During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 255 NTR at the new project reception
Shanhe Building.

"I said, you kid, if you're not busy with post-production, why are you here with me?"

Wei Jin leaned back on the boss's chair and exhaled a long puff of smoke.

"Hey, Mr. Wei, I'm just thinking about you coming back, so I need to set the schedule first."

Lu Yang scratched his head and replied, "Xiu Chun Dao 2" has been completed a long time ago, and the post-production is on track. The most important thing now is the schedule. He is not Wei Jin, and he is not picky about the schedule.

"Isn't it still early? Why are you in such a hurry? Let's talk about it later."

"Snatch a good time slot as soon as possible. There are so many projects in the company now. What should I do if it's not my turn? Hehe."

Lu Yang's worries are not unreasonable. Counting Jiahe, there will be at least five or six movies produced by Shanhe Media next year. He may meet his people in any schedule. If you get a seat in advance, I'm afraid he will also consider it when choosing the schedule for other projects.

In addition, Wei and Jin sometimes act out of common sense, what if they are given another sniper mission?
"Hey, you are quite smart."

Seemingly seeing through Lu Yang's thoughts, Wei Jin smiled and cursed, thought for a while and then spoke.

"Director Wu Ershan, the project can be started. Shirley Yang and I have finalized Liu Yifei. Let's open auditions for the remaining roles."

However, Lao Mouzi's appeal is still very useful, and theaters generally give him a lot of support.

There is no way, the trend of "Inception" is too strong, the box office on weekdays is still over 2000 million, and the theaters are not stupid.

Maybe they were destined to be opponents. Just as Lu Yang left, Wu Ershan arrived.

"Mr. Wei, the storyboard for "The Secret of the Dragon" is ready. Can you take a look at it?"

"Okay, Mr. Wei, I will start it as soon as possible."

"Chilling" and "Wind and Cloud 2" were released on the same day.

It was really a battle between the boss and the second child, with the third and fourth children directly reduced to cannon fodder.

The first-day box office of both movies did not exceed 10 million, and the prospects are bleak.

In addition, the TV series has been aired in the past few months, with a peak ratings of 4.5, and even the second and third rounds have received good market response. Wu Ershan believes that this time, he will completely prove himself.

Zhang Weiping looked at the box office data and felt proud and emotional at the same time. Lao Mouzi is Lao Mouzi, so what about Hollywood blockbusters?
It's a pity that the movie's reputation is so bad, and a lot of complaints and negative reviews appeared online.

Although the capacity of the domestic film market is already very large, a single schedule can only accommodate up to two films. In this case, "The Tomb Raider" and "The Storm 2" were miserable and were directly reduced to foils.

Especially the colorful costumes and vulgar and abrupt lines were described by netizens as eye-catching and disgusting.

Wu Ershan was overjoyed when he heard this. You know, "Inception" is so popular now. If Liu Yifei joins the cast, this movie will definitely receive huge attention, and it will undoubtedly be a good opportunity to increase exposure.

But he couldn't help but not pay attention to it. After all, it was a brand new series. If he screwed it up, it would mean that his previous success was all due to the foundation laid by Wei Jin, and it would have a great impact on his director career.

However, "Inception" still performed well. In the third week of its release, the domestic box office earned 1.65 million, with a cumulative box office of 5.02 million, and a global box office of 8.46 million US dollars, continuing to top the single-week box office list.

It can be seen that after the Olympic Games, the audience's pursuit of Lao Mouzi has reached such an extent that even CCTV News reported this text message.

Unexpectedly, this time the media actually stood on the same side as the audience.

Wei Jin took the materials and didn't say much. He started reading by himself. After more than ten minutes, Wei Jin put down the materials.

On the day "Three Guns" was released, it easily took in 2100 million at the box office, and the box office exceeded 4 million in the first four days of the weekend.

"Well, let's tentatively decide on May Day."

Wu Ershan handed over the materials respectfully. He attached great importance to this project. Since he got the script in July, he has been pondering over every scene and scene over the past few months, spending a lot of time to complete the storyboard. Do it well.

"What is Lao Mouzi doing? This is just making money."

"This is an extended sketch, full of strong flavor of two-parter."

"The cost of 2800 million is indeed cheap but not good."

However, the appeal of the great director is really not overshadowed. Although there are a lot of bad reviews, the more people criticize him, the more people buy it. A large number of viewers want to know, what happened to Lao Mouzi?
As a result, the box office of "Three Guns" is still rising despite its bad reputation.

Zhang Weiping was very happy. When being interviewed by the media, he happily predicted:
"One week it's 5 million, two weeks it's million, three weeks it's million, and one month it's over million."

