During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 224 Planning a Storm Sniper

Warner Headquarters, Special Effects Center.

This was Wei Jin's first time here. After observing closely, he intuitively felt the gap between Summit Entertainment and the Big Six in Hollywood.

After the Berlin Film Festival, Wei Jin rushed to Hollywood, and Hunter was in charge of the film rights deal.

At this moment, Nolan is like a general here, leading hundreds of special effects engineers to tackle difficult projects.

"Wei, come and see the results."

Nolan took Wei Jin and watched several special effects clips that had been prepared.

Three minutes passed, and Wei Jin was still a little unfinished. Although he had seen it in his previous life, the clip at this moment had changed a lot, and it was more shocking than the picture in his mind. Nolan was indeed capable.

"Wei, how was it? Did it meet your expectations?"

"All I can say is it's perfect. It's great. It seems like it's the right thing to leave it to you."

"Haha, then I'll be relieved."

Although he already has a billion-dollar box office movie, Nolan still attaches great importance to Wei Jin's idea. The young man in front of him is really terrifying. Not only has he won the Berlin Best Actor, but he is only one step away from the three major European Grand Slams. far away.

"Nolan, you are too humble. Believe me, this movie will definitely go down in history."

"Haha, actually I think so too, but when facing you, you have to be humble, right?"

After another visit with Nolan, Wei Jin said goodbye as he had a family dinner to attend in the evening.

After leaving, Wei Jin returned directly to the villa in Beverly Hills.

"Sister Yuanyuan, it's time for us to set off."

Domestic, Huayi Brothers Headquarters.

Wang Zhongjun hung up the phone with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Brother, do you really want to listen to the old guys?"

Because it was on speakerphone, Wang Zhonglei naturally knew the content of the conversation. Are these old guys mentally ill?

"Listen to this, what age are you in, and you still have this idea that those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish?"

Wang Zhongjun scolded him unceremoniously. He is already old and about to be buried. How can he not live in peace?

What makes Wang Zhongjun even more angry is the bossy attitude of the old guys. Do you really think he is still the little Karami of the past?

Although due to his background, Huayi's early rise was aided by a lot of help from these people, Wang Zhongjun asked himself that the benefits that should be given to him over the years have never been less. There are many children in the old people's family. Huayi is supporting.

Including the Qing palace dramas in recent years, how did it become so popular that the old guys have forgotten about it?

In Wang Zhongjun's view, the relationship between the two parties is more like a partnership, not an agent or a white glove.

"Then how will I explain to them later? There are many elders in the family."

"Hang on for now. We are at the critical moment of going public. Wei Jin holds a lot of shares, and "The Wind" is also cooperating. There is no need for a stalemate. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

Wang Zhongjun is very clear-headed. Even though Sunward Media has an amazing power now, as long as it is not listed for one day, Huayi will still have a chance to overtake it. The capital market is not first-come, first-served.

By dragging it on, firstly, to accumulate strength, if one day the two sides really turn against each other, Huayi will also have the strength to fight; secondly, it is almost time for the old guys to be buried. At that time, whether it is war or peace, interests will have the final say.

"Well, brother, your method is good. Listing is the most important thing. I'm sorry they can't find any thorns in it."

In North America, the lights were brightly lit in a private villa, and a family dinner was going on.

"Wei, congratulations to us, cheers!"

"cheers!"

Wei Jin took a sip of red wine and started eating.

Matt obviously put his best efforts into preparing Chinese food for today's family dinner.

"Wei, you should really give this script to me. I can guarantee that it will be better than this guy Matt."

When Matt got the Silver Bear trophy, he immediately showed it off to his old friend Leonardo, so it’s no surprise that the latter showed up here.

"Shet, Leon, I don't think I can lose to you in terms of acting skills."

Now that Matt has a Silver Bear Award, he has much more confidence to speak.

"Leon, have you forgotten? You once rejected me. I am very vindictive."

Wei Jin took a bite of food for Gao Yuanyuan and said teasingly.

"Huh? Leon has ever rejected you?"

Gao Yuanyuan was a little surprised. Would anyone reject Wei Jin's script?

"Yes, I also remembered that this is how "The Invisible Guest" fell into my hands. So, in Chinese terms, this is called fate, right, Wei?"

Matt said the word "fate" in awkward Chinese, which caused Gao Yuanyuan to burst into laughter.

