During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 243: Best Actor-Level Performance Sends Jing Tian to Success

Time has entered July, and the filming of "Passengers" is going smoothly.

At this time, the plot is already halfway through, faster than Wei Jin expected.

Liang Jiahui's role has also been officially released. This veteran actor is very dedicated and came earlier than the notice.

"Brother Jiahui, are you ready?"

"Director Wei, I've been waiting for a long time, don't worry."

Regarding Liang Jiahui's expertise, Wei Jin had a clear understanding of it in "Super Body". At this moment, he stopped talking and turned to look at the set. All the preparations of the crew were in place.

He walked to the monitor and sat down, making a sound from his mouth.

"action"

On the host side, the elevator malfunctioned and the male protagonist fell down.

In the second seat, the hostess was taking food, but the machine also broke down and the food sprayed everywhere.

"Click." Wei Jin behind the monitor gave the order.

"Preparation, action"
-

"Sword and Sword III" is still on the air. Ten days after its premiere, the peak ratings have reached over 6 points.

"By the way, Brother Jiahui, how is the situation with "Cold War"?"

But sometimes, God is destined to choose, and Liang Jiahui is chosen, but it also shows that the Xiangjiang circle is indeed too small, and there is no successor.

In fact, none of the well-known actors who became famous in Hong Kong in the 80s had poor acting skills. After all, such a small place had to support a box office of nearly billion in that era, which shows how fierce the competition was.

"After this, take a half-hour break while the crew prepares for the next scene."

Thinking of this, Wei Jin suddenly had an idea.

"It just started filming not long ago. When I go back, I will shoot my scenes again. This time, I will be working under your hands."

"But the busier one is Acheng. The two dramas are running back-to-back. You have made him a lot of money, haha."

The heroine was caught in the water balloon and suspended in the air. She could not swim out and almost suffocated to death.

The script of "Chill" invited Guo Tianwang from the beginning. Unexpectedly, "Witness" also chose him just after filming started. However, fortunately, the time was staggered by more than a month, and the schedules were able to be coordinated.

"Teacher, you have worked hard these two days on publicity. If you need anything, remember to mention it to your assistant."

"Haha, then I'm going to ask him to help with the stage this time. You have to come when the premiere of "Super Body" comes. "Chilling" will just give you two a holiday."

"whats the matter?"

Seeing this, Miss Cai didn't want to continue chatting anymore. She wished Master Liu to take care of his health and hurriedly hung up the phone.

When Wei Jin heard this, the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became.

Soon, half an hour passed. All the preparations for the crew were in place, and the set manager came over to remind Wei Jin.

Liang Jiahui is not lying. The four kings have rarely been on the same stage since 2000. The last time was at the th anniversary party of Hong Kong. It has been more than two years and it is even more difficult to see them in public places.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements later."

Ms. Cai's tone was gentle, and she didn't look like a boss at all. She knew in her heart that an artist contract alone could not tie down a popular star, she also had to play the emotional card. Hu Ge is the best example.

Miss Cai couldn't stop smiling as she watched the ratings continue to rise. Suddenly something occurred to her and she picked up the phone and dialed.

Looking around, everything was indeed ready. Gao Yuanyuan also put on a swimsuit, showing off her perfect and proud figure, which was a feast for the eyes of the weaklings at the scene.

"It's hard to say, but with the energy of Yinghuang and Jiahe, it shouldn't be a big problem. If it really works, the audience and fans will be very grateful to you, haha."

In his previous life in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, he was in the early 90s. When he was a teenager, the Four Heavenly Kings were popular in Asia. He had a good impression of these four.

The next scene was about to film the failure of the spacecraft's gravity system. There were many scenes and props that needed to be prepared, so Wei Jin simply let the actors take a rest.

In this scene, the heroine was swimming in a swimming pool. Due to a failure of the gravity system, a large amount of pool water caused huge waves and floated out of the pool, forming several huge water balloons.

At this time, the performances of several people seemed a bit awkward, because there were a large number of shots and required the support of post-production special effects.

On the way to the monitor, Wei Jin always felt that he was at a loss and shouted with a dark face.

"I'm the deck master. What bastard planted trees on the spaceship?"