The media and industry insiders were disgusted by this guy's appearance, but soon everyone's attention was diverted, and Shanhe Media announced the latest project information.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Secret of Looking for the Dragon", with a total investment of 1.2 million, director: Wu Ershan; screenwriter: Wei Jin & Tian Xia Ba Sing;

Male lead: To be determined; Female lead: Liu Yifei;
Remaining roles: several to be determined;
For a time, it caused a sensation in the circle. It was a large-scale production worth 1.2 million, and the director was Wu Ershan from the 3 million club. The script was adapted by Wei Jin and the original author based on a best-selling novel. There is no doubt that this is another high-quality project.

But what makes the actresses in the industry a little crazy is why the heroine has been directly confirmed again?

Yes, they admit that Liu Yifei is indeed very powerful. She is the first of the four actresses, and "Inception" is now in theaters. Her joining will indeed be a great blessing to the film project.

But aren’t you tired of Wei and Jin? Do you want a change of flavor? There are many female stars in the entertainment industry, why aren't they given a chance?

Countless female stars complained in their hearts that jealousy has changed them beyond recognition. The heroines of this show are undoubtedly very brilliant, but it is a pity that they cannot have their turn. It is really sad.

While the female stars were on the verge of tears, the male actors were collectively excited. Several of the male characters in this drama were outstanding, and it was rare that they had no pre-determined roles. This was their best chance.

In addition, film companies are also waiting to grab a share of investment. Shanhe Media’s projects have never suffered losses.
-
On December 12, "The Empire of Heaven" had its premiere.

As Mr. Xu’s comeback work, coupled with the energy of the two major producers, many people in the industry came to support it.

As one of the producers of Optical Fiber, Wang Changtian came to the scene early and acted as the host.

Wei Jin arrived very late, and he had a hunch that there would be many people looking for him tonight.

Sure enough, when he appeared at the venue, many film companies gathered around him. "The Secret of the Dragon" is a project worth more than 100 million yuan, which is really eye-catching.

After finally getting out of the crowd, Han Sanping was already waiting for him with a smile.

"Director Han, "Inception" is still in theaters."

Wei Jin declined this politely. The "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series could at least develop several parts, and he didn't really want to win anyone over to cooperate.

You must know that in the previous "Painted Skin 2", several major producers simply followed and made money without making any effort at all. If "The Secret of the Dragon" also involves other people, how will the subsequent works be counted? Will Shanhe Media want these people to follow it then?
Letting him follow is purely a gift of money. Not letting him follow seems a bit ugly. This is what Wei and Jin resisted.

"Boy, China Film will vote for this one. If there is a sequel, let's talk about it separately. How about it?" Han Sanping also understood Wei Jin's concerns and thought of a plan acceptable to both parties. As for the sequel, we will slowly work on it when the time comes. Well, this guy is soft-hearted anyway.

"Um, Director Han, let's not talk about this today, the movie is about to start."

Han Sanping didn't know what to say when he heard this, and quietly admired Old Monster Xu's new work.

Shanhe Media's version of "Tongtian Empire" has made some modifications to the script, and the time is controlled at about 110 minutes.

As the movie came to an end, there were bursts of applause.

"The special effects of this film are good, and the suspenseful atmosphere is also created well. It made Lao Wang earn money again."

Han Sanping was not very optimistic at first and had no investment. Now that he has seen the finished film, he has a feeling that the box office will not be low.

"Haha, Director Han, I, Mr. Wang, just drink some soup with Mr. Wei, but I can't compare to China Film and Television, which has so many projects, haha."

Wang Changtian is really happy. His eyes have been trained over the years. In his opinion, "Tongtian Empire" is stable.

"Mr. Wang, no, Director Wang, you just don't mean what you say. Fiber optics has made quite a move this year, haha."

Wei Jin made a rare joke, saying that Fiber Optics has really made a big deal this year, signing Chen Jiashang and in-depth cooperation with a number of Xiangjiang film companies and filmmakers. It can be seen that Lao Wang is ready to do something big.

"Brother Wei, there are too few capable directors in the Mainland, and they all have their own bases. Several of your generals are not taking on external roles for the time being. If Fiber Optic wants to fully enter the film production business, it can only start from there. Find a way."

Wang Changtian felt helpless. He had cooperated with Wei Jin several times over the years, and they had indeed made money. But how could drinking soup with him be as good as eating meat by himself? You have to try more times.

"But brother Wei, don't get divorced from me because of this. If you have projects, you still have to take care of me."

"Easy to say, easy to say, if you have the chance."

