sorry, my name is Huang Mengying."

"You're stupid, you haven't even put on your makeup yet. Go and touch up your makeup quickly."

After scolding the newcomers, Gao Ye felt that his ideas were clearer and he was more energetic in doing things——

After the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival, a large number of film rights were sold every day.

After the premiere of "The Hunt", the general plot has been circulated.

Domestic media is very fast, and there are already reviews of the movie on portal websites.

"This is a realistic theme that points directly to the weaknesses of human nature."

"There is a dragon spring on the tongue, killing people without blood."

"In "Hunting", everyone can become a hunter, and everyone can also become a prey."

Many people on the Internet are discussing that Wei Jin's script does not seem to have any spicy irony. Why was it rejected by the review?

At the same time, a group of old die-hards also gathered together.

"It seems that the script has not been changed, but the background has been changed. This is a bit troublesome."

Although the power of review is in their hands, it would be troublesome if it were used for private purposes and exposed.

"The attention in the country is already very high now. If we really win another award, public opinion will probably boil over. By then..." Although he didn't finish his words, everyone here knew that someone had to stand up and take responsibility.

"Why are you panicking? I don't know if I can win the award. Besides, who can avoid negligence in work?"

This man was calm and relaxed, not in any hurry. In his opinion, if he was really going to win the prize, the worst he could do was find someone to take the blame, and then replace him with one of his own. Isn't this normal operation? ——

Yinghuang, in the chairman's office.

"What did Shi Nansheng say?"

Boss Yang looked at Huo Wenxi expectantly.

Just after the Spring Festival, Golden Harvest announced this year's new film plans, "Witness" and "Chilling".

What is particularly eye-catching is that the screenwriters of these two scripts are Wei Jin, so Boss Yang naturally does not want to miss it.

"She said it's okay to invest, but the price will be 5% higher."

Huo Wenxi spoke very slowly, observing her boss's reaction.

In her opinion, Shi Nansheng's request was a bit excessive. Isn't Yinghuang worthy of Jiahe's equal treatment?

Contrary to Huo Wenxi's expectation, Boss Yang replied without any emotion on his face:

"She knows that Yinghuang wants a 4% share, both of them!"

Boss Yang thinks very clearly. Whether it is artists, directors, or resources in the industry, Yinghuang does not have an advantage. Premium is an inevitable choice. Didn't you see that Eucalyptus and Uniasia don't even have the opportunity to pay premium? ?

"Okay, boss, but is the "Ip Man" series really going to be suspended?"

The incident of Zhen Zhuzhuan's solo visit to Wei and Jin made Boss Yang very angry. The third part that was originally going to be launched was shelved. This is why Yinghuang continues to look for new profit points.

"Well, let it sit for a while. Some people think the wings are hard and it's time to beat them."

On the campus of China National Theater Academy, a group of interviews had just ended, and Chang Li turned to look at Zeng Li.

"Lizi, more than ten years ago, you took the exam like this, right?"

Chang Li felt a little emotional. This is the most outstanding student she has ever taught. She is also the pride of China National Opera, and she is also the examiner of this art exam.

"Yes, Teacher Chang, so many years have passed by."

Zeng Li seemed to remember the interview scene that year, with a hint of reminiscence on his face.

"However, you are still so beautiful. I don't know how you maintain it."

Zeng Li is in really good condition. Although she is almost 33 years old, she still looks like she is 27 or 8 years old. There are many people in school who envy her.

"No way, Teacher Chang, you are the one who takes good care of yourself. It hasn't changed much over the years."

Faced with the praise from her former head teacher, Zeng Li could only say a few words of humility.

"By the way, I've interviewed several groups, have you found any good prospects?"

Although she knows that the brilliance of Class 96 of Chinese Opera cannot be replicated, as a professor of the acting department, Chang Li still hopes that the more talents the better.

"That Bai Yu is pretty good, quite spiritual."

"Well, it's pretty good, but I don't know how many of them will be successful."

Nowadays, it is getting harder and harder for newcomers to get ahead. Although China National Theater is the best art school in the country, there is no guarantee that all students can get ahead. For a moment, Chang Li felt a little unmotivated——

On February 2, Wei Jin and Gao Yuanyuan finished their journey and rushed to Berlin.

The plane landed, and Hunter was already waiting here early.

"Boss, you're here, I can hardly resist the enthusiasm of the film producers."

Hunter is not surprised by Wei Jin's new female companion, which is quite normal in Hollywood.

"There's no rush, let's go back to the hotel first."

The three major European films attract a large number of film producers every year, and these film producers always like to chase big directors. Palme d'Or winner Wei Jin naturally fully meets their requirements.

However, it was impossible for Wei Jin to accept the offer before awarding the award.

The group got into the car and started heading towards the official hotel.

"By the way, how's the PR work going?"

Although he is very confident in himself, Wei Jin will not miss any opportunity to increase the probability of winning. He has handed over relevant matters to Summit Entertainment long ago.

"Boss, it's okay for the rest of us. It's the new chairwoman who has a very unique style. It's not easy to handle."

"Then leave her alone and increase efforts to publicize the others. She can't have the final say alone, right?"

There are a total of 7 judges this time, including a Chinese director and a North American actor. These are all potential allies. As long as we can conquer two or three more, we still have a good chance.

"Don't worry, boss, we are already doing our work."
-

After arriving at the hotel, Wei Jin and Gao Yuanyuan came to the room and looked at it. They were both satisfied.

Since Wei Jin's debut, his treatment at every film festival has been improved, and this time it is already a top-notch configuration, which means that he is already a top international director.

After a short rest, Wei Jin came to the hotel lobby alone. Gao Yuanyuan knew that he had something serious to do today.

Matt Damon is already waiting here, and he looks excited.

"Oh, Wei, you don't even know how popular our movie is. I have a hunch that I'm really going to win the best actor crown this time. I have to let Leon watch it then."

Since its premiere, "Hunting" has been screened three times in a row, and the screenings were all sold out.

Many film critics have given high scores, and various newspapers and magazines have also praised it. Matt feels that he has great hope of winning the award. This time he can finally feel proud in front of Leon.

The two have a good relationship, but Leonardo always shows off his Silver Bear trophy, which makes Matt, who has no awards, completely lose his temper.

"Matt, with all due respect, even if you win the Silver Bear, at most you will be on par with Leon. Besides, he is still your senior, haha."

As early as 96, Leonardo won the Berlin Best Actor with "Romeo and Juliet". He is really an indispensable senior.

"Wei, can't you make me happy? We are good friends."

Although what Wei Jin said was correct, it sounded very damaging.

"Haha, it's just a joke, but Matt, don't be too optimistic. It's hard to say what the outcome will be."

Although Wei Jin is confident, there are variables in everything. He does not want Matt to have too much hope. If the result is not satisfactory, he will be disappointed.

Matt calmed down a little after hearing this, and he also realized that he was overly optimistic.

"However, even if Berlin does not gain much, we still have another way out."

This script was made into an English film, which gave Wei Jin more choices, although he knew that the hope might not be very high.

"You mean"

Matt's eyes widened, uncertain.

"Yes, it's what you think."