"Excessive praise, Director Wei."

"Brother Jiahui, do you think it's possible for the four heavenly kings to gather together at the premiere of "Super Body"?"

Miss Cai was about to continue communicating her feelings when her secretary knocked on the door and walked in with an ugly look on her face.

"Well, thank you Sister K for your concern. Everything is fine here." Master Liu's voice sounded a little tired on the phone.

Putting aside his thoughts for the time being, Wei Jin began to follow the transition and prepare for the next scene.

Wei Jin left the monitor and walked towards Liang Jiahui. This veteran actor has really good acting skills.

"Brother Jiahui, you performed really well."

Next, the three of them started to act, and the camera followed the leading actors and entered the control console of the spacecraft.

Liang Jiahui gave up and expressed his humility.

This project was controlled by Jiahe and participated by Yinghuang. Wei Jin only provided the script and did not interfere too much, including in the casting.

Liang Jiahui also didn't expect that a ten thousand year supporting actor like him would also encounter the situation of two crews running back and forth, and the scripts were all written by Wei Jin.

This scene is quite difficult. It requires the heroine to struggle desperately in the air to swim out of the water ball. At the same time, she is in a state of extreme hypoxia and is about to suffocate.

"Mr. Cai, I'm honored to have you raise the price."

Miss Cai frowned, "It's rising again? Hasn't it already risen before?"

"They said they had misunderstood before, so they reported the wrong price."

Even though he was narrating, the secretary's face was a bit sulky, it was really bullying.

"How much has it increased?"

Miss Cai suppressed her anger and asked, "Sword and Sword III" is still on the air. As the female lead, Yang Mi, if she does not attend the promotion, it is likely to have a great negative impact on the TV series, so bear with her for a while.

"It's increased by 50%."

".I understand, promise them."

Miss Cai answered expressionlessly, her heart already full of anger, "Yang Mi, just wait for me!" ! ——

On July 7, the premiere ceremony of "October Siege" was held in Beijing.

As the first work produced by Wei Jin as director of Jiahe, people in the industry were very curious about it, and many people came to support it.

China Film, Wangda, Yinghuang, Huayi Brothers. Many big guys gathered together to give Wei Jin enough face.

As the helmsman of Jiahe, Shi Nansheng was naturally busy greeting everyone. Although she was very tired, she was very happy with it. This feeling was really good.

Because the filming progress was relatively smooth, Wei Jin also ended today's scene early and arrived at the scene at the last moment.

Gao Yuanyuan did not come with her. She was also exhausted from the filming during this period.

"How's it going? Did the filming go well?"

Before the premiere started, Han Sanping came over and started chatting with Wei Jin.

"It's okay. I think it will be completed in about half a month."

"Ah That's good."

Han Sanping is still very confident in the efficiency of Wei Jin's filming.

""Hunting" is still a bit of a pity."

When Wei Jin heard this, he almost choked. "Hunting" had been released two days ago, and the domestic box office had stopped at 1.68 million. But compared to China Film's million buyout price, it was undoubtedly a huge profit. Is Old Hantou going to heaven?

"Director Han, this is a good achievement for a literary film, not to mention the opponent is too strong, so be satisfied."

From late June to now, the entire movie market has been dominated by "Transformers 6".

The movie has only been released for two weeks and has grossed nearly 3 million in box office, and once again staged an amazing event where it is hard to get a ticket. According to this momentum, the box office will definitely exceed 4 million. "Hunting" is a literary film, and it will fight for the top spot.

"That's true, this big guy is really difficult to deal with."

Han Sanping also understood this truth, but he was accustomed to suffering miserably and wanted to get some benefits from Wei and Jin.

As the two chatted and laughed, the premiere officially began——

After the premiere, Wei Jin and Li Tianwang decided to attend the premiere of "Super Body".

Under Liu Yifei's reluctant eyes, Wei Jin left the scene and drove to Dongshan Villa.

It's not that he favors one over the other. Firstly, Liu Yifei has to follow the crew to promote, and secondly, she has made an appointment with Jing Tian a long time ago.

When he opened the door, he saw Jing Tianzai already asleep on the sofa.