Wei Jin didn't talk to him again. The production plans for the next few years announced by Fiber Optic were all old books from Xiangjiang. They were re-adapted, just to fool the old Wangtou.

Things like "Happy Events in the Flower Field", "Four Famous Catchers", "Liao Zhai", etc. Lao Wangtou has earned a lot from following him over the years. I'm afraid he has to make a lot of money.

Seeing Wei Jin's perfunctory behavior, Lao Wang paid other attention.

"Brother Wei, you have a good sense. Please help me with advice. Has "Liao Zhai" started?"

"What do you say? What do you think?"

"That's right. The "Painted Skin" series has done very well. We are thinking that for the first wholly-produced movie, we will also choose themes from this to try to get off to a good start. What do you think?"

"Well, that's a good idea, very good."

Wei Jin could only reply with a smile. To be honest, it was too annoying.

During the cocktail party, Wei Jin really didn't expect to see Yang Ying here, who was chatting with Huang Xiaoming.

Unexpectedly, these two people have already hooked up. It seems that Huang Xiaoming is destined to be unable to escape this disaster.

Although he injected a lot of capital into Yang Ying, Wei Jin only had a quick meal, so naturally he couldn't be unhappy.

However, Wei Jin still did not intend to disturb them. After all, it was a bit too much to confront NTR. Unexpectedly, Huang Xiaoming had sharp eyes and quickly saw him in the crowd and walked towards him quickly.

"Mr. Wei."

Huang Xiaoming was holding the wine glass, and Yang Ying was following behind. There was some distance between the two of them. This is something that celebrities are not good at. They have to pay attention to the media at all times.

"Brother Xiao Ming, long time no see. Thank you for coming to support me."

Wei Jin remembered that Huang Xiaoming should still be filming "Tang Bohu 2" at this time, and he was able to spare time to come to support him. He was really smooth in handling things. However, since they had already met, Wei Jin couldn't pretend not to know each other and turned to look at Yang Ying.

"Ms. Yang, hello."

"Hello Wei Sheng."

Yang Ying is indeed a member of the young model industry. Seeing that Wei Jin's face did not change at all, she greeted him sweetly. Perhaps this is a reasonable phenomenon in the Hong Kong industry.

"This is what you are doing?"

Huang Xiaoming was confused at this moment. He finally found a girl. Could it be the canary of Wei and Jin?
"Brother Xiao Ming, Wei Sheng and I met at a cocktail party in Xiangjiang."

Yang Ying opened her mouth to explain that she didn't want Kaizi, who had finally caught him, to retreat because she was afraid of Wei Jin's identity.

"Oh, that's how it is"

Yang Ying's honest explanation made Huang Xiaoming wake up. The entertainment industry is only so big, so it's normal for them to know each other. Then he remembered the business of coming over and asked:
"Mr. Wei, I wonder if the role of "The Secret of the Dragon" has been decided yet?"

Although he has begun to shift towards capital in the past two years, and has become a billionaire through the listing of Huayi, and has also been connected to the Hong Kong circle, Huang Xiaoming is still very excited about the big projects of Shanhe Media.

In Huang Xiaoming's opinion, Wei Jin likes to use acquaintances for his projects, and with his relationship with Liu Yifei, the chance should be quite good.

"It hasn't been decided yet, but I won't get involved in the project. The casting is decided by the director. If you are interested, you may wish to communicate more with Director Wu Ershan."

Although Huang Xiaoming was suggested to audition, Wei Jin was not optimistic about him. He was too heavy an idol to play the role well.

"Okay, I won't disturb you. Brother Xiao Ming, Miss Yang, see you later."

Looking at Wei Jin's leaving figure, Yang Ying fell into deep thought, and the scene of receiving stick education with her best friend Wen Yongshan came to mind again.

Thinking of that man's strength, Yang Ying couldn't help but shudder. Unfortunately, this man's status was too high for a young model like her to catch.

"What's wrong with you, Beibi?"

"It's nothing, I just think Wei Qi is so powerful."

"That is, in terms of status and achievements in the industry, I'm afraid no one here can compare to Mr. Wei."

Even though his girl was praising other men, Huang Xiaoming had to admit that there was no comparison.

"Hehe, so Brother Xiao Ming is better. He is friendly and with you, there is no pressure at all. I am really happy."

Yang Ying looked at Huang Xiaoming sweetly at this time, her eyes showed admiration, she was really a little bitch.

The admiration from the opposite sex made Huang Xiaoming feel as comfortable as eating ice cream in the dog days of summer. The more he looked at Yang Ying, the more he liked her. He had no idea that the woman in front of him had already been invested with hundreds of billions of dollars.