"Haha, yes, Matt, this is our fate."

"Oh, Wei, I thought you were a generous person. Shouldn't making movies be more pure?"

Although Leonardo already has the Berlin Silver Bear trophy, no actor can have too much of it.

"Haha, I'm just kidding, you are really too expensive, not to mention that "Inception" needs you even more."

In fact, Wei Jin really considered Leon, but his screen image has been too distinctive in recent years, which actually has a negative impact on the role in the script, which is not conducive to winning awards.

"Matt is really a bargain. I heard from him that the movie will compete for the Oscars next year?"

At this point, Leonardo became even more upset. Why did he miss the opportunity? He had been waiting for many years.

"That's the plan."

Wei Jin has handed over this aspect of work to Summit Entertainment to produce an Oscar-winning film. For the latter, it is also an improvement in soft power, and they will be very attentive.

"Oh, I feel like I've really lost too much, Wei. Next time, if you have a film to compete for awards, you must remember to come to me. I don't need to pay for the film."

Films with award-winning potential are rare, and Leonardo is really willing to star in them for free.

Especially at the Oscars, which ended a few days ago, Winslet won the Oscar for Best Actress for "The Reader", which strengthened Leonardo's determination to become an Oscar winner.

"Haha, then we can only wait for the next opportunity."

Beijing, Deep Blue Recording Studio.

Ever since he first recorded songs here with Wei and Jin, Jing Tian had regarded this place as his base and would come here whenever he recorded songs.

Before Wei Jin went abroad, he gave three songs to Jing Tian, ​​but the little girl has been busy helping out at school since the Spring Festival and has never had time to record them.

Now that the Beidian Art Examination is finally over, she can record songs with peace of mind.

Looking at the lyrics and score, Jing Tian couldn't help but think of the Wei and Jin Dynasties again. I don't know where this heart-stealer is now having fun with Gao Yuanyuan.

"You are such a philanderer. It's a shame that I still say good things about you in front of your uncle."

"Tiantian, who are you talking about?"

A voice came, making Jingtian stand at attention instantly, with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

"Teacher Liu, you are here."

The person coming was none other than Liu Huai. Ever since he met Wei Jin Jingtian three years ago because of Zhang Yadong's incident, he had kept his word and almost became Jingtian's royal producer.

This time, the schedule was specially adjusted to record songs according to Jingtian's time. It's not that he was low-key, but he was soft-spoken and short-handed.

Although Liu Huan has always been a big shot in the industry, and is even said to be the number one brother in the mainland music industry, his commercial value is actually not very high. This can also be seen from his various commercial performance fees. .

But with the popularity of "The Voice", his net worth has more than doubled, and various announcements, commercial performances, and endorsements are coming to him like snowflakes.

Although Liu Huanyuan is a very pure musician and does not value these things too much, the improvement in commercial value is also obvious to him.

To give a simple example, he can now support his management team by running two or three commercial performances every year. Doesn't this save a lot of time to find musical inspiration?

"Tiantian, please show me the lyrics first. I want to see what other good songs Wei Jin wrote for you."

Liu Guan is also a little disappointed. Wei Jin is really talented, but it is a pity that he cannot focus on music, and his voice is limited. Otherwise, with his accomplishments in Chinese and English songs, he might have become a world-class pop king.

""Light Chaser", "Wishful", "Hello Tomorrow", you must have squeezed the Wei and Jin Dynasties dry. I wrote three songs for you at once."

Listening to Liu Huan's slightly ambiguous statement, Jing Tian blushed. She really squeezed everything out to get the song.

"Well, let's play this simpler one first, "Hello Tomorrow", Tiantian, are you familiar with the lyrics?"

"Well, Teacher Liu, everything is ready."

Jing Tian also knew that Liu Huan's time was precious, so he was naturally prepared, otherwise he would not regard the boss as the boss.

"Okay, let's start now."

"OK."

Domestic, at an interview site for a Chinese drama.

"Teacher Zeng, you don't look too good. Why don't you go and rest first? Just leave it to us."

After a group of interviews ended, a teacher among the examiners looked at Zeng Li worriedly.

"It's okay, I'll just watch from the side."

Although Zeng Li felt a little uncomfortable, she was the examiner and had to take responsibility. Besides, a scandal broke out in the school next door. Although she believed in the ethics of the Chinese drama teacher, she had to supervise.