Wei Jin shook his head, tiptoed over, and put the summer quilt on the little girl's body. Even though it was summer, if you were not careful, you would still catch a cold. Wei Jin knew that the little girl was busy promoting "Super Body" and was exhausted.

This movie is Jing Tian's one-man show. As the director, Wei Jin is filming a new movie. Before the premiere, she can only rely on her to complete the domestic publicity.

Originally thought it was a very simple matter, but Wei Jin didn't expect that the little girl would work so hard.

These days, she is alone with her assistant, appearing in programs, recording variety shows, recording interviews, or interviews on portals, and is almost too busy.

It can be seen that Jing Tian is very serious about his first female protagonist movie.

Although the effect of the publicity was very good, after more than a week in a row, Jing Tian became tired and a little thin.

Looking at the little girl's pretty tired face, Wei Jin reached out and touched her gently, feeling a little distressed but also a little funny.

In fact, his movies don't need such desperate promotion in China.

"Brother, you are here~~"

Jing Tian seemed to be disturbed by Wei Jin's actions and woke up, feeling a little sleepy.

"Well, Tiantian, that's all the promotion before the premiere. It's almost done."

"But brother, will it affect the box office?"

Jing Tian said worriedly.

During the filming, she acted very carefully. Now that the movie is about to be released, Jing Tian certainly hopes for a perfect ending.

"No, Tiantian, people here in China have to believe in my appeal. As for the overseas box office, leave it to me."

Summit Entertainment's distribution capabilities have become increasingly powerful in recent years, but promotion and distribution are two different concepts. Otherwise, why would a movie be promoted in the early stage to let more people know that the movie is about to be released? In this regard, the creative team still needs to work hard.

However, this movie is neither a Hollywood movie nor a Hollywood star, nor does it have the gimmick of a large-scale science fiction masterpiece like "The Martian".

Fortunately, in Japan and South Korea, Abe Hiroshi and Cui Minzhi have done a lot of publicity, but North America, the world's largest ticket warehouse, is beyond their reach. Although Wei Jin has the reputation of being a director, he was unable to go there in person to promote it.

This time, Wei Jin plans to use his personal connections to boost the overseas box office of "Super Body" and send Jing Tian to success.

"Well, I listen to you, brother."

"Tiantian, are you still tired? Let's take a hot bath and relax."

"Hmm~"

Jing Tian nodded shyly when he heard this. After running for several days to promote it, she wanted it too.

That night, Wei Jin helped the hard-working Jing Tian with a full-body massage. The key parts were not missed. The little girl soon felt refreshed——

"October Siege" is released.

Thanks to the gimmick of Jiahe's first film, the strong cast, and the fact that it was promoted as a gift film, theaters arranged the film very well, generally giving more than 50%.

Shanhe Cinema even gave 60%. It’s not that they don’t want to give more, it’s just that “Transformers 2” is too profitable.

With such a high film schedule, "October Siege" did not disappoint everyone's expectations.

On the first day of release, the box office revenue was 2700 million, and the box office revenue in the three days of release was 8200 million. The figures are quite gorgeous.

The media predicts that this will be another movie with a box office of 300 million.

During the promotion, Liu Yifei couldn't help but call to announce the good news. After all, it was possible to break her box office record, and it would not be in vain to suffer so many injuries during the filming.

"Brother, it would be great if it really exceeded 300 million."

"It's definitely no problem. There are almost no opponents at this time."

Wei Jin is not trying to comfort the little girl. As of now, "Transformers 2" has been released for 20 days, with a box office of over 4 million. Its potential has basically been exhausted and it does not pose much of a threat.

Another competitor, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," will not be released for a few days. With this series, the domestic box office limit is generally around 1 million, so the threat is not too high.

In other words, almost before the release of "Super Body", "October Siege" could dominate the box office. If one company is the only one, it will definitely have no problem breaking 300 million.

"But Yifei, the box office is so high, aren't you going to thank me?"

"Brother, when I come back, I will be with you."

At China Film Digital Base, the filming process of "Passengers" has reached the final third.

"action"

With an order from Wei and Jin, a new drama began.

What was photographed today was the damage to the core components of the spacecraft. Artificial intelligence Naza told everyone about the specific situation. The spacecraft is likely to be about to crash.