This year, Nortel's art exam ended a little earlier than that of China Drama.

On the day when the results of the final examination were released, parents of the failed candidates reported on the spot:

There is an acting teacher who runs a training class outside, asking for 300,000 yuan, and is guaranteed to pass the final exam.

Since this candidate had acted in movies before, was versatile, could sing and dance, and was full of self-confidence, the parents felt that there was no need to waste money, so they rejected the offer.

Unexpectedly, he failed in the exam. Parents and students felt that the teacher was out for revenge.

Nortel held an emergency press conference, specifically emphasizing the fairness and rigor of the art exam, and even listed the list of this year's art exam inspection team, with a total of eight professors and associate professors, and two doctoral supervisors.

But public opinion does not buy it, because this phenomenon of asking for prices does exist, and the Nortel Performance Department has become unscrupulous.

This incident has been in the headlines for several days, and even the honor of Wei and Jin winning the Golden Bear could not cover up this scandal.

However, Zeng Li also understands that it is indeed difficult to be fair and impartial in the performance department's admissions work. The judging criteria are too subjective and vague, and it is difficult to be as clear and clear as other majors. What she can do is to minimize the errors caused by being too subjective. disuse.

Throughout the entire interview, Zeng Li didn't speak, and just watched the other examiners working. Her physical discomfort finally eased.

"Teacher Zeng, I suggest you go and have a look. Don't take minor illnesses seriously."

The person who spoke was a slightly older teacher, and the advice he gave was very pertinent. He was experienced.

"Yes, I will, thank you, Teacher Ma."

Wei Jin didn't expect that even though he had a private plane, he would still be blocked at the airport by the media.

"I said, how many days have you been squatting?"

"Hey, Director Wei, I haven't seen you in Berlin, and I haven't caught up with you in North America. The leader has spoken, and we must interview you. We brothers have been taking turns guarding you for a week."

The flights from Wei to Jin cannot be found now, but the media has many connections, so it is still possible to find out if there are any applications for private routes.

Although I don’t know whose plane it is, it’s still right to guard it. It just takes a little effort.

"Okay, since you're working so hard, I'll answer three questions and ask them."

"Thank you in advance, Director Wei. Are you satisfied with the handling of the matter by the General Administration?"

A few days ago, a member of the review team came forward and admitted that it was his negligence in his work that caused Wei Jin's script to fail the review, and he took the initiative to apply for resignation, which barely calmed the situation.

"I've said it a long time ago. Human beings can make mistakes. Now that it has been changed, it is naturally for the best."

The instructor has already communicated with him about this matter. It is said that Professor Hou personally found Tianzhuangzhuang. He still needs to be given face. After all, he is the former vice president of the college.

What's more, Wei Jin didn't intend to change the audit environment just by relying on this incident. There was still a lot of work to be done, and the future was long.

"Excuse me, Director Wei, you said you want to win the three major European Grand Slams. Do you have any specific plans?"

At present, the three highest prize Grand Slams in Europe are not yet available in China. Li An and Lao Mouzi are only one step away. They have both won the Golden Lion and the Golden Bear, and are only missing the Palme d'Or. They are at the same stage as Wei and Jin.

"It already exists, and it is expected to launch an attack on the Golden Lion within three years."

The reason for waiting for so long is that Wei Jin plans to win the highest honor of the Oscar, so he naturally has to choose the right time.

"Excuse me, Director Wei, what do you think of "Nanjing"?"

A few days ago, Lu Chuan was quite high-profile in front of the media because "Nanjing" has received a public release permit and has been scheduled for May Day.

He actually declared that "Nanjing" was a gift film. In his mouth, the film was praised to the extreme, giving people the feeling that if you don't go to the cinema, you will forget history.

"I don't know what Lu Chuan's mentality was when he wrote this script, but for this kind of movie that has an unfair stance and whitewashes the enemy, Shanhe Cinemas will refuse to release it."

Wei Jin's words directly shocked the reporters at the scene, showing undisguised disgust and blatant suppression.

Unexpectedly, there was an even bigger "surprise" waiting for them. Wei Jin continued:

"At the same time, the martial arts film "Defiant" and the costume fantasy blockbuster "Painted Skin 2" produced by Sunward Media will be released in April and May respectively."