The three humans were discussing how to repair the spacecraft. As the deck captain, Liang Jiahui should have played a big role, but he collapsed to the ground instantly.

In this section, Liang Jiahui contributed an actor-level performance.

The action of falling to the ground gives people a feeling of weakness all over the body, which is very natural.

"click"

Looking at the picture on the monitor, Wei Jin sighed in admiration.

"Brother Jiahui, your performance is great."

As soon as Wei Jin finished speaking, several of the main creators of the crew clapped their hands. They had to admit that the Thousand Faces Best Actor was really powerful.

"Haha, Director Wei deserves the award, but according to this progress, am I almost done with it? It's a bit unsatisfactory."

Liang Jiahui and Wei Jin have worked together twice, both in supporting roles, and I feel that their strength has not yet been fully demonstrated.

"Brother Jiahui, my role is a bit small this time, but this role is very crucial."

Wei Jin seemed to feel really sorry, and after thinking for a while he said:

"Next time we work together, I will give Brother Jiahui a role with outstanding acting and explosive acting skills."

"Haha, okay, then I'll wait for Director Wei's notification."

The two reached a gentleman's agreement, and subsequent filming was simple.

Through the test in the medical cabin, Naza issued the physical test results of the deck captain: active tissue necrosis throughout the body, organ failure, and life was in danger.

At the last moment of his life, Liang Jiahui handed the bracelet representing his identity authority to Qiao Zhenyu so that he could obtain higher authority and enter various areas of the spacecraft.

"Congratulations to Brother Jiahui for wrapping up filming. See you at the premiere of "Super Body" at the end of the month."

Wei Jin did not persuade him to stay, after all, "Chill" was still waiting for Liang Jiahui to start work.

"Okay, Director Wei, goodbye everyone."

"Goodbye, Brother Jiahui."
-

Since the filming of "Passengers", the first actor to be completed has been welcomed, and the media is also paying great attention to it.

That night, relevant news had appeared on major portal websites.

"Actor Leung finished filming today, and "Passengers" is suspected to be entering its final stages."

"Liang Jiahui left the digital base and everyone from "Passengers" bid farewell."

At the same time, Wei Jin received a call from North America.

"Twilight 3" was officially released, with a North American box office revenue of 3.13 million U.S. dollars and a global box office revenue of 7.11 million U.S. dollars.

Compared with the previous film, there are slight deficiencies, but this is normal. The box office of each movie is the result of the right time and place, and cannot be copied.

Although the main creative team has been given a salary increase, the cost of "Twilight 3" is only US$5500 million. From the box office alone, it will bring a net income of at least US$2 million to Summit Entertainment.

Wei Jin also had to lament that fan movies are really scary. He was wondering when he would start the copyrights for the few movies he still had.

However, Hunter's call also reminded him of the promotion of "Super Body", which was only about ten days away from release, and the promotion was just right now.

The first call Wei Jin made was to Matt Damon. After all, he was the one who won the Best Actor award, so the cause and effect was huge.

After Wei Jin expressed his intention to come, Matt agreed without saying a word. At the same time, he said very generously that if there was an event, he could spare a day to help the platform.

Wei Jin certainly wanted this and thanked him profusely.

The second call was to Leonardo. Although they had never worked together before, they had known each other for so many years and their relationship was not bad.

As expected, Leon was very romantic, and Wei Jin could hear a woman's voice on the phone.

After clarifying his intention, Leon also readily agreed, but agreed with Wei Jin that he would be given priority in the future if he was to compete for awards films.

Wei Jin certainly agrees with this. After all, Leonardo's acting skills are still very impressive.

Wei Jin then made many calls in succession to women he had relationships with, including Swift, Kristen, and Theron, as well as many actors he had single-handedly made famous, including all the creators of "Now You See Me" and "Twilight". The famous actors in the "Light" series and so on.

After more than a dozen phone calls, the promotion of North America was finally settled. Wei Jin felt much more at ease. He believed that with such a luxurious celebrity promotion lineup, the popularity of "Super Body" would be instantly aroused.

Just leave the rest to Hunter and Summit Entertainment.
